Zhuge Liang roughly flipped through a few books and felt that the level of exegesis was generally very high, and the classics from the pre-Qin period can now be understood here.

"With such a large library in Guangzhou Academy, will all the bookshelves be filled in the future?" Zhuge Liang asked his soul question.

Lan Tian nodded slightly: "I hope it can be completed in ten years."

"If talents continue to gather in Guangzhou, we may not necessarily have to wait ten years, maybe seven or eight years will be enough." Zhao Shuang nodded and analyzed.

Zhuge Liang heard the two people's answers and knew that they were not talking big words, so he sighed with emotion: "The students of Guangzhou Academy are so lucky. The students have passed the exam and become officials. Ziyu is still adding new books. It seems that he has other ideas.

..."

"I once told the king about this question. There are visible soldiers and invisible soldiers in the world. There are the strongest and indestructible soldiers in the world, and there are the softest and silent soldiers in the world. Our books are the silent soldiers that moisturize things.

Soldier." Lan Tian nodded and replied seriously.

What Lan Tian said was very profound. Zhao Yun, Liu Xi, Zhao Shuang and others who were traveling with him could not fully understand it. Even the smartest Zhuge Liang seemed to understand. He asked curiously: "Ziyu uses books as soldiers? Really?"

This is a shocking statement. Can you explain it more clearly to clear up the confusion?"

"Sir, please clear up my doubts." Liu Xi and Zhao Shuang also handed over.

Lantian Zhengse said: "The First Emperor unified the world and implemented the same writing system. This policy unified the culture of all ethnic groups in China, and books are the artifacts that carry culture. We, the Han Dynasty, have followed this policy for hundreds of years. Now no one regards people from Chu and Qi as

, do the people of the Yan State call themselves themselves? Because with the continuation of culture, the influence of the original tribes, clans, and vassal states has been diluted, and they all call themselves the people of the Han Dynasty to the outside world, right?"

Zhao Yun frowned with a puzzled expression on his face: "Is there any connection between what Mr. just said and using books as soldiers?"

"Haha, of course there is. Zilong's hometown is Zhending in Changshan. The Wuhuan, Xiongnu and other foreign tribes outside the Great Wall often cross the Great Wall to plunder. No matter how many times they are defeated, they can never be stopped, right?" Lan Tian asked again.

"That's true, but it has nothing to do with books..." Zhao Yun stopped talking.

Lan Tian continued to explain: "Conquering the enemy by force can only make the enemy surrender superficially. The northern grasslands have been invaded by nomads since ancient times. In the Shang Dynasty, there were ghosts, in the Zhou Dynasty, there were dogs and soldiers, and in the Xiongnu, I, the Han Dynasty, also had Xiongnu, and now there are also Xiongnu in the north.

The Xiongnu, as well as the Wuhuan and Xianbei, have always been enemies of the Central Plains, mainly due to the difficult conditions of the nomadic tribes, and because of different languages ​​and cultures, so they have to fight to rob supplies and people.

In the future, when the king unifies the world, sends troops to completely eliminate the threat of the northern grasslands, and promotes the culture of the Central Plains in the grasslands, let the grassland herdsmen learn our writing, learn the cultural knowledge of our Han people, and cultivate their identification with the Chinese language of the Central Plains, wait until you

When there is me and you, will the grassland people still fight against us? If we encounter difficulties on the grassland, we can ask the emperor of Han for help. If there is a famine in the Central Plains, the grassland people can also support their cattle and sheep."

"Ziyu wants to tame the foreign tribes in the north?" Zhuge Liang was shocked.

Lan Tian shook his head gently: "It's not about taming but cultural recognition. Just treat them as Han people. You are all well-educated people. You should know that Huo prostituted and Yao sealed the wolf and lived in Xu. We have fought with the Xiongnu for hundreds of years.

, so far they have not been able to completely eliminate them, and other new threats have emerged, so conquest by force cannot be achieved once and for all."

Zhao Yun was the least knowledgeable among the people. He clasped his fists in embarrassment and asked: "Sir's words made Yunmao suddenly understand, but the foreign races in the north are all cunning and greedy, and they do not understand our language. Even if they intend to send books from the Central Plains, they may not be able to do so."

Even if you can understand it, you may not be able to learn it. Although the cultural identity you mentioned is inspiring, it is too difficult to realize..."

Everyone couldn't help but nodded. Zhao Yun's doubts were also everyone's doubts. They all looked to Lan Tian for answers.

Lantian smiled leisurely and said: "First, use iron and blood methods to make them submit. Second, move the Han people to northern Xinjiang to live together with the Hu people. Finally, select those who are aware of current affairs among the Hu people and use them as examples to promote the technology and culture of the Central Plains in the grasslands.

Compared with the hunger and death on the grasslands, the Hu people will not suffer from learning something from the Central Plains. If the older Hu people are unwilling to learn, or cannot learn, we will start with the young Hu people and directly adopt the current model of Jiaozhou, through running schools and selection

Official promotion, what do you think?"

"Ziyu has a great idea, but I don't know if it is feasible or not, otherwise you would have been planning for decades..." Zhuge Liang looked serious.

"Cultural invasion is like water dripping through a stone, moistening things silently. It will take at least several generations to truly achieve cultural identity. As for whether it is feasible or not, time will tell.

I have selected hundreds of Han officials to be sent to Rinan. They will set up Mongolian schools in various counties of Rinan. Outstanding Zhan people can also come to Guangzhou Academy for further studies. In a few decades, we will see the changes in Zhan people.

Even if the cultural invasion fails in the end, the actions of Guangzhou Academy today can benefit the Han people and open up their people's wisdom, so that scholars and common people can read and know etiquette." Lan Tian replied sonorously.

"Cai..." Zhao Shuang was so excited that he applauded first, and the others followed suit.

"The idea of ​​using culture as a weapon is refreshing. This trip is really worthwhile. Please accept my thanks..." Zhuge Liang bowed and saluted.

Lan Tian supported Zhuge Liang and said modestly: "Prime Minister, please don't do this. Whether it succeeds or not still needs to be verified..."

"Ziyu has never disappointed anyone. We have been staying in Guangzhou Academy for a long time, now we want to change places?" Zhuge Liang suggested, pointing to the door.

"That's fine." Lan Tian then walked out of the library side by side with Zhuge Liang.

Zhao Shuang originally wanted to invite the distinguished guests to have lunch in the academy, but finally gave up due to the look in Liu Xi's eyes. Lan Tian and Zhuge Liang were both practical men, and they would not waste time on eating and drinking.

After leaving Guangzhou Academy, Zhuge Liang suggested going to Liucao to have a look. He was very interested in the new Yamen in Jiaozhou.

Lan Tian pointed to the next door and suggested: "Next door is the Guangzhou Medical College. Why don't the Prime Minister go in and take a look? If there are any shortcomings, I can give you some advice."

"No need, right? Liang doesn't know much about medicine..." Zhuge Liang shook his head.

"Mr. Hua happened to be here today. Yuan Zhi (Xu Shu) and Xiao Zhi (Fazheng) came to Jiaozhou before, but they both asked him to check the pulse. The prime minister asked him to check the pulse so as not to suffer any loss." Lan Tian smiled and extended the invitation.

"I'm in good health..."

Zhuge Liang still wanted to refuse, but Zhao Yun also began to agree, "We are all here, why don't we listen to General Lan's suggestion? Can I also ask Mr. Hua to diagnose my pulse?"

"Of course you can, Zilong." Lantian said with a bright smile on his face, thinking that you worked hard to cooperate, and judging from your complexion, you can tell that your body is as good as an ox.
