In this era, Confucianism was popular all over the world, and those in power believed that "the people can make it impossible to know it", so the establishment of a "library" was a great rebellion in the Great Song Dynasty, and those corrupt Confucian officials would never allow such a thing to happen. 、// It's a pity that in Goryeo, everything is decided by Wu Dong. Although Li Gang is also a Confucian scholar, he has stayed in Liangshan for many years and has been influenced by Wu Dong's political thoughts, so he has a favorable attitude towards right and wrong.

In fact, he is very familiar with Wu Dong's political thoughts, one is "militarism" and the other is "democracy", and the two go hand in hand. And to be "democratic", it is a sure thing to open up the wisdom of the people. The establishment of libraries and allowing all people to read is a shortcut to enlighten the people.

"If there is a library, it is not enough for the people to be illiterate. I am ready to set up a literacy class in Incheon City and allow people to go in and study. In the vicinity of Seoul, literacy classes can also be set up to teach the people the written language. In the future, if possible, it will be extended to the whole of Goryeo. Wu Dong said.

"Spread to the whole of Goryeo? Do those Koreans also have to be fully literate? Li Gang said in surprise.

"Not bad!" Wu Dong nodded.

"But...... If all the Koreans were literate, they might oppose us in the future, right? Li Gang said.

In Li Gang's view, it is feasible to open up the people's wisdom, but there is no need for the Korean people, and now the brainwashing education of the Korean people is very good. On the contrary, after opening up the wisdom of the people to the Goryeo people, it may make the Goryeo people understand the fact that they are ruled, and at that time, these Goryeo people may rise up against the rule of Yangsan again.

"No, it won't! As long as we have a firm grasp of the content of the books, over time, they will slowly be assimilated by our Han people and become a part of the Han people. In the future, we will implement the same policy as the Han people for the Korean people, so that they can truly return to their hearts. Wu Dong said.

The reason why the previous practice of "fighting local tyrants and dividing the land" and implementing the kind of brainwashing education similar to pyramid schemes was mainly to extinguish the Korean people's sense of resistance so that they could rule this place faster. However, such a rule has obtained a group of "foolish people", which is not conducive to the future development of Liangshan.

Only by attaching equal importance to the wisdom of the people, democracy, and militarism is the way he wants to rule.

Standing on the top of a city wall that has been built in Seoul, looking at the land in the distance, Wu Dong felt a little emotion in his heart, he didn't know what kind of future such a political road would be in the future, but he believed that it would be better than now, at least it would never let China fall into the hands of foreigners, nor would it let China decline more and more under the influence of corrupt Confucian thoughts.

Late that night, Wu Dong, Li Shishi and others stayed in the village near Seoul, and the people welcomed Wu Dong's arrival unusually well, and the whole village came to visit Wu Dong, and it was not until late at night that it was quiet.

The next day, Wu Dong did not return to Incheon City, but traveled all the way west and south to inspect the situation in rural Goryeo.

After the agrarian revolution in Goryeo, everyone had land, and this year their enthusiasm for work was particularly high, and the harvest was particularly good! It is very similar to the Han villages around Incheon City, except that every night they have to carry out the education of "remembering the bitter and sweet", thanks to the great kindness of Yangsan and Wu Dong.

In the countryside of Goryeo, there are portraits of the "great leader" Wu Dong everywhere, and people can often be seen kneeling there, which is also a unique scene in the Goryeo countryside.

Today, Yangsan's notice in Goryeo has been completely stabilized, and the ordinary people of Goryeo live and work in peace and contentment, and will no longer oppose Yangsan. There were still some rebels in Goryeo, but those rebels were not in the limelight, and even ordinary Goryeo people did not approve of the actions of these rebels.

******

After inspecting for a few days, Wu Dong felt that everything in Goryeo was in order and very prosperous, and Wu Dong was very relieved.

In fact, Li Gang is mainly responsible for the civil affairs of Goryeo, and Wu Dong now appreciates Li Gang's ability very much.

"Li Gang is the prime minister's talent! Let him govern a mere Goryeo, which is a bit overkill. Wu Dong said secretly.

But this is also something that can't be helped, Liangshan doesn't have a bigger territory now. As for Hedong and Liangshanshuibo, they are too far away from Goryeo, and there are various forces in between, such as the Great Song Dynasty, Khitan, and NV Zhen, and it is difficult to manage the three places in a unified manner with the current communication conditions.

"I don't know what the situation is in Hedong and Liangshanbo?" Wu Dong said secretly.

The information on both sides is naturally constantly sent to Goryeo, but those information only describe some general situations, and if you want to understand the situation in detail about the situation in those two places, you need to go there in person and investigate in person, but unfortunately Wu Dong does not have such time at all now.

"Husband, do you still want to go to the quartermaster camp?" When he was halfway to Incheon City, Master Li suddenly asked.

