When Ye Yu Guanyin and Yang Jiu Mei heard the news, they were all shocked, and Ye Yu Guanyin's face showed a thick sadness, and said: "This defeat, Linhuang Mansion is afraid that it will not be able to hold it!" ”

Yang Peng asked: "How many defenders are there in Linhuang Mansion, and what is the situation of the city defense?" Ya Yu Guanyin frowned and said: "There were hundreds of thousands of heavy soldiers on the Shangjing Road, and although the Mongols were fierce, they didn't want to achieve any results. However, the Empress Dowager transferred most of the troops guarding the Shangjing Road to Goryeo to fight, and the Shangjing Road was empty, so the Mongols could take advantage of it. According to the intelligence obtained during this time, the defenders of Shangjing Road only had more than 100,000, most of them were annihilated before, and now the strength of the garrison of Linhuang Mansion is probably only tens of thousands. ”

Yang Jiumei said: "If I am the empress dowager of the Liao State, there is no other choice at this time, but to transfer troops from Goryeo, and the war with the Japanese can only be put aside temporarily!" ”

Yang Peng pondered: "In this way, I am afraid that the war on Goryeo's side will be reversed in an instant!" Yang Peng said this is very reasonable, because although the Liao State, Goryeo nearly a million coalition troops are now dominant, but the Japanese people have shown a strong resilience, with 500,000 troops against a million coalition troops, although the situation is unfavorable, but still insist, did not collapse, the coalition has not achieved a decisive victory, at this time if the main force of the Liao State is transferred away, the Japanese are bound to fight back with all their might, and the battle of the Goryeo army is impossible to resist, and the scene of being driven ducks by the Japanese people before is only afraid that it will appear again, or even worse.

Yang Peng looked at Yang Jiumei and asked, "Have you received my order?" Yang Jiumei said: "I received it a day ago, as soon as I received the order from King Yan, my subordinates immediately sent someone to order the second and third army corps to assemble in Yanjing, and at the same time sent someone to Tsushima Island to summon the message!" ”

Yang Peng frowned and said: "The two legions are assembled, and the grain and grass are in place, it will take at least ten days!" Hey, I don't know if there will be any drastic changes in these ten days! Then he put these worries behind him and said, "It's useless to think about it, let's see how the situation develops!" Seeing that Ye Yu Guanyin's face was full of worry, he comforted: "Guanyin, you don't have to worry too much, the Liao State is strong, comparable to my Yanyun, and it is not easy for the Mongols and the Japanese to defeat him!" Ye Yu Guanyin glanced at Yang Peng and said lightly: "I am the Qin order of the Liao State, what else do I have to worry about!" Having said that, her eyes betrayed herself.

Hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside, and I saw Qian Letian, Yanyun's big housekeeper, and Tang Shidian, the head of the education department, coming together. When the two of them saw Yang Peng, who was sitting on the top, they were all overjoyed, and they bowed together: "My subordinates have seen King Yan!" "Yanyun's financial system has not yet been completely relocated to Tianjing New Town, so Qian Letian still stays in Yanjing, and is also the deputy of Yang Jiumei to assist Yang Jiumei; As for Tang Shidian, after all, Yanyun's education system is the most complete in the sixteen states of Yanyun, so Tang Shidian will often lead newcomers from the education department to visit the sixteen states of Yanyun, about half a month ago, Tang Shidian led the person in charge of the education department in Shaanxi and Gansu to visit the sixteen states of Yanyun, and they will stay for about half a month before leaving.

Yang Peng smiled: "You two look good!" The two straightened up and smiled, Qian Lotian said jokingly: "I'll sleep when I'm full, and eat when I'm full, except for some cases, it can be said that there is nothing to do, and it's difficult to think about it!" Tang Shidian said: "Lord Tang also has to assist the princess in managing all opportunities, and he is really doing nothing below!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "What do you two mean by telling me this?" Could it be that there are too few tasks on the body and the work is too easy? If that is the case, I will give each of you some more tasks, so that you do not complain before me!" The two smiled and clasped their fists and said, "Thank you Yan Wang for being complete!" ”

