Yizhou, Chengdu Jiangfu.

Liu Zhang listened to the news from the scribes in the hall, and his face instantly became cold and a little nervous, or panic.

"Ladies and gentlemen, then Cao Cao took Xiliang and married Ma Chao, what should I do now?" Liu Zhang looked at everyone and asked a little nervously.

"Lord, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and now after Chu Feng took the Central Plains, Cao Cao continued to expand, first taking Hanzhong, and now there is a unification of Xiliang,"

"If you want to come to Cao Thief, the next stop is our Yizhou. And Cao Cao's command is all elite in a hundred battles, and now there are tens of thousands of iron horsemen from Ma Chao and Xiliang to help, I'm afraid..."

A clerk immediately explained,

"That's right, my lord, Cao Cao's heart of Yizhou is well known, we must be vigilant and beware of this person, and our subordinates think that when the troops are stationed at the various passes in the north, to prevent Cao Cao from going south."

Someone else suggested.

"Lord, Cao Thief is treacherous and sinister, with countless conspiracies and tricks, if you want to rely on your own strength to fight this person, it is even more difficult, it is better to unite external forces to resist Cao Cao."

Zhang Song hesitated slightly, but also said.

"Joint external forces? Now that Liu Biaoshixie has been destroyed one after another, who else can I unite? Liu Zhang frowned, he really didn't know what to do now.

He was worried that he would not be able to defeat Cao Cao if he resisted him!

His old rich man's life has not passed enough, so he is naturally unwilling to end it in his heart.

"Lord, it's better to unite with Chu Feng in the east, as the so-called dog eats a dog, the last thing I want to see Cao Cao take Yizhou is Chu Feng."

"You might as well form an alliance with Chu Feng and let Chu Feng be stationed in the middle of Hanzhong and Chengdu, so Cao Cao doesn't have to worry." Zhang Song's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled lightly.

"Zhang Song, what bad idea did you come up with? Is this tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger and luring a wolf into the house? Then Cao Cao wants to annex our Yizhou, doesn't Chu Feng want to? ”

A scribe immediately reprimanded.

"That's it, Zhang Song, what kind of heart do you have? Chu Feng's entry into Sichuan Shu is even more terrifying than that Cao Cao. Now Jiaozhou Shixie has surrendered. ”

Another scholar came out and reprimanded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is the best policy to drive away the wolf and devour the tiger, as for worrying about Chu Feng taking over the throne, you can increase the defenders of the pass and let the two of them entangle in Hanzhong."

"Thinking about it, Chu Feng wants to take back Hanzhong and beat Cao Cao back to Guanzhong, and Cao Cao naturally wants to repel Chu Feng and take Sichuan Shu, and the two will definitely collide."

Zhang Song tried to convince these people.

"Zhang Song, don't say it, it's not feasible to lure wolves and drive tigers, then Cao Cao is not as dangerous as Chu Feng!" Liu Zhang immediately waved his hand, he didn't dare to do this.

"What do you think you should do, my lord?" Zhang Song asked rhetorically.

"At the pass of the troops, beware of Cao Cao's movements, and at the same time send someone to unite with Chu Feng and befriend this person. If it really comes to the last resort, then he is sending someone to ask for help from Chu Feng. ”

Liu Zhang pondered a little and immediately said.

"United Chu Feng?" Everyone looked at each other.

Liu Zhang looked at Wu Yi and said in a deep voice: "Ziyuan, Sister Ling will be fine in the near future." ”

"With the concern of the lord of labor, everything is fine for my sister." Wu Yi didn't understand what Liu Zhang meant for a while, so he had to reply.

You must know that your Wu family had a great relationship with Liu Yan back then, and they were close friends, so they moved their family to Yizhou, and Liu Yan took a fancy to the Wu family at that time.

let the third son marry the Wu family, but the third son died early, and the Wu family became a widow a long time ago, which is a pity, you must know that the Wu family has a good appearance in the history books.

And it's a rich and noble life,

It's just that Liu Yan didn't expect that the wealth and nobility are not his family, but Liu Bei.

Later, Liu Bei entered Sichuan and Shu, and it was the Wu family who accepted it, and he became the queen, on the one hand, the Wu family had a prominent position in Sichuan and Shu, and on the other hand, the Wu family was good-looking.

"Ziyuan, Sister Ling has been widowed for many years."

"I heard that Chu Feng doesn't like gold and silver, but he thinks of beauties, which makes his sister look stunning, and Chu Feng sits on half of the country, why don't I take the lead and let him marry your Wu family?"

Liu Zhang's eyes rolled around, he was selfish.

