Merry Evil Zun Xiuxian Ji

It is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Everyone knows the truth. If the emperor re-establishes the princes, will they also have a chance to become a prince?

You must know that the princes are basically the lords of a country, with strong executive power, they can collect taxes and control the army by themselves, in addition to being responsible to the emperor, they can do whatever they want within their own jurisdiction. It's a legacy passed down from generation to generation.

The hearts of all the officials were confused at once, but then they felt inexplicable emotions one by one, and all these emotions finally gave birth to a thought, that is, the emperor who always laughs seems...somewhat unreliable...

You know, all the ordinary emperors have to do after founding a country is to try their best to restrain power, how can they spread power like Chang Xiao?

It is easy to disseminate rights, but it is too difficult to take them back. A prince may be registered with an imperial decree, but if you want to take back the land of the princes and the power of the princes, it will take blood and fire. The collision can only be achieved with the dedication of life. They don't believe that Chang Xiao doesn't understand this truth, but they don't understand why Chang Xiao does this.

All the officials looked at Chang Xiao together, the meaning in their eyes was very complicated, the princes were still a bit too far away for them, and the princes Chang Xiao promised must also be in remote areas where barbarians are rampant. Not very interested. In fact, they are very satisfied with their current life. The four words of prosperity and wealth can fully describe their current living conditions. They don’t need to be corrupt and take power, they have enough money to use, and they go out to be respected by others. , and each has its own career, that scholar has no ambition?Although they are busy now, they are quite fulfilling and full of energy. As long as they do their jobs well, they will have the possibility of promotion. They are living a very comfortable life, and they really don't want to change anything. They even hope that Chang Xiao will sit firmly on the throne, so that their comfortable life can continue. Why does the emperor not understand them so much? What about painstaking efforts?Why do you love to toss so much?

Chang Xiao speaks boldly, but in fact, there is nothing he can do about it. In this era, the earth is still very big, there is no advanced communication method, no advanced means of transportation, no one can rule such a large area, even if Chang Xiao has Dao Qi The realm is also impossible!

Chang Xiao has a fire dragon army that surpasses the civilization of this world. It is easy to expand the territory, but after the expansion, who will stick to this territory for him?

At the time of the Yuan Dynasty, the force was tyrannical and occupied a large area of ​​the world, but what was the final result?It is impossible to keep the foundation at all. This is the consequence of having a strong army but not talents capable of occupying a large amount of land, or the talent chain collapse caused by excessive expansion.

It can also be said that the existence of a country occupying such a vast land was not allowed in that era, so the Yuan Dynasty was just a flash in the pan, and it ended hastily after the glory.

In this era without powerful information exchange facilities and powerful means of transportation, if Chang Xiao wants to control a larger territory, he can only reintroduce the feudal feudal system, which is why the feudal feudal system existed in the first place.In fact, Daming used this strategy to deal with the surrounding tribes with vellus hair like blood. It is impossible for Daming to send officials to manage them, so they recognize their leader status, and it is enough to belong to Daming in name.

But what Chang Xiao wants is rule, not nominal ownership, so he needs his own tribe to be the king of that piece of land, to replace him in governing a large piece of land that he can't touch.

Chang Xiao is not an all-rounder, he only knows a little bit about weapons. Ask him to study ships and cars. These things are difficult for others. It can even be said that Chang Xiao’s understanding of telephones is very limited. He is not a genius, although he knows These things exist, but he can only explain his intentions and ask smart people to realize these things.This process may be ten years, maybe 20 years, maybe 30 years, or even longer. Although Chang Xiao's lifespan is long enough, he can't afford to wait.He also didn't want to sit on this throne for a longer time than ordinary people. Although the throne is good, it would be tiresome to sit for a long time. Chang Xiao really didn't want to spend his life in this endless political affairs. After the big country, the rest will be left to future generations.Chang Xiao understands a truth, no matter how awesome the great grandfather is, he can't control the affairs of his great-grandson's life.

Chang Xiao waved his hand, and ten eunuchs next to him carried a thick roll of cloth and walked up to the court hall. All the officials were stunned, Chang Xiao nodded, and the cloth was unfolded, and what appeared in the eyes of all the officials was a pair of The map of the world, this map is very accurate near the big man, and the farther away the place is more blurred, but it has basically depicted the whole world. This map is made by Chang Xiao relying on the memory of the previous life, and then it took three days Time travels the world to describe it, with the state of constant laughter, turning around the central world does not waste much time, and then finds merchants from various countries who trade in China to investigate one by one, and then forms such a Zhang Wanguo Quantu.Chang Xiao has been making this picture since he ascended the throne, and only now has he drawn a rough picture, a full five years.

Baiguan looked at the whole map of the world, then at Chang Xiao, then at the map and then at Chang Xiao.

Chang Xiao said directly: "This is the world we live in, everyone can see how big Middle-earth is in this vast world!"

Civil and military officials are not completely unfamiliar with things like world maps. During the Ming Dynasty, Matteo Ricci presented the complete map of all nations. Many of these officials have seen it, and some of them have heard of it.

Now with Chang Xiao's guidance, I went to look at the map carefully. This map is easy to understand, even those who have never touched a map can get a rough idea!

As you can see on the map, the Great Han Kingdom is marked with black silk, like a dark hole, full of flamboyant and diffuse meaning, embroidered with mountains and rivers geography, city names, etc. on the entire surface The area occupied by the map is only a tenth of that, which is a challenge to their inherent impression of Middle Earth.

Even those officials who had seen the whole map of all nations in the past were still stunned when they saw that the area where Zhongtu was located was clearly marked, showing an inconceivable expression. place.

