Chapter 15 People always change

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

Destruction is a common method used by the Lantian imperial court and the most skilled method used.

Therefore, they generally have a new analysis of the enemy's views and value.

We will not be impatient to eliminate all Jiannu just because he caused irreparable harm to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Enemies are valuable too.

Sometimes, the value of enemies is even higher than that of allies, so you should treat them well.

Nowadays, the methods of killing pigs in the Lantian imperial court have basically reached the highest point of cutting a cow. They have already had a complete set of methods for how to eat a pig.

After this process, the places where pigs, pig skins, pork, pig internal organs, pig hairs and pig feces will be arranged clearly.

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

There were not many enemies that could be exploited around the Ming Dynasty, so at this time, Jiannu seemed particularly precious.

Living in a small country around a huge and powerful country must be painful.

No matter how polite this great country is, they will definitely suffer in the process of interacting with great countries. Just like an elephant is a neighbor with a dog, the elephant has no intention of hurting the dog, but the life of a dog will be very painful.

What's more, Yun Zhao himself is an emperor who was born into a robber, and his command is basically robbers. As long as they are robbers, occupying mountains and becoming kings, and robbing families is their highest purpose.

Especially when the entire Ming Dynasty became a subordinate of Yun Zhao, the robber emperor, expansion became the only choice.

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

The Ming Dynasty had completed the task of regaining the country in three directions, north and south. At this time, the Jiannu from the East seemed extremely dazzling.

The military has little interest in seizing the country. They hope to leave the Ming Dynasty and go to an unknown world to see it.

Now, the most important reason why heavy troops are still stationed in China is that the war in the east has not stopped yet, and Jiannu is still threatening the east of the empire. If this confidant trouble is removed, the domestic army can choose a direction they think is suitable to expand their territory.

Expanding territory has always been the highest ideal for soldiers and the highest honor for soldiers.

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

Generally speaking, General Ba is already the highest commander of the Lantian imperial court with military power, and the general is already an honorary title. As for General Quan with a higher military rank, based on Yun Yang, it is estimated that someone will announce that he has become General Quan when he is buried.

When it comes to these things, it is extremely boring. If you break them apart and look at them, there are only the most annoying suspicion and guardianship in human nature.

China's system has always been Confucian and legal.

Simply put, it sounds nice and is sinister.

Those in power are willing to look at human nature extremely disgusting. Once these regulations come out, they reveal a fact that the emperor is a person who does not believe in anyone.

How can Yun Zhao be an exception?

These specific facts eventually return to the great question of whether human nature is good or human nature is evil. If you continue to study it in depth, Qiu Yunzhao will not be able to give a suitable answer in his life.

Therefore, Yun Zhao only did it, not said it!

The Liaodong incident is not an imminent matter for the Ming Dynasty today. In contrast, Yun Zhao is more concerned about the universal education he arranged three years ago.

To be precise, this matter was actually done in a mess...

When the whole nation is running education, all kinds of strange things will happen.

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

However, these consequences are much lighter than the fact that the whole nation is illiterate.

"The literacy rate of the people of the Ming Dynasty was that when we did not carry out national literacy and education, only one and a half of the people could understand documents...

Since our national literacy and education for all has been carried out for three years, the proportion has increased to four and a half people…”

Xu Yuanshou looked serious in his script, and Yun Zhao wanted to laugh when he saw it.

After watching Xu Yuanshou finish reading the statistical report and taking off his glasses, Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Sir, do you believe in this statistics?"

Xu Yuanshou said: "Three hundred years after the Ming Dynasty, the number of scholars was established, only one and a half of the 1,000 people was the size of scholars. We added three people in three years, and on average one person was added every year.

The success of the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years in a year is Your Majesty’s wise and wise, and there is no one who comes after you!”

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Since the sir doesn't believe it, why do you still recite this statistical report in front of me?"

Xu Yuanshou put on his glasses and betted on Yun Zhao from above the glasses, saying, "I just want your Majesty to see how shameless the officials under your command are!

In the past three years, their main achievements were to artificially reduce the literacy rate of the people during the Zhuming period and artificially improve the educational achievements over the past three years. Then, this statistical document appeared.

The old minister even believed that even if His Majesty sent the Supervision Department to investigate, the final result would be similar to the figures in the statistical report. This is his ability to be an official.

