Chapter 108 Teaching Ning Wangyue

Leaving Gao Jing, sighing with great excitement, Liu Mingqi returned to her position.

Gao Jing naturally wouldn't know that in Liu Mingqi's world, there is really a country that does what Liu Mingqi said.

This is what the Americans have always done.

One of their most successful examples is to dismantle the Big Brother and remove the biggest threat to the United States.

It also eased the fate of mankind.

You know, if they continue the arms race in the 1970s and 1980s, if one day the gun goes off, it will be ten times more powerful than that in World War I and II.

Whether humans can exist at that time is a question.

Of course, Liu Mingqi didn’t say that the Americans did it right.

Instead, this approach is to avoid a huge loss and the lives of millions of soldiers in the country at a very small price. This is where their rewards are greatly better than their efforts.

Before Dakang, there were basically no examples of ancient my country using such a strategy to split and confront the external barbarians, thus weakening themselves.

Because the Confucian empires disdained to do this, they did not have such accurate spy planning methods.

It was through hundreds of years of exploration and practice that the United States made such a big deal.

After that, they seemed a little self-consistent and had nothing new.

Whether it is Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, or Syria, it is all the same routine, but it ends up making a mess and making people laugh at it.

If Dakang wants to have a beautiful "spy battle", it may take a lot of energy and material resources, and persistent determination to achieve it.

But this has nothing to do with Liu Mingqi.

He could not act as James Bond, nor could he really get involved in the spy war, and the cabinet ministers would never allow it.

I can only hope that Gao Jing can get to know her and try to start doing it.

It's not too late at this time.

In my thoughts, someone around me touched him, "Ming Qi?"

When I turned around, it was Liu Mingguan.

He is now the prince, so he naturally sits on the same table with his father, his uncles, and Liu Mingguan.

Liu Mingqi and Liu Mingguan are both juniors, so of course they sit together.

"What's wrong?" the boy responded in a low voice.

"I see, you just went over to chat with those wild people, and it seemed very enthusiastic. Are you a little too proud of them?" Liu Mingguan said, "You are not only our prince of Dakang, but also a saint! You are chatting and laughing with those of them who have ulterior motives, and you have lost your identity."

"Hey, how do you know that they have ulterior motives?" Liu Mingqi immediately became interested.

"Do they have any good intentions? You don't have to think about it!" Liu Mingguan said disgustedly.

"It's done, Brother Mingguan!" Liu Mingqi patted his shoulder, "If you have the opportunity to be the emperor, I really don't worry about your false kindness and righteousness, and being deceived by these seemingly obedient turtles!"

Liu Mingguan smiled faintly, "Are I such a pedantic person in your eyes? Although I like Confucian scholars and am willing to use Confucianism to govern the world, I can tell who is good and who is bad. For example..."

Speaking of this, Liu Mingguan stopped, "Forget it, let's not talk anymore. It's not a gentleman to talk about others behind the scenes."

"Look, look, aren't you pedantic?" Liu Mingqi took the opportunity to instill his thoughts again, "Brother Mingguan, you can't be so pedantic when you are emperors. Apart from being kind to the people, you have to severely rectify the rest! What kind of corrupt officials have been undergoing a major purge every seven or eight years. First, they are to eliminate harm for the people; second, they have embezzled enough, which can replenish the treasury; third, they are also to make latecomers wary. Isn't this a kill of three kills in one stone?"

Liu Mingguan was so amused and crying, "Will you keep going like this, complain?"

"What are you afraid of when you are an official?" Liu Mingqi said disdainfully, "Which dynasty was destroyed because of the rebellion of the official? It was because the people couldn't stand it, so they rose up and destroyed the entire dynasty! The officials were a group of tool people who were dependent on the imperial power. If they didn't want to use it, they would get rid of them, and some were new people to make up for it!

But the common people are different. If you treat them too badly and make them have no food to eat and need to eat, then they will not be able to stop when they burst out, and even the most powerful dynasty will be destroyed in an instant!"

Liu Mingguan frowned when he heard this.

He admitted that what Liu Mingqi said was still reasonable, but thinking like this would be too extreme.

Most of the ministers are loyal and kind-hearted. Why do you think that most of them have to be replaced every once in a while?

How can the world be governed in this way?

He immediately asked this question.

"hey-hey."

Liu Mingqi smiled, "Did you see the sweet potatoes I had grown before?"

"Well, I went to the cellar to see it." Liu Mingguan said, "I heard that this is only ten acres of land, which is really amazing!"

