Chapter 30 Talents

With the strong support of Yao Jie, the reserve system of Youbeiping was quickly established, fortunately, no one paid attention to this kind of place in Youbeiping, if it was placed in other places, it is estimated that there would have been a rumor of imperial history playing on it, with Yao Jie's current behavior, it can be completely identified as an intention to rebel, but in this era, the Han Dynasty's control over this remote area is very weak, and the southern counties in history are basically regarded as a country of their own, like Liu Yan in Yizhou, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, are the biggest warlords in this era, especially Yizhou, The imperial court can't manage it anymore, it is equivalent to losing contact, and there is almost no road to the south of Youbeiping, plus it is very remote, so it will be eaten away by the Wuhuan people in history, which also shows how weak the Han court's control over Youbeiping and the four counties to the east is.

The leading generals of the army don't have to worry for the time being, although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have character flaws, but they will be enough to serve as the commander of the first army in the future, like Guan Yu also has the record of flooding the Seventh Army, Zhang Fei also has a record of subduing Yan Yan, which led to Liu Beijun's difficulty in entering Shu for a low record, plus Zhang Fei is thick and fine, and he can be regarded as strategic, as long as someone in the army can suppress him and not let him underestimate the enemy, there is no big problem, Guan Yu is also in a similar situation.

Now Yao Jie is in urgent need of civil officials, in this place where birds don't, even if they want to find talents, they can't find it, and finally Yao Jie found out that this matter can only be asked by Zhang Rang to help.

Although the reputation of the eunuch party is not good, but the power is not small, as long as Zhang Rang can tie up a few talents, Yao Jie will have the confidence to subdue them.

Yao Jie drew up a list for Zhang Rang, of course, most of these people are white, if they are like Xun's Eight Dragons, they are all talents, but they want to use brute force to recruit, it is estimated that Zhang Rang will not dare to do this, but others like Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Lu Su, Zhang Rang has the means to let them come to Youbeiping.

After writing the letter to Zhang Rang, Yao Jie began to think about new problems, these talents want to come for several months, during this time you can find a way to cultivate talents by yourself, such as the army can set up a simple training class, in the future can also be expanded into a military school, there are no more than 10,000 children in Beiping, you can try to popularize compulsory education, so that there will be no shortage of middle and low-level talents in the future.

Yao Jie has already made up his mind in his heart to give the whole world a big change of blood in the future, most of the original old-style officials can not be used, and the main force to replace them in the future is these newly grown young people, they have ideals and drive, and they are more in line with Yao Jie's standards for employing people.

Yao Jie, the children's textbook, is going to use the three-character scripture, as for the problem that the three-character scripture has not yet arisen, Yao Jie plans to write it himself, anyway, Zhu Di is an emperor, and this kind of book has basically been learned and memorized.

The most important thing is the number of textbooks, thinking about it again and again, Yao Jie still plans to use engraving printing, although movable type printing is good, but the material problem has plagued the ancients for hundreds of years, so it leads to movable type printing is not as good as engraving printing, until modern times to solve this problem, Yao Jie thinks that he has no ability to solve this problem.

The paper problem is more important, although Yao Jie knows the production method of bamboo paper, and bamboo paper is better than Cai Hou paper, but bamboo paper, as the name suggests, must be bamboo, there is basically no bamboo in the north, other kinds of paper, Yao Jie does not know, after all, the traverser is not omnipotent, he did not learn this before crossing, bamboo paper is also what he learned from reading novels before, and Yao Jie went to Du Niang to learn more about it under curiosity.

It seems that education can only find a way in the future, and the rest is to recruit ready-made readers, which still has to test Zhang Rang, Yao Jie feels that Zhang Rang has become his subordinate, and he responds to his needs, of course, this is just his illusion.

The main reason why Zhang Rang is vigorously helping Yao Jie now is that Yao Jie's strength is insufficient, for his own safety, this ally outside is very important, anyway, Yao Jie has already been labeled as a top ten permanent servant, Zhang Rang must first let Yao Jie's strength develop rapidly, but once Yao Jie's strength is too strong, Zhang Rang is likely to suppress him.

Yao Jie's current strength is already the third strongest in Youzhou, and in front of him are Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, of which Liu Yu has about 50,000 people, and he can also mobilize some nomads to fight, Gongsun Chan is Guangyang Taishou, Guangyang County has a population of hundreds of thousands, so Gongsun Chan expanded his army by 30,000 in the shortest possible time, plus more than 10,000 people he originally commanded (Gongsun Chan was the commander of 5,000 cavalry in the Battle of Jicheng, not that he only had 5,000 people), the total strength was about 40,000.

Yao Jie now has 30,000 regular troops, 50,000 reserves, 20,000 of the reserves are natives of Youbeiping, and the rest are migrated, although those people brought by Yao Jie were not selected into the regular army, but most of them are young and strong, Youbeiping is located in a bitter cold place, and has been plundered by Wuhuan people all year round, so most of the old people have not lived, so nearly half of them are young and strong, as for the original county soldiers of Youbeiping have been disbanded by Yao Jie, most of the disbanded county soldiers have also entered the reserve, and the reserve is currently temporarily responsible for the original duties of the county soldiersAlthough these reserves are not Yao Jie's regular army, their combat effectiveness is far greater than that of the former county soldiers, and the county soldiers are more symbolic, and the combat effectiveness is very limited, if the Wuhuan people want to attack the city, this county army of more than 2,000 people will not have much effect.

"General Qiyu, the military marquis Li Gan asks to see." One of the guards said.

Li Gan is a military marquis under Yao Jie, because he is a native of Youbeiping and is familiar with various places here, so he was sent by Yao Jie to find the purple shirt, and it has been almost half a month, and it seems that there is good news.

"Call him in." Yao Jie held back the ecstasy in his heart and said to the guards.

After a while, Li Qian came in, "My subordinates have seen the general." Yao Jie stipulated that everyone in the army would call him a general, and others would call him Taishou.

"Get up, haven't you found the purple shirt?" Yao Jie said eagerly.

After half a month of searching, his subordinates finally found purple shirts in Xu Wushan, and it was a purple shirt forest, with thousands of trees." Li Gandao.

"Okay, pass the order down, find a way to plant more purple shirts, and the soldiers you go to find this time will each receive ten gold, and you will receive fifty gold." The subordinate brothers thanked the general, and after Li Gan finished speaking, he went down to give the order.

Yao Jie didn't get dizzy, thousands of purple shirts are enough for the time being, but in the future, longbows will be equipped on a large scale, so it is imperative to plant a large number of purple shirts, and the role of purple shirts is far more than that, there will be other functions in the future.

With a longbow, he will have an advantage in range in the face of foreign cavalry in the future, although he will not be able to destroy the enemy by himself, but it is no problem to cooperate with the heavy infantry to catch the other party off guard, and this autumn's battle against Wuhuan is at least invincible, thinking of this, Yao Jie clenched his fists excitedly.

Some people may think that the height of Chinese is not as good as that of Europeans, so it is impractical to promote longbows, but Europeans are taller than China, and that is only after the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the average height of adult men at the founding of the United States was 1.67 meters, the average height of Swedish soldiers was only 1.66 meters, and the average height of adult men in the Song Dynasty was also 1.66 meters.

Therefore, the so-called height problem led to the fact that ancient China did not use the longbow, which is simply untenable.

There was no longbow in ancient China because the Chinese crossbow was more powerful and enough to deal with the cavalry, just as the crossbow was no longer used when there was a musket, and the compound bow and longbow in ancient times were also very similar.
