Chapter 1971

The prosperity of Danzhou's cultural and educational industry is due, on the one hand, to the local cultural heritage that has been well maintained during the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty; on the other hand, it is because Haihan vigorously promoted the development of the local cultural and educational industry after taking over the place, with Zhang Xin as the

The representative local officials built this as a sign of Danzhou, and invested a lot of resources over the years to achieve the current Qi phase.

It is not impossible for other countries to follow Danzhou's approach, but in addition to funds and policies, human factors must also be considered. Cultivating professional cultural and educational talents cannot be achieved overnight, and it is difficult for other countries to have Haihan

With such operational efficiency, it will take at least ten years to achieve the current scale of cultural and educational industry in Danzhou.

But the real difficulty in imitating Danzhou is that the cultural and educational industry here is not based on studying a subset of classics and history, or entering the officialdom by writing eight-legged essays, as a driving force to support industrial development. At present, most of the cultural and educational institutions in Danzhou have an obvious commercial orientation.

In terms of business nature, profit is the real driving force for development. Of course, such a model will be regarded as heresy in other countries, and it is difficult to be strongly promoted by the government.

Of course, when Haihan first took over Danzhou, there were many local voices opposed to the industrialization of cultural and educational institutions. They believed that places where sages and sages were read should reject the smell of copper and should not introduce commercial operations into cultural and educational institutions. However, those who held this opinion

People basically kept their mouths shut after a few years, because the local cultural and educational institutions that developed best during Haihan's rule were basically those practitioners who actively attached themselves to Haihan and followed the arrangements of the government. And those who were stubborn

, due to the lack of income, the investment is naturally not as good as those of latecomers who operate this as an industry, and most of them are quickly eliminated by the increasingly fierce market competition.

At this time, the Danzhou area can still establish cultural and educational institutions that do not care about income and are not for commercial purposes. Basically, they are funded by official or private sources. For example, this is the case with the Federation of Literary and Art Circles currently under the control of Yan Mingjun. The funds for daily operations are

Most of them come from government subsidies, and a few of them come from Yan Mingjun's own pocket. Of course, Yan Mingjun will not engage in loss-making business. The benefits this position brings to him far outweigh the cost.

As for the inside story of Danzhou's cultural and educational industry, it was difficult for Li Bo to understand it at the first time, but he got a little bit of the situation from the discussions of other people at the table. Haihan people regard the cultural and educational industry as

To do business, this is not surprising to Li Pu. After all, this country is founded on business, so it is reasonable to do this.

There is currently no large-scale cultural and educational industry in North Korea. Whether it is private or official academies, the main purpose is to train future officials for the country, which is different from Haihan's cultural and educational institutions.

Only a very small number of students who graduate from various academies here in the state will work in the government every year, and most of them go to various production units to become industrial workers. Since North Korea has not established an industrial system, things like this

The vocational education and training system basically does not exist in its country.

But this is not what Li Bo is really interested in. He is still more concerned about non-profit cultural institutions such as Poetry Society and Painting Studio. In his opinion, these are the indicators to measure the cultural level of a country or region. As for training

Li Bo also admitted that industrial workers and sailors were useful, but no matter how much they were trained, they could not create works that would be handed down for generations. After all, they could not be regarded as literati. At best, they could only be regarded as able to read and write sentences.

This is not that Li Pu intentionally discriminates against Haihan's vocational training system, but in his understanding, scholars should not be "mass-produced" like Danzhou, not to mention that after these people graduate and leave the academy, their employment

It seems that it is often difficult to establish a direct connection with the cultural circle. However, Li Bo’s current understanding of the real role played by these industrial workers who can read and count in national development is still too superficial. The industrialization promoted by Haihan

The process must be realized by relying on a huge group of industrial workers, and the stakes in this process are probably only known to the senior officials of Haihan who are well aware of the industrial development process.

After the banquet, Tian Zheng and others coordinated with local officials to arrange the daily life and next itinerary of Li Bo and his party. Bai Kesi finally had time to sit down and learn from Zhang Xin about the detection process of the Changhua attack case.

"Originally, Zhang Qianzhi was supposed to explain it to you, but it is said that his follow-up investigation did not go very smoothly. This guy hasn't slept for two days. He said he wanted to hurry up and verify the information, so I asked him to do his own thing first.

