Murphy silently looked at the map spread on the table. Rong Zhen was located in the west of the moat, and its area was one-third larger than the moat, but it was not a rich place. Twenty years ago, this place could only be called a barbarian land, where the wandering tribe plundered, the people were miserable, and the land was largely abandoned. It was not until Wu Yue was entrusted with it, that under the killing of his black iron cavalry, the Youzu was swept away and Rong Zhen's territory was stable, which attracted some merchants and common people to settle here. After several years of development, it finally has the current situation.

However, Rong Zhen's influence in the whole country and even the whole world is not great, except for the prestige of the black iron cavalry, the rest is lackluster. And what she has to do now is to increase Rong Zhen's influence. Generally speaking, to achieve this goal, we need to consider several aspects such as politics, military, economy and culture.

In terms of politics, there is John, and his layout has begun to work. The two princes will not give in to each other in the fight for the throne. Now they are evenly matched, and a coup is inevitable. Murphy conjectured that Wu Yue, the fisherman, was unlikely to usurp the throne directly, but in this coup d'état he would definitely gain the most power, and what she had to do was to echo the layout of Huan Han and take advantage of the two princes fighting against each other. When they met and caused public grievances, develop Rong Zhen as soon as possible to build momentum for Wu Yue.

Rong Zhen's military strength is probably Murphy's most reassuring side. Wu Yue has many excellent generals, and his black iron cavalry is famous all over the world. Although the number of troops is not comparable to the strength of the royal capital, in terms of elites, they are definitely the top of the cities. Coupled with the fact that they are now secretly expanding their troops, the newly recruited soldiers have extremely strong centripetal force. After a period of training, they must be a powerful force. Even if he faced Wang Jun head-on, he would have nothing to fear.

As for the economy, Murphy isn't too worried right now. Although Rong Zhen has no rich products, it has convenient transportation, a lot of land, and no harassment by bandits. With the circulation of paper and the increase of population, more and more businessmen will be attracted here. As long as there are people, lands, business opportunities, open-minded policies, laws and degrees, and the geographical advantage that extends in all directions, its economic development will be unstoppable.

Apart from these three aspects, in the end, only "culture" is left. This is probably the weakest aspect of Rong Zhen. Rong Zhen, who is martial and powerful, has a strong folk style and is light on martial arts and literature. Most literati are reluctant to come here to develop. This is extremely unfavorable for the absorption and balance of talents. There is little status in Shilin. Although her plan to open an academy has also had a certain impact, it is far from enough, at least in a short period of time, it will not change the impression of most literati on Rong Zhen.

In this way, another plan of hers should be able to be implemented, that is, to convene talented people from all over the world to jointly compile a different era edition of the "Quanshu of the Siku". The "Quanshu of the Siku" in history is a large-scale collection of books compiled since the early years of Qianlong. It took more than ten years to collect a large number of ancient books and documents. However, after several wars, it is now incompletely preserved.

And what she is going to do is to borrow the classification method of the classics and histories in the "Siku Quanshu", convene celebrities from all over the world, collect the world's collections, and jointly carry out this grand event. This will be a long and long-term project, and it is likely to be catalogued from era to era. This period was not during the Qianlong period. The dissemination of knowledge was slow, and the number of classics was far less than that of the prosperous era. Therefore, the cycle of cataloguing would be longer, but this also had its advantages. The real social and cultural inheritance is probably more significant than the original "Siku Quanshu" in history. And all the participants will also be remembered in history, Murphy doesn't believe that this can't attract many talented people.

At the same time, she can also take advantage of the surrounding area of ​​Rongzhen Academy, introduce literati, gradually form an academic circle, and then promote the development of commerce, and the promotion speed of paper will also be accelerated. count.

Now that the two princes are fighting for power and profit, they have no time to take care of them; the situation in various countries is unstable and the internal chaos, the opportunity for Rong Zhen to develop in an all-round way has come.

A few rays of light flashed in Murphy's eyes, he folded the map, spread out a piece of white paper, and swiped with a pen...

"His Royal Highness wants this king to send troops to support him?" Wu Yue sat upright in the hall, looking blankly at the envoy kneeling in the middle.

The messenger said: "That's right, the prince got the information, and the second prince has not received an edict, so he is privately bringing his troops back to the capital, and his intentions are not good. Although there are tens of thousands of defenders in the capital, the factions are complicated, and it may be difficult to stop the sharp edges. King Rong Zhen sent troops to help to solve the current crisis of the prince."

Wu Yue said indifferently: "The messenger should know that this king cannot lead his troops into the capital without King Soo's oracle."

The messenger hurriedly said: "Now the king is seriously ill, and everything is left to the prince to handle everything. The prince's order should be enough to represent the king."

Bailimo on the side smiled and said, "I'm afraid the messenger's words are wrong, right? As far as I know, although His Majesty King Soo is ill, he is not completely incapacitated. Although the crown prince has already begun to deal with the affairs of the state, an edict can still be used. Please come."

The messenger's expression changed, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "The matter is urgent, the prince may not have considered it carefully, and I hope that King Rongzhen can act expediently and help the prince."

