Disasters are often accompanied by new births.
If Yunyang had not experienced this catastrophe, the spread of new ideas and culture would have been quite difficult. Many people say that people change their minds, but in fact, most people will start to think about security after they reach their comfort zone.
The reason why Yuxi City was able to form a completely different environment for a hundred schools of thought to contend with other regions was because of the deliberate guidance of Li De, He Yue and others on the one hand, and on the other hand because the geographical location surrounded by enemies gave the people a great sense of crisis . As the saying goes, what can't be broken can't be built, if there were no demons' invasions again and again, the people of Yuxi City would probably continue to spend the rest of their lives in a daze.
Now Yunyang also has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. People who have just experienced the pain of war are more sober than usual, and they are more able to distinguish and accept advanced ideology and culture. Because no one wants to go through another catastrophe, everyone is trying to find a different path from the past.
People are forgetful, and one day they will become numb again in a stable life, but at least this hell-like suffering on earth just now will not disappear for a while. For a dynasty, this period of time is the golden period of shaping. If you wait until the later period to find out that the establishment of the country is not right, then there is a high probability that it will be hard to recover. So what to do during this period, what rules to teach the people, and what to shape the territory, all need to be carefully considered.
Fortunately, Yuxi City obtained a set of theoretical basis through experiments a long time ago.
The first thing Lide did when he took over Yunyang was to spare no effort to promote new ideas.
He started by asking everyone a simple question:
"Why is Yunyang not as rich as other territories?"
This issue is not only related to everyone's pocketbook, but also released a goodwill signal of his willingness to work hard in the territory that has just ended the war. Lide hung a thousand gold coins at the gate of the lord's mansion, and told everyone that all those who are reasonable and have novel angles will eventually have the opportunity to share the bounty, and anyone who has an answer can go to the nearby Submit questions to the government, and finally all the answers will be collected by Lide.
People who cannot read can also go to the government to dictate their answers, and there will be special officials in the government to take notes.
If it is replaced by issues such as magic, martial arts, poetry and songs, the public will probably only feel that it has nothing to do with them. But on topics like this that are closely related to everyone's income, in fact, anyone can say a few words. The taxation is heavy, the local tyrants are not suitable for people, the land is not as fertile as other areas, the iron ore output is low, etc. There are too many things to mention. Since there is money to get it, who would not want to work How about giving it a try
Lide actually doesn't care what everyone's answers are. The main purpose of this move is actually to inspire the public to think about the problem from multiple perspectives. The common reasons are quickly exhausted, and everyone will always think about something deeply. For example, what is the source of the problems of heavy taxes and land mergers? How can we improve the soil quality, and how can we prevent the land from being flooded when the river breaks its embankment? There are many territories that are not rich in mineral resources, why do they have money? There are many territories exporting various minerals, why are the people still poor
This is the new idea promoted by Yunyang. It's not so deviant, there is no slogan that everyone is equal, it just advocates that people need to have their own ideas, look at problems more comprehensively, and find ways to verify their guesses.
Is the Valley of the Wicked really a villain? Is it really wrong to be happy and enmity? no.
But from the perspective of social stability, they must be strictly restricted.
Is the Church of the Abyss really evil? Some people think so, so why? Because they strictly believe in their own god - Kungu.
Then why is it correct to believe in the traditional temple of the old gods, and the abyss church that believes in Kungu has become a negative example? And who will define and who is qualified to define this so-called "correctness"
People should think about problems from different angles, and then come up with a correct answer in their own chest. If the morals of the world are different from the correctness you insist on, you should stand up bravely and speak out, with a share of light and a share of enthusiasm. On the contrary, if you know the mistakes of the world and don't correct them, then when the territory falls, everyone will not be innocent.
It is very difficult to cultivate people's thinking habits. This thing is linked to the overall quality of the people, so there is no rush. But it is a good thing to cultivate it from the beginning. At least in the future, when people see anything new, their first reaction will not be to reject it, but to try to explore it. One day, the industrial system of Yuxi City will radiate to the whole of Yunyang, and everyone's life will be subtly changed at that time. The ideological enlightenment that Lide is doing now is to make the social form keep up with the changes in productivity , to avoid more acute social conflicts under extreme imbalances in the future.
Of course, for these things, Li De basically provided a theoretical guidance, and then let He Yue realize it.
So it is obviously a very huge project, but Lide can still direct the reconstruction of the Lord's Mansion while lying on the rocking chair, very comfortable:
"Hey, the huanghuali bookcase is over there. Be careful, don't knock it."
"In the middle... yes, dig a bigger pond in the middle of the yard, put hundreds of koi in it, and I won't have to go out with someone fishing another day."
"Let's leave it at the gate first. The gate that is expected to be raised higher will be dealt with by the giant infrastructure team when you come back. You can do other things first."
"Let's renovate the house. Don't burn out or smash it. You don't need to repair it so resplendent. The house is bright and dignified, clean and tidy. I asked Liushi to draw the blueprint, which is basically in Yuxi City. For the basic expansion, you can start the construction according to the drawings... "
While directing, he inserted a pear from the plate that Alayya was holding, and said lazily:
"I'm so tired, my mouth is dry from directing."
Alaiya held the plate in one hand, and pinched Lid's shoulder with the other hand, and said:
"Have a good rest, master."
Lied smiled, and said to Alaya with some emotion:
"Well, when I was in Yuxi City, I would occasionally miss the prosperous scenery of Lingyun City. But after I came back, I began to think about the benefits of Yuxi City. After all, most of the city here was burnt bare, and the lord's mansion was also dilapidated. The place is not like a home. Sleeping alone in such a big bed at night, I always feel a bit too spacious after waking up in the middle of the night. Only when someone sleeps next to me can I feel at home... Come to my room tonight."
Lide muttered for a long time, and finally showed the wolf's tail in the last sentence.
Alaiya nodded, she was used to being hugged to sleep or something for so many years.
As long as the young master needs, she can do anything for the young master.
