Chapter 141: Fast Forward a Year and a Half
After the wedding of Cao De and Cai Wenji, Cao De entered a happy life. In the blink of an eye www.biquge.info time flew to April 187 AD. It's been a year and a half since Cao De and Cai Wenji's wedding!
In this year and a half, the environment of the entire territory of the Han Dynasty was still in a relatively peaceful period. Although there were still sporadic peasant uprisings in various parts of the Central Plains, they were quickly exterminated by the Han court!
Although the Han region is not peaceful, God has taken good care of the people of the Han Dynasty this year. This year, the wind and rain in various parts of Dahan have been smooth, although there are some wars, but the harvest of the people is okay.
And most of the people who rioted were unwilling to be rebellious.
To this end, Liu Hong issued a summons that wherever there was a rebellion among the people, the local government could organize its own army to suppress the rebellion on a county basis.
After this summons was issued, the authority of the county guards in various places became greater. In this way, the riots were quickly suppressed after they had little impact. At the same time, many of the Taishou rebels raised armies in order to prevent riots under their rule.
All of a sudden, there are many talented people all over the country!
However, there is another important thing for Cao De, that is, Cao Cao, who was far away in Jinan as the minister of Jinan, resigned!
The general trend of history has basically not deviated from the original track.
After Cao Cao took office as the prime minister of Jinan, he replaced a large number of county orders of Jinan with vigor and resoluteness, so that the administration of Jinan was well improved. However, later, for some reason, Cao Cao suddenly resigned, and Cao De also guessed according to the reasons passed down in his previous life that Cao Cao was probably because of the mediocrity of the imperial court. However, Cao De didn't write to ask about this matter.
After Cao Cao resigned, he did not go to Hanzhong to find Cao De to complain about his unhappiness, but returned directly to his hometown in Qiao County to serve his father.
After Cao De learned of Cao Cao's whereabouts, he sent someone to send a large number of daily necessities and other things to his hometown in Qiao County. Let's talk about Cao De's thoughts.
But Hanzhong County is still very stable. During this short but not short period of time, Cao De actively devoted himself to the civil work of Hanzhong County.
During this time. Taking grain as an example, the official warehouses belonging to the Hanzhong County Government have expanded to more than 300. As for the other types of warehouses, there are countless more.
The soldiers of Hanzhong County also changed their equipment almost completely during this time. And several of Cao De's generals are even more open-ended.
However, the bright silver armor still belonged to Zhao Yun, and the purple one belonged to Cao De. As for the rest, it was all black.
On the other hand, Cao De also increased the training of soldiers during this time. Prepare for the coming big war!
During this time, Cao De's men and horses expanded to 90,000! If you add the 40,000 troops hiding in the mountains of Guanghan County and Shu County, Cao De already has an army of 130,000!
Don't just look at the number 130,000! Among the 130,000 troops, only the 50,000 people in the Five Elements Camp were mostly born in Hanzhong County. The remaining 80,000 men were made up of Yellow Turban captives.
Judging from the population of less than 400,000 in Hanzhong County, Cao De's expansion of the army to 130,000 was really frustrating. But to be precise, Cao De's Hanzhong County only needed to support an army of 60,000 people. Because except for the 50,000 people in the Five Elements Battalion and the 10,000 cavalry under Zhao Yun's Zi Rat Cavalry, who are not engaged in labor and only training, the remaining 70,000 soldiers in the Five Elements Battalion need to be tuntian. There are still nearly 80,000 people left in the labor camps, which have been replenished and conscripted many times. These 80,000 people are completely tuntian soldiers, and they only train when the farm is slack.
And the generals under Cao De have also made adjustments.
The Five Elements Battalion, divided into five battalions, each battalion has 10,000 people, and the commander is Cao Ren! The Five Elements Camp was formed by Cao De before he conquered Yizhou in the south.
Next up is the Five Instruments Camp! The commander is Zhang Fei! The five-weapon battalion is divided into the Heavy Hammer Battalion, the Blade Battalion, the Sword Battalion, the Sharp Spear Battalion and the Solid Shield Battalion!
Among them, there are only 6,000 men and horses in the heavy hammer auxiliary battalion, but these 6,000 men and horses are brushed down from the heavy hammer main camp. The soldiers of the Heavy Hammer Battalion were selected from the entire five-weapon battalion of 10,000 people, of which 4,000 were incorporated into the main camp and became the personal guards of the various commanders. The remaining 6,000 men were organized into a sub-battalion and acted together with the remaining four battalions!
I have to say more here, Cao De's original goal of building the Hammer Battalion into a special terrain special combat team completely failed! Because there's really no such thing as a proper training method! When Cao De spent a lot of money to train the main camp for a few months, the effect was very different from Cao De's imagination!
