Chapter 481: The Righteous And Evil Ways To Break Through The Extreme Wall Restrictions Of The Empir
"In addition to promoting the rapid economic development of various regions in the Ming Dynasty and balancing the excess material resources in various regions, building concrete cement roads also has the most important role and benefit!!!"
Having said this, Yan Changqing paused with the chalk in his hand on the blackboard.
Zhu Yuanzhang below, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, were so shocked that their eyes widened, and they couldn't help saying:
"What are the benefits?!!"
"Or is it the most important function and benefit?!!"
"Is it more important than tens of millions of dollars in fiscal revenue a year?!!"
"Even more important than promoting the rapid economic development of various regions in the Ming Dynasty and balancing the excess material resources in various regions?!!"
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Gang, Zhu Di and other princes no longer knew what they should say to express their shock.
Originally, they thought that being able to bring tens of millions of highway tolls to the court a year would be the biggest benefit of building concrete roads.
Even just for the tens of millions of highway tolls a year, Taiming tightened his belt and vigorously built concrete "Eighteen Masters" | cement roads all over the world!!!
However, Yan Changqing told them that the tens of millions in highway tolls a year was just the least important benefit of building concrete roads.
More important than tens of millions of highway tolls a year, building concrete roads can promote the rapid economic development of various regions in the Ming Dynasty, thereby balancing the excess material resources in various regions, and ultimately creating more valuable wealth.
This point, they also felt very reasonable after listening to it.
From a national macro level, promoting the rapid economic development of various regions in the Ming Dynasty and balancing the excess material resources in various regions are indeed more important than tens of millions in fiscal revenue a year!
It can be said that for this benefit alone, not to mention tightening the belt of Ming Dynasty, even if Ming Dynasty is trying to sell iron, Ming Dynasty must vigorously build concrete roads all over the world!!!
However, just after they thought that this was the most important benefit of building concrete cement roads.
Yan Changqing told them calmly, no, building concrete roads has a more important role and benefit!!!
On the podium, Yan Changqing leaned sideways and wrote the four characters "Empire Extreme Wall" on the blackboard. He turned his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes and said calmly:
“Rather than promoting the rapid economic development of various regions in Ming Dynasty and balancing the excess material resources in various regions, the most important role and benefit of building concrete cement roads is
Break the limitations of the current extreme wall of the empire!!!"
Looking at the four characters "Empire Extreme Wall" written by Yan Changqing on the blackboard, Zhu Yuanzhang and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Fang, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes had vague guesses in their hearts, but they were not sure.
"The so-called extreme wall of an empire refers to the extreme range that an empire can rule!!!"
"This extreme range is the place that the imperial army can reach in about a hundred days from the time it is summoned to the time it sets off."
"Within this scope, the empire can exercise direct rule. Even if there is a rebellion, the empire can quickly suppress it!!!"
"If the empire's army cannot arrive in more than a hundred days, then it will basically reach the end of the empire that the empire can touch."
"At that time, even if it continues to expand the scope of its rule, the empire will lose its direct ability to rule. "At most, it can only rely on the so-called prestige to conquer the small barbarian countries that are beyond the limits of the empire."
"Once the so-called intimidation fails to convince the other party, then after the empire withdraws its troops, the other party will rebel again!!!"
Yan Changqing said calmly.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, also fully understood what Yan Changqing meant by "The Extreme Wall of the Empire"
King Zhu Su of Qi suddenly raised his hand and asked:
"Mr. Yan, is there an empire that breaks through the extreme limits of the empire?!!"
Yan Changqing's eyes fell on Qi Wang Zhu Zun, he nodded and affirmed:
"Yes, for example, the Han Empire at its peak in the past was an empire that broke the limits of the empire!!!"
"For example, the military commander Wuji of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty in the past only commanded a total of about 3,000 troops."
"However, just these three thousand troops are enough to suppress and control hundreds of millions of hectares of territory in the Western Region!!!
"And this is a manifestation of breaking the extreme restrictions of the empire!!!"
"Not only the Han Empire, but also the Tang Empire and the Yuan Empire at their peak were also empires that broke the limits of the empire!!!"
"For the Han Empire, the Tang Empire, and the Yuan Empire at their peak, it took a hundred days for their armies to arrive at the place of rebellion, from the time they were summoned to the time they set off."
