Chapter 455: If You Want to Bet, Come and Bet with the Imperial Court (Part II)
Because of human greed, there will be gambling as a profession.
Human greed is the root cause of all gambling consequences.
This kind of human nature, Liu Xing is powerless to change, and he doesn't want to change anything.
If there is no greed, it is equal to no **. Without **, there will be no motivation.
To a certain extent, Liu Xing hopes that this kind of greed can be used for his own use, to drive the greedy hearts of all the people in the world to promote the development of this society, and to drive the people to be positive and make unremitting efforts to satisfy this greed.
The so-called positive energy, Liu Xing's understanding, this is actually the so-called positive energy, which gives greed, which is not good and capricious, the true meaning. Because only the formation of this so-called positive energy can really make the descendants of Yan and Huang become world leaders in today's era and restore the glory of the so-called Tang Dynasty.
Only this so-called positive energy can allow the imperial court to make more skillful efforts, instead of blindly teaching and relying on tough means to transform in order to realize the long-cherished wish of strengthening the country and enriching the people according to their own wishes.
Because the greater the force of the imperial court, it may generate negative energy and breed large-scale rebellions like Zhong Xiang and Yang Mi of the Southern Dynasty who are being used by themselves.
This troubled world should come to an end, although his plan of "trapping the Jurchens and fighting Jinzhou" has not yet been completed, but it is only a matter of time. Under such circumstances, Liu Xing did not want or allow any troublemakers such as Zhong Xiang and Yang Mi, who were constantly attacking the prefectures and counties under the rule of King Kang, to appear in the territory under his control.
Therefore, taking advantage of the situation and becoming a matter of course has become a set of practices for Liu Xing to make public lottery tickets and conform to human greed......
"Taifu, this Mark Six lottery seems to be a good deal. What is the meaning of the horse ticket lottery? ”
Just as Liu Xing's words fell. When he looked out the window again, he stopped talking thoughtfully. Liang Xing asked with interest.
Hearing his question, Liu Xing retracted his thoughts.
Nodding slightly, Liu Xing said: "That's a good question, otherwise I won't know where to go, master." ”
Sneering, Liu Xing then asked Liang Xing: "Since the Tang Dynasty and the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty in the past hundred years, why did I only parry and not fight back in the face of foreign invasions, and did not fight back, and did the feat of driving Hu for 3,000 miles like Wei Qing and Huo Quai?" ”
"The imperial court is heavy on literature and light on military force, and there is no strong horse army in the Central Plains." Liang Xingxiong safely guessed the deep meaning of Liu Xing's question. His answer was immediately spoken.
After listening to his answer, Liu Xing smiled evilly, looked at Chong Yanling, who had been sitting in front of the window drinking tea, and said, "Xiao Qi, tell me, do you think there are any other reasons?" ”
"The people's hearts are not harmonious, the people's hearts are not ancient, there are too many treacherous people and big villains like you, in order to fight for power and profit, internal friction and infighting, resulting in the people's hearts difficult to gather and scattered." Without looking at Liu Xing, Chong Yanling said her answer angrily.
Seeing that she still stubbornly thought that she was a villain, Liu Xing didn't care at all.
The more you explain, the deeper your heart is. In everything, Liu Xing believes that as long as his private visit to Bianjing City is over. When she sees the Seed Master, she will completely reveal the mystery, which will naturally make her doubts about herself completely disappear and release her previous suspicions.
Not to mention. Liu Xing also firmly believes in such a sentence: Men are not bad, why should women love......
So when Yan Ling's words were finished, Liu Xing suppressed his laughter and said, "So I want to use the fields of Northern Yan and Western Xia to buy war horses on a large scale." Of course, it is not directly used to reproduce a large number of elite cavalry in my Central Plains, but to widely promote the method of riding among the people first, and lay a solid foundation. ”
After a slight pause, Liu Xing glanced at the crowd, and then said, "So I want to build horse farms all over the country and raise a large number of war horses." Then use the horse running business, first in the folk to train a group of jockeys belonging to my Great Song Dynasty, excellent riding skills. And through those jockeys through horse racing, the love of riding was ignited among the people. ”
"So Taifu, you want to use the lottery you mentioned to attract the people, so as to prepare the large number of jockeys that will definitely appear in the future, right?" Liang Xing heard this and asked.
Nodding heavily, Liu Xing said: "Yes, no profit is not early, you and I are the same." The reason why there has been no strong cavalry in the Central Plains since the Tang Dynasty is not only that the imperial court emphasizes literature and light military force, nor is it the internal struggle of courtiers, nor is it other reasons. It was that the imperial court did not have the financial resources, which restricted the development and establishment of cavalry. ”
At this point, Liu Xing's tone became a little heavy: "It's the change of folk customs that has made the people lose their love for war horses." Therefore, I will use the greed of the people to seduce their love for the horse, and thus create the foundation for the re-establishment of a strong cavalry. ”
After a slight pause, he turned into a high-spirited and full of fighting spirit, Liu Xingdao: "With such a foundation, when the imperial court has abundant financial resources in the future, I can calmly start to build up one powerful cavalry after another belonging to my Central Plains." Then, drive Hu for 3,000 miles, crisscrossing the sky in all directions. ”
To attract the people to love horses again, to promote the Central Plains to re-possess the development of a strong cavalry foundation formation, and then to reduce the investment of the imperial court with interests, and to use private funds to help the imperial court first cultivate a large number of people who can become skilled horsemen, this is Liu Xing's first thought when he thought of the Jockey Club and thought of engaging in horse ticket lottery.
When Liu Xing said this, although Yan Ling, who was sitting in front of the window, did not speak, her expression was full of surprise and expectation when she turned her head to look at Liu Xing.
Seeing her expression, Liu Xing knew why she was happy. When the ancestor of the Chongjia family built Qingjian City in the past, the reason why he was able to win many battles was because the Chongjia army was a cavalry with extremely strong combat power at that time. It is a pity that later, due to various reasons, it became the traditional main battle unit of the Western Army with few cavalry and more infantry.
In the hearts of the seed family, there has been a dream all these years. In fact, this dream was once the common dream of Fan Zhongyan, Sima Guang, Wang Anshi and all other owners who loved the country and the nation, those in power and people of insight among the people, and those who never forgot the Han and Tang Dynasties.
This dream is to reproduce the majestic style of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and to see the magnificent scene of the war horses galloping and the cavalry fighting out of the pass on the Central Plains to expel the aliens.
For that dream, Chong Shiheng returned to the west with hatred. For that dream, Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu wrote poems and poems to awaken the people of the world, for that ideal, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi tried their best but ended up in old age.
That's because they haven't been able to think about the essence of the human heart, and they haven't been able to think about how to use the folk style to urge the cavalry to reappear. Relying solely on political means and simply counting on the Zhao and Song dynasties is not at all possible.
And now, Liu Xing's set of methods that don't seem to be very appreciative, but he can really use the folk style to urge the cavalry to reappear and plant wild goose feathers, which is naturally full of expectations.
But what Liu Xing wants, she can't know everything, I'm afraid that in this world, only the old goblin who can read minds can hear Liu Xing's heart.
"I want the Central Plains to be full of horse farms, and I want the enemies who dare to invade my Central Plains in the future to see the people's war where elite cavalry can be seen everywhere. I want to use the horse ticket lottery to build a strong military infrastructure for the imperial court. I want to make money with the horse ticket lottery to send benefits and warmth to more people who are suffering......" This is Liu Xing's heart, and only Liu Xing is now clear about his heart.
