Chapter 134: Food Mission
As for whether this is unique, it is that Liu Yao almost made an opening ceremony of this good thing like a product launch. This is the person who introduced this, and that is naturally Zhang Fang, the person in charge of the Huoyun Commercial Bank under Liu Yao. According to the knowledge of his previous life, Liu Yao completely knocked out the reputation of this paper book, and the subsequent Youzhou Academy will definitely be as famous as the reputation of this book.
This Zhang Fang said that because the number of paper books is not large, people outside this Youzhou who want to buy this paper and books will have to pay a little money. As for how much money it is, it will depend on who makes the decision.
And in this Youzhou, those who want to buy these will naturally be a friendly price, and it will naturally be a little interesting for their own people.
However, the most important thing is that as long as you join this Youzhou Academy and the officials who join this Youzhou, you can use the paper and receive the book for free, and it doesn't cost a penny at all. At this moment, Youzhou Academy can't think about it. Of course, the amount received should also be different according to the size of the official position, and Liu Yao's real henchmen like Guo Jia and Zhang Fei naturally want as much as they want.
And when this Zhang Fei saw this paper, his saliva was about to flow. In addition to good wine, this Zhang Fei also likes to practice calligraphy and painting, especially good at painting beauties, this painting skill is not even surprising to Liu Yao, an archaeologist. In his previous life, there was no authentic handwriting of Zhang Fei handed down. And now Liu Yao can feast his eyes.
Immediately, many literati joined Youzhou Academy. Of course, Liu Yao will not accept everyone, and before that, he will take a character test to see if he really wants to learn, and divide these people into different subjects. As for those who came completely for the paper and books, they were naturally driven out of the city.
Because of this, for a long time, officials in other places were envious of the officials in Youzhou. The officials in this Youzhou are not only high-yielding, but also have various benefits like this. is also because of the high level of income in Youzhou, which has also led to the emergence of few corrupt officials in Youzhou. Because the money Liu Yao gave them was enough for them to spend for a lifetime. Except for those who are really not human-hearted, few people take the risk of embezzlement, and if this is discovered, it is beheading.
Therefore, the officials in Youzhou are all working hard to improve their political performance, for fear that such a good job will run away. You must know that Lu Dao wants to join the sea of officials in Youzhou. I don't know how many people in the road are looking at them from behind. And even if you don't talk about being an official, this Youzhou is still the most peaceful place in the entire Han Dynasty now. The yellow scarf can't reach Youzhou, and this foreigner can't step into Youzhou, and only in such a place is it the safest.
So the opening ceremony of this Youzhou Academy ended. The reputation of the academy has already been lost. Although it can't be compared with an old academy like Yingchuan Academy for the time being, it is only a matter of time before it surpasses him. Moreover, Yingchuan Academy still focuses on the children of those big families, and on the contrary, Youzhou Academy cares more about those children of the poor who have been buried. Of course, those children of families who sincerely want to study, Youzhou Academy will not refuse.
After the opening ceremony, the three elders of Jingzhou and Kong Rong left after living in Youzhou for a few days, and Liu Yao was already able to regret it. After all, these things still have to be fate. It is worth mentioning that the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, I don't know what Cai Yong said to him, anyway, now this Zheng Xuan has decided to stay in Youzhou Academy. and Cai Yong serve as the dean of this Youzhou Academy together, and there is no distinction between principal and vice. With the two elders sitting in the formation, and a large number of gentlemen joining Youzhou Academy, the talents in the future must be continuously supplemented to Liu Yao's command.
Time flies, and a year passes quickly. In July of the third year of Zhongping, the development of Youzhou in the past year is still very rapid. The four cities around Jixian County have been established, the scale of these four cities is not small, each of them can accommodate a population of two or three hundred thousand, you must know that the current Jixian County is only more than 600,000 people.
And Liu Yao directly named it Qinglong City, White Tiger City, Vermilion Bird City, and Xuanwu City. It's a bit cheesy, but there's no objection to it. Those homeless people also moved in, and Liu Yao also distributed some land to them according to the head, as long as they were willing to cultivate the land and farm, then they would be able to live a good life in Youzhou.
Just half a year ago, Hua Xin came to Youzhou through Guan Ning's letter, and Liu Yao immediately appointed him to the post of Shanggu Taishou. Bing Yuan was also appointed as the Taishou of Yuyang. And his senior brother Gu Yong was also promoted by Liu Yao to the Taishou of Youbeiping because of his outstanding political achievements in the past year. Although the position of Taishou requires the appointment of the imperial court, these are not difficult things for Liu Yao at all, and a letter can do it. It can be said that the current Youzhou is already monolithic, and there will never be any problems again.
At this time, it is also the time of the autumn harvest. Every autumn harvest is the happiest time in the whole Youzhou. Because this autumn harvest means that there is food to eat.
Because of the tuntian system formulated by Liu Yao, as long as the people of Youzhou handed over part of the grain to the imperial court, the rest of the grain would be theirs, and the saved grain would be used by themselves, if there was any surplus grain, the government would buy it at the market price at that time. And the people were also happy to sell the surplus grain to the government, which not only helped the governors they respected the most, but also exchanged a lot of money for their families.
However, on this day, there was very bad news, which broke the harmonious atmosphere.
On this day, just when Liu Yao, the first idler in Youzhou, was dragged over to deal with some important government affairs, a person broke into Liu Yao's study in a hurry. "Lord, lord, it's not good."
Liu Yao looked at the figure of the person who came differently, it was not the captain of the agricultural school, Zao Yuan, or who was it.
"Zao Yuan, why are you so alarmed?" Liu Yao asked suspiciously, but there was a haze in his heart. This jujube is in charge of agriculture, so if the big thing for him is not good, it must be related to food.
"My lord, there was a locust plague in Jizhou this year, and now there are a lot of scattered locusts in Yuyang, Jixian, Shanggu and other counties in Youzhou." Zao Yuan said worriedly, this locust plague has been a natural disaster since ancient times, and it is not something that human power can resist at all.
"Bastard, how could this locust plague in Jizhou come to our Youzhou." Liu Yao stood up with a "whoosh" and roared angrily. slapped directly on the table, and suddenly under Liu Yao's strange power, the table ended his life.
"Lord Qiqi, originally this locust plague was in Jizhou, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Jizhou, this grain has not been planted much, so those locusts are coming to our Youzhou." Zao Yuan explained.
"Damn...... Where is this locust plague going, but it comes to my Youzhou, is it because our harvest in Youzhou is too good? Liu Yao thought depressedly, and then sat down again.
"Lord, this locust plague is a big thing, if there is no way to deal with it, then our harvest in Youzhou this year will be all in vain. Although we still have food in Youzhou, we are not afraid, but this still has a great impact on our future planning. Frustrated on the side, he said anxiously.
"Ding!! The Defend the Food mission is opened, save 100% of the food, reward the lottery 30 times, save 90%, reward the lottery 27 times...... Save 50% and be rewarded with 15 draws. Less than 50% is a failure, deduct 30*2 lottery chances, please ask the host whether to accept the task. Just when Liu Yao was angry, the cold voice of the ancient book sounded in Liu Yao's mind again.
