After the court meeting ended and the main generals were decided, Qin Zhao did not continue to inquire about this aspect of affairs for the time being, and directly handed over to the military department for a month to transfer.

Now he still has a lot of things to do, and sending troops is not something that can be done with lip service, and it needs to be coordinated by officials from the six ministries.

As for Li Ping, he also asked him what he thought. If the other side is unwilling to participate in the war, or feels that they cannot cope with the northern battlefield, there is no need to force it.

There are so many generals, it's a big deal to call Nan Jia, or let Chen Zheng, Bai Xu and other generals who have had previous experience in fighting with Bai Yu's alien race lead the troops.

Of course, the final result of the inquiry was that Li Ping was very willing to accept the task.

Since the last time Donghai County lost the battle and was transferred to the south by Qin Zhao to "retire", he has always wanted to return to the core of the military.

This time I finally have the opportunity, so I naturally won't let it go.

Even after hearing that Yan Qingming had made a military order, he promised that he would break the White Feather Alien Race this time.

Qin Zhao didn't care about this. Since Li Ping wants to go on the expedition, it doesn't hurt to let him try.

After all, he is a veteran, and there should be no major problems.

Anyway, this time he was still counting on Yan Qingming's achievements, and the others were just adding to the head.

I have to say that Qin Zhao really likes the young man of the Yan family.

Talented, loyal, and characterful. After being a famous family again, he was born innocent.

The most important thing is that he does not have a good relationship with other people, which is the so-called "lonely minister".

Because of physical reasons, Yan Qingming has been very favored by his family since he was a child. Although he is very smart and talented, he doesn't like to read, so he naturally can't pee with other powerful children.

The descendants of other nobles either practiced martial arts or studied.

Only Yan Qingming, who didn't do anything when he was a child, couldn't look down on each other with his peers.

But he didn't do nothing as a kid either. Since he was a child, he has watched his grandfather Yan often fight with his sister Yan Qingjun, and sometimes go out with the army.

However, since he can remember, the civil war of the Terran race has ended, so he still follows Yan Qingjun everywhere.

I have seen her expel the white feather alien race, but I have also seen the alien race kill the Terran soldiers and border people, and I have an unspeakable hatred for the alien race in my heart.

This expedition can be said to be the opportunity he has been longing for for a long time.

......

Discussions about sending foreign troops are still raging these days.

But after all, the popularity was gradually overshadowed by the limelight of the "Creation List" and the "Asking Dao List", after all, the latter has more to do with ordinary people.

Ordinary people have no right to intervene in the national war, but the voting rights of the two lists, especially the rules that everyone can sign up for the "Creation List", make ordinary people also have a sense of participation, and the former is naturally incomparable.

However, the folk rumors and rumors have nothing to do with Qin Zhao, and it is enough to look at the means of the Propaganda Committee in this regard.

He himself will further deepen the reform.

During this period, the primary selection places for the "Creation List" and the "Asking Dao List" have been determined.

Among them, the projects of the Ministry of Engineering that are not included in the "Creation List", that is, the research of Mo Yu, Qin Xuan, and those in the farmer's family will not be affected.

These people all belong to the "privileged class", and they can use the "Great Yan Array" and the "Dining Tower" without restrictions, so naturally they no longer need to participate in the competition.

To be honest, the form of voting, which seems fair on the surface, actually has great limitations.

Ordinary people may understand the powerful convenience of the "leyline rail car", but I am afraid it is difficult to understand what the "steam engine" is a cross-era invention, nor can they understand the importance of "Confucianism to establish a heart and a destiny".

So there's no need to go through this process.

It is enough to have Qin Zhao's concession.

The 180 places he left behind are precisely for this reason.

In addition, some research results require a certain degree of confidentiality, and whether or not to disclose them afterwards also depends on the situation, and it is not suitable for everyone to know.

At this time, Qin Zhao was in the Zhangtai Hall looking at the statistical list submitted by Yu Rui, the head of the household department.

Among them, the content of the "Creation List" is full of dozens of pages of paper, containing tens of thousands of items, and this has stopped the result of not knowing how many unrealistic ideas, which makes him a little speechless.

