Han Dao world

Chapter 1044 There is a lot of articles (ask for a monthly ticket!)
The news that the queen wanted to use private funds to print the "Five Classics Chapters" soon spread to the county school.

Song Zhong and others were overjoyed, and their morale was high for a while, as if they had won a big victory.

Song Zhong readily agreed to the Queen's request for a copy of the rubbings of the Nanyang Junxue inscription, and immediately organized manpower to supervise it personally, so that there should be no mistakes.

The only regret is that the queen was too tired to travel and travel, so she couldn't go to Nanyang County School in person for a while to meet the outstanding Confucian talents in the county school.

But Song Zhong believes that this will happen sooner or later, so there is no need to worry.

On the other side, Mrs. Tang and Xun Wenqian teamed up to find a suitable address for Jianyinfang, recruit craftsmen, and purchase various materials.They paid special attention to the role of women, and selected a group of women who were proficient in writing and ink to enter the workshop.

They believe that women are more patient and meticulous than men, and they are very suitable for the work of Yinfang.

As Zhang Qian said, it is difficult to recruit female knights in Nanyang, but it is easy to recruit female bachelors.Although the aristocratic family disliked women showing their heads in public, Mrs. Tang and Xun Wenqian quickly recruited enough people.

Yinfang's proposal went very well.

After Mrs. Tang and others shared a lot of trivial affairs, Liu Xie was able to concentrate on two things.

One is to communicate with the two battlefields to keep abreast of the progress of the war.

Scholars Sun Rui and Zhang Ji had received the imperial edict a long time ago, and arranged a special post station to send military reports to Nanyang regularly for the emperor to keep abreast of the situation.

From the current point of view, the attack on the waterway is smoother.

With the Jiangdong navy commanded by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu participating in the battle, Zhang Ji's advance speed increased.After receiving the money and food delivered by the counties, the Qianfeng navy has entered the Three Gorges and headed towards Yufu.

Frightened by the momentum, the Yizhou navy did not dare to take the initiative to attack, and retreated the main force in the Yufu and Wuxian areas.If nothing else, the first battle will start there.

For now, Liu Xie is not worried about the war.

As far as the morale of the generals is concerned, even if they encounter some troubles, they can overcome them.

On the contrary, he should not rush for success and put too much pressure on them.After all, Yizhou's easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain is here. If you are too anxious, it will burden Zhang Ji and Shi Sunrui and increase unnecessary risks.

He shifted his focus to the in-depth development of Jingzhou.

In terms of arable land area, Jingzhou is larger than Jizhou.In terms of water resources, the Yangtze and Han Rivers are also more conducive to irrigation than the Yellow River.In terms of the degree of development, Jingzhou—especially the Jiangnan part—has great potential to be tapped.

Considering the irreversible trend of the climate getting colder and colder, the significance of developing Jingzhou is even more far-reaching, and it will be the confidence for future generations to fight against natural disasters a hundred years later.

Yang Biao very much agrees with this point of view, and believes that this is the real century-old plan, which should be taken seriously, instead of fighting with those pedantic people.

After hearing these words, Liu Xie looked at Yang Biao meaningfully, and then asked people to remember this sentence well.

As one of the former Nanyang prefects, Yang Gong's clear attitude is commendable.

Good is good, bad is bad, don't be ambiguous, make a wish.

After hearing this, Yang Biao twitched his cheeks, feeling a little regretful.

Originally, I wanted to make a tactful remonstrance, but how could it become a clear statement by accident?

Liu Xie soon received rubbings of the portrait of the prefect of Nanyang listed in the county school.

There are [-] portraits in total. Except for Wang Changyi, who has two people, the others are all single, so there are [-] portraits in total.

In addition to the portrait, each portrait also has a painting praise, that is, a simple record of political achievements and words of praise.

For example, Du Shi, a famous official, focused on two things: one is that he is frugal, and the other is that he made water drainage.The former is virtue and the latter is merit.

