() The military exercise is undoubtedly very successful. I believe that as long as such weapons are not developed, other countries will not dare to easily invade Liangshan territory.

As soon as the exercise was over, Xiao Xian approached Zhu Wu and asked to buy some of these cannons. The price was not a problem, of course, for the sake of allies, the cheaper the better.

Song Qingchao instructed Zhu Wu to sell it to him. It is not expensive, and the base price is 10 taels of silver.

Of course Zhu Wu couldn't agree to Xiao Xian so easily, first he rejected him on the grounds of military secrets, and then pretended that he couldn't stand his pleading, and promised to help him find a way.

Xiao Xian would also come to trouble, and secretly gave Zhu Wu 2000 taels of silver notes.

Zhu Wu would never dare to accept this kind of money, but in order to confuse Xiao Xian, he happily accepted it, then handed it over to Chai Jin, and entered the treasury.

In the end, Zhu Wu sold ten doors to Xiao Xian at a price of 12 taels each. Because Xiao Xian did not bring so many bank notes, Zhu Wu told him that he must get the bank notes as soon as possible, otherwise Liang Wang might raise the price.

So Xiao Xian went back in a hurry to prepare the money.

Wanyan Zonghan and Tuoba Yifang both wanted to buy it, and Song Qing didn't want to sell it to them, but in the current state of hostility, the two of them wisely didn't open their mouths.However, they have secretly memorized the pattern of the cannon, so they can find someone to imitate it when they go back.

Contrary to Wanyan Zonghan's expectation, Song Qing offered to give them artillery, and there was only one condition, Yanyun Sixteen States.

This condition made Wanyan Zonghan very embarrassed. He really wanted artillery, but he didn't have the right to exchange the city.So tell Song Qing that he can't decide this matter, he must go back and ask the emperor for instructions.

Song Qing didn't expect him to agree, but just needed him to send a message to his father-in-law.

It’s not that no one has reminded Song Qing not to reveal the secrets of the artillery, but he just laughed it off, because not only the Liangshan Military Supervision has produced a conical warhead with a longer range, but also the steel of the artillery itself is not so easy to forge of.The military inspector also integrated the Japanese forging technology to break through this technical problem, so it is not so easy to imitate.

With the departure of envoys from various countries, the hustle and bustle of Liangshan River calmed down again.

From the expressions of the envoys from various countries before leaving, Song Qing could see that he could do other things.

As the situation in Hebei gradually stabilized, many refugees who fled to Shandong began to return home one after another.When these people went back, the local Shandong officials prepared grain seeds for them according to the orders issued by Song and Qing, so that they could produce in time to save themselves when they went back.

<Plowing.

If all goes well, I believe that after this year's autumn harvest, there will be no more hungry people in Hebei, and the people will not wander around when they are full. This will take a solid step for stable development.

Leaving the damselflies on vacation in Liangshan, Song Qing came to Luoyang.

Before entering the city, Song Qing fell in love with it. Not to mention the steep terrain around, the majestic momentum of this city alone is enough to make people daunting. It is worthy of being a place that can be favored by more than 100 emperors in the past.

Moreover, the Jin soldiers invaded twice, and the flames of war did not spread here, so the various infrastructures inside and outside the city remained very intact.

Chen Dong and Shi Xiu went out of the city to meet Song Qing.It can be seen that the two feel good about being an official here, especially Chen Dong who knows that Song Qing will choose this place as the capital.

According to Song Qing's instructions, when Chen Dong came to Luoyang to take office, he did not bring any officials from Kaifeng with him, and after taking charge of Luoyang, he also abolished many officials who were vacant and did not seek to govern.Promote some down-to-earth young people with no background.

It can be said that Luoyang's officialdom is now a vibrant scene, and its efficiency has improved, and of course it has won the support of more people.

Chen Dong now has a deep understanding of Song Qing's original decision-making, and knows that if Song Qing hadn't reminded him in time, he might become like those corrupt officials in the Song court and be eventually abandoned by Song Qing.

Since Song Qing led Liangshan troops to save the court from danger several times, the people in Luoyang felt that there was something wrong with Song Qing opening a government here.

As for the old master Chen who was hostile to Song Qing, I am afraid that even the ashes cannot be found.

Of course, Song Qing came to Luoyang with the idea of ​​inspecting here, and at the same time, he also wanted to discuss a major matter with Chen Dong.

With the continuous expansion of the territory, Song Qing felt more and more the shortage of talents.The most important thing he has now is elite soldiers who can charge and fight, especially Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, who are all handsome talents, so there is nothing to worry about in this regard.

But fighting wars and governing the region are two different things. Many of the occupied areas are still using the original officials of the Song Dynasty. Although they have no courage to rebel, many of their methods of doing things still follow the Song Dynasty.

