Chapter 443: The Joy of Being an Emperor (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )

Li Cun has been really proud recently.

Before sending troops to attack Jin, a large number of civil officials and literati of the Daqian Dynasty believed that the war against Jin would inevitably cause losses and increase the financial burden of the Daqian Dynasty.

In particular, later, the Daqian Dynasty cut half of the gold, and suddenly went to destroy Goryeo.

At that time, almost seventy or eighty percent of the civil officials and more literati were singing about the decline of the Daqian Dynasty and saying that Li Cun had done something wrong.

As a result, in addition to spending some money and grain at the beginning of the war, the Daqian Dynasty never used the Daqian court to provide money and grain, let alone raise taxes on the people, nor did it levy ordinary farmers to participate in the war without compensation, during the war, whenever there were floods and droughts in the interior, the Daqian court allocated timely and sufficient funds and allocated grain for relief, and the key was that the development of the interior was not delayed at all, for example, not counting the war revenue, the financial income of the Daqian Dynasty increased by almost 30% compared with before the war, for example, The grain production of the Daqian Dynasty has almost doubled compared with the pre-war period, and for example, the major trunk lines planned to be built in the interior by the Daqian Dynasty are now almost all completed.

It is precisely because of this that the imperial court of the Great Qianqian Dynasty was able to provide timely and sufficient relief to the victims.

Moreover, even the little money and grain spent at the beginning of the war had already earned back hundreds of times when Liaodong was conquered.

Later, the money and grain earned in Liaodong were enough to build Liaodong's ports, railways, and govern Liaodong, and there was still a lot of surplus.

And the remaining money and grain were enough to support the Daqian Dynasty's invasion of Goryeo.

When the Daqian Dynasty fought in the first battle, it conquered the capital of the Goryeo Dynasty, Kaigyongluo City, and obtained the accumulation of more than 300 years of the Goryeo Dynasty.

Not only was there enough money to fight Goryeo and Jin, but there was enough money to build railways, build ports, and govern the two newly acquired territories in Goryeo and Northeast China.

After the Daqian Dynasty destroyed the Jin State and obtained the gold, silver and jewelry that the Jurchens plundered and extorted from the Liao Empire and the Goryeo Dynasty by any means, and even did not hesitate to rob tombs, the Daqian Dynasty made a fortune.

-- A rough estimate shows that the Daqian Dynasty has earned at least five years of financial revenue, and this is not counting the countless gold, silver, and exotic treasures that have entered Li Cun's private treasury.

Crucially, the territory of the Daqian Dynasty expanded by almost one-third.

The key is that the problem of Hu suffering, which has plagued the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years, is expected to be completely solved by Li Cun.

In addition, after conquering the Jidi and the Northeast region, many civil officials and literati of the Daqian Dynasty knew that there was a large amount of cultivated land in these two places, especially in the Northeast region, where the black soil shocked the civil officials and literati who knew how to cultivate so much that their jaws almost fell to the ground!

——These civil officials and literati never imagined that there would be such a treasure in the world!

Later, officials sent by the Daqian court to explore the northeast region discovered a large number of coal mines, iron ore, timber and other resources.

This undoubtedly further proves Li Cun's foresight.

At this time, there will definitely be no more civil officials and literati who blame Li Cun for launching a war to cut down Jin and Goryeo, on the contrary, many civil officials and literati began to sing praises to Li Cun, especially Yue Fei and others defeated Jin Wushu in the decisive battle of Qianjin, Yuwen Huangzhong led the soldiers and civilians in Shangjing to surrender to the Great Qian Dynasty, and the destruction of the Jin State was already a sure thing.

And this time, Li Cun didn't say a word like before, and he didn't know these civil officials and literati in general.

On the contrary, this time Li Cun wrote a very high-profile "Theory of Confusion".

On the bright side, Li Cun said that he was only in order to eliminate everyone's doubts and avoid returning to misunderstanding, so he specially imitated the Q&A method of Wang Bao's "Four Sons on Morality" in the Han Dynasty, and wrote this "Theory of Confusion", using the tone of the Zongheng family, assuming that the Spring and Autumn Shuoru, Zhencheng Doctor and Xintian Master were three, Li Cun was in a position to control the overall situation, and made full use of the discussion of the three fictional characters to achieve the effect of "Xuanfeng in the public".

In fact, Li Cun was always haunted by the fact that he had only received the support of a very small number of officials of the Daqian Dynasty before he launched the war to destroy Jin, and that many civil officials and literati were still singing about the decline in the course of the war, and he could not calm the resentment in his heart for a long time, so he wrote this "Theory of Confusion".

