People without long-term worries must have immediate worries. Troubled times bring not only chaos, but also various welfares. Troubled times have been around for a long time, and people have experienced a lot of hardships and will have lower demands. In the past, Xiliang soldiers were willing to sacrifice their lives for you as long as you gave them food.

, would you try it in the prosperous times? But the troubled times will eventually pass, and Yuan Shu has to think more about all aspects. He must make the country rich but also strengthen the army, and cannot repeat the mistakes of the Song Dynasty.

Similarly, in troubled times, interests are reshuffled, and it is also the time when it is easiest to rectify the country. Once the world is at peace, it will be difficult to change some systems because it will offend the interests of many people. When the world is at peace and external conflicts are reduced,

Internal conflicts will naturally increase, and even someone as iron-blooded as Yuan Shu cannot easily change things for no reason.

Therefore, Yuan Shu is not in a hurry to dominate the world now. Da Chu's current system still needs some time to be continuously improved, and there are still many internal problems that need to be solved. After all, conquering the world is different from ruling the world. In troubled times, many policies are implemented to conquer the world.

They are all killing the goose to lay eggs, or they are just temporary measures. As time goes by, many unsolvable problems will accumulate and eventually bring down the country. For example, various problems that appeared in the late Song and Ming Dynasties, how to maintain balance and ensure the internal balance of national resources

The circulatory system must be healthy to avoid the situation where the tail is too big to fall off in some link. This kind of situation really gives Yuan Shu a headache.

With two thousand years of experience, Yuan Shu knew too many hidden dangers of the country's subjugation. Before looking at the Han Dynasty, he looked at enfeoffment, relatives, eunuchs, warlords, harsh government, land, aristocratic families, etc. Looking back, he saw the internal strife and corruption of the Jin Dynasty, and the internal strife and corruption of the Sui Dynasty.

Haste and impatience, the military separatism of the Tang Dynasty, the corrupt Confucianism and weak army of the Song Dynasty, the tax corruption of the Ming Dynasty, the failure of reforms, the Donglin Party, businessmen's betrayal, etc. In addition, the inheritance of the throne seems to be forever difficult to solve, the emperor is ignorant, and the royal family is complex.

, civil and military balance, power balance, class balance, and natural disasters and other issues.

Almost every point may become the cause of the country's destruction. Yuan Shu knew that nothing is perfect in the world, and the country he built may not escape the fate of destruction, but he still wanted to establish an institutional system as complete as possible to maintain the country's prosperity.

Long-term peace and stability.

"It's difficult to govern the country!" Zhuge Liang said sincerely, thinking of all the things happening in the court.

Local management people like him are better off. They only need to implement the policies of superiors to manage some local problems. The group of people at the top of the power who plan these policy adjustments are really tired. People like Tian Feng and Ju Shou are in positions of power.

The core thing is that he is busy every day, being manipulated like a donkey by Yuan Shu. Even salty fish like Jia Xu and Xun You were forced out by Yuan Shu.

There is no way, the troubled times are about to end. If we don't seize the last golden time to solve the internal problems as soon as possible, it will be even more difficult in the future. Maybe the problems that can be solved in one day will take more than half a month later, so I just

Let these people worry more.

"In the past few years, our country, Da Chu, has prospered and its economy has developed rapidly. However, the military expenses have not increased too fast. Your Majesty intends to reduce the proportion of financial allocations for the military. Otherwise, it will be

It is not difficult to equip the entire army with powerful crossbows." Zhou Yu said.

"The army must be strong, but people's livelihood must be more important. After all, there has been a lot of military allocations, and a lot of territory has been captured over the years, but these territories are currently a burden. I, Da Chu, basically rely on Yangzhou and Jingzhou.

He Yizhou is supporting other states and counties. The financial gap is too large, and infrastructure, medical care and education are even more stretched. Although our Chu State is unprecedentedly wealthy, your Majesty's method of governance is still not enough." Zhuge Liang

road.

