Chapter 558: Tear Down and Start Again
Even if he brought all the necessary materials and tools from modern time and space, regardless of the cost, the tens of thousands of kilometers of railways would have to be built until the Year of the Monkey. And that's not even to mention the series of troubles that followed.
After much deliberation and weighing the pros and cons. Gao Yang eventually chose to abandon the plan to build a railway line. Although this plan is decisive for this era, it is useless to say anything if it cannot be done.
"The plan is going to be over." Gao Yang, who was dressed in casual clothes, reclined on a rattan rocking chair in the middle of the courtyard in the back garden of King Yan's Mansion, and said softly with his eyes closed.
"I have a suggestion." Origin said aloud.
"Huh?" Gao Yang took a sip of amber whiskey from the table next to him, and snorted softly.
"You've probably read the history books. Wouldn't you just learn from that Temujin and send more children out and send them to be kings in various places? And you can leave the biochemical warriors as support, leaving the whole tech tree to take your time from generation to generation. Anyway, the Western world in this time and space is completely ignorant at the moment. As long as your descendants are not stupid enough, then you can perfectly open up a living space without building a railway. Yuan said all his thoughts in one breath.
"......" Gao Yang's hand holding the wine glass was trembling slightly, and his eyebrows were about to stand upside down. Gritted his teeth, and said hatefully, "Feelings, do you treat me as a middle horse?" Do you know how many children Temujin had? You want me to spend the next few years in bed, right? ”
"Hush." Yuan Dian said angrily, "Don't say you don't like it." I went to eat with the two sisters all day long, didn't I just think about ......"
"Stop, stop!" Gao Yang hurriedly interrupted the original point. He sat up, put his glass aside, lowered his head, and sighed. He said helplessly, "I wanted to ask you about your follow-up plan, but I didn't let me give such an outrageous long-term plan." Today when I didn't say anything, ok? ”
"Whatever, no matter what, in the end, you have to have an explanation for this era." Origin said.
Gao Yang shook his head slightly and stood up. Close your eyes and look up your head to feel the rare warm sunshine of autumn. Shaking his head, he was ready to go to dinner.
Footsteps rang out. Dressed in a splendid dress, Emperor Jofu went to the garden, accompanied by many maids.
"Lord Wang." In Gao Yang's eyes, the young Roufu Emperor Shi Shiran bowed to Gao Yang, and said in a crisp voice, "The dinner is ready, please have a meal." ”
"Oh." Gao Yang responded. With his hands behind his back, he walked out of the courtyard with figure-eight steps. He is used to this kind of life, and in this time and space, he is the powerful Yan King!
During this time, the competition between Emperor Roufu and Yelu Yu Liyan can be said to have entered a white heat. The two princesses don't like each other and start competing in all aspects. The most important target is, of course, Gaoyang.
On the bright side, it is the Roufu Emperor who has the advantage. Bianliang City is her hometown after all. But in fact, it was Yelu Yu Liyan who kept pressing her. The reason is simple. Gao Yang is facing her. After all, it is a relationship that has come all the way from Yandi. This is not something that can be compared to the Roufu Emperor, who has never even met before.
With a slightly blushing mouth and a hint of dissatisfaction on her fair face, Emperor Roufu followed Gao Yang forward.
As a little princess who has been pampered since childhood, when did Emperor Roufu fall behind? With a lively personality, she kept this matter firmly in mind after she was crushed by Yelu Yu Liyan on her wedding night.
Although she was very happy to see her sister, who was rumored to have died, her husband did not accompany her on the wedding night, but went into another woman's room. In this era, she is already an adult, and Emperor Roufu, who is still married, can't swallow this breath.
From the next day, there was a battle between the two princesses. Most of the people in this Yan Wang's Mansion are Yelu Yu Liyan's people. The only people that Emperor Roufu can use are the people she brought out of the palace. The newcomers have fallen behind.
Yelu Yu Liyan has been with Gao Yang for so long. Gao Yang's temperament and temperament, he likes to eat something very clearly. As long as Gao Yang is in the house. That's every day to prepare everything to serve Gao Yang.
And the Roufu Emperor is not good. Although he has received a comprehensive education seriously before leaving the palace. But none of those methods can be used on a powerful horse master like Gao Yang.
In addition, Emperor Roufu is not very old, and she has no life experience. is used to being pampered since childhood, and when facing Yelu Yu Liyan, it was a complete defeat.
Then came the time when the two sides became more and more quarrelsome, and even began to interfere in the daily operation of the palace. Gao Yang personally stepped in to stop all this, he didn't want to see the scene of Gong Dou in his home.
