Chapter 237: Annihilation

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

In the Song Dynasty in parallel time and space, every time the Khitan envoy entered the territory, the Song Dynasty would always make various restrictions to guide the envoy to take a detour, the purpose was to prevent the Khitan envoy from being familiar with the road, and after entering the country, many settings were set up to prevent the Liao envoy from peeking into the Central Plains. As a big country, although there are objective reasons for the weakness of the heart, it is also cowardly to make people sigh.

And when Lu Jialing proposed a similar Jianyi, Zhang Mai just chuckled: "Do the Khitan cavalry still have a chance to cross the Yellow River?" ”

So this time, Yelu entered the territory of Tiance Datang, and the qiΔ“ on the opposite side seemed to be open to him. He did not deliberately take a detour along the way, and after passing through Shuofang, he even allowed the Liao envoys to go directly to the market to buy things, at first it was just to provide a little convenience in life, but the Great Liao delegation still brought money, and when they arrived at the market, there were many goods that Yanyun could not see, so they simply bought them, and the monitors did not stop them.

When you do business, you have to make contact, and when you have contact, you can get a lot of information from the market in small talk.

Yelu Wu listened to the information of the people of Tiance Datang, but Zhang Mai had no intention of stopping it. In addition to military secrets, anyone can want to know about the above and right things on their own land! If the Liao envoy wants to know, then let him know!

It's a mind, it's confidence, it's a contempt!

In the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese people entered the Tang Dynasty, the Silla people entered the Tang Dynasty, and the people of the Western Regions entered the Tang Dynasty.

So Yelu entered Qin Xi and had the opportunity to see and hear Qin Xi being born. Despite being a Khitan, as one of the highest sages in the clan, Yelu Wuzhi interpreted what he saw with his ingenuity, and he was surprised to see that Qin Xi seemed to be undergoing a social change. That's right, it's not just the regime that has changed hands. It's about social change.

What is happening here is not only the alternation of power like Zhu Wen usurping the Tang Dynasty, Li Cunqiao replacing Zhu Liang, and Shi Jingjiao replacing Li Congke. With the entry of the Tiance regime, a new way of life including political life, economic life and even entertainment life is rapidly being implanted.

Beginning with the occupation of Shule, a tradition of entertainment borrowed from the East and the West has continued and has become richer and more exciting as it goes on. The story of the changing monk and the storyteller, this is a hot entertainment in the Shule period, and the most famous is to tell the story of the Anxi Tang Army's eastward expedition to the people at home and abroad. At first, it was for the sake of propaganda, but gradually the residents realized that these stories were really interesting, and later they were willing to listen to them, if not for patriotism.

When he arrived in the Yanqi area, he began to form a drama with a simple plot, and after arriving in Qiuzi, music and singing and dancing were added, and even in the army, if it was a long-term expedition, sometimes there were dramas to follow during the period to perform for the soldiers who were temporarily resting. Of course, the performances are all short plays that can boost morale, and transliteration stories that can strengthen the centripetal force. As for the recitation of Tang poems, it has become a field tradition of the Modao Battle Axe Formation.

This was the case during the war, but in peacetime, entertainment was even more popular, and even the Supreme Leader Zhang Mai occasionally participated in the creation of texts and dramas. The story of "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the story of "Journey to the West". The story of "Romance of the Gods" was initiated by Zhang Mai. He told stories to his children, and then they were "overheard" by the attendants, and then changed them to the monks and storytellers, and they became the three major themes alongside the Eastern Expedition of the Tang Army in Anxi. As for the stories of Buddhist scriptures originally told by the monks, they have become a niche theme.

After entering Lianglan, the theme of the story has expanded. One of the biggest changes is that after the establishment of the Correction and Appraisal Desk, some people have compiled real stories and turned them into contemporary market life dramas, satirizing the current situation. Although its magical intensity is not as strong as the previous four types, because it is closer to the people's lives, the popular dΓΉ is not under the first four.

After the emergence of market dramas and stories, it once caused panic among the relevant departments of the Tiance regime, but Zhang Mai was very indulgent about this, and even himself was a die-hard audience of such dramas and stories, often watching such dramas and stories in micro-service to see what kind of problems had gone in civil society under his rule. With him as a benchmark, market dramas and market stories have quickly prospered and gained a firm foothold.

After the opening of the Silk Road, various stories and entertainment methods from the West enriched the entertainment of Liangzhou year after year. Now there are not only stories of Indian Buddhism, but also Arab stories of the heavenly world, and even Greek and Roman myths.

