In this way, the problem of separating the feudal towns that plagued Zhao Kuangyin can be completely solved, at least more than half of it.

Since there are monks, there is no need to be so precautionary against those soldiers, and they can't make too much of a storm anyway, right?

"But...... Why? ”

Zhao Kuangyin was a little puzzled.

Qin Tian was a little speechless when he heard this.

Because in Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, foreign enemies, especially the nomads in the north, can't turn up too much of a storm.

Because there's a history to follow.

For more than 1,000 years, no dynasty has ever perished at the hands of nomads.

Perhaps the nomads of the north had moments of strength, but in the final analysis, they were never the opponents of the Central Plains Dynasty.

As long as the whole country is unified, then even if the nomads are strong, they will only be strong for a moment and a half, and they will not pose a fundamental threat to the regime at all.

On the contrary, from ancient times to the present, almost all of the great unified dynasties began to collapse from within.

If it weren't for the peasant uprising, if it wasn't for the secession of the feudal towns, the harassment of the nomads would have been nothing more than a temporary pain.

Therefore, in Zhao Kuangyin's concept, since domestic problems can be solved once and for all, why not simply solve them directly.

Instead, do you want to open your mouth and focus on dealing with foreign enemies?

Qin Tian was rarely silent.

It cannot be said that Zhao Kuangyin's cognition is incorrect.

Because history is indeed as Zhao Kuangyin said, from ancient times to the present, no dynasty has ever perished in the hands of nomads.

The fundamental reason for the demise of those dynasties was the internal strife of the country, and as for the invasion of foreign enemies, it was just adding fuel to the fire.

They were not the root cause from start to finish.

It was precisely because of this idea that the later Song Dynasty finally died at the hands of the Mongols.

Of course, this also has something to do with the emergence of countless great men in the north, such as Genghis Khan.

"If they are just a disease of mustard, then why has no one really solved this problem in the past dynasties, countless dynasties, for thousands of years?"

Qin Tian didn't answer, but instead threw out another question.

"What do you want? If it's just a temporary peace, then the topic can be stopped, and it will be carried out according to your ideas, and there will be no problems. ”

"But if you want long-term peace and stability, you have to face this problem."

Qin Tian said slowly.

"Li Shimin once sat down with me and discussed, today, I will let you watch the conversation between the two of us back then."

What Qin Tian said was naturally that he and Li Shimin discussed the topic of how to deal with Turkic people and other ethnic minorities that day.

The Central Plains Dynasty and the nomads have been in a relationship since ancient times.

Limited by factors such as climate and environment, when the Central Plains Dynasty was weak, it was when the nomads were strong, and vice versa.

There is only one way to solve this problem once and for all.

Only a genuine and effective rule over them can solve this problem.

It's like the transformation of the barbarian lands in the south.

Since the beginning of the Later Han Dynasty, the dynasty has carried out land transformation and reintegration of the wild lands in the south.

The emergence of this policy also includes the shadow of Qin Tian.

After hundreds of years of changes, the south has become completely part of the Central Plains Dynasty.

As for the northern steppes, the only way to solve the problem of nomadic invasion is to implement complete and effective rule.

But the current Song Dynasty can't do this at all.

The former Han Dynasty did not do it, the Later Han Dynasty did not do it, the Tang Dynasty could not do it, and the Song Dynasty naturally couldn't do it now.

Because this is a project that needs to be maintained for decades or even centuries, and it is not a problem that can be solved in one or several generations.

And now the Song Dynasty is still difficult to protect itself, let alone completely solve the problem of nomads.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the sixteen states of Yanyun, with the current situation of the Song Dynasty, how many years will it take to fully recover?

Zhao Kuangyin is indeed eloquent, but if he can't solve it, can his children, his children's children also inherit his eloquence?

The fact that the previous dynasty did not die to foreign enemies does not mean that the Song dynasty will not.

Because the previous dynasty had never had such a difficult start as the current Song Dynasty.

Even Shu Han had a political talent as eloquent as Zhuge Liang, a monarch like Liu Bei who completely trusted his subordinates, and the high-yield crops that suddenly appeared at that time barely managed to unify the world.

