Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 179: Lack of Talent

"What's up?"

Chang Wei was full of doubts.

"Military school." Zhao Xu said, "Now you should understand the importance of this matter. If I don't teach you, you won't know it. In the same way, generals don't cherish their own experience, but share it with others. Other generals can promote the progress of the entire army."

For him, he hates the current trend of singing.

From the powerful people to the common people, they all like to hide and hide the things in their stomachs.

Among them, the powerful families, for the purpose of safeguarding their own interests, did not spread books on the art of war, water conservancy, astronomy, geography, etc.

And folk craftsmen also do the same with their skills.

There are even many standards for accepting disciples.

If you can't accept a disciple, you would even rather let this skill die.

This resulted in the loss of many skills.

Of course, whether he likes it or not, this is the characteristic of an era and he is powerless to change it.

However, in his territory, his army, and his officialdom, this situation would never be allowed to exist.

Excellent experiences should be learned from and passed on to each other.

Chang Wei understood and almost lost his mind.

However, he had long been accustomed to King Yan's unconstrained speaking style.

After a long quarrel, it turned out that King Yan wanted to use the artillery incident to talk about the military high school.

"I don't dare to neglect His Highness's instructions, but Your Highness, there are really very few literate generals in the army. The generals are not very interested, and it is difficult for the General to handle it." Chang Wei had a sad face.

He told the generals when he came back from the academy, but these gangsters were not interested at all.

The implication is that the more you fight in battles, the more experienced you will be. There is no need for any school at all.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he frowned immediately.

The biggest difference between the ancient army and the modern army is actually not the weapons, but more professional military literacy and discipline.

This requires generals to generally receive formal military education.

Especially artillery generals.

Artillery can't just be fired in any direction. It is necessary to calculate the approximate impact point of the cannonball based on the angle of the muzzle, so that it can be fired accurately.

To calculate the drop point, you need to master basic mathematics.

Although he could calculate for them the approximate position that the specific angle could reach, he could make a booklet and give it to them.

But they also have to master how to measure angles.

"Whether you like it or not, they have to go to this school, and they also have to take exams. Don't think that just because they sit in their current position, they will be in trouble. If they don't do well in the exams, they will still have to pass."

Looking at the general peeking over at the school grounds, Zhao Xu said to Chang Wei.

What he is thinking about now is not just praising food abuse.

If we are just dealing with enemies such as Yuan Li and Beidi, the artillery does not need to be too accurate. We can just hit the enemy formation.

But in the future, when facing enemies who also have artillery, accuracy will have to be considered.

Because the enemy's artillery can definitely cause casualties to oneself.

At this time, the war is required to start, and our artillery must destroy the enemy's artillery as soon as possible.

There is no doubt that whoever hits it accurately will have a greater advantage.

"As for illiteracy, it's easy. Just recruit some scholars to serve in the school and be responsible for teaching literacy and educating soldiers." Zhao Xu said.

There are actually civilians in the Dasong Army.

After all, generals are good at fighting but not good at housekeeping.

Therefore, every Dasong army has the position of secretary-general.

Specially responsible for handling military Chinese documents.

"Yes, Your Highness, these generals should learn something, otherwise they will drink and cause trouble all day long." Chang Wei felt nervous when he saw Zhao Xu's serious face and a little angry.

During these days with King Yan, King Yan always came up with something that they thought was very different.

But it turns out that King Yan is always right.

Therefore, he believed that this matter must be correct, but he was short-sighted and could not see it for the time being.

"Well, that's good. You will implement this matter in the next few days. First, generals such as captain and above will choose a room as a school in the general's mansion. It is your responsibility to choose a room in each battalion. The barracks serve as a battalion school, and each battalion captain is responsible for it. At the same time, each team has to discuss their training experiences in the evening after training every day." Zhao Xu explained one by one.

Chang Wei nodded and silently kept it in mind.

After instructing this matter, Zhao Xu said to Chang Wei: "When the school is built, I will personally teach you things."

"Really?" Chang Wei's eyes suddenly lit up.

He was looking forward to this very much, because he knew that King Yan would definitely teach them something different.

These things cannot be learned in other armies of Dasong.

Giving Chang Wei an affirmative look, Zhao Xu nodded again.

After inspecting the camp, he and Xu Lie returned to the palace.

On the way, he frowned slightly.

Although it is necessary to recruit some scholars to serve as civil servants in the army to strengthen the palace's control over the army.

But Liu Fu's government office also needed scholars to serve as officials.

These two items combined require quite a few people.

But in Dasong, there are very few people from poor families who can read like Liu Fu.

If we search Shanggu County and Yan County again, we may not be able to find a sufficient number.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but scratch his head.

"It is necessary to establish an official school." Zhao Xu said thoughtfully.

In Dasong, the Imperial College, which represents the official academy, was prepared for the children of powerful families.

But the official school and the Imperial College he was talking about were completely different things.

