Chapter 3 Troubled Times Verse 72 Karma

Frustrated, he stood up and said angrily: "I'll go, I'm going to tell the lord that the lord will take turns to mobilize the Izumo military generals, so that the generals will not specialize in the army, and prevent the generals from supporting the army and respecting themselves." However, Izumo is lonely in western Liaoxi, and internal affairs are always dominated by a few people, and if you don't take precautions, you will inevitably have trouble for a long time. He was willing to prevent this misfortune for the Lord and served for five years, and after five years, he returned to the Lord and served the Lord for the Lord. ”

Seeing through it, I smiled a little embarrassedly and bowed to the frustrated minister: "Zizheng, in this way, Izumo no Masato will leave it to you." Within five years, if you are undecided about foreign affairs, ask Gao Shun, and if you are undecided on internal affairs, you can consult Gao Yuanting (Gao Shan) and Yin Zhiping (Yin Dong), they are all from the same division as me, and they will give you a satisfactory answer.

Within five years, the place where Izumo trained his troops was the prairie, and a plan could be drawn up every year to let Zhao Zilong and Gao Minglei take turns to attack, harass the prairie, and seize land. Starting next year, once my White Wolf Stone Fort is completed, I have a plan to develop the White Wolf as a way to attract displaced people to settle down. You note that within five years, in order to attract displaced people to settle down, all ownerless land will be on a first-come, first-served basis; Whoever has invested considerable labor and development in this ownerless land shall belong to that person. Within 10 years, newly developed land is exempt from tax. ”

With this type of development, it seems that the government suffers a loss – someone else occupies the land, but the government does not get a penny, and it has to provide military protection to others. However, the wasteland was not owned by the government, and the government could not have received the money. After the development in this way, a large number of displaced people came to settle here, allowing the government to save the cost of resettlement. The displaced people worked hard to manage the land, and although they did not pay a penny in tax, they consumed a large amount of daily necessities. After 10 years, when their land is well managed, they can afford to pay taxes. After 15 years of military protection by the government, they will also consciously and voluntarily pay taxes. As long as the tax burden is light, even in the bitter cold land of western Liaoning, the displaced people will be willing to settle. In this way, our colonization plan can be successfully completed.

"Zizheng, before you leave, discuss with Fu Hao, Zitai, and Xianhe, what policies should be implemented in Qingzhou within five years? I have an idea, first of all, a plan to educate the people, to encourage the people, scholars to run private schools, and the Qingzhou government government will contribute another amount of money to run an official school. This official school is called Qingzhou Government School.

Guan Youan sorted out the classics in Izumo and invented a kind of punctuation mark for breaking sentences. Izumo printed a large number of paper books with new punctuation, which were not available for sale during the war. We'll buy it all and run the third-level school.

The first-level school is a civilian school, which is run by the county officials. In the Civilian Academy, students must learn the commonly used 300 words and simple addition and subtraction (equivalent to the first grade of elementary school).

The second level is the meritorious school, which is handled by each meritorious person at their own expense, and the person who is allowed to charge tuition fees as the daily expenses of the school. Those who are allowed to add their own names in front of the name of the school, such as: Zitai in Guangrao's funded school, can be called "Guangrao Tianchou Gongmin School". Those who have come out of the Civilian Academy can continue to study in the Gongmin Academy. The children of meritorious people can apply to the government, and the government will pay half of the tuition fees.

The third level is the Shizi School, which is handled by reference to the Gongmin School.

The Qingzhou government funded two types of schools, one is the Qingzhou Scout Academy, which recruits qualified children of meritorious people, scholars, and nobles, study, and receive military training, and the Scout Military Academy is allocated a certain number of places in each township and county every year, and is recommended by the township and county elders, and is allowed to enroll after passing the assessment. After graduation, the Scouts will directly enjoy the status of meritorious citizens. You can directly enter the Izumo Military Academy and Qingzhou Military Academy to study.

Another kind of school funded by the Qingzhou government is the Qingzhou aristocratic school, which is divided into Wenyuantang and Yanwutang, Wenyuantang learns the art of art and government management, trains scribes for us, and Yanwutang trains samurai for us. Students who come out of the Gongmin School can enter the Qingzhou Noble School to continue their studies after passing the assessment.

For the aristocratic school, I personally donated a library (library) in Yanwutang, and donated my books in the Izumo Castle Lord's Mansion, and in addition, I also contributed the money to build the library. This library is named "Xuande Book Building".

