After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

After Prince Teng came, Lin Ruhai had strong military support, so he could do more things.

In the past few years, the sage has sent many criminals here one after another, and has given great support to Jiaozhi's promotion of enlightenment.

The academies in Taiyuan and Jiaozhou have slowly spread out, making the other prefectures of Cochin very envious.

Because of the good results of the experiment in these two prefectures, Wang Qi has decided to slowly spread to the surrounding areas.

He plans to use ten years to make the entire Jiaozhi, each prefecture have at least three institutions of higher learning.

As for the primary and secondary schools, it is not necessary for the imperial court to provide manpower, and it is impossible for all local students in Jiaozhi to be admitted to Juren or Jinshi after leaving the teacher.

These people can be arranged to be teachers in schools.

Firstly, it allows them to have a fixed income; secondly, as they are locals, they naturally have more patience with local schoolchildren.

In terms of education, there is only so much Lin Ruhai can do.

After all, Jiaozhi is just starting out. No matter how much the imperial court supports it, it is impossible for it to have the prosperity of Jiangnan's literary style in a short period of time. Even compared with the capital, there is still a long way to go.

But the achievements he can make, in the eyes of others, are already amazing.

In the past three years, Jiaozhi has produced 73 scholars and [-] Juren.Although he has not yet graduated as a Jinshi, it is already very impressive.

Otherwise, even if the sage is far-sighted and willing to invest manpower in Jiaozhi, those heavenly officials in the court will not be so easy to talk to.

Carrying out enlightenment requires a long process, and Lin Ruhai knows that they just need to be stable.

During this period, he felt that he could develop other aspects.

For example, the economy.

Although Lin Ruhai just arrived in Taiyuan, he contacted many wood merchants, herbal medicine merchants and treasure merchants, and sold the precious wood, rare medicinal materials and rhinoceros horn ivory of Cochin.

But these things, apart from medicinal materials, are all available.Even medicinal materials, those aged ones are impossible to have all the time.

Moreover, Cui Pan once entrusted him with a dream because he organized natives to resell timber, telling him: Proper felling is fine, but excessive felling will result in loss of merit.

He has worked so hard in this life, besides really wanting to do some practical things for the people, he just wants to accumulate more merits to offset the karma left by his ancestors, so he naturally does not want to reduce his merits because of this matter.

Therefore, he set the rules: sandalwood, mahogany, huanghuali, etc. can only be felled for more than 500 years; ordinary trees can only be felled for more than 100 years.

The Cochin natives have superstitions, and Lin Ruhai took advantage of this, saying that there is a mountain god in a dream, and if a small tree is cut down, disaster will come.

Then, he sent someone to keep a close eye on them, and when he saw which ones refused to listen and cut down trees that were less than a year old, he secretly created some bloody disasters for them.

After three or five times, they became afraid and did not dare to cut down young trees.

Moreover, it didn't take long before many mountain temples sprang up all over the place.

I don't know if there is a precedent for Cui Pan's dream. After the rise of the mountain temple, Lin Ruhai actually dreamed of the mountain god thanking him, which made Lin Ruhai dumbfounded.

——He read the books of sages and sages since he was a child, and he shouted "respect ghosts and gods and stay away" all day long, but he made friends with ghosts and gods by mistake.

But it just so happened that Lin Ruhai took advantage of the situation and asked the mountain god to supervise the people and not cut down wildly.

I don't know if the luxuriant forest is really more beneficial to the mountain god, but the mountain god agreed very happily.His joy made Lin Ruhai in turn worry that his attack was not serious, so he warned him for a long time.

Trees, rhino horns and ivory cannot be traded for a long time, and short-year medicinal materials can be cultivated, but the short year means that they cannot be sold at a price.

However, the people of Jiaozhi have already tasted the sweetness from foreign trade. If they only blindly curb them, but fail to open up new sources of income, they will definitely feel resentful.

"So, brother Ruhai means..." After Wang Ziteng came to Taiyuan, he had an intuitive understanding of what Lin Ruhai did, and he admired him even more in his heart.

Therefore, he is willing to listen to Lin Ruhai's opinion.

Lin Ruhai smiled slightly, and spit out two words: "Food."

"Food?" Wang Ziteng frowned, "However, Cochin has many deep mountains and dense forests, and most of the people live by hunting, and they are not good at growing food!"

Lin Ruhai said: "They don't know how to do it, we can teach them. Moreover, Lin's drawing is mainly not in Jiaozhi."

After all, Wang Ziteng had led soldiers before, and his vision was wider than that of ordinary people. When Lin Ruhai mentioned it a little bit, he understood: "Brother Ruhai means starting from small countries such as Siam and Laos?"

"That's right." Lin Ruhai said, "Although these small countries have a small population, they produce a lot. Moreover, they have not been very peaceful in recent years."

Wang Ziteng's eyes lit up: "Brother Ruhai wants to control their food and grass by purchasing?"

"No," Lin Ruhai smiled slightly, "I wonder if Brother Ziteng has read "Guan Zi"?"

This, Wang Ziteng has actually read it.

Their royal family started as a Shibosi. Although they work for the royal family, they have to deal with those big businessmen.

Naturally, Wang Ziteng has read such famous novels related to business as "Guanzi" since he was a child.

"Brother Ru Hai, do you want to emulate Guan Zi's old affairs?"

