Chapter 26 Liu Bei picks peaches

Hearing Zhang Xingcai's question, Liu Houdao:

"What did you play with yesterday? What do you think of loading it onto a ship? ”

"What ...... I played yesterday" Zhang Xingcai frowned and thought, suddenly, she slapped her forehead and exclaimed: "Artillery!" That artillery we lit yesterday! You're such a genius! , Little Adou, you can think of it, that thing is loaded on the ship, it's terrible, it's terrible, the enemy's ship is miserable, and it will be bombarded to pieces before it can be seen. ”

Zhang Xingcai was so excited that she was a little incoherent, hugged Liu Hou's arm and started her signature jumping action.

"Hehe, of course! You know I'm a genius. We are all civilized people, where would we use a barbaric charge like that, wouldn't it be much better to bombard with artillery, right? ”

Liu Hou said unashamedly, he seemed to be completely unaware that the lethality of artillery was not known to be many times greater than that of barbaric charges, and the efficiency of harvesting human lives was not known to be many times faster. This also means that this kind of dissolution will be bloodier and more cruel, and it is self-evident which kind of barbarism is which is civilization.

Now the attack power of the warship is enough, but how to improve the ship's defense? Is it enough to be close to a watertight compartment? Liu Hou didn't pay much attention to the two noisy little Lori, and fell into deep thought again.

Ironclad battleship! Liu Hou remembered the ironclad warships of later generations, and wrapping another layer of iron sheets on the surface of the ship could greatly increase the protective capacity of the hull, at least for cold weapons, it was invincible.

Just do it, this time Liu Hou did not contact Guò Zuoci again, but directly found the general person in charge of the shipyard and directly put forward his opinions. He thought that he was getting older, and it was time for him to make his voice heard, and gradually go from * to the light.

Although Liu Hou was young, after all, he was in the name of the young master, and the person in charge of the shipyard did not dare to snub him.

However, the result of the discussion made Liu Hou very depressed. These craftsmen believed that even fitting a thin layer of iron armor on the entire ship would greatly increase the weight of the ship. As a result, the ship's load capacity is greatly reduced, and what is more terrifying is that the maneuverability is also greatly reduced.

When it comes to the battlefield, a big and bulky guy is dangerous. It is easy to be surrounded, attacked by a group, if the enemy ship is close and a large number of enemy soldiers jump up, then the artillery and those long-range weapons will become decorations, and then it will become pure melee combat and hand-to-hand combat. At this time, no matter how good the armor is, it will not work.

Liu Hou summarized the opinions of the craftsmen, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to temporarily abandon the plan of the ironclad battleship. After all, the ironclad warships of later generations appeared with steam power. Powered by the wind, animal power, and even manpower of this era, it is indeed a bit impractical to drive an ironclad battleship.

As a result, Liu Hou could only compromise and temporarily give up the good wish of the ironclad battleship, and let the craftsmen design and manufacture the ship according to the original design drawings.

In the blink of an eye, the harsh winter has passed, and it is time for spring to bloom. The "industrial zone" is connected to the official road, and the "4-lane" cement road is lined with splendid rape flowers on both sides. From the air, it looks like a golden silk cloth, separated by a gray-white jade belt. On this day, the spring is bright, the spring flowers are brilliant, and the horse-drawn carriages on the cement road are endless, breaking the quiet environment here.

Today, the school of the "Ministry of Industry" ushered in the opening ceremony of the new semester. This opening ceremony was very unusual, and it is said that it was attended by big people. People of all sizes who received the news flocked to it.

In Shudi, there are many people who can be called big shots, but the biggest one is undoubtedly Liu Bei. Liu Bei arrived, and he was inseparable, and most of Zhuge Liang, who had to ask for advice on everything, would also come.

Why did Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang come? The reason is that Liu Hou's school was targeted by them. They came to pick peaches.

At first, Liu Hou set up this school, mainly to take in the children of the homeless people. With the development of the "Ministry of Industry", tens of thousands of people of all kinds settled in the "Ministry of Industry". There are young and strong workers among them, and of course there are also many children.

Liu Hou's school gave these children free basic education, and after the enlightenment education, most of these students were absorbed into various research institutes or major factories. This is equivalent to solving the problem of a way out for these children. For these displaced people, this is a great favor, and for Liu Hou, he can get a steady stream of high-quality talents, which is a win-win situation.

In recent years, a number of students have graduated and begun to be assigned to various jobs. The institute can be regarded as a place for continuing education and a place of work, after all, in addition to continuing to learn advanced knowledge and skills from the masters, you also have to do all kinds of miscellaneous work.

And among those graduates, even a small number entered Liu Bei's shogunate and became some grassroots scribes. Those who can enter Liu Bei's shogunate are the best among this group of students, and they are naturally very good at work. The excellent performance of these people was noticed by the keen Zhuge Liang, and when he inquired, he learned that they were all from Liu Hou's inconspicuous school, so he reported the matter to Liu Bei.

One is a hero who has fought in the world for many years, and the other is the spokesperson of the wise man through the ages, his vision, strategy, wisdom, mind, and courage are very comparable, and they naturally see at a glance that the significance of this school is important.

Although Liu Bei has now gained a firm foothold in Shudi, he has also won military victories, and his momentum has been greatly boosted for a while, and the three-legged momentum has been achieved. However, these two real superiors know that Shu is not as strong as it seems, its foundation is too shallow, and there are still many internal problems that have not been straightened out.

