Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1051 Superficial articles on politics

  Linghu Shao stood in front of the main hall of the Shoushan Academy, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, with a serious face, looking around slowly, the surrounding crowd immediately fell silent.

  Since Linghu Shao served as the academy's alcove, he has always done everything himself, and he is very upright, so everyone in the academy admires him a lot. Seeing him standing forward with a serious face, the hearts of these students couldn't help but lift up.

  Linghu Shao nodded slightly to Fei Qian who was beside him, and after getting Fei Qian's approval, he unfolded the bamboo slips in his hand and read aloud:

   "When I was a year old, I traveled to Ruibin for a month, and the general who conquered the west, Pingyang Houfei, said..."

  "...Throughout the ages, there have been countless outstanding people. They lived in hiding, and they were busy in office. The scholars hidden in the mountains, the great Confucianists in the court, self-cultivation and morality, and their grace..."

"...Shoushan Xuegong is a grand meeting for thousands of years. Mingren's virtue is in the universe, and Zhang Qiushuang's majesty is honored by the spring. The foundation of the school, Zhen Yi's responsibility, diligence and virtue, can serve the court at the top, and can be peaceful and self-cultivating at the bottom. ..."

  “…holding a scroll can make a statement, lifting a bridle can make meritorious service, and being in the court can establish virtue. This is the way of a sage, and it is also the most reasonable in the world...”

  Linghu Shao Langlang spoke, and everyone listened quietly.

"...Therefore Xunzi has a saying, so if you don't climb a high mountain, you don't know the height of the sky; if you don't face a deep stream, you don't know the depth of the earth. Know what you do, and when you know and do it, you can be true. The sons of Qian, Yue, Yi, and raccoon dogs , born with the same sound, long but different from the common, teaching is also very important. Losing one in a hundred shots is not enough to be good at shooting; not being able to walk a thousand miles is not enough to be good at arching; being ambiguous in ethics and kindness, benevolence and righteousness are different, not enough to be good at learning..."

  "...Today inherits the way of the ancient gentleman, special education and education from the post of Cao, with a rank of six hundred stones..."

   "...teach chemistry rafters, rank four hundred stone..."

   "...Educate Shuzuo, rank two hundred stones..."

   "...Jiaohualang, Zhibaishi..."

  These official positions had just been read out by Linghu Shao, and suddenly there were bursts of whispering among the crowd. It is not easy to be an official in the Han Dynasty. In addition to having a certain network of contacts to be recommended, there must also be a vacancy.

Now all of a sudden there are so many more official positions, although they are only subordinate officials recruited by Fei Qian, but after all, where is the official rank, regardless of the salary of one hundred shi or two hundred shi, it is very attractive to a person from an average family. Even the sons of the gentry whose family background is not bad, their eyes suddenly widened. These people may not look at the hundred or two hundred stones, but six hundred stones are very attractive. If you get this position first, and then work hard, you may be able to produce an official with a thousand stones in the family, and the reputation of the whole family will naturally rise to a higher level.

   "Silence!"

   "He Cheng is decent!"

  Seeing that the scene was a bit chaotic and out of control, the doctors in the surrounding academy couldn't help but frowned and scolded them one after another.

  Linghu Shao paused slightly, then continued to speak loudly:

   "...to educate is to educate the people of the world. The meritorious deeds obtained are all derived from education, not determined by the above. Therefore, a special education alliance is set up to evaluate achievements and determine ranks. This is one of them..."

"... On the fifteenth day of the first month of the year, under the Shoushan Academy in Pingyang, another academic examination was set up, divided into three grades: 'beginning, familiarity, and understanding'. Personnel from all over the country can recommend students to take the exam, and the meritorious service will be determined by the number of passers. For the second…”

  "...Educated people, try it once every three years. Those who are capable will go up, those who are mediocre will go down, and those who do nothing will go. Specially set up an education list in Pingyang City to show the world clearly. These are the three..."

  "...In addition, in order to show the hardships of education, we set up patrolling envoys to tour and educate various places, express their words, collect their deeds, and compile them into a book, which will be proclaimed by special personnel at the assembly on the first day of every second month..."

   "Wow..."

  When Linghu Shao read this, the surrounding people could no longer hold back, and there was an uproar immediately.

  In this world, except for a small number of people, do people seek nothing more than fame and fortune? But now, with everything at once, why not let these people be shaken?

The Dr. Xuegong on the sidelines took control again, but the effect was not very satisfactory. It happened that Linghu Shao was about to finish reading the regulations of Jiaohua, so he combined the bamboo slips and took a step back, leaving a short period of time for these People digest it.

  Actually, apart from these, Fei Qian also has some related follow-up promotion measures, which are enough to make this matter known to the whole people, an event that everyone will talk about, and become a regular program for ordinary people every year.

   But in the early days, this is enough.

  And the most important thing is that Fei Qian has mixed a lot of private goods in it, so that the eyes of these gentry children are all focused on this so-called "education", but they ignore other aspects.

