On the fire, meat was roasting, and a plate of frozen persimmons was placed beside it.
"Before you ask me, let me tell you what you are thinking. Yesterday's suggestion of increasing troops and reducing operations, I have seen it. I don't want to take credit for it and end up with an anticlimax. You know my original intention. I don't care. , if you hurt my sister, don’t blame me for not saying a word in the future!”
Fang Fang grabbed a frozen persimmon and took a big bite.
sweet!
Crisp and sweet frozen persimmons, a specialty fruit in the north, can only be eaten for a few days a year. If you miss it, you will have to wait until next year.
A look of embarrassment flashed past, and Da Sima put away the idea of thinking about Equation. He didn't have much contact with him, but with his old eyes, he could still see what kind of person Equation was.
Without the protection of the empress, this kind of person appears in front of Da Sima. He will give a physics education before talking about anything else. At the moment, he can only complete the path arranged by the equation.
Seeing how Fang Fang was eating the frozen persimmon, the Empress and Xia Abacus also started to nibble, supplementing the food while eating. However, after Fang Fang finished eating, the three of them all noticed that Fang Fang's face was getting weirder.
A strange look fell into his eyes. Coupled with Fang Fang's silent attitude, Da Sima felt a strong urge to take action. "If you have any questions, just say it. Don't stare at me with that look!"
Wiping his mouth, Fang Fang smiled and said, "No need to continue, I already know what you think. People in the Song Dynasty painted cats and tigers after the Song Dynasty. You are painting cats after the Song Dynasty. The fundamentals are wrong. What do you think you learned from your mistakes? Can it be right?”
"What's the meaning?"
"What do you mean?" Fang Fang shrugged, "Don't you just want to understand what economic war is? To see if you can imitate it and make the country stronger?"
Hearing this, the Empress, Xia Abacus, and Da Sima nodded.
When it comes to skills, they want to explain in detail that for many years, as long as there are methods that are beneficial to the development of the Wu Dynasty, Wu Dynasty officials have not learned them.
Unlike other imperial courts in the Five Kingdoms, where officials were organized into factions based on their native land and teachers and students, there was another division within the Wu Dynasty, which was reform.
Thoughts on reform were spread inside and outside the court, and everyone wanted to strengthen the Wu Dynasty through reform.
Ninety-percent of officials of the third rank and above in the court are labeled as reformers, some of whom succeeded and some failed.
Perhaps because of their own participation and understanding of the difficulty of reform, these big guys joined forces to suppress the urge of middle- and lower-level officials to reform, preventing the Wu Dynasty from becoming a monster.
But if middle- and lower-level officials want to rise to power quickly, they still have to pass reforms.
The economic war and import and export traps he mentioned yesterday are novel but analyze the underlying theory of the Song Dynasty's strong economy. They are undoubtedly sweet bait.
No, when Huoliao finished the countermeasures, someone came to him?
Da Sima asked, "Is there any problem with this?"
"The problem is huge. The Wu Dynasty wanted to strengthen the country, but the Song people also wanted to strengthen the army and rejuvenate the country? But can the Song people become stronger? Do you know that he doesn't have the ability? "
"A glass of wine has solved the military power, and the roots have become crooked. Several generations of monarchs and prime ministers have changed in one dynasty. Has he changed his mind? Can he fight this group now? What the hell is the Hunan Army in the Song Dynasty? Zhao Ji and others I don’t have that ability! If I had the ability, the people of Song Dynasty would put their minds on the economy?”
"If I were capable, I wouldn't have the time to conspire with others. Wouldn't it be better to beat them to death with one punch?"
"Any fool can see that the Song people are plotting, and the essence is to protect themselves. The occupation of Bingzhou in the coming year is fake, but it is really for Hexi. The Song people are also afraid that after the Wu Dynasty rests, they will backhand and give him a big fight! "
When outsiders are not around, he can directly criticize the Wu Dynasty. When outsiders are around, he can only criticize the Song people. But the principle is the same. It is difficult for the Song people to strengthen their army, and it is also difficult for the military people to strengthen their national power by relying on just a few theories.
"How difficult is it?" The empress frowned slightly.
