Li Qianshun didn't seem to hear his plea for mercy, waved his hand, and several armored warriors walked in from outside the main hall.

dragged Li Jiade, who was still crying and begging for mercy, out, and it didn't take long for someone to come back with a human head to restore his life.

"Tell Your Majesty, Li Jiade will be beheaded!"

Li Qianshun nodded, and the depression in his heart dissipated slightly.

He didn't feel sorry for the 1,000 foot soldiers he lost, but the loss of 300 iron harriers made him feel the pain of what is called skin pain.

You must know that according to the national strength of Western Xia, a total of 3,000 iron harriers can be supported, but this time it was a direct loss of 300 horses.

That's a whole tenth!

How could he accept this!

has been the emperor of Western Xia for more than 30 years, how can he stand it when he is used to smooth sailing!

"Prime Minister Zuo!"

Li Qianshun said.

In the main hall, a thin old man in the first class of civil officials came out of the class and said.

"The minister is here!"

"Send someone to Song Guo once to inquire about Song Guo's attitude towards this matter, is it really easy for me to bully Xixia?!"

"Obey the order!"

The thin old man commanded.

……

But Chen Yan didn't know that the crisis was quietly approaching him.

As soon as he came out of the camp of the Dang Capture Army, he summoned Cheng Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"Cheng Wei, how is the literacy class?"

Chen Yan asked, Cheng Wei is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the matter of education is also under his jurisdiction, Chen Yan wants to know how the literacy class is being implemented.

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, it is being launched, but the villagers are not very enthusiastic about the literacy class, that is, they only go to teach literacy for free."

Cheng Wei said.

Chen Yan bowed.

"It's understandable that they are tired from doing farm work all day, and they can't stand it when they go to literacy classes until midnight at night."

"However, although the villagers themselves are not enthusiastic about the literacy class, they are rushing to send their children to the literacy class."

Cheng Wei said with some tears and laughter.

Chen Yan pursed his lips, as if he suddenly remembered something and said.

"Cheng Wei, have you ever wondered why the villagers are not very interested in literacy classes?"

Cheng Wei shook his head, a wry smile on his face.

Chen Yan put aside the towel that wiped the sweat on his hand, shook his head and said.

"But I thought about it, it's because they can't finish their farm work, and if you want them all to go to literacy classes, you have to find a way to get them to finish their farm work as soon as possible, so that they can have enough time to go to literacy classes."

"What do you mean, Dadu, ......"

"Rural cooperatives, we organize a rural cooperative, organize the villagers, plough cattle and farm tools, etc.

"I believe that in this way, their production efficiency can be improved a lot! That way, they can make time for literacy classes. ”

Chen Yan said, and suddenly he seemed to remember something again, and spoke.

"Also, the villagers sell grain, buy salt, farm tools, needles and threads, all of which need to go through those profiteers."

"We can organize farmers' markets, buy and sell, and then set prices for things in a unified manner, so that it is beneficial to the people, so that those profiteers will not be abducted and deceived."

"As for the original small traders who relied on these to eat, we can include them, which not only cracks down on speculation, but also allows them to make money, which can be said to be a win-win situation."

"In this process, our captive army plays a supervisory role, so that everyone except those big profiteers will benefit."

Chen Yan said that he was heartbroken for the villagers to be able to actively enter the literacy class to learn to read and write.

Cheng Wei nodded and spoke.

"Obey the orders of the Metropolitan Governor, does this matter require the cooperation of the household department?"

Chen Yan nodded, this matter really needs the participation of the household department.

"Well, you go to Minister Wen to discuss this matter, and this matter will be implemented as soon as possible."

Cheng Wei left, Chen Yan touched his chin and thought.

What he just said is actually a copy of the rural production cooperatives and supply and marketing cooperatives of later generations.

Chen Yan showed a wry smile on his face, he was offending the squire, landlords, and wealthy businessmen who were going farther and farther on the road!

In fact, there is another thing that the cliché did not say, that is, organizing the villagers and forming an organization with the villagers as the main body can avoid the occurrence of land annexation to the greatest extent.

This is the real purpose of Chen Yan!

The real foundation of a dynasty has never been those landlords and gentry, but those ordinary people who dig in the mud.

In the 5,000-year history of China, except for the two Song dynasties, which were destroyed by foreign races, those dynasties were basically overthrown by peasant uprisings!

The Red Eyebrow Uprising at the end of the Western Han Dynasty!

The Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

Thirty-six roads of smoke and dust in the last years of the Sui Dynasty and seventy-two roads against the king!

The Huangchao Uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty!

The uprising of King Li Chuang, Zhang Xianzhong and others at the end of the Ming Dynasty!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was not the Manchu Qing who destroyed the Ming Dynasty, it was Li Chuang who entered the Forbidden City, if it were not for Wu Sangui to open the Shanhai Pass, the Manchu Qing would not have been able to enter the Central Plains.

Shanhaiguan alone is enough to block the invasion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

It can be seen from this that when every dynasty dies, it is definitely not the landlords and gentry who fill him with the last handful of soil, but those peasants.

Those peasants who were forced to live by natural and man-made disasters and land annexation!

What Chen Yan wants to do is to tie up thousands of peasants in the world to his chariot, as for the lack of talents to govern one side.

Chen Yan is really not worried, he has already copied the textbooks of his later studies in school, from elementary school to university.

Chen Yan still doesn't believe it, he can't play without those moths?!

The talents cultivated by the compulsory education textbooks of later generations are definitely no worse than the Four Books and Five Classics!

Well, that's right, in this era when everyone regards the Four Books and the Five Classics as artifacts, Chen Yan is already disgusted with it......

……

"Governor, we made the spring steel you mentioned."

Guo Jiangtou came to Chen Yan with a happy face, and Chen Yan was also surprised by the sudden surprise.

"Really? What about the quality? ”

Chen Yan asked, when he told Guo Jiangtou about their concept of spring steel, he only said that it was an alloy.

As for the exact formula, Chen Yan is not clear!

After all, have you ever seen that encyclopedia on how to make spring steel?

Chen Yan could only tell them a concept, and let Guo Jiangtou and them slowly explore.

"No problem, it should be no problem to make the firing device that the Metropolitan Governor said."

"By the way, are there any signs of artillery?"

Chen Yan looked at Guo Gongtou and asked.

"The bronze cast artillery has been made, and the iron film casting running method you mentioned is also being tested, but the iron cast artillery still has no eyebrows, mainly because the steel quality is not up to par."

Guo Craftsman said.

Chen Yan bowed slightly, but he felt a little painful.

Bronze artillery, that is a large piece of copper lumps, and copper is money, and the main currency of this year is copper coins.

I have to say that Chen Yan's bronze casting cannon can be called a failure!
