Chapter 307: Inner Minister Shangguan Wan'er

Many people in Wuqing County do not have access to land, so almost ninety percent of them need to work in factories and shops in Wuqing County to live. This is also the idea of Wuqing, so that the people no longer rely on the land, some people rely on the land to grow crops, and some people carry out business activities. In this way, even if someone encloses land, it has nothing to do with the development of the empire, and the empire keeps pace with the times and trades with all countries in the world in order to gradually become stronger.

Therefore, after Wuqing County was established as a county, commerce was very prosperous, there were special cattle and horse markets, four districts had vegetable and fruit markets, wharves were also built, tall warehouses stood by the river, boats came and went on the Luo River, furs and other things from the north, and vegetables from the south of the Yangtze River and so on.

Wuqing also supported some bold farmers to engage in breeding, for example, a family surnamed Niu wanted to breed ducks, Wuqing borrowed 1,000 guan for them, some raised chickens, Wuqing also borrowed 1,000 guan, some raised pigs, Wuqing lent them 2,000 guan and so on. In short, Wu Qing took this opportunity to compile the "Book of Making a Fortune", which was divided into breeding, management, business, technology and other techniques to get rich.

Anyway, Wuqing had thousands of copies of this book printed and distributed to the mayors of sixteen towns, asking him to organize the villagers to study.

Due to the lack of funds of the people, Wuqing opened the Wuqing County Bank, and as soon as the bank opened, it represented the simultaneous emergence of lending business and deposit business. The interest rate on loans of Wuqing County Bank is very low, which is one thousandth, that is, only one penny of interest is charged for 1,000 yuan. The interest rate on deposits is even lower at 1/5000, and 5,000 wen can only get one penny of interest.

In Datang, there are cash cabinets and mansion stores that specialize in saving money. It also charges a deposit fee, which is distributed in the major cities of Datang. It is convenient for merchants to withdraw money, and you can withdraw money at the branch of the cash drawer with the help of the flying ticket.

Wuqing County Bank opened. Isn't it a blessing for many businessmen to save money and have interest? However, this is limited to Wuqing County. Wu Qing didn't dare to open banks everywhere in the face of the world's condemnation. And he also believed that Empress Dowager Wu didn't have the courage to support him.

In any case, all kinds of Wuqing County show that this is a different county.

It should be mentioned here that after the pregnancy in October, the two Hu girls gave birth to two boys for Wu Qing, named Wu Chongzhong and Wu Chongyi. I hope that the two children will grow up to be loyal, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. Nowadays, there are more children. Wu Qing really can't remember so much, in short, it is just a glance at the name, and now the eldest child Wu Linglong is ten years old. has completely revealed a beauty embryo, Wu Linglong's personality is completely opposite to Pei Rou's temperament, very naughty, and likes martial arts. is somewhat similar to Pei Ying. So since Wu Linglong showed such a side, Wu Qing didn't want to see this child. The mistakes of the year made him ruin a woman's happiness, and he had a good conscience.

Wuqing stipulated that all three-year-old children must go to the home to study, first study the "Hundred Family Names", then read the "Three Character Classic", and finally learn the "Thousand Character Text", and ask the painter to teach painting. Ask everyone to teach music and so on. In short, Wu Qing wants his children to have a preliminary understanding of the world first, and then choose their hobbies when they are seven years old.

The first day is approaching. Wu Qing sat on the teahouse, sipping tea while looking at the sundial in the central square.

In the past year, there are joys and sorrows, the joy is that Wuqing County has finally been built and embarked on the formal, the sad thing is that it is at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Confucianism, and the progress of the construction of primary and secondary schools in various states is very unsmooth, only Yangzhou in the state, mainly now most of the officials in Yangzhou are afraid of the cool officials, and want to make good friends with Wuqing, so the construction of primary and secondary schools in Yangzhou is very smooth.

The rest are the counties where the students of Qingxin Academy are located, and Yao Yuanchong, the commander of Chang'an County, and Song Jing, the commander of Yichang County, are all active people.

But in any case, what has been built must be developed well, and what has not yet been built must be slowly accepted by them.

Luoyang has Wuqing and Qingxin Academy, and although Wei Yuanzhong is not dealing with Wuqing, he is still interested in science. After all, Wei Yuanzhong is not a pedantic person. On the contrary, Wei Yuanzhong, who is now in his fifties, is very accomplished, he has twice served as the Luoyang Order, and he has focused on arresting bandits.

Two primary schools and a middle school have been established in Luoyang City, although they have not yet begun to accept students, but they can slowly register after the Shangyuan Festival and after they are fully cleaned and repaired.

