Chapter 30 Trade-offs of Merit

The consequence of war is destruction and destruction, but its purpose is profit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info individuals, ethnic groups, and even countries, and then subdividing them into generalizations of social sciences.

A war between a superpower and a regional power is either ********, with amazing interests, or ...... It is to export wars to foreign countries to cover up internal contradictions.

The purpose of the three expeditions to Goryeo of Tian Khan I is very clear, if it is just "to raise the prestige of our country" or "I Yang Guang is not explained", Goguryeo claims to be the "King of Liaodong Dung" has achieved its goal.

However, since the founding of Goguryeo, although it has imitated Middle-earth and tried its best to get rid of the influence of primitive tribes, it still cannot change the essence of "obscenity". If a country is personified, then Goguryeo is like the green skin of those Hu merchants in the west of Chang'an City.

If Lao Zhang imitates the beauty Xi 1,500 years later, he will probably get a "rogue country" hat and wear it to Goguryeo.

However, the Sui and Tang dynasties were not beauties, and since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the way of Middle Earth has often been to "rejuvenate the king" and levy "injustice".

As for the return of some barbarian native products to the DPRK by the way...... Don't worry about these details.

Lao Tzu eats a few melons from you, and you have to give money?!

For the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, if the finances are stretched, or the sluts who are dragging their feet, such as those with five surnames and seven hopes, are not satisfied, it is not good that Li Dong, as the leader of the company, will have to drive the expedition in person. Then on the way to the royal conquest, you have to keep an eye on Chang'an and Shandong, to see if the people in the capital are ready to move, to see if the prince wants to imitate Li Jiancheng, and to see if the Shandong scholars have given up treatment.

To the surprise of the Shandong scholars and the upstarts and even Li Dong himself, from the hard days of Zhenguan in 123 years to the 5678 years of Zhenguan's spending money, it was like a dream.

The cash flow of the foreign dynasty is not to say how abundant, but it is more than enough to support a war to destroy the country.

According to Li Dong's estimate, even if 5 million pieces of wealth and grain are destroyed at one time, this local war will still be earned.

In the past, it may not have been profitable, but in the seventh year of Zhenguan, there was a large shortage of labor, so that the slave trade alone could make 120 million yuan from human blood. Even the warrior Tong, who has always been low-key, gritted his teeth in the land of Jingzhou and imported three or four thousand three Korean slave laborers from Suzhou.

It takes fifteen years to train a labor force that can make use of it. Fifteen years is too long for the nobles and the emperor, and even the various people involved in strange and sneaky and upright business activities.

10,000 years is too long.

The engineering dog used to think that only revolutionaries would be regarded as Guigao, but where did he know that this feudal lord and bureaucratic capital were also seizing the day. One step later, it was wiped out by others.

Bureaucratic capitalism, the worst form in the world, is the most ugly, exploitative, and cruel moral code. Even the emperor himself, even if he is as eloquent as Li Shimin, can only stare dryly, and dare not make a mistake.

Why? Bureaucratic capital puts on the court clothes, it is an official, it is a scholar and doctor on behalf of the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, even if the emperor wants to kill, it is the foundation of self-destruction, in this world, after all, the emperor relies on the aristocracy to maintain the rule. However, as soon as the bureaucratic capital takes off the court clothes, it is the people, and the eldest grandson queen is so powerful, if she wants to find a place that can fight the autumn wind, it is nothing more than the East Palace, nothing more than her own son, nothing more than Zhang De, the nephew of a relative's family. If she wants to attack Li Jing, Li Ji, or Wei Chigong, Cheng Zhijie, or even the eldest grandson Wuji, what greets her is "the comet in the sky is really bright", and the worst thing is that it is also the black pot of "competing with the people for profit" and "crippling the people and harming the people".

Mo said that the eldest grandson Wujian is just a queen, that is, to change her husband, this pot, when she flies over, she will immediately throw her hand to others.

Zhenguan Dynasty, at the moment, with a little bit of imperialism, with a little bit of classical militarism, mixed with strange feudal landlords and aristocratic capitalists, because of a large amount of raw material consumption and rapid development, those contradictions, are covered up under the astonishing speed of development.