  In the initial stage of enlightenment, these gentry children are naturally inseparable, but as time goes by, more and more people will join in, and among the added personnel, there are Hu people, and naturally there are also Han people...

   Cai Yong watched the scene gradually quiet down, so he slowly paced to the front.

As the first master of Confucian classics who discussed with Fei Qian on the issue of enlightenment, Cai Yong upholds this supportive attitude towards the dissemination of Confucian classics culture. In Luoyang in the early years, he served as a doctor of Luoyang Taixue for a period of time , And try to provide some guidance to the students who come to ask for advice, and even donate some scriptures for free. Now that Fei Qian is ready to formally promote this enlightenment, as the cultural leader of the Northland, Cai Yong will naturally speak a few words.

   Fei Qian looked at Cai Yong citing scriptures in front of him, and said a long series of words to help prove the importance of enlightenment, but actually his mind was a little off.

  From the very beginning to Pingyang, Fei Qian lacked talent, but this talent was controlled by the gentry, and trying to **** talent from the gentry was tantamount to having a head-on conflict with the gentry, but now...

As long as you get through this early stage and set up one or two typical figures in the matter of enlightenment, then naturally more people will follow up, and these educated Hu people can even serve as some grassroots officials, which is very important to the local people. It is very helpful to control and continue in-depth Sinicization.

  Furthermore, there are some loopholes in the charter of Fei's potential education, or areas that can be discussed. These loopholes can be supplemented in the future, or can be further advanced according to changes in the actual situation.

  Indoctrination, the storm that set off seems to have blown towards the barbarians, but in fact it was also rolled up on the ground of Pingyang. Once it spreads, the subsequent changes will inevitably affect the future.

  For these gentry children who are willing to struggle in the political arena, these newly released enlightenment rules are the most detailed considerations. These self-proclaimed big men have the most knowledge and belong to the group with the highest IQ. Of course, they will not easily let go of such an opportunity to be promoted. go…

  ……………

  In Chang'an City, a team escorted a carriage and rumbled along.

   This is the straight road in front of Changle Palace. It was supposed to be crowded with people, and it was the most lively and romantic scene in the entire Chang'an city. In its heyday, traffickers, pawns, well-dressed scholars, and officials, big and small, would shuttle back and forth on this road. If it happened to happen at three o'clock and five seasons or something, the road would be even more crowded, and the road would almost be full.

  Dahan Chang'an City, although it may not be the most top-level metropolis in this era, but no matter the city roads or architectural structures, they are all super first-class. However, in Chang'an City, even though it was just after noon, when it was supposed to be the busiest time, there were still not many people to be seen, and it looked extremely desolate.

This carriage looks unpretentious at first glance, but in fact, from the decorative carvings on the carriage, it already reveals a sense of prosperity and prosperity, not to mention the two pure horses pulling this carriage. The white horse is even more revealing of its identity.

Although it is said that there is not a great shortage of war horses in Guanzhong at the moment, it is not an easy task to find two handsome pure white horses like this, but these two should be extremely strong, but now they are not. A little thin, there is not much fat on the belly, and some ribs are faintly exposed.

  Beside the carriage, there were more than 20 personal guards, half on horseback and half following in stride, guarding the carriage.

  The one sitting in the carriage is Yang Biao.

   And Zhao Wen.

  Since Yang Biao stated on the form that he was unwell, he naturally wanted to act in a full set, and he took a horse-drawn carriage for daily travel. Although everyone knows what the disease is like, no one is willing to pierce this layer of window paper.

  Zhao Wen sat on the carriage with Yang Biao, was silent for a while, and said: "Minggong, Zhong Shangshu is targeting us so much, with sinister intentions, and wants to go to the place where he dies and hurry up, Minggong..."

During this period of time, Yang Biao has always been like a good old man, neither hitting back nor cursing back, even if Zhong Shao calculated it, he did not fight back. It's just talk, and there is no actual action at all.

Zhao Wen was also a little helpless. Who would have thought that Yang Biao would be like swallowing water when he entered Chang'an. This state made many people a little confused. Even Zhao Wen couldn't figure out what Yang Biao was selling in this gourd. Therefore, under the pretext of visiting a doctor, he boarded Yang Biao's carriage on the way, wanting to ask a question or two.

  Yang Biao seemed to be asleep, his eyelids drooped, as if he didn't hear.

  Zhao Wen opened his mouth, intending to ask again, but looking at the current situation, Yang Biao might not be able to answer even if he asked. Although he was extremely anxious in his heart, he was helpless.

  Seeing that Zhong Shao is pressing harder and harder, even Zhu Jun's soldiers in Lingyi are already in arrears of money and rations. If it weren't for Zhu Jun's prestige in Lingyi, there would have been chaos long ago.