At that time, he said to Yu Rui: "There is too much content, you have to consider the efficiency of voting." You look for someone from the Ministry of Works, and choose it internally, not more than 2,000. I'll pick some of them and operate them when the time comes, and find a way for them to pass it. ”

After sending him away, Qin Zhao began to study the dozens of pages of paper.

And took a cinnabar pen from the side and marked it on it.

However, the more he looked at him, the tighter his brows wrinkled, "These people are really rich in imagination...... It's a pity that most of them are crooked melons and cracked dates......"

Having said that, there were still some ideas that were very good, and even a few of them made Qin Zhao a little surprised.

For example, the "poetic rhythm" from the Miaoyin Pavilion top brand Chun Qier Miaoyin Fairy won his heart.

"At that time, I was not mistaken, this girl was a perceptive person. She may not really understand my deep meaning, but in the end, she is very affectionate, and from just one poem, she discovered the deep power of the human language. And combine their own advantages to find a very ingenious entry point......"

After thinking about it, he drew a circle on this one.

In fact, with the popularity of Miaoyin, as well as the popularity of today's poetry, plus the addition of that poem. There should be no problem with this content passing the selection.

But in order to avoid surprises, he still had to make a little extra note.

After I finished writing, I continued to look behind me and randomly marked a few that were not bad.

He knew in his heart that he couldn't go too far by opening the back door, at most he would choose twenty or thirty, and the rest would really vote.

Looking at it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and another piece of content appeared that surprised him extremely -

"Wai Dan Technique! Today's cultivation method can strengthen the body and make people's eyes clear, but it is lost in excessive murderous energy, and is often used to fight for a short time; The doctor's method can cure the disease and save people, but it fails to prescribe the right medicine, and it cannot consolidate its roots; The method of military formation and military qi is the supreme weapon of our human race, but it is too difficult to lose, and it is difficult for non-military gods to exert their full strength.

"All of the above are unique characteristics of our human race, but they all have their drawbacks. One of the most critical points is that manpower will eventually be poor, and no matter how talented the world is, it will not escape the washing of time.

"I want to develop a method of condensing the Outer Dan, mixing special fairy herbs and elixirs to consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan for the people of the human race, and increase their lifespan. Now that I have achieved a small success, I hope to take this opportunity to complete the last crucial steps.

“……”

"Awesome, awesome!" Seeing this, Qin Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

Ordinary people today don't know about the Dharma for the time being. To be able to find a way to prolong life from other aspects, and even to form a complete theory, is by no means extraordinary.

Moreover, it does not mean that after the popularization of the cultivation method, everyone will really be able to live a long life, and this "outer pill technique" will be useless.

Whether it is "The Legalist Town Prison Sutra" or "Xuanyuan One Qi True Yang Jue", it is not something that can be achieved simply.

The former looks at understanding, and the latter looks at the roots. Needless to say, the former is not to say that it is difficult for those who do not have great wisdom to go further.

Even if it's the latter, it's not so easy to achieve something. If you miss the best cultivation stage, or if you can't continue to break through the realm in a short period of time, you won't be able to take the step of "refining and refining qi" at all.

This "Wai Dan Technique" is equivalent to prolonging the foundation building time, which is equivalent to greatly lowering the threshold for cultivation, and it will definitely have a great effect in the future.

After he marked this content, he looked at the signature below - "Luozhou medical family heir, Xu Ren." ”

"This one, I'm afraid it can be in the top ten."

Qin Zhao's annotation at this time can only ensure that he will enter the list smoothly.

As for whether it can be ranked in the top ten, it depends on the final popularity, and there is no need to engage in any dark box operations in this regard.

Without thinking about it, he continued to look back, expecting Qin Zhao, who was still surprised, but found something that made him cry and laugh a little.

"Cangyu Snow Sculpture Demon Claw Piercing Divine Skill! Attack with the momentum of the strange beast cangyu snow eagle, and the qi and intention are combined, locking the enemy ......"

The key lies in the signature behind - Yan Qingming.

"Grass." The corners of Qin Zhao's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't know what to say.

Undoubtedly, a closer look at the content doesn't mean much.

