Do the Yuwen people want to do business with me?
Liu Yu wanted this matter in his heart.
Since the Yuwen Ministry was conquered last time, Liu Yu sent people to reopen the trade routes in Hexi.
However, limited by its own strength, the effect of this trade route is not good.
A large number of caravans, horses and guides were all the big men lacked.
Many of the goods prepared have been delayed in being delivered.
If the Yuwen people are willing to take the initiative to trade with each other, they can sell Liu Yu's own goods through their hands.
"Do your father and others have a lot of wool?" Liu Yu asked.
"Almost the entire tribe in the Xianbei Mountains is obedient, and there must be a lot of wool." Yu Wenzhao said.
The power of the Yuwen tribe is by no means limited to the Hexi region.
Many nomadic tribes in the Great Xianbei Grassland are nominally affiliated with them.
"Okay, I agree!" Liu Yu said.
"However, tell your father that I will not pay for their wool, but will settle in porcelain, paper and silk!"
Of course, Yu Wenzhao agreed to this question.
In fact, this is not a problem at all.
It is useless for the Yuwen people to ask for money. Even if they have money, they will eventually use it to buy Han porcelain, paper, silk and other goods.
Now it can be exchanged directly, which is even better.
When a large amount of porcelain, silk and other goods enter the Yuwen Department, the party members can then resell them to the Northeastern Baishan and Blackwater in the Western Regions.
With some luck, the Yuwen people can make a lot of money.
Liu Yu naturally knew the huge benefits involved.
Liu Yu's true purpose is this.
In addition to their own geographical reasons, there is another important reason why the Yuwen people maintain a high combat effectiveness, and that is because of poverty!
That's right.
Just because of poverty.
Without the stimulation of business, apart from grazing and farming, the only other way for Yuwen people to make a fortune is to fight.
In order to fight, we must maintain high combat effectiveness.
This is not a good thing for the Central Plains Dynasty.
If the Yuwen Department can be transformed from agriculture and animal husbandry to commerce, then many Yuwen people will gradually lose their fighting ability.
If you don't believe it.
Looking at the commercial states in the Western Regions, except for a bunch of weaklings, the rest are still weaklings.
Since ancient times, only agriculture and animal husbandry have produced countries with strong combat capabilities, while commercial countries have been very weak.
If the people of the Yuwen tribe are busy working as trespassers to make money, how can they still have the ability to use force to build a country.
Liu Yu's insidious thoughts can be said to be very well hidden.
Not only could Yu Wenzhao, who was his pillow partner, not be able to tell, but also when the news reached the Yu Wen Department.
Yu Wenzhao's father, uncle and others were also very happy and did not realize that this was a far-reaching conspiracy.
The nobles in the Yuwen Department were all very happy.
They will be able to obtain a large amount of Central Plains goods in the future.
If you resell these things at will, you can make several times the profit.
With such a way to make money, there is no need to risk your life by going out to loot.
Although they no longer had the courage to loot the big man.
But if you can make money, who would be willing to send troops to fight.
Liu Yu's painstaking efforts were simply not visible to the Yuwen people at this time.
After finishing taking care of Yu Wenzhao's affairs.
Gongsun Sheng and Xi Jian came to see Liu Yu again.
"Your Majesty, the regulations of the official school you ordered have been completed." Gongsun Sheng said.
"Oh, bring it to me quickly!" Liu Yu said.
Xi Jian quickly presented it.
Liu Yu opened it and looked at it carefully.
"Well, not bad, basically it's okay." Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction.
Gongsun Sheng and Xi Jian both breathed a sigh of relief.
It was the first time for both of them to hear about compulsory education.
The regulations were made to satisfy Liu Yu, so he was naturally very happy.
"but."
Suddenly, Liu Yu spoke.
Gongsun Sheng and Xi Jian became nervous again.
"However, I am still a little dissatisfied with the courses taught here." Liu Yu said.
"Your Majesty, according to your instructions, a lot of Confucianism has been reduced and some miscellaneous studies have been added." Gongsun Sheng said.
"Hey, I asked you to add miscellaneous subjects, but not just any miscellaneous subjects can come in." Liu Yu said.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with the courses here?" Xi Jian asked.
"The so-called miscellaneous studies must be relative to Confucianism, but they cannot be random miscellaneous studies. For example, there is a course here that teaches epigraphy. What is it for? Let the students rob tombs and tinker with antiques. Huh?" Liu Yu was speechless.
These miscellaneous subjects, except for agriculture and arithmetic, are all a bunch of weird things.
"Then what course does Your Majesty plan to change?" Xi Jian asked.
"I already have an idea about what courses to add. The specific information will be given to you in two days." Liu Yu said.
The content Liu Yu wanted to add was naturally basic physics, chemistry, biology and history.
After learning these subjects, although it may not necessarily produce many great talents, it can definitely stimulate the thinking of a few elites.
If you pick one out of a thousand, if you have such a talent, Liu Yu will make a lot of money.
"Your Majesty's orders, I will obey them!" Xi Jian said.
The establishment of official schools with compulsory education outside Luoyang City was soon issued in the form of a Han administrative order.
Apart from some Confucian classics, more than half of the courses taught there are about agriculture, arithmetic, Mohism, etc.
As soon as this decree came out, many Confucian scholars were very dissatisfied.
This is discrimination against them who have worked hard all their lives.
Confucianism, Confucius's teacher for all generations, was reduced to being compared with miscellaneous studies.
They all accused Liu Yu of the legitimacy of establishing this so-called compulsory education official school.
"If heaven did not give birth to Saint Kong, eternity would be like a long night!"
"Now it is necessary for a saint to appear in order to save the people from ignorance."
"Your Majesty is so ignorant of Confucianism. You are absolutely wrong!"
These Confucian scholars criticized Liu Yu not just for the sake of maintaining Confucian morality.
In fact, it is also because they will lose their jobs.
Originally, they could all teach every day to earn tuition fees.
Well now, all Mengtong teenagers have to enter government schools, and they don’t all have to lose their jobs!
Under such circumstances, he naturally refused to say anything good about Liu Yu.
Such a group of depressed and rotten scholars quickly gathered together.
They thought about it and felt that they could not sit back and wait for death, but must take the initiative.
"I must have the ambition to submit a letter to Fu Que!"
The so-called letter to Fu Que, to put it bluntly, is to block the king's gate.
Use the majority's stance to force the monarch to make concessions.
