Profiteering is indeed profiteering, there is nothing wrong with it, business originally existed for profit, if it were not for profit, business would not have developed, once the power of commerce developed to a certain extent, economic interests and the political interests of political groups conflicted, and the bourgeois revolution came into being.

Today's Tang Dynasty, even the Song Dynasty's citizen class has not yet been produced, let alone the bourgeoisie, the first milestone representative of the development of commercial power is the abolition of the curfew by political groups, allowing free business operations, no mayors, no special location restrictions, etc., but out of concern about the problems brought about by the excessive development of commercial power, Suning did not consider the issue of commercial reform for the time being, first took the Western Turks as a pilot, and then looked at the situation.

Therefore, all the energy of the newly-born Zongheng Division was devoted to the affairs of the Western Turks, and at the same time, because of the overall takeover of the Zongheng Division, there was no quarrel and hustle and bustle in the court, and His Majesty Li Erxi felt that the existence of the Zongheng Division and the so-called division of labor by Suning were very good, and the Zongheng Division was given greater power - to be fully responsible for the work of the Western Turks.

This is a rare part of the power to others, this is a very good phenomenon, and when the revival of the hundred schools of thought, you can use more experts to obtain more power, vigorously decentralize power, the benefits of the revival of the hundred schools of thought will be clear at a glance, and the existence of the vertical and horizontal division will be more necessary and more advanced.

The uncivilized barbaric land of the Western Turks actually had no commercial value, but there was still economic and strategic value. The so-called economic value is a large area of grassland with abundant water and grass, which can provide a large number of war horses for the Tang Dynasty, increase the cavalry strength of the Tang Dynasty, and whether it can have a military advantage over the nomads, mainly depends on the cavalry, the cavalry is strong, and the nomads can be pressed on the ground to fight, if the cavalry is weak, they can only be pressed on the ground by the nomads, which is the experience brought by the Tang Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty.

This was the case before the gunpowder weapon was not yet perfected. But at this stage. It's not difficult to get Suning to make ordinary gunpowder, it's easy to get, but that kind of low-level power is really difficult to apply to the military, maybe it can be used to open mountains and rocks to increase the speed of road construction. But it needs to be used militarily. That's not enough. When used on the battlefield, it must be used to give heads to other cavalry, and even bows and arrows and trebuchets are not as good.

Suning has no experience at all, and he can't find it on the god machine. It seems that it can only look at the creation, if it can stimulate people's inventive power, it would be good, after all, high-grade gunpowder is also invented by people step by step, one step to the sky, there is always a need for some opportunities, Suning has a lot of opportunities, if you want more, it is also a little unrealistic.

As for the strategic value, that is, the control of the Western Turks over the countries of the Western Regions, since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty's control over the Western Regions has weakened, and the Eastern Han Dynasty has fallen, until the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, this control is only on the surface, and it can never return to the Banchao era, so that when the power of the Tang Dynasty re-marches to the Western Regions decades later, it is facing the Western Regions that are completely different from hundreds of years ago.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, a hundred battles will not be defeated, the Tang Dynasty of another world in the Western Regions because of the lack of understanding of the Western Regions, the mind stayed in the Han Dynasty, so it suffered a lot, and even failed in the battle of Hengrus, lost the opportunity to penetrate Central Asia, there is also a plateau greedy wolf Tubo in the tiger eyeing the rich Western Regions, so in order to know more about the control of the Western Regions, master the entire Silk Road, trade with the West, open the vision of the Tang people, and promote the development of the entire Tang Dynasty, then it is necessary to master the Western Turks, With the help of the vision of the Western Turks, they are invincible.

Suning enthusiastically told Du Ruhui about the intention of Zonghengsi's move, and Du Ruhui looked at Suning's eyes more and more satisfied and surprised, for this reason, he looked at Suning like this.

Not to mention anything else, Suning's vision and long-term perspective are enough to make up for his lack of military ability, Du Ruhui believes that although Suning is still lacking in military ability, but he has not received Confucian education since he was a child, his thinking is completely aggressive and aggressive, and many decision-making figures in Datang, Suning is not pedantic, does not care about fame, but cares more about real benefits, and is relative to the entire Datang, by no means he alone or his friends, the starting point of his decision-making is Datang, It's all Datang.

His value in formulating national strategies is much higher than the value of his battlefield, Datang has no shortage of fierce generals, no shortage of famous generals, and even no lack of commanders, nor lack of young generation of rookies, since the establishment of the military university, the strength of the army has been well guaranteed and inherited, a new generation of military generals is thriving, a new generation of generals led by Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance has emerged, and Suning's military ability and they are actually on a par at present, even in the military, The development of Xue Rengui and others will be even better than Suning.

But on the issue of national strategic decision-making, Suning has a vision beyond ordinary people and insight into the wood, often can think about a problem in a way that ordinary people can't imagine, and never brings completely different views, and these views are often ignored by previous decision-makers, but there must be a lot of interests in it, otherwise people like Suning will not care.

