I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

The Great Tang Emperor Taizong plane.

When Li Shimin heard the name of the Wagang Army, he felt quite emotional.

Thinking back then, among the various anti-Sui forces at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Wagang Village was definitely considered powerful.

Even when Wagang Village was at its strongest, it had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and controlled a large area of ​​the Central Plains, and could be considered the strongest force in the world.

However, just as it was growing stronger, serious internal strife occurred and eventually fell apart.

They also gained a lot of talents.

"Li Mi is really ambitious but not talented."

Li Shimin did not think highly of the leader of Wagang Village who later surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and then rebelled.

Behind Li Shimin.

Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie and other old people in Wagang Village looked at the giant screen in the sky with complicated expressions.

They have feelings for Wagang Village and Wagang Army.

……

[During the more than 50 years of the Five Dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty, heroes emerged and occupied several states and fought against each other. ]

[The most powerful fighters belonged to the Shanxi people. ]

[After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Wen occupied Daliang and fought with Li Keyong of the Jin Dynasty for many years. Although he was able to temporarily gain an advantage during the Zhu Wen era, he sealed the Jin army in Hedong. ]

[But as soon as Zhu Wen died, the Jin army broke through Kaifeng and replaced the Later Liang to establish the Later Tang. ]

[The Later Tang army had a great advantage over the surrounding ten countries and conquered the Former Shu Kingdom in Sichuan. ]

……

"?"

After reading this passage, many ancient people in the past dynasties were puzzled.

According to this statement, shouldn't the strongest army of this era be the army under Zhu Wen?

After all, the Jin army was suppressed by Zhu Wen's army.

……

[During the Song Dynasty, the military strength was weak, and everyone knew it. ]

The bullet screen flew out:

"The Song Dynasty was weak, is this known to everyone?"

"No way, the Zhao family chose it themselves."

"..."

The plane of Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin sighed in his heart.

Every time at this time, his Great Song Dynasty would always be ridiculed by people in later generations.

……

[Of course, there was the problem of the "200" military system of the Song Dynasty, but the northern grassland empires such as Liao, Jin, and Xia had been fully sinicized, and their national systems and war potential were at a considerable level. ]

[Therefore, the Song army fought against various countries for hundreds of years, but did not achieve such a brilliant record as Emperor Wu of Han's defeat of the Hu and the Tang's destruction of the Turks. ]

[It is indeed far-fetched to say that the Song army can fight. 】

【But among the Song army, the Western Army has considerable combat effectiveness. 】

The bullet screen flew out:

"I don't agree with this. The Yue Family Army is not weak. It can defeat the Jin Army's Crooked Horse and Iron Pagoda head-on."

"Reply - Yes, the Yue Family Army is very strong, and its record is solid."

"..."

Southern Song plane.

When the generals of the Yue Family Army saw the praise from the later generations in the bullet screen, they all smiled..

……

[The Western Army of the Northern Song Dynasty and the early Southern Song Dynasty was stationed roughly in the border area of ​​Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan, and most of the soldiers came from various routes in Shaanxi. ]

[The Western Army Zhong and Zhe families produced famous generals, and even the Wu brothers, the commanders of the Western Army of the Southern Song Dynasty, all had their own way of fighting. ]

[But due to the weakening of national strength, its quality is inevitably discounted. ]

Barrage flew out:

"It has to be the children of Guanzhong."

"People in Guanzhong are really good at fighting."

"It's a pity that they encountered the Song Dynasty, which valued civil over military."

"..."

The plane of Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin sighed again.

……

[In the Ming Dynasty, the Zhejiang soldiers shined because of their resistance to the Japanese pirates. 】

[During the reign of Emperor Zhengde and Emperor Jiajing, the soldiers of the garrisons were almost useless. 】

[Faced with the increasing chaos caused by Japanese pirates, the Ming Dynasty began to recruit soldiers. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked:

"The soldiers of the garrisons are almost useless?"

"Why is this?"

"Is there no soldier available or is the soldier unusable?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered in his heart.

It is not a good phenomenon that the soldiers of the garrisons were replaced by recruited soldiers.

It shows that there is a serious problem with the garrison system he designed.

……

[Famous general Qi Jiguang arrived in Zhejiang and thought that "Jinhua and Yiwu are known for their fierceness, so he asked to recruit 3,000 people to teach them how to strike and stab, and use long and short weapons alternately. As a result, Jiguang's army was very elite." ("Qi Jiguang Biography in Ming History") Tan Lun, the deputy envoy of the sea route, also knew that Zhejiang soldiers could be used, so he "recruited more good families in eastern Zhejiang to teach them." ]

[The Japanese pirates, which had caused great trouble to the Ming Dynasty, were eventually suppressed by Zhejiang soldiers, which shows how strong the Zhejiang soldiers were. ]

Barrage flew out:

"Qi Jiguang is very good at training soldiers, and his "New Book of Jixiao" is particularly useful."

"The main force of Qi's army is Yiwu soldiers."

