Just when Lu Bu wanted to recommend himself to Dong Zhuo Mao Sui and go to Sizhou to use military affairs to carry out the imperial examination, major events broke out in Chang'an and Luoyang respectively.

The students in both places began to make trouble.

As the first institution of learning in the Han Dynasty, and at the same time carrying the largest number of official students in the world, Taixue has long become a gold-plated golden harbor for the children of major families in various states and counties.

As the first institution of learning in the Han Dynasty, before raising filial piety, almost all filial piety everywhere would be gilded in Taixue as a stepping stone for themselves to enter the political field.

Today, the 30,000 Taixue students have all been selected at various levels, fighting openly and secretly, competing and fighting, standing out from the crowd and entering this highest institution that represents the word future.

When Dong Zhuo moved the capital, it stands to reason that Taixue was also to be moved.

However, among all the institutions in Taixue, the personnel are the most complex, and at the same time, the most bloated place, with more than 30,000 students studying alone.

Moreover, the Xiping Stone Scripture has been erected at the door of the Taixue of Luoyang, with the current migration and preservation technology, if the Xiping Stone Tablet is forcibly moved to Guanzhong, it is likely to cause wear and tear on the Stone Tablet, which is also what many high-level people in the court do not want to see.

Dong Zhuo just pushed the boat down the river.

For Dong Zhuo himself, he has always hated Taixue, the highest institution of learning in the Han Dynasty, and in his opinion, the current Luoyang Taixue has completely lost the function of cultivating outstanding talents for the Han Dynasty, and it is completely a cradle for cultivating protégés for the high-level valve reading gate.

For this reason, Dong Zhuo set up a branch of Taixue in Chang'an, and he used the problems of Xiping Shijing and the lack of houses as an excuse, but only relocated thousands of Guanzhong children, and most of the remaining Taixue students were left in Luoyang by him.

Nowadays, no one knows which is the main school of Taixue, let alone the branch of Taixue.

To tell the truth, at the beginning of the relocation of the capital, he already had a plan to abolish Taixue, but there was no way to directly say this matter, so he could only adopt this way, not to classify the main school of Taixue into Chang'an, but to leave most of the Taixue institutions in Luoyang, only to be divided and eliminated in the future.

But in fact, Dong Zhuo's careful thinking could not be concealed from the family or those students.

In particular, most of the tens of thousands of Taixue students are radicals.

Chen Fan, Li Ying and others fought against the eunuchs, and got the support and response of the eunuchs, and the students were also the targets of the eunuchs, and many people who were implicated in the party were imprisoned, and in the first year of Xiping alone, the number of students who were arrested and imprisoned by the eunuchs amounted to more than 1,000 people.

This shows that in political struggles, students have extremely strong experience.

Dong Zhuo's ghostly eyes can't escape these people's eyes at all, and the students are just holding back their big moves and waiting.

Finally, with the implementation of the imperial examination, the students began to take action!

They acted separately in Luoyang and Chang'an, and held a well-thought-out revolt plan against the imperial examination, and for a while, both were in turmoil!

……

……

Yecheng, in the council chamber.

Su Shuang came to see Liu Jian today, and according to Liu Jian's request, he reported on the construction of the port near the Bohai Sea in Youzhou and the design of the ships.

Over the years, the government bureau, in cooperation with the Hebei Shang Commerce and Trade Association, has been supervising the construction of Tianjin Port.

Logically speaking, supervising the shipbuilding industry is a big project, which is more laborious and costly, but since the development of Hebei's mining industry, various downward industries have been built, so that Hebei's trade with the Central Plains, Xuzhou, and Guanzhong has been in a leading position.

Even in the Xianbei and other grassland alien races, now in the face of the northern Han Dynasty, the import trade volume has begun to grow amazingly.

Hebei's wealth is now skyrocketing, which is also the key to Liu Jian's daring to prosper the shipbuilding industry.

In terms of foreign trade, the key lies in coal.

Under the promotion of Xun Yu and others, the use of coal to ignite the fire for the winter, as well as the use of soil kang, began to gradually become popular in the north, and now it is not only in the Han Dynasty, but also outside the country.

Liu Jian's way of doing business is relatively unique, and in terms of building houses on the soil, he does not earn a little money from foreigners outside the Han Dynasty.

The technology of the kang is given for free, and even some tribes outside the country do not have a mature building system, the Youzhou government will take the initiative to send a "technical support team" to help them build houses, and at the same time help them build the kang and set up suitable pipes according to the terrain, and teach them the principle.

The people of the Han Dynasty did not hide their selfishness, and the technical aspect of building an earthen kang house can be said to be a hand-in-hand teaching, as long as you want to learn, we will teach, and all of them are free, without taking a penny.

At most, you can take care of the food.

Under such a policy, the views of the people of the northern foreign nationalities towards the Han Dynasty people changed, and they felt that the Han Dynasty people were really too kind!

