The news of Liu Tao's triumphant return naturally spread throughout the state, or since he entered the party, the news has begun to spread to the counties.

So after returning to Jinyang, just outside the city gate, the civil and military officials who stayed behind went out of the city for ten miles.

Entering the city, a large number of people greeted each other, and along the way, Yang Jie and Dian Weike both tensed their nerves.

went south to crusade against Dong Zhuo, broke the tiger prison, forced Dong Zhuo to commit suicide, and at the same time the only one continued to pursue, and almost knocked down all the subordinates...... The most important thing about all this is that it took about three months.

Is it possible to give him another four or five years, and the whole world can be defeated?!

With self-confidence, then enthusiasm and drive will naturally be there. Anyone who knows clearly that the stage for promotion and fortune has been opened, and what you can go in the future depends on your own ability.

In particular, Liu Tao has a characteristic in employing people, that is: do not look at the background, only the talent.

The wealthy families may hate this, but for the rich peasants, the commoners and the poor, it is full of hope. Especially in other places, there are libraries to read, colleges to study, and even evening classes to start or tutor.

Civilians and poor families can acquire knowledge by working during the day and attending night classes at night, and for three or five years, at least they can be regarded as a 'scholar'.

"I'm away for a while, and there's nothing going on in the state, right?" Liu Tao did not go home immediately, but came to Yamen as soon as possible to inquire about the situation in the past few months.

"Nothing out of the ordinary happened...... Even if it is the border, a month ago, I just carried out border trade with the root of Budu, and I cooperated several times, and the attitude over there was very good; During this period, the Kebi Neng Department did not appear on the border, and Wu Meng complained that there was no war to fight. Xun Yu replied.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Liu Tao always feels that this person's attitude has some resentment......

You don't seem to be doing anything to him, right? Liu Tao was a little puzzled, and had to ask: "Is there any trouble with that?" ”

"It's a big trouble...... Xun Yu sighed, "There is a shortage of officials, and it's okay to just merge states." Now there are more Sizhou, Cao Cao wrote a while ago, hoping to send some officials to assist him; At the same time, ten days ago, Ma Teng sent people over, hoping to send a new Liangzhou assassin and his subordinate officials to take office. ”

"Didn't I let Cao Cao arrange the officials on his own?" Liu Tao was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't quite understand.

"The children of local families, many of them resigned directly, Cao Cao went to negotiate, and the other party seemed to have an opinion on the lord. As for the local families in Sizhou, according to the rules, they can't be allowed to be local officials, and it's best not to be in this state, so as not to use power for personal gain. Xun Yu said slowly.

Sure enough, after Cao Cao's identity as his subordinate was exposed, many people who had already planned to bet on Cao Cao chose to give up.

Hanging the seal is the norm in this era, and it has even become a means for 'celebrities' or 'loyal people' to sell their reputation. These people dared to hang the seal, just to gain the favor of the wealthy family, and at the same time, they knew that they might lack officials.

Therefore, they are not in a hurry to leave, the purpose is to wait for the price to sell, to see how much position they can give them.

"In short, you're blackmailing me?" Liu Tao is really super unhappy with this kind of behavior.

"Yes, if these problems are not solved, then the harm and loss caused will be more serious than the damage of compromise, and that's the point." Xun Yu nodded and said, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have had such a headache.

It's good to have a Liangzhou itself, but for Mao to occupy Sizhou, isn't it good to wait two more years?

In addition, Ma Teng's attack on local states and counties needed material supplies, and Cao Cao also needed material supplies to appease the people. The materials that can be mobilized by the state have been divided into two batches and sent to the two states some time ago, but they can only be used for emergencies.

"Haha, others are eager to occupy the world first, and then slowly govern it. How did it come to me, but it became necessary to advance little by little, govern a place, and then continue to advance? Liu Tao laughed at himself.

Let's just say that the Tang Dynasty, 618 A.D. was formally established, and in 621 the world was basically unified, and it took 3 years before and after. Then in 626 A.D., the Xuanwu Gate Change, to 627 A.D. Zhenguan began, until 649 A.D., it took 22 years to have the 'rule of Zhenguan'.

The time to govern the world is 7 times more than the time to fight the world, which is said to be the norm.

As a result, it doesn't work when he comes here, so why do you have to fight steadily, step by step, and govern while fighting?

Then I figured it out, the population problem. Now the Han conservative still has a population of more than 40 million, and this does not include the family members and hidden households. These 40 million people have been fighting for decades, and by the early days of the Three Kingdoms, there were still 35 million people.

There were nearly 50 million people in the five years of the Sui Dynasty, and 11.6 million people in the early years of Wude, which was only nine years.

Maybe it was Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty who dug the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the three expeditions to Goryeo that wiped out the population, or it could be that the world was in chaos, and too many people died in battles everywhere.

If these more than 10 million people are distributed, it is basically possible that there will be no people for thousands of miles. Therefore, as long as a few key passes, strongholds and capitals are laid, the rest is staking and staking land, which is naturally fast enough.

To him, although he experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion and rebellions in various places, the three places that suffered the most were Sili, Liangzhou and Jizhou. The losses in other places are actually not so serious.

Then you need to advance slowly, after all, everyone has a lot of soldiers and generals in their hands.

The other is talent, there were few counties in the early Tang Dynasty that were intact, so naturally there was no need for so many officials, just take your time; But the system on his side is almost complete, which means that there are a lot of officials in need.

However, in this era, the largest proportion of officials are not birds, and most of the latter are unhappy with him, so the problem of lack of officials has become very prominent.

Sure enough, the thing of dominating the world still has to be adapted to local conditions, otherwise it is easy to adapt to the soil and water.

Just said that he wants to change three or five counties into counties, then two or three counties into one state, and then two or three states into one government, which sounds very meaningful, and it is really meaningful!

As a result of such rectification of the problem, a large number of taishou have been vacated, as well as the history of assassination, and even the official position of the prefect......

"If you take the exam early, can you organize it this year?" Liu Tao thought about it and felt that he could take the exam in advance and select a group of talents to use.

"Half a year early, it is estimated that some people are not ready." Xun Yu replied, after all, there is no family education, many still rely on self-study, fortunately, there is a sentence to read, so that you can't even understand the meaning of the scriptures.

Basically, if you can't read it once, you can probably know what is recorded in the book if you read it a few times.

"It's nothing, I can't take the test this time, and I'll take the test again in three years." Liu Tao said indifferently, anyway, it doesn't matter if you pass the exam before the age of forty. The maximum age limit for later generations was 35 years old, which can be relaxed here to 40 years old.

At what age is the university knowledgeable and not used to it! What I want is fresh and young blood, and the main thing is to be obedient!

Xun Yu nodded, and then went down to arrange. It wasn't until this time that Liu Tao remembered: Why didn't anyone persuade me to be king?!