Anyway, if he can win over Chu Feng, even if Cao Cao goes south, he can still have the last handle, the key thing he thinks is,

The garbage in the hall is not necessarily reliable,

The devil knows how many of these people have already taken refuge in Cao Cao,

But if he co-opted Chu Feng, these people would be more or less afraid of one or two, which would be conducive to the stability of his Yizhou.

"My lord, no!"

"Sister Ling is the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, how can she remarry someone else halfway." Wu Yi hurriedly refused, the ghost knows what kind of medicine is sold in this Liu Zhang's gourd, if he is tempted, it will be over.

If he really just wanted to use his sister to form an alliance, he really didn't mind, after all, Chu Feng owned half of the country, and if his sister could be accepted as a concubine by this person, he would very likely become a relative of the emperor.

"Hey, my third brother died early for many years, and my Liu family and your Wu family are also world friends, how can I let Ling Mei not marry for life because of these things, this matter is so decided!"

"I'll send someone to Hefei one day, contact Chu Feng, inform him of the matter, see what Chu Feng says, and explain to Ling Mei when you go back,"

Liu Zhang waved his hand, which was quite a meaning of cutting first and then playing.

"But..."Wu Yi hesitated,

He was actually happy in his heart, after all, climbing the big tree of Chu Feng was an opportunity, as the so-called big tree was good to enjoy the shade, his Wu family might be able to ride the wind.

Of course, there are also disadvantages,

is to join Cao Cao and directly enter Yizhou, and when the time comes, whether it will be implicated because the Wu family was accepted by Chu Feng as a concubine, no one can say this.

"Alright, that's it!" Liu Zhang confirmed.

Everyone all cast envious glances at Wu Yi, after all, it is a good thing to be in-laws with Chu Feng, and at the same time, these people are also pondering, Liu Zhang's alliance with Chu Feng may not be so unbearable in Yizhou.

At this time, jumping out to stand in line with Cao Cao is obviously not so wise.

Thinking about this, everyone remained silent, keeping a small abacus in their hearts.

————

On the other side, Jiujiang Hefei.

Compared with the depression of Yizhou, Hefei is a different scene.

Hefei in autumn, and even the whole Yangzhou are full of joy, autumn and July is the autumn harvest season, hundreds of people are busy in the fields,

The heavy amount of food made them smile.

This year, Hefei has a smooth wind and rain, and because Chu Feng vigorously builds water conservancy, the harvest in Yangzhou is much more than in previous years, which is a bumper harvest.

In the midst of strangeness, there are countless voices of labor.

And inside and outside the city of Hefei, it is even more busy, the flow of people is like weaving, there are businessmen from the north and south everywhere, there are also rich people in the city, with the towering city of Hefei, it is a rich scene.

Back then, Chu Feng set the huge Hefei City and many people were puzzled, but now it seems that Chu Feng is predictable, plus the Central Plains is recovering,

Hefei is the only waterway in the middle of the Huai River and the Yangtze River.

Countless ships transported goods between the two places, and several shipyards worked overtime day and night to increase water capacity.

At this moment, the city will be in the palace.

Chu Feng was in the first place, and under his hall were all the ministers of civil and military affairs, such as Jia Xu, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, etc., all of whom were here, discussing the new five-year plan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if a country wants to run well, it cannot do without harsh laws, from a relaxed economy, from thousands of working people, and even more without grassroots officials."

"Now Jiaozhou is newly attached, all over the country is waiting to be revived, but Hefei to Jiaozhou whip is beyond the reach of the whip, and for the time being, it is not possible to take care of it, and the current focus on development is still the Jianghuai Basin."

"Now that Cao Cao has taken Xiliang and his power has been further expanded, I am afraid that the next step is to take Yizhou, and the time left for us is also relatively hurried."

Chu Feng briefly explained the current situation.

Everyone all looked at Chu Feng, and they also wanted to know how Chu Feng was going to develop next, because they always felt that their development had fallen into some kind of bottleneck right now.

"The five-year plan is divided into three steps."

"First, to expand the economic drive and increase economic development, this country must take the lead."

"Second, to increase military capabilities, the other two princes are eyeing each other, and they must ensure absolute military superiority in order to stand firm in the Central Plains."

"Here, the artisan battalion and the textile battalion should build crossbows, horizontal knives, cloth armor, vests and other equipment faster to arm our soldiers as much as possible."

"You must know that Yuan Shao has his back to Wu Huan, and there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen. Cao Cao took Xiliang again, and there were also tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen. ”

"Only our army, located in Jianghuai, Central Plains and other places, the only cavalry is still from the two sides before, it is extremely expensive, so we must come up with other ways to fight the cavalry."

"Third, increase talent training."

"This is not something that can be achieved overnight, and this move will subvert the cultural monopoly of the Maison for many years, I wonder what you think?"

Chu Feng said this, with a little inquiry.

