    The changes here in Xuguo have the greatest impact on the surrounding countries. This impact is mainly in two aspects.  The first aspect is the most direct military threat. You have caused trouble at the border of Xu Kingdom. Now it is time to settle the score; and the second threat is the political policy. The political policy adopted by Xu Kingdom has caused panic and fear in surrounding countries. Nobles began to tremble, and businessmen began to tremble.  The civilians began to make preparations.  In the Song Dynasty, the king had begun to panic. When the Xu Kingdom rose at an unprecedented political speed, the old royal court, which had been fighting with the Dali royal court for hundreds of years, began to make all kinds of bad remarks.  Some nobles have begun to prepare to run away and are reorganizing their armies with courage, businessmen are making secret moves, and civilians are starting to get emotional The country is beginning to be in chaos!  Faced with these situations, the king of Song Dynasty was powerless, and politics began to get out of control.  The complete defeat of the Za family and the Li Zongfa family in the Xu Kingdom forced the two families to temporarily restrain themselves; the loss of 11 masters who shined together like the sun and the moon was earth-shattering. Even the war between the human race and the barbarians in the past two hundred years, the entire human race  The number of Sun Moon Tonghui masters who died was no more than twenty; and now 11 of them were lost in one conflict, let alone the Za family and the Li Zongfa family. Even if others heard about it, their hearts would tremble.  This is a master who shines brightly at the same time as the sun and the moon!  "And after the defeat of the Za family and the Li Zong Legal family, the Moh family will of course have to settle accounts with the king of the Song Dynasty. We spent so much effort to support your ancestors back then, and this is how you repay us!"  There is no need to say that all the accounts, debts, grudges and resentments should be settled.  In fact, with the comparison with Xu State, the Mohists were already very dissatisfied with the situation of Song State. The result of dissatisfaction was to give up!  "As a result, the Mo family gave the Song State an order. You should quickly pack up and surrender to the Xu State.  This can save your lives; if you wait until Xu Guo comes to attack, you still don't know what your fate will be.  These words really frightened the Song State; the Song State had been established for thousands of years and had lived a stable life under the protection of the Mohist family, which meant that it had lost its spirit.  In addition, after the messy experience some time ago, the Song Dynasty lost all its energy.  But after all, it has been passed down to the country for thousands of years, and it is very deep-rooted; so although it has lost its vigor.  But the Song Dynasty did not simply give up. Instead, they said they would consider it and put it off as long as possible.  In fact, the Song Dynasty also had an extravagant hope, hoping that the Za family and the Li Zongfa family could take action.  Although the Song Dynasty has always been inclined to the Mohist family and was itself a country supported by the Mohist family, when it comes to governance and so on, it is countless; no ruler likes to have someone looking after his head!  This is the case in the Song Dynasty.  Xiao Hao can also cooperate in this way, but in my country, you don¡¯t give me instructions.  It¡¯s just that Xiao Hao has this courage, but others may not!  All Xiao Hao implemented were New Deals, and even the Han Zong Legalists and Mohists had to learn from them honestly.  At the same time.  The Cai State in the north of the Xu State also began to panic; unlike the Song State, the Cai State was similar to the original Dali royal court; the Cai State and Dali were tied together to compete with the Song State.  Now the Song Dynasty is starting to lose its footing, let alone the Cai Kingdom.  It's just that the current Cai State is also riding a tiger and is unable to get off. Behind Cai State is the Li Zong Legal School, and Cai State itself is also supported by the Li Zong Legal School. It is a luxury to hope that there will be an honest surrender like the Song State.  On the contrary, the Chen State in the south of Xu State has always been relatively peaceful; not long after Xiao Hao's victory, the Chen State in the south sent their northern commander Nangong Zhi as an envoy to Xu State.  And prepare to participate in the founding ceremony of the Xu Kingdom as a representative of the Chen Kingdom.  Between Xuguo and Chenguo, there is a land full of mountains, forests, swamps and miasma, and only a few places are passable.  The relationship between the two parties is still very harmonious.  In addition, the newly born Xu Kingdom did not have much power, so the two parties coexisted peacefully.  However, Nangong Zhi is not just here to take a look, but to explore the customs and learn from Xuguo's new policy. It has shown great power, so the surrounding countries must have seen the crises and opportunities in it.  It's easy to understand.  