Chapter 380: The Second Year of Taiping
The businessman's fate is undoubtedly a warning. In addition, Guo Hao began to train the two, Ang Lee also knew that he would stop when he saw the opportunity, otherwise it would be counterproductive.
In March of the second year of Taiping, it was really like the year name, and nothing major happened. After Guo Yongning arrived at the "cold palace", he found that it was not as terrible as the legend.
The food, clothing and food are the same as before, and there is no need to worry about the trivial matters in the palace. Guo Hao gave her a lot of books and asked her to weave cloth in the palace, with the purpose of keeping her away from right and wrong.
When Guo Zhiyu arrived at the Gewu Academy, it was like birds flying into the sky and fish entering the sea. He was surrounded by like-minded people. He said that everyone knew everything, which was much more interesting than in the palace.
Before, Guo Zhiyu had to study scriptures in the palace. He hated those things the most. In the words of later generations, he was an authentic science student and failed in Chinese.
However, due to the royal status, he had to learn ignorantly, so he could only memorize it by rote. This kind of pain is no less than that of memorizing the text, and he still had to memorize it.
Now that I have arrived at the Geju Academy, there are everything except scriptures, astronomy, geophysics, physics and chemistry, so Guo Zhiyu is very happy.
As for Guo Shouye, he followed Li Qingnan to prepare for the ocean-going matter. Before Li Qingnan left, he took away a lot of silk, tea and porcelain.
After seeing these things, Guo Shouye realized that they were doing business, and the big ship by the sea looked so big, as if he was not afraid of any big storm, and the fear in his heart was eliminated a lot.
The money house in Bianliang City is on track, and the next step is to open a second one in Luoyang. However, opening a money house requires everyone's silver and money reserves. Before that, Guo Hao continues to rectify the currency.
Taking advantage of the trend of rectifying currency, Guo Hao followed Qin Shihuang and issued a series of regulations:
First, the official text uses regular script and running script. These two styles are easy to identify and promote punctuation marks, which is beneficial to kindergarten.
Second, the vehicle size is determined. Although he has not built roads now, he will first manage the vehicles across the country.
Third, unified measurement, unified weight is in place, and decimal system is adopted, ten taels per kilogram, two kilograms are one kilogram, liters, buckets, and stones are not used as official units.
Fourth, the specified time is 365 days a year, twelve months, about thirty days a month, twelve hours a day, twenty-four hours a day, one hour and four quarters of a minute, fifteen minutes a minute, and sixty breaths a minute.
Fifth, the unified length is in place, and the concepts of centimeters, decimeters, rice, and kilometers are proposed, and the map is redrawn and included in the textbook.
Sixth, the official language is stipulated, namely Mandarin. Guo Hao stayed in ancient times for a long time, but in fact he also had an accent, but he couldn't notice it.
The ministers were very moved by a series of regulations. Guo Hao also said that he was not very ambitious. Now that he did this, he would completely surpass Qin Shihuang!
At this point, Guo Hao has put forward many advanced concepts, and he has directly promoted and implemented them with his own rights, and there is no doubt.
In the cabinet, ministers were discussing how to promote quickly and how to deal with the people's resistance.
Wang Pu said: "Although the regulations made by Your Majesty seem novel, they are actually very reasonable, especially in terms of time, which are divided more carefully."
Xue Juzheng nodded when he heard this: "Not only is the time divided, but also the length divided. I have never thought of it before, and there is a unit as small as centimeters."
As he said that, Xue Juzheng gestured for a moment. In fact, these concepts are not difficult to accept, but they just need time to adapt.
"Haha, what is centimeters? Your Majesty said there are millimeters and nanometers below centimeters, which we cannot see at all with our naked eyes.
Don’t believe it, what microscope does the Geju Academy have to observe very small things. The water we drink on weekdays is actually not clean, and there are countless small bugs in it!”
Before Chen Xuan finished speaking, Lu Yuqing had just taken a sip of tea and squirted it out, looking at Chen Xuan speechlessly.
Chen Xuan laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, Lord Lv, it's okay if it's boiled. We have been drinking tea for so many years, but it's not good yet."
After some discussion, several people felt that the problem was not big. As long as the local government strictly implemented it, the people could adapt slowly.