In addition, as far as I know, Gao Shan Gao Yuan Pavilion has a lot of money in recent years, and it is up to me to make him donate a Gewu (Physics Research) Institute in Wenyuan Hall. It was named "Yuanting Gewuyuan".

It was decreed that all civilians and above must send their children to school for study, otherwise their qualifications would be revoked. We spent five years teaching the people of Qingzhou and Izumo to love their women and children, follow the law, and protect their homeland. ”

Guan Yu, who had not spoken all the time, heard this, and said suspiciously: "Big brother, 'follow the law and protect your homeland', this is understandable, why do you want to teach them to love their women and children." The eldest husband is ambitious, how can he always talk to me with his own women and children. ”

Zhang Fei bit his fingers and nodded again and again: "Is the eldest brother pestering his sister-in-law too much, so he wants to propose to love his own women and children?" ”

Dizzy, this butcher Zhang, is really unkind to speak.

I replied with a straight face: "The so-called country, thousands of households. The country is made up of thousands of families, how can you love your family if you don't love your women and children? If you don't love your home, how can you love your country? If a person doesn't even want to protect his own women and children, how can he be expected to defend his homeland, not even protect his homeland, how can he be expected to contribute to the country. Therefore, the ancients said: The foundation of the country lies in the body, the body and the family, and the country for the world. Therefore, it is said: take the body as the home, take the family as the country, and take the country as the world ("Lu's Spring and Autumn Guigong").

The so-called ruler of the country should be like governing the family, one household is well governed, thousands of households are governed, and the country is naturally governed. Fang is in chaos today, and the people's hearts are not ancient, if we wait for the places that can be seen in front of the people's eyes - wives, children, and homes to start governing. Run a good household, and promote it to thousands of households. Qingzhou Wanmin music, then Qingzhou music, we are also happy.

Frustrated Tian Feng nodded again and again: "In this way, the governance of Qingzhou should be as light as a weight." ”

Knowing this truth, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stopped talking, and Zhang Fei continued to bite his fingers, his eyes rolling wildly.

"Also, the taxes paid to the imperial court this year, I see that the counties and acres of land have been concealed from the imperial court, and I don't want to be effective in the future, and they will also conceal it from me in the future. I decided to truthfully declare the acres of land to the imperial court. As for the tax, discuss it with the imperial court, and we will compensate for it with a part in kind. After I finished my opinion, I asked, "Guys, what else to add?" ”

Liu Hun nodded and asked, "Father, the Bull Clan and the Eagle Clan all have rewards for this battle, do you want to give us some rewards for the Tianma Clan?" ”

I reprimanded unhappily and said: "Hun'er, no reward for no merit, this is an iron law, the Tianma tribe has no merit and Izumo in this battle, how to reward?" Besides, as my righteous son, you have to take a long-term view, and the Tianma tribe that always stares at you will be just a little chief all your life. How can I be reassured? ”

These words obviously showed the intention of entrusting the world, and when Tian Feng Jianyong heard this, his face sank, and he was about to stand up to object. I waved my hand and stopped them.

"Listen," I pointed to Liu Hun and said, "There will be no major war in Qingzhou in five years, you go to Qingzhou School to study for me for five years, and you have to go to school as an ordinary student." Among your classmates in school, if you have the talent to govern the country, you should pay attention to it. When you reach adulthood, if you have a talent, I will give you a place to govern. If you have the talent of the world, if you can benefit the people of the world, I will hand over the world to you, why not? ”

Tian Feng jumped up: "It's not proper, the lord also needs to abide by the law, Liu Hun inherited the lord's family business, which is inconsistent with the eldest son inheritance law." Liu Hun, the lord can spend money to train him to earn a living, and his own family business needs to be obtained by himself. ”

"The world is not the world of one person, and the world of the world is also ("Lu's Spring and Autumn Guigong"). Qingzhou belongs to Gongzhou Mu, he is the Son of Heaven to guard Qingzhou, and I am Gongzhou Mu for the benefit of the people of Qingzhou. Izumo, although I founded it single-handedly, however, there are no big or small countries in the world, and they are all in the sky; No one is young, noble, or low, and all are ministers of heaven ("Lü's Spring and Autumn Shunmin"). Izumo is still the land of the Son of Heaven, but it is under my jurisdiction.

