    Wu Meiniang¡¯s strength is that she will not be bound by morality. In order to achieve her goals, she does not mind using extraordinary means, even if such means will be criticized.  But as a politician, what she has to do is not to be a moral role model, but to be a person who can bring benefits to her group so that they can ally with her.

    So when Yunyao said that the Tang Dynasty should first upgrade its industries, and then drive the small countries at the east and west ends to upgrade their industries, what she thought of was to use involution to kill the small countries.

    But Yunyao knew that it would be useless for a small country to be swept to death, because new forces would soon emerge.  As long as all regions cannot be integrated into one country, the small country can continue to be reborn from the ashes and will not die at all.

    For example, after the destruction of Goguryeo, there was also the Balhae Kingdom. After the Balhae Kingdom, there were Goryeo, Silla, and Baekje, and then there was the Jurchen Kingdom of Jin. Anyway, for those places, it was commonplace for one or two countries to be killed.  If it dies, a new small country will rise soon.

    At the same time, it would not be of any benefit to the Tang Dynasty to involve small countries. On the contrary, it would lack a market.

    Wu Meiniang¡¯s thinking is too traditional and believes that killing him directly is the most efficient method. In fact, what is really important is to allow Datang to continue to develop.  Yunyao did not continue this topic. After all, it takes time for human thinking to adapt to the new environment.  Let¡¯s continue talking about the details of industrial upgrading.

    Industrial upgrading covers all aspects, which all require money, so Yunyao plans to set a small goal first, establish a new discipline in the Imperial College, and revive various schools of thought.

    Now Buddhism and Taoism are the mainstream, and Taoism is more popular among nobles, such as cultivating immortality and refining elixirs.  The scope of Western religion is wider. From nobles to common people, everyone can play. The nobles sit in meditation and the common people worship Buddha. Anyway, they all have a chance to become Buddhas.

    Of course, Western religions are currently mainly believed by northern aristocrats, so there are more practice methods in the north that involve sitting in meditation and gradually pausing.  In the future, enlightenment practice will appear in the south, and more and more common people will believe in Buddhism.

    The difference between sudden enlightenment and gradual enlightenment is that gradual enlightenment requires time and energy to sit in meditation, and precepts, concentration, and wisdom are the means to produce concentration through precepts, and wisdom through concentration.

    And sudden enlightenment is no longer needed, because in their view concentration is wisdom, and wisdom is concentration.  We usually eat and sleep, but if one day we suddenly attain samadhi, we will directly gain Prajna wisdom, and we don¡¯t need to spend time completing the process of 'meditation'.

    Precepts are precepts, which means not allowing this or that; concentration means meditation, which means sitting in meditation; wisdom means wisdom. As long as you master the wisdom of Prajna, you can go to the other shore and escape from the sea of ??suffering.

    Northern and Western teachings on precepts, concentration, and wisdom are three processes, and you must do them all well to gain the final wisdom.  But how can workers without money have time to sit for hours at a time?  Therefore, the emergence of enlightenment caters to the vast number of workers who aspire to become Buddhas.

    Taoist alchemy and immortality are naturally played by nobles. After all, alchemy requires costs. Workers can't even drink hot water, so how can they have money to make elixirs.

    As for Confucianism, after experiencing the attack of metaphysics, it failed to recover in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Although the content of the study was still Confucian classics, there was no performance after learning. Everyone still talked about metaphysics and Buddhism, and talked about alchemy and meditation. Basically no one would  Confucian ritual and music flaunt themselves.

    No one even studies Confucianism, let alone various schools of thought.

    It was not until later that Confucianism began to learn from Western teachings and compile genealogy, from Confucius on down, that the Confucian school had a systematic inheritance and began to fight against Western religions.  Of course, by then the theory put forward by Yunyao that everyone can become a saint and everyone can become a gentleman will definitely exert great power.

