After handling the distribution of officials in the counties and towns under his jurisdiction, Liu Yi simply divided the labor of Cheng Yu and others.

Among them, Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai must be in charge of the government affairs of the county, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are responsible for refining the soldiers, Wang San is responsible for the security of the county, and Cui Si is responsible for finding out the news, and piggybacking on the operation of various wine inns to supplement military supplies.

After Liu Yu took office, he advocated the "Huairou policy" to treat the local nomads, so he had a high reputation among foreign tribes such as Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Fuyu.

In order to get close to Liu Yu and gain the recognition of the Hu people in the future, Liu Yi adopted Cheng Yu's suggestion, and on the one hand threatened to support Liu Yu's Huairou policy, and on the other hand, sent caravans to communicate with the Hu people.

Because Yao Lie was the only one who had the most dealings with the Hu people in the north, Liu Yi put Yao Lie in charge of trading with the Hu people.

On the grassland north of Youzhou, there are many large and small tribes in the Xianbei tribe.

In the years of war between the Xianbei people in Youzhou, the people on both sides of the border can be said to be miserable, and they both hate both sides.

The people of Youzhou near the border were often plundered by the Xianbei people, and ordinary caravans did not dare to do business in the territory of the Hu people, for fear that the things would be robbed before they were sold.

In order to ensure the safety of the caravan, the entire caravan was dressed up with poisonous scorpions.

As a nomadic people, from a military point of view, they were mainly cavalry, with a mobile advantage, and they were all barbaric and fierce, so the farming people at that time often could not defeat the nomads.

However, economically, the nomads do not have enough agriculture and resources, so they can only rely on animal husbandry as their main industry, and some daily necessities such as pots and pans, silk and satin can only be relied on to go to the interior to rob.

The items carried in the caravan dressed up by the scorpion group were these "in-demand goods"

In addition to the simple arrangement of the people around him, there is another person, whose arrival makes Liu Yi and others also very happy.

That is Lu Duyou, who has helped Liu Yi and is Cui Si's father-in-law.

Since the dismissal of the former county guard Liu, Lu Duyou came to Zhuo County to defect to Liu Yi.

For the arrival of Lu Duyou, Liu Yi and others expressed a warm welcome.

Because Lu Duyou has experience as an official, Liu Yi still lets him sit in the post of post superintendent, and helps Liu Yi inspect the situation in several subordinate counties when he is fine.

After arranging these, Liu Yi implemented the previous land policy in the whole county.

In the process of dividing the land to households, many local landlords and gentry protested to Liu Yi, and even tried to use force to oppose Liu Yi's resumption of his land.

At the suggestion of Xi Zhicai, Liu Yi bought the land of those landlords and gentry with a lot of money and distributed it to the people, of course, there are also "nail households" who sit on the land and start the price. However, these nail households finally asked Zhang Fei to lead the troops to clean up.

Seeing that Liu Yi was determined to promote his land reform, some gentry who were unhappy in their hearts angrily left Zhuo County with their money and went elsewhere, which made Liu Yi depressed for a long time.

Although the cost is great, the return is also gratifying.

Finally, the people who have the right to use the land are all grateful to Liu Yi, and they are full of enthusiasm.

In this way, the entire Zhuo County was finally on the right track under Liu Yi's arrangement.

May 184 A.D.

At this time, the farming has already begun to get busy.

Like last year, Liu Yi distributed the grain seeds he hoarded last year to those farmers who did not have seeds to plant the land, of course, it was not free, Liu Yi symbolically charged some fees, so as not to rely too much on Liu Yi and become lazy in the future.

Hundreds of acres of barren land were opened outside the city, and these fields were opened up by Zhang Fei and others with soldiers and used for military fields.

Mid-May.

The land in the county has been sown.

Seeing that the people were busy with the work in the field and had nothing to do, Liu Yi made plans for his next step.

One day, Liu Yi's mansion was in the meeting hall.

At this time, it was just past noon, Liu Yi, Xi Zhicai and others finished eating and chatting together as usual.

"I want to open a school palace in our city, especially for those idle children at home to study, what do you think?"

Liu Yi has been planning for a long time to run a school palace, but because he has been too busy recently, and many children from peasant families have to help with farming before, Liu Yi did not mention it. At this time, the farming was over, and the people everywhere began to be idle, so Liu Yi brought up the matter of the school palace.

"Back to the lord, since the Zhou Dynasty, the government has an itch, order, school for the children of the nobility to read and write, during the Warring States Period, Qi Huan Gong Tian Wu is in the national capital set up the famous Jixia School Palace, attracting celebrities from all over the world, can be described as a hundred schools of thought. The lord can have the intention of setting up a school palace, but in fact, he is following the way of the sages, and he will definitely attract a large number of celebrities and righteous people to come."

Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Liu Yi laughed, very happy in his heart, thinking that he was currently short of people, and it would be better if he could recruit some more capable people from another world.