"Yours is yours. If you want to be on the list, at least take out something real, this bells and whistles, fools? ”

But the name is so awesome, maybe it can really get a lot of votes. For a while, he didn't know if the kid was doing this on purpose.

As for the four exotic beasts purchased by Zhou Yang and others, the blue feather snow eagle, the two-tailed fox, the emerald spirit snake, and the rock bear, because they have some special needs for the living environment, they are now all raised in different places.

The College of Agriculture is in charge of taking care of the students and finding out their habits. If you want to develop further, you have to wait until you can exchange it for the [Shanhai Zeguo] in the future.

The sub-Gu of the Rebel Gu, Qin Zhao had tried to implant these strange beasts. But I found that it didn't work, and there was no way for the two to coexist.

Some are Gu dead beasts, and some are Gu dead beasts.

It seems that this thing can only be used by the human race, and it is estimated that it is some kind of special symbiosis.

After spending a lot of time, he finally read it all.

In addition to the above "Poetry Rhythm" and "Wai Dan Technique", there are also some good semi-finished products.

Such as "exoskeleton armor", "city-destroying crossbow", "hundred iron smelting" and so on, all made his eyes shine.

The key is not whether these ideas can be formed in the end, but that since these people have already researched some results and have semi-finished products, it means that the contributors are talented.

Even if it doesn't succeed this time, joining the Ministry of Engineering in the future will make some achievements.

So no matter what the final result is, Qin Zhao will not be disappointed.

And in the process, there was another person who turned in a strange technique - "breathing technique".

This exercise is naturally useful, but what makes him care is the name of the contributor - Qin Wuwu.

This person is the pavilion master of the "Lingyan Pavilion", that is, the assassin organization where Zi used to belong.

In fact, Qin Zhao didn't have any hatred for Qin Wuwu. After all, he didn't do anything else except send him a talent from Ghost Valley.

Now that the other party has taken the initiative to submit this magic technique, it is obvious that he has the intention of surrendering, and he can deal with it together in the future.

After everything was done, Qin Zhao called the guards and handed her the marked list to her, and asked her to send it directly to the household department.

There are a total of twenty-three specially approved ideas, and the remaining places will wait for the final vote.

As for the "Ask the Question" side, he didn't ask. All the sons and daughters have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they all have their own protégés and apprentices, and he didn't think about being a referee himself.

If you want to intervene, or even decide in a word, then there is no need to set up this so-called "asking list" in the first place.

In addition to the two lists, other reform policies are also continuing.

In terms of agriculture, the low-end version of Xiansu has now also achieved results and has begun to be put on the market.

However, because most farmers are more cautious, and Qin Zhao did not carry out forced planting, the initial promotion effect was not particularly good.

He can actually understand the cautious attitude of ordinary homesteaders. Millet seeds cost money to buy, and the price is not cheap.

The farmers themselves have no experience in planting - these millet seeds are extraordinary at first glance, and they are not suitable for planting, so what if the final harvest is not good and they lose money?

These middle peasants, the whole family points to a field to survive, who dares to gamble easily.

Qin Zhao was not in a hurry about this, he directly arranged for the imperial merchant to be in charge of this matter.

As long as it can be successfully planted, there is no problem with subsequent benefits, but someone needs to try it first.

However, in addition to the imperial merchants, the most active were some landlords with more land.

They live without worry, and they can take some of the risks. I think that since this thing is researched by the Ministry of Industry, it must not be bad, and it doesn't hurt to try it.

You can still sell face to the government, why not?

But in any case, the promotion of Xiansu cannot be completed overnight. During this period, it is necessary for the Terran people to slowly get used to it and discover the benefits.

Before that, there was a long period of trial and error.

In fact, this is just a microcosm of statecraft. It takes time for all policies to unfold, and once you are impatient, good things will become bad things.

Because of this, Qin Zhao did not use coercion or inducement to blindly implement it, but gave his people ample time to accept it.

When the time comes, as productivity increases and grain production increases by leaps and bounds, we can start to replace planting with part-time jobs.

In fact, this is also a direction of transformation for the smallholder economy in the future.

But it's too early to think about this, we need to take it one step at a time.

