Chapter Four hundred and ninety sixth: Off the track!
There is no doubt that the Ming Military Academy is the best military academy in the entire Little Ball, and the International Students Branch is also a paradise that international students in all countries have always dreamed of. Not to mention outstanding graduates like Napoleon and Li Qiwei, even international students who graduated with ordinary grades will be valued after returning to their respective countries.
Unfortunately, most of the talents cultivated by this talent cradle in the eyes of other countries have one or another.
For example, Napoleon always believed that the weak situation of Europa was because there was no powerful emperor who unified Europa; for example, Charles de Gaulle always believed that the existence of the emperor was purely redundant, and that only distribution according to work could save Europa, while the artist in Austria firmly believed that Europa's monarch and distribution according to work were both cancers and should be swept into the garbage dump of history.
Li Qiwei from the silly thief Ying family also has a "small" problem, that is, Li Qiwei firmly believes that governing the country requires strict restraints on officials and chaebols, otherwise there will be cases where officials and chaebols collude and become traitors.
The same is true for international students in other countries, and they all have all kinds of minor problems.
These minor problems cannot be said to be wrong - for example, Europa. Europa is indeed broken up because there is no powerful emperor who unified Europa. Is there nothing wrong with this? For example, the monarchs of Europa have no good performance, and they are considered redundant, right?
Including Li Qiwei's idea of strictly restraining officials and chaebols, there is nothing wrong with that. After all, the rich chaebols need spokespersons for governance. The Ming Dynasty's Chongzhen Emperor is the best example.
The key is that these minor problems are infinitely magnified.
Napoleon dreamed that Louis XVI could unify Europa strongly, while Charles de Gaulle hoped that France would implement constitutional monarchy as soon as possible, while the artist in Austria wanted to forcibly promote the concept of world harmony to the entire Europa.
As for Li Qiwei's classmate...
There is a joke that says: Emperor Chongzhen got the chance to be the emperor again after hanging the old crooked neck tree. Emperor Chongzhen decided to reuse the factory guard this time... and then there was a series of tricks from the principal.
Li Qiwei's current idea is actually similar to the principal's idea. Not only do he have the idea of "If you want to solve external problems, you must first solve internal problems", but he also unanimously believes that factory guards must be reused.
Of course, it would be no big deal if Li Qiwei thought so. After all, Li Qiwei was just an officer with little real power. The army of the silly thief Ying family is in the hands of the chaeye chaebol masters. Li Qiwei alone can't make much noise.
The problem is that Adams was led to a deviation from Li Qiwei's words!
Especially Li Qiwei's words that can find out all the information he wants to know will be the best help for Adams to lead the foolish thief to greatness, and it will directly bring Adams into the ditch.
But after being happy, Adams frowned slightly and said, "Fobole alone is probably not enough, right? In addition, is Fobole's power too great?"
Li Qiwei nodded and replied seriously: "Yes, Mr. Commander, Fobole is your best help to lead the silly thief eagle to greatness, but it cannot replace the role of the army and the court, just as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty never simply relies on the Jinyiwei."
"As for your concern about whether Fobole's power will be too big... In addition to the Jinyiwei, the Ming Dynasty also has the Dongchang. The Dongchang is a specialized person in charge of supervising the Jinyiwei. The first order of the Dongchang is also a slave to the Ming Emperor, so he naturally does not need to worry about the Dongchang's betrayal."
Li Qiwei's words directly solved Adams's question, and even the problems he was worried about were solved. Adams suddenly became happy and shouted with excitement: "What are you waiting for? You don't need to consider the funding matters. The things we discussed today will not reach the ears of those chaebol masters of Yici Leye. Take action, Li Qiwei, I'm waiting to hear your good news!"
Li Qiwei was stunned.
It actually doesn't cost much money to form Fobo Le, and it doesn't matter whether this matter has been heard by those chaebol masters of Yici Leye.
What is important is the manpower and the corresponding funds.
