Chapter Seventy-Five: The Ruler's Mind

What is the most valuable thing on the vast Gobi Desert?

Nature is human!

However, most of the people who have this opinion are the heroes of the first generation, and the most recent one seems to be only Tie Xinyuan himself.

More kings know that the people are the basis of their rule, but they are unscrupulous and self-enriching.

Tie Xinyuan didn't dare to expect the emergence of such good things as talents, and only hoped that the Hami area would become a densely populated place.

When there are more people, all industries will naturally prosper, which does not even need to be deliberately promoted by the government, just people's own needs are enough to maintain a huge market and make it thriving.

The superior is just a coordinator and guide, and the rest of the things can be done well by the people themselves.

It's just strange that it is often those who have the final say to be parasitic on the people, and how unfair it is.

Tie Xinyuan really wants to act as this parasite!

The black heels exposed under the reed mat were sad to look at, and Tie Xinyuan thought that the more such laborers, the better. There are more people working, which is very conducive to accumulating social wealth.

As for the nobles and rulers on the high, they can kill as many as they can, and if they can die early, don't live indiscriminately, the more such people die, the lighter the burden on the people!

It may sound a little ruthless, but it is a real truth, every emperor, or every ruler, regards the streamlining of the army as his top priority, regardless of race and country.

These questions may seem contradictory, and if you think about it, it is clear that a parasite does not allow a healthy body to have more parasites to deprive himself of more blood and sweat from others.

And the parasite and the parasitic are inherently enemies, and the contradictions between the two are simply irreconcilable.

No matter how many wise kings and benevolent prime ministers have appeared in history, they still have the same purpose as the stupid kings and greedy prime ministers, that is, to find ways to exploit the blood and sweat of the people.

People can't just like mosquitoes because they suck two mouthfuls of their own blood, because they don't feel pain in their bodies when they suck blood.

In fact, it is not difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, except for a few foolish emperors in history, none of the rest of the emperors are fools, don't they understand such a simple truth?

It's not that they don't understand, but they are deliberately pretending to be stupid, and no one is willing to give up the opportunity to absorb more people's fat and ointment from the people.

After Tie Xinyuan suddenly figured out this truth, he felt that there was a bright light in front of him, and only after understanding all these things and truths could he come up with the best way to suck other people's blood without being hated by others.

Only by understanding people can you become a good emperor, and Li Shimin is undoubtedly a person who understands.

"Water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat" This sentence is very clear, so he is not willing to infringe on the interests of the people too much until he dies all his life, even if he imprisons his father, kills his brother, kills his brother, kills his wife, kills his son, kills his daughter, kills his son-in-law, kills his minister, and even Wei Zheng and other courtiers were dug up by him and whipped his corpse, and did all kinds of evil things, but he was recited by the people as an emperor through the ages, why not?

He rarely kills people!

Through this example, Tie Xinyuan found that killing some nobles is not a big deal, no one cares!

After Meng Yuanzhi and Xu Dongsheng heard Tie Xinyuan tell this truth, their faces were not very good.

They found that once the founding of the country was successful, they were the kind of nobles who deserved to be stabbed.

"You should have said these things when we were about to be beheaded, it is not appropriate to say them now!" Xu Dongsheng, who had just come back, had a gloomy face.

"The word "I" in this refers to you, Lao Meng, and our current group of people, not just me!"

Meng Yuanzhi shook his head and said: "It's too early to say this, and you still have the possibility of revealing the secret of heaven, if you want to be the emperor, we must at least have a country to become it."

As Lao Xu said just now, Yelu Chongyuan does not allow us to build a country, but only allows us to rule Hami under the banner of Khitan. ”

"Then promise him what suffix can be written on the document to the Khitans, and for places other than the Khitan, we will call them Hami Kingdom!

After a few years of talking to Yelu Chongyuan, when our strength is strong, he himself will call us Hami Kingdom! ”

"Not called Khotan?"

"That's our self-proclaimed name for the Great Song Emperor, this can't be messed up, once it is messed up, it will be in big trouble."

Xu Dongsheng sighed and said: "I have figured it out, you plan to call yourself the Hami Commander when you deal with the Khitans, and call yourself Khotan when you deal with the Song people, but I don't know what you will call when you deal with Western Xia, Qingtang, Qarakhanid, and Uighur kings in the future?" ”

"It's all about the heart!"

"Understood, it's just whichever name is good for us, right?"

Tie Xinyuan smiled: "It doesn't matter what others call us, one day we will come to the door and tell them what our name is."

Building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming kings are the national policies formulated by others for a clay-legged hero, and I think it is very meaningful for reference.

If we were in the interior of the Great Song Dynasty, where there were many people, there would be no need for a vague name of the country to attract the homeless, and I would rather bear the title of a horse thief until I attacked the city of Tokyo.