Therefore, Cao De had no choice but to dispel this idea. But the soldiers in the main battalion were clearly better at fighting than the soldiers in the other battalions. As long as they don't engage in skirmishes or plains battles!
As for the remaining four battalions in the five-weapon battalion, except for the blade battalion and the sharp-spear battalion, which were still 20,000 people, the remaining two battalions were reduced to 10,000 people.
And the Gudun Battalion was established by Cao De for Wei Yan! Wei Yan has been introduced by Cao De and has already worshipped Xu Shu as a teacher. And Wei Yan did show his due talent. Cao De estimates that the current Wei Yan is almost the same as the Zhao Kuo who talks on paper, as long as Wei Yan is allowed to experience a few more real wars, I believe that Wei Yan's achievements in this life will definitely be more brilliant than the original history!
During this time, Cao De also maintained close contact with Ma Teng, who was far away in Wuwei, so Cao De finally formed the first cavalry team of 10,000 people. Cao De named the rat ride! The commander is Zhao Yun!
In the past year and a half, Hanzhong County has developed not only its economy and military. Cao De, the family of Hanzhong Taishou, has two new members!
After Cao De and Cai Wenji got married, Cao De worked during the day and made people at night. I'm tired all day.
I still need to say a few more words here, Cao De posted a notice the day after he and Cai Wenji went to the cave! Ren Hongchang has always been Cao De's original wife, while Cai Wenji can only be a concubine.
Cao De's notice did not cause any disturbance among the people, what does it have to do with the housework of your Cao De's family, us ordinary people who face the loess with their backs to the sky. However, this news caused an uproar in the General's Palace.
First, Jia Xu found Cao De and persuaded Cao De. How can you play like this? Don't you know how much energy Cai Yong has behind Cai Wenji? Ren Hongchang is just a dancer, and she should be able to understand if she is a little wronged. But Cai Wenji is a real lady, but now she is a concubine. If Cai Yong doesn't care about you in a fit of anger, you won't be able to cry back.
Before Jia Xu finished speaking, Xun Yu also came. Looking at Xun Yu's meaning, he should also be here to persuade Cao De.
Then Cao De sent people to invite Ren Hongchang, Cai Wenji and Cai Yong. Then in front of everyone, he said the sentence again, "The poor and lowly friends must not be abolished, and the wives of the chaff must not be abandoned." If I Cao De marries Wen Ji and has to wronged Hongchang, then my father-in-law may not agree to my marriage to Wen Ji. ”
And Cai Yong also nodded immediately, admitting that Cai Wenji's identity had been negotiated a long time ago, and he had no opinion.
Now that the old man has no opinion, Jia Xu and Xun Yu have no opinion. And Jia Xu looked at Cao De's firm application. I secretly said in my heart, 'Anbang, I really didn't mistake you. ’
Now that Cao De's reputation has finally started, he no longer has to care about what others say. Even if there are rumors, they can't defeat the 130,000 army under Cao De's command, no!
As the saying goes, men are animals who like the new and hate the old, Cao De just ate Cai Wenji, of course, he has to have a good time. So soon Cai Wenji had a baby in her belly. Cao De had no choice, so he went to toss Ren Hongchang.
The sad Cao De soon discovered that Ren Hongchang also had a little life in his belly!
So, Cao De could only rely on it!
At first, Cao De chose four words for his son, "prosperous and prosperous," so Cao De's first son was called Cao Fan. Now Cao De's two beautiful wives have each given birth to a daughter to Cao De. Cao De came up with another word: "Splendid rivers and mountains!" ”
Therefore, the eldest daughter of Cao De and Cai Wenji was named Cao Jin, and the second daughter of Ren Hongchang was named Cao Xiu!
Now Cao De's eldest son Cao Fan is two and a half years old, and the two daughters who are two months apart, the youngest is almost five months old.
Cao Fan's favorite thing now is to tease his two younger sisters with Cao De, it's late! Whenever an outsider wants to get close to the two little babies, Cao Fan stands in front of the two younger sisters! Use a childish voice to warn them not to come close.
Because Cao De was instilled by his parents when he was young, he couldn't let others bully his sister. And Cao De always reminded Cao Fan. "Fan'er, are you a man! To be manly is to protect your loved ones from the slightest bullying! Fan'er, you must protect your two mothers and sisters no matter what! ”
And every time Cao Fan stood in front of Cao Jin and Cao Xiu, Cao De would show a mysterious smile.
Cao De looked at Cao Fan as if he saw his previous life and his sister in his previous life!
And there is another high-profile event that happened in Hanzhong County, that is, Nanzheng Academy finally opened to recruit students after the end of this year.
Nanzheng Academy is located at the intersection of the water and the water outside the south gate of Nanzheng City. And Nanzheng Academy began to recruit students from the entire Hanzhong County, which also indicates that the paper problem of books has been solved!
