Wu Haogu talked with Pan Xiao'an and Ji Yi for a night, and it was not until the early morning of the next day that he could be regarded as discussing various important matters of the Anxi Great Education and Chemical Regiment.

First of all, the Great Education Corps is a usury group - it is this Anxi Great Education Corps that lends money to the Hexi Army! Moreover, in addition to the usury of 2 million yuan lent to the Hexi Army, the Great Education and Chemical Corps also had to operate other money-lending businesses on the territory of the Hexi Army.

In other words, the funds for the operation of the Great Religious Corps will exceed 2 million. How can only 2 million yuan be enough? So many strategic investors waiting to lose money are lining up! Therefore, Wu Haogu discussed with Ji Yi and Pan Xiao'an for a long time, and was ready to raise about 5 million yuan of investment for the development and education business of Hexi and Anxi.

What a big deal!

Secondly, the Anxi Great Religious Corps is still a military group! The 5 million yuan was not all used to lend money to build schools, but also to hire thugs. You don't have to have too many people, but you have to keep up with the equipment and training. Wu Haogu's plan was to recruit 500-1000 utility heavy cavalry.

In the past few months, the knight school under the Yuntai Academy Palace has been summing up the lessons learned from the last battle against the Western Xia, and at the same time, it has also added the experience of the Wanyan Shengju Jurchen in beating the Goryeo.

As a result, they discovered a pattern, heavy cavalry and heavy infantry that attacked in dense formations always won the victory. Moreover, the losses caused by a collective charge to the enemy were far greater than the effect of hand-to-hand combat between heavy cavalry and heavy infantry.

Therefore, an army with strong combat effectiveness should be centered on heavy cavalry and heavy infantry that can launch a surprise attack in a dense formation. Other arms, such as light cavalry, archers, etc., should have the main objective of creating conditions for a surprise attack.

And in the future Battle of Anxi, due to terrain constraints, the role of heavy cavalry was obviously greater than that of heavy infantry. Therefore, the Great Sect should have a strong shock heavy cavalry as the foundation for them to subdue people with virtue.

Moreover, considering that the Hexi Army did not lack light cavalry, the heavy cavalry of the Great Education Regiment could completely adopt the "quick method", that is, to abandon the light cavalry skills, and at the same time properly conduct hand-to-hand combat training, and focus the training on the formation of impacts.

That is, to completely separate the heavy cavalry and light cavalry. In this way, in a relatively short period of time, you can train heavy cavalry that can fight in a battle - the ability of light cavalry is actually difficult to practice in heavy cavalry, which is to play acrobatics on horseback, and it is difficult to practice it if it is not a child's skill. Heavy cavalry without light cavalry skills is much simpler, that is, the skills of riding, arraying, and charging with guns.

And the technique is almost nothing, the good technique rushes a little faster, and the distance from which the impact is launched is a little farther. The technical poor rush is a little slower, and the distance of the attack is closer.

In the eyes of Zhao Zhongge, Ma Kuo, Murong Parrot and several big fakes, there is a difference in the elite when facing the elite. If you fight the rabble, as long as the heavy cavalry can charge in formation, it will always be crushed in a burst!

Therefore, Wu Haogu decided to form a "simple" heavy cavalry to participate in the western expedition of the Hexi Army.

They have to be a little prestigious, otherwise Zhao Qianshun may have to be a thief again.

Moreover, the Great Sect still has to educate the Western Regions, and maybe it has to educate Ah San. Therefore, there must be a great Confucian who is responsible for education, and there is no need to bring the curriculum of the Yuntai Academy to the Western Regions.

It's not for secrecy, it's that the cost is too high!

Six basic disciplines, more than a dozen professional disciplines, and also a combination of theory and practice - not just stay in the classroom and chew books, but also carry out various experiments and practices. Therefore, the cost of cultivating a scholar is much higher than that of a traditional Confucian student. If you want to count the previous Six Arts Academy (equivalent to middle school) and new Mongolian school (equivalent to primary school), what Wu Haogu came out of is basically a strengthened version of aristocratic elite education.

A student who graduated from Mengxue to the academy has to spend two or three thousand yuan! That is, it is opened in places like Dashang Market and Kaifeng Mansion, and no one else can afford it at all.

Therefore, this kind of education cannot be carried out in barren places like Hexi and Anxi.

After all, the high cost of aristocratic elite education still has to be borne by the educated. Otherwise, in the future, tens of thousands of "college students" a year will not be able to turn Wu Haogu, the richest man in the Great Song Dynasty, into the first loser?

Therefore, what Wu Haogu is preparing to send out is low-cost science - it has "destroyed people's desires", and the cost must be low.

……

returned to the Wu family's mansion from Qin Niang, and slept until the afternoon when the sun was drying his buttocks, Wu Haogu was full of energy. As soon as I got out of bed, I finished washing, and Zhang Sanbao, the second steward of the martial arts mansion, came to report: "Big brother, the second brother came back this morning, and he is still in the house, but do you want to invite him over?" ”

"Invite him to the inner study." Wu Haogu gave an order, put on a Confucian costume under the service of the maid, and used some snacks, and then went to his inner study.

"Big brother, but you're back, are you okay on the road?"

Wu Haowen was already waiting in the study, and I don't know if there were too many people who patted on the back after being Zhizhou, and they overate every day, anyway, Wu Haowen looked fat......

