Chapter Eighty-Eight: Liu Bang's Calculations
In the Twenty Prince's Mansion in the Qin Capital, a middle-aged man who stood in the crowd and would not be remembered if he saw it said in a low voice: "The sixteen Ludi Confucians have all entered the Eldest Prince's Mansion, and four of them have their entire family controlled by our people, this matter is absolutely foolproof!" ”
Liu Bang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a smile on his face, with full recognition and attention in his eyes, he reached out from his arms, took out a bag containing dozens of gold beads, and handed it over with both hands.
Only then did he say in a low voice: "You still have to stay in the Qin capital for some time, and let these great Confucians tell our eldest prince and the slaves and maids in the eldest prince's mansion how miserable the lives of the people of the six countries who have lost their family pillars are, don't be afraid to spend money!" ”
When I came to Qindu, the first thing I did was naturally to go to Shaofu to give the gifts that His Royal Highness brought to His Majesty, and the second thing was to go to the royal mansions to give dowry gifts accompanied by Shaofu.
The date for the ladies to go to Chu has been agreed, and the eunuchs of the Chu Palace are also with the ladies.
What's even more surprising is that the secret agent who went to Ludi to persuade the Great Confucian to come to assist the Great Prince actually persuaded sixteen Great Confucians to come to the Qin capital at one time, which was simply overjoyed.
Now for Liu Bang, the most important thing is to let these great Confucians assist the great prince to learn the way of benevolence and forgiveness, and learn more about the miserable life of the families of the surrendered soldiers of the Six Kingdoms in various places.
As for the latter, there is no need for Liu Bang to worry about it at all, when the eldest prince wants to ask for his life for the people, it is the beginning of the first emperor's disappointment with the eldest prince.
Now, in addition to Qin, slaves are still being used in large numbers in the other six countries, and Liu Bang is also preparing to let the eldest prince know the misery of slaves in various places.
The rich have thousands of mansions and a thousand meals, and the poor have no place to stand and even grass roots and bark are not enough.
There are too many things in the world that need to be known by benevolent people like the Great Prince.
Even His Royal Highness opened a mine in Jiujiang, and he needed to fill it with the lives of slaves.
Constantly raising various problems, but there is no way to solve them, and after a long time, it will not only oppose His Majesty, but also oppose the entire court.
Thinking of his follow-up arrangements, the smile on Liu Bang's face became more and more cordial, and even his tone became more gentle, even if he knew that the life of his whole family was under Liu Bang's control, the middle-aged secret agent also had a passion for fighting for the great cause of the world in his heart.
And in the palace of the king of Chu, Chu Er continued to read: "The commander of the Jinyi Guard, Zhang San, wants to dig salt pans along the coast and control the movements of merchants everywhere through the trade of salt!" ”
"Yes!"
Salt and iron was the most important resource in ancient times, and it was also the biggest contradiction, rather than controlling it in its own hands and concentrating the contradictions on itself, it was better to hand it over to the hands of Jinyiwei, who was completely controlled by himself, so that he could maximize his own interests.
"Jin Yiwei has summoned a large number of carpenters from the southern countries, so he wants to build a number of carriages and build warehouses in various places at the same time!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Wen nodded lightly, this should be the means of the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei to establish stable intelligence points in various places, and now it has been copied by Zhang San, but unlike the Ming Dynasty, there is no Sui and Tang Grand Canal now, and the road system is not as sound as the Ming Dynasty.
The most important thing is that Chu is in the south, and there has been no place to raise horses in the south since ancient times, unless he takes the Jiujiang soldiers to the grassland to rob it, or it is just the purchase of a large number of horses, which is a huge expense.
Coupled with the bandit cottages in various places, even if this warehouse is established, there will not be much profit.
"You can build a four-wheeled carriage that can pull more cargo at a time!"
"Yes!"
The carriage used by the Great Qin royal family is four-wheeled, just looking at the size, it is obviously much bigger than the two-wheeled carriage, and it just so happens that His Royal Highness has one, so let the carpenter build it according to it.
"Your Highness, casting movable type, I don't know which classic is the main one!"
After the establishment of various township schools, a large number of gentlemen are needed, and the various schools gathered in Shouchun now can be said to be eyeing each other, but this matter is by no means Chu Er dares to call the shots, otherwise in the eyes of various schools, he is the first minister of the ages.
This is a big trouble, even Zhao Wen himself has not thought about which family will be dominated by Daqin's culture in the future.
But so many township schools and county schools are established, at least tens of thousands of students, I am afraid that the number can exceed all the scholars in Daqin, if you set one of them as the mainstay, this will definitely occupy an absolute advantage.
Thinking about the ancient enlightenment textbooks, Zhao Wen smiled lightly and said: "You remove the inappropriate parts of the thousand-character text and the surnames of the hundred families, and then send them to each family, let them write one out as they are, and the best one will not only become the enlightenment textbook of the township school, but I also have a heavy reward!" ”
The classics of later generations are certainly not suitable for use in this era, but if they can write in the later world, as long as they set the format, the scholars of this era will certainly be able to write the most suitable enlightenment textbooks for this era.
And in Zhao Wen's view, this kind of enlightenment teaching materials, plus he also provides the foundation, no matter who writes it, it will not make much difference, and then it will depend on which one is the smartest and writes the most in line with his own mind.
On the second day, the palace of Chu issued an order that the hundred schools of the princes would compile the enlightenment textbooks of the township of Chu, and His Royal Highness would choose the best one as the textbook for all the students of the township school of Jiujiang County, and the hundred schools of Shouchun would be shaken at the same time.
Although Daqin has not set up a crown prince now, everyone can see that the position of the crown prince must be one of the eldest prince and the twenty princes, and even the twenty princes have a great advantage.
The classics compiled by himself have now become the enlightenment of Jiujiang County Township School, and it is possible that it will become the enlightenment classics of students all over the world in the future, which can not only leave a name in history, but also greatly enhance the influence of their own school in the world.
The hundreds of schools of thought have been fighting for hundreds of years, and it is not one or two that have been eliminated, and the winner this time is even very likely to eliminate all the other schools at once, but this possibility makes any school dare not be careless.
Because Shouchun wanted to establish the largest academy in the world, it had already gathered a large number of disciples from the hundreds of schools, but after receiving the news, all the schools sent letters asking for help to the elites of their own schools in various places as soon as possible.
In silence, no one noticed that the three people in the Jiujiang County Soldier Camp each quietly left Shouchun City with a thousand people.
A food called pumpkin began to appear in the bowls of farmers in all the Jiujiang soldiers and farms in the Chu Palace, and even the residents of Shouchun City fell in love with pumpkins, a cheap and delicious food.
Potatoes need to be kept as seeds, but pumpkins are extremely perishable after the seeds are removed, and even if there are soldiers from Jiujiang County, farmers and slaves from various farms, and a large number of people in various construction projects, they still cannot be consumed in a short time.
Zhao Wen simply provided it to the people of Shouchun at a very low price, so that countless people in Chu had a full stomach for the first time in their lives, and also made Zhao Wen's reputation in the local area suddenly skyrocket!
