Chapter 547 Examination and University
"We can just go back to Liaodong by ourselves, and you, the Governor, will personally send us back. How dare we do that?" Haibie said in disbelief outside Yanjing City.
"I am afraid that the people below will not take good care of me, so I must go to Liaodong to take a look! Moreover, this time I am not only going to Liaodong, I also want to go to Korea. Now there are many important things in Korea waiting for me to deal with.
!" Wu Dong said.
"I wonder what important matter it is?" Haibie said in surprise.
Haibie was the brother of Wang Gubu Great Khan, and his knowledge was better than others. Before deciding to take refuge in Liangshan, he sent people to carefully investigate the situation in Liangshan. He knew that Goryeo was the first place Liangshan occupied.
It has been more than ten years now. After ten years of development, the people of Goryeo live and work in peace and contentment, and the politics of Goryeo are extremely stable. It can be said that Goryeo is the place where problems are least likely to occur in Liangshan.
Nothing important can happen here. Moreover, now that Liangshan has just conquered Xixia, it will take a long time, manpower and material resources for them to govern Xixia, and they may face many problems. Xixia is the focus now! Even if they ignore Xixia
Regarding the matter, the Song Dynasty in the south is the only big enemy of Liangshan now. Wu Dong should handle the affairs of Xixia or Song Dynasty in Yanjing City. Why is he going to Goryeo now?
"There are some things in Goryeo that are related to the future of Liangshan, so I want to go!" Wu Dong said with a smile.
Seeing that Wu Dong didn't give him a detailed explanation, Haibie was still curious, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
This time they went all the way north from Juyongguan. Now the road from Yanjing City to Juyongguan has been opened. The road from Juyongguan to Zhongjing and Tokyo further north has also been opened! The road can carry more than ten carriages at the same time, and it is unusually wide.
, and the road is extremely smooth and solid, when Haibie comes
He passed by here, and he was still amazed when he passed by again! The distance from Zhongjing, Shangjing to Yanjing is extremely long, and to build such a long road, it takes time, manpower, and material resources beyond imagination.
Only a big country like Liangshan could build such an incredible road!
"You have arrived in Liaodong. Are supplies scarce now? What is missing? Can everyone have enough to eat?" Wu Dong asked along the way.
"The materials are quite abundant. Liangshan has given us a lot of things. Now everyone can have enough to eat! However, what we eat are the grains of you Central Plains people, and our people are not used to it! Grand Governor, we need horses or cattle
Sheep! When we first left the Wanggu tribe, in order to prevent us from being discovered by the Great Khan, we left in a hurry, and many of the cattle, sheep, and horses were not brought with us!" Haibie said.
"We can provide you with these things! There are also large areas of pasture in Liaodong, and you can also graze! You can just live there!" Wu Dong said with a smile.
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!" Hai said goodbye.
"Since you are in Liangshan, you must abide by the laws of Liangshan! As long as you don't violate the laws, even the government can't embarrass you! But once you violate the laws, your property will be confiscated in the lightest case, or executed in the worst case. You must remember this.
Come on! From now on, the people of your tribe will also have to learn some knowledge, just like us Han people." Wu Dong said.
"Studying is not necessary?" Haibie said hesitantly.
"Do you know why we Han people are strong? It is precisely because we Han people are good at learning. For thousands of years since ancient times, our cultural heritage has always been profound. Even if barbarians occasionally invade the Central Plains, it won't be long before we Han people will rise again.
! Our culture lasts forever, so our civilization also lasts forever, and we will become stronger and stronger! If you learn from us, you will eventually become stronger!" Wu Dong said.
Haibie could only nod his head!
Just now Wu Dong spoke forcefully and could not allow him to refuse, and now he has no courage to refuse! Since they left Wanggu's tribe, they have been scattered and arranged by Liangshan in various places in Liaodong. Although they have received a lot of supplies, their overall strength
But it is much weaker! Now, Haibie only has more than 1,000
They are a relatively large gathering place of Turks. In many places, only a few hundred or even dozens of Turks gather together! Now, Haibie even regrets his previous decision.
I feel like I shouldn’t have come here from the grassland, but unfortunately it’s too late to regret it now!
Their 50,000 Turks are distributed throughout Liaodong, and there are countless Han villages among them. Now the number of Han people around them is dozens or hundreds of times that of them! Moreover, these Han people are also very different from the legend.
The difference! In the legend of the grassland, the Han people are cowardly and honest, but in fact
, they have dealt with the Han people in these days. Many of the Han people are wearing weapons, bows and arrows. Many Han people are very brave. These Han people dare to take risks. Once the Han people and the Turks fight, the Han people will never back down.
Whether justified or not, the Han people will help their own people...
