Chapter 997 Need to Sacrifice
Li Xian turned on his mobile phone—there is almost no Lingtong Baojian in the Shang Dynasty, and he uses a mobile phone with a screen interface instead. Of course, Lingtong Baojian, as an ultra-efficient and anti-interference communication device, was still widely used by the military in the Shang Dynasty.
At this time, Li Yuanming's eyes were red, but his eyes were firm and sharp. In the first sentence, Li Yuanming said: "Xian Wang, the domestic situation has been controlled."
Li Xian squinted his eyes: "Under control? The Zizhu Building has collapsed. What you call under control, do you mean that everything that can be destroyed is destroyed, and there is nothing that can be destroyed, so it is called control."
"No!" There seemed to be some kind of light flashing in Li Yuanming's eyes: "King Xian, I remember you once said that your ultimate goal is to build an immortal nation, right?"
Li Xian looked at Li Yuanming on the screen. At this moment, there seemed to be some kind of wisdom in Li Yuanming's eyes.
Li Xian: "Yes, I said that. Why, do you have a good idea now?"
The light in Li Yuanming's eyes became brighter: "Sage King, the establishment of a country requires sacrifice. And the establishment of a nation? Doesn't it require sacrifice? No, if you want to be immortal, you need to pay a greater price!
I talked with people from Dongsheng Shenzhou. When the human race was independent and self-reliant, they encountered crises of genocide many times. The reason why the human race can now confront the monster race, even overwhelm the monster race, and become the most powerful single race in the fairyland is because our ancestors made huge sacrifices!
This sacrifice established the soul of the human race. In other words, it was countless sacrifices that watered the glory that appeared in the human race.
So, if we want to build an immortal nation, sacrifices are needed.
Of course, this kind of sacrifice is not a blind sacrifice, but a sacrifice with pursuit and dreams. Now is an opportunity.
What I said by controlling the domestic situation means that I am sure to take advantage of this opportunity to awaken the people of the Shang Dynasty to a sense of national form.
The Shang Dynasty expanded too fast and lacked foundation, so that the current Shang Dynasty has become impetuous. If this impetuousness continues, it will ruin the Shang Dynasty. "
Li Xian was a little angry at first, but after Li Yuanming finished speaking, he nodded slightly. But Li Xian didn't speak, because he saw that Li Yuanming still had something to say.
Sure enough, Li Yuanming continued: "If you want to shape the national consciousness of the Shang Dynasty, you need to sacrifice. And among them, it may give the people the impression that the country does not act or does not act well.
On the one hand, the Shang Dynasty gave too much to the people in the past, and it has given the people a habit and impression of stretching out their clothes for their food and opening their mouths. This impetuousness needs to be cut off!
On the other hand, because the Shang Dynasty itself was very large, the strength of the army and the power of the country were limited after all. This is an inherent problem.
The third point is that I will also plan and purposely slow down the speed of national rescue, etc., at least within the controllable range.
But no matter what, once I do this, it will definitely leave an impression on the people of the government's inaction. At that time... please ask the virtuous king to take me down and let Yan Ze'an replace the prime minister.
Doing so will immediately change the people's impression of the government. "
At the end of the hearing, Li Xian looked at Li Yuanming with a fluctuating look: "Are you going to sacrifice your reputation?"
Li Yuanming smiled brightly: "Yes! If my sacrifice can lead to the rise of a nation, I, Li Yuanming, would like to try.
Of course, if possible, I hope that after many years, a little bit of teaching textbooks will correct my reputation. "
Li Xian took a deep breath: "Okay, let's do it."
"Will not let the virtuous king count on it!" Li Yuanming almost swore.
After finishing the call, Li Xian stood on the Zhaixing Tower and looked into the distance, Beidou City was already a little chaotic.
As for Li Yuanming, when he ended the call, he let out a rough breath and leaned softly on the chair. Sacrifice is great to say, but difficult to do. Li Yuanming also considered for a long time before finally making a decision.
If possible, Li Yuanming would also like to have a good time, serve as prime minister for two consecutive terms, and finally be honored. To be honest, being able to become the prime minister and govern a country is something Li Yuanming never dared to think about in the past, let alone a country like the Shang Dynasty.
Let’s see, capitalism, ascension, human cloning, exploration of subsidiary worlds, etc., which one is not trans-epochal and history-making; and controlling such a country is a great honor for anyone in power.
