Chapter 430: Planning and Layout (3)
Liu Ximing did not give others a chance to speak, and directly stated his own judgment.
"I think that the world will eventually be seized by thieves, because once the provinces of the Central Plains are eroded, the imperial court will further lose control over the southeast, the largest source of finance and taxation in the world."
"Without financial resources, the available soldiers of the imperial court will be even more scarce, and as long as there are wise people among the thieves who lead the troops to attack the Beijing Division, they will inevitably be able to fight in one blow."
Chen Yiding had a disbelieving expression on his face, "No, if you want to attack the Beijing Division, you must first bypass Shanxi or Hebei, there are many soldiers and horses in these two places, how can they be taken down by thieves?" ”
Liu Ximing showed a sneer on his face, and he asked Chen Yiding rhetorically:
"Uncle has been in Beijing for more than two months recently, do you know anything about the behavior of these officials?"
"For example, today, except for a few upright people, everyone is accustomed to being greedy for ink, and regards them as being responsible for everything like a tiger, and everyone thinks only of seeking no fault and not seeking merit, in this case, can you expect them to resist the rogue?"
President Huang Zong sighed and nodded: "What the president said is good, the sect will be in Shilin for a long time, and I know what most scholars think in their hearts, what everyone thinks is that they have studied hard for decades, and they can be admitted to be an official, which naturally depends on their own ability, and what does it have to do with the emperor's court." ”
"Since we have suffered for so long, many wives and children in our families have also suffered for decades, so when I become an official, I have to earn back all these profits and profits, and with the effect of going up and down, the atmosphere of officialdom can no longer be reversed."
"That's why we want a revolution," Liu Ximing tapped the stick in his hand on the map, his tone very firm.
But why is this happening? The imperial court has been raising scholars for 300 years, which is not unbelievable for scholars, but now this situation is happening, which is really unbelievable. ”
Huang Zonghui's brows furrowed, and the words he said were full of distress.
Liu Ximing looked at the crowd: "This situation is related to what Ze Wang just said, scholars have worked hard for decades, so they naturally have to try their best to make their efforts reflect the value, in the eyes of most people, this value is measured by money and status." ”
"The deeper reason lies in the deformity of the bureaucratic principle and the distribution of social interests in the national character of the Chinese people, because of these two, the people can only take the road of becoming officials if they want to get ahead, which will inevitably lead to the mixing of many people who are indiscriminate."
"Forget it, it's off topic again."
Seeing that everyone was listening attentively again, Liu Ximing smiled embarrassedly and pulled the topic back.
"Continuing to talk about the general trend of the world just now, I just said that the thieves are likely to seize the world, but please pay attention."
"The reason why the thief is called a thief is that the foundation is unstable, even if he can conquer the world, he is also a strong outsider, and now that Jianyu has been called the emperor and founded the country, they will definitely not stand idly by at that time."
"Besides, the thieves themselves are not capable of governing the region, so I judge that the two sides are likely to fight."
"To tell you the truth, I once led Li Biao and others to have a battle with Jianlu, although more than a thousand people were beheaded, but Jianlu's barbaric and ferocious, fearless appearance of life and death still often comes to my mind, so I think Jianlu is likely to win."
"What? Have you fought against Jianyu? ”
Huang Zonghui's attention did not focus on Liu Ximing's statement that Jianyu might win, but instead paid attention to the matter of the battle against Jianyu with a surprised face.
Seeing that Du Liangji, Lei Hong, and the other dozen or so scholars also looked at him with curiosity on their faces, Liu Ximing had no choice but to wave his hand at Li Biao and motioned for him to give a detailed introduction to the situation at that time.
It seems that tonight is not to sleep, Liu Ximing sighed in his heart.
Listening to Li Biao's face full of excitement and spitting after telling him about the situation last time, Huang Zonghui and the others almost exploded again.
The Liu family actually fought directly against Jianyu, and achieved such great results, and all the members of the club were a little dreamlike.
Seeing this, Liu Ximing had to cough lightly a few times and pulled everyone back from the shock.
What he said interrupted his train of thought a little, but seeing the eyes of Huang Zonghui and the others becoming more determined, Liu Ximing felt that it didn't seem to be a bad thing.