After both sides were appeased, Gao Yang would go to Emperor Roufu's place every other day to have a meal to cultivate his feelings, as long as he was in the mansion. After all, they are legal couples who have gone through the right process, and Gao Yang has no habit of sending women. Just eating, of course. I will still go to Yelu Yu Liyan to rest in the evening.
Emperor Roufu would bring her sister every time, and Gao Yang didn't understand what she was thinking. It's not easy to ask, so you can only treat it as if you haven't seen it.
There are beautiful scheming in the Yanwang Mansion, and the entire world outside Bianliang City has begun to get back on track.
The cold air howling from the north and the south makes the cold winter season begin to quietly descend. The weather is getting colder day by day, and the work of keeping out the cold has become the top priority at the moment.
In previous years, soldiers and turbans from all over the country were able to receive cloth, charcoal, food, and so on from the imperial court to survive the winter. But this year's successive military disasters** have almost collapsed the ruling system of the entire imperial court. Although there weren't many of them, there were better than none of them.
The original treatment is gone, and naturally there will be people who want to make trouble. If it is the Jurchens who have succeeded in ruling the world at this moment, then no one dares to jump out and jump. But now is still the era of imperial orthodoxy, so naturally someone is going to make trouble.
Gao Yang was very dissatisfied with the preferential treatment policy before the Song Dynasty. I take care of the people who read too much. It is very unfair to those sergeants who say that they also have it, but they can fall into their hands at most three layers after a layer of deduction.
Gao Yang himself thinks that a group of weak scholars who moan all day long without illness should be treated better than soldiers who shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting their families and defending the country? It's the other way around, right?
Gao Yang is not disrespectful of knowledge. On the contrary, he is highly educated, and he understands the power of knowledge. It's just that what is the use of knowledge for a country's exhibition? What is the use of those weak scholars who can't lift their hands and can't resist their shoulders to this country?
The six arts of the ancient gentleman have been passed down to the present, what else can readers do besides reading? In ancient times, those Confucians who could manage the army on the horse and the people on the horse could be compared with the poor scholars of this era?
Gao Yang has already decided to continue this military disaster** and overturn all the rotten things!
Education has always been recognized by all as the foundation of a nation, and knowledge is everything. Gao Yang didn't want those readers to starve to death, he gave a way to live. Basic schools are set up in various prefectures, counties, and even villages. Local readers are responsible for teaching and educating people. Of course, it is not to teach the Four Books and the Five Classics, but to simply understand the characters and understand things.
All those who agree to join this line of study will continue to enjoy the same benefits, and even improve. This is very attractive to those who have a large base and have not succeeded in winning the promotion for many years.
Studying is as much a drain on productivity as learning martial arts. A person who is out of work needs at least three people to feed. In this era of low productivity, it is a very heavy burden for ordinary people.
Scholars have studied hard for ten years, or even twenty or thirty years, but how many can really walk over the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination? Most people have wasted their years and turned white.
Gao Yang gave them a new way out to teach children to read and write. When the children grow up, they can go to the professional schools in Fucheng to start learning all kinds of knowledge. Gao Yang will bring an entire tech tree from the modern plane, allowing those cyborg warriors to scatter all over the world to ignite the flame of hope.
Gao Yang never thought that things could be done overnight. This cycle of learning is extremely time-consuming, as does the accumulation of knowledge. Gao Yang estimated that if he wanted to see the initial results, he would probably have to wait until those biochemical warriors died of old age.
To return the sentence, there is hope only if you do it, and if you don't do it, there is nothing.
The imperial examinations will also continue. Although Gao Yang really wanted to cancel this useless thing, he didn't want to face the spit of the people who read all over the world at this time.
The abolition of the imperial examination is equivalent to cutting off other people's financial routes, which is an irresolvable life-and-death enmity. This kind of thing is better left to future generations to worry about. As long as the times continue to progress, there will eventually be a day when all unreasonable things will be forcibly eliminated.
The scholars of this era are very high-status. Moreover, since the past dynasties, the tentacles of the imperial court have extended to the county level at most. Further down is the world of the various clans. And the scholars in various places are the most important bridge between the imperial court and the clan.
While leaving a way out for old-fashioned readers, Gao Yang earnestly cares for the flame of hope for the future. He couldn't do everything alone, all he could do was light the fire. When the times reach a certain level, after all, the times themselves need to make improvements.
After arranging the affairs of the scholars, Gao Yang began to carry out a drastic large-scale reorganization of the army that claimed to be a million people all over the country, but had little effect on the actual war.
Compared with the scholars who were slowly restricting by gentle means, Gao Yang was much more ruthless when he reorganized the army. After all, the current army is very weak, and neither inside nor outside has the strength to resist Gao Yang. This is the best time to do it. (To be continued!)
