Chapter 447: Dumbfounded

The Shangyuan Festival has passed, and Youzhou City has begun to operate normally......

The cold wind howled, blowing on the face not only cold, but also sore the cheeks.

Walking slowly on the spacious streets of Youzhou City, I feel completely different from Bianliang.

There is no bustle and bustle of Bianliang, but it is a little more rough and atmospheric.

There are not many pedestrians, but they are basically strong, revealing an inexplicable toughness, and at a glance they know that they are not easy to provoke.

The entourage who followed behind Li Gang was a little cowering, but the sergeant of the Dadu Governor's Mansion ten steps away looked relaxed.

There is actually nothing to see in the city of Youzhou, the Khitans have ruled for two hundred years, and with their ruling methods, the situation on the market is average.

With the Yanyun Metropolitan Governor's Mansion taking Youzhou, it has been transforming Youzhou City, and it is still in the process of transformation now.

As far as the eye can see, there are busy scenes against the cold wind everywhere, and it is not very interesting to watch too much.

However, there are many schools in Youzhou City, and you can hear the sound of reading from time to time.

Not only the sound of children reading aloud, but even the sound of young people and adult men reading, which is quite appreciated by Li Gang.

After listening to it for a few days, the admiration on his face slowly disappeared, and it was replaced by a full of doubt.

It seems that in addition to the three hundred thousand of enlightenment, it is the decree issued by the Yanyun Metropolitan Governor's Office, as well as military discipline and the like, and there are no four books and five classics?

When I had doubts in my heart, I naturally wanted to investigate it myself......

The result of the investigation was to surprise him.

The schools in Youzhou City, including the temporary schools, did not teach the words of the so-called Four Books and Five Classics sages.

In its place, there is a basic Mongolian course, and there are various technical schools that go further.

It's ridiculous!

How can you be able to get into the hall of elegance?

Seeing this, Li Gang's mood was very complicated, and he even had a strong sense of anger.

I found an opportunity to ask Chai Dadu directly why he was, wouldn't it be fragrant for the saint to educate it?

"The land of Yanyun has fallen into the hands of the Khitan for more than two hundred years, and it is a fact that the Confucian atmosphere here is not prosperous!"

Chai Dadu Governor said without hesitation: "A certain is not interested in Confucianism!" ”

"How can the Metropolitan Governor be like this, Confucianism is the way to govern the country!"

"And then, reincarnation every few hundred years?"

Governor Chai sneered: "What is the current situation in the Great Song Dynasty, presumably Bo Ji knows in his heart that the court is all elites cultivated by Confucianism!" ”

"As a result, the Great Song Dynasty has reached the brink of financial collapse, Boji doesn't deny this, right?"

"It's just a temporary dilemma......"

"Is it really just a moment? As long as the official family of the Great Song Dynasty does not stop the huge project of laboring the people and losing money, believe it or not, the rebellions of Huaixi Wang Qing and Jiangnan La, will only increase and increase, and they will not stop? ”

"The Metropolitan Governor is a little extreme......"

"It's not a radical thing, but what the court and the local government need are practical talents, not the so-called Confucian elites who talk about it."

Chai Dadu Governor said leisurely: "Bo Ji has never been to the vicinity of Liangshan Shuibo, otherwise he would definitely not say such a thing to a certain person!" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"On the Shuibo side, Benzhai will take over all the taxes in the nearby villages, that is, the Liangshan Commercial Bank will directly negotiate the taxes with the government on behalf of the villages and the government!"

Governor Chai Dadu laughed and said: "As a result, Bo Ji definitely doesn't want to know that the Liangshan Commercial Bank can pay the full amount of taxes to the local government on time every year, and the rural life of the payment is becoming more and more prosperous, isn't it because of the promotion of the so-called strange prostitution skills and industry and commerce?" ”

Li Gang was silent......

Although he had never been to Liangshan Village, he had heard of it.

The tax revenue of Jeju and Yunzhou ranks in the forefront of the eastern and western roads of Jingdong every year, and life is not too prosperous.

The reason for this situation is that Liangshan Benzhai and the surrounding villages are united and develop industry and commerce on a large scale.

Purely from the tax aspect, it can be inferred that the development momentum of Liangshan Benzhai and the nearby villages is definitely quite good.

You must know that the Great Song Dynasty's exploitation of the people at the bottom is no worse than that of other dynasties, and even surpasses it.

That is to say, the industry and commerce of the Great Song Dynasty were developed, the development of all walks of life was quite good, and there were many jobs that could be provided, which alleviated the serious contradiction between land and population disproportionateness.

It's a pity that with the emergence of an emperor who can spend money and toss, the situation that could barely be maintained before collapsed in an instant.

"Everyone talks about profit, morality is degenerate, and there will never be less things to be traitors and criminals!"

Li Gang said politely: "Isn't this a good thing?" ”

"What is the government's strict punishment law for?"

