The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 986

[Chapter 986 Emphasis on literature over martial arts]

“According to common sense, at most, Wuxiu Buzhuang suffered a little loss, and the other shops were not even on the exchange. What do you mean by that word?”

“Listed.”

“Yes, yes, yes, The other shops are not listed on the exchange at all. I just can’t figure out why you want to borrow money from everywhere. “

Looking at the appearance of the British businessman, he was really puzzled.

Fang Xiu didn’t hide it from her. Of course, there was no need to hide it from him at all. He told her frankly: “I want to prepare a new army and need a lot of money. The Ministry of Revenue can’t get it, and the Ministry of War can’t get it either.” No, not to mention His Majesty’s internal treasury.

I can only prepare the money myself.”

When the British Duke heard this, he was startled, and then asked with a look of surprise on his face: “Preparing a new army, you want to prepare a new army. ?”

As if he had thought of something, his expression became a little strange.

Fang Xiu was too lazy to explain to him. He just waved his hand and said casually: “This new army is still dominated by the navy. Our navy in Da Chu is too weak. We only rely on those from the Shenji Battalion. Those ships will not play a big role at all.”

When the British Duke heard this, he was in a daze for a moment, and then he understood.

“Are you going to save the exchange?”

After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something, with a look of joy on his face, and said loudly: “If so, doesn’t it mean that returning to Nanyang is just a trivial matter!

Then Isn’t my Xia Ying Shipyard saved?”

Fang Xiu was speechless when he heard this.

It seems that this British gentleman is really crazy, and he cannot do without Xia Ying Shipyard.

Waving his hands, he said leisurely: “The prerequisite is that this new army can be established.” When

the British Duke heard this, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face, and then he fell silent.

His face is not particularly good-looking.

He looked at Fang Xiu, shook his head, and said: “Hey nephew, my uncle told you the truth. This new army is not so easy to build. Even if you prepare some money, this new army will not be easy to build.” So easy to establish.

Do you know that in our Dachu, martial arts is always the most looked down upon.

Besides our martial arts, there are also some so-called Jianghu people who are willing to practice martial arts.

Not to mention joining the army.

We have so many garrison troops in Dachu, and we are always thinking about how to get rid of the status of garrison troops.

To be honest, if you want them to join the army, it is more difficult than going to heaven ?

. “

When it comes to business, the British public is no longer as frivolous as before.

Every word is true.

How could conscription be so easy?

Not to mention that in this world, the poor are studying and the rich are practicing martial arts.

By reading, poor people are very likely to change their own destiny and even the destiny of a clan.

The so-called Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years and saw all the flowers in Beijing in one day.

It is said that the book has its own golden house, and the book has its own beauty like jade.

It is said that everything is inferior, only reading is superior.

All people in this world think about studying, both the poor and the rich.

Children from aristocratic families and poor families all study.

If it’s not that you really don’t have the talent to read, or you’re too poor and your child is too messy, who would want to send your child to become a Qiuba?

If it were in the past, when the Central Plains was hit by disasters, it would have been easier to recruit troops.

After all, no one has enough to eat.

But now that sweet potatoes are available, roads are still being built everywhere.

Anyone who is willing to work can earn money and have food to eat.

Who wants to be a soldier?

This is not just what British citizens think, but this is the reality.

This is also the result of his more than ten or twenty years of experience as a prince.

The more prosperous the age, the more difficult it is to recruit troops.

Not to mention those ordinary Qiu Ba, if it weren’t for Fang Xiu.

How have these martial artists ever had a good life?

What a glorious time it was when they conquered the world. Their ancestors all followed the dragon’s merits!

As time goes by, will their martial arts end up well?

When the battle for the inheritance was fierce, there were still people who could think of their military exploits.

As soon as the battle for the heir was over, these martial arts heroes became a thorn in the flesh of the emperor’s relatives and civil servants.

It’s hard, hard to recruit soldiers!

When Fang Xiu heard this, his face also showed a look of contemplation.

It’s not that he hasn’t thought about this issue.

In fact, he spent a long time thinking about how to recruit soldiers.

But after all, there is still no experience. Now it is a good thing to have a public discussion with the British.

Fang Xiu looked at the British Duke and said: “To be honest, I have indeed thought about the issue of conscription.

So far, my solution

is very simple to go to those remote areas, or to recruit some Station troops and turn these troops into real soldiers.”

Before he finished speaking, he saw the British Duke shaking his head.

“It’s easy to say. Have you ever visited the garrison station? What kind of life are those garrison troops living? Do you want to cancel the garrison troops and also want them to join the new army?

I tell you, this is not the case at all.

It’s impossible. These soldiers think about one thing all day long, and that is to get rid of Qiu Ba’s identity. Now that they finally have such an opportunity, do you think they might give up? “

Fang Xiu heard this. , I think it makes some sense.

But then I thought about it, why are so many people unwilling to join the army?

The reasons must be many.

There is no doubt that the most important reason is that Dachu valued culture over military affairs.

Wu Xun’s status was far inferior to that of civil servants.

This is also something that can’t be helped.

Any emperor who wants to strengthen his rule must weaken the power of the warriors.

Otherwise, rebellion will inevitably occur.

For example, Fang Xiu, ahem, to be honest, isn’t he considered a powerful minister?

But compared to Wu Xun, civil servants are still easier to control.

Although the civil servant group has the so-called dragon-slaying art, that is, etiquette, if it encounters a tough emperor.

Even if he holds the Dragon Slaying Technique, it has no effect at all.

If the emperor doesn’t care about reputation, your civil service group is nothing.

But Wuxun Group is different.

If the emperor sees that you are unhappy, he may raise a flag and pull you down from the position of emperor. If someone else takes the position, it will be the same.

Fortunately, this emphasis on culture over martial arts has somewhat weakened when it comes to Fang Xiu.

After the changes in the imperial examination, if you want to become a member of the civil and military officials, you will no longer just read some books of saints as before, but you still need to have certain abilities.

Not everyone is suitable for reading.

Although the status of civil servants is stronger than that of military officers.

But many things happened one after another.

For example, the invasion of the grassland tribes and the rebellion of King Ning all elevated Wu Xun’s status in disguised form.

Next, there is a very important question.

That’s it—treatment!