"Lord, dare to ask how to increase talent training?" Under the influence of Chu Feng, Lu Su had already opened up the pattern, and in his opinion, he was now living for Han instead of himself.

Jia Xu, Zhang Zhao and others also looked at Chu Feng,

After all, the earlier talents were all recommended by various families, including the earlier ones, all of them were recommended to each other, and Chu Feng's words to cultivate talents couldn't help but make people curious.

You know, talent is not easy to cultivate.

"Imperial examination system! For example, a nationwide imperial examination is held every year, and everyone answers questions and other aspects, regardless of birth, regardless of family background, regardless of connections, only based on talent. ”

"The answer papers will then be examined and approved by all of you, so as to select the best quality talents and give them reuse, on the one hand, to increase the opportunities of talents, and on the other hand, to launch the imperial examination."

Chu Feng looked at everyone with the meaning of inquiry.

When everyone heard this, their faces showed a little surprise, but they were also smart people, and they could understand Chu Feng's meaning in an instant, to put it bluntly, it was to change the recommendation system to an exam?

Then why did Chu Feng say that this thing would subvert the cultural monopoly of the family?

"My lord, the imperial examination system you said does sound good, but the people who participate in the imperial examination are nothing more than people from major families, and the biggest difference from the previous recommendation is that it is fairer,"

"If that's all there is, wouldn't it be a bit of a fuss? After all, launching the imperial examination nationwide is a waste of financial and material resources! Zhang Zhao frowned and asked.

Jia Xu also looked at Chu Feng with curiosity,

However, he didn't question it, he felt that the reason why Chu Feng said this was obviously planned a long time ago, and in his impression, Chu Feng would not fight a battle that he was not sure of.

"There is a long way to go, and the purpose of the imperial examination is not to give everyone in the family a chance, but to give the people of the whole world a chance." Chu Feng's eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice.

"The people of the world?" The crowd was amazed.

"This—" The crowd didn't know what to say.

Lu Su fell into deep thought, he could vaguely get Chu Feng's meaning, but it was not too clear, and he couldn't help asking: "Lord, don't talk about exams,"

"They only know grains, not calligraphy and painting, let alone doing questions. What's more, people have to farm more than they need to survive in their families, and they don't have time to study, so what should they do? ”

"So, there's still a long way to go!"

Chu Feng smiled bitterly, thinking about future generations, universal education has taken tens of hundreds of years, and that's it, there are still many who are only primary and junior high school education.

"First, find ways to increase food output and give people the opportunity to get out of the fields, and only by increasing the population base can we select more outstanding talents."

"Second, schools should be established in various places to increase the knowledge transfer of students from all over the world, and here I also said earlier that there is a set of simple literacy methods that can be popularized!"

"Third, exempt from tuition, only in this way can the people have one more way, so that the family is not dominant, and let the outstanding students of the country cultivate outstanding talents for the imperial court."

"The construction of schools in various places can increase the number of labor positions, and this series of people will take not years, but tens or hundreds of years."

Chu Feng's eyes were burning and he looked at everyone, in his eyes it was magnificent and vast, the Great Han was destined to override the whole world, and the Great Han was destined to come to the dynasty in his hands.

The reason why he dared to bring this up was because of the trust and respect of tens of millions of people in him, and it was necessary for him to advance this matter by hundreds of years.

Because he has the backing of these people, he has nothing to fear.

When the words fell, everyone was stunned,

Everyone looked at Chu Feng with a strange gaze,

My boss wants to... Cultivating ordinary people to power?

Damn, is your boss crazy? All dynasties and dynasties thought about letting the people just know how to farm at home and obey the education, Chu Feng is good, train the people to take power!

What kind of thinking is this?

Or did he think it would be better for the people to be in power?

can think according to Chu Feng's thoughts, if he can really do this, then there will be tens of millions of people's children participating in learning, and maybe he will not see the results in a short time.

But decades and hundreds of years later,

How strong should the Han be at that time?

After all, 100 people research objects is far less fast than 10,000 people researching objects, but the concept of national enlightenment is too crazy.

This will cost countless amounts of money and will not see a return on it in a short period of time.

"Lord, is this too long? If it is not yet peaceful today, if these are launched at this moment, will there be turmoil in various places? ”

Zhang Zhao asked with his fists clenched, wanting Chu Feng to dispel this thought.

"Preparing for a rainy day is what the superior should do, and a dynasty that follows the rules, no matter how strong it is, it will only be hundreds of years." Chu Feng looked at Zhang Zhao and said in a deep voice.

These words also made Zhang Zhao's old face red,

"Remember, knowledge is the source of progress."

"A hundred years later, maybe there will be 1,000 or 10,000 talented people in other empires, but my Han will have 100,000 and 10,000 talented people, dare to ask, who in the world can be the enemy?"

Chu Feng's eyes were deep and full of pride.