But then, Li Yuanming stood up, stomped slowly to the window, looked at the bustling world outside the window, and smiled; there was a bit of pride and determination in the smile: "It is ordinary people who care about glory. The truly great people are Be a different person, a positive and different person!
What is the use of glory in the eyes of ordinary people! "
Li Yuanming looked up and looked into the distance, just in time to see a 100-meter-tall building in Anyang city slowly collapsing. Seeing such a scene, Li Yuanming took a deep breath and finally walked out of the office. Outside the office, there are already a large number of officials waiting.
Seeing Li Yuanming coming out, everyone didn't speak, but they all looked at Li Yuanming, and the heavy atmosphere seemed to freeze.
Li Yuanming looked at the crowd and smiled: "Everyone, we must not surrender to the enemy. The military operations of the Shang Dynasty will not change, and the internal defense of the country depends on the people.
The plan is this: the army attacks and quickly destroys the enemy's foundations. Only in this way can the enemy be wiped out at its root.
If we curl up and defend, although we may get a moment of peace, we will not escape bad luck in the end.
But doing so will lead to a relatively empty country, making it easy for the enemy to break through. So, everyone is still ready. "
After everyone retreated, Li Yuanming came to the large conference room next to him. This was Xu Ren, Yan Ze'an and other Shang Dynasty elites, that is, high-ranking officials above the third rank, and the minds of the Shang Dynasty.
Seeing Li Yuanming coming in, everyone seemed to be concerned.
Li Yuanming spread his hands pretending to be relaxed: "Don't look at me like this, what I sacrificed is only a little reputation, and my life is not in danger."
What Li Yuanming said made the scene much more lively. Yan Ze'an smiled: 'I'm afraid I'll put a sack on you halfway and hit you with a sap! '
Li Yuanming didn't care, "You have to be able to find me. I've decided that I will exchange Ji Buxian in Qingyun Valley or go to the moon in the future. If I can't come back, I can go to the moon to be with Ji Buxian."
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became more active for a while.
Li Yuanming sat at the top and began to assign tasks: "Grand Master (Xu Ren), this is the way things are, it's up to you to make the specific arrangements.
To make the people feel that the country cares about them, it is also necessary to let the people realize that the country is helpless and exhausted. "
Xu Ren didn't even blink: "It's simple, there is no need to cover it up at all, isn't it that the Shang Dynasty is already in a difficult situation now, isn't it? Now the Shang Dynasty's external land transportation is almost completely cut off, and it only relies on ocean transportation. The distance is long and effective. Slow. It's true.
Also, the stock market can do some tricks. As far as I know, many foreign people hold stocks now, and it's time to reap them. And now harvesting, no one can say anything, we are indeed very difficult.
After the stock market harvests once, we can plan and guide an economic crisis by ourselves, and then spread the economic crisis.
If it is done properly, our domestic economic crisis will not be too serious, and we will be able to rebuild our homes with "relief with work" in the later stage. The right economic crisis will bring us a lot of workers.
And foreign countries are already very poor. Now that Yingzhou is in a drought, the reason why it can still support it is entirely due to the strength of industry and economy. If it can lead to an economic crisis, the entire Yingzhou will collapse in an instant, and those big and powerful countries will disintegrate. Are we, of course..."
At the end, Xu Ren stretched out a palm and said, "Take the opportunity to take the whole Yingzhou! As long as we operate properly, we can at least expand the country's land area to 80,000 kilometers to 100,000 kilometers in an instant."
In the meeting room, there was a strange excitement for a moment. Everyone looked at Xu Ren, then at Li Yuanming, and then at each other, but no one spoke.
After a while, Yan Ze'an spoke up: "Xu Ren, how sure are you about the economic crisis? Although King Xian has mentioned the economic crisis many times, he didn't discuss it in depth..."
Xu Ren interrupted Yan Ze'an: "No, King Xian once had a detailed and in-depth discussion with Fang Shijing and He Lin. This matter needs to be explained by Fang Shijing and He Lin."
Everyone looked at Fang Shijing, and Fang Shijing smiled helplessly: "When I was discussing with King Xian, there were the queen and Xu Ren beside me."
Everyone looked at Xu Ren, and Xu Ren smiled cheekily: "For industry and commerce, economics, finance, etc., I still need to find professionals. I have no problem with the general direction, and I can do it on the battlefield; but Fang Shijing is still responsible for the specific affairs of industry and commerce."