Please call Wang Baisuo over to tell you about the case." After Zhang Xin sat down, he first explained to Bai Kesi the reason why Zhang Qianzhi did not come to the luncheon today.

Bai Kesi naturally heard the meaning of protecting Zhang Qianzhi in his words, and responded with a smile: "It's really rare that Zhang Qianzhi can still be tired while working here."

Zhang Xindao: "He said that this matter may not be as simple as it seems, so we need to find out the truth as soon as possible. Young people are still working hard, and we should give more support."

In fact, Wang Baisuo is indeed the best person to introduce the case, because he is the frontline commander who is actually responsible for executing the arrest plan and has a better understanding of how the case was solved.

If this case is to be judged by conviction, then the actions of Xue Zheng and his gang are undoubtedly irrefutable. Whether it is the death penalty or life imprisonment is not an exaggeration, but because it involves the diplomatic field, they will definitely not be sentenced publicly.

But the problem facing Haihan now is not to convict, but to find out the real reason why Xue Zheng and his gang tried to launch an attack on the Joseon Crown Prince, and to find out the mastermind behind the plan who instigated them to do this. The interrogation investigation is currently in progress.

It didn't go very smoothly. The Ministry of Security failed to obtain relevant information about the mastermind at the first time.

"The mastermind behind the scenes..." Bai Kesi subconsciously touched his chin and responded in a low voice: "Can you list those who have the courage to oppose our country on one hand?"

"This is not an open confrontation, it's a secret stumbling block. If you have such an idea, you probably can't count it on one hand!" Zhang Xin couldn't help but remind him.

The history of Haihan's rise is full of wars, large and small, so there are indeed many forces that have suffered from Haihan. Even if some of them have surrendered after the incident, there is no guarantee that they will not play some tricks to slow down Haihan's development.

.If we want to measure the countries and forces that have diplomatic relations with Haihan by "absolute credibility", then the Executive Committee will probably only give a passing grade to the Fujian Xu family and the Annan Zheng family, and the others will not be listed at all.

into the objects of consideration.

According to Wang Baisuo's introduction, this group of people came from a vast area from the South China Sea to the north of the Ming Dynasty. At first, the security department thought they might be bounty killers, but later Zhang Qianzhi began to suspect that these people might belong to different forces, because three of them

Tattoo patterns similar to gang markings were found on the body of the deceased, but there were no such markings on the others.

Of course, this is just a guess, but if it is confirmed, the complexity of the matter will rise to another level.

"Why the Crown Prince of Joseon? Why is he being targeted?" What Bai Kesi is most interested in now is this. What is the reason why the other party chooses to attack the target? Is it just to damage the relationship between the two countries, or is there another purpose?

However, there is no clear answer to this question yet, and Wang Baisuo dare not speculate casually. After all, this matter is of great importance. The executive committee specially modified the itinerary of the Joseon Crown Prince for this purpose, and also asked the Ministry of Security to make such a big move in Danzhou.

, is to find out the real reason why the Crown Prince of Joseon was attacked. If there are any gaps in his understanding, it may affect the Executive Committee's judgment on the case.

However, Zhang Xin did not have so many scruples and spoke of his own views on the matter: "We might as well think about what would be the consequences if something happened to the crown prince of Joseon, or even died, while he was studying in our country. Who would

The greatest benefit.”

Bai Kesi said: "Theoretically, it may lead to the breakdown of diplomatic relations with North Korea, and it will definitely affect our country's international reputation. If our country turns against North Korea, it will have to withdraw its troops stationed in North Korea. In this way, we can say that it will benefit the most.

...Isn’t that the Qing Dynasty? But if the Qing Dynasty has the ability to send a team of people to Hainan Island to perform tasks, then why bother attacking the crown prince of Joseon? It might be more effective to deal with us directly?"

"Old Bai, you have forgotten that attacking us will not force our troops to leave North Korea. Only attacking the prince of North Korea can have such an effect." Zhang Xin reminded.

Bai Kesi slapped his forehead and said: "I'm so angry... You're right, but I still don't think the Qing Dynasty has enough ability to send people to Hainan Island to carry out this kind of task. Just go down from Liaodongnan to Hainan Island.

It is estimated that only a few people in the entire Qing Dynasty know about the route."

