Han Dao world

Chapter 1054
Knowing that Mrs. Tang was angry, He Xian also panicked. Not only did he politely reject Song Zhong's request, but he also withdrew his promise of funding.

Today's He family is like a fish in a pot, living entirely on the kindness of the emperor, and cannot take any risks.

Moreover, Mrs. Tang's words also reminded them that Song Zhong and others only had Yuan Shao and Liu Biao in their eyes, not the He family.

He Jin was killed because he was bewitched to a large extent.

After He Jin died, Yuan Shao and others abandoned the He family like a shoe, and no one cared about them anymore.

Hitting a wall again at the He family, Song Zhong was desperate.After thinking about it, I had to be cheeky and beg Yang Biao again.

Yang Biao said, I can help you and delay the time for the emperor to study in Nanyang County, but you also have to help me a little bit.

Song Zhong was relieved, and quickly patted his chest and said that he would definitely do it.

Yang Biao said, in addition to removing my portrait, you must expand the enrollment scope of the county school.The study of the county is the study of a county. It must face the people of the whole county, and the content of the research should be closer to the people's livelihood. It should not only study Confucian scholars, but study Confucian classics.

Confucian classics must be studied, but only Confucian classics are definitely not enough.

The specific method is to imitate the Taixue in Chang'an.You can decide whether to set up other schools according to the actual situation. Agricultural schools, engineering schools, and business schools must be established.

Without agriculture, there is no stability, without work, there is no strength, without business, there is no wealth, this is what the emperor said.

I very much agree with this point of view, Yang Biao finally said.

Song Zhong had nothing to do, so he retreated in a hurry.

Yang Biao immediately reported to Liu Xie, hoping that Liu Xie could wait and give Song Zhong and others a chance to make corrections so that the scene would not be too ugly.

Liu Xie agreed with a smile.

Of course he is willing to give Song Zhong a chance.

What he wants is the submission and cooperation of Confucian scholars, not for the sake of vomiting.

He never planned to break with Confucianism, at least not now.

Liu Xie found Yu Fan and discussed with him the plan to recruit newcomers into the lecture hall.

Especially the navy generals.

Zhang Ji has been in Nanyang for several years, except for stabilizing the place and curbing Liu Biao's ambitions, he has no more achievements.These problems and shortcomings must now be resolved and supplemented one by one.

Under the general trend of the court's center of gravity moving south, Jingzhou, as a well-deserved center of gravity, needs to be given extra attention and spend more thought to make it a ballast stone for the stability of the empire.

The military remains the top priority.

Taking advantage of Du Tian's opportunity, reorganizing the Jingzhou Army and absorbing a batch of fresh blood into the lecture hall is the most urgent thing right now.

The Jingzhou Army under Liu Biao was too useless.

In fact, Jingzhou has a very good military foundation.

First of all, it has a vast territory, a household registration of one million, and a strong human, material, and financial foundation, which can support an army of about [-] people.

Secondly, Jingzhou spans the north and south of the river, including Nanyang and Nanjun, which developed earlier, and the relatively backward Jiangxia and Jiangnan princes.Well-developed ones can provide soil for excellent generals, while relatively backward ones can provide soldiers with strong combat effectiveness because of their fierce folk customs.

As the hometown of the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang has countless famous generals. Only in the Three Kingdoms of the Later Han Dynasty, there were a large group of people such as Wenpin, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Li Yan, Deng Zhi, and Zongyu.It's a pity that most of these people failed to get a chance to play under Liu Biao's command, and finally made Liu Bei cheaper.

Now that Liu Xie is in Nanyang, of course such good human resources cannot be wasted.

He wants to absorb all these people and become a solid foundation for the empire.

Yu Fan agreed with Liu Xie's opinion.

Although, as a member of Kuaiji, he also wanted to create more opportunities for Wuhui, he also had to admit that Jingzhou has advantages that other states do not have in terms of geographical location.

Yu Fan quickly drew up a plan to recruit [-] freshmen from the martial arts hall in the entire Jingzhou area, divided into four disciplines: infantry combat, cavalry combat, building boat, and ordnance, with [-] students each.

As soon as the news came out, Nanyang became lively first.

The most active ones are the descendants of Yuntai generals.Their ancestors were enshrined as marquises due to their military exploits. Now that time has passed and the legacy of their ancestors has been exhausted, they have also been deprived of their titles and reduced to civilians. Naturally, they are not reconciled.

They just followed the emperor's conquest, and they didn't have the confidence. They were afraid that the emperor would kill people with a knife and use it as consumables.

So in the end, there were only a dozen or so families who were brave enough to take part in the campaign, and most of them gave up struggling and prepared to lie down.

Now the emperor wants to recruit people into the martial arts hall to learn how to use soldiