Chapter 809 Country Name 'Taiyi'
Seeing this map, Qing Feizi's eyes widened, "This...is this a photo taken from above the nine heavens?"
"No, it was taken from outside the sky." The tour guide was quite proud, "As early as last month, we began to publish satellite maps one after another."
"What is a satellite?" Qing Feizi was a little confused. The shock he received these days is actually a bit big.
"Let me take you to the Beidou Valley. According to the rocket launch pattern during this period of time, there may be a rocket launch tomorrow, and I will understand it then."
"All right."
…………
Inside the Taiyi Gate, in the conference hall, almost all the high-ranking members of the sect were dispatched.
Master Mingxin sits upright at the top, with different elders, deacons, etc. sitting in front of him; Cai Simian and Wu Sansi sit on the deputy seats not far from Master Mingxin, temporarily serving as "outer elders"; As for the elites led by Wu Sansi, etc., they temporarily serve as "outer deacons".
The reason for this arrangement is that Cai Simian, Wu Sansi and others have not made any contribution for the time being, and without contribution there is no status, so for the time being, they can only arrange a position as an "outer door".
But at today's conference, Cai Simian and Wu Sansi were the main speakers.
At this moment, everyone focused their attention on the two of them. After a few days of fermentation, almost all the senior officials in the Taiyi Sect knew that important changes would take place in the sect.
Daoist Mingxin looked around and saw that almost everyone looked expectant, and nodded in satisfaction; it seems that through secret messages and fermentation these days, everyone is ready to change.
After looking around, Master Mingxin said slowly: "Everyone, I think many people already know what happened today, but I still want to emphasize it.
Recently, Yingzhou has encountered a drought that is rare in ten thousand years. After many times and different forms of divination, the result of the divination is that the drought will continue and will become more and more serious.
Drought, perhaps many people think it has nothing to do with us. Yes, it seems that ordinary drought has nothing to do with us as cultivators, because even if it is really a drought, it will pass after a few years of our retreat.
But I don't think so. In my opinion, drought is a catastrophe, but it is also an opportunity. If we can expand the territory and save a large number of Limin people in this process, we will gain a lot of luck and even merit.
What luck and merit mean, no need to introduce it. "
When Master Mingxin said this, almost everyone's eyes widened immediately, and countless lights flickered in their eyes.
Daoist Mingxin smiled slightly, and continued: "Perhaps it was God's favor. At this moment, two real talents came to our Taiyi Gate. These are Cai Simian and Wu Sansi.
One of the two is proficient in civil affairs and politics, and the other is proficient in military and industry, representing the most advanced thinking in Yingzhou. Next, let the two elders of the outer sect tell about the future development of the Taiyi sect.
First of all, let Elder Cai Simian explain: the future development of Taiyi Gate. "
Cai Simian stood up, walked to the center, and cupped his hands to the surroundings: "Cai Simian has met all the fellow Taoists. A certain Cai has limited ability. If there is something inappropriate or not thoughtful , Please forgive me and correct Cai's mistake.
Today, I mainly talk about how the Taiyi Gate can successfully become the 'Taiyi Kingdom'. "
After a short pause, Cai Simian continued: "As we all know, times have changed. As early as a million years ago, when the national form began to form, the traditional sect and family form were severely affected.
As of now, there are countless countries on Yingzhou, but there are very few sects that can be considered strong.
Why did it cause such a result? Where is the country's strengths? Why is the form of sects gradually replaced by the form of the state?
Today, Cai explained these issues.
In fact, this question is very simple, that is - unite as one!
The country has larger land, more population, and more resources than the sect, so it can form a powerful army, gather more masters, and collect more resources.
If a country is a vast ocean, then a sect is a reef; perhaps this reef can be strong for a while, but it will eventually be swallowed by the vast ocean.
Therefore, after the advent of the national era, it is difficult to continue the way of sects and families. The Taiyi Sect may be considered strong, but the Taiyi Sect has been declining continuously for thousands of years.