"Qi Jiguang's ideas are very advanced and he is very good at using firearms."

"..."

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

A flash of admiration flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.

I didn’t expect that there would be such a famous general in the Ming Dynasty in the later generations.

Especially, he was good at using firearms, which made him admire him even more.

……

[Later, Qi Jiguang went to the northern Ji Liao to train troops, and the court specially recruited 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers as a model for the Ji Liao army. ]

[The Zhejiang soldiers were under very strict military orders. One day, they arrived at the foot of the city and set up camp on the spot. Suddenly, it rained heavily, and the Zhejiang soldiers stood upright in the rain, "standing upright from morning to sunset."]

[The military discipline of the northern soldiers was neglected, and they were all shocked to see the Zhejiang soldiers like this. ]

[It can be seen that although the people of Zhejiang are tough, their strong fighting power is mostly due to strict discipline. 】

The barrage flew out:

"However, such a Qi family army finally died in the hands of its own people because of asking for salary."

"Wang Bao, that shameless man, tricked the Qi family army into the martial arts arena with bare hands and slaughtered them under the pretext of paying salaries."

"Reply——We can’t just blame Wang Bao, the Ming court also agreed. ”

“…”

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di snorted coldly, and a surge of anger surged in his heart.

He had actually heard about this matter in the previous video.

But when he heard it again at this time, he still felt extremely angry.

How could the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in later generations be so stupid?

It was extremely stupid to lure and kill his own army to demand military pay.

And after this incident, who would work for the court in the future?

…

[As a province with a large population, the combat effectiveness of Sichuan people in the Ming Dynasty should not be underestimated.]

[The army of the Sichuan Shiqu Tusi, known as "White-pole Soldiers" became famous for their extremely strong fighting power. 】

[The legendary general and heroine of the "White-pole Soldiers", Qin Liangyu, led her troops to participate in the wars of suppressing the Bozhou rebellion, fighting against the Later Jin in Liaodong, and suppressing the rebel army. 】

[The "White-pole Soldiers" fought against Zhang Xianzhong's troops in the Central Plains and retreated to Shiqu because of their outnumbered. 】

[Even so, after Zhang Xianzhong's troops entered Sichuan, the chieftains of various tribes dared to harass them, but they were afraid of Qin Liangyu's reputation as "White-pole Soldiers" and did not dare to enter the country to invade. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Qin Liangyu is really powerful. She is the only female general who has been included in the official history of generals and ministers!"

"In the ancient times when men were respected, Qin Liangyu was able to be listed in the biographies of famous generals of all dynasties as a woman. It's too powerful!"

"She experienced four generations of emperors in the Ming Dynasty in her life, which is also legendary enough. ”

“…”

Looking at the giant screen in the sky, many ancient people from all dynasties were extremely shocked.

“As a woman, she was listed in the official history with famous generals from all dynasties”, which was unimaginable in the ancient Chinese where men were superior to women.

Otherwise, in thousands of years of history, Qin Liangyu would not be the only one to achieve this achievement.

“Awesome! Really amazing!”

In many dynasties, many ancient people exclaimed in their hearts.

The plane of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang praised:

“Women are really as good as men! ”

……

[During the Taiping Rebellion in the late Qing Dynasty, Guangxi people rose suddenly, and with the soldiers of the province, they conquered famous cities and defeated the army repeatedly.]

[The Guangxi people are good at fighting, which shows that they can fight.]

[Afterwards, the Xiang Army, Chu Army, and Huai Army of Zeng, Zuo, and Li rose one after another, and Senggelinqin's Mongolian cavalry appeared in the north.]

[However, the era of cold weapons has passed, and the militia army formed by traditional concepts The army, either quickly corrupted and became useless like the Hunan Army, or was eliminated by the hot weapon era like the Mongolian Army. 】

[Even the Huai Army, which gradually transformed into a modern army during the Westernization Movement, could not reverse its fate of decline. 】

… (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

The crushing of the hot weapon era over the cold weapon era is a comprehensive=|

Therefore, the future of the Tang Dynasty must take the road of hot weapons.

……[]

On the sky screen.

The video is refreshed.

A new video appears.

[Three minutes to take you to understand the three most important theories of "The Wealth of Nations". ]

……

When seeing this line of big words appear on the sky screen, many emperors of all dynasties were shocked:

"The Wealth of Nations?"

"Is it about how to make the country rich?"

As the name suggests, many emperors soon had such a guess in their hearts.

Then.

Their breathing became a little hurried, and their eyes staring at the sky screen became a little hot.

They are looking forward to such a method!

……

[In the vast history, there are always some works that illuminate the way forward for mankind with their profound insight and outstanding wisdom. 】

【Among them, Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" is undoubtedly a shining pearl. It reveals the secrets of the economic world to us with its unique perspective and profound analysis. 】

【When we stand on the threshold of the 21st century and look back at the great ideas that have influenced the world, we can't help but wonder: What force has driven the progress of human society? Is it technological innovation or political revolution? 】

【Perhaps, all these factors have played an important role. 】

【But the views put forward by Adam Smith in "The Wealth of Nations" provide us with a new perspective - the power of economy. 】

【So what is the economy? How does it promote the progress of the country and society? 】

【The key to answering these questions is Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations". 】

……

See here.

