"One million taels? Will it be too much?" Song Yingxing hesitated.

"Not much, art and culture are a powerful weapon, and sometimes it is even more useful than force." Zhao Yan knew what Song Yingxing was thinking, and this guy was a little obsessed with studying production technology. So he patiently explained the role of culture to him.

Force can conquer other nations, but there must be culture and invasion in the future so that the influence of a nation can be maintained.

At the same time, culture and art are also the connotation of a nation.

Culture and art do not need to be inherited by our ancestors, but the most important thing is to work hard to develop in the contemporary world.

After hearing Zhao Yan's words, Song Yingxing felt deeply that the important surname of culture and art was not worthy of the construction of the art academy.

The next day, the Ministry of Finance allocated one million taels to the Ministry of Education. Song Yingxing convened a meeting of the Ministry of Education and formulated the development of the Academy of Arts.

First, the "Denglai University of Art" was established, and students with artistic talents were selected to enter the college. At the same time, artists from all over the world were recruited to classify the art inherited from contemporary and ancient times. Among them, those with excellent and inherited significance were opened. Those that were not very good were allowed to study together, and those vulgar ones were completely abandoned.

Zhao Yan also picked up his pen and started writing songs. Of course, he was completely plagiarizing =.

A large part of the reason why he was selected by the research institute was his ability to remember everything. Like Song Yingxing, Zhao Yan also belonged to the group with such "superpower".

When he recalled, many pictures appeared intact on the screen in front of him. This ability to be called "Human Meat Google" is indeed terrifying.

There are actually many things like superpowers. Many of the tricks used by superstitious people are unreplicable. Western magicians have some magic performances that are puzzled by people, and some are mixed with incredible superpowers.

After traveling through time, Zhao Yan read some Taoist books. Taoists called these superpowers the "Haikaanutian superpowers" and the "Mahayana superpowers". What they possessed before the awakening of Tao belonged to the Hinayana, and what they had after the awakening of Tao belonged to the Mahayana.

Some people have superpowers that are born awakened, while others cultivate them acquired.

After reading some books written by famous Song Dynasty writers such as "Lu Dongbin" and Wang Chongyang, Zhao Yan was a little confused and didn't know whether it was true or false.

Zhao Yan quickly wrote a good song score. The first song he plagiarized was "Loyalty for the Country", which is more in line with the background of this era.

...After two days of discussion, the General Staff finally determined a detailed combat plan. The previous month and a half was the period of military mobilization.

Within a month and a half, the First Division was transferred back to Shandong, while Mongolia was handed over to the Second Division to guard it.

The four cavalry brigades of the First Division will remain in the north to intimidate Chongzhen, while the five infantry brigades will head south to Zhejiang, while the Wenzhou area will break into Fujian.

On the Navy, fifteen frigates that have just been launched will also be transferred to Taiwan, and the American Infantry Brigade will also go south.

The Tainan Naval Base with twenty warships and twenty-five frigates is not very suspense to conquer Fuzhou. As long as Fuzhou conquers it, the Minjiang River will be opened in front.

Go up the Minjiang River and open a passage from northern Fujian to enter Fujian. As long as the First Division enters Fujian, there is no suspense to the end of the war.

At the same time, the Minjiang Estuary is also an area with a prosperous shipbuilding industry. The treasure ships Zheng He voyage to the West were built in the Minjiang Estuary area and were the traditional sea ship manufacturing center of the Ming Dynasty.

The conquering Fuzhou also has the significance of occupying Fujian's shipbuilding capabilities.

As soon as the plan for the war was determined, the military headquarters issued frequent orders to start a new round of dispatched troops. The Second Division's troops were drawn out and sent to Mongolia.

The First Division will be withdrawn to Shandong within one and a half months.

After the west of the desert, it had fallen into control at this time. The territory of the Ming Dynasty extended from Xingdusi, Gansu to the west to the Xinjiang provinces in later generations.

Lu Xiangsheng began to attack Tufan. At this time, Tufan was no longer as powerful as the Tang and Song dynasties. The entire Asia entered a period of great military regression after the Song dynasty.

Tufan was in the serf system at this time.

This serf system means that all peasants are slaves of lords, nobles, and monks, among which monks have the greatest influence. This social form is very similar to the serf system of Tsarist Russia, and is also relatively similar to that of Japan, but Japan's religious power is not that strong.

Under the similarity of the system, the biggest difference between Tufan is that Tufan's productivity is very backward, and the climate and land are not as suitable as Tsarist Russia. Therefore, Tufan is a very deformed society with basically no middle class.

All farmers are in debt for life. They borrowed food, seeds, and livestock from lords and temples, and they were all usury. With their agricultural production capacity that can only obtain 3 to 5 times the seeds and the survival rate of 30 to 60% of the livestock, they basically cannot pay it back every year. Even if it is 10% interest, it will be a total amount that I don’t know how to calculate after a lifetime.

Even if they die, they cannot repay the debt. Their sons become serfs as soon as they are born and have been paying off their debts for generations. At the same time, serfs have no personal freedom, and they have never had the chance to leave their village several times in their lives.

Is there any beast with the master on the mountain? There are no people without the master at the foot of the mountain. This is the serf system of Tufan.

At the same time, the monks of the Yellow Sect who were singular in their lives were not forever. The upper level had lovers, while the lower level had a slut, and there was no such compassion as Middle-earth Buddhism.

This is a way of rule in the name of religion, but the serfs still blindly worship the trumpet without any complaints.

The source of the formation of serfs in Tufan was most likely because millions of Han people were captured on the Tibetan Plateau during the Tang Dynasty.

This is a barbaric alien.

Lu Xiangsheng's Xuan Da horse led 120,000 Mongolian troops to attack Tufan. For Tufan, it was a mountain of Tai. It was in the summer. Although the plateau climate was not very adaptable, it was not easy to have altitude sickness when riding all the way, and there was no interference from severe cold.

The Ming army led the Mongolian cavalry to the Tufan and swept the whole way.

Treating barbaric aliens must be eliminated physically.

Although millions of Han people were once captured to Tufan, the Han people were not measured by their bloodline, but more of them were ideology. Whether they think they were Han people, as long as they think they were and had the same form as Han people, then they were, even other races.

What Zhao Yan wants is a quiet Tibetan Plateau. As for cultural heritage, those are actually empty. Whether it is the White Sect or the Yellow Sect, they are all selling dog meat under the guise of sheep.

If Tufan is solved, you can command troops to the Western Regions.

Chongzhen was trembling all over when Xuan Da's army ran to Tufan to fight and no longer obeyed the imperial power. Recently, he had joy and sorrow.

What was happy was that Zheng Zhilong was tied up in a chariot, but what was worried was that Lu Xiangsheng suddenly led his troops to conquer Tufan and ignored the dispute between him and Zhao Yan.

At the same time, Zhao Yan's reputation is also rising.

These are all aspects of Chongzhen's concern, but the training of the new army was very smooth, and the officers from Shandong were still very hard to train.

With the 10% increase of the new army, it will have the strength to compete with Zhao Yan.

But Sun Chuanting, who was in charge of the new army, was not so optimistic. After bribing the officers transferred from Shandong, he learned from him that Shandong's military training methods were not so superficial.

After joining the army, each soldier of the Shandong Army will receive cultural education in the army and will continue to instill national ideas in them.

This kind of thought is a belief and the direction for which soldiers strive for.

Cultural education is an overall improvement of quality. Soldiers with culture have far higher understanding of military orders than soldiers without culture.

After carefully studying the structure of the Shandong Army, Sun Chuanting gradually discovered that the Shandong Army may be a powerful enemy that will never be able to catch up.
