In the next period of time, Qi Xuansu will work hard to finish the matters at hand and prepare for "retreat".
Qi Xuansu's main task is still the word "money".
As Chen Shuwen said, Daomen and Daxuan are actually in a rising expansion stage, and should not have experienced a financial deficit in this downward stage. The key is that Daomen launched two large-scale wars in succession due to internal struggles, resulting in a short period of financial deficit.
Tight, similar to the backlash caused by Master Landa using the "Taiyi Technique" four times in a short period of time, it is not that Master Landa's cultivation level is insufficient, but that it is used too hastily. If used separately, it will never be like this.
.
There is no need to say much about the Fenglinzhou War. Qi Xuansu experienced it personally and knows it in detail.
As for the war in the Western Regions, Qi Xuansu had caught up to the end. When he joined Tiangangtang, it was already at the end. One of the divisions of Tiangangtang was completely lost in this war and merged into other divisions. Only then did Zhang Yuelu regroup.
Koji.
This war was even more tragic than the Fenglinzhou war, because in the Fenglinzhou battlefield, the Daomen had a huge army of servants of Prime Minister Toyotomi, while in the Western Region battlefield, the Daomen died in person.
The cause of this war was the Taoist policy towards the grassland countries.
During the Qi Dynasty of the Li family, the country's national power reached its peak, and its emperor was known as the Khan of Heaven. The territory was vast, including the Western Regions and grasslands in addition to the Central Plains. After the Da Qi Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty was weak, with cities and lands abandoned, leaving only the core ten
Kyushu.
At the end of the Jin Dynasty, the Golden Horde Khanate went south and the Jin Dynasty was destroyed. The Golden Horde Khanate took over the Central Plains and established a short-lived rule. At this time, the Golden Horde Khanate reached its peak. The grasslands, the Western Regions, the Rakshasa Kingdom, and the Central Plains were all in
Under his control, his troops pointed directly at the Western Continent and launched an expedition to Fenglin Continent.
Later, the Wei Dynasty overthrew the rule of the Golden Horde and forced it to withdraw from the Central Plains. However, the Golden Horde Khanate still retained the Western Regions and grasslands. When Daxuan replaced the Wei Dynasty, it gradually recovered most of the Western Regions and part of the grasslands during the Daqi period.
This is the origin of the West Court Protectorate and the Beiting Protectorate.
At this time, the Rakshasa Kingdom also broke away from the control of the Golden Horde.
Although a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, the Golden Horde is still huge and occupies a vast grassland. However, the Golden Horde has been completely divided and turned into dozens of tribes, some of which still worship shamanism, and some have converted to Buddhism.
.
Between the Taoist Gate in the East and the Holy Court in the West, there is Shamanism as a buffer, which is also one of the five religions of the "Heavenly Court".
Therefore, the situation in Xiting and Beiting is very complicated. The Taoist sect has continued the policies of Daqi. Of course, this is due to the Li family. The Li family has always claimed to be the descendants of Daqi. There is a clear line from Mr. Li to the Li family.
, so the alignment system is highly respected.
However, the Da Qi system does have merits. Li Qi at that time was at the top of the world, with the most advanced productivity, culture, the most powerful army, and the vastest territory. This was the later Jin Dynasty, and the likes of the Wei Dynasty could not compare.
, its system is also similar to the Confucian system
The following dynasties have essential differences and differences
Nowadays, the target of Dao Sect should be Da Qi, rather than the traditional Wei Dynasty.
Throughout the history of the grassland tribes during the Daqi period, one small tribe after another that had never been heard of, with the support of Daqi, became a large tribe that dominated the grassland, and then threatened Daqi, and was eventually led by Daqi to other tribes.
After being destroyed, their status was replaced by new tribes that followed Da Qi, and the cycle continued until Da Qi weakened.
Some people say that no matter how prosperous the country is, the common people are still "suffering". This statement is not correct when Daqi is at its most powerful. Because during the Daqi period, every war was an external plunder, similar to
Today's Westerners not only own property such as cattle, sheep, gold and silver, but also people are directly sold into slavery. That's why there are so many Kunlun slaves and Hu Ji in Daqi's poems. A large number of slaves have replaced civilians. In horizontal comparison, in
Before Da Qi prospered and then declined and fell into war, Da Qi was not necessarily the fairest, but the life of ordinary people must be better than that of other dynasties and generations.
Driven by huge interests, Da Qi was not afraid of war, maintained a huge territory, and even used war to support war.
But the situation in Daomen is different from that in Daqi. Daomen has begun to talk about civilization and can no longer openly plunder, let alone sell prisoners into slavery. This has caused the cost of war to rise sharply.
There is no essential difference between this war in the Western Regions and the several wars of annihilation in Daqi. Although the authority of the Taoist sect was maintained and the separatist forces were greatly frightened, the follow-up treatment of the Taoist sect was too civilized. Not only did it not gain anything, but it paid a lot of money.
incurred huge costs.
This is where the problem lies.
What Qi Xuansu has to do is to make up for the shortfall.
There is such a thing as a deficit, there is a first time, there is a second time, and the prosperity and decline can happen in the blink of an eye.
There are five specific ways to solve the deficit.
The first way is to make breakthroughs in productivity and make the pie bigger.
The second method is large-scale external financial input and open source.
The third method is to engage in war and plunder, the Daqi mode.
The fourth method is to reform internally and let vested interests cut off their wealth and reduce expenditures.
The fifth method is to exploit and plunder the civilian class.
The difficulty of the five methods is from difficult to easy.
