After casually dealing with Ren Qi and Jia Long, Liu Bei ordered the army to rectify the battlefield, sort out the prisoners, and then lead the troops back to the division.

When Liu Bei returned to Chengdu, he had just arrived in Chengdu for a day, and when he saw Liu Bei, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"I thought I could fight a tough battle, but when I went to Ba County, I heard that the Yellow Turban Thieves attacked and killed the Taishou of Ba County, I thought they were really a strong enemy, and they were very cautious to lead the troops forward, and they were all annihilated in a battle...... What kind of waste is a group of Yizhou officials and soldiers......"

He sighed with emotion, not rejoicing at all that he had won a victory, but only felt that he had carefully fed the dog.

Now when I come to Chengdu, I see that Liu Bei has finished cleaning up the horses, and most of the time-consuming people are on the way, and I can't cry or laugh.

But that's not entirely a bad thing.

It is so easy to deal with these grass platform teams, which just proves that the Liangzhou Corps under Liu Bei has completely left the state of the grass platform team and entered the professional player area, and only by dealing with the grass platform team in a professional state can it achieve such a simple and complete victory.

In other words, with the current strength of the Liangzhou Corps, it can already walk sideways in most areas of the Han Empire, and there are very few troops that can confront him head-on.

In terms of combat experience, only the elite northern army of Luoyang and the battalions of Bingzhou and Youzhou can be compared with him.

It is not that other regions are without strong armies, either they are small in number or they are not in the state of standing armies.

If there is no professional training, just an excellent source of soldiers, that will not work, and a truly excellent and strong army not only needs excellent soldiers, but also needs perfect training, perfect organization, and long-term maintenance.

After that, Liu Bei handed over the tasks related to the rectification of logistics and the related tasks of cutting bamboo to his subordinates, and asked Yan Wen to take the lead in organizing the army and prisoners of war to cut down bamboo in Shu County, and then set off in batches and returned to Liangzhou.

Gao Wei was a little puzzled by Liu Bei's decision to bring all these captives back to Liangzhou, feeling that this was very expensive and a big burden for Liu Bei, and it was probably not appropriate to do so.

Facing Gao Wei's doubts, Liu Bei sighed.

"How difficult it is for the people, most of them are coerced to be thieves, they don't want to rebel, they just have no food to eat, they just want a way to live, give a way to live and keep themselves, after destroying the first evil, give them a way to live, that is, if they can live, why let them die? One more person, one more laborer, isn't it? ”

Gao Wei didn't say anything else except to sigh at Liu Bei's benevolence, what he was looking forward to more was the papermaking workshop that Liu Bei promised to help him establish.

With the papermaking workshop, he was able to make full use of the superior resources of Shu County to produce a large number of convenient and easy-to-use papers, and then spread these papers widely to provide scholars with better writing tools.

At that time, what kind of cultural pomp will it be?

In order to deal with the matter of bringing the captives back to Liangzhou, Liu Bei stayed in Chengdu for a while, and used military funds to buy some food around Chengdu to subsidize military supplies.

Out of gratitude to Liu Bei, Gao Wei and Guanghan Taishou Zhao Yao each supported Liu Bei with a part of their food.

Gao Wei also came forward to contact the major families in Shu County for Liu Bei, and took advantage of Liu Bei's prestige and the temptation of some educational resources to buy some grain from them at a lower price.

So Liu Bei successfully solved the food problem of bringing people back to Liangzhou.

As for those powerful clans in Shu County, they were actually very willing to help Liu Bei in this matter, they were not worried that Liu Bei would open up to them, but that Liu Bei would not open his mouth to them.

Liu Bei asks for something, and they can help, this is the royal process of building a relationship.

After learning about Liu Bei's needs from Gao Wei, a group of people were ecstatic, and with the intention of making friends with Liu Bei, they sold grain to Liu Bei at a relatively low price, and also gave away batches of additional grain, trying to exchange Liu Bei's favor and take advantage of Liu Bei's relationship.

Liu Bei's power in Liangzhou does not cover Yizhou, but Liu Bei's state studies in Liangzhou and his connections in Luoyang are passionately pursued by these wealthy families who are interested in family development and growth.

Liu Bei's power is local, but Liu Bei's influence can already rely on "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" to spread throughout the country.

Because of some business dealings with Liangzhou, they have all heard of what Liu Bei did in Liangzhou, and they have also heard about Liu Bei's centralization of power in Liangzhou and the establishment of state schools.

They really hope that they can pry some openings from Liu Bei's side, even if it is just to be a protégé of the Liu family, it is also a way for their family.

In this regard, Liu Bei did not refuse, but gladly accepted it.

Being able to get some local connections in Yizhou is also a way for him to intervene in the situation in Yizhou, although this road may not play a big role, but the difference between having and not is still very big.

So the major families in Shu County also got the moon first near Shuiloutai, and while giving gifts and food to Liu Bei, they took their own children and nephews to visit Liu Bei.

In order to obtain enough supplies, Liu Bei also planned to sell himself as goods at a good price, and also strive to sell a few more families and collect a few more wool, so he put on a pleasant appearance and met those who wanted to meet him in Chengdu.

Liu Bei talked and laughed with those people and had a cordial attitude, so the reputation of Corporal Liu Bei Lixian soon spread.

So more people wanted to meet Liu Bei, and wanted to win the opportunity for their children and nephews to enter Liangzhou Prefecture to study, for this reason, some people even rushed over from Guanghan County and Qianwei County, and hurried slowly, just to see Liu Bei and see if there was a good opportunity.

Liu Bei had the idea of picking wool to fight the autumn wind, and on the other hand, he also had the idea of accumulating contacts in Shuzhong, so he also inspected the children of Shuzhong who were brought by their parents to meet him, and thought about their knowledge and thinking ability with a little heart.

After some investigation, he determined that the academic ability of the sons and daughters of Shuzhong was obviously much better than that of the academic desert like Liangzhou, but for the core area of the Central Plains, it was still a lot worse.

But it's not important, since you want to accumulate connections in Shuzhong, you have to make a real gesture.

So after consideration, Liu Bei selected more than 30 children from large, medium and small families such as Du, Fei, Li, and Zhao as protégés among the families from Shu County, Guanghan County, and Qianwei County, and prepared to take them to Liangzhou to enroll in school.

For this reason, a large number of unsuccessful families felt very regretful and envious of this, and the selected families were overjoyed, and turned their heads and gave Liu Bei a larger amount of gifts and food.

As a result, Liu Bei successfully filled up the expenses required for this expedition, and even the cost of returning to Liangzhou with 100,000 prisoners was "reimbursed" by these more than 30 families and a group of other unjust families.

Xun Yu, Han Hao and others calculated an account in private, came to this conclusion, and then told Liu Bei the news with a happy face.

Liu Bei took the results of their calculations and looked at them again and again, and then couldn't help but sigh.

No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, this is really a good tradition, the poor don't dare to be poor in education, let alone the rich?

As long as the education problem is grasped, there is no fear that the rich will not pay for it.

The "Liangzhou State University" he opened has officially certified super high qualifications, which is basically equivalent to the officialdom through train, in order to catch this car, Liangzhou people have paid a great price, and there is no reason why Yizhou people do not need to pay the price.