And what is there in the current Song Dynasty? Whether the world can be unified is still two words!

……

After a long time, Zhao Kuangyin slowly opened his eyes.

After watching the conversation between Qin Tian and Li Shimin that day, Zhao Kuangyin felt a lot of emotion.

Only then did he realize that he had always underestimated the northerners.

In his cognition, the north is just a group of barbarians, and he doesn't need to take it to heart at all.

But after seeing the picture Qin Tian showed him, and after watching Qin Tian's chat with Li Shimin that day, Zhao Kuangyin has basically completely reversed his thoughts.

"So it seems...... Could it be that I, the Song Dynasty, will be the same as before, a short-lived ghost? ”

Zhao Kuangyin's confidence was almost completely lost.

The problem of foreign enemies is so serious that even people like Li Shimin have no way to completely solve it, so how can the current Song Dynasty solve this problem?

What if the rebellion in the country is put down?

In the end, it will still be surrounded by strong enemies, exhaust the last trace of strength, and then become the wedding dress of others!

"Not really." Qin Tian smiled faintly: "With me here, why are you afraid?" ”

"Speaking of which, you might as well guess, where did the corn and potatoes and other crops that suddenly appeared in Han come from?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Kuangyin was suddenly shocked.

This is a question that has puzzled almost everyone in history.

Why did so many magical things suddenly appear in the territory of the Later Han Dynasty at that time?

Combined with the legends he had heard before, and then looking at the immortal sitting in front of him, Zhao Kuangyin had a bold guess in his heart!

"So that legend is true!"

Zhao Kuangyin was so excited that his whole body trembled!

He had never thought about it before.

Because although Zhao Kuangyin has seen the monk, he also knows that the monk does not have much ability.

In addition to being able to fight some and do some things that are jaw-dropping to mortals, the difference between them and mortals is not very big.

Even those methods that are beyond ordinary people are still within the comprehension of mortals.

But that's because those so-called monks haven't even been able to touch the threshold of foundation building, and they are not comparable to people like Qin Tian, who can be called true immortals!

Although Zhao Kuangyin had never seen Qin Tian himself take action, he also knew that Qin Tian was far from being comparable to ordinary monks.

Now after Qin Tian's mention, I suddenly thought of those legends that circulated among the folk!

Qin Tian nodded lightly: "Yes, those seeds and techniques were given to Zhuge Liang by me personally." ”

Speaking of this, Qin Tian couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"In order to screen out these seeds, I traveled thousands of miles to find the first seeds of these crops from overseas continents."

"In order to cultivate these high-yielding crops, it took me a year to sift through tens of thousands of generations of seeds before finally selecting these high-yielding food crops."

Zhao Kuangyin was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Due to the development of the imperial examinations such as biology in the previous dynasties, as long as people who are proficient in agricultural affairs, they know more or less about crops.

For example, in the case of breeding, the plants planted from the seeds of high-yielding plants are also likely to be high-yielding.

If you want to increase the yield, you only need to use stupid methods, screen generation after generation, and constantly select the high-yielding seeds, and finally get more high-yield seeds.

Quantitative change accumulates qualitative change.

Drought-tolerant, cold-tolerant, etc. are also the same truth.

Laymen only know these things, and only those who really study biology and medicine know the concepts of genetic trait segregation.

Although Zhao Kuangyin is not proficient in farming, he still knows a little about this aspect.

It wasn't until this time that he realized that in order to screen out those crops that would benefit all the people, Qin Tian had spent so much time and so much energy!

Zhao Kuangyin asked himself, if it was him, he would never be able to do this!

Because the most important thing is that after the deed was completed, Qin Tian did not covet fame at all, and gave all the credit to Zhuge Liang!

If it weren't for Mr. Kong Ming's righteousness and unwillingness to covet Qin Tian's reputation, I am afraid that no one would know that there were immortals who gave him high-yield grain in the first place!

"Don't get me wrong, I asked Kong Ming not to reveal my name at the beginning."

Qin Tian said a little helplessly: "It's just that I didn't expect Kong Ming to spread my reputation anyway." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin got up and bowed deeply to Qin Tian.

