Quan Yutianxia GL

Xiao Hongfei, who became a general at the age of 17, dared to abandon the city without even a transfer order.

Talao County Zun fell into the hands of Xianbei people for more than half a year. Although he lost a leg, he was still in a difficult situation, and he was still able to organize so many border residents. People survived last winter.

Li Rui, as the emperor's personal entrustment to the army and the chief minister, dared to follow the Zhongwu army and the Zhaoyi army to the north when the court's infighting and the frontier army were in such a fierce situation.

Chuning dared not underestimate any of these three people. Even though Li Rui was just a loli under the age of 16, in terms of scheming, she might not be able to play with all the people present.

Therefore, what she said and what she did, Chuning maintained a mentality of listening and watching.

After Li Rui finished speaking, Ta Lao Xianzun coughed several times, and after recovering, he changed his words: "Such a big matter, the princes of the imperial court will take care of it, and we don't want to talk too much. Miss Feng , You said earlier that the purpose of war is to stop war, so this old man will test you, how can we achieve the goal of no war?"

After finishing speaking, Ta Lao Xianzun looked around the audience and saw that Xiao Hongfei, Feng Jiuqing and Li Rui were all staring and thinking, but Chu Ning was the only one who was staring at the brush she put on the paper, wondering what she was thinking.

Soon, Xiao Hongfei had the answer: "Rely on a powerful army and outstanding generals to defeat the enemy and make all the enemies surrender."

"General Xiao, war does not necessarily mean force and killing." Feng Jiuqing retorted: "We can teach them etiquette, shame, benevolence and righteousness, and let them understand that killing cannot solve things."

"I agree with General Xiao's statement." Li Rui said, "If you can't make the opponent surrender, who will listen to you about etiquette? Who will talk to you about benevolence and righteousness? Benevolence and righteousness are something that only the victors have."

In the end, Ta Lao County Venerable General looked at Chu Ning and asked, "What is Chu Zhaoyi's opinion?"

Chuning came back to his senses and said, "Well, what everyone said makes sense."

"That's it?" Xiao Hongfei was dissatisfied: "Chu Zhaoyi, your words are too perfunctory."

"Okay, I have something to say." Chuning spread his hands and said, "Do you want to hear it?"

The four nodded at the same time, and Chuning had no choice but to say: "Actually, I quite agree with Miss Feng's statement that war does not necessarily refer to armed struggle. For example, two children robbing candy can actually be called war. Merchants scramble to make money, which can also be called a war. The war between the Daqing court and Xianbei, the farming people in the Central Plains and the nomadic people in the grasslands, indeed cannot be resolved only by force and killing."

Ta Lao County Venerable listened very carefully. Although he couldn't see clearly, he immediately asked: "Then how to solve it?"

"Civilization, force, money, and technology are all indispensable." Chuning said, seeing that everyone seemed a little unfamiliar with the word technology, so he explained: "Technology refers to the technology used by craftsmen to make various equipment..."

Ta Lao Xianzun nodded, expressing that he understood: "Chu Zhaoyi, please continue."

"Among them, the most important thing is civilization. Civilization can strengthen force, create money, improve technology, and even invade our war opponents."

However, Chuning knew that she was incapable of creating a sect and infecting others with ideological civilization, let alone infection. Even if she said that men and women were equal to these people now, she would be regarded as a lunatic and monster. The other rules are still there. Men are not equal to men. If women mix in, what will be the result?

"We understand that force can protect us." Xiao Hongfei said, "Money can support the army and buy the enemy..."

"No! Those who can be bought and sold by money are not enemies!" Chuning said, "The most important use of money is to promote civilization and develop technology...It is used to kill people invisible..."

As he said that, Chuning suddenly froze, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he felt that he seemed to have grasped something, quickly grabbed a pen, dipped it in ink, dragged a piece of paper, and quickly wrote on the paper regardless of the fork of the pen. road:

Math

Economics

finance

physics

Chemical

Biology

……

right!This is so! ! !

Even if there is no way to develop physics and chemistry now, even if there is no way to increase food production, even if there is no way to make powerful weapons now, but-money!Bunsen is something more terrifying than nuclear weapons!

When money meets mathematics, it becomes economics and finance; when money meets politics, it is political economics; when money meets war, it is war economics!When money meets common people, it is market economics...

Money——is the cost and resource for human beings to survive, and is an important criterion for proving one's ability and achievement. It is everywhere and can make the powerful and all living beings bow their heads.

