Chapter 15: People Always Change
Generally speaking, a country's grand strategy is only produced after a game process.
Destruction is a common method used by the Lantian Imperial Court, and it is also the most skillful method used.
As a result, they generally have a new assessment of their perception of the enemy, as well as their value.
will not be impatient to wipe out all of them because Jiannu has caused irreparable damage to the people of the Ming Dynasty before.
The enemy is also valuable.
Sometimes, the value of the enemy is even higher than that of the ally, so treat it well.
Nowadays, the means of killing pigs in the Lantian Imperial Court have basically reached the highest level of cooking, how to eat a pig, they already have a complete set of means.
After this process, the pigs, pig skins, pork, pig offal, pig hair, and pig manure will be arranged clearly.
It will even take advantage of the living habits of pigs when they are alive, and use these habits to create some invisible value.
There are not many enemies around the Ming Dynasty that can be used, so at this time, Jiannu is particularly precious.
It must be painful to live in a small country around a huge and powerful country.
No matter how polite this big country is, in the process of interacting with the big country, they must also suffer, just like an elephant and a dog are neighbors, the elephant has no intention of harming the dog, but the dog's life will be very tormented.
What's more, Yun Zhao himself is an emperor born of a robber, and his subordinates are basically robbers, as long as they are robbers, occupying the mountains as kings, and robbing homes is their highest purpose.
Especially when the entire Ming Dynasty became a subordinate of Yun Zhao, a robber emperor, expansion became the only option.
Yun Yang represents the attitude of the military, and the reason why he took the train from Tongguan to Yushan this time is to express the military's opinion.
The Ming Dynasty has completed the task of recovering the land in the three directions of the southwest and north, and at this time, the Jiannu in the east is extremely dazzling.
The military has little interest in staying in the country, and they prefer to leave the Ming Dynasty and go to the unknown world to see.
Now, the most important reason why the country still has to station heavy troops is that the war in the east has not stopped, and Jiannu is still threatening the east of the empire.
Expanding territory has always been the highest ideal of military personnel, and it is also the highest glory of military personnel.
Just like Duan Guoren, after the first battle in Tuoyun Ranch this time, he recovered most of the Western Regions for the Ming Dynasty, and his military rank has surpassed that of Yun Yang, a tyrannical general, and has become a third-level general.
Under normal circumstances, General Ba is already the highest commander of the Lantian Imperial Court with military power, and General System is already an honorary title, as for General Quan, who has a higher military rank, in terms of Yun Yang, it is estimated that no one will announce the news that he has become General Quan.
When it comes to these things, it is an extremely boring thing, and if you break it down and look at it, there is only the most annoying suspicion and vigilance in human nature.
China's system has always been Confucianism.
To put it simply, it sounds good to say, but it is insidious to do.
Those in power do not hesitate to look at 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, and if we continue to study deeply, Poor Yunzhao will not be able to give a suitable answer in his life.
Therefore, Yun Zhao only does, does not say!
The matter of Liaodong is not an imminent matter for today's Daming, in contrast, Yun Zhao is more concerned about the national education that he arranged three years ago.
To be precise, this matter is actually a mess......
When the whole people are running education, anything strange will happen.
At this point, Yun Zhao was mentally prepared, and he was also prepared to meet the serious consequences.
However, these consequences are much lighter than the fact that the entire population is illiterate.
"The literacy rate of the people of the Ming Dynasty, when we did not carry out national literacy and national education, there were only one and a half people who could read documents among a thousand people......
Three years after the launch of literacy for all and education for all, the proportion has increased to four and a half people per 1,000 people......"
Xu Yuanshou looked serious according to the book, and Yun Zhao wanted to laugh when he saw it.
After Xu Yuanshou finished reading the statistical report and took off his glasses, Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Sir, do you believe this statistic?" ”
Xu Yuanshou said: "In the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, there is only one and a half scholars among the 1,000 people, and we have added three people in three years, with an average of one person per year."
Two hundred years of work in one year, Your Majesty Shengming, there is no one before and no one after him! ”
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Since Mr. doesn't believe it either, then why do you still recite this statistical report in front of me?" ”
Xu Yuanshou put on his glasses, looked at Yun Zhao from above the glasses and said, "I just want Your Majesty to see how shameless the officials under your command are!"
In the past three years, their main merit was to artificially reduce the literacy rate of the people in the Zhu Ming period, and artificially improve the educational results of the past three years, and then this statistical document appeared.
