After solving the Turks and Goguryeo, the area around Wu Dynasty instantly became clean, and no country dared to grin at Wu Dynasty.
Goguryeo can be ignored, but the Turks are the absolute military power of this era!
Even if it is divided into two Turks, the Eastern Turks, the military strength of the Eastern Turks is still formidable. Let alone the land of Eurasia, even if it is put in the entire world, the military strength of the Eastern Turks can be ranked first during the same period. Among the top five in the world, even the top three in the world!
Such a super military power almost spent all its capital and gathered an army of 300,000 to conquer the Wu Dynasty. However, as soon as it reached the border town of the Wu Dynasty, it was slapped away.
Who do you think didn’t panic after hearing the news?
For a while.
Not to mention that they want to cause trouble for the Wu Dynasty, the surrounding countries are all worried about whether it will be their turn next!
Various countries quickly dispatched envoys to Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Wu Dynasty, to present their credentials, hoping to build friendship between the two countries.
Well.
This is a statement of high emotional intelligence.
The term for low emotional intelligence is to bow down and be willing to serve the Wu Dynasty as the superior country and act as the Wu Dynasty's younger brother.
With the arrival of a large number of envoys from various countries, the Wu Dynasty, which had just been established, already had the flavor of the day when the Tang Dynasty would be at its peak and all nations would come to the country.
After these two wars, the Wu Dynasty has completely established its absolute dominance in this pan-East Asian region!
In the past, the ministers of the Wu Dynasty might be proud of this, be complacent, and finally accept the requests of various countries with a proud attitude.
After all, in their eyes, these small foreign countries have little profit and water. Even if they are wiped out all of them and occupy their land, it will be of no use.
Even in order to manage this land, they have to spend a large amount of income every year, which is completely worth the loss.
It is better to accept the tribute from these small countries, get a part of the tribute every year, and then let them manage this area by themselves.
From an economics perspective, this is not a problem.
This is what the future Empire on which the sun never sets will do. Although they have a large number of colonies, the people who are actually responsible for managing them are the 'locals'.
What they do is to intercept the wealth of this land through 'doing business'.
As for the troublesome things like development and management, they usually do not participate in it, which is not worth the gain for them.
Similarly, for today's Wu Dynasty, occupying the land of these small countries is actually not worth the gain - they can't even send out enough managers.
The land is barren and has no development value, so why should they occupy it?
They couldn't figure it out anyway.
But that was all before.
After Xu Yi broadened their horizons, they no longer only set their sights on East Asia, but on the wider world!
Not to mention how rich the resources are in the fertile lands around the world, the supreme achievement of occupying the entire world and unifying the entire world is enough to make all the ministers of the Wu Dynasty excited.
Become the only unified dynasty in the history of Blue Star!
What a great and desirable goal this is.
Under Xu Yiping's indoctrination, intentionally or unintentionally, the entire Wu Dynasty had already regarded global unification as its future goal.
Under this great goal, these small countries naturally have to make a little 'contribution'.
Of course.
This time is not now.
When the Wu Dynasty was first established, many internal matters had not yet been resolved, coupled with the lack of talent—mainly middle- and lower-level management talents.
It is really not a good thing for them to occupy various small countries now.
Ever since.
At Xu Yi's suggestion.
The ministers greeted the envoys from these countries with smiles. As for forming alliances and bowing their heads? Let’s talk about that later!
Of course, these are the actions of the ministers, but what they show, at least in the eyes of the small countries, is that the powerful Wu Dynasty is very satisfied with their performance and entertains them warmly. It seems that they are not willing to treat them. They take action.
For a while.
All kinds of good names and flattery were said by them, and those countries in the grassland established by tribes directly called Xu Yi the 'Khan of Heaven'!
Xu Yi is said to be more noble than their Khan! Even greater!
Well.
So be it!
Anyway, Xu Yi had no idea about this title, and he never even received envoys from these small countries from beginning to end, leaving everything to the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs - this is the only thing they can do at the moment.