Yang Peng said to Tang Shidian: "Regarding the teaching materials, they still need to be improved. Before I came to Yanjing, I looked at the junior and senior schools in Tianjing New Town, and the others were fine, but I think there is still a lot of room for improvement in the teaching materials. Although the basic textbooks do not use the classics of Confucianism, they use the classics of other doctrines, which will make students believe in Confucianism and other schools, which is not good, in short, it is not good. I think it would be much better to have a new basic textbook that includes the best ideas and good stories from folklore than to use the classics of any one school as a textbook. ”

Tang Shidian listened carefully and exclaimed: "King Yan is wise, as the saying goes, if you listen to it, you will be clear and believe in the dark, and if you do this, King Yan will do this to realize both listening in education, and it will be beneficial to the students and the country without harm!" Qian Letian smiled: "This can also reduce the rejection of the Confucian scholars towards us to a certain extent." ”

Yang Peng said: "Whether they reject or not, I don't take it to heart." I'm completely desperate for those guys! Then he said to Tang Shidian: "In addition to the basic textbooks, it is all aspects of professional textbooks, such as carpentry, now there are no textbooks at all, it is completely the mode of the master with the apprentice, so it can not be said that it is not good, but there are obvious defects, if there is a textbook from shallow to deep as a guide, I believe that the efficiency will be higher, and it is also convenient for the popularization of technology, which is good for social development and progress!" ”

Tang Shidian said in embarrassment: "Those masters who have unique skills are very reluctant to even teach their skills in the school, and they want them to record their unique skills in the books and spread them widely, but I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's even more difficult!" ”

Yang Peng frowned and said: "This is one of the worst habits in our country from ancient times to the present. I cherish my broom, even if it's a broken broom, I don't want to share it with others as a treasure, not to mention those really useful skills! After a pause, he said: "If you want to change this, you naturally can't just rely on my orders, but also know how to lure them with reason," glanced at Tang Shidian, and said with a smile: "You are better at saying big truths than me, so I don't have to worry about it." On the other hand, I can tell you that anyone who is willing to take out a unique skill can immediately be canonized by the Daoyan Palace, become a university professor, and be given a title equivalent to military merit according to the level of skill he has dedicated. ”

Yanyun's military merit system is similar to that of the Qin Dynasty, but there are only eighteen levels, from low to high, each level can enjoy corresponding privileges, and the higher the level, the more privileges you can enjoy. It must be explained here that these privileges can only be obtained by military merit so far, and even if a scholar has any talent, it is impossible to get similar privileges unless he is considered to have made a merit equivalent to military merit, and because of this, now in the territory of Yanyun, the status of scholars has been unprecedentedly low since the Han Dynasty, while the status of martial artists has been unprecedentedly high. Now that Yang Peng is determined to extend the system of rewards and punishments for military merit to the skilled industry, it is foreseeable that in the near future, the status of craftsmen in the world will also be greatly improved, and the status of scholars will be further reduced, or will be further reasonable.

Since the Han Dynasty monopolized Confucianism, the status of scholars has become higher and higher, and in the Song Dynasty, it is simply outrageously high, as evidenced by the 'Taizu Stone Tablet' of Song Taizu. So everything is inferior, only reading is high! In fact, how much role does a reader have? Their role is nothing more than the so-called education of the people, in fact, whether they can educate the people has nothing to do with whether they read or not, but depends on the character and ability of the official, if these two are not good, hehe, then it is just a bastard who is full of benevolence and morality but has a belly of black water, it is impossible to talk about educating the people, if the people really take him as an example, then the world will be in chaos!

Scholars also have a role, that is, to record the achievements of civilization and be a carrier of culture. However, this is just like the express delivery of modern society, can it be more noble than other industries? The reason why the successive dynasties promoted scholars or improved the status and treatment of Confucian scholars was nothing more than the need of the policy of fooling the people, and there was nothing else! What Yang Peng wants to do is not to harm the readers, but to let everything that is abnormal return to normal, and a waste who can only do anything can obtain a status and benefits far beyond others, which is the biggest unfairness!

