Chapter 658 Red face, white face

Taohua Island Heavenly Dao Temple.: 6d

This is a large and simple paradise of heaven. Because there are no permanent residents on Taohua Island, almost all residents are temporary. Whether it is the first land brigade of the Ming Navy's Nanyang Fleet, or the nearly ten thousand members of the Yimen in Jiangnan who were guarded by them, they are only temporary residents. Therefore, this paradise of heaven is also temporary. However, the Taoist nun who presided over this paradise of heaven is not an ordinary character. She is the "chief black-clad Taoist nun" who has just been dressed in black. The reason why Xiao Ai has such a nickname is because Xiao Ai's black Taoist robe was personally worn by Chen Dexing!

Sending Xiao Ai to Taohua Island as the Taoist temple host actually demonstrates the importance Chen Dexing and Mo Yingniang attaches great importance to "educating" the children of the Jiangnan Yimen. In Chen Dexing's view, there are many smart people among the children of the Jiangnan Yimen. This Yimen system, which is specifically used to deal with the imperial examinations, is to use biology to select and cultivate high-IQ academic masters.

Almost all Yimenzi were born for studying and exams. Everyone would study extremely hard. In the end, the person who could stand out and pass the Jinshi must be a person with higher IQ. And the smarter he is, the more he could become a Jinshi when he was young and strong. In this way, their chances of leaving behind children will be far greater than other Yimenzi Yimenzis who value first and then seek a wife. Therefore, many Yimenzis who have not won the Jinshi in their lifetime did not marry a wife in the end...

Therefore, the Yimen of Jiangnan is a place where smart people gather! Chen Dexing, who also came from the Yimen, himself has a deep understanding. Because his soul deeply felt the meaning of the word "smart". For example, he has a strong memory in this life and can almost never forget it.

But at the same time, he also deeply understood what "high intelligence and low energy" is like this!

Therefore, what Chen Dexing needs to liberate now is not only the population and land controlled by Yimen, but also the thoughts of the top scholars of Yimen.

The way to liberate the minds of smart people is naturally Mencius's method: firstly, heal his mind and mind, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body and body, and do not mess with his actions, so he can move his heart and endure his nature. If he is poor, he will think of change... Yes, if he is poor, he will think of becoming poor, and his thoughts will change!

From a rich and beautiful woman to a poor and beautiful woman, Du Shisanjie'er is a typical example of her desire to change when she is poor. After running away from home (if she still has home), she plunged into the Taohua Island Heavenly Temple and signed up for a short-term school to be a cram school.

After moving into the dormitory of Taohua Temple, Du Shisanjie discovered that in this big and broken temporary Taoist temple, there were already hundreds of Yimenzi and Yimen girls who ran away from home! They were also compiled into two classes: male and female. They studied the three classics of Tiandaoism with Taoist people or Taoist nuns and the book "Introduction to Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry". It seems that they are all preparing to apply for the Tiandao Academy. There are indeed many smart people among the high-IQ academic masters!

If the Tiandaoism wants to truly prosper for a long time, it is also inseparable from the participation of these smart people in the early Tiandaoism Taoists. Most of them came from the Ming Cult. To put it bluntly, they were the group dancers! It is enough to use them to confuse the wild Tartars in the Liao area and to encourage the poor Han people in the illiterate northern area.

However, with the establishment of the Ming Empire, Tiandaoism was given the responsibility to establish a basic education system. Although the Ming Dynasty had the Ministry of Education, the funds of the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Education were far less than those of Tiandaoism. Moreover, Chen Dexing had relied on Tiandaoism to develop new-style education from the very beginning. Now, naturally, Tiandaoism needs to open more "church schools". In the future, they will also open "church hospitals".

These things cannot be done by those geniuses from the Ming Cult, so they must introduce fresh blood! And these Yimenzi, who have a very solid cultural foundation and a smart mind, are the fresh blood needed by the Tiandaoism. Otherwise, what else can I do? Don’t look at what kind of scientific god Chen Dexing made a name for him, in fact, at least 90% of his subordinates are illiterate! Most of the remaining 10% can recognize a few baskets of words. A true "high-level intellectual" is either a senior officer or a senior civil servant or a teacher at Tiandao Academy. He has no time to carry out extensive new education.

...

"Sir. What's going on in Yimen, Jiangnan? How could I not know?"

While Sister Du Shisan started her new life, Chen Dexing and her father were walking on the shore of Dinghai Military Port. The military port was empty, with not many ships and not many soldiers. The fleets that had gathered in Dinghai Port have now mostly scattered to Fujian, Guangdong and Liangzhe coasts. Not many people stayed in Dinghai. And today is New Year's Eve again. Except for the necessary posts, other soldiers are preparing for holidays and having a meal.