"Let's look at the map, according to this line of thinking, the five provinces of the Central Plains, together with the three northern provinces, will be the main theater of war in the future.
The stick in Liu Ximing's hand drew a circle towards the junction of Huguang, Henan, Shaanxi, and Sichuan.
"This is the location of the base I planned, there are many thieves in this place, and there is an urgent shortage of officials, so it is much more convenient for us to go to the Ministry of Officials to find a job."
"In addition, the thieves often go back and forth in these places, which also gives us the opportunity to develop covertly, which can be described as an excellent base area."
Du Liangji asked, "Does the president want to send us to these places to serve as county commanders, and then control the whole county?" However, there are still gentry in a county who occupy places, and officials control government affairs, so what use can we have. ”
"Hehe, you're on point", Liu Ximing smiled slyly.
"My Liu family has long implemented compulsory education in the village, and now there are at least 3,000 people in the village who have studied for more than two years, which is enough to serve as officials."
Huang Zonghui smiled awkwardly, "I've only been studying for two years, I'm afraid it's a little insufficient, I'm afraid I can't even write too much." ”
"Hahaha", Liu Ximing laughed loudly, he pointed to Li Biao and the others: "These are all people who have only studied for more than two years, you ask them how many words they can read." ”
Li Biao replied proudly: "I don't know how many words I have learned, but I know most of the words in the books now, but I can't understand some of the literary language." ”
"But if it's all vernacular, I have no problem reading it, and the second brother has always said that learning knowledge doesn't have to be in books, things in life and work are knowledge."
"Hey", Huang Zonghui looked at Li Biao, who was tall and strong, with some surprise, he really didn't expect him to say such a thing.
Liu Ximing smiled and briefly explained the Liu family's learning system to everyone.
On the one hand, there are pinyin, simplified Chinese, vernacular and other means to assist learning, on the other hand, for the potential children in the village, Liu Ximing also provides space spiritual water to help them learn.
In addition, with the help of Tang Xiuyuan, the Liu family recruited more than 500 people who had read books from Huguang, including Xun Bowen and Liang Yizhi.
The addition of these scholars has further promoted the vigorous development of the Liu family's education, which is why the Liu family has been able to expand so quickly in recent years.
Different from Huang Zonghui, Du Liangji, Zhao Xiangyang and others still know the Liu family relatively well.
Since Liu Ximing dares to pack the ticket, it means that there should be no problem.
Thinking that there might be a prosperous scene like the Liu family under his rule, everyone looked forward to it in their hearts.
"Right now, we have one first-class jinshi, three second-class scholars, and third-class four, my plan is that except for one or two people who stay in the center to help me, the rest of the people had better be able to go down to the prefecture and county, and I will send people to do a good job of docking."
"As for the local gentry and officials that Yue Zhi just said, hehe, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and someone will naturally clean it up then."
Liu Ximing's mysterious expression made everyone in the room a little embarrassed, and you just had to say that it was a robbery.
After a moment of silence, Dou Yuquan took the lead in speaking: "Since this is the case, then I apply to go to Dengzhou, Henan, I am a second-class jinshi, and I can be awarded Zhizhou without staying in Beijing." ”
Liu Ximing nodded, Dengzhou connects Nanyang and Xiangyang, and Hanchuan Village is near here, which is the most critical location.
Lei Hong answered: "Then I'll go to Neixiang County below Dengzhou." ”
"Then I'll go to Guanghua County in Xiangyang, Huguang", Zhao Xiangyang smashed his mouth and chose a place.
Xie Wenle smiled, "I choose Yangxian, this is close to my home." ”
This was selected to go to four places, Xu Wei had no choice but to look at everyone, and pointed to Shaanxi Xuan with a smile, "It seems that I can only go here." ”
"Hahaha"
His expression amused everyone at once.
Liu Ximing smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "A quarter of our Tuntian in Shaanxi is in the kitchen, you are the key here, this is to trust you." ”
Xu Wei can be regarded as Liu Ximing's confidant, on the one hand, the two were classmates and both were students of Zhou Liangcai, on the other hand, the entire Xu family is in Liujia Village, which can be said to be a complete Liu family.