Yang Peng said: "That's what I think, what do you think?" Tang Shidian said with a smile: "In this way, I believe that those craftsmen who cherish themselves will definitely rush to come up with their secret skills, which can glorify the title of the ancestors, and everyone who studies for a year dreams of it, let alone the craftsman." ”

Yang Peng smiled and said: "You are responsible for formulating the specific implementation rules." After a pause, "I'm going to see your results in a month." "Yes, my subordinates will do their best!" Yang Peng looked away at Qian Letian and said with a smile: "I have wanted to reform the financial system for a long time, I will give me a general intention, you and your subordinates should think about it, and after this battle is over, I will come to ask you." "Yes, King Yan commands."

Yang Peng pondered: "Today's tax system, which is attached to various local governments, manages very complicated tax matters, resulting in low efficiency and corruption. I want to completely separate the tax system from the local government, like the inspectorate, and make it a completely independent department......"

Qian Letian's eyes lit up, and then he frowned and said: "In this way, wouldn't it completely deprive the local government of its financial power, I'm afraid there will be some resistance!" Yang Peng said: "It is better for the power of local governments to be smaller. After the tax department is separated, it will be divided into three parts, one is responsible for traditional agricultural taxes, the other is responsible for local tariffs, and the last part is responsible for industrial and commercial trade taxes. Government farms and other government-run industries are not included in the tax system, because they have to hand over most of their profits to the state treasury every year, which is already a tax, and it is still a heavy tax. What do you think of my thoughts? Qian Letian was a little unsure, frowned and said: "This, this is really a unique move, subordinates, subordinates can't say what kind of impact it will have for a while!" ”

Yang Peng pondered for a moment, on the way to Yanjing, in addition to thinking about the current Goryeo war, he was also thinking about tax reform and other things, he had already thought about it well, but at this moment seeing Qian Letian so cautious, he couldn't help but feel that the new policy with such a big change should not be implemented immediately, although he had thought about it very thoroughly, but many things were afraid that it was beyond the expectations of the moment, thinking of the situation in the future, he couldn't help but move his heart, and said to Qian Letian: "This policy is not promoted nationwide for the time being, Give it a try in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun first. If it works, it will be rolled out nationwide, and if it is not feasible, it will be terminated immediately. ”

Yang Jiumei and Qian Letian listened to Yang Peng's words, and their eyes couldn't help but light up, and they both felt that this method was the best, which could not only implement the new policy as soon as possible to promote social development, but also limit the possible harm to the minimum, so as not to cause a huge disaster because of the unforeseen defects of the new policy. Historically, there have been countless major upheavals caused by new policies, and the policymakers had good intentions, and the new policies themselves were good, but because they ignored some problems, the new policies not only failed to achieve the expected results, but also completely ran counter to the original intentions of the policymakers, resulting in great disasters. For example, the tax policy after Qin's unification of the world, Wang Mang's new policy after usurping the Han Dynasty, and so on. The lessons of the past are enough to be vigilant for future generations.

Eyes turn to Kaegyong, Goryeo. Wu Xing sat in the room of the inn, looking at the urgent report that had just arrived from the south of Goryeo, his brows furrowed tightly. The door creaked open, and the deputy Zhen Riqian walked in quickly, clenched his fists and said, "My lord, you called me?" ”

Wu Xing folded the report in his hand, put it in an envelope, stood up, handed it to Zhen Riqian, and ordered: "This is the urgent report I just received, and it will be sent to Yanjing as quickly as possible!" Zhen Riqian answered, took the report, and left in a hurry.

Wu Xing turned around and walked to the window, pushed it open, and the noisy atmosphere immediately hit his face. I saw that in the capital city, in the streets and alleys, everyone was dragging their families to flee from Kaijing, everyone's face was full of anxious looks, and the shouts of adults and the cries of children were intertwined, like a sad music.

Not long ago, the coalition army was still like a bamboo, but in the blink of an eye, the situation was reversed 180 degrees, the Mongols suddenly invaded Liao, the Liao government and the opposition were greatly shaken, and in panic, the main army that was fighting in Goryeo was urgently transferred back to China for reinforcements, so the comparison of forces between the two sides on the battlefield of Goryeo underwent a subversive change, and there were only 100,000 or 200,000 Goryeo troops left in the nearly one million coalition army, and the Japanese still had nearly 500,000 people.

