Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 151 People come from Mozhou, the rivers and lakes decline

The capital reconstruction plan is mainly divided into two aspects.

One is material construction, such as the large-scale public gardens built on the ruins of the imperial palace, the demolition of those large mansions, and even the construction of some public areas, all of which are included.

The imperial palace is gone, and the large mansions of the princes and nobles will be demolished whether they are burned or not.After demolition, many residential houses and some functional places can be built in their original places.

Regarding the planning in this area, Su Yuan is still working on a big blueprint.He is now acting as a city designer, re-planning the capital city, and planning it into a capital city he wants.

Apart from material construction, another construction is spiritual construction.

Without spirit, no matter how gorgeous the material is, it is a false bubble. With spirit, even if you have nothing, you can build a great miracle from scratch.

In terms of spiritual development, the most important thing is to popularize education so that ordinary people have the opportunity to learn to read and write.This point has already been experienced in Taiyuan, and it can also be applied when moving to the capital.

It is nothing more than opening a school and teaching for free.Teachers are appointed by some scholars, so it is a job to be hired by the yamen.

With a population of more than 200 million in the capital city, even if only one percent is willing to learn to read and write, there are many schools needed, and a large amount of money must be spent on the construction of such schools.

This aspect is in charge of Lu Wuyou, who specializes in managing money and money, and can be said to be Su Yuan's "Minister of the Household Department".In terms of silver, there is no shortage. The most important thing in the capital is rich people. After copying those noble families one by one, the accumulated silver is as many as several hundred million taels.

With money as a base, the construction of these two aspects can be promoted smoothly.

When Su Yuan came to the No. [-] courtyard, Zhou Shu was writing and drawing at the desk.

The No. [-] courtyard is the "Design Institute", which is specially used to make various construction drawings. Su Yuan walked to Zhou Shu and took a look. What she was drawing on the paper seemed to be related to Xishan.

"what is this?"

"Xishan." Zhou Shu looked up at him.

"I know it's West Hills, isn't it also included in Central Park?"

Central Park is the name given by Su Yuan to the large park under construction. As for Xishan, it used to be the exclusive leisure, vacation and hunting place for the royal family.Not to mention ordinary people, even wealthy businessmen and aristocrats cannot easily set foot.

"Well, I want to open a few more roads on the mountain. In the past, only royal people could go, so only one road was opened... In the future, there will be more people, and one road will not be enough?" Zhou Shu said.

"That's right, you're quite thoughtful."

"Of course." The corner of Zhou Shu's mouth raised slightly.But she immediately felt that this was not what she was used to saying.She felt helpless, knowing that it was influenced by Su Yuan, and she became more and more casual in speaking and doing things.

"However, building roads and gardens is a big project." Su Yuan sat down on the side, looking at the various construction drawings on the wall, "It takes only three to five months to lay the foundation. It will take at least a year or two."

This is still fast. After all, there are no excavators in this era, and the soil is shoveled manually with a shovel.

This made Su Yuan wonder for a while, is it possible for him to summon a team... such as "Modern Construction Team" or something?At that time, all excavators, dump trucks, and road rollers will be used, and the construction efficiency will definitely increase rapidly.

Of course, this is just Su Yuan's reverie, he feels that there is a high probability that there will be no such thing, after all, what kind of soldiers are construction teams?The probability of summoning a team of cooking squads is even greater!You must know that during the period of the Red Army, the cooking squad was also used as soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was still very strong.

And he is still thinking about a problem, that is, even if modern soldiers are summoned, with modern machines, whether they can be used is a matter.For example, if a drone is summoned, where can it provide electricity?

Summon a modern tank, where will the diesel be used?Is it possible that it can only be used as a one-time use, and after the oil that comes with the summoning is used up, it becomes an immobile iron bastard.

To plan ahead, we must develop science and technology.

Su Yuan didn't have a reserve of knowledge in this area, and he didn't have any "encyclopedia" system loaded in his head, so he couldn't make a bunch of inventions and creations like some senior traversers.

What he can do is to provide funds, encourage talents in this field, let them use their intelligence and wisdom, and accelerate scientific and technological progress.

Su Yuan believes that there are many talents. As long as there is an enlightened atmosphere to encourage them to innovate, new scientific progress will surely spring up like mushrooms after rain.He himself can occasionally provide an idea.

A few days later, another group of people came from Taiyuan. Many of them were talents discovered by Lu Wuyou. Now that there is a shortage of people in the capital, they should be transferred here first to fill some posts.

Su Yuan's big housekeeper, Yang Zhen, also came. If he wants to stay in the capital in the future, Yang Zhen will naturally come to help take care of his life.

During this period, Su Yuan also summoned once, and got [-] ordinary archers, which is better than nothing.He is not particularly scarce for ordinary soldiers now. With such a large territory, he can also recruit troops and form a large-scale army with real soldiers.