As for the music, it is all-encompassing, Qiuzi, Indian, Arabic, and even a small amount of Egyptian and European tunes, all kinds of melodies may appear in the market of Liangzhou. Not to mention the "sound of heaven" that sometimes comes out of Marshal Zhang's house!

Well, Zhang Mai's singing with a broken voice is really hard to listen to, but the songs he occasionally hums are indeed of the times.

Then there is the food, the food from the Arab region, the finger food from the Indian region, the food from the Central Plains, the food from Bashu, the food from Beiting and Mobei......

One by one, it flooded the market in Liangzhou.

Thanks to the establishment of political institutions down to the county level, the Tang Dynasty had a much greater control over the people during the war than in the Shi Jin and Meng Shu, but in peacetime, the relaxation of its civil society atmosphere was restored to the height of the Tang Dynasty and even surpassed it - at least the curfew had become a legend in some places, and Liangzhou was almost a city that never sleeps during non-war times.

Long before the incorporation of Western Qin into the Tiance regime, due to the eastward extension of the Silk Road, all kinds of entertainment were actually already interacting with each other - the western end of the Silk Road was constantly injecting new blood into the entertainment of the Central Plains, and some of the entertainment, musical instruments and even famous musicians and singers of the Central Plains were also rushing to the northwest - as long as the money was there, it would naturally attract them.

After the Tiance regime entered western Qin, due to the provision of a more relaxed living environment, all kinds of entertainment poured in on a large scale. At least the markets and temple fairs he experienced in Weizhou were more lively and fun than the Han temple fairs he saw in the Yanyun area.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

The prosperity of entertainment lies in the development of the economy.

Needless to say, the commercial prosperity brought by the Silk Road is not to mention, but after all, this is concentrated in the various towns along the route, that is, the countryside of western Qin. After the entry of the Tiance regime, there are also changes.

Ever since the Tang Army entered the Western Regions, there has always been a group of capable old farmers, capable herdsmen, and a number of knowledgeable monks studying agriculture and animal husbandryβ€”an official institution that has never been seen before in history.

How to plough the land and sow seeds in a better way, how to make pigs and cattle grow faster, how to turn alfalfa and other things into feed, how to turn manure waste into fertilizer...... This team is growing with the growth of the Tiance Tang Army, and more and more talents are being attracted. The results are also more and more fruitful.

Not only that, but there is also a team that continues to impart experience in various places and bring various technologies to the private sector to disseminate. In the past seven years, the Hexi Corridor has been able to provide more than half of the food and money supply of Tiance Datang with the scale of hundreds of thousands of people, and the most important foundation is here.

After Huhua, Hexi has regressed considerably, and although the animal husbandry is reached, it mainly relies on the abundance of water and grass. The form of stocking is still extensive stocking, to the Tiance regime into the entry, not only to renovate the Han and Tang dynasties left over the water conservancy, but also to the degradation of farmland planting technology forcibly promoted, for pigs and cattle are more fine captivity, in just a few years not only the grain output quadrupled, and the pig out of the circle rate is increased several times! The use of feed has allowed beef cattle to grow faster, and dairy products have become a staple on the table of many families. Due to the abundance of animal power. The per capita grain production of farmers in Hexi has surpassed that of the Central Plains and the most advanced areas in the south of the Yangtze River.

As for the handicraft industry. There are three sources of Tiance Datang's handicraft technology: one is the various advanced process concepts, industrial processes and exhibition directions "created" by Zhang Mai; One is the old Tang handicraft tradition that originated from the Tang Dynasty and was preserved by the four towns of Anxi; One is the handicraft tradition of Da from the Persian region of Central Asia. Now these three sources have become one.

After nearly ten years of exhibition, the official assembly line workshop of Tiance Datang has been very mature, not only a large number of agricultural tools have flowed into the people, and the exhibition of Hexi agriculture has formed a mutually reinforcing relationship, and the improvement of swords and armor has also made Tiance's war equipment more elite.

The folk handicraft industry has also developed quite rapidly under this drive and stimulation, especially the Zheng family, Nai family and other large business families. After imitating the process of the assembly line workshop, the quantity and quality of its handicraft products have been greatly improved. Today, the prefectures of Hexi are not only the transit points of the Silk Road, but also the source of various handicrafts. Of course, in the traditional fields of silk and porcelain, it is not yet the opponent of the Central Plains. But some new products are making a splash. For example, cotton and cotton textiles have become a pillar industry in Lanzhou, and are now spreading to the west of Qin.

