Han Yu made a great success in Dian Province and made the province's operations flourish.
At this time, thousands of miles away in the capital, the Qing court also received the news.
In the Forbidden City, the 8-year-old Kangxi sat on the throne.
In front of them are the four ministers who care about life, Sony, Obai, Suksaha and Ebilong.
"Everyone must know about the affairs of Dian Province and the Western King. I have called you here today to ask you to come up with the charter."
Kangxi was unable to govern at this time, and all affairs were handled by four ministers who took care of life.
He is just responsible for sitting in his seat and acting as a mascot.
"Your Majesty, I think that the troubles in Yunnan Province are no more than the disease of wormwood, so we can just send Pingnan King Shang Kexi to quell the rebellion." Ao Bai said nonchalantly.
"Although King Pingnan is loyal, he uses his full strength to fight a lion against a rabbit. I think it would be safer to let Li Qifeng, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, take charge of the Green Camp of Guangdong and Guangxi to supervise the war." Sony said, stroking his beard.
Li Qifeng was the commander-in-chief of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and was more reliable than King Pingnan in their eyes.
"Then King Pingnan will be granted the title of Prince Pingnan, and he will lead his headquarters to attack the rebels. Li Qifeng, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, will give him a yellow mandarin jacket and a Shangfang sword, and he will be the governor of the war."
Kangxi Anxin sits on a human-shaped seal.
The imperial edict was quickly conveyed to the hands of Pingnan King Shang Kexi.
"Father, we really want to suppress the rebellion. The imperial court is going to consume our strength." Shang Zhixin said.
"Huh, if you know what you can do, how dare you disobey and not go?"
Shang Kexi sighed helplessly.
"Father, those Francois are here to sell matchlock guns again."
Shang Zhixiao said.
"Don't buy it, don't buy it. It's a broken shotgun. Its range is only more than ten feet. What's the point of buying it? Drive it away, drive it away!"
Shang Ke waved his hands impatiently.
He was worried about sending troops, so he was not in the mood to do business with these red-haired barbarians.
Although he was extremely reluctant, Shang Kexi still mobilized his troops and mobilized an army of 200,000 to march towards Yunnan Province.
Without troops, Li Qifeng, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was just thirty miles behind to supervise the battle.
If he dares not to leave, he will become a rebel, and I am afraid that the Qing court will hang him together with the Ming army in Yunnan Province.
"The Ming army is easier to deal with than the Qing army." Shang Kexi, who has dealt with the Ming army for decades, knows best what the Ming army is like.
What he couldn't understand the most was how Wu Sangui, with 100,000 Guanning cavalry and hundreds of thousands of troops, lost the entire Yunnan Province.
This is unreasonable.
"Maybe it was because the Ming army was cunning and assassinated Wu Sangui at night, leaving Guan Ning's cavalry leaderless, so they were defeated one by one by the Ming army."
Shang Zhixin guessed.
Shang Kexi thought about it for a long time, but this is the most reliable guess.
Otherwise, it is really unexplainable how the Ming army, with its low combat power, defeated Wu Sangui.
"Go on, please be careful when setting up camp at night to prevent assassins from sneaking up on you."
"Yes!"
The order was passed on.
Shang Kexi's troops were in a state of turmoil. Every time they saw a stranger in the camp, they had to be repeatedly checked to make sure they were correct before being released, which invisibly increased a lot of internal friction.
Let the team become tired.
Shang Kexi's army slowly approached Dian Province.
At this time, Dian Province was carrying out major infrastructure construction activities under the leadership of Han Yu.
It was the slack season for farming, so Han Yu spent a large sum of money to recruit farmers to start repairing roads and building water conservancy facilities.
Repairing roads can facilitate the movement of armies and the movement of goods.
The easier it is to move goods, the more business taxes he can collect.
The construction of water conservancy projects can resist drought and floods and increase food output.
With food, he can feed more troops and speed up the pace of unifying the world.
And when the farmers took the money, they could promote consumption, and the entire Yunnan Province exploded with unprecedented economic vitality.
Although Han Yu was exempted from land tax, the tax money he could collect was more than before.
In addition to agriculture, Han Yu also abolished restrictive household registrations such as craftsmen's households and military households. Except for prisoners, everyone has equal ordinary household registration and can freely choose their favorite occupation without any restrictions.
p>
One of the main reasons for the slow development of the Ming Dynasty was the restriction of household registration. Everyone's path was planned from birth. Military households could only join the army, and craftsmen households could only be craftsmen. They had no right to choose.
If you spend your whole life working in a profession that you don’t like, you will naturally fish when you can, and it will be strange if you can make achievements.
After the household registration is abolished, you can make your own choices and let people make the most of their talents.
People's subjective initiative was brought into full play. Some farmers who liked doing business immediately handed over their fields and started doing business with their capital, and they became prosperous.
The society is thriving.
Looking at the increasingly prosperous Spring City, Mu Tianbo felt that Zhu Cixuan must have received guidance from the gods. Otherwise, when had the Ming Dynasty seen such prosperity? With such a wise king, why would the Ming Dynasty be unhappy?
Seeing more and more money in the treasury, Han Yu began to think about ways to spend money again.
Now, he feels that what he lacks most is manpower.
As the scope of his rule expanded, he felt that there were fewer and fewer people available.
The main reason for this phenomenon is that the literacy rate in this era is too low. Many people do not know Chinese characters, have never studied, and can only work as coolies.
The right to study is monopolized by landlords and wealthy businessmen.
But almost all of those landowners were cut off by themselves, what should we do?
Han Yu slapped his thigh and decided to set up a school.
Not only should school-age children be admitted to school, but night schools should also be opened for adults.
Especially those officers must enter night school for further training. If they fail the exam, they cannot be promoted.
Big-headed soldiers also have to read and read. Each man carries a wooden board behind his back. On the wooden board is written the words he memorizes every day. Even if he is marching and fighting, he must learn.
Night schools not only teach reading and literacy, but also teach various techniques, such as blacksmithing, farming, weaving, and cooking, as long as they can make a living, the night schools teach them.
We ensure that everyone can make a living with knowledge after graduating from night school.
As for children's education, in addition to basic reading and literacy, they also need to learn mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc.
The teaching materials are all extracted from various classics and re-edited, and then Han Yu helps to check for gaps.
Although Han Yu was not very good at learning, it would not be a problem to lead them to build a steam engine.
After all, Han Yu is a mechanical major after all, and he still understands the principles and structure of steam engines.
At the beginning, many farmers did not want to send their children to study. They thought that if they had the time, they might as well help the family with some work and get more grain.
Faced with this situation, Han Yu made a stroke of his pen, and all children were admitted to school for free, and they were provided with three meals a day. Those who excelled in the assessment every semester were rewarded with a piglet, regardless of gender.
Moreover, as long as they can graduate, the imperial court will help arrange jobs, and those with outstanding performance can directly join the imperial court as officials.
After hearing the news, those farmers went crazy.
If nothing else, having three meals a day solves a huge problem for them.
Just having one person's food ration left out of thin air can make the family a lot more comfortable.
Not to mention piggy rewards and becoming an official in the court.
Who doesn’t want to have a high-ranking official in their family?
For a time, the schools in each village were overcrowded.
