"Tell them, there is no need to worry. It is still in the war stage. Everything is for the sake of the war." After hearing Li Gang's words, Wu Dong shook his head and said.
"But Goryeo has now stabilized and the people live and work in peace and contentment. I think we should end military control, implement imperial examinations, and let civilians govern the world." Li Gang said.
"Let me think about it again," Wu Dong said.
In fact, the use of examination system to select officials will definitely be implemented in the future. History has proven that this is an effective and fair system. Even in later generations, all countries use the examination system to select civil servants.
It’s just that the content of the exam must not be Confucianism. Confucianism is too limited. It emphasizes the rule of virtue but neglects the rule of law, emphasizes self-discipline but neglects other disciplines, and emphasizes politics but neglects economics. Under the education of Confucianism, the only purpose of reading is "to learn well and become an official."
"Studying purely for the purpose of becoming an official will not be of much benefit to the overall development of society.
Confucianism can be used to educate the people, but it has too many flaws when used to govern the country.
China has seen constant changes in dynasties from ancient times to the present, and Confucianism is also an important reason for this.
Especially after the Song Dynasty, the Confucian school of Neo-Confucianism became rampant all over the world, and its disadvantages were even greater. The Chinese nation became more and more cowardly and bloodless. Talented people were excluded, and famous generals such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were ousted one after another.
The more mediocre people can get into high positions. The country began to sign various treaties with foreign nations, exchanging money and land for peace. Before the Song Dynasty, this had never happened.
It can be said that many changes in the Chinese nation began in the Song Dynasty. Because of the popularity of Neo-Confucianism, people's thinking became more and more rigid, more and more cowardly, and they were less and less afraid to stand out. Even before Wu Dong crossed over, this country was
That's it, it no longer has the bloody spirit and impetus of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Therefore, if we want this country to undergo fundamental changes, if we want the future of this nation to truly change, we must not continue to use Confucianism to govern the country. We must create a new set of ideas and concepts for governing the country.
Use this new thought and concept to educate the people. As for selecting officials in the future, we must also use this thought and concept as the basis.
If a pure Song Dynasty person wants to create a set of ideas and concepts out of thin air, it is simply impossible. Everyone has their own limitations of the times, and it is difficult to truly transcend their own times. But Wu Dong is not
It's the same, he comes from later generations, and has countless advanced thoughts and ideas from later generations in his heart, so he can create a new ideological system. In fact, he has been thinking about this aspect over the years, and now he has some ideas.
.
However, in this era, Confucianism has a huge influence. If you want to promote new ideas, there is huge resistance, and it needs to be promoted slowly and step by step. Full text without ads.
Now, Li Gang, a member of the Military Aircraft Department with a background as a Confucian Jinshi, is resistance. If Wu Dong wants to introduce his own new ideas, Li Gang may not agree.
"Grand Governor, we should make a decision on the imperial examination as early as possible." Li Gang saw Wu Dong's silence and said again.
"Okay, I will think about it carefully. By the way, there is an important thing for you to do now," Wu Dong said.
"I wonder what it is?" Li Gang asked curiously.
"I want you to go to Liaodong and be responsible for the civil affairs of Liaodong. We have just conquered a city, gained countless people, and obtained countless lands. Now these lands need to be distributed to those people so that they can start farming to make a living.
You need to do these things." Wu Dong said.
"I see, this is indeed a big event. Grand Governor, I wonder when I will set off?" Li Gang said.
"We will set off tomorrow. It is already the end of March, and we must race against time to do this. In fact, Hua Rong has already done this again, but he is still responsible for the war in the entire war zone and does not have more energy to take care of civil affairs, so I
That's why I sent you." Wu Dong said.
"Yes, I understand." Li Gang nodded.
The two discussed the civil situation in Liaodong carefully. The land in Liaodong was very fertile, even more fertile than the land in Goryeo. In later generations, Beidacang was a famous black land, but the population there was still a little small.
Wu Dong has decided to send all the people who migrated from the south of the Yangtze River to Liaodong to farm there. Moreover, after these people go to Liaodong, they can change the proportion of the population of various ethnic groups in Liaodong, which will also be of great benefit to the future rule of Liangshan.
After Li Gang heard Wu Dong's idea, he clapped his hands and praised it, agreeing very much.
"In fact, population is also a weapon. The population of our Song Dynasty far exceeds that of the Khitans, Jurchens, Dangxiang people, and those Bohai survivors. When our population here becomes more and more, sooner or later, this place will completely become
Our land." Wu Dong smiled.
"What the Governor said is that I will go to Liaodong tomorrow to do this," Li Gang said.
Wu Dong nodded. It was already extremely dark and it was almost midnight. Wu Dong personally sent Li Gang out and then returned to the room.
******
He still didn't fall asleep. In fact, he sent Li Gang to Liaodong. In addition to letting Li Gang handle the civil affairs of Liaodong, another important reason was to transfer Li Gang away so that he could implement new ideas of governing the country.