From the perspective of Yelu Wuqian, even if he only stayed in the market for less than half a day, he could still see that the Tiance regime had brought not only changes in entertainment life and economic life to Qinxi, but also political life, and Qinxi was also facing great changes.

Yes, out of the need to stabilize the situation, not all the officials in the western Qin states have been replaced, or even most of them have not been replaced, but the rule of the officials in western Qin is still in a benign transformation - this can be seen from the words of the people in the market.

If it was said that last winter was because Zhang Mai was constantly inspecting the states, so that most of the officials did not dare to act mischief for a while, then the implantation of the national people's political system brought by Yang Dingguo made many officials realize that their power is being supervised and restricted like never before!

When will the ordinary people be able to discuss politics in a public and impeachable place? Especially after the Anshi Rebellion, the warlords divided the territory and the martial artists took power, not to mention the powerless farmers, even the squires and scribes were lambs to be slaughtered under the butcher's knife.

But now it seems that everything has changed. The emergence of the correction and evaluation platform has given the unarmed the right to participate in and discuss politics.

Although at this stage, the township correction and evaluation station can only discuss township politics, the county correction and evaluation station can only discuss county politics, and the state correction and evaluation station can only discuss state politics, and they are all limited to the field of people's livelihood, but this is enough for the people. There is a place where you can make your own voice, and once the voice of injustice is interfered with, you can also appeal to the higher correction and evaluation desk, which can make the local officials have something to fear. As for really arguing with the county ordinance and the governor, it is impossible for the time being. Nor is it required.

Of course, at this stage, those who are attracted to the correction platform are mainly the gentry from all over the country and the literati with a certain amount of knowledge, and they have not yet penetrated into the lower social classes. It's not that Zhang Mai and Yang Dingguo won't let it, but the peasants and citizens who have been ruled for thousands of years and have lost their knowledge and courage don't dare to stand up. However, judging from Hexi's experience, after several years of education and popularization, when the peasants gradually become familiar with the operation of this system, it is entirely possible for both peasants and small traders to stand on the platform and speak for their own interests.

And at this stage, such an effect is sufficient. The squires of western Qin regarded the correction system as a measure for Zhang Mai to attract himself to the Tiance regime - in the township, the county government, and the state, and a certain selection process. There are also some people who will be elected to the center, and at that time they can go to Liangzhou, or build a speech in front of Marshal Zhangβ€”or represent the Tiance Datang and go to various places to inspect and visitβ€”isn't this Qincha?

This correction desk system is clearly a way to be an official! Many literati who know historical events are more reminded of the recommendation system of the Han Dynasty, believing that the system of correcting and evaluating the Taiwan National Assembly was produced by the grassroots nomination, which is a variant of the recommendation system.

Unlike the popularization of agriculture and the improvement of animal husbandry, which Zheng Wei had to make great efforts to forcibly promote, the system of correction and evaluation was quickly welcomed by the local gentry as soon as it entered the western Qinxi region. And in a very short period of time, it brought a strong centripetal force to the Tiance regime. In all counties and counties, correction and evaluation systems at all levels have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. The influence is so far that even other places in Guanzhong have heard the wind and moved, and in the eastern Qindong region, which is still under the Shi Jin regime, there are even prefectures, counties and villages that are imitating this system, and the gentry use this system to do politics in their own townships, and there is no integration and control from the higher correction and evaluation platform. In some remote places, it is even self-governing by relying on this system.

For the mission of the mission, Yelu Wu was eager to go faster.

But after coming into contact with this information, he wanted to slow down a little so that he could see more and hear more. He wanted to know how Zhang Mai did this, and he wanted to learn. He hopes to bring the reason for the strength of the Tiance regime back to the Khitan and bring hope and future to his nation.

However, some things seem simple, but can the Khitan learn them? Even, are the emperors and nobles of the Khitan willing to learn? Do you dare to learn?

Let Yanyun, Dandong, and Linhuang also establish a correction system? Decentralization of the livelihood of the Khitan? Let all ethnic groups elect powerful people they trust to strengthen their political positions? If it really did, both the gentry of Yanyun and the patriarchs of Mo Nan and Donghu would definitely be very happy.

But how could the Khitan do such a thing! How could the emperor and the nobles allow such a thing to happen!

The Khitan did not trust foreigners, and foreigners would not sincerely support the Khitan. No matter how strong the Khitan is, it is mainly because of the mastery of force, if the population of other ethnic groups is combined, the Khitan is also a minority group in the population base, and now in the territory of Daliao, when it comes to the number of people, it is the largest Han people! Even in Linhuangfu and Dandong, the proportion of Han people is still the highest.

