    If Jing's words get out, I don't know how much discussion it will cause.  Because China has a tradition of attaching importance to territory since ancient times, it will never give up its own territory easily.  This is actually the characteristic of the farming nation. This characteristic is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. Even those officers and military generals who are not engaged in production still have this national characteristic.  If Jing specifically uses plunder as his guiding ideology instead of truly making them his direct subordinates, this is simply challenging everyone's thinking.  ¡° And Jing Shen knew why many officials in ancient times opposed the expansion of territory. After all, the expansion of territory and territory was not something that could just be conquered. There was still a long list of follow-up projects to be completed.  Therefore, expanding territory requires a lot of capital, which will completely hinder the development of other places.  This is also the reason why officials oppose the expansion of territory, because the farther away from the political center, the smaller the control, and there is no way to do this.  This problem will not be solved even in later generations, because even the US military in later generations will have to place bases all over the world before they can control the world?  Without these troops stationed all over the world, it would be impossible to send troops to any place as quickly as possible.  As for expanding the territory, everything from garrisoning troops to all kinds of things will be troublesome.  Therefore, opening up new territory and expanding territory often does not improve the country's strength, but instead delays its own development.  Even Jing knows that if the country cannot gradually develop into an industrialized country, no matter how large an agricultural country it is, it will not be able to compete with an industrialized country.  Therefore, for people in this period, the bigger the territory, the better. Instead, it is just appropriate.  As long as industrialization can be achieved, the territory controlled will increase significantly.  Before industrialization can be achieved, the best way is to establish colonies and then plunder them vigorously.  Anyway, don't think of this place as your own.  Just plunder quickly.  "Your Majesty, the central idea of ??the colony is to plunder, and plunder hard. As long as we can send as few people as possible. Then we can go to foreign countries and those barbaric places with abundant resources to plant fields and provide various minerals.  Dig it out. Then transport it all back to the country, so that there will be more resources in the country. We can also use this method for the newly occupied land in the future," Jing said.  But Li Shimin said: "By doing this, are we just thinking about the present? After all, we still have to really occupy these lands in the future!" And Jing had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, with the current strength of our Datang, although we nominally own the north  It's very far away, but how much territory can we control? I'm afraid even the Governor doesn't know how much territory there is in the Anbei Protectorate, so our best way is to just find a way to plunder it at any time.  Only by withdrawing the surnames can we gain huge benefits. If we go through a large-scale cultivation of various surnames and send out appropriate officials, then we will definitely spend a lot of money. " "If it is a colony.  , then we just need to organize a large number of people to go outside in the name of the government or with the capital of merchants, and then cultivate the land in an organized way, and then dig out those minerals, because the people are all organized, so we only need very little.  Officials can also organize themselves, and even allow businessmen to assist local officials to a certain extent. In this way, the people we send have tasks. They just need to produce food and various mineral deposits, and then gradually transport them back.  Domestic is enough. As for the place to live, we only need to build some tents. We don't need to build various buildings like a regular city, and we don't even need to build walls. In this way, we just need to get huge benefits from there.  We don't need to make any additional investments. We can reduce the amount of investment to the minimum and maximize the possibility of obtaining products. This way, we can get a lot of benefits from the local people, and then gradually let the local people know more.  Life is getting better and better. " Li Shimin finally understood that this is actually the idea of ????plundering hard, and then continuously getting benefits to make the country's life gradually better and better.  But this kind of thinking is actually just a trick to others.  To make yourself better off.  As for those lands that cannot be directly controlled for the time being, we should focus on plundering local interests as much as possible.  And don't even think about actual occupation.  As long as benefits can be obtained, these places can be abandoned at any time.  No need to regret it.  "But there is no precedent for this!" Li Shimin said suddenly.  " And Jing realized Li Shimin's problem, that is, he wanted to find a precedent.  After all, many of the rulers in ancient China wanted to find so-called precedents from Confucian classics before they could govern with confidence.  Anyway, it depends on the precedent. If there is no precedent, they will not dare to take the initiative to set a precedent. This is the problem of these guys in ancient times.  Jing was also a little speechless, but sinceAfter Li Shimin said this, Na Jing was naturally very upset and started to find a precedent for Li Shimin.  After all, it is difficult to find such a precedent. This is clearly exploiting local people, and many "jun" in the country will not agree to it.  However, Li Shimin has also been tempted. After all, this kind of colony is the so-called way of human beings.  The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiencies by making up for the excess, but this colony did try to scrape the assets of those poor places when it was rich. This is also the way of man to make up for the deficiencies by making up for the losses.  But who would think that the surname in their country is rich, and a rich surname means that the royal family is also richer.  Since a colony is to be established, it is natural to send out caravans and officials to exploit it, and the benefits recovered by then can be divided among everyone.  The royal family and officials accounted for at least half of the cake, while the businessmen accounted for more than ten percent. As for the remaining twenty percent, it was divided among the surnames.  Who wouldn¡¯t like it when it¡¯s raining and dewing evenly?  Although Li Shimin, an old guy, looks like he's not talking about his own interests, this guy knows very well the important role of the so-called "A'du thing" in his heart.  Who in this world doesn't like this kind of thing?  As long as they have these things, many people can do it (to be continued)
