C264 Discussion(2)

"Your majesty, you said war was difficult and the people were miserable, but the people in front of you were miserable. Why didn't you see the people of the world for thousands of years? The suffering? That was why the peasants said that His Majesty's vision was a little shallow and only saw what was in front of him. But he didn't see the past, or the future."

Xiao Yun continued to speak of his treasonous words.

His Majesty did not get angry, but immediately asked, "You said that the reason for war is the same?"

Xiao Yun said, "Yes, the peasants think that war is actually a kind of deal, a deal between life and death. The reason for war is that the profit is not bad, and the cost is low."

"What do you mean?"

His Majesty frowned. He hated Xiao Yun to always use the words of merchants when he talked about big things. He did not like other ministers who used classics to make it sound very convincing and very high.

Xiao Yun's words dropped to a lower level.

However, he had to admit that his words were always so easy to understand.

Xiao Yun explained, "The reason for war is often because it is too extravagant, or it is not satisfying internally. It has reached its limit, so it is used in war to alleviate this limit. For example, the population of a certain country has been recuperated. There were more and more people, but there was obviously not enough food. Any place in the country that could be cultivated had already become farmland. However, there was not enough food, but many people suffered from hunger. What should he do? The first thing they thought of was to take other people's land. As long as there were too many fields, the people would be able to eat their fill. Rebellion, rebellion, and so on, wouldn't that happen? Moreover, many people would die in the war. Naturally, there would be fewer mouths to eat. It could be said that it was like killing two birds with one stone. Even if they were defeated in the end, the problems within the country would be resolved. Actually, it's not perfect? "

"Your words... are simply the devil's words!"

His Majesty berated in a deep voice.

But in his heart, he couldn't help but agree with this method.

Because His Majesty was an erudite scholar, he knew even more about the history of the past. After Xiao Yun said this, he thought again. He naturally understood that the biggest wars in the past... It was just that the few large countries had rested for too long, and their national strength was flourishing. However, there were internal conflicts.

After a few wars, everyone returned to calm...

It could not be said that it was a conspiracy between a few large countries. It could only be said that Xiao Yun's theory stood!

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Whether it is the devil or the saint, as long as it is for the welfare of the world, it does not matter. Protecting the peace of the country and the people, civilians think that they should not care about any means. The people also think that sacrificing a few to fulfill the majority theory... It was truly evil, but at some point in time... It was indeed necessary to think about it, and it also had to be done by someone... Wasn't it His Majesty who could do this? "

His Majesty fell silent.

Xiao Yun was right. As the ruler, sometimes he had to make some decisions that he did not want to make.

Xiao Yun continued, "War will never change. It is cruel and uncontrollable. Usually, the outcome does not match the expectation. Things will develop to an unimaginable stage. This is the true terror of war. "

"You said that the cost of war is very low?"

"Compared to other things, the cost is naturally less, because the countries are all connected. There is almost no barrier between them, and there is no mountain that cannot be passed through. There is no river or ocean that is very difficult to cross, especially the ridiculous. It was to set up checkpoints in some places in an attempt to secure one's territory there. This is almost one of the most foolish things in the human world "

" Why? "

His Majesty's expression immediately turned ugly.

There were many border posts in Qin Country. Even the northern border had the northern border of Liang Province. It was called the World's Greatest Pass. It was one of the proudest passes in Qin Country. But now, it was said by Xiao Yun that it was not the World's Greatest Pass.

In particular, His Majesty had spent a lot of money on it. The reason why he was so poor was mostly because of the construction and maintenance of those checkpoints.

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Because that is a fake natural chasm. It is man-made and can stop for a moment. But it cannot stop for a lifetime. Your majesty, you think that people can build city walls and tall buildings on top of it. What kind of difficult thing is it to walk on top? The enemy country would eventually have a chance. They could take advantage of the internal strife, or take advantage of some extremely special weather. There would always be a chance that they could directly cross that fake natural chasm. They might even occupy that place and make it their own place."

The corners of His Majesty's eyes twitched.

He wanted to refute.

But for a moment, he did not know what reason to use.

Because it was in the interior of Qin Country, three hundred miles north of the capital. There was also a pass, which was also known as the World's Greatest Pass a few hundred years ago. And now? It was just a scenic scene in Qin Country, a country that once owned that mountain pass. It had long been submerged in the river of history, completely disappearing from the face of the earth.

It was afraid that there would be a day in the future when the Northern Pass of Liang Province would also be like this...1

Xiao Yun saw that His Majesty did not speak and continued, "Moreover, there is no eternal natural chasm in the world, such as the ocean. People can only go out to sea for about a hundred miles now, if it is too far away. It will be very dangerous, but if one day people can sail very far... There was a large ship that could ride a thousand people, float on the sea for several months... It was precisely because the natural chasm was reduced that they attacked a country. The cost was too low. The army pressed down on the border and defeated the defending troops. We will go straight down and do whatever we want."

His Majesty gritted his teeth and said, "Since ancient times, so what?"

Xiao Yun said, "Of course we have to stop the source of the war."

"How do we put an end to it? If what you said is true, then as the population increases... Food is ultimately not enough. The more peaceful the country is, the more power the nobles will have. The less people they have, the more they will starve. "

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment and looked at the king in shock. He said, "Your majesty, did you see that? This... The peasant did not expect this. "

His Majesty snorted coldly.

However, he spread his hands and said, "Of course I can see. I am not blind. I only see, but I can't control it."

"Actually, there is no need to care too much. The gap between the rich and the poor has existed since ancient times. What can be done is to pay a heavy tax to the rich and powerful. Even the gap between the rich and the poor is a good thing for the country."

"Nonsense again!"

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the royal family also has workshops. Your Majesty should understand one thing. The bigger the workshops are, the better the quality of one thing can be created. And the cost will be lower. Simply put, the more resources they have, the more concentrated they are. If you can freely allocate all the resources in the world... It would be the most inefficient thing to allocate the resources to everyone. Although the word efficiency appeared to be cold and heartless, the country still had to consider these things. Isn't that so?"

His Majesty was stunned for a moment and wanted to refute, but in the end, he couldn't help but nod his head.

He might not understand other things, but he knew the Royal Workshop.

His Majesty said, "That's a little far-fetched. Weren't we talking about war just now?"

"This matter is also related to war!"

"Hm?"

His Majesty's face was filled with confusion.

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "This is the way to stop the war completely."

"Hmm?"

"Just take Qin Country as an example. If a place has a disaster and there is not enough food, what will His Majesty do? "

"It will naturally be a disaster relief. Transfer some food from the national treasury to aid the disaster."

"Although it is not the best solution, it can solve the problem. This kind of thing can be done in the interior of the Qin Country, but in the world, it cannot be done. If there is a disaster in the North Wei now, will His Majesty give them food for free?"

"Of course not!"

His Majesty said with certainty.

Xiao Yun sighed and said, "But if the Northern Wei does not have enough food, their king has no choice but to organize an army to snatch it from our Qin Country."

"Hmph!" His Majesty laughed loudly and said, "Then let them come. When soldiers come, they will block when water comes! Could it be that I am afraid of them?"

Xiao Yun helplessly spread his hands and said, "Look, this is the origin of a war."

His Majesty was stunned and said unhappily, "You are deceiving me and setting a trap for me!"

Xiao Yun said, "Actually if the North Wei does not have food, but they have other things. If they are willing to take it out, we will exchange food with them. This war will not need to be fought, right?"

"That is true, but why should we sell it to them? Isn't it good to watch them weaken?"