"It took two hundred days to reach the land of rebellion, and even a year later to reach the land of rebellion."
"Essentially, there's not much difference."
"Because when they arrive at the place of rebellion, it means the end of the rebellion!"
"No rebellious people or rebellious countries can withstand or resist their suppression!!"
"Their power is enough to make all the surrounding barbarian countries feel desperate for them!!!"
"As long as the surrounding small barbarian countries dare to rebel once, they will have the absolute strength to crush them and blow them up!!!"
"When you are crushed and exploded more times, the surrounding small barbarian countries will naturally no longer dare to rebel again!!!"
"Why can a big man like this break the limits of the empire's extreme walls?!"
"To put it bluntly, it was because the Han Dynasty defeated the Loulan Kingdom, Dayuan Kingdom, and Yucheng Kingdom, destroyed Dian Kingdom, Laojin Kingdom, Mimo Kingdom, Yelang Kingdom, and slaughtered a series of Western Region countries such as Luntai Kingdom."
"After the countries in the Western Regions finally realized that the Han Empire was a completely different and terrifying existence from them, they chose to lie down completely and gave up their rebellion and struggle!!!"
"For the same reason, the Tang Dynasty was able to break the restrictions of the extreme wall of the empire."
"It's also because the Tang Dynasty destroyed Tuyuhun, Eastern Turks, Gaochang, Xueyantuo, Zhongtianzhu, Qiuci, Western Turks, Khitan, Baekje, Tiele and dozens of other countries."
"In the end, other small barbarian countries around the Tang Dynasty realized that the Tang Empire and them were two completely different existences, and then they also chose to lie down completely [giving up their rebellion and struggle...
"The same was true for the Mongol and Yuan Empire in the past."
"During the rise of the Mongolian and Yuan Empire, in addition to the destruction of the Western Xia, Southern Song, Jin, and Western Liao kingdoms, there were also dozens of famous or unknown small barbarian states that were destroyed."
"The final destruction of these small barbarian countries also made other remaining small barbarian countries around the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty realize the irresistibility of the Mongolian Yuan Empire, and finally chose to completely lie down and give up their rebellion and struggle."
After listening to Yan Changqing's example, the King of Yan, Zhu Di, looked thoughtful and said:
"In other words, if you want to break the limits of the empire, you only need to destroy a few barbarian countries?!!"
Yan Changqing on the podium couldn't help but be stunned when he heard what King Yan Zhu Di said.
What he wanted to express was that when an empire was strong enough to crush and destroy all the surrounding barbarian countries, then it would be able to break the limits of the empire's extreme wall.
What Zhu Di, King of Yan, understood was that when an empire destroyed dozens of small barbarian states, it would be able to break through the limitations of the empire's extreme wall.
In terms of causality, King Zhu Di of Yan reversed the causality between the two.
But in terms of results, there is not much difference between the two.
After all, if it can destroy dozens of small barbarian countries, it is enough to prove that this empire is powerful enough to crush and destroy all the small barbarian countries around it. Then it will naturally break the limit of the empire's extreme wall.
So Yan Changqing nodded and said:
"That's understandable."
Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, all had expressions on their faces that said, "I understand."
At the same time, each of them also remembered that by destroying dozens of small barbarian countries, they would be able to break the restrictions of the extreme wall of the empire.
Yan Changqing on the podium just glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, and he knew what they were thinking, and said angrily:
"Don't always think about breaking the restrictions of the empire's extreme wall in this way. This will only break the restrictions of the empire's extreme wall temporarily."
"When the empire passes its peak period, it will be restricted again by the extreme wall of the empire."
"Just like the Han Empire that broke through the extreme limits of the empire and controlled the Western Regions in the past, due to its own internal chaos and decline, it finally had to essentially give up hundreds of millions of hectares of territory in the Western Regions."
"I want to break the restrictions of the empire's extreme wall for a long time and truly expand the empire's extreme rule."
"The best way is to build roads and build highways like concrete roads!!!"
"After the concrete road is repaired, Ming's marching speed can be at least doubled, and Ming's ultimate rule can be at least doubled again!!!"
"This is the true way to break the limits of the empire!!!"