What Guan Zhong likes to do most is to control the economy of a certain country by purchasing special products of a certain country, and suddenly stop trade when necessary.

And that country is used to earning a lot of benefits from certain crops, and has invested too much in this area.The sudden interruption of the acquirer has dealt an immeasurable blow to the country.

"That's right." Lin Ruhai nodded, "Since ancient times, the world has known that the Central Plains is a large producer. Although the surrounding small countries also have fertile land and high yields, they have always been self-sufficient and dare not think about selling to the Central Plains. Therefore, If we assign merchants to buy food from their royal family, the price will definitely not be high, but it is enough to make them tempted."

Wang Ziteng nodded again and again, and couldn't help adding: "In the future, we can increase the purchase volume year by year, and the price can also be raised when appropriate. If these surrounding small countries have to rely on me If you grow food in summer to live, you will naturally not dare to have any other ideas."

Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Lin didn't miss it, brother Ziteng really has great talents, and he doesn't stick to one pattern!"

Wang Ziteng has been an official for many years, and it is also the first time he has met such a speculator. He also felt very happy, and suggested: "I still have a jar of high-quality Huiquan wine. Why don't you wait until Brother Ruhai comes to my house after you leave the office?" Go for a drink?"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "I can't ask for it."

Next, the two discussed the details carefully and drew up a rough plan.

As for the details, Lin Ruhai's staff helped to perfect them, so they don't need to worry about them at all.

Mr. Liang and Ge Fangweng came to Taiyuan with Lin Ruhai, and they are well aware of the changes here, as well as the situation of these neighboring countries.Lin Ruhai felt relieved that they would fill in the details.

And the two did not live up to Lin Ruhai's expectations, and soon came up with a specific implementation plan.

After Lin Ruhai took Wang Ziteng to look at it together, he felt that it was very feasible, so he summoned the subordinate officials separately to implement the matter.

Among them, Wang Ziteng was mainly responsible for intimidating several subordinate countries, Mr. Liang and Ge Fangweng were responsible for contacting grain merchants, and Lin Ruhai was responsible for the most important part - contacting Wang Qi and asking him to help endorse the saint.

After Wang Qi received Lin Ruhai's letter, he also felt that this matter was very feasible.He not only agreed to write a letter to the saint, but also promised to open the door for him.

Of course, Wang Qi's main purpose is to wait and see.

If Lin Ruhai achieves success in this matter, he is ready to implement it in the entire Jiaozhi territory.If it can really achieve the effect Lin Ruhai expected, it will also benefit the country.

Spring is coming and autumn is coming, and finally it is the harvest season of the year again.

But different from previous years, many large grain merchants have come to Cochin one after another, and the neighboring countries around Cochin are also ready to move.

Speaking of it, the royal families of these dependent countries are not stupid. After getting the price of grain purchase from Lin Ruhai, they feel that it is very profitable.

Then, they turned around to collect grain from countries farther away from Daxia, and became second-hand dealers, preparing to make a fortune.

Lin Ruhai never refuses anyone who comes.

Daxia has a vast territory, and there are natural and man-made disasters almost every year.

Moreover, the imperial court had just subdued Wala, and the grain and grass in the treasury were also emptied.As far as the grain produced by these small countries is concerned, there is no need to transport it elsewhere, and the court can eat it.

The saint has recovered all the debts owed by the treasury, and the treasury is not short of money.

But if it is disaster relief, what is the use of money?Money cannot be eaten directly, but food is still needed.

It can be said that this batch of grain is really a timely rain for the court.

——This is also the reason why the court approved it so quickly after Wang Qi submitted the letter.

In order to implement this policy smoothly, when Lin Ruhai summoned businessmen, he did not forget to organize local officials to secretly participate.

With the bundle of interests, they naturally opened the door to convenience.

Three to five years later, the surrounding royal families became more and more dissatisfied, and the oppression of the domestic people became more and more serious. Lin Ruhai simply seized the opportunity and encouraged businessmen and officials to contribute funds to buy land from those subordinate people.

Of course, the methods of the merchants are very gentle, while those officials with the support of the army are more tough.

They gave both favors and threats, promising that those big landlords could settle down in the Central Plains, let their children and grandchildren read and write, and let them sell their land "willingly".

——Having gained such a great benefit, if you say you didn't do it willingly, who would believe it?

Wang Ziteng is very good at leading troops, and the soldiers in Taiyuan Mansion have become more and more powerful under his control.

Lin Ruhai also contacted the neighboring state capitals on the left and right, and waited at the border.

The kings of countries such as Siam and Laos did not dare to act rashly, so they had to send envoys to the capital to cry.

However, the capital is no longer the old saint's world, and today's saints are not the kind of people who slap their faces and pretend to be fat.

In the current situation, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the merchants of Daxia have almost bought these vassal states.

In other words, the Great Xia court did not need to use troops at all, and destroyed their country without bloodshed.

It's too late for the saints to encourage and support such a good thing, so how can they decide for them?

That is to say, due to the face of the suzerain, the saint did not make it so obvious.

But pretending to be confused and dragging the knife is also a routine operation.

As a result, as soon as their envoys sent a wave, they stayed in the capital for a while.

After sending three waves in a row, but they never returned, the fool also understood what Da Xiazi meant.
