Therefore, several rural areas near Yuyi Town are full of folk customs and have a sense of paradise. The fact that the Han people live and work in peace and contentment is equivalent to giving Koguryo people a good imitation. Koguryo has a heavy tax on the valley people, and five grains and five stones are distributed to ten people. (Note 1) Here is the tax.
Moreover, although it is a fishing and hunting aid for Koguryo farmers, the harvest is not much, so the people are used to dieting, but Yuyi Town is so rich in Liaodong that it is almost a paradise compared with it. Li Chongjiu is worried that Koguryo people will be in turmoil and many of them have plans to simply abandon Liaodong to live and work in peace and contentment.
This has made Koguryo people feel at ease here, and Li Chongjiu has also allowed these Koguryo people to keep their original customs.
Therefore, Koguryo people farmed outside the dam and spontaneously built temples, but they accompanied Li Chongjiu to Jichuan with disdain and complained about this custom of Koguryo people. In his words, Koguryo people went to the shrine more often and bathed and slept in the same room.
The so-called temple of prostitution means that many gods believe in Goguryeo, such as the ancestral gods of the country and the tunnel gods. Everyone believes in many gods, almost to the point of worshipping them when they see them.
Of course, this is very contemptuous for Yoshikawa, but it is easy for them to understand that many people believe in shamanism, and shamanism is to believe in many gods in the same river and bathe in the water and lakes, and it is easy to understand that there are naked Koguryo men and women everywhere. No wonder Yoshikawa said that they are vulgar and lewd.
Of course, there is also Ji Chuan’s view that the Koguryo people are different from the Han people. First, Koguryo Han people are farmers, and second, Koguryo people have a curly hair, which is neither like the braided hair of Xi people nor like that of Qidan people.
Koguryo people and Han people usually have a bun on their heads and similar clothes. Men are all wearing wide robes and big sleeves, while women are also wearing skirts and accessories.
After inspecting the farmland, Li Chongjiu asked Goguryeo Eagle Strike Lang to invite 600 young people from his house for inspection.
The purpose of Li Chongjiu’s review is to see whether the Koguryo government troops can fight in the first world war, and to be familiar with the Koguryo people’s fighting capacity in the future.
After a review, Koguryo people are not very strong because of long-term dieting, but they are still quite good at resisting foreign enemies for many years.
Every young and strong Koguryo can draw a bow and shoot well. Archery, the kings of Koguryo have always attached importance to archery.
In addition to archery, Koguryo people are good at building cities. Of course, they are also good at riding. Koguryo people generally ride war horses, but fruit horses are called fruit horses. Therefore, the horses are very short and can reach the bottom of fruit trees at most. Although they are not tall and not suitable for war, this fruit horse is very suitable for mountain marching. For example, the ancestor of Yunnan horses in China later generations is fruit horses
Li Chongjiu’s generals analyzed that Koguryo Army is not as strong as grassland riding and fighting, nor as strong as Humong cavalry, but its archery and fortification are very good, so it can be used for garrison in wartime or auxiliary army in marching. Although it is not suitable for frontal battlefield, it is very beneficial for Taihang Mountain in the Korean Peninsula in the future.
Li Chongjiu intends to introduce a large number of fruits and horses to Silla trade and distribute them to Koguryo government troops. In the future, Koguryo troops can make history in Tang Jun. Koguryo people are stationed in mountainous Yingzhou to guard against Qidan Xi people. Therefore, the Koguryo Wuren Group in Yingzhou became a unique force in the late Tang Dynasty.
So Li Chongjiu told the Han generals in Koguryo to practice Koguryo soldiers well during the slack season.
It is a great joy for the two of them to see that Li Chongjiu attaches so much importance to the Koguryo government army. If Li Chongjiu goes there, Koguryo people will gradually assimilate into the Han people. I believe that in a few years, he will probably appear as a Koguryo star as Wang Sili of Gao Xianzhi.
Of course, Li Chongjiu, who encouraged Koguryo people to be Chinese, also decided to let all Koguryo generals and brothers or clan nobles go to Yuyi Town, Huaihuang Town to study.
Speaking of county school, Li Chongjiu will call Zhou Xu from Huaihuang Town after returning to Yuyi Town.
