Chapter 573: This Is My Son?
"Han Qi went crazy."
Zhi Kexing carried the wine jug around Shen An's side, and on the opposite side, Wen Xiaozhong was moving his body.
"What madness is he doing?"
Wen Xiaozhong's physical recovery ability made everyone envious, and when he looked dying, he was now able to fight a set of boxing techniques.
Zhi Kexing pondered this set of boxing techniques for a while, then bowed his head slightly to express his appreciation, and said: "The forbidden army in Beijing was kicked and practiced by him, and he also said that he would not live for a few years, even if he got the name of a rebel, he had to train the army well." ”
"He's the prime minister. It is not a good thing that the prime minister and the military are too close, but it can also be seen from this that Han Qi is urgent. ”
Shen An smiled: "This is a good thing, but the army is not just a drill...... blindly practice without being distracted, and in the end it is still strong on the outside and dry in the middle. ”
"I want to hear about it!"
Zhao Zhongjun slipped out, and when he saw and heard that Xiao Chong's boxing skills were sharp, he wanted to learn a thing or two. But before that, he wanted to hear Shen An's analysis.
Shen An thought of the strong armies in the future, and felt that the current army was tangible and godless: "The army is first in thought, and we must first let the soldiers know why they are fighting." For example, what the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty want to fight for, you have to say it, so that the soldiers are convinced, and when they hear it, they will scream, and they can't wait to fight immediately. ”
"No soul!"
Shen An shook his head and said: "The Liao army is used to being the boss, and it has an inherent advantage. The Tangut people were located in the northwest, barren and poor, surrounded by enemies, and had to sleep with long knives at night. These are the reasons for why we are fighting, and they are engraved in the hearts of every soldier. They have a reason, what is the reason of Da Song? ”
Zhao Zhongjun said without hesitation: "The foreign enemies of the Great Song Dynasty are strong. ”
Shen An nodded: "The Liao people, the Western Xia, and Jiaozhi, the enemies of the Great Song Dynasty are very strong, but why should the soldiers fight for the country?" Why? ”
Zhi Kexing sighed: "The status of the martial artist is low, and he regards himself as a livestock, where does the soul come from. ”
Zhao Zhongjun said thoughtfully: "The army must have a soul......
"That's right."
Shen An instilled this concept in him, expecting him to support military reform after he ascended the throne: "An army must have a soul, that is, faith. For example, for the Great Song Dynasty to expand its territory. Our land is not enough to cultivate, so we have to use a long knife to seize arable land for the Great Song Dynasty, and seize rivers and mountains......"
Zhao Zhongjun lowered his eyes slightly, and muttered: "The land of the Great Song Dynasty is not enough to cultivate, and no one has come up with a solution to it, and ...... is seized with a long knife."
He forgot to find Wen Xiaozhong to practice, and hurriedly returned to the palace to find his father.
Zhao Zongshi reads books.
After he entered the palace, Zhao Zhen asked someone to send a lot of books. Most of these books are the secret treasures of the palace, and there are some secrets and emperors in them.
This is a form of education for the imperial lineage.
Hearing the hurried footsteps, Zhao Zongshi put down the book, took a sip of the teacup, and was tired between his eyebrows: "I came back after leaving the palace, but is there something?" ”
Zhao Zhongjun saluted, and then said: "Daddy, the land of the Great Song Dynasty was enough in the first emperor, and the farmers had fields to plant, but now that the population is increasing, the fields in the world are still the same, and more and more of those farmers are bankrupt...... In the long run, the child thinks it is not a good thing. ”
"Isn't it a good thing!"
Zhao Zongshi said lightly: "Farmers must have fields to plant, the Great Song Dynasty does not inhibit annexation, and many of those farmers who have lost their land have entered the city, and most of them are working, which is also suitable." ”
This was a disguised drive of the peasants into the city.
Zhao Zhongjun said a little puzzled: "Daddy, if there is not enough land, there will not be enough food...... At that time, the higher authorities will increase taxes and levy more grain...... The life of those farmers will become more and more difficult. ”
It's a vicious circle!
"If the peasant households can't survive, they will borrow, and the usury will roll over, and eventually most of them will go bankrupt, and then the land will be taken away by the gentry...... Many of the gentry never paid taxes, so the amount of grain collected each year would be less and less...... Just continue like this, Daddy, how many years can the world of the Great Song Dynasty suffer? ”
Historically, by the time of Huizong, the commerce of the Great Song Dynasty was highly developed, but because of taxes, agriculture was in dire straits. As a result, smoke broke out everywhere, and the scale of the rebellion became larger and larger......
The collapse of any empire must start from within, and the Great Song Dynasty was no exception.
There were more and more internal problems, but Huizong was content with himself, and was finally plundered to the north by the rising Jin people and became a slave.
Zhao Zongshi frowned and said, "It's unfounded! ”
Don't think they're stupid, in this day and age, living by inertia is king.
From the Han and Tang dynasties to the present, emperors have occasional ambitions, but most of them are passable.
The narrowness of their horizons leads them to feel that these problems cannot be solved, and they can only get by.
But Zhao Zhongjun and Shen An have been together for many years, and under the influence of day and night, they feel that this kind of thinking is really unacceptable.
"Daddy, the population of the Great Song Dynasty will only increase, what if you can't support so many people when the time comes?"
Zhao Zongshi picked up the book again and said lightly: "Didn't Shen An get that Jin Fei Dan?" Officials are also paying attention. ”
Zhao Zhen seems to be careless, but the issue of food security has always been a major concern for him.
"That won't last many years!"
