The Prodigal Son of the Mystical Sect

"Three benefits of being a prodigal..."

"First, tactical deception."

Chu Tianxiao wrote.

"The battle to unify the vast territory of China will be a protracted one. In order to prevent the countries from uniting, it is necessary to divide them and encroach step by step. Therefore, the first step is to have a tactical deception."

"Your Majesty, you should know that violent storms cannot last forever, but on the other hand, if the Great Zhou Dynasty uses violent storms to devour the enemy's country at all costs, then the other side will definitely think that this war will never last. In that case, they may You would think that this is just a radical expansion to lay the foundation for unifying the vast land of China, but you would not think that this battle itself is a battle to unify the vast land of China!”

"This is tactical deception, allowing the enemy to misjudge our true strategic policy, in order to win the final initiative in a protracted war and seize the first mover advantage!"

"You need to know that even with the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is unrealistic to counter the alliance of enemy forces across the vast land of China. Moreover, if the other parties really unite, it will already mean failure for this battle - what we want is not a population to wither. The broken unity!”

"Therefore, tactical deception is the necessary first step to unify China, and the stupidest but least easily seen through method is to burn money and lose money!"

When Chu Tianxiao wrote this, his pen suddenly changed.

"But... maybe your Majesty will ask, so, although it has a strategic advantage, it cannot be realized tactically? It is a waste of money, a storm, and it cannot last long. This is common sense and it is difficult to violate it, so how can we make a fuss about it?"

"This brings us to the second benefit of being a prodigal..."

"Feed war with war, and crush it in terms of comprehensive national strength!"

Chu Tianxiao boldly introduced the new term "comprehensive national strength" here, and gave a detailed explanation of the nature of the war. After that, he began to show his real fangs...

"What kind of country does Your Majesty think Great Zhou is? Prosperous trade? Great national power?"

"These are certainly true, but with all due respect, this country still hasn't learned how to... spend money!"

"I'm surprised that with the prosperity of trade in the Great Zhou Dynasty, even commercial banks have learned how to borrow money, but the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has not learned to spend money in advance tomorrow, next month, even next year, and the next ten or twenty years. '! As of now, the empire is still stuck in the mindset of spending money today, making money tomorrow, and then expanding after saving enough..."

"Move forward steadily, is this the ancient system?"

Chu Tianxiao wrote an evaluation unceremoniously.

"funny."

After a pause, he continued writing.

"And it's outdated and childish!"

"Yes... saving enough money and then expanding has been the conclusion of the Great Zhou Dynasty for thousands of years. It may have been appropriate back then to move forward steadily. But now that we are determined to launch a war of unification, if this strategy does not change, it will probably There is no way Zhou’s national power can sustain the day when China can be unified!”

These words are very bold. If it were written by another person, regardless of whether he has the courage or not, these words alone are enough to convict him of "criticizing the ancient system and despising his superiors"... But the problem is, Chu Tianxiao is who?

The only son of Zi Yihou! How could he be compared to some poor family with no foundation?

The humble family can't say such things, but he can, he has that identity!

Of course, this must be the sage of the current Zhou Emperor, otherwise the end of writing like this can be imagined...

At that moment, Chu Tianxiao was filled with thoughts and wrote quickly.

"Da Zhou needs to have the spirit of a wolf! He must learn to spend money, and he must learn to burn money! When it is time to spend money, never be soft-hearted, never shrink back, and never have any scruples!"

Then, Chu Tianxiao introduced the concepts of "treasury bonds" and "term loans" in later finance and explained them in detail. But he was not finished here. He changed his direction and emphasized that prodigal money wasted money again. He began to list examples. First, he started with a Easy-to-understand examples serve as inspiration.

"The people in Huainan are frugal by nature, while the people in Huaibei are luxurious by nature. The two places are divided and governed without suppressing their nature. Twenty years later, what will the people of Huainan be like? They all wear cloth clothes and carry bamboo baskets on their backs; what will happen to the people of Huaibei? They all wear brocade and have concubines in groups."

"This matter has been criticized by some 'scholars' to this day, but in my opinion, there is no distinction between right and wrong."

"Why is luxury necessarily bad? Royal expenses, palace treasures, travel rituals...what is not luxurious? But it shows the power of the Zhou Dynasty and makes everyone fear."

Subsequently, Chu Tianxiao introduced many concepts such as 'economy', 'luxury goods', 'market', 'consumer return' and so on - if the background were different, this policy paper would be considered to be deceiving the public if it dared to be written like this, but In the prosperous business world of Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Zhou would never fail to see the value of gold...