In this "Theory of Confusion", Li Cunchen said the real reason for launching these two wars:

"The war on Jin and Goryeo was secretly decided by the Great Cadre Center, and the war is about taking it by surprise and attacking it unprepared, how can it be explained to everyone? Jin Taizong died, not to pass the throne to his son Wanyan Zongpan but to his grandson Wanyan Zongpan, a yellow-mouthed child, as soon as Wanyan Kang took the throne, he and his adoptive father Wanyan Zonggan and others couldn't wait to restructure, resulting in many internal contradictions in the Jin State, continuous infighting, cannibalism, empty consumption of national strength, military strength, and the opportunity to defeat the Jin State was instantaneous. ”

Li Cun said: "If I hadn't seen the right time to send troops decisively, how could I have the opportunity to completely end the troubles that have plagued my Han dynasty for thousands of years? If I am hindered by cowardice, then I will be completely unconscious, completely blind, and completely irresponsible to future generations......"

Li Cun couldn't help but complain about these civil officials and literati: "Many people don't even distinguish between grains and grains, how can they understand the significance of the Northeast to my great cadres?" ”

It can be seen that Li Cun, who destroyed the two countries in a row and expanded the territory of the Daqian Dynasty by almost one-third, is somewhat floating, at least he is unwilling to endure these civil officials and literati who can only speak cool words.

But it's understandable.

No one could personally understand the irritability that these self-righteous civil officials and literati had brought to Li Cun before that.

Let's put it this way, if Li Cun's willpower is a little unfirm, it may make these civil officials and literati lead them away from the war on Jin and Goryeo, and then give up the great plan of the Daqian Dynasty and even the Chinese nation.

Now, Li Cun has slapped these civil officials and literati in the face with a hearty victory, and has fully proved his vision, decision-making ability, and wisdom and martial arts.

In this case, Li Cun is clearly scolding these short-sighted civil officials and literati, and they will not squeak, not to mention, Li Cun also covered it up, so that no one will stand up and scold.

But—

Afterwards, Li Cun thought about it by himself and felt that he was a little too petty.

In any case, the starting point of some civil officials and some literati must be good, and they hope that they will not be reckless in their military force and will lead the Daqian Dynasty, which has great prospects, into a state of decay or even destruction.

This kind of thing is not unheard of in history.

The most typical example is Emperor Tang Ming.

In the first half of his life, Emperor Tang Ming was wise and martial, comparable to Tang Sect of the Han Dynasty.

In the second half of his life, Emperor Tang Ming was extremely mediocre, and he almost didn't kill the Tang Dynasty and was on the list of faint monarchs.

With an example like Tang Minghuang in the past, these civil officials and literati are a little worried, and it is normal, after all, not everyone is like themselves, after the baptism of the information explosion, they are a hanger.

So, the next day, Li Cun wrote another "Asking for Advice".

In this "Seeking Advice", Li Cun bluntly said:

The decline of any dynasty, including its demise, is not worthy of sympathy or regret.

In most cases, a dynasty dies because of its internal problems, for example, the emperor is mediocre, corrupt, traitorous ministers are in power, and the government decrees are unreasonable, which leads to the chaos of the dynasty, which in turn leads to the decline of the dynasty or even the demise of the dynasty.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat.

The establishment of any dynasty is the accumulation of blood and even lives of officials and people throughout the country, so the Daqian Dynasty is not the surname of its own family, but the common home of all officials and people of the Daqian Dynasty.

An excellent dynasty can give courage to the weak, awe to the strong, stop power, do good deeds, and not fear the wicked.

Only in this way can the dynasty be stable, prosperous, and long-lasting.

Although I am an emperor, I can't see the six roads with my eyes, I can't hear all directions with my ears, and I can't do everything.

Li Cun made it clear that the ministers of the DPRK and China are all responsible for speaking out, and when I have biased thoughts in making certain decisions, I need the ministers to dare to stand up and point out my problems.

Li Cun also made it clear that his goal is: "The situation must be understood" and "foreign affairs must be heard." So that he and the minister can have a more realistic understanding of the social dynamics at that time, and the people's hearts are opposed. In handling major military affairs and formulating principles, policies and measures for governing the country and the country, we should be able to conform to the objective situation and reduce mistakes......

Li Cun, who had been baptized by the information explosion of later generations, had long realized that if the emperor did not seek advice and did not know the voice of the people, the dynasty under his rule would perish sooner or later.

Just like the Sui Dynasty in history, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty refused to believe in it, and as a result, he died.

