Guo Jin's currency reform was successful, and brand new gold coins, silver coins and copper coins replaced Wuzhu coins and became the legal official currency of the Wei Empire.

The bust of Guo Peng is engraved on the three types of coins, so the people affectionately call this new money [Taihuang Money] and are happy to use this kind of coins.

The promotion of new coins and the recycling of old coins have not been subject to much resistance from the public and have been implemented smoothly.

A few years later, the monetary reform was successful. By around the 17th year of Xingyuan, there was no trace of Wuzhu coins on the market.

Except for a few people who have a favorite to collect this kind of Wuzhu coins for collection, most of the Wuzhu coins have been rebuilt and cast into brand new coins.

Guo Jin has such a great situation and feels more and more deeply what a wise man his father is with a long-term vision and deep thoughts.

The more emperor he became, the more he felt that his father was actually worthy of his worship.

He once had the idea of ​​surpassing his father, but after freezing on the Huai River, the idea was frozen together and then broken into pieces.

He admitted that he could not surpass his father no matter what. All he could do was to take over his father's duties and continue to maintain the situation left by his father. Just this also made him use almost all his energy.

Guo Jin felt more and more that what Guo Peng said to him when he first succeeded to the throne was true.

As long as he can maintain this situation, he will be a commendable and qualified emperor. As for the future of the Wei Empire, will it be destroyed or something... how could he dare to pursue more?

But his father has been spending time in the Ministry of Agriculture and the School of Agriculture for many years.

He urged the Ministry of Agriculture to continuously improve agricultural tools, invent new agricultural tools, work hard on fertilizer manufacturing technology, improve fertilizer production technology, and then sent people to the countryside to guide farmers to cultivate land scientifically.

After discussing with Guo Jin, Guo Jin stipulated that every official of the Ministry of Agriculture must have three years of experience going to the countryside to be promoted.

This requires more officials who master the most advanced agricultural production technology to go to more remote areas to guide agricultural production and accumulate practical experience.

Under such circumstances, while the climate is getting colder, the Wei Empire's grain output remains at a considerable situation and there is no obvious dive.

As for the school department, it is much simpler. It is to build more county schools and promote school officials to go to local county schools to become teachers, which also sets a minimum of three years of teaching experience restrictions.

Guo Peng has repeatedly proposed to strive to establish a county school in every county and to absorb as many students as possible to study in the county school.

We insist on reducing tuition fees and providing a lunch to attract more children from poor families to study, reduce the number of illiterates in all aspects, and expand the audience of the imperial examinations.

Regular supervision and urgency will prevent the school from negligently.

He dared not raise higher requirements at will, but in his opinion, it is not impossible to achieve the establishment of county schools in every county in the country.

This goal was finally completed in the autumn of the 17th year of Xingyuan.

At the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Wei Empire, the county school popularization plan was successfully completed.

In every county in the Wei Empire, a county school was established, with a large or small scale, and more or less enrolled students.

On the day this goal was achieved, Guo Peng was very happy and called Guo Jin to the small pavilion in the garden behind Taishan Palace and sat with him.

"School, I'll give it back to you from today, I don't care."

Guo Peng, who was already 67 years old, looked at the little pond that had never changed, and said something that Guo Jin did not expect.

He has been emperor for seventeen years.

For seventeen years, he has never interfered in the affairs of the school. Guo Peng made a decision in his words and he got used to it.

Although Guo Peng actually didn't care about anything else in the next few years, the school department still followed Guo Peng's established route and Guo Jin did not intervene.

Suddenly, Guo Peng said he wanted to return the school to him, but he was still a little uncomfortable.

For him, the academic department does not affect the integrity of his power and the stability of his status.

"Did my father feel it's time to retire after success?"

Guo Peng nodded.

"After abdicating, my biggest thought was to let every county in the entire Wei State have a county school, so that as many children of farmers can study and learn to read. If I see such a scene, I can die with confidence."

"Father!"

Guo Jin was shocked and hurriedly said, "How could my father say such unlucky words? I dare not say such words again!"

Guo Peng waved his hand indifferently.

"Let's see, I'm sixty-seven years old. How old is I? My hair is almost white. What else can I expect?"

As he said this, Guo Peng sighed again.

"Zilong is gone, Zixiao is gone, Yun Chang is gone, and Zhicai is gone... Those old friends who have fought with me to conquer the world have left all the time, and those who haven't left have no breath left."

Guo Peng sighed, broke a piece of the fish food in his hand and threw it into the pond, splashing a small splash of water.

After the 13th year of Xingyuan, many old ministers left.

In March of the 13th year of Xingyuan, Zhao Yun died of illness in his hometown Changshan.

In July of the same year, Cao Ren died of illness in his hometown in Qiao County.

Two of the old Five Tiger Generals of the Wei Empire died of illness in the same year. The Wei army was saddened by it. The statues of the two were built in the Shouyang Mountain Martial Arts Hall. Every martial arts student who entered the school could witness their statues and listen to others telling their achievements.

After Zhang Fei passed away, Guan Yu resigned and returned to his hometown. In April of the 14th year of Xingyuan, he died of illness in his hometown Hedong County.

Xi Zhicai became ill after overwork. In the tenth year of Xingyuan, he resigned from his post and returned home. He died of illness in May of the 14th year of Xingyuan.

In the same year, Zao Zhi, who had lost everything, died of illness.

A year before his death, Guo Peng secretly met Zao Zhi in the Shouyang Mountain Martial Arts Hall and told him about the past, saying that he had not blamed him, but felt regretful that Zao Zhi cried bitterly for this.

In February of the 15th year of Xingyuan, Le Jin, who was unemployed at home, was seriously ill. His only thought was to meet Guo Peng.

