Chapter 103 Entering Chengdu and establishing the Wenwu Academy
Chapter 103 entered Chengdu and established the Wenwu Academy
In the winter of the first year of Zhongping, Chengdu City. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the streets and alleys are full of lights, and the people are singing and dancing and gathering together. The city is even more lively in the Assassin's Mansion, and officials of all sizes in Chengdu have entered the palace one after another.
Above the hall of the mansion, Liu Qian was wearing a second-grade top, a county marquis python robe, and a red robe and coat, sitting in the middle. Although Xu Chu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were already in high positions, they still stood on both sides of Liu Qian, each wearing heavy armor and a Suluo robe.
Xu Shu and Tian Feng did not follow their side at this time, they should have followed Guan Yu and Liu Bei to crusade against Zhang Xiu.
Huang Quan, the chief bookkeeper of Yizhou, handed the original official list to Liu Qian and said: "This time, Yizhou is fortunate that the lord came, otherwise Zhang Xiu gathered the crowd and came, and I would have been a prisoner of his subordinates as soon as possible." ”
"Gong Heng, didn't this make all the generals in Yizhou more light than his words?" When Liu Qian heard this, he chuckled, took the official list, and did not watch it, and said: "The existing state and county officials will all be hired in their original positions, and they will not be replaced." But in a month, I'll send someone to check your daily work, and if you're incompetent, I hope you don't blame me for being polite. ”
When Huang Quan, Wang Lei and others heard this, they were a little relieved. As for the person who is a thorn? But seeing that his commander came all the way, he restrained his soldiers from committing no offense against the people on both sides; The people in the state helped the old and the young to watch each other on the road, and there were many obstacles to redress grievances. They were all dealt with one by one, and more than a dozen corrupt officials and bullies were killed along the way. In this way, it seems that Yizhou has indeed ushered in an honest parent official.
Therefore, the common people are paying the army all the way, and melons and fruits gifts have been handed to the people on the march. However, the soldiers of the Pingnan Army did not dare to accept it. Eventually, an official came forward and handed over countless coins to the soldiers, exchanging the money for melons and fruit gifts.
Seeing this, the people were even more grateful to Liu Qian, the general of the expedition to the west. When Liu Qian's horse team passed by, the people on the side of the road all kowtowed and bowed, wishing him a long and boundless life.
From Shangyong to Chengdu through Fangling and Suiding, the chaotic army avoided its edge and hid far away along the way. The road into the river is very smooth, and there is no blockage all the way.
Liu Qian convened all the officials in Yizhou this time, and first stated that the original officials would remain unchanged, so that everyone could do things with peace of mind and seriously; Then, he wanted to set up academies and martial arts academies to open up people's wisdom; The third thing is to hold a recruitment hall to attract talented people and wise men to enter the government as officials.
The officials had heard that the academy was going to be held, but this was the first time they had heard of the martial arts academy.
When Wang Ti saw that the people did not understand, no one spoke. He then came out and asked, "I don't know what this academy is talking about?" ”
"The academy I want to establish should not only teach Confucianism, but also teach the art of war, formation, etiquette, and other things that have been learned by hundreds of schools. Nowadays, everyone is mainly Confucian, and all kinds of miscellaneous studies are more or less involved. Liu Qian looked at everyone in the hall with a stunned face, not only shook his head, it seems that people in this period still attach great importance to Confucianism, and then said: "Confucianism began with Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was carried forward by Mengfuzi in the Warring States Period, and even spread to this day, which is the way of the emperor." However, let me ask you a question, can the state be established? ”
Everyone in the hall was dazed, as if they had suddenly lost their souls. It's no wonder that they often boast of being a Confucian scholar, and where would they have thought that Lord Assassin Shi would bring up this matter as soon as he arrived, and it was still difficult to accept it for a while.
