Chapter 472: The Tangle of Implementing Sinicization

"At the beginning of man, one's nature is good.

In Chou Chou's tender voice, a three-character classic was recited very fluently, and Li Yan and Xijun next to him were both smiling. After Chou Chou finished reclining for a while, Wen Xin, who was half-rely on the recliner, also waved to Chou Chou, then picked up a piece of candy from the table and stuffed it into Chou Chou's mouth. As a result, the little girl shouted sweetly: "Thank you aunt!"

Wen Xin reached out and rubbed Chou's little head, and said with a doting look on his face: "We Chou Chou is so smart. We can recite the Three Character Classic at such a young age. When your second brother is born, will you teach him how to recite it?"

"Okay~" Chou Chou agreed very simply, and at the same time he had not forgotten to stick out his tongue at Li Yan, and deliberately exposed the candy in his mouth, as if he was demonstrating to Li Yan.

Li Yan was amused and crying when he saw Chou Chou's appearance. He didn't expect that this girl was quite vengeful. He just worried that eating too much candy would be bad for her teeth, so he usually forbidden her to eat sweets. However, if Wen Xin asked her to eat it, it would be difficult for him to stop it. He didn't expect that this girl would demonstrate to him for such a thing. She was such a ghost elf!

It is now the spring of the 16th year of Zhenguan. Wen Xin is eight months pregnant, and her abdomen is also raised high, which is not convenient to walk. However, as a later generation, Li Yan knew that moderate exercise is good for pregnant women, and Meng Xue also supported this point of view. Therefore, Wen Xin would spend some time every day to go around the garden, and Li Yan would come to accompany him when he had time. For example, like today, their family would come to the back garden to play. When Wen Xin felt tired, he would go to the pavilion to rest.

Chou Chou is almost four years old, so Xijun has now begun to provide some enlightenment education for Chou Chou. For example, the Three Character Classic created by Li Yan, Chou Chou has been able to memorize for a long time. He can read and write dozens of words, which makes everyone praise Chou Chou for being smart. As for the son Li Qi, who was born by Wu Meiniang, he is only two years old now. Originally, they were also together, but unfortunately the boy wobbled his pants again, but Wu Meiniang pulled him back to change his pants.

"Husband, Chou Chou is almost four years old now, Qi'er is over two years old, and Sister Wen Xin is about to give birth. So should I build a school and ask a few respected bachelors to teach them to study?" At this moment, Jin Shengman, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke. Since she became Li Yan's secretary and helped handle government affairs, Jin Shengman's status in the royal palace has also increased rapidly. In front of Li Yan, she dared to put forward her own opinions.

Although Jin Shengman only made an opinion on establishing a Wangfu Academy, Li Yan always felt that she had something to say. When she thought of the news from Huli a few days ago and Kim Shengman's suggestion, Li Yan finally understood it. It seemed that she had not given up on her own proposal.

After Huli reported the request from the grassland people, Jin Shengman was very keen to realize that Li Yan had huge hidden dangers for the placement of these grassland people. Now, although those grassland people are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Qi Palace, the relationship between the two is actually more like a cooperation. The grassland people sent troops, and Li Yan provided them with compensation. Now because the grassland people are under the control of Li Yan, they dare not resist at all. But if these grassland people become stronger in the future and even learn the technology of shipbuilding, then the other party might bite back and break away from Li Yan's control.

It is precisely based on the above considerations that Jin Shengman proposed to Li Yan that the current way of ruling the grassland people must be changed, and the way of this change is assimilation, such as supporting the grassland people to build cities on the Hokkien Island and change their current nomadic lifestyle. In addition, promoting the sinicization among the grassland people, not only should they speak Chinese and wear Hanfu, but they should also establish schools so that they should receive Han education from a young age, and also send officials to the Hokkien Island, so that the grassland people on this island will be firmly controlled.

In addition, Jin Shengman also suggested that Li Yan should promote the Chineseization of the newly occupied areas. Although this method has been slower to take effect, the effect is very good. I believe that as long as decades of Chinese education and the strong rule of the central government, especially after people who have received Chinese education since childhood, the people in the occupied areas will forget their original country and nation and follow Li Yan's footsteps faithfully.

Of course, Kim Seung-man's suggestion also has certain selfishness. For example, the Silla people are most influenced by the Central Plains culture, so there is naturally no problem with accepting sinicization. And they will be the first ethnic groups to complete sinicization. By then, Li Yan will definitely give Silla people higher treatment. Even if they are not as good as the Han people, they are much stronger than other occupied nations.