The king is not a gentleman, the son of heaven is not a son of heaven, and the official is not a official. The Son of Heaven benefits the world, the monarch benefits the country, and the officials benefit the officials. If Hun Er has the ability to govern Izumo and bring peace and happiness to all the people of Izumo, why not let him govern? I replied with a sigh of relief.

Liu Hun burst into tears, knelt down and kowtowed: "The child knows that his father loves me today, and the father can rest assured that the child must study hard. If you don't have this ability, you will do your best to assist your father and children and govern the world. ”

Frustrated Tian Feng and Jian Yong glanced at each other, and Frustrated gave him a reluctant mouth: "In this case, I have a son named Frustrated Hu, who happens to be the same age as my son, so let him accompany my son to school." ”

Zhang Fei saw that everyone had finished discussing my family affairs, and immediately interjected: "Big brother, Bingyuan is your general, I can help you build a city in the white wolf, I am still your brother, can you let me and Bingyuan take a turn, I also want to gallop on the prairie." ”

When Zhang Fei said this, Guan Yu narrowed his Danfeng eyes and bowed his head slightly. It seems that these two are not angry that Izumo four generals have won the knighthood, and they also want to prove themselves on the battlefield.

I walked to the table, pointed to the large map on the table, and explained to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "The place where Izumo trains is the prairie, and the place where we train in Qingzhou is here, the Sanhan area. Zhang He was making a battle plan, and the first to wait for the battle was the coalition army led by him. Our plan is to train our soldiers through rotational warfare, unify Samhan by the way, and establish Wanghai Fortress in the direction of Gayage. If possible, we will take Lelang County. The Central Plains was in turmoil, and most of the wealthy families in Qingzhou fled to Lelang to rest, and we have no shortage of supporters in Lelang. After taking the waves, unifying Samhan, and making this isolated and vulnerable peninsula our granary, we have completed the strategic defense in depth of Cheongju.

If the two brothers plan to go to the White Wolf to fight, the war between the three Koreas will be borne by Zhang He. Otherwise, the target of our training in Qingzhou should be Sanhan. ”

Guan Yu coughed and opened his mouth: "Fighting in the island country, I am not familiar with the geography of Yide, so I can't help." I am willing to go to the grassland to train soldiers, make meritorious contributions, and plunder land for my eldest brother. Izumo, we've been there, and the impression is good, and the lieutenants who joined the army are also from Izumo, and the geography is very familiar. The horse grassland is just right for training cavalry. ”

"Well, that's it, that's it. We recruit recruits, and in two years, you and Yide will train separately, and in the third year, we will recall Guan Bingyuan, and you two will go to the same white wolf to see if the recruits you train are useful. I nodded in agreement.

At the beginning of spring, Liu Zhou's caravan to collect seeds in Yizhou will soon return to Qingzhou, and we have five years to vigorously develop agriculture, develop cash crops, develop commerce, and train troops and military exercises.

Five years, I have five years, waiting for the world to be in chaos.

************

In Izumo, on the banks of the Western Liao River (near present-day Tongliao), the defeated White Wolf tribe discarded all their livestock and baggage, leaving only the horses under the warriors that had not yet been discarded. Tuli, who was alone and lonely, was in a state of panic, and behind him, Zhao Yun's chasing light cavalry was less than 20 miles away from them.

The dejected Tuli sat on the edge of the Xiliao River, sighing incessantly, how could a sudden raid crash into the encirclement of Izumo? What is especially hateful is that Izumo has shown great strength in this counterattack, which has terrified the surrounding small tribes. In order to curry favor with Izumo and for the promised money in the reward, the various small tribes gathered warriors and kept pouring in like flies, so that the white wolf tribe was not at peace for a moment.

The small tribes whose strength was not strong enough to challenge the White Wolf Tribe alone simply took up the job of a guide and led the way for the troops pursued by Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun's light horse, which continued Izumo's rolling pursuit, continued to attack the white wolf tribe one after another, and had the momentum of chasing and killing to the end, forcing the tribe to abandon all its baggage.

"Is this how we are exterminating?" Tuli thought about it gloomily.

