"Do you really want to make me the prime minister of the southern country?"
"I am a seven-rank official in the Great Song Dynasty......"
ββ¦β¦β
Su Yijian asked Yang Yansi in disbelief along the way, and Yang Yansi gave him a very positive answer, and stuffed the Nanguo Xiangyin cast in advance into Su Yijian's arms.
Su Yijian played with the Nanguo Xiangyin, pointed to the Yang text engraved on it, and asked suspiciously: "Why do you have four lines of text on it?" β
Yang explains: "The first line is simplified Chinese, the second line is Jiaozhi Chinese, the third line is slang, and the fourth line is bureaucratic Chinese. In the southern country, the current public situation is relatively complicated, and there are four ethnic groups. It is certainly not appropriate to use a single language. So for the time being, the four characters are used together.
The first thing you do when you take office is to promote education.
Take some old Confucian students from the Great Song Dynasty, I will appoint them all to you, you choose, and those who can be officials will be appointed to the local government. Those who cannot become officials are appointed to teach in local areas and promote Chinese simplified.
My idea is very simple, within three years, people all over the country must know Chinese characters and be familiar with the Chinese language. β
Su Yijian was stunned and said, "Implement education to the local area, everyone is literate?" Do you want to collect money in disguise? β
Yang Yansi was stunned and shook his head slowly, "What kind of wealth?" The basic education of Chinese characters is free of charge, and it doesn't cost a penny. Before you came, I had already established nearly 100 educational societies in the southern country.
All the materials in the society are provided by the state treasury.
Since the early education is mainly based on teaching Simplified Chinese, you must assign personnel well. More than 100 do education clubs, try to send as few old Confucian students as possible. The rest of the people were all sent to me throughout the country.
At present, the number of registered people in the southern country is less than 2 million.
It is not difficult to let 5,000 Confucian students teach 2 million people to read and write, right? β
Su Yijian muttered: "It's not difficult, but have you ever thought about how much money it costs to make two million people literate?" β
Yang Yansi waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about money, you only need to be responsible for spending money." β
By the way, these old Confucian students who were assigned to the school, in addition to basic education, were also responsible for the placement work. In the future, Han Chinese who were replaced from the sixteen states of Yanyun will arrive one after another, and the resettlement work will be a big problem. β
Su Yijian was puzzled: "According to what you said, the population of the southern country is only two million, and the southern country is also vast, and those Han people who came from the sixteen states of Yanyun have been suffering, and when they come here, they will give them food and drink, and return a large amount of land." What can be wrong with the placement work? β
Yang Yansi stopped, clicked his mouth, and sighed: "You don't know the truth about the southern country, the Han people who came from the sixteen states of Yanyun will not have any problems, the key is the problems of the women here."
There will be a large-scale robbery, you have to be prepared? β
"Robbing people?!"
Yang Yansi said quietly: "In order to replace the Han people in the sixteen states of Yanyun in Liaodi, I took all the men in the southern country and sent them to Liaodi for substitution......"
Hearing Yang Yansi's explanation, Su Yijian understood that he was willing to rob people at all.
He pointed at Yang Yansi, gritted his teeth and said, "You're too ruthless, aren't you?" β
Yang Yansi said indifferently: "As long as it's not my Han people who suffer, and it's not my southern people who suffer, I don't care." β
Yang Yansi chatted with Su Yijian about some other things, and entered Seoul in a leisurely manner.
As soon as he entered Seoul, Su Yijian was slightly stunned, "The ground in this city is all paved with bluestone?" β
Yang Yansi nodded and said indifferently: "I love cleanliness, so the roads in the city are paved with bluestone. Most of the houses have also been rebuilt......"
Su Yijian made a brief observation, the streets in Seoul were really clean and tidy, and the houses were located in a very orderly manner, and many of the houses seemed to be carved out of a pattern.
"Bianjing, a city where more than a million people live, don't dare to pave all the roads with bluestone, it's too extravagant for you to do this......"
What Su Yijian said is the truth, don't look at Tokyo Bianliang is the largest city in the world, but in Bianjing City, except for a few main roads paved with bluestone, most of the streets are flattened with loess, at most sprinkle some gravel.
"How much did you spend on this?"
Yang Yansi waved his hand and said, "It doesn't cost money, there is no shortage of stones in the southern country." There are a large number of men, adding up to nearly two million, and they have not yet been transported to Liaodi to be replaced, so I will use them. β
Su Yijian couldn't help but sigh, "You are so ruthless......"
Walking along the street, all the way, although there are many shops on both sides of the street, there are only two or three shops opened, and most of the rest are closed.
Yang Yansi pointed to these shops and said: "The business system in the south is still very simple, and after you take office, you need to attract investment as soon as possible to encourage business development." β
Su Yijian said in a deep voice: "Shinong Industry and Commerce, the most important thing is to establish an official organization and elect officials. The merchant is only at the end, and will be mentioned later. β
"!"
Yang Yansi rolled his eyes and said: "In our southern country, Shinong and industry are all treated equally, regardless of whether they are high or low. Merchants can drive the prosperity of a place, once the wharves in the south and the Great Song are completed, commerce will flourish, and a large number of merchants will pour into the south at that time.
The annual commercial tax can reach at least 30% of the agricultural tax. This is still a small amount, and I hope that when you leave office, the commercial tax will be three times that of the agricultural tax. β
"It can't be!"
Yang Yansi patted Su Yijian's shoulder, "There is nothing impossible about this, on the issue of commercial tax, let's discuss it slowly." β
Moving all the way, Su Yijian found that when the people on the road saw Yang Yansi, there was no avoidance or fear, and everyone was busy as usual.
Occasionally, I met a few people who knew Yang Yansi, and after coming up to greet him, Yang Yansi gave a few words of encouragement and left.
Seeing this, Su Yijian couldn't help but ask, "That's how you became the emperor?" β
"How else?" Yang Yansi raised his eyebrows and said: "Put yourself high, don't eat the fireworks of the world, like a fairy?" β
Su Yijian said in a deep voice: "The emperor should pay attention to his prestige......"
Yang Yansi shook his head and smiled: "What's the use of prestige?" If you really hold yourself high, are you really on top? There is a small courtyard in the imperial city, in which there is a former high-ranking one, I will take you to see it when I go back. β
Su Yijian sighed, "I really don't know what you're thinking in your head." As the king of a nation, you have supreme authority, and naturally you must match it with corresponding majesty. β
Yang Yansi said indifferently: "If you really do this, the country will not be able to sit for long, and sooner or later the country will die." β
Su Yijian sneered: "Do you think your country can sit down forever?" β
Yang Yansi said with a smile: "As long as my children and grandchildren don't die, this southern country can be passed on forever." β
