After concentrating military and political power, Li Liangzuo began to carry out all-round reforms to the entire Western Xia, and the most important reform was cultural reform. Li Liangzuo's ultimate goal was to stabilize the Central Plains and unify the world. It was impossible to rule an advanced nation with a backward national culture.

As a later generation, Li Liangzuo deeply realized this. Since ancient times, ethnic minorities ruled the Central Plains for only a hundred years. After the Mongols won the Central Plains, they were not interested in making progress and were eventually driven out of the Central Plains. After the Manchus settled the Central Plains, the Central Plains culture was gradually eroded. It was no longer what they were when they first entered the pass.

What Li Liangzuo now needs to do is to abolish all the cultures and customs of Dangxiang and use all the Han cultures and etiquettes. In this way, the Dangxiang tribe will be completely integrated into the Han people after two or three generations. There will be no difference between the Dangxiang people and the Han people. At that time, the Western Xia will not be resisted by the Han people in the Central Plains.

It can be said that for his own ambition, Li Liangzuo first eliminated the national Dangxiang he was born in this life; and the characteristic of ancient Chinese culture was Confucian culture, but Li Liangzuo also knew that Confucian culture had many shortcomings. With the evolution of the times, Confucian culture in this period had long deviated from its essence.

So Li Liangzuo proposed the core of the new Confucian culture, "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, respect for literature and martial arts." Rather than saying that this is Confucian culture, it is better to say that this is just a new culture covered with the skin of Confucian culture. Many of the new Confucian culture proposed by Li Liangzuo have diverged from Confucius' core ideas.

"I am the uncle Gao Zhiyao, please see Your Majesty. Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." An old man saluted Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo helped Gao Zhiyao up and said, "Gao Aiqing is free from courtesy. You are my Confucian master in Xixia. I have admired you for a long time!"

"Your Majesty is absurd." Gao Zhiyao said modestly.

After Li Liangzuo sat down, he said to Gao Zhiyao: "I am a person who speaks more directly. If there is anything wrong, please don't blame me."

"Your Majesty just give me instructions if you have anything to do." Gao Zhiyao said to Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo said bluntly: "I know that since Emperor Wu of Han, Confucianism has been governed by Confucianism throughout the dynasties. Although Xixia is a small border country, it is also influenced by Confucian culture. When the late emperor was in power, he restored the old customs of Dangxiang, so that the country is poor and weak. Since I succeeded to the throne, I am in great power, so I plan to govern the world with Confucianism."

"Your Majesty's Holy wise..." Gao Zhiyao said excitedly.

"Sir, don't be excited, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Li Liangzuo said with a smile. "It has been a thousand years since Emperor Wu of Han began to govern the country with Confucianism. In the past thousand years, the dynasties in the Central Plains have changed, and Confucianism has also fallen into disparity. The concept of governing the country has changed. What I mean is that although my Daxia Kingdom has governed the country with Confucianism, it cannot copy the Song Dynasty."

"Please give me advice..." Gao Zhiyao frowned and said.

"I want Mr. Rang to take the lead in promoting the new Confucianism with the core of 'loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, respect for literature and martial arts', and cultivate our country's talents." As soon as Li Liangzuo finished speaking, Gao Zhiyao's face changed.

As a cultural influenced by Confucianism, Gao Zhiyao naturally understood that the core concept of Confucianism is "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, trustworthiness, forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, and fraternity." Now that Li Liangzuo's most core idea has changed, is it still called Confucianism culture?

"Your Majesty, although Confucianism has been revised for thousands of years, its core ideas have never been changed! Now that your Majesty changes the law like this, can it still control Confucian culture?" Gao Zhiyao asked Li Liangzuo with some dissatisfaction.

Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "What do you think is the core of governing the country?"

"Of course, it is to let the people live a happy and healthy life, and make the country rich and the people strong." Gao Zhiyao answered with his mouth open.

"What the gentleman said is right. The fundamental purpose of governing the country is to enrich the country and strengthen the people. Therefore, I have to carry out drastic reforms on Confucianism, because what I want is not those nerds who can only endorse, but those who can manage the political world. No matter how well I memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, how can I manage the country well without understanding the sufferings of the people..." Li Liangzuo's rhetoric made Gao Zhiyao deeply impressed.

"Your Majesty is a great statement, I am willing to do my best." Gao Zhiyao knelt down and said to Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo laughed and said, "With the help of sir, I believe that the Daxia Kingdom can get rid of the current situation in just a few years and achieve a real prosperity and strength of the people."

After successfully persuading Gao Zhiyao, Li Liangzuo immediately announced the construction of a new Confucius Temple in Xingqing Prefecture, and all the expenses were funded by the emperor's inner treasury. Li Liangzuo's move won the hearts of all the scholars of Xixia. After the construction of the new Confucius Temple, Li Liangzuo went to pay homage to meet him in person to suit his attention to Confucianism.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom: Throughout history, all dynasties have governed the country with Confucianism and respected Confucius as King Wenxuan; now I want to imitate the previous dynasties to govern the country with Confucianism and promote Chinese culture. From now on, I posthumously named Confucius as Emperor Wenxuan, and I admire this." Xiao Fuzi read out loudly in the Confucius Temple.

Under the promotion of Li Liangzuo, a large number of political talents cultivated by Xixia through the New Confucianism. Under the influence of the idea of ​​"loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, respecting literature and martial arts", Xixia cultivated a large number of civil and military talents. These people made indelible contributions to Li Liangzuo's future expansion of territory and fighting for dominance of the world.

The palace, in the imperial study room.

Zhou Wentai is reporting to Li Liangzuo; "Your Majesty, according to your wishes, the new teaching classics have been compiled, please preview them."

Li Liangzuo looked through and said, "It was well written, but when I was in the Imperial College and the Imperial College, I should pay attention to practice. I don't want to teach a group of sour scholars who can only recite poems and essays."

"Yes, I understand." Zhou Wentai said; "Your Majesty, is the teaching of all the states and counties below proceeding according to these?"

"This is not necessary. The state school can teach some of it. As for the county school below, it still needs to teach the Four Books and Five Classics. After all, the county school is all children, and the main task is to read and recognize words." Li Liangzuo said with a smile.

In fact, Li Liangzuo's purpose is to brainwash the children of Xixia since childhood. In this way, when these children grow up, they will only obey Li Liangzuo's orders, and Li Liangzuo will become a godlike existence in the eyes of Xixia's hundred faiths.

"Yes, I obey the order..."

"In addition, I will allocate a portion of the funds from the inner treasury to establish the Royal Academy. The Royal Academy is my private college, mainly recruiting students from the Imperial College and the Imperial College. Of course, the Royal Academy will also recruit some of them. In addition to cultivating political talents, it will also cultivate talents in military, agriculture, business, craftsmen, medicine and other aspects. I will also go to the Royal Academy to teach in person on a regular basis;

Zhou Aiqing has drafted a charter for me on this matter, and this matter must be handled as soon as possible." Li Liangzuo said to Zhou Wentai.
