Jiang Chi also wanted to continue his deception, and maybe he could deceive His Majesty Li Er to death.
Only when Li Er was lame could he carry out the next plan.
tunnel.
Jiang Chi added: "Ruling a big country is like cooking a small one. Although I don't know how to manage people in power, I do know that in order for a country to become rich and strong, and to make the country rich and the people strong, it requires many things.
It just so happens that these years of overseas experience have given me some insights. If your Majesty finds it useful, you can listen to it."
Li Er naturally couldn't ask for it.
He was just thinking about how to get Jiang Chi to speak, when Jiang Chi came.
then.
Li Er smiled expectantly and said, "Sir, please tell me, but I will check whether it is right or wrong one by one, and pick the best to fill in the gaps."
As long as it is beneficial to the family and the country, he will adopt it.
"Um."
Jiang Que nodded with satisfaction. Li Er was a wise man and would definitely not miss such an opportunity.
It was by grasping this mentality that Jiang Chi knew he had room for performance.
Only then can we be fooled...
No.
It is the understanding that is moved by emotion and reason.
His Majesty Li Er must feel that every sentence is a classic saying about governing the country.
He will certainly be treated politely.
Jiang Chi had already thought about it and boasted about various common strategies. In this ancient Tang Dynasty where productivity was extremely backward, Li Er would definitely be fooled.
After sorting out his thoughts, Jiang Que said eloquently: "To make a country strong, it is nothing more than having money and soldiers.
The military force of the Tang Dynasty is indeed good under His Majesty's governance, but this is not enough. It should become stronger.
In addition, the people need to be wealthy, so that a country can have money, tax revenue, and then be able to do more things.
However, your Majesty understands these ideals that making a country rich and its people strong cannot be changed overnight.
These strategies can be summed up in two words: make money..."
After hearing Jiang Chi's words, His Majesty Li Er always felt strange and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, making money is what traders do. Besides, I am an emperor. If I am a businessman, wouldn't I be competing for profits with the people?
Moreover, since ancient times, people have been mainly engaged in farming, which is the root of the problem and the cornerstone of the country."
Li Er didn't understand what Jiang Chi said, what was the good of competing with the people for profit.
He didn't see it.
Jiang Que's head was full of black lines, and he couldn't help but sneered: "I thought that His Majesty was the only emperor in the ages, a wise king, but I didn't expect that he would be so limited.
If there were no businessmen in the world, how would this country function?
Where does money and food come from?
Do you rely on your Majesty to transport it yourself, or do you rely on your troops who are going to battle to kill the enemy?
It is true that farming by the common people is the foundation, but how much do you think a country’s tax revenue can be based entirely on the contributions of farmers?
Since ancient times, we have still practiced slash-and-burn farming. Why doesn't Your Majesty let the people try the model thousands of years ago?
Whether a model is good or bad requires continuous practice and continuous improvement. Advancing with the times is the foundation of a country's progress.
Now, Your Majesty, you are willing to stick to the old ways. Decades later, or even hundreds of years later, your descendants will also stick to the old ways. Do you think this country is standing still or moving forward?"
Li Er: "..."
If he were an ordinary minister, how would he dare to talk to Li Er like this?
In other words, Jiang Chi's few words were enough to scold the eternal emperor without any rebuttal.
He opened his mouth to argue, to explain a word or two, but he had nothing to say.
What Jiang Chi proposed was too fresh, too incredible, and even more subversive.
Li Er found it hard to accept it for a while.
But then, Jiang Chi said again: "I know your Majesty may not believe it, but this is the truth.
To vigorously develop commerce, Your Majesty can take advantage of the opportunity to collect commercial taxes. You can study in detail how to collect them.
It will be feasible to implement it vigorously and rely on the troops in hand as a guarantee. When the trade and tax revenue comes up, the national treasury will be full. By then, whether it is foreign expeditions or grain reserves, it will be beneficial to the country.
As for obstacles, there will definitely be obstacles, but if Your Majesty thinks about it from another angle, as long as business and taxation are good, if one year's tax revenue is comparable to the Tang Dynasty's current tax revenue, I wonder what you would think, Your Majesty?
If Your Majesty is more benevolent and exempts or lowers the taxes of ordinary farming people, this will truly be a way of not competing with the people for profit.
If commerce is developed enough, and one person can support his family for several years by engaging in commercial activities for one year, does Your Majesty think land is still important?
As for food, when I traveled around the world with Master, I discovered rice that could be harvested twice a year or even three times a year in small countries in the south, as well as upland rice, as well as the drought-resistant and high-yielding crops mentioned before.
If your Majesty introduces these, it will be enough to ensure that the Tang Dynasty will not be short of food.
In addition, we can also allow the small countries in the south that surrendered to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute with grain, conduct trade with merchants, and open border markets. Naturally, there will be no shortage of grain, and we can also obtain a new batch of taxes-tariffs..."
As Jiang Chi's explanation continued, it seemed as if a new door had been opened for His Majesty Li Er.
This was a field that he had never understood before, so he was naturally stunned by Jiang Chi's explanation of the country's major policy.
That's right.
Even Li Er has to admit that only when a country has money can he do more things.
He even conquered the Turks himself.
The Weishui Alliance made his Majesty Li Er lose face. If he had money and food, he would not have suffered for so many years.
Think about this.