Liu Qian looked at the appearance of these people and said with a smile: "Qian is not asking everyone to disrespect Confucianism. Qian also knew that Confucianism could teach people to understand etiquette and respect teachers. However, there needs to be law to build a country, and diplomacy requires the use of troops. In this way, the Legalists and the Soldiers are also beneficial to the country. Therefore, Qian thought that the founding of the country was mainly based on Confucianism, and the rest of the hundred schools also needed our children and nephews to learn and use them in order to become rich and powerful. ”
At this point, Huang Quan understood a little, but he still had some questions in his heart: "My subordinates want to ask the lord, who can enter the academy to study?" ”
"Filial piety in the township, poor scholars, children of scholars, as long as they are good scholars, they can all enter to study. As for the textbooks, I will study them myself. Now what you need to do is to first choose a place in Chengdu City to establish a academy, which is not too large at the beginning, and can accommodate 2,000 people. When there are more people in the future, it is not too late to expand. Liu Qian said.
Seeing that Huang Quan and the others no longer refute, it can be seen from their faces that they are waiting for problems to arise in the future and waiting to see the joke. Liu Qian smiled slightly, and without saying much, he changed the topic: "The martial arts academy is set up outside the city, choose a wide place, and at least cover an area of more than 100 acres. The matter will be left to the barracks. ”
After such an order, the news of the establishment of the Wenwu Academy spread among the common people. For a while, it caused a sensation in the whole city of Chengdu, especially the admission study is provided free of charge, as long as it meets the age requirements. At present, many people have the idea of sending their children to study in the Wenwu Academy.
Liu Qian originally wanted to use many of the laws implemented in Liaodong here, but he didn't want Bing Yuan and Guan Ning to persuade them. Later, he himself felt that the power of the Shi clan here was much stronger than that in Liaodong, and these Shi clan were also a pillar of his future in Yizhou! As long as the relationship between the power of the scholars and the common people is eased a little now. Then the nobles knew that they were protecting their power, and they would die for themselves; If the common people can live a better life than before, they will also farm and pay taxes in a down-to-earth manner.
Therefore, Liu Qian only issued a new decree here, the Decree on Doing Business. Encourage the common people and scholars to go to do business, and reward the formation of horse teams to sell goods back and forth to the Central Plains and coastal places.
At the same time, 20 battalions of the Volunteer Infantry Battalion were transferred from the army as standing guard merchant battalions, and the caravan could apply to the government for merchant protection as long as it paid a certain fee. In this way, the army has increased some of its income.
The model of the army was also reformed. Before continuing to use it, the army was stationed separately in battalions, and the mobilization of troops must be accompanied by Liu Qian's handwritten letter of troop transfer.
The army cantonment system was introduced. Soldiers on duty were required to participate in the tuntian, and during non-war periods, the army was self-sufficient in food and wages. Each battalion has 2,000 acres of grain fields, two acres per capita, and 10 acres of vegetable fields.
A system of military service of appropriate age has been introduced. In Yizhou, in March every year, all those who have reached the age of 20 must go to the county government to sign up for military service and serve three years in the army. Those who serve in the military receive a monthly salary of 300 yuan. If the children of the noble clan do not want to serve in the military, they can offset it with money, and each person needs to pay 1,500 baht per month, for a total of 36,500 baht for three years.
The promulgation of the military service system for the appropriate age was accompanied by an extended military service system during the war and a military system for all. That is, during the war, everyone is obliged to join the army, those who are doing military service unconditionally extend the period of military service, and those who are not serving in the military but can fight must join the army to participate in the battle.
The preparatory work for the construction of government buildings has been carried out, and the system of public construction for active soldiers has been implemented. The government is required to prepare for the construction of buildings, and the main book is reported to Liu Qian, and after Liu Qian's approval is passed, sufficient troops will be mobilized for construction. However, these buildings are usually arranged during the time of farming.
Due to the implementation of the public construction system for active soldiers, the system of compulsory service for the common people has been abolished. At the same time, a proclamation was issued that no official or individual was allowed to enslave the people, and that no labor tax should be levied on the people for any reason. If anyone violates it, it is punishable by death.
Such a system was issued, which greatly improved the contradictions between the scholars and the common people. It alleviates the hardship of the people's hard life in labor.
The work of the Wenwu Academy really has to keep Liu Qian busy for a while. He simply handed over the affairs of the state government administration to Bing Yuan and Guan Ning, two masters of internal affairs, and hid behind him and began to write Wenzhi martial arts.
