"From now on, you not only have to educate the prince, but I also have an important thing to tell you!" Liu Yu said.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Wang Ze asked.
"Now that the world is at peace, the habits developed in the past still need to be changed."
"What habit is your Majesty talking about?"
"Advocating the false way of metaphysics, and although the Western Regions Hu Sect has been strictly prohibited from spreading in the Central Plains in the past two years, many people are still tempted by the Western Regions Hu Shang monks, and many people secretly worship the novice Hu Sect."
Liu Yu has always been very vigilant about this issue.
Since the Buddhist temple was established in Luoyang by people from the Western Regions during the Eastern Han Dynasty, it developed greatly during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and many down-and-out scholars took refuge under its sect.
The common people who have experienced war are even more pessimistic and desperate about their future and believe in this way.
Even though Liu Yu had already issued an order to strictly prohibit Han people from practicing Buddhism, many people still continued quietly.
In particular, many high-ranking officials have gradually accepted some of the novice monks' advice, and more and more people are advising Liu Yu to open the door to his convenience.
Regarding this situation, Liu Yu felt that it was better to block it than to open it up.
"What does Your Majesty want my concubine to do?" Wang Ze asked.
"Many of these people who are obsessed with Buddhism do not practice today, but only think about the illusory afterlife. Many people cannot see clearly the absurdity of it. The fundamental problem is that they are not educated enough, so that they do not distinguish between right and wrong. ability."
After Liu Yu finished speaking, he took out a note that he had already prepared from his arms.
"In response to this situation, I plan to ask you to summon more of those who have been involved in the internal affairs of the public ministers to do whatever they can."
Wang Ze took the letter, opened it and read it carefully.
When she looked at it, Wang Ze smiled slightly.
"It turns out that His Majesty wants these nobles to fund the establishment of official schools."
Liu Yu's handbook contains a series of tricks to "cheat money".
"Yes, these women are all well-fed and well-fed people. You have called them many times before to perform charitable deeds of relief. Now I endorse you and set up official schools in all the prefectures and counties all over the world. As long as you provide money to help the scholars, they will be accepted." It is up to the imperial court to maintain its good reputation."
For the ladies of these high-ranking officials, all of them are busy every day, and the trivial matters in each house are no longer enough for them to entertain.
In this case, Liu Yu asked the queen to take the lead and asked them to provide money to support the imperial court in setting up prefectural and county official schools.
Anyway, if the money is not used here, it will probably be used on those Alchemist Mi Dao or Shatuo monks.
"And tell those women who contribute money, no matter what her husband's family is, or her natal family, as long as they contribute money for official education, the imperial court will grant them official status, just like the twenty-fourth-class title of the imperial court, women There are also titles." Liu Yu continued.
"Your Majesty means, can they be officials?" Wang Ze asked in surprise.
"It's impossible to become an official. It's just to give them an official status."
In today's world, except for some extremely respected clan members or relatives, there are very few women who have been officially canonized by the imperial court.
For example, Mrs. Gaoming, who was popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, was not popular in this era.
And despite the fact that today's society does not value women's virginity when remarrying, women's rights are not as good as those of later generations.
"Although they do not have official positions, as long as they have official status, their status is already protected by the court. Whether it is property or official status, they will not be interfered by their husband's or natal family."
Liu Yu had some understanding of the psychology of women from high-ranking families. They all wanted to change their status as vassals.
Since you only need to spend a little money to obtain the status promised by the emperor himself, it is not a problem at all for these women who have been rich for many generations.
Regarding whether Wang Ze could handle this matter well, Liu Yu actually had no confidence in his heart.
However, no matter what, even if the progress is not smooth, some people can still be fooled into giving money and effort.
Liu Yu's ambition is not just to guard a group of ignorant people as a closed-door emperor, he wants to bring a little light to this dark era.
Not only to expel the barbarians from all directions, but also to expel the ignorance in people's hearts.
And in all this, only reading and literacy can help more people get rid of ignorance.
However, Liu Yu really did not have the power to expand the matter any further, so he could only rely on the unplanned power of the Queen.
A few days later, the governor of Liangzhou sent someone to send an urgent report.
The Sasanian king Shapur captured by Ranliang, the king of Pingxi in the Han Dynasty, has already entered Yumen Pass and will be escorted to Luoyang in a short time.
