The changes here have the greatest impact on the surrounding countries, and the impact is mainly twofold. The first is the most direct military threat - you have been causing trouble on the border of Asahi before, and this is time to settle the score, and the second threat is politics - the political approach adopted by Asahi has caused panic and fear in the surrounding countries, the nobles have begun to tremble, and the merchants and commoners have begun to prepare.

In the Song Kingdom, the monarch had begun to panic, and when the Xu Kingdom rose with unprecedented politics and speed, this old royal court, which had been fighting with the Dali royal court for hundreds of years, began to make all kinds of bad remarks. Some nobles have begun to prepare to run away, and the backbone is reorganizing the army, the merchants are moving in secret, and the commoners are beginning to be emotional...... Country, it's starting to be chaotic!

In the face of these circumstances, the monarch of the Song State was powerless, and politics had begun to get out of control. The comprehensive defeat of the Zajia and the Li Zongfa family in the Xu Kingdom made the two families have to temporarily rein in in a little; 11 masters of the same sun and moon, this loss can be called earth-shattering, even if it is a war between the human race and the barbarian race in the last two hundred years, the death of the entire human race is only less than 20 masters of the sun and moon Tonghui; and now a conflict has broken 11, not to mention the miscellaneous family and the Li Zongfa family, even if others hear it, they feel their hearts tremble. This is the master of the sun and the moon!

And after the defeat of the Za family and the Li Zongfa family, of course, the Mo family had to settle accounts with the monarch of the Song State -- we spent so much effort to support your ancestors back then, and you repay us like this! No, all the accounts, debts, grievances, and resentments should be settled. In fact, with the comparison of Xuguo, the Mo family was already very dissatisfied with the situation of Song Guo. The result of dissatisfaction is - give up!

As a result, the Mo family gave an order to the Song State - you better quickly pack up and surrender to the Xu Kingdom, so that you can save your life, if you wait until the Xu Kingdom comes. You don't know what will happen to you.

These words really frightened the Song Kingdom, which had been stable under the protection of the Mo family for thousands of years -- this meant that it had lost its sharpness. In addition, after a period of messy tossing, Song Guo lost his spirit. But after all, it has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is also very deep-rooted, so although it has lost its sharpness, this Song State did not simply give up, but said something to consider and consider, anyway, it was to drag it out as much as possible.

In fact, Song Guo also has another luxury. I hope that the miscellaneous family and the Li Zongfa family can make a move. Although it is said that the Song State has always been inclined to the Mo family before, and it is also a country supported by the Mo family, but when it comes to domination and so on, it is impossible to count; no ruler likes to have someone on top of his head! Xiao Hao is the same - it's okay to cooperate, but don't give me a finger in my country.

It's just that Xiao Hao has this courage, but others may not! Xiao Hao implemented all the new policies. Even the Han Sectarian and Mo families have to study honestly.

At the same time. Cai Guo in the north of Xuguo also began to panic; unlike the Song State, Cai Guo was similar to the original Dali royal court; Cai Guo and Dali were tied together to compete with Song State. Now that Song Guodu has begun to soften his feet, let alone Cai Guo. It's just that today's Cai Guo is also difficult to ride a tiger, Cai Guo is behind the Li Zongfa family, and Cai Guo itself is also supported by the Li Zongfa family, and it is an extravagant hope to have a chance to surrender openly like the Song State.

On the contrary, the Chen State in the south of the Asahi Kingdom has always been relatively peaceful, and not long after Xiao Hao's victory, the Chen State in the south sent an envoy to the Asahi Kingdom represented by their northern commander Nangong Zhi. And prepare to participate in the founding ceremony after the Xuguo as a representative of Chen Guo.

Between the kingdom of Xu and the kingdom of Chen, there is a land of mountains, forests, swamps, and miasma. There are only a few places to pass, and the two sides get along very harmoniously. In addition, the nascent Asahi Country does not have much strength, so the two sides coexist peacefully. However, this Nangong Zhi is not just here to see, but to explore the atmosphere and learn from the experience - Xuguo's new policy has shown great strength, so the surrounding countries must have seen the crisis and opportunity here, and it is easy to understand that someone has come to learn from it.

