Saint Immortal Way

() A group of people patrolled along the Songhua River, and the first stop was Songhua City.

Songhua City has just taken the shape of a small town, and it is very prosperous because of its population of 10,000+. Songhua City has been opened up for tens of miles around Songhua City. It is either planted with mulberry or opened up as a pasture. Large tracts of woods have been The trees are felled and used directly to build houses.

There is even a shipyard built on the pier of Songhua City, and a dozen or so 20-meter-long ships are being built.On the first avenue, people come and go, and there are many shops on both sides of the avenue. A small half of them have opened, some are preparing to open, and some are being renovated.

There are teahouses, restaurants, restaurants, noodle shops, grocery stores, tailor shops, blacksmith shops, inns, post stations, etc. There are all kinds of shops related to basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. Most of these shops are newly opened by members of the Lu clan, and some are from the Fire tribe. Some people followed suit and opened it, and finally they were able to make some money.

Princess Shouyang and his party walked on the first avenue, looked at the appearance of a thousand wastes waiting to be built on the avenue, and said with a satisfied smile: "Since Lu said, you are still able to do things. In just a short while, there is no such thing as Songhua City." So, how did you do it?"

Cao Daoyuan and the others were also curious. It stands to reason that the economy and governance are not simple. They haven't studied this deeply, and they always feel that it is impossible to build a small town like the one it is now.

Lu Yang laughed and said, "It's not difficult, the essence is only two words, planning."

"How to plan?" Princess Shouyang suddenly became interested.

"This is a university question, but in order to manage the issue of attachment, I have set up an attachment committee, but all tribes that have attached themselves will elect representatives to join the attachment committee to communicate and resolve attachment issues. This is how the tribal elders govern tribal issues Idea!"

While introducing, Lu Yang told everyone about the benefits of setting up a membership committee.

Everyone came to the end of the avenue, and there was a newly built building here, which was much more majestic than the simple pavement on the street. Everyone saw that there were three three-story wooden buildings, full of majesty."Songhua City Hall", "Songhua Buddhist Hall" and "Songhua Jingshi Hall" are hung on the door respectively.

Seeing these three institutions, Princess Shouyang was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Is this the Yamen?"

"It's the yamen!" Lu Yang laughed.

Huang Zongxi showed a strange look on his face, and said seriously: "How decent is it to make the Yamen look like this?!"

Lu Yang waved his hands and said with a smile: "Traditional yamen only have city magistrates, county magistrates, and governors. They concentrate all powers in one body. Although the power is in their hands, the disadvantages are particularly obvious. A good county magistrate can govern well. However, a mediocre county magistrate can also harm a county. This is the harm of all rights tied to one body. Now I can only separate the administrative, legal judgments, and police inspections. The benefits of this are not only It's self-explanatory!"

Cao Daoyuan frowned and said, "The yamen is the institution governing the local area of ​​the imperial dynasty. If you change it at will, you may be impeached by the imperial envoy!"

"What we have to do is an unprecedented event. It is best not to stick to some old things. As we gain more and more territories, governance becomes the top priority. But we should do everything that is good for governance. Do your best to comply, I believe His Highness has the courage!" Lu Yang looked at Princess Shouyang.

Princess Shouyang nodded and said with a smile: "Naturally, in this way, a stone pillar is erected in front of this building, and the words "Songhua City Yamen" are written on it, so that no one can say anything!"

"Your Highness is wise!" Lu Yang was convinced.This is called peddling dog meat. Although it is still a yamen, the power and functions within it have been divided into three parts. This is of great significance, and it reflects a kind of progress.

Entering the city hall, Lu Yang convened a meeting of all the "three halls" to give a so-called "three halls work report".

As the meeting started, the third hall began to make reports. Lu Yang hoped that everyone would have a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of Songhua City.

Currently, the subordination committee is attached to the city hall, and its members include the Lu family, most of the elders of the Fire clan, most of the elders of the Bronze clan, etc. It can be said that the subordination committee has representatives in the town hall, and they can speak for themselves. for the benefit of one's own tribe or all tribes.

Lu Yang knew very well that this kind of master spirit would make all the subordinate tribes wholeheartedly support the new yamen.

Lu Yang has been busy these days, nothing more than wanting to create a norm, a model, and a system. This norm and system is not only in line with his own interests, but also protects the interests of all affiliated tribes. As long as this is done, Then this norm and system can become a model, copied to all conquered territories, and quickly digest and integrate the territories and people.

At the meeting, the city hall also made a report on the results of the private school.

The one who gave the report was Lu Qing. When he said that up to now, the Fire Tribe and the Copper Tribe have set up a total of 13 new private schools, which have semi-mandatoryly enrolled children aged [-] to [-]. Princess Shouyang and everyone The entourage was stunned.

It has to be said that Lu Yang really cares about establishing private schools, and he is very active in his actions. It can be said that almost every tribe has one or two private schools, and each private school will send one to three members of the Lu clan.

These people's reputations were not high, and some were students or children, but there were more than enough barbarian children to teach enlightenment. Lu Yang insisted on relying on the support of the Lu clan to popularize the education of the holy way to such a degree.