Although the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty was named a guard and indeed belonged to the Five Army Governor's Office in terms of organization, the Jinyiwei was not very good at the Five Army Governor's Office. Moreover, the Jinyiwei's staff were all over the small broken balls. Even if calculated based on the minimum one dragon ingot note per person per day, tens of thousands of Jinyiwei would have to spend tens of thousands of dollars a day on the Ming Dynasty dragon ingot note.
Even though Fobole was not able to reach the cost of spending tens of thousands of dragon yuan a day when it was just formed, it is always necessary to spend hundreds or thousands of dragon yuan a day, right?
Over time, this is not a small amount!
However, just when Li Qiwei was stunned, Adams directly opened the answer: "There is a family behind them, and I, Adams, also a family behind me! Thank God, my father left me with such a rich family background back then!"
After sighing, Adams looked at Li Qiwei with interest and asked, "You have learned more than this for four years in the Ming Dynasty, right? Also, don't just learn military things."
Adams's question seems to have hit a point that Li Qiwei cannot describe.
As an outstanding graduate of the International Student Branch of the Ming Military Academy, Li Qiwei certainly could not have learned only military things, and of course he not only learned the concept of relying on factories and guards to govern the country.
But Li Qiwei was somewhat born at the wrong time. At that time, he returned from the Ming Dynasty with a lot of knowledge and was planning to perform his knowledge to serve the foolish thief. Thomas Jefferson, the unlucky guy, was impeached and stepped down. Li Qiwei, who had just obtained a half-time position, was also labeled as the Jefferson faction and would not be reused from now on.
Now that Adams suddenly asked Li Qiwei if he had learned anything else, Li Qiwei couldn't help but feel a little excited.
After a moment of pondering, Li Qiwei said in a deep voice: "When I was in the Ming Dynasty, I also learned the five techniques of controlling the people."
Adams couldn't help but be curious and asked, "What are the Five Techniques of Controlling the People?"
Li Qiwei said: "The so-called five techniques for controlling the people were proposed by a sage called Shangjun from Zhongyuan Hall, namely one people, weak people, tired people, humiliating people, and poor people."
"Yimin means letting everyone follow the steps of the commander, and no one can have other ideas."
"With the people, we must have a strong country and a weak people."
"The irony is saying that they should find things for the civilians to do, so that they can spend every day busy, without the time and energy to think about other things."
"Insulting the people is to make the people lose their self-esteem and confidence, instigating them to report and expose each other, and let them live in fear all day long."
"The poor mean that apart from the need to maintain a living, the civilians cannot possess more means of production and cannot save money in their hands."
"If the five are not effective, kill them."
Adams immediately became interested.
The five techniques of Shang Jun controlling the people mentioned by Li Qiwei are actually used by the foolish thief eagle, but the specific usage is slightly different from that of Zhongyuan Hall.
Yimin, the various Yici Leye chaebols of the Shadow Thief family and the descendants of the Mayflower Bandits Gang looked at each other disliked each other. It was naturally unrealistic to expect them to call on the people of the Shadow Thief family to follow the commander's footsteps through the newspaper, and it was not in line with the interests of the Yici Leye chaebol master and the Mayflower Bandits Gang aristocrats.
However, not calling on the people of the silly thief Ying family to follow the footsteps of the commander, it does not mean that the Yici Leye chaebol master and the Mayflower bandits and nobles do not play the art of Yimin.
They are playing the game of vigorously promoting the distribution according to work, and at the same time vigorously promoting the principle of God creating the world, so as to achieve the goal of meeting the people.
Weak people, the foolish thief eagle itself is still a weak chicken. The civilians of the foolish thief eagle family are now barely fighting with the people of Yin Di'an, so it doesn't matter whether they are weak or weak.
As for the tired people, insulting people, and the poor, there is nothing to say. After all, the men of Yici Leye chaebol are all masters. Even if Adams and the noble men of the descendants of the Mayflower Bandits Gang do not play this game, those men of Yici Leye chaebol will play it.
But no one has been able to organize such a complete theories, and they are more acting on instinct and experience.
After thinking about it secretly, Adams felt that this theory was simply tailor-made for the foolish thief - the ones who need weak, humiliating and poor are the men who give it to the chaebols!