Liu Yu still sympathized with this unlucky young Sasanian king.
Even if he tried to break his head, Shapur could not have imagined that a group of Easterners who appeared out of nowhere could defeat his own Sasanian army and make him a prisoner, escorted by camels, donkeys and horses along the way. After traveling thousands of miles, we arrived at a completely unfamiliar place.
"Send someone to Liangzhou so that the Sasanian king doesn't need to be sent to Luoyang. He can go directly from Liangzhou to Shengle!"
"I am about to convene a conference of all the grassland ministries in Shengle, and I still need a Sasanian king to dance at the banquet!"
Liu Yu smiled and ordered to the leading general Zhao Kun next to him.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun immediately arranged for people to rush to Liangzhou to give orders.
Liu Yu had planned to attend the annual Sheng Le Meeting in person as much as possible so that the grassland tribes would not dare to make any changes easily.
After all his methods have been deployed and he has grasped their lifeline, he will slowly delegate others to host the conference.
When the ministers and ministers of the court came to discuss matters, Xi Jian advised Liu Yujin on a small matter.
"Your Majesty, Liaodong submitted a report saying that Yin Xian, the governor of the Andong governorate, led his troops to attack Sushen by sea. Unfortunately, they encountered a storm and half of their fleet was lost. Yin Xian, the governor of Quan, and others were also lost. The trace is probably that of Haitao who died."
"The bitter cold and barren land of Sushen is really not worth this. I ask your Majesty to order Liaodong to suspend the expansion of its territory to the north and properly manage the old land of Goguryeo first."
Since the defeat of Goguryeo's stubborn resistance, the Han army in Liaodong has continued to conquer Sushen, Beifuyu and other barbarians to the north.
Because the land routes were covered by mountains and dense forests, and it was difficult to transport supplies, the Han army in Liaodong went out to the sea from Zhacheng in the east of Goguryeo and headed north, first attacking the Sushen people on the coast.
This Quandu protector Yin Xian had been promoted previously because of his meritorious service in conquering the Sushen people of Goguryeo.
Now that something unexpected happened, Liu Yu not only lost a general who was most familiar with the situation of the Sushen people, but also lost a living map.
Liu Yu attached great importance to the rights and responsibilities of the Anton Protectorate.
In his border policy, the level of the fishing and hunting peoples in the northeast was equal to that of the grassland tribes.
However, these fishing and hunting peoples living in the deep mountains and old forests are scattered. Without convenient transportation, they can only eat bit by bit and cannot monitor the alliance like other grassland tribes.
"The Anton Protectorate has used troops for many years and has achieved great results. It is indeed time to slow down and stop to digest the results."
Liu Yu also agreed.
At this time, the fishing and hunting peoples in the Northeast were all in a semi-primitive and semi-slave society. Not only were their mobilization capabilities poor, but even basic iron and copper smelting was poor.
These fishing and hunting peoples whose weapons and equipment were several levels behind were no match for the Han soldiers recruited by the Andong Protectorate.
It was only a matter of time before the Anton Protectorate completely annexed these fishing and hunting barbarians.
Now that the situation is so clear, Liu Yu is not willing to waste more lives of his soldiers.
"After the Shengle Conference, I will order people to go to the Andong Protectorate to preside over the land. Whether it is a sergeant or an administrator, the land will be granted. As for the sergeants who died in the battle, their nephews will also inherit it. .”
At this time, the Andong Protectorate occupied a large area of the old Goguryeo land, as well as the land and population of Sushen, North Woju, North Buyeo and other tribes conquered from the north.
In this cold, primitive land, population and land are equally important.
Liu Yu implemented a system of equal emphasis on population and land. He implemented a system of granting land to the troops of the Andong Protectorate. However, the population needed for land cultivation needed to be supplemented by the land lords themselves.
As for the supplementary channel, naturally it is the surrounding barbarian tribes.
All tribes that were not under the jurisdiction of the officials of the Han Dynasty were all targets of conquest. The Anton Protectorate would organize armies to carry out the extermination, not only to expand the land, but also to plunder the population.
The most bloody thing among them is that the troops of the Anton Protectorate often kill the men in their prime, leaving only half-grown children and women.
Although it will cause the labor force replenishment rate to be greatly reduced, it can ensure the security of the sergeants' territory.