Without a sufficiently stable majority population as a foundation, many of the good-sounding policies are just empty buildings.

There are some things that Yelu Wu only sees a layer of skin and cannot touch the substance, such as the handicraft industry, he only sees the prosperity of various craft products, but cannot touch the more core technology; And there are some things that Yeluwu can perceive the inner reasons for, but he can't learn them, he can't learn them, he can't learn them!

"No wonder Zhang Longxiang is not afraid that I will see it, and when I hear it, he should have guessed this a long time ago!"

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

On the night of the stay in Weizhou, due to the destruction of the war, the old official post station was dilapidated, and the official guest house along the line had not yet been established, Yelu lived in a temple that had been requisitioned as a temporary post station, and at the other end of the temple, a monk was teaching a group of teenagers to write.

In recent years, due to the exhibition of new papermaking and the popularization of printing, the books in Tiance are becoming cheap, when it comes to the exquisite process of books, the excellent process of proofreading, in fact, it is not as good as Chengdu and Jiangnan, but it can't stop the large number! Originally, the Hexi area was the import area of books, but now it has become the output area of books, the Central Plains, Guanzhong, Chengdu and even Jiangnan and Khitan, there are a large number of books from Hexi, these books and periodicals are not satisfactory in printing, and they are not enough to collect. But it's perfect for reading because it's cheap!

At this time, what the monk was holding in his hand was a "Primary School Popular Textbook" that included literacy, arithmetic, basic knowledge of history and geography, basic knowledge of physics and basic knowledge of chemistry.

This textbook, dictated by Zhang Mai and recorded by the model, requires students to know 800 to 1,000 commonly used simplified Chinese characters, learn to learn the arithmetic skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and transform some basic common sense into interesting stories. It is a popular textbook that has reached every village in Hexi after several years.

Yelu Wuzhi listened to the story of the monk, and shook his head as he listened, he felt that the education next door was not too high, but the level was too low, but he soon realized that the monk was not teaching the children of the squire, but a group of ragged peasant boys.

After asking around, the monk next door was not a master. Rather, they are transformed monks, who teach them during the day, and spend an hour at night, holding a literacy book, to teach local teenagers how to write and do arithmetic, and the goal of this teaching is not to teach monks or scholars, but to eradicate illiteracy.

Yelu Wuzhi also listened to the monk who changed the text and said that all the monks and storytellers in the territory of Tiance. They are all obliged to carry out literacy education in their localities. This is mandatory if the night does not fulfill the obligation. Then during the day, they can't go to their projects to entertain the masses and go out to make money. Of course, if you fulfill your obligations, you can receive a salary from the county government every month. There are both sticks and turnips, so all the monks and storytellers in Tiance have joined this plan, and some of them are even more literate and ready to abandon their entertainment careers. Devote yourself to a nobler cause of education.

That's all there is to it, what really surprised Yelu Wuzhi was that he heard about one of Zhang Mai's ambitions from the monk who changed the text:

"I'm going to do literacy! I want to be literate by the time I am alive, with more than 80 percent of the men and more than half of the women in my country! ”

Eighty per cent of the country's men and more than half of its women are literate? That's impossible!

Since Confucius, more than a thousand years. It is not necessarily that the entire Central Plains has achieved the popularization of this kind of Cheng dΓΉ culture. As the country with the highest etiquette in the world's cultural popularization process, the Central Plains has not been able to do this for more than a thousand years, which means that the whole world cannot do it!

He Zhang Mai, can he do it in just a few decades?

Jerod doesn't believe it!

He couldn't believe it either!

Think about this country with a population of tens of millions, if more than half of them really got rid of their illiteracy and became the "scholars" in the heart of Jeruwu, what kind of country would this country become?

Well, if all of them become well-mannered and well-mannered, it will be a good thing for the Khitan. But look at the appearance of Tiance Datang, does it seem to become a weak country? At least listen to the monk next door talk about literary and historical knowledge, and the stories told are how the famous generals of the Han and Tang dynasties abandoned their pens and expanded their territory! Although it is popularizing the knowledge of literature and history, the poems used are "Why don't men take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures, please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and ten thousand households"!

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

When Yelu entered Qinzhou, before he met Zhang Mai, he already felt that great changes were brewing in this land!

Yes, he had never been to Qinzhou before, but he could still feel that a change was underway.

The Tiance regime is not only occupying this area, but also changing this area, all the changes are carried out in the name of the Tang Dynasty, and everything is aimed at "restoring the glory of the Tang Dynasty"!