Another example is Wang Chang, who emphasized that he is powerful in politics and does not shy away from the powerful.During his tenure as the prefect of Nanyang, all those who violated the law in the powerful party would correct them.

After receiving the rubbings, Liu Xie ordered Shangshu to supplement it.

One is to make up for people.

The prefect of Nanyang is a very important position. Few people can serve two consecutive terms, usually for four years. There are even many people who just go through the process of being the prefect of Nanyang and stay for less than four years.

Because of popular support like Du Shi, there are only a handful of people who have been in office for seven years, only three or five people.

From Guangwu Zhongxing, when Liu Shun was appointed as the prefect, to the current Huang She, there have been more than [-] people who have served as the prefect of Nanyang.

There are only [-] to [-]% of the portraits.

Those who served as Nanyang prefects but did not leave portraits, no matter what the reason is, they must be completed.

Although this matter is a bit cumbersome, it is not difficult to do.

One is that the Nanyang Prefect’s Mansion has archives, and the other is that the imperial court also has related files. Comparing the two, it is easy to complete.

The second is to make up for things.

Although there are written records in the praise of paintings, they are too brief to express the person and politics.Only when these are completed can a comprehensive evaluation be made.

This matter is somewhat troublesome.After all, not all Nanyang prefects have commendable achievements, and not all of them are qualified to leave biographies.

Although the information is incomplete, Liu Xie can still see some clues, or changing trends.

For example, most of the early Nanyang prefects were from ordinary backgrounds, while most of the later Nanyang prefects were from aristocratic and wealthy families.

For example, the morals of most Nanyang prefects are clean, frugal, and strong, and they are extremely cruel to the powerful and powerful, even a little extreme.

The most typical one is Wang Chang.

When Wang Chang was appointed as the prefect of Nanyang, he arrested many dignitaries who broke the law, but they were amnestyed by the imperial court, and these people escaped by chance.Whether it was a fluke or not, it's hard to say, anyway, Wang Changbai is busy.In the end, before these people could celebrate, Wang Chang found a reason to arrest them again, and even more ruthlessly.

Those who have embezzled more than [-] million yuan will lose their property if they do not surrender.

If someone wants to escape and hide, and wait for the next amnesty, his family will be wiped out, and even the stove and well will be leveled for you.

This is no longer fierce for the sake of politics, it is simply the behavior of cruel officials.

At first Liu Xie didn't understand why such a person could still be praised by Confucian scholars, but later he figured it out.

There are too many feudal monarchs in Nanyang, which squeeze the living space of ordinary scholar-bureaucrats, so it is not only the imperial court that deliberately suppresses them, the scholar-bureaucrats also hate them, and naturally support Wang Chang's approach.

To some extent, just like the scholar-bureaucrats against foreign relatives, the methods are not only cruel, but also extreme, and finally turned into a partisan habit.

Of course, from time to time, with the gradual decline of the Nanyang feudal monarch and the gradual rise of the scholar-official class in Nanyang, the ruthless people like Wang Chang gradually decreased, and they became more virtuous.

For example, Wang Chang's successor, Yang Xu, has a much gentler attitude towards wealthy families, focusing more on moral influence and rarely being tough.

When a subordinate gave him a fish, he didn't refuse it, and he didn't eat it, so he hung the fish on the door.In the second year, his subordinates came to deliver the fish again. He pointed to the dried fish and said that last year's fish were still there, so there was no need to send them this year.

Of course, whether anyone was influenced by him is another matter.

But if you think Yang Xu is a gentle gentleman, then you are wrong.

Yang Xu dealt with the common people, but his methods were very firm.In the third year of Zhongping, Zhao Ci from Jiangxia rebelled, entered Nanyang County, killed the prefect Qin Jie, and shook the six counties. Yang Xu, who had just arrived in office, sent troops to put down Zhao Ci together with Jingzhou Governor Wang Min, and the beheading alone was worth [-] ranks. .

The more Liu Xie looked at it, the more he felt that there was something to do, and he shouldn't let it go easily.
