Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 224 The Gifted Boy
Wang Xiaolie sat on the top chair, looking at the wild flowers blooming on the ground around him.Two butterflies flutter among the flowers, lingering.A few sheep were grazing under a tree not far away, while a flock of chickens were catching bugs in the grass.

Not far away is a small village with a small river in front of the village. There are several huts built beside the small river, which are the newly built schools in the village.

Suddenly the door of the school opened, and a boy came out from inside.The boy lowered his head and stopped by the window.After standing for a short time, my feet changed back and forth, and my head turned around.I thought I was standing there bored, looking at the surrounding scenery.

Wang Xiaolie has lived here for four or five days, and he can see this young man being kicked out almost every day.Every time he came out, the boy stood obediently under the window and didn't move around.

Presumably this is an incompetent boy who always makes trouble in class.It's just a mischievous child who looks like anything when he comes out, and few are so honest.Now that he has been kicked out, it's not like the sea is wide enough to let fish leap, and the sky is high to let birds fly.

This is near Biyang County, and further west is Caizhou's Que Mountain.Wang Xiaolie came here firstly to occupy Caizhou, and secondly to prepare for the guerrilla zone in the future.Caizhou is the rear of the guerrilla zone, and Wang Xiaolie hasn't made up his mind on the candidate to know the prefecture.This person must be able to govern the place well and provide support to the guerrilla areas ahead. He needs a person with all-round military and political capabilities.

Chen Yuyi came over and saluted Wang Xiaolie.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Have all the official personnel in Caizhou ahead have withdrawn? I heard that many people have also moved away."

Chen Yuyi said: "Cheng Changyu, the prefect, is good at governing the local area, and is good at catching robbers. Compared with the surrounding counties and counties, Caizhou is much stronger. At the beginning of the year, because Caizhou did not have strong reinforcements, he brought soldiers and people south. Now there are still people in Caizhou, but they are rich. All households left with Cheng Changyu."

Wang Xiaolie said: "I saw this Cheng Chang's apartment when I was in Kaifeng. At that time, there was a shortage of food, and the price of food in Caizhou was not high, so I led the army to Caizhou to buy food. After I arrived in Xiangyang, Cheng Zhizhou hated me. I came from a humble background and never had any contact with me. It would be good for everyone to leave now."

Chen Yuyi understood that the relationship between Cheng Changyu and Wang Xiaolie was not good.When he went to Caizhou to buy grain, Wang Xiaolie was still a small leader in the army, but he suddenly became an envoy along the way, which made Cheng Changyu feel awkward.Gwangju, where he led the army south, deliberately avoided Xiangyang.

There are many officials in the surrounding area who dislike Wang Xiaolie.This time Shanzhou won a big victory, everyone's attitude is better.

Wang Xiaolie said: "I have said many times that I want to use Yingchang Mansion, Chenzhou, and Yingzhou as guerrilla areas, rely on the rebels to keep them safe, and separate them from Kaifeng Mansion and Jingdong Road. Caizhou is the base camp, and the people who know the prefectures should choose them individually. Important. Senator, do you have a suitable candidate?"

Chen Yuyi said: "I am a civil servant, and there is no one in the army that I want to be familiar with. I dare not talk too much about this matter."

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "You have been in our army for more than a year, and many people are already familiar, so there is no need to be overly modest. To guard Caizhou, you should have both civil and military skills. I have been thinking about it, but I can't think of a suitable one. People, worry here."

Chen Yuyi thought about it.Said: "Defense said so, so I dare to mention one person. If you want to lead the rebel army, Zhang Jun should be the right one in the army. Although Zhang Jun is young, and he seems to be a bit out of the way. But he is smart and wise when encountering things. There are many, and they are extremely brave. It’s just that Zhang Jun’s governance of the region is a little insufficient, and he caused a lot of troubles when he was in the Xinyang Army, so he should be equipped with another person to govern the people.”

Wang Xiaolie nodded.He sighed again: "You still missed one point. Zhang Jun is unwilling to let others down, and how to arrange someone to cooperate with him is very troublesome. If Zhang Wei is respected, and according to his temperament, Caizhou may be very troublesome." Govern well. How can he be willing to let him live under others?"