    Wu Meiniang listened to Yunyao's small target and thought it made sense to start with the Imperial College first. After all, she saved money and could control the mouthpiece of the court.  She couldn't help but secretly rejoice, thinking that it was indeed right to jump from the emperor's car to the princess's car. The princess's ambition was so great that there might be a female emperor in the Tang Dynasty in the future.  She felt that Yunyao had the possibility of becoming emperor, and she might be able to be a female prime minister by then.

    ¡°Obviously Wu Meiniang¡¯s courage is not big enough, and her imagination is not strong enough.

    "Is that why the princess collects books from the private sector and sorts them out to transform the Imperial College?"

    "Not only is it necessary to renovate the Imperial College, but I also want to compile a book called "The Complete Book of Hundreds of Schools", from easy to difficult, maybe it can be used as a textbook for the imperial examination." The imperial examination is not yet formal. Although there are many subjects, the examination content  But it is very jumpy, and the test questions are not standard, and it is a test of talent and learning.  It is not conducive to getting more people to join the ranks of the imperial examinations, so everyone must know what to study in the imperial examinations so that more students can have the right goals.

    "Are you willing to revise this book?"

    Wu Meiniang did not expect that the princess would give her such a precious opportunity. If this book could be completed, she would be able to leave her name in history.  As a woman, I can cultivate a certain skill"The Complete Book of Hundreds of Masters" What an honor this is?  Once the book is completed, its influence may expand to the entire Tang Dynasty, and there is no reason to refuse.  "Don't dare to disobey me." She is a straightforward person, and her heart beats her actions, so she decisively agreed.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave it to you.¡±

    After accepting the order, Wu Meiniang immediately made a suggestion and said: "Your Highness, it is better to change the "Quanshu of Baijia" to "Quanshu of Zhuzi". I think this name is better."

    Although they are all taken from hundreds of schools of thought, it is obvious that "The Complete Book of Zhuzi" is more high-end and classy.

    But Yunyao doesn't need to be high-end, she just wants to be down-to-earth, so she said: "The reason why it is "The Complete Book of Hundreds of Schools" is not only because it represents the contention and contention of hundreds of schools of thought, but also because I hope that this set of books can reach the common people.  Even a farmer can ascend to the imperial court through this set of books."

    "Your Highness has the Tang Dynasty in mind, and his thoughts are as broad as mine." After hearing the princess's grand goal, Wu Meiniang resigned herself to defeat.

    Printing technology has been developed by Yunyao. In the future, in the Tang Dynasty, not only Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Du Fu, etc. will be able to leave famous works through the ages, but there will definitely be many buried Tang people who can also print their masterpieces through printing technology.  passed on to future generations.

    The popularity of Tang poetry is due to the maturity of woodblock printing. Now Yunyao has invented more powerful movable type printing, and has injected vitality into the entire publishing and printing industry through newspapers. Now there will be more poets leaving their mark in the Tang Dynasty.  With his works, this era of poetry must have become even more fascinating.

    After leaving Chang'an and moving to the county, Li Chengqian didn't feel that the Tang Dynasty was an era of poetry at all, because the environment in the county was really too hard. He still felt the hardship even before he went to the poorest county.  There is no food, drink, or clothing. Anyway, this is not possible and that is not possible. It is even difficult to move a carriage or horse.

    Although I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked by the harsh environment. This was still in the county. I didn¡¯t go to the countryside or villages. I really didn¡¯t know what the world would be like.

    But now that he is here, Li Chengqian must make great achievements, but he cannot let the emperor's brother surpass him.  First of all, we should consider water conservancy and transportation. Without these two items, there is no development at all.

    Of course it is good to repair water conservancy and transportation. There are many areas in the county that need to be repaired. Where to start and how to repair it all requires money. Even if the labor can be regarded as corvee, it is okay to repair the city wall. It really needs to be done one by one in each village.  I'm afraid water conservancy is not that easy.

    Everyone knows that we need to build water conservancy projects and improve transportation, but knowing that doesn¡¯t mean we can do it.
