"Master, what benefits can we do if we take down the Japanese territory?" Li Zhi's eyes contained a question. The little guy now has become a snob who can't get up early without profit.

I rolled my eyes: "Do you think the Tang Dynasty should not use force against Japan?" Li Zhi's head shook quickly: "Xiao Zhi never thought that a small country is so arrogant. If it is so arrogant, it will be difficult to exterminate the power of my Tang Dynasty! It will be even more difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart." Li Zhi's gritted teeth and looked very similar to Uncle Li.

"Well, Qi Zhi is very proud, but do you think this is really just a battle to vent personal anger?" I frowned and my expression became serious.

Li Zhi was slightly stunned when he saw my expression, glanced at his younger brothers beside him, and cleared his throat: "Of course not. The students thought that the whole country of our Tang Dynasty is now angry. If we don't take away the Japanese Kingdom, it would be difficult to quell the public's anger. Besides, there are more than a hundred countries in our Tang Dynasty, and those who are very careful don't know Fanfan. First, my father ordered the envoys of the vassal state to be blamed on the Japanese envoys in the same palace that day, and thought that it was to let the countries see clearly that it was not that my Tang Dynasty attacked the Japanese country for no reason. Second, my father asked for a war and could do his best, but to have a shocking effect. No matter which Tang Dynasty, whether you are thousands of miles away from my Tang Dynasty, or there is a obstacle to the strong sea, as long as you dare to come out and challenge the authority of my Tang Dynasty, you will definitely destroy it. For example, Gaochang on the land and the Japanese land on the sea today."

"Okay! Xiaozhi has indeed made a lot more progress than before. It's not bad. What you said today is so moving that even your teacher is very moved. What I want to ask you is why I, the Tang Dynasty, can only seek a battle? Why did there be many oppositions in the country when I was conquering Gaochang State?" I touched my chin and smiled.

Now, let alone Li Zhi, the little princes next to him were even more confused. Li Zhi scratched his forehead with a little annoyed: "Xiao Zhi thinks that it should be the guiding role of the public opinion that the master said. Over the past period of time, local publications in the Tang Dynasty have also published lies about the insult of the Tang Dynasty by Japan, which aroused the anger of the benevolent and wise men in the court and the country."

I just smiled and nodded: "Well, you are half right, but this is actually no 30% of the reason. The real reason is not this."

"Oh?" Li Zhi sat down and thought hard. On the side, the little princes all thought of some strange answers, and naturally I denied them one by one.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Li Zhi finally slapped his thighs excitedly and stood up: "Land, prisoner of war." He confessed his love nakedly. But here I gave me warm applause: "It's worthy of being Xiaozhi, but I finally grasped the key to the problem."

Li Shen leaned his head curiously and asked, "Master, it has something to do with the land. This student still thinks it is a good idea, but we haven't started the war yet. What does this have to do with prisoners of war?"

"Hehe, Xiaoshen, you don't know this." Li Zhi patted Li Shen's shoulder proudly: "These days, the courses arranged by the master are all related to the Japanese land. Didn't you see that although Japan is not large, its control range is not large. However, the population on that island is not less than one million. My Tang Dynasty destroyed its country. The land was not just land, but the people above it, hehe. Our Tang Dynasty can use it for development in various places. Don't you know that Japan produces pearls and gold. These minerals alone are enough to make up for the military expenditure of our dynasty, not to mention that the Japanese land has a lot of fire, sulfur and other things, which are also needed for my Tang Dynasty's firearms..."

When Li Zhi saw me, he nodded with a smile and continued to show his younger brothers: "The most important thing in our Tang Dynasty is development. Think about it, our Tang Dynasty has collected hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war, and how many roads have we built for our Tang Dynasty, so that our Tang Dynasty has now connected the land of Guanzhong with Jinyang and Luoyang. What is the land? Even prisoners of war, if they were the people, they would not have been able to do so well for ten years. Moreover, with the Japanese as slaves, my Tang Dynasty would have developed the mineral deposits of Luzon in the future, so wouldn't it have a lot of free labor?"

"It is precisely this principle. As the saying goes, the world is bustling for profit and the world is bustling for profit! You may have also seen that this battle against the Japanese Kingdom, not to mention the nobles of the dynasty, even the nobles of the aristocratic families have no objection. Why? It's profit! Now that the Tang Dynasty has developed Liaodong, some people have begun to taste the sweetness, but they are a little slow to take action and are regretting that now, local publications have also published regional information about the Japanese territory. Do you think these people are really for the anger of the whole country? Wrong, it's for the land or the interests."

