Chapter 809

Li Jiyu sat back on the table and asked in a deep voice: "Reform? How to reform?"

Gao Huan's proclaimance made Li Jiyu frightened.

For the Tang Dynasty, Gan Chao was already a huge monster. Even if Gao Huan attacked, even if it was as solid as Tongguan, it would probably be difficult to resist.

Niu Jinxing looked at Li Jiyu's expression, "I will tell you a story to Your Majesty!"

Li Jiyu is not in the mood to hear any stories now. His old rival Gao Huan became the emperor and led a vast land than the Tang Dynasty. More military and civilians have made him unable to sleep or eat.

"What story?" Li Jiyu said impatiently.

Niu Jinxing said in a deep voice: "During the Zhou Dynasty, Qin was enfeoffed in Guanzhong. Compared with other vassal states, they were relatively weak in military, politics, economy, and culture and were not valued by the Central Plains. However, such a small country emerged, surpassed other vassal states, and eventually unified the world!"

Li Jiyu raised his eyebrows, as if he had a hint of interest.

Niu Jinxing continued: "Like today, the West is strong and Gan is strong, while our Tang Kingdom is weak. We are not as good as Gan Kingdom in military, economic and cultural aspects. I think the rise of Qin can be used as a reference for Your Majesty."

Li Jiyu narrowed his eyes, "The Prime Minister continued."

Niu Jinxing said: "The Second Qin Dynasty died, leaving behind the name of tyrannical Qin, which has been criticized for all generations. Because the Qin Dynasty was established, it soon perished. Therefore, later dynasties admired the Qin King's spirit of sweeping Liuhe and lamented the military strength of Qin, but few people said they wanted to learn from Qin and regarded Qin as a typical example of failure. However, I think that the Second Qin Dynasty died in Qin, compared with other dynasties, was indeed a failure, but Qin became the seven heroes of the Warring States Period from a small western country, and then swept Liuhe, but it was a success. I think that our Tang Dynasty can imitate Qin!"

Li Jiyu was pondering inside and suddenly saw a glimmer of hope.

Although Qin died in the second lifetime, the process of changing from a small western country to a unified empire is indeed worth learning from the Tang Dynasty.

After all, Qin could unify the world, and the current Tang Kingdom did not even have the chance to die in the second lifetime.

Li Jiyu doesn't care about that much, as long as he destroys Gao Huan first, even if he dies in his second life, it will be his son's business.

For others, the death of a second life is a lesson, but for Li Jiyu, it is something he can't get.

After all, it is better to die in the second life than to die in the first life.

Li Jiyu couldn't help but sit up straight and became serious, "My dear, tell me how Qin State rose up and how it unified the world?"

Niu Jinxing said: "The rise of Qin is first of all to dominate the Western Rong. After Duke Xiang of Qin's death, from Duke Wen of Qin, Qin did not rashly look east and fight against the powerful Guandong country. Instead, after the efforts of several generations of kings, he defeated the Western Rong one after another, expanded his territory, improved his own system, and made the national strength develop rapidly, and finally became a powerful country in Guanzhong!"

Niu Jinxing looked at Li Jiyu and said, "Now the Gan country is strong, and our Tang Dynasty has the solidity of Tongguan. I think Your Majesty should follow the example of Qin. When he is weak, don't go to war with Gan country rashly, but only guard the passes and subdue the Mongolian and Tibetan tribes to the west, work hard to govern, and strengthen the strength of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Duke Mu of Qin was ambitious and wanted to dominate the Central Plains, but Qin met the more powerful Jin State. In the battle with Jin State, three generals were captured and the Qin army was wiped out. Jin State blocked the Qin State's road to advance eastward. Duke Mu of Qin learned his lessons, searched for talents everywhere, and used guest officials from other countries, and learned the lessons of failure. Finally, Qin State restored its strength and returned to its position as a strong country."

Li Jiyu said in a deep voice: "I went east several times, but I was defeated by Gao Huan. The road to the east of the Tang Dynasty was also blocked by Ganguo."

