"If I say something today, please don't say it out loud, otherwise, if people from Goguryeo know it, it might be very troublesome."

Ye Tan was not angry when he heard Kong Yingda's questioning, but said with a serious look on his face.

Kong Yingda couldn't help but retort, "Who would tell me here? We are all from the Tang Dynasty, how could we do such a thing?"

"Master Kong, but do you remember Zhao Deyan?"

Ye Tan looked at the other party seriously and asked, making him stunned for a moment.

Then he said to Kong Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, you go down and rest."

Kong Xiaoyu usually has a temper, but now, forget it, she doesn't dare, but now she's full, so she bows down and then retreats.

After she left and disappeared, Ye Tan waved his hand and these people surrounded him. When he participated in the training, the person said that people with long mouths in this world have no way to live, so in order to live longer, they can eat, dress, and talk too much, not.

"Damn Zhao Deyan, damn thing, why is this old thing not dead yet?"

Kong Yingda seemed to have given up his reserve and couldn't help but curse.

Who is this person?

He was also a talent at the beginning. Who was his master? Changsun Wuji's father, Changsun Sheng.

This person is not simple. The person who turned the Turks into something in history books was Pei Ju. At the beginning, the main preliminary work was done by this person. You can imagine the ability of this person.

Historical books say that he is smart by nature and is good at literature and history. He is good at riding and shooting, killing two birds with one stone.

The meaning of this sentence is that this person is both civil and military, and he knows the skills of eroticism. Will such a person's disciple be an ordinary person?

When the world was in chaos, this man went to the Turks and gained the trust of some people. However, Jie Li Khan was later arrested and he ran to the depths of the grassland.

Needless to say how many evil things have been done over the years, and what is even more terrifying is this person who is also a civil and military talent. Therefore, what these people do always make people with aspirations want to bite him to death, but there is nothing we can do.

Ye Tan knew that it was meaningless to say this, so he said, "Since you are fighting, then food, weapons, and all kinds of materials are needed, but this is not the most fundamental."

Why did Ye Tan say so?

Because there is a saying that you are not afraid of opponents like gods, but you are afraid of teammates like pigs.

"What is the fundamental?" Li Tai looked at him curiously and asked, is this the case?

Kong Yingda seemed to have slowly woken up from the shock just now, but to be honest, he also thought so, except for food, weapons, generals and soldiers.

Sometimes, the war we understand is different from actually. Do you think it is all based on conspiracy?

That is impossible, most of it is done by strength.

"The strength of Goguryeo."

Ye Tan's words made people even more confused. What does this mean? No matter what, Goguryeo is not a powerful opponent of the Central Plains people. What does this mean?

"Although Goguryeo is poor, thanks to Yang Guang, there are many brave soldiers among their soldiers. Because the local area is poor, the people are strong, there are many mountains and the weather is not good. In some places in our Tang Dynasty, we can walk all year round, but this Goguryeo is not good. If there is no way to attack the other party in winter, it will be troublesome, because when spring comes, the local environment and land will become swamps, and people will be troublesome when they fall into it. No matter how many people you have, it will not be harmed, so we have to deal with this."

"Oh?" Kong Yingda looked at Ye Tan, feeling that he was thinking too much.

"Since they have more soldiers, we need to find a way to reduce this number. How to reduce it? Whether it is a soldier or other people, they need to eat food. Therefore, we need to do a large amount of food business with them. At the same time, the people they need to fight, that is, soldiers. Wherever the soldiers come from, they naturally come from local people. We can also do population business with them. In this way, they will be exhausted in a few years, and many luxury goods from the Tang Dynasty can be sold to each other. In this way, they should like it even more."

Ye Tan didn't say much, but Kong Yingda felt sweaty. Is this kid so cruel?

The reason why Kong Yingda felt this way was because he had a strange phenomenon since he was a child, that is, once he encountered a disaster, someone would sell his children, and the scene was very tragic, and that thing came from a natural disaster, and there was no way to do it. Ye Tan actually planned to execute this in Goguryeo. Don’t think that the morality of people in the past was high, and that our ancestors did not record any of the things that our ancestors did. Because they had done it, they knew that the unlucky things were, so they would let you know the helplessness of this world.

"Ye Hou, is it too cruel to do this?"

The reason why a slave is not a human is that he is a tool himself. People who care about tools are not so concerned about tools, because there are many things that can be seen. Even if it is broken, not many people care about this. And the more terrible thing is another, that is, no matter what weapon or furniture it is, even if it is a stool, how can it be obtained? First, a tree must be cut off, and then, starting to sort it out with a knife or an axe, peel it, and some bad branches can be removed before this thing can be made. Goguryeo is such a forest, and it is the kind that cannot be regenerated continuously.

Thinking about the later generations, I got more than 10 million laborers, and in the end more than 300 million people died. What do you think this is?

"Justice Confucius just said that he felt uncomfortable when he saw people dying in the sea. If he felt like this, he would be unable to withstand it over time?"

Li Tai seemed to have such an idea, so Ye Tan asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Kong Yingda looked at Ye Tan strangely, he didn't know what the relationship was.

"Since our people cannot use it, then use other people's."

Ye Tan's use of outsiders to satisfy his ideas is found in many places in later generations and is very common, but in this era, it seems a bit too much. After all, scholars always think that everyone in the world must abide by it.

"They are people, why are they?"

