Chapter 65: The words shocked everyone. Everyone looked at Li Yuan curiously.

I wonder if Li Yuan can answer this question.

Daji also looked at her brother, feeling extremely nervous.

She was worried that her brother would not be able to answer, or that the content of his answer would not be convincing to everyone.

Li Yuan faced more than a dozen eyes and calmly replied:

"If you want to make your country strong, you can start from four points. 1. Economy, 2. National Defense, 3. Politics, 4. Diplomacy. As long as you do these four things well, you can create a prosperous dynasty."

Economy, national defense, politics, diplomacy!

Shang Rong recited these eight words silently in his heart, and suddenly exclaimed:

"Well summed up, these eight short words actually contain all aspects of a country. Bigan couldn't help but admire:

"In just eight words, all the affairs of the country can be summed up. This little friend is truly a genius."

Shang Rong and Bigan are prime ministers, and they have to handle all matters of the Shang Dynasty, so they understand the meaning of these eight words better.

Ji Chang, Su Hu, Jiang Hengchu, Chonghou Hu and several other princes, in After listening to Li Yuan's"Four Points to Strengthen a Country", their eyes also shone.

They are princes who command the military and people's livelihood of one side, so they have a deep understanding of governing the country.

They found that after listening to Li Yuan's eight After reading the words, their understanding of the country became clearer

"It turns out that the country can be divided into four parts: economy, national defense, politics, and diplomacy. Why didn’t I think of that?"Jiang Hengchu was so excited that he almost pulled out his beard.

Today is a vassal state, and everyone's concept of the country is not as mature as that of later generations. That's why he was so excited after hearing Li Yuan's mature political concepts.

Ji Chang said excitedly Li Yuan asked:

"Excuse me sir, I don’t know what to do in order to do well in the four areas of economy, national defense, politics and diplomacy."

Li Yuan talked eloquently:

"If you want to do a good job in the economy, you must first enrich the people. If the people are prosperous, the country will be strong."

"National defense is the army. The strength of an army is determined by its people, horses, armor, and equipment."

"Politics is about employing people. If you know how to use people well, you can maintain the stability of the country and keep the monarch and his ministers united."

"You only need to remember eight words for diplomacy: make friends both vertically and horizontally, make friends at a distance and attack at close range."

The people are prosperous and the country is strong, they know people and make good use of them, they control people vertically and horizontally, and they make friends from far away and attack close by. Although these things Li Yuan said are familiar to the children of later generations, when Ji Chang, Shang Rong and others heard them, they only felt that they were deafening and exciting. Just like devout believers, they were as excited as they finally heard the truth of the great road.

These simple words actually outlined in their hearts a grand scene of a prosperous dynasty and all nations coming to congratulate them.

At this point, everyone in the room, Including Chonghou Hu and Su Hu, they were all impressed by Li Yuan's talent.

"You sir are so talented, one person is enough to stabilize the country!"Ji Chang looked at Li Yuan, his eyes shining.

He had decided in his heart that no matter what, he would invite Li Yuan to Xiqi to help him manage the country (the princes are also the country)

"If the husband comes out of the mountain, he will definitely be able to create a prosperous dynasty. Jiang Hengchu praised.

He also followed Ji Chang in calling Li Yuan sir.

Chonghou Hu said loudly:

"I have never convinced anyone in my life, but I am completely convinced by your husband’s talent."

"Every word of your words is a good way to govern the country!"Su Hu was still savoring what Li Yuan said.

Daji was surprised and funny when she saw that her father actually called her brother, sir.

Although Shang Rong, Bigan and others were also excited, fortunately they were impressed by Li Yuan's talent He had been mentally prepared for a long time, so he could still control his emotions.

Shang Rong suddenly asked Li Yuan:

"Little friend Li Yuan, which of the four points you mentioned is the most important to you? Li

Yuan replied without hesitation:

"Of course it's the economy."

Shang Rong, Bigan, Ji Chang and others all showed surprised expressions when they heard this.

Obviously they did not expect that Li Yuan would say that the economy is the most important.

Although no one thinks that the economy is not important, compared with national defense and politics, In terms of diplomacy, everyone feels that the economy is actually not that important.

After all, today’s society is still a farming civilization. Except for salt, which is a necessity, everything else is basically self-sufficient.

"How could it be the economy? Jiang Hengchu objected,"I think national defense should be the most important. As long as we control the army, everything else will not be a problem.""

Shang Rong holds a different view:

"I think politics is the most important. Only by managing officials, big and small, and wealthy families well can this country be stable and prosperous. Huang

Feihu said:

"Diplomacy is also very important. If the 72 princes in the north are not dealt with this time, it will endanger the country and the country."

"Sir, why do you say the economy is the most important? Ji Chang asked Li Yuan in confusion.

Everyone looked at Li Yuan curiously, waiting for his explanation.

Li Yuan:

"Because the economic base determines the superstructure."

Everyone was confused.

What Li Yuan said was too advanced, and they couldn't understand it at all.

After all, the theory of economic base and superstructure was a view created by Lao Ma and Enns.

Li Yuan used plain and easy to understand language. explained:

"Economy is the foundation. Do you understand what this means, right?"

Everyone nodded.

Li Yuan:"The superstructure is national defense, politics, and diplomacy."

Everyone nodded again

"National defense construction requires money, official salaries require money, and diplomacy, when it comes to resisting aggression, requires money. Things like national defense, politics, and diplomacy are actually made of money. That’s why I say that the economy is the most important, because without a foundation, you can’t build a tall building."

Everyone nodded in sudden realization.

"Moreover,"

Li Yuan continued:

"The importance of the economy goes beyond this. If a country's economy is good, the people will have enough to eat and will not starve to death. As long as the people can survive, of course they will not rebel."

"At the same time, when the economy is good, the country's tax revenue will be more. If the country's tax revenue is high, it will be able to provide disaster relief, build water conservancy projects, maintain the army, and gather refugees during times of famine. Do you think the economy is important now?"

"important!"Everyone replied in unison.

Daji looked at this scene and felt it was extremely strange. It was exactly the same as the scene when her private school teacher taught students at home.

Everyone felt astonished after hearing Li Yuan's explanation that the economic base determines the superstructure. Just like the initiation, the doubts in their hearts suddenly became clear, and they all understood the importance of the economy.

However, although they understood the importance of the economy, they also had more questions in their hearts.

"How should this economy develop?"

"Yes, one acre of land can only produce one or two dan of food. Even if we understand that the economy is important, we still cannot develop it."

"Please sir, give us some pointers"