When Nangong Zhi set foot on Xuguo¡¯s territory, Xiao Hao¡¯s soldiers had already completed the recovery of Baizhou in the north.  At this point, Xiao Hao and Xu Guo have completely taken over the territory that was originally occupied by Wang Ting; however, due to the transition between the old and the new and the war, the population has decreased by one-tenth in just two years!  Countless people are numb in this war.  In particular, the three northern states actually demoted almost all civilians into slaves openly.  Taking everything and begging for it, trampling on it wantonly.  I don¡¯t know how many families were broken up and cried to pieces; so much so that when the three northern states were completely stabilized and the trials began, countless nobles were eaten alive by the angry common people really eaten But these actions of Xu Guo are also  This frightened the surrounding countries, especially Song and Cai. The nobles suddenly realized that they knew how to treat slaves well, but they also began to beautify themselves and put gold foil on their faces.  And after a little rest and recuperation, Xu Guo actually began to send troops to conquer.??North and west; although the Xu Kingdom is relatively difficult now, it cannot allow the enemy to be adequately prepared, so it is inevitable to send troops, not to mention how many small tricks Haizhou has done behind the scenes. Civilians in many places  , businessmen were all instigated to rebel, waiting to strike back at the enemy at the critical moment.  Of course, Xiao Hao, who is too smart, will definitely not only have such a simple purpose, but also have a deeper and darker purpose.  Think about it, when every city occupied by Xiao Hao was the result of an uprising by civilians and merchants, what would the remaining nobles and kings think?  I have to say that Xiao Hao is very good at this skill. Although his political methods are still a bit rusty, he can still manipulate ordinary enemies with applause.  In fact, it goes without saying that the result is that after seeing a large number of civilians and businessmen revolting, these nobles and kings will basically use very drastic measures: control the civilians and detain the businessmen.  The consequence of this is that the country will be in complete chaos and rapidly fall into the bottomless abyss.  Without merchants to circulate wealth, the entire society would be in chaos.  At this moment, with the help of local civilians and businessmen, Xu Guo's army is simply in a deserted land. Those solid and thick city walls cannot stop the army because many civilians, low-level soldiers, or some are semi-threatened by businessmen (  The half-bribed soldiers will open the gate of the city and welcome the thieves!  at this time.  The power of wealth is also shown.  At some point, the powerful power of wealth is another kind of "magical power". Didn't it say that money can make ghosts go around!  At Yanzikou, Song Guoxiongguan, which had been at odds with the Dali royal court for hundreds of years, could not survive even three days.  So he opened the city gate and surrendered.  Afterwards, the army triumphed all the way. As soon as they reached a place, they would immediately open a granary to stockpile grain, which was not their own anyway. The soldiers of Xu State were very generous to others. They emptied the granaries one by one, leaving a certain amount of military rations.  All the noble bullies were detained.  Waiting for the later trial and investigation; those who dare to resist will be killed on the spot without any hesitation.  After that, some people organized local businessmen to temporarily lead and manage the government and stabilize the regime.  For the first time, they really came into contact with the management level, and the businessmen burst out with unprecedented passion.  Xiao Hao played a good card and used the power of the locals to conquer the local area!  All Xu Guo needs to dispatch is a spearhead team.  Those merchants who rebelled will definitely not rebel again no matter what, because they have no way to retreat and can only follow Xu Guo's path to darkness!  Under such a policy.  Xuguo's territory is expanding rapidly; when the New Year is approaching, Haizhou suddenly increases the area of ????two states again!  This miraculous expansion speed caused fear and panic in the surrounding area.  In this environment, the envoy from Chen State in the south came to Xishan Town respectfully.  Standing in the distance of Xishan Town, looking at the criss-crossing roads, looking at the bridges spanning the river canyons like rainbows, looking at the mighty caravans flowing, Nangong Zhi was a little crazy for a moment!  Although I have seen this kind of situation more than once, in almost every big city, I feel shocked every time I see it.  ??Especially here in Xuguo.  The most prosperous building I saw must be the school!  Here in Xuguo, schools are no longer the back gardens of a single school.  Hundreds of flowers bloom here, and even people from the Za family and Li Zongfa family give lectures here!  It is simply unimaginable that given the relationship between Xuguo and the Za family and Li Zongfa family, someone from these two families would actually give lectures here in Xuguo!  