Just as Adams was thinking about the five techniques of controlling the people, Li Qiwei continued: "When the Tatars occupied the entrance of the Central Plains, they had an official named Heshen, who once proposed a theory that saving the people must first save the officials."
Adams was stunned and asked, "Why save the people and the officials first?"
Li Qiwei said: "The so-called saving the people first means that when civilians are affected by disasters, they must first ensure the safety and interests of the officials. Only by ensuring the safety and interests of the officials can they focus on the matter of relieving the civilians."
"For example, Zhongyuan Tangkou suffered a flood, and Heshen and Zhongtang, who were in charge of disaster relief at the time, deliberately allowed the officials and men to make money and allow them to exchange grain for bran to distribute it to the victims, because one pound of grain can be exchanged for three pounds of bran, so that more people can survive."
Speaking of this, Li Qiwei suddenly looked at Adams who nodded repeatedly and asked, "Mr. Commander, do you think this theory is right or wrong?"
Adams felt something wrong with his instinct.
This theory sounds like nothing wrong, but if it is really nothing wrong, why should Li Qiwei ask this question specifically?
After thinking for a long time, I couldn't figure out the reason. Adams simply asked directly: "What's wrong with this theory?"
Li Qiwei sneered and said, "The biggest mistake in this theory is that even if a pound of grain can be exchanged for ten kilograms of bran, those officials will not distribute all of the ten kilograms of bran to the victims, but will give the victims one kilogram of bran and then sell the remaining nine kilograms."
"Just like the chaebol masters of our silly thief family, they will not feel satisfied no matter how much benefits they give them, and they will not think about dividing these benefits even a little bit."
"If we have been following Daming, one of the five great good people from Xiaobo, and Daming is willing to guarantee our stupid thief's status as a silly thief, then there is no problem with all this, but don't forget that the men of Yituo Leye's chaebol were very dissatisfied with Daming, and they even wanted to provoke the relationship between Qin and Jin."
"Once the Emperor of Ming Dynasty discovered what they did, will our foolish thief eagle be attacked by Qin? When Qin attacked our foolish thief eagle, will those chaebols who are the thief eagle give money to the treasury?"
"Before the Tatars occupied the entrance of the Central Plains, the wealthy merchants of the Ming Dynasty who were almost the same as the Yici Leye chaebol did not take out a penny. Instead, they smuggled arms to the Tatars for profit!"
Adams was irritated.
Many things are actually like window paper - Adams had long felt that something was wrong with Yici Leye's chaebol, but he couldn't figure out what was going on. It was not until Li Qiwei took the Donglin gentlemen of the Ming Dynasty to give an example that Adams suddenly realized.
Adams immediately ordered Li Qiwei: "Li, I hope you can find some books from the Ming Dynasty for me, and I will study these theories hard."
After Li Qiwei responded, Adams changed his mind and turned the topic to Yin Di'an people: "Li, you also heard the meeting just now. The men of Yici Leye's chaebol said that they should encourage civilians to target those Yin Di'an people, and you have expressed your attitude just now."
Li Qiwei nodded: "Yes, your respected commander, since we, the silly thief, have an army, we should let the soldiers go to the battlefield, rather than let the soldiers hide behind the civilians."
Adams said with a huff: "I understand your thoughts, but those chaebols of Yituye will not agree with your point of view, and I will not give you too much support in this regard."
Li Qiwei was stunned and was a little confused about Adams' attitude.
Adams continued, "So, I need you to find a way to train your own troops while forming Fobole and strive to get some military power. I will give you the greatest help within my authority. When we can truly control the silly thief, you can slowly use your debt."
After Adams finished speaking, Li Qiwei fell into chaos.
After saying so much, what you are trying to do is to want the horse to run, but not to want to give it grass?
Die Lei Lou!
But after scolding Adams in his heart, Li Qiwei was also aroused by Adams' fighting spirit.
It was fine if I couldn’t see any chance in the past. Now, since there are opportunities to win, Li Qiwei is confident enough to quickly grasp part of the military power, and is also confident that he can create Fobo Le in the shortest time!