This means that the students in Nanzheng Academy no longer need to shake their heads while holding heavy bamboo slips, and now they only need a thin book.
The dean of Nan Zheng Academy was none other than Cai Yong, a university scholar at the time. And Cao De just hangs on the position of an honorary dean.
Most of the priests who served as teachers in the academy were also many of Cai Yong's disciples. Cao De also once ordered Jia Xu, Xun Yu, and Xu Shu to go to the academy to chat when they were idle. But do they really have time to spare?
In the past few months since the opening of Nanzheng Academy, Cao De is the only one who has gone to make a cameo appearance in the sacrificial wine!
The enrollment of Nan Zheng Academy is also very interesting. The first is that Nanzheng Academy has no gateway view, whether you are the child of a high-ranking official or an ordinary person, you will have a chance to be admitted when you come. This is a precedent for the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Although Yingchuan and other academies also have such practices, they do not recruit students from all over the country after all!
Then there are the ordinary people of Hanzhong County, as long as the government is on the record, as long as the family relies on labor to eat, they will go to school for free; The children of Hanzhong County, the children of eunuchs, wealthy merchants, etc., have to pay twice the tuition fee; And those small landlords and small rich households are paying the fees normally.
As for students from other counties, all children from poor families will pay the fees normally; After the children of the family and the eunuchs, they need to pay five times the fee; Merchants then pay three times as much.
In addition, children from poor families who come from outside the county can apply for free scholarship. This is for people who are really studious but whose families are really poor.
And this free scholarship is subject to strict approval. If it is found that there is fraud, it is necessary to pay a deception fee of 10 times the tuition fee. If you don't pay it, there is an open space in my Hanzhong prison! Let's talk about it for ten years and eight years. Don't think it's just going to prison, it's still Tuntian after eating half full.
In addition, due to the closed management of the college, all students are required to live in the college. Therefore, rich children eat, drink, live and study under the same roof as poor children, and it is Cao De's greatest wish to let the students eliminate the view of the door!
If there is an incident of a rich child bullying a poor child, the light will be severely fined, and the tuition fee will be twice this year! The heavier ones are fined twice the tuition fee first, and then get out! If you don't pay it, you can! Let's go to a labor camp for ten or eight years of labor reform!
Cao De's hand is really black, and he first used Cai Yong's name to recruit you. Then I don't believe that you children of the family don't make some mistakes, as long as you make mistakes, it's better to pay the fine honestly, or you will wait for your children to go to the field to farm. In case your child is lucky, I will be conscripted into the army. And then die, and the fun will be great!
Cao De is going to use Nanzheng Academy to make money! Cao De's ugly face of violently collecting money is undoubtedly exposed!
In addition, the curriculum offered by Nan Zheng Academy is also different.
What's more curious is the new arithmetic and pinyin!
The arithmetic table that the first-grade students of the previous elementary school could memorize backwards was moved out by Cao De!
The first thing Cao De taught was Cai Yong and Cai Wenji!
Just when Cai Yong and Cai Wenji were looking at the formula in front of them in a daze, Cao De took out the pinyin again.
Originally, Cai Yong and Cai Wenji were still confused about those formulas, but Cao De actually took out some even stranger symbols!
Cao De looked at the two people who fell into the muddy basin, Cao De smiled and explained to the two of them in detail.
The two Cai in front of Cao De were worthy of being university scholars and talented women at that time. After Cao De spoke twice, the two suddenly realized.
Cao De was shocked by Cai Yong! First the books, then the whimsical furniture. Now it's pinyin and numbers again!
Although the arithmetic table and pinyin that Cao De took out are simple, their practicality is incomparable.
After Cai Yong learned, he taught the protégé disciples who came to the call! Soon, these two simple learning methods became unique subjects of Nanzheng Academy!
Speaking of Cai Yong's protégés who came to the call. Cao De looked at these literati who were about to become the backbone of Hanzhong County, and he was overjoyed. Until a person arrived, Cao De was really happy that he didn't fall asleep all night!
This person is Gu Yong! Cao De never dreamed that Gu Yong would also be Cai Yong's disciple. The current Gu Yong is only twenty-four or five years old, although he does not have the ability and insight to be the prime minister of Wu Guo now, but at least the achievements of others in the future can be placed there!
After Gu Yong came, Cao De gave Gu Yong to Jia Xu. And secretly told Jia Xu, I think this kid's face is a character who can be compared with Guan Zhong Leyi, you have to teach me well. If you give it to me, I'll cry to you!
Jia Xu said with a black line on his face: "In order not to let the lord's tears rain down, it seems that the old man has to give him all his money!"
A year and a half of peaceful life does not mean that Cao De's ambitions have been worn out, and the prelude to a storm is often a burst of calm.
And it was a seemingly ordinary letter that broke Cao De's peaceful life and broke the apparent calm of the big man. (To be continued.) )
