Shi Dangdang said proudly: "The school and political system of the Tang Kingdom is permeated in every village, and all school-age children, regardless of gender, must enter the school. ”

"If the elderly are illiterate, if they take the initiative to learn and can learn 500 commonly used words, they will be rewarded with a set of blue and white porcelain tableware, and if they can know 1,000 words, they will be rewarded with another sheep."

"Therefore, everyone in the Tang Kingdom wants to learn, and everyone can read."

The two brothers wanted to say if you could stop blowing it, but Shi Dangdang's confident appearance and various rumors forced them to believe in this possibility.

In fact, Shi Gandang really bragged, and the literacy rate of young people in the Tang Kingdom was indeed very high. People over the age of 30 are seriously less motivated to learn, and the literacy rate over the age of 40 has fallen off a cliff.

This is related to the social atmosphere at that time, and thirty did not study art. Later, when the Tang Kingdom became rich, Wen Yi proposed such a reward.

However, this reward is only available to people over the age of 40 and is only valid for five years.

But one thing is indeed true, the soldiers of the Tang State can read and write, and the recruitment of soldiers is also prioritized for literacy. Even if you can't read, you will be forced to study after enlisting in the army.

Shi Dangdang seems to be unreserved, but he is actually very measured. For example, he only took two people to visit the superstructure, but did not go to the bottom to see the specific structure of the battleship.

And these superstructures, to be honest, no country other than the Tang State can do it, not even imitation.

Will other countries' armies build recreation rooms and libraries? Will give soldiers a single bed? Will a special canteen be built? Can literacy be done in the army?

After that, he took the two of them to briefly inspect the troops on the ship, and let them see with their own eyes the spirit of the Tang soldiers and the equipment they were wearing.

Not to mention the spirit and spirit, the weapons and equipment are indeed luxurious and make them blush.

Just that piece of iron-inlaid armor, which only the commander of the army of the Jin State could wear, ordinary soldiers could only wear leather armor, bamboo armor or iron vests.

Here, iron-clad armor is standard, and soldiers are also extravagant to wear silk vests......

After reading it, the two of them only had two words in their hearts, luxury.

The soldiers of the Tang State are too valuable...... But many times, money often represents combat effectiveness. If you really want to fight, not to mention that this iron-clad armor can make the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom die of headaches.

Tang Guo is rich in the world, and it really deserves its reputation.

However, Shi Gandang seemed to feel that the shock of the two was not big enough, and said: "The sailor should not wear too heavy when fighting mainly on the water, so he wears lighter iron-inlaid armor. ”

"The army's armor is the thickest, mainly with 50 catties of chain armor, and the cavalry is mainly armored cavalry."

The reason why he introduced it in such detail was actually deliberately misleading the other party. Let them think that although the Tang army is very powerful, it has not exceeded the normal range.

The advent of firearms means that these armors are basically useless, and when firearms become popular, all iron armor will be eliminated.

In a few years, the firearms army of the Tang State will come out of the mountains, and it will deal a fatal blow to all enemies.

Although these two people are Niangniang's own brothers, so what? They are still the children of the scholar clan of the Jin Kingdom, and there is a high probability that they will be enemies in the future.

Since it is possible that it is an enemy, it is normal to dig a pit.

One side wants to spy on some more intelligence, and the other side deliberately spreads some real but backward intelligence. The two sides are intrigued, but they talk about unexpected cooperation, which is also rare.

Xie Jing proposed to go to other ships to have a look, and Shi Gandang readily agreed.

The two visited many ships and found that the overall situation of the Tang Army was similar to that of the first flagship ship.

Explaining that the layout of that ship was not a special case, but a general situation, which added to the credibility of what Shi Dangdang said.

However, when they were about to go to a certain area, they were stopped: "It is a forbidden area, and no one is allowed to approach it without the king's order." ”

The two brothers Xie Jing immediately thought of that new technology, and looking at the dozen or so ships from afar, the layout was indeed different from other ships.

Both of them were people who knew how to measure, and even though they were very curious, they didn't try to find out. I know enough today, and I have to be interesting and know how to advance and retreat.

In the evening, the three uncles and nephews gathered intelligence, and the final result made the feelings of the three more complicated.

Xie An sighed: "Okay, the spy is over here, accompany your eldest sister in the next few days, don't make her sad." ”

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes." ”

Although each is its own master, they don't want to have a casual conflict with their eldest sister, at least not yet.

……

The next thing is the moment of simply enjoying family affection, and the family is very happy.

The happiest are Xiao Li and Xiao Heng, who suddenly have so many relatives, and they all dream with laughter.

Xie An's identity was inconvenient to disappear for too long, so he left by boat on the third day.

Ruan Rong and the others have been staying here for nearly ten days, and they reluctantly said goodbye when they saw that the year was approaching.

As a queen, the New Year's celebration is a must, and she has to appear to worship the heavens and ancestors to entertain the noblewoman.

Ruan Rong also has to show up here, before she used the excuse of being sick to close the door, if she didn't show up during the New Year, people outside would think that she was critically ill or something, and if she didn't do it, she would be helped.

They all knew that this parting was likely to be a farewell, and naturally it was inevitable to cry with a hug.

Even Xie Jing and Xie Xuan's eyes were red, and they were very depressed on the way back, and they had to comfort their sad mother in turn.

Xie Xuan is really not good at comforting people, mainly because Xie Jing is doing it, he only occasionally says a few words.

After being appeased by the brothers, Ruan Rong's mood gradually stabilized.

Before the two of them could be happy, when they returned home, they found that Xie An didn't seem to be right.

His eyes were red, his hair was messy, and he had a foul smell on his body, which was obviously caused by staying up late for a long time without washing.

Growing up so big, it was the first time they saw their uncle so sloppy, and they were shocked.

"Uncle, what happened?"

Xie An glanced at them and said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay, look at these books and you'll understand." I'll go rest for a while and wait until I wake up. ”

Seeing that his mood was quite stable, the two of them were worried about their hearts.

Then I picked up the books curiously and read them, which was unbelievable...... They finally understood why Xie An was like this.

Subversion, a complete subversion of the existing rule system, if it is really written in the book, the noble family is simply a heinous humanoid locust.

And then they also had insomnia.

Xie An slept until noon the next day, and when he saw the two haggard brothers, he said, "Have you read the book? ”

Xie Jing nodded heavily, "I only had time to roughly flip through it...... Shocking, it's just a big rebellion. ”

Xie An said: "In the Jin Kingdom, this law is indeed a great rebellion, but in the Tang Kingdom, it is we who are contrary to the law." What I ask is, what do you think would happen if this law was actually implemented? ”
