"Uncle, I heard from them that many Confucians have spoken. Even if you go to invite them in person, even if you pay tens of thousands of dollars a month, they will not go to school to teach."

Li Hong sighed.

"Where do children have so much sorrow when they come from every family? Class!"

Jia Ping'an entered the class, Cao Yingxiong, Hao Mi and others stood up to salute.

Zhao Erniang has now become a senior student of the new school, and she is more serious than Cao Yingxiong's daily attendance.

“What are you going to today?”

Recently, Zhao Erniang was taught a lot of research and arithmetic by Master Jia, and she felt that it was time to change to a relaxing class.

"I'll tell you about the future today."

Everyone became energetic when they heard this and sat down one after another.

The prince also picked up his pen and prepared to take notes.

"The future I am talking about is generally the future of the Tang Dynasty."

Jia Ping'an always felt that Confucianism lacked long-term planning. They always just had to live by themselves. They even couldn't stand anyone trying to make progress later... Don't climb up, wouldn't it be more beautiful to soak it in this soy jar together?

The result of lack of long-term planning is rigidity, internal lifelessness, and he is only concerned about sharing the fat. In the end, after being bombarded by the powerful ship, he was stunned and could not find a way to deal with it.

"The Tang Dynasty is now undermining the surrounding areas, the three kingdoms of Liaodong are destroyed, the Turks are in a slump, and Tubo has also become quiet after being defeated... Some people say it's time to let the horse go to Nanshan. Just listen to this, and you will really defeat the country."

"What is the way to maintain prosperity in the Tang Dynasty? Threat! Last time I told you how to find opponents for the Tang Dynasty. From the monarch and ministers to the people, we must remember that the Tang Dynasty will always have opponents."

The lighthouse in later generations was such a method. If there was no opponent, you had to create an opponent for yourself to stimulate the progress of your military power and stimulate the entire society to remain vigilant.

"This is the reason why we must die if we are wary, and forget about war will lead to danger."

"Duke Jiajun."

Among the two listeners, Jiang Feng asked a question, "Isn't this a powerful military force?"

"This is not a military force." Jia Ping'an felt that these people, or the entire Confucianism, had problems, "What will happen to the Tang Dynasty without an opponent?"

He looked at Jiang Feng, "May you answer?"

"Entertainment of virtue and politics."

It is to practice internal skills behind closed doors.

"What will happen inside the Tang Dynasty without an opponent?"

"The people live and work in peace and contentment..."

Jiang Feng became more and more confused as he spoke.

"You don't believe what you say." Jia Ping'an said lightly: "Without an opponent... you will fight yourself. Many times, if you have an opponent, you can force the internal unity and to be united to the outside world. When you lose your opponent, what will those people think of? When you think of fighting for power and profit, you dare to use any means."

"You only saw the Turks, Tubo, but did you see the big food?"

"Dashi is too far away?"

Foolish!

"When the Tang Dynasty was founded, how far was it from Anxi?"

Jia Ping'an took the map and pulled it out, "Dashi has been expanding over the years, which is more sharp and closer than the Tang Dynasty in the past."

"One of the reasons why I don't like Confucians is that you are weak and conservative in your bones, and you have also whitewashed it for this, called benevolent politics."

Jia Ping'an knocked on the case and stopped Jiang Feng and others' commotion. "Emperor Wu said that he respected Confucianism alone, but in fact he suppressed hundreds of schools of thought, and used the Legalists' style... The same was true in the future. Only one emperor believed in Confucianism and appointed Confucian scholars as important ministers, governed the country according to the Confucianism system, and implemented the so-called benevolent government. What did these benevolent governments get in return?"

Li Hong was breathing rapidly and thought of many things.

"The so-called benevolent government of Emperor Yuan of Han made those landlords and powerful people unscrupulously annex the land population. The crisis of the demise of the Han Dynasty was planted at that time."

Li Hong thought of the history books he had learned and wrote them quickly with his head down.

"When the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu would not say it, just talk about the late emperor. Is the late emperor a Confucianism?"

"His Majesty now uses Confucianism to govern the country?"

"When Emperor Yuan of Han appointed Confucian ministers, those Confucian ministers were very excited and felt that they had a day to stand out and were full of ugly things, but they were run over and committed suicide..."

