"It's done!"
With the implementation of the civil service system, public preschools across the country were successfully opened.
In this regard, even Zhuge Zhengwo, who had always been worried about Xu Yi's governance policy, couldn't help but bow his head in admiration.
"Your Majesty is truly a living saint!"
The saint Confucius only had seventy-two disciples. Xu Yi made tens of millions of people in the world literate and enlightened their wisdom. What is this but a living saint?
Not to mention, this series of policies don’t cost the people a penny, they are all borne by the state.
Free education for all!
With this alone, Xu Yi's status in Zhuge Zhengwo's heart has surpassed that of any emperor in the past dynasties.
Xu Yi's subsequent series of administrative measures made him regard him as the living Holy Emperor.
Get rid of corvée!
Tax relief!
Change the law!
Protect citizens!
······
Each one of these things is all based on the people at the bottom, protecting their interests and allowing them to live better and more like individuals.
It was precisely with the implementation of these policies that the people truly felt the benefits, and Xu Yi's prestige among the people began to skyrocket!
The people's recognition of the Wu Dynasty has surpassed that of the original Ming Dynasty in a very short period of time. If someone comes to them now and talks about "anti-military restoration of the Ming Dynasty", they will definitely slap him in the face immediately.
I'll give you a clear answer!
I am living a good life now!
Do you still want me to go back and live a life that is worse than shit?
Get the hell out of here as far as you can!
"The laws of the Wu Dynasty may be a bit cruel to the original middle and high-level people, but for the people at the middle and lower levels, it is indeed like a paradise!"
As a staunch defender of the Ming Dynasty, Zhuge Zheng and I have now rebelled.
Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?
Who is that? I do not recognize!
"However, although this is a good thing, in the long run, it may not be good for the country!"
Zhuge Zhengwo frowned. The financial source of the dynasty mainly came from the taxes of the people. Now that taxes have been reduced or reduced, the people's hearts have been gathered, but what about the national finance?
You can't always rely on Xu Yi for support!
He knew that Xu Yi was now very rich because of the little old man Wu Ming and various aristocratic families! Very rich!
Normal people would never be able to spend that money in ten lifetimes if they spent it on their own.
But if you use this money to support the country, and continue to support it in this way, the country's economy will collapse within thirty years at most!
"Don't worry, I've already prepared."
Xu Yi handed Zhuge Zhengwo some of the policies he was about to implement.
Zhuge looked down at me.
"Commercial tax? Salt and iron franchise? National Bank?"
Of these three, except for the salt and iron franchise, which he could roughly understand, he couldn't quite understand the other two items - it wasn't that he didn't understand what these two items meant, but that he couldn't figure out how much these two could really bring to the national finances. Revenue, the absence of alternative taxes?
“Not only can they replace taxes, but they can also bring us more fiscal revenue!”
Xu Yi smiled. It might be hard for people today to imagine that in later generations, agricultural taxes would even be canceled directly.
In 2005, the agricultural tax accounted for less than one percent of the entire country's tax revenue.
Although industrialization has not yet begun and there is no industrial tax, the income from Ming Dynasty's commercial tax and salt and iron monopoly is enough to make up for the lack of agricultural tax.
Not to mention, there is a big killer like the National Bank behind!
If this thing could be operated well, the entire country would not be short of money!
Although Zhuge Zheng didn't understand much, as a series of things happened, his trust in Xu Yi soared.
"Since His Majesty has already made arrangements, I won't say anything more. If I can get my hands on you, I will kill you! Go all out!"
"With Zhuge Aiqing's words, I feel at ease."
Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction, knowing that he had finally accepted Zhuge Zhengwo's heart.
It’s just that the problem of teachers has not been completely solved.
Although the big stick plus red dates policy is enough to make scholars all over the world "willingly" become teachers, after his series of policy reforms, they no longer need to worry about money in the future.
But he still doesn’t have enough math, physics and chemistry teachers!
"The quota for these teachers still has to fall on these millions of scholars!"
"And unlike before, I have to make them really willing to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry!"
Here comes the problem.
How to make them willing to learn?