Many emperors of all dynasties were refreshed, and their eyes looking at the giant screen in the sky became more focused.

They felt that their guess was confirmed.

This is indeed a way to make the country rich.

Then for these emperors, "The Wealth of Nations" is simply a treasure!

It can even be said that they value it more than the various treasures in their treasure house.

They must not miss the following video content!

...

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di said to Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji in a deep voice:

"Focus and listen carefully to the following content!"

After watching many previous videos, he knew very well that the national economic problem was the most critical issue for the development of a country.

If the economy develops well, the country will naturally become rich and strong.

If the economy has problems, the country will also have big problems.

Therefore, this video about "The Wealth of Nations" is of great value and importance in Zhu Di's eyes, and it must be listened to carefully by the head of a country.

And Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji will both be the future Ming Dynastylord, so he would tell them so.

"Understood."

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji replied solemnly.

In fact, the two of them also knew the value of the following video content.

……

[Today, I want to talk to you about this "The Wealth of Nations". ]

[Of course, "The Wealth of Nations" is a magnificent work that reveals the mysteries of the economic world. In addition to the "Introduction and the Design of the Whole Book", it is divided into two volumes, five parts and thirty-two chapters. ]

[With so much content, it is naturally not possible to cover it all in a short video. ]

[So this time, I will talk about the three most important theories of "The Wealth of Nations". ]

[It is because of the creation of these three theories that Adam Smith and "The Wealth of Nations" have become a foundational work in economics. 】

……

“Only a part?”

Many emperors of all dynasties felt regretful when they heard that they could not tell the whole content of The Wealth of Nations.

But soon, they put aside this regret and focused on the giant screen in the sky.

It is also good to understand the most important content.

……

[I. The first important theory: the three basic elements of economic research, labor, land and capital. ]

[In The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith said that when an enterprise organization or an economy starts to operate, what is the most basic element? ]

[There are three things. ]

[First: labor. ]

[The production of all commodities is related to human labor. ]

[The essence of value is labor. ]

[Why do things that can be bought with money have value? ]

[Adam Smith believed that this is because human labor is condensed in these things. 】

[In essence, the value of a commodity should be measured by the labor condensed in it. 】

[And since the real value is labor, the wealth of a country should naturally be measured by the output of labor. 】

……

Many ancient people from all dynasties were shocked.

Although these ancient people worked every day, they had never thought about the issue of labor from this perspective.

Next.

Some educated and cultured ancient people thought deeply and vaguely understood the meaning.

After all, this passage is not very complicated.

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin's brain was working at a high speed, and his eyes were full of thought.

"If a country's wealth should naturally be measured by its labor output, then doesn't that mean that if a country wants to be rich and strong, the most important thing is to increase the labor output of the entire country?"

"No wonder the British Empire became so powerful after the Industrial Revolution. It turned out that the Industrial Revolution increased the labor output of the British Empire."

Li Shimin kept thinking.

He felt that he had finally understood the fundamentals of the world.Understand the significance of the Industrial Revolution to a country.

……

[Second: Land. ]

[Adam Smith believes that land is a 2.0 fixed value-added in economic behavior. ]

[The high and low value of land has a significant relationship with the economic behavior carried on this land, and they form an interactive relationship. ]

……

"? What does this mean?"

Many ancient people in the past dynasties were a little confused.

The plane of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand it very well, so he asked his good son Zhu Biao as usual.

"Dad, I think it may be that the value of land is related to what it is used for. For example, for the same piece of land, opening a handicraft workshop is definitely not as high as opening a machine production factory."

Zhu Biao explained it again according to his own understanding.

"Is that so?"

Zhu Yuanzhang himself began to think about it.

……

[Third: Capital. ]

[Before Adam Smith, mainstream society generally had a very contemptuous attitude towards capital or people who use capital. ]

[For example, in China, everyone knows that there is a term called "scholars, farmers, merchants and businessmen", which means all those people related to capital operation, we call them businessmen, they are ranked the lowest among all social classes. ]

[What do they call it after making money? They are called rich but unkind. ]

[Then, how can we maintain social fairness? Then we have to kill the rich and help the poor. ]

[You see, without any prefix, everyone thinks that the generation of wealth itself is sinful, or the generation of wealth itself is not something worthy of praise. ]

[This is the same in the West. For example, there is a sentence in the highest doctrine in the West: It is difficult for businessmen and rich people to enter heaven. ]

[How difficult is it? It's as difficult as a camel passing through the hole of a needle. 】

【But when Adam Smith wrote "The Wealth of Nations", he didn't think so. 】

……

Many businessmen from all dynasties were excited when they heard this:

Could it be that Adam Smith was speaking for their group? .