"But Master, isn't this contrary to the usual benevolence of the Tang Dynasty? Think about it, after my Tang Dynasty pacified the Japanese territory, the land naturally belonged to my Tang Dynasty. Why don't we govern Liaodong like we were?" Li Shen was really too far-fetched.

I sighed, and Li Zhi next to me also sighed like me. He looked like a Confucian son was unspeakable. I stopped Li Zhi, the prince who had successfully transformed into a utilitarianism, from continuing to speak. "Xiao Shen, what is the difference between the land of Liaodong and the land of Japanese?" I said to this little prince who is still naive in his mind.

"The land of Liaodong has always belonged to China, but this country of Japan is just a wild land. Yesterday, students read the information given by their master. Among the land of Japan, there are only fifteen or sixteen of them. The rest are like wild beasts who eat raw meat and drink blood." Li Shen's first-class kung fu skills are not only poor in absorption and digestion.

I cleared my throat, glanced at these little princes, including Li Zhi, and said seriously: "You are all students of the teacher. Today, I hope that my words do not need to be repeated for you again. Whether you are the princes of the Tang Empire or the prince who is the throne of the Nine Five in the future, I hope that you will remember one thing. First of all, you must distinguish clearly which people are our own people, which are outsiders, which are submissions to the Tang Dynasty, and whose temporary surrender will be harmful to my Tang Dynasty but will not benefit me!"

"We must keep in mind one principle, that is, the interests of the Tang Empire are above everything else!" I stood up and said solemnly. "The first thing to do in governing the country, governing the territory, and subjects is to make the people eat and wear warmth. This actually has touched the most fundamental thing, which is the word "profit".

"Liaodong was originally the people of China. Although Goguryeo has been in existence for a long time, the people in the land said the same words as us and wrote our words. It is relatively simple for their education and the centripetal force of the Tang Dynasty. Even the national conditions and system of Goguryeo also conform to our Tang Dynasty. Therefore, we equate the people of Liaodong and the peninsula with the people of the Tang Dynasty, while the Japanese land is different. First, the land is all barbarians, and there is no thought of a king or a father..."

After explaining in detail, these little princes finally agreed with my concept. "The country is composed of people. The situations between countries are different and cannot be generalized. Moreover, you must remember one thing to drive the people. First of all, you must make them profitable and make them understand and understand. What benefits can do to them do? Don't think that by taking the name of righteousness, the people of the world can turn their fingers with their fingers."

"Just like in the former Han Dynasty, the more we fought, the poorer the country became. But what about our Tang Dynasty? Since the 16th year of Zhenguan, whenever we fought, we did not make profits for the country? That time the people would not benefit? Using prisoners of war to build roads, the people could serve less labor and accelerate the circulation of goods in our Tang Dynasty. The country also reduced its expenditures. Moreover, after each war, our Tang Dynasty could make profits of at least one million yuan, not only to fill the loss of military expenditure, but also to make surplus." Speaking of this, I couldn't help but pat the table with some pride. Yes, this is my credit, but now, the civil and military officials in the court have also discovered that it turns out that wars can also be fought like this.

After teaching these little kids a lesson, it was time for the end of get out of class. At this time, Princess Jinyang also came in from outside the hall and saluted me obediently: "Mingda has met her brother-in-law."

"Haha, I have seen Your Highness the Princess, why are you here to play with your brothers again?" I stood up, Li Fu and the others were already playing and running to the back hall, taking out the basketball, and preparing to play on the playground outside the hall.

Princess Jinyang's big eyes turned into a crescent moon: "Yes, Brother Jiu, you and my group later, you can't let Xiaofu and the others win again."

Li Zhi also felt sorry for the girl and nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, with Brother Jiu here, Brother Jiu injured his arm yesterday, and today it's much better, so he will definitely not lose to them."

Princess Jinyang giggled and turned around and called to me, "Brother-in-law, Mingda still wants to find Sister Shu, can it be? The mistress also agreed to give me a calf. Mingda saw that day, what a cute calf!" Princess Jinyang also gestured an exaggerated gesture.
Chapter completed!