Everyone looked at Fang Shijing again. Fang Shijing couldn't refuse this time, so he began to explain: "The problem of economic crisis, we have actually experienced it many times."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked first, and then looked at each other in blank dismay, economic crisis? Have we been through it? I remember that King Xian once said that the economic crisis is catastrophic, but we don’t seem to have experienced any catastrophic economic problems. The country’s development has always been high-speed and stable.
"Dong dong dong..." Fang Shijing tapped the table lightly, attracting everyone's attention: "We have indeed experienced this economic crisis, but it does not mean that the economic crisis has erupted.
Just like us people will get sick, but if we prevent it in advance, the disease will not come like a mountain. "
Everyone suddenly realized. Yan Ze'an was thoughtful: "Now that I think about it, I remember that King Xian and us discussed the economic crisis several times, and there were some big moves."
"Yes!" Fang Shijing nodded, "We have encountered innumerable large and small economic crises up to now, and there are no fewer than five serious ones. I know that you may not believe that the Shang Dynasty officially established a country and had a stable regime until now. However, it took only seven years to do all the calculations; in seven years, there were no fewer than five economic crises. You certainly don't believe it.
Here, I explain the definition of economic crisis. In fact, the definition is very simple, that is, the development of industry and commerce is out of touch with the needs of the country.
Everyone here knows that after the combination of industry, commerce and capitalism, it becomes a monster. This monster is powerful. Under the leadership of this monster, the Shang Dynasty completed the journey of other countries for thousands of years in more than ten years.
But again, this monster is not easy to control, and if it is not good, it will easily get out of control.
There are too many products, the prices are too high, the products are decoupled from the needs of the country's people's livelihood, industry, commerce and agriculture compete for population, urban expansion occupies farmland, military expansion, foreign wars, etc., extract people's livelihood materials, etc., every problem may lead to the outbreak of economic crisis.
Facing these problems, the Shang Dynasty carried out a total of more than a dozen reforms under the leadership of the virtuous king.
These reforms include: the popularization and diffusion of technology, the establishment of a patent system, the guarantee of the rights of inventors, the education system, a sound legal system and supervision system, the granting of sufficient rights to merchants, and even the recognition that high-ranking merchants have almost aristocratic social status, product quality Technical supervision and inspection system, multi-enterprise free competition system, encourage entrepreneurship, social subsistence allowances, consider businessmen when signing contracts with foreign countries, etc.
In addition, everyone is familiar with work-for-relief, capital injection, etc.
Among them, the construction of the royal palace in Dingshan Prefecture is an example of the combination of work-for-relief and capital injection, and encourages technological innovation.
In addition, the Spark Award, Spark University, industrial fairs, etc., can actually be regarded as means of economic reform.
There are also flying ascension, human body replication technology, etc., which can also be counted. Through these cutting-edge technologies, we have absorbed a lot of wealth and luck from the outside world. "
Having said so much in one breath, Fang Shijing respected, admired and sighed on his face: "People in the world only know that the Shang Dynasty is changing every day, but they don't know why the Shang Dynasty changes, what is the core, and what are the meanings of those means.
And this is the wisdom of the virtuous king! "
After hearing this, everyone was speechless for a long time.
After a while, Li Yuanming sighed: "I finally know why I have been unable to do what I want for a while. It seems that it is really difficult for me to be the prime minister."
"No, you did a good job!" Xu Ren sent a compliment, "Actually, you are better than all of us. Don't look at what Fang Shijing is saying here, but asking him to implement it will definitely cause problems. Because Countries are not just economic.
Rather, the state is political, and the economy is but one of the brightest jewels of national politics, nothing more. "
"That's right!" Fang Shijing also agreed, "Li Yuanming, there is a saying that is good, the eyes of the masses are bright. Since the people have chosen you, you must have your excellence. For example, now, you can take advantage of this opportunity, Building the national spirit of the Shang Dynasty is something that none of us thought of.
What we think of is just how to quickly repel the enemy, but what you think of is to use this opportunity to push Shang to the peak. For this alone, I am inferior. "
"Nor am I!"
"Li Yuanming, you are doing well!"
...
Everyone praised it. Li Yuanming's tired and sad brows gradually relaxed. Looking at the sincere praise in the eyes of everyone, Li Yuanming was suddenly moved, and the light in his eyes seemed to be more determined.
"Thanks."