Seeing Liu Yi's happy appearance, Xi Zhicai's voice changed and poured cold water on Liu Yi.

"It's just that the original intention of opening the school palace is to recruit and cultivate talents, but judging from our current situation, who can take on the important task of opening a lecture?"

Cheng Yu on the side also nodded in agreement when he heard this.

Hearing this, Liu Yi pointed to Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai.

"Aren't you two okay?"

Seeing this, Cheng Yu and the others hurriedly shook their heads.

"My lord, if you want to give a lecture, you have to be a sage and a famous person, with the level of me and Zhicai, I can't reach this level yet."

Hearing what Cheng Yu said, Liu Yi was deflated.

"Then we don't run a university, only let the children read and write, can this always be done?"

Cheng Yu and the two glanced at each other when they heard this, and then nodded.

Seeing that the two agreed, Liu Yi discussed with the two about setting up a school.

Zhang Fei and a few people on the side, seeing that it was not interesting, and they couldn't help much, so they said goodbye to Liu Yi and the others and went out to practice.

Liu Yi's mansion was built in the center of the city, and the original training ground was opposite the mansion, but because of the increasing number of soldiers, the previous training ground was a little crowded.

In order to allow the soldiers to get better training, Liu Yi moved the school training ground to an empty space in the northwest corner of the city, and the vacant land was selected by Liu Yi as the address of the school palace.

The school palace was built in the style of the elementary school that Liu Yi attended when he was a child, with a row of one-story bungalows as houses, a playground and a canteen, and a place for Mr. Teaching to rest.

After nearly a month of construction, a school palace that can accommodate hundreds of people has finally been built.

The next step is to beckon students and teachers.

At first, Liu Yi wanted Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai to serve as the teachers of the first batch of school palaces, but when he looked back, he gave up this idea when he thought about treating the two of them like this.

Liu Yi sent Cui Si to visit all parts of Zhuo County, found some so-called "celebrities", and then selected a few old gentlemen who had passed the character test to be the first batch of teachers in the school palace.

After finding the teacher, the next step is the question of the student.

Liu Yi originally wanted to educate the children of those ordinary families for free, but after the notice was posted, after more than ten days, except for Cheng Yu's son Cheng Wu, there was not a single student in the entire school palace.

Liu Yi wondered in his heart, thinking to himself why no one had participated in such a good thing!

Hurriedly found Cheng Yu and the two to discuss.

After some discussion, the three finally found out the crux of the problem.

At that time, people didn't pay much attention to education, thinking that it was better to let their children go to school, and it was better to pick up some water and firewood at home to get more benefits, so Liu Yi's notice, the people also laughed, and no one let their children go to Liu Yi's school palace to study.

After finding the reason, Liu Yi couldn't help but feel sad for the ignorance of these people. In connection with the current situation, Liu Yi can't help but think of many rural parents in his previous life, in order to let their children herd cattle and pigs at home, they let their children drop out of school despite the teacher's request, which is the case in modern times, not to mention the ancient times when education was not opened.

But the school palace has been built, and the teacher has also been invited, so he won't do it at this time, and that is not Liu Yi's character.

In the end, in desperation, Liu Yi could only post another notice.

"Children over the age of nine, children under the age of thirteen, but anyone who comes to the school palace to study, not only free of food and accommodation, but also ten yuan per person per month!"

Before deciding to write the notice, Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai tried their best to dissuade Liu Yi, saying that there might be problems with the source of students recruited with money.

Liu Yi had seen the power of the "nine-year compulsory education" policy in his previous life, so he made his own decision despite the opposition of the two.

As soon as the notice came out, seeing that there was a good thing to help raise children and pay back the money, the people in the county sent their children to Liu Yi one after another.

Seeing the endless stream of students pouring into the school palace, Liu Yi couldn't help but have a big head.

"This is fucking running for my little bit of money!"

After scolding, Liu Yi walked to the place where the students registered, only to see that Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai were already busy sweating, and Zhang Fei and others who came to help were also very busy.

"You can't! Get out of here! Zhang Fei pointed to a young man beside him and shouted.

Hearing Zhang Fei say that he couldn't enter the school palace to study, that person was suddenly reluctant and began to shout.

"My lord, why can't I?"

When Zhang Fei heard this, he pointed at the man's chin and scolded, "Your beard is longer than mine, and you told me that you are ten years old this year?" ”

When the man saw Zhang Fei's fierce and vicious appearance, the man shrunk his neck and didn't dare to quibble, and hurriedly withdrew from the courtyard of the school palace.

For several days, countless people poured into the city with their children, and many of them were people who had passed their age like the one just now but wanted to get in for the ten dollars of silver a month.

In the end, after repeated confirmation by everyone, there were still nearly six or seven hundred children between the ages of nine and thirteen left in the playground.

Seeing that these children were looking at Liu Yi standing on the high platform with ignorant eyes. Liu Yi suddenly wanted to cry without tears.

"Damn, I'm fine, what can I do!"
