Otherworldly Castle Era

Vol 3 Chapter 89: Layout the world

   "The king, the minister's chess game is divided into internal and external games. The external game is for foreign forces, and the internal game is for the country to make decisions." Liu Ji talked about his strategy to Yang Song.

   Yang Song thought of Li Shizhen and Zhang Juzheng who were here just now, and asked thoughtfully: "Show goodwill to the outside world and change the decision internally?"

   "More than that, this is just one of the chess pieces." After Liu Ji answered Yang Song's question, he asked instead: "The Lord just said that if you want to occupy the land outside the pass, will the people outside the pass be expelled again?"

   "That's just a little bit of ambition." Yang Song waved his hand a little embarrassedly: "Even if the land is occupied, the indigenous people cannot be assimilated, so they are useless, so they can only choose the strong and strong to work."

   Yang Song expressed his intention to expel the aborigines in the Linhai Basin at the beginning.

   "So that's true, it's true, but you can say that you consider the feelings of the people in your country?" Liu Ji understood Yang Song's thoughts, and then asked.

   "The feelings of the people in this country? What are their feelings?" Yang Song was very confused about this question, and was completely confused about what Liu Ji wanted to express.

   Liu Ji sighed and explained: "As the minister knows, many of the labors in this country are all done by the indigenous people, and the people of this country don't need to go down to mine."

   "Is there anything wrong with this?" Yang Song was even more puzzled when he heard this, before he wanted to come, is this bad? The people of Xia Guo didn't have to do those hard work.

Seeing that Yang Song hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem, Liu Ji bowed his hand and said solemnly: "The king's plan was indispensable when the people of this country were scarce, but in the long run, when these natives are exhausted, who will be responsible for these tasks? To do it?"

   "If you don't have it..." Yang Songgang was about to say that if you don't have these natives, you will catch them, but he immediately reacted. Even if there are endless natives outside, such a method of doing things is not something that a powerful nation would do.

   Xia Guo education teaches people to treat others well, but what the government does is so contrary to principles, this is not the spiritual outlook that a country should have.

   The real strength of a country requires not only strong hard power such as technology, military, and economy, but also strong soft power such as culture, spirit, and tradition.

   Yang Song doesn't want Xia Guo to become a source of chaos in the future! This is not the long-term development of the country!

   And the descendants of Yanhuang and Huang were very diligent, hard-working, and if it was his cause, he spoiled all the people, then his guilt would be serious.

   Yang Song asked his military instructor for advice: "What can Bowen do to teach me?"

   "You are not anxious, and listen to the minister!" Liu Ji saw that Yang Song knew the crux of the problem, and touched the beard of his chin with satisfaction.

"Prince Qizhen! Occupying the land outside the pass and reducing the indigenous people outside the pass is an indispensable step." After Yang Song nodded in agreement, Liu Ji continued: "If the emperor wants to reduce the population outside the pass, there are ways, such as war. And this is also an important purpose for the minister to come to see the Lord today."

   "Secondly, a war outside the customs has great benefits for the country. It can not only reduce the population, but also allow the country to develop with peace of mind." Hearing this, Yang Song nodded again.

When Liu Ji said this, he paused, as if he was sorting out his language and thoughts. In a blink of an eye, he continued: "Finally, let the forces outside the pass start a war as soon as possible, a protracted war, and his country will be in it. Play a catalytic role."

   Catalyze the war? Yang Song was very surprised when he heard this, how could the war be catalyzed?

   So Yang Song asked: "How should war be catalyzed?"

Liu Ji replied: "Going back to the emperor, the minister said before that there are lords who are both powerful and ambitious outside the Guan. The troubled times are inevitable. But at this time, the minister may not be certain, especially after the plague. The war is estimated to be far away!"

   Talking that Liu Ji was helpless for his missteps. Whoever caused a sudden plague to disrupt his calculations, now he can only plan again, but fortunately he also saw an opportunity from this disaster.

   After Liu Ji sighed in his heart, "People are not as good as heaven," and continued: "Therefore, Chenbu played the chess game to bring the forces outside the customs into chaos again, and this catalytic point is the foreign trade point outside Shanhaiguan."

   Yang Song heard that it was about the establishment of an external window, and suddenly doubts arose. Isn't this business point just for showing it to the outside world? Has it become a catalytic point for so long? He is now more and more unable to understand Liu Ji's plan!

  Looking at Yang Song's question mark, Liu Ji smiled lightly in his heart, but said solemnly on the surface: "Your Majesty, I beg your permission to reveal a piece of knowledge."

   "What knowledge?" Yang Song asked immediately. He is very curious about what knowledge is so powerful, as long as he knows it will cause chaos in the world.

   "Enlighten to the Lord! Foreign forces are an alternative system of enfeoffment. Each territory has a lord, and under the lord there are civil servants, financial officers, sheriffs, knight commanders, judges, priests and other official positions."