"Alright, alright." Wu Haogu smiled, "It's just a few hundred miles away, second brother, you have a long way to go, and the right to send Xiuzhou is there!" ”

Wu Haowen smiled bitterly and sat down on a pestle. "It's been three years......"

"Three years?" Wu Hao Gu said, "It won't be that long, right?" ”

He also sat down on a chair and said with a smile: "How many people will really be the governor of the state now?" Second brother, I think you will stay in Xiuzhou for a year and a half at most, and then you should go back to Beijing...... It's not the imperial history, it's the Hanlin! ”

In fact, even if Wu Haowen has worked in Xiuzhou for three years and then returns to Beijing to become a bachelor of Hanlin, he is also a popular candidate. How old is he? Wu Haogu is only 28 years old in the next year, Wu Haowen is still a few years younger than him, he will only be 24 years old next year, and he will only be 27 years old three years later.

If you become a Hanlin bachelor at this age, you will definitely be a ruler in the future!

Wu Haowen smiled and was noncommittal.

Wu Haogu said again: "Second brother, is Mr. Shisheng in Kaifeng Mansion?" ”

Mr. Shisheng is Hou Zhongliang, a great Confucian of science, and the teacher of Wu Haowen.

"The teacher is not in Kaifeng Mansion." Wu Haowen shook his head and said, "Mr. Yichuan's body is getting worse day by day, so the teacher is waiting in Luoyang." ”

Serve? Wu Haogu thought to himself: Cheng Yi has no servants? Do you need Hou Zhongliang to take care of you?

Wu Haogu asked, "Can you ask him to come out of the mountain?" ”

Wu Haowen was stunned for a moment, looking at his eldest brother with a serious look.

What did you ask him to do in the mountains? Write an article in the "Xun Bao" criticizing "positivism" and "rationalism"? He can do this in Yichuan, and he doesn't have to go out of the mountain.

In addition to this, this teacher of his own family must be inferior to the people in his brother's entrainment - who is not in the Yuntai School Palace? And it is also mass-produced, hundreds of them come out every year. Many high-ranking officials in the officialdom have already asked them to be staff, and even they want to invite a few staff members from Yuntai Xuegong to serve in Xiuzhou. Solving cases, managing accounts, writing articles, catching robbers, managing various government industries, what kind of talents are available, how much trouble is it? All you need to do is eat, drink and have fun.

"Big brother," Wu Haowen thought for a while, "...... you invite your teacher out of the mountain."

"Go to Anxi to educate the barbarians." Wu Hao Gu said, "Second brother, this matter is not difficult for Mr. Shisheng, right?" ”

"Ah, it's still difficult?" Wu Haowen rolled his eyelids, "Big brother, do you think that my mentor is the same as your doctoral student, a Confucian who never leaves his sword and convinces people with virtue?" ”

"You don't need Mr. Shisheng to convince people with virtue," Wu Haogu hurriedly explained, "There will be others who will convince people with virtue, and he will only discipline and educate." ”

"Indoctrination?" Wu Haowen was stunned.

Wu Haogu nodded and smiled: "This time, the three sects have joined forces to form a great sect, so we need a great sect to learn through the three sects...... It is not easy to learn the three teachings, and the foolish brother is proficient in Confucianism, and he has no study of Buddhism, so he thinks of your mentor Hou Shisheng. ”

Wu Haowen thought for a while, "But my mentor will not teach the principles of "Positivism" and "Rationality" to those barbarians in the northwest. ”

Hou Zhongliang actually did not reject the "Positivistic Theory" and the "Theory of Reason", but Wu Haogu interpreted "Tianli" as a "hypothesis" in the "Tianli Theory", that is, a hypothesis that has not been tested in practice. Moreover, shortly after the publication of the "Theory of Reason", the Confucian professors of the Yuntai Academy pointed out that "morality" cannot be used as the basis for rational reasoning. Because "morality" itself is also difficult to test in practice—must Confucian morality be higher than Christian morality, higher than Heavenly Christianity, and higher than Buddhist morality? And if it proves that the great Confucians are morally noble, can it prove that there is a connection between Confucian morality and the cosmic wilderness?

Therefore, the status of "Tianli Theory" in the Yuntai School Palace is now getting lower and lower, how can a group of Confucians who have learned "positivism" and "idealism" believe that starvation is a small matter, and a loss of temperance is a big thing, which is not rational at all?

In this case, Confucianism and positivist Confucianism have largely diverged – which also means that efforts to religiorate Confucianism have been crushed by the Yuntai Academy.

The school of science led by Cheng Yi and Hou Zhongliang naturally broke with the Yuntai Academy, and it is not surprising that the two theories of "Positivism" and "Theory of Reason", which dig into the foundation of science, were hated by Hou Zhongliang.

"It's okay, it's okay," Wu Haogu waved his hand, "The "Positivism" and "The Theory of Reason" question the establishment of gods, which are not only incompatible with science, but also the Buddha and Taoism will not like it, let alone those Tianfang disciples who have believed in gods for several lifetimes.

Therefore, when the Northwest is indoctrinated, it is enough to pass on the science! ”

"Communication?" Wu Haowen was skeptical, "Big brother, aren't you afraid that there will be more believers in science and finally defeat your empirical studies?" ”

Wu Haogu laughed: "Of course I'm not afraid!" The truth is not in the crowd! ”

Science cannot defeat positivism and rationalism, but it is through practical experience......
