It is obviously a very simple strategy, but why do the ministers and ministers above the court formulate such a complicated and multi-way attack plan?
Are it the big shots in the court and the famous generals who know less about military affairs than Fang Jun?
This is impossible...
When the Tang Dynasty was founded, the famous generals in the court were all fought in battles, and the titles were accumulated based on victory after victory. Although they all had their own plans and camps, none of them was wasted.
A person with no reputation!
So many big guys can't compare to one Fang Jun?
If it is said that no one in the world is better than Fang Jun in the art of amassing money, Li Chengqian believes it; but if it is said that the art of marching and forming formations is not comparable to that of Fang Jun, even if Li Chengqian is killed, he will not believe it.
The answer is obvious. As Fang Jun said just now, this is a national war, and it is also a gluttonous feast for grabbing merits. Every force, every camp, and every general must get a share of merits in it.
, whoever dares to obstruct them will be the enemy of the whole world!
Cutting off someone's money is like killing one's parents, and cutting off someone's merits is even worse than killing one's parents!
Under such circumstances, even though His Majesty Li Er knew that such a strategy would seriously delay progress, he still had to compromise to take into account the distribution of interests in all aspects.
And I actually thought about letting Fang Jun take the first merit in order to achieve the goal of promotion and promotion. It was simply too naive...
Li Chengqian was a little annoyed and said dejectedly: "Are you really not qualified to be a prince?"
This is something Fang Jun himself can see clearly. Otherwise, if he goes to attack as he said, he will be the target of public criticism. His father will not defend him. The ministers will attack in groups regardless of their factions. Even Fang Jun will probably be the only one in the end.
Can die sadly.
This shocked him deeply, and he couldn't help but wonder, if the King of Wei or Wu were in his position, would he still make such an almost stupid move?
The answer is unfortunately no...
Fang Jun didn't think there was any problem, and he didn't think that Li Chengqian had no political talent because of this: "Why did your highness say this? No one is born to know everything. The ministers' positions are different, and they naturally look at the problem from different angles.
, it is normal for Your Highness to fail to see through the relationship. Furthermore, no one in the world can do everything well by himself. As a superior, you don’t have to do everything yourself, you only need to be able to guide your ministers.
, who is able to accept advice with an open mind is a qualified emperor. The superior governs people, and His Highness only needs to identify the talents of his ministers and place them in the most suitable positions, and then he can rule with dignity and peace of mind."
No one is omnipotent. An emperor is in charge of such a huge empire and has to take into account all aspects, including politics, military, and economy. How can he know everything and make correct instructions for everything?
Zhuge Liang had to do everything personally, and in the end he died from exhaustion five feet away. Wouldn't the Kingdom of Shu still dissipate and perish?
Only when people make full use of their talents and materials are put to good use can they be a qualified emperor.
Li Chengqian knelt down and sat up, saying solemnly: "I would like to be taught!"
This is the art of the emperor. Although the teachers in the East Palace are very knowledgeable and have taught this way of being a king, they are by no means as straightforward and simple as Fang Jun. Instead, they have to quote the scriptures from four parallel to the sixth, and the answers they give are also ambiguous.
, specious.
As for whether you can learn true skills from it, it depends on your own understanding. Even if what you understand is right or wrong, you will not be given a simple and definite answer...
It is not teachers who hide their knowledge. In fact, all emperor teachers have been like this since ancient times. They will never teach the emperor or prince "what you should do" step by step. This is the wisdom of survival.
Otherwise, the slightest mistake will become the responsibility of the Imperial Master.
Who dares to take such responsibility?
Only people like Fang Jun, who have insights beyond the times and do not have a deep understanding of the taboos of ancient officialdom, can speak such words without restraint. Otherwise, it will be considered as instigating the prince to be "passive and lazy".
The reputation of "politics" and "treacherous sycophant" was immediately confirmed, and I will definitely not be able to live with it...
However, Li Chengqian was very happy with this. He was originally a bit cowardly and not courageous enough. It was really difficult for him to figure out an answer that he didn't know was right or wrong from other people's words and then implement it unswervingly.
The snow falling outside the window is getting heavier and heavier, and the snowflakes are flying in the air. The entire Lishan Mountain is shrouded in snow powder, and it is completely empty, like a fairyland outside the world.