To be a true saint and bring about intellectual revolution in the world?
You can do it this way, but it takes too long.
Confucian scholarship has become the mainstream academic world throughout the world since the Han Dynasty, when hundreds of schools of thought were dismissed and Confucianism was the sole focus. After more than a thousand years of evolution, these Confucian thoughts have already penetrated deep into the bones of the Chinese people.
In future generations, if we had not had those painful experiences of more than a hundred years, it would probably be difficult to break the minds of the Chinese people and truly accept a new knowledge system.
Xu Yi could of course rely on force and other methods to force them to accept him, but this kind of passive acceptance would be very inefficient.
In particular, this brand-new knowledge system is very likely to directly overthrow the dominance established by Confucianism for more than a thousand years.
This kind of difficulty is much more difficult than asking them to accept Xu Yi's unification of the world!
"In a normal world, if we want people to accept the knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry, I guess it would take several years or even ten years of subtle changes and publicity. But in this world..."
the next day.
The little old man Wu Ming, Zhu Wuwu, Mu Zhenren, Zhuge Zhengwo, Ye Gucheng, Ximen Chuixue, Cao Zhengchun, Liu Jiyan, Dabei Zen Master, Gusong Jushi...
All the known martial arts practitioners in the world appeared in the palace.
Everyone looked at each other, and although they said nothing, they knew in their hearts that something big was about to happen!
You know, even in the Battle of Wuming Island and the Battle of the Western Region, the number of martial arts practitioners was never so complete.
Now that Xu Yi has gathered all their martial arts practitioners together, there must be something earth-shattering happening!
Ta-ta-ta!
Xu Yilong walked out from behind with the posture of a king.
"His Majesty!"
Everyone stood up and bowed.
"Well, everyone, sit down."
Xu Yi sat on the dragon chair and pressed his hands casually.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone took their seats.
Xu Yi glanced around and noticed the different expressions of everyone. He looked calm and said calmly.
"The main reason for calling you here this time is to fulfill the promise I made to you before."
"promise?"
Everyone was slightly startled.
I was a little stunned for a moment.
"Somebody come!"
Xu Yi gave the order.
Two rows of young eunuchs came forward, each holding a mahogany tray with a blue and white book on it.
"Martial Arts?"
Everyone looked at the brand new books on it, and their faces were even more astonished.
"That's right! This is a martial art I created after sorting out my own martial arts."
"It redefines martial arts and divides the realm of martial arts into two realms, namely channeling and training!"
"There is no difference between the acquired and innate realms. They are all about opening up the meridians in the body. The only difference is probably that the innate realm has opened up the Ren and Du meridians, and can absorb spiritual energy from the heaven and earth to assist one's cultivation."
"But the "Martial Scripture" I created has directly opened up the Ren and Du meridians from the beginning, and can absorb the power of heaven and earth."
"Open up the Ren and Du meridian directly from the beginning?"
Some people present were surprised, but some people didn't take it seriously.
For example, the little old man Wu Ming shook his head.
"This kind of skill is good, but not everyone can learn it. There are so many mediocre people in the world, how can we understand the world of geniuses?"
Martial arts in this world have been developing for many years. Xu Yi also had a similar idea, wanting to directly create a martial art that could open up the Ren and Du meridian from the very beginning. However, these martial arts were without exception and almost all were lost. .
The answer is without exception, ordinary people cannot practice this kind of skill at all!
Even for martial arts geniuses, it is extremely difficult to practice this kind of technique. It does not mean that it cannot be practiced, it just means that it is very difficult and the speed is very slow. It is better to practice an ordinary technique!
"I know this, but I have reduced the difficulty through physical training. Warriors can practice physical training first and strengthen their bodies."
"Even for this purpose, I specially incorporated Shaolin's "Yi Jin Jing" and "Marrow Cleansing Sutra" and other exercises into it, which can greatly improve the talent of the warrior."
First train your body, improve your talents, and then practice, and finally achieve the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort!
Moreover, warriors can also cultivate both Qi and Qi, making their combat power even more powerful than that of normal warriors!