The route that Bai Kesi mentioned is naturally not an offshore route. The Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are currently in a state of unending struggle. Even if the Qing Dynasty wants to send ships southward from the sea, they will never dare to get too close to the Ming Dynasty's coastline. As for taking the open sea route to go south, only the sailing experience is extremely high.

Only experienced sailors can do it.

Zhang Xin shook his head and expressed disagreement: "Then I have to say, if the Qing Dynasty really wants to do this, there is no need to send a ship personally. They can try to hire a ship to pick up the people from Liaodong, and then go south by sea.

.Besides, among the group of people caught, aren’t there people who are suspected to be locals from Nanhai?”

Bai Kesi waved his hand and said: "Wait a minute, our thinking is still too narrow. If something happens to the crown prince of Joseon and it affects the relationship between our country and North Korea, then the Qing Dynasty will undoubtedly be the biggest beneficiary, but this is the only one.

Beneficiaries? If the Qing Dynasty wanted to carry out this kind of action, what they needed was not just a group of sailors who could control the route to the south. What was more important was intelligence, information about the whereabouts of the crown prince of Joseon. Just now Wang Baisuo said that they were in Danzhou.

They spent more than 200,000 yuan to buy information from underground brokers, so how did they track the whereabouts of the Joseon Crown Prince before that?"

"You mean...if the Qing Dynasty initiated this action, then it is not enough for them to rely on themselves. There may be other forces providing help to them. For example, guiding them to track them all the way to Hainan Island, and then from Sanya to

Danzhou?" Zhang Xin also roughly understood the meaning of Bai Ke's thought.

Bai Kesi nodded and said: "And just now Wang Baisuo said that these people prepared horses before the operation, obviously intending to use them to evacuate the area quickly after the operation, so where are they going to evacuate? I think it is at sea, because they are facing Danzhou

The geographical environment is completely unfamiliar to them, so they have the best chance of escaping from the sea. But who will assist them in their evacuation? There must be someone providing protection for their actions!"

Bai Kesi did not know the planned evacuation location and method of Xue Zheng and his group, but he almost guessed the fact. Although the ship docked at the fishing port on the seaside did not have additional sailors for Xue Zheng and his group, it was just a ship with supplies.

The ship is empty, but someone is indeed arranging an escape route for them in advance. And the people who do this kind of logistics must be more familiar with the local environment than Xue Zheng and his group. If Xue Zheng and his group are spies from the Qing Dynasty, then

It is unlikely that the person who arranged a way out for them was from the same group as Xue Zheng.

While sorting out his thoughts in his mind, Bai Kesi said slowly: "No matter where this group of people come from and who they instruct, as long as everyone involved will definitely benefit from their intended goals. We should think about it carefully.

Who else is suspicious?"

Zhang Xindao: "Then can we deduce a new theory from the situation you mentioned, that is, if something happens to the crown prince of Joseon, the Qing Dynasty will benefit, and we can deduce the vested interests that may appear next after the Qing Dynasty profits?"

Bai Ke thought for a while and said: "What you said makes sense. If the Qing Dynasty had less military pressure from North Korea, it would have more room to deal with our country in the direction of the Liaodong Peninsula. The consequence would be that our country would have to fight in the direction of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Maintain a sufficient scale of garrison in the Jinzhou area. If our country has more troops stationed in the north, the number of troops stationed in the south will inevitably decrease..."

"Our main opponent is still in the direction of the South China Sea." Zhang Xin added in a timely manner.

Although Haihan had an opponent in the north, the Qing Dynasty, and they were at war with each other year after year, in fact, Haihan now did not have the energy to attack a country thousands of miles away, not to mention that the territory under the control of the Qing Dynasty was quite deep, and it was all in bitter cold places outside the customs.

, for the Haihan Army who was born in the south, it was not an environment suitable for large-scale operations. Therefore, after Haihan captured the area south of the Jinzhou Isthmus, he suspended his advance on the Liaodong Peninsula and only maintained the status quo to contain it.

The Qing Dynasty was unable to attack with all its strength in the two directions of Korea and Ming Dynasty.

But the real opponents that Haihan should be wary of are the Western colonial countries active in the South China Sea. Their development levels in navigation, military, commerce, etc. are closer to Haihan, and their competitive relationships and conflicts of interest are also closer.
