In terms of national strength, although the strength of Wei has been greatly damaged and it has lost the qualification to compete for hegemony, its strength is still not to be underestimated, at least it is much stronger than a country like Shengguo, and it is still very beneficial for Cangguo to form an alliance with it.

However, it is now an ally of Nguyen Quoc or, in fact, the younger brother of Nguyen Quoc is more appropriate.

Before Wei did not take the initiative to get rid of its attachment to Ruan, Cangguo's alliance with it was tantamount to humiliating Ruan, and the friendship between the two countries that had been established with great difficulty might disappear.

If there is only a simple trade relationship left, what is the use of Cangguo?

For Nguyen and Cang Guk, it's a lose-lose situation.

Thinking of this, he picked up his pen and wrote on a piece of paper next to it: Listed as a friend, military treatment from allies.

After writing this sentence, he nodded in satisfaction.

In other words, the diplomatic relations with Wei were set at the third level, that is, the level of "friendship", which was one level lower than that of Ruan, but in terms of military affairs, such as the trade of weapons and equipment, the treatment was the same as that of Ruan.

The rest of the businessman's status and policy support, etc., but this cannot be given, which will cause dissatisfaction of Ruan Guo, and will destroy the rules of diplomatic relations originally formulated by Cangguo, which seems to be beneficial in the short term, but in the long run, all kinds of harm will be beneficial to nothing.

He only needs to give instructions on these, which will naturally be handled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then handed over to various departments for implementation.

After dealing with the problems of Ruan and Wei, he turned his attention to the credentials of Chu, this behemoth in the south, has had very few exchanges with Cangguo in recent years, and it can be said that there are basically no other official exchanges except for private trade.

One, two, three......

Flipping through one by one, Yang Mu's face became more and more weird and dignified.

This time, what Chu wants is not trade, nor diplomatic relations, but - talents!

As we all know, Cangguo has popularized civilian education, every township has a school, every county has a county school, the county town has a county school, and the imperial city has even set up a Taixue to allow officials and generals to further their studies.

It can be said that it is the country that attaches the most importance to human resources among all countries.

Prior to this, although there were also emperors of countries who were thirsty for talents, they were all searching in the vast sea of people, seeking existing talents, which required a certain amount of opportunity and influence of their own country, and this kind of talent seeking seemed more like a slogan.

But Cangguo is different, it has opened a precedent for civilian education, and has taken the initiative to cultivate talents, and does not seek to cultivate a group of top talents at once, focusing on steady progress, and there are people from all walks of life.

From a village school that can only read and write, to a township school that can write some articles and be a small official, to a county school where you can learn the way to govern the country, and then to a county school that can learn simple mathematics, physics, and chemistry......

In short, Cangguo's thriving national strength now not only relies on commerce and trade, but also a more efficient government, there are too many talents, and it is difficult for the country not to be strong.

In the national letter of the State of Chu, this is what is requested, and it is hoped that the State of Cang can impart some experience, and it is best to send a group of teaching gentlemen to the State of Chu to help establish a group of schools.

Don't ask for money, don't ask for equipment, but ask for talents.

This made Yang Mu feel weird, and he couldn't help but be vigilant.

Because at present, among the countries that have dealings with Cangguo, no matter which country they are, they have not wanted to engage in time-consuming and expensive education, nor have they thought of introducing the school system of Cangguo, including Empress Ruan, although they know the importance of talents, but the method of implementation is to dig up the corners of the wall and poach the talents cultivated by Cangguo.

Among them, although there are reasons for the conservative forces in the country, such as the obstruction and panic of the old aristocracy, such as financial allocation, etc., in general, it has not risen to a level comparable to the military.

In this way, Yang Mu was not nervous.

Ruan Guo can dig again, how much can she dig in the past?

Just like the future generations, with independent intellectual property rights and without independent intellectual property rights, can this be the same?

It's like buying weapons and equipment, what you buy is bought after all, and the lifeblood is still in the hands of others.

But the state of Chu is different.

According to Yang Mu's understanding, the bureaucrats and old aristocrats of the country of Chu are even more serious than the Ruan State, don't look at the State of Chu that has swallowed up many countries over the years, but a large part of the results of the war have been divided by the domestic nobles, it is no exaggeration to say that many families in the State of Chu have reached the point of being rich and rivaling the country, and the family private soldiers in the feudal province can completely compete with some small countries.

In such a country with such a serious bureaucratic style, should it be said that it does not know what to do, or is it ambitious?

Isn't the emperor of Chu afraid of angering the nobles below and forcing them to pull the flag and rebel?

For example, in the Sui and Tang dynasties of Chinese history, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had exhausted his national strength by repairing the Grand Canal and three expeditions to Goguryeo, making a huge empire in turmoil.

The result?

Before the common people could revolt, the family gate lords couldn't wait to resist the tyrannical Sui, and overthrew the once powerful Great Sui Empire and established the Tang Dynasty in one year.

After that, Tang Taizong learned a lesson, in order to suppress the family gate valve, step by step to improve the imperial examination system, even if it is a generation of holy masters, he never dared to force the gate valve to rush in his life, to the hands of his son, and then to Wu Zhou, after a hundred years, the gate valve was completely pressed to the ground.

Cangguo, if it weren't for the fact that Yang Mu had not long been on the throne, taking advantage of the general trend of winning two wars in succession, he would have sacrificed the butcher's knife to the end of the family's gate valve, and it would be an empty word to launch the academy system, at least it would be impossible to achieve such brilliant achievements in less than five years.

Now, the emperor of Chu wants to introduce the school system, which in Yang Muye's opinion, is either death, or the emperor of Chu has a way to deal with it.

"Someone, summon the envoy of Chu to come over, I want to ask him." Yang Mu then said.

"Your Majesty, the queen sent Lu'er to invite Your Majesty to a banquet before, and you should still accept it." Shen An lowered his head and reminded softly on the side.

"Oh......" Yang Mu pondered, there was such a thing, so he said: "Send someone to Yuling Palace to ask, if there is nothing important, just say that I will go later." ”

"Yes, the minion obeys."

Yang Mu continued to look down at the letter of state, and still asked people to call the envoys of the Chu State, in fact, he asked people to go to Yuling Palace to take a look, and he didn't think that there would be anything important at all.

What can be done in a country's harem?

You must know that in the harem of Cangguo, because he clearly favors the queen and respects each other, the queen's authority in the harem has always been very high, and there is almost no malicious competition for favor, even if Concubine Nuo gives birth to a prince, she does not dare to challenge the queen's authority.

He asked people to ask, just to show respect for the queen, and this is how husband and wife should get along.