The general of the Japanese Empire, Samuro Nario, noticed the change in his opponent and immediately realized that it was his ally the Mongols who had made the move, and he was ecstatic and immediately waved his army to counterattack. At this time, the Goryeo army has been divided into two parts, respectively retreated to Jeonju and Andong, the Jeonju is in the west, Andong is in the east, although the Goryeo army has made defensive preparations, but because the Liao army has withdrawn, the Goryeo army is in turmoil, in the face of the Japanese stormy counterattack, soon unable to resist, Jeonju, Andong lost one after another. Subsequently, although the Goryeo army tried to stabilize its position many times, the Japanese became more and more courageous, and the offensive became more and more crazy, and the Goryeo army was defeated in successive battles, and the Western Route Army retreated to Annam, which is located in the middle of the Korean Peninsula, while the Eastern Route Army retreated under the leadership of Wang Yue until the starting point of the counterattack, Kaijing. Immediately, the Japanese army surrounded Annam, and the news reached Kaijing, and the people were terrified and fled for their lives.

Wu Xing looked at the chaotic scene in front of him and thought about his next move. Zhen Riqian rushed in and said urgently: "My lord, I just received news that Annan was broken by the Japanese people, and the Japanese people carried out a massacre of the city in Annan, and nearly 100,000 Goryeo soldiers and civilians were killed!" Wu Xing frowned, turned around, and said in disbelief: "Why did you lose so quickly?" ”

Zhen Riqian said: "It is said that it was Kim Tongtian, the deputy general of the Goryeo army, who rebelled in the battle and opened the city gate at a critical time, so that the Japanese were able to break through Annam. Wu Xing muttered, "Jin Tongtian? Then he suddenly said, "I know this person, he is one of the most important generals in the Goryeo army, and he was the general in charge of guarding Zhongjing in the Goryeo Kingdom back then. With his prestige and position, he should be in charge, but he was only appointed by Wang Yue as the deputy general of the Western Route Army. It is said that this man was very arrogant, and naturally he was not convinced, and now that the catastrophe is coming, it is not surprising that he is on the verge of surrendering to the enemy. ”

Zhen Riqian nodded and said, "Since Annan has been lost, the Japanese army will soon be under the capital. With the current state of the Goryeo Army, this Kaijing will definitely not be able to hold it. My lord, what should we do? ”

Wu Xing was silent for a moment and said: "Our mission is to observe the Japanese people, and at the same time collect all the information about the Japanese people, the Goryeo people can go, we can't go." After a pause, "But this capital is about to become a dangerous place, and we have to leave for the time being." Then he ordered: "Immediately send an order, and all personnel immediately withdraw to the nearby Mount Kongo." "Yes." Zhen Riqian answered, and prepared to go down to give the order. At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Zhang Daniu, the captain of the hidden killing team, rushed in, and said with a happy face: "My lord, good news!" "This big bull was originally sent by Yang Peng to Bianjing to secretly protect Mu Guifei's mother and son, and soon after he returned, he was sent to Goryeo as the commander of the secret guard to assist Wuxing.

Wu Xing and Zhen Riqian suddenly heard Zhang Daniu say that there was good news, and subconsciously thought that it was the Goryeo army that repelled the Japanese people, and they both felt incredible. I only heard Zhang Daniu say: "I just received an order from King Yan sent by Yanjing, King Yan has arrived in Yanjing, and is ready to dispatch the army to directly use troops against the Japanese people!" As he spoke, he handed a letter to Wu Xing. Wu Xing and Zhen Riqian were pleasantly surprised when they heard the news, and when they saw that there was a letter, Wu Xing hurriedly took it, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, and opened it to read it. Said happily: "King Yan wants to personally command the army to cross the sea!" That's great! As soon as the elite of our army arrives, the situation on the battlefield will change immediately! After thinking for a while, he turned his head to Zhen Riqian and said, "The retreat plan has been canceled for the time being, and I want to meet the emperor of Goryeo!" With that, he hurried out of the room.

