Capital Datang

Chapter 212 Capital Monster

Li Yin was kidnapped, to be precise, he was kidnapped by the capital monster he released by himself!

When Li Yin started frying tea and brewing wine, he didn't think about other things at all. He just wanted to increase some income for the palace. In addition, he would build relationships with Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong and others to increase some political capital. In the battle, he can maintain a dominant position. He doesn't like to bully others, but he doesn't like others to bully himself either.

But ever since he proposed the idea of ​​burning cement to build roads, he gradually found that he was forced to play another role, that is, to become a firefighter in the industrial and commercial circles. He has to worry about issues of human resources, manpower, and product sales, and he can't even refuse, because behind him, there are not only a group of sharpened knives and forks, ready to There are capitalists who share the feast of capital with Li Yin, and there are countless ordinary people who make a living by industry and commerce.

Although Li Yin really wanted to use his identity as a prince to seduce a few beauties as he had planned when he first crossed, and then live his own life behind closed doors.But at the same time, he is also a person with a strong sense of responsibility. Since he is the one who released the beast of capital, he must be responsible to the end. In any case, he must lead capital to a relatively safe path, at least not let it be in the hands of others. While Datang brought benefits, it also became the biggest factor of instability in Datang!This is definitely not Li Yin's unfounded worry!

From the establishment of the Qin Dynasty to the demise of the Qing Dynasty, although the dynasties of the Central Plains had changed several times, they all belonged to the category of feudal dynasties. Together, they have a feudal society history of more than 100 years.This is simply a miracle in the world history of later generations, but anyone who understands Chinese culture knows that the most important reason why China can maintain such a long feudal society is the influence of Confucianism.Capital Datang 212

Confucianism has ruled the Central Plains dynasty for nearly 800 years from the beginning of the Han Dynasty when Confucianism was the only one, to the early Tang Dynasty where Li Min lived.It has already penetrated into all aspects of the capital monster dynasty in Chapter 210 of the Central Plains, and it is not possible to replace it with another idea in a short time, as long as Confucianism exists for a day.The foundation of the feudal dynasty will not disappear for a day.

Although Li Yin is also fighting with the big families now, and these big families can also be called representatives of Confucianism in a sense.However, the struggle between them can only be called a conflict of interests in the final analysis, and it has not yet risen to the level of a battle of ideas.Scholars influenced by Confucianism still occupy high positions in the court and still have a huge influence in society, so the development of industry and commerce has not really touched the foundation of Confucianism.

It's just that Li Yin, as a later generation, knows very well that when industry and commerce develop to a certain stage, the minions of the monster capital will also begin to grow.There will inevitably be fierce conflicts with the inherent ruling class of feudal society. The stronger the feudal rule is, the more intense this conflict will be.

For example, the bourgeois revolutions that occurred in Britain and France in history caused turmoil in the two countries for dozens or even hundreds of years, and countless people died as a result.If the bourgeois revolution happened in a country like Datang with stronger feudal rule and larger land area and population, the tragedy would be beyond imagination.

Li Yin could indeed succeed Li Shimin as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but after becoming the emperor, he faced two choices, or wipe out the development of capital in one fell swoop.Eliminate the unstable factors under your own imperial power.Or it is to support the development of industry and commerce, and use the imperial power as a guarantee to carry out bourgeois reforms to the country.With Li Yin's character and foresight, he will definitely choose the second one.

However, the early Tang Dynasty was the peak of the entire feudal society, and the whole country showed a thriving attitude. Confucianism has not been castrated by later generations, and people who are literate or illiterate are all affected by it invisibly.Li Yin's desire to carry out bourgeois reforms in this kind of country is simply incomparable. Even with the support of the emerging bourgeoisie, he will encounter strong resistance whether it is from the people or from the court. He may even spend countless energy The improvement will continue, but there is no guarantee that this improvement will continue after his death. After all, compared with the development of society, his life is too short.

In addition, there is another problem, that is, if he wants to promote bourgeois reforms, Li Yin will inevitably focus most of his energy on the country. In this way, overseas development will definitely be affected.Think about those virgin lands in the world that have not yet been developed. If there is no guidance from the prophet Li Yin, we don’t know when we will wait. Even if domestic capital is hit, then overseas development may become empty talk , I am afraid that in the future, I will only be able to take advantage of others. This is the most unbearable thing for Li Yin.