Unless there is a major catastrophe, such as an epidemic, the population will only grow. And the increase in grain production is limited, and eventually it will return to that endless cycle.
Zhao Zongshi put down the book again, looked at his eldest son, and smiled: "Then what do you say?" ”
In his opinion, young people are eager, but they lack long-term planning and short-sightedness.
"Go outside and ask for it."
"Going outside?"
Zhao Zongshi frowned and said, "Where do you want it?" How? ”
The palace maids and chamberlains in the hall were all looking at Zhao Zhongjiao, feeling that this young man's body suddenly stood upright, as if he wanted to destroy something.
"Daddy, children often read history, and when they see those barbarians living a difficult life, they think about what they should do."
This is reading history, and even substituting it.
This son is good, and he has grown a lot.
Zhao Zongshi smiled slightly, and the feeling of someone in the successor made him a little nervous.
"The children found that their choices were almost all plunder......"
Belch......
The smile on Zhao Zongshi's face dissipated.
He looked at his high-spirited son and thought to himself, why is there something murderous in this?
No one has ever counted these things, and no one has ever raised this question, so as soon as Zhao Zhongjun brought it up, Zhao Zongshi was stunned.
Outside the hall, Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao stood on the side. Zhao Zhen waved his hand and signaled not to report.
"They can't survive anymore, and their first thought is to go outside to find food, not to fight inside. I almost killed my own people, and the remaining fields were just enough to plant, so I slowly recovered, and the population slowly recovered ......"
Zhao Zhongjun clenched his fists and said with blazing eyes: "But in a few decades, these problems will appear again." Daddy, where did the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the former Han Dynasty come from? The child thought that it was because of the increasing population, but there was only so much land, and in the end, the people who had no land to plant could only rise up and use knives and guns to find a way to live for themselves......"
Is this my son?
Zhao Zongshi was stunned, and the book was casually thrown on the table by him.
Empress Cao outside was shocked, so she looked at Zhao Zhen.
These words are alluding to the situation in the Great Song Dynasty today.
Will the officials be angry?
She could only see Zhao Zhen's side face.
This side face is very indifferent.
"The military system of the former Tang Dynasty was corrupted, why? It's also because there's not enough land...... Those government soldiers should have given Xuntian as a rule, but the land was occupied, where was the land to be rewarded? As a result, the government military system naturally could not be maintained, and later the conscription system was used. Recruiting troops is good, but it makes those generals become feudal towns and become powerful parties, and their ambitions naturally increase. ”
Zhao Zhongyao's face was a little red, and he felt that he was on the tower of Xuande Gate, shouting at the world.
"Yu Yang Mo came agitatedly, and broke the song of neon clothes and feathers, what is the root cause? The incompetence of the emperor, the incompetence of the courtiers, Wen Tian and Wu Xi. The powerful are greedy, and the gentry are vicious...... The people of the world are suffering from poison, but the root cause is still the lack of land! ”
"The magnates and gentry took the land by cunning, but it had to be cultivated. Therefore, when mergers are at their most intense, they are often the most populous. At this time, as long as the people can have a bite to eat, they will be obedient and obedient......"
"But when there's nowhere to eat, Daddy, do you know what's going to happen?"
Zhao Zhongjun sighed: "Rebellion, since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang raised their arms in Daze Township, there has been no shortage of rebellions in the Central Plains. The former Han dynasty declined and died in rebellion, and so did the former Tang dynasty...... After the large-scale rebellion, the Han and Tang dynasties declined, and then survived, but it was just to make people laugh. ”
This is my son!
Zhao Zongshi smiled with satisfaction,
Regardless of whether Zhao Zhongjun's words were right or wrong, just because he could say these words, Zhao Zongshi felt that the next generation in the clan was unmatched.
When children have a chance, the happiest are their parents.
The palace maids in the palace were also happy in their hearts, for them, the more stable the position of Zhao Zongshi's father and son, the better their future life would be.
The atmosphere in the hall gradually relaxed, Zhao Zongshi got up, and just wanted to speak, he glanced at Zhao Zhen outside out of the corner of his eye.
"Daddy."
Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, but his eyes looked at Zhao Zhongjiao.
He walked in slowly, waved his hand and refused Zhao Zongshi's concession, stared at Zhao Zhongjun and asked, "Who taught you these?" ”
His gaze was cold, and there was an unknown meaning in it.
The emperor cannot be controlled by others, this is a big taboo!
He is a tragedy himself, so he feels painful about this, and hopes that the next generation will get out of this strange circle.
Zhao Zongshi's heart tightened, but he didn't dare to hint that his son should be careful.
Zhao Zhongyun didn't seem to know the meaning of these words, and said very purely: "These words were figured out by the minister himself. ”
"Figured out?"
Zhao Zhen didn't want to care about Zhao Zhongjun not calling himself a grandson, but he wanted to know what was behind this matter.
"Yes."
Zhao Zhongjun said: "Miscellaneous science does not seek to talk about it, it wants data, and everything must be spoken with data...... Data is ...... For example, from the founding year of the Great Song Dynasty to the current annual income, as long as you list these annual incomes, you can know whether the development of the Great Song Dynasty is upward or stagnant......"
This is good!
Zhao Zhen nodded.
"In the past, ministers mainly read history to see the rise and fall, focusing on the monarchs and ministers, and neglected to find the causes. Later, I learned miscellaneous studies, and gradually I liked to find the roots. But what is the reason for the rise and fall of the country? The minister couldn't help but want to explore. ”
……
The first one is sent, and it's the end of the month, so ask for a monthly pass!
