Chapter 15 People will always change

Generally speaking, a country's major strategy is only generated after a game process.

Destruction is a method commonly used by the Lantian Imperial Court, and it is also the most skillful method.

Therefore, they generally have a new judgment on the enemy's views and values.

We will not rush to eliminate them all just because the slaves have caused irreparable harm to the people of Ming Dynasty.

Enemies are valuable, too.

Sometimes, enemies are even more valuable than allies, so treat them well.

Nowadays, the Lantian Imperial Court's method of killing pigs has basically reached the highest level of the cook's method of killing cattle. They already have a complete set of methods on how to eat a pig.

After going through this process, the destinations of pigs, pig skins, pork, pig viscera, pig hair, and pig feces will be clearly arranged.

They even use the living habits of pigs when they were alive and use these habits to create some invisible value.

There are not many enemies around the Ming Dynasty that can be exploited. Therefore, at this time, establishing slaves is particularly precious.

It must be painful to live in a small country next to a huge and powerful country.

No matter how polite this big country is, they will definitely suffer in the process of interacting with big countries. Just like an elephant and a dog as neighbors, the elephant has no intention of harming the dog. , however, the dog’s life will be very painful.

What's more, Yunzhao himself is an emperor with a background of bandits, and his subordinates are basically bandits. As long as they are bandits, occupying the mountains and becoming kings, robbing families and homes is their highest purpose.

Especially when the entire Ming Dynasty became subordinate to Yun Zhao, the bandit emperor, expansion became the only option.

Yun Yang represents the attitude of the military. The reason why he took the train from Tongguan to Yushan this time was to express the opinions of the military.

The Ming Dynasty has completed the task of regaining its territory in the three directions of southwest, north and south. At this time, the slaves in the east are extremely dazzling.

The military has little interest in stationing in the country. They prefer to leave the Ming Dynasty and go to the unknown world.

Now, the most important reason why there are still heavy troops stationed in the country is that the war in the east has not stopped, and the slave establishment is still threatening the east of the empire. If this serious problem is removed, the domestic war will The army can choose a direction they think is suitable to expand territory.

Opening up new territories has always been the highest ideal and the highest honor of a soldier.

Just like Duan Guoren, after the battle at Tuoyun Ranch, he regained most of the Western Region for the Ming Dynasty. His military rank has surpassed that of Yun Yang, the overlord general, and he has become a three-level general.

Under normal circumstances, General Ba is already the leader of the Lantian Imperial Court.The highest officer of Quan, General Quan is already an honorary title. As for General Quan, who has a higher military rank, judging from Yun Yang, it is estimated that no one will announce the news that he has become General Quan until he is buried in peace.

When it comes to these things, it is an extremely boring thing. If you break it into pieces and look at it, there are only the most annoying suspicions and wariness in human nature.

China’s system has always been based on Confucianism and Legalism.

To put it simply, what you say sounds nice, but what you do is insidious.

Those in power do not hesitate to view human nature as extremely disgusting, and once these regulations come out, they expose the fact that the emperor is a person who does not trust anyone.

How can Yun Zhao be an exception?

These specific facts, in the end, return to the great question of whether human nature is inherently good or inherently evil. If we continue to delve deeper, Qiong Yunzhao will not be able to give a suitable answer in his life.

So, Yun Zhao only does things, not talks!

Liaodong's affairs are not an urgent matter for today's Ming Dynasty. In contrast, Yun Zhao is more concerned about the universal education he arranged three years ago.

To be precise, this matter is actually a complete mess...

When the whole people is engaged in education, all kinds of weird things will happen.

Yun Zhao was mentally prepared for this and was also prepared to face the serious consequences.

However, these consequences are much lighter than the fact that all people are illiterate.

“The literacy rate of the people in the Ming Dynasty. When we did not carry out universal literacy and universal education, only one and a half people out of a thousand people could read documents...

Xu Yuanshou followed the script with a serious look, which made Yun Zhao want to laugh.

After watching Xu Yuanshou read the statistical report and take off his glasses, Yun Zhao smiled and said: "Sir, do you believe this statistic?"

Xu Yuanshou said: "The Ming Dynasty opened. It took three hundred years for scholars to reach the level of one and a half scholars among a thousand people. We have added three people in three years, an average of one person per year.

One year is more than the number of scholars in the two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty. Your majesty is a wise man, no one has ever done it before or since!"

Yun Zhao said with a smile: "Since you don't believe it, why do you still read this statistical report in front of me?"

Xu Yuanshou put on his glasses, looked at Yun Zhao from above and said, "I just want to show Your Majesty how shameless your officials are!

In the past three years, Their main achievement was to artificially lower the literacy rate of the people during the Zhu Ming Dynasty, and artificially increase the educational achievements in the past three years. Then, this statistical document appeared.

