Cao Yun stood in front of the camp with his hands behind his back, looking up at the top of the Lotus Peak in the distance.

It was dusk, and the setting sun was setting in the west, shining from behind the Lotus Peak. The light fell on the pale yellow building, adding countless brilliance to it. The entire building seemed to emit light at this moment.

"Your Majesty, I will be ashamed." Guo Xiancheng looked depressed and self-blame. Wherever the hall stood, it was a loud slap in the face and slapped every Qi man in the face.

The muscles on Cao Yun's face twitched slightly, "It's no big deal, just do your best. I have seen their achievements in this area for more than half a year in Ming Dynasty. We are indeed unable to compare, but the road we built to the top of the mountain is not bad. It's great that we can achieve such achievements in just over a dozen days. As long as we take the initiative to build this road, the country's strength will be just around the corner."

"Thank you for your unsincereness." Guo Xiancheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just a road. What's the point of being guilty? It's just a matter of face. How much face do we have now?" Cao Yun sneered. "It's better where this palace is standing. Let all of us Qi people take a look and have a clear understanding of ourselves. Although we claim to be the largest country in the world, we have already been working hard on the outside. If we don't chase it, we will end up like Qin and Chu, and we will be destroyed for no more than a day. Standing there for a day is a warning to us."

"I will be taught at the end." Guo Xiancheng said solemnly. "Your Majesty, things like cement are indeed powerful weapons in the military. Why can't we make them? And the strange equipment they use, why can't we make them in great Qi and great power?"

"Frozen for three feet is not a day's cold." Cao Yun sighed: "When Qin Feng was founding, he proposed the strategy of building a country with the heart of the country, business as the brothers and sisters of the country, and labor as the muscles of the country. Over the past ten years, they have completely implemented these three national policies from top to bottom. They strictly prohibited land annexation, purchased land in the name of the country and distributed it to landless farmers. Their agricultural tax was out of extreme low. They exempted corvee and adopted the method of state purchase. This alone made the Ming Dynasty's agriculture achieve unprecedented prosperity.

Zhan, if you have food in your hands, you are not panicked. They vigorously develop business. The heavy commercial tax is rare in history, but they try their best to find new business opportunities for their merchants and constantly explore wealth for merchants. Although merchants pay heavy taxes, they can make more money than before. They vigorously promote craftsmen. Any craftsmen who make some inventions will be immediately appointed as officials, which greatly arouses the enthusiasm of craftsmen. Various inventions and creations are endless. Whether it is cement or the equipment you say, they are the products of these policies stimulation."

"It's not too late to make up for the siege." Guo Xiancheng whispered: "Your Majesty, we can naturally do what they can do."

"We can't copy it all." Cao Yun sighed, "If you can't do it well, you will go in the opposite direction! But since the Great Pearl and Jade are ahead, we can choose the good ones and follow them. There are many things that are not suitable for the local environment and need to be improved."

"At least we have the land now." Guo Xiancheng said.

"Far from far, it's not enough." Cao Yun said: "The land annexation in Daqi is not just a problem with the Eight Great Masters, but a problem with the entire country. We will never be able to do it like the Ming Dynasty. Many things, even if we know how the other party does it, we know that it's good to do it, but we can't follow it."

"Did we just keep relying on the Ming people? Your Majesty, if this continues, the gap between us will become bigger and bigger. It's not that we are discouraged. Now the national strength of both sides is almost on the same level. Once the Ming people annexed the Chu State and the strength will reach a higher level, we will be at a disadvantage. In the past, the three countries resisted Qi, we could still attack and provoke conflicts between them in exchange for time and space. They were originally ulterior motives, so that the Great Qi was unfavorable, but now, it is very different. A unified Ming Dynasty has a much greater threat to us than in the past."

"We are on the way too." Cao Yun nodded: "The Chief Auxiliary Tian Fen has been studying the policies of the Ming people over the years, preparing to cut and repair them and then graft them onto the land of our Daqi. The land that was awarded with military merits will be adopted and used by the court. The land confiscated by the Eight Great Masters is intended to be used for this. A detailed plan will be issued later. You can convey this news to the soldiers in the army. As long as you fight bravely and make contributions, the court will reward him with a piece of land. In our Daqi, it is not easy to get a piece of land of our own now!"

Guo Xiancheng was overjoyed: "In this way, the morale in the army will inevitably rise."