But looking at the royal families of various countries, even if resources are scarce now, the royal families of various countries still have strong power. Why? It's very simple, because the form of the country can gather more resources.
Of course, the state form also has natural weaknesses. Compared with sects, the inheritance of a country is full of struggles. Many countries can't even persist for a thousand years, and there are only a handful of countries that can persist for more than 10,000 years. Moreover, the corruption of the country is faster than the corruption of sects.
So, is there a way to perfectly combine the country and the sect? "
Speaking of this, Cai Simian looked around, and all he saw were pairs of expectant eyes—if the Taiyi Gate expands to become the Taiyi Kingdom, then everyone present will gain huge benefits, and they have to pay attention.
Cai Simian paused for a while, then continued: "Yes! I found such a way.
Once, I was also confused, whether there is a way to make a country pass on forever and become immortal.
Once, I also thought, is the form of the country destined to be short-lived?
It wasn't until recent years, with the rise of the Shang Kingdom, that I suddenly discovered, no, maybe there is a way to make the country immortal. This method needs to rely on economic and technical assistance.
Why were countries prone to corruption in the past? One of the most important reasons is resource issues. The country can pool resources, but likewise, the country also needs to consume a lot of resources.
A country is like a person. If there is not enough food, people will definitely get sick.
A country is a growing group. Only by constantly expanding, changing and advancing with the times can the country remain immortal.
I mean immortality, not 'permanent peace'. Because countries want to expand, want to grow, there can be no 'real peace'. Tranquility means that a country has lost its motivation to grow, and it means that a country has begun to decay.
Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. As is the way of nature, so is the way of the state.
A country is a group that needs continuous expansion. Once the power to expand is lost, the country will inevitably become corrupt. "
Having said this, Cai Simian paused for a moment to give everyone a chance to react. Immediately, there were many voices of discussion around, and Cai Simian's speech really shocked and influenced everyone here.
But at this time, a person stood up, "Elder Cai, I am Mingzhi. What you said makes sense. But one thing, as far as I know, no country can keep expanding. There is always a limit to the expansion of a country. This is Doesn't that mean that the country will never be immortal?"
Cai Simian was not in a hurry, "Elder Mingzhi, you have reached the point. In fact, the matter is like this.
The expansion of the country has two directions. One is horizontal expansion and the other is vertical expansion.
The so-called horizontal expansion refers to the expansion of the country, which is what all countries have done in the past, so there is no need to say anything.
There is also a vertical expansion. The so-called vertical expansion refers to the expansion of technology, economy, culture and other aspects. This is what no country has done in the past.
But Shang Kingdom did it, so Shang Kingdom can continue to develop and expand, even faster and faster. Today's Shang Kingdom already has a majestic momentum.
I can say this, if all countries fail to realize the importance of 'vertical expansion', then all countries will fall under the steel army of the Shang Kingdom. "
Later, Cai Simian began to talk about his national transformation strategy. However, after talking about the above reasons, the next development path of the country becomes much clearer, and the explanation will be finished in a short while.
In the end, Cai Simian concluded: "The most suitable way for Taiyimen to grow into a country is for Taiyimen to introduce one person as the king, and then introduce different people as auxiliary ministers to form a 'court' and jointly Control the state power. And the Taiyi Gate controls the country through this imperial court.
Among them, the Taiyi Gate is still detached from the outside world, high and high.
In addition, in terms of technological development, economic development, etc., all Taiyimen and aristocratic families are jointly developed to form an alliance of common interests, so that the foundation of the country can be guaranteed forever.
Then, the different social levels of the country are divided by titles, wealth, etc., and a social regime with clear levels is formed, so as to ensure the smooth flow of government orders.
But at the same time, it is necessary to ensure that different social classes can communicate with each other; to form a pattern in which those who can go up and those who cannot go down. Only in this way can we ensure the longevity of the empire.
Finally, the country must have a strict legal system, which even the emperor must abide by.