When Nangong Zhi set foot on the territory of Xuguo, Xiao Hao's soldiers had already completed the recovery of Baizhou in the north, and so far Xiao Hao and Xuguo had completely taken over the territory of the original Dali royal court; but after the alternation of the old and the new and the war, the population was reduced by one-tenth in just two years! Countless people were numb in this war, especially in the three northern states, and they openly reduced almost all the civilians to slavery, took what they wanted, and trampled on them wantonly. I don't know how many families were torn apart, crying and weeping, so much so that when the three northern states were completely stabilized and the trial began, countless nobles were eaten alive by angry commoners...... I really ate it......

However, Xu Guo's actions also frightened the surrounding countries even more, especially the Song Kingdom and Cai Kingdom, and the nobles suddenly found out in their conscience that they knew that they would treat slaves well, and they began to beautify themselves and began to paste gold leaf on their faces.

And after a little recuperation, Xuguo actually began to send troops to crusade against the north and the west; although Xuguo is also relatively difficult now, but it can't let the enemy have enough preparations, so it is inevitable to send troops - not to mention that Haizhou doesn't know how many small moves he has made behind his back, and civilians and businessmen in many places have been rebelled, so they are waiting to give the enemy a counterattack at a critical time.

Of course, Xiao Hao, who is too smart, will definitely not only have such a simple purpose, but also a deeper and darker purpose. Think about it, when every city occupied by Xiao Hao was caused by the uprising of civilians and merchants, what would those remaining nobles and kings think? I have to say that Xiao Hao's hand is very beautiful, although the political methods are still a little rusty, but they can also play with ordinary enemies between applause.

In fact, it is needless to say that when a large number of commoners and merchants revolt, these nobles and kings will basically use very drastic measures: control the commoners and detain the merchants. The consequence of this is that the country will be completely chaotic and will fall rapidly into the abyss. There are no merchants to circulate wealth, and the whole society is in chaos.

And at this moment, the army of Xuguo, with the help of local civilians and merchants, is simply in a no-man's land. The thick walls could not hold back the army, because many of the low-ranking soldiers of the common people, or some soldiers who had been half-threatened and half-bribed by the merchants, would open the gates of the city and open the doors for thieves! At some point. Isn't the powerful power of wealth another kind of "supernatural power", didn't you say that money can make ghosts grind!

In Yanzikou, Song Guoxiongguan, who had been confronting the royal court for hundreds of years, did not even survive for three days, so he opened the city gate and surrendered. Then the army triumphed all the way, as soon as it arrived at one place, it immediately opened a warehouse and released grain - it was not their own anyway. The soldiers of Xuguo were generous to others, and they divided the granaries one by one, leaving a certain amount of military rations. All the aristocratic bullies were detained. Waiting for the later trial and investigation, those who dare to resist will be killed on the spot, and there is absolutely no hesitation.

Later, local businessmen were organized to temporarily lead and manage and stabilize the regime. For the first time, the businessmen really came into contact with the management level, and the businessmen burst out with unprecedented passion. Xiao Hao played a good hand of cards and used the strength of the locals to conquer the locals! All that Xu Guo needed to send was a spearhead team. The rebellious merchants will certainly not rebel again under any circumstances - for there is no way back. You can only follow Xuguo all the way to the black!

Under such a policy. The territory of Xuguo is expanding rapidly, and when it is approaching the New Year, Haizhou is stunned to increase the area of two states again! This miraculous expansion speed has caused fear and panic in the surrounding area. In this environment, the delegation from the southern Chen Kingdom respectfully came to Xishan Town.

Standing in the distance of Xishan Town, looking at the criss-crossing roads, looking at the bridges that span the river gorge like a rainbow, and watching the mighty caravan flow, Nangong Zhi was a little stupid for a while! Although this kind of situation has been seen more than once, almost every big city can see it, but every time he sees it, he feels shocked.

Especially here in Asahi Country. The most prosperous building I have seen must be the school! The school is no longer the backyard of a single school, a hundred flowers bloom here, and even the Miscellaneous Family and the Li Patriarchal Family have people giving lectures here! It is simply unimaginable that with the relationship between the Xuguo and the Miscellaneous Family and the Li Patriarchal Family, there would be people from these two schools who would give lectures here in the Xuguo! In addition to the Miscellaneous Family and the Li Patriarchal Family, there are also Confucianists, Mohists, Han Patriarchs, Zongheng Scholars, Famous Scholars, Doctors, Farmers, and Hundred Craftsmen! This small Xuguo has miraculously gathered all the influential schools in the world to give lectures here! And the students here are actually free of charge, all the expenses are paid by the state, and it is illegal not to send children to school!

