Chapter 228: Have more children and read more
Although the rain in Xichengfu turned from heavy rain to light rain half an hour later, the light rain fell to the evening.
It's even more for Zhao Yan to give face.
Next, those trivial matters will naturally be handed over to Bai Lin, the governor of Jinzhou.
Zhao Yan has been away from Changdan for four months, and it is time to return to the palace.
However, Zhao Yan did not return with Yang Hong. The army was walking too fast, so Zhao Yan was thinking of seeing more among the people, so Heiwa drove the carriage to take Zhao Yan slowly towards Changdan.
Two days later, the incident of rainfall in Zhao Yanming spread to almost every corner of the Great Zhou, and with the continuous processing of some folk artists, many interesting versions have been formed.
"You didn't see it. Our Emperor stood on the city tower of Xicheng Mansion, then pointed to the hot sun in the sky, and said loudly: God obeys the order, I will let you rain quickly. After His Majesty finished speaking, the clear sky changed color instantly, and the dark clouds rolled, the strong wind roared, and a heavy rain suddenly fell. It was simply amazing..."
"My cousin is a man from Xichengfu. This is what he saw with his own eyes. When His Majesty saw that there was a drought in Xichengfu, he immediately mobilized several artillery pieces and slammed into the sky nearly a hundred times, then a thick cloud fell, and the heavy rain fell!"
"You don't know that Your Majesty brought a hundred cannons that were comparable to thunder to the sky, and the whole city was shaking. Some people even heard the faint sound of dragon roar. Even God recognized Your Majesty as the master!"
...
In the past few days, the entire Zhou Dynasty has been discussing this matter, and it spreads Zhao Yan like a god descending from the sky.
Zhao Yan had heard more than a dozen different statements on the road, and he almost fainted from laughing.
The imagination of the people is so rich.
Although most legends are false, after this incident, Zhao Yan's status in the minds of the people of Dazhou has been greatly improved. The prefectures and prefectures are now carrying out new policies in an orderly manner, and everything in Dazhou is developing in an orderly manner according to Zhao Yan's plan.
And at this moment, in a military tent in Northern Mongolia.
Ergu lay on the table, sticking his butt, holding a brush in one hand and a thick piece of paper full of Chinese characters in the other.
And at the front of the paper, there are five big words "Two Hundred New Policies".
Ergu has always been concerned about the every move of the Great Zhou. He once sent several dead soldiers to the Great Zhou to steal the secret recipe for making firearms and sky thunder, but until now, there is still no news.
Zhao Yan is busy with the new policy, and he is also busy bribing war horses, hoping to breed stronger war horses.
But unfortunately, Ergu felt that no matter how hard he tried, he could not compare to the Great Zhou.
Just yesterday, he also heard the story of Zhao Yan's order to rain in the world. He was extremely angry and always felt that he was the only one who could do such a thing in the world.
The only thing that made him feel relieved was that the warriors of Northern Mongolia brought back the content of the reform of the Great Zhou New Deal.
The new policy has 200 items, and it was said that it was written by Zhao Yan’s personal letter, and it has been implemented in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After Ergu read the 200 new policies, he only had two words in his heart: convinced.
Once upon a time, he always felt that fists were the hard truth. As long as the cavalry in Northern Mongolia was invincible in the world, he could conquer anywhere. But after reading Zhao Yan's "Two Hundred New Deals", he realized that conquering the hearts of the people was considered a real conquest.
Soon, Ergu had a new idea, and he felt that Northern Mongolia also needed a new policy.
But so far, he has only come up with three.
He was quite satisfied with his current three new policies and named them: Xiance Three.
"Hmph, Zhao Yan, these three tricks of me are enough to match your 200!" After Ergu wrote all the three tricks on paper, he immediately began to summon military officers and counselors from Northern Mongolia.
Soon, more than 30 people rushed into the huge military tent, all of which were the core of Northern Mongolia, including fifteen generals and more than twenty strategists.
In Northern Mongolia, there were no pure civil servants, only counselors. Although Ergu sometimes obeyed the opinions of these counselors, he still regarded them as servants from the bottom of his heart and generals as brothers.
After all the strategists and generals arrived, Ergu said loudly: "Everyone, you should have heard the news about the Great Zhou these days. The little emperor Zhao Yan launched a comprehensive new policy in the Great Zhou. The purpose of the new policy is to make the Great Zhou stronger and more prosperous. If they become strong and prosperous, the next thing they do will definitely be to destroy the Northern Meng, so we must be prepared for danger in times of peace, and Northern Meng also needs the reform of the new policy!"
As soon as these words were said, the strategists around him took a deep breath. People with a little bit of education knew that since ancient times, there have been only a few successful new policies, and the officials involved in the new policies will always end up miserably.
"After reading the 200 new policies of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I thought hard all night and felt that I, Beimeng, did not have so many loopholes that need to be remediated like the Great Zhou Dynasty. If we want Beimeng to be strong, we can actually do three things!"
The vision of the strategists and generals was all focused on Ergu.
Ergu picked up the words he wrote and said, "I named these three strategies as Xian Ce Three, the first of which is that the men of Northern Mongolia must read more!"
"Look at you, you only know how to ride and shoot during the day, and drink and have fun at night. Have you ever considered why I, Beimeng, could not invent firearms, thunderstorms, and squat tiger cannons? Are we not as smart as the people of the Great Zhou? No, we never read books!"
"From now on, starting from this commander, everyone in Dazhou will have to read books, read at least three books a month. We need to learn more knowledge, and then use the power of knowledge to invent more weapons that are more powerful than those things in Dazhou! Did you hear it?"
"Yes, Grandmaster!" the people in the tent replied in unison.
However, most generals were not very happy because they were rough people, as long as they could not see two pages of the book, they might fall asleep.
As for the strategists, they read books all day long, but the books they read are all books of intrigue. They can never invent weapons like firearms in their entire lives.
"Secondly, I am vast and sparsely populated. You must have more children. You can marry as many as you can. If you can, you can give birth to a few. When our number exceeds that of the Great Zhou, we will be able to destroy the Great Zhou quickly."
"Master, I will definitely not embarrass Bei Meng when it comes to giving birth!" said a general about eight feet tall and looking stupid. This man married four wives and had six children.
"Same for me!"
"Same for me!"