Chen Yuyi said: "The lower officials think that ordinary people are afraid of being shocked by Zhang Jun, so they should be extraordinary people."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yuyi shut up and stopped talking.

Wang Xiaolie looked at Chen Yuyi, and after a while, he nodded.

Extraordinary characters, where are there any extraordinary characters in my subordinates?The only ones that can be used are actually Wang Ruohai and Chen Qiudao who just arrived in Xiangyang.They are all important officials of the imperial court, above Zhang Jun, and Zhang Jun can only bear with it.Chen Qiudao had just arrived, and Wang Xiaolie was not familiar with him, so it could only be Wang Ruohai.

After such a long time of contact, there is no problem with Wang Ruohai's ability.When he first arrived in Dengzhou, Wang Ruohai's attitude was very cold because Wang Xiao was born in Liaocaomang, and his official position was obtained through the mutiny of Miao and Liu.When Shanzhou Dasheng came back, Wang Ruohai's attitude was different.It can't just be respectful, but voluntary to be a subordinate, and firmly implement Wang Xiaolie's orders.

After thinking and thinking, Wang Xiaolie said: "I have to think about this matter again. It's a very important matter, so be more cautious."

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaolie stopped talking about this matter.Looking at the surrounding birds and flowers, he said to Chen Yuyi, "Before you know it, it's another spring. After a year of recuperation, the people's spring plowing this year is much better than last year. Look at the village over there, it was newly built last year. I heard that the people They moved south from the area around Kaifeng Prefecture and were resettled here. In one year, they cultivated many fields and built a school, which was really not easy."

Hearing this, Chen Yuyi was quite emotional.Dao: "When governing the place, they all say that they want to recruit people to reclaim the fields and educate the people, but this is the first time I have seen such a low-ranking official as Defense. There are so many people, I don't know how many fields have been reclaimed. Only three dou per mu of land, light The corvee is poor, and the people are happy. Almost all villages have schools to teach people how to read and write. To be honest, no one has done it in the history books.”

Wang Xiaolie said: "Teaching people to read is the simplest thing. Now it is only a village school. Village children are required to learn 1000 characters for three years in school. Five hundred characters a year may not sound like much, but in fact there are many. People can't learn it. And they only know more than [-] characters, and they can't do many things. I think that after a few years, the government's income will be more abundant, and it will be replaced by five years. Let them not only know [-] characters, but also learn Book calculation. If you can read and write, you can at least start a small business after learning it. It’s much better.”

Chen Yuyi said: "Just kidding in defense, how can there be so many businesses in the world? If there are too many people doing business, they won't make money."

"What do you earn so much money for? When there are more people doing business, everything in the world is useful. Only when people communicate with each other can people make more money. Although it is not easy for businessmen nowadays, as long as they are a little bigger, they are often ten times bigger. Profit. We should let businessmen have less high interest rates, but also less risk. The lower the risk, the lower the profit, the more people do business, and the common people benefit.”

This is simple to say, but it involves a lot of problems. Some theories may not be clear after a thousand years. How can Chen Yuyi figure it out all at once?Just nodding.

Everyone wishes for peace in the world, because human life is much easier when there is peace.This is true whether it is for an individual, a country, or a nation.During times of war, some people can make a fortune in the country, but the vast majority of people are in dire straits.

Seeing that Chen Yuyi didn't speak, Wang Xiaolie didn't say any more.Looking around, I saw the boy in front of the window on the opposite river bank.

Pointing at the boy, Wang Xiaolie said: "No matter how good people's lives are, even if they go to school for free, there will always be people who are unwilling to study. Look at the boy standing across the river. I see him standing there almost every day. To him Say, what is the use of building this school?"

Chen Yuyi looked at the opposite side and said: "Defense is not well thought out. I heard the villagers talk about it. It's not that the boy didn't study well, but he learned too well. The books in the school would take three years for others to return." He must be able to learn it all, and he can recite it backwards in only three months. After studying for less than three years, the government will not allow him to go home without authorization, nor can he do other things. How can this child live in the school? If he wants to sleep, the teacher will No. I was often kicked out because I didn’t listen to the teacher.”

Wang Xiaolie was taken aback.It turns out that there are such geniuses in the world.