Not to mention anything else, as Liu Bei's territory grows day by day, the problem of lack of manpower is becoming more and more serious. Liu Bei's talents have always withered, unlike Cao Wei Group and Sun Wu Group, which sit on the rich land of the Central Plains or Jiangdong, and there are many clans under their rule.

Although the clan made it more difficult to govern, it also provided a steady stream of talents for the rulers. Liu Bei lacks a large number of scholars, especially grassroots officials, and some counties are not even worthy of county officials, which is no wonder that Zhuge Liang did everything himself in history, so that he did his best and died.

Although there is also a side that he likes to seize power, Liu Hou estimates that it may be related to the lack of talents in Shu State, and Zhuge Liang is not at ease with all the affairs handled by his subordinates, so he has to ask about it.

Now, they have seen a glimmer of light from Liu Hou's school, an opportunity to solve the embarrassing situation of lack of talents in Shu. The solution is very simple, if you don't have talent, then train yourself. As long as you cultivate yourself, you can have as much as you want, and you can cultivate your own people, and your loyalty to yourself is far from being comparable to those who recruit talents.

So, they came, and they came to the Ministry of Industry School with a political purpose. So, Liu Hou was depressed. He originally wanted to emulate the later generations of Jiang as the headmaster.

Imagine a military conference in the future, with a long conference table sitting on the main seat at one end, and two rows of officers in straight uniforms. Every officer who spoke would stand up and stand upright, and then start with the scene: "Report the principal's ......", and Liu Hou would feel particularly excited.

It's cool to think about it, I'm still young, and when I grow up, the graduates of the school will have several stubbles, and then my wish will come true. But I didn't expect to be intervened by Liu Bei at this time.

Liu Bei came this time to officially name and list the school, and secondly, he robbed Liu Hou's name and let Zhuge Liang be the principal, of course, they didn't call the principal sacrificial wine. MB, Liu Hou secretly scolded, what a bullshit sacrificial wine, I still want to drink when I go to school, and I am not a good student or teacher at first glance.

Of course, this is angry talk, no matter how ignorant Liu Hou is, he will not know that the sacrificial wine was the education administrator in charge of Guozijian or Taixue in ancient times.

Now Liu Bei intervened strongly and snatched the students from Liu Hou's hands, which was obviously an act of picking peaches. However, who made Liu Bei his cheap father. Does the dad still need to say hello if he wants something from his son? Liu Hou said to Liu Bei: "Yours is also mine, and mine is still mine." The attitude was very speechless.

The dignitaries and nobles in Chengdu City, hearing that Liu Bei attached great importance to this school, not only appointed Zhuge Liang, the first minister of Shu Han, to be a sacrificial wine, but also personally unveiled the ribbon and cut the ribbon, and it is said that they also had the intention of speaking at the opening ceremony, so they were all ready to move.

After further learning that Liu Bei's sworn brothers Guan and Zhang, the daughters of the two marquis, had decided to study in this school, and had worshiped Zuo Ci and Zhao Yun as teachers respectively, these dignitaries and nobles flocked to the school with their children and nephews, and they wanted them to study in the school.

In this era, the defense of etiquette and religion was far less stringent than in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Cheng Zhu Lixue had not yet been born. All kinds of deformed and perverted rules restricting women's behavior, such as what to wrap their little feet, not to leave the boudoir in three steps, and women are not allowed to show their faces, have not yet appeared.

In addition, it is a troubled era, tens of millions of people have died in the past few decades, and less than a third of the people have survived. At this time, it's good to survive, and it's really enough to care about etiquette and religion. It is unlikely that the poor people will have these stinky rules, and perhaps only some wealthy families and dignitaries will pay a little attention to this aspect of the problem, but it will never be too strict.

The closest example to Liu Hou is Sun Shangxiang, she took a hundred female soldiers to make trouble all day long, not only often in and out of the barracks, history records that she also took Wu soldiers to run rampant in Jingzhou, her fierce spirit can be seen.

As the lord of Wu State, she doesn't have a bit of the image of the ladies of later generations, what etiquette, what kind of defense of men and women, it's all bullshit to her. This kind of aristocratic children are still like this, and the common people can imagine it.

Maybe you will say that Sun Shangxiang was born in Jiangmen, has not read any books, and it is normal to not understand etiquette, so let me give you another example, Cai Yan, that is, Cai Wenji, who is known to the future world, she is the daughter of Cai Yong, a great Confucian in the world, has been smart and studious since she was a child, and her talent is praised by the world, and she is a famous talented woman in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, when she was young, she married Wei Zhongdao, a native of Hedong, and was later taken captive by the Xiongnu, and was accepted as his wife by the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang, and gave birth to two sons. Later, Cao Cao redeemed it from the Xiongnu and married Dong Ci.

She completely does not have the consciousness of "one woman does not marry two husbands" and "from one to the end" of the so-called martyrs in later generations.

And Dong Xi, the official title of Tuntian Lieutenant, is also a small official. In the later generations, it is really rare for officials to marry a woman who is a re-Jiao. History of the Ming Dynasty?? The Biography of Xu Wenhua said: "The Chinese family does not take the women of Jiao. That is to say, if a middle-class family does not marry a woman who remarries, what about the official? What's more, Cai Wenji has not remarried once, but twice.

But Dong Ci didn't care at all, and the relationship between him and Cai Wenji was "harmonious", and the relationship was very good. This also shows that the atmosphere at that time was indeed like this, and the things of men and women and etiquette were far from the Ming and Qing dynasties.
