"Why are we fighting?" Uncle Li frowned, a little unhappy, but he still answered my question patiently again: "Of course, we are fighting for the country and country of the Han Dynasty."

I shook my head: "No, Emperor Wu of Han once said: It's not too late to take revenge in nine generations. What does this mean? He is taking revenge. Yes, revenge, but he is not revenge for the country, but for his own selfishness, for the shame of being besieged by the Huns by the Huns, for family grudges, not national hatred."

"Nonsense! Emperor Wu of Han was a powerful lord, who was not a powerful army for his own selfishness. Even if he was warlike and damaged his national strength, at least he would make the four barbarians afraid and drive the Huns a thousand miles away..." Uncle Li admired Emperor Wu of Han's martial arts very much. When he heard what I said, he became anxious and said to me with his eyes blazing.

"Do I have nonsense?" He took another glass of wine, burped, and picked the corners of his eyes at Uncle Li, "My father-in-law, Emperor Wu drove the Huns tens of thousands of miles away, but he could not bring any wealth to the country. After a war, all the wealth he had plundered was in his hands. How could the country not be trapped? After the smoke of gunpowder, the grassland was still the grassland, and the grasslands of barbaric nations. After the Huns, there were Xianbei, Di, Qiang, Five Barbarians, and the current Turks, Xueyantuo..." I said a little too much. In fact, I think Emperor Wu of Han's greatest achievements brought the prestige of the Han people and opened up the Silk Road in the Western Regions. This is the most important thing, but he

He failed to bring a trace of wealth to the Han Dynasty and did not expand any land for the Han Dynasty. During the long years, the Han people went to war, and how many times the Huns had plundered, how many families had been destroyed, their wives and children were separated, and the emperor ignored them, and would not reduce taxes because the plunder did not insult or touch his authority. Moreover, those people were just a grain of sand among his thousands of people, so he didn't care. Emperor Wu of Han included all the wealth looted by the war in his name, fought for the country, and the people donated more taxes. After suffering, in the end, he only enriched Emperor Wu of Han...

Uncle Li didn't say anything, and looked down and thought deeply. He was too lazy to pay attention to this old man who likes to pretend to be cool and handsome in front of me. Let's continue: "In fact, the son-in-law is not an opposition to war. The son-in-law considers himself a supporter of the war. But from my perspective, from the perspective of the people, Emperor Wu of Han achieved strategic success, but the loss is far greater than what he got. Not only did he lose the country's fortune, but he also lost a lot of people's hearts. This is his mistake. In fact, war is the source of wealth..."

"Oh?" Uncle Li blinked, sipped his wine, and signaled me to continue.

"My father-in-law should also know that the son-in-law often talks about profit. Right, in fact, both the country and the people are all based on the word profit. Governing the country is also based on the word profit."

"The first thing to do in the country is to let the people eat and wear warm clothes. This requirement is very simple. But this is also profit, and this is the benefit of the people." I smiled and looked at the plump chicken legs with vicissitudes of life: "War is just a continuation of politics, but war can also bring wealth in addition to consuming wealth. Otherwise, why the nomadic peoples in the north frequently invade our Central Plains? It is because they can benefit."—

"Well, but what benefits can the Hu people give me to the Tang Dynasty?" Uncle Li felt more and more confused as he heard it. Yes, the nomadic people must have invaded us when they saw profits, but Uncle Li just couldn't figure out what benefits can the Hu people have. Well, this must be educated.

"There are too many, cattle, sheep, horses, population, aren't these wealth?" I asked Uncle Li. "Cows can plow the fields, sheep can eat meat, skin can make tools and clothes, horses can go to the battlefield, and they can also cultivate in dry land. The population, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the population is also the population. We need population to develop the south, and population to develop iron ore and build roads... Even those women and children, at least they know the art of raising horses, and raise livestock for us, right?"

"Bang!" Uncle Li slapped his thigh. He slapped his head and signaled me to continue. He had to throw half of the chicken legs into the plate, clear his throat and continue: "If all this is in the name of the emperor, let the wealthy people invest in this war and then plunder it.

Wealth, based on the amount of investment, will belong to those people, so how can the people not be willing to fight? When the people are rich, the country will become rich, and the virtuous cycle of conquest will be established. Then, it will not only increase the enthusiasm of the national group for war, but will also transfer it to the people..." www.101du.net Collection

While speaking, he carefully observed Uncle Li's expression. It was very good, without being angry, nor did he mean to get angry. This is a good phenomenon. He deserves to be Li Shimin, the most enlightened king in China's history.

"But a virtuous son-in-law," Uncle Li sipped a wine, paused for a moment and smiled, "What the virtuous son-in-law said makes some sense. I think about it again, this matter needs to be considered."

