Zhen Guo Princess GL

I finished reading Dugu Shao's book, and my mother ordered me to go in again, but only set up two tables, one small table, one large table, and three small tables. Cooked vegetables, and then put a hot pot, one side of the large table is a lot of chopped lettuce, and one side is porridge, cakes, soup and other things.

My mother smiled at me and said: "I didn't prepare your meal, so I had to take a portion out of my own pocket. If you don't have enough to eat, I will order them to serve more snacks in the afternoon."

I said: "It doesn't matter, Auntie has prepared a hot pot. If there is not enough food, tell them to cut vegetables and cook the hot pot right now." When it came to hot pot, I had a whim, and smiled: "The best way to eat hot pot, oh Does mother know?" Seeing her shaking her head, she crawled to her side and sat upright by her desk: "Hot pot is best for family and friends to sit around and eat while chatting."

Mother said: "You have a whim again, and you have come up with some weird ideas."

I laughed and said, "Ma'am, don't believe me, try it." I ordered someone to fetch the dishes and set them up on the table in a mess. I was wearing a narrow-sleeved shirt inside, so I took off my outer robe and threw a handful of vegetables into the pot. , my mother frowned, raised her chopsticks and tapped on my hand: "I don't have a system."

I hugged her hand and said, "Grandmother, try it." She stood up unhappily, except for the long sleeves of the toga, when I sat back, I had already chased everyone out, and the hot dishes were neatly arranged. Put it in front of her eyes, and when she chose a chopstick, she said: "I have a copy of what A Niang gave me."

My mother glanced at me and swallowed the food slowly. Before she could open her mouth, I brought her another cup of green plum tea: "The hot pot is hot, drink some tea to cool it down—in fact, it's best to eat hot pot with ice. Someone move the tea outside to cool it? It would be even better if there are ice drinks.” Thinking that the mother has tasted the beauty of this way of eating, she no longer picks on my dining etiquette. She took a sip of tea, first Said: "Hot and cold stimulate each other, not the way to keep in good health." Looking around, Fang said: "You read a copy, what do you think?"

I said: "Dugu Shao handles things well, works diligently to farm the fields, and the most rare thing is that he does not hide his selfishness. A Niang has not misjudged the person."

My mother picked up a chopsticks dish for me: "Look at another one."

I was a little flattered: "Auntie is still eating..."

My mother squinted at me: "You specially want to eat like this, isn't it just for this comfort? Since you can eat and chat, why can't you eat and watch at the same time?"

I didn't expect her to be so open-minded. She laughed, took a step back, and opened Cui Mingde's memorabilia. What Dugu Shao said was the same as that of Dugu Shao, it was a supplement to the original frontier policy, but what Dugu Shao supplemented was the cultivation of the land and "using the Hu to control the Hu", while what Cui Mingde said was deeper, not only deep, but also in my opinion. It can be regarded as... unscrupulous.

At the beginning of Dugu Shao’s Shangshu, he mentioned the three strategies of border trade, saying that the market should be opened to trade with the Hu people, so as to collect information. The benefits of buying and dividing the tribes of the Hu people, but now Cui Mingde has gone a step further, proposing that the imperial court open up border trade, buy at high prices and sell at low prices, let them profit and move them with power, so that the Hu people can profit from business and become nomads. For suffering; the imperial court gradually seduces, selects a few places, gathers Hu people and traders, and forms a fixed settlement. From then on, they are lazy in herding and hunting, and gradually become attached to them; everything that Hu people are good at, such as wine, eagles, dogs, gold and silver All utensils must be tried to make people steal their teachers and learn the skills in their hands. However, all things that involve medicine, farming, etc. that are necessary for people's livelihood must be strictly guarded against, and must not be sold into the barbarians. Agriculture, construction, metallurgy, etc. rely on the output of our Central Plains; all luxury items in the Central Plains, whether free or cheap, must be made popular in Hudi, and the leaders of foreign vassals will make it a fashion and make comparisons a common thing. The imperial court exported these luxuries, not in exchange for money and silk, but in exchange for fodder, tents, furs and other lowly things necessary for people's livelihood. It is inevitable to plunder wantonly for their own selfishness. If things go on like this, the leaders are sitting on extravagant things and the people have nothing to live on. Disadvantages: In addition to extravagant things, the imperial court can also give or sell more wine and beauties and various tribes. If necessary, they can even choose a large number of beauties to go for marriage. Propagating to the Hu people the ideas that the Central Plains disdains... All in all, Cui Mingde's words and sentences are aimed at making the upper class indulge in pleasure and not think about making progress, while the lower class will be precarious and unable to make a living. At that time, the imperial court may win over the ministries and leaders. Fighting each other, or sticking to the city and waiting for the barbarians to freeze and starve, or giving a little aid to make the tribes fight each other can all be reaped.But when I thought of how many lives and blood were behind this, I felt a chill down my spine. It took me a while to close the memorial, and I looked at my mother. She had been eating hot pot leisurely. Put meat into my bowl with chopsticks: "Your way of eating is not bad. You can try this way when the chancellor meets to eat. It's very lively while eating and chatting about the cardinal's important affairs - I just hope that the opponents don't eat while eating." Splash people with hot soup."

I murmured: "Mother, Ah Cui is really brilliant, son... not as far as her."

Mother's smile deepened: "Really? But according to her, it was only after you had the right idea that day. She agreed with you very much, and felt that it is the strength of the country that fights, not the soldiers, so All the ideas I came up with were aimed at the vagrant habits of the barbarians."

I said dejectedly: "She just boasted about me because I am a princess."

The mother was silent, and said after a while: "I also think you are right."

I looked up in amazement, and my mother raised her eyes and smiled, and put down the chopsticks: "You have been looking at it for so long, do you have any other ideas besides this good idea?"

I was silent for a while: "This idea is both cruel and kind."

The mother seemed a little surprised, squinting her eyes and chuckling: "Go ahead."

I closed my eyes and said: "This idea is extremely cruel to the Hu people. If it works well, the Hu people may die because of this. However, it can make the frontier stable, prevent wars, and save countless border guards in my Zhou Dynasty. The lives of the soldiers have saved countless people of my Great Zhou from being separated from their wives and children and buried in other lands, and the death of the people of other countries to live the lives of my people is also considered kindness.”

Mother showed an approving expression, got up slowly, and walked to me: "You are indeed very good, better than what Auntie thought." After a pause, she continued: "You said 'politics' that day, the two words It is used very well. Isn't the government of a country "politics"? "War is the continuation of politics." The foundation for the livelihood of hundreds of millions of people, one command and one payment of ultimatum can easily change the fate of millions of people, sometimes it is good, sometimes it is bad, but no matter whether it is good or bad, the person who issued the order cannot tolerate guilt and regret, you do you know?"

I looked up at her: "My son knows, so my son... wants to learn better."

My mother looked at me for a long time, and after a long time, she stretched out her hand and put it lightly on my head: "You should give me a brief introduction to the matter of military studies. If you are afraid of causing big controversy, you can join hands with Dan'er."