For the time being, in Xuguo, only the Mo family, the Han sect family, and the Akiba Wutong Mountain can open the mountain gate and collect their own exclusive disciples.

Looking at the faces full of smiles and listening to the relaxed and cheerful laughter, Nangong Zhi vaguely understood: Xiao Hao was able to expand Haizhou in the land of projectiles into a big country with 11 states now and unprecedented cohesion in less than three years, not because Xiao Hao had any exaggerated ability, but because he had found some kind of "thing"! This kind of thing made the entire Xu Kingdom "live".

There are no city walls in Xuguo, neither the walls of the Great Wall nor the walls of the cities! There are only big roads, commoners and businessmen who put gratitude in their hearts. The drive for wealth and happiness led to the spontaneous efforts of merchants and commoners, where there were no slaves, where the nobility was curled up, where officials were efficient and incorruptible, and the whole country was in order under the administration of the law.

Perhaps, Haizhou can become the current Xuguo, not just as simple as the surface, not as simple as simply freeing slaves, imprisoning nobles, valuing merchants, and governing the country according to law. There are more core things!" Nangong Zhi kept one question after another in his heart, and was ready to ask the relevant personnel of Xuguo.

"Welcome. "Far away, Blue Ocean led its own personnel to greet him. There is also a large ceremonial troupe next to it, which is responsible for playing music, etc., and in this era, the envoy is not just a face-to-face, and there are a series of complicated etiquette and so on. Fortunately, Xiao Hao doesn't have to worry about these things, and it is enough to hand them over to the relevant departments.

"Oh, the name of the Prime Minister of the Blue Sea is like thunder. "This Nangong Zhi is completely self-cooked.

After some etiquette, the two completed the meeting ceremony.

"Before that, can I go to your school and have a look?" Nangong Zhi, the old fox, saw the school at first sight.

"No problem. "Lan Hai doesn't care, this school is placed here in such a bright and honest way. It also widely invited teachers from all over China to come to work, and also promoted compulsory education in the whole country, which itself has no secrecy. Even in the schools of Asahi Gunuk, you can see interracial teaching. Not many aliens are immune to the precious wealth of Fortune Coins!

............

Nangong Zhi was dressed elegantly, and scolded secretly as he walked - the cunning blue ocean, the damn blue ocean, this time the calculating old man remembered! It turned out that Nangong Zhi wanted to enter the school in Xishan Town to have a look, but how to enter was a problem. It doesn't matter what identity you are if you just look at it, but if you want to observe it for a long time, you need to arrange it well. And the identity that Lan Hai arranged for Nangong Zhi is the teacher of the art of war course......! No salary!

Without a salary, he still has to give lectures to the children of Haizhou! He has lost a lot! In order not to be ashamed and not to lose his prestige. Nangong Zhi stayed up late to sort out some information.

While walking, Nangong Zhi scolded secretly, why do you embarrass me as an old man, a prime minister. It's not far from the school though. After a few steps, they came to the school gate, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on the face of the old fox Nangong Zhi - just with a little stiffness and gloom.

There is also a stone tablet at the entrance of the school, on which are engraved two lines: The state has the responsibility and duty to correctly educate the people, and the citizens have the right and duty to receive the correct education, and the people have the right to refuse any incorrect, illegal and immoral wrong education.

The simple words made Nangong Zhi's heart tremble. Along the way. Nangong Zhi although he saw the school. But not up close, but this time it was a closer look. Simple, even vulgar words in the eyes of the literati, exude the brilliance of the soul.

And under this stele, there are a lot of green grass leaves, plum petals, etc., which look a little messy, but it can be seen that this is a part of the mind, and they are placed very neatly.

There was a cheerful voice, and several teenage children, both men and women, walked in groups. Dressed neatly and neatly, with a bag on his back. Everyone has a small piece of grass or flower petals in their hands. It's not easy to find green grass and flower petals in winter, and these kids aren't some kind of supernatural masters. I saw these children go to the bottom of the stone monument and bow respectfully, put down the things in their hands, carefully arrange them neatly, and then happily enter the school gate, where a fifty-year-old man looks at them with a smile.

"Hello Grandpa Xiang. "Grandpa Xiang is so ......" Several children saw the old man and immediately greeted happily.

"Good, good. Haha......" The old man laughed with satisfaction. For a while, a different kind of warmth spread at the entrance of the school.