"The Han Dynasty will be at peace, but the world is still undecided. Is it too early to focus too much on people's livelihood at this time? After all, Shendu and Guishang have not been captured yet." Zhou Yu frowned.

"This is the result of countless calculations and trade-offs between His Majesty and the Dukes of the court. In order to maximize the use of finances, they have tried their best to achieve a balance between people's livelihood and the military, and even have a strong preference for the military. In fact,

In my opinion, the current proportion of Dachu’s military allocation has greatly exceeded the standard, and should be reduced by a few percent. Every less than 10,000 troops are maintained for education and medical care. After more than ten years, our Dachu

At least it can increase thousands of scholars and hundreds of thousands of people." Zhuge Liang shook his head.

"It is certainly difficult to conquer Kushan and Shendu, but how to effectively rule and manage it afterwards is even more difficult. If there are not enough people and scholars to carry out erosion and management, what will happen even if they are conquered? The current population of the Han people wants to occupy

Such a large area is not enough."

Conflicts between the two people naturally arise when they join the army and politics. Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu are both wise men, but they stand on different sides and naturally have different thoughts and opinions. Just like Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms, some people criticized him for his six outings in Qishan.

It was a militancy that depleted the vitality of the Shu Kingdom. But if you really put yourself in the situation, what would you do if you didn't do this in that situation? Are you fighting for development and internal affairs with the Wei Kingdom, whose territory and population are several times larger? What kind of situation?

Under the circumstances, there was no other choice. If you don't fight, you will die. With Zhuge Liang's amazing talent at the time, there might be a glimmer of hope.

Zhou Yu could not deny Zhuge Liang's explanation. He also understood this truth. However, from the standpoint of a general, every time there is less funding and more sophisticated weapons and equipment, the army will lose some combat power and more people will die.

.The contradiction was irreconcilable and he had to fight.

You can't say that the lives of the hundreds of soldiers who were wrapped in horse leather while fighting for the country are less valuable than the tens of thousands of children who died of illness. This is a question of human nature and stance, and it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. When you put yourself in the battlefield,

Watch with your own eyes the comrades you have been with day and night and die heroically on the battlefield fighting for the country, or when you are in a village and see many innocent and lovely children around you suffer from minor illnesses or disasters due to lack of doctors.

If you die without treatment, your choice will naturally be different.

But from Yuan Shu's point of view, it doesn't matter whose life is more precious, but only which one has higher utilization value and is more worthy of being chosen. This is the quality that a ruler should have, treating the lives of the people as nothing but kindness and kindness

Loving people is not conflicting to a certain extent, because you have to give up something. Sometimes being cruel and cold-blooded is also a kind of kindness, and unnecessary kindness will only make more people suffer.

While the two were chatting and laughing, the battlefield situation had turned into a one-sided massacre. After wiping out the Kushan cavalry, Lieutenant General Zhou Yu's step-by-step command completely pulled the Kushan army into the abyss.

Soon, this battle was over. The Kushan army was completely wiped out. Those who were not killed surrendered and became prisoners. No one escaped. Originally, a few people did rush out of the valley entrance, but they were placed at the entrance of the valley by Zhou Yu.

All the sentry riders who were guarding the area were slaughtered, and not a single fish slipped through the net.

Even Asafa, the commander-in-chief of the Kushan army, became Zhou Yu's prisoner. This man also demanded to enjoy the welfare benefits of the nobility, waiting for his family to send someone to redeem him. However, Zhou Yu meandered and obtained from his mouth

After getting some information about Guishang, he was killed directly. All the thousands of prisoners who were tied together were also killed.

Zhou Yu then ordered the soldiers to clean the battlefield and remove all traces of their own side. All the corpses of the Han soldiers were cremated on the spot, the ashes were put into the altar to mark, and they left with their armor. The corpses of these Kushan soldiers were also burned.

, leaving no trace.
