"As for culture and education, we will continue to increase investment. We can't let the foreign family only produce martial artists in Pingzhou! ”

Speaking of this, Shang Ji made a little joke, and everyone smiled in agreement.

Pingzhou only produces martial artists, which was not proposed by Shang Ji.

Although the situation in Dahan is relatively stable at present, there have been no large-scale conflicts. But the open and secret battles between the princes of all walks of life have already begun, and the most typical is all kinds of smearing competitors.

The Pingzhou Army has a brilliant record, and there is really nothing to black about in terms of martial arts, so many people turn their brains to culture and education.

took advantage of the fact that Pingzhou was backward in culture and education before, smeared it vigorously, and tried its best to portray Pingzhou as a barbaric place.

Not to mention, this kind of propaganda with ulterior motives has really brought some trouble to Pingzhou, at least Pingzhou has added a bit of difficulty when recruiting immigrants.

Of course, Deng Yan and they also thought about counterattacking, but on the battlefield of public opinion, how is Pingzhou the opponent of the Shi clan gate lords who control the right to speak (the main force of smearing is Yuan Shao, Han Fu and others)? And the current environment does not allow the use of force, so Pingzhou can only helplessly endure the smear of others.

Others laughed, but Deng Yan didn't. To enhance culture and education, it is useless to spend money alone. Those great Confucians either regard money as dung, or they themselves are not short of money.

The three Hongru and more than 20 Confucians invited before were basically obtained by Guan Ning and Wang Lie, who had tried all kinds of tricks to get them.

If you want to invite more, Guan Ning's face is not good!

As for self-cultivation, Pingzhou's background is too poor, and it can't cultivate suitable candidates for the time being.

Shang Ji naturally saw Deng Yan's embarrassment, smiled slightly, and said proudly: "When the news comes out, it is said that I have a collection of "Zhou Yi", "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Spring and Autumn", "Han Feizi", "Lao Tzu", "Warring States Policy", "Ink Classic" and other works. ”

"Shhhh

The others didn't react yet, but Deng Yan gasped first.

"Lord...... Lord, this matter must not be joked! ”

Shang Ji smiled and didn't speak, he directly took out a classic book from the Qiankun ring and threw it to Deng Yan casually.

Deng Yan hurriedly caught it, looked at it, and saw two quaint characters of "Zhou Yi" written on the cover!

Deng Yan flipped through it hastily to make sure that Shang Ji was not bragging, and the whole person suddenly became excited.

For high-ranking scribes like them, a single book of sages is definitely more attractive to them than most temptations in the world.

Relying on these unique classics is enough to attract a large number of well-educated Confucians. Especially the children of poor families from humble backgrounds, even if they bring their own dry food to work in Pingzhou for ten or eight years, in exchange for the opportunity to consult the classics, they will be happy!

"Rest assured, with this help, it is not far from Xiangping becoming the treasure of Wenhua!"

Not only Deng Yan was full of confidence, but even Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Yan Xian and others next to him were full of red light, they knew better than Shang Ji the importance of these classics, and they also knew better how much of a sensation it would bring if the news that there were a large number of sages in Pingzhou and could be opened for reading.

Seeing that everyone was eager to try, Shang Ji laughed and hit the railway while it was hot: "Not only these, we also have seven military books such as "Wu Zi", "Sun Bin Art of War", "Sima Law", "Liutao", "Three Strategies", "Wei Xuanzi", "Detailed Explanation of Ancient and Modern Formations", four heaven-level internal strength books, nine various martial arts secret books, and twenty-seven treasure books are all unique, and you can exchange learning opportunities with meritorious deeds. ”

At this moment, even Liu Yi, Zhao Yun and others, who were not very interested, were excited. Not to mention those military books, the thirteen martial arts cheats alone are enough to arouse their great interest.

Don't think that because they have heaven-level exercises, they won't be interested in other high-level exercises.

At their level, there is basically no gain from working behind closed doors, and they need to read the strengths of others, gather the strengths of hundreds of schools, and create their own paths, these martial arts cheats are an excellent opportunity.

Seeing everyone's excitement, Shang Ji waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, everyone has a share." There is no limit to the number of times you can learn this book! ”

"The last general will be on behalf of all the robes, thank you for the favor of the lord!"

Liu Yi got up and thanked the generals on behalf of the vast number of generals.

"Hahaha, since my brother is out of the list, let my brother introduce us to the military changes in Pingzhou in the past year!"

Liu Yi clenched his fists when he heard this, and said loudly: "The lord and many robes are on an expedition to foreign lands, during this period, the strength of our army is mainly divided into four major parts, namely the Longroar Mountain cluster, the Lulong Fortress cluster, the Xiangping cluster, and the grassland cluster.

In the past year, our army has pursued a military strategy of active defense, with military training, suppression of bandits, and internal stability as the main body. In the past year, the overall situation in Pingzhou has been stable, and there have been no major wars. After a year of supplementary training, the total strength of the army has recovered to 7 million, and its combat effectiveness has also been markedly improved.

There have been six skirmishes between the two major clusters in the east and the west and the surrounding forces, but all of them have been properly resolved and the conflicts have not expanded.

In one year, the army of more than 5,000 troops was dispatched 36 times, suppressed six rebellions, and exterminated more than 80 bandits. In order to extinguish the rebellion and banditry, more than 8,000 soldiers of our army were killed in the local conflict.

"Rebellion? Where is the rebellion? ”

Shang Ji frowned when he heard this, he hadn't received a report about the rebellion before!

"Lord Qiqi, there were six rebellions, four of which came from other parts of the grassland, one from the remnants of Goguryeo, and the last one was the Wuhuan rebels. The scale of the six rebellions was not large, and the largest grassland tribe rebellion only had more than 20,000 rebels, and it was jointly extinguished by the surrounding grassland tribes before our soldiers and horses arrived.

The same is true for several other things, none of which have caused major losses, and in order not to affect the lord's conquest of foreign lands, the lord has not been informed. ”

Shang Ji nodded knowingly.

It is not surprising that there will be a rebellion, there must be dead branches when the tree is big, and there must be idiots when there are many people. There are more than 500 million people in the whole territory, and there are always some people who are not very spiritual in their brains who rebel for such and such strange reasons.

However, no matter what the cause of the rebellion was, Shang Ji's attitude towards the rebellion was just one word - kill!

Although Shang Ji was not there, Liu Yi still perfectly implemented Shang Ji's policy, the masterminds and main participants of the six rebellions were all executed, and the soldiers who participated in the rebellion were also sent to the prisoner of war camp as coolies, contributing to the construction of the Chi Road in Pingzhou.