The family reported to Guo Jin, and Guo Jin told Guo Peng, so Guo Peng secretly rushed to Lejin's house to meet him for the last time, holding his hand and saying that he had forgiven him, and that he had done something wrong.

On the third day after Guo Peng left, Le Jin passed away safely.

In the 16th year of Xingyuan, Zhang Liao fell ill in Yangzhou and returned to Luoyang to treat him. In June, he died of illness in Luoyang, and Guo Peng shed tears for it.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, Yu Jin was the only one left. Yu Jin also withdrew from the active-duty army and turned to the Shouyangshan Martial Arts Hall, and began to take up martial arts education work in the Wei Empire.

After Guo Peng conquered and ruled the world, the old guys who died one by one, Guo Peng felt sad at first, but the further he went, he got used to it and felt that this was an inevitable fate.

It's time for them to come.

I have suffered, suffered sins, and I have been happy to end my sufferings, and I have enjoyed huge power and honor. I have been lost and alert. I have been in a state of mind. I have been open to my mind at the last moment of my life.

Their attitude influenced Guo Peng.

From the sadness and empathy at the beginning to the sigh of relief at the end, Guo Peng was already very open to death.

He was a person who had died once. Although he had been old, he had forgotten what it felt like to die, but dying again was not something that he could not accept.

As time passed, he also felt that his body was getting tired and his energy became less and less effective.

Feeling inspired by this, Guo Peng also began to arrange his funeral.

It is said that it is arranging the funeral, but there is actually nothing to arrange.

That is, he wrote a will and handed it to Guo Jin, asking Guo Jin to handle his funeral according to his own orders after his death, and not to stick to the traditional etiquette system.

He abdicated very early and handed over the throne to Guo Jin. He is now just an old man without power. Even if he dies of illness immediately, there is nothing wrong with it.

His mausoleum was repaired a long time ago and was built on the distant Langjuxu Mountain.

He wanted to sleep there forever, forever, and forever to settle in the northern border. Regardless of whether this grassland would lose control, he would leave a pretext and necessity that would allow future generations to send troops to the northern border when they flourished again.

This prairie is of no meaningless to China, and this vast strategic depth will provide sufficient protection for any regime.

So after his death, his body would be transported to the Langjuxu Mountain Mausoleum for burial.

The only ones who were buried with him were his wife and a few noble people, and no one else would be buried in such a faraway north like him.

In order to facilitate the sacrifices of emperors in later generations and hold ceremonies and other activities, Guo Peng decided to leave his tomb under the Shouyang Mountain in Luoyang so that future kings do not have to go to Langjuxu Mountain to worship their ancestors, but only to worship their ancestors at the Shouyang Mountain Imperial Mausoleum next to Luoyang.

Shouyang Mountain is where he founded the martial arts lecture hall. Burial here also allows future emperors to pay attention to the Shouyang Mountain martial arts lecture hall, pay attention to martial arts and force. They should not abandon their own martial arts.

The rest is actually nothing.

Everything that should be done is done, nothing that has not been done, and what should be buried is buried, and he cannot see the days of the outbreak.

The Duchy of Western Shu founded by Guo Jun flourished and won steadily, and it was a foregone conclusion that swept South India and was unstoppable.

Guo Qiong has developed in Indonesia in a difficult situation. In order to cope with the rainy climate and develop agriculture, he has repaired a lot of water conservancy, and actively developed fisheries and fruit planting to supplement the side food to reduce people's demand for staple food.

Anyway, the fishing resources of the Thousand Islands Kingdom are really abundant. As long as you are willing to work, you will never starve to death.

He also achieved military victory. Although he had a Buddhist style, when he founded the country, he would not show mercy to deal with the natives and rushed around in big ships. The occupation of one island and one island had occupied hundreds of islands, and his power had begun to grow.

Guo Heng's construction and development in the Volga River Basin are also quite good.

It is said that some traces of nomadic people were also captured there, and it is suspected that they have direct connection with the Northern Huns who were driven away by the Eastern Han Dynasty.

When he was founded, he was attacked by nomadic cavalry and was very unhappy. So he led the Wei cavalry to fight with nomadic cavalry for several battles, and won victory, and expanded hundreds of miles of land. The skeleton of a country had been built.

Guo Jin was also worried about this and sent Cao Xiu to lead a group of elite troops to the Western Qin State to observe and guide, so as not to make a mistake in Guo Heng. Then he could not explain to Guo Peng.

Fortunately, the Wei army's iron cavalry attacked the nomadic cavalry in a crushing manner. Cao Xiu went to see it for a while, guided it for a while, and then came back.

After coming back, Cao Xiu submitted a letter to Guo Jin, saying that Guo Heng wanted to discuss with him that he needed some supplies and could he exchange them for prisoners.

It seems that the situation is under control.

With successful cases, the follow-up will become easier and more proficient. The matter of going out to seal the country will become more and more consensus among people. The early voyage and colonial rule have actually officially begun under the leadership of the Wei Empire.

Under the level of civilization and dominance that the Wei Empire could crush the surrounding areas, the native civilizations in each region were vulnerable and were hit by extinction.

The 36 countries in the Western Regions, Korea, Goguryeo in Liaodong, etc., as well as the Japanese archipelago, indigenous native civilizations around the South China Sea, the native civilizations of South India, the remnants of the Huns who fled to the Central Asian grasslands, etc.

These civilizations were destroyed by the Wei Empire in an absolutely crushing manner, and all written records, cultural buildings, sculptures, etc. were destroyed.

Anyone in the colonial area began to use Chinese characters, speak Chinese, wear Hanfu, eat Han food, and worship them with the latest trends of the Wei Empire.