Fortunately, the land of Yizhou was not affected by much civil unrest, and Zhang Xiu occupied Ba County, while Zhang Lu occupied the area from Hanzhong to Shangyong County.
Therefore, Bing Yuan and Guan Ning didn't have much to do, but they just made some additions to the officials in the two places of Shangyong.
As for Shangyong's Taishou, no one has arranged it, and on this day, the two came to Liu Qian together to inquire about the matter. Liu Qian was good, and directly sent Guan Ning out.
However, Guan Ning had just left. He remembered that Guan Ning had sent him, and Bing Yuan was the only one left by his side. He ordered someone to summon Guan Ning and the others back.
"I was working on these textbooks just now. I'm so sorry. Liu Qian's face was slightly red, "You'an, you can't go to Ba County, I still need you and Genju to govern this state capital for me." But who should be sent to that place? ”
"You should send someone close to you there. You'an is okay, but he went, and I was the only one left in the state capital, which seemed a little incompetent. Now General Xuande has recovered Shangyong, and Shangyong is a gateway for the Central Plains to enter Sichuan and Shu. Bing Yuan said on the side.
"What do you mean?" Liu Qian put down the pen in his hand and asked.
"My lord, my subordinates think that there are several plans for the land of mediocrity." Guan Ning said.
"Which ones?" Liu Qian was interested when he heard this.
"One is the third general Xu Chu, and the other is the fifth general Zhang Fei; There are two more, that is, the partial general Han Yue and the partial general Xu Ding. ”
"Why?"
"There are only three generals Xu Chu, five generals Zhang Fei and seven generals Zhao Yun left by the lord's side, and the seventh general Zhao Yun is young, and the lord will definitely stay by his side. Today, the second, fourth, and sixth generals are all fighting outside the army. The lord just didn't say it, presumably the third and fifth generals also wanted to go to the army to fight. Guan Ning said, "However, among the generals, Han Guansheng and Xu Boyang are outstandingly resourceful and talented, and they can also be qualified for this position." ”
"Yes, there is some truth to what you said!" Liu Qian instructed, "Okay, I'll arrange the rest." ”
That night, Liu Qian was in the house with Xu Chu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun. The four brothers set up a banquet in Liu Qian's mansion and had a small gathering.
Since he eats here every day, Liu Qian is very frugal on weekdays. Today, when they saw the abundant food and drink, the three of them were overjoyed. Zhang Fei asked, "Big brother, what's the happy event today?" The meal is so hearty? ”
Liu Qian said with a smile: "Xuande, Yun Chang, Ziman, and Jun Yi have been separated from my brother for nearly two months. We are here to enjoy peace, but they are sleeping outside in the cold and cold. Except for some war reports and correspondence between Yun Chang and Jun Yi, I really miss my brother a little, so I specially recruited you to accompany my brother.
"When did Big Brother become so sad?" Zhang Fei still couldn't change his straight temper.
Liu Qian smiled, looked at Zhang Fei and said, "It's been some time since Shangyong was taken down." It's just that when I passed by there, the foundation of our waiting was undecided, and I didn't send anyone there to guard it for the time being. There is still a shortage of lieutenants there! You'an recommended you and your third brother Zhongkang to me. ”
"Big brother, what you said is true?" Zhang Fei stared at Liu Qian with big eyes at the copper bell.
"Yes! Big brother, are you really letting me go? Xu Chu also asked.
"It's not you two going together. They are just recommending. However, they also recommended Han Guansheng and Zhong Kang's eldest brother, Brother Boyang. ”
Liu Qian watched Xu Chu and Zhang Fei slowly say something, not only Zhang Fei was stunned, but the brothers on the side were also stunned......
What did Liu Qian say? Is it Zhang Fei or Xu Chu going to guard Shangyong? At this time, there were only three people left by Liu Qian's side, Xu Chu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, if the two of them left one more, it seemed a little premature for the brothers to separate so early! According to historical records, Liu Bei and Guan Zhang lived in the same room, slept together, and ate at the same table; Discussing with outsiders, Liu Bei sat in front and Guan Zhang stood behind. Therefore, the three brothers have a deep meaning. Although Liu Qian and the brothers have been dining together for several years, will they send these people around them at this time? Read on.
