Chapter 124 Privateer Permissions
Fa Yan listened to Lu Bu's words, and he also sincerely admired, he followed his father Fa Zhen all his life, committed to spreading Confucian cultural thoughts, but it was the first time he met a court official who was in a high position, but really pretended to be a people, and Lu Bu understood the meaning of education, he was really a like-minded person.
Fa Yan was dressed and bowed deeply to Lu Bu again respectfully. "Fa Yan thanked the general for the people of the world, the general understands the righteousness, and it is my lifelong desire to educate the people, a disciple of Confucius, from all walks of life and from all backgrounds."
"Although I am from a poor family, there are many people who have the talent to govern the country, I am willing to follow the general, wholeheartedly run the school, I will also invite my classmates, my friends to build a school, so that more children can learn my Confucian culture, even if it is not good, you must be able to read and write, not to be ignorant."
Running a school is really not Lu Bu's fooling Fa Yan, or a whim, but a century-old plan formulated with Fu Zhu and Jia Xu.
They planned to set up a government-run school in the county of each county under the jurisdiction of the state, and there was no entrance threshold, it did not matter if the family was poor, and the tuition fee was very low, and it could even be covered by food.
If it is really difficult and you want to study, you will be taken care of as appropriate, and you will be rewarded for your excellent academic performance. It really needs to make books accessible to everyone who wants to learn about culture.
The school is not limited to subjects, not Confucianism, but also hundreds of schools, but the school has an age limit, and you can enter the hall from six to sixteen years old.
As long as you want to learn astronomy, geography, and arithmetic, there will be teachers to teach you, not only to learn culture, but also to apply what you have learned.
However, due to the deep-rooted concepts of that era, the school only admits boys, and women cannot enroll, and Lu Bu also wants to be equal between men and women, but unfortunately there is too much resistance.
successfully persuaded Fa Yan to stay and teach and educate people, in fact, Lu Bu cared more about Fa Zheng, who was the first strategist in the Three Kingdoms period.
Such people are usually gifted, and they have been different since they were teenagers, Lu Bu is very curious about what kind of monster will he cultivate if Fa Zheng goes to study at Shaling Military Academy? Talented?
In 186 A.D., just entering the first lunar month, in order to show the peace of the world, Emperor Ling of Han once again granted amnesty to the world, and then ordered the restoration of the palace that was destroyed by fire before.
The restoration project was commissioned by the eunuchs Song Dian and Bi Lan to preside over the construction work, which not only rebuilt the palace, but also cast a lot of bronze figures, bronze beasts and exquisite organs, which cost a huge amount of money, and the money used was looted from all over the country.
After the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the burden on the people who were rebuilding their homes increased, and the finances of the prefectures and counties were also very tight, and many officials and soldiers could not get full salaries.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty in Luoyang was still extremely poor and extravagant, spending extravagantly, and when he was short of money to spend, he sold his official position and accepted bribes.
In this way, many people were once again forced to a dead end, and above the court, there were still eunuchs rampant and nepotism, and the most absurd thing was to appoint Zhao Zhong, the regular attendant, as the general of the chariot and cavalry.
In February, Zhao Ci, a native of Jiangxia, rebelled, and in a short period of time, he broke through the county and killed Qin Jie, the Taishou of Nanyang County, which caused a great sensation.
Sun Nugran deserves to be called a hero, and after taking office, he first summoned all the former subordinates to appease them.
"You are familiar with the situation in Nanyang and the work at hand, so I will not remove you, but only ask you to do your job well, solve my worries, so that I can lead the troops to fight wholeheartedly, and the rebellious things are wrapped up in me."
Sun Jian worked hard to plan to counterbalance the rebellion, and at the same time, the expeditionary force led by Xu Huang and Jia Xu also sent back good news.
With no intention to calculate, and there are familiar with the route and customs, and even the language is exactly the same Jin Riyan brothers, such a leading party, it is not surprising that the Northern Xiongnu Shan Yu's royal court, but Shan Yu did not catch it.
Then according to the plan, he swept several large tribes around the royal court non-stop, capturing a large number of male and female slaves, and countless cattle, sheep and horses, which was probably the heaviest loss in the history of the Xiongnu.
Because although there was the confrontation between the north and the south Xiongnu before, but being led by someone to end the royal court is probably the first time in history.
After this battle, the Northern Xiongnu once again moved westward on a large scale under the leadership of Shan Yu, who escaped for his life, including the unhit Northern Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang.
Moreover, the westward migration of the Northern Xiongnu directly moved from the grassland to Central Asia, which also caused a series of changes in the local area, and even had a far-reaching impact on the European continent, which can be regarded as another flap of the wings of Lu Bu's butterfly.
However, to everyone's surprise, even Lu Bu himself did not expect that this expedition would be the last large-scale mobilization of the main force of the Bingzhou Army to participate in the grassland operation.
Since then, with the continuous expansion of the Han army's grazing troops, the number of Han civilians participating in nomadic herding has continued to increase, and more and more Southern Xiongnu people have chosen to join the servant army.
It was found that by simply plundering the grassland tribes to become slaves and robbing materials, they could quickly increase their personal wealth, which had become a shortcut to making a fortune.
The huge profits brought by the steppe warfare and the slave trade also stimulated the major landlords and wealthy families in Bingzhou, and the major chaebol families, who even privately funded and conscripted civilians, Huns and veterans to form privateer teams to capture slaves in the grasslands.
It was not even necessary for the main force of the state army to be dispatched, these privateers, nomads, and servant armies combined were enough to defeat the armies of the various tribes of the steppe.
Lü Bu tacitly approved of this practice, and even issued privateer licenses, so that privateers could legally hold a license to capture and trade, and even get military support as long as they were willing to spend money.
Lü Bu felt that this would not only encourage the martial spirit of the people, but also attract the attention of these powerful landlords and chaebols from the domestic land reform, so as long as the slave trade did not involve the Han Chinese, they did not care about the life and death of foreigners.
This also gave birth to a new profession in the grasslands, bounty hunters, who were really hunters, hunting others.
This ugly and uncivilized slave capture and slave trade, because of its huge profits, continued for many years, and one after another, the larger and larger privateer teams continued to penetrate deep into the steppes and even neighboring countries, such as Goguryeo, Samhan, and in the future, Southeast Asia.
It was not until more than 300 years later that it was canceled and banned in the midst of condemnation and scolding throughout the country.
However, the previous three hundred years had brought huge profits and wealth to the Han people, and also dealt a devastating blow to the grassland ethnic groups and neighboring countries, which directly stimulated the unprecedented prosperity and strength of the Han Empire and the overwhelming superiority of the Han population.
The merits and demerits of the merits and demerits have their own posterity to comment.
