Yang Ji was busy in the next few days. On the one hand, he was planning to build a private school and prepare to invite the children of domestic soldiers and slaves to study. Children under the age of twelve would be set up as enlightenment classes. This level would mainly focus on literacy, supplemented by historical figures. Growth stories can expand their thinking and instill moral concepts such as loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, and trustworthiness. At the same time, they can also find role models in the stories and establish a relatively vague development direction. Slightly older children, in addition to receiving enlightenment education, also have the task of military training.
However, Dugumin told Yang Ji that most domestic slaves over the age of thirteen were literate, which surprised and delighted Yang Ji. After asking, he found out that it was related to business.
It turns out that Dugumin hired someone from outside to be a storekeeper. During this period, there were two incidents of running away with money. Although she finally chased them back and sent the two people to Lingnan, it also made her realize that people outside were not as good as her own. People are loyal and reliable.
In order to cultivate loyal, reliable, shrewd and capable successors to store owners, she successively opened enlightenment classes in manors across the country. Although these years have only been about enlightenment and there is no follow-up training plan, this amazing literacy rate has solved the biggest problem in running Yang Ji's school.
Together, the mother and son decided to simply copy the education system from the imperial court to their home. First, based on the enlightenment classes in each manor, they set up a middle school based on the county school's learning standards, and then selected the three best students from each manor. Come to Wangfu Middle School to learn the art of civil and military arts.
On the other hand, it is to expand the Suzaku Guard. The first batch of students are the maids of the palace and Queen Dugu, who are given to Yang Ji. However, these people have already become stereotyped and their plasticity is not as good as those who have been trained since childhood. Zhang Chuchen suggested that Yang Ji Buy some girls from brothels. These girls who live in prostitution are not only good-looking and talented, but also have a good talent foundation in a cruel learning environment, and their body flexibility is better than that of girls from normal families. To train such girls, It has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. Many of Yang Su's singers and dancers also originated from this.
Finally, she also suggested that Yang Ji only buy girls from Xiqu in the south of Pingkangfang because Xiqu brothel is relatively pure.
This is because there are five songs in Pingkangfang Nanli. Xiqu is where famous prostitutes gather. One prostitute is on the first floor, which is like a study. They mainly make a living by performing arts; these famous prostitutes are either people who have completed self-salvation. , either "old" famous prostitutes who have passed away, or ladies and concubines whose families have suffered tragic changes. They have received training in poetry, calligraphy, singing and dancing since they were young. They are all versatile and completely different from the delinquent women who only do business in flesh and blood. . They also bought many smart and lovely girls to train as heirs. Even some officials and wealthy businessmen who could not afford private schools sent their daughters to reliable brothels to learn their talents.
The status of this elegant little brothel is somewhat similar to the shops in the Second City of Dongshi. They are independent individuals and their origins are relatively pure. Therefore, it has become the most important social place for the upper class. No matter they are dignitaries or literati, they all flock to such romantic places.
The three districts in the north, middle and east are large brothels controlled by aristocratic families and dignitaries behind the scenes. There are various prostitutes in them. Rich people have beautiful beauties from all over the world to choose from. People without money can also call them those beautiful girls. Ordinary, old prostitutes have a pastime.
As for Nanqu, it is a place for the general public. Women who work in this category are called prostitutes. Prostitutes are not as versatile as prostitutes. Their only way of making a living is to sell their sex. However, the advantage of prostitutes is that their prices are low and they are accepted by ordinary people.
This kind of comparison and judgment is also the purpose of Zhang Chuchen's suggestion to only buy Xiqu girls.
But Yang Ji didn't see it that way. Without considering Nanqu, he felt that the living environment in Xiqu was better, and the learning environment was far less cruel than the three northern, middle and eastern operas where girls were trained to death. The physical fitness and willpower of girls without cruel training are definitely not as good as those of the other three tunes who crawled out from the dead. The difference between the two is like a sheep's cub and a wolf's cub. Moreover, the girls of those three tunes are used to hardship and hardship. As long as they are If the new environment is a little better, you will feel good about it, and in future training, your resistance will be much lower than that of Xiqu.
