Age of mythical princes

Chapter 445
"Weapons and armor manufacturing industry? The technology is too far behind, and this is Wei's strength. It would be unwise to attack the strong with the weak."

"The talisman industry? This requires a large number of excellent Taoists with low cost. Yancheng has great advantages in this aspect. The larger the country, the greater the advantage."

"In the end, the veteran thought about it and found that most industries are not suitable for us. Either the technology gap is too big and there are too many things that need to be supplemented, or even if it is produced with hard work, it cannot be sold and cannot drive the domestic industry. upgrade."

"In the end, this is the only solution!"

Does Weiguo have any outstanding advantages?
It really does.

Weiguo has a large population!
Among the countries in the Central Plains, Weiguo is famous for its large population.

Therefore, after Mei Gong thought for a long time, he planned to take full advantage of the large local population.

Of course, Mr. Mei is a serious Confucian scholar, so he cannot do human trafficking.Mei Gong could not do anything like an island country in a certain period of history that collectively organized its own girls to go abroad to work in a certain industry.

After all, he was a true great Confucian. Even if his ideas were different from Jiang Hua's, and even if he wanted to govern a country by himself, his basic qualities were still much ahead of those of the later Confucian scholars of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, more than 30 years ago, Mr. Mei personally went to Yancheng and started a population business with Yancheng. No, he established a large-scale talent training mechanism.

At that time, although Weiguo also had some money, enough to start a few years of primary education in his country, Mei Gong felt that just doing this was not enough.

Therefore, Duke Mei came up with the idea of ​​borrowing money from Yancheng, and then using the money from Yancheng to hire Taoists from Yancheng and teachers from Yancheng to come to Weiguo to build junior and intermediate schools.

As for the locals in Weiguo, it is a great thing to get free schooling.

Education is very expensive, especially extraordinary education. Even basic level extraordinary education is very expensive.If Weiguo loses this money, he will have no money to do other things.

Therefore, Mei Gong positioned Weiguo as a talent training base in Yancheng.

It is said that Mr. Mei said this at the time: "I once carefully inspected Yancheng. Today's Yancheng is just too kind and good to the people. As a result, it has raised a large number of lazy people, and the welfare is so good. This is not conducive to the development and progress of the people."

"Today's young generation in Yancheng do neither this nor that. Those who dislike this and that are a generation that has been wasted."

"From now on, we Weiguo people will do the work that the young people in Yancheng do not do! We, the Weiguo people, will bear the hardships that the young people in Yancheng are not willing to endure!"

In the end, a large number of alchemists and warlocks were collectively organized after graduation and went to Yancheng to work and earn money.

These alchemists and warlocks will work hard to make money in Yancheng for decades or even centuries to come.

A lot of the money they earn will be mailed back to Weiguo, which drives the development of Weiguo.

With so many talents, there are also many patriotic ones, so they stayed. With this group of talents, the development of Weiguo has entered a virtuous cycle.

Moreover, the entire Wei Kingdom has established junior schools and intermediate schools. The truly outstanding talents were discovered by Mei Gong's disciples and grandsons as soon as they emerged, and eventually joined Confucianism and Mei Gong's lineage. A large number of outstanding talents The new blood makes it possible for Mei Gong to have successors in his lineage.

This was Mei Gong's vision more than 30 years ago, and now, most of it has been realized.

Weiguo has become rich and powerful, the people of Weiguo have become rich, and Weiguo's extraordinary efficiency has also increased.

The only flaw is that most of the people who went to school more than 30 years ago are still ordinary people or alchemists. Not many have become sorcerers, and even fewer have become Taoist priests.

If Weiguo is given another 30 or 50 years to develop, and when this group of people grows up, Weiguo will really become stronger.

But now, only more than 30 years ago, many talents are still just warlocks, not even Taoist priests, let alone Taoist priests.

It may take another 50 to [-] years to see a large-scale spout of Taoist priests.

It may take hundreds of years to see Taoist priests spouting out on a large scale.

Mei Gong was very sure that if Weiguo could continue to develop, then Weiguo would have a bright future.

But now it seems that Weiguo may not have this opportunity!

It is impossible for Wei State to allow Wei State to continue to develop.

"In the past 30 years, Weiguo has popularized the ten-year primary school education, and the extraordinary rate is as high as 5.00%. This means that for every one hundred people in Weiguo, five people are alchemists or Chinese. "

"The entire Wei Kingdom has 20 counties, with a total population of 30 billion, and countless extraordinary people. Just looking at the bottom level, it is more than ten times stronger than it was more than [-] years ago!"

Even at the top, there are fifty or sixty real people in Weiguo today plus the first generation. Compared with more than 30 years ago, that is doubled and doubled again!

"Twenty years ago, I convened a large number of doctors and Taoist priests to train prefecture-level Taoist soldiers based on them."

