Leaving the craftsman's workshop, Mi Heng accompanied Cao Shuo and went to several schools successively.

Since the school was once run by Pang Tong, he knew something about it, so Cao Shuo asked people to invite him over.

I have to say that Mi Heng does have some skills in domestic affairs.

Except for the problems that the craftsmen can't solve for a while, everything else in the craftsman workshop is done in an orderly manner.

Cao Shuo was once worried that the university would not be able to recruit students.

Since Mi Heng took charge of the affairs of the school, there have been quite a few students recruited.

On the grounds of the military attache academy, hundreds of young men in armor were practicing.

Their pace is neat, every movement is extremely standard, just look at the skill of the drill, even the Flying Bear Battalion is inferior to them.

"If these people are dragged out to fight, they can become an elite army that will make the enemy fearful." Looking at the military attache trainees who were practicing, Cao Shuo asked Mi Heng, "How long is the batch?" What are you going to do with them after you leave here? ”

"In batches of three years, they will be integrated into the army after leaving the school." Mi Heng said: "At first, he was a long man, and he made military achievements and then gradually promoted to the rank of official. ”

This method is not much different from the military academy in the future.

The cadets who have gone out of the military attache academy have only entered the army, and their starting point is much higher than that of the soldiers who are directly involved in the army, and their future career will definitely be smoother.

With these benefits, more and more people are willing to enter military academies.

Even some soldiers who had been assigned to various military villages due to their young age returned to Shouchun, hoping to be admitted to this school.

There is no shortage of cadets in military attaché academies, and the assessment is even very strict, and many people who want to enter the academy are blocked from the academy due to various unqualified conditions.

"How many talents can be cultivated each year in a three-year batch?" Accompanied by Mi Heng, while inspecting the military attache academy, Cao Shuo asked.

"About 500 people are trained every year." Mi Heng said: "Incorporated into the army, you can lead 5,000 soldiers. ”

"There are a lot of people." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "After three or five years, my soldiers are not enough to lead the officers who go out from here." ”

"There will always be some people who will be rewarded for their exploits." Mi Heng said: "There are also some people who will quit the military or even die on the battlefield. There are now tens of thousands of troops under Gongzi's command, and the number has actually exceeded that of the Yuan family in Hebei, but most of the soldiers have been assigned to military villages in various places, and there are more than 30,000 standing troops. Ten years from now, the officers trained here may not be enough to be assigned to the army. ”

"Years of conquest have led to a sharp decline in the population of the Central Plains, and there are few people everywhere." Cao Shuo said: "At the beginning, the Yellow Turban thieves made trouble in order to be able to eat well. But what happens after it really gets into trouble? Many people could have survived, but then they ended up starving to death in the wilderness. Gathering an army of millions is unlikely in twenty years. ”

Mi Heng did not answer, but looked at Pang Tong, who had accompanied Cao Shuo here.

Pang Tong said: "The second emperor of Huan Ling has no way, and officials from all over the country are even more tyrannical, so that the people have no way to live. Childe is right, if there is no Yellow Turban Thief making trouble, many people will be able to survive. But no one can say exactly how long they will live. There is always a reason for chaos in the world. If they can live, who wants to let life be unstable? ”

"What does Shi Yuan think of His Majesty today?" Cao Shuo asked suddenly.

"What does Childe mean ......" Pang Tong did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

"It is said that when His Majesty was in Chang'an today, he found that someone had withheld relief food." Cao Shuo said: "The Second Emperor Huan Ling couldn't find it back then. ”

"How many of the royal descendants are stupid?" Pang Tong said: "It's not that the Second Emperor Huan Ling can't find it, but their minds are not Jiangshan Sheji at all, so they can't see or hear." His Majesty now knows very well that the Han is about to fall, and in order to survive, even if he is willing to cover his eyes and ears, the situation will not allow it. ”

Pang Tong's words reminded Cao Shuo of many dynasties he had heard of.

Before many dynasties are about to die, there will always be one or two faint kings, who will make the people in the world miserable.

In the last emperor, although he tried his best to reverse the situation, he had no choice but to watch the world fall into the hands of others.

History is always repeating itself, and those in power are always repeating the mistakes of their predecessors.

"What Shiyuan means is that the Great Han is going to die?" Cao Shuo asked in a low voice.

"It's already at this point, and there is still a reason not to die?" Pang Tong smiled slightly, and said in the same low voice: "Don't hide it from the son, I watched the stars at night and found that crape myrtle originated in Huainan ......"

Although Cao Shuo didn't know much about the astrological phenomena that Pang Tong said, he also knew what it meant that crape myrtle originated in Huainan.

He hurriedly said: "Shi Yuan, don't talk nonsense, this kind of talk spreads, but it's a big rebellion." ”

"I'm not talking nonsense." Pang Tong said: "Although crape myrtle originated in Huainan, the stars are not bright, and it is not yet time to replace the Han Dynasty. One day, the crape myrtle star will rise, the Han Dynasty will die, and another emperor will replace him. ”

Looking at Pang Tong, Cao Shuo did not show any expression on his face.

He had no affection for the Han court.

Strictly speaking, he did not belong to this dynasty, nor did he receive the benefits of the Han court, and how the court did not have much to do with him.

Leading troops to fight is nothing more than surviving in troubled times.

It's good to be able to get the world.

Even if you can't get the world, you have to find a way to settle down in the future, and you must not let the troubled times slaughter.

"How many years has Shi Yuan studied the stars?" Cao Shuo didn't answer Pang Tong's words, but asked him.

"From the time I joined the school, astrology was a must-learn." Pang Tong said: "I don't dare to say that it must be not bad, and it is also eight or nine and ten." ”

"Shi Yuan understands the stars, don't others understand?" Cao Shuo asked, "Especially Zhuge Kongming." ”

"Childe seems to be obsessed with Kong Ming." Pang Tong smiled slightly: "If I remember correctly, Kong Ming has been ploughing the mountains and wilderness, and no one looks at him except Gongzi." ”

"What kind of person I am, Shi Yuan also understands something." Cao Shuo said: "I always like to know some capable people, although Kong Ming ploughs the mountains, his reputation is not small. How could I not have heard of such a talent? ”

"Kong Ming and I are also old acquaintances." Pang Tong said: "He once said that Xu Yuanzhi and others have the ability to assassinate history, but he refused to say where he could go in the future. I also asked him what I was going to do in the future, and he smiled and said nothing. ”

"So Kong Ming doesn't dare to despise Shi Yuan?" Cao Shuo said: "He has already voted for Liu Xuande, and soon after, Shiyuan and him should have a chance to fight." ”
