Chapter 192 - Yu Yunwen
The sky had gradually darkened, and Zhao Chen had entered the Dazhang Pass!
He was sitting alone in his room, with the light on, and he was reading the report under the light! Ever since the establishment of the Military Administration, any important political or military matters had to be sent to the Military Administration for him to handle! Without the orders from the Military Administration, the Imperial Court and the Privy Council would not be able to handle any important political or military matters.
At that moment, a report came in from the outside!
Zhao Chen responded indifferently. The door opened and a person walked in. It was Wang Shu!
"This humble subject pays his respect to Your Majesty!" Wang Shu said as he knelt in front of Zhao Chen.
"Get up!" You have been busy with Li Gang over the past few days with the Autumn Harvest, how has the production been this year for all the places? " Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, Middle Han Area and Guan Shan have all received an unprecedented bountiful harvest! "Only in Sichuan, where the harvest is not very good this year due to the drought!" Wang Shu said.
"The reason why the Middle Han Area and many other places in the Guan Shan have obtained such an unprecedented bountiful harvest should be related to our Rent reduction order, right?" Zhao Chen said.
"Of course! Your Majesty, ever since the Rent reduction order was introduced, the citizens of the Middle Han Area and various parts of the Guan Shan were extremely concerned with the crops. They spent entire days and nights within the heaven and earth, serving the crops. This year, Middle Han Area and the Guan Shan have almost double their harvest. This humble subject would never have thought of such a thing! " Wang Shu said somewhat excitedly.
Zhao Chen nodded, in his opinion, this was a very normal thing! After the introduction of Rent reduction order, the farmers' enthusiasm and enthusiasm for farming and the production of their fields would naturally increase by a lot! The population of the Song Dynasty was already quite large, but compared to the modern era, it was still far from being the same! The Song Dynasty had less than a tenth of the population in modern times, which meant that the Song Dynasty had more than a dozen times more land ownership per person than modern times! With so much land, even if the production per mu was not as good as that of the future generations, as long as the system was reasonable, there would not be any problems feeding the population of Song Dynasty! The Song Dynasty frequently encountered disasters, and the peasants were unable to survive. The number of peasant uprisings occupied the number one position in all the dynasties, mainly because of the system!
"Your Majesty, the work of our Advocacy Division is progressing very well! Furthermore, we have recently changed our marketing strategy! " Wang Shu said.
"Oh? What's the change? " Zhao Chen said.
"We are now mainly advertising among young people! This included the students from the academies, the children from the peasants and the children from the soldiers. Amongst these youngsters, the promotions were very effective! They are young, so they can easily accept the ideas that the Emperor has spoken of! " Wang Shu said.
Zhao Chen nodded lightly as he started to think.
Later on, the "Great Leader" relied on the youth to spread his thoughts among the youths! He continued to receive the so-called "Red Guards", relying on the Red Guards to bring about the Cultural Revolution! Even before that, at the end of Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the people who opposed the decaying regime in the Qing Dynasty were mainly youths! The reason was simple. The first young man's mind had not been formed yet, so he could easily accept the new idea. The second young man was the most radical. Once he accepted the new idea, he would immediately follow it! Relatively speaking, the minds of middle-aged people and elderly people were solidified. If one looked around, one would not be as radical as the minds of young people! Even if Zhao Chen's "thought of a military nation" could be accepted by the middle-aged and elderly, the speed at which it was being disseminated was far inferior to that of the young!
"Your Majesty, this humble subject has a grand plan that I wish to inform Your Majesty about!" Wang Shu said again.
"Speak!" Zhao Chen said.
Immediately, Wang Shu began to talk while listening from the side.
After Wang Shu finished speaking, Zhao Chen was stunned!
His expression changed, and after a long while, he pushed open the door and walked out with Wang Shu following behind him.
Zhao Chen once again arrived at the walls of the Dazhang Pass, and took a deep breath of the fresh air! For some reason, he felt somewhat repressed! He didn't know if Wang Shu's suggestion and plan would be good or bad for him, or good for the future. He felt suffocated. He did not know if he should do this!
"Your Majesty, please make your decision as soon as possible!" Wang Shu said.