- Yuan Ren Gezhi once said that there were many reasons why Emperor Yang of Sui lost the world, and the biggest reason was that he refused to accept advice and did not listen to the voices of his subordinates and the people. There are many reasons why Li Shimin became the first emperor of the ages, and the biggest reason is to seek advice and pay attention to the opinions of his subjects.

Li Cun, who has heard and witnessed too many such painful historical lessons, of course does not want to re-step on Yang Guang's retreat, but hopes that he can become an emperor through the ages like Li Shimin.

In addition, the political system of the feudal state determines that the whole world is British and non-royal land, and the British and non-royal ministers are the rulers of the land, and the emperor is above everything else, and all the power is in one, and there is no supervision mechanism for the emperor.

——Although all dynasties and dynasties have set up supervision of imperial history, counseling doctors and other ministers to supervise and advise disputes, the vast majority of them are only supervising and picketing ministers, and they are useless for the emperor.

So in Chinese history, most emperors were mediocre and incompetent, or corrupt and violent; Only a very small number of emperors who made great efforts not only paid attention to the role of supervision and counseling departments, but also let all their ministers supervise themselves and accept the advice of various subordinates.

And Li Cun certainly wants to be the latter.

When Li Cun had just destroyed the two countries of Goryeo and Jin, completely recovered Liaodong, Jidi and the northeast, greatly expanded the territory, and covered the ancient and modern times, he was able to write an article like "Seeking Advice".

It is reminiscent of the "Theory of Confusion" written by Li Cun the day before.

Li Cun just complained and complained, and what he said was also the truth, and there was nothing wrong with it.

But because Li Cun was worried that his own approach would hinder his own hearing and hearing, Li Cun himself corrected it in time without anyone advising Li Cun.

This made many civil officials and literati cry with excitement, glad that they met a reasonable Mingjun, even if their opinions were wrong, Li Cun didn't care about them.

- You know, if they encounter a conceited tyrant, then they will not only ruin their own future, but may also be punished.

The key is that Li Cun has always been like a stream of advice, rewarding and reusing ministers who actively admonish and disagree, severely punishing those who block the way, and despising those who flatter him, and when someone puts forward opinions to Li Cun, Li Cun is also willing to accept generously and actively correct them.

Everyone can see that Li Cun is really humble and admonished, not just acting like many emperors.

As a result, the ministers of the quick struggle, with Chen Gongfu, Hu Quan, Li Guang and others as important backbones, were loyal to the major affairs of the imperial court and the military state, as well as the trivial matters of Li Cun's life; Influence everywhere, large and small ministers, up to the minister, down to the county of the Jiupin sesame official, and the queen, the prince, the prince, and even the concubines in the palace, have all admonished, inside and outside the court, forming a good situation of everyone discussing politics.

This situation enabled Li Cun to pool his wisdom and govern better, ensured that Li Cun became a wise monarch who guarded against arrogance and extravagance and was sympathetic to his feelings, put an end to the situation in which no one dared to admonish many dynasties, and only the emperor or some powerful ministers were arbitrary and arbitrary, and also avoided major mistakes in the policies of the Daqian Dynasty.

For example, this time, after Li Cun asked for advice, Chen Gongfu persuaded Li Cun to implement the policy of "rejuvenating literature through reform, giving benefits to virtue, and making China peaceful and people from afar to serve themselves".

Li Cun gladly adopted Chen Gongfu's suggestion and implemented the policy proposed by Chen Gongfu together with the other rulers.

In addition, Li Guang, Hu Quan, and others suggested merging counties and counties, streamlining institutions, reducing personnel, emphasizing the selection of prefects and county orders, trusting ministers, paying attention to giving play to the role of subordinates, and preventing eunuchs from interfering in political affairs.

In addition, many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, especially those who have caused public resentment, have been reported.

In short, as long as it is reasonable advice, Li Cun will adopt it one by one.

This made the Daqian Dynasty more politically well-versed and prosperous.

Of course, there are also some blind guys who are eye-opening and have their eyes on Li Cun's harem again.

Some ministers said that Li Cun had too many women, almost 20,000 people, and this time it increased by more than 3,000 people at once, hoping that Li Cun could streamline the number of people in the harem;

There are also people who believe that everyone has a daughter-in-law, and Li Cun snatched the enemy's wife and daughter, which hurt the peace of the heavens, and hoped that Li Cun could be forgiving and forgiving, and correct this barbaric behavior;

There are also some people who advise Li Cun to abstain from sex and not to put a lot of energy on women......

Li Cun did not listen to any such advice.

Just kidding!

When I am the emperor, this is just a little fun, and you still want to deprive it, it is too inhumane.

Not only that, Li Cun will also use practical actions to tell these people: In this matter, I just won't change my life, and no one will persuade me anymore in the future......
