During this period when the whole country was engaged in large-scale construction, development, and promotion of the new tax law, Liu Bei did not make any new innovations.

He didn't even rush to promote the imperial examination system and the Jiupin Official Law, and he was very settled for a while, allowing people in the world to live well according to the new rules for a while, and giving them time to adapt to the new rules.

During this period of time, in addition to dealing with daily government affairs, Liu Bei devoted more energy to his family, cared more about his children, and paid more attention to their studies, especially his eldest son Liu Shen, who was also focused on schoolwork by Liu Bei.

For the destined future successor, Liu Bei actually doesn't really want to define him as a political successor from the beginning, but limited to the needs of the times and stability, Liu Shen must be the destined successor.

If his position is not secured, the situation in the Han Empire will definitely be turbulent.

In fact, according to Liu Bei's own feelings, he thinks that if Liu Shen was not born in the emperor's family, he should be more suitable to be a science and engineering scientist, a scientist in the traditional sense, to engage in research in mathematics and physics.

He found that in his academic studies at school, Liu Shen was especially good at mathematics and physics, and he couldn't put down the abridged version of the "Book of Ink" that was introduced into the school as a textbook, and often studied it with the Book of Ink after writing his school homework.

He is very interested in the principles of small hole imaging and the principle of tree shade, and often does experiments by himself to verify some experimental conclusions on the Ink Sutra, and then tries to explore the principles and find the laws.

Liu Bei has tested his homework many times, and found that he has strong logical thinking ability, and when he encounters some more difficult to explore problems, he has the spirit of stubbornness, and is also very good at discovering some mathematical principles, and reflects the way of solving problems into mathematical calculations, and uses mathematics to solve some problems he finds.

This kind of ability is not very possessed by Liu Bei himself, although Liu Bei knows a lot of physical laws and laws and the like, but they all belong to the state of knowing what it is and not knowing why it is, and it is a black eye for things like how to verify it.

Liu Bei prefers military and political affairs, and is good at killing people and shady people, and he is really unable to study mathematics and physics, a discipline that benefits mankind.

And his son is completely different.

Although Liu Shen has not achieved any results, Liu Bei feels that if he is given time and the opportunity to develop, he will definitely be able to make achievements in the fields of mathematics and physics in the future.

But it's a pity that as Liu Xuande's eldest son, Liu Shen must take the emperor as his only career choice, not a mathematician or a physicist as his career choice.

Therefore, Liu Bei often sighed at Liu Shen's talent, and also talked to him about this issue, hoping that he could understand his situation, and Liu Shen expressed his understanding of Liu Bei.

"The father means, the son also understands very well, but just as the father likes to eat all kinds of food to relax his spirit, the son also wants to relax in this way, and when the government affairs are busy in the future, there will always be some time for relaxation and rest, at that time, maybe you can do these things."

Liu Bei was speechless at this.

Relax your mind by engaging in academics?

Are you going to learn from Xu Huang?

Xu Huang is a well-known general in the army who likes to engage in academics, and he likes to do math problems when he is resting, and he reads happily with a book of nine chapters of arithmetic.

People in the army said that if Xu Huang hadn't been a soldier, he would definitely be an old pedant, the kind who would be able to teach students in Taixue in the future, but unfortunately, he became a general.

As a result, the son of the future emperor is also interested in science?

Could it be that all the members of the Third Reich were hardcore ruthless people who would be able to have a personal column to explain in the future?

Liu Bei sighed at this.

However, Liu Shen is obviously a smart and excellent child, so Liu Bei is not worried that he will grow crooked, or not have enough ability to wield power.

In fact, Liu Bei's requirements for him are not high, it is enough to reach the level of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, and he does not want him to forge ahead to what extent, he can adhere to his own policy unwaveringly, Xiao Gui Cao Sui, and be a suitable Taizong, then it is okay.

An empire can only enter a normal ruling cycle from the beginning of Taizong, and the rule of Taizu is actually quite special and accidental, and does not have universal significance.

As for the other children, most of them are still young, only the second son Liu Ze and Liu Shen are about the same age, compared to Liu Shen's scholarly temperament, in addition to his good grades, this kid has a bit of a prison temperament everywhere, and his brother is completely different from two existences.

Liu Shen was also a tight-skinned child when he was a child, but after he came into contact with mathematics and physics, his temperament changed to be more calm, and he began to be fascinated by study.

