Chapter 1827 Fang Jun’s hammer, my confidant
Another example is armaments.
King Wu of Zhou used chariots on a large scale and was invincible in battles, making "using chariots several times" a symbol of the status of vassal states. King Wuling of Zhao was riding and shooting in Hu uniforms, which established the status of "cavalry is king" in one fell swoop. Da Qin's strong bows and powerful crossbows formed an invincible The army sweeps the world... Every military reform will usher in an era, and the changes in each era can last for thousands of years, or at least hundreds of years.
But what about now?
The emergence of horseshoes allowed the cavalry to run long distances under harsh road conditions and penetrate into the heart of the enemy, once again raising the status of the cavalry to an unprecedented height. Not long after, a new type of plate armor came out in a battle in Niuzhuji. The "armored cavalry" with both men and horses wearing heavy armor became the king of war, charging fearlessly with the rolling iron flow, daring to block all the people in the world in front of it. All the troops will be crushed into powder and become dolphins and dogs waiting to be slaughtered.
This is not over yet. There is an earth-shattering battle in the distant Nanyang Linyi Kingdom. The "Shocking Thunder" appears from the sky and proves its "invincible" status in actual combat. Even the octogenarians and children can throw it. Get rid of it, kill Yingye!
Then, artillery that can destroy city walls at a very long distance appeared...
How many years has it taken you to do this?
In the past, military reforms that took hundreds or even thousands of years to complete are endless. Even invincible generals such as Li Jing, Yu Chigong, and Cheng Yaojin often feel that today's war is different from the past, and we urgently need to learn and understand new methods. The characteristics and usage of weapons, otherwise no matter how invincible a general once was, he will be eliminated by the times...
The scene of the empire is changing with each passing day.
It gives everyone the feeling of being in a whirlpool. Whoever cannot keep up with this changing era will be destined to be eliminated by the times.
The three of them exhaled in unison. Since the beginning of history, this is a major change that has not happened in thousands of years...
Then, the three of them all realized that their behavior and expressions were in sync with the two people beside them. Not only were they slightly embarrassed, they nodded to each other, quickly walked out of the palace together, and parted ways.
*****
When Ma Zhou and Cen Wenwen also left one after another, the chamberlain took away the tea cups and brewed another pot of tea and brought it to the table. The prince was so excited that he rubbed his palms together and said, "Father, Erlang has a carrot in one hand and a big stick in the other." method really works, that is Even those members of aristocratic families who regard family interests as paramount must obey and be willing to be encouraged? I think this method is not only useful for the aristocratic families, but can also be followed by the surrounding vassals. "
< br>
His Majesty Li Er was also in agitated mood, but the city was obviously much deeper than the prince, and his face did not reveal much. He slowly drank tea and whispered: "What's 'a carrot in one hand and a big stick in the other'? That guy He just refuses to study hard and loses his amazing talent. It’s nothing more than coercion and inducement, nothing unusual.”
The prince clicked his tongue and stopped talking.
Nothing unusual?
It's not surprising. Why didn't you think of issuing overseas trade licenses to blackmail the family members in order to achieve the purpose of passing business taxes?
However, as a son of man, such words cannot be uttered.
Not only can't he say it, he also doesn't dare to say it...
On the other hand, Your Majesty Li Er feels a little embarrassed. You are so wise and powerful that you can shine thousands of miles away, but in the end you have to rely on Fang Jun to open a door in the Japanese country and shake the foundation of the family?
But it is absolutely impossible for him to admit that he can't settle the business tax without relying on Fang Jun. As an emperor and the honor of a country, he can't survive without a stick?
The atmosphere was slightly awkward.
The prince changed the subject: "Father, Emperor Erlang mentioned in his report that he proposed to use internal funds to build schools all over the country and vigorously develop social studies, so that all scholars from poor families in the world would become 'disciples of the emperor'." Consolidate imperial power Once this important event is accomplished, all the students in the world will regard the imperial family as their benefactor. Therefore, I am bold enough to ask my father to allow me to undertake this matter." br>
His Majesty Li Er's smile gradually faded and he was silent.
The prince's heart suddenly tightened and he was extremely worried.
How important is it to educate poor students? If this matter is really handled by the prince, the consequences will be huge. The students did not care too much that it was the emperor who spent money from his own funds to support their studies. They only cared that the prince worked hard and would pay all his loyalty to the prince.
Logically speaking, it would be a bit overstepping for the prince to handle such matters...
After pondering for a while, His Majesty Li Er looked up at the prince and suddenly asked with a smile: "Is this what Fang Er taught you?"
The prince was stunned for a moment, feeling a little guilty, and lowered his head and said: "Yes..."