Back then, he had begged Curved End here to make a decision earlier. Unfortunately, Curved End didn't listen to him, and now, he was saying the same thing to Zhao Chen!
"Good!" I will do as you say! " After a long while, Zhao Chen suddenly said.
Days passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of July in the Lunar New Year!
The autumn leaves fluttered in the wind. The weather was getting cold!
The crops had been harvested from all over the place, and many farmers were already idling. Even the children of farmers were idling! However, these peasant disciples did not have nothing to do. They had gathered together all day, and the staff of the Advocacy Division came to these peasant disciples to spread the news.
In the academies and academies everywhere, such promotions could be found everywhere!
In a school in Southern Zheng, the lessons for today had already ended. The teacher had already left, but the students in the school had yet to leave!
There were more than 20 students present. A tall student walked up to the podium. The students below all looked at him! They knew that this student was called Yu Yunwen, and was from Long Prefecture of Sichuan. A few years ago, his family moved here, and he also came to this academy! Yu Yunwen had a good relationship with these students, they often went out to play together! However, starting from the beginning of this year, they were taught by the Propaganda Department, and the things they discussed were also very different from before!
"Big Brother Wu Yu, what are we going to talk about today?" A 14-15 year old student said.
"Today, you are still talking about how the Jin Army mistreated us Chinese! I just saw Chang An's uncle yesterday, and that uncle told me about the Chang'an City's experiences back then. Yu Yunwen said.
He slowly narrated the tragic events that had happened in the Chang'an City, while the students below only grew more and more indignant the more they heard about it!
"Big Brother Wu Yu, the Nvzhen is tyrannical and cruel. They are bullying our Chinese people. We cannot let them go just like that. We must fight them to the death!" A student couldn't stand it any longer and shouted loudly.
"That's right!" We must fight them! I want to join the army! " Another student said.
The students below all stood up, their expressions completely different from Nvzhen!
"Quiet, all of you. Do you know that, ten miles away in the Zhao Family Slope's academy, many students are already preparing to head to Middle Han Area to meet with His Majesty and request for the establishment of the death army?!" I am also preparing to head to Middle Han Area to meet His Majesty! This time, all of the young people of the Southern Zheng are going to the Middle Han Area, I beg your majesty to create a death army, and to fight with the Nvzhen to the death! " Yu Yunwen said loudly.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" In that case, we must go! " A student below said excitedly.
"Yeah, we have to go! We Chinese are much stronger than their Nvzhen! In the time of the Han and Tang Dynasties, we were unrivalled under the heavens, and all outsiders respected us Chinese as the emperor! As for women, they are only barbarians. How can they compete with us? The reason we were defeated was because His Majesty had yet to ascend the throne! Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, with our help, we can definitely expel the Tataru and restore the Central Plains! " A student said.
"That's right!" The Nvzhen has occupied the Central Plains. A barbarian with only a few hundred thousand people actually dares to bully the Song Dynasty of a hundred thousand people. This is a humiliation, an unprecedented humiliation for us Chinese! We must drive them all away, kill them all, and use their blood to wash away this humiliation! " Another student said in a clear voice.
The students below all responded, and Yu Yunwen revealed a smile! He had already joined the publicity department and was now a member of it. It was just that no one else, including his parents, knew about it!
In fact, Yu Yunwen did not know of his important position in history. This person was the Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, a man who had entered the country through literature in his early years, and when he was in his middle years, he had seized the opportunity to display his talents amidst Song Jin and when, the financial backer, had used his entire nation's power to invade south, he had turned the tides and obtained great victory, becoming famous throughout the world! At that time, Liu Qi was already an old man, and after hearing the news of the great victory of Caishi, hot tears welled up in his eyes, saying, "The imperial government had nurtured the troops for 30 years, the meritorious service today was for the Confucian Scholars!" The future Mao Zedong commented on the historical figures and read about Yu Yunwen's relevant history, sighing with emotion, "Great Master Yu, a man from ancient times!" When it came to true talent, he was even stronger than Li Gang, Zhao Ding and the others. He was a true expert in the arts, but now, this person had already stepped onto the stage of history as the 'student leader'!