And Liu Ze is different, he is like the kind of energy monster who is full of endless energy, full of energy, and even a little too energetic.

For him, the exam is a task, and studying is also a task, a task given to him by his father and mother, and after completing the task, the rest of the time is his own.

He likes to dance knives and guns, like horseback archery, like hunting, and likes all the things that traditional Han warriors like, so in the entire second-generation circle, he has the best relationship with Ji Jian's son Ji Xiao.

Guan Yu's son Guan Ning and Zhang Fei's son Zhang Chi belong to the existence of being beaten by Ji Xiao in every sense, and their results can't be compared, and they can't compare with force, and the two of them can barely compete with Ji Xiao when they tie together.

Liu Ze was not Ji Xiao's opponent originally, but after he reached the age of twelve, it seemed that his body began to develop, his strength grew, and he began to burst out with bravery.

Although he can't beat Ji Xiao single-handedly, he is the only second-generation kid who can go through thirty rounds under him, and he can beat Guan Ning and Zhang Chi single-handedly, becoming the second strongest in the second-generation circle.

As a result, Guan Ning and Zhang Chi's rankings slipped again.

Ji Xiao originally just regarded Liu Ze as an ordinary friend, but since Liu Ze was able to survive thirty rounds under him and fought with him back and forth, Ji Xiao began to pay attention to Liu Ze, and often met with Liu Ze to fight together and test their bravery, and the excess energy of the two was able to vent in the mutual fights again and again.

And such a strong battle often makes the boys in the second-generation circle stunned, and they feel that these two guys are not people.

In every military skills course, you can always see these two people fighting with weapons first, and then fighting shirtless, Liu Ze can't hold on to the end, but when he is full of physical strength, he can confront Ji Xiao head-on for a while.

The veteran who taught military skills commented on Liu Ze, saying that he just had not fully developed his body and suffered a loss at a young age, if his body developed, he might not be Ji Xiao's opponent in the future, and Ji Xiao's current advantage may not be maintained.

Liu Bei naturally knew these things, and was curious about his second son's [Guan Zhang Zhiyong].

Once, he personally went to watch the military skills course of Sili Academy, and witnessed the hand-to-hand combat between Liu Ze and Ji Xiao, and felt that his second son was really a little unexpected brave and tenacious, such a character is actually very suitable for being a general in the army.

Even...... If he still has some political ability, he is a good candidate to be a trailblazer.

At that time, Liu Bei thought of the future division plan that was still in the imagination.

If these excellent children stay in the Central Plains and stay in the Third Reich, then they can only become meaningless kings.

He put so much effort and resources into cultivating this child, not to train him into a sect king who doesn't have to do anything to do the best thing.

He has something to look forward to with the children.

Previously, he had considered the Western Zhou Dynasty's sub-feudal model, and carefully thought about the advantages and disadvantages of the sub-feudal model, considering that the sub-feudal model requires a long time and a large amount of material input to make the sub-feudal countries gain a firm foothold, the requirements for the mother country are very large, and the requirements for the enemy are also relatively harsh, requiring the enemy not to be too strong.

And there are many uncontrollable factors in overseas sub-sealing, all of which do not require a large amount of resource investment.

At that time, it took several generations of Zhou people to gain a firm foothold, and at present, Liu Bei and the Third Empire may not have the efforts of several generations to calmly let the feudal vassal states gain a foothold, and they may need to gain a firm foothold in a relatively short period of time.

That's too much to ask.

However, it is man-made, and the subjective initiative of human beings is still very strong, and if we can find a reliable enough transportation route and open up the transportation route, at least the implementation of the feudal policy around the Han Empire can be considered.

His second son, with such excellent talents, stayed in the Central Plains as a sect king, which is simply a tyrannical thing.

Not to mention his son, the Third Reich was limited in the way it could offer talent.

With the growth of the population and the further improvement of the education system and talent selection system, the Han Empire will also have the involution dilemma that occurred in the Song and Ming dynasties in the future.

Liu Bei didn't want to experience such a thing once.

Therefore, at that time, it may not be a feasible route to evacuate talents to the vassal states that are in the process of starting a business, to serve the vassal states that are developing independently, to be officials in the vassal states, and to pursue their own life ideals.