Soon, when the world is unified, it is estimated that there will be no doubt whether the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can still exist.
Now that the world is unified, who can the Ministry of Foreign Affairs still communicate with? Aliens?
Well.
It's not impossible.
Different from the previous life, in the previous life, although Xu Yi also played a great role in the modernization process of his dynasty.
In the end, he even helped his dynasty evolve from an ancient feudal dynasty to a level equivalent to the 1910s and 20s of the 21st century in just a hundred years.
But in fact, Xu Yi only interfered with certain key aspects. The development of the entire civilization still relied on the joint efforts of a large number of talents.
With the joint efforts of hundreds of millions of people, it was possible to accomplish such an incredible thing in just a hundred years.
It wasn't that Xu Yi didn't want to help more, but that he was just an ordinary person in his previous life, and at most he had completed a normal university education.
If he didn't have a memory palace that could recall all the knowledge from primary and secondary school, coupled with the cheating state of seriousness and even comprehension, he might not be able to play much role.
Not so now.
Xu Yi has incorporated all the knowledge from his previous life into his memory palace. To put it simply, he has installed a 21st century civilization in his mind.
Under such circumstances, if he develops a civilization, it will be a completely different concept.
Even if this era is more 'backward' than the previous world, he can develop it to the level of modern civilization at an unimaginable speed.
The only problem is the acceptance of this era.
for example.
When Xu Yi took out the nine-year compulsory education and related books in the court.
Immediately, a large number of officials stood up to oppose it.
"Your Majesty! The contents in these books are completely out of touch with the teachings of Confucius and Saints, and are against ethics! I think this is inappropriate!"
"I second my opinion! How can such a deviant doctrine become the mainstream in the world?"
"I also hope that Your Majesty will take the millions of scholars in the world seriously! This kind of theory must not be promoted!"
In the court, nearly a quarter of the ministers stood up and stated the harm these books would bring. Their words were so fierce that it was like touching their back scales!
In fact, this did touch their reverse scales.
Because these people are Confucian.
They have no objections to nine-year compulsory education and even welcome it with both hands.
This is a move to educate the world!
Isn’t this what their Confucians pursue throughout their lives?
But they disagree with the content of the nine-year compulsory education.
What about mathematics, biology, and chemistry? If this knowledge is really circulated throughout the world and allowed to be learned by people all over the world, then where will their Confucianism be?
be opposed to!
strongly oppose!
The expressions of all the ministers at this moment were even worse than a dead mother, and they loudly opposed Xu Yi's move.
On the dragon throne.
Xu Yi watched all this with a calm expression.
In "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Confucianism does not seem to have a big presence. The real mainstream is the two paths of Buddhism and Demon. The dispute between Buddha and Demon almost runs through the entire book.
It's even called 'The Legend of Two Dragons', but the core fighting parties in the whole book can always be said to be Buddha and Demon.
Whether it is Kou and Xu or the Li clan behind them, they all seem to be just pawns in the hands of Buddha and Demon, using them to fight for the ownership of the world.
In this process, Confucianism can be said to have no sense of existence, and you can hardly see them 'fighting'.
But if you think that Confucianism is weak, you are wrong, and you are absolutely wrong!
They don't fight, it's because they don't need to fight at all.
Since the Han Dynasty, they have become the most prominent school in the world through their connection with the imperial power.
Let's put it this way, no matter who becomes the emperor, as long as they want to secure the throne and rule the world from generation to generation, they must reuse their Confucianism.
Because they Confucians help the emperor control all the people in the world!
Just looking at the current court, Xu Yi just took out the nine-year compulsory teaching materials, and a quarter of the ministers jumped out to object, which shows how deeply Confucianism has penetrated into this court.
If we add those who have not come forward, it is no exaggeration to say that Confucianism occupies half of the world.
They usually keep quiet because there is nothing worth doing for them, and they even have various internal conflicts.
