Chapter 058 Resources
Zhao Bing, who comes from modern times, clearly knows that the existence of the world is a history of evolution. All living things have faced natural selection and survival of the fittest since their birth, which is full of mutual competition and sharp opposition.
?b i q u?g?e?.
?c?nThe initial driving force of all this is to maintain its own survival and seek further development. From humans, to nature, to the entire earth, the root of the conflict with each other is the competition for resources.
What are resources? This is a very broad concept. It can be sunlight, water, soil, living space, animals and plants, food and drink, high-rise buildings and famous cars, or material materials.
Power, money, and fame can be life and death. And because resources are scarce, there is always a huge gap between limited resources and unlimited possession, so human competition is endless and cruel.
In total, Zhao Bing only stayed in the court for more than a month, and only participated in one court meeting. However, this did not hinder his understanding of the overall situation. Of course, some of it was brought from his previous life, but what he saw with his own eyes now was far worse than before.
The records in history books are even worse. The strong sense of crisis made Zhao Bing work hard to strengthen himself in order to save his life, instead of seeking greater power. But the reality is cruel, and the development of the situation is very difficult.
His original intention soon changed, and he realized that to protect himself, he had to protect his team, which also made him involuntarily involved in the struggle for power and resources.
Generally speaking, human competition also follows the jungle law of the jungle. The higher you are at the top, the stronger your power is; the lower you are at the bottom, the weaker your power is. And a very strange law will be formed - the strong.
Constantly strong, the weak get weaker. This is because in the overall structure of the power tower, the higher up, the more optimistic its development is because of its strong strength and abundant resources; the lower it is, the less resources and strength it has.
The weaker it is, the more it is at the mercy of others, the greater the resistance it will encounter in its development.
Therefore, with power, you have everything; without power, everything will be lost.?
?b?i? Therefore, striving for the upper reaches, striving to build strong strength, and ensuring one's own existence are the principles that must be followed in the construction of a power tower. At this time, Zhao Bing was an official of the first rank, and he was also appointed as Jiedushi, Waizongzheng, and Zhizong.
Zhishi, the title of deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, is supposed to be at the top of the power hierarchy, but he understands that all this is false.
In terms of finance, the palace has no income except his own salary. At this time, all expenses come from the spoils of that sea encounter. The less you use, the less it will be consumed soon without replenishment; in terms of human rights, Zhao
Bing's orders did not leave the palace, and no one would listen to him. In public opinion, he was somewhat praised, but only among the people. His reputation in the court was at two extremes, with some praise and some criticism.
And Zhao Bing knew that even if he had a good reputation among the people, it would be difficult for him to change his predicament of lack of political assets at this moment. Needless to say, the emperor and the queen mother were a family. As long as he did not betray the Mongols, even if they were exposed
Heaven will also give him protection. Yu Guogong is also a real relative, and after his observation, he found that he has no ambitions. Of course, his abilities are limited, but he really cares about himself, even risking his life. He is a person you can rest assured.
.
The only person he knew well among the court officials was Liu Fu. At first, he had always suspected that he was "ungrateful" and had abandoned him. However, his small caring gestures at the court meeting that day made Zhao Bing understand that his unwillingness to get close to him was because he was worried about everyone.
However, this also shows that Liu Fu is cautious and cherishes his reputation. He is by no means an ungrateful person. Although he is usually distant, he will definitely give him a hand at critical moments.
There is no doubt that Jiang Wanzai is a loyal minister, but he has been in the DPRK for a long time and has experienced the ups and downs in the DPRK. He must be more cautious in doing things and have a lot of worries. In order to balance the various factions in the DPRK, he will inevitably look forward and backward when doing things.?
And Zhao Bing believed that the two had a long conversation for half a day, and it can be seen from the news back to the DPRK that he must be a little touched. He must also hope that there will be successors to the royal family, revive the Song Dynasty, and restore the country's prestige. Zhao Bing believes that as long as his plan can impress
He will definitely gain his support.
As for Lu Xiufu, Zhao Bing only met him once and never exchanged a few words with him. There was no opinion at all, and his attitude towards him was unknown. Maybe in his eyes, he was just a child who was not familiar with the world.
. And Chen Yizhong has always been cold towards Prince Wei's house because of the humiliation. He thinks he still has hatred in his heart, but he looks at him coldly with the attitude of watching the fun and does not interfere too much. If something happens, he will not add insult to injury, Zhao
Bing will burn high incense.
Zhao Bing just cheated Zhang Shijie two days ago. He knew that he should not do such things that were detrimental to unity during a national crisis, and he also admitted that he did something a little too grandiose, but it was also because of his arrogant attitude, bullying the weak, and not giving him any advice.
Just take a look and you won’t know that Prince Wei’s Mansion is not easy to mess with. Besides, he doesn’t have any money in his pocket, and Zhang Shijie’s army has dozens of ships of property alone, and there is no shortage of ordnance. God will not cheat him.