Niu Jinxing bowed and said: "Duke Mu of Qin was able to learn from his lessons, recruit talents, learn from his experience and lessons in the war in Jin State, and strictly train his army. Qin State finally became strong and strong. After that, Qin State destroyed the twelve Western Rong countries, opened up more than a thousand miles of territory, and dominated the Western Rong. It was Duke Mu of Qin that made Qin State have no worries and a stable rear, and thus became a second-class power second only to Jin State and Qi State."

Li Jiyu's eyes were sharp and his blood was rising. He was so excited by Niu Jinxing's story that he felt that he was the original Duke Mu of Qin.

Niu Jinxing saw Li Jiyu's expression and directly skipped the decline of Qin after Duke Mu of Qin for more than a hundred years. He did not mention the embarrassment of Qin's "no way to the east, no way to the south, no way to Bashu" in Qin's embarrassment, nor did he say that after Wei Wenhou appointed Li Jue's reform, his national strength quickly became stronger, encroached on the land of Hexi of Qin, and secretly peeked at Guanzhong, and directly talked about Shang Yang's reform.

Niu Jinxing continued: "When Qin Xiaogong, he resisted the opposition and appointed Wei Yang as the Great Master, and began to implement reforms."

Li Jiyu quickly replied: "I know this, it's called Shang Yang's reform!"

Niu Jinxing nodded, "Shang Yang's reforms, by abolishing the old system of family honors and honors, establishing a system of 20th-class military merits and titles, and rewarding farming and weaving, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, severely punishing private struggles, implementing county and county systems, attaching importance to agricultural production, and unifying weights and measures. Shang Yang burned poetry and books and clarified laws and regulations, and finally helped Qin establish a centralized system. Since then, Qin's combat power has been continuously strengthened, and the whole country has been united and unifying the outside world, regaining the land of Hexi, and finally becoming a great country that no one can despise. When Qin King Ying Zheng ascended the throne, he began to conquer the six countries and finally unify the world."

After listening to the story of Qin, Li Jiyu couldn't calm down for a long time.

At this moment, he felt that he was not fighting alone, but was blessed by the ancestors of Qin Dynasty.

Although he was not a Qin person, he was a Henan person, so he should be a Qin's old enemy, Wei.

Although he was not from the Zhao family of Ying, it did not prevent Li Jiyu from becoming a spiritual Qin person.

At this time, Li Jiyu couldn't help but feel that the name of Tang was a bit hasty, and he actually had nothing to do with the Li Tang Dynasty.

Li Jiyu's face flushed and he said excitedly: "Prime Minister, do you think my Tang Dynasty can be like Qin?"

Niu Jinxing fell to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the population of Qin was only five million at that time. After the Shang Jun reform, he could mobilize a large army of millions to sweep the six countries. Now our Tang Dynasty has a population of more than two million. As long as the reform is in a strong way, it is not a problem to go east, and it is safe to occupy Guanzhong."

Li Jiyu sat at the table and fell into a deep voice. Given the current situation of the Tang Kingdom, if it does not change, it will be a matter of time to be destroyed.

So why not try the reform, but Li Jiyu is a little suspicious, can Niu Jinxing be able to host the reform well?

Although Li Jiyu was already hot, he was not confused. He knew that Guanzhong was fertile at that time, and the current Guanzhong was overdeveloped by the Han and Tang dynasties, the land was completely different from that of nearly two thousand years ago.

Niu Jinxing continued: "Your Majesty, since he was King of Liang, Gao Huan has valued Li Yan in his country to carry out reforms. This is just like Wei Wenhou, who valued Li Jue's reforms and appointed Wu Qi to establish Wei Wushu. Gao Huan's strength has gradually become stronger. If Your Majesty can reform like Qin Xiaogong, our Tang Dynasty will definitely be able to fight against Gao Huan."

Li Jiyu stood up and said that reform was indeed the only way out for the Tang Kingdom. He asked in a deep voice: "How is the Qing family planning to implement reform?"

Niu Jinxing said in a deep voice: "In the military, we compiled Qin soldiers, imitated the equipment of Ganguo, and learned the experience of Ganguo. In agriculture, we developed the Hetao Guanzhong and developed animal husbandry. We have different conditions from Liang. I think we can follow Qin, emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce, and promote farming wars."