It is precisely because of the consideration that there will be so many unfavorable factors after sitting on the throne, so Li Yin has always been very hesitant about the throne, and in his heart, he has always had a vague idea, that is to guide The monster of capital devours outward, and then uses the benefits generated by the devouring to slowly transform Datang, so that Datang can smoothly complete the transformation and transition of society without knowing it, and try to avoid direct contact between capital and feudal imperial power. collision?

But the monster of capital is not a domesticated pet. It will not listen to anyone's command at all. It will only follow its own "nature", remove all obstacles that block its growth path, and create a place that is most conducive to its own development. environment of.This is the nature of capital, and there is no reason at all.

Of course, nothing is absolute. Although Li Yin can't completely control the monster capital that he released with his own hands, he can control its direction, but this is only him, and he is controlling the monster. When dealing with monsters, he also needs to be careful, for fear that if he is not careful, he will be backlashed.

It is also in consideration of the above reasons that Li Yin decided to give up the fight for the throne, concentrate on controlling the monster of capital, and try not to cause any harm to Datang. As for places outside Datang, Li Yin can only say sorry, It will become a pasture for him to breed capital monsters, and the proceeds will be used to transform Datang. As for the negative consequences in the local area, that is beyond his control.

The above is the real reason why Li Yin can't help himself, but it's a pity that there are too many principles about capital operation involved. I'm afraid only Wang An can understand these in the entire Tang Dynasty.

As for Li Shimin, what Li Yin said was another way. He took out a world map, pointed to pieces of land, and told him what kind of special products were there on each piece of land, and what kind of special products would they have on Datang? what kind of impact.Moreover, he also compared the territory of Datang with the whole world, and the result suddenly aroused Li Shimin's lofty ambition, ambitious to conquer the whole world.

However, for Li Shimin's unrealistic ambition, Li Min immediately poured cold water on it, forget about the Eurasian continent, what about overseas North and South America and Oceania, with the navigation technology of the Tang Dynasty at that time, even a trip to Japan Dangerous, let alone crossing the Pacific Ocean.

As an emperor with an extremely strong desire to conquer, Li Shimin saw that the world was so big, but he could only live in a small place like Datang, which made him very unwilling, but there was nothing he could do about it. But manpower and material resources are also very limited, which cannot support his ambition at all.

In response to Li Shimin's mentality, Li Yin immediately took the initiative to invite Ying, and proposed that if Datang wants to conquer the world, it must first conquer the ocean. To develop sea trade and accumulate wealth for Datang, and secondly to use overseas resources to enhance Datang's national strength.

For Li Yin's move, Li Shimin was very surprised at first, because he really couldn't figure it out, his son had a great hope of inheriting the throne, but now he offered to give up the throne, and went to open up those overseas wild lands alone. Land, isn't this giving up the easier and choosing the harder?

Li Yin also put forward another explanation for this, that is, he didn't want to compete with other brothers, and he didn't want the scene of Xuanwumen to be repeated, so he took the initiative to go out and open up, hoping to set an example for future princes and tell Instead of focusing all their attention on succession to the throne, they might as well fight hard with their own hands.

For Li Yin's explanation, Li Shimin finally fell silent. After experiencing the human tragedy of killing brothers and brothers, the last thing he wanted to see was for his sons to fight to the death for the throne, so Li Yin's explanation was deeply moved. After leaving him, he finally made up his mind. Since he has no time to conquer the world, he should simply give this opportunity to his children and grandchildren. I believe that with such an "excellent" son as Li Yin as the striker, one day, Datang The footprints of your descendants will cover all the lands in the world.Capital Datang 212

It was also moved by Li Yin's initiative that Li Shimin finally decided to fully support his son. No matter what he wanted to do, Li Shimin would not interfere. The reason why Li Yin proposed to go to Dengzhou was actually because he wanted to establish a A port base, as one of the fulcrums for future outward development.Of course, another reason for choosing Dengzhou is that it is very close to the Three Kingdoms of Goguryeo and Wa Kingdom, which is convenient for Li Yin's actions in the future, and the demise of Goguryeo is just the beginning.

It's just that the above two explanations are just to let Wang An and Li Shimin understand the reason why Li Yin withdrew from the battle for the throne. Now the entire aristocratic class in Chang'an City is waiting for Li Yin's explanation. No one can understand it. As for what you said to Li Shimin, you can take it out for a while, but it seems that the persuasion is not enough. Fortunately, Li Yin wrote the article with Concubine Yang, and it will be read in the newspaper tomorrow. . rs! ! !
