Under these circumstances, orthodox Confucianism, which had been neglected in the Tang Dynasty, has now encountered challenges from all sides, and its authority has further declined, and the doctrines of Guanzi, Xunzi, Liezi, Han Feizi, Sun Tzu and even Guiguzi have risen one after another.

In order to appease the bottom, he let Huguo Temple open the "Qizhi Fang" to help ordinary people become literate; But he also supported Xingyuan's Taoist temple and allowed Taoist priests to study Lao Zhuangzhi's teachings, because the Tang emperor's surname was Li after all.

Then it is to use the Taofen School Palace to cultivate orthodox and new-style officials, what is new-style? Take the arithmetic in the school palace as an example, not only use the ten classics of "Zhou Ji", "Nine Chapters", "Island", "Wu Cao", "Sun Tzu", "Xiahou Yang", "Zhang Qiujian", "Five Classics", "Fixation" and "Ji Gu" as teaching materials, but also deliberately edit the parts closely related to life into a simplified version, and then cooperate with bead arithmetic to popularize it among the people and help the development of Xingyuan industry and commerce.

Gao Yue also has an idea, that is, after the opportunity to completely open up the Western Regions in the future, he will not only trade wealth from the west, but also import and translate some mathematical works from the west to fill in his own weaknesses and deficiencies. Because he understands that most of the mathematics in his country still stays at the practical level of "calculation", which is far from enough to promote the prosperity of science.

Knowledge needs to be practical, but it also needs to rise to the level of a philosophy.

The same is true of ideology and culture, Gao Yue knows that a short period of chaos and brilliance is necessary, but sooner or later it will be reunified with the unification of the political map, and the key is how to seize this period that can be corrected and prevent it from entering a dead end in the future.

Then, Gao Yue visited the Martial Arts Palace, and the students inside were more like soldiers, they lined up in formation on the school ground, first learned simple flag language, and the command of the team.

There are two sources for this group of students, one is that they were transferred from the Dingwu and Yining armies for training, and the other is that they came in from the people to learn. In addition to understanding the language of the flag and the command of the basic troops, they also had to learn artillery guns, vehicles, horsemanship, veterinarians, etc., and of course, arithmetic and the art of war, that is, the so-called infantry, cavalry, and artillery.

And the martial arts palace run by the imperial court and other Fang towns has not yet jumped out of the old consciousness for the time being, and is still taking the school archery, weight-bearing and old military books, etc., so Xingyuan's martial arts palace is still the most cutting-edge in the world.

But what gave Gao Yue a headache was the lack of teaching materials, so he also passed down the text, searched for books, and even a Taoist priest named Wang Zhen in Zhongliang Mountain in Xingyuan Mansion, claiming to have experienced the mystical art of war in the Tao Te Ching, and wrote a book "Tao Te Ching on the Essentials of Soldiers" dedicated to Ji Gong, but Gao Yue flipped through it and found that he couldn't understand it, but he still rewarded Wang Zhen with 30 pieces of Shu brocade to encourage.

It seems that only professionals in the army can be organized, and the teaching materials will be compiled in a unified manner at once.

Ten days later, Gao Yue finally dealt with all the matters of Xingyuan, marched to Chang'an City, held the reins at the mouth, and said angrily and funny to the frosted Biluo in the bamboo cage carried by the mule next to him, From here, I will take you to the Tang Jingshi, are you not happy?

The frosted Bi Luo purred twice, rolled his eyes twice, and turned his back angrily, obviously still holding a grudge.

The point is that during this time, you have been so presumptuous for more than one night

Soon, when Gao Yue came to the guest province of Daming Palace, the two envoys of Xifan, Wei. Zano and Niang. Xia Mi was still there, constantly negotiating with the Tang family.

But the pity is that the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty all knew that Xifan was completely bluffing at this time.

Some of the Muni Zampu, in fact, including Chisong Dezan, later sent Tang envoys to tell Wei Heniang, which means that the situation is not optimistic now, and some of the things we can let out, Mudi Zampu in Liangzhou have all been given to the Tang family, and we have nothing valuable to back down, and the road is blocked, so why don't you be tough and see how the Tang family reacts.

In this regard, Jia Tan, Lu Zhen and Du Huangsheng's suggestions are quite different.

For the time being, the emperor could only wait for Gao Yue and Wei Gao to enter the capital, listen to the opinions of these two, and make a final decision.

For example, in the Zichen Palace, after Gao Yue and Wei Gao saw the emperor, the plan proposed was basically the same:

You can strike with Muni Zampu;

The two sides demarcated the boundary, with Pingrong to Gansongling as the boundary in Jiannan, and Victorian Sanssouci City must be occupied by the Tang family, which can ensure that tens of thousands of city soldiers below the reckless heat can safely return to the Tibetan boundary;

In Hehuang, it is natural to take Chiling as the boundary, and in addition, the Western Tibetan forces must all withdraw from Anxi, Beiting, Hexi, and Longyou;

Mu Ni has since been "Luo Some Zanpu", and Mu Di has since been "Liangzhou Zanpu", and they must be canonized by the Tang family, the former is "big nephew" and the latter is "little nephew";

In the end, Xifan was asked to give the Tang family "New Year's coins" every year to maintain peace.

As a result, as soon as the emperor heard the "New Year's coin", his eyes couldn't help but glow, and he even said Okay, this method is good, according to the opinion of the two Aiqing, how much is the appropriate amount of New Year's coin? In addition, should the New Year's coins be stored in the treasury, or should they be put into the Great Ying Qionglin as my envy?

Gao Yue smiled and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this so-called New Year's coin is just to let the Xifan send the Tang envoys to have a bargaining space, and if they are unwilling to pay the New Year's coins, they will argue. ”

"But the annual coin can at least have two or three hundred thousand yuan a year," the emperor was very distressed.

At this time, Wei Gao said: "Your Majesty, you can establish a mutual market, as long as there is a mutual market, don't say that every Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty thousand guan money, and one million guan money can also be obtained." ”

"I say it." When it comes to money, the emperor is full of energy.

Wei Gao suggested that if the war with Xibo was to strike, seven ports for trade and mutual markets would be opened, which seven? Qingxi Pass and Shimen Pass for Nanzhao, as well as Lingwu Road, Tiande Military City, and Zhenwu Military City for the Uighurs, as for Xifan, the "Rail Army" can be re-established in Victoria, where the mutual market of Jiannan (Wei Gao bluntly said that I Jiannan) and Xifan will be opened, and a mutual market will also be set up in Chiling Riyue Mountain at the junction of Hehuang and Qinghai. Needless to say, the Nanzhao and Uighurs mainly trafficked in tea, cotton cloth, cloth, paper, ink, etc., and then imported gold and silver, musk, sheep, horses, calves, and so on from the plateau.

In addition, now that Helong has been restored, the trade routes between the Western Regions and Chang'an have been opened again, and the garrisons in various places can be allowed to extract the taxes and money from the Hu merchants in addition to the income from the camps, so that the army can gain a firm foothold.

The Emperor agreed, and then he asked Gao Yue, Speaking of the military deployment of Helong, I want to hear what your plan is. In addition, the scale of the rebellion in Lingnan is very large, and both of them are also skilled in the use of force Yuan Rong, how to deal with this Du You's matter, I also have to consult in detail.