The veteran even believed that His Majesty even We sent people from the Supervision Department to investigate, and the final results must be consistent with those in the statistical reports.The numbers are almost the same, this is the skill of being an official.

However, I can make a bet with Your Majesty with the number of heads on my neck - in my Ming Dynasty, there are definitely not as many scholars as the statistical report says! "

Yun Zhao took the document and threw it on the case and said: "I can also bet sir that the literacy rate of the people of Ming Dynasty in the past three years must have increased faster than that of Zhu Ming at any time.

I know that there must be many strange methods here, but we still have to trust our officials, they are not shameless enough to make it up.

Xu Yuanshou sighed and said: "Your Majesty is anxious, and the officials below are also anxious. When everyone is anxious, the officials at the bottom can't think so much. The only real thing is to complete the task and keep the black hat." .

Teaching and educating people cannot be rushed. It takes ten years to cultivate trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. They must be accumulated slowly.

Your Majesty, please don’t think that I focus on Yushan Academy just to cultivate a group of elites and ignore the basic education of the people. In fact, the Ming Dynasty has just embarked on the right path. We are in urgent need of talents, and we urgently need the best talents. Only then can the Lantian Dynasty founded by His Majesty be pushed to a high point.

With this high point, even if the descendants are useless, they can still work hard for a few more years in the future. "

Yun Zhao poured a cup of tea for Xu Yuanshou and pushed it over: "Which founding emperor didn't push the dynasty up? But did they change anything? The violent Qin could not succeed, the strong Han could not succeed, the prosperous Tang could not succeed, and the Xiong Ming could not succeed.

Since those emperors did not succeed, it means that this path is wrong. I am still young, almost the youngest founding emperor in Chinese history. Therefore, I have time, energy, and Be patient and walk a road no one has ever walked before.

Nowadays, our Ming Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses. Although there are slaves still in Liaodong, they are just scabies. As long as the opportunity is ripe, I can wipe them out with the wave of my hand.

So, I have to keep experimenting. Even if I am wrong, as long as I don’t touch the fundamentals, I will have the capital to make a comeback. "

"At that time, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was also a man of great talent and strategy. He also did many experiments. Unfortunately, the result of his experiments was that he ruined his country. ”

“He touched the fundamentals, and the Guanlong family infiltrated his court. If he didn’t dig the Grand Canal and conquer Goguryeo, it would be difficult for him to establish his authority. Therefore, he was desperate and jumped over the wall. My leisurely arrangement is a completely different matter.

My husband taught me these principles. Have you forgotten them?

In other words, as my husband is getting older, he no longer has the ambition to be proactive and is only thinking about how to cling to his limitations? "

Xu Yuanshou sighed and said: "That's all, the country is your country. As a teacher, I can only help you protect the country wholeheartedly. As for other things, it is beyond my ability.

I know how difficult it is to build a dynasty.

We have killed so many people and spent so many years fighting.The common people have suffered so much, and so many academy disciples have sacrificed their lives and shed blood, just to bet with their lives that a prosperous age will come.

But you don’t cherish..."

Looking at Xu Yuanshou’s bleak back, Yun Zhao shook his head and said to Zhang Xiu, who had been by his side: "I am the kind of person who does not cherish the blood of heroes. people? ”

Zhang Xiu shook his head and said: “It’s not that your Majesty doesn’t cherish the blood of heroes, but it’s because you care too much that you do this.” Xu Shanchang is already old and decrepit, and Hengqu's theory also has many flaws.

In the final analysis, Hengqu theory and Dong Zhongshu's Confucianism are the same. They are both a kind of knowledge that serves the dynasty. Xu Shanchang has been stuck in this big pit and can't get out.

Since His Majesty implemented the policy of education for all, the biggest change has not been in the states and counties of the Ming Dynasty, nor in the various schools that have blossomed everywhere. What has really changed is Yushan Academy.

Nowadays, the students of Yushan Academy suddenly discovered that they are no longer the only source of officials of the Ming Dynasty. This is a threat to them, a big threat. They must be better than elsewhere. Only when the scholars in the academy are smarter, more knowledgeable, and more in tune with people's lives can they continue to become officials in the Ming Dynasty.

With these changes in reality, Yushan Academy can only continue to reduce the obscure and difficult Hengqu lineage of knowledge, and has to give up more class hours to the more useful arithmetic and investigation of things. , geometry, chemistry, geography and other subjects.

And these subjects also release their own power. History makes people wise, poetry makes people smart, arithmetic makes people precise, investigation of things makes people profound, ethics makes people solemn, and logic and rhetoric make people eloquent. .

I think that after the charm of these subjects lasts for some years, the education in our Ming Dynasty will become more comprehensive, and elites will emerge one after another, and they will be better than the students cultivated by the current Yushan Academy. Even more excellent. ”