If you don't see justice, this is just robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
Calculating his political assets as he walked, Zhao Bing felt that he was not optimistic, but it was not all out. People at the top had greater strengths to draw on, so they were more likely to successfully implement deterrence and control; and people at the bottom were more likely to successfully implement deterrence and control.
, it is not impossible to use a weak force to deter the powerful. As long as you correctly identify your own resources and flexibly use these power resources to carry out deterrence operations according to the goals, you can also succeed.
Zhao Bing has another natural advantage, that is, he is a child. If he does well, he is a gifted person; if he does badly, he is just a child fooling around, and God should forgive him. For example, when he cheated Zhang Shijie this time, he thought
His lack of revenge is definitely not because of lack of ability or great kindness, but because he felt that a child had been fooled and it would be embarrassing to tell the truth. It would be a shame to retaliate against a child in a large scale. But from this point of view, he is better than Chen Yizhong.
His character is stronger, but I just can’t figure out why Ying Jieyan, who has already retired from office, wants to wade through troubled waters, if...
"Son, why are we so miserable..." Zhao Bing had just entered the inner palace, and before he could salute and say hello, Empress Dowager Yang left her seat and rushed forward, hugging him in her arms and crying loudly, and couldn't help mumbling.
God is unfair. He scolds the Tatars for their brutality and refuses to give their orphans and widowers a place to stand.
"Mother..." Zhao Bing was caught off guard and didn't know what to say for a moment. But after thinking about it, he decided not to persuade her. He might as well let her cry, because this woman was under too much pressure. Not only did she have to raise
The young emperor, in order to continue the bloodline of the Zhao family and the Song Dynasty, also had to take charge of the court and handle national affairs under such difficult circumstances. But all this was under the pressure of a man who had never been in politics and had seen gunfire and blood.
, for a helpless and weak woman, as long as she is born early when she is around thirty years old, it is good that she has not gone crazy. It is good to let it go now. Isn't it said that tears are the best placebo for women?
"Mother, don't cry anymore, and take care of yourself. Your children and the court must rely on your mother!" After a while, Empress Dowager Yang's crying gradually became weaker. Zhao Bing estimated that she had almost finished her ejaculation, and raised his hand to wipe the Empress Dowager's face.
Tears on her face comforted her softly.
"My mother is useless. I can't give you a safe place or protect you, so you have been wronged." Queen Mother Yang burst into tears again as she listened.
"My mother is a guilty son. I wish I could expel the Tatars, eradicate the traitors, and take back our great lands. I will leave my mother to worry and work hard while my brother wanders around." Zhao Bing broke away from the embrace and took a step back, knelt down and said with tears streaming down his face.
"Sixth brother, get up quickly. Isn't it your fault that you are still young? It's all because of the queen mother's uselessness. Please remember to be careful what you say in the court in the future." After hearing this, Empress Dowager Yang burst into tears again, but she couldn't hold him back.
, hugged Zhao Bing again and started crying.
"Queen Mother, Your Highness, don't be sad. We in the Song Dynasty still need hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and generals. One day we will be able to help the country." Dou Xing saw his mother-in-law crying so hard that he couldn't help but shed tears, but he still stepped forward to comfort her.
Helped the Queen Mother to stand up.
"Mother, has something happened?" Zhao Bing was confused and expressed his loyalty, but the Queen Mother taught him to be careful with his words.
"Well, His Highness recently called for volunteer training and spoke at the court meeting. Several courtiers said that His Highness has the ambition to save the country and has the talent to govern the country. Therefore, he wrote a memorial asking the Queen Mother to follow Emperor Gaozong's example and allow His Highness to open a palace.
Training troops and leaving the town. The Queen Mother was worried that those courtiers had ulterior motives, so she hurriedly summoned Her Highness to come in case something unexpected happened." Dou Xing sighed and said.
"Oh, I wonder which lord asked you to play?" Zhao Bing was shocked when he heard this. He had never mentioned his plan to run away, and everything was planned. How could someone see through his mind and come to the table first?
.What the Queen Mother is worried about is that someone will kill her first and abandon her later, so she wants to keep her by her side, but there are not many people who can scare the Queen Mother.
"Your Highness, it was several people from Shangshu Province who jointly reported the matter." Dou Xing replied vaguely.
"Thank you, Senior Official, for your advice. I understand." However, Zhao Bing understood in his heart that the rank of a fifth- or sixth-grade official at the department level would not be of concern to the Empress Dowager. The one who was afraid must be their behind-the-scenes instigators.
Man, wouldn't it be just right if you should just go with the flow?
"These people are really confused. How can Sixth Brother open a government office to govern the place at such a young age? He clearly has other agendas." Empress Dowager Yang gradually calmed down and pulled Zhao Bing to lovingly wipe the tears on his face.
