Song Yi

Chapter 424 Three Imperial Edicts
Gao Taotao said: "You told me before that there are various disadvantages of civil servants leading troops, and that one of the reasons why my Song Dynasty has been defeated repeatedly is that civilian officials lead troops. I have heard many ministers say this before. Actually, speaking from the bottom of my heart, I also feel that it is not appropriate for civil servants to lead troops. Civil servants Anbang, military generals rule the country. Marching and fighting is completely different from dancing and writing. I have never led soldiers, and I don’t know the art of war. It’s like a farmer who went to a private school asking him to write and paint with a pen, so can he write good calligraphy and draw good pictures?”

Du Wenhao was overwhelmed with surprises, hugged Gao Taotao, rolled over on the soft couch, pressed her down and gave her a deep kiss, and praised: "You are so Taotao, you are so understanding of righteousness, this time you are really far-sighted, the country has you like this It is indeed a matter of great fortune to the entire army, soldiers and common people."

"Okay," Gao Taotao said coquettishly, "Stop saying such flattering things in front of me, there's no need for it!"

"To be honest, I'm really not flattering this time, I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart. It's not surprising that ordinary people have such views, but as the supreme leader of the country, with this insight, my Song Dynasty really has great hope!"

Gao Taotao sighed: "That's what I thought, but the law of the ancestors is immutable, and the precepts of the ancestors are hard to break."

"Ancestral precepts are dead, but people are alive. The times are changing. We should not follow the old ways, and we must adjust the rules and regulations at any time with the development of the times. This is called 'advancing with the times'!"

Gao Tao burst out laughing: "Where do you hear such words? It's still a set."

"That's what it is. However, changes can be made step by step, and you can't rush for success. For example, the system of civil servants leading troops, you yourself think it is inappropriate. Practice has proved that this system is one of the main reasons for our repeated defeats. Of course, it should be changed. It’s just that since this kind of thinking has been deeply ingrained in the minds of ministers, we should be more cautious.”

"Well..., what you said makes sense, how do you think it should be changed?"

Du Wenhao thought for a while, and said: "The method you used earlier is very good. First, increase the power of the general in the leadership. As long as there is no emergency situation, if the military general and deputy commander disagree with the combat plan, the civilian commander will not be able to implement it." , It must be reported to the imperial court for a decision, although this may delay some battle opportunities, but it can reduce the chance of losing the battle from the system."

This method was originally a special discount for Du Wenhao. After hearing him say that this system is good and can be promoted, he thought about it for a while and said: "I don't know if this will work, or else, let's see first." I'll make a decision on how the effect will be this time, okay?"

Facts speak louder than words. After all, this involves modifying the ancestral precepts. If the effect cannot be seen, Gao Taotao will not agree.Du Wenfangka naturally understood this, kissed her, and said, "Okay. Actually, I don't know if this will work, but practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. Any change can only be known if it is effective after it is implemented." It is as good as expected. It can only be better if it is gradually revised and improved in practice."

"Well, by the way, I heard that you went to teach the emperor and them at noon?"

"Yes. Didn't you let me take charge of the emperor's studies?"

"Yes, I was in a hurry last night and forgot about it. I think you know a lot of things that they don't know, and you have a lot of unique creations. Although I don't want the emperor to reform in the future, I also I don’t want the emperor to become a conservative person. So I let you take charge of the emperor’s studies. Sooner or later, the emperor will be in charge, and I hope you can teach him to be a capable emperor.”

"I will try my best. However, the emperor is quite naughty, and I am too strict. Don't feel bad."

"Strict teachers produce excellent apprentices. Don't worry, just let him teach. If he is not obedient, you can come and tell me."

"Ok."

The two made out again, and seeing that it was getting dark, Du Wenhao left the palace and rode back to Wuweitang.

Seeing him coming back, all the girls crowded around chattering, Ke Yao spoke the fastest, and said excitedly: "Brother, the mansion that the Empress Dowager is going to give us is so big, we walked around and spent a whole lot of money. An hour!"

Xue Fei'er also said: "That's right, there are carved beams and painted buildings inside, strange mountains and strange stones, and the craftsmanship is amazing."

Du Wenhao smiled: "Of course, this mansion was originally intended for King Yong, so it is naturally super luxurious. Just as long as you are satisfied."

Pang Yuqin also said: "Very satisfied, I can't find anything to modify. Hee hee"

"When will it be finished?"

"The empress dowager has ordered them to work overtime day and night to catch up with the progress, and it will be done in about half a month. We can't delay the wedding ceremony."

Du Wenhao was a little embarrassed: "Hey, are you in the new residence?"

"Of course, it's good that the new mansion welcomes the bride."

Yingzi said: "Young Master, on the way back Ma'am, she said that Young Master is going to lead troops now, and you can't do without reading military books. So I went to the bookstore of the Martial Arts Academy to buy military books for you. The Martial Academy came here after hearing the news. , personally helped you choose a lot of military books."

Du Wenhao said happily: "Great, where is the book of war?"

"It's all in the study."

"It's just right, I'm going to officially go to the army tomorrow to investigate the military situation. Hurry up and take a look now, and it's okay to grind your guns before the battle."