"Of course I want to go! The quartermaster battalion is now developing artillery, and it is not known what the status of development is. Wu Dong said.

"Artillery? Is that the super weapon you said can kill thousands of people with one shot? Master Li asked curiously.

"Hmmm! I thought it would be very difficult to develop an artillery, but it wasn't as difficult as I thought! Ling Zhen is in charge of this matter, I believe there is a result. Wu Dong said.

That Ling Zhen is also a member of the Water Margin, known as "Thunder". He was originally a fire expert in the imperial court, and when he came to Goryeo at the beginning of this year, Wu Dong gave him the task of developing artillery. When Wu Dong came back from Dongying some time ago, Ling Zhen said that the artillery was about to be developed, and now that many days have passed, there should be some results.

The crowd went towards the quartermaster camp, which was nominally a "battalion" but was in fact very large. The entire quartermaster battalion, the number of craftsmen reached 30,000! Except for a small number of them from the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, the rest were hired from all over the Great Song Dynasty, and there were also some craftsmen from Goryeo and Dongying here. Of course, the current technology of Goryeo and Dongying is very backward, far inferior to that of the Great Song Dynasty, and their craftsman level is also quite limited. However, the craftsmen of Goryeo and Dongying have some special skills, the Goryeo people are good at shipbuilding, and the Dongying people are good at making knives, which are temporarily incomparable to the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty.

There were countless houses in the quartermaster camp, and there were constantly various clanging sounds, and it was obvious that those craftsmen were at work.

"Now the quartermaster battalion is able to produce 5,000 bows and crossbows a month, and if it is accelerated, it can even produce 7,000 bows." Master Li said.

She had been in charge of the quartermaster camp before, so she knew a lot about the situation in the quartermaster camp. Nearly half of the 30,000 craftsmen in the quartermaster camp are responsible for the production of bows and crossbows, which have now become one of the main weapons of Yangsan. 5,000 a month, fifty or sixty thousand bows and crossbows a year, is enough to meet Liangshan's needs.

"Quantity is important, but so is the improvement of technology! Teacher, we need to increase the rewards. Wu Dong said suddenly.

"More rewards? This...... Husband, the reward is already very high now! In terms of bows and crossbows, as long as someone can propose a little improvement, it is 50 taels of silver, isn't that enough? Master Li said in surprise.

50 taels of silver, enough for ordinary families to eat and drink for several years, Wu Dong even has to increase, no wonder Master Li was surprised.

"Not enough, far from enough, it needs to be improved! After I go back, I will discuss the reward system with you, and then we will implement it immediately! We must encourage those craftsmen who can innovate and invent, and let those craftsmen understand that as long as you can make improvements or improvements in a certain technology, or discover some principles that others can't discover, then you can get wealth that ordinary people can't get in a lifetime. Wu Dong said.

"Okay." Master Li nodded, but he still didn't agree with Wu Dong's statement.

The status of craftsmen in the Great Song Dynasty was extremely low, even in the imperial court, the status of craftsmen was not high, their income was very low, and they could not even support their families. Now the quartermaster battalion in Liangshan has taken great care of the craftsmen, and the living standards of the craftsmen have surpassed ordinary people. So continue to increase the reward, Li Shishi found it difficult to accept. Of course, as an NV, she has been instilled with "three from five virtues" since she was a child, and she will not argue with Wu Dong at will. Since Wu Dong thinks it's good, then she agrees with it.

When he came to the southernmost row of houses in the quartermaster camp, Wu Dong entered the largest of them, and finally saw Ling Zhen here.

Ling Zhen was concentrating on the fire there, when Wu Dong suddenly came to him and said, "Ling Zhen, how is the artillery developed?" ”

"Huh? Governor, why are you here? See the Grand Duke! Ling Zhen hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Hurry up!" Wu Dong said with a smile.

"Governor, we have already made the barrel of the cannon, and I wanted to go to Incheon Castle to invite you to watch the fire, but I was told that you had gone to another place. Now that you're here, we're going to send shè artillery today. Ling Zhen said.

"Is it okay today?" Wu Dong was overjoyed.

"Naturally! The main thing is the barrel production, as long as the barrel is done, the rest is not a problem! Ling Zhen said with a smile.

Everyone followed Ling Zhen forward, and when they came to the courtyard behind, they found that there was a huge cannon barrel here, which was exactly the same as the "cultural relics" artillery that Wu Dong had seen in later generations!

The huge barrel, at least five meters over, was all made of brass and draped in a red cloth, and it looked imposing.

"Governor, in order to make this cannon barrel, more than 2,000 catties of brass were spent, and this thing is extremely precious." Ling Zhen stroked the cannon barrel with his hand.

"Good stuff!" Wu Dong was also stroking the barrel of the cannon with his hand, and his heart was unusually moving.

"Governor, do you want to test the cannon now?" Ling Zhen said.

"Wait a minute." Wu Dong Road.
