Chapter 609 The development of peace of mind
These things were written by Li Qing on paper. He just turned the events of the Song and Ming dynasties in later generations into other countries he had learned about.
Everyone was not surprised that Li Yi knew so much that they didn't know. After all, since Li Yi's suppression of the rebellion, such things have been common.
"Your Majesty has obviously devoted himself to research over the years, and he has achieved so many results. Just these firearms are probably enough for our soldiers to study for a while, right?"
The first person to speak was Liu Yan. He saw too many possibilities in the Tang Dynasty from Li Qing's words, and it is no exaggeration to say that among these words, the development path of the next generation of the Tang Dynasty has basically been determined.
"I'll show you these things. Do you think I'm in a hurry?"
Li Yi suddenly asked this question, which made them not know how to play. Isn’t this Li Yi anxious? It’s both invention and creation and negative teaching materials. Haven’t you found them all?
The next step is naturally to start working hard without saying anything, but now Li Yan actually said this, which is obviously a little unreasonable.
"If it weren't for this, what exactly would Your Majesty have?"
"All the Lords are all capable ministers of my Tang Dynasty, so they are naturally quite familiar with the officials of my Tang Dynasty. You should be familiar with this person from Wei Zheng, right?"
Everyone still didn't know what Li Qing wanted to express, or was shaking her head all the time.
Wei Zheng, a minister during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, was able to give his opinions straightforwardly to the emperor Li Shimin, and often expressed his opinions directly in the court. Emperor Taizong of Tang was able to listen to correct opinions, so during his reign, the politics was clear and the society was stable, and the Tang Dynasty had economic prosperity and national strength. After Wei Zheng died of illness, Emperor Taizong of Tang cried bitterly and was very sad. He ordered the erecting of a monument for Wei Zheng, and personally wrote the inscription and wrote it in his own hand.
The reason why Wei Zheng was able to win Li Shimin's trust was that one or two small things recorded between them could be seen.
For example, once, Taizong asked Wei Zheng: Why are some people wise in history and some people stupid? Wei Zheng said: "If you listen to opinions from all sides, you will be wise; if you listen to one-sided words, you will be stupid. He also cited the examples of Yao, Shun, Qin II, Liang Wu, and Emperor Yang of Sui in history, saying: If a ruling ruler can adopt the following opinions, then the lower feelings can be achieved, and his confidants cannot deceive them even if they want to deceive them.
Li Shiming nodded repeatedly and said, "How good are you talking about it! One day, Emperor Taizong finished reading the collection of essays by Emperor Yang of Sui and said to his left and right ministers: "I see that Emperor Yang of Sui is a man with extensive knowledge and knowledge of Yao, Shun, Jie, and Zhou, why is it so ridiculous to do something wrong? Wei Zheng said: An emperor is not good enough to rely on his intelligence and profoundness, but should also listen to his ministers humbly. Emperor Yang of Sui thought he was talented, proud and confident, and said what Yao and Shun were saying, and did Jie and Zhou. Later, he was confused and destroyed.
Such things, and the words Wei Zheng said at the time, are all things that the important officials of the Tang Dynasty who are now sitting in front of Li Qing. When Li Qing mentioned them at this time, he naturally compared them to his own, and everyone knows this.
Finally, Li Qing told Zhang Xun and the others: It was mentioned in history that Emperor Taizong often missed Wei Zheng, and sighed to his ministers: "Using bronze as a guide, you can correct your clothes and wear people as a guide, you can know gains and losses, and using history as a guide, you can know rise and fall." He compared Wei Zheng to a mirror.
Speaking of this, Li Qing looked at the people below with bright eyes. Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan and others were all smart people, and they immediately understood what Li Qing meant.
No matter how much Li Shimin had ideas or virtuous he had to have a mirror. If there was no mirror around him, it would definitely not be a good result for the Tang Dynasty.
"The reason why I mentioned these is not that I thought that all the dukes were inferior to Wei Zheng. On the contrary, Wei Zheng could not be compared with you, but you still have to be my mirror. I do have a lot of ideas and things in my mind, but if I don't have a mirror like these dukes, it would be impossible for me to do the best in the Tang Dynasty."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely be your Majesty's mirror! But the things proposed by Your Majesty are indeed something that can strengthen our Tang Dynasty's development!"
"Things are good things, but it doesn't mean that dynasties with these things can survive well. Although the two dynasties with these are too far away from us, I have at least learned about some of them."
After Li Yi said this, their eyes became like students who were eager to learn, because almost everything Li Yi mentioned today was something they had never heard of.
"It was a dynasty similar to the Tang Dynasty, but almost from its establishment, their emperor established the idea of suppressing military generals and governing the country with culture. This was not his random act. Instead, he taught the previous lesson. The emperor before him was dealing with the separatist military generals throughout the middle and late period, and was eventually destroyed by the military governors. Secondly, he, as a later military general, put on the yellow robe with the help of a group of military generals and replaced the former as the emperor himself. Such a drama was common in their era."
Li Xuan talked about the Song Dynasty in his previous life, but because the Tang Dynasty did not reach the point of separatism in Fanzhen under his leadership in this life, Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan and others did not know where the dynasty Li Xuan talked about was and what it was.
"Emphasis on literature is not all a disadvantage, it is just that it seems to be problematic compared to their general environment at that time. The rise in civil servant status has created this dynasty that is quite flexible and diverse, with open and relaxed policies, commodity economy, culture and education, and science setting new historical heights.
Businesses without excessive restraint were unprecedentedly prosperous. At the highest time, more than 70% of fiscal revenue came from commercial taxes.
With the promotion and use of new agricultural tools, the area of arable land has increased significantly, and the grain output has set a record. With more grain, the concept of three meals a day has emerged.
The export of porcelain and textiles to other countries in the world represents the advanced level of handicrafts. In terms of shipbuilding, the original watertight compartment technology was also leading the world at that time."
Li Qing did not explain the future, but it did not mean that he did not know.