When Du Wenhao came to the study, he really added a new bookshelf, which was full of military books.

Du Wenhao took a copy and sat down to read it.These military books are all written in ancient Chinese, and it is very difficult to read, and there are many parts that I still can't understand. After reading it for half an hour, I feel dizzy.

He put down the military book, closed his eyes and meditated, recalling for a while, but he didn't have any impression of what he read just now, and he couldn't remember what it was about.Sighing: "Oh, it would be great if there was a teacher to explain it. It seems that we need to find a teacher of the art of war."

Tomorrow he was going to give a lecture to the emperor, so Du Wenhao decided to sort out his thoughts, but he couldn't think of where to talk.

However, the most urgent task now is not the issue of training the Pope. As the saying goes, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. If you want to train the Emperor to be a person that suits your ideals, it is not as quick as configuring a puppet. Companion to the king is like a tiger, and the tiger will eat it back There are too many breeders who have been lost, so I have to be careful, it is good to be able to train the little emperor well, if not, take decisive measures to abolish it, and establish another puppet little emperor.And the latter needs to be supported by strength.Therefore, the most urgent task is to cultivate a team of our own, a team that can win battles.

Du Wenhao decided to focus on the reform and construction of the army, and put the lectures to the emperor on a secondary level. He only taught once every five days, and once for half a day.This is also in line with the wishes of the ministers of the DPRK and China.

That being the case, there is no rush to sort out all the modern knowledge to teach the little emperor, just choose the general interesting knowledge and teach him, and the practical modern scientific knowledge will be discussed later depending on the situation.

After some pondering, he made a simple outline of the modern knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry and astronomy and geography that he had learned, and determined the sequence of lectures.Even though it was just an outline, I was busy until late at night.

After tidying up, Du Wenhao went to bed. This night, Xue Fei'er was serving the bed. After the two of them had a passionate relationship, Xue Fei'er had no heart and soon fell asleep, but Du Wenhao's head was full of Turning rivers and seas generally cannot calm down.

The wheel of history is now under my control. How should I steer this cart so that it will not fall under the iron hooves of the Dajin Kingdom 40 years later? It was like looking at an old man who was sick all over his body and was almost dying of illness. Du Wenhao really didn't know where to start to treat him.

After thinking about it, I became drowsy, and I fell asleep when the cock crowed for the first time.

The next day, after Du Wenhao got up, washed and had breakfast, the concierge rushed in to report that the Empress Dowager had arrived and asked Du Wenhao to receive the order.

Du Wenhao hurriedly set up the incense table, and it was naturally Eunuch Cao, the Empress Dowager's personal servant, who came to announce the decree.There were three imperial decrees in a row, the contents of which Du Wenhao already knew, and they were respectively appointing him as the envoy to conquer Xixia.Fifty thousand forbidden troops were mobilized from the six roads in Shaanxi to conquer Xixia.At the same time, Lu Gongzhu was appointed as the deployment of the former enemy capital, and general Qu Zhen was deployed as the deployment of Fudu.

In the other two imperial decrees, Du Wenhao was appointed to be promoted to the Imperial Medical Bureau and a mansion was granted.Later, Eunuch Jiao told Du Wenhao that the Empress Dowager had issued an edict to the world to confirm that Du Wenhao's "Wuweitang" was a time-honored brand, and that the medicines and medical equipment produced under this brand were not allowed to be counterfeited by others. Punishment for robbery.

Du Wenhao was taken aback when he heard that, the protection of intellectual property rights in this decree is much stronger than that in modern society.According to my country's current criminal law, the maximum penalty for infringement of intellectual property rights is seven years in prison.However, Gao Taotao issued this decree saying that those who infringe Du Wenhao's "Wuweitang" trademark patent will be punished like robbery.The crime of robbery is similar to the crime of robbery in modern times. In the Song Dynasty, the punishment for the crime of robbery was very heavy. It was stipulated that "the robber will be executed regardless of whether he holds a stick or not, regardless of whether he has stolen goods or not." That is to say, as long as someone dares to fake the name of Wuweitang Those who produce medicine and medical equipment shall be executed!
Of course Du Wenhao knew that this was not due to the empress dowager Gao Taotao's protection of the advanced awareness of intellectual property rights, but because of his feelings for himself, his love for the house and black people.I feel that the punishment is a bit heavy, but this is good, at least let the world pay attention to the protection of intellectual property rights, and it can make a good start for the protection of civil rights.

After Du Wenhao received the order, Duke Jiao announced his resignation.Du Wenhao decided to go to the grassroots to investigate the mistakes first, and then go to the palace to teach the emperor in the afternoon.

Yingzi and Xuefei'er helped Du Wenhao put on the military uniform, looked down, and felt that his attire was not bad, because it was not in wartime, so the armor of the military uniform was made of leather, and it didn't feel heavy to wear.According to Du Wenhao's instructions yesterday, Xu Huaqiang, the captain of the guards, prepared a war horse. Du Wenhao flew on the horse, shook the reins, and was about to start when he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He stopped and thought about it, then turned to ask Xu Huaqiang: "Should I have a long gun or a machete or something? That's the only way to go with it?"