Compared with the low-profile version of Xiansu, the distribution of newspapers and periodicals was very smooth. The common people were also quick to embrace this new thing.

In this day and age, people don't have much entertainment.

When visiting the Qinglou, you have to be a dignitary to have a chance.

Listening to music in the fence, or watching a play in a teahouse, you have to be a wealthy family with some savings to experience it.

And the homesteaders, who account for the largest number of people, live a tight life on their own, so naturally they have no money or time to do these things.

Weekday entertainment, that is, neighbors sitting together and chatting, or playing stone cards, nothing else.

The appearance of newspapers and periodicals is equivalent to raining down on the barren spiritual desert of these ordinary people, and it has become popular in an instant.

Even if they did not know how to read before, with the book "Literacy", which is the same as the dictionary, they can also learn all the written information in the newspaper and periodical through searching.

It can be said that the influence of newspapers and periodicals is far beyond Qin Zhao's imagination.

In addition to "farming" and "fortification", he did not let go of business.

However, the reform in this area is only related to a small number of people, and many people are not even aware of it.

That is to form a "business alliance".

Led by the imperial merchants, a large number of private merchants were gathered to exchange goods and increase the mobility of materials.

At the same time, to a certain extent, private businessmen are supported to start their own businesses. Replace the business mode of large businessmen with "business alliances" to prevent the emergence of monopolies.

The core competitiveness of Shangmeng is the "leyline rail car". Of course, non-members of the business alliance can also use the rail car, but the cost will be higher.

In fact, after having the rail car, Qin Zhao is equivalent to grasping the initiative.

There is no need to use political or military means, which has already made the imperial merchants have absolute competitiveness and easily obtain core leadership.

In addition, public schools in various places have also begun to be established in various states and counties, as he promised at the beginning.

These schools are called "county schools", and those who can be selected to study in the future can be called "children".

The process of building a school is much easier than many people think.

There is no shortage of money in Great Xia. There is no shortage of craftsmen.

And the most difficult teacher is also not a difficult thing for today's Daxia.

In the past, talented people either thought about becoming officials, and if they didn't become officials, they felt that they didn't learn enough and continued to study at home.

I don't even have enough time to study, so I naturally don't have the heart to teach and educate people.

Except for a few university scholars who really have no intention of becoming officials and are extremely intelligent, unless they are really short of money and it is difficult to make ends meet, few scholars will choose to become teachers.

But now the situation is different.

First of all, these schools are public schools, not private schools. Being a teacher in this is officially recognized, not the kind of wild fox Zen.

Secondly, being a teacher is a way to cultivate hope. Especially since the Legalist disciples of the Han Guiren line of Donghai County have entered the court one after another, many scholars have found another way.

With knowledge, there is popularity. The peach and plum are all over the world, and many of the disciples have become famous. If you go to be an official again, will the emperor not want you?

Let's take Han Guiren as an example. With his reputation at that time, even if he didn't have any real talent and learning, if he wanted to be an official, it would be easy to become a prime minister.

Finally, and most crucially. Being a teacher is definitely very helpful for the literati to "establish the Tao"!

After studying in the "Tianxia School Palace" for these days, basically all literati understood the meaning of those words that Qin Zhao once said.

The so-called "establishment of the way" is by no means something that can be achieved by studying with a single mind. If you want to break through the traps of your predecessors and become your own, you must link theory with practice before you have a chance.

This practical process can be for officials, study tours, self-realization, or teaching. The method is not limited, it simply depends on the individual's choice and talent.

However, according to Qin Zhao's own feelings, for ordinary literati, the best way is to become an official, followed by being a teacher. Yes, he thinks that the effect of being a teacher is better than traveling to a school, and it is better than looking for a university to seek advice.

Asking for advice from a master will naturally help. But the problem is that other people's paths may not be in line with you, if you are not qualified enough to discern, and you are even likely to be misled.

Being a teacher is different, and many of the beginners' remarks may not be profound, but many of them are instructive.

Teachers also benefit from answering questions.

Don't think that many people don't have wisdom, they just haven't studied systematically.

Because of this, it is easier to break through the shackles of predecessors with unrestricted thinking.