Chen Dexing had no official duties today. The war in Liangzhe was going very slowly because every time a county was captured, military households were recruited and land was divided. This was done with effort. If it was not for this, it would be to win over Yimen and only take the big city. Liangzhe was not difficult to fight, but Chen Ming could not build his foundation, so he could not mobilize Liangzhe's manpower and material resources to develop colonies.

And Liangzhe Yimen is naturally part of manpower and material resources.

So Chen Dexing, who had free time, talked to his father Chen Huaiqing about dealing with the Yimen in Jiangnan.

"Sir, do you still remember the 'English Appointment'?"

"Tianzhu..." Chen Huaiqing nodded slightly, "It is said to be a good place, with a large land and abundant resources, and a wealth of resources, no less than that of Jiangnan!"

At this time, Tianzhu was actually China's most important trading partner! Europe is still in the dark Middle Ages, with limited consumption capacity. Dashi was ravaged by Mongolia and was ruined and had no consumption capacity. Tianzhu had to maintain prosperity because the Sultanate of Delhi repelled the invasion of the Mongols. The caste system of Tianzhu's characteristic ensured that the upper rulers of Tianzhu had enough financial resources to consume, and at the same time, the handicraft industry in Tianzhu had enough cheap labor. Moreover, Tianzhu's territory was large enough and the population was large, which was indeed a good place!

Of course, Chen Dexing will not forget that the glorious British Empire in history was based on the exploitation of India's Ah San.

"Tianzhu is indeed no less than Jiangnan!" Chen Dexing nodded with satisfaction. The reason why Chen Huaiqing was able to say this shows that he had spent some time studying Tiger. "But it is not easy to get involved in Tiger."

"How about Tantric Buddhism?" Chen Huaiqing asked.

India is not a unified country, but a small world. Although India has many countries, most of its rulers are at least outsiders. They are either the first Aryans to enter, or the Tianfang scholars who later entered from Afghanistan or the Western Regions. The Aryans who entered the early days were divided into two major camps: Brahminism and Buddhism. Therefore, India has been in the Tianfang religion in the past few hundred years, and Brahminism and Buddhism have fought against them. However, the Polo Kingdom, which believed in Buddhism, perished decades ago. Therefore, Buddhism in India is on the verge of destruction, and is the one that needs external support among the three major sects, and therefore is the easiest to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. The reason why the Dama Polo fell into Chen Huaiqing's arms despite the identity of the Polo Princess was because of this.

"Tanishism is indeed a bridge," Chen Dexing thought, "but Tantra has the benefits of Tantra. They will support us when they do not enter India, but once they enter India, they may still want the Polo Kingdom."

He stopped and looked back at Chen Huaiqing, "And, you don't have your own power, so there is no way to build a country."

Chen Huaiqing did not have his own strength. Chen Dexing had the Tiandaoism, the sage army, and the gentry of the sea. The three pillars supported the Ming Empire. However, Chen Huaiqing did not have his own group, and in this regard he was even inferior to those warlords who defected to Chen Dexing. Without his own group, Chen Huaiqing could only rely on Chen Dexing to split some of his strength to support his country.

But Chen Dexing is currently unwilling to disperse his power too much for overseas use. Because the core of Chen Dexing's three pillars is actually the sir-armed soldiers. These first-generation military nobles are very capable of fighting, but it is not easy to cultivate. If a large number of bans were sent abroad, Chen Dexing's own power would be weakened.

Moreover, these people are seeds, and they need to reproduce an upper class belonging to the Chen Ming Empire. Now most of the lords are still fighting everywhere and have not taken root in various places, let alone breeding the second and third generations. Therefore, Chen Dexing does not have a large number of lords and gangs to use for this. These are troubles, and of course they are also the driving force for expansion.

"Dexing," Chen Huaiqing understood his son's meaning at this time, "Is it that I want me to use the people in the Yimen in Jiangnan for my own use?"

"How?" Chen Dexing asked back, "Are these people still available?"

Chen Huaiqing held his beard and thought, "There are hundreds of thousands of people in the Yimen Sect, and those with outstanding talents naturally carry a car. But how can they use it for their own use for their father?"

"Guest." Chen Dexing replied with a smile. He had already had a solution, that is, let Chen Huaiqing and Chen Defang imitate the nobles of the Warring States Period and raise their disciples. Wasn't this "scholar" the first one who was raised by the Warring States Aristocrats?

"Mengchangjun raised three thousand guests. The lord is my biological father. The eldest brother is my brother. What's wrong with you keeping three thousand guests?"

Thirty thousand guests? If family members are included, then there are more than 100,000 people! With these people, Chen Huaiqing and Chen Defang have their own strength! Just so many people, how much does it cost to raise them for a year?

Chen Huaiqing's face was a little embarrassed. He doesn't have that much money!