In the past, the alien races in the north repeatedly plundered the border of the Han Dynasty, killed people and goods, and did everything they could, but now these Han people, after the relationship with us has eased, not only do not hold grudges, but also teach us the methods of building earthen kang and earthen houses! And you don't take a penny?

What a big heart!

However, as the tukang tufang became widespread among the alien groups in the north and was accepted by the majority of the people, the business scriptures of the Han people began to appear.

Last winter, the coal of the Han Dynasty was sold to the north at a very low price, so that most of the aliens who owned the earthen kang lived a very warm winter, and this winter was so comfortable!

They have never enjoyed such a warm winter day, and they can be so afraid of the bitter cold.

A happy life seems to be coming!

But after spring, the price of coal in the Han Dynasty suddenly skyrocketed!

And this increase in price is suffocating, almost unbelievable!

Last year, it was so cheap, but for some reason, the price of coal has increased by more than five or six times this spring!

The people of the steppe tribes panicked, although they don't use coal now, but once winter comes, their life will be difficult.

Moreover, the coal of the Han Dynasty government was monopolized by the government, which means that there was almost no private coal in the Han Dynasty, and only before winter would the government sell it to the private sector on demand.

In other words, if the grassland tribes want to rob coal, there is nowhere to rob it.

Robbing ordinary people, they don't have it in their hands, and even if they have it, it's not enough.

Do you still go across Youzhou and go to Wuzhong County to fight in the mining area?

That's basically no return!

Xianbei, the Huns, and even Wuhuan, who is in the midst of a civil war, are now panicking!

Both large and small tribes sent people to Youzhou to discuss this matter with Xun Yu.

If there had been no earthen houses and no coal, their lives might have passed like this.

But now, the thing has reached the hands of their people, and people from all tribes are widely promoting the use of this thing, especially after a warm winter last winter, the vast number of foreign people have become inseparable from this thing.

It's not just about heating, it's about saving their lives in the winter.

All the alien envoys came to negotiate with Xun Yu, hoping that he would be able to lower the price of coal.

Xun Yu also expressed it to these people. It's not that he doesn't want to lower the price of coal, it's that he really can't.

Xun Yu told these alien envoys. You have no idea how difficult it is to mine coal, which not only has to be mined, but also processed, and the labor required is far greater than that of ironmaking.

It's not that I don't want to sell it to you cheaper, but if I sell it to you cheaper, won't we Han people lose money ourselves?

Then our Han Dynasty might as well not sell it.

The envoys of the various tribes are people who live on the steppe all the year round, do you say they are simple-minded? It's not that simple.

But they definitely don't understand this matter, because the grassland people have never been exposed to graphite mining, including refining and processing.

They didn't even know what the graphite mine was like.

So, Xun Yu kindly gave them an idea.

Look at our Han Dynasty, graphite mining in our own territory is so troublesome, it is both laborious and laborious, and it costs money, and in the end you are too expensive.

Otherwise, you will also organize men and horses to explore the grasslands within your borders.

Maybe a few graphite mines can be opened in the grasslands.

When the time comes, all of you will be able to make a joint venture, not only to produce people, but also to process, but also to be self-sufficient, our Han Dynasty is a state of etiquette, with benevolence and righteousness.

If you don't know how to mine or process, it doesn't matter, we'll take care of the technology.

We can teach you how to do it.

Let's see if this idea works, right?

Xun Yu said that the sky was full of flowers, but a group of envoys from different tribes understood it very well in their hearts.

He must not be able to say it.

Where can I find a coal mine?

If it's that easy to find, what are we talking to you about here?

Seeing that his first suggestion was not supported by the emissaries of the alien race.

Xun Yu then thought of another way.

In fact, the five baht money of our Han is still relatively fine, and presumably you don't have much in your hands, and the market price of coal is also unstable.

If it really doesn't work, we will set up a special foreign trade transit station, and you aliens will trade with us, and exchange your goods for our coal, won't we?

When the alien envoys saw it, it was all that.

Then what do you want us to exchange with you?

Xun Yu said, things like you grassland tribes can make us look at very limited, in fact, they are mainly cattle, sheep, horses or something, isn't it?

The messengers of the tribes asked, "Excuse me, at what value is the exchange of coal and horses, cattle and sheep?"

So, Xun Yu probably told them a exchange ratio that the Han Dynasty people thought was appropriate.

After hearing this, the steppe messengers almost vomited blood en masse.

Uncle Xun Fang, this is not good.

If you were to exchange for this, we would not have enough horses, cattle and sheep at all.

Xun Yu then said an idea of his own for the reference of the aliens.

Xun Yu said: I think, you people occupy the vast grasslands of northern Xinjiang, and you don't have the finesse to raise cattle and sheep at all, but you can come up with so many cattle and sheep just by free-range grazing.

If you can carry out large-scale animal husbandry and organize farms on the grassland according to the methods of our Han people, and we Han people teach you grain planting techniques, won't it be the end of your exchange of extra cattle, sheep and grain for coal every year?
