Depending on their interests, people's study rooms may contain books on the Four Books and Five Classics, or books on agriculture and divination, or books on how to make a country rich and strengthen its army. Of course, it is also possible to secretly hide some books teaching Huang Chi.
Before meeting Wu Yi, King Yong's study room was also filled with these books. Many of them were sent by the emperor. They were all books written by capable people with lofty ideals throughout the ages. I hope King Yong could study hard.
It's just that how could a young man like to read these obscure words? Besides, without certain social experience, even if he read them, he might not understand the true meaning of the books.
Therefore, many books are just on the bookshelf with no trace of being read. I don’t know what those children from poor families who are struggling to find a book will feel in their hearts.
After meeting Wu Yi, Wu Yi taught him arithmetic and taught him how to use it in practice. Now King Yong's study room is almost filled with data and materials from his experiments, and there are several large boxes full of them. There is no doubt that
, the current King Yong is a master of theory.
These data materials are not entirely data on military formation drills. They also include analysis of public sentiment in Zhongdu, maps of the four directions, etc.
There are many things that, without Wu Yi's hints, King Yong would already take the initiative to ask for them! And these are all things related to the lifeline of the dynasty, and their value is inestimable.
For example, the map of the dynasty. It can be said that those who have actually seen the complete map of the dynasty will not have more than a hundred people in the Daji Dynasty. Some low-level officials cannot even memorize the states and counties in the dynasty clearly.
The Daji Dynasty had begun to promote the popularization of knowledge a long time ago, at least during the reign of Emperor Rui. However, the truly popular knowledge was only the Four Books and Five Classics. The real core content would not and could not be mastered by the majority of people.
And through King Yong's Dongfang, Wu Yi also became one of these hundred people. It must be said that this was Wu Yi's luck.
It was his luck that King Yong met Wu Yi, and the same thing happened when Wu Yi met King Yong. It was precisely because both parties felt that they had gained a lot that they were able to maintain a good relationship.
After tidying up his clothes, Wu Yi entered the study. King Yong was eating breakfast and looking at the information of unknown contents. Even Wu Yi didn't notice when he entered the study.
Wu Yi coughed slightly, and King Yong just came back to his senses and said: "So it's you! Just come in, there is nothing to avoid between you and me!"
Wu Yi said: "That being said, the etiquette should not be omitted, otherwise outsiders will look at it and say that you are incompetent!"
"What outsiders want to say, that's their business! A group of people have nothing to do and are making trouble unreasonably. Don't pay attention to them!" King Yong snorted coldly, and was very dissatisfied with the outsiders in Wu Yi's mouth.
In fact, because of the close relationship between King Yong and Wu Yi, many people wanted to attack King Yong and could not find a way to break through, so they took advantage of Wu Yi's shortcomings. Wu Yi taught King Yong arithmetic, but in their words, they were pursuing profit.
The law of merchants is obviously something that is of great benefit to the country and the people, but in the mouths of those noble scholars, it is filthy.
Fortunately, King Yong was not a three-year-old child, so he was not easily deceived. On the other hand, he had tasted the benefits of arithmetic, and his understanding of things had significantly improved, and he did not care about these rumors at all.
I moved a stool and sat in front of King Yong. The breakfast porridge was already prepared, and a maid brought it to me. It was white fungus and lotus seed soup. The white fungus looked like a white lotus, and the lotus seeds were like bright pearls that melted in the mouth.
After finishing the bowl of porridge, King Yong didn't even finish half of the bowl. Wu Yi couldn't help but glance at the paper in front of him. It turned out to be about the customs and customs of a county in the southeast.
At first he didn't care, but at the next moment, Wu Yi suddenly understood something and asked: "Your Highness, is this county the place you recommend?"
King Yong did not even raise his head. He nodded slightly, shook his head slightly, and said: "Yesterday, my father summoned several of my brothers to see him in order to announce this matter. The day of election is not far away!"
"Right now, my place of recommendation has not been established yet, but there are just some rumors. It is possible in several counties. You have to check them out one by one!"
"His Highness is caring for the people, which is a blessing to the common people. One day he will definitely be able to tell this story again!" Wu Yi praised. There was a suspicion of flattery, but compared to others, at least at this moment, Wu Yi was willing.
King Yong smiled slightly, "When did you become a flatterer?" Then he said a little helplessly: "Father is known as a benevolent king who comes once in a thousand years. Ninety-five percent of the people under his rule are satisfied with his actions. Don't
When it comes to the story that I can restore my father, I may not even have a 90% support rate. When the time comes, I will have an 80% support rate, and I will be thankful!"
Compared with when Wu Yi first met King Yong, he had grown up a lot. He was no longer the young man who only wanted to move forward. His increase in knowledge forced him to recognize the reality.
Let me give you an example to prove it. A few days ago, King Yong tried to carry out small-scale reforms within the guard team, changing the welfare system, changing monthly salary to performance, and linking performance results with salary.
Basically, you can understand that the distribution of military positions has been changed to distribution according to work. King Yong thought that with the blessing of his own status as a prince, there would not be much difficulty. However, within two days of implementation, there were rumors in the court that he would make it easier for his ancestors to become law.
.
The ancestral laws are not immutable. The problem is that the ancestral laws are immutable.
What constitutes law is that after implementation, laws and regulations that have been tested and proven effective in practice should not be changed. They should follow the rules and regulations rather than change them overnight.
Many of the Yongwang Guard Corps are sons of wealthy families. They serve as low-level officers within the Guard Corps. Now that military positions are distributed according to work, their incomes will be similar to those of ordinary soldiers.
Therefore, although this small reform was welcomed by the middle and lower-level soldiers in the army, the middle-level non-commissioned officers were not satisfied. They had status and family background, so they clamored for the central government officials and launched an attack.
In the end, the top leaders of the five armies expressed doubts about this. Amidst the doubts, King Yong had no choice but to temporarily abandon this reform.
Are you curious? King Yong was not a prince, and what he did was just an internal reform of the guards. How could he even attract the top brass of the five armies?
It is not difficult to think of the reason. King Yong is not a prince, but he may become the emperor in the future. King Yong's actions will undoubtedly hurt the interests of a group of people headed by them, and they will naturally counterattack.
After this incident, King Yong grew up a lot.
Man! What you fear most is not being able to recognize yourself and being self-righteous. The sooner you understand your own position, the less pitfalls you will encounter in the future.