And with the victory after victory on the front line, the concept of "Huaxia", which already had the privilege of primitive nationalism, is boiling like an oil pot at this moment, and it is almost a fire to burst open, scalding to death and scalding those barbarians who dare to offend "Tianwei" at this moment.

This is true of the Khitan, the same is true of the Xi people, and the same is true of Goguryeo.

The engineering dog who is still in the capital is like reading a slow-burning cool article, and the author is Hou Junji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and his meaningless "good news" is foreshadowing, when the visitors are dull and boring, there is suddenly a big news, which completely makes Chang'an City spring like summer, scorching heat.

"Great victory! Great victory! Great victory—"

The sound of horses' hooves is quickly brushed, and it can be heard outside the Wuzhuang Temple.

Qin Qiong took a deep breath and looked at Zhang De with a fierce look: "Da Lang, Liaodong City is really ...... in a battle."

He thought for a while: "My Datang is more powerful than the former Sui!" ”

The 300,000 regular soldiers did not defeat Liaodong, and Xiaoguo Ruishi died one stubble after another, although Yang Guang wanted to consume the gate lord ancestor in that war, but he did not win, not to mention embarrassment, but he also ended his imperial expedition in disgrace.

Today, casualties are minimal, and most of them are non-combat attrition in bad weather. Most of the casualties in the frontal battle were probing and confrontation between scouts, and the losses of the Xiang army were less than 200.

Although the good news is not very detailed, Hou Junji still mentioned Wang Xiaotong, the irreplaceability of the genius of arithmetic in this battle to break the city, which made the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs honored.

"I don't know how many prisoners will be sacrificed."

Zhang De poured Qin Qiong a cup of tea, and Qin Qiong, who seemed to be unable to vent his feelings, stood up suddenly, the pressure given by his height of more than two meters, accompanied by his clenched fists and two fierce waves, was very impactful.

"It's hateful that I can't fight side by side with Hongshen!"

He sighed, and then said, "Before the navy moves, the battle will be successful, but I am afraid that the Goryeo slaves will flee from the wind." At least they will flee all the way to Yalu Water. ”

"The boats on the sea are busy selling Liaodong products, and I am afraid that they will not move for a while."

Liaodong products, the best thing to sell is people. Because of the improvement of the silk reeling machine, the production efficiency of raw silk has been greatly improved. At the same time, because of the improvement of production efficiency, the original scale of silkworm breeding has basically reached the limit. Because at this moment, even in Suzhou, there are not a small number of silkworms, which are still wild species, and the small size leads to small cocoons, and small cocoons lead to less silk.

The reason for this is still because the problem of silkworm houses wintering cannot be solved for most farmers.

The amount of silk produced by individual silkworms is extremely limited.

And Zhang De's new-style silkworm house in Henan Province, Hebei Province, and the silkworm land circled down in Huainan Province, are waiting for this moment.

This is a chain reaction, when production increases, reproduction expands, and a lot of labor has to be required. And these laborers, relying on the current Tang people alone is not enough, for the factory owners and the magnates of Chang'an, let them wait for the teenagers and girls to grow up to work, such a cost is too high, it is better to grab it directly.

Robbing a Japanese slave and a Silla maid, the cost is only fifty times.

And from the Tang people, the salary is converted, and the place where the salary in Suzhou is high, you can buy an obedient Silla maid in two months.

"Alas, Fengzhou Xiao'er, let him pick up the cheap."

Qin Qiong sighed, then thought of Li Ji and Zhang Gongjin, and suddenly said, "That's fine, so as not to ...... Your Majesty."

To stop speaking is to stop talking.

Lao Zhang saw that his thoughts were confused, and comforted: "There is no reward, the way to perish." Uncle Shi should not worry about this. ”

"That's right."

Qin Qiong nodded, thinking of Li Ji's merits, coupled with their backgrounds, as well as the sequelae of the Xuanwu Sect, and Li Dong, who was a little sensitive because of the legitimacy of the throne, he could only hope that Hou Junji, an old bastard, would have a great merit over the sky......
