Lu Ning is a time traveler. The knowledge in his mind has accumulated over two thousand years of accumulation. If many ideas in later generations are to be accepted by the ancients at once, it is a fool. After more than ten years of influence, Lu Ning changed the civil and military officials around him, but it still doesn't work on some issues. Especially those great scholars are even more stubborn and difficult to change.

If Lu Ning eliminates other princes at once, who will govern the place? Although there are a large number of students graduating every year under the Lu Ning system, there are too many places to serve and cannot be satisfied at all. If those great scholars and scholars are used, can a series of policies be implemented? The answer is no.

Lu Ning could only manage the areas under control first, then cultivate more talents, and manage the areas under conquered. This seemed to be very slow, but it was actually faster. If too many places were built at once and no one could manage them, he could only use scholars and scholars who had deep-rooted traditional concepts; then there would be troubles or even riots at any time, which would be even more difficult.

Zhou Yu knew in his heart that he had been in the jurisdiction of Lu Ning for more than a year, but he still couldn't keep up with and could not understand many concepts; if it was someone else, it would be even more difficult to understand.

Zhou Yu said: "Ziyi, then when are you going to attack other princes?"

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Gongjin, it should be soon. After years of training, he has a certain talent reserve. Many newly graduated students have basically become talents after several years of training. These people should be able to manage the place well."

Zhou Yu said: "Ziyi, do you think those people will be loyal to you?"

Lu Ning said: "Gongjin, I don't need anyone to be loyal to me, just be loyal to the people. I told you a few days ago that I don't want to be a bullshit emperor, I just want to rejuvenate the Han nationality and make the Han nationality stronger. As for who will govern the world and who will govern the place, it must be chosen by the people; the military cannot interfere in internal affairs, but only responsible for the safety of the country, but only responsible for external conquests."

Zhou Yu said: "What if someone betrays you?"

Lu Ning shrugged his arms and smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as the betrayer can resist my powerful revenge, otherwise the betrayer's fate will be very miserable; this is not betraying me, but betraying the people in the jurisdiction and betraying the Han people."

Zhou Yu was completely speechless. What is this concept? It is completely contrary to traditional Confucianism, but it sounds like it is in line with reality.

Zhou Yu glanced at Lu Ning and said, "Ziyi, tell me? Conquering the grasslands in the northern or western grasslands is nothing to say and understand the security of the Han border. After all, this is your lifelong wish; can you send troops overseas, is it necessary?"

After hearing this, Lu Ning was helpless, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Gongjin, our Han people not only need to have a defense depth on land, but also in the ocean. If we only guard the Tazi Iron Cavalry on the grassland and ignore the invaders from the sea, we will suffer sooner or later. At that time, our Han people will really suffer."

Zhou Yu said: "Ziyi, do you mean there will be invaders from the sea?"

Lu Ning smiled wryly and said, "Gongjin, the world outside is still big? In the past hundred years, have Japanese invaded frequently in Qingzhou? You should know about this?"

Zhou Yu said: "I have heard of this. Gu said that the Japanese pirates on Zidao (Jiuzhou Island) that Xu Fu went to, are not large in size, they are just small bandits."

Lu Ning shook his mind and said, "Gongjin, this time I will take you to see what the Japanese pirates look like? How big is their territory? Do you really think the Japanese pirates occupy a small place? If it is small, Zijing, does Xingba's tens of thousands of troops need to be conquered for several years?"

Zhou Yu said: "It's just a small place."

Lu Ning smiled wryly and said, "Gongjin, you are really a frog in the well. Although the Japanese pirates occupy a small area, their actual area is several times larger than that of Jiangdong. But there are many lands outside, which are so large. Do you really think that the Han in the world has the largest territory? Tell you, the Han area is pitifully small, and it is less than half a percent of the earth's area."

Zhou Yu said: "I heard that you have been to the country of Rees thousands of miles away. Didn't you hear that it would be a desert?"

Lu Ning was really speechless. How can I explain this clearly?

Lu Ning said patiently: "Gongjin, there are many lands outside the sea. You should believe that our Han Dynasty is really too small compared to the Roman Empire. Whether it is economic strength or the combat effectiveness of soldiers, it cannot be compared with the Roman Empire. Have you heard of Anxu? It is also a very powerful country. I know why it develops so fast in my jurisdiction, and its weapons and equipment are changing dramatically every day. Do you know why?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know? Didn't you get a good craftsman, Ma Jun?"

Lu Ning said: "Gongjin, do you really think that Ma Jun alone can make our city and weapons and equipment progress so much? How is this possible? Ma Jun alone can produce so much! This is a collective contribution. I bought a large number of craftsmen from Rome, Anxi and other countries, as well as various technical books. I also attracted all the excellent craftsmen of the Han Dynasty to their jurisdiction with high salaries. You Confucians look down on craftsmen, but I tell you that if the Han people did not have excellent craftsmen, they would never be able to develop and progress. Not to mention national rejuvenation and prosperity of the country, that is nonsense."

Zhou Yu said: "You attach importance to craftsmen and improve the status and treatment of craftsmen. I know that although I don't understand, I think the development in your jurisdiction is indeed inseparable from craftsmen. I still agree with this recently; but do craftsmen really have such a great role? Is it really related to the rejuvenation of the nation?"

Lu Ning said: "Gongjin, do you know why the agricultural tax can be abolished in my jurisdiction, and the next step is to supplement the farming industry? Do you know the reason? The expenses in my jurisdiction are very large, and this is also clear, but do you know where these taxes come from?"

Zhou Yu said: "I heard it is industrial and commercial tax?"

Lu Ning said: "If there were no excellent craftsmen, how could they produce such excellent products? Why do everyone in the world like the things produced in my jurisdiction? Don't they all think that the workmanship is exquisite and the price is low? Can we produce the large warships we are now riding on without excellent craftsmen? Others think that my jurisdiction is too rich and they are jealous, but who knows how much effort we have made and how much hard work we have put in?"

Zhou Yu said: "Ziyi, everyone agrees with the achievements you have achieved, but you are too killing, so you should restrain yourself? This is good for you."

Lu Ning also knew it was Zhou Yu's kindness, but how could Lu Ning accept such suggestions!

Lu Ning said: "Gongjin, I don't care what others think. As long as I am there, this chariot will continue to conquer! Conquer! Conquer again! But you should communicate more with Guo Jia, Tian Chou, Guan Ning and others. This is good for you. As for my old father-in-law, Mr. Cai, I don't need it. It's too pedantic and stubborn. "
