Valley Emperor

For a long time, the huge Ming Dynasty has brought great pressure to Li Xuan, and Liu Bagou and Fang Dongquan have limited knowledge and simply do not understand how terrifying a central dynasty in the Central Plains is.

Li Xuan has always been very understanding!

Once the upper levels of the Ming Dynasty were brought to the attention of the Datang Dynasty, and if they paid attention, the Datang Dynasty would face a super behemoth with a total population of hundreds of millions, thousands of miles from east to west, and thousands of miles from north to south.

There were more than 1,000 county-level units in Zhengtai County in the Ming Dynasty, and more than 400 guards with military and civilian characteristics at the same time, so there were more than 300.

Just taking out any of these data is enough to make Li Xuan, the son of a rebel who was tricked by his father, numb his scalp, and even completely lose hope for the future.

This is also the main reason why Li Xuan wanted to run away for more than half of the past year and did not play the rebellion game with Fang Dongquan and the others, because he could not see any hope of success in the rebellion, even the slightest hope.

Later, even if he was forced to stay in the valley to be the inexplicable Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xuan always followed a principle, that is, to be the emperor of the valley with his tail tucked, and try not to provoke the behemoth of the Ming Dynasty.

If they didn't attack Longhua Town and Zhengtai County, they didn't even dare to cause too many casualties to the Ming army in the two thousand households. All of this was based on this concern.

For a long time in the future, Li Xuan believes that he still needs to continue to be the emperor with his tail between his tails, and try his best to avoid attracting the attention of the upper echelons of the Ming court.

However, it is not feasible to hide in the ravine for low-key development, because many times things do not run according to his will, and there will always be things that he cannot control, such as the previous rainstorm.

In addition, the Ming army will definitely not let the Tang Dynasty go. When the more than 1,000 counties outside the mountain relax, they will definitely bring many county braves and civilians into the mountain again.

In order to avoid this situation and regain control of the initiative, Li Xuan decided to go out during the summer harvest and contain the Ming army while harvesting grain.

But in the end, no matter what, it is always going to be a war with the Ming army, and it can be expected that the scale of the Ming army that I face will become larger and larger.

Because after winning time and time again, the Ming army is not stupid, and will definitely increase its troops again and again until they defeat themselves.

And in this process, if you are defeated, you will be doomed, and you will die without a place to be buried.

How to consistently win wars in future wars?

Li Xuan thought about it, and could only rely on the advantages of weapons.

With the population and various resources, the Datang Dynasty is scumbag, and the only thing that can be relied on is the technical advantage brought by the traveler.

And what are the advantages of weapons, naturally sharp guns!

The workshop in front of him bears Li Xuan's hope for the future and the hope of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how much Li Xuan attaches importance to it, it cannot be overemphasized.

Therefore, at the end of the inspection, Li Xuan lavishly rewarded many craftsmen. All formal craftsmen will be given independent brick and tile houses, and will be given a fixed amount of rice grain every month, which is equivalent to the corps commander in the army.

The task materials needed by the workshop will be given priority to supply and solution. If there are no items in the warehouse, they will immediately send someone to collect them. If they can’t be found in the mountains, they will go out to the mountains to purchase them.

For example, materials like iron, enjoy this kind of treatment!

The treatment enjoyed by workshops and craftsmen is undoubtedly extremely high in the Tang Dynasty, and this is only the enjoyment of materials. The attention and support that Li Xuan gives is far more than that.

In order to turn these craftsmen into real technicians, Li Xuan plans to arrange for staff to teach these craftsmen a lesson and teach them to read and write.

However, this is a bit cumbersome to implement.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter of the Ministry of Industry and Technology is not very easy to handle. The ministers are really lacking in skills, and it is difficult to take time to go to the Ministry of Technology to teach. Moreover, according to the regulations of the Institute of Technology, which is designated by your Majesty, this Institute of Technology is not only Only teaching reading and literacy, but also teaching arithmetic and calculus, these ministers are really..." Liu Bagou showed a rare embarrassed look.

Looking at Liu Bagou's expression, Li Xuan also knew that it wasn't Liu Bagou and the others who shied away, but that they really didn't have time to teach them any more. At the same time, they themselves couldn't understand arithmetic and calculus, so how could they teach others.

It's just that if Liu Bagou and the others don't teach, this teacher will be hard to find!

The reason is very simple. There are only four people in the Tang Dynasty who can really be regarded as scholars, and who have the ability to teach others to read and write. They are Liu Bagou, Wang Wenhua, Qian Mengjiu and Li Xuan himself.

Before, Liu Bagou and the others were already teaching civil and military officials in the literacy class, which took them a lot of time, not to mention that their essential job was not to be a school teacher, but an official of the Tang Dynasty. As only three literati who could read and write in the Tang Dynasty, they undertook almost all the administrative affairs of the Tang Dynasty.

From trivial matters to major military affairs, they have to deal with them.

As the scale of the Tang Dynasty expanded, there were more and more trivial matters, which cost them a lot of time, and it was difficult to spare time for normal teaching. Professor Bian's words would make them even more useless.

Thinking of this~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Li Xuan regrets it a little. He knew that when he went out to Longhua Town, he would have brought back a few more literati. Unfortunately, he only paid attention to armaments and craftsmen at first, and never thought of it. on this matter.

Seeing the embarrassed look on Liu Bagou's face, Li Xuan thought about it and said, "You have taught many people to read and write since last year, right? Can these people use it now?"

There were few real literati in the Tang Dynasty, but there were still some semi-illiterate people who could barely read and write. These people are now studying while working with Liu Bagou and the others.

Liu Bagou said: "It can be used, but it's okay to read and write superficial official documents. If it is to teach others, I'm afraid it will mislead the children! There are a few boys who are a little more outstanding, but they are still learning a thousand words. That’s it, there is still a long way to go before reading the scriptures!”

Hearing this, Li Xuan was a little speechless. Who asked you to teach them the Four Books and Five Classics, Lao Tzu said very clearly at the beginning, this is a literacy class, not an imperial examination class, let you teach them literacy and arithmetic, let me It is enough for these students to handle basic official duties.

Li Xuan didn't let those students go to the examination for Xiucai, who cares if they speak with a mouthful of words, do you know if I am Lao Tzu or Lao Tzu!
