Chapter 422 Governing the country is so simple

Just now, when Australia returned to the villa, Li Xiuning, who was already anxiously waiting, saw him and asked: "Master, are those people and the two generals good in Australia?"

Li Yu did not answer this, but said: "To be honest, the Central Plains have been developing for thousands of years, but the land has been exhausted. Australia's land, plains, minerals, and forests are much better than the Central Plains. As long as it develops well, I think it will take only twenty years to reach the Central Plains and there will be no problem with the wealth level exceeding the Central Plains."

"That's good. Although it's not rich for the time being, there are no threats from foreign races. They can develop with peace of mind." Li Xiuning said with a feeling: "Master, thank you for finding such a good place for my brother and the others."

After saying that, she buried her in Li Yu's arms regardless of the situation.

But at this moment, Li Er walked in. Seeing the two of them, he wanted to retreat. Seeing that Li Yu had already seen him, he had to bite the bullet and walk in.

"Why are you here?" Li Yu looked at Li Er with an unnatural look on his face.

"I heard that you sent a group of people away, so I came over to see if there is anything else that needs my help?" Li Er lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the third sister's angry expression.

"King Qin... isn't right, should you call him Your Highness the Crown Prince now?" Li Xiuning left Li Yu's arms openly and walked slowly to Li Er, pointing to the mulberry and scolding the locust.

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Li Er stood up and said, "Sister, aren't you going to see me? I'm here to see you today. You're not here to mock me, right?"

Li Xiuning remembered the appearance of the eldest brother and the fourth brother's body and head at that time, and she burst into tears and said, "Second brother, I was deceived by you so much. For you, I even warned my elder brother, but what you did was like a knife to stab my heart."

After hearing what his third sister said, a look of pain appeared on his face. After a while, Li Er said, "Sister I did deceive you. I'm sorry to my elder brother and fourth brother, but I had no choice at that time. If I did it again, I would make the same choice!"

After hearing these words, Li Xiuning was silent for a while, and finally sighed suddenly and said, "The matter has passed, and it is useless to say these things, but I want to ask, what are you going to do with your father?"

"When the world becomes stable, I will let him be free, but it won't work for the time being, otherwise the world will be divided again. I can't do this now." Li Er said, and quickly winked at Li Yu.

"I think, your father should stay in the palace for the time being! The old man's desire for power is too strong. Once he comes out, he will definitely find his old subordinates again. Then he will make trouble again. Besides, the Tang Dynasty is no longer able to make trouble now." Li Yu made the final decision.

"But, Father..."

"There is nothing, but that's what I'll do. There's food and drink in the palace, what else do you want?" Li Yu waved his hand, unwilling to discuss the matter again.

"Okay! I'll listen to you all. But!" Li Xiuning turned his head and looked at Li Er and said, "If I hear you dare to treat your father badly, I will never be able to avoid you."

After saying the harsh words, Li Xiuning walked out angrily.

Li Er looked at the back of his third sister and said enviously: "Why did my third sister listen to you so much? Why do you always scold me?"

"I'm handsome! I've taken away your third sister's soul, and you have to listen if you don't listen." Li Yu joked.

Li Er was serious. After looking at Li Yu for a while, he sighed inwardly that he really had a temperament that was very attractive, making people want to get close to him.

Li Yu did not care about his strange eyes, but took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Er, and said with a smile: "Are you busy with things in the court that you are busy with your hands and your official duties make you dizzy?"

Li Er took a sip of cigarettes and said in a miserable tone, "You are right. My head is so big that I read the memorial. There is a flood here, where there is drought and where there is rebellion."

Li Er took a big breath of cigarette and said, "My current life is what you once said before. You get up earlier than a chicken and go to bed later than a dog."

"Grudge your teeth and persevere for three years, and you will get through it." Li Yu cheered him up.

Li Er sighed and said helplessly: "I have something difficult to deal with now. Many important officials are not in court collectively. Now the court is half paralyzed. The Turks are now making trouble in the border area. I don't know what to do now?"

"I can't help you with this, you know that I'm not familiar with those ministers at all." Li Yu shook his shoulders, stretched out his arms, and made a helpless move.

Li Er shook his head helplessly, continued to complain, and said, "I have many talents under my command in military affairs, but there are too few talents available in government affairs. Pei Ji is now the leader of the ministers in the court. It is a headache to pretend to be sick and not attend court."

"Pei Ji, I want to touch him, I know someone can do it." Li Yu smiled.

"Who! I'll go find him to convince Pei Ji immediately." Li Er was shocked.

Li Yu said: "Your old man!"

After hearing this, Li Er immediately fell down and waved his hand and said, "No, no, if the father asks him to bring some orders to his father's confidant, it will be even more troublesome to rebel."

He sighed, shook his head, and said, "There is something even more troublesome. Someone in the court revealed the previous incident of Xuanwu Gate to the Turks. According to reliable information, the Turks seemed to take the opportunity to go south."

"The Turks have always coveted the wealth of our Tang Dynasty, and the heavy snow disaster last year must have caused heavy losses to the Turks. I'm afraid the grassland is full of hungry herdsmen, which makes it easier for the Turks to recruit enough soldiers." Li Yu paused and said, "I guess you can't command many generals of the Tang Dynasty this time. As long as they don't rebel, you should thank God."

"This is not the first time that the Turks have gone south. As long as the soldiers are united, they can still drive the Turks back." Li Er waved his hand and said, not knowing the huge crisis that the Turks have caused to the Tang Dynasty this time.

Li Yu knew that after Li Er had just become emperor, the Turks mobilized heavy troops on the banks of the Weishui River and signed the Weishui Alliance that was powerless and humiliating.