Chang laughed and said: "As you can see, there are countless rich lands outside of Middle-earth, and there are also countless intelligent peoples and countries. They are all treasures waiting for us to dig and occupy. This is a big land. At the beginning of the era, those who take the initiative will become stronger and stronger, and those who are backward will become more and more impoverished and eventually let others bully us. If we don’t fight out, it won’t be long before others will fight in. Use foreign wars to quell domestic disputes, and use foreign slavery to satisfy the ambitions of the Chinese people. In the Han Dynasty, as long as you have a dream, you can realize it. As long as you have ambitions, you should put on armor and conquer large areas of land. All generations of my descendants, the future of the Great Han, is on the other side of the sea, on the other side of Middle Earth, and is the sole king of the entire world."

After Chang Xiao’s passionate words were finished, all the officials were silent. In fact, the officials didn’t understand what benefits they would gain from doing so. They didn’t want to change. Change was too risky for them at the top of the pyramid.Therefore, although Chang Xiao's words were extremely provocative, they didn't move much!Not to mention Chang Xiao's so-called national self-esteem, which is a funny thing to them. If you want to talk about national self-esteem, does that person in this era have it?Since ancient times, the Middle-earth countries have been the kingdoms of heaven, and other countries outside are all so-called barbarians. Speaking of which, Middle-earth has never lacked this sense of national pride since the ancestors of the ancestors!

Chang Xiao brought things from his previous life to this era on a whim, which can be said to be out of place, not only unable to impress these officials, but a bit abrupt.

Seeing Baiguan's blinking eyes, full of hesitation, Chang Xiao couldn't help but show an imperceptible embarrassment, and then Chang Xiao's eyes flashed, Baiguan suddenly understood something, and hurriedly shouted Long live wise, Chang Laughing, he curled his lips. He just used a little Taoism to point out all the officials. This is the way of fooling the king, but it is good to enjoy such a little bit of worshiping the mountains and the seas!

Chang Xiao really felt that these officials were really hard to manipulate, and he could handle the existence of Dao Qi realm after cultivating Buddhahood, but he was a little powerless with these ordinary officials.

He didn't expect that he would encounter such a big resistance. He thought that a few words could convince all the officials, but now it seems that the farming civilization is really unwilling to pick up the sword and use blood to plow a larger living space!

But now, Chang Xiao understands the source of this resistance. Officials live too comfortably and don’t like change. This is a common problem of all ruling classes. This is also one of the reasons why revolutions have to bleed in history. Paraphrase Chang Xiao The textbooks of the previous life can be said to be the dying struggle of the vulgar, corrupt and degenerate ruling class who are afraid of change...

Chang Xiao now feels that the things in the book in the previous life are not completely wrong, at least it fits his current state of mind.These corrupt and stubborn bastards!

Then Chang smiled and moved his eyes, and said, "You have several children in your family. The eldest inherits the property, the second earns less, and the third earns less, and so on. So how do you support more children and grandchildren? Tell them to be Princes!"

The civil and military officials' eyes lit up when they heard this. This is indeed an idea. In this era, there are more children in the family, but there are only so many properties. At this time, we need to distinguish between primary and secondary. It is impossible to be completely even. Get some to maintain the dignity of the whole family. If there are too many children, there will be basically nothing to share in the end. In this way, the children who are not favored in the family will basically be poor. Money is nothing more than a means of survival, and I am afraid that more people will have to rely on the support of the clan, eating and drinking for free and wasting food!

Even in the Ming Dynasty's emperor's home, the vassal kings had no money to eat and starved to death everywhere, let alone the homes of ordinary people or the homes of officials.

Chang Xiao’s idea is to ask them to send out the idlers to work hard for a career. It’s better if they succeed, and their current affluent life will not be shaken if they fail to succeed. This is indeed a way to get the best of both worlds. Did the disciples really become princes?Doesn't that mean that the ancestors followed suit?One must know that in today's big families, don't those families have a large number of idlers who do food?It's true that these idlers don't do shit, don't work, and go around messing around every day, eating for nothing, and causing trouble to the clan.

Although Baiguan still has a negative and non-supportive attitude towards Chang Xiao's expansion path, they still agree with Chang Xiao's words on this point!This can effectively solve the problem of where the family's useless population goes.

Chang Xiao basically acted arbitrarily on the issue of marching, and all the officials knew that on the issue of the purpose of the Fire Dragon Army, they could not undo what Chang Xiao decided, let alone stop them. Xiao Xiao is considered a humble king, and is often willing to listen to the opinions of ministers, but when it comes to the army, especially the Huolong Army, Chang Xiao is so stubborn that it is almost indescribable.

They don't know other things. Chang Xiao doesn't know how to be open-minded, but when it comes to the army and targets to attack, Chang Xiao is an expert. For this, Chang Xiao has enough confidence, and firearms warfare is different from the cold weapons in the past. War, at least at this time, other people's opinions can't give him much inspiration.

Afterwards, the court dispersed, and all the officials were worried, and some of them were quite excited. Their eyes were full of the words "contributing to their achievements", but there are too few such characters, which can be described as pitifully few, and they are all generals , none of the civil servants.

For Chang Xiao, he has encountered a problem, but it is not a problem. No matter how the officials object, it will not affect him, but he really needs civil officials to rule the large territory that is about to be acquired for him.Therefore, in terms of force, Chang Xiao can abandon hundreds of officials, but in terms of sticking to the achievements, he needs the support of civil servants.

Said to be the princes, but in fact the princes in Chang Xiao’s mouth and the thoughts of the officials are not so the same...
