The blood of the perfect world spreads all over the sky

An idea came to Han Fei's mind that these people were prepared for the village. After completing their studies, some students would stay in the village and some would go to the county.

He didn't know who was going to the county seat, but those who stayed in the village would definitely become the leader of the village.

"Qi Wanglei wants to control the countryside?" Han Fei asked in surprise.

Xunzi nodded: "Why else would he have to build an enlightenment primary school in the countryside?"

Han Fei's pupils widened and his mouth opened slightly. Qi Wanglei was doing something unprecedented.

It is a common practice that the royal power does not extend to the county.

Regardless of the aristocratic territory, it is the same in Qi State, South Korea, and even Qin State. In the end, the country's decrees only go to the county, and those who make requests only go to the county.

For example, in the military recruitment, it will only ask how many people a county needs to recruit, and will not specify the villages.

It's not that the country doesn't want to dictate to the countryside, it's just that it can't do it.

A village is usually a place with one surname, which is extremely exclusive. It is extremely difficult for the country to parachute a manager there.

Even if they are not a place with one surname, villages with multiple surnames are extremely xenophobic, and may be even more xenophobic. Being able to form a village is meant to stay together for warmth. There may be fights in the village, but when encountering external problems, they still stick together to deal with it.

A land with one surname can be recovered by just persuading the clan leader, but a land with multiple surnames is even more troublesome.

Is this Qi Wang Lei so ambitious?

He actually wants to control the countryside!

However...if Enlightenment Primary School can continue to open, it may really succeed.

The expenses of Enlightenment Primary School are all Qi Wanglei's private treasury. These students who graduated from Enlightenment Primary School are naturally grateful and loyal to Qi Wanglei. As long as Qi Wanglei's decree is not excessive, it will definitely be implemented.

only……

"Teacher, I don't understand, where did Qi Wanglei get so many coaches?" Han Fei was a little confused.

Except for the vicinity of Mount Tai, the rest of the land of Qi is plain. There is basically one village for every three miles, and there may be more. Roughly speaking, there are hundreds of thousands of villages.

Nobles control about half of them, leaving about 80,000 villages. Where did Qi Wanglei find so many coaches?

"Alas...there's something you don't know." Xunzi looked complicated.

"what's up?"

Xunzi calmed down and explained: "Those 200,000 new troops are all literate. Although they are uneducated, they are all literate and master simple arithmetic. The Enlightenment Primary School does not exist now, but existed a few years ago. , but it wasn’t called Enlightenment Primary School at that time, and it wasn’t promoted nationwide, it was just limited to the Zhang family territory.”

"The students who studied in the Kuang family territory changed their appearance and became coaches all over the Qi Kingdom."

"If you don't teach academics, just teach reading and simple arithmetic, those Kuang students can still do it."

In fact, he felt that this model was not perfect enough. It only taught people how to read, do arithmetic, and be loyal to the emperor. It did not teach them the principles of life. How could this work? Therefore, Confucians should check for the gaps and fill in the gaps.

Han Fei was even more shocked when he heard that the New Army sergeants were all literate. He was relieved to hear that the New Army soldiers were uneducated. Fortunately, they were uneducated, otherwise wouldn't they have surpassed Confucianism?

No Confucian scholar has more than two hundred thousand.

Hearing that Enlightenment Primary School only teaches literacy and simple arithmetic, he was completely shocked. This makes sense. Kuangjia's teaching is really capable of teaching just literacy and not studying knowledge.

However, Han Fei vaguely felt that there was something wrong with it.

Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and thought of what was wrong with it: "Teacher, isn't Qi Wanglei afraid... isn't he afraid that the Kuang family will replace Qi?"

Xunzi's expression changed and he said coldly: "This is not what you should care about, and you should not explore it."

The problems that Han Fei could see, he could naturally see too. He sent people to investigate secretly, and the results were shocking. All the important people in the Kuang family had been bewitched, and more than ten people had been bewitched. Several, not dozens, but hundreds.

When hundreds of important people are bewitched, the idea of ​​rebellion is eliminated, because it is difficult for hundreds of people to be of the same mind, unless someone can undo the poison for hundreds of people in an instant.

Even if someone can make it big, it is actually unrealistic. The Kuang family members are scattered all over Qi State, and Qi Wang Lei will not give hundreds of people a chance to conspire.

Of course, there is another chance, that is, the Kuang family in the army abandons everyone else and rebels together. Unfortunately, Qi Wanglei pays more attention to the army, and the poison on the Kuang family in the army is more advanced and difficult to solve.

Moreover, the Kuang family has no time. Qi Wanglei keeps using others to divide the military power of the Kuang family. The longer the time goes on, the slimmer the chance.

In the past, there were still forces that could help the Kuang family, such as the doctors in their heyday, Wu Yue, who had the art of controlling poison. But now the doctors have declined, and the land of Wu Yue has turned into a tribal fight.

"Yes." Han Fei agreed on the surface, but secretly he was even more curious.

It's not that he doesn't listen to his teacher, because he also wants to implement this method in Korea.

Compared with the previous top-down reform plan, this bottom-up reform is more promising.

This method has many benefits, one of which is to increase the control over the countryside. If he can receive information about the countryside in time, it will be more convenient to collect taxes and other things, and it can also minimize the exploitation of officials.

South Korea is a small country and has a small population. With one less layer of exploitation, South Korea will have more income.

In addition, as his control over the countryside increases, it will be easier for him to recruit troops. Let’s not talk about combat power for the moment, but there is no shortage of numbers.

Xunzi saw Han Fei's expression clearly. As Han Fei's master, he didn't know what Han Fei was thinking, and he couldn't say much.

In fact, South Korea is already hopeless. South Korea is now the smallest country in terms of land area. Even so, South Korea is still a place of four wars.

Unlike Qi State, which has the sea to the east and the Great Wall to the south, Qi State's 200,000 new troops only need to defend the north and west. Qi State's defense pressure is not great, and South Korea, let's not mention it.

In addition, the current situation changed at this time. Qi Wanglei played a trick of hiding soldiers in the countryside to make other countries pay attention to rural intelligence.

The dishes of various countries not only hang out in the big cities, but also often visit the countryside. Although they cannot always detect the information of other countries' villages, the feat of raising an army of 200,000 people that is not known to others will never happen.

South Korea has no chance to take advantage of the loopholes and can only train a new army under the pressure of other countries.

South Korea's reform failed that year, and the second reform will most likely fail, even with Han Fei, because South Korea has no environment for reform, and when the reform first takes effect, South Korea will be destroyed.

But Han Fei was born in the Korean royal family, and due to his status, this reform was necessary, but his persuasion was of no use.

I can only check and fill in the gaps for the disciples to make them feel more relaxed.

"The most important thing for Qi Wanglei to raise troops in the countryside is to keep it secret. In order to keep it secret, Qi Wanglei lost royal territory to compensate the major nobles and asked the major nobles to relocate. This allowed the Kuang family to have enough territory to raise troops and improve the level of confidentiality. ."

"So when you start the rural army raising plan, the most important thing is to think of a secret strategy."

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher." Han Fei bowed and thanked him.

"Teacher, I want to visit the village in the Kuang family's territory."

Only after conducting an on-the-spot investigation to understand the situation in Kuangjia Village can he formulate a plan suitable for rural areas in Korea.

"Go ahead!"
