In this era, Confucianism was popular all over the world, and those in power believed that "the people can use it but not know it", so the establishment of a "library" was a treasonous thing in the Song Dynasty, and those corrupt Confucian officials would never allow such a thing
occur
. Tool: No advertisements, full text. It is a pity that in Goryeo, everything was decided by Wu Dong. Although Li Gang was also a Confucian scholar, he stayed in Liangshan for many years and was influenced by Wu Dong's political thoughts. Right and wrong.
On the contrary, I am in favor of it.
In fact, he knew Wu Dong's political thoughts very well. One is "military state" and the other is "democracy". The two go hand in hand. To "democracy", it is certain to open up the people's wisdom. And the establishment of a library allows all people to read.
It is a shortcut to open up people’s wisdom.
"Just having a library will not work if the people are illiterate. I have already prepared to set up a literacy class in Incheon City to allow people to go in and learn. Literacy classes can also be set up near Seoul to teach people how to read. In the future, if possible, it will be extended to the entire city.
Korea." Wu Dong said.
"Extension to the entire Goryeo? Do all Goryeo people also need to be literate?" Li Gang said in surprise.
"Not bad!" Wu Dong nodded.
"But... if all the Korean people are literate, they may oppose us in the future?" Li Gang said.
In Li Gang's view, it is feasible to open up people's wisdom, but it is not necessary for the Korean people. The brainwashing education for the Korean people is very good now. If the brainwashing continues, the Korean people will always be loyal to Liangshan. On the contrary, it will give
After the Korean people enlightened their people, they may understand the fact that they are the ruled. At that time, these Korean people may rise up to resist the rule of Liangshan.
"No! As long as we firmly grasp the content of the Korean people, over time, they will slowly be assimilated by us Han people and become part of the Han people. In the future, we must implement the same policies as the Han people for the Korean people. Only in this way can we
Really let them return to their hearts." Wu Dong said.
The reason why the previous implementation of "killing the local tyrants and dividing the land" and implementing brainwashing education similar to the nature of a pyramid scheme was mainly to extinguish the Korean people's sense of resistance so that they could rule this place faster. However, this kind of rule achieved nothing.
They are a group of "foolish people" and are detrimental to the future development of Liangshan.
Only by enlightening the people's wisdom, paying equal attention to democracy and the military and state is the way he wants to rule.
Standing on a city wall that has been built in Seoul, looking at the land in the distance, Wu Dong felt a little emotional in his heart. He didn't know what the future of this political path would be, but he believed that it would be better than now.
, at least we will never let China fall into the hands of foreigners, nor will we let China decline more and more under the influence of corrupt Confucianism.
Late that night, Wu Dong, Li Shishi and others settled in a village near Seoul. The people welcomed Wu Dong's arrival. The whole village came to pay homage to Wu Dong. It was not until late at night that things became quiet.
The next day, Wu Dong did not return to Incheon City, but went all the way west and south to inspect the situation in the Korean countryside.
After Goryeo implemented the Agrarian Revolution, everyone had land. This year, their enthusiasm for work was particularly high, and the harvest was particularly good! This place is very similar to the Han rural areas around Incheon City, except that every night they have to "remember"
"Bitter Thoughts and Sweetness" education, thank you Liangshan for your great kindness, thank you Wu Dong for your great kindness.
In the countryside of Goryeo, portraits of the "Great Leader" Wu Dong are everywhere, and you can often see people kneeling there to worship. This is also a unique scene in the countryside of Goryeo.
To this day, Liangshan's notice in Goryeo has been completely stabilized. The ordinary people of Goryeo are living and working in peace and contentment and will no longer oppose Liangshan. There are still some rebels in Goryeo, but those rebels are not popular. Even ordinary Goryeo people are not interested.
Accept the actions of these rebels.
After several days of inspection, Wu Dong felt that everything in Goryeo was in order and very prosperous. Wu Dong felt very happy.
In fact, Li Gang was mainly responsible for the civil affairs of Goryeo. Wu Dong now admired Li Gang's abilities very much.
"Li Gang is a talented prime minister! Let him govern a mere Goryeo, and he is overqualified and underused." Wu Dong thought to himself.
But there is nothing we can do about it. Liangshan does not have a larger territory now. As for Hedong and Liangshan Shuibo, it is too far away from Goryeo, and there are Song Dynasty, Khitan, and various forces in between.
With the current communication conditions, it is difficult to manage the three places in a unified manner.
"I don't know what's going on in Hedong and Liangshanbo?" Wu Dong thought to himself.
Naturally, intelligence from both sides is constantly sent to Korea, but the intelligence only describes some general situations. If you want to know the situation in those two places in detail, you need to go there and investigate in person. Unfortunately, Wu Dong does not have this at all now.
time.
"Husband, do you still want to go to the munitions camp?" Halfway to Incheon City, Master Li suddenly asked.
"Of course I want to go! The munitions battalion is currently developing artillery, and I don't know what the status of the development is." Wu Dong said.