Improving the status of farmers and merchants that he and Li Gang mentioned before is just one of them, but this is just the beginning. There will be many drastic things to do later. These things will be generally supported by the lower class people, but Confucian scholars like Li Gang
He may not agree, so he must leave here to speak.
As for the war situation in the Northeast, it seems to have stabilized temporarily. Hua Rong's use of troops is indeed no small matter. Now the First Army and the Second Army have formed a long defense line in Liaodong. Wanyan Agu has launched several attacks, but has been unable to break through.
That line of defense. And Hua Rong is now digesting a large amount of what he gained from this war.
Resources, land, and population will be transformed into productive forces. He is doing these and will hand them over to Li Gang after Li Gang leaves. As for the more than 100,000 war horses obtained, Hua Rong has now distributed them to the army. He has decided to use Han Shizhong,
Liang Hongyu and Luan Tingyu took the lead, and established more cavalry, bringing the number of Liangshan cavalry to one hundred thousand.
All this will take time. After all the resources are absorbed, it will be time for another decisive battle with Wanyan Agu.
Wu Dong looked at the documents under the lamp and felt that there were so many things to deal with at the moment. Just a few days ago, there was another riot during the resumption of Korea's parliament. Although the impact was very small and it was quickly put out,
This shows that the idea of Koryo Zionism is still very promising. We also need to find ways to completely curb Koryo Zionism so that they will no longer have viability among the people.
Early the next morning, Li Gang left for Liaodong, while Wu Dong led dozens of guards toward Incheon City.
In Incheon Port, a large ship had just docked at the pier. Dozens of naval officers and soldiers got off the ship. Although one of these sailors was wearing a navy uniform, he gave people a nondescript look. This man looked a little obscene, but there was a look in his eyes.
Glossy.
"Incheon City, I'm finally back! That birdy place on Kyushu Island is full of Japanese people. It's really boring to me." After the man arrived at the pier, he burst out laughing.
"Mr. Wu, our Incheon city is still prosperous. It is much better than Kyushu Island. Are you staying here for a few days, or are you going to Beijing?" asked a naval officer next to him.
"Of course I'm going to Beijing. I'm going to see the Governor and report on the situation in Japan. How can we delay this?" The obscene middle-aged man in navy uniform was Wu Yong. Wu Yong glared at the naval officer and said.
"Hey, over there?" The naval officer ignored Wu Yong, but suddenly looked into the distance and said in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Wu Yong asked strangely.
"It seems to be the Grand Governor," the naval officer said.
"What?" Wu Yong was surprised. He looked carefully, but no, it was Wu Dong!
Wu Dong was coming here with his guards, and Wu Yong hurriedly ran towards Wu Dong after seeing Wu Dong.
"Grand Governor, why are you here?" Wu Yong saluted a very non-standard military salute and asked excitedly.
"You wrote a letter saying you were coming back. I guess it was just in the past few days, so I came to Incheon City to wait for you." Wu Dong said.
"Captain, is it true?" Wu Yong suddenly felt something.
"Of course it's true. You are one of the few friends I have. It's only right that I come to pick you up." Wu Dong smiled.
Speaking of which, Wu Yong has indeed been classified by him as one of his "friends" now. He is still in a cold position. Since he became the governor of Liangshan, he has fewer and fewer friends. Most people will only become his subordinates or enemies.
As for friends, perhaps only those who came out of Liangshanbo were his friends.
"Grand Governor, how dare I be your old man's friend?" Wu Yong said with a somewhat sarcastic smile.
"Okay, there's no need to go to Incheon City. Let's get on the boat now and take the boat to Kaijing." Wu Dong said.
Now everyone boarded the boat and headed towards the capital.
In the cabin, Wu Dong and Wu Yong were sitting opposite each other, enjoying hot tea and feeling very comfortable.
"How is Japan doing now?" Wu Dong said.
"Very good, Kyushu Island has stabilized. Those Japanese people are very patient, and until now, few have openly rebelled. However, there are some assassins who want to assassinate me, and I was almost injured. Grand Governor, I listen
They said they sent people to assassinate you, is that true?" Wu Yong said.
"Yes, but it's nothing serious. It's just a small assassination, but it can't be done again. I will get these things back with the Japanese people in the future," Wu Dong said.
"Grand Governor, are you really here to pick me up?" Wu Yong said with some doubt. He still found it unbelievable. In his heart, he was Wu Dong's loyal servant, and he never expected Wu Dong to really treat him as such.
Friend. So now I still can’t help but want to ask.
"What's so suspicious about this? In fact, I've been waiting for you to come back. I hope you can give me some advice." Wu Dong said.
"I wonder what it is?" Wu Yong said.
"A very important matter! Today in Goryeo, the people's ideas are outdated, which seriously hinders Goryeo's continued development. I want to completely change the people's ideas and launch a large-scale movement, and I need your help." Wu Dong said.
"Changing people's thinking? How do you say this?" Wu Yong said in surprise.
"Come and take a look, I wrote these during this period," Wu Dong said.
He handed a stack of paper to Wu Yong, who looked at it curiously.