Kong Yingda looked at Ye Tan with a very ugly expression and asked.

"But they are the people of the enemy country, and they will become soldiers at any time to come and bully our Tang Dynasty. So, what we do is right? Besides, the problem now is that if the people who died of the Tang Dynasty are still the people of Goguryeo, who would you choose if you choose?"

"Of course, the people of Goguryeo, and our people belong to their own."

Li Tai is a royal person, and he considers problems more comprehensively and cruelly. This is reality.

Kong Yingda hesitated for a moment, looked at Ye Tan and asked, "Why should I choose between these two? Is there no other choice?"

He is not a fool, so he naturally knows that this multiple-choice question is a pitfall. No matter which problem it is, it is fatal.

"Master Kong, you said, why did those people on the grassland come to rob us?"

Ye Tan did not directly refute, but asked.

"Of course it's for food, cloth, and salt."

He naturally knew this. They are their favorite things in the Central Plains, so why don’t he know it?

"So, what will happen to the people after the food is stolen?"

If you don’t need to answer this sentence, you will know it, so you will naturally starve to death.

"In fact, this is the choice. If we give these foods to our people, our people will survive, and those who are on the grassland will have to die. If the people on the grassland eat, then our people will starve to death. If the world is just farming, there is a quantity of food. If you eat more, the others should eat less. Master Confucius should understand this principle, right?"

This is naturally understood, and it is a very simple truth, but the truth is the truth, not the conscience. Sometimes, the conscience and the truth are the opposite.

"Does it have to be like this?" Kong Yingda still couldn't accept it, while Ye Tan looked at him and asked, "Master Kong, did you grow up eating the food of the people of the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes." Kong Yingda naturally couldn't say that he was not like this, because everyone is like this.

"Then, I ask again, Master Kong, are your clothes sewn by the people of the Tang Dynasty so that they can be like this? Is your house built by the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty? Did your daily expenses come out when the people farm and work, and then they were recaptured by the court, and then given to you?"

"yes."

Although there are various problems here, I have to say that some things do you think are just simple words to explain them clearly?

"I wonder if Master Confucius had eaten Goguryeo's food? He had received preferential treatment from them? Have he eaten their cattle and sheep, had he worn their clothes, and had he lived in a house they built?"

"No."

Kong Yingda seemed to understand that some things are indeed not that easy.

"One is for people who give themselves food and drink, and for themselves to live in a house, and the other is a robber. Do you think it's hard to choose?" "What are they robbers?"

Li Tai asked curiously, but he still really doesn't know.

"Since the Han Dynasty, it was our land, but they occupied it. Shouldn't we take back our own things? Shouldn't we let the people who gave us food live a better life?"

Ye Tan's words were like a sharp knife, making both of them know what to say. They always felt that something was wrong, but they could not refute it. Yes, if you are not good to your own people, how can people believe that you are a kind person? Although many times, they are really inferior to their own people as to those outside envoys, this matter will be reversed and there will always be some.

"And, Master Kong, the foundation of this matter is not us, but His Majesty. Do you think His Majesty's character will make this matter so easy? And, do you think anyone can convince him?"

Kong Yingda shook his head and said, "That's impossible."

Some people are good at being ordinary friends. Once they become your boss, you will find that at this moment, the relationship changes and your behavior is different from before.

“Getting on fire.”

Ye Tan said almost the same thing. Seeing that the things on the table were a little cold, he said.

Those people came over and started to heat the dishes. During this process, Kong Yingda looked at the burly man from time to time. To be honest, such people are all talents. What about them?

If he is asked to make a choice, he will be in a dilemma. However, people's hearts are full of flesh, and people in their families still have to care about them, otherwise they will not be able to live this life.

Life is like this, dreams are like life, and life is not satisfactory, then everything is in vain.

Soon, Caixiang floated in Kong Yingda's yard again, and then the three of them continued to eat, but the atmosphere felt a bit heavy.

After dinner, Ye Tan and Li Tai naturally would not leave and were arranged to a small room. Although it was not big, it was very clean. They lie there and fell asleep.

After eating, Kong Yingda drank a lot of wine and walked a little erratic, so she came to the study.

Although the home is not big, there is a large study room. There are two reasons for this. One is love for books. This is a common problem among scholars in ancient times. If you break the things in their house, you will pass by with a smile. However, if you do other things, such as stealing the book or breaking it, it may make a couple of friends doom. It is so simple.

The second reason is that most of the books in the past were bamboo slips. In the Tang Dynasty, there were rice paper before, but that thing was really too expensive, and carving and printing were very expensive. Do you think ordinary people have such money? That is impossible. In the first few years of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, a complete engraving version of the Diamond Sutra was carved. Forget the rest, it is not that there are no literati, but that there is not enough money and craftsmen.

Kong Yingda had the habit of reading books at night, so after coming to the study, he lit an oil lamp.

Most of the books in the room were bamboo slips, and the rest were silk and some other things. However, there was a box on the table, which was locked.

He found a key from the bookshelf on one side. After opening the box, there were stacks of books inside, all from Songzhou. This thing was given by Wei Zheng. Ye Tan gave him some, but he was not a stingy person, so he naturally gave it to him.

However, Kong Yingda felt that it was like a treasure and that no one in his family could move around.

He has been familiar with the first book, the Analects of Confucius, for a long time, but he still doesn't know why he always likes to read it.

"Why."