Li Yan knew very well about the benefits brought by Jin Shengman's suggestion and her little selfishness. He also considered the promotion of the occupied land from the beginning. However, in his heart, Li Yan had always been a Han nationalist, and he had a deep disgust for later countries such as North and South Korea, Japan, etc. It was this disgust that made Li Yan unwilling to promote the promotion of the occupied places, because in his opinion, this was too cheap for these small countries. If possible, he really wanted to order his troops to raise the butcher knife and clean up all the scumbags.

However, this is obviously unrealistic. The three Hanzhou and Japan have a population of millions. If Li Yan really doesn't care about it, he will only fall into the quagmire of war in the end. Not to mention controlling these places, it would probably be nice to not be driven out in shame in the end.

It is precisely because of the disgust in his heart that although Li Yan could not deal with Sanhan and the Japanese arbitrarily, he let the current situation go. For example, there are wars everywhere in Japan. As long as there is a war, there will be no shortage of Japanese slaves. Sanhan is better, and there are few slave captures, and the people can have enough food. Although they are still exploited by Han industrial and commercial owners, they are much better than before.

The same is true for the grassland people. The grassland people in the north have always been the enemy of the Central Plains. Since ancient times, countless Han children have fallen under the horse's hooves of these Hu people. Therefore, Li Yan's disgust towards them is no less than that of Sanhan and the Japanese. However, now Li Yan needs to use the grassland people as his own sword, so he gave them a piece of land and helped them gain a foothold on the Heiyi Island.

However, Li Yan's rule method is very unstable. Only by relying on current high-pressure or loose rule, problems will arise sooner or later. It is precisely because of this that Jin Shengman proposed to promote sinicization and stabilize Li Yan's rule in various places. Today, Jin Shengman took the initiative to build a school museum in the royal palace, which was actually just a reminder to Li Yan that his children should go to school and those aliens should also learn Han culture, so that they can truly surrender.

After thinking through this, Li Yan looked at Jin Shengman deeply. Although the other party also had some selfishness, he mainly thought about himself and hoped that Li Yan's rule would not have any problems. From this, it can be seen that Jin Shengman has completely taken on his role and regarded her as one of the mistresses of the Prince Qi Mansion. Thinking of this, Li Yan also felt warm in his heart.

The weather has warmed up in March in spring, but there is still wind, so Wen Xin didn't stay outside for too long. After Li Yan sent Wen Xin and Chou Chou back to the room, he walked straight to Jin Shengman's room.

Jin Shengman's personality is the same as Wen Xin. She likes quietness and not moving. Although she is from Silla, she has received Confucian education since she was a child, so the room is decorated very elegantly. There is an incense burner in the main hall, and the sloping smoke emits, which makes the fragrance in the room exudes.

However, Li Yan didn't like the smell of incense, so she frowned as soon as she came in. Jin Shengman was resting with tea and was very surprised to see Li Yan coming in. They have been married for several years, and this is the first time Li Yan has come to her room.

Seeing Jin Shengman's surprised look, Li Yan's face turned red. Thinking that he was a little too heartless when he ignored Jin Shengman in the past few years. However, he still said in a stiff tone: "I don't like the smell of incense, and this thing is not very good for the body, so don't order it in the future!"

As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, Jin Shengman's whole body froze, and then he responded with a red look: "Yes, I will obey my order!"

However, when Jin Shengman finished speaking, tears were already rising from his eyes. However, she didn't want Li Yan to see her weak side, so she secretly turned her face and wiped away the tears in her eyes. In the past few years of marrying Li Yan, this is not only the first time Li Yan has come, but also the first time he has said concern for him. In addition, Li Yan said that he doesn't like incense, which means that Li Yan will come to her often in the future, and may even come at night. Thinking of this, Jin Shengman, whose tears have not dried up, feels hot in his ears.

Li Yan didn't notice that Jin Shengman thought so much at this moment. He walked over and found a chair to sit down, and then said, "Shengman, I have thought about it carefully these days, and it feels good, so you think about it carefully these days and come up with a detailed plan. Then I will discuss it with Wang Fu and others. If there is no problem, then implement it immediately!"

Kim Seung-man was also overjoyed when he heard Lee Seung-man asking him to make a plan. This plan itself was nothing, but it meant that his husband had begun to accept him from his heart. This was the most important thing for Kim Seung-man.