"Spirit coins are spent, but they don't actually disappear. Spending huge amounts of money is actually just putting them into the economic ocean and flowing with the market... Your Majesty should have a transcendent vision and understand that spending money does not mean having less money. Poverty People feel distressed every time they spend a little money, but from the perspective of family and country, they must not be stingy with money - because all the money has not disappeared, they will form a force in the market, return and make Dazhou strong..."

"Give me a simple example."

"Suppose this year the national treasury releases tens of millions of spiritual coins to reward meritorious soldiers, then what will happen?"

"Please imagine, Your Majesty, after a meritorious soldier receives a bounty, he will naturally enjoy himself to the fullest. Drinking and carousing is inevitable first. Then, how can a big house be missing? By the way, buy yourself some decent outfits. It’s also necessary…”

"This alone involves the three industries of brewing, textiles, and construction. One person is not worth mentioning, but how many soldiers are there in the Great Zhou? With the prosperous trade of the Great Zhou, if it is operated properly, how much lijin will the development of these industries return to the national treasury every year? The amount is only terrible!"

"In other words, if the national treasury spends 10 million spirit coins, it will generate at least 100 million spirit coins in output value. In addition, the comprehensive national strength of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty will also be greatly developed. Which is better, this result or 10 million spirit coins left in the national treasury to rot? The result is obvious."

"This is consumption refund."

"But, from the source, giving out 10 million spirit coins to reward soldiers for no reason is... a waste of money."

"So, if you don't change your mindset, it will be hard for Your Majesty to see through the true meaning of a waste of money. You must know that a waste of money is not just a simple waste of money. It is a technical job. Your Majesty is so wise that he will not despise the word "waste of money" at first glance. Everything in this world has both positive and negative sides..."

Chu Tianxiao then made a lot of changes and listed examples such as "Apple" and "Gold" in later generations, introducing the "luxury effect". He wrote hundreds of lines with a sound, and he was still not satisfied.

"...In summary, reversing the ancient system that is not in line with the present, changing conservative ideas, burning money, and wasting money can greatly increase the "comprehensive national strength" of the Great Zhou within ten years, thereby forming the material basis and possibility of realizing the "tactical deception" mentioned in the first point..."

At this point, Chu Tianxiao suddenly changed his pen again.

"But this alone is not enough!"

"To unify the beautiful mountains and rivers, we must have a strong army!"

"The third benefit of losing a family... is that you can build a truly... strong army!"

After writing this, Chu Tianxiao smiled slightly, knowing that it was almost done. If he continued, it would be "inappropriate", so he did not continue to talk about it in depth, but added a sentence at the end with a sense of bad taste.

"To know what happened next, please wait for the next chapter to be published."

When the last word fell, Chu Tianxiao put down his pen and handed it in. Qin Yun, who was smug, and Mo Jun, who was full of resentment, turned to look at him. Just as they were about to mock him, they suddenly heard a loud noise and turned their heads to look, and then... their faces were horrified!

"The holy page moved!"

One person exclaimed, and saw that the holy page suddenly turned to the policy paper written by Chu Tianxiao and trembled violently! This kind of trembling was completely different from the previous slight trembling. It seemed like the throbbing of the soul, and it seemed like an extreme catharsis. The violent fluctuations swept the whole place, causing a group of hidden strongmen to reappear and open the Zhenyuan shield in front of everyone.

The Holy Page moved once!

Moved twice!

Moved three times!

The whole place exclaimed, but before their exclamations fell, the Holy Page moved again!

Moved four times!

Moved five times!

Qin Yun and Mo Jun couldn't believe what they saw. Is this the Holy Page? Is this the Holy Page!

Why is it moving so recklessly as if it doesn't cost anything! ?

Is it over yet!

Is it over yet!

But the facts did not allow them to doubt, and... this... really is not over!

The Holy Page moved six times!

The whole place held their breath.

Moved seven times!

The whole place... was silent.

Moved seven times... It was actually moved seven times...

Looking at the Holy Page that finally stopped, several people felt unreal. What did they see...

Moved seven times?

For thousands of years, no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty has ever made the Holy Page move seven times in a row!

Shocking strategy! This must be a world-shaking policy!

Lu Xianyuan had no time to suppress his excitement, and hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "Quick! Put this policy away, go to the King's Pavilion, and present it to the emperor!"

Seeing the whole scene in chaos, Chu Tianxiao stood up with a lazy look on his face, and said leisurely to Mo Jun and others who seemed to have red and swollen cheeks: "It's not worthy of being presented in a formal hall? Yes, it's not worthy of being presented in a formal hall."