After Zhou Xu saw Li Chongjiu, when he paid a visit to him, he taught him for many years. The great master’s bearing was long gone, and he was silent and wooden when he first came to Huaihuang Town as an official.
Li Chongjiu looked at Zhou Xu with great satisfaction and said, "I’m here to ask you about your county studies."
Zhou Xu said, "According to the layout before Gu Gong, in recent years, both towns of Huaihuang and Yuyi have started county studies. It has been more than two years since Huaihuang Town and County Studies. By June this year, 50 students will have graduated, and some of these people will be promoted to county studies, and all counties in Yuyi Town and Guyun County have not finished school for one year."
Former Li Chongjiu thinks that the triple jump distance of Mengguan County School is too long, so it needs to be shortened by two levels, that is, Mengguan, that is, those who choose the best after three years of graduation from the county library can enter the county school.
The policy of learning from ignorance in the county is one of the three policies that Wen Yanbo offered to Li Chongjiu at the beginning, that is, Wang Daodang was the main enlightenment and the auxiliary criminal law.
It was also Dong Zhongshu’s famous saying at the beginning, but everyone knows that the emperors of China have always been foreign Confucianism. Li Chongjiu set up the Mengguan County School to select poor brothers and distinguish the gentry.
At present, there are 50 students in the first batch of county students, 20 of whom will be promoted to county schools, and they can go straight to county officials after studying in the future, but the remaining 30 Li Chongjiu also decided to assign them to county officials.
County magistrate, county magistrate, county commandant, and chief clerk are all appointed by the official department of the imperial court, such as the doctor of science in Cao County, County Six, and so on. Although they are not small, they are also important positions, but they are usually filed with the official department after the county magistrate’s levy.
These people don’t even need to belong to the supernumerary staff for filing. Generally, Liu Cao finds his own intimate people to be used by the leisure archers, etc., and they are directly recruited by the catching head himself to run the leisure archers. How many people and how large they can be depends on whether there is oil and water in the county.
The fatter the county is, the more collectors it raises, the poorer the county is. Of course, it is not enough to have enough porridge.
Everyone can see that there is something wrong with this official system, but it is because of the rules for thousands of years. The second county magistrate, Xian Cheng, and other court officials have to levy and manage a county from a county strongman’s family, otherwise they will be put down, and the strongman’s family, Liu Cao, will fight with the officials, and he also keeps his own minions, such as helping archers, to run errands for them and rely on these people to fish the people.
So going from the imperial court to the local people can be properly governed, and everyone can share the benefits, but it is not good for Li Chongjiu. On the one hand, the bottom of the people has been eaten by fish, on the other hand, the local gentry and Hao are too powerful
Such as Lujia, the cremation is not only a place in Zhuojun County, but also a family official who marries in-laws from generation to generation in the imperial court. Therefore, it is difficult to shake Lujia, the cremation, except for Huang Chao.
Li Chongjiu’s greatest advantage in squeezing the Lujia warlords is that his own army has its own army, and the cremation dare not oppose himself.
Later, Li Chongjiu fostered businessmen and workers to weaken the influence of the gentry. Finally, Li Chongjiu trained officials from the county school to change the county order from the lower level. Only by relying on powerful officials can we control local bad habits.
However, it is impossible for these officials to learn from Liu Cao and other officials after the county has completed their studies. Of course, they must start at the first level.
When these 30 people are assigned to counties, they should first fill in the post of catching fast, so that they can gradually adapt to it. Of course, Li Chongjiu doesn’t want to go too far and doesn’t ban the cremation and powerful officials.
Li Chongjiu specially screened from four counties in Anle Liaoxi, Zhuojun County, Gujun County, and assigned these 30 students to 15 counties in Anle County. Li Chongjiu won it in Gaokai Road just last year, but he just recovered from the war, but more than 20,000 people are in ruins.
Li Chongjiu must rely on powerful officials to resume production, but local officials are extremely scarce.
Li Chongjiu divided the fifteen people into two groups, and the one with the best performance in the official middle school of Anle County, Anle County, was responsible for transferring some grain from Zhuoxian County to disaster relief.
Li Chongjiu, the remaining fifteen people, ousted some of the old and weak in the remaining three counties. Of course, they will be filled to let them go directly to the front line for experience, and it depends on their own fate.