"Your Majesty, if the expansion of the Anton Protectorate is postponed, should we send a member of the royal family to join the vassal?" Xi Jian asked.
Liu Yu enfeoffed many of his royal families to the Anton Protectorate.
The reason why it was enfeoffed to the bitter cold land was not only to eliminate the disadvantages of the land-breaking enfeoffment, but also to show that the imperial court attached great importance to the development of the Andong Protectorate.
At this time, the territory of the Andong Protectorate was filled with barbarians and harsh terrain. It was completely the same barbaric land as before the transformation.
After the Ming Dynasty, which was historically powerful, had been operating for hundreds of years, it paid less and less attention to this place. Not only because of the long distance, but also because the development cost was too high and the results were too slow.
It is completely unfeasible to rely on local officials or floating officials to run the business.
Only the most primitive and brutal feudal system can be applied to this barbaric land.
"The enfeoffed princes are still too young and will definitely not be able to go to the country. However, I can find some internal history for these princes and let them act on their behalf."
Liu Yu suddenly had an idea and said.
"Who should be used for the history of the vassal state?" Xi Jian asked.
The so-called internal history of the vassal is actually the deeds and power of the feudal country. Anyway, the princes are too young. Regardless of whether it is in name or in reality, as long as there is a name in the internal history of the vassal, it is the real ruler.
"If ordinary bureaucrats are used, it will definitely not work. Not to mention whether these people are willing to serve for many years, even if they are appointed to serve, I am afraid they will most likely be considered to be demoted. They simply cannot work hard. of."
Liu Yu slowly shook his head and said.
In the bitterly cold Andong Protectorate, the officials and soldiers who are really willing to contribute to development are often from Liaodong.
They have long accepted the harsh climate and are willing to fight for their land and future.
However, people in the Central Plains region have no enthusiasm to manage the shabby territory of the Anton Protectorate.
These people are not afraid of the hardships at the frontier. Killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds has always been difficult.
However, what these people want is to kill enemies at the frontier and perform meritorious service, and then return to the capital of the Central Plains to be rewarded. No one wants to stay at the frontier for a lifetime.
"Huh!"
Liu Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and immediately had an idea.
"This vassal's domestic history does not need to be selected by the court. It is directly decided by the queen and the princes themselves."
Liu Yu said.
These princes were all born to concubines, and legally they were all sons of the queen.
The so-called decision by the queen actually means leaving it to the prince and his biological mothers.
"Wouldn't this corrupt the imperial court's selection of officials?" Xi Jian said hesitantly.
His daughter is also Liu Yu's concubine, and there is also a little prince who is a few years old and has been entrusted with the territory of the Anton Protectorate.
If they were to choose the history of the domain themselves, they would most likely choose someone from their maternal uncle's family.
Only this kind of kinship can make them trust each other.
The result of this trust is that the feudal historians will manage the domain as their own property and will definitely contribute 100%.
"The ordinary official selection system is not applicable to frontier fortresses and frontiers. This is how the vassal states within the Andong Protectorate are determined." Liu Yu said.
After Xi Jian took the order and left, the excitement in his heart never calmed down.
He knew the emperor very well, and he knew the huge interests behind this kind of domestic history.
Nowadays, these enfeoffed princes are all young, and it will take at least more than ten years for them to grow up.
This means that for more than ten years, the relatives behind them have been the actual rulers of those vassal states.
Moreover, even more than ten years later, after these princes grew up in the colorful world of Luoyang, none of them wanted to go to the bitter cold Anton Protectorate.
Even if they are forced to move to a feudal country, in a completely unfamiliar environment, they cannot do without those who have been operating for many years in the history of the domain.
This is not about splitting the soil and sealing the territory for the princes, but it is completely splitting the soil and sealing the territory for the relatives!
Xi Jian, as one of his relatives, had repeatedly probed Liu Yu for the deeper meaning.
But Liu Yu didn't seem to take this seriously at all.
"Split the soil and seal the territory!"
"I didn't expect that I am not exempt from the secular world. I didn't even think about impartial remonstrance. Instead, I was thinking about how to get the position of the feudal history. I'm really ashamed."
When Xi Jian returned home, he blamed himself for being deliberately tactful when facing temptation. At the same time, he quickly sent someone to summon his closest brother and two nephews to discuss important matters.
