From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1169

"In today's government, all the traitors and traitors have been executed, and there are no obstacles to the implementation of government orders. This is a political environment that has never been seen in many years. It is also the time for us to make great efforts."

"It is just that due to many unrests, there is a lack of officials in the government. The old generation cannot keep up with the new era, and the new generation does not have the ability to take responsibility, resulting in a situation of a lack of successors."

"In this regard, I have asked Deng Bochi, who has retired to the second line, to discover talents for me, especially young and middle-aged talents."

Guan Miaoshan continued: "The current treasury is more abundant than ever in many years. It is enough for us to make strategic expenditures within two years, but we need to think carefully to spend it in the right place and get the effect."

"I am good at government affairs, but this is a brand new era since the ancient times. I am still unsure about the direction and the overall situation. I want to hear your opinion. "

"Tell me about it."

Zhou Yuan raised his head and said quietly: "For a great country to rise, there must be no political chaos at home and no wars abroad."

"Now that the political ecology of Dajin is peaceful, it is in a period of renewal and innovation. We should adapt to the times and carry out drastic reforms. We have done a good job."

"As for foreign enemies, Mongolia has fallen, Liaodong has been recovered, the southwest has been pacified, and the northwest has been temporarily stable. Only coastal defense is the top priority."

"In addition to the basic expenses of the country, the basic expenses of the people, the restoration of basic production order, etc., the silver in the treasury is the top priority for coastal defense. It is the most important thing to spend money on it."

"Coastal defense is the first, and military construction is the second. Many years of war have caused the military strength of Dajin to be sharply reduced, and the foundation has been severely damaged. It takes time to slowly rebuild until it returns to its peak."

"The number does not need to be large, but it must be elite. , soldiers from all over the country should have the combat power of the Beijing camp. "

"It should be reasonably configured, with coordinated development of baggage, logistics, cavalry, musketeers, artillery and infantry."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment before saying: "The current problems of Dajin are not short-term problems, but long-term problems that need to be stepped up."

"The talent gap is huge, and talents are needed in all walks of life and all fields."

"The Imperial Academy is not enough. At least a school similar to the Imperial Academy should be established in more than ten huge cities in Dajin."

"In addition, a special military academy should be established to train middle and high-level cadres of the future army. Otherwise, the military command will not be able to keep up in the future, and the elite soldiers will be useless."

Guan Miaoshan murmured: "It's too complicated. If there is such a government initiative, more officials must be promoted. OK."

"When I have some free time, I will ask Deng Bochi to think of a solution. At most, I can lower the threshold and recruit people by exception. I will not look at fame and family background, I only look at ability."

"Whoever has ability, I will use him!"

He nodded and said, "No matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat. The rise of the entire Jin Dynasty must be efficient and throw away those rules and regulations."

"Let professionals do professional things, and move forward boldly without hesitation or twisting."

At this point, he suddenly frowned and said in a deep voice, "Can't lose Confucianism."

Guan Miaoshan asked in confusion, "What?"

"Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness."

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice, "Morality is the foundation, and then ability. For the rise of a great country, the atmosphere is particularly important. Let the inner court focus on this aspect."

"It is more beneficial to our cause to kill the bad atmosphere during the social transition period. "

Guan Miaoshan closed her eyes and covered her mouth.

It was unknown how long it took before she slowly woke up. She felt much better and warm all over.

She hugged Zhou Yuan and said in a tender voice: "Since Caixi came back, she always said some strange things. Her temper has also calmed down a lot, as if she has become more enlightened."

"Honestly, did you do something to her? I can judge people well. I feel that she has grown up."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "People will always grow up, just sooner or later. Is it strange that she is like this today?"

Guan Miaoshan said softly: "It's not strange, but why do I feel that she is coming for you... She always says some nonsense to test my attitude, but she doesn't know that her little thoughts are like transparent in front of me."

Zhou Yuan said: "Let her understand her own life and make a choice. Time will give us the answer. "

Guan Miaoshan snorted: "It's easy to say, my sister-in-law..."

Zhou Yuan covered her mouth and said: "No, don't talk nonsense, let's get on with business."

"Huang Taiji once said a few words to me about the overall strategy of the Jin Dynasty. The so-called rise of a great power must be achieved by both land and sea."

Guan Miaoshan pouted and said: "Hate... Isn't it enough just now? Talking about this again..."

Zhou Yuan said: "This time I'm serious."

"If the Jin Dynasty wants to rise, it must be prepared to face the challenges of the world. Only the Fujian and Guangdong Navy is not enough.Enough."

"I plan to select outstanding talents from the southern military academy to form the northern Leiden Navy."

"In the future, the Leiden Navy will protect the north of Songjiang Prefecture, including Liaodong, the Korean Peninsula and other places, and guard against island and overseas enemies at any time."

"The Fujian-Guangdong Navy will protect the south of Songjiang Prefecture, including Ningbo, Hezhou, Dongfan Island, Qiongzhou and other places, and cruise the Nanyang countries at any time."

"We need more battleships and cruisers in the future, and we need to have a large maritime caravan and frigates. From the Jurchen land in the East China Sea to Sakhalin Island in the east, and to the Nanyang countries in the south, they must be within our patrol range."

"That is, Sakhalin Island - the three island pirate islands - the Korean Peninsula - Dongfan Island - the Nanyang Islands. This is our coastal defense line. Within this line, we must have absolute initiative and absolute dominance."

"In this area, we cannot have opponents! ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "The Leiden Navy is just the beginning. In the future, there will be the Qiongzhou Navy, and perhaps a navy will be established in the eastern port of Goryeo."

"This is the foundation for us to become a maritime power in the new era, and it is something that must be done."

"There will be no war in the future, and I can't just sit there and do nothing. It is my task to build a new era of national defense and coastal defense, and to cultivate the next generation of talents. "

"When those students who studied abroad come back, they can also support a new world for my Great Jin."

"Then, it is to plan for Nanyang, open up the Indian Ocean, and become a real sun that never sets!"

Guan Miaoshan was fascinated and moved by what she heard. She couldn't help but hug him tighter, and trembled: "Such a great cause, how can I do without a good wife like me, Zhou Yuan, you have made me famous in history, but I want more. "

"Are you willing to give it to me?"

Zhou Yuan looked at her and asked in confusion: "Strange, we are all family, why are you suddenly polite? "

Hearing this, Guan Miaoshan couldn't help laughing and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, we are all family, and we should talk about land next, right?"

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Yes, cooperate with me, Your Majesty."

Guan Miaoshan blushed and hit him, and said "hmm" softly.