   Liu Ji didn't directly say what knowledge was needed, instead he talked about the system of those lords, and Yang Song probably guessed what knowledge Liu Ji was talking about.

   "With such a system, it is more than enough to manage one territory, but even if these lords occupy multiple territories, in the eyes of the minister, these lords can only be intent and powerless."

   "Therefore, the knowledge that the ministers revealed to the forces outside the pass is the ‘county system’!" Liu Ji said as he said, his eyes were cold, making Yang Song who was sitting opposite Liu Ji shudder!

   Hearing Liu Ji continued to explain: "The minister's move is to tell the foreign forces, don't be afraid that you can't manage the territory, you can expand with confidence!"

   That's it! When Yang Song heard the words "system of prefectures and counties", he knew that his guess was correct.

   But Yang Song has another question: "Tell them what does this system have to do with the business point?"

   Yang Song can’t figure out the connection between the two. Business is to show good, and the system is the method for these forces. What is the relationship between the two?

   "If an enemy tells us that there is a system that can help us, what will the Lord think?" Liu Ji guided Yang Song.

   Yang Song didn't even think about it, and said straightly, "Definitely not. You mean..."

"As the Lord said, it is not advisable for us to directly tell these forces. Then the existence of the business point is a perfect information exchange place, and it is also a place for the country to interfere with forces outside the customs!" Liu Ji was completely at this time. Point out the role of trade points.

   Yang Song thinks about it, that's how people are, and things that are easily obtained are often not cherished. Only by waiting for the intelligence information obtained by these forces through "own methods" can the lords not be more suspicious.

   Liu Ji saw that Yang Song understood the reason for this, and then confessed to Yang Song: "Although this move can stabilize Xia Guo for at least ten years, there is a malpractice that the minister must let the Lord know in advance."

   "What's the drawback?" Yang Song heard Liu Ji say that Xia Guo can be stable for more than ten years, and was very satisfied, but Liu Ji also paid attention to the drawbacks.

Liu Ji replied: "Enlighten you! Once this plan is implemented, the forces outside the customs will surely start to fight for hegemony. The forces near Shanhaiguan are okay, but farther away, the country can be beyond reach. After a few years, the northern natives will definitely One or several powerful countries are born!"

"What's the disadvantage of loneliness? If it's true, I believe that you big talents like Berwen won't do it, right?" Yang Song saw the solution to this matter at a glance. The country can beat the world!

   "Haha..., the ruler is wise, the minister can't wait!" While Liu Ji offered compliments in a timely manner, he did not refute it. This was a tacit agreement that he was a great talent.

   By this time, Yang Song also knew what Liu Ji's layout was like.

   He also knew the purpose of Liu Ji's conversation with him for so long: Liu Ji guided Yang Song's thoughts in a gradual manner.

  Because Yang Song is still a monarch after all, it would be too disrespectful to preach directly. So Liu Ji is using the method of guidance to point Yang Song.

   Liu Ji's layout is actually very simple: through the prevention and control of the epidemic outside the customs, let the foreign forces know that Xia Guo has no plans to go abroad, at this time many forces outside the customs have no more power to enter the Xia country.

   then took the opportunity to establish a trade point to let these forces know about Xia’s goodwill. With this trade point, these forces will definitely come to collect information, and Liu Ji is waiting for this opportunity.

   The output of the county system prompted it to accelerate chaos, weaken its power, reduce its population, and provide high-quality conditions for Xia’s troops.

   In fact, in addition to guiding the enemy, the commerce point can also allow Xia Guo’s goods to be dumped~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Let Xia Guo’s goods penetrate into many foreign forces, so that it can also attack the economy outside the customs.

   Knowing this, Yang Song put forward the concept of currency output to Liu Ji, Zhang Juzheng and others. Let Xia’s currency replace their original currency with the circulation of commodities.

   This concept is an important weapon of economic globalization in the past. This is Guan Ming Chia Tai's collection of seigniorage from all over the world!

   So as soon as it was proposed, the two clapped and praised, and Zhang Juzheng was ready to implement it.

   But in this way, those gold coins minted by Xia Guo are of no great use. At most, they are only used in the early stages of commerce to provide Xia Guo currency with the trust of merchants outside the customs and provide a necessary exchange guarantee.

   In the end, it was the war that broke out by the forces outside the customs. The war started a little, but it didn't mean that it would stop when it stopped. According to Yang Song's estimation, there would be no final result within decades.

   After waiting for many years, Xia Kingdom has developed and grown, but the foreign forces have been exhausted and exhausted. By then, Xia Kingdom will easily occupy a large area with thunder sweeping the hole.

   It is estimated that at that time, the land outside the customs does not know how many places will be destroyed by the war and become no man's land!

   Yang Song sighed inwardly, Liu Ji's resourcefulness is really great, and only Xia Guo's side has made the most profit in this game of chess!