As long as there are places that need people, as long as there are jobs that need people, and as long as people can find a suitable way to develop and rise, they will never have no way out, and they will not easily fall into the dilemma of involution.

Talents will also be able to make the best use of them, so that they will not be ruined, and their talents will not be able to be brought into play, and they can only do indifferent work in the empire.

Liu Bei always believes that there will only be more talents, not less, and what is lacking is always platforms and opportunities, not talents.

Just like the story of Bole and Maxima, what is missing is always Bole, not Maxima, so how to provide a platform for Maxima is something that a good ruler needs to consider.

In this matter, it is difficult for the Great Unification Empire to achieve its mission goals, and the empire's finances and positions are not enough for everyone to shine and achieve their goals in life.

The Western Zhou sub-sealing model happens to be a replacement scheme under the condition of insufficient productivity.

There are no jobs in the mother country, come, I still have seventy, eighty or ninety external vassal states, there are a large number of jobs that need to be done, there are a lot of opportunities waiting for you, as long as you are brave, as long as you have an enterprising spirit, you can shine in those vassal states, it is a blue ocean, waiting for you to open up, isn't it?

Perhaps, the treatment that the vassal states can give is not superior enough, and there is danger, but compared with the treatment, whether there is that opportunity may be more important, with the opportunity, there is the possibility of pursuing treatment, if there is no chance, what kind of treatment to talk about?

What?

Can't?

Then don't blame me, you can only blame yourself for not having the ability and guts.

Therefore, Liu Bei has been contributing to the future sub-sealing plan, designing the system, referring to the case of the Western Zhou Dynasty, grasping the pain points of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, exploring the laws of the industry, and striving to iterate on a new way of playing, so as not to follow in the footsteps of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and at the same time to avoid the footsteps of the Mongol Empire.

However, whether it is the Eastern Zhou Dynasty or the Mongol Empire, there are still "successors" with more prosperous martial virtues in the end.

That is to say, if this mode is operated well, it is sealed, and if it is not operated well, it is Gu raising, but whether the operation is good or bad, whether it is sealing or Gu raising, it is better than so much meat that can't be eaten and can only rot in the bowl.

So, you have to get out, you have to get out, you have to get out no matter what.

The road of ancient China does not work, and to the extreme is to bring clear, and the best result is to strengthen the version of the clear, and there is no different result.

Liu Bei didn't want that outcome.

So when the news of Dong Zhuo came from Liangzhou, Liu Bei knew that the Han Empire's strategy of going out had taken a solid step.

Because the news that Dong Zhuo came back was......

Because he couldn't bear the behavior of offending the majesty of the Han envoys and infringing on the national character of the Han Dynasty, he and Zhao Qi, the captain officer of the Tiger Cavalry Military Academy who escorted him forward, rushed to attack the king city of the rear of the Cheshi with a thousand iron horses, smashed it, and destroyed the country in one fell swoop.

The head of the royal family of the Cheshi Houguo was also cut off by him, and the head of the Western Regions was passed on to the Western Regions, so as to warn the Western Regions countries not to continue to be embarrassed with the Han Dynasty.

He told Liu Bei that his plan to inspect the Western Regions had been initially successful, and the obstacle had been removed by him, and he also asked Liu Bei to rest assured that he would be able to successfully complete the task.

Good guy, when Liu Bei learned the news, he was really surprised.

Let you engage in diplomacy, not let you destroy the country.

Why did you start Zhang Fei's work as a big Honglu?

However, after learning about this matter carefully, Liu Bei felt that Dong Zhuo and Zhao Qi did the right thing.

In the first year of Zhenguan, Liu Bei became the emperor, Dong Zhuo became his great Honglu, and then, Dong Zhuo began to be busy with the affairs of the Western Regions.

At the end of the first year of Zhenguan, Dong Zhuo went to Liangzhou, stayed in Liangzhou for a while, collected some information, and then officially sent an envoy to the Western Regions in the middle of the second year of Zhenguan.

In addition to inspecting the Western Regions and declaring the sovereignty of the Han Empire, the more important purpose of this mission to the Western Regions was to understand the current political ecology and environment of the Western Regions and to make a prospect for the Third Reich's strategy of returning to the Western Regions.

Now that such a long time has passed, Dong Zhuo can be regarded as sending Liu Bei more reliable news.