Of course, what's more important is that this martial art is not limited to qualifications. Even people with extremely poor qualifications can learn it!
"Using physical training as a breakthrough, and then using "Yi Jin Jing", "Marrow Cleansing Sutra" and other exercises as assistance, can ordinary people become geniuses? What an amazing idea!"
The little old man Wu Ming looked at the "Martial Arts" in his hand. With his level of martial arts, he could naturally understand the greatest advantage of this technique very quickly.
"But, how come there is so much... medical knowledge in this skill?"
"To be precise, it should be biological knowledge. Medicine can be regarded as a branch or derivative of biology."
"biology?"
"good!"
Xu Yi nodded and said.
"Physical training techniques can prolong life. Every time they reach a state, their life span can be increased to a certain extent. However, because warriors know too little about themselves, or life, when they practice physical training techniques, not only can they not Extending one’s lifespan actually greatly reduces one’s own lifespan!”
"The biology I'm talking about is a system of knowledge and theory that can help warriors understand themselves and life!"
“Extended life?!”
Xu Yi said a lot, but most of it was ignored by everyone present. They only paid attention to the two core words.
Extend your life!
But in life, there is only one core appeal - to live!
Because there is no guarantee that one's own body will remain alive, life has derived demands for mating. In order to ensure mating or the continuation of one's own genes, life has derived demands for love, family affection, friendship, etc.
It can be said that the core and fundamental source of all demands in life lies in living.
This is the most instinctive desire originating from life!
The little old man Wu Ming asked immediately.
"Can physical training really extend life?"
"Indeed!"
Xu Yi affirmed.
"Theoretically, if a warrior who has perfected Zang training has not damaged himself, his maximum lifespan should be one hundred and fifty years."
"If you reach the realm of marrow training, you can increase your life span even more. Each time you train marrow, you can increase your life span by fifteen years. After four times of marrow training, the theoretical limit of a warrior's lifespan should be 210 years!"
"Two hundred and ten years old? Two hundred and ten years old!"
Everyone present was breathing rapidly and began to become uneasy.
That’s two hundred and ten years old!
Even if they have reached the realm of acuity training, their lifespan is basically only about a hundred years old, which is almost equivalent to directly more than doubling their lifespan!
"This, this... Your Majesty, is there any chance of saving someone like me?"
The little old man Wu Ming asked excitedly and anxiously.
He has practiced marrow three times, but not only has his lifespan not increased, but he has also suffered considerable damage, which has reduced his lifespan.
"Your situation...is a bit troublesome, but it's not completely impossible."
Xu Yi glanced at the little old man Wu Ming. The first sentence made him tremble, but the second sentence gave him new hope.
Next, Xu Yi did not continue to mess with his mentality, but said directly.
"If you can study biology to an extremely deep level and then adjust yourself based on this knowledge, your lifespan should theoretically be increased to 150 to 180 years."
"One hundred and eighty years? One hundred and eighty years!"
The little old man Wu Ming kept mumbling this number, with a look of regret on his face for a while, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
After practicing the marrow three times, the theoretical maximum lifespan is one hundred and ninety-five years!
There is no doubt that because of his own indiscretions, his fifteen years of life have been completely lost, and there is no way he can get it back.
Even if he studied biology to the extreme and used this knowledge to completely regulate his body, it would only extend his lifespan to one hundred and eighty years at most.
"If you add the fourth marrow training, your life span should be increased to 195 years!"
The little old man Wu Ming comforted himself in this way. He was very confident about whether he could learn biology, and he was even more confident about practicing marrow for the fourth time.
If he wanted to, he could even do his fourth marrow training now!
The reason why he didn't start the fourth marrow training was simply because this thing was deadly before!
How could he, who already had a short lifespan, dare to practice marrow training for the fourth time?
But things are different now.
This is a treasure that can increase your lifespan!
"The only question now is... how do I get that biological knowledge?"
The little old man Wu Ming's expression changed many times, and then he sighed in his heart, hunched over and said tremblingly.
"Your Majesty, I wonder what conditions are needed to grant this supreme biological knowledge?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly.
