Chapter 550: A verbal battle with the tycoons
To govern a country, strong troops and good fighting skills are just one thing. If the country's strength is wasted through military force and the country's strength is unsustainable, it will only be a flash in the pan and will not last long.
At the end of the day, these are all people-oriented. We have soldiers who can conquer cities and territories, and we also have craftsmen who can make good weapons for the soldiers. We do business and make money, and we farm, fish, and herd for food. They complement each other."
After speaking, Li Luo glanced at Han Chen and continued calmly, "If not Hua Dou invaded the territory of Dagan, he wouldn't have robbed tens of thousands of craftsmen."
"Fart, I'm in trouble. Who cares about the craftsman or not?" Han Zhang glared at Li Luo coldly and cursed loudly.
Cong Siming's eyes flashed and he shouted loudly: "This is the stargazing party of the Three Islands and Ten Alliances in the East China Sea, and it's not just for your grudges between Hua Dou and Da Gan.
Hanzhang, if you are dissatisfied, there are plenty of opportunities to discuss with King Dingtian."
After saying that, he ignored Hanchen and his son's ferocity in choosing people to devour, and asked loudly, "That's right, there are many island alliances in the East China Sea that only focus on military strength and despise other island alliances, but tell me, what does this have to do with you Da Gan?
"
Li Luo raised his eyebrows and responded calmly: "In addition to trading, the Shangfu opened in the southeast of Dagan also has a school. Anyone who is interested in the East China Sea Islands can learn skills from Dagan teachers and students in the school, and teach machines, arithmetic, etc.
Medicine, water conservancy, farming, fishing and animal husbandry, horoscope divination, translation of chronicles, etc. This is my sincerity in coming to the East China Sea Stargazing Club."
As soon as these words came out, the discussion in the palace suddenly became louder. It was not an uproar, but it was almost the same.
Han Xie's expression was greatly shocked, and he asked in a solemn voice: "Will you really teach us the tribes of the East China Sea these things?"
Li Luo nodded lightly and said nothing.
Cong Siming's expression changed, and he carefully said every word: "This matter is not a trivial matter. King Dingtian, are you the master?"
Li Luo smiled gently and said: "If I can't make the decision, there is no need to come to this East China Sea stargazing party."
The powerful powers in the East China Sea were whispering to each other, and there was a lot of discussion. If Dagan opened a school in the southeastern places and allowed the islanders of the East China Sea to study in the school, it would be a matter of utilitarianism and benefit for generations to come. No wonder Cong Siming was so hesitant.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Luo finished speaking, someone in the palace raised his voice and asked: "Why are you Da Gan so kind? Is there any trap behind you?"
"A ruler is long, an inch is short. Da Gan's skills may not be better than those elsewhere in the world. Using the school as a medium to compete with the various tribes in the East China Sea can also broaden Da Gan's horizons. Resting on one's own laurels is by no means a long-term solution. I agree.
You can see clearly the strengths of others and your own shortcomings, correct them and encourage them. Only in this way can you become a strong country."
"Then if you Da Gan can't learn anything from us in the East China Sea, are we going to close these schools?"
Li Luo smiled slightly and replied harmoniously: "One of the most important weapons of the country is to control. If the monarch and his ministers have control, the upper and lower parts will become Qi. Where the Qi prevails, it can use force to generate momentum, and nothing can be done to stop it."
The speaker was confused, frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"
"It means that even if Dagan doesn't get what he wants from Donghai, Dagan won't care about this little thing." A middle-aged woman on the right said calmly.
This woman has never opened her eyes since Li Luo entered the palace. She is quite different, with a beautiful face, but a bit cold, as if she were a stone statue.
There is also a woman with her head hanging down sitting next to her. She looks very similar to this middle-aged woman, but her appearance is much better. She is calm and quiet. She is completely different from Cong Fu in her dancing, but she is not half inferior to Cong Fu. Chunlan
Qiu Ju, each wins and excels in his field.
Li Luo glanced at the middle-aged woman, regardless of whether she could see it or not, he cupped his fists and saluted, and said softly: "Forgive me for being arrogant, learning is just learning. If Da Gan doesn't have this kind of magnanimity, how can he convince you all?"
Cong Si Ming stood up, his eyes flashed, and said in a deep voice: "Is this all you were taught?"
Li Luo raised his eyes and said in a deep voice: "If you open a school, you will not be taught smelting, art of war, or how to govern the country. The power of the country should not be given lightly to others."
Cong Si Ming looked at Li Luo intently, their eyes facing each other.
After a long time, Cong Siming clasped his fists and saluted, and said harmoniously: "It is as it should be. Come and watch the seat of King Daganding, please."
The attendant in the palace brought out a wooden chair and placed it on the first seat on the right, and asked Li to sit down.
When Han Chen saw that many people in the palace were interested, his thoughts changed quickly and he said calmly: "You guys are so scheming.
The dangerous place for sailing on the sea is far more dangerous than on land. We from the East China Sea tribes have worked hard to sail to your Dagan. The bodies of those who were less lucky have not been left. You can just sit back and enjoy the harvest and wait for us to deliver it to your door. How can it be so cheap?
.”
"Yes, sailing on the sea is indeed dangerous. This time I came with Le Jin, and the natural disasters and dangers I encountered were the only ones I have ever seen in my life.
However, before today, there were trade exchanges between Dagan and Donghai. There were visitors from Dagan from Donghai, and there were also merchants from Dagan from Donghai. There is no difference between the two. You are right to say that Dagan just sits back and enjoys its success. In the future, all commercial complexes opened along the coast of Dagan
, all merchants in the East China Sea can get an extra three points of profit, and it will be a great reward for your hard work."
Han Xie laughed and said: "King Dingtian is quite a cheerful person. If your business travelers from Dagan can come to Ming Town, I may give you three points of profit."
Li Luo thanked him calmly and said softly: "Thank you very much, Alliance Leader Han. If the Dagan merchant traveler comes to the East China Sea, I have nothing to ask for, but there is one thing. Please protect me and the Dagan merchant traveler safely."
"Even if you don't say anything about this, we have to follow the rules of the sea. King Dingtian can rest assured."
Hanzhang said coldly: "What you say is for mutual benefit, not for peace. What you say is nice, aren't you afraid of our navy in the East China Sea? We just snatched these things, why do we have to work so hard?"
"I have no objections to the fact that the Donghai Navy is stronger than Dagan. Everyone knows that the Dagan Navy is weak. But ten or twenty years later, who dares to say that Dagan will not rebuild a navy?
Whether Dagan's trade with Donghai is more beneficial to Dagan or to the various tribes in Donghai, I believe you all have already made up your minds.
Furthermore, even if the East China Sea attacks the coastal prefectures of Dagan, I will not be your opponent in a sea battle, but when it comes to land, it is not because I am arrogant. In the battle of Dongyan Chuyang, I have also learned the methods of Huadou soldiers.
See how clever you are."
"You!?" Han Zhang was furious and wanted to teach Li Luo a lesson.
The middle-aged woman next to Li Luo said coldly: "The tens of thousands of soldiers in Huadou were killed by Dagan soldiers in less than a few months. They abandoned their helmets and armor and fled back to the sea in embarrassment.
They keep saying that they are weak and willing, but there are only these people in the East China Sea, one of them will die, and they can withstand a few twists and turns."
