Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 583

After Ye Luxian left, Luo Youdu thought about the details of the meeting with Ye Luxian alone, his hands rubbed together unconsciously, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Those who belong to the barbarians and the Chinese are from the Chinese, and those who are from the Chinese to the barbarians are from the barbarians!"

"Your Majesty is not a bloodthirsty person. Jiaozhi and Dali are the most lacking of Han people. The Khitan royal family is deeply sinicized, and their talents and learning are more common than most Han people. They have no influence in Jiaozhi and Dali, and they are no different from Han people. It is worth decades. , that is, there is no such thing as the Khitan royal family."

Ye Luxian's words revealed two problems. First, he couldn't let go of Khitan, so he had no choice but to leave this time.Second, he has a certain benevolence and is deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture.Third, he proposed the best solution to the Khitan royal family.

In this way, Yeluxian will be useful when attacking Khitan in the future.

Luo Youdu didn't intend to reuse Yeluxian prematurely, but it didn't prevent him from squeezing all the value from the other party.

If he wins in the future, Ye Luxian is the best candidate to persuade the remnants of Khitan to surrender.

Especially those Khitan royal families who have mastered Khitan's core strength and plan to resist stubbornly, so as to avoid the situation where the wild fire will not burn out and the spring wind will blow again.

With this in mind, someone called Hubu Lang Zhongyou Jianyan.

You Jianyan is a scholar who is nearly forty years old, and he is capable.

Luo Youdu had a great sense of him, and ordered him to find a house for Ye Luxian near the Imperial College, so that Ye Luxian could integrate into the life of Bianjing.

Luo Youdu arranged for Yeluxian to continue handling temple affairs.

After reviewing today's memorial, Luo Youdu asked someone to deliver today's newspaper.

Reading newspapers in his spare time is one of Luo Youdu's current habits.

As the mouthpiece of the imperial court to control the world's public opinion, the weight of the newspaper is the top few in his mind.

Luo Youdu took the newspaper from the servant and read it carefully. The first page recorded the national policy.

This aspect is mainly to let the virtuous and talented people in the world understand the national conditions and the general trend of the world, but most people watch it very lively.

This is also impossible.

Especially in the decades before this, in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, martial arts were rampant in the world, and literati were trampled underfoot.

The literacy rate of the entire Huaxia land has been greatly reduced.

After Luo Youdu succeeded to the throne, he actively promoted culture and education, and regarded cultural and educational achievements as one of the key points in the performance evaluation of officials.But most of the affected are children and teenagers, and most of the adults are running around to support their families, and have no chance to re-learn.

Of course, it does not rule out hard work, such as Zhang Xiong, the vice capital of the navy, who is determined and indomitable.

Zhang Xiong grew from an illiterate boatman to a general in command of more than ten thousand sailors today. He is familiar with military books and proficient in water warfare. He really has great perseverance.

However, such people are really very few.

Zhang Xiong's success is also based on meeting Luo Youdu.

Only when there is no need to worry about food and clothing can one succeed in learning.Otherwise, it would be impossible for his eight sons to learn little by little starting from asking Confucian scholars to read military books.

Luo You glanced over, but didn't take a closer look.

This aspect was brought up by him and several prime ministers, so there is no need to read more.

The second page is where he attaches the most importance, and he will read it carefully every time.

On the development of state affairs.

This is a forum for discussing current affairs. You can write articles, discuss the current situation, give opinions, talk about local development, and even talk about military affairs, etc.

As long as it is beneficial to the court and the country, anyone can express their opinions.

This is an opportunity for people all over the world to write a letter and speak their minds.

Luo Youdu has always paid equal attention to both civil and military affairs. He did not suppress literati because of the weakness of the Song Dynasty, nor did he deliberately suppress warriors due to the turmoil of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but instead sought a balance between them.

The literati in the Song Dynasty were treated with a discount, and the Luoyu court also had it.

Luo Youdu discovered a lot of talents here, including Zhao Changyan and Shi Xizai who gave advice, and Ma Zhi, a medical expert who reorganized "Materia Medica" in the above table, and so on.

Luo Youdu read it carefully, the article extracted this time closely followed the facts and focused on recuperation.

Or write about water control, or about opening canals, or about planting mulberry to persuade farmers to talk about it.

It doesn't matter if you can write new ideas.

The articles that can be extracted may have been eye-catching 80 or [-] years ago, but now these things are already outdated.

Luo Youdu shook his head, the recent argument was a bit unpleasant, and it has been a while since he published an article that caught his eye.

Then look down, some introduce the virtues of civil servants, and some introduce the heroic deeds of generals.

In short, it is to promote a concept, the civil servants of the Luoyu court are of high moral character, and the military officials protect the family and the country, and they are brave and invincible.

The last is poetry and songs, classic articles.

Luo Youdu closed the newspaper, feeling lonely after reading it.

Is it aesthetic fatigue?

still?

It shouldn't be reasonable.

This spring is approaching, and scholars from all over the world gather in Bianjing, which is the time when talents gather together.

Why are there not many good articles?
Such a thought flashed through Luo Youdu's mind, but before he could think about it, Zhang Xiong walked in.

He brought the latest movement of Goryeo.

Because of the existence of Chen Chuyao and Yi Shenzheng, the war situation in Goryeo was under Luo Youdu's control.

Khitan and Wa attacked Goryeo from north to south, and Koryo was caught off guard at first, losing dozens of cities in a row.

But with the shrinking of the battle front, both Khitan and Wa kingdoms became exhausted.

Among them, the Khitan army besieged Pyongyang City, and could not attack for a long time.

After the Wa Kingdom took Qingzhou, it attacked Sizhou in the south of Shannan to the west, and stopped at the city of Sizhou.

The two attacking forces were in a stalemate for more than four months.

One month after the Khitan army tried to attack Pyongyang, they chose to encircle rather than attack, and assumed a posture of encircling and attacking Pyongyang.

However, there was a little conflict within the Wa Kingdom itself, the details of which were unknown, and the offensive also weakened.

This time of crisis is the time when ability is tested the most.

Chen Chuyao and Yi Shenzheng, a hard worker and a braggart, successfully became the glue between the Hanchen and the nobles of Korea, and their status in Korea rose sharply.

"Your Majesty, the Jurchen Department crossed the sea and attacked Gaocheng County on Shuofang Road. They went straight to Jinhua County in Dongzhou by surprise."

Luo Youdu was startled, and hurriedly took the map of Koryo, and found Jinhua County.

Goryeo has been deeply influenced by Sinicization, and many of the densely populated cities, states and counties on the map are familiar faces.

It is not copied from the Central Plains, no one believes it.

"This is about to approach the city!"

Luo Youdu said that to the west of Jinhua County is Kaesong, the capital of Goryeo, but it is only a hundred miles away.

He paused and said, "Khitan's move is beautiful! Although Pyongyang is not the capital of Goryeo, it is a barrier to the north. The ancestor of Goryeo attached great importance to this place, and almost restored the original city defense of Goguryeo. Khitan was not good at it. Siege, with the idea of ​​siege and reinforcements, wanted to consume Goryeo's viable army. As a result, they relied on Pyongyang's strength and refused to support it. This time, they will go straight to Kaesong, and it depends on whether Goryeo will support it."

"Jurchen, Wa Kingdom, Khitan, and Mongolia are all alive!"

Luo Youdu's eyes were shining brightly, and they were disabled together. In the next hundred years, there would be no need to worry about Dongfang.