Anyone who sees that a mu of land can produce more than 2,000 kilograms of grain will be surprised.

If the emperor had not taken the ministers to harvest them personally, most people would not believe it.

Even so, Liu Mingguan was skeptical and did not believe it.

Unless it is planted next year and everyone can see it, then it can be confirmed.

Liu Mingqi doesn't care about him, "In a maximum of three years, you can see the effect of sweet potatoes splashing! As long as the sweet potatoes are sufficient, the people can survive. What does the life and death of the officials above have to do with them?

As long as we can eat and wear well, the people will obey the imperial power, so that our Liu family's rule will be stable and will not affect the overall situation because of the opposition and revocation of those officials.

To put it bluntly, why do we appoint officials? Don’t you hope they can help manage the people and then give them the lowest living security?

As long as sweet potatoes can meet this point, the most basic ones will be met, and the people will not have too many requirements, and naturally the importance of officials will decrease!

Let me tell you, Brother Mingguan, just by this matter, you will have to be a prince for my sons in the future!"

Liu Ming was so fascinated when he saw that he was so confident.

However, he quickly denied: "Don't say anything nonsense! We are both alternatives, maybe it's you... or even more likely that the emperor gave birth to a prince again!"

Liu Mingguan really wants to sit on the throne and display his lifelong ambitions.

But this does not mean that he is as confused as his father, King Li.

Liu Mingqi had no intention of competing, which was confirmed by Liu Mingguan long ago, and at the same time, he felt a little grateful in his heart.

If Liu Mingqi withdrew from the beginning of this competition, it would give him great convenience and would be easier to gain the support of the ministers.

With this gratitude, Liu Mingguan actually made a decision and would take good care of Mingqi's family in the future and grant him two more princes to repay his friendship.

The main problem now lies with the emperor.

Emperor Jing He was ambitious and quit unhealthy diet, irregular routines, strengthened exercise, etc., and wanted to have another prince.

This not only gave Liu Mingguan a headache, but also made many people feel embarrassed.

A gentle adult prince, and a prince who has no personality, is not old and is still immature...

The treacherous ministers will definitely choose the second one to be the emperor.

But the Confucianism in the Great Kang Dynasty was generally more upright, and with tough guys like the Legalists, they would definitely be willing to choose the second one.

But the problem is that the decision of these things is not with them, but with the emperor.

Emperor Jing He insisted on letting his youngest son be the emperor, what can you do?

Do you refuse to obey the order?

Isn’t this emperor’s son a natural person to be the emperor?

With the emperor's son, you have to choose a prince to be the emperor for thousands of years of history. How can such a thing happen in our vast China?

So Liu Mingguan is actually very contradictory in his heart.

Of course, this contradiction has nothing to do with Liu Mingqi.

Anyway, I don’t become an emperor, so naturally I won’t have any troubles of one kind or another.

The boy saw Liu Mingguan's entangled expression at this time and did not tease him. After all, such troubles are indeed a headache.

Liu Mingqi changed the topic: "Brother Mingguan, if you have the chance in the future, you must pay attention to our surrounding bad neighbors. The external environment of our Dakang is very bad. Even if there is a strong enemy in other dynasties, we are facing three more...and maybe even more!

Don’t listen to those pedantic Confucians who say that harmony is the most important thing and that you should not provoke trouble! You have passed this stable time, but what should we do if our descendants of the Liu family do?

What if they encounter a recent disaster, with continuous loss of various national strength and extremely weak, and suddenly encounter foreign enemies rushing in and invading?

At that time, not only will our Liu family be in trouble, but the people are also suffering from life. I don’t know how many families are broken, I don’t know how many people are displaced and cry!”

Liu Mingguan's mouth moved.

He disagreed with Liu Mingqi's extremes.

But some of the words in it are still very effective.

In fact, Confucianism is not blindly conservative. They still have many knowledgeable people who want solutions.

But none of them are as bare and as extreme as Liu Mingqi.

Liu Mingguan couldn't accept it for a while.

But he couldn't find any practical examples to refute it. In addition, Liu Mingguan is a kind person and would not be as shameless as Liu Mingjing.

So he simply stopped talking.

The boy did not force him. After all, if you want to influence someone, you can't get it in one step.

It needs to be slowly moved, especially to let him see that he is very right.

For example, the yield of sweet potatoes.

Once the production of sweet potatoes meets expectations, Liu Mingguan can immediately give him a great affirmation of Liu Mingqi's ability.
