For the Mandate of Heaven Army, the two directions in the southeast have their own advantages and disadvantages, Li Zicheng considered at that time, if the east entered Guanzhong, now the entire northern Shaanxi is full of thieves, it is not easy to exterminate the thieves, and it is even more difficult to place the thieves and a large number of people who are coerced by them.

If you take a sneak attack in the south, it is not much difficult to calculate militarily, and it can also prevent Zhang Xianzhong and others from introducing the disaster into Bashu and keep Bashu clean.

But the Shu road is difficult, with the current situation, the passage of the army is extremely inconvenient, once Longyou and Bashu are tight, it is difficult for the reinforcements to reach in time.

Unless Longyou and Bashu can maintain a strong army.

Li Zicheng had already sent Wu Ermao's Shadowless Sect into Chengdu, but he was actually inclined to take Bashu first.

But Guo Shijun's words also made sense, Li Zicheng hesitated, unable to make a decision for a while, and simply stayed on the side for the time being.

"Fourth, education."

Li Zicheng opened two schools in Xining, one is the Xining Science and Technology Higher School, which focuses on cultivating high-tech talents and teachers of higher education, and the other is the Xining Girls' School, which recruits all female students, uses the teaching materials of later generations, imparts the most cutting-edge knowledge, and even the text is the simplified Chinese characters of later generations, and they have signed a contract with the original Xining Wei, and once they graduate, they will be used as teachers in basic education.

Although the number of teachers is small, if it persists in the long run, the number of teachers will increase by an order of magnitude, and the number of talents will be reserved for universal education in the future.

Basic education and higher education are the two legs of education, and one is indispensable.

When Li Zicheng told Guo Shijun about the current situation of education in Xining, Guo Shijun was opposed, "Most of the governors attach great importance to education, and their subordinates are very relieved, but now the Mandate of Heaven Army, the main property still has to be spent on the expansion of the army, Gansu, Xining, and Longyou are all extremely poor, and it is not easy to feed the army," probably feeling that Li Zicheng's enthusiasm and long-term plan were hurt, and he said euphemistically: "Of course, in order to popularize education in the future, a small number of schools can be established now, but free and compulsory education cannot be implemented for the time being." ”

Li Zicheng naturally knew the importance of expanding the army, and after the grain production in Longyou reached a stable level, he was ready to start a new round of army expansion, but education is a long-term plan, and if he did not make sufficient preparations, he would need to build schools on a large scale in the future, and there would definitely not be enough teachers, so he must prepare manpower as soon as possible.

According to his original plan, after the students of Xining Girls' School graduated, he would first set up a primary school in Xining that could accommodate about 100 people, and then promote the primary school to various counties and towns when there were enough teachers.

Li Zicheng nodded at Guo Shijun, "Shijun is right, before the final victory over the Ming army, the pace of education really can't go too fast, and the money can't afford it!" ”

Guo Shijun's opinion was adopted, and he would be happy in his heart, he was born as a teacher, and if he participated in education, it should be the most appropriate, but in his heart, he already had different ideas.

"The Metropolitan Governor is as good as a stream, admire and admire!"

Li Zicheng laughed and continued: "My plan, and the last one, Shijun should be able to come up with, is to develop industry and commerce, however, the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Army, commerce is not developed, industry is completely blank, and the people are relatively poor, even food and clothing have just been solved, and there is a lack of purchasing power at all, what good advice does Shijun have?" ”

Guo Shijun thought of another question, "The Grand Governor, the army of the Mandate of Heaven and the army of the imperial court are in a state of war, and the business road is still smooth?" ”

"I have reached a secret agreement with Hong Chengchou, and the two sides will not be enemies for the time being, so Shangdao will not be affected for the time being," Li Zicheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, it is far from enough to have Shangdao, "It's just that the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Army has extremely limited output, and it is impossible to make high profits." ”

Guo Shijun frowned at first, thinking hard, and then his eyes lit up, and his pupils suddenly dilated, "How did the Metropolitan Governor get out the cement and glass?" Such things are not your academic expertise, and they will never remain in your memory. ”

Li Zicheng knew that he couldn't hide it, so he smiled and told Guo Shijun about the knowledge he had traveled with the knowledge of the later generations.