Now the summoned soldiers he most hopes to come are either special arms, rare generals, or even some advanced weapons.But he knew that there was no need to worry, the days were still long, just wait slowly.

Today, apart from these people from Taiyuan, there is another person who was unexpected by Su Yuan.

"If I remember correctly, your Excellency is the head of the Gu Yue Sect, Senior Furu He?"

In a teahouse in the capital, Su Yuan was sitting opposite the white-haired old man, the old man he had met once before, the leader of the rivers and lakes in Mozhou, Gu He, the head of the Gu Yue Sect.

"It's the old man." Furukawa cupped his fists and said, "I didn't expect the prince to remember the name of the old man."

"Senior has the air of a master, which impresses me deeply. I don't know why Senior Furukawa came to Beijing to find me this time?"

Gu Hedao; "To tell you the truth, the major sects in the rivers and lakes of Mozhou decided after discussion that they want to join the prince."

"Oh?" Su Yuan's eyes lit up, "It seems that everyone has really figured it out."

Previously, when he hosted various sects in Taiyuan, almost all the answers he gave him were refusal.It didn't take long for the attitude to change 180 degrees, and there must be a reason for it.

Furukawa said: "To be honest, it's all because of the prince's ability to govern the land. The disciples of all major sects have dropped sharply during this period. Some small gangs have been unable to support and chose to disband. The remaining gangs want to work for the prince. Seek to survive."

Furukawa didn't say anything false, what he said was the truth.

With Su Yuan's growing territory, almost all the gangs in the north have been greatly impacted, especially in Mozhou. With the local reforms, fewer and fewer ordinary people choose to join the gangs.And I don't understand why I want to join, why I want to learn martial arts.

In the past, learning martial arts might be for self-protection and for being a hero, but under the governance of Su Yuan's policy, there is no need to learn martial arts at all. If there is any trouble, the Bei'an army will help to deal with it immediately.Whoever is at fault is punished, and the county government has become a very reasonable place.

Some people are unwilling to act chivalrously and righteously, because the policy states that in case of trouble, they cannot privately entangle people and horses for revenge, but report to the officials.If you retaliate privately, you will violate the law.

In this way, it will become more and more difficult for Jianghu gangs to survive, to attack the local yamen?They dare not.After much deliberation, in the end, he had no choice but to join Su Yuan... Since he couldn't beat him, he had no choice but to join.

As the largest sect in Mozhou, the Gu Yue Sect had no choice but to take this step.Gu He, the head of the sect, knew very well that if he didn't do this and other sects would join Su Yuan, then waiting for the end of the Gu Yue sect might not be good.

Especially after he learned that the Bei'an Army had captured the capital, and knew that Su Yuanyi was unstoppable, it was a wise move to join at this time.

At this moment, Su Yuan saw that Furuto was so direct, and he confessed himself: "Since the major gangs in Mozhou want to join the Bei'an Army, I, Su Yuan, naturally welcome it. But the ugly words are up front. After joining, everyone must obey in all actions." Military orders must not be disobeyed."

"As long as the prince doesn't let me wait to die in vain, I will naturally have nothing else to say." Furukawa didn't agree, but tentatively said.

Su Yuan smiled and said: "Surrender to death is not an option. Our Bei'an Army never sends soldiers to death, even if it is to surrender troops to the enemy. You have never done this before. You masters of Jianghu sect have martial arts skills. Your body is very precious, and it is impossible to waste it easily."

Furukawa nodded: "Since the prince said so, the old man can rest assured."

"Well, after the old man goes back, he can organize a group of people to come to Beijing. I may use it here. If you don't want to come, you can stay in Mozhou, but you have to report to the local yamen. Only report, log in After that, he can be officially counted as a member of the Bei'an Army and can receive regular military pay."

Hearing the words, Furukawa understood in his heart that after reporting, the warriors would be on the roster of the Bei'an Army, and if they were on the roster, they would definitely fail to regret it.

But for many warriors, that's what they want.Many of them have already inquired clearly that the military pay of the Bei'an Army is very good, and they never default on it. With this money, they don't have to train every day like ordinary soldiers, which is naturally a good thing.

Of course, not having to train is one thing, and they can't refuse when they are needed. This is also the default rule.

Gu He said: "These old people understand."

After Gu He left, Su Yuan thought, not only the rivers and lakes in Mozhou, but also Qingzhou, the capital side, and Qinzhou, Xuzhou after that. He also wants to make them use for himself.

If these sects can be incorporated into the Bei'an Army, then so many masters of the rivers and lakes will undoubtedly play a huge role in future wars, and the effect may not be inferior to summoning soldiers.

"However, if this continues, the decline of Jianghu is also a trend..."

Su Yuan couldn't help feeling emotional when he thought of Gu He's words.If everything is stabilized in the future, will martial arts really be useful?Maybe it will gradually be lost and become some flashy flower shelves.