The Western Regions are different, no one dares to take the initiative to take refuge in horse thieves, they will only go to a country, so they have to install a country name casually, anyway, the country in the Western Regions is not very valuable, it is very casual to appear today and not tomorrow. ”

Meng Yuanzhi hated listening to people discuss these questions that he couldn't figure out, so he shook his head and asked Xu Dongsheng to cut his meat.

Xu Dongsheng looked at Meng Yuanzhi painfully, had already eaten most of the green garlic in the pot, muttered, and then began to cut the meat with a knife.

Tie Xinyuan grabbed the noodles and threw them into the soup pot, and after a while, the pot was full of white lasagna and lamb slices that curled up when they encountered hot water.

The green garlic was directly thrown into the pot and scalded, and it was green and happy, Meng Yuanzhi scooped up a large pot of noodles and mutton and green garlic for himself, and ate it very happily.

A lot of things that are not suitable for ordinary words, and only when they say it on such an occasion, others will not mind, there is a pot of mutton in the middle of the three big men, and two jars of good wine, basically there will be nothing dirty.

What you say before you have eaten and drunk is basically, and you will only talk about business when you are full of wine and food.

"There are a lot of people in Liao, we need people, we have to find a way to get these people who don't seem to be needed in Liaoguo to us."

Tie Xinyuan put down his chopsticks and burped before clicking on the theme.

Meng Yuan smiled and said: "It's simple, as long as Lao Xu gets them a pot of mutton, I guarantee that they will follow you to the end of the cape." ”

Xu Dongsheng directly ignored Meng Yuanzhi's nonsense, knocked on the table and said: "You can test it, Yelu Chongyuan is even more enthusiastic than us about opening a restaurant, and his proposal to let his people manage the restaurant was rejected by me, on the grounds that the restaurant will do some dirty work and black work in the future, and it will be harmful and useless to involve him!"

So Nerugu offered to be in control of him, and I agreed, symbolically asking Yelu for a gold coin.

We have made such a big concession in this matter, there is no reason why he should not help us in the matter of the outcasts.

If this matter of the displaced people is done well, our relationship with Yelu Chongyuan will be stable, and in the future, the control will be in our hands, so we can't help us. ”

Meng Yuanzhi, who was immersed in the soup, raised his head and looked at Xu Dongsheng and said, "In the past, when you were in the Great Song Dynasty, you dragged many officials into the water step by step, right?" ”

Xu Dongsheng said with a smile: "It's just the ability to make a living, as long as it's not the emperor, the officials will be bound by some rules, and he is destined to not be able to do anything like us barefoot."

When Nerugu finds that the restaurant is very useful, he will consciously or unconsciously do something out of the ordinary, and after he finishes the out-of-line thing, we will use the greater interest to ask him to do something more out of line, and generally after a few reincarnations, they will have no room to turn back. ”

Meng Yuanzhi nodded and said: "In the future, after I become a general, the merchants will break their legs first when they enter the door, and then throw them out, listening to you say this, I found that there is no good bird among them." ”

Tie Xinyuan picked a thumbs up and said: "If you want to be at the mercy of others, don't accept their so-called kindness from the beginning." ”

After messing around with the two traitors for a long time, Meng Yuanzhi found that he had become much smarter, and he used to think that strong force was the most powerful weapon in history, but now, he finally understood why the generals of the Great Song Dynasty were so miserable by those civil servants, and it was even more painful to kill people with soft knives.

Xu Dongsheng said with a smile: "Things may change when we go to the Great Song Dynasty, and I am afraid that I will not be able to leave Xijing in a short period of time." ”

Tie Xinyuan nodded and said, "The matter of sending people to Hami is very important, especially skilled farmers are very important to us. It's best to drag the family with a mouth, don't be a single! ”

Xu Dongsheng nodded and said: "There is no tie, God knows who was in the past, with a tie, even if it is meticulous, the old man is sure to educate him into a submissive people!"

Fifteen days later, the Khitan Emperor worshipped the heavens at Longshou Mountain in the west of Xijing, preparing to welcome the return of the southern wild goose to the north, what should we do? ”

Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "Naturally, everything is only the head of the Horse Head!" It is the people who are our leaders. ”

Xu Dongsheng said with a smile: "Please Yelu Chongyuan order Xijing to stay behind and expel the displaced people in the city to clean up the law and order in Xijing, what do you think?" ”

Tie Xinyuan laughed and said, "If you don't have enough food to house these homeless people, you are a great villain who killed countless homeless people alive!" ”

Xu Dongsheng nodded and said: "Xijing is vast and sparsely populated, and it is located in the plain, there are many rivers here that are convenient for irrigation, and last year was another bumper year, and there is no shortage of food, but it is not in the hands of the people."

I have asked grain merchants, as long as you have money, you can have as much grain as you want, if you only buy old grain, the price is cold! (To be continued.) )