Guo Shijun was also embarrassed, it turned out that people's hunches were so wonderful, "I didn't understand it at the time, I really blamed you, but with this knowledge, you can naturally produce all kinds of luxury goods, sell them in Beijing, Jiangnan and other rich areas, and the gains must be a lot of money, and complete the original accumulation." ”

Li Zicheng was also depressed, he knew that his premonition was so accurate, and he should have thought about it in the long term at that time and engaged in more things, "But most of the records I have are strategic knowledge, except for perfume, there are few luxury goods!" ”

Guo Shijun shook his head and smirked, no wonder when he came to this world, he only had the share of the poor, and he had no practical knowledge in his brain, "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to tap the original potential, expand the production scale of perfume and glass, and in addition, you can set up a trading house, sell it yourself, and earn monopoly profits." ”

Li Zicheng believes that what Guo Shijun said is just a direction of effort, the market is so big, if the wanton expansion of production causes saturation of goods, the price and profit of a single piece will fall, and in the end it may be a waste of work.

It is not of much significance to set up a commercial bank, and it may be more profitable to sell goods on your own, but traveling long distances will increase costs and risks.

Comptoirs can be formed, but not at this time.

Neither of them could think of a good way, so they had to look at each other, shaking their heads and sighing, they both understood in their hearts that now the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Army is the border land of the Ming Dynasty, which was originally the most backward place, and the people are all taking food and clothing as the highest goal, forcibly bringing them into the commercial society, it takes time and money, and it will be impossible to achieve it for a while, or Li Zicheng is too anxious.

However, Li Zicheng does not want to go his own way, his main idea is to let industry and commerce enter the vision and life of ordinary people, cultivate the people's business awareness, that is, brainwash the people, in addition, is to use industry and commerce to desperately save money to ensure the smooth expansion of the Mandate of Heaven Army.

Li Zicheng knew that Guo Shijun's body had just recovered, and it was estimated that it was not suitable to sit for a long time, and he was about to serve tea to send off guests, but Guo Shijun was anxious: "Governor, I don't know something!" ”

"I'll treat each other as Akagi, if Sejun has anything to say, just say it!" In front of Guo Shijun, Li Zicheng really has nothing to hide, he is a teacher and a student in the next life, and he is the only "confidant" in this life.

"Why did the Metropolitan Governor spare no effort to promote Catholicism in the territories of the Mandate of Heaven? Is it just to entrap John Tang? ”

"It's true to entrap John Tang, but it's not the main reason," Li Zicheng said in his heart, and decided to promote Catholicism in Xining that day, mainly for the purpose of naturalizing foreign races, so he said: "First, naturalize foreign races. At that time, Xining had many foreign races, and had its own Tusi, and the people did not obey discipline and did not pay taxes, like a country within a country, and promoted Catholicism in order to eliminate ethnic antagonism and establish a unified local government. ”

Guo Shijun lived in Lintao Mansion for three or four years, and was naturally very familiar with the situation of ethnic groups living in the border areas...... He nodded, looked at Li Zicheng, and waited for the rest of the reasons.

Li Zicheng said: "Second, enhance national cohesion. The alien races in the border areas can reproduce and have their own religions, such as Tibetan Buddhism, the horror religion of the Hui people, the shamanism of the Mongolians, etc., because of the religion, the national centripetal force is very strong, hundreds of thousands of years of immortality, when the Salar people moved to the Yellow River, but dozens of people, not only did not annihilate in the torrent of the Han people, but also bred thousands of people, in addition to their own normal reproduction, there are also the results of using religion and marriage to lure the Han people to naturalize. ”

There used to be Salar people living in Lintao Province, but now ...... Guo Shijun looked at Li Zicheng with a deep gaze, "The Metropolitan Governor, the current Salar ......"