The conflicts in the court are sometimes even greater than those between the demon sects. In this case, they naturally cannot make much noise.
But now, the release of the nine-year compulsory textbook has undoubtedly stirred up a hornet's nest and exploded them all.
A group of ministers described a large number of harms one after another, and even used the term "endangering the imperial power".
Seeing that there was still no change on Xu Yi's face, some ministers looked fierce and used their last resort - to remonstrate to death!
"If Your Majesty does not agree, then I will be killed in this hall today!"
He looked determined, as if he was about to sacrifice his life at any moment.
This is not verbal intimidation.
Xu Yi could feel his heart. If he really didn't agree to it, he would really crash to death in this hall!
Since ancient times, there has never been a shortage of people who chose to sacrifice their lives for the sake of their reputation.
Today’s battle is a battle of doctrines!
To put it seriously, it is even a battle of life and death for Confucianism!
If he could die in such a fight, how high would his reputation among Confucianists be in the future?
He truly sacrificed his life for the future of Confucianism!
In the future, his status in Confucianism, even if it is not as good as the most famous Confucian semi-sages, will still be comparable to the top Confucian scholars, right?
Many people who think about this can't help but feel great regret.
Why didn't I think of this earlier?
Some smarter people also stood up at this time.
"Chen Li... would rather be killed in this hall!"
"Chen Huang... would rather be killed in this hall!"
"Chen Zhong... would rather be killed in this hall!"
All of a sudden.
A total of more than ten ministers stood up and said that if Xu Yi did not take back his life, they would be killed immediately in the hall.
Of course, compared to the first one, these people are relatively less determined.
He even had the idea that the law should not be punished, thinking that with so many people together, Xu Yi would not really attack them.
After all, the impression Xu Yi gave them before was that he wouldn't kill anyone if he didn't. As long as it didn't involve his bottom line, the problem wouldn't be too serious.
And the one in front of them happened to be within the range that they thought would not be too serious.
"alright."
Xu Yi finally spoke.
The ministers who stood up were overjoyed, feeling that Xu Yi had finally changed!
Xu Yi glanced at the court briefly.
"Are you the only ones who want to die?"
More than a dozen ministers came out:? ? ?
Why does this tone sound a little wrong?
Some people have already been kicked in their hearts and have the idea of retreating.
The same Tietou from the beginning stood up and said loudly.
"If your Majesty does not agree, then I will remonstrate with you!"
"very good!"
There was no expression on Xu Yi's face, he just waved his hand casually.
"Then go to hell!"
Bang! ! !
In an instant, more than a dozen ministers were blown away and turned into blood mist, which fell on the shocked and shocked faces of the surrounding ministers, making them look particularly terrifying.
"Who else wants to die?"
Xu Yi said.
Above the court, there was silence.
No one dared to speak. Wherever Xu Yi's eyes fell, the ministers there lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look directly.
What's more, some ministers have quietly retreated, pretending that nothing happened.
For example, Shi Zhixuan, Song Que, Li Yuan and others all followed their ears, nose and nose from beginning to end, as if all this had nothing to do with them.
"Yu Wenhuaji!"
"I'm here!"
"The people who died just now had all their property confiscated! Also, please check carefully for any crimes in their families. If there are any crimes, we will never forgive them!"
"I accept the decree!"
Xu Yi would definitely not do anything like harming his family, now that the Wu Dynasty has established a perfect legal system.
But if they themselves committed something...then they can't blame others!
Who allowed themselves to sin?
After this incident.
The nine-year compulsory education was finally launched smoothly, and no one dared to interfere with it.
In addition, no one stood up to oppose any of Xu Yi's subsequent orders.
No matter how outrageous the orders he issued were, no matter how harmful they were to their own interests, everyone's only response was to obey.
Because they already know it.
In the Wu Dynasty, the orders issued by Xu Yi could only have one voice, and that was obedience!