   In fact, Yang Biao is not as leisurely as he appears on the surface, in fact, he is suffering extremely. A plague in Tongguan directly cut off the supplies from Hongnong, and if the soldiers in the army did not have money, food and salaries, how would they be able to control them?

  Money is one aspect, what will happen in the future is another aspect...

Who would have thought that the sudden plague would cause the entire population of Guanzhong to die and flee. It's a very scary situation. Some of the gold and silk that Yang Biao brought from Hongnong has already been spent, and the problem now is that money may not be able to buy it!

   It took Yang Biao a lot of thought to maintain the current airs!

The so-called eating a pit, gaining wisdom, Yang Biao thought it was a sure thing in Pingyang before, but something happened when he was dying. Now he has to deal with Chong Shao, so it is naturally impossible to repeat the old pattern. It will inevitably affect the whole body, so even Zhao Wen kept it a secret, so as not to have any accidents.

  But now, the pawns laid down have also begun to move. This time, entering the palace to meet the emperor is the first step...

  Yang Biao put on the table, stating the current situation of boiling grain prices in Guanzhong, and implored the emperor to order the adjustment of grain into the customs to stabilize people's livelihood. It is estimated that this charter will be intentionally or unintentionally spread inside and outside Chang'an City this afternoon, or at the latest tomorrow morning, so that everyone will know about it. Therefore, it's okay to let Zhao Wen know about this matter earlier.

  Yang Biao tidied up the folds on his clothes, and said slowly: "...A certain has been listed, please Your Majesty adjust the grain to enter the customs..."

   "... to adjust the grain to enter the customs?" Zhao Wen's eyes widened.

  At this point in time, where is there still food to adjust?

  There is no grain in Guanzhong, and Hongnong will not be able to get through for a while, so the rest will either be in the east of the river, or go over the mountains and mountains to Hanzhong, or merge from the north to Pingyang...

  Zhao Wen rolled his eyeballs, and suddenly he was a little stunned. He cupped his hands and said, "Duke Ming's strategy is really ingenious!"

   "Oh?" Yang Biao raised his eyelids slightly, "Where is the subtlety?"

"... Minggong's policy is concerned about the country and the people. Even Zhong Shangshu is eloquent, but he can't find anything wrong..." Zhao Wen's eyes sparkled in the carriage, "...if Zhong Shangshu vetoes this policy... Hehe, it is bound to lose the hearts of the people, so what face is there to miss Sanhuai? If Zhong Shangshu followed this policy, Duke Ming would gain both fame and reputation, and Zhong Shangshu would be a villain..."

  Zhao Wen shut his mouth when he said this, and didn't continue talking. Zhao Wen knows that people at the top like smart people, but they don't like people who are too smart. A smart person saves trouble, and can handle things properly by simply explaining to him, but if he is too smart, he can completely understand the mind of the superior, and will become a thorn in the heart of the superior.

  Yang Biao's strategy is a conspiracy, and it can be regarded as the horn of counterattacking Zhong Shao, and this first horn hits Zhong Shao's sore spot.

   Just like what I said just now, it’s not right to do it, and it’s even worse not to do it. If you do it, you may still have some time to seek other opportunities. If you don't do it, you will become everyone's enemy almost immediately in such a difficult situation in the market! Soldiers need money, food, and military pay to support them. Can the common people and officials in the city not eat or drink?

  When it was learned that Yang Biao had come up with the idea, and then was rejected by Zhong Shao, under the threat of hunger, all kinds of resentment generated would wipe out all the benefits of Zhong Shao in an instant!

   Cutting off people’s money is like killing their parents. Now if they cut off the food and grass hopes of the people and officials in the city, how many parents can Zhong Shao kill?

According to the implementation of the strategy, hard work is affirmative, but Yang Biao's reputation belongs to him. What's more, the nearest thing is that there should be some grain and grass in Hedong and Pingyang. , is undoubtedly bowing to Yang Biao...

   Adjusting grain to Pingyang, but it was like another severe slash on the unstable alliance between Zhong Shao and Fei Qian. Zhong Shao deliberately pushed Fei Qian forward, but now he wants to reach out to ask for him behind, not to mention whether he can pass the psychological barrier of Zhong Shao. Food must be tight, whether it can be collected for Chong Shao is still a matter of opinion!

In this way, with a simple suggestion and an ordinary watch, Yang Biao gained fame and the hearts of the people, not only pushing Zhong Shao to the edge of the cliff, but also pushing the relationship between Zhong Shao and Fei Qian. The connection is broken!

Thinking about this, Zhao Wen couldn't help but feel chills. He deeply felt that Yang Biao's methods were exquisite and superb. However, deep in his heart, there seemed to be a faint voice sounding softly. This Yang Gong wants to deal with Zhong Shao. The first step turned out to be to separate and sever the connection between Zhong Shao and Fei Qian...

  This, it seems...

   Could it be that in Yang Biao's mind, Zhong Shao is not the biggest threat, but Fei Qian?