"Confucianism will inevitably bring about a consequence... greed and weakness. Inside they will form a huge interest group, annex the land population, control public opinion, and control power. Outside they are weak and incompetent, and they wish they could surround the entire country with high walls and hide in the high walls to become kings."

"The threshold monkey!"

Li Hong lowered his head and wrote down the three words "Door Monkey".

Confucianism cannot be reused!

Li Hong shook his head slightly.

"If any dynasty wants to last forever, it must be proactive internally, continuously promote development, and continuously improve the people's benefits. The small river rises and the big rivers fill. When the people's benefits are high, the treasury in the court will inevitably be full..."

"And you must also be proactive in external affairs, but this proactive in progress does not mean constantly conquering cities and territory."

Jia Ping'an slowed down his speech.

"What I'm talking about below... don't want to spread the word."

Didn’t my brother say that people cannot keep secrets? Why do you still have to give me some advice?

"What is the limit of the Tang Dynasty's attack?"

"In the distance. When the Tang Dynasty's army set out from Chang'an for a long time before it could reach the most remote area, the Tang Dynasty was in danger at that time."

In an era of inconvenient transportation, once the territory is too far away, when an emergency occurs, such as the enemy's large-scale attack, and when the news reaches Chang'an, Chang'an mobilizes heavy troops to rescue... By the time he arrives, the war will be over long ago.

This is the limitation of distance.

"Don't let your army be too close to a powerful opponent or too far away from yourself."

"But there is no scruple outside the sea."

Jia Ping'an pointed to the blank area on the map, "There are fish, islands, and huge continents that can be compared with the Tang Dynasty. Those lands are densely covered with grasslands or countless minerals...there are countless arable land..."

“There is such a place?”

Li Hong was a little surprised.

“Of course there is.”

Jia Ping'an pointed to the distance, "After the Confucianism was the only one who respected Confucianism, the scholars of hundreds of schools either lived in seclusion or traveled, and the farthest went thousands of miles away... They found a huge land there, and there were natives on it. Those natives were kind and looked similar to us... Those natives called themselves Indians, what did you think of?"

"Shang Shang?"

Jia Ping'an nodded, "Maybe those people are the Yin people who crossed the sea back then."

As for whether it is... Jia Ping'an didn't know at all. However, it was enough to fool the prince at this moment.

"The mineral deposits there can make Yan Liben crazy and Dou Dexuan crazy."

Those unopened lands can be said to be filled with milk and honey, which is too rich.

"Your Majesty Jia County, you said before that you should not attack too far, as it is thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty."

Jiang Feng felt that he had caught Jia Ping'an's loophole.

Jia Ping'an smiled, "There is far away over there, but there are no enemies over there."

Jiang Feng said: "But if you immigrate here, it will be too far from Chang'an. If they are independent... Chang'an is beyond reach."

"Who were they after their independence?"

Jia Ping'an asked.

Jiang Feng said: "Rebellious!"

"Your vision is as short-sighted as those Confucians!"

Li Hong breathed tightly, worried that they would fight.

But when he thought about it, he felt that Jiang Feng and others could not beat their uncle even if they joined forces.

What else is he worried about?

Fight.

Jiang Feng and others blushed, but in the end they did not dare to take action.

The threshold monkey!

Li Hong thought of this word for no reason.

If it were someone else, even if they knew they would lose, they would take action. But Jiang Feng and others retreated.

"Even if they become independent, they will be a man. What are they afraid of?"

Jia Ping'an felt that if these people were in charge of the government, the Tang Dynasty would not see the future at all.

"If the Tang Dynasty did not occupy those plump lands, and if it waited for a few hundred years, there would naturally be foreign races to occupy those places. Then they continued to accumulate strength and finally achieved powerful power with the help of the plump land. When this force appeared across the sea on the coastline of the Tang Dynasty, you might be wondering whether this is not allowed or that is not allowed..."

"There are many good places in this world. If the Tang Dynasty does not occupy others, they will occupy them. They abandon those places for some worries. This is not called choking and silly!"

After a class, Master Jia left in a leisurely manner.

What should the Tang Dynasty’s future strategy?