In addition to the Zajia and Li Zong Legalists, there are also Confucians, Mohists, Han Zong Legalists, strategists, celebrities, doctors, farmers, and all kinds of craftsmen!  This small country of Xu has miraculously brought together all the influential schools in the world to give lectures here!  And students here actually attend classes for free.  All fees are paid by the state; it is illegal not to send your children to school!  For the time being, in the Xu Kingdom, only the Mohist family, the Han Zong Legal family, and the Qiuye Wutongshan family can open mountain gates.  Collect your own exclusive disciples.  Looking at the smiling faces and listening to the relaxed and cheerful laughter.  Nangong Zhi vaguely understood: Xiao Hao was able to expand the tiny Haizhou into a large country with 11 states in less than three years, with unprecedented cohesion, not because of Xiao Hao.  What exaggerated abilities does Hao have? It¡¯s because he found something ¡°something¡±!  This kind of thing makes the entire Xu Kingdom "alive".  There are no city walls in Xuguo, neither the Great Wall nor the city walls!  There are only roads and ordinary people and businessmen who keep gratitude deep in their hearts.  The motivation to pursue wealth and happiness allowed businessmen and civilians to work voluntarily. There were no slaves here, and the nobles were all huddled up. Officials were efficient and honest, and the entire country was managed in an orderly manner under the law.  "Perhaps, Haizhou's ability to become the Xuguo is not just as simple as it seems, nor is it simply about freeing slaves and relocatingIt's as simple as nobles, paying attention to businessmen, and governing the country according to law.  There are even more core things!  "Nangong Zhi kept each question in his mind and prepared to ask relevant personnel of Xuguo for advice. "Welcome.  "From afar, Lan Hai led his staff to greet him. There was also a large etiquette group nearby responsible for playing music and so on. In this era, being an envoy is not just a matter of meeting, there is also a series of complicated etiquette.  Fortunately, Xiao Hao doesn¡¯t need to worry about these things. It¡¯s enough to leave them to the relevant departments. ¡°Oh, Prime Minister Lan Hai¡¯s reputation is so well known.  "This Nangong Zhi is completely acquainted. After some courtesy, the two of them completed the meeting ceremony. "Before that, can I go to your school to have a look?  "Nangong Zhi, an old fox, spotted the school at first sight. "No problem.  "Lan Hai didn't care. This school is here openly and openly. It also invites teachers from all over China to come and work, and also implements compulsory education in Xuguo. There is nothing confidential in itself. Even in the schools in Xuguo  You can also see the teachings of foreign races. Not many foreign races can be immune to the precious wealth of Luck Coins Nangong Zhi was dressed in elegant clothes. As he walked, he secretly cursed the cunning Lan Hai, damn Lan Hai, and this plan!  I remember! It turns out that Nangong Zhi wants to enter the school in Xishan Town, but how to enter is a problem. It doesn't matter what the identity is, but if you want to observe it for a long time, you need to make arrangements.  Lan Hai arranged for Nangong Zhi to be a teacher of the Art of War course! But there was no salary, and he had to teach the children of Haizhou! What a loss! In order not to lose his reputation, Nangong Zhi stayed up late to sort out some things.  As he walked, Nangong Zhi cursed secretly, why would you, a prime minister, bother an old man like me? But it was not far from the school. A bright smile suddenly appeared on the face of the old fox Nangong Zhi.  There is a stone tablet at the door of the school, with two lines of words engraved on it: The state has the responsibility and obligation to educate citizens correctly, and citizens have the right and obligation to receive correct education; and citizens have the right to reject anything that is incorrect or incorrect.  Legal and unethical wrong education. The simple words made Nangong Zhi's heart tremble. Although Nangong Zhi saw the school along the way, he did not observe it closely; but this time he was observing it carefully.  The ground, even some vulgar words in the eyes of the literati, exudes the brilliance of the soul. Under the stone tablet, there are many green grass leaves, plum petals, etc., which look a bit messy, but it can be seen that it is a stone.  They were arranged neatly, and a cheerful voice came. Several teenage children came together, both men and women, neatly dressed and carrying bags behind them.  It is not easy to find green grass or flower petals in winter. These children are not masters of purple energy. I saw these children walking to the foot of the stone monument and bowing respectfully.  After putting down the things in his hands and carefully placing them neatly, he happily entered the school gate; there was a fifty-year-old man at the gate smiling at the children approaching, "Hello, Grandpa Xiang.  Hello, Grandpa Xiang" When the children saw the old man, they immediately greeted him cheerfully. "Okay, okay.  