Because of the successful road construction, it is now faster to get from Yanjing to Goryeo than before. By February 20, Wu Dong and his party had arrived at the place where the Thousand Miles of Great Wall used to be! The Thousand Miles of Great Wall is still so majestic, knowledge
Now there are not many garrison troops on the Great Wall. At the pass, Zhu Guizheng is waiting for Wu Dong with hundreds of soldiers.
"See the Grand Governor!" Seeing Wu Dong and others arriving from a distance, Zhu Gui hurriedly greeted them, he said excitedly.
"Zhu Gui, long time no see, you seem to be much thinner than before! It seems that you are very tired as the governor of Korea!" Wu Dong said with a smile.
"The Governor made fun of me. In fact, I, the governor of Goryeo, really didn't do anything! In Goryeo, almost everything was handled by Qin Hui, and now I am actually his deputy! You also know who I am.
, I don’t have the ability to manage the place. When I started to take charge of my own affairs, I was always in a hurry! The reason why I became thinner was because these things were beyond my ability and my burden was too heavy." Zhu Gui smiled bitterly.
road.
"Zhu Gui, I don't think it's better than this. You come back to the military headquarters with me this time. From now on, you will still be responsible for the work of the Intelligence Department. Qin Hui will be responsible for the management of Gaoli. What do you think?" Wu Dong thought for a while and said.
"I can't get it!" Zhu Gui said.
Zhu Gui was very excited. For more than a year, he had been feeling at a loss! He was a veteran in the early days of the establishment of Liangshan, but he had been handling intelligence work since the establishment of Liangshan. That was his specialty. Now let him
He manages the place, but he really can’t do it well!
"Let's talk as we walk! How is the preparation work for the university going recently?" Wu Dong, Li Gang, Zhu Gui and others rode forward, Wu Dong said.
"It's almost ready! The university is right next to the Academy of Sciences. From now on, scholars from the Academy of Sciences will serve as teachers at the university! Since the New Year, Mr. Qin and the group of people from the Academy of Sciences are preparing for the new examination!" Zhu Guidao.
"This is the first time for the new examination. It is very important. That's why I came here with Li Gang! I hope that through the new examination, we can select talents who are truly useful to the country and the people, instead of just selecting a few."
You rotten scholar who knows how to read! I am eager to see what the test questions are this time! Let’s go, let’s speed up!” Wu Dong galloped forward and said with a big smile.
They did not stop at the Great Wall and galloped forward. On the way, they did not enter the city and did not alert officials from various places. Many Goryeo officials did not even know that Wu Dong was coming to Goryeo.
Now Goryeo is already a busy scene, and countless farmers have begun to engage in early spring farm work. Now Goryeo's agriculture is much more developed than before, mainly due to the construction of various water conservancy facilities. The entire Goryeo has extremely large areas from north to south.
Many water canals ensure that irrigation can reach every part of the country. With the help of these water conservancy facilities,
Even if there are floods and droughts, farmers can guarantee a certain harvest. In addition to water conservancy facilities, agricultural tools have also developed greatly. Because of the improvement in steel production and steel quality, agricultural tools are more abundant and more advanced than before. Again
Coupled with changes in the system and all these conditions combined, the current yield of Goryeo's farmland is several times that of before.

At this moment in Kaijing City, a dozen young people gathered in a house. They were all fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were all young.
Many people hold notebooks in their hands and are studying hard.
"There are too many and complicated things in "Science", including arithmetic, the study of things, engineering, business, and even agriculture. Why do we need to learn so many things? In all dynasties, these things have never been tested.
Yes!" A young man was already dizzy, he couldn't help but said.
"Throughout the dynasties, studying was just to be an official! If you can't become an official, then studying is of no use! We in Liangshan are different from previous dynasties. Studying is to truly master knowledge and be truly useful to the country and the people, rather than just doing
You idiot! I think this science must be learned!" A young man next to him shook his head.
"The university exam will be held soon. I heard that after entering university, our identities will be very different! In the future, national officials will even be selected from universities. Is this true?" asked a young man.
"This is true! From now on, some of the officials in various places will be selected from the military, some will be selected from the grassroots officials in various places, and some will be selected from universities!" someone said.
"I heard that in the future, the country will build many universities so that most people can enter them. I don't know whether it is true or not."
"No one knows this..."
"Nowadays, the status of sage studies is getting lower and lower, and it is almost the same as those of miscellaneous studies!"
"Although the studies of saints are important, miscellaneous studies are also very important! Without miscellaneous studies, the country cannot develop! For example, agriculture is the basis for people's survival. If someone studies agronomy painstakingly, the yield of crops can be doubled.
Wouldn’t that benefit the people, and wouldn’t it be more important than the learning of saints?”
"That makes sense!"
"You still need help with this question..."
Chapter completed!
