This is the last position at present, Liu Bei is still retained, waiting for the vacant position.

If the Xun clan can take this position away before the final battle, then this position must belong to the Xun clan, if the Xun clan reacts after the final battle......

This position will not belong to the Xun clan in any case, but to a family that has had the courage to make decisions before this.

If no one takes it, the position will disappear forever, and the new one that will emerge will no longer have everything that came with the old one.

Anyway, your Xun family doesn't have me, and it's also the Valle Reading family, since you have such good self-confidence, without this position, it makes no difference to you, right?

Liu Bei no longer paid attention to these things, on the one hand, he accompanied the women in the family, trying his best to spend more time on them, and on the other hand, he took time to go to the state school for a walk and dealt with the affairs of the previous problem students.

For example, Ma Chao.

After his "teaching", this student with a full problem can be regarded as having learned a lesson, and he studied hard for three months in a down-to-earth manner, and achieved qualified results in the quarterly examination, and did not fall into the fate of being persuaded to quit.

And the teacher Ma Jie, who was beaten and confronted by him before, still relented after he personally stood at the door of the dormitory with gifts for an hour, or forgave Ma Chao considering Ma Chao's father Ma Teng.

So Ma Chao can finally continue his studies in the state school.

At this meeting, Ma Chao obviously had some changes, which was manifested in his enthusiasm for his studies.

"Your teachings inspired me a lot, and after that, I studied hard for a while, and found that some things are really not completely useless."

In Liu Bei's office, he talked to Ma Chao alone, and chatted with Ma Chao about his mental journey for a while, which he thought was very interesting.

"What's more useful?"

"Arithmetic, I think this is useful."

Ma Chao said with some joy: "Instructor Ma said, commanding an army to fight is not something that can be summarized in a bloody battle on the battlefield, fighting a war, and winning a decisive victory on the battlefield is the last step, and before that, there is still a lot of work to be done, so that the army can support the decisive victory on the battlefield."

Otherwise, there is no need for the enemy to fight, the army itself will collapse, before that, I didn't expect so much, after Instructor Ma said, I realized that fighting a war turned out to be such a complicated thing, Instructor Ma also gave an example, saying that he had participated in the affairs of army logistics, and used what he experienced to tell us the importance of arithmetic. ”

"For example?"

"For example, the amount of food needed for the army to march, station, and fight is different, and it needs to be allocated separately."

Ma Chao's hands gestured back and forth, and said happily: "Then the food has to take into account everyone other than the soldiers, including the cattle and horses needed for the march, as well as donkeys and mules, these are the existence of food that needs to be eaten.

Then the army also needs materials for accommodation, materials for clothing, medicinal materials, all kinds of cooking utensils, and money for rewarding soldiers and motivating soldiers. ”

Liu Bei was very satisfied with Ma Chao's perception and smiled.

"That's right, fighting a war is a science, a very profound knowledge, and a decisive victory on the battlefield is the last step, and in order for the army to go to this last step, what needs to be done in the early stage is unimaginable to ordinary people, and the most used knowledge is arithmetic.

If you can master arithmetic well, fighting a war is considered an entry for you, a general who does not know arithmetic, can not accurately grasp all the materials he has, if he can't master the number of his own materials, he will be deceived and deceived, how can he win? ”

Ma Chao nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice.

"You're so right, I've been thinking about this question these days, and then I feel that learning is really useful, if I want to become a very powerful general, and I don't master some more knowledge, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it at all."

"Enlightenment is very fast, ordinary people are not as fast as you reflect."

Liu Bei smiled: "Did someone call you?" Could it be that your father beat you up again? ”

Ma Chao touched his head embarrassedly.

"The beating is a beating, and the gift of apology is still prepared by my father, but what is really important is that after I went home before, I found that my father was actually asking the teachers of the state school to help him with the knowledge of arithmetic."

"Hahahaha!"

Liu Bei shook his head and laughed: "Yes, I have strict requirements for officers at all levels, if every officer wants to be promoted, not only must have military merits, but also have knowledge that matches the position, the higher the position, the higher the requirements for knowledge, and they need to pass the examination, otherwise they cannot be promoted." ”

This is true.

There were no conditions before, everyone was born in the wilderness, and they didn't care much about knowledge, they all relied on talent and the accumulation of a little experience, and Liu Bei didn't have the time to improve the quality of officers.

But this will not last long.

So now that there is money, conditions, and the environment, Liu Bei has made requirements for officers at all levels while carrying out basic education for soldiers.

When an officer is promoted one level at a time, he not only needs to have clear military merits, but also needs to have a certain level of cultural attainment, and he needs to take a promotion examination.

Officers at every level have the cultural quality requirements of officers at each level, and if they fail to meet this requirement, even if their merits are met, they cannot be promoted, and they must take remedial classes and remedial examinations until they pass the examination.

You can only complete the promotion after passing the exam, otherwise you will go to tutoring and remedial exams.

Considering everyone's worrying cultural foundation, Liu Bei deliberately stipulated that there were three chances for the make-up examination, and the assessment paper was still the proposition that Liu Bei personally participated in, which was not very difficult, and was mostly practical questions.

If you can't pass this, you will be deemed to have given up your qualifications for promotion.

A person who is too stupid cannot take on a higher military position, and cannot entrust the lives of more soldiers to him, otherwise it will be bad.

This order was implemented from the beginning of the fifth year of Zhongping, and officers who had completed their promotion before were also required to take remedial studies and participate in examinations to prove that they were competent for this military position, otherwise they would also have to retake examinations, and everything should be done in accordance with the rules.

For a time, the learning atmosphere of the officers in the Liangzhou Corps was quite strong, and a large group of officers were tutoring in a group, just to be able to successfully pass the assessment.

Ma Teng has already failed once, and he doesn't know how much to complain about Liu Bei for doing such a thing to embarrass him, but he can't help but work hard and not take the make-up exam.

So, he could only invite a teacher from the state school to help him tutor, and he held the teaching materials there all day long, and those who didn't know thought he loved to learn.

Ma Teng's appearance of being tossed and tutoring was seen by Ma Chao, and he suddenly understood the importance of learning more deeply.

If you don't have culture, you can't be promoted to a military position at all, let alone become a general, under Liu Bei, an officer can't be an officer without culture, and in addition to being an officer, you must be able to pass the exam.

So, Ma Chao quickly understood why the teachers in the state school always told them with a tiger face - people who don't study hard can't do anything well!

Really, Ma Teng told him with practical actions that if you don't study hard, you really can't do anything, because you have nothing to do.

So Ma Chao can only study hard, and he especially cares about the subject of arithmetic, he may be distracted in other classes, but in the arithmetic class, he is absolutely attentive and meticulous, and belongs to the level of asking the instructor if he has questions.

Ma Chao can reflect so quickly, Liu Bei is very satisfied, he encouraged Ma Chao and encouraged him to study hard.