Real prefecture-level Taoist soldiers are equipped with a complete set of equipment, which contains extremely high technical content, and every detail contains a lot of hard work and effort.However, Weiguo did not have enough time to slowly explore the mysteries.Therefore, Weiguo chose to directly recruit doctors and Taoist priests, and based on them, they were directly equipped with magic weapons and trained as prefecture-level Taoist soldiers.

Some of these trainings were successful, but most failed.

Finally, they invited military masters from Yancheng to help train troops, and then they trained [-] quasi-prefecture-level Taoist soldiers.

As for how these [-] quasi-prefecture-level Taoist soldiers were trained, to be honest, everyone in Weiguo still doesn't understand it so far.Even though Yancheng allowed them to visit the military training process, the Weiguo generals could not understand many details during the military training process.

Hearing this, Wei Hou shook his head: "Mei Gong, thanks to you, the Wei Kingdom continues to this day instead of being destroyed more than 30 years ago."

"I've heard of these prefecture-level Taoist soldiers. Although there are as many as [-] in number, how to train and how to replenish them are all in the hands of Yancheng. To us, this is a one-time army."

"This earth-level Taoist weapon method is just like certain exercises. What Yancheng provides us is not complete. Many of them are hidden in the details of daily military training."

This is like a book of exercises. The secret book only records how to breathe and how to move Qi, but it does not record the mental state when breathing and moving Qi. It only emphasizes that more Confucian classics should be studied.I just emphasize that you should study hard.

Even if other people take away the secret book and practice according to the secret book, they will lose their proper state of mind and may end up doing twice the result with half the result.If there are too many similar details, it will be impossible to train prefecture-level Taoist soldiers.

Therefore, Marquis Wei said that this is a one-time army, and there is no way to replenish it once it is exhausted.

"Moreover, the Wei State alone has as many as [-] soldiers."

"This army of [-] people has been trained since they were alchemists, sorcerers, countrymen, and scholars. Their tacit understanding is far better than David's."

"More importantly, I heard that behind these [-] Wei soldiers are about one million Xuan-level Taoist soldiers, as well as the preliminary training manual for Wei soldiers distributed throughout the Wei State."

"The entire Wei State has popularized this "Wei Martial Soldiers Elementary Training Manual"."

Having said this, Marquis Wei took out a manual.

Mr. Mei had seen this manual a long time ago and read it more than once.

However, this is Wei State!

This is Pang Juan!
I’m not afraid of you plagiarizing at all!
If you copy it, Pang Juan will be even happier, because after copying it, those who will be trained according to the requirements of the manual will be potential sources of Wei soldiers!

When the army is defeated, even if some of Wei's soldiers are lost, with these reserve forces, after rapid training, the consumption of Wei's soldiers can be supplemented, and there may even be more.

Throughout the Wei Kingdom, every Chinese or alchemist who successfully graduated from the junior academy was a potential reserve force for Wei soldiers.

With such a reserve force, Wei Wu soldiers are not afraid of fighting at all. Even if they lose the battle and change from one hundred thousand to fifty or sixty thousand, they can quickly replenish the army of one hundred thousand. After a little training, they can continue to fight.

"Although no major war has occurred in the past 30 years, Gu still understands the truth that [-] prefecture-level Taoist soldiers, well-trained, well-commanded, and equipped with all magic weapons, are comparable to a great master."

"At that time, if Pang Juan comes with an army of [-] people, no, even if Pang Juan only leads an army of [-] people, Weiguo will not be a match."

Mei Gong felt that today's Wei Hou was a bit strange, but he could understand it.

"In the past, I just felt that Weiguo was hopeless, no matter what. So, besides indulging in pleasure, what else can I do?"

"Anyway, thank you sir for these past 30 years. At least for these past 30 years, I have dreamed of inspiring the country. But now, this dream is about to wake up."

"Your Majesty, Wei State itself is indeed no match for Wei State, but there are other small countries around, as well as Yancheng, and Wei State still has a chance!"

Marquis Wei didn't say anything, but Marquis Wei felt in his heart that times had changed.

In the past, the princes were pursuing hegemony, so at that time, it didn't matter if they lost, as long as they surrendered and ceded territory.Even if the country is destroyed, there is still a chance to recover after being exiled to another country.

But now, the princes are pursuing great unification. This thing of great unification refuses to be divided. If they lose, they can only destroy the country directly!

The rules have changed!

Thinking of this, Marquis Wei took out a box: "This contains the tiger talisman. With this tiger talisman, sir, you can mobilize all the troops of the Wei Kingdom except the imperial guards. The country of Wei will be handed over to you."

"As for Gu, I will continue to live in this palace, enjoying luxury, drinking wine, listening to music, and enjoying the singing and dancing of beauties."

"Finally, Gu has invited the envoy from Yancheng. If necessary, sir, you can abandon everything here and go to Yancheng with Gu for safety."

"Overseas, three large floating islands have been purchased by Gu Gu..."