"There are no Salar people anymore, either they are dead or naturalized as Han Chinese," Li Zicheng thought about it for a while and felt that it was wrong, "Oh, in Xining, there are still dozens of Salar people who have become military slaves and grow food for the Mandate of Heaven Army, but the military slavery system is temporary, and they will definitely have a new belonging." ”

Guo Shijun secretly sneered, this policy of ethnic integration, if successful, can indeed permanently solve the national # contradictions in the country and establish a single-ethnic country, "Dadu Governor, when I was in Lintao, I heard about the naturalization policy of the Heavenly Mandate Army, Tibetans, Mongolians, these yellow people can still be regarded as Han, but the Hui people are all high-nosed and broad-eyed, and even retain blue eyes and red hair, how do you let them be classified as Han nationality?" ”

"This ......" Li Zicheng smiled and said, "Shijun knows the story of 'Yellow Emperor vs. Chiyou', right?" In the process of the fusion of Yan and Huang, some of the Yan Emperor's clansmen, because of the earlier defeat at Chiyou, were forced to move far away and became today's Mongolians, Tibetans, Turen, etc., while the descendants of Chiyou, in order to avoid the pursuit of the emperor's clansmen, migrated to the farther Western Regions, and developed into today's Hui people, Salar people, Dongchang people, etc.," He did not blush and his heart did not beat, and continued: "After five thousand years of development, now the descendants of the emperor, Emperor Yan, and Chiyou have completed the fusion, and their descendants scattered in the border areas should also go home. ”

Guo Shijun, who was drinking water, suddenly sprayed the tea in his mouth on Li Zicheng's face, he has never looked for a glorious ancestor for his own nation, and he has never heard of anyone who forced a glorious ancestor for a certain nation, this Li Zicheng ...... However, this seems to be the best way to quickly naturalize the alien race, since it belongs to the same ancestor, then now naturalized as a Han Chinese, as Li Zicheng said, is just to go home, to return to the big family of the nation.

Regardless of whether this simple method of dividing nationalities is scientific or not, all the two sides want is a reason, and as long as the heart is closed, it is easy to say anything.

Li Zicheng took a face towel, wiped the tea off his face, and knew that his "theory" was too rebellious, but he was not angry, but said with a smile: "There is another reason, that is, the horror religion, the Western Regions and other frontiers, have been eroded by the terrorist religion, and the future generations are even more terrorists, if there is no strong religion, it will be difficult to naturalize them, so I fell in love with moderate Catholicism." ”

How can Guo Shijun, who taught history in later generations, not understand this meaning? He was originally Li Zicheng's teacher, but when he came to Daming, it seems that he is not qualified to be Li Zicheng's student, and he has also lived in Daming for several years, Li Zicheng can have a clear plan, and he is still worried about a full meal, if he didn't meet Li Zicheng at the foot of Gaolan Mountain......

Guo Shijun got up suddenly, bowed for a long time, and said: "Listening to the words of the Metropolitan Governor, it is better to read ten years, no, it is better to read a hundred years of books, admire and admire!" ”

"Sejun, you...... Sit down! ”

After Guo Shijun sat down, he arched his hand again: "I am a teacher, and I wanted to assist the Metropolitan Governor in setting up education in the afternoon and enjoy a peaceful life, but now, ...... Seeing the magnificent world described by the Grand Duke, I felt as if I had suddenly become dozens of years younger! ”

Li Zicheng looked at Guo Shijun's face, he was indeed dozens of years younger, except for the occasional deep light in his eyes, his actual age was probably younger than himself, and said with a smile: "What does Shijun think now?" ”

"If the Metropolitan Governor allows it, I want to go to Longyou to inspect the people's livelihood and political structure, find an effective system for the future local government of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and at the same time, also find a few honest, dedicated, and enthusiastic local councilors for the Metropolitan Governor, and can't let the local council become a hotbed for personal gain."
