Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 7: Dingding Section 102 The wise see wisdom

Taking a deep breath, He Jing knew that His Royal Highness King Qin was waiting for him to express his opinion on this matter. Although he wanted to echo His Highness King Qin's own opinion, his dignity as an official did not allow him to go against his will flatter the boss.

"Your Highness, the empire is about to be rebuilt. Compared with the Tanghe Empire, His Royal Highness has added six counties out of thin air, and this does not include a Czech Republic that is actually a vassal of the Empire. These territories are all In the border areas, the economy is quite backward, and the ethnic composition is also very complicated. In many places, our Tang people do not have an advantage. If we want them to quickly integrate into our Tang civilization, it is difficult to achieve what we want by simply relying on military conquest. effect."

"We can only rely on our own strong economic power to integrate them into our economic circle, step by step to infiltrate them with our excellent culture and art and long history and civilization, let them feel the advancement of our civilization, let them They are willing to invest in our arms, and the basis of all this is to build on the process of economic integration. That is to say, the interior of our empire must become a strong economic pole, firmly play the core role of the economy, and Let all the newly joined nations and regions around us be controlled and influenced by our inland economy, and this must be based on the fact that our inland economy must be far more developed than other regions, and we must continue to use new technologies and new products to Strengthening the competitiveness of our empire’s interior economy must not put the cart before the horse. But now our empire’s interior has encountered many civil wars and foreign invasions, especially in the north of the empire. The economy has suffered great damage and a large number of infrastructures have been destroyed. And abandoned. Many local economies are not even as good as one-third or even one-fifth of what they were before the war. To restore the economies of these places, the central government of the empire must make considerable investment. It is difficult to achieve by relying solely on private forces."

Nodding indifferently, Wufeng appreciates the other party's frankness, as a governor of a county, he will not be clear about the debate among the high-level officials on whether to continue the war or stop the war to cultivate and cultivate, and he will not be clear about his own attitude. But the other party still resolutely put forward his own point of view at the risk of rebelling against him. This alone is enough to prove that the other party is at least much stronger than many people in terms of personality and morality. At least the other party will not violate his conscience because of his own future. Some nonsense that is not my own inner opinion.

"Well, there is some truth, continue." Wufeng waved his hand to signal the other party to continue.

I didn't pay attention to the indifference in His Highness King Qin's tone. Now that this point has been mentioned, He Jing has nothing to taboo: "The establishment of every new dynasty requires a period of adjustment or rest. It is an inevitable requirement to establish a stable regime structure system. It is essential for stabilizing the hearts of the people in the country, implementing a political system and various strategies for governing the country. If the empire holds high the banner of conquest at the beginning of its founding, it will inevitably make the people tired This is not conducive to the stability of the country's people. Of course, His Highness's prestige and reputation in the empire are unparalleled, and the people's resistance in this regard may also be minimized, but this is always a problem. I am tired of it. The people in the war are eager to live a stable and peaceful life. If it is not because the country is facing a crisis of survival and then initiates a war, it will definitely not be welcomed by the people.”

"Your Highness can understand His Highness's inner thoughts. Maybe His Highness thinks that our military power is now the strongest, and we can just use the powerful military power in our hands to conquer and obtain it. If we don't move forward, maybe we will Lost opportunities. It may also cause the army to lose the fighting spirit and vigor of foreign wars. These factors may exist, but compared to the stability of the empire and the stability of the people, compared to the longer-term goals and significance in the future, the two evils will win It's lighter, for the same goal, my subordinates think that we sometimes have to make some adjustments in strategy, at least for now, my subordinates think that our primary task is still to develop the economy, especially the rapid development of the economy in the northern part of our empire, so that These areas will recover and develop as soon as possible, so that the economy in the interior of the empire will become the leader of the entire empire."

Seeing Wufeng's slightly frowned brows seeming to be digesting the meaning of his words, He Jing added: "Of course, it is necessary to recover the inherent territories of the empire, such as the two prefectures in the east of Sanjiang and the Great Eastern Ocean, and this can also be achieved. Win the support of the people of the empire, and the empire is fully capable of accomplishing this intention without affecting the general direction of the policy.”