For example, things like equality between men and women can completely force women out to make money. With financial resources, you will have the confidence to stand upright. After a long time, everyone will see women working outside and take it for granted. With the emergence of a sense of equality, is there still a need to shout those few slogans that have been poohed by others?

Thinking of this, Chuning thought of Huang County. The current grain price in Huang County is maintained at around [-] Wen, and the income of an ordinary strong man is about [-] Wen. This means that a husband and wife must have the same income to support a family. A family of five...

Therefore, in Huang County, there are female businessmen, female generals, female peddlers, and quite a few women who work in the Bai family's workshop and Xie Yunzhu's clothing store. No one thinks it is wrong, because everyone I'm used to women showing their heads in public.Especially this year, due to the expansion of the Weimin Army and the construction of Penglai Avenue, a large number of strong men were unable to go home to farm, and under the organization of Huo Yunshu, the women also completed the spring planting in an orderly manner according to the season. This not only means that Huang County The improved labor force in the future also means that the women in Huang County have begun to stand alone.

In this era, although the status of women is not as low as that of braids, but in general there are still many restrictions. If it is not that life is really difficult, few people will let women go out to do physical work.

Therefore, Chu Ning believes that Bai Su has contributed a lot to Huang County becoming what it is now.

and many more!

Is this all calculated by Bai Su?

Chuning couldn't help admiring Bai Sulai, this is simply a genius - a person who has never studied economics and finance, but knows how to use money to influence people's behavior and thinking, but the people who are influenced have not noticed it.

Thinking of this, Chuning thought of the rise of several great powers in previous history. From the Roman Empire to the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, they basically used a similar method to complete the wealth accumulation of the empire, and this method was to occupy the territory. Looting resources, enslaving people...

But when the bald eagle rose later, it took a completely different path. Why?It is because the bald eagle saw that the tiger country suffered successive failures when it launched challenges to these old empires, and was educated from a tiger to a Hans cat.

Therefore, the bald eagles understood that this outdated method of violence was no longer feasible, so they developed a new method.

And this new means is economics and finance—to put it bluntly, it is money.

"The war between the farming people in the Central Plains and the nomadic people in the grasslands is just the beginning, but we must make a choice now."

Li Rui understood what Chuning meant, and asked in a deep voice, "Why?"

"Because, because the prosperous age will only be reborn from the ashes, the so-called ZTE... is nothing more than a self-deceiving lingering last breath." A thought flashed in Chuning's mind, and his speech was also very fast: "Xianbei and the Xiongnu may be just for food and money now." Population and war, but after they invaded the cities of the Central Plains and came into contact with the civilization of the Central Plains, they will learn something new—rights.”

In the history of Chuning's previous life, after the Xianbei people occupied part of the northern city land, they began to Sinicize rapidly, which affected the later Sui and Tang Dynasties.

"So, what Chu Zhaoyi means is, let us give up the Daqing court and stand on our own right now?" When Li Rui said these words, his expression was very calm, as if she was not a member of the current royal family, nor was she talking about conspiracy. Converse words.

"No, the choice I'm talking about, whether to let the choice be destroyed or reborn, has nothing to do with the court, and has nothing to do with rights."

Xiao Hongfei asked: "How come new life?"

"This is a very serious question, and I haven't figured it out yet." Chu Ning no longer continued this topic with Xiao Hongfei, but made a complaint and personally sent Xiao Hongfei, Li Rui and Ta Lao Xianzun out of the tent.

Turning around and coming back, Chuning couldn't wait to ask Feng Jiuqing: "Do I love money?"

"Of course you love money." Feng Jiuqing knew best about Chu Ning's collection of scrap money since the expedition, but she quickly added: "But you are not stingy with money."

In Feng Jiuqing's view, although Chu Ning stole a lot of money, the money she stole was basically not spent on herself.To eat, she ate with the soldiers of the Weimin Army; to wear, most of the time, she wore the standard military uniform of the Weimin Army, even the brocade clothes that Bai Su gave her, she wore very little.

"Then am I greedy for power?" Chuning asked again.

Chuning asked this question too directly, and no matter how he answered it, it seemed hypocritical.

But Feng Jiuqing didn't feel that this question was hypocritical at all. She vaguely felt that this female general who had been distracted seemed to be thinking about a very serious matter, and the question she asked seemed extremely crucial.

