Ma Qiang and his entourage walked out of Quanzhou City, and the hundreds of meters that could be seen outside the city were the appearance of a large construction site.

"Prime Minister Ma Guo, I heard that there will be a place called a middle school in this new city in the future? I wonder what is the relationship between this secondary school and the university? Jia Xu asked as he walked.

"There are now 100,000 people in Quanzhou, although most of them are former Yellow Turban prisoners of war, most of them are young and middle-aged, but from the county's point of view, there are still a lot of children and teenagers, in my opinion, these children should sit in the school and study,

I advised Zhang County to set up a primary school in each of the five townships of Quanzhou, and each primary school was divided into 10 classes, with 50 students in each class, so that there were 2,500 children.

These children can learn to write and write in primary school, and the school period is five years, and after five years, they can take the exam, and if they pass the exam, they can enter the middle school in Quanzhou.

The students of the middle school will not only teach the scriptures, but also teach the law, mathematics and other knowledge, so that if these people are graduates from the office, they can at least be small officials, if they are for the people, they can also rely on knowledge to support themselves.

Knowledge is power! ”

"Two thousand five hundred people, what a lot of money, how much do these children eat, drink, pen and ink?" Jia Xu couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly.

"It mainly depends on the county subsidy, and it is also symbolic for a person to collect dozens of yuan, after all, it is not possible to raise all the children in the school now, so there will be certain enrollment restrictions."

Compulsory education is a costly thing.

Ma Qiang can't afford to play now, forget about the Red Star Camp, this is his own family, if he spreads it out, Ma Qiang's family will have to take it in.

You must know that even in later generations, education expenditure has always been the largest expenditure of China's public finance in later generations, as high as four or five trillion yuan, and it is still growing rapidly every year.

Educational resources are always scarce, otherwise where would the concept of school district housing come from.

"This is nature, although there is no class, we must also teach according to our aptitude." Jia Xu nodded understandingly.

"Look, there's black smoke, there's a fire!" Lin Zhi pointed to the distance and shouted.

"Well, I should be preparing to open up the wasteland." Ma Qiang glanced at it and said to Jia Xu, "There is a lot of land in Quanzhou, and there is no problem in raising 100,000 people, in fact, as long as the development is good, it is 300,000 people, and Quanzhou can also raise it!" ”

In later generations, Tianjin had a population of more than 15 million, and even if there was a difference in the times, 300,000 was not difficult.

After all, the total population of the Han Dynasty at this time was only one-twentieth compared to later generations.

"When is Prime Minister Ma going to the Plains?"

"In two days, Mr. Duan would like to go and have a look?"

Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled: "Just what you want!" ”

"By the way, Mr. Duan, have you been to this plain country? Do you know what's going on? ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "I know a little bit about it, if you want to talk about the Plains Country, you must first talk about the Plains King."

In the first year of Yanping, Liu Sheng, the eldest son of Emperor He, was named the king of the plains, and was later removed from the country because of the lack of queens. In the first six years of the Yuan Dynasty, Empress Dowager Deng conquered Jibei and Hejian Wang's sons to Jingshi, and felt that Liu Yi, the grandson of Emperor Zhang and the son of Liu Kai, the filial piety king of Hejian, was extraordinary, and was named the king of the plains, and was the heir of Liu Sheng. As a result, Liu Yi was demoted to the rank of Marquis of the capital and sent back to Hejian. ”

"Wait!" Ma Qiang suddenly shouted a pause, he touched his chin and asked with some uncertainty, "I seem to remember the father of the first emperor."

"It's this Duxiang Hou Liu Yi! And the current king of the plains is Liu Shuo, the second son of Liu Yi. ”

？？？

Ma Qiang blinked.

What's the situation, the plain country I want to go to is actually the feudal country of Liu Zhi's second brother?

Ma Qiang's face was silent, but his heart was overturned.

Duan Ying let himself go to the Plains Country, he wouldn't have any other thoughts.

"Mr. Duan, do you know how the Plains King is now?"

Jia Xu stroked his beard and shook his head and said, "It's not as good as the first emperor!" But he's also a smart guy. ”

I'll it, what kind of evaluation is this.

Even Emperor Han Huan is inferior?

Is that still a smart person?

Wait, it seems that Liu Hong also has this evaluation.

Ma Qiang invited Jia Xu to go to the plains together, and then introduced Jia Xu to everyone, because he was just a companion, he naturally had no position.

Ma Qiang took the land route, and the group took the Bohai Sea and crossed the Nanpi to the plain.

On the way, Ma Qiang asked his doubts.

"Military advisor, this King of the Plains is actually the second brother of the first emperor, I go to the Plains, he won't make trouble, right? It's not easy to clean up a person with such an identity. ”

Duan Ying rolled up the bamboo slip he was looking at, and then said, "Duke Ming is too worried, this Liu Shuo is the younger brother of the first emperor, and now His Majesty is not the flesh and blood of the first emperor, do you say that the king of the plains dares to take care of things?" Do you dare to be wise?

Duke Ming knew that this Bohai County was also a country twelve years ago, and its king was Liu Shuo's third brother Liu Kui. ”

"Oh? So why did it become Bohai County now? ”

In the eighth year of Yanxi, Liu Kui was impeached for rebellion, and was demoted to the king of Liaotao, Liu Kui, who lost his fiefdom, regretted it and begged for mercy in every possible way, and finally before the death of the first emperor, he ordered Liu Kui to be reinstated as the king of Bohai.

In the first year of Jianning, the general Dou Wu and the empress dowager sent people to welcome His Majesty to the throne, but rumors suddenly spread among the people, saying that Liu Kui was resentful that his brother Liu Zhi did not pass on the throne to him, and wanted to lead troops to snatch the edict.

This matter was investigated by my father himself, so I know very well that the so-called rumors were spread in the palace at all, and my father did not dare to tell the truth, so he could only beat Liu Kuiqu into a trick, and finally Liu Kui was tortured in prison and was forced to commit suicide, and more than 100 of his wife and sons died in prison.

These three brothers are alive with Liu Shuo now, if Liu Shuo dares to show a little dissatisfaction or ask about the government, Ming Gong can directly take people, and it is too late to ensure that His Majesty is happy. ”

Ma Qiang thought about it and understood, too, it was too late to hide in such a situation, otherwise what hat his father and brother had, he would have some hat himself.

At that time, it was really a neat family.

"Speaking of which, this Liu Shuo is still a relative of Kou Xian."

"How is this calculated?"

"Ming Gong forgot? In the past, Emperor Huan married the eldest princess of Yiyang to the Kou family, and the eldest princess of Yiyang was Liu Shuo's sister. ”

Yes, it's relatives again.

You ancients, you really know how to play, go around, you are all your own relatives, you are still fighting to the death, why bother to come.

The vehicle slowly walked into the territory of the Plains Country.

Ma Qiang opened the window of the carriage and looked at the fields and villages by the roadside.

That's where he's going to be working for the next few years, and he doesn't know who he's going to meet here.

By the way, Cao Cao seems to be his neighbor, go to talk to him in a few days, if you can negotiate the synchronization of some policies between the two counties, many things will be easier to do.

and Liu Bei, who should also take office.

In the last few years of the world, enjoy yourself.