However, the old minister can bet with His Majesty with his head - I, the scholars in the Ming Dynasty, have absolutely no such thing as the statistical report said!"

Yun Zhao took the document and threw it on the case and said, "I can also bet with the sir that the literacy rate of the people of the 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 believe our officials, who are not as shameless as they are making up."

Xu Yuanshou sighed and said, "Your Majesty is anxious, and the officials below are also anxious. When everyone is anxious, the officials below cannot think so much. It is true that they complete the task and keep the black hat.

Teaching and educating people is not urgent. If you have been a tree for ten years and a hundred years of cultivation, you must accumulate slowly.

Your Majesty, don’t think that I am devoted to 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 urgently need talents and the best talents to push the Lantian Dynasty, which Your Majesty created, to a high point.

With this high point, even if the descendants are not good, they can still struggle for a few more years in the future.”

Yun Zhao poured a cup of tea for Xu Yuanshou and pushed it over and said, "Which founding emperor did not push the dynasty higher? But did they change anything when they did this? The tyrannical Qin will not succeed, the strong Han will not succeed, the prosperous Tang will not succeed, and the great Ming will not succeed.

Since those emperors have not succeeded, it means that this path is wrong. I am still young and almost the youngest founding emperor in Chinese history books. Therefore, I have the time, energy, and patience to walk a path that my predecessors have never taken.

Nowadays, my Ming Dynasty is strong and powerful. Although Jiannu is still in Liaodong, it is just a disease of scabies. As long as the opportunity is ripe, I can wipe him out with a wave of his hand.

Therefore, I have to keep experimenting. Even if it is wrong, as long as I don’t touch the root cause, I will have the capital to make a comeback.”

"Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui, was also a talented and strategic person. He also did a lot of experiments. Unfortunately, the result of his experiments was to harm all his country."

"He touched the root of the Guanlong family, and his court was penetrated. If he did not dig the Grand Canal and conquered Goguryeo, it would be difficult for him to establish his authority. Therefore, he was a desperate person, which was completely different from my calm arrangement.

These principles were taught by my teacher. Have you forgotten them?

Or, the gentleman is old and has no ambition to be proactive and just thinking about how to hold on to his shortcomings?”

Xu Yuanshou sighed and said, "Forget it, the country is your country. As a teacher, I can only help you protect the country wholeheartedly. As for other things, it has exceeded my ability.

I know how difficult it is to establish a dynasty.

We have killed so many people in battle, consumed so many years, suffered so much, and so many academy disciples have sacrificed their lives to bet on a prosperous era.

But you don't cherish it..."

Looking at Xu Yuanshou's bleak back, Yun Zhao shook his head and said to Zhang Xiu who had been by his side: "Am I the kind of person who doesn't cherish the blood of heroes?"

Zhang Xiu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty does not cherish the blood of heroes, but because he cared too much, he did this. Xu Shanchang is already old, and Hengqu theory also has many flaws.

After all, Hengqu theory is the same as Dong Zhongshu's Confucian school. They are both a kind of knowledge that serves the dynasty. Xu Shanchang was trapped in this big pit and could no longer get out.

Since Your Majesty implemented the policy of universal education, the biggest changes have not been the various prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty, nor the various schools that bloomed everywhere. The real changes have been Yushan Academy.

Nowadays, the students of Yushan Academy suddenly discovered that they were no longer the only source of the Ming officials. This was a threat to them, a great threat. They must be smarter, more knowledgeable, and more in line with the lives of the people than the scholars in the academies elsewhere, so that they can continue to become officials of the Ming Dynasty.

These changes in reality, forced Yushan Academy can only continuously reduce the obscure and difficult knowledge of Hengqu, and have to give more lessons to subjects such as mathematics, investigation, geometry, chemistry, and geography that are more useful.

These disciplines also release their own power. History makes people wise, poetry makes people smart, mathematics makes people sophisticated, study things makes people profound, ethics makes people solemn, and logic and rhetoric make people eloquent.

I think that after the charm of these disciplines continues for a few years, my Ming Dynasty education will become more comprehensive, and the elites will emerge one after another, and will be better than the students cultivated by the current Yushan Academy."