"You are the least greedy person I have ever met."

Feng Jiuqing answered equally seriously. From what she saw, Chu Ning was indeed neither greedy for power nor fighting for power. He basically adopted a cooperative attitude towards many people and things, such as Wang Yi, Xiao Hongfei, and Li Rui. ... As long as the other party does not take the initiative to break the cooperation rules and tacit understanding, she will try to leave room for cooperation between the two parties.

Hearing Feng Jiuqing's answer, Chu Ning asked himself the third question in his heart: "Am I in love?"

The answer to this question is naturally yes, she not only admires the beauty, but especially admires the beauty of Master Bai.

Only those who do not love money are suitable for holding money; only those who are not greedy for power are suitable for holding power - Chuning has always had a deep understanding of these two points.

"Miss Qing, I need you to do something very important." Chu Ning calmed down, looked at Feng Jiuqing and said, "This matter may have something to do with the 'benevolence and righteousness' you have been pursuing."

The benevolence and righteousness that Feng Jiuqing pursues has always been different from that of Chuning. Hearing what Chuning said now, she can't help asking: "Didn't you always believe in the supremacy of interests? Why do you suddenly think of benevolence and righteousness?"

"Even though I believe in interests, I'm not a savage like Xianbei who kills and devours blood." Chuning said with a wry smile: "Besides, benevolence and interests have never been separated."

"My junior sister once said that benevolence and righteousness are all tricks, and your words seem to be no different from what she said."

"In terms of benevolence and righteousness, strategy is just a temporary means; in terms of power and strategy, benevolence and justice are nothing more than a banner of morality." Chuning said: "In my opinion, regardless of benevolence and righteousness or strategy, the ultimate goal is nothing but profit. "

Feng Jiuqing heard the words, and said bitterly: "I can't tell the right from wrong in what you said."

"There is no right or wrong in this statement." Chu Ning said: "However, we cannot deny the fact that the king needs benefits to maintain his superior status and rights; ministers need benefits to be loyal to the king; and the people, You need benefits to live in peace.”

"Your words sound like you are saying that the so-called 'benevolence and righteousness' mentioned by the sages is just a joke."

"No, you can understand that benefits are the means to achieve benevolence and righteousness. Think about it, benefits can make the people have no worries about food and clothing, can turn hostility into wealth, and can turn a troubled world into a prosperous one." Chu Ning said: "A person with little education, A peaceful and prosperous age where old people depend on themselves, can't they be called a world of benevolence and righteousness?"

"It seems to be a feeling of being persuaded by you." Feng Jiuqing said: "Then what can I do?"

"Help me find a group of people who like arithmetic and arithmetic. Of course, it's not just limited to these. You can also invite other talents with their own talents." Chuning said seriously: "It's best, it's madness." and addiction."

Mathematics is a very obscure subject. If there is not enough love and obsession, there is no way to persevere for several years. What Chuning needs is a group of mathematicians who can persevere.

Chuning's preliminary plan is to gradually change the world with agriculture as the foundation, mathematics as the foundation, economy and finance as the starting point, and technology as the focus.

Although it is very difficult to train mathematicians and scientists, although guns/powder/cannons/heat/weapons may never be seen again in this life, but to teach a group of accountants that can be used to make money, it is very important for Chuning Much easier.

As long as you have money in your hands, why worry about having no food in the warehouse?As long as there is money and food, why worry about having no soldiers?Even if you don’t have the powerful weapons that can change the history of war, you can spend money on them. Horns/bows/crossbows, Fuyuan crossbows, heavy armor... These existing weapons are produced in large quantities, and they can be piled up with money. Send out a strong army.

"If we have a group of people who are proficient in mathematics and can improve technology, it means that we have the ability to change the world." Chuning said with emotion: "One day in the future, maybe every mu of rice field can produce a thousand catties of grain... Qing Girl, think about it, by then, there will be so much rice grain in the Central Plains, and the nomads in the grassland can get enough grain with sheep and cattle, so do they still need to rob? Will there still be wars?"

Hearing Chuning's words, Feng Jiuqing immediately thought of the sheep raising plan she had mentioned.

The author has something to say: Tiger Country - Hans the Cat, hahaha, no need to explain in detail, right?

Every time I read a book and see the war between farming peoples and nomadic peoples, I think, is there no way to resolve this kind of conflict other than using violent means to temporarily suppress it?