Poeller led several tribal warriors and walked from afar: "Tuli Shan Yu, the Great Bear's troops are in hot pursuit, what should we do?" Are our tribes going to be wiped out? ”

Tuli stared at the flowing river and replied without raising his head: "Poehler, is there anything we can do now?" ”

Behind him, Poeller replied, "I just discussed it with the elders, and perhaps, there is a way to get us out of this situation. ”

Tuli suddenly raised his head and asked with great joy, "What way?" ”

Looking at the flickering eyes of the tribal warriors, Tuli understood: "You, do you want my head?" ”

Poeller replied resolutely: "Yes, the White Wolf tribe is under your leadership to attack the Great Bear's troops, if we take your head, we will not only be able to appease the Great Bear's anger, but also get a reward." We, the White Wolf Clan, will regain our strength with these rewards. So, for the survival of the clan, we need you to contribute your head. ”

Tuli replied slowly: "Poeller, I treat you well on weekdays, let you be the first warrior of the tribe, today I am at the end of my rope, do you treat me like this?" ”

Pohler laughed out loud: "Da Xiong, Li Ao and others treat you well on weekdays, you attack him, and you still have a clear conscience, let alone me?" For the survival of your clan, give your head. ”

Poehler's words made Tuli feel utter hopeless, and a feeling of "retribution" suddenly rose in his heart. "Retribution, let me solve it myself." He said slowly, his hero life, no matter what, did not die on the battlefield, and he must not die in the hands of his own people, if he wants to die, he must commit suicide by honor.

"Take my head and tell the Great Bear, perhaps, in exchange for the safety of the tribe. However, I remind you that the revenge of the Great Bear is brutal, and you bring my head over, and it is better to bring half of the tribe back to him. In this way, if the bear gets angry, we can save half of the tribe and bring the women and children with us. The young men kept the battle, the fire of the tribe. Tell the remaining warriors of the tribe: Do not destroy the bear, and swear not to be human. Slowly, he stabbed his sword into his chest.

Pole stood beside Tuli's corpse and saluted respectfully: "Tuli Shanyu, we will definitely remember your words: do not destroy the Great Bear, and swear not to be human." ”

After receiving Tuli's head, Zhao Yun looked at Poehler's team and smiled faintly: "Look at the team you brought, I know that you are still wary." However, you can rest assured that we will absolutely abide by the orders of the city lord. We'll pay you the bounty.

However, you yourself are the ones who participated in the attack on our fat city, and your head is within the range of our bounty, and we may not attack you, but we will not stop the tribe that follows us and gives your head in exchange for a bounty. This is their power. Out of this camp, I don't guarantee your safety. ”

After speaking, Zhao Yun approached Pole's ear and said mockingly: "I can do something for you to ensure that you are not attacked on the way home." ”

Straightening up, Zhao Yun ordered: "I announce that anyone who can follow them and track down the base camp of the White Wolf Tribe will have the bounty doubled." ”

Turning around, Zhao Yun smiled coldly and said, "It's spring, we have enough time to play hide and seek with you, and you will be followed by no less than 50,000 Xianbei cavalry, waiting for you and the rest of the tribe to converge." We have enough patience to wait for you to meet. The fate of the White Wolf Clan has been decided since you betrayed us and attacked us. ”

Poehler stood there pale, not knowing what to say. After a betrayal, how can one believe that he is no longer betrayed? What else could he say in such a situation?

Zhao Yun turned around and walked into the back tent. A lieutenant stepped forward and asked, "General Zhao, why do we have to explain to the White Wolf Clan face to face, why don't we order the tribes to follow them behind our backs, and then mobilize a large army to quietly defend them?" ”

Zhao Yun smiled and shook his head, and replied: "You all don't understand the battle intentions of the lord, in this battle, the lord does not want to completely exterminate the grassland tribe. I just want to teach the raiding tribes a clear lesson. We must make them aware of our willingness to retaliate. So, it's a grand battle. What we need to do is to keep the steppe tribes on the alert and reduce their raids on us. Therefore, all punishment must be revealed in the presence of the tribes. For a year, let these people wander the steppes and starve, as a declaration of our wrath to the tribes."

Zhao Yun walked to the tent, looked at the gloomy sky in the distance, and said worriedly: "The battle with the grassland tribes has just begun. The Lord has made a good start, and we are going to continue it well. This battle may be fought for hundreds of years, hundreds of years, this is just the beginning. ”

Zhao Yun is half right, our battle will be long, but the battle with the grassland tribes has not only lasted for hundreds of years, it has lasted for 1,600 years.