Moreover, Wu Qing used the golden dragon flag after the change as the national flag, so that Empress Dowager Wu seemed to capture something, but she didn't catch anything.

In response to the dilemma that the Turks continued to harass the border and the Tang Dynasty had no generals to send, Wuqing once again went to the top, opened a martial arts, and opened the Shendu Martial Academy.

In the note, Wu Qing clarified that the establishment of martial arts can solve the problem of lack of generals in a period of time, but it will take at least a year for these generals to grow into generals. In order to solve the long-standing problem of commanding troops, it is necessary to set up a martial arts academy to teach generals the art of war and strategy, and to learn the ability to command troops through constant drills. And in this way, the Queen Mother no longer needs to worry about not having generals.

In the Lijing Palace, after the Empress Dowager Wu saw Wu Qing's performance, she was silent for a long time, and the matter of opening a martial arts was already proposed by Wu Qing in the early years, as for the opening of a martial arts academy, it is indeed a new idea, but teaching so many people to learn the art of war and strategy, it is difficult to ensure that those people have no intention of rebellion.

Today's Empress Dowager Wu is very sensitive to the word "rebellion". But there is really no general in the court, and at this time she regretted killing Cheng Wuting, but in the blink of an eye, she regained her color.

"Wan'er, has the will of the prince Chengmei as the king of Heng, Longji as the king of Chu, Longfan as the king of Wei, and Longye as the king of Zhao have been prepared?" Empress Dowager Wu asked.

Shangguan Wan'er saw that the Empress Dowager was still holding Wu Qing's recital in her hand, but when she asked about this matter, she knew that the Empress Dowager Wu was a little hesitant, so she nodded and said, "It's already prepared." ”

Empress Dowager Wu said: "Wan'er, what do you think will happen if the imperial court opens a martial arts?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er had already seen Wu Qing's recital, and she already had a countermeasure in her heart, so she said: "There are many benefits to the imperial court's opening of martial arts. My Tang Dynasty martial arts prevail, there are many people who practice martial arts, the heart of competitiveness is too much, some people are even more into the green forest, some occupy the mountain as the king, these people are strong in martial arts, the officers and soldiers can not be wiped out for a while, and the army is dispatched to exterminate, it takes a long time, and consumes money and food, there are droughts and floods in the world from time to time, and the states do not dare to clear it thoroughly. If the imperial court opens a martial arts, it can be awarded to military attachΓ©s in order regardless of their background, and if they can be like literati, those who enter the martial arts will be awarded in order. This will win the hearts of the world's warriors, and it can also alleviate local bandits. The most important thing is that the Queen Mother will send generals in the future, why worry about having no generals to send? ”

When Shangguan Wan'er said this, Empress Dowager Wu's heart suddenly brightened, and she couldn't help but praise: "You, you really deserve to be my internal minister." ”

Shangguan Wan'er dared to take credit, and hurriedly bowed and said: "This is all taught by the Queen Mother, and the slaves and maids have the talent to learn today." ”

Empress Dowager Wu was very happy, so she asked again: "Then tell me, how do you understand the opening of the Shendu Martial Academy?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er pondered for a moment and said: "The Shendu Martial Academy was mentioned by the general, and it emphatically explained the importance of the Martial Academy. Yi Nuwen believes that it is very likely that the general's move is to strengthen the strength of the Tang Dynasty's army. ”

If Wu Qing heard this, he would definitely love Shangguan Wan'er to death, although Shangguan Wan'er only said a little, but it was almost the same. The purpose of establishing the Wuyuan was not only to strengthen the army, but more importantly, to cultivate the army's loyalty to the emperor. It was to build an army that was completely loyal to the emperor. This is something that Empress Dowager Wu, a woman who plays with power, can never think of and cannot see through. Empress Dowager Wu knew that military loyalty was important, but she was accustomed to playing with balance, believing that this imperial power technique would ensure that her rule would be safe and secure. This may be the reason why the Praetorian guards rebelled first when she was bedridden in the twilight.

Today's imperial power technique was born from Han Feizi's Legalism and blended with Confucian moderation thought, and the Tang court all showed this, such as the left and right phases and left and right sides of the civil official series of Chinese Changtai, the original imperial history platform was changed to the left and right suzheng platform, etc., and the army series of sixteen guards are divided into left and right, such as left and right Jin Wuwei, left and right Yulin Wei, left and right leopard Taowei and so on. This is called balance.

After listening to Shangguan Wan'er's words, Empress Dowager Wu couldn't help but fall into deep thought, should she open a martial arts move or open a Shendu martial arts academy? (To be continued......)
