Chapter 425: On the Imperial Examination's Troops Out of Liangzhou

readx;

"That's a nuisance!" Liu Zhang frowned and tapped lightly on the small case, and after a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Actually, I had an idea a long time ago, but it was difficult to implement. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but if it can really be implemented, it will be difficult for those children of the family to monopolize the court! ”

"Oh?" Zhuge Liang already knew that Liu Zhang was extraordinary, and when he heard Liu Zhang say that there was a way to suppress the family, he couldn't help but smile and said: "The lord might as well speak out and listen, if there are any difficulties, we can also brainstorm!" ”

"Then I'll talk about it!" Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "It's just that it doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not, what I say today must not be leaked half a sentence, otherwise I will not be spared!" Dian Wei, Dian Man! ”

"The last general!" As soon as Liu Zhang gave the order to discuss the matter, Dian Wei and his son went to stand guard outside the door. Hearing Liu Zhang's call, the two immediately walked in!

Liu Zhang ordered with a calm face: "Pass my order, during the deliberations, no one can get close to here for a hundred steps, otherwise there will be no mercy!" ”

"Yes!" For Liu Zhang's orders, Dian Wei has always completed them without compromise, he immediately drove out the waiters and soldiers within a hundred steps of the hall, and then returned to Liu Zhang! Seeing Liu Zhang so cautious, everyone also sat up straight!

Glancing at everyone, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Actually, my method is also very simple, it is the exam, I call it the imperial examination system!" ”

"Imperial examination system?" Everyone looked at Liu Zhang with some puzzlement, while Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia, who came out of the orthodox academy, seemed to understand a little. When they were studying in the academy, the master would often ask questions to test their talents. In their minds, Liu Zhang's imperial examination should be similar to the method of school examination!

Seeing everyone's doubts, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "If you want to be an official now, you must be elected by the local government to become filial piety!" The imperial examination system requires the government to take the school examination before learning, and only then can you pass the test to become an official! ”

Seeing that the answer was the same as what he thought, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Lord, your method is very good, but most of the people who can read and write now are children of the family. Even if you use the imperial examination system, it can only alleviate the situation of the family in power, but it cannot solve the problem of the family's governance! ”

"Well said!" Liu Zhang smiled: "But what if I run another school? ”

"Running a school?" Zhuge Liang was shocked: "Isn't the lord Mo trying to organize a place like Lumen Academy, Yingchuan Academy, or something like Taixue?" ”

"Exactly!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "I run a school in the name of the government, and I can teach everything from enlightenment to a skill, including the skills of being an official and managing the people!" ”

"My lord, the books are in the hands of the big families, and even if they are copied, the cost is very high. The people are poor, how can they have the money to study? Zhuge Liang sighed: "If it is funded by the government, the cost will be too high!" ”

"Kong Ming, do you think I haven't thought about it?" Liu Zhang smiled: "I have a way to solve these things, even your wife is helping me do this!" ”

"My wife?" remembered that some time ago, Liu Zhang once looked for Huang Yueying. After Huang Yueying went home, she sneakily made some wooden tools, no matter how she asked, she refused to answer, and Zhuge Liang was very unhappy about it. Now that he heard that his wife was doing a big thing for Liu Zhang, Zhuge Liang was a little dumbfounded!

"Exactly!" Liu Zhang smiled: "I heard that Mrs. Zun is very talented in Gewu, so I asked her to make something for me. It's just that I told her to keep it a secret, so she can't tell anyone. I hope Kong Ming is not to blame! ”

"The lord is serious! It is an honor for us to be able to serve you! Zhuge Liang is not a pedantic person, he is very happy to see that his wife can show his talent.

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "If Mrs. Zun can really study these things, she will definitely be able to live forever!" When the time comes, you husband and wife, one is a famous face through the ages, and the other is a master of personality, I can also dip your light and become a Ming Monarch and Holy Lord! ”

"The lord laughed!" Zhuge Liang said modestly: "If there is no lord, how can there be our achievements!" ”

Liu Zhang said: "Kong Ming doesn't have to be like this, I am not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and I will not tolerate others!" In the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a dynasty can only produce one saint, so he castrated Sima Qian, because his pattern was too small. In my opinion, there can be countless saints in a dynasty, and I want to be the one who rules the saints! ”

"The lord is generous!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, becoming a saint is thinking about what others dare not think, what is the concept of dominating a saint? The eyes of everyone looking at Liu Zhang were full of awe!

"Kong Ming, I have one more thing I want you to do!" Speaking of Huang Yueying, Liu Zhang remembered that Huang Yueying once said that her father's talent in Gewu is not simple, and there are talents who don't need it, it's not Liu Zhang's style!

"My lord, please command!" Zhuge Liang was convinced, he heard Liu Zhang's order, and hurriedly received his order.

"Don't be too busy saying yes, it's a very difficult thing to do!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "I heard that Sima Hui, Pang Degong, and Huang Chengyan are all very talented, and I want to invite them to Chang'an, I don't know if you have a way!" ”

"This..."Zhuge Liang said with some hesitation: "My father-in-law is not very difficult, and Mr. Shui Jing's difficulty is not very great, but Pang Degong is unlikely." The lord doesn't know that Pang Tong, the son of Pang Degong, is now working in Jiangdong, and no one will go against his son! ”

"Feng Chick!" Liu Zhang sighed: "Do you have a way to get the phoenix chicks?" ”

"Nope!" Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly: "If I also defect to the Sun family, maybe he will leave Jiangdong!" ”

"Huh?" Liu Zhang asked; "Aren't you friends with Feng Xiao Pang Tong?"