This house is located on a piece of earth, on a slightly higher ground. Standing in front of the window, you can overlook the rows of greenhouses stretching down the hillside in an orderly manner, occupying the sunny side of the hillside. The snow is falling heavily at the moment, and countless
The soldiers shouted slogans and walked in neat steps on the paths between the greenhouses, supporting the two fires guarding each greenhouse. From time to time, someone climbed up and down with a broom to clear the snow.
It's just that the momentum of learning is quite strong, and often before the front is finished sweeping, the back is already covered with snow, so we have to keep going back and forth, lest there be too much snow and collapse the greenhouse.
There were even women and children in the village carrying kettles filled with hot water, shuttling between the greenhouses, delivering boiling water to the soldiers to help them get rid of the cold.
…
Li Chengqian stood in front of the window, looking at such a lively scene, and couldn't help but ask: "Can these seeds really solve the hunger of the people of the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop, as Erlang said, and they will no longer have to worry about fullness?
"
Fang Jun stood beside him, shook his head and said: "How is it possible? People in the world cannot have enough to eat, not only because of the lack of arable land and low food output, but also because of the improvement of production tools, the popularization of rational farming, the application of fertilizers, especially
Whether the officials are honest or not is related to the people of the world. However, once a few high-yielding crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes are successfully cultivated and spread to every corner of the Tang Dynasty within three to five years, then it will be improved on the original basis.
It is entirely possible to double or double the output."
Seeing Fang Jun's serious look, Li Chengqian said with emotion: "Is this really true?"
What else could Fang Jun say?
I can only nod in affirmation.
He was very helpless, and his words were almost worn out. As a result, these people still remained skeptical about how high-yielding crops could be, and could not believe the numbers he told.
Haha, poverty limits your imagination...
"Your Majesty thought that Wei Chen was having a bad temper, so he abandoned the errands of the Ministry of War and went to hide in Lishan Mountain to express his protest. In fact, this is not the case. Wei Chen is really worried that these seeds that he has worked so hard to obtain will be used by the Secretary.
Those bureaucrats in Nong Temple have caused trouble. It is not easy to go to the New World. Even if we now have the sea map, the danger of crossing the ocean is too great, and sending another fleet may not be able to reach it. Therefore, Wei Chen only
Stay in Lishan Mountain and cultivate these seeds with your own hands. Your Highness, we are all a lucky generation. When we ascend to the throne in the future, high-yielding crops will have already spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. As long as the officials are purged, there will no longer be the worry of famine in the world, even if disasters are rampant.
In the coming years, the people will be able to have enough food and clothing, and the rule of ancient legends will definitely be repeated under your rule! In the history of history, your majesty has certainly established the title of the emperor through the ages, but you, your highness, are not a generation of heroes who have inherited the past and ushered in the future.
Let future generations remember and praise it?"
One emperor through the ages?
Li Chengqian never thought that it was not that he had no enterprising spirit, but that he worshiped his father too much and thought that he could never surpass his father's achievements, not to mention that his father now had a mountain standing across the sky.
Qin Shihuang in front of him?
He knows his own family affairs, and as long as he can be a stable and upright king, that will be enough.
However, now, Fang Jun actually said that he could become "the hero of a generation that will carry forward the past and open up the future"... This made Li Chengqian's face flush with emotion, but he really didn't have much confidence. He asked in a trembling voice: "Is this really true?"
Fang Jun chuckled and said proudly: "What's so difficult about this? The Tang Dynasty's grain warehouses will be full of grain. In the next twenty years, the Tang Dynasty's strategic focus will gradually shift southward. After all, the development of Guanzhong has already begun.
It has reached the extreme, but in the south, there is still a lot of fertile land that needs to be developed. Just say that the eight hundred miles of Dongting Lake with fertile water and grass, with just a little development, millions of acres of land can be obtained. That place has abundant water resources and a climate
If appropriate, grain output will surely surpass Guanzhong and become the largest granary in the Tang Dynasty! Aren’t those Jiangnan aristocratic families who are now relying on the natural geographical advantages of the land of fish and rice in Jiangnan? By then, half of Jiangnan’s wealth will come from Dongting and Hunan.
The Lianghu area in Dongting Hubei has produced a steady stream of food. Do you think the Jiangnan gentry still dare to treat the imperial laws as if they are nothing like they do now?"
