"Ah? This..." Li Qing hesitated, and after a while, he explained: "I read all these in Taizong's Records. Didn't I review the Zhongzong's Records in the Hanlin Academy before? I was bored, so I read Tai Zong's Records. Ancestor, Taizong..."
Li Qing applied all the patches in one go, preventing similar embarrassment.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Jianshen said, "I have also read Taizong's actual records, and it does not record what you said."
"You missed it."
"No!" Zhu Jianshen said firmly, "I have read the entire Taizong Record."
You really love learning... Li Qing gritted his teeth and cursed, smiling: "Maybe I remembered it wrong. It seems that Yu Qian said it."
All Yu Qian's people have returned to their hometown, and Li Qing doesn't believe that he can drag Yu Qian back for verification.
Zhu Jianshen was indeed not that boring. He did not doubt Li Qing's identity, but he suspected that Li Qing was lying to him.
"Which small country does the adventurer Mr. Sir talk about come from, and what is his name?"
Li Qing thought for a moment and said, "Fo Langji!"
"really?"
"Why did I lie to you?" Li Qing rolled his eyes and said: "Actually, there are many things that are not recorded in the actual records, or there are discrepancies in the records;
Of course, this is what Yu Qian told me! "
Everything can be done with Yu Qian, and Yu Qian is not in the capital anyway.
Zhu Jianshen became interested, "What about?"
"For example, Taizong raised the prestige of his country to all nations!" Li Qing said, "Actually, to put it bluntly, he just went for business. Taizong's great achievements could not be achieved without the support of huge financial resources, no matter how talented he was!
However, in order to keep the surface bright, the actual record was written to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. "
After a pause, "otherwise, why has maritime trade been so popular since Taizong? Let's not talk about the private sector. Except for the early period of the Supreme Emperor's reign, maritime trade was put on hold for a period of time. Has the imperial court ever stopped trade?"
Zhu Jianshen nodded slowly and then said: "So, you understand it very well?"
"Understand a little!" Li Qing nodded, looking like a master.
Zhu Jianshen glanced at him and said: "Since I understand it very well, then... Sir, please publish a book!"
Li Qing: "?"
He thought Zhu Jianshen was joking, but unexpectedly, Zhu Jianshen was more serious than ever:
"I don't know what you're talking about at all. As you said, many of the actual records have been processed and are not true to their original appearance. If this continues for a few generations, future Ming emperors will not know the deeds of their ancestors. "
Li Qing was stunned, then nodded, indicating that it was no problem.
He had never thought about this before, but now that Zhu Jianshen said this, he really felt it was necessary.
Only by knowing the affairs of the past can we learn from the experience and lessons of the past, and no matter how bad it is, we can also let the kings of future generations realize the real temple.
After all... the pen is in the hands of literati, and the actual records can often contain millions of words of classical Chinese. How much personal information is mixed in, Li Qing's living history is not fully understood.
"I can publish a book, but... how do you make future generations believe that what I wrote is true and wrong?" Li Qing asked.
Zhu Jianshen was also a little confused, "That's right! This is quite a problem..."
But at this moment, Zhu Wanqing's voice sounded outside: "Uncle Li, Uncle Li, please come out quickly, they won't let me in."
Zhu Jianshen was stunned for a moment: "Is this...?"
"Your sister!"
"?"
Zhu Jian was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, "She came to the capital again?"
"Well, I've been here for a while." Li Qing nodded, "Are you going, or am I going?"
"Let me do it."
Zhu Jianshen stood up and walked towards the door...
Li Qing was thinking about how to make what he wrote be recognized by future generations.
He had never thought about this before, but after talking to Zhu Jianshen, he suddenly realized that the history of the Ming Dynasty had been distorted. This problem was very serious and would affect the judgment of the previous dynasty by future generations.
"Li, Uncle Li." Zhu Wanqing called out timidly, twirling the corner of her clothes and not daring to raise her head.
Li Qing came back to his senses, glanced up at her, and said in surprise: "It's only been less than half an hour, why are you back so soon?"
"I...I didn't dare to go alone," Zhu Wanqing said sarcastically, "I just walked around Lianjia Village."
Li Qing was angry and funny, laughing and scolding: "Monkey in the door!"
Zhu Wanqing was ashamed and angry, but she didn't dare to get angry. In addition to being afraid of Li Qing, she was also in awe of this strange eldest brother, the emperor, and she didn't dare to be rude in front of him.
"Okay, the emperor and I are discussing state affairs. You should go back to your room first."
"Yes." Zhu Wanqing nodded, bowed slightly to Zhu Jianshen, turned around and ran away.
Zhu Jian took a deep look at his sister, then looked at Li Qing, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
"What's wrong?" Li Qing asked.
Zhu Jianshen said displeasedly: "Have you been yelling at her like this?"
Don't be angry, I treat your father the same way... Li Qing touched his nose and said: "The little girl is playful, there is nothing wrong with being strict."
Zhu Jianshen was even more unhappy. He had no feelings for this cheap girl, but no matter what, she was still his own girl. Li Qing's behavior could be said to be deviant or even treasonous.
"Although she has no title, she is the Ming Dynasty after all..." He lowered his voice, "The princess of the Ming Dynasty, how could you do this!?"
Li Qing smacked his lips and asked, "How about I invite the Supreme Emperor back and see what he says?"