The first method is the achievements of Taoism over the past two hundred years. Starting from Xuan Sheng, four generations of great masters have worked tirelessly to make the transition from Da Wei to Da Xuan from farming mainly to industry and trade, making the pie bigger and able to
Feeding everyone benefits from top to bottom.
But it's hard to find, it requires the right time, place and people
He, it is easy to fail. If the Taoist sect failed to defeat the Confucian sect, or was benefited by the Buddhist fisherman, there would be no breakthrough today.
The second method, which is Qi Xuansu's current method, was that a large-scale war suddenly broke out in the three Western countries, so he made a lot of money from the war. However, the disadvantage is that it is difficult to last and difficult to copy.
The third method is difficult to implement because the Taoist sect prides itself on being civilized and requires a famous teacher.
The fourth method, this is Zhang Yuelu's idea, is to redistribute interests. Since the pie cannot be made bigger in a short period of time, then change the way of dividing the pie. However, there is a premise: the class has not been completely solidified.
, and still retain channels for class advancement. ??
Therefore, Zhang Yuelu is a moderate reformist, while Li Changge advocates the third method, which is to follow the Daqi model, which is not moderate. Whether it is moderate or not depends on comparison.
The last method is the easiest and the most unpromising. To put it bluntly, you are in trouble. You can't deal with outsiders, but you are reluctant to cut your own flesh, so you can only bully the people? Almost all dynasties will use this method, and they will eventually die.
Method.
As for Qi Xuansu, of course he wants to use the first method, hello, me, everyone, but the first way is the most difficult.
The reason why Xuansheng was able to do it was really the result of the right time, place and people. The world was unified. Xuansheng's authority was able to forcefully promote this matter. Moreover, Xu Zu had laid the foundation and strengthened exchanges with the West, learning from
The new technology in the West has finally achieved the perfect integration of divine passage method and mechanism technology. Today, this road is almost coming to an end. The key is that the end of the law is coming, and we cannot continue on this road. We must
Find new paths.
If he becomes a great leader, how should he find a way out? How can he break through the existing technical capabilities?
Looking back now, the creation project is really Xuansheng's biggest and most far-sighted work.
Of course, some people have said that we don’t have to be limited to a certain path. We can make some technological breakthroughs, introduce some external input, plunder a little, reform a little more, and squeeze a little more. All in all, this problem can be alleviated.
This involves a problem. These methods are actually conflicting with each other. We cannot wage war externally and reform internally at the same time. This is equivalent to fighting on two fronts and will lead to a complete collapse.
Back then, Xuansheng decided to start a full-scale war with Buddhism, immediately stopped all actions to integrate the three ways, and stopped liquidating and suppressing Confucianism. This is the reason. Therefore, Zhang Yuelu and Li Changge are naturally hostile and incompatible. Either Zhang Yuelu will be out, or Li Changge will be out.
, there is no situation where two people coexist and join forces.
There is also external financial input. In addition to making a lot of war profits, it usually needs to sell some things. It is better to buy than to build, and it is better to rent than to buy. This is contradictory to the first point. People are always short-sighted, so just take
Nowadays, selling weapons is like making money while lying down. Who is willing to develop new things? That's enough!
After Qi Xuansu came back from the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, he began to think about this issue. If he was just a real person in charge, then it wouldn't be a big problem if he emphasized martial arts over Taoism. But if he was to be a great leader, then he had to consider it.
Yes. You must have your own ideas and use a straightforward and concise slogan to explain your ideas.
For example, Zhang Yuelu's slogan, "Change Taoism," has been shouted for several years and is widely known. Or the slogan proposed by Li Changge in the past two years, using the sword of Taoism to win more for Taoism. Or Yao Pei's construction of a harmonious Taoism.
Qi Xuansu hasn't figured out his slogan yet.
Make Daomen great again?
To this day, in the absence of Qi Xuansu formally proposing a policy program, concepts and slogans, many people have expressed confusion and doubts on different occasions, and even attracted criticism from the top.
This also made Qi Xuansu very distressed.
There are five methods in total. The last method is to suffer the common people. For the Taoist leaders, if they dare to do it but dare not say it, whoever says it will die. Among the first four methods, Zhang Yuelu took the fourth one and Li Changge took the third one.
Yao Pei took the first one, which is in line with Quanzhen Tao’s positioning of focusing on creation.
It seems that Qi Xuansu can only start with the second method. He is also walking on this road now, but this road is more difficult than the first method. If he is not careful, he will become a traitor and will be infamy for thousands of years.
However, Qi Xuansu also has some ideas. Chen Shuwen once said that going to sea to seek cheap resources and then expand. The basis for Daomen's first expansion was Nanyang. Cheap resources are actually a kind of external input. Today, Nanyang continues to develop and is no longer cheap.
, even become part of the Taoist sect, and need to be treated equally.
So can we seek a second Nanyang? Once again, we can rely on technological advantages and rely on massive cheap resources to develop rapidly.
As for where the second Nanyang is, Qi Xuansu thinks it is the New World.
Daomen will not turn the New World into its own territory, but can help the indigenous people of the New World develop. However, this help is not free and needs to be exchanged with resources.
To achieve this, we must first help the indigenous people of the New World defeat the invaders from the West.
Now it seems that Daomen has already seen this through its early layout of the New World through West Daomen.
The key is still the differences after defeating the Western Holy Court. If it is Li Changge's path, he will completely occupy the New World, relegate the indigenous people to inferior people, and suffer the hardships of outsiders. The advantage is that it is easier for his own family, but the upper class eats the bulk.
, the ordinary people at the bottom will follow and drink the soup. If it is Qi Xuansu's path, it will be more gentle. Both parties are equal, develop together, and exchange resources.
