Chapter 216 A Hundred Year Plan, Yangzhou Upheaval(1/2)
Fu Xie left, Zhang Ning left, Zhao Yun and Zhang He left, too.
This time, Liu Qing did not lead the troops himself. Because all the troops were acting together, he was in charge of Yecheng.
Furthermore, whether it is Gao Shun and Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Zhang He, or Zhang Ning, Liu Qing is more at ease.
A major daily routine after returning to Ye was to check and reply to local newspapers and accompany Liu Qing. Cai Yan was happy. Even if Liu Qing was not around, she persisted in this habit.
"Husband, Nanyang came to report that Sun Jian passed through Nanyang County and continued to move south. Now he has entered the territory of Jiangxia. Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia who was attacking Nanyang, has returned to the defense."
Sun Jian felt familiar with Huang Zu, and Liu Qing felt that Sun Jian was fighting for Yuan Shu in the past. When he fought for himself, would he repeat the mistakes of history?
"Sun Jian's attack on Changsha and going deep into the hinterland of Jingzhou is a taboo in military strategists. Moreover, once the Battle of Jiangxia breaks out, Liu Biao will probably have no intention of attacking Nanyang. Sun Jian will really cause trouble!"
Cai Yan silently put down the order and took another one.
"Zhao Ji, how is the urban elementary school museum built?"
"The current completion can only accommodate dozens of people, but the newly built batch can accommodate ten times the number of people, which is just a husband and ordinary people, and are still relatively in poverty. Will he really be willing to pay for his children's education?"
Liu Qing smiled and said confidently: "Zhao Ji only knows the hardship of the people, but she doesn't know that a year or two ago, they might not even be able to have a full meal. Improvement of people's livelihood is not something that can be achieved overnight. I am already very pleased to be able to achieve this. As for whether I am willing or not, if I order to recruit soldiers, craftsmen and literate people in the future, I will be given priority. Even for those with excellent learning and open their careers, do you think they will not be willing?"
"Open the career?" Cai Yan covered his mouth and was shocked: "Honey, be careful of his words. This is the foundation of the country and should not be discussed absurdly."
This is the education that Cai Yan received, and the rules and regulations set by the gentry. It is more like the compromise product of the long-term game between the Han Dynasty court and the local gentry. He governs the family with classics and the country with classics. Whoever has the right to interpret the classics will have the right to speak.
As the authority of the court became worse and worse, the authority of the gentry became more and more intense. They each supported their own forces, competed for the world, split and merged, and eventually evolved into the Three Kingdoms.
Although Cao Cao was supported by the Yingchuan gentry, he was only talented and competed with the gentry openly and secretly. Unfortunately, after Cao Cao died, Cao Pi immediately compromised and pursued the nine-rank central system. His family background became an important indicator for assessment. The gentry almost completely monopolized the career of the officialdom and formed a family.
Therefore, what Liu Qing has to do is a more difficult thing than unifying the world.
With the unification of force, Liu Qing only needed to accumulate grain for three years to sank the Central Plains and naturalize the barbarians. It was no problem. The difficult thing was governance. If the governance could not keep up in the future, there would be no way to talk about the real unification.
Therefore, we can only sit up from the most basic elementary school, let all the young people under our rule read and read, and personally open up a promising and promising leap for them. In this way, the enthusiasm of the people can be truly mobilized and the entire society will be full of vitality. Liu Qing's cognition has ended here.
Liu Qing reached out to take Cai Yan's little hand, covered her palm, and said seriously: "There is no need to be a taboo to say this. If my queen dares not say it, then how can I change it?"
Cai Yan nodded.
"Look, my king's command, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Zhang He, are all civilians, and many of them are even Yellow Turbans. However, the Shi family is not completely undesirable. Otherwise, I would not value Xun Yu. He is from one of the largest aristocratic families in the world."
"What my husband said is very true!"
"Also, I have another idea. Longshan Academy is about to be completed. I hope that students who have passed the elementary school can go to Longshan and learn the true ability to manage the family and govern the country and pacify the world. I hope that my father-in-law can help me teach in Longshan. I hope Zhaoji will say a few words for me."
"Let my father go? But his official in the court..."
"The official position is retained, and the court officials are nothing to do in Yecheng now. What do you think?"
"Okay, I will go back to my parents' house tomorrow and talk to my father."
Liu Qing rubbed Cai Yan's hand and smiled and said, "I'm sorry Zhao Ji!"
In addition to Cai Yong and Liu Qing's goals, there are Xun Shuang, Hu Zhao, Lu Zhi, Ma Riyan, etc. If these talents can be gathered, studied and preached, and opened to the world, it can only be said that it is so terrifying.
In the evening, Liu Qing schemingly found Xun Caiyuan. When his daughter talked about something, she would have the effect of twice the result with half the effort.
When going to Xun Cai, Liu Qing made both psychological and physiological preparations. If Xun Cai wanted to do her job for her, she had to satisfy her wishes.
Xun Cai's wish has always been very simple, to have a son.
Unfortunately, Liu Qing has been in war for a year or two, so her wish is still the same.
The night was slightly cool, and Liu Qing was sweating all over. He was about to lie down and rest for a while, but the pillow was suddenly pulled away by Xun Cai.