"No need to say more." Wu Yue sternly refused, "If the crown prince wants this king's assistance, then he has to ask for King Soo's decree, otherwise this king will act rashly, and this king will not be able to bear the crime of treason in the future."

Wu Yue sneered in his heart, it is absolutely impossible for King Soo to call him back at this time. The two princes are fighting for each other. In the end, no matter who wins or loses, they will still be his Li family's world. But Wu Yue was different. He was entrenched on one side, holding elite soldiers. Once he gained power, he could usurp the throne at any time. King Soo had long thought of weakening him, and now it is even more impossible for him to get involved in the power struggle. Thinking about it, the prince will not be able to get the paper edict.

Gu Xi, he will go, but not now.

The messenger opened his mouth to say more, but Wu Yue got up and left on his own.

Bai Limo looked at the sluggish messenger and said, "Now the situation is unclear, and my lord must act cautiously. The prince has a little understanding of the difficulties of the prince. Please the messenger return to the capital as soon as possible and ask for the decree, so the lord can We can justifiably send troops there.”

The messenger was speechless, and in the end he could only leave sadly.

After getting the edict, Wang Cheng doesn't know what it will look like...

Gu Xi's messengers came and went, but Murphy didn't know it. After she wrote down the plan of the Siku Quanshu and the compilation of the catalogue, she presented it to Wu Yue and others.

Everyone was shocked by this far-reaching plan. What kind of daring is this to collect the world's classics? As soon as this order is issued, all talents in the world will be moved, and Rong Zhen will instantly become a gathering place for talents, which is more useful than any solicitation. More importantly, the timing of Murphy's election was so good that almost no one could stop his momentum and prevent him from attacking.

"Lord Futu is really smarter than others, I'm not as good." Bai Limo sighed, thinking that he had despised this young man very much at the beginning, but after he gave three salutes, he began to show his excellent talent and act in an unconventional manner. , has far-reaching thoughts, and is a wise man.

As the most senior guest in Wu Yue's family, Bai Limo was deeply disappointed. The gap between him and Murphy was not in knowledge, but in the overall situation.

Mo Fei looked at Bai Limo with a complicated expression on the opposite side, pondered for a while, and said, "Sir Baili, this matter is very important, Futu knows that his prestige is not enough, and it is difficult to convince the public, so I hope that the adults can help, and join a few more people. Reputable talents, discuss this matter together."

Bai Limo's eyes lit up slightly, he took a deep look at Mo Fei, and said, "Baili will help me wholeheartedly at the request of Lord Futu."

The corners of Wu Yue's mouth rose slightly, looking at Murphy with admiration and indescribable joy.

"In that case, please ask Mr. Baili to invite a few famous people to discuss the details together, and make sure to do the best in this matter."

Baili nodded in agreement.

Wu Yue made a decision at this time: "This matter will be handed over to Baili and Futu, who are solely responsible for this matter, and all personnel can be transferred cheaply."

Soon after, the recruiting order from Rong Zhen was quickly brought to all parts of the state of Suo. When the order came out, Shilin was shaken, and countless talents flocked to him.

A large area around Rong Zhen College was vacated by Wu Yue to entertain talents from all over the world. Many discerning businessmen rented houses near the college and opened shops. It is definitely impossible for so many talented people to be supported by the palace. Only book contributors can give corresponding rewards according to the quality of the books. Those who participate in editing will receive a certain salary.

At the same time, Murphy opened several lecture colleges from the college to encourage foreign talents to participate in the lecture activities of the college. Some colleges with insufficient teachers have entered a stage of rapid development due to the participation of many talents.

Before the official compilation of "Siku Quanshu" had begun, its influence had already appeared, and a Shilin school gradually formed around Rongzhen College. People met friends through literature, debated fiercely, or competed in poetry and prose.

A year later, this place was called "Ming Yafang", which clearly distinguishes right from wrong in the world.

This is a later story, and won't discuss it for the time being.

At the beginning of the recruitment order, although Shilin was alarmed, people paid more attention to the cataloging of "Siku Quanshu". From the selection of reviewers, to the establishment of the four major bookstores, to various reward systems, personnel allocation and other matters, it can be said that Murphy and others have been very busy since the second month of the recruitment order.

"Fu Tu, should you take a break too?" Gu He has been following up for a while, and he can be regarded as realizing how desperate Murphy is. As soon as you start working, you devote yourself to it, and you almost don't know what fatigue is.

Murphy's subordinates paused, and said without raising his head: "I am very safe in the mansion, you really don't need to follow Guhe all the time."

Gu He shrugged and said, "I also go out a lot, okay? Futu, you are too focused on what you are doing. How can you notice when I appear and leave?"

"Oh." Mo Fei looked at the book on the desk with a bright gaze. The momentum of archaeological research in the past has emerged again. These are all classics of this era! Different from the history she is familiar with, the Jingyi School is very different, but it feels connected. The words of each school are an important basis for understanding the cultural background of this era. How can it not make her obsessed?

Well, maybe when she made this plan to build momentum for Wu Yue, she also had the mind of looking at the world's classics, not contradictory, not contradictory.

Lone Crane was helpless, and this person was enchanted again. Forget it, at this time, his expression was focused, and even if he deliberately approached, there was no response. Hey, it's also very attractive...