"If it were in the past, you could mobilize a large army to fight against the Turks, but the situation in the Tang Dynasty is now unstable. You may have to use the troops stationed in various places to stabilize the situation. If you transfer these troops away, you may be in chaos when you fight against the Turks. At that time, under the attacks inside and outside, it will be a danger of destroying the country!"

Li Er sighed, "This, as long as we talk about it, we will solve the problem of burning the fire, and then talk about the Turkic matters. Besides, without the joint efforts of the court officials, how can we solve the crisis of the Turkic people going south?"

Li Yu felt a little helpless about Li Er's disregard for the Turkic matter. It seemed that he was doing it himself again?

Li Yu looked at him quietly and said, "You go back and persuade your old man to explain his interests. I think it's better for the old man to come forward. This internal crisis will be easily resolved."

Li Er thought about it and felt that it was indeed the case. He nodded and said, "Okay! I'll consider it and see if I can take some precautions, and I'll talk about it then."

Li Erhu said again: "Li Yu, how to govern the world, I am still confused now and have no clue in my mind."

Li Yu lit a cigarette, walked around the room, thinking about the change of dynasties in various history.

Li Yu said slowly: "Everything has its own way of achieving success, especially in governing the country, especially in our China. Just look at the historical records and you will understand that the way of heaven is circulating in such a cause and effect.

In fact, no matter who the people who govern the world are, if you look at the history of our ancestors' success, you will know the general direction of governing the world.

In the early days of the founding of the country, as long as you do not do harsh governments like the Qin Dynasty and increase corvee labor, and not fight internally like Jin Dynasty. Learn and learn from the Han Dynasty to govern inaction, accumulate people's strength, and pretend to be grandchildren outside. If you don't do it, let's marry your daughter. You must avoid Emperor Yang of Sui and build large-scale infrastructure without understanding the national conditions, otherwise the people will not be able to live, and sooner or later you Li Tang will be overthrown.

As long as you avoid these things, it will be a prosperous era in a few decades. At that time, both public and private granaries will be abundant, and you will be able to deal with anyone you want to deal with.

Some people have said that we have crossed the river by feeling the stones, but our China is already a horse. Thousands of years of experience in governing the country is here. The predecessors of the Muddy Waters have helped you to get through. As long as people are the people first and the people live and work in peace, the people will protect the dynasties that allow them to live as they protect their own property.

As long as you achieve these key points, it is so easy to govern the country.

After hearing this, Li Er shook his head and said, "What you just said is indeed the principle of governing the country, but it is not suitable for our Tang Dynasty."

Li Er said this, glanced at Li Yu, and said, "Because we have you in the Tang Dynasty, my third sister and I don't need to pretend to be grandchildren to foreign tribes. If I dare to marry a princess, my third sister will pull out my skin."

"Don't contact the court with me if you have nothing to do in the future. I'm not your nanny?" Li Yu waved his hand and said, "Besides, your third sister wants to kill you now. Are you still referring to her protecting the Tang Dynasty?"

After saying that, Li Yu flashed his spirit and finally knew why this guy didn't take the Turks to heart. It turned out that he left the Turks to himself to deal with them. He was such a cunning guy.

"Leaving the Turkic army to me means that I have paid back the three promised time I have promised you! I won't owe you anymore in the future, just don't regret it." Li Yu said meaningfully.

Li Er smiled and said, "If the number of Turkic people is too small this time, I will definitely not use this condition. If I can't solve it, I have to use it."

After saying that, Li Er continued, "Let's talk about governing the country."

Li Yu did not think and said directly: "If the country is prosperous, it is best to let the people read more. Never think that as long as the people are strictly controlled, it is the victory of imperial power. I think that as long as the people are kept in a state of ignorance, society will stop moving forward, and royal power can always be high."

Speaking of this, Li Yu paused and continued: "The literacy rate of the people is too low, which hinders the rapid development of society, and the other hand, the people are illiterate and are in a state of ignorance, and are most likely to be bewitched by others."

"I didn't understand it very much. I always feel that the people are more ignorant and easy to manage, but I don't know that this will affect the development of society." Li Er said in a deep voice: "In fact, as long as the people are rich, have food and drink, no one is willing to rebel. Anyone understands this principle, but all this must be rich in the people. How can the people be rich? It is necessary that the people have knowledge, society will develop rapidly, and this will cycle, and the entire nation will completely flourish."

"That's it." Li Yu smiled and said, "But will your royal family give up the arrogant dictatorship?"

Li Er immediately shook his head and said, "It is not easy to do it. Thousands of years of imperial power have already penetrated into the bones. How easy is it to change?"

"Then you Li Tang is just a dynasty for more than 300 years! You can't get out of this vicious circle either." Li Yu's expression was dull.

Li Er was shocked when he heard this. He knew that since Li Yu said that, then Li Tang really had a history of hundreds of years.

"Can't you change it?" Li Er was shocked.

"I ask you, when you kowtow to others, have you ever thought about it in your heart that he would kneel in front of you one day to kowtow to you?" Li Yu thought from another perspective.

Li Er nodded and said, "Yes, when I saw my cousin, Yang Guang, who was showing off his might and accepted the ministers' kneeling down. At that time, I wanted to overthrow his throne and accept his worship."

"Since you have this idea, there are more than tens of millions of people in the world who have such ideas." Li Yu shrugged and said, "If the royal family is superior, the more knowledgeable the people are, they will understand what is unreasonable. The more they will overthrow such a dynasty, it will become a vicious cycle."

"I'll go back and consider your suggestions and see how to limit the imperial power." Li Er turned around and left.