When the students left, the old man who was watching the gate suddenly looked at Nangong Zhi, and the eyes of the two were sparkling.

"It's actually a general who has been on the battlefield!At least an acquired master!" Nangong Zhi didn't say anything about the surprise in his heart at this time. As a commander-in-chief, of course, you can feel the aura from the other party that only belongs to surviving from the killing battlefield.

"Nangong Zhi?" the gatekeeper asked.

"It's me. ”

"Come with me. After the old man finished speaking, he walked inside.

"You...... You, a general, are actually guarding the door here?" After walking a few steps, Nangong Zhi really couldn't help it.

"Guarding the gates of the country is just as important as guarding the gates of the school!"

"Important, how can the school gate be as important as the national gate!" Nangong Zhi was not convinced.

The veteran smiled slightly, "If the country is lost, we can fight back." But what if the gates of morality and wisdom are broken? I will keep all the dark things out of the school gates, so that there will be only joy and light in the school.

In Xuguo, the gates of every school are guarded by a general!"

Nangong Zhi suddenly stopped, and the shock in his heart couldn't be stopped. Turning his head a little stiffly, looking at the students who jumped happily, looking at the unknown forms of movement, looking at the students and teachers who were reading in the snow with books in their hands, an indescribable emotion rose from the bottom of my heart. Suddenly, I had the idea of teaching and educating people here!

At this time, Nangong Zhi's gaze at the surrounding environment changed completely, and his heart was even more turbulent - this Xuguo education for students is completely free, and until the age of 16, he will spend the learning stage in school. In this process, the school is responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and civilians do not have to spend a penny. The construction of schools, the hiring of teachers, the provision of clothing, food, housing, transportation, and the four treasures of the study are all directly responsible for the state. For the time being, the Ministry of Education is in charge of Xiao Hao's mother, Li Yufeng.

Nangong Zhi had an approximate figure just a little calculation in his heart, according to Chen Guo's condition, such an education. A student costs about four to seven thousand copper plates, or four to seven taels of silver, a year -- not counting anything else, such as the quality of teachers, and so on, but Xuguo promises to bear this part of the cost forever, and every child over the age of five must be enrolled in school and educated until the age of 16! All this is a truly astronomical amount.

And in such a school, the gatekeeper is a general - those who can be counted as generals have at least led a team of more than 1,000 people to fight. What a handiwork!

But Nangong Zhi still didn't give up. "Are there people who don't need to go to school? For example, some wealthy merchants, aristocrats, officials, etc. After all, these people can afford to hire teachers alone. If we unify education in this way, we won't be able to do everything. ”

"No!" the old general looked up haughtily, "whether it is a merchant, a nobleman, a royal family, or a commoner. All the children are here. Even the Xiao family and the Li family sent their juniors over. There are also Han Zongfa and Mo families, both of whom sent some of their children among the disciples of Xuguo. My grandson is in this school!

No single aristocrat, merchant, etc., could organize an education on such a scale. A private teacher (teacher) can only impart a part of his knowledge, but he can receive all of his knowledge here.

There are people from all over the world who give lectures here. Businessmen, soldiers on the battlefield, peasants, fishermen, and even swindlers all give lectures here! Even excellent officials come to give lectures every month, and His Majesty also comes back to give lectures when he has time.

Over here. You can learn all the things that are all over the world. You can learn the reasons for the change. You can know the advantages and disadvantages of all the doctrines in the world, and you can even learn some knowledge from foreign races, and you will get unprecedented wisdom enlightenment here!"

"Can students learn so many subjects?"

General Xiang, who was looking at the gate, smiled, "I told you that you don't understand." Once you've been here for a while, you'll understand why even those nobles who are dissatisfied with the kingdom of Asahi are going to try to send their children in. ”

Then the two of them didn't say anything, and took Nangong Zhi to an office that had been prepared, where there were already comprehensive information and so on. Sandbox, contour maps, new map annotations, and more. It's all here. There are also abundant tools, many of which can be directly transferred to the army.

"This ...... It's all confidential stuff, right?" Nangong Zhi is not stupid. Everything here is estimated to make the soldiers blush.

"It used to be, but not anymore. ”

"Confidentiality is confidential, it is confidential at all times!" Nangong Zhi stood in the commander's perspective at this time, and his tone was a little stiff.