Li Er then asked: "Master, can these strategies you mentioned be actually implemented?"
"Can I not have the final say?"
Jiang Chi said: "The world belongs to all people, but in the final analysis it belongs to you, Your Majesty. You have the final say on how to govern it. Whether the new policy can be implemented actually depends on whether you insist on it or not.
I only propose strategies, and besides, I am only an outsider monk and will not participate in it.
It is up to Your Majesty to decide whether to implement it or not. This will also test your courage.
In addition, if Your Majesty feels that it is difficult to implement it on a large scale, you can implement it on a pilot basis first, and if the effect is good, it can be implemented nationwide."
"That's okay." Li Er nodded and agreed: "You don't know anything about real people. Although the Tang Dynasty is peaceful now, the five surnames and seven hopes actually control the people. It may be more difficult to implement, and the reform is even more difficult.
"
Li Er also felt bitter about this.
Although he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and ruled the world, the reality was quite cruel.
He has no real control and is depressed. If possible, maybe...
Jiang Chi shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter. If your Majesty really wants to implement the strategies I just mentioned, I will naturally help you with your plans and I will never let you down."
"Um?"
Li Er's face became happy when he heard this, but he quickly said: "Master, are you really willing to help me?"
If so that would be great.
He was overjoyed and continued: "The world has been in chaos for a long time, and there is a gap in the heart of the real person. Why not stay and help me? I will definitely give the real person a good treatment..."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Que shook his head and sighed, "Haha, Your Majesty is kind-hearted, but I am a monk from outside the country, and I have no interest in joining the court as an official, nor do I plan to become an official.
The worldly world is like passing smoke to me, so it is of no other use. If your Majesty wants to appoint people as officials or nobles, you might as well forget about it."
"..."
Li Er was slightly stunned and said in surprise: "A real person, whether he is an official or a nobleman, he is actually making contributions to the Tang Dynasty.
I will never treat you badly..."
Before His Majesty Li Er could finish speaking, Jiang Que explained: "I'm sorry, those who don't contribute are of no use to me. I'm telling you this just for the sake of Your Majesty being the True Dragon Emperor, otherwise.
Wouldn't it be better if I go out to travel and practice?"
He is a cultivator of immortals, so how can a dispute in the court be suitable for him?
It is impossible to be an official, and I will never be an official in this life.
His title has nothing to do with him.
certainly.
Pardoning the Imperial Master is different.
But this kind of thing cannot be said directly, otherwise Li Erbao will suspect that he has ulterior motives.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chi continued to speak: "Haha, your Majesty, don't worry too much. Although it is impossible for me to become an official in the court, if your Majesty needs my help, I will still do it."
Although Jiang Chi didn't agree, Li Er still nodded when he heard the promise, "In that case, I'll thank you in advance."
Li Er yearned for the future life, and he was looking forward to the strategies Jiang Que mentioned.
The mood is settled.
Immediately.
His Majesty Li Er said again: "Master, the national policies you just mentioned are all good, and if they can be implemented, they are indeed good.
But it’s very difficult to implement it specifically…”
He was helpless.
Li Er's mood became complicated.
Jiang Chi comforted him and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. In fact, everyone is afraid of death, and your Majesty has countless soldiers. If anyone dares to stop him, he will be killed without mercy. If he kills that person's head, no one dares to offend him."
, disobey?”
He Jiang believed in one word: kill.
Just kill them all.
Depending on how you resist, holding a blade is no joke.
Li Er: "..."
Jiang Chi's words stunned him, and he couldn't help but say: "I'm afraid the real person thinks too simply. You can kill to conquer the world, but you can't kill to govern the world."
Forehead.
Jiang Que secretly held his forehead and said: "If you block the road, you are an enemy. I admire you for being so magnanimous towards your enemies."
Li Er: "This..."
He sighed quietly, he was really unable to refute Jiang Chi's words.
Indeed it is.
He was filled with sadness. He should be more ruthless towards his enemies and not be tolerant.
But……
It's different now.
The world is already at peace and there is no need for him to kill.
Li Er was also worried about this. Can killing really suppress everything?
Jiang Chi continued: "Killing to stop killing is of course possible, but it cannot be done simply because the killing is not done right or well.
Killing is actually an art. If your Majesty uses it well, there won't be so many disasters in the world.
Moreover, it cannot be said that ordinary people are very grateful to you, Your Majesty.
Killing is only for enemies.
For ordinary people, there is no need to kill them."
"..."
Jiang Chi's words were like words of wisdom, which made His Majesty Li Er feel uneasy.
This seems to be the case.
"Did I go astray before and think wrongly?"
Li Er frowned secretly when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Could it be that I really thought wrong?"
Maybe it's possible.
He suddenly felt helpless and helpless, "Looking at it this way, it might be feasible to ask Master Jiang to stay and help me..."
Since he doesn't like being an official, and since he doesn't like titles, I don't know what Jiang Zhenren wants here.
He looked forward to it.
It's just that Li Er is a little confused about Jiang Que's thoughts now.
then.
He said quietly: "Master, I wonder if you have other ideas when you return from overseas?"
What is the purpose?
He suddenly became curious, "If the real person doesn't dislike it, I will definitely help the real person, and I will never let the real person down."
"oh?"
Jiang Chi suddenly felt his eyes light up, "Does Your Majesty really think so?"
