Chapter 827 The Prince's Education

After the contract was completed, Duanmu Jian also investigated the truth and reality in Shuzhong, so he quickly returned to the capital. After that, Luo Zhaoyuan carefully brought his troops and officials from Shannan East Road, and the soldiers returned to Shuzhong. The land between Gyeonggi and Qianzhong Road became the territory of the Jia Dynasty. Duanmu Jian was also granted the title of political affairs hall, and by the way he won himself the title of viscount and became the new political star of the Jia Dynasty.

Accepting Shannan Dongdao was both beneficial and troublesome for the Jia Dynasty. The advantage was that it had gained such a vast land and a million people with great force. The disadvantage was that it had brought a big burden to the Jia Dynasty's finances. This place was exploited by the small and medium-sized courts in Sichuan for many years, and the people were in poverty. Not only could they not provide the Jia Dynasty with abundant wealth, but the court also needed to strip money and grain to rest and recuperate the land.

In order to show the court's importance to the East of Shannan Road, Li You transferred Zheng Feihuang from Huainan Road to take charge of the East of Shannan Road, and sent Zhou Bofu as the commander to support Zheng Feihuang, so that he could solve the problems of land annexation and many bandits as soon as possible. Shandong Dongdae is mountainous and the cavalry lacks room for actual combat, so it is most appropriate to be responsible for Zhou Bofu, the infantry commander. He can also use this to train the soldiers who have newly joined the Jiazhou Army and practice mountain combat strategies to prepare for the future attack on Shuzhong.

After Zhou Bofu arrived at the East Road of Shannan, he did not directly start strangling the bandits, but posted a notice, declaring that if he had not harmed the people, he had to rebel just because he could not continue, as long as they were willing to go down the mountain to surrender to the Jiazhou army, he would not blame him. As for those bandit groups who did evil, they would only punish the evil and never ask about it. If someone could take the bandit leader down the mountain with the leader, they would also receive commendation from the Jiazhou army.

After posting this notice, Zhou Bofu led the army to camp and train in the East of Shannan Road while choosing a suitable place to camp and train. While taking the staff team and elite soldiers, he kept familiar with the terrain of the place, inquiring about the bandit strongholds in the East of Shannan Road, and sent many people into Shu to investigate the situation in Qianzhong Road, Shannan West Road and Jiannan Road.

In addition, with his military support, Zheng Feihuang was able to make great efforts in Shandong East Road, remeasure the land and clear out hidden lands. During this period, it was not without local gentry who relied on being a local snake to constantly obstruct the work of clearing the land. However, under the thunder of Zhou Bofu, these local tyrants were uprooted one after another, and countless lonely and helpless people obtained their own land, and the property of these people also became Zhou Bofu's military expenses and the official expenses in Zheng Feihuang's yamen.

At the same time, Gu General, Jiang Suiyun and Si Nongqing also sent their capable personnel to survey mineral resources, plan roads, build schools, and teach farming in Shandong. The atmosphere of Shandong Shandong suddenly changed. The rebels who hid on the mountain and were reluctant to come down for a long time also came to the yamen to surrender under the persuasion of their families.

After ensuring that these people did not commit the crime of harming the people, Zheng Feihuang and Zhou Bofu arranged these people. Those who were determined to join the army were screened and included in the Jiazhou army. Although these people lacked discipline and were far inferior to those of the veterans in the Jiazhou army, they also had their own unique skills. They crossed mountains and ridges like walking on flat ground, which was the best source of mountain troops. In order to pacify Shu in the future, Zhou Bofu also absorbed many such people to join the army.

If they don't want to join the army, there are also suitable arrangements, either to go to the mines and workshops to find an errand, or to be distributed to the land for them to farm. If they had had enough torture before, they would not want to stay in the sad land of Shandong Dongdao. There is a large area of ​​unfinished land waiting for them to farm. When they arrive there, they will get far more land than Shandong Dongdao. As long as they cultivate for three consecutive years, the land they have cleared will belong to Tarn himself. The court will also provide them with seeds, farm tools and initial funds. They do not have to pay a penny of tax in the first three years, which has attracted many people to enter Hedongdao. The population pressure on Shandong Dongdao has greatly reduced, and Hedongdao has gradually become full of vitality with their efforts.

The court was slowly changing the situation of Shandong, Hedong and Guannei Road. As long as these places recovered, the Jia Dynasty would gather a huge army again to finally resolve the matters of Shu, Mobei grassland and Hedong Road. However, before that, a brief peace occurred in the world.

At this time, Li You also welcomed his second and third children. Li Lingyue gave birth to a son in the West Garden, named Li Xu, and Zheng Yan'er gave birth to a princess named Li Jia. His eldest son Li Jue is already at the time to enter school, and the issue of how to cultivate offspring has gradually been put on the agenda.

Li You still tends to the former plan between the founding of the chief and the Xianxian. After all, this plan seems to be more conducive to the stability of the court, so if nothing unexpected happens, Li Jue will become the crown prince.

If Zhou Nan thought, she would rather select knowledgeable scholars to the palace to teach Li Jue, but Li You didn't like this plan very much.

Since ancient times, except for the emperors who were one or two generations of emperors when they founded, most of the other emperors were raised in the deep palaces, which formed a paradox. The emperor was a very strict task, requiring them to have a deep understanding of the operating rules of the empire and have a keen eye without being blinded by the ministers.

But it is too difficult to rely on these people who have rarely been exposed to the sufferings of the people and only learned knowledge from books to do this. With their shallow understanding of the world, how can they beat those cunning court officials and thus hold the entire empire firmly in their hands? Not to mention that the knowledge they learned from books was processed by court officials, which is not without the taste of seeking skin from tigers?

Moreover, in Li You's plan, Confucianism will no longer be the foundation for the emperor to deal with the government, so Zhou Nan's suggestion was tactfully but firmly refuted by him. He had his own plans for how to cultivate descendants.

"Now, several primary schools have been built in central Beijing, including many famous teachers, which are dedicated to the study of wealthy families in central Beijing. Therefore, let Jue'er study with them!" It is better to let his heirs have more contact with the outside world, so Li You planned to let him study with the outside students...
