Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1992 Looking to the Future
It is clearly a very simple strategy, but why did the ministers above the court formulate such a complicated plan with multiple routes?

Is it because those big men and famous generals in the court know better about military affairs than Fang Jun?
This can't be...

When the Tang Dynasty was established, those famous generals in the court were all fought out in battles, and their titles were accumulated by victories. Although each had their own plans and camps, none of them won their positions. Fame!
With so many bosses, how can they compare to Fang Jun?
If it is said that no one in the world can surpass Fang Jun in the art of accumulating wealth, Li Chengqian believes it; but if it is said that the way of marching and arranging formations, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty is no match for Fang Jun, even Li Chengqian would not believe it if he was killed.

The answer is obvious, just as Fang Jun said just now, this is a national war, and it is even more a gluttonous feast for plundering meritorious deeds. Every force, every camp, and every military commander must share in it , Whoever dares to obstruct them will be the enemy of the whole world!

Cutting off people's money is like killing their parents, and cutting off their merits is even worse than death!

Under such circumstances, even if His Majesty Li Er knew that such a strategy would seriously delay the progress, he had to compromise to take into account the distribution of interests in all aspects.

But I actually thought that Fang Jun would get the first meritorious service, so as to achieve the goal of being promoted to a noble, it was simply too naive...

Li Chengqian was a little annoyed, and said dejectedly: "Is it true that Gu is not expected to be a prince?"

This is Fang Jun himself can see clearly, otherwise, if he goes forward to attack as he said, he will become the target of public criticism, the father will not defend, and the ministers will attack regardless of camp and faction. Can fall in dismay.

This hit him hard, and he couldn't help but imagine, if King Wei and King Wu were in his position, would he still make such an almost stupid move?
The answer, unfortunately, is 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 that? No one is born to be able to do everything. The position of the minister is different, and the angle of view of the problem is naturally different. It is normal for His Highness to fail to see through the relationship. Furthermore, no one in the world can do everything well by himself. , If you can accept advice with an open mind, you are a qualified emperor. When the superior governs people, Your Highness only needs to distinguish the talents of the courtiers, and put the courtiers in the most suitable positions, and then they can govern and sit back and relax."

No one is omnipotent. An emperor who is in charge of such a huge empire has to take care of all aspects. How can it be possible to know everything about politics, military affairs, and economy, and to give correct instructions?

Zhuge Liang had to do everything himself, and in the end he was exhausted and died five feet away. Wouldn't the Kingdom of Shu still disappear and perish?

Make the best use of people and make the best use of things, that is a qualified emperor.

Li Chengqian sat up on his knees, and said solemnly: "I would like to be taught!"

This is the art of the emperor. Although the teachers in the East Palace are knowledgeable and have taught such a way of being a king, they are by no means as straightforward as Fang Jun. Instead, they have to quote the scriptures and quote the classics, and the answers they give are also ambiguous. , plausible.

As for whether you can learn the real skills from it, it depends on your own understanding, and even whether the things you comprehend are right or wrong, you will not give a definitive answer...

It's not that the teachers are hiding their knowledge. In fact, all the emperor's teachers have been like this since ancient times. They would never teach the emperor or the prince "what you should do". This is the wisdom of survival.

Otherwise, the slightest mistake will become the responsibility of the emperor.

Who dares to take on such a responsibility?
Only Fang Jun, who has insight beyond the times and has a "stick" who doesn't have a deep understanding of the taboos of ancient officialdom, can say such things unscrupulously. "Politics", the name of "treacherous and sycophant" is immediately confirmed, and it is absolutely unbearable to walk around...

But Li Chengqian is very useful for this. He is a bit cowardly and not courageous enough. It is really difficult for him to figure out an answer that he does not know is right or wrong from other people's words and implement it unswervingly.

The snow outside the window was getting bigger and bigger, and the snowflakes were fluttering. The whole Lishan Mountain was covered in snow powder, and it was empty, like a fairyland outside the world.