In the hazy night, Liu Qing looked confused.
"What's the girl doing?"
"Thank you, the king. I asked the midwife. After sex, I put the pillow under my waist to help the wedding."
"Midwife?" Liu Qing was confused. Why did the midwife contact me?
"Well, the famous Aunt Wang Er in Yecheng, I heard that she has delivered dozens of baby boys. If I am pregnant, I will definitely call her to deliver the baby."
A question mark slowly emerged in Liu Qing's mind?
In love, if you give birth to a son, you still have to be the midwife’s credit? What kind of feudal dregs is this?
Where did you put your efforts and sweat?
"Miss, I will talk to you about something."
"Please speak, lord."
"Sir, are you in good health?"
"It's okay, but the bumpy journey from Luoyang this time is just a little tired. After a while, it should be fine."
"I want to ask my father-in-law to help teach students."
"Is it the Zhuge Liang you sent back? Or the older child named Li Dian?"
"Uh... they can count, but there are still many people."
"Many? Will my father be very tired?" Xun Cai said. Unexpectedly, the first thing Xun Cai noticed was his father's health problems.
"It's not just my father-in-law who taught me alone, but also my father-in-law Cai. After that, I will look for Mr. Hu Zhao, Mr. Lu Zhi, etc."
When Xun Cai heard that there was Cai Yong, he immediately turned over and pressed him up.
"Hmph, honestly, did you convince Sister Zhao Ji last night?"
You think everyone is the same as you!
Liu Qing refused, "No, it was talked about today."
Xun Cai returned to his original position, put his waist and thighs high, and suddenly said with a little resentment: "Master, do you dislike me if I speak like this? The Master Wang has added one room after another, and I can't compensate me several times a month."
Why did the atmosphere suddenly get angry in the tea?
"What did my beloved concubine say? It is because you are different from them that I like it."
"We are different, and the king likes it, right?"
Is this wrong? Only a child makes a choice, and I want it all, this is not illegal!
"The beloved concubine is pretty, so she's right!"
"Hehe!" Xun Cai was amused and laughed out loud, so he grabbed Liu Qing's arm and hugged it in his arms. After a short while of silence, Liu Qing actually heard Xun Cai's slight sorrow.
I guess I was tired of trouble and fell asleep.
...
Early the next morning, a fast horse galloped into Yecheng.
Liu Qing was awakened in his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xun Cai with an unhappy look on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"The queen ordered people to call the king and said there was something important to discuss."
So you're just unhappy?
However, Liu Qing did not dare to neglect it, so he immediately changed his clothes and went to the study.
When Liu Qing entered the study, he found that Xun Yu and Guo Jia were there, while Cai Yan was not there.
"What happened?" Liu Qing walked towards the table and asked casually.
Xun Yu bowed, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Yangzhou urgently reported that Chen Wen killed Yangzhou Governor Ba Zhi. Now Yuan Shao has appointed Chen Wen as the new Yangzhou Governor."
Liu Qing was stunned for a moment and looked at Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo said it again!"
Xun Yu took two steps forward and handed the letter to the table, saying: "Chen Wen killed Yangzhou Governor Ba Zhi, and now Yuan Shao has appointed Chen Wen as the new Yangzhou Governor."
Liu Qing picked it up and saw that there were only a few numbers, which were extremely dazzling.
"Yuan Shao's dog thief, how dare you--"
Liu Qing kneaded the letter into a ball and threw it out. At that time, because Yuan Shao summoned the Danyang soldiers from Yangzhou, Liu Qing sent Li Shui to Liyang to find Ba Zhi. Ba Zhi unexpectedly called Liu Qing the little lord and stopped sending soldiers to Yuan Shao.
I thought that Ba Zhi was there, and in a few years, Yuan Shao could be dealt with and taken over Yangzhou successfully. Who would have expected that in just a few months, the bad news of Ba Zhi's murder came.
"Yuan Shao dared to openly murder the governor of a state!" When Liu Qing said this, his heart was filled with trembling.
Suddenly I thought: Haha, Yuan Shao was such a person. Even in history, he turned against Han Fu's foundation in Jizhou. Now he has seized Yangzhou, it seems that it is no big deal.
He even dared to establish an emperor, and what was it that he could kill an official in the court?
Perhaps he was careless and too slighted in the cruelty of the struggle. Liu Qing, a loyal minister in his father's hands, thought that after taking over Yangzhou, he would take him back to Bohai Kingdom for retirement.
Xun Yu obviously knew Ba Zhi’s specialness and comforted him: “Lord’s sorrow.”
"Summon Li Shui here." Liu Qing said.
Xun Yu immediately understood that Liu Qing was going to take action.
Soon, Li Shui appeared in the study and found that the air pressure in the study was extremely low. He rarely saw his lord get so angry.
"Li Shui, you go to Qingzhou and tell Uncle Ju that he will pull out Liu Yao, and it is said that it was the emperor's decree to order him to be the governor of Yangzhou. I want to use the troops, horses, money and food in Qingxu and the two provinces to help him seize Yangzhou!"
"Lord, is this move too hasty? Then is Liu Yao worth it?"