"By the time you learn these things from here, everyone in the Asahi Kingdom has been dismissive. Okay, you get familiar with the environment here, I can guide you for three days, and these three days will let you understand these things. If you don't understand the use of these tools, you will be ridiculed by the students. ”

After a brief understanding, Nangong Zhi suddenly didn't know how to describe his feelings. It is simply a shame that the high-ranking commander of the northern part of the Chen State was one day taught by a small partial general how to use the combat tools in the army, but what is even more shameful is that some of his own things are actually ...... He doesn't understand!

Three days later, when Nangong Zhi passed the assault training, he finally stepped into the lecture hall and began his first class. I heard that it was Chen Guo's northern commander who came to give a lecture, and the classroom, which could only bear 60 people, was squeezed into more than 200 people.

"Soldiers, sophistry is ......"

"Teacher, don't talk big. If you endorse it, we can all recite it backwards!" Nangong Zhicai was cut off by the naughty students when he said a word.

Nangong Zhi's first reaction was to be furious, and he was about to hit the board, but looking at the more than 200 students in the class, looking at the neat and clean school uniforms, and looking at the bright eyes, he couldn't get angry for a while, and then he thought that he was not really here to teach, but to investigate. In that case, of course, we have to follow the rules here.

Thinking of this, Nangong Zhi directly took out several classic battles that he had prepared and commanded to teach. However, Nangong Zhi was completely dumbfounded this time! I saw that the students were arguing with me, and they were stunned to criticize Nangong Zhi's classic battles, and all kinds of problems and loopholes made Nangong Zhi himself break out in a cold sweat.

Then Nangong Zhiyi turned around...... It's gone! These bastard boys, they can't teach anymore! But their hearts are starting to be heavy, thinking about the current education of Xuguo, all school-age children need to be enrolled, thinking that everyone in Xuguo will be a general in the future, and Nangong Zhi's heart can't help but tremble.

At this time, the words placed on the stone tablet at the entrance of the school flowed through Nangong Zhi's mind again, and he faintly grasped something. On the other hand, there was a sudden feeling in my heart: Xuguo is expanding! This kind of expansion is not just territorial expansion, it is all-round expansion! In the face of this expansion, Chen Guo has almost no ability to block it! If Xuguo suddenly turns the spearhead southward now, then Chen Guo's best choice is to surrender!

And once the Asahi Kingdom is stabilized, no country in the whole world can stop the expansion of the Asahi Kingdom!

Nangong Zhi, who failed to educate others and was provoked, could only leave school at this time!

It's just that when I left the school gate at this time, I happened to see several caravans unloading a large number of supplies, and the relevant personnel of the school were counting, and some students were helping on the side. The merchants greeted the surroundings with a smile, it was a smile from the heart, and the merchants who had always been covered with copper stench actually showed a pure smile at this time. You can even see many merchants taking out candy and snacks from the carriage and distributing them to the excited students around them.

"You ...... The school actually communicates directly with the businessmen?"

"Why not?" General Xiang and the janitor glanced at Nangong Zhi mockingly, the commander who was scared away by the students on the first day of teaching, what a shame.

Nangong Zhi's cheeks are not ordinarily thick, "Then these black-hearted businessmen won't make black-hearted money, right?"

"No! doing business with schools, they're losing money! They always sell to schools at the lowest price in the market, and this price is often lower than the purchase price they buy. General Xiang shook his head.

"Losing money? Didn't you Xuguo say ......?"

"We are willing!" a middle-aged businessman looked at Nangong Zhi coldly, "The country can pay money to educate students, we businessmen have no other ability, but at least we can also provide students with the best food, clothing, and school supplies cheaply." ”

"That'...... There are so many schools in the country, haven't you lost them all?"

The other party's gaze at Nangong Zhi was full of faint arrogance: "There are more businessmen in the country!"

"Nationwide ...... Businessmen all over the country are doing this!!" Nangong Zhi's heart was beating wildly, and his eyes almost rushed out of his sockets.

"Yes, the whole country! The state can do so much for us, and we also need to prove that we can also contribute to the country. ”

Nangong Zhi was silent. A few simple words of dialogue, but Nangong Zhi saw more things. When a country is willing to take the initiative to contribute to the country, when a country can give for its citizens free of charge, this is a perfect whole, and if it is a neighbor of such a country...... Cold sweat immediately soaked Nangong Zhi's back. (To be continued......)