The Northern Song Dynasty was rotten to the core, and local officials were the cornerstone of a regime. Song Qing did not want his regime to be built on such a group of cornerstones, so the selection of new officials was imminent.

It's just that Song Qing is not very good at how to choose officials. He used to always talk about recruiting talents, but he has increasingly realized that the demand for talents is a long-term matter, and a complete system must be in place.

Luoyang was once designated as Xijing by the Northern Song Dynasty, so there is also an imperial palace here.But with Song Qing's current status, it is obvious that he cannot live in it.

Chen Dong and others first accompanied Song Qing to visit the places of interest in Luoyang, and then went to see the new palace under construction.

Song Qing was still very satisfied with the project Li Yun built. This time he didn't criticize Li Yun again. This kid's idea is too righteous. If he said it, he didn't say it. He can do whatever he wants!

After dinner, Song Qing left Chen Dong alone, and told him his thoughts, and at the same time wanted to hear Chen Dong's opinion.

Chen Dong came from the highest school in Song Dynasty, so he is naturally better than Song Qing in this respect.Song Qing didn't know that when Song Huizong was in power, he canceled the scientific examination and selected outstanding officials from the Taixue.

Chen Dong pondered for a moment before saying: "Actually, I don't agree that all officials are selected from Taixue, which is easy to lose talents. Therefore, I suggest that the scientific examination should be resumed, and talents from all over the world should be gathered so that more talents can be used by the king."

Song Qing nodded and said, "I'm not good at this. You should first come up with a charter for your etheric model, and then let Junshi Wu take charge of this matter."

After a pause, he continued: "I've been thinking about one thing recently. After the war in Hebei, many things have been abandoned. I want to first order people to set up village schools and county schools in various places, so that children from poor families can learn more. They can all have books to read, and then select the outstanding ones among these children and send them to government schools and state schools to receive more education. The government will be fully responsible for the expenses. Of course, this is just my idea. need you to plan"

Chen Dong was a little surprised that a person who was born as a bandit could pay so much attention to education, especially when Song Qing emphasized that poor children could receive education, which made Chen Dong even more impressed.

This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people.Chen Dong couldn't help standing up and saluted Song Qingshen: "My lord's move is of far-reaching significance. I thank you on behalf of the poor people in the world."

In fact, the school has existed for a long time, and it was not a pioneering work in the Song and Qing Dynasties. However, throughout the dynasties, educational resources have been in the hands of the nobles. It is good for children from poor families to enter private schools to read a few words, let alone receive more education. .

Chen Dong is a person who is well aware of this disadvantage, but as a person who was trained by Taixue and belongs to the aristocratic class, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so he never cared about it until Song Qing brought it up.

Song Qing smiled and asked him to sit down, and then said: "Let the poor children have books to read, this is just the beginning, the next step I plan to set up public hospitals in various places, and treat those people who can't afford medical treatment for free."

Public hospital?Also free medical treatment for the people?

Chen Dong couldn't keep up with Song Qing's advanced ideas. He knew that this move was also for the benefit of the people, but in this way, how much expenditure would the government have to bear?Opening schools at all levels already requires countless silver taels. If a public medical center is to be opened, will the government be able to afford it?

Couldn't help but said: "Wang Ye's move is good, but is it a little too hasty?"

"It's really not the time yet, but I have already discussed with Doctor An to let him open a school in Luoyang that specializes in teaching medical skills and train talents in this field for future use. In this matter, you have to Open the door wide open for him”

"My lord, please don't worry, I will do my best to help An Shen doctor."

The next day, the Luoyang government office issued an edict in the name of King Liang to the state capitals under Liangshan's control.Vigorously promote village school and county school.Compulsory education is implemented for children from poor families, and all expenses are borne by the government.Liang Wang will separately allocate funds from various taxes to compensate the local governments.

After the restoration of universities at all levels, Luoyang will reopen the imperial examination next year to select talents for the country.

At the same time as this imperial edict, there was also a document about the establishment of a medical school in Luoyang, and it was widely recruiting talents who were interested in medicine to come to study.

When these two edicts came out, it can be said that the whole country was shocked.

The Great Song Dynasty is now in decline, and anyone can see this, but many people are not optimistic about Song Qing. Where can a person who was born as a bandit be successful?

But through these two edicts, everyone's impression of Song Qing was greatly changed.Teaching and educating people, medical skills to save people, and mainly targeting the poor people, what kind of mind and vision do you have to make a decision?

The imperial examination system has existed since ancient times, and it was abolished by the Supreme Emperor, who has long since disappeared.Now that this system has been restored, many people who study hard in the cold window celebrate with each other.

For a while, the prestige of Liang Wang Songqing soared to an unprecedented height, and he was gradually recognized by the common people in Hebei, especially in Shandong. Rong.

Song Qing didn't expect this decision to have such a big effect. Instead, through this incident, he felt that his small court still had great flaws.
