    In a valley, the ground was filled with brilliant light, and the fairy spirit was faint. Two people were sitting on a cloud platform, it was Shang Qingyi and Li Shimin.  But when I saw the elegant and handsome Shang Qingyi holding a folding fan, he pointed at the void in front of him. Immediately, the immortal energy gathered and turned into a modern geographical map of the mountains and rivers of the world.  Shang Qingyi pointed at the map and said to Li Shimin: "Can the emperor find the location of the Tang Dynasty in it?"  Li Shimin had long been attracted by this map. After listening to Shang Qingyi's question, he searched for the location of the Tang Dynasty. It took him a while to find it in eastern Asia. He felt a sudden surge in his heart: He didn't expect that there was such a vast world outside the Tang Dynasty.  !  Li Shimin couldn't help but secretly guess Shang Qingyi's intention of showing him this world map.  Shang Qingyi continued: "I wonder if the emperor has the ambition to rule the whole world?" "Hiss" Li Shimin took a breath of cold air. Although Li Shimin had the idea of ????expanding territory, the world outside the Tang Dynasty was more than a dozen times larger than the Tang Dynasty.  Times, even if we could attack it, it would be inconvenient to rule.  Shang Qingyi suddenly smiled disdainfully: "I also told you that Li Shimin is a wise king through the ages, but it seems that it is nothing more than that."  Li Shimin's face darkened and he argued: "This world is so big. Even if we want to leave, it will take decades. Even if we can conquer it, we will not be able to rule it at all. Moreover, after conquering it, it will not bring much benefit to the people of the Tang Dynasty. Instead, it will be caused by the war."  As for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who died, such unwise behavior could only be done by those faint-hearted kings who were eager for great achievements."  Shang Qingyi smiled noncommittally and said: "Oh~, what the emperor means is that there are too few people in the Tang Dynasty to live in such a big place."  "It can be understood that the territory of the Tang Dynasty is enough for the people of the Tang Dynasty to survive. No matter how much territory is conquered, it will be useless."  "Well, why not turn everyone in the world into people of the Tang Dynasty? Then there will be enough people; or is it that the emperor's eyes only see the Tang Dynasty and cannot see the world outside the Tang Dynasty, or that  Your heart, Li Shimin, is only as big as the Tang Dynasty."  Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, and he had some guesses in his mind, and asked: "What does the Immortal mean?" Shang Qingyi did not answer, but simply asked: "Your Majesty, what is Huaxia?" "That's it." Although Li Shimin knew Huaxia  The meaning, but he felt that what Shang Qingyi wanted to say was definitely not what he understood, so he said: "Please give me some advice."  "The beauty of the uniforms is called Hua, and the great etiquette is called Xia. The people of the Tang Dynasty are Chinese people, and the Chinese people are the people who have inherited Chinese culture."  "Shangxian means to turn those barbarians into Chinese people." Li Shimin took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Shangxian, if you have anything to say, just say it."  "Well, if you don't want to conquer the whole world, then spread Chinese culture around the world and Chineseize all the people in this world. This is my request to assist you in the future."  Most of the reasons why Shang Qingyi did this were for the sake of the small world in He's Jade. As long as the scope of the Tang Dynasty continued to expand, the small world would continue to expand, and he could control the small world more; the other part of the reason was naturally for  Cultural inheritance, as long as the inheritance of other barbaric cultures is cut off, then Chinese culture will be passed down to future generations forever, and foreign languages ??will not become the second language of Chinese people in modern times. Some people even use it as their mother tongue.  It's a shame that the country still speaks foreign languages.  Although Li Shimin had some vague guesses in his mind, he was still quite surprised to hear Shang Qingyi say it himself. However, he also knew that completing this task was not as simple as imagined.  "The Immortal knows the situation in the Tang Dynasty. Even if I want to spread Chinese culture all over the world, I don't have the final say in the Tang Dynasty. Those aristocratic families are watching me closely. As long as I do anything that offends their interests.  If something happens, they will unite to suppress me." When he said this, Li Shimin looked gloomy.  Shang Qingyi in his previous life also read some forums on the Internet, and there were many posts about aristocratic families. For example, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was promoted by aristocratic families to redistribute their interests; during the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, many of Yang Guang's actions offended the aristocratic families.  interests, so the family overthrew the Sui Dynasty.  "Then the family will be destroyed."  Shang Qingyi's calm words startled Li Shimin, shocked by his cruelty, but also a little helpless: "Nowadays, scholars in the world follow the example of aristocratic families, and most of the officials in the imperial court are from aristocratic families. Aristocratic families, everything  No."  Shang Qingyi naturally knew that the aristocratic family could not move, and what he said was just to elicit these helpless words from Li Shimin; Shang Qingyi said with disdain, "Oh~, you are a coward too."  Li Shimin stood up immediately and looked at Shang Qingyi with a ferocious face, but Shang Qingyi didn't care and asked, "Why are most of the people in the court from aristocratic families?" PressureSubduing the anger in his heart, Li Shimin replied: "Because those are all talented people trained by aristocratic families."  "Why can't other families cultivate it, but only the aristocratic family can cultivate it?" Li Shimin: "Because the aristocratic family has mastered the cultural inheritance, mastered the land, and has sufficient wealth."  "Why does the aristocratic family control cultural inheritance? Control the land? Have enough wealth?" Li Shimin: "This, that is what they have accumulated over thousands of years."  "I say you are a coward, but you still don't admit it. I think you are not only a coward, but also stupid. You can be stupid."  Li Shimin swore that if he had a knife on him at this time, he would chop Shang Qingyi with it without hesitation.  "IQ is not high, temper is not small." Shang Qingyi glanced sideways at Li Shimin and said lightly: "If they master the culture, then spread the culture to the world; if they master the land, then take the land from their hands;  If they have wealth, let others have wealth too."  "Domineering", Li Shimin suddenly had the illusion that Shang Qingyi was the emperor and he was just a follower.  "How to spread culture to the world? First, the carrier of culture is paper and books. What you have to do is to first value the status of craftsmen and let them make better paper and better printing. Only by making  Produce high-quality and cheap paper and create convenient and fast printing technology, and you will still be afraid that there will be no books."  "Second, land is the root of most people in the Tang Dynasty. As you said, there are only a few people in the Tang Dynasty now, and the people of the Tang Dynasty are not short of land for the time being, so you can figure this out yourself."  "Third, they have mastered wealth. I believe their wealth does not all come from farming. Where does it come from? Doing business. Don't tell me that their family has no shops. I'm afraid you don't believe it yourself, so you have to do it."  The purpose is to focus on commerce and improve the status of businessmen; while advocating the emphasis on agriculture and suppressing commerce, you have collected so many agricultural taxes, while the commercial taxes are collected casually.  The effect achieved is similar to that of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business.¡±  "A country will not be stable without farmers, it will not be rich without businessmen, it will not be strong without workers, and it will not be governed without scholars. As long as you can make reasonable use of these scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, it will be difficult for the Tang Dynasty not to become strong and prosperous."  "With enough books, we can give each person in the Tang Dynasty two books, one for reading and one for toilet paper. Where do so many books come from? Only the country has money. How many do you want to make?  You can make as much paper as you want, and you can have as many books as you want; but where does the country¡¯s money come from? Commercial taxes are one of them. We can also set up national-level chambers of commerce to do business with other countries, and use our Chinese porcelain.  , silk, tea, etc. It is not easy to make money from other countries.¡±  "When the country is rich, it needs an army that sweeps the world to protect it. But craftsmen can create more powerful weapons to make the country stronger and stronger, so that barbarians will not dare to invade; the last one is the soldiers, I believe you  You know better than I do that those who are good at reading will not necessarily be able to govern the country. Those who can govern the country must be good at studying. Those who can only study culture, let them study culture honestly and do not go to the court to mess around and corrupt Confucianism.  You should have a better understanding of the truth of harming the country than I do."  Shang Qingyi hesitated for a moment and continued: "Financial power, political power, military power, and the three powers must be separated; politics, economics, and law can be separated from each other and promote each other."  Li Shimin was a little dizzy. Shang Qingyi's words seemed to open another direction for him, but Shang Qingyi's words were unclear, making him feel a little confused.  In fact, this is not to blame Shang Qingyi. The development of society requires one step at a time. If the span is too large, problems can easily arise. The reason why he made things unclear is to give people of Li Shimin's generation the opportunity to think and organize themselves;  There is a new direction, and if you think about it and combine it with this era, you will be more suitable for this society.  Shang Qingyi opened the folding fan, but saw the word "wind" on it. Then he saw Shang Qingyi fanning the fan towards Li Shimin. The next moment, Li Shimin had disappeared.  'Well~, I just gave him a good stimulation. Let's see if Li Shimin has the courage. When the time comes, he will slowly spread some modern things, especially steam engines and other things. I believe it will definitely have a negative impact on the world.  A certain shock'.  "As the Tang Dynasty became rich and powerful, the external Sinicization began. Those who do not respect enlightenment can just be slaves. I don't mind."  The surrounding darkness gradually swallowed up this valley fairyland, just like a person's heart gradually darkening.  After leaving Li Shimin's dream, Shang Qingyi noticed that Li Shimin was frowning, as if he was thinking about something; Shang Qingyi smiled slightly and stepped to leave; when he passed through a wall, he found Changsun Wugu sleeping in another room.  ¡®Well~, when Li Shimin wanted to see meNot to be disturbed, he deliberately slept in a separate room with his eldest grandson Wugou. But what did the smile on his lips mean? Was it because he slept in a separate room with Li Shimin?  Or did you have a sweet dream?  Hehe, you¡¯ll know if you come in and take a look.¡¯  Shang Qingyi had a thought and turned into a stream of light that entered Changsun Wugou's eyebrows.