As a prince, it seems a bit embarrassing for his words and deeds to be so affected by his ministers.
However, His Majesty Li Er obviously did not blame the prince for this matter. Instead, he smiled and said sincerely: "Do you know what you like most about Fang Jun as a father?"
The prince was a little confused and said blankly: "I don't know."
His Majesty Li Er didn't take it seriously. He took a sip of tea and said, "Logically speaking, my father doesn't think highly of this guy's behavior. He is too violent and often throws his fists at others. He rarely pays attention to strategy when doing things. He simply crushes him with strength, which makes people feel dissatisfied. But there is only one thing that makes his father very happy, so even if he makes mistakes many times, he can endure it again and again and not argue with him. "
After a pause, he said with emotion: "Sometimes the flattery on this guy's mouth is disgusting, and sometimes the rebellious words are annoying, but in his heart he admires and worships his father. He truly believes that being a father will last forever. Most emperors are more powerful. For example, the advice he gave you, such as those in the Eastern Palace, would only advise you to stay as far away from social studies as possible, because this is taboo and cannot be done easily. Everyone in the world is disappointed. If you do well, you are afraid that the emperor will be jealous... But Fang Jun doesn't think so. He dares to suggest that you make a request to your father because he is sure that your father will not be disappointed because of your good work. Suspicion of you will only encourage you to do better. Although this person is hateful, he really knows me. Alas, it is my luck that my best friend would be such a bastard..."
He, Li Er, is just such a person.
Extremely confident, thinking that I am the best in the world, and using him to seize the world. It seems like a matter of just one sentence, but in fact, there are many difficulties and dangers involved, which is not what outsiders understand. If there is even the slightest mistake, it will never happen. This is the end of today.
If you can even succeed in such a lucky thing, you are truly destined!
What can anyone in the world do to me? !
He is broad-minded because of his self-confidence. Take a look at the people under his command... Rebellious thieves such as Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji, treacherous officials such as Pei Ju, grassland barbarian kings such as Ashina Simo, and even Prince Yin who was killed by him. Li Jiancheng's confidants Wei Zheng, Xue Wanche and others...so many people with different identities and backgrounds can all be used by him without suspicion and suspicion. What kind of magnanimity and magnanimity is this?
Therefore, he was only afraid that the prince would not do well enough, and was never afraid of being upstaged by the prince.
No matter how powerful your prince is, can he be more powerful than you and me? !
The prince was stunned and didn't know what to say.
But thinking about it carefully, Fang Jun really knew that his father would not worry about endangering the throne, so he took the opposite advice from other courtiers...
My father's heart is truly incomparable.
If there were another emperor, he would definitely be worried that the prince would be too popular, win over too many people, and endanger the emperor's status. Not to mention whether he would do something treacherous due to ambition, just to make people say that I am not as good as his son, you let the emperor Where to put your face, prestige and presence, how to convince the public?
But His Majesty Li Er is not a leisurely king, and he will not worry about this.
He would only worry that the prince did not do well enough and was unable to inherit the splendid country and thousands of miles of territory that he had earned through all the infamy...
But... Fang Jun is actually his father's confidant?
Thinking about the mountains and rivers between Boya and Zhong Ziqi, how connected they were, how graceful and elegant they were, and then thinking about his father and Fang Jun... The prince felt a chill in his heart.
That Fang Jun is not afraid of death. He has repeatedly criticized his father and been beaten repeatedly, but he still refuses to change despite repeated admonitions... If all the confidants in the world are like this, it will really tarnish the beautiful word "confidant".
"Father, don't worry. I will definitely do my best to do this matter with my heart, so that all the students in the world can feel the kindness and love of my father, and be used by my father. In time, all the students who take the imperial examination in the Tai Chi Palace will be the emperor's disciples! ”
Anyway, the royal family has a lot of money now. Once the gold mines in Japan are mined and they are brought back ship by ship, they don't know how to spend it. Using it to set up social schools to subsidize students and achieve the goal of winning the hearts of the world, the money is considered to be money well spent.
"Do it with your heart, and write to Fang Jun more often in your free time. That guy has a lot of ideas, and he might be able to benefit you in some other way."
His Majesty Li Er warned.
The prince hurriedly agreed: "My son, please remember this."
Then he asked: "Erlang once said in his letter that the Japanese country has a lot of gold and silver deposits, and once it is mined, a large amount of gold and silver will be obtained every year. Therefore, he advised his father to reform the currency system, mint three new types of currency, gold, silver, and copper, and adopt a decimal system. I don’t know what your father’s thoughts are on exchanging it.” (End of Chapter)
