As the state minister of Pengcheng, Guan Yu used the power in his hands to only allocate a small amount of money to Jian Yong to promote this plan. And he spent a lot of money on tuntian.

Of course, Guan Yu is not wrong to do this. After all, in the Second Battle of Xuzhou, Cao Cao, in order to retaliate against Liu Bei's strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, ordered Cao's army to destroy all the tuntian fields around Pengchengguo.

It is true that a lot of money is needed to build a new tuntian.

After learning of this situation, Liu Bei also knew the temper of his second brother and couldn't force it, so he had to allocate some money from his own pocket and give it to Jian Yong privately, so that he could successfully promote this plan in Peng Chengguo.

Xuzhou Talent Plan, Liu Bei only issued decrees at all levels of government in Xuzhou, and did not let people publicize it everywhere. However, under the spread of those who have a heart, the surrounding forces have already known the details, and most people are waiting to see Liu Bei's jokes.

How can universal education be so simple?

In addition to the strong support and financial resources of the rulers, two prerequisites must be met.

First, appropriate teaching materials.

Jin Jue has solved this point for Liu Bei.

Originally, the plan proposed by Jin Jue to Liu Bei was divided into two steps

The first step is to let all children and young people in Xuzhou be able to read and count, and they don't need to take the top prize.

The second step is to select talents from among the outstanding students and train them by special personnel.

Although such talents are a minority, they will still provide Liu Bei with considerable reserve talents in the entire Xuzhou.

At this point, the human, financial and material resources required will be greatly reduced.

So what can other children and young people who have only learned the basics of literacy and numeracy do?

At this time, Liu Bei can let these children learn advanced planting techniques through books. In the final analysis, the ancient feudal society was still based on agriculture.

The teaching materials in this area will be provided to Liu Bei by Jin Jue at that time.

In this regard, Liu Bei is very confident in Jin Jue, but others are not so optimistic.

After all, a person's energy is limited, Jin Jue is so good at strategy, it is already rare, how can he have outstanding ability in agricultural production at such a young age.

In terms of agricultural development, Xuzhou is not short of relevant talents, and the first person to be recommended is Chen Deng. When Tao Qian was still alive, the reason why Xuzhou was able to become a wealthy state in the surrounding area was because Chen Deng assisted Tao Qian in vigorously developing agriculture in Xuzhou.

Because of the Chen family, Chen Deng could not provide Liu Bei with much assistance in a series of reforms in Xuzhou, but if Liu Bei had a request from Chen Deng in agriculture, Chen Deng would definitely not refuse.

Second, there are teachers.

When there are textbooks and no one to teach them, that's a big problem.

However, this problem is nothing to Jin Jue.

With the textbooks provided by Jin Jue, one of the children and young people enrolled in the county town can be quickly developed, and then these rapidly becoming children can become teachers and teach the knowledge in those two textbooks to other children.

The so-called learning is not in order, and the one who achieves it is the first, which is the truth.

The other forces believe that throughout the ages, education has been enjoyed by nobles and families, and that individual Tianzong Qi may be discovered from the soldiers, but that is only a special case. The so-called talent plan vigorously promoted by Liu Bei in Xuzhou has never been done by anyone, even if Confucius has such a great influence in the Lu State, he has only accepted a few hundred apprentices.

What kind of virtue can Liu Bei have, dare to do such a thing.

Press Xuzhou things do not list.

Let's talk about Yuan Shao.

Last year, shortly after Cao Cao moved Emperor Han Xian to Xu's capital, Yuan Shao regretted it and wrote a letter asking Cao Cao to move Emperor Han Xian's capital to Yecheng. Cao Cao not only refused, but also used Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to borrow the edict issued by the imperial court to reproach Yuan Shao.

The edict said: "Yuan Tingshi, you have a vast land and many soldiers, but you specialize in setting up a private party; When I was suffering in Henan County, I didn't see you go out to King Qin, I only saw you sending troops to attack each other with others. ”

Yuan Shao knew that this was Cao Cao's troublemaker, but he had to defend himself in a book.

Soon Cao Cao appointed himself as a general, and named Yuan Shao as a lieutenant, and changed the title to Marquis of Ye.

Although Taiwei is the third duke, but his status is under the general, Yuan Shao learned the content of the canonization decree, deeply humiliated, so he sent it to the court, that is, he did not accept the court's worship.

Yuan Shao also said indignantly to his subordinates: "Cao Cao fell into danger several times and almost died, but I saved him in time." Now, instead he is giving orders to me in the name of the Son of Heaven! ”

At that time, even if Yuan Shao lost the annexation of the state, Cao Cao's strength was still far inferior to Yuan Shao, and the environment in which he lived was even worse than in the original history.

Although the old opponent Yuan Shu has now been hiding in the Huainan Mountains for a long time, and is not a few days away from death, the area controlled by Cao Cao is located in the Central Plains, with Liu Bei of Xuzhou in the east, Zhang Xiu of Nanyang and Liu Biao of Jingzhou in the south, all of whom are eyeing Cao Cao.

If Yuan Shao took the initiative to tear up the alliance with Cao Cao at this time because of the problem of official position, the Cao army at this time would undoubtedly be defeated.

Therefore, Cao Cao was afraid in his heart, and could only temporarily adopt a strategy of restraint and patience.

So, in the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao appointed Zhong Xuan as an envoy, and once again sent an envoy to Yecheng with the Son of Heaven Fu Jie, worshiped Yuan Shao as a general, and gave him a bow and arrow, a rune, an axe and an iron and a hundred tigers. This is not enough, in the edict, Yuan Shao was actually put in charge of all the prefectures and counties in Hebei at one time, and also in charge of the four prefectures of Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou.

Cao Cao's concocted canonization decree ostensibly showed his respect for Yuan Shao in order to ease the contradictions between the two forces. But in fact, he was provoking Yuan Shao and Lu Bu.

When Emperor Han Xian was still in Luoyang City, Lu Bu had already obtained the titles of Bingzhou Mu, Wenhou Wanhu Eater, and Hussar General from Emperor Han Xian. That was the heavy general set up by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to balance Wei Qing and Huo Quai. Among the heavy generals, he is of the same rank as the great general.

Cao Cao still let Yuan Shao control the annexation of the state in the holy decree, just to intensify the already bad relationship between Yuan Shao and Lu Bu.

Yuan Shao, who had just accepted the reward from the imperial court, was full of pride. He immediately sent people to the surrounding area to invite celebrities to Yecheng, and he was ready to feast guests for his own canonization.

At this time, Zheng Xuan was really invited to attend the banquet.

And what is even more coincidental is that not long after the banquet began, the fourth list concocted by Jin Jue also spread to Yecheng.