Wu Feng has to admit that the other party's words are quite convincing. Even he, who has always insisted on conquest and development at the same time, is a little moved. It is true that the stability of a country, especially the stability of a new empire, is very important. But what attracts Wufeng even more is the idea of ​​making the empire's interior economy the core and magnetic pole and using new technologies and products to strengthen the economic center of the empire's interior. This point of view has also been vaguely thought about by Wufeng. But it was not as clear and certain as what the other party proposed today. Just this point made Wufeng feel that the trip was worthwhile.

"He Jing, have you considered how long it will take for the imperial economy to return to its former glory even if we give up other ideas and develop the economy wholeheartedly? Have you considered that without us through war and conquest, we can win for the imperial economic reconstruction? What about more benefits and funds? And have you considered whether our enemies will take advantage of this opportunity to seize what should belong to us, including land, sea and Their subordinate rights and interests, and if this kind of opportunity is missed, maybe we will spend several times the price and even never get it back?"

Of course Wufeng will not be refuted so easily by the opponent. There will definitely be contradictions between conquest and development. Of course it is impossible to perfectly achieve the intention of both ends. It's just a good balance. As his own point of view, the pros and cons of it have also been carefully considered over and over again, rather than impulsive.

"He Jing, we are developing and making progress, and our opponents are also working hard. Our eyes can't just stay on these few enemies in front of us. Although the Liberians are powerful, they are nothing but centipedes. It’s just a non-stiff performance, and the Maqihan people have passed their heyday, and at most they are just a stumbling block that is not easy to remove under our feet. But we still have to look at the Central and Western Continents, and also look at The Japanese people on the ocean to the east of us, their development speed is amazing, especially the Luzon people in the middle mainland, and the powerful countries in the western mainland, their development momentum has surpassed ours, and they have used marine civilization to advance their sphere of influence To a place other than Laya Continent."

"I can say without hesitation that the competition between us and them is inevitable. If the Tang nation wants to stand proudly on the top of the world's powerful nations, it must abandon the original inherent old concepts. Of course we must pay attention to the land, and we must pay attention to the sea. We must pursue more, and this requires us not to stop, but to clench our teeth and speed up. Development is of course important. We cannot simply oppose foreign wars and economic development. If we can successfully handle the relationship between the two relationship, the two can also complement each other and promote each other, and I firmly believe that we can do this.”

He Jing secretly sighed in his heart, it is easy to say that complement each other and promote each other, but in reality, I am afraid it is not so easy, war is a bottomless pit, its consumption will inevitably crowd out the funds needed for development, Even dragging down the finances is normal, and once the pace of war is moved, it will not be diverted by the will of one side. Although His Highness has a good idea, it may not be able to meet his wishes. It's just that under such circumstances, He Jing felt that he had fulfilled his responsibility and was able to reflect his thoughts truthfully. As for whether His Highness would accept it, it was not up to him to decide.

"Please excuse my stupidity, Your Highness's idea is too demanding~IndoMTL.com~ It may be too difficult to have both fish and bear's paws, and this is probably the main reason why others don't agree. But if If His Highness has determined that this principle cannot be changed, the subordinates think that they must win the approval of others, even to a certain extent, otherwise this will cause great trouble to the newly established imperial government." He Jing looked at Wufeng from Wufeng's eyes He has already seen the firmness that cannot be changed, so he can only put forward such a minimum compromise opinion. If everyone in the Government Affairs Department opposes this opinion, even if His Royal Highness King Qin insists on it, I am afraid that it will bring troubles to the implementation of imperial policies in the future. Many unexpected troubles.

Nodding approvingly, Wu Feng once again noticed the extraordinaryness of the governor of Heshuo in front of him. He was appointed governor of Heshuo at the beginning because he recognized his professional performance in the department of culture and health, especially in dealing with the outbreak and spread of the northern plague. The shrewdness at the time, coupled with Su Qin's strong recommendation, it seems that this person's overall view is not limited to the governor of a county, but it is also necessary for this person to have a good time in the position of governor of a county. He laid a good foundation for taking on a more important position.

The end of a conversation like this makes Wufeng feel a little unfinished. Wufeng is very satisfied with a deeper understanding of He Jing's ability. The empire is about to be established, in charge of sixteen counties plus one The administrative structure of the Zhongzhou Special Administrative Region is about to put up a shelf, and Wufeng has realized that he has a shortage of talents who can share the heavy responsibilities for him, and this is also a problem that he needs to solve urgently after entering Beijing.
