C265 Opportunities

His Majesty's question made Xiao Yun helplessly rub his forehead.

After a long while, he said, "In the past, the peasants wanted to use commercial means to avoid war. They could also make themselves rich. The peasants were not people with great revenge. They just wanted to live a more relaxed and safer life. In the past year, the Qin Country had been wandering on the edge of war. The peasants were panicking, the peasants were afraid, the peasants were not heartless. It's just that... they don't want to have meaningless sacrifices. "

"Just for this?"

"[I... know a person, a woman, a woman I like very much.] I've seen her body, it's full of scars. It's like tens of caterpillars crawling on her body, ferocious and piercing. That was the consequence of war, and also the evil of war. Let a woman... bear all of this! The peasants knew that if other countries really attacked, then there would be a lot of people... Men, women, elderly, children... what they had to suffer... It would be much crueler than her!"

The corner of His Majesty's eyes twitched, then he sighed.

Xiao Yun also sighed and continued, "So the commoner thought of a way to use a transaction method, a tacit understanding, to connect the entire world together like a silk net, like a golden armor that cannot be broken."

" Oh?"

"The peasants have heard that there is a country in the south with excellent soil quality. If it is used for farming, the yield will not only be higher than the land in Qin Country, but also higher. And two in a year, as for Qin Country... The mineral resources were richer, and the craftsmanship was pretty good. For example, smelting techniques and forging techniques. The grasslanders were confident that no one in the world was stronger than the grasslanders. If that southern country only planted food, the tools they needed... If we provide them, then the two countries will naturally become allies. "

His Majesty's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "If we attack it, we won't be able to eat its food. If it dares to oppose us, they won't be able to get our goods?"

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Other countries invade, the same goes."

His Majesty said loudly, "This is a good thing!"

"But the peasants only found out a few days ago that it can't be carried out."

"Why?"

"[Didn't His Majesty give the answer before this?]"

"What?"

His Majesty was stunned for a moment. He recalled what he had said about "watching the North Wei make a fool of themselves."

Xiao Yun sighed and said, "Reputation needs to be nurtured for a long time, and even has to go through the test of fire and blood to be established. It is actually very difficult."

"So, you want to fight?"

"Yes. As long as these places are ours, then we can do whatever we want. We can make the best use of the resources in the world. When one side is in trouble, reinforcements from all directions will come. Only then will there be true peace!"

His Majesty thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "But if one day, even if you manage to do it, you will still be able to do it. The production of grain has also reached the limit, but the population has increased to a point where it cannot be added. When that time comes, you won't even have the chance to fight, what should we do? "

"If that really happens, the change of dynasties, internal disorder replacing external chaos, and thus reducing the population, moreover, this matter is too far away. That is something that will happen a thousand years later, so there is no need to consider it."

"Hmph!"

When it came to the change of dynasties, His Majesty naturally did not like it. He somewhat argued, "Then what if I want to know?"

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, this kind of thing will not happen. As long as the lives of the people are well and even everyone is living a luxurious life, people will not want to have children so much."

"Ah? Why?"

This theory caused His Majesty to open his mouth wide in shock.

Xiao Yun rubbed his head and said," The reason for this is very complicated. It has something to do with the level of a human's report. In the natural world, it is also the lower level of animals. The more you care about breeding, the higher the level. As for the matter of succession, they don't care too much about it. Rats can give birth to dozens in one nest. A nest of ants could produce tens of thousands of them, and the insects could even produce hundreds of thousands of them. However, it was extremely rare for a tiger to give birth to one in a year. It was the same for humans. The poorer a country was, the more children they would have. But Sun Moon Country... Nowadays, ordinary families don't have that many children, right? "

"Hmph! Are you saying that the Sun Moon Country is higher than the Qin Country? "

"Er..." Qin Mu Rong smiled bitterly. "Your Majesty, we need to know our own limitations. Besides... You seem to be arguing with me right now. "

His Majesty snorted angrily.

However, he did not say anything else. It seemed like he was feeling a little guilty.

He thought seriously for a while, then frowned and said, "I have finally understood what you have said, kid. However, that is a very, very long plan. In fact, it might even take decades or centuries. Yet you are here today. That night... Running over to find Zhen and insisting on fighting a war with the North Wei, this is still unreasonable."

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "That is because His Majesty always thinks that war is a form of labor and suffering. However, ignoring the benefits that war can bring, to put it bluntly, war is also a state's action, there must be conditions. And if necessary, it can be implemented slightly."

" Oh?"

His Majesty sneered: "Then tell me, what are the conditions and what is the necessity?"

He almost cursed out loud.

Xiao Yun did not care and slowly said, "The North Wei is in chaos now, and the Imperial Court is fighting internally. They will use any means necessary. This will definitely cause the officials to be divided into two factions. They are fighting against each other, causing the unification of the government and the inability to carry out decrees. The civilians will naturally be deeply affected. This was one of the reasons. Our Qin Country has had a hard year. There are many small countries around us. I'm afraid I'll have to take a long breath and feel that I can live in peace for a few years. Setting up a slightly offensive border to take advantage of us, North Wei border. I'm afraid that the same will be the case for the northern Wei border. If people are lazy, they will naturally lack training. If we can launch a sudden attack with insufficient defense in one go, it will have an extremely good effect. This is the second possibility. "

He walked around the house slowly.

Then, he said, "This is the situation in the North Wei, and the situation in our Qin Country is more suitable for a war."

"Nonsense!"

"What does war need the most, Your Majesty? "

"Hmph, with your level, you still want to trouble me? If it was an ordinary person, they would probably think that what they needed the most was people. The truth was that it was not the case. What a war needed the most was to prepare for war. Replenishment. As the saying goes, before soldiers and horses move, rations and grass move first. Even if it was only ten thousand troops... The equipment and supplies that could make them live on the frontlines for months or even years without worrying about food and clothing... This is..."

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "May I ask, Your Majesty, where did this equipment come from?"

"It is naturally a mission assigned by the Imperial Court, and it will be under the supervision of the Imperial Court."

"Yes, it's to supervise the construction, not to build. The Royal Workshop can't do so much."

"Don't make fun of me in such a weird way. I also know that the Royal Workshop's structure is limited. It is alright to have small fights on normal days, but if we want to support a war, we need to use the power of the entire country!"

"May I ask Your Majesty, who will pay for the money?"

"Of course it's the national treasury!"

"Where does the treasury come from?"

"Of course it's tax."

"Where did the tax come from?"

"This..." His Majesty said impatiently, "Of course they earned it."

"Who are the main sources of tax revenue?"

"The farmers, merchants, and the so-called peddlers all need to pay taxes."

Xiao Yun nodded and asked, "Where did the peddlers earn their money from?"

"Of course it's farming and workmanship. Could it be that it came from the wind? You can ask such a question? What are you trying to do, kid? "

His Majesty was furious.

Xiao Yun laughed and asked, "Then, Your Majesty, where did their work come from?"

"Farmland farming, workshop production, naturally from... Hmm? "

Speaking up to this point, His Majesty was stunned.

Because he finally realized... this was a circle!2

Xiao Yun exhaled and smiled, "That commoner will sort it out. Our Qin Country's problem now. It's just that there are many things waiting to be done. His Majesty naturally hopes that the people will produce more. Build more and quickly build up the things that have been lost during this period of time. Make up for it all. But could that be the truth? The people had suffered for a year, what they wanted to do the most right now... And they will definitely do it, what is it?"

Xiao Yun answered his own question.

"Tighten your clothes and shrink your food!"