Cao Yun smiled and turned around and walked towards the camp: "The old horse is in the stable and has ambitions for thousands of miles. Although the horse of Daqi is old now, he is a little staggering and struggling, as long as he raises his head, it will not be easily shaken."

"Under the leadership of His Majesty, Da Qi will surely regain its vitality and re-install it on the road." Guo Xiancheng said: "The current morale in the army is strong and the domestic politics is stable. This is a good opportunity for His Majesty to show his skills."

"The resistance will always exist. It's just that now it's from the light to the dark."

"Your Majesty, is Tian Fen trustworthy?" Guo Xiancheng asked, "As soon as I think of what he did before, I will dislike him."

Cao Yun laughed: "It's not about trust or not, but I believe that Tian Fen's desire to become stronger is the same as mine. As long as this goal is unified, he will be my chief assistant. It is not easy to find a chief assistant like him in the Great Qi."

"Your Majesty is really generous."

"It's okay to be unlucky!" Cao Yun said: "It's said that I'm a big Qi full of talents, but after I went to Mingguo and went to see their Beijing University, I knew what real talents meant to be full of talents. It's obvious that our employment strategies will change in the future. Special talents will do special things. I keep this sentence that Qin Feng said to me firmly in my heart. What does our university teach students, how to write a flowery article, how to write a popular poem, and how to spend a long time exploring the old papers and trying hard to explain the great meaning of the saints' articles. I don't say that

This is wrong, but it is not very beneficial for governing the country. The Ming people also attach great importance to civil governance. Their Minister of Rites proposed that every village has schools, and every family has a sound of reading, which is even more advanced than the civil governance we advocate. More importantly, their schools have to put their knowledge into practice. I saw in the Beijing University that they actually divided dozens of subjects, including those who specialize in water conservancy, those who specialize in academic calculations, and those who teach people how to survey, map, build roads and bridges, and a variety of different things. These people don’t need to learn anything else, they just need to master this subject, and they only need to study this subject in their lifetime."

Guo Xiancheng nodded and said, "This kind of targeted talent training is indeed much better than our Daqi."

"It's ridiculous that our country in Daqi, there are still some so-called people who laugh at them for being so clever and lewd skills that are difficult to reach the elegance of the great people. These people don't think about it. Does Xiao Hua have less fame and knowledge than them? Establish his heart for the world, establish his destiny for the people, inherit his unique knowledge for the past saints, and bring peace to the ages. The slogans are shouted loudly, but when they are implemented, they are all experts and masters. If they can't do it, we Daqi will continue like this, but we will be defeated by the strange skills and lewd skills in their mouths." Cao Yun said coldly: "If Daqi wants to be strong, we must first turn the idea of ​​these people, but this is the most difficult thing. Although these people are not good at doing things, they are all famous and have a hundred responses. They have a strong neck."

"No matter how strong you are, can you use a steel knife to force yourself?" Guo Xiancheng sneered: "Your Majesty, you can cut the mess with a quick knife. Now is the best time. They are still in shock and dare not yell around. In a while, they may jump up again."

"I asked Cao Hui to rectify the Imperial College in Chang'an City." Cao Yun laughed: "Those people have a lot of braids in their hands and hold them in Cao Hui's hands. This time, I will drive all these guys who only talk but don't practice back and take their grandsons. They can't let them occupy the pit and not poop. The Imperial College in Daqi should cultivate those real talents. I don't want those bastards who only know how to be officials and can't do things."

Guo Xiancheng laughed and said, "This is really a great talent. Cao Hui keeps it so that those people can free up their space obediently."

Cao Yun sighed, "It's not that I don't want the literary and romantic style, but it's not suitable now. After we unify the world and defeat the powerful enemy, let's talk about these things. At present, we can only use thunder means and must not have the heart of a Bodhisattva. I believe that the I recorded in later history books will definitely be unbearable."

"Your Majesty, justice is in the hearts of the people." Guo Xiancheng didn't care. "Only those who win are qualified to write history. Although those who are stubborn, the facts will shut up. As long as your Majesty wins the final victory, they will immediately change their position. There are not many of these people who have bones."

Cao Yun laughed: "If you spread your words, your name will be kept on Chang'an Smell Street."

"I am a military general, why should I care about the opinions of these literati?" Guo Xiancheng smiled. Seeing that he had arrived at Cao Yun's imperial tent, he stopped: "Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work, let's take a break today."