However, the future under the rule of the Tiance regime, "is it really necessary to restore the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Yelu Wuzhi has read history books, and he knows what the Tang Dynasty was like! I know more about what Zhang Mai is doing, but it doesn't necessarily mean that he really wants to restore the appearance of the old Tang Dynasty.

If he succeeds, then the country he created will not be the Tang Dynasty established by the Li clan in Longxi, but a new era and a new world in the name of the Tang Dynasty!

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Before entering Western Qin, Yelu was one of the few high-ranking members of the Khitan clan who supported Han Yanhui's strategy.

But now, he was skeptical of his decision.

"Really?"

According to Han Yanhui's strategy, he can buy time for the Khitan to survive, but looking at such a momentum under the Tiance regime, the further back, who will have a greater advantage?

This qiΔ“ had been bothering Yelu since Weizhou, but when he arrived outside Qinzhou City, he knew that he could no longer hesitate, so he abandoned all thoughts on the road and adjusted his thinking to the best state. No matter what the future holds, it's too long-term, and the most important thing now is to complete the mission in front of you!

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Jerod has arrived?"

"Yes," Fan said, "I don't know when the marshal summoned him." ”

"Wait two days." Zhang Mai said: "Find someone to accompany him and let him go around Qinzhou City." ”

"Why do you want this captive to peek into my reality?" Fan Zhen was actually puzzled by what Zhang Mai had done during this time.

"Qin Xi has nothing to say about the Khitan, this is no longer the front line." Zhang Mai said: "Our front line is now in Ping'an City, and Qinxi is only the rear. In a short time, I'm afraid that the Khitan caravans will come here, can they stop it when the time comes? In that case, it is better to let it go and let them see enough. ”

Zhang Mai paused, and said: "What's more, this Yelu Wu quality, I heard that he is also a person who is proficient in Chinese, I have seen the Chinese characters he wrote, and he is more beautiful than me." People like that, in the long run, let them see what we're doing. ”

Regarding Zhang Mai's words, Fan Zhen has some understanding, but he seems to have some incomprehension.

"Let them see what we're doing?" Fan Zhen said: "Does the marshal have to recruit Yelu Wuqing? ”

Fan Zhen felt that this possibility seemed unlikely, and Yeluwu's status in the Khitan tribe was too high. may not be the highest group of people in terms of seniority in terms of official position, but this is a person who can influence the decisions of Shu Luping and Yelu Deguang, and his future is destined to be unlimited. It is impossible for such a person to be a traitor, because the external regime cannot give him the honor and power that the Khitan has given him.

"Not to solicit, but to eliminate." Zhang Mai said with a smile.

"Annihilation?"

"Yes, elimination."

"**, eliminate a part, and then mentally ......" Zhang Mai put his voice two points heavier: "All annihilation!" ”

Fan Zhen's body shook slightly, thinking of something, sometimes he felt that the marshal he served was Kuang Shi Renjun, looking at his concern for the people under his rule, which emperor of which dynasty and which generation could compare? Even if it is the legendary Three Emperors and Five Emperors, I'm afraid it's nothing more than that.

But against enemies and foreigners, he is always able to use violent methods that Fan Zhen can't even imagine!

Annihilation!

The two words are fluttering, but they make people feel suffocated that they can't breathe.

Zhang Mai didn't seem to notice Fan Zhen's reaction, and still muttered to himself: "Let the Khitan, like the Xiongnu and Rouran, become the only symbol that exists in the history books." Guys who dare to infringe on our Han nation will have to end up like this sooner or later. ”

Last year, because of my own reasons, I stopped working for eight months, and it was an unbearable time for me, and the whole person was in a very bad state, and I don't want to say more about the specific reasons.

Fortunately, I finally struggled out half a month ago and re-updated. Now "Tang Cavalry" for me, there is not much economic benefit at all, one is that writing this novel is a cheer for me, even a salvation, after each update can bring me a short-term sense of satisfaction, and what makes me even more grateful is that after such a long break, there are still so many friends who still remember this novel that I thought had been forgotten by everyone.

Thank you. Really appreciated.

It's the beginning of the month.,Anyway, I'm back to write.,Everyone came back to see it.,If you have a monthly pass, vote for one.。 It's not why, it's just to let more friends see that "Tang Ride" is back. As for the position of the monthly ticket list at the end of the month, I will not ask for extravagance, at most, let us stay in a higher position at the beginning of the month, so that old friends know the news.

Tonight or tomorrow, I'll see if I can add another chapter.

Thank you, thank you very much.

Bodhisattva.
