Chapter Ninety-Five: Emphasizing Literature over Reason

Yuan Xuanming said a lot of what he saw and heard in the barracks.

Zhong Ling didn't interrupt him, and listened quietly, because she also wanted to know the situation in the barracks.

Previously, she knew only scratching the surface of the military aspects of the era.

That is, from the time of the crossing emperor, the military and the government were completely separated, as in modern times, and the local officials no longer had any military power, but established a provincial system.

That is, the existence of more than a dozen types of military districts was divided, and the supreme commander of each district was the governor-general.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this crossing emperor did what the Yuan Dynasty did on the original historical track.

In order to prevent the local authorities from having too much power and the danger of supporting the army and standing on their own feet, the military and the government were divided and unified under the management of the central government, thus strengthening the centralization of power. wap✱.fengsβœͺβŠββ‚fo

Now from what Yuan Xuanming said, Zhong Ling has a rough idea of the overall military strength of the Yan Dynasty through the situation of this military camp.

It seems that although the military emperor has carried out reforms, he also warns future generations not to underestimate the military because of the peaceful and prosperous times.

But because of thousands of years of thinking of emphasizing literature over reason, even if today's Yan Dynasty is not too light on military, it has not been developed mostly.

Actually, this is also imaginable.

After all, the vigorous development of modern military technology is inseparable from the outbreak of the industrial revolution, because only with the progress of physical science and technology can military technology be advanced.

Nowadays, the era is still heavy on literature, and the status of literati is higher than others.

How can other aspects be developed at a high speed?

After Zhong Ling probably understood this, he didn't think about it, after all, even if it was to develop, it was still far away from her.

She turned the subject to business in a loud voice, "When will the Uncle Hong you mentioned come back?" ”

Hearing this question, Yuan Xuanming, who was still proud, took his mind back, and he said, "It may take a while, what do you want to build?" ”

"This."

Zhong Ling handed him the drawings.

Yuan Xuanming took it and looked at it, and then looked at Zhong Ling in surprise.

"What is this?"

The drawing was very standard, but he couldn't read it at all.

Zhong Ling didn't explain directly, but said, "Didn't the former Emperor Ming propose to make tools for sewing clothes and shoes?" So I tried to think of one, and I didn't know if it would work. ”

Yuan Xuanming, a scumbag of a scholar who is good at martial arts, doesn't care if he can't do it in the end, as soon as he heard the drawings of this kind of tool, his eyes lit up.

"Amazing, I didn't expect you to have talent in this area!"

In the face of praise, Zhong Ling's face did not change, she looked at Yuan Xuanming with a slight glint in her eyes, and said, "So I don't know if your Uncle Man can help me make it." ”

Yuan Xuanming said, "Don't worry, Uncle Hong likes strange and challenging things the most, and he will definitely help you." ”

Zhong Ling looked at him and said, "Then I will believe you." ”

Yuan Xuanming looked at Zhong Ling's dark eyes, and suddenly deeply felt the feeling he needed to be trusted by his friends, and he said a little flutteringly, "Wrap it up on me." ”

"Now wait until I'm done building my dagger first."

"Okay."

After that, Zhong Ling sat on the side, took out the book and flipped through it.

Yuan Xuanming accidentally lifted his eyes when he was breathless, and when his eyes touched Zhong Ling, who was sitting there, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

In the dirty iron room, a fresh and clean young man, reading the book in his hand with his eyebrows lowered and lowering his eyes, he didn't seem to be affected by this noisy and dirty environment at all, so focused and quiet.

The light all around him seemed to be focused on him.

made his whole body seem to glow.

Yuan Xuanming looked at the delicate little face under the low eyelashes, and realized that Zhong Shuyu seemed to be different from before.
