Chapter 1801

With Jiang Shiwu's words, Jiang Zhicai, the eldest son, spoke decisively, "father, no matter what the political slogan of my general's house was at first, it has been a proposition deeply rooted in all people's hearts for more than 20 years. This can't be moved."

"We can only find a way out from other aspects."

Sometimes political slogans and propositions can't be changed. It's like Li Zicheng, the king of the late Ming Dynasty in the age of inanimate. His advocacy strategy of equalizing farmland and avoiding Fu is one of the biggest driving forces for him to win the world and capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The folk song is the slogan of welcoming the king and not accepting food.

Even later, after taking the capital of the Ming Empire, Li Zicheng found that if the people didn't pay for grain, he would have no income... But he didn't dare to overturn his claim at once. At most, he changed it gently to not pay for the first three years.

As for Li Zicheng's wanton torture of civil and military officials and looting of gold and silver wealth in the capital, in addition to his hatred of giants, more importantly, he had to collect wealth to reward the three armed forces.

If you don't reward the three armies, your army will be in chaos. If you change the idea of welcoming the king of Chuang without food, it is estimated that the local people who used to welcome him will abandon him at once.

Then there will be only torture of civil and military officials.

The political proposition of Jiang Fu's general's house is to love and support the people. Although the current general's house is much better in form than the embarrassment after Li Zicheng captured the imperial capital at the end of the Ming Dynasty, for example, as long as they let the people govern and reduce their meals two times a day by several percent, so that the original people can eat and become seven times full, they can save a lot of food to support the army.

For another example, if nearly one million people are affected, if the disaster relief is not so complete, they can also save a lot of gold and silver wealth to expand armaments. However, Jiang Fu still disapproves of doing so.

Over the years, the general's residence has been used to its people. As long as you are willing to abide by the laws of the general's residence and pay labor, you can have plenty of food and clothing.

Suddenly, if we cut... It is easy to trigger all kinds of wishful thinking among the people.

You think the general's residence can have enough minerals to be transported out for sale. Who is mining? Isn't it the young and strong labor force among nearly millions of people? They often work in mines and work hard just to support their families?

If the situation changes suddenly, even if it won't cause unrest, it's hard to say about people's hearts.

The second Jiang Meng frowned and said, "it's easy for you to say. If you don't reduce people's food, where can you buy military equipment? If it's easy, we can only defend mount Taihua?"

"You just want Gao Zhen to learn and rob those local tyrants and evil gentry. We don't have so many warships and navies, let alone famous naval generals like Gao Zhen."

When it comes to land warfare, Jiang Meng, Jiang Huai and Jiang Tao are very strong. Even if they can't compare with their father Jiang Shiwu, they won't be too far away. But naval warfare is completely another thing.

Old seven Jianghua also smiled bitterly, "big brother, it's not that we don't want to find a new route, but a naval battle. Our caravan's self-protection is OK, and it's even more difficult to talk about progress."

"Even if it is to expand the Navy, there is no one. The fishermen along the coast of Zhao, who have a little experience, have long been raided by Gao Zhen and He Jian. If we let the mountain people go down from the Navy, when will we be qualified?"

A qualified Navy is much more difficult to train than the army. First of all, whether one can get used to the wind and waves at sea is a super big problem.

The high earthquake roared along the coast of Zhao for eight years, and he had almost searched for excellent sources of troops. In those years, the gentry and nobles of Zhao and the gentry and noble forces of Zhao Guolang from the six provinces of big business were also searching for such sources of troops.

At that time, the general's house had more self-protection and less progress. If it missed that era, there would be no suitable source of troops. He Jian's 30000 navies had the most sources, but he inherited the defeated gentry's noble naval sailors and so on.

"Zhao can't do it. What about Wei Zhou and other countries?" Jiang Zugang asked this question and shook his head. He almost forgot some information about Wei Zhou and other countries.

It's not easy for the people of those countries to come out. Even if they come out and don't take refuge in Daqi heaven, who will come to your war-torn state of Zhao.

Unless you forcibly loot, but looting... Is automatically undermining the political opinion of the general's house.

After a pause, he looked at Jiang Hua, "have you ever tried to absorb troops from the coastal provinces in the south of Dachang?"

Jiang Hua smiled bitterly, "our strength is not good, big brother. Our caravan is doing business between Shang and Zhao, and there is a stability. However, if we go to the southern provinces of Da Shang to recruit troops, let alone hate the Shang emperor. Even if it is successful, it still needs to cross the sea area controlled by the provinces in the northwest of Shang. It is easy to be found and sink."

After all, recruitment is not a one-time job. How much do you want to expand the 5000 navy to be qualified to break hands with He Jian and Gao Zhen? He Jian is 30000 elite and 20000 high earthquake. You can only hope to force pressure when you expand to 30000 at least.

But this is what you can do once you run a merchant ship? You can't run ten times.

"Not only is our strength not allowed, but we also have to maintain the original business route and provide enough materials for the general's house."

"We have iron ore, copper ore and our own ordnance station, which can make knives, guns and artillery. However, tea, rice, oil, salt, cloth and so on can not be produced by ourselves, so we can only rely on commerce. If the caravan goes to big merchants to recruit troops, how can we maintain the daily needs of millions of people?"

Talking and talking, Jiang Hua completely understood Jiang Shiwu's mood.

If the original political ideas of the general's house remain unchanged, it will soon be surpassed by He Jian's development until it can collapse the general's house.

However, all kinds of ideas are difficult to realize.

He felt that unless a miracle happened, the future of the Jiang family, a hero, was really worrying.

Under these words, Jiang Fu and Jiang Meng's expression became deeper and deeper.

Seeing that everyone had some depressed emotions, Jiang Shiwu just patted the tables and chairs and laughed, "well, I can't think of a good way forward. It's also a difficult time. My Jiang family will never decay easily until now."

"You should know that there are not only Shang and Zhao countries in the world. Even if one day, He Jian, the king of Zhao, completely revitalizes the royal family and leads 100000 troops to invade, what will happen? We have other ways out, such as taking millions of people to vote together or even to the Tang Dynasty. Which way can't easily gain a bright future?"

"With the mind of the Shang emperor and the king of Qi, how can it not accommodate us?"

Jiang Shiwu has been working hard for more than 20 years. Even if the way out of the general's house is hard to say, it is only in Zhao. The future is worrying. It is likely to be suppressed by He Jian in the future. At that stage, if they don't want to surrender to he Jian, they can also turn to Qi and Tang.

As long as he is willing to hand over his 30000 elite soldiers to the Tang emperor, why worry about wealth? If you take millions of people to vote together, why can't you be a Duke?

Of course, this all refers to the choices that need to be considered only after Zhao's 100% failure to compete for hegemony.

As for surrender to Hejian? He won't choose, not because he doesn't look down on He Jian, but because of his popularity among Zhao people, he is far better than He Jian, the king of Zhao! How frugal you are when you vote? You will keep him rich and noble a few years ago. In the past, you will kill him all over the house.

For the sake of ZTE, He Jian can give him real and stable wealth after the high earthquake in Zhao'an, and even give him wealth and honor in Zhao'an and song Xianan, because those two, one is mediocre and the other is notorious all over Zhao and the Jiang family... It's not too exaggerated to say that at present, the hearts of the 89 million people of Zhao belong to Jiang. If such Jiang Shiwu is willing to surrender to He Jian, he is looking for death.

Investors can't do the same. How many of his enemies are there in Shilin xunguili, six provinces?