What impressed me the most about the Kingdom of Shang is that once the law is established, even the virtuous king Li Xian has no right to change it at will. In this way, there is the present Shang Kingdom. "
"Okay!" Master Ming Xin applauded, and there was applause from all around. After Cai Simian's analysis, everyone suddenly discovered that it seemed simple to transform the Taiyi Gate into the Taiyi Kingdom, but there were so many precautions.
Also, the country and the sect are two completely different social groups, with little similarity. Thanks to Cai Simian, everyone can figure out the twists and turns.
Next to him, Wu Sansi frowned slightly after hearing Cai Simian's speech. He didn't expect this Cai Simian to be so capable. Even Wu Sansi had to agree after hearing this: If we really want to build and manage a country according to Cai Simian's way, it is really possible to achieve "immortality".
After Cai Simian finished speaking, everyone looked at Wu Sansi with anticipation in their eyes.
Just now, everyone looked at Cai Simian and Wu Sansi with contempt, and felt that the two fleeing emperors had no right to plan the Taiyi Gate.
But Cai Simian's speech made everyone suddenly discover that the construction and development of the country are so complicated. Fortunately, fortunately, we have Cai Simian's support.
Since Cai Simian can give such a wonderful speech and plan, what kind of answer will Wu Sansi give?
Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, Wu Sansi stood in the center and took a deep breath. "Hello everyone, Wu Sansi has met fellow Taoists. As the saying goes, one person counts his shortcomings, and one family's words will inevitably have omissions. If there are any deficiencies, please correct them.
What I want to talk about next is military matters.
The military is the most important component of a country and the most important guarantee for the country's immortality.
However, the military is not simply soldiers and wars. The real military is the embodiment of the country's comprehensive strength.
Let's take an example, if I am a soldier, what do I need?
First, of course, are the weapons, excellent weapons. This needs to be provided by the state. Even excellent weapons require the country to have strong industrial technology. And this requires talent and capital.
Secondly, of course, there are various rewards. From a personal point of view, the reason why a soldier joins the army is not to defend his home and country, but for himself. I need enough wealth to support my family. And the incentive needs to have a strong economic guarantee of the country.
Third, I need an ascending channel. There is a sentence from Shang Kingdom that I am deeply touched by. That is - a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. And this requires the country to have a sound political and military system.
Fourth, marching and fighting requires logistical support. You may know the importance of logistics support, but you may not know exactly how much logistical pressure is.
A low-level soldier in the third level of the gas refining period needs to eat at least 10 kilograms of grain a day and at least one or two salts in a fierce battle.
In addition, ammunition is so popular now that a soldier needs at least 500 bullets a day; at most, a soldier can fire tens of thousands of bullets a day.
In addition, there are medical treatments, talisman seals, ordinary low-level pills, and so on.
During the war, a fully armed soldier needs to provide at least 30 kilograms of supplies a day in order to barely maintain combat effectiveness.
This is still an ordinary infantry, what if it is an elite soldier? What about artillery?
Think about the current war, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of troops, what kind of scene is that. After a war, hundreds of thousands of taels of gold will be consumed at every turn. Ordinary countries cannot even organize a decent army.
This is the current military situation.
So, how should we build a new military? "
Everyone immediately thought about it, but it is a pity that these cultivators who only know how to practice in closed doors and fight alone, are completely blind to this kind of war between groups.
Wu Sansi looked around and said slowly: "First of all, we need military advisers, commanders, and generals, and we also need economic, industrial, and technical personnel who specialize in serving military advisers.
In addition, in order to ensure the strength of the country's military power, we need to have special military laws, military politics, and a complete military merit reward system. In particular, the compensation for soldiers who died in battle must be perfected and implemented.
Soldiers are the cornerstone of the country, no matter how much the price is paid, the purity of the army must be guaranteed. Therefore, in terms of military law, it must operate independently.
Legislation must be established first, then government should be established, and finally the legion should be formed. "