However, the people can adapt, but merchants may not be able to do so. After using the measurement unit for a long time, they have developed a habit. Some profiteers even use this to make money, but now they may not be able to do so.
Moreover, as the weight changes, many things have to be repriced, which makes the businessmen suffer and adds a lot of trouble for no reason.
But Guo Hao doesn’t care about that. Who made him the emperor? If he doesn’t change his troubles, how can society make progress?
The merchants felt that it was troublesome, so Guo Hao simply helped them. He called Chen Lin and Shi Yiran, and then asked them to form a chamber of commerce and customize the prices of various products with the Ministry of Revenue.
This chamber of commerce is a bit similar to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and is considered a branch of the Ministry of Revenue. In this way, the prices across the country can be rectified without losing money on businessmen.
With so many policies, the people benefited in the end. After a period of time, they were surprised to find that all kinds of items on the market seemed to be cheap!
Moreover, there are many tools for watching time on the street, including sundials, water hourglass and other primitive tools. The clock has not yet been shown. Although Guo Hao knows the principle, it will take time to make it.
Following the urban planning, Bianliang City ushered in a new round of spiritual civilization construction. At the same time, it radiated to the whole country with Bianliang as the center, and ultimately created a truly peaceful and prosperous era!
In April, a bad news came, and Han Lingkun, one of the four generals guarding Yanyun, passed away. Guo Hao heard the news and felt deeply mourning.
Han Lingkun was quite talented and knew the strategies of governing the country. He had many military achievements throughout his life. He was only forty-six years old when he died of illness and guarded the northern border for many years.
Guo Hao was wearing plain clothes and mourned him in the martial arts hall. He announced that he would stop court for three days and posthumously named the Prince of Nanyang, erected a monument to record his merits.
Han Lingkun's sudden death made Guo Hao realize a problem. Although the Song Dynasty is now powerful, it is because the veterans of the early Song Dynasty in the Five Dynasties are still there.
These people are getting older day by day, and the lifespan of the ancients is even shorter. They may not die suddenly one day. There may be no future in the Song Dynasty!
This problem is not a small problem. Since the Song Dynasty used literati to govern the country in history, there were not many famous generals later, which led to the dissatisfaction of the martial generals of the Song Dynasty.
This is a terrible phenomenon. It is true that Guo Hao needs literati to govern the country, but he also needs military generals to guard the border. Now most of the founding generals are on the border, so it is not easy to dispatch them.
Three days later, Guo Hao summoned many generals in the Lecture Hall and announced a decision that he would officially establish the Song Dynasty Military Academy!
Hearing this decision, the generals were a little puzzled, and Guo Hao explained: "A military academy, as the name suggests, is an academy for cultivating soldiers, in other words, a college for cultivating generals.
You may not understand this, because in your opinion, it is useless to talk about war on paper, and it is better to come from the battlefield.
But not everyone has your luck to live to the end on the battlefield. Most people die on the battlefield before they become generals, and your experience is written in blood!
So I set up a Military Academy to inherit your experience. Those military tactics that have been passed down from generation to generation also have many advantages, and your experience is more valuable than military tactics!
General Han suddenly passed away and left nothing behind. He fought for the rest of his life, and this should not be the ending.
You have read my "Three Kingdoms" and you also find the military strategy in it very useful. If you can pass on all your life's learning like me, will our Song Dynasty still have to worry about no successor?"
After working on it for a long time, Guo Hao actually asked them to write a book. This made these generals suffer, and it was more difficult than letting them kill people.
However, some generals began to think. Guo Hao was right. They fought a war for life and were indeed experienced. If they wrote books, wouldn’t they be like Sun Wu and would be famous for eternity?
"The affairs of the Military Academy cannot be delayed. From now on, every general will come to the Academy to teach for one month every year.
You must also be prepared for the rest of the time and try to write down your experience. If you really can't write it out, I can send a document to help you, and you just need to tell it."
"Abide by the order!"
A century-old plan is based on education.
When the Song Dynasty wanted long-term stability, all parties had to think that historical experience told us that it was not enough to just rely on one person, otherwise how could Yue Fei die with hatred?
To turn the tide, you must have enough strength, and the Song Dynasty Military Academy is the source of strength!
