Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 702: A World of Struggle for Profit
"Aye, who is Erfeng?"
Li Chengqian's question made the atmosphere in Ganlu Hall suddenly cheerful.
Veteran ministers like Fang Du all had smiles on their faces, and Chu Suiliang, who also had doubts but couldn't ask questions, also had a curious face.
The one who showed no face to her the most was Empress Changsun, who burst out laughing.
Li Shimin knew with just one glance that this big boy was making fun of him. After all, with the word "Your Majesty" suffixed by "Wu Hou" and his continuous responses, it was clear who this Erfeng was.
So the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty slapped the prince on the back of the head without any courtesy, and then said leisurely:
"That's because Marquis Wu knew about your father's achievements and praised me for being a majestic phoenix, so he called me this affectionately. What do you think?"
The Prince of the Tang Dynasty rubbed his head and grinned:
"In front of you?"
Li Shimin snorted and glanced at his son. There was no guilt in his eyes:
"As we can see from the inheritance of Qian, later dynasties would praise him as the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty."
"And the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty that I and the ministers created will still be remembered by the Han people a thousand years later."
These words immediately made the ministers forget about the name just now, and they all bowed their hands to the emperor and showed humility to each other.
Du Ruhui said loudly:
"Looking at the sorrow of the two Song Dynasties in later generations, we can see that it is not possible to just revise prose."
"Looking at Mongolia's cracking of soil to the Yuan Dynasty, we can see that blindly praising military force is not the way to peace."
"Thinking about this, the most important person for future generations to praise Zhenguan's rule is Your Majesty."
Du Ruhui's somewhat kitsch remarks made Wei Zheng mutter softly, but he had to admit that there was truth to it.
Li Shimin waved his hand reservedly:
"I and your ministers have achieved unobstructedness by working together, so how can I boast alone?"
"The Tang Dynasty has thousands of territories, and there are thousands of opportunities in one day, how can one person make a decision? And I only know a little about the battle formations, so I can use it to make a decision about the country. I may not get it right in seven out of ten things. Over the years, there are so many absurdities, I'm afraid I will die suddenly. But where is the rule of Zhenguan?"
Reasonable, well-founded and clear. Don't talk about Zhenguan ministers now, Li Chengqian also accepted the teachings.
Looking at his son, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking forward, Chengqian would have been walking on thin ice every time he saw him, and it would be unthinkable for him to deliberately make fun of him like he did today.
Li Chengqian straightened his back and had no idea what complicated emotions were surging in his father's heart.
The most curious thing for him at this moment was the curtain of light in front of him. Just now, his mother whispered that the Three Kingdoms of Liu Sheng and Sun Cao, the Song Dynasty that succeeded the Tang Dynasty and put an end to the chaos, and Zhu Yuan who expelled Hu Yuan and restored China all made him curious. , at this moment he watched the words of Emperor Ming floating by.
〖Zhu Yuanzhang: We are not joking. It’s just that when we founded the Ming Dynasty, we not only had to restore Yanyun, but also exterminate the remaining Yuan Dynasty, and we also had to bring the north and the south back home. Now that we are being asked by later generations to build maritime affairs to prepare for the future, it is extremely difficult. .
Zhao Kuangyin: I will go on the Northern Expedition next year, and the affairs of Yanyun will definitely be completed, and I am determined not to let it cause harm to future generations.
Liu Bei: It is a great thing that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty had such a wish. If it could come true, the era of great strife mentioned by Kong Ming would not necessarily be known from the Chinese Song Dynasty. 〗
In Guangzheng Hall, Zhao Kuangyin was thoughtful:
"A time of great strife?"
"I'm afraid it's called the window period." Li Yu guessed.
"Then why do you call it that?" Zhao Kuangyin was still a little confused.
He could vaguely understand the meaning of the word window period, but in this era of great strife, the connotation of killing was a little too strong.
"Haha, if an official asked about poems, poems, fine wines, or a good place for an outing in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Congjia would probably be able to talk to the official for three days and three nights."
"But when it comes to strategies for managing the world, I can give you a few words."
Then Li Yu showed an obvious look of displeasure on his face, flicked his sleeves and said:
"Qian Wende, just say what you want, there are so many azhe words!"
Seeing Zhao Kuangyin also looking inquiring, Qian Chu smiled and said simply:
"The officials probably don't know where Wu merchants can go when they go to sea?"
Zhao Kuangyin raised his eyebrows, pointed to the map on the side of the palace and said:
"It's all marked on it."
After being reminded by Zhao Kuangyin, the two of them saw the map that was completely different from what they had seen before. Qian Chu quickly stepped forward and almost lay on it to observe carefully.
The map in the light curtain switches very quickly. Unlike the one in front of me that can be carefully examined, starting from the Qiantang place I am most familiar with, I continue to outline along the familiar trade routes. The places on the map are also the same as the descriptions in my mind. One by one, he finally shook his head with emotion:
"I forgot that the official family has such a blessing from heaven."
Then, looking at this map, Qian Chu poured out what he was thinking about like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube:
"When merchants go to sea, profit is the most important thing. In the early Han Dynasty, the sea people did not know the treasures. At that time, they could exchange millet and wheat for the sea people's pearls and gold, and the profit was a hundred times."
"During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, people in Nanyang knew that there was China, and they also knew what the people of Xia wanted, so the benefits of the exchange were only dozens of times greater."
"To this day, there are countless people who go to sea. When the opportunity is right, thousands of sails sail south together to pursue profits. The profits have been more than twenty times."
"As far as I know, merchants pursue profits, and brave men open new trade routes, seek out people who do not know how to be kings, and exchange treasures for huge profits."
"However, there are also people who form associations and go to the sea to control the trade routes and enslave the natives, and then return the land to the Song Dynasty for profit."
"This has been the case from the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty. If another hundred years pass, I believe that there will be naval forces from other countries coming to the South China Sea in pursuit of profit."
"This is a time of great struggle, fighting for the interests of our family and country, and fighting for the interests of China."
Although Qian Chu spoke briefly and used the merchant rhetoric he was most familiar with to explain the changes in the world, Zhao Kuangyin knew that he was right.
Qian Chu did not know, but he had personally seen the changes in Western ships listed by later generations, as well as the actions of the fleet to forcefully knock on the door of China.
Combining what Qian Chu said with what he knew, Zhao Kuangyin also vaguely understood what Zhuge Wuhou said about the era of great contention, so he sighed:
"The world is vast and powerful, and those who work hard will succeed!"
The emperor has already decided that what Qian Chu said makes sense, so Li Yu, although reluctant, still admitted:
"Qian Wende really knows about money."
Qian Chu didn't care, but said with a little meaning:
"What the emperor said makes sense, and the power of China is also vast and powerful. It is the great power for all rivers to converge and compete with the barbarians across the sea."
Li Yu seemed to be thinking about something, and Zhao Kuangyin also had a satisfied smile on his face.
Zhao Guangyi touched his nose and hissed, and the fist injury on his forehead was touched again, which hurt even more, but it still didn't prevent him from wondering:
After Qian Chu of Wu Yue and Li Yu of Jiangnan Tang abused him, how come they seemed to be closer to the emperor?
【Thanks to the unreliable kurultai, the once huge Mongol Empire eventually fell apart.
And until the demise of the Mongol Khanate, the Southern Song Dynasty still survived.
This was all thanks to the famous prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time: the treacherous prime minister Jia Sidao, who received mixed reviews. 】