Lao Chen even believed that even if His Majesty sent the Ministry of Supervision to investigate, the final result would be similar to the figure in the statistical report, which is the ability of people to be officials.
However, the old minister can bet with His Majesty with the head of Xiang Shang-I, Da Ming, the reader is definitely not as much as the statistical report says! ”
Yun Zhao took the document and threw it on the case and said, "I can also bet with Mr. that in the past three years, the literacy rate of the people of Daming must have increased faster than Zhu Ming at any time."
I know that there must be a lot of strange methods in this, but we still have to trust our officials, they are not shameless enough to make things up. ”
Xu Yuanshou sighed and said: "Your Majesty is in a hurry, and the officials below are also in a hurry, when everyone is in a hurry, the officials at the bottom can't think about it so much, it is true to complete the task and keep the black yarn hat."
The matter of teaching and educating people must not be urgent, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, and it must be accumulated slowly.
Your Majesty, don't think that I am bent on Yushan Academy just to cultivate a group of elites and ignore the basic education of the people, it is true that the Ming Dynasty has only embarked on the right path, and we urgently need talents, and we urgently need the best talents in order to push the Lantian Dynasty created by Your Majesty to a high point.
With this high point, even if the children and grandchildren do not succeed, they will be able to toss for a few more years in the future. ”
Yun Zhao poured Xu Yuanshou a cup of tea and pushed it over and said, "Which founding emperor didn't push the dynasty up?" But did they change anything? Tyranny Qin will not succeed, strong men will not succeed, Tang Dynasty will not succeed, and Xiongming will 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 the Chinese history books, therefore, I have the time, energy, and patience to take a path that no one has ever walked before.
Nowadays, my Ming soldiers are strong and strong, although there are Jiannu still in Liaodong, it is just a disease of scabies, as long as the opportunity is ripe, I can make him disappear with a wave of my hand.
Therefore, I have to keep experimenting, even if it is wrong, as long as I don't touch the roots, I have the capital to make a comeback. ”
"At that time, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was also an eloquent person, and he also did a lot of experiments, but unfortunately, the result of his experiments was to destroy his own country."
If he didn't dig the Grand Canal and conquer Goguryeo, it would be difficult for him to establish his authority, so he was a dog jumping over the wall, which is completely different from my calm arrangement.
These truths were taught to me by my husband, have you forgotten them?
Or is it that the gentleman is old and has no ambition to be aggressive, and only thinks about how to hold on to the defects? ”
Xu Yuanshou sighed and said: "That's it, the country is your country, I, as a teacher, can only help you keep the country wholeheartedly, as for the rest, it is beyond my ability."
The old man knows how difficult it is to build a dynasty.
We have killed so many people in the war, consumed so many years, the people of the world have suffered so much, and there are so many academy disciples who have shed their blood, just to gamble with their lives for the advent of a prosperous era.
But you don't cherish ......."
Seeing Xu Yuanshou's bleak back, Yun Zhao shook his head and said to Zhang Xiu, who had been guarding 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 the martyrs, but because you care too much, you will do this." Xu Shanchang is already old, and the Hengqu doctrine also has many flaws.
In the final analysis, the Hengqu doctrine is the same as Dong Zhongshu's Confucianism, both of which are a kind of learning that serves the dynasty, and Xu Shanchang is trapped in this big pit and can't get out.
Since His Majesty implemented the policy of education for all, the biggest change is not the various states and counties in the Ming Dynasty, nor the various schools that have blossomed everywhere, but the Yushan Academy that has really changed.
Now, the students of Yushan Academy suddenly found that they are no longer the only source of Ming officials, which is a threat to them, a great threat, they must be more intelligent than the scholars of other academies, more erudite, and more suitable for the lives of the people, in order to continue to become Ming officials.
In reality, these changes forced the Yushan Academy to continuously reduce the obscure and difficult knowledge of the Hengqu lineage, and had to give more class time to more useful subjects such as arithmetic, gewu, geometry, chemistry, and geography.
And these disciplines have also unleashed their own power, history makes people wise, poetry makes people beautiful, arithmetic makes people sophisticated, objects make people profound, ethics makes people dignified, and logic and rhetoric make people good at argumentation.
I think that after the charm of these disciplines lasts for a few years, my education in Daming will become more comprehensive, and elites will emerge one after another, and they will be even better than the students cultivated by the current Yushan Academy. ”
