Hearing Zhu Zhang's pause, Lin Che laughed angrily at this goods.

"You're so smart!"

"Okay, according to what you said, the imperial court no longer hires officials, but what about the army? The army can't stay the same forever, can it? ”

"Do you know how much it costs to raise soldiers? You were born in a military general's family, these should know better than me! ”

Zhu Fan scratched his head, thought about it, and his eyes lit up:

"The army can achieve self-sufficiency through military cantonments, and at the same time expand its territory to the outside world, feed the war with war, and feed the imperial court."

"This is what you taught, Mr. Lin!"

"Let's see if this works!"

Lin Che smiled, looked at the other party with interest, and asked:

"Yes, what can I do with the land that has been knocked down?"

"Who's going to manage? Who will farm? ”

"By those big soldiers?"

Faced with Lin Che's constant questioning, Zhu Fan's thoughts couldn't keep up.

After taking a sip of wine, pondering for a moment, he suddenly thought of something and stood up excitedly:

"What do you care about so much?"

"When the time comes, take away all the valuable things on the grabbed land, and don't care about the rest, what do you like."

"If you can't do it, you will kill it, anyway, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, and if you kill it, you will not be troubled."

The words fell.

Silent.

Lin Che was speechless by this neatness, and froze there with a wine cup.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was separated by a wall, heard this, and his brain suddenly buzzed.

I just praised this rabbit cub for making progress, but I didn't expect it to be like this, it's just a shame!

Is that how you deal with the problem?

In addition to killing or robbing, how is this different from banditry?!

How did our old Zhu family raise such a bandit ruffian.

"You can do it!"

Lin Che put down the wine cup and gave a thumbs up to the other party.

"It's too condescending for you to lead troops into battle, and being a bandit is the most suitable for you!"

"With your brain, the widows who harassed our Ming Dynasty saw you, and they all had to shout at you! It's simply the leader of the bandit world! ”

Zhu Rong: "..."

Zhu Fan heard the sarcasm in Lin Che's words, and his face turned slightly red, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was no problem.

Could it be that we conquered this country, and we still have to pay for their people.

Then let's conquer a ball!

If we are sending money and troops, won't it become a big injustice?

You can't do that!

"We told you before, you didn't pay attention to listening, we let you expand the territory just to grab something valuable? Is it good to use your brain more? ”

"The purpose of expanding territory is to obtain sustainable profits, and it is not a one-shot deal like this."

"Robbed and killed, this is what the grassland people did to the Central Plains Dynasty, what do you think they will end up with?"

"You have turned the land you laid into a ruin, how can you expect people to help you earn money, and where else can you earn money?"

"Fighting a war requires huge expenses, not to mention the things you grabbed, if it is not enough for military expenses, even if it is enough for military expenses, you will have to die when you fight, how can this account be calculated?"

"If you can't get money from a war, what kind of war can you fight?"

"Pig brains!"

In the face of Lin Che's reprimand and analysis, Zhu Fan realized something:

"Oh!"

"I see!"

"Let's lay the land, so that the people of different races can earn money and pay taxes for us."

"It's still Mr. Lin who is thoughtful!"

Lin Che raised his hand to interrupt the other party's sycophancy.

I don't want to continue this topic, otherwise he will be taken off topic again.

"Let's not talk about the war today."

"Today's theme is the connection between culture and economy."

Hearing this, Zhu Fan sat up straight and listened carefully to the other party's lecture.

"In the final analysis, the common people have no other way to make money except farming, and the country's taxes mainly rely on these ordinary people, which is the fundamental problem."

"If the people earn a lot of money, no matter how the court recruits talents, how the army expands, and how the emperor tosses it, it doesn't matter."

"On the contrary, as you just said, if you don't have money to support you, it's just a trick."

Hearing this, Zhu Fan knew that what he was saying was, and he didn't dare to speak out.

Respectfully filled Lin Che with a glass of wine, and then listened.

"Forget it, I'll just talk about it, you can listen to it casually, you can understand it if you can, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, go back and think about it slowly."

Lin Che sandwiched a piece of meat, took another sip of wine, swallowed it together, and then said:

"The Chinese nation has been extended from the Chinese people to the Han people and the Tang people to the present, constituting a history of 5,000 years, and it is also the history of China's cultural development for 5,000 years."

"The history of China is majestic!"

"Only when the nation is unified and the nation is cohesive can the nation be indestructible."

"However, the Chinese nation was not unified at first, and it could not form a cultural community."

"All ethnic groups look at each other unpleasantly, in order to compete for resources, today I will beat you, tomorrow you will beat me, endless tossing."

"At that time, it could not be called a nation, and it could even be said to be a plate of scattered sand."

"How did the ancestors of history solve this problem?"

After a pause, Lin Che continued:

"Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty implemented reforms, in short, four words: cultural integration!"

"Seek common ground first, then seek differences!"

"Seeking common ground is one country, and reserving differences is two systems, which in turn promote cultural identity."

"One hundred years, two hundred years have passed, and there is a sense of cultural identity."

"The Xianbei people on the grassland gradually merged with the Han people in the Central Plains, and the Xianbei people intermarried with the Han people and gradually became sinicized."

"Gradually, you and I are almost the same, we can live together, and there will be no more fights."

"Isn't that the truth?"

When Zhu Fan heard this, he felt like listening to a book from heaven, his mind was a mess, and he just nodded dumbly.

"Also, is the system of the North and South Courts of the Liao Kingdom successful?"

"It was a success!"

"These are inseparable from the strength of Han culture, if Han culture is not strong, it will not assimilate Khitan culture at all."

Lin Che said methodically:

"For example, the border trade between Song and Liao developed very well, and Liao was eventually sinicized..."

"The Jin Kingdom further north was more barbaric, Jin destroyed Liao, and the border trade of Song and Jin Sinicized Jin again"

"Jin was later destroyed by the Mongols, and the Mongols went south and defeated the Southern Song Dynasty, and in less than a hundred years, the Mongols were sinicized."

"Isn't it?"

"Therefore, the economy carries culture!"

"The two are inseparable!"

Hear this.

Zhu Yuanzhang next door suddenly opened his mouth, and his originally intricate thoughts were straightened out as if he had peeled off a cocoon.

"I see..."

Zhu Yuanzhang pressed his hand on the back of the chair, and instantly thought of a lot in his mind, and said excitedly:

"What Mr. Lin is pointing to by Jianfeng, it turns out to be here..."

"If you don't move the sword, you won't fight..."

"Harvest the wealth of the world, let the Ming Dynasty stand tall!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but stand up and paced in the secret room:

"Forming a cultural community... Economy carries culture... That's a good thing to say, it's just wonderful! ”

"It's amazing!"
