    When they got rich, not only the Tang Dynasty was thinking about expansion and development, but also other countries, especially the Haiyi countries.  Although they are both small countries, this does not prevent them from learning actively.

    They came to Datang not because they wanted to be Datang¡¯s younger brothers, but because they wanted to go further through Datang.

    However, Wu Meiniang believed that it was not a good thing for sea transportation to surpass land transportation, so she put forward her own discovery.

    "Why do you think it is not a good thing for sea transportation to surpass land transportation?" Yunyao asked, she wanted to hear the reasons for such a judgment.

    "Economically speaking, when shipping is more profitable, everyone will do it, and then the population, assets, and technology will gather towards the east. From a national defense perspective, Haiyi makes money through trade, and through learning and strengthening, to a certain extent  , they will inevitably threaten the coastline of the Tang Dynasty. This is inevitable, because all the small countries that become stronger in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty will become enemies on the border of the Tang Dynasty. Because they are small in size, the money they make from trade alone will become increasingly insufficient to sustain their lives.  , so they had to launch a war to rob from China. In the past, Haiyi did not develop, so naturally they could not rob. Once they develop, many new enemies will appear around us. Finally, from a historical perspective, the more convenient it is  The easier it is to have problems, so sages should take precautions and live in comfort and die in sorrow. When we covet the convenience of sea transportation, disasters will also happen from it." From three perspectives, the first two are objective perspectives, speaking from facts.  reason.  The latter perspective is the perspective of experience and culture. Although there is no evidence, history tells future generations that people will die of worry and happiness.

    It all makes sense. After Haiyi develops, he will indeed use Datang as a target to divert domestic conflicts.  Because they also know that as long as they find the right opportunity, they will make money if they grab it.

    There is no eternal relationship of superiority and inferiority in this world. If there were, there would be no collapse of rituals and music.  Therefore, after the countries in the Western Region develop, they will use war to transfer conflicts, and the same will be true for the countries in the Haiyi.

    Therefore, the more developed maritime transportation is, the faster the development of Haiyi countries will be, which will naturally become a problem by then.

    "But water transportation is cheaper than land transportation. This has been true since ancient times. Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty dug the Grand Canal because land transportation was inconvenient and blocked from north to south." Yunyao said: "Of course what you said makes sense, but have you ever thought about how to reverse it?  ?¡±

    "Since we can build bigger boats, we should also be able to build bigger cars. Maybe we can use the machines on the steamboats on the cars." Wu Meiniang is very smart and thinks that since she can push the oars, she can push the wheels as well.  If the car is big enough, it can transport more goods and coordinate east-west trade.

    But then there is a problem, that is, roads. It is useless to have big cars but no roads.

    "Yes, this is indeed an idea. But the fundamental problem is that no matter whether it is land transportation or water transportation, it is impossible to avoid harassment by small countries. Because small countries are restricted by population, area, etc., they can easily develop to bottlenecks, and when they encounter bottlenecks, they will launch wars.  And according to what Zigong said, if a strong country is attacked by internal troubles and a weak country is attacked by external troubles, the Tang Dynasty can be said to be the best choice for small countries to divert domestic conflicts."

    "Then destroy their country and kill the chickens to scare the monkeys." Wu Meiniang decisively believed that they should be destroyed by force.

    "The problem is that after destroying them, a new force will appear in those places after a while, and then start to cause trouble for us. And we spent a lot of troops, but made a loss-making business. And in the southeast, northwest, you attack the east but  It cannot deter the west, but attacking the west cannot deter the east.¡±

    Then there is no other way, Wu Meiniang thought, can industrial upgrading solve this problem?  No, even building a nuclear bomb will not prevent small countries from shifting conflicts.

    "Your Highness, please make it clear that both land and water transportation will cause problems, so is there any way to achieve long-term peace and stability?" Wu Meiniang asked humbly.

    Yunyao said that 'the movement of the Tao is the opposite'. The Tao is always in motion, so if you want long-term peace and stability, you have to continue to pay the cost, so she said directly: "There is no way to long-term peace and stability. There is no other way except continuous self-improvement."  The purpose of sending you information about the Western Regions and Haiyi is mainly to prove one point, that is, the necessity of national development. By comparing the developed Western Regions with the developing Haiyi, we can illustrate the trend of national development and prove that  It is necessary for us to upgrade the industry in Datang." Unfortunately, not many people listened, because many people were already satisfied with the current situation of Datang. Fortunately, Li Shimin was still willing to upgrade the industry.

    It turns out that this was the purpose, and such a comparison indeed revealed more problems.  The Western Region has developed, and it is very difficult to go further, so they often fight back and forth.  Dongyi has not developed yet and is still developing, so they are more energetic, but when they develop, they will definitely start a war.

    Isn¡¯t it the same principle for the Central Plains?Changes such as Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms' struggle for hegemony will occur, and may even lead to century-old chaos such as the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

    "That's what His Highness said." Comparing things, we can really see the importance of development.  The Western Region has almost been developed, so there are more problems than Haiyi.

    Although Haiyi is small, it is peaceful because it is still developing. As long as it is done well, it will be fine.

    But the war was still going on in the Western Regions. Previously, a Turkic prince from the Western Regions came to hug Li Shimin's lap, hoping that the Tang Dynasty would send troops to help him restore his country.  The Western Region is very chaotic now, because the more it develops, the clearer the national boundaries and the more frequent wars.

    The Haiyi countries are now small in size and have no borders, so there is no contradiction.  As they develop, they will definitely have various conflicts and will definitely have to fight.

    Since development leads to war, then it would be better not to develop.  The problem is that it doesn't work without development, because Datang is here, and doing business with Datang means development. If you don't develop, others will develop. When the time comes, others will become bigger and swallow up the ones that don't develop.

    So the Tang Dynasty is like a machine of diffusion and involution, constantly emitting advanced light, and wherever the light shines, it will inevitably choose to develop.  Because there are many forces in the world, if you don¡¯t develop, and others have developed, you will first attack those who are not developing.  Therefore, all places that are illuminated must develop, and development will eventually bring about involution and competition, which will inevitably promote the development of various regions like a torrent.

    Of course, the Tang Dynasty could not stop, it must also develop, otherwise the small countries that developed would not be polite.  Therefore, the best way to achieve peace is to continue to develop and involute, so that no one is able to start a war, and all resources are used for development, leaving no money for war.

    So Yunyao said: "Of course there is no need to be pessimistic. As long as the Tang Dynasty develops, it will naturally drive the development of small countries. In this way, they will be busy with development and have no time to go to war with us. Development is like a race. Once someone starts running, others will  Even if he doesn¡¯t know why he is running, he will follow him unknowingly. Because if he doesn¡¯t run and others are running, he will fall further and further behind. The Tang Dynasty wants to be a leader and lead all the small countries around it. No one can  Stop, and then they will all start running.¡±

    Wu Meiniang's pearl-like eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help but say: "Wonderful, this is a soldier who can conquer others without fighting. In the same way of running, we in the Tang Dynasty can run farther if we are strong, but small countries cannot run very far if they are weak.  They will fall, and we can bring them down without any extra effort. Industrial upgrading is really a brilliant plan."

    After hearing this, Yunyao said that she did not mean to drag down the small country to death. Unless the small country does not overestimate its ability and exhausts its life to run away, otherwise everyone is making progress, but the degree of progress is different.  This martial artist is really an emperor, he wants to kill others at every turn, and he doesn't understand win-win at all.  But forget it, as long as you have talent, Yun Yao doesn't expect Wu Meiniang to understand the community of human destiny.