A moment later, Wu Xing, accompanied by several hidden killers, came to the gate of the palace of the Goryeo Emperor, only to see a busy scene outside the gate, eunuchs, palace maids, and guards were busy loading treasures and antiques into many carts, and everyone had a look of anxiety. Seeing such a scene, Wu Xing knew that the Goryeo Emperor was preparing to flee without asking. Wu Xing couldn't help frowning, and led a few shadow killers forward.

When the Goryeo guards saw several people who looked like ordinary people coming, they immediately became vigilant, and a person who looked like an officer stepped forward, raised his right hand and shouted: "Stop!" This is a royal forbidden place, and the people are not allowed to approach! Wu Xing and a few people stopped, and Wu Xing clenched his fists and raised his voice: "Troubles pass through Your Majesty the Emperor of your country, Yanyun Envoy has something important to see!" "The two of them talked this time, they all spoke Goryeo, and Wuxing has been in Goryeo for a long time, although they are not proficient in Goryeo, but they have no obstacle to communication.

When the officer heard that it was Yan Yun's envoy, he was surprised, and his expression immediately became extremely respectful, and he bowed and said, "It turned out to be Yan Yun's noble envoy!" Please wait, envoy, and I will go to His Majesty the Emperor at once! Wu Xing nodded. The officer immediately turned and ran in. Wu Xing and the others were waiting outside.

After a while, the officer rushed out, came to Wu Xing and the others, bowed down and bowed, "His Majesty the Emperor has invited Yan Yun to make an envoy!" Your Excellency, please come with me! Then lead the way in front. Wu Xing and the others followed the officer into the gate, and as soon as they entered the gate, they saw a chaotic scene in the entire palace, and the Koreans were like ants on a hot pot, preparing to flee.

The officer led the group to a quiet place, which was in sharp contrast to the noisy front yard, and saw a few people sitting in the pavilion not far away, among which the young and handsome man, whom Wu Xing recognized, was the current emperor of Goryeo, Wang Yue; Outside the pavilion stood royal guards with helmets and armoured hands on the hilts of their swords.

Wu Xing and several people followed the officer straight to the outside of the pavilion, and the officer bowed to the pavilion and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Yungui has arrived." A few people in the pavilion hurriedly stood up, bowed to a few people in Wuxing, and looked very respectful, Wang Yue said apologetically: "I don't know if Yan Yungui's envoy has arrived, I have missed the distance, and I hope to forgive my sins!" "Wang Yue does not speak Korean, but Chinese. Wu Xing replied: "It's my presumptuousness to come!" ”

Wang Yue glanced at Wu Xing and the others, and said, "I don't dare to doubt your identity, but now that the situation is tense, I want to confirm your identity!" ”

Wu Xing took out an iron plaque from his bosom and handed it over. One of the guards immediately stepped forward to take it and handed it to Wang Yue. Wang Yue hurriedly picked up the iron card, carefully examined it, and determined that it was the Yan King's Yan King Iron Card, knowing that the people who could hold this kind of iron card were not ordinary people of Yan Yun, and they all shouldered the important mission of Yan Wang, and outsiders naturally could not obtain it, nor could it be counterfeited, so the identity of Wu Xing and others was immediately determined. Hurriedly returned the iron card with both hands, and the guard took the iron card and returned it to Wu Xing.

Wang Yue bowed down and asked, "Your Excellency, please sit down and speak." Wu Xing walked into the pavilion alone, while a few secret guards stayed outside. Wu Xing sat down at the stone table, and Wang Yue and the others also sat down. Wang Yue said very excitedly: "I didn't expect that the envoy of King Yan would actually come to our country, what a joy from heaven!" The military advisor Wang Er asked, "I don't know why your envoy came to our country?" Everyone in Goryeo looked at Wu Xing with great concern.

Wu Xing hugged his fists and said: "My King Yan heard that Goryeo was in danger, so he decided to send troops to rescue!" ......" Everyone was very surprised when they heard this, and Wang Yue said excitedly: "King Yan wants to send troops to our country?" Wu Xing nodded and said, "King Yan has arrived in Yanjing, and the army is gathering, and it will soon be able to cross the sea and reach your country!" ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