Just like the Western Turks this time, what others care about is whether the Western Turks can surrender, whether they can pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, whether the two countries can live in peace without war, obtain more prisoners to promote labor reform, and win time for the development of the Tang Dynasty, and nothing else matters; But Suning didn't think so, what he was thinking about was how to get the most benefits by controlling the Western Turks, and even through the foundation laid down by the Western Turks, the power of the Tang Dynasty was extended to the countries of the Western Regions that had been lost for hundreds of years, and even further west, where the Great Food and Great Qin Kingdom were located in the past, those places were only recorded in books, and we didn't even know anything about them.

As a result, when our eyes were still limited to one Western Turk, Suning had already begun to formulate a plan for the Great Eclipse and the Great Qin and even more Western, and used the knowledge he had learned from the masters. Taught to other potential young officials of the Zongheng Division, they tried their best to influence them, these people hated Confucianism, and had a good impression of the academic classic "Guiguzi" of the Zongheng family, so that at this stage, a considerable number of young Zongheng family members have begun to read the Western Regions materials left by the brothers of the original class, and began to draw a map of the Western Regions, doing their best to understand and familiarize themselves with the real situation of the Western Regions, and preparing to attack the Western Regions.

Suning's gaze is based on the present at the same time, and it is moving farther away, and the excellent ministers can see the situation of the entire Tang Dynasty ten years later. And Suning sees it a hundred years later. For Datang, getting a Suning who formulates strategic and tactical strategies is far stronger than getting a famous marshal Suning who is invincible on the battlefield. And not a celebrity. Meantime. Suning should be given enough apprentices to accept his knowledge, because his knowledge is definitely not limited to the Zongheng family, and the greatest hope for reviving the hundred schools to fight against the Shandong family. It's on Suning's body.

With such an idea, Du Ru secretly wrote a recital and handed it to Li Er's Majesty in person, without handing it over to other departments, and when Li Er's Majesty saw this complete recital, he was obviously very satisfied: "Du Aiqing looks at things and sees talents and calls him a thorough, so Du Aiqing can make a decision in the shortest possible time, and sometimes, I have to rely on Du Aiqing to make a choice for me, and now, this is another very good choice." ”

Du Ruhan said with a smile: "The minister just thinks that such a ghost can be protected in the army, but it can't be used to the greatest extent, Suning's best ability is not the art of war, but the vision, what he is doing now is to lay the foundation for the future, only after doing the current thing, he can do more things on this basis."

It's like labor reform, if labor reform is completed, then the world can be exempted from forced labor, not only is it an unprecedented merit, but also for the Tang Dynasty to obtain a large number of troops and labor in the field, the existing population to the extreme, rather than simply encouraging childbirth, increasing the population, he thinks that more people are good things, but more people, more food, it is very easy to have a shortage of food famine, once a famine occurs, then people will die a lot, everything has to start from scratch, rather than such a vicious circle, it is better to find the cause from the source, Resolved. ”

Li Er nodded his head: "So where does Suning think the source is?" ”

Du Ruhui said: "He didn't say it explicitly, just said that he was trying to solve this problem, he himself didn't know this very thoroughly, rash action will only bring disaster, this problem is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, we have to be cautious, everything must be tried first, see how the situation is, and then change, otherwise everything will become very bad." ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded approvingly: "This is the quality of a national soldier, it seems that I still buried him, but he himself is bent on drilling into the army and is unwilling to hold a position in the court, which I can't do with him." ”

Du Ruhan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what is Suning suitable for, Your Majesty must know better than the ministers, logically speaking, under the rule of Ming Jun, it must be politically fluent, and everyone can give full play to their abilities, don't think about the problem of Mu Xiu in the forest, but why do people in the world think that Mu Xiu in the forest will be destroyed now?" And he will definitely do things that the wood shows in the forest and the wind will destroy it, so that Suning must learn to protect himself rather than govern the country at a young age.

Your Majesty, Suning is the prime minister's talent, with his talent, if he gets a good experience and protection, the five ministers are not as good as him, but how to protect him when he has not grown to that point, give him the best experience, it is not what the minister should consider, but what His Majesty should consider. ”

After Du Ruhui left for a long time, Li Er's majesty was still staring at the twist and turn and was silent, not moving, not speaking, and not drinking water, which made Zhao Chen beside him very worried, but fortunately, it didn't take too long, Li Er's majesty chuckled, stood up by himself, and said softly something that seemed to be talking to himself......

Indeed, Su Xianggong sounds better than Su Houye, boy, see where you can go......

Suning naturally couldn't hear this, and he didn't have the heart to listen to this sentence, all his thoughts were spent on the affairs of the Zongheng Division, and now everything is going smoothly, and the most difficult aspects of the court have been solved, as for the caravan problem of those families who are good friends, the problem is almost discussed, more than 20 families are willing to send their own caravans to make money in business in the Western Turks, this is already a foregone conclusion, and now the only problem is that the private businessmen are not very enthusiastic about this matter, so that the Zongheng Division has posted a notice for five days, Not a single private shop came to apply, only a few people came to ask about the specifics, and then quickly left, not applying.

This matter is a headache for Suning, without the participation of the people, how to conduct the experiment? Without the participation of private businessmen, how can the development of private commerce be promoted? That's a problem...... (To be continued......)