Of course, the cost of materials was astonishing. The spirit pills alone flowed out like running water. If Lu Yang was not the major shareholder of Jindan Yipintang, he would not have been able to resist such investment and consumption regardless of cost.It wasn't until the Bodhi Academy began to refine alchemy that this consumption was greatly alleviated.

At the meeting, there was another issue that caused disputes.

"Chunyang, I have no objection to your encouragement of childbirth, but it is unreasonable for you to allow interracial marriage. Such a policy will definitely be banned by the court!" Cao Daoyuan objected.

"Does Your Highness think so too?" Lu Yang turned to look at Princess Shouyang.

Princess Shouyang nodded and said, "According to the current policy of the dynasty, people of the dynasty prohibit intermarriage with barbarians. This is to ensure bloodlines!"

Lu Yang sighed and said, "Which sage suggested this? It's really a disaster!"

Everyone was dumbfounded, Lu Yang's words were a bit outrageous, but this is not the imperial Kyushu, but a land of barbarians, no one cares much about what they say or do.

Lu Yang continued: "Your Highness, seniors, all of you should think about it clearly, and don't cut yourself off from the foundation of unification with the barbarian tribes. We are now conquering a barbaric land. What are we relying on? Apart from swords and guns, what are we doing?" Only by being educated can you win people’s hearts.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Education, of course, includes precepts and deeds. It is not just as simple as teaching the holy way. The first one is the most acute ethnic issue. If one is not handled properly, it will bury the root of disaster. For example, prohibiting interracial marriage. If such a policy is adopted , will inevitably intensify racial conflicts, which is not conducive to national integration, and is not conducive to governance, and within ten or twenty years, there will inevitably be riots, this is by no means alarmist!" Lu Yang said seriously.

Everyone fell silent. Perhaps Lu Yang's words were not alarmist. As early as the first hundred years of the Da Kuang Dynasty, racial conflicts and riots frequently occurred, and even once threatened the rule of the dynasty. That was a bloody lesson.

Lu Yang continued: "Governance is a great subject. Your Highness, when we conquer other people's lands, we need to formulate policies around stability and unity. We must not artificially create obstacles to stability and unity. Besides, the wise sage has long As I said before, enlightenment is based on the holy way, and the theory of blood is actually narrow!"

Princess Shouyang nodded her head in agreement and said, "That's true. The emperor once taught me that if you learn the holy way, you will be a great Kuang people, and if you abandon the holy way, you will be a barbarian. It is an unprecedented cause, to make this place where you can see the territory of Da Kuang, to make this place where you step on the holy way, enlightenment and integration are the foundation, and it is the rock that will never change!"

Huang Zongxi nodded: "Your Highness is full of courage and has the demeanor of a saint. In the eyes of a saint, there are only common people, and in the eyes of a saint, there are only people. Since they are both common people and people, they should not be treated differently!"

Lu Yang sighed greatly, thinking that his teacher and some sages are wiser. How similar is this debate between Kuang and Barbarians to the previous life's debate between Hua and Barbarians?

The Great Kuang Dynasty wanted all nations to come and rule all the lands in the whole world, but courage and strength came second. First of all, it was necessary to have a big heart to accommodate all the alien races in the world, and to allow all alien races to accept the teachings of the Holy Way. , Become the person of Da Kuang.

Without such a big heart, it is impossible to rule the Kyushu.

As a man of two lifetimes, Lu Yang's vision is naturally high-level, and he can understand such mysteries, so he also has his own experience in governing barbarian tribes. Before some big issues, Lu Yang is quite firm, such as intermarriage, Lu Yang agrees, at least There will be no bullshit rules such as the Manchus not being able to intermarry with foreigners during the Qing Dynasty.

After the meeting, everyone had a general understanding of the Fire Tribe and the Copper Tribe, as well as a comprehensive understanding of Lu Yang's work.

Princess Shouyang is very satisfied. She agrees with every policy set by Lu Yang. As long as she adds all the people she trusts to Lu Yang's three halls, she can take over everything smoothly.Of course, it is impossible for Princess Shouyang to do it alone without Lu Yang's people. As a high-ranking princess, she cannot do everything by herself.The various personnel in the three halls are the actual executors of all the territories and tribal people.

After inspecting Songhua City, they inspected another seven or eight copper tribes along the Songhua River, and then turned to the southern foot of the North Flame Hell Volcano to inspect many fire tribes.

These tribes are the foundations of Lu Yang, and the Bodhi Academy is located in the Huoshi tribe. After the tribe's key transformation, the Huoshi tribe is now much more prosperous than before, especially the elixir industry is very prosperous.

Lu Yang opened Huitong Bank and Datong Commercial Bank in each tribe, controlling most of the trade and money transactions of all tribes.

Qianzhuang is the predecessor of banks, but Qianzhuang is not as large as a bank and lacks the functions of a bank, such as casting money.

Lu Yang was very aware of the role of banks. In the Great Kuang Dynasty, there were no banks, only the Mint, an institution specialized in minting coins.Of course, there are banks, but banks are not banks.Lu Yang started planning a long time ago and set his sights on the bank, so he set up a good bank from the very beginning.

If the bank goes one step further and intercepts the right to issue coins, it will become a bank. This is a lucrative business, and Lu Yan can't let it go.