Zhu Jianshen: "..."
"Let's talk about state affairs!"
Li Qing smiled and nodded: "Well, what did you just say?"
"Publish a book!"
"Let's not rush this. There are too many things that have happened in the past hundred years. It cannot be accomplished in a day. Let's talk about the things we are about to face first!" Li Qing said seriously, "I suggest that the navy should pay attention to it!"
History has shifted. Over the years, maritime trade has been in full swing. It is no longer in the same channel as the Ming Dynasty in history. What tests will the sea face in the future... He really has no idea.
Zhu Jianshen said: "It's not that I'm worried about financial resources, but that the Ming Dynasty is really not rich. The navy's expenses are not even comparable to the most expensive Shenji Camp!"
Li Qing nodded: "Of course I know this. I'm not asking you to develop it in an all-round way immediately. I'm just doing a pilot project first. At present, the main thing is to prevent Mobei."
"Well... I also feel that it is most correct to focus on Mobei now." Zhu Jianshen breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I feel that the Hetao will definitely be unstable in the future;
The reason is very simple. On the surface, the three major camps in Oara are subservient to the Ming Dynasty, but in fact they are for trade. Once the trade gap is tightened, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not set their sights on the Hetao. "
Zhu Jian took a deep breath and continued: "Wala has been living in the grassland for so many years. They are basically the same as the locals in the grassland. They almost all look similar. Even if they really come to rob them, Ming Dynasty will not be able to prove that it is them afterwards, so they must be on guard!"
Li Qing nodded happily. Zhu Jianshen's overall view and political vision were in line with his psychological expectations.
"Then what does the Emperor think should be done?" Li Qing was not in a hurry to express his opinion.
Zhu Jian thought deeply for a while and said: "I am going to bring back a group of Ming troops stationed in Hetao..."
"Which ones will be transferred specifically?"
"Three thousand battalions!" Zhu Jianshen said, "let the tribes fill the vacancy created, and at the same time, add a group of Shenji battalion soldiers."
Li Qing was even more pleased and asked: "Why?"
"The combat power of the Ming army is mainly reflected in the coordinated operations of the three battalions. This will help to quickly restore the army's combat power." Zhu Jianshen said deeply: "In the future, defense changes can also be used to sharpen the Ming army. In this way, if If we send troops to the grassland in the future, we can continue the devastation of the Taizong period!"
Li Qing smiled happily, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty!"
The sudden politeness made Zhu Jianshen uncomfortable. He smiled and said, "Sir, do you also agree with my idea?"
"This arrangement is very appropriate." Li Qing nodded with a smile and praised it without hesitation.
Zhu Jianshen grinned and wanted to smile, but suddenly stopped and frowned: "Actually, the most important thing at the moment is not the situation in Mobei!"
"It's money!" Li Qing said. gòйЪ.ōΓg
"Yes," Zhu Jianshen nodded heavily, "As the saying goes: The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers; whether it is military equipment or civil administration, money is inseparable. Everything requires money, but..."
He smiled bitterly and said, "But what I need most now is money!"
After a pause, he tentatively asked, "How about printing more treasure banknotes?"
Li Qing flatly refused: Just kidding, you are just having fun without asking you to repay the loan, why are you printing more treasure notes?
"The money can be made from commercial taxes!" Li Qing said, "I have been planning this matter for a while. Your Majesty, please don't worry. I will come up with a set of regulations as soon as possible to replenish the national funds."
Then, Li Qing talked about the theory of five oranges.
He had given Zhu Jianshen some financial lessons, but he had not explained them in a systematic way. Today he took the opportunity to explain the stakes to Zhu Jianshen.
This lecture lasted all afternoon.
At the end of Shen Shi, Zhu Jianshen stood up to leave and said in admiration: "Sir, his view of the problem is really different, but he is also quite thorough. Well... I will leave it to you, Mr. Lao, to deal with money matters."
Li Qing nodded with a smile: "Ruling a big country is like cooking a small dish. There is no need to rush. The emperor is still young and has plenty of time to make arrangements. Many things will go faster if they are slowed down!"
Zhu Jianshen also smiled: "Haste makes waste, I understand. Sir, don't worry, I will not offend the Supreme Emperor... I have plenty of patience."
"Well... Your Majesty, walk slowly."
…
As soon as Zhu Jianshen left, Zhu Wanqing's head popped up, "Uncle Li, the emperor has left?"
"Let's go!" Li Qing said angrily, "Aren't you usually very capable? Why don't you even dare to go out?"
"Who said I don't dare to do it anymore?" Zhu Wanqing puffed up her chest and said angrily, "Aren't I going to take a walk around Lianjia Village?"
Li Qing was too lazy to talk to her: "Okay, let's go cook."
"...Uncle Li, we are really out of food." Zhu Wanqing said with a wry smile.
"Forget it, you won't starve to death even if you don't eat." Li Qing muttered and was about to lie back on his favorite recliner.
Zhu Wanqing hurriedly grabbed him and said pitifully: "Uncle Li, please take me to the restaurant next time. The food I cooked... I find it unpalatable. After these days, I have lost a lot of weight due to hunger. "
Li Qing looked at the sun and saw that he still had time. Zhu Jianshen's performance today put him in a good mood, so he nodded in agreement:
"Okay, let's cure the problem of the monkey in your sect!"
Zhu Wanqing: "..."
