Zhao Changqing and Jianyi stayed in Shiwanda Mountain for three years.

Still haven't touched the core area of ​​this place.

The reason is that the Hundred Thousand Mountains are like a formation. If you walk aimlessly, you will never reach the core area.

This is a formation that can trap heavenly beings.

Therefore, Zhao Changqing and Jian Yi simply stayed here and tried to crack the natural formation of Shiwandashan.

During these three years, Zhao Yuan managed the Wei Dynasty in an orderly manner.

Although, he was labeled as a tyrant who went on a killing spree when he disagreed with others, which was in sharp contrast to the benevolent Emperor Taizong.

But people still think that he is a good emperor in their hearts.

It is said that if the water is clear, there will be no fish. This is aimed at the officialdom.

As for the people, because there are no corrupt officials, many people can eat fish and drink chicken soup.

During the three years, Zhao Yuan spent a whole year traveling around the world.

Not every town was visited, but a few were highlighted.

However, he visited all the famous mountains and rivers in Kyushu as well as the famous Jianghu sects.

At first, the people just thought that he was just having fun.

But after the tour around the world, Zhao Yuan made an amazing move that the people had to applaud and praise.

He traveled around the world and asked for some martial arts skills from Jianghu sects, printed them in batches, and distributed them among the people.

Let children from poor families also be able to practice cultivation.

This was something he had thought about long ago.

Many civil servants in the DPRK and China hold objections to this.

If we were to return to the early days of the Great Transformation of Heaven and Earth, when warriors were at their peak, I am afraid that the status that literati had worked so hard to accumulate would be gone.

The current prime minister of the Wei Dynasty is Lu Zaixing.

Although this man was a military commander, his realm has been stagnant, so he simply gave up martial arts and studied literature.

Ever since Zhao Yuan made the decision to spread martial arts skills to the people, he went to the Xuanzheng Palace every two days to express his dissatisfaction.

This time is no exception.

Zhao Ye, the governor of the East Factory, reported the matter to Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan, who was dealing with government affairs, felt a headache and said, "No."

Out of sight out of mind.

Zhao Ye hesitated to speak. After thinking for a moment, he finally said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lu has been kneeling on the ground and did not get up. The weather is so hot that Prime Minister Lu may not be able to bear it."

Zhao Yuan snorted coldly: "He is a martial artist in the True Martial Realm after all. His physique is not that bad. Even if he kneels for three days and three nights, it doesn't matter. He loves kneeling so much, so let him keep kneeling."

Zhao Ye added: "Your Majesty, besides him, there are several adults who have no cultivation level."

Zhao Yuan, who had a tattoo and had been immersed in dealing with government affairs, raised his head and frowned: "Who else?"

Zhao Ye replied: "Your Majesty, it is Xu Ming, the Minister of Rites, Yao Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Jia Rong, the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry."

"snort!"

Zhao Yuan said angrily: "What nonsense! Let them in!"

"Nuo." After Zhao Ye stepped back, he personally pulled the four people up and asked them to enter the temple to face the saint.

The four of them burst into tears of gratitude to Zhao Ye, and then walked into the Xuanzheng Hall together.

After meeting the emperor, Zhao Yuan waved his hand and rejected him before even saluting him. He said bluntly: "You guys, do you really don't understand, or do you pretend you don't understand?"

The four of them looked at each other and said one after another:

"Your Majesty, I believe that there are already enough monks in the world. Now, within the Kyushu, not counting the heavy armored cavalry and the 240,000 Imperial Guards, the 100,000 Forest Guards, and the 2 million armored men.

monk.

In the world, countless martial arts geniuses have emerged one after another, and there are even countless people who have awakened supernatural powers and special bloodlines.

If there are more warriors, I'm afraid there will be trouble. I am thinking about the country and the country." The person who said this was Lu Zaixing.

Xu Ming then added, "Your Majesty, since ancient times, warriors have been responsible for causing chaos. If warriors are allowed to control the entire court, I'm afraid it will make the common people miserable."

Yao Ji and Jia Rong also had different views, but basically they were opposed to raising the status of warriors again and to encouraging common people to abandon literature and practice martial arts.

Zhao Yuan listened carefully to what the four people had to say.

It was not until the end that he spoke slowly: "I understand your concerns. You are afraid that something like Xiao Xuanwu will happen, and you believe that the officials in charge of the central government should not be monks.

But have you ever considered one thing? Why did the battle with the demon clan three years ago severely damage the vitality of our human race? But the demon clan became more and more courageous with every defeat? In the final analysis, it is that they value warriors and development.

Those who go out to fight will always be warriors. In other words, if one day, someone needs to stand up and risk their lives to protect the country, they can only be warriors. Literary men are different. Literary men are suitable for governing the country and ensuring peace. According to me

In other words, the country is divided into two parts: north and south.

In this way, some of the disadvantages caused by the high status of warriors can be avoided."

"What is the two governances of the north and the south?" Lu Zaixing asked puzzledly.

Zhao Yuan said earnestly: "I originally planned to carry out this matter a few years later, but now it seems that I have to move it forward.

The so-called dual rule of the north and the south means that the north emphasizes military affairs and the south emphasizes culture, with the Changbai Mountains as the boundary. However, the north also emphasizes culture and the south also emphasizes military affairs, but the emphasis is different.

At present, the main enemies of our Wei Dynasty are from the demon tribe in the north. If one day, the entire north can be forged into the same situation as the demon tribe, then even if the demon tribe sends troops south, we can still resist it.

You can live in it.”

...

The four ministers and the emperor stayed in the Xuanzheng Hall all night to discuss the views of the two rulers of the north and the south.

Once this is implemented, many policies will need to be changed.

This is undoubtedly a reform.

However, this is a big problem. If one day, someone in the north rebels and rebels, or even unifies the entire north, then...

Can relying solely on the south solve the possible formidable enemies in the north in the future?

Zhao Yuan also gave an answer to this.

That is, although the South values ​​culture, the most elite troops in Kyushu will be stationed in the South.

After years of political influence, the original Chu and Wei countries were already richer than the Song Dynasty.

This is a subtle influence.

Because the political and cultural center is in the south.

Therefore, relying on the prosperity of the south is enough to feed the vast majority of the army in the north.

In the north, there are only two permanent armies left.

That is, the Yunzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army, totaling 600,000.

The remaining troops were all stationed in the south.

When there is a war in the north in the future, we can mobilize troops from the south.

This is just a relatively simple solution. It is not yet known whether it can perfectly solve problems that may exist in the future.

However, in Zhao Yuan's heart, relying on this alone is not enough.

He also has several bold ideas, one of which is to strengthen the influence of the clan.

Because he always firmly believes that everything in this world can be repeated, but the surname Zhao cannot be changed.

Another five years passed.

The idea of ​​dividing the north and the south was initially formed.

The country has entered a new era.

There are endless warriors in the north, and there are not a few who are powerful enough to conquer the mountains.

Nowadays, the southern literary world can be called a hundred schools of thought contending.

Another two years passed.

Hongdou gave birth to a son for Zhao Yuan, named Zhao Xiangtian.

It's a rather domineering name.

Some more years passed.

Zhao Yuan enshrined Zen in Kunlun Mountain.

It is said that it is a Zen ceremony, but actually it is considering the atmosphere of warriors in the north.

If it's not bad, it's time to promise what you promised your uncle back then.
