Chapter 576: Harming others and benefiting oneself

In the tenth year of Yongle, the heir of the Xiao family in South Asia disappeared in Africa, the Xiao family was furious, and the war began.

From Africa to Europe and finally to the Americas.

A large number of feudal states were involved in the war.

Even the state of Chu did not hide from it.

Li Chen was forced to personally go to the battlefield to direct the war and deal with the chaos in Eastern Europe.

The royal family surnamed Li everywhere was forced to take up arms and participate in the war.

After the first year, the war had lost its justice.

Everyone forgot the reasons for the war in the first place.

I only remember that I was going to kill the enemy who killed my father on the other side.

Europe is the place where the most tragic battles are fought.

The Eastern Roman Empire was completely shattered, and the Roman Council, a symbol of equality, was overnamed.

In the end, Li Longji personally led the team over and protected the Eastern Roman Diet with absolute force, so as not to let it perish.

In the war-torn years, hundreds of people were displaced.

Li Shizhi blocked all the external channels of Datang with absolute force.

Let the strife outside be isolated from Datang.

The war has been fought for five years, and the biggest impact on Datang is one, the wages of the people have fallen.

A large number of foreign populations have poured into Datang.

If everyone is not all black-haired, black-eyed and yellow-skinned, the population of Datang will refuse their entry.

In this war, the Confucian feudal state was defeated.

Only the most central part remains.

Ercui's feudal kingdom was forced to move to Europe, and the ancestral halls in Central Asia were lost.

The Xue family and the Liu family were officially separated, and even the graves where Xue Rengui and his wife were buried together were separated, which shows the degree of hatred between the two sides.

The Taiyuan royal family relied on the two famous generals from the family to resist the chaotic war.

The worst is the Lu family, their family was almost wiped out, and it was Li Longji who personally led the team to rescue them.

Li Longji, who did not become an emperor, did not achieve brilliance, and did not indulge in beauty, let people see what is called peak ability.

At the very least, Li Kuan looked sideways.

War also ignited in North America, and the South Asian family crossed the sea.

The two sides have taken naval warfare to a new level in the waters of Southeast Asia.

The only ones that have not been affected by the war are South America.

They abandoned much of the coastline and took refuge inland.

Originally, they developed slowly, and they were even more reluctant to participate in the war.

In the sixteenth year of Yongle, the war in the Tang world ended.

Everyone gathered in Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty to discuss matters in the form of a council.

Families that have lost their feudal kingdoms have no need to participate.

After this battle, a large amount of terra nullius appeared outside.

The remaining feudal kingdoms are all labored and injured, and they have no energy to occupy them at all.

In the end, it was Li Shizhi who came out to be a peacemaker and made the matter come to a conclusion.

I made a big board of fifty each.

When Li Chen returned to Chu after attending the meeting, his face was extremely gloomy.

"Li Shizhi and Li Longji, the two little bastards, have a completely muddy attitude, they don't want to solve the problem at all, they just press if they can, and everyone is forced to accept the pressure, but they are all angry in their hearts."

"In the future, there will definitely be wars."

"These two little bastards are both seamstresses in the Tang world."

Li Chen was furious.

After listening to this, Li Kuan was thoughtful.

He thought it was funny.

"I have a different opinion from you, I don't think these two people are the sewing craftsmen of the Tang world, on the contrary, they are still the-stirring sticks of the Tang world."

Li Kuan's eyes narrowed and said with a smile.

Li Chen was stunned, he didn't know where his father got this kind of thing.

"You say, who has benefited the most from these five years of war?"

Li Chen frowned, is there a profiteer?

In his eyes, after the war, they are just a bunch of losers.

The Li family where Li Shizhi was located was also beaten in North America.

The Tang court also lost a lot of wealth in this war.

Many foreign businesses have suffered heavy losses, and Datang, which has no foreign trade, has lost a lot of taxes.

So, where is there any gainer.

"Datang will benefit."

Li Kuan said with a smile.

What Li Chen didn't pay attention to, he did.

Li Chen looked at his father, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

Therefore, he chose to seek advice with an open mind.

"Daddy, please speak."

Li Kuan drank a glass of wine, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "First of all, the first place where Datang gains is that Datang has obtained enough technical talents. ”

"The Tang people are at war in the world, and a large number of feudal talents flock to Datang, filling the Tang Dynasty."

"Second, foreign wars, products can't be consumed externally, they can only be sold internally, self-consumption."

"As a result, high-priced products cannot be sold, and the price can only be reduced, which makes many high-priced products drop in large quantities."

"Third, foreign wars, many products that need foreign supply cannot come in, so Datang needs to find its own way to produce, so Datang has created a lot of technologies."

When Li Kuan's words fell, Li Chen's expression had already become shocked.

"Why didn't I find out?"

Li Chen was really panicked.

Datang has undergone such a big change, he has no cognition at all, and his son does not have this cognition.

That can only mean that their father and son are not qualified.

They had two fathers and sons, one was the monarch of Chu and the other was the crown prince, but they didn't notice that the behemoth next door was constantly eating war benefits.

This is a remiss of duty.

Li Kuan smiled, and the smile in his eyes became even bigger.

"Because you and Yulong, as well as the vast number of smart people in the Tang world, have been deceived by Li Shizhi and Li Longji."

"Li Shizhi started from the top, no, since he was the prince, he showed a state of gentleness like jade, a humble gentleman."

"And this time, he really didn't make any money."

"So you don't think about how much he's earning."

"Besides, isn't everyone outside saying he's a loser now?"

The corners of Li Kuan's mouth curled up with mockery.

Li Shizhi is the weakest emperor in the history of the Tang Dynasty, and there have been many rumors that he is the son of a defeated son of the Tang Dynasty.

At least, even he heard it.

And the reason why he could hear it was that there were many people in the palace of their Chu State.

That's the reality.

are all watching Li Shizhi's jokes.

But in Li Kuan's eyes, you laugh at Li Shizhi, and he laughs at you.

Do you think he is a loser, and he is still changing Datang in his own way.

Li Chen's face changed for a while.

Careless.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was played by Li Shizhi.

"Moreover, have you noticed one thing, there are a lot of blank spaces in the Tang world."

"These blank spaces can be arranged for meritorious people."

"There are also those feudal states that have been taken back, and officials can also be arranged to govern them."

"No matter from which point of view, Datang is a sure win."

Li Kuan's mouth suddenly opened again, making Li Chen wake up instantly.

Li Shizhi is scheming and very methodical.

"Why did he do this?"

Li Chen didn't understand this.

"It's very simple."

"Datang's heritage is getting deeper and deeper, Datang is getting stronger and stronger, the feudal countries are getting weaker and weaker, and Datang's position is more stable."

"The five-year war has led to the regression of the economy of some feudal countries, and the stagnation of the economy of some feudal countries."

"Only Datang is getting stronger and stronger."

This is a direct harm to others and self-interest.