"It's a friend who will do this!" Zhuge Liang said: "Shi Yuan wanted to be superior to me, and when he went to the Sun family, it was also because I wanted to defect to Liu Bei!" ”

"I see!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "First of all, please ask your father-in-law and Mr. Shui Jing, by the way, try Pang Degong, if he is willing to come, it is the best!" You tell him that if he is willing to come, when Pang Tong's army is defeated and captured, I will spare Pang Tong's life! ”

"Yes!" Zhuge Liang gave up his orders and prepared to go back to calculate his master and father-in-law!

Speaking of this, Liu Zhang reacted a little, and he smiled: "Everyone, we seem to be off topic!" I ask you to think about the issue of grain and grass, how did you go to the promotion of policies and the preparation of schools? ”

"Uh..." Everyone was also a little embarrassed when they heard this, especially Zhuge Liang and Liao Li, who were the first to go off-topic. In order to remedy, Liao Li hurriedly smiled and said: "Lord, according to me, let's go to Jiangdong to buy grain!" ”

Liu Zhang said: "Jiangdong buys grain, the problem is how to transport it back!" Besides, the people of Jiangdong are not stupid, will they sell me grain? ”

"Shipping is not a problem!" Zhuge Liang said: "I remember that there was a general named Gan Ning under the command of the lord, he was originally a bandit on the Yangtze River and was good at water warfare. Entering the Yangtze River from Ba County should not be a problem for him! As for buying grain and grass, it has to fall on the Liangzhou Thorn History! ”

"You mean the Koto Lu family?" Liu Zhang frowned and said, "Does the Jiangdong Lu family dare to trade with us?" You know, the Sun family is not an idle person! ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the envoy of the Sun clan may be coming soon!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "According to intelligence, Sun Jian was killed by Xu Chu and Wei Yan under Wuling City, and no matter how filial Sun Quan and Sun Ce are, they will find a way to avenge their father." Cao Ying occupies the land of the five states, and the soldiers are full of food, how can he be the enemy of Jiangdong? The Sun family was defeated by Cao Ying, so he naturally asked for the lord. At that time, the lord will ask for food because of the lack of military rations, and presumably they will not refuse! ”

Liu Zhang said: "I also know about Sun Jian, but Sun Ce is brave and Sun Quan is strategic, and he may not be defeated by Cao Ying, how can they come to beg me?" ”

"It is precisely because the two sons of the Sun family have the ability to ask for help from the lord!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "I heard that Jiangdong's civil and military forces have been divided into two factions, Wenchen supports Sun Quan, and military generals support Sun Ce. Sun Jian is here, and the two factions are naturally at peace; Sun Jian died, how could the two not fight? Sun Ce sent troops, Sun Quan would be restrained, and Sun Quan wanted to take revenge, how could Sun Ce sit idly by? ”

"Not necessarily!" Liu Zhang sighed: "Sun Quan may be ambitious, but Sun Ce is a person who values love and righteousness..."

"What is the importance of love and righteousness, the eldest brother thinks highly of Sun Ce!" Zhou Yu sneered: "Back then, I agreed with him, just to get Jiangdong for him, so I came to join the eldest brother." But didn't he send someone to assassinate me when I was gone? If it weren't for Liu Xian, I would have died in Huangquan a long time ago, which is also called valuing love and righteousness? ”

"This..." Liu Zhang frowned when he heard this, he didn't believe Zhou Yu, he just felt that Sun Ce didn't look like someone who would do such a thing! However, even Zhou Yu didn't expect that Chen Wu, who killed him at the beginning, was sent by Sun Jian!

After being silent for a long time, Liu Zhang suddenly smiled and said, "In this case, when the Qiang people are pacified, let Lu Xun contact the Lu family." As for Gan Ning's side, someone needs to block the Yellow River instead of him! ”

"Why bother!" Zhou Yu said with a smile: "If the eldest brother believes in me and transfers 20,000 sailors with me, I will complete the transportation of grain and grass for the eldest brother!" ”

"Oops!" Liu Zhang was overjoyed and said: "How did I forget, Gongjin is also proficient in water warfare, and he is still from Jiangdong!" Ming, I will mobilize 20,000 people with you, and then let Gan Ning expand the water army! ”

"Thank you big brother for your trust!" Since recovering from his injury, Zhou Yu has always wanted to return to the battlefield, and after being appointed by Liu Zhang, he hugged his fists and stepped aside.

Seeing that everyone had no idea, Liu Zhang let them leave. But the topic of this night shocked everyone's hearts. Whether it is the imperial examination system, or the school or the tax reform, they are all haunting in the hearts of everyone. Even the original key topic, how to deal with the Qiang people and the Rongdi tribes has become a trivial matter. Of course, everyone will never forget to clean up the Qiang people and Rong Di, which is not only related to the military exploits, but also related to the stability under Liu Zhang's rule!

The next day, Liu Zhang ordered Xu Shu to command the cavalry as the vanguard, Guo Jia and Jia Xu as military advisors, and personally led Guan Yu and Huang Zhong to the Chinese army and went straight to Liangzhou. I heard that Liu Zhang was there in person, and the Qiang people and Rong Di tribes not only did not retreat, but they even had to advance inch by inch! After receiving the information, Liu Zhang was furious and immediately ordered Xu Shu to exterminate the two clans.

Xu Shu, who received the order, scattered the army and divided and surrounded the Qiang people and Rong Di Jingxing. Ma Chao, known as the general of Shenweitian, took Pang De to show his might in Liangzhou, and Yan Xing, who was said to be famous among the Qiang people in the past, was also under Ma Chao's command. By the time Liu Zhang arrived in Liangzhou, Jincheng, Wuwei, and Tianshui had already been recovered!