"Zhao Mou thanks the immortals for the people of the world!"

"Get up." Qin Tian said lightly: "I just do this casually, and I don't covet anything. ”

"So with me at the beginning, the Hou Han was able to burst out with amazing potential and dominate the world, and now you also have me, why bother to be arrogant?"

Qin Tian smiled faintly: "Are you looking down on me, or are you looking down on yourself?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin lowered his head, indicating that he understood.

"I told you the problem, how to solve it, it's up to you."

Qin Tian said lightly: "I won't give you all the help, if you don't work hard yourself, then this Song Dynasty will die." ”

Zhao Kuangyin lowered his head and threw himself to the ground: "Zhao has been taught!" ”

Qin Tian accepted Zhao Kuangyin's kneeling with peace of mind.

"But speaking of which, it's been almost a year since you found any other children, haven't you found any other children?"

The nationwide screening has been going on for a full year, but there are still only two students under Qin Tian, Qingfeng and Qingshui, plus Momo and a big black dog.

There was nothing else.

Zhao Kuangyin was a little ashamed when he heard this.

Screening is really a time-consuming and labor-intensive thing, and in the past year, Zhao Kuangyin has been able to screen the people within the entire Kaifeng City.

And every year, no, almost every day, there are newborns, and these people also have to be screened, which brings great difficulties to the screening work.

Zhao Kuangyin doesn't have a good solution to this.

As a result, the work proceeds very slowly.

In the past year, Zhao Kuangyin has also found suitable candidates, but most of them are too young, and the youngest is so hungry that one is even half a year old!

If these children were sent over, then Qin Tian would almost become a kindergarten here.

So Zhao Kuangyin has not moved here.

Qin Tian pondered for a moment: "It's just that I didn't think about it. ”

"In that case, then I'll go back and ask Mu Chun to send you some more jade slips."

"Send these jade slips to the officials at the grassroots level and let them be in charge of the screening work."

"As for age, that's not an issue." Qin Tian said lightly: "When I go back, I will ask the little fox to set up a special department, which will be scattered all over the country to take care of those children who are too young. ”

Qin Tian can raise the age limit a little higher, so that children have the most basic self-care ability.

But considering that many children are likely not to live to that age at all, Qin Tian felt that it was better not to make a minimum age limit.

In this way, I can only work hard for the little fox.

Zhao Kuangyin hesitated when he heard this.

"If I could, I could do that."

Qin Tian glanced at Zhao Kuangyin when he heard this, and suddenly understood in his heart.

To some extent, this is actually similar to the college rush for students in later generations.

Cultivating one's own power begins with the birth of gifted children.

However, Qin Tian only needed students, and as for where the students came from, Qin Tian didn't care at all.

If Mu Chun and Ling Xia were willing, they could also form their own organization to take care of those children who were too young.

"As long as your finances can keep up, then let it be."

If anything, it doesn't really cost much.

This is because although there are many children born every year, there are actually very few who really have the talent for cultivation.

There are 100 million or 200 million people in the country, and it is not surprising that dozens or even a few people can be screened out every year.

And this also excludes families who are able to take care of their own children.

In this way, there are fewer children to take care of.

"I have only one request, I can't use strong force." Qin Tian glanced at Zhao Kuangyin.

"If I find out, you should know what the consequences will be."

"Nothing can be hidden from my eyes."

For others, Qin Tian was not worried at all.

The little fox is measured, she disciplines her very strictly, and her subordinates naturally will not do anything difficult for a strong man.

After all, not all parents want their children to be born with someone else.

The only possible problem is Zhao Kuangyin.

There are too many distractions and too many distractions of mortals, and in order to ensure their own interests, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no situation where someone forcibly snatches the child.

When this happens, it's basically pushing the monks down the wrong path.

This situation was absolutely not allowed by Qin Tian.

That's why Qin Tian warned Zhao Kuangyin so harshly.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded again and again.

He knew too well what the little officials were going to do.

In order to prevent this from happening, he had to come up with a perfect measure to completely prevent this from happening.

As for what the measures are, it will take the brains of the subordinates.

If he wants to do anything, then what do you need his people to do? (End of chapter)