After a night of thinking, the empress felt more and more that Fang Fang's tools could strengthen the Wu Dynasty. She was still preparing to force the Song people to fight, but at that moment she was slapped in the face by Fang Fang's words.
"Sister, the truth cannot be eaten. To make a family prosperous, we must work together, think in one place, and exert our efforts in one place. To make a country strong, we must cultivate internal strength. If the strength is insufficient, and we try to take shortcuts, everything will end up being nothing. Castles in the air!”
"People in the Song Dynasty chose shortcuts to prevent their generals from becoming bigger. But the same question is how the three ancestors, Wuzu, Chengzong, and Yuanzong, did it. Have you forgotten?"
Wu Zu, the founding emperor of the Wu Dynasty, conquered the territories of Jizhou and Qingzhou, laying the foundation for a strong country in the north of the Wu Dynasty.
Cheng Zong, conquered six states and conquered the grassland three times, and won nine out of nine battles. This was the existence that gave the military spirit of the Wu Dynasty.
Yuan Zong, who mastered the art of balancing military and political affairs, established internal rules and annexed states externally, leaving behind a century-old disaster of merging states, but he also brought rules to the Wu Dynasty.
These three people have never taken shortcuts in military affairs. If it were not for the inherent shortcomings of the Northern Territory and the winter break that lasts for four to five months every year, the Wu Dynasty today would not only be a great power in the Northern Territory, but an absolute leader in Kyushu. overlord.
After pondering for a moment, the empress asked unwillingly, "Is there no chance at all?"
In recent years, financial problems have become more and more serious, and it has long lost the attitude of swallowing up Kyushu a hundred years ago. If no changes are made, the once fierce tiger will be dragged into a sick tiger, or even a dead tiger.
The people of Song Dynasty dared to attack the warriors because the comprehensive national strength of the Wu Dynasty had declined year after year.
Not to mention too much, do you think the Song people dared to face the Wu Dynasty army that was always at full pay more than ten years ago?
"Of course there is a chance!"
Fang Fang smiled and said, "It's okay to take shortcuts once or twice, as long as you don't think of the Song Dynasty people and form path dependence. The two plans launched by the DPRK and China are the best in the short term, but there will be disaster in the long term!"
Da Sima was too lazy to think about it himself and asked directly, "Where is the trouble?"
"The human heart is greedy, and different times have different thoughts!"
"In order to survive, Qingzhou chose to cut off his flesh this time, but after surviving this disaster, what will Qingzhou think?"
"With the army, money is not only wealth, but also corrosive to people's hearts. The army should be pure, and the soldiers are unmotivated. It is natural for soldiers to eat food. Whose food is used as soldiers, and generals smuggle money and food. This is just a sidestep. If this matter is not investigated, it will be ignored because of short-term gains. Will the Qingzhou border army still be the army of the Wu Dynasty in the long run? "
"With officials, friendship and hatred for rice. Twenty or thirty years later, when the older generation dies and their respect and gratitude are gone, the Qingzhou gentry will only see their wealth being plundered by others. The long-term grievances accumulated in the past will eventually lead to a thunderstorm. one day!"
"At that time, officials, soldiers, and wealth will be integrated into Qingzhou. I dare to ask how the court will solve it then?"
Snapped!
The fruit plate fell to the ground, the porcelain plate was broken, and the persimmons rolled. The three of them were stunned.
The issue of the Bingzhou separatist regime had just been resolved four years ago. None of the three people present knew how much it had cost. They thought that this would solve the problem of the Qingzhou border army, but they did not expect that a hungry wolf would be released as a result.
Solving the problem of merging the provinces has already depleted the efforts of nine cows and two tigers. Twenty or thirty years later, the older generation is gone and there will be another round of disaster in Qingzhou. Will the court still be able to win?
No one knows the answer to this.
We can't expect that future generations of officials will have the courage and luck of this dynasty?
Even if there were, if the other five countries missed an opportunity to split the Wu Dynasty, could they still be unprepared if history repeated itself?
Qingzhou is not a Bingzhou, it is the border between Wu, Song and Ming. If something goes wrong, all three Koreas might have a hand in it!