This house is located on a soil bag with a slightly higher terrain. Standing in front of the window, you can overlook the rows of greenhouses stretching out in an orderly manner on the hillside, occupying the sunny side of the hillside.At this moment, it was snowing heavily, and countless soldiers chanting chant, walked neatly on the path between the greenhouses, supporting the two fires guarding each greenhouse. From time to time, someone climbed up and down with a broom to clean the accumulated Snow.

It's just that there is a lot of learning, often before the front is finished, the back is covered with snow again, so they can only keep going back and forth, lest there will be too much snow and the greenhouse will collapse.

There are also women and children in Zhuangzi carrying kettles filled with hot water, shuttling between the greenhouses, sending boiling hot water to the soldiers to help them drive away the cold.

……

Standing in front of the window, Li Chengqian couldn't help asking, looking at such a hot scene: "These seeds, can really solve the hunger of the Tang people in one fell swoop, as Erlang said, and never worry about being full again? "

Fang Jun stood beside him, shook his head and said, "How is it possible? People in the world can't have enough to eat, not only because of the lack of arable land and low grain output, but also because of the improvement of production tools, the popularization of rational farming, the application of fertilizers, especially Whether the government is clear or not is related to the belly of the people in the world. However, once several 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 the original basis will be improved. One to two times the output is entirely possible."

Seeing Fang Jun's serious appearance, Li Chengqian was moved and said, "Really?"

What else can Fang Jun say?

I can only nod my head in affirmation.

He was very helpless, and his lips were almost worn out. As a result, these people still had doubts about how high-yield crops could be produced, and couldn't believe the numbers he said.

Hehe, poverty limits your imagination...

"Your Majesty thought that this minister was just playing with his temper, so he put aside the errands of the Ministry of War and went to hide in the Lishan Mountains to express his protest. In fact, this minister is really worried that these hard-earned seeds will be killed by the Secretary. Those bureaucrats in Nongsi have been harmed. It is not easy to go to the New World. Even if you have a chart now, the danger of crossing the ocean is too great, and you may not be able to reach it if you send another fleet. Therefore, the humble minister Stay in Mount Li and cultivate these seeds with your own hands. Your Highness, we are all a lucky generation. After ascending the throne in the future, the high-yield crops will already be all over the Tang Dynasty. As long as the government is cleaned up, the world will no longer have to worry about famine, even if disasters are rampant In the new year, the common people can have enough food and clothing, and the rule of the ancient legend will surely reappear under your rule! In the history, His Majesty certainly has the title of Emperor through the ages, but Your Highness, are you not a generation of British Lords who carry on the past and usher in the future? Let future generations remember and sing praises?"

An ancient emperor?
Li Chengqian never thought that it wasn't that he was not aggressive, but that he admired his father too much, thinking that he would never be able to surpass his father's achievements no matter what, not to mention that his father now has a mountain lying across Qin Shihuang in front of him?

He knows his own family affairs, as long as he can be a stable and successful king, his wish will be fulfilled.

But now, Fang Jun actually said that he could become "a generation of heroes who carry forward the past and usher in the future"... Li Chengqian's face was flushed and his heart was surging, but he really didn't have much confidence, and asked in a trembling voice: "Is that true?"

Fang Jun chuckled, and proudly said: "What's so difficult about this? Datang's grain will be full of food. In the next 20 years, Datang's strategic focus will gradually shift south. After all, the development of Guanzhong has reached However, in the south, there is still a lot of fertile land that needs to be developed. Just say that the [-]-mile Dongting Lake is rich in water and grass. With a little development, you can get millions of acres of land, where the water is abundant and the climate is suitable. , the grain output will surpass Guanzhong to become the largest granary in the Tang Dynasty! Don’t those Jiangnan aristocratic families relying on the natural geographical advantages of the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River? At that time, half of the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River will come from Dongting Hunan, Dongting The Lianghu area in Hubei has produced a steady stream of grain, and see if the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River dare to ignore the court's laws as they do now!"