"Artillery? Is it the super weapon that my husband said can kill thousands of people with one cannon?" Li Shishi asked curiously.
"Well! I originally thought it would be very difficult to develop artillery, but it's not as difficult as I thought! Ling Zhen is in charge of this matter, and I believe there are results." Wu Dong said.
That Ling Zhen was also one of the heroes of the Water Margin, known as "Hang Tian Lei". He was an artillery expert at the imperial court. When he came to Korea at the beginning of this year, Wu Dong assigned him the task of developing artillery.
.When Wu Dong came back from Japan some time ago, Ling Zhen said that the artillery was about to be developed. Now many days have passed, and there should be results.
Everyone headed towards the munitions camp. The munitions camp was a "battalion" in name, but in fact it was very large. The number of craftsmen in the entire munitions camp reached 30,000! Except for a small part who came from the capital of the Song Dynasty.
In addition to those who came out, the rest were hired from all over the Song Dynasty, and there were also some Goryeo, Dong
The craftsmen of Japan are here. Of course, the technology of Korea and Japan is very backward, far behind that of the Song Dynasty, and the level of their craftsmen is also quite limited. However, the craftsmen of Korea and Japan have some special skills. The Koreans are good at shipbuilding.
The Japanese are good at making knives, which the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty cannot match for the time being.
There are countless houses in the military quarters, and various jingling sounds are constantly coming from inside, which is obviously the craftsmen working.
"Now the munitions battalion can produce 5,000 crossbows a month. If the speed is accelerated, it can even produce 7,000 crossbows." Li Shishi said.
She has been in charge of the munitions camp before, so she also knows the situation of the munitions camp very well. Now, nearly half of the 30,000 craftsmen in the munitions camp are responsible for the production of crossbows, because crossbows have now become one of the main weapons in Liangshan.
1. 5,000 a month, 50,000 to 60,000 crossbows a year, enough to meet the needs of Liangshan.
"Quantity is important, but the improvement of technology is also very important! Master, we need to increase the rewards." Wu Dong suddenly said.
"Increase the reward? Husband, the reward is already very high! As for bows and crossbows, as long as someone can make a little improvement, it will be 50 taels of silver. Isn't that enough?" Li Shishi said in surprise.
50 taels of silver was enough for an ordinary family to eat and drink for several years. Wu Dong actually wanted to increase the amount. No wonder Li Shishi was surprised.
"It's not enough. It's far from enough. We still need to improve! After we go back, I will discuss the reward system with you, and then we will implement it immediately! We must encourage those craftsmen who can innovate and invent, and let those craftsmen
Understand that as long as you can make improvements or improvements in a certain technical aspect, or discover some principles that others cannot discover, you can gain wealth that ordinary people cannot obtain in their lifetime," Wu Dong said.
"Okay." Master Li nodded, but he still didn't agree with Wu Dong's statement.
The status of craftsmen in the Song Dynasty was extremely low. Even in the imperial court, the status of craftsmen was not high, and their income was very low, and they could not even support their families. Now the military quarters in Liangshan have taken great care of craftsmen, and the lives of craftsmen
The level has exceeded that of ordinary people. So Li Shishi finds it difficult to accept the continued increase in rewards. Of course, as a woman who has been instilled with the "three obediences and five virtues" since she was a child, she will not argue with Wu Dong at will. Since Wu Dong feels that
Yes, then she would agree with it.
When he came to the row of houses at the southernmost end of the military quarters camp, Wu Dong entered the largest house and finally saw Ling Zhen here.
Ling Zhen was concentrating on the artillery when Wu Dong suddenly came to him and said: "Ling Zhen, how is the artillery development going?"
"Ah? Grand Governor, why are you here? See Grand Governor!" Ling Zhen hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"Get up quickly!" Wu Dong smiled.
"Grand Governor, we have made the barrel of the artillery. Originally, I wanted to go to Incheon City to invite you to watch the artillery launch, but I was told that you went to other places. It's best if you come now. We will launch it today.
She cannon." Ling Zhen said.
"Can it be done today?" Wu Dong was overjoyed.
"Of course it's okay! The main thing is making the barrel. As long as the barrel is ready, everything else won't be a problem!" Ling Zhen said with a smile.
Everyone followed Ling Zhen forward, and when they came to the yard behind, they found a huge cannon barrel placed here, which was exactly the same as the "cultural relic" cannons that Wu Dong saw in later generations!
The huge cannon barrel, at least five meters tall, is entirely made of brass and covered with a piece of red cloth, making it look majestic.
"Grand Governor, in order to make this cannon barrel, more than 2,000 kilograms of brass were spent. This thing is extremely precious." Ling Zhen stroked the cannon barrel with his hand and said.
"Good stuff!" Wu Dong was also stroking the barrel of the gun with his hand, feeling unusually excited in his heart.
"Grand Governor, do you want to test the cannon now?" Ling Zhen said.
"Wait a moment." Wu Dong said.