It seems that Uncle Li still has his concerns. It doesn’t matter. It’s still a long time. I’ve been struggling with this old guy for decades. Besides, Li Zhi is in my hands, two generations of emperors, hehehe, at least one of them has been successfully trained?

"For example, just like this Tuyuhun Battle, we actually don't need to pay at all, and we can also get a lot of wealth." I squeaked at Uncle Li with smugness.

"Wait... Son-in-law, wait, I think about it, my Tang Dynasty is the country of the sect leader. For the vassal state to destroy its rebellion, it should be the responsibility of the sect leader and ask Tuyuhun for property, right?" Uncle Li thought for a long time, his face turned red and shy, and he felt embarrassed, who was! A novice who has no economic mind and no plunderist spirit.

I really like this feeling of drinking and discussing things, just like when Uncle Li was still a prince who was bored and asked me to nag, while I was still the young man who said whatever he wanted.

"My father-in-law, do you know that he, a king, cannot even keep his own position, and we have to rely on us to send troops to support him. Does he even know some etiquette? Besides, if you help with things, you have to be willing to do it? Just like among the common people, you can always give me wages, even if you don't want anything, those thousands of prisoners are also wealth..." I have never been a slave trader, but after eating too much pork, I have always seen how pigs walk.

"But..." Uncle Li was a little hesitant.

"My father-in-law, do you know that I have tens of millions of vassal states in the Tang Dynasty. If this example is launched, every time the vassal state suffers, I will send troops to help him. If the Tang Dynasty is in one day of the treasury... Well, the son-in-law is just an example. At that time, even if we want money, the vassal states will have something to say. At that time, what did our Tang Dynasty get? What else did we get except a reputation? What did the people get? What did the soldiers get? The country also failed to get benefits. Why do you have such a profit-free act?"

"There is no answer, I didn't give a single fart, so I kicked out, Damn!" I gestured my middle finger to the sky with hatred. Uncle Li actually drove me out for no reason and told me to continue doing whatever I should do. It is hard for us to continue to persuade Uncle Li to implement a shameless tactic to ask for food and money from Tuyuhun, so we had to crawl home in shame and sulk myself.

"Your Majesty can figure it out. If you can't figure it out, he is not your Majesty." The palace maid Zhan Yan smiled and gently rubbed my shoulders with his hands. He was very sure and confident. The little girl Ludie seemed to be in a bad mood today. She always lowered her head and beat my legs and beat my feet to the insteps. Well, I have to ask carefully later.

"That's true." I nodded. This time, Uncle Li's attitude of neither agreeing nor opposing, I also understood. Uncle Li's hesitant heart wanted both face and money, which was really difficult. However, I believe that Uncle Li, who is open-minded and knows who is inferior to the country and who is worthy of the country, will eventually make wise decisions for the sake of his family and country.

After soaking in the bathtub, I finally felt less depressed. I hummed a half-baked song, waiting for the palace maid to come and wipe our backs, and comforted us, a young man who had suffered trauma in his heart, and heard the sound of the wooden door of the bathroom creaking.

"Come and wash my hair. I went outside the city to see the terrain these two days. I was covered in gray on my forehead. I was afraid that sand could be washed out of my hair."

"Yes." The green butterfly's voice actually appeared behind me, "Hey, why are you?" I twisted my body, but saw the green butterfly in a single dress. The two little white rabbits were rising and falling with her breathing, their faces were blushing, and they looked like they had done something bad and were caught and appeared.

"Green Butterfly." I looked at this timid little beauty, swallowed her saliva and stretched out her hand. Green Butterfly bit her red lips and hesitated for a while, reached out to my palm, and gently exerted force. A slammed water responded to the suppressed cry of Green Butterfly, and took the little beauty who was delivering goods to her door in her arms. Green Butterfly closed her eyes shyly, and her cheeks rested on my hot shoulders. A light and coolness flowed down her shoulders to her heart.

I resisted my chest with a terrible expression, with a hint of fear and joy, and a little confused. This girl is now getting more and more courageous. Since I brought up a bathtub last time, she seems to be enjoying such a game. Occasionally, the palace maid sister will deliberately disappear and let this girl attack successfully. Although she cannot be truly ecstatic, she has taken a lot of advantages. The little beauty's tofu, but, pussy, pussy, gentle, can't be evil anymore."

Looking at her appearance, I couldn't help but feel a pity in my heart, and gently sipped on her smooth cheeks: "Lufen, what's wrong?"

The green butterfly's face turned into a charming rose color, and its voice was about the same as a mosquito. It was blowing in my ears, making my hair so comfortable that it exploded: "Young master, green butterfly, green butterfly are all fifteen."