Haha" The old man laughed with satisfaction. For a while, a different kind of warmth spread at the school gate. When the students left, the old man watching the gate suddenly looked at Nangong Zhi, and their eyes sparkled.  "He is actually a general who has been on the battlefield!  At least he is an acquired master!  "Don't say the surprise in Nangong Zhi's heart at this time. As a commander-in-chief, of course he can feel the aura from the other party that only survives on the killing battlefield. "Nangong Zhi?  "The gatekeeper asked. "It's me.  " "Follow me.  "After the old gatekeeper finished speaking, he walked inside. "Youyou are the only general.  Are you actually guarding the door here?  "After taking a few steps, Nangong Zhi couldn't help it anymore. "Guarding the country's gate is as important as guarding the school's gate!  "    "important?  The school gate is not as important as the national gate!  "Nangong Zhi was not convinced. The veteran smiled slightly and said, "If the country's gate is lost, we can still fight back.  But what if the door to morality and wisdom is lost?  I want to keep all dark things out of the school door, so that there is only joy and light in the school.  In Xuguo, every school gate is guarded by a general!  " Nangong Zhi stopped immediately, and the shock in his heart could not stop. He turned his head stiffly, looking at the students who were jumping happily, and looked at each and every one of them who didn't knowIn the form of movement, looking at the students and teachers holding books and reading in the snow, an indescribable touch rose from the bottom of my heart.  Suddenly, I had the idea of ??teaching and educating people here!  At this time, Nangong Zhi looked at the surrounding environment with a completely different look, and his heart was even more turbulent. Education in Xuguo is completely free for students, and they will spend their studies in school until they are 16 years old.  In this process, the school is responsible for all the food, clothing, housing and transportation, and civilians do not have to spend a penny.  The state is directly responsible for building schools, hiring teachers, equipping them with food, clothing, housing, transportation, study, etc., and the Ministry of Education is temporarily in charge of Xiao Hao's mother, Li Yufeng.  Nangong Zhi just did a little calculation and came up with a rough figure, based on Chen Guo's situation.  Such an education would cost a student about four to seven thousand copper coins a year, which is four to seven taels of silver, not counting other things, such as teaching staff. However, Xu Guo promised to bear this part of the cost permanently, and every student  Children over the age of five must go to school and be educated until the age of 16!  Calculate it all.  This is a truly astronomical figure.  And in such a school, the gatekeepers are all generals who can be counted as generals, and at least they have commanded a team of more than 1,000 people.  What kind of handwriting is this!  But Nangong Zhi still didn't give up, "Are there some people who don't need to go to school? For example, some wealthy businessmen, nobles, officials, etc. After all, these people can afford to hire separate teachers. If education is unified in this way, it is impossible to cover everything." "No.  !¡± The old general raised his head proudly, ¡°No matter they are businessmen, nobles, royals or civilians, all their children are here. Even the Xiao family and the Li family sent their descendants here.  Some of the children of the disciples in Xuguo were sent over. My grandson is in this school! No nobleman, businessman, etc. can organize education on such a scale. Private teachers (teachers) can only teach part of the knowledge.  All knowledge can be accepted here. There are people from all over the world giving lectures here. Businessmen, soldiers on the battlefield, farmers, fishermen and even swindlers all give lectures here! There are even outstanding officials who give lectures every month. Your Majesty has time.  Come back and give lectures. Here, you can learn the knowledge of the world. You can learn the reasons for the changes in the world. You can even learn some knowledge of foreign countries. You will get it here.  Unprecedented wisdom enlightenment!" "Can students learn so many subjects?" General Xiang looked at the door and smiled, "I told you that you can't understand it after you stay here for a while.  You will know why even those nobles who are dissatisfied with Xu Kingdom will try their best to send their children in. "Then the two of them were speechless and took Nangong Zhi to a prepared office, where comprehensive information was already available.  .  Sand table, contour map, various new map annotation methods, etc.  It's all here.  There are also a wealth of tools, many of which can be directly transferred to the army for use.  "Theseare all confidential things, right?" Nangong Zhi is not stupid, everything here will probably make military experts jealous.  "It used to be. It's not anymore." "A secret is a secret, and it is always a secret!" Nangong Zhi was speaking from the perspective of the commander at this time, and his tone was a little stiff.  "When you learn these things from here, everyone in Xuguo has already dismissed them. Okay, you should familiarize yourself with the environment here. I can guide you for three days. These three days will allow you to understand  These things. If you don¡¯t understand the use of these tools, you will be laughed at by the students.¡± After a brief understanding.  Nangong Zhi suddenly didn't know how to describe his mood.  The high-ranking commander-in-chief of the northern part of Chen State was actually taught by a small general how to use the fighting tools in the army one day. This was simply a shame; but what was even more shameful was.  There are some things about myself thathe can't understand!  Three days later, when Nangong Zhi passed the assault training, he finally stepped into the lecture hall and started his first class.  I heard that the northern commander of Chen State came to give lectures, and more than 200 people were squeezed into the classroom that could only normally accommodate 60 people.  "Soldiers are also deceitful" "Teacher, don't talk big words. If you endorse it, we will know it by heart!" Nangong Zhicai said a word and was cut off by the naughty students.  Nangong Zhi's first reaction was to get angry and want to strike a blow; but looking at the more than two hundred students in the class, looking at the neat and clean uniforms, looking at those bright eyes, he couldn't get angry for a moment, and then he  It occurred to me that I was not really here to teach, but to inspect.  In this case, of course we must follow the rules here.  Thinking of this, Nangong Zhi directly prepared and directed the few??Classic battles are used as lectures.  However, Nangong Zhi was completely dumbfounded this time!  I saw the students quarreling with each other, completely criticizing Nangong Zhi's classic battles, and picking up various problems and loopholes that made Nangong Zhi himself break into a cold sweat.  ¡°Then Nangong Zhi turned around and left!  These gangsters can't be taught!  But my heart started to feel heavy. Thinking about the great development of education in Xuguo, all school-age children need to go to school. Thinking that in the future everyone in Xuguo will be a general, Nangong Zhi couldn't help but tremble.  At this time, the words on the stone tablet at the entrance of the school flowed through Nangong Zhi's mind again, and he vaguely grasped something.  On the other hand, there was a sudden emotion in my heart: Xu Country is expanding!  This expansion is not just territorial expansion, it is all-round expansion!  Facing this expansion, Chen Guo has almost no ability to stop it!  If Xu Guo suddenly turns its spearhead southward now, then Chen Guo's best choice is to surrender!  And once the Xu Kingdom stabilizes, no country in the world can stop the expansion of the Xu Kingdom!  Nangong Zhi, who failed to educate others and was criticized instead, could only leave school in despair at this time!  I really can't stay any longer.  It¡¯s just that when I left the school at this time, I happened to see several caravans unloading a large amount of supplies. The relevant personnel of the school were counting them, and some students were helping.  The businessmen greeted the surroundings with smiles, smiles from the bottom of their hearts. The businessmen who had always been full of copper odor actually showed pure smiles at this time.  You can even see many businessmen taking out candies and snacks from their carriages and giving them to the excited students around them.  "Youthe school actually communicates directly with businessmen?" "Why not?" General Xiang and the janitor glanced at Nangong Zhi mockingly. It's really embarrassing for the commander-in-chief to be scared away by the students on the first day of teaching.  Nangong Zhi's face was not ordinary, "Then these black-hearted businessmen won't make black-hearted money, right?" "No! They are losing money when doing business with schools! They lose money every time they do business. They always sell to schools at the lowest price in the market.  And this price is often lower than their purchase price." General Xiang shook his head.  "Compensate? Didn't your Xuguo say" "We are willing!" A middle-aged businessman looked at Nangong Zhi coldly, "The country can lose money to educate students. We businessmen have no other abilities, but at least we can also be cheap.  Provide students with the best food, clothing, and school supplies. ¡°Thenthere are so many schools across the country, haven¡¯t you lost everything?¡± The other party looked at Nangong Zhi with a hint of arrogance: ¡°There are more businessmen across the country!  Businessmen all over the country are doing this! !" Nangong Zhi's heart was beating wildly, and his eyes almost burst out of his eyes.  "Yes, the whole country! The country can do so much for us, and we have to prove that we can also contribute to the country." Nangong Zhi was silent.  A few simple conversations made Nangong Zhi see more things.  When a country is willing to take the initiative to contribute to the country, when a country can contribute to its citizens for free, it is a perfect whole; and if it is a neighbor to such a country cold sweat immediately soaked Nangong Zhi's back.  (To be continued)