Although the background of Sanqu brothel is deep, Yang Ji is not planning to buy out a certain brothel. If he buys a few brothels from each brothel, he will give him some face.
The corresponding Xuanwu Guard was also established, and was led by Li Datong, the eldest son of the famous general Li Chong; Li Chong was from Chengji, Longxi. If we really count, he was a brother of the Dugumin clan, and followed Yang Shuang in the third year of Kaihuang's reign. During the Northern Expedition to the Turks, he was promoted to the governor of Shuozhou, Duke of Wuyang County, and Shangzhu State due to his meritorious service. Later, he was framed for treason. Shortly after returning to Beijing for confrontation, he died in sorrow and hatred. Although his sons Li Datong, Li Dabian, and Li Daliang failed to inherit their father's official title, they were all outstanding men in both civil and military affairs and were rising stars in the lineage of King Wei.
In addition to the generals, the Xuanwu Guards had a total of 500 warriors. The main combatants were 400 family soldiers who were skilled in close combat. The other 100 people were recruits composed of Zhu Can and other cooks and the children of the family soldiers.
This is also the focus of the current training. Although the number of people is smaller, Yang Ji is not ready to join the army. Moreover, looking at Yang Jian's posture, he is only allowed to be the leader of the Daxing City patrol army with mixed qualifications. How can he be allowed What about venturing to the border? Therefore, these hundreds of guards are enough to deal with bandits and assassins.
Then naturally comes training. Although Yang Ji is not a master of military training, in the era of advanced communication in later generations, various special forces training methods have been presented to the public in the form of movies and TV series; it is hard to say anything else, but physical fitness In terms of training, it is definitely more advanced and scientific than Sui Dynasty.
However, after the intensity of training increased, the amount of meat consumed by the palace every day also increased. However, for the Palace of Wei, which had a female Goddess of Wealth sitting in charge, it was not even a splurge. According to my mother, considering the current level of consumption, even having 20 to 30 thousand more people is not a big deal.
Yang Ji quite agrees with this point, because I am mainly engaged in foreign trade business. Although the traditional Silk Road is not smooth, after her goods were transported to Fulu County, Ganzhou, they traveled north along the Weoshui River to the border town of Datong. , and then sold them to those Hu merchants from the Western Regions who came from the direction of the Western Turks, in exchange for luxury goods such as Persian carpets and green snails that were comparable to gold in the Sui Dynasty.
Although there are many people who know this route, the border guard is an old subordinate of Yang Shuang. Even if he is not from the Wei Wang family, he does not dare to offend Dugu Min, who has a strong background. Moreover, Dugu Min has not treated them badly, so the border civil and military officials blocked them. After taking this road, other merchants will not be allowed to go. Dugu Min almost monopolized the entire Silk Road, buying and selling goods from both sides, making it difficult not to make money.
Time has entered the third year of Renshou in a leisurely and busy manner. The snow and ice covering the heavy snow in Guanzhong melted, revealing the desolate earth. As soon as the road was clear, I took a large group of people to Luozhou to buy land.
There were no appointments from the imperial court, and Yang Jian seemed to have forgotten to ask Yang Ji to serve as an official.
Yang Ji also enjoyed his leisure time. While he was busy with the guards in the mansion, he would invite his fiancée Xiao Ying out to play from time to time, as if he was in love.
But on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Yang Ji, who was watching the Xuanwu Guards training, received an unexpected imperial edict.
"Zhi said: King Yang Ji of Wei is both civil and military, possesses intelligence and bravery, is well versed in military affairs, and shows off the city. He is granted the title of General of the Right Guards, Governor of Liangzhou, and General Manager. He supervises the military affairs of the nine states. This is the imperial conferment. The internal history order is Yang Zhao. Make the imperial edict."
Yang Ji was stunned for a moment.
He was obviously promised to be the leader of the fire, but why did he suddenly become a right-guard general, and even had an additional "Liangzhou governor, general manager, and Kyushu military" who was comparable to the Zhou Mu and the Tu Emperor.