Chai Daguan sneered: "The Great Song Dynasty does not have as many disobedient rangers in the Han and Tang Dynasties, but unfortunately although the laws of the Great Song Dynasty are strict, they are too lenient for prisoners, and they make the local scoundrels rampant!" ”

"Otherwise, where do Bo Ji think that so many heroes of Liangshan are from?"

"Especially Huaixi Wang Qing's house, he is a scoundrel himself, and in the end, he can still form such a large scale, it can be said that the law of the Great Song Dynasty is completely messed up!"

Li Gang was silent again......

"Then let's wait and see, I want to see what the land of Yanyun under the rule of the Metropolitan Governor can develop?"

"I won't disappoint Boji!"

Chai Daguan laughed, and said incomprehensibly: "Some new things have appeared, but it is impossible to suppress them!" ”

"With the increasing number of certain existences, the management model of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will naturally change with it, otherwise there will be hardships in the future!"

When Li Gang left the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, he was confused and only felt inexplicable.

Chai Dadudu's last words made him feel confused, and he didn't know what he meant?

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, Li Gang continued to walk around the land of Yanyun by himself, and by the way, checked the most real situation here.

Obviously, there was nothing to see in Youzhou City, and when the weather warmed up a little, he couldn't wait to get out of the city, planning to wander around the villages outside the city.

It was only not long after leaving the city gate, along the official road that had only been repaired last year, that he was forced to the side of the road by a team of fast-moving Scuds, and watched in amazement as a series of four-wheeled carriages, carrying extremely heavy goods, speeding through the middle of the official road at a flying speed.

Because the speed was too fast and the number of vehicles was too large, the strong wind blew one after another, the clothes on his body were whisking, and his cheeks were also painful.

It's just that the discomfort on his body can't offset the shock in Li Gang's heart at this time......

He opened his eyes wide and looked at the fully loaded carriages, which were also running too fast, right?

A convoy of four-wheeled carriages roared by, carefully looking at how many supplies could be carried at least two miles long?

What shocked him the most was the speed of these four-wheeled carriages......

How could the horse that pulled the carriage be able to pull such a heavy carriage as if it were about to fly?

Li Gang was full of doubts, and subconsciously looked towards the official road surface where the convoy was ballasted, but was surprised to find that there were no obvious indentations on the road surface.

This is, what's going on?

In addition, the scuds clearing the road in front of the convoy are also running at an extraordinary speed, even above the speed of the four-wheeled carriage.

It seems that the scuds who cleaned the road in front of them just now, the guards who accompanied the car in the middle, and the men and horses behind the convoy, relying on the running speed of two legs, are not slower than the speeding convoy at all, right?

How can you run on your legs and keep up with the speed of a horse-drawn carriage?

Even with this speed, it can't last, right?

But at this time, looking at the four-wheeled carriage convoy, it had already disappeared at the end of the field of vision, and even the guards who relied on their legs to move had all run away, obviously following the speeding convoy.

This and this is incredible......

Even if Li Gang didn't know much about military affairs, he knew that such an astonishing marching speed, as well as the speed of logistics and material transfer, was absolutely not a simple increase in the improvement of the army's combat effectiveness.

At this time, the conversation of the passer-by next to him attracted his attention, and a pair of ears involuntarily stood up to listen carefully.

"Tsk, these rune four-wheeled carriages are getting faster and faster, they are as fast as a galloping horse and as fast as the wind, it's really powerful!"

"Yes, who would know that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion still has such means, it seems that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will definitely have the possibility of becoming the overlord of the world in the future!"

"That's right, not to mention, just these speeding carriages, if they are sent to the battlefield to initiate a collision, no matter which army can't afford it!"

"That is to say, the Metropolitan Governor has no intention of taking the initiative to toss, otherwise whether it is the Song Kingdom in the south or the barbarians in the north, they are not the opponents of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion!"

"I heard that the Metropolitan Governor pays more attention to the people's livelihood and economy, which is definitely a great thing for our people!"

"Isn't it, if they all like to toss like the emperor of the country, I'm afraid that the idea of the Dadu Governor's Mansion will not be able to withstand a few years of consumption!"

"Regardless of these, we just need to honestly act according to the rules of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, but those scuds can keep up with the speed of the rune carriage, which is also quite amazing!"

"I don't know if it's a two-hundred-mile scud or a four-hundred-mile scud?"

"It should be two hundred miles of scuds, otherwise they wouldn't have run so fast, and they wouldn't be able to bear it if it took a long time!"

"I heard that when we recruited troops, few of us in the Youzhou Territory could meet the Scud standard?"

"yes, I've heard about it too, and I feel like my face is dull. However, Scud's physical fitness requirements are extremely strict, and I heard that at least they have to be at the level of not receiving money at night in the army, and it is normal for the children of Youzhou who have just joined the army to fail to meet the requirements! ”

"I hope those boys will be more competitive and be able to meet the standards and requirements of those rune troops as soon as possible......"