The official school in his fiefdom refers to a place where the royal family provided money to establish it, completely free of charge, and recruited people's children to study.

After all, it is unrealistic to promote universal education in his territory.

Firstly, he does not have such strong capital, secondly, the people are not very active in reading, and thirdly, there are not so many scholars to teach.

Therefore, he wanted to develop in a comprehensive way.

First concentrate on cultivating a group of people.

Then let these people go to various places in the territory, either to teach, or to join the War Department to assist in research and development.

But this takes time.

At the moment we have to solve practical problems and recruit a group of scholars.

"Mi family." A person suddenly flashed in Zhao Xu's mind.

This man is Mi Fei's father, his maternal grandfather Mi Zhuang.

Although his mother came from a poor family, all of her family were scholars.

After his mother was promoted to a noble person, Zhao Heng specially gave him a minor official position.

However, he was framed last year and his grandfather and uncle's family were all imprisoned.

Concubine Mi mentioned in her letter last time that after he was promoted to concubine, Zhao Heng released Mi Zhuang and his uncle's family from prison.

They should be free now.

"Before Concubine Mi entered the palace, Mi Zhuang had been teaching reading to the children of poor families, and many people worshiped him as their teacher." Zhao Xu found this information.

For him, this is a great resource right now.

And relatively speaking, Mi Zhuang and his students are more reliable.

After all, if scholars are recruited from other states, there is no guarantee that they will not be mixed into the work.

Think of this.

After returning to the palace, he wrote a letter to Concubine Mi.

"Your Highness has found the right person this time. Mi Guozhan is full of talents, but it's a pity..." Luan'er sighed while grinding Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu knew what Luan'er wanted to say. Even if the world was filled with peaches and plums, these poor scholars could only be officials without official positions at most.

"You and Feng'er have stayed at Mi's house for several years. What do you think?" Zhao Xu asked.

Luan'er and Feng'er were taken in by Mi Zhuang before entering the palace.

Later, he was sent to the palace to accompany Concubine Mi, and was sent to take care of Zhao Xu by Concubine Mi.

"My servant only remembers that Mi Guo was serious about his words during the war, but he was always upright. If my uncle made a mistake, he would be punished. At that time, scholars who came to Mi's house often interceded with his uncle." Luan'er couldn't help laughing when she said this. .

Zhao Xu was stunned. He had seen this uncle before and had some impressions.

Every time Concubine Mi came to visit the bride, this uncle would always burst into tears.

Shaking his head, Zhao Xu finished the letter in one breath and sent it to the capital.

If he could recruit some useful people this time, his efforts would not be in vain.

"Your Highness, there is a girl outside the house asking to see you." Just as he put down his pen, Feng'er suddenly appeared at the door of the study.

"girl?"

Zhao Xu glanced at Feng'er and saw a strange smile on this girl's face.

"That's Miss Xu whom I met while eating hot pot." Feng'er said leisurely.

Zhao Xu was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Xu E to come to the palace. This was the first time.

But now the rumors about him and Xu E have gone out of style in Yancheng.

Everyone agreed that Xu E was his, which made him helpless. Their relationship was really pure.

"Let her come in." Zhao Xu said, he and Tianxiang Tower still have a cooperative relationship.

You can't ignore people who come to your door.

Feng'er responded and turned around to go to the front yard.

At this time, Xu E got off the carriage at the door of the palace and stood at the door, looking curiously at the palace.

Seeing Feng'er's figure appear, she immediately withdrew her gaze and straightened her posture.

She had experienced the power of Feng'er and didn't want to lose in terms of momentum.

"Miss Xu, please." Feng'er looked at Xu E and deliberately straightened her body, quite a bit of a show of beauty.

To her, the woman that King Yan liked could not be inferior to her and Luan'er.

Xu E nodded lightly, thanked her, and entered the palace with Huan'er.

"What kind of wind brought Miss Xu here?"

Living room.

Zhao Xu sat down at the main seat with a smile on his face.

Now both Yan County and Shanggu County are on the right track.

The production of artillery and the development of commerce are also proceeding step by step.

He was in a good mood.

Facing the beauty Xu E, he also made witty remarks.

"Of course it's His Majesty's kingly style." Xu E's eyes were captivating.

Zhao Xu smiled, this Xu E was really teasing him all the time.

Although he knew that the Ninth Prince had saved Xu E's life.

Perhaps she felt vague admiration out of gratitude.

But until he understands the true nature of Tianxiang Tower, he will keep his distance.

Xu E was innocent, but he couldn't tell what the person behind her was thinking when she fell to the ground.

However, facing Xu E, he, a gentleman, naturally had no reason to be stage frightened. He looked at Xu E boldly and said, "Miss Xu, please stop teasing me. There must be something important when Miss Xu comes to visit, right?"

"I really can't hide anything from Your Highness." Xu E was slightly disappointed.
