Wu Meiniang's strength is that she will not be bound by morality, and she does not mind using extraordinary means in order to achieve her goals, even if such means will be criticized. But as a politician, what she has to do is not to be a moral role model, but to be a person who can bring benefits to her group so that they can ally with her.

So when Yun Yao said that she would first let Datang upgrade its industry, and then drive the small countries at the east and west ends to upgrade its industry, she thought of using involution to kill small countries.

However, Yun Yao knew that it was useless for the small country to be swept up to death, because new forces would soon emerge. As long as you can't merge all the regions into one country, the small country can be reborn from the ashes and won't die at all.

For example, after the fall of Goguryeo, there was also the Balhae Kingdom, and after the Balhae Kingdom, there were Goryeo, Silla, Baekje, and then the Jurchen Jin Kingdom. is dead, and soon there will be new small states rising.

At the same time, it is not good for Datang to be swept up in a small country, but it lacks a market.

Wu Meiniang's thinking is too traditional, thinking that killing directly is an efficient means, but in fact, what is really important is to let Datang continue to develop. Yun Yao did not continue the topic, after all, it takes time for the human mind to adapt to the new environment. Let's continue to talk about the details of industrial upgrading.

Industrial upgrading includes all aspects, and these require money, so Yun Yao is ready to set a small goal first, first establish a new discipline in Guozijian, and revive the hundred schools of thought.

Now Buddhism and Taoism are the mainstream, and Taoism is played more by aristocrats, such as cultivating immortals and refining pills. The scope of Western religion is wider, from the aristocracy to the commoners, there is no one who does not play, the nobles sit in meditation, and the commoners worship the Buddha, anyway, they all have the opportunity to become Buddhas.

Of course, at present, Western religion is mainly based on the northern aristocracy, so there are more people in the north who practice zazen gradually. In the future, there will be epiphany practice in the south, and there will be more and more civilians who believe in Buddhism.

The difference between enlightenment and gradual enlightenment is that gradual enlightenment requires time and energy to sit in meditation, and the precept of wisdom is to generate concentration through vows, and to generate wisdom through concentration.

And there is no need for epiphany, because in their eyes it is wisdom and wisdom is determination. When you eat and sleep on a daily basis, as long as you suddenly have an epiphany one day, you will directly gain the wisdom of Prajna, and you don't need to spend time completing the process of 'meditation'.

The precept is the precept, that is, not to allow this and not to allow that; Meditation is meditation, that is, meditation and meditation; Wisdom is wisdom, and as long as you master the wisdom of Prajna, you can go to the other side and get rid of the sea of suffering.

The Northern and Western teachings are three processes that must be done well in order to attain the final wisdom. But how can a laborer who has no money have time to sit for an hour? Therefore, the emergence of epiphany caters to the vast number of laborers who aspire to become Buddhas.

Taoist alchemy and immortal cultivation are naturally played by nobles, after all, alchemy requires cost, and laborers can't even drink hot water, so how can they have money for alchemy.

As for Confucianism, after experiencing the blow of metaphysics, it was a slump in the Sui and Tang dynasties, although the content of learning is still Confucian classics, but after learning, there is no performance, everyone is still talking about metaphysics and Buddhism, talking about alchemy and zazen, basically no one will flaunt themselves with Confucian etiquette.

No one even studies Confucianism, let alone the hundred schools of thought.

It was not until later that Confucianism also began to learn from Western teachings and genealogy, starting from Confucius onwards, that Confucianism had a systematic inheritance and began to oppose Western teaching. Of course, when the time comes, Yun Yao's theory that everyone can become a saint and everyone can become a gentleman will definitely be able to exert great power.

Wu Meiniang heard Yun Yao say that the small goal was to start with the Guozijian first, and felt that it was very reasonable, after all, she saved money, and she could also control the mouthpiece of the court. She couldn't help but be secretly happy, thinking that jumping from the emperor's car to the princess's car was really right, the princess's ambition was so great, maybe there would be a female emperor in Datang in the future. She felt that Yun Yao had the possibility of being the emperor, and she might be able to be a female prime minister at that time.

Obviously, Wu Meiniang's courage is not big enough, and her imagination is not soaring enough.

"That's why the princess collects books from the people and organizes them, just to transform the country?"

"Not only to transform the Guozijian, but also to repair a book "The Complete Book of Hundred Schools", from easy to difficult, maybe it can be used as a textbook for the imperial examination." Now the imperial examination is not formal, although there are many subjects, but the content of the examination is very jumpy, and there is no standard for the examination questions, which is very testing to learn. It is not conducive to allowing more people to join the ranks of the imperial examination, so everyone must know what they should learn in the imperial examination, so that more students can have a purpose.

"Would you like to fix this book?"

Wu Meiniang didn't expect that the princess would give herself such a precious opportunity, if this book can be completed, then she can go down in history. As a woman, how glorious is it to be able to cultivate a set of "Hundred Schools"? Once the book is completed, the influence may expand to the entire Tang Dynasty, and there is no reason to refuse. "Don't dare to disobey." She is a straightforward person, and her heart is better than action, so she decisively agreed.

"I'll leave it to you."

After accepting the order, Wu Meiniang immediately made a suggestion and said: "Your Highness, it is better to change the "Hundred Families of Schools" to "The Complete Book of Princes", I think this name is better." ”

Although they are all taken from the hundreds of schools of thought, it is obvious that the "Complete Book of Zhuzi" is more high-end and atmospheric.

But Yun Yao doesn't need high-end, she just wants to be down-to-earth, so she said: "The reason why it is "The Complete Book of One Hundred Schools" is not only because it represents the hundreds of schools of thought and the contention of a hundred schools, but also hopes that this set of books can enter the homes of the people, even Tian Shelang can enter the court through this set of books." ”

"Your Highness has a big mind and a broad mind, which is beyond my reach." Listening to the princess's grand goal, Wu Meiniang bowed to the wind.

Printing has been made by Yun Yao, and in the future, the Tang Dynasty will definitely not only be able to leave famous stories through the ages, but there must also be many buried Tang people who can also print their masterpieces through printing and pass them on to future generations.

The popularity of Tang poetry benefited from the maturity of engraving printing, and now Yun Yao has invented more powerful movable type printing, and has injected vitality into the entire publishing and printing industry through newspapers, and now there will be more poets to leave their works in the era of the Tang Dynasty, and this era of poetry must become more charming.

After leaving Chang'an and being sent to the county, Li Chengqian didn't feel that the Tang Dynasty was the era of poetry at all, because the environment in the county was really too hard, and he still felt the difficulties before he went to the poorest county. I can't eat or drink, I can't wear anything, anyway, this can't do that, and even the carriage and horses are difficult.

Although I have made psychological preparations, I am still taken aback by the difficult environment, this is still the county, I haven't gone down to the township and village, I really don't know what kind of world it will be.

But since he is here, Li Chengqian has to make some merits, but he can't let the emperor's brother surpass him. First of all, we should consider starting with water conservancy and transportation, without which there is no way to talk about development.

Of course, it is good to repair water conservancy and transportation, there are many areas in the county to repair, where to start repairing, and how to repair this can all require money, even if manual labor can be regarded as conscription, but it is okay to repair the city wall, it is really necessary to repair water conservancy in one village by one, I am afraid that it is not so easy.

Everyone knows that water conservancy needs to be repaired and transportation needs to be rectified, but knowing it does not mean that it can be done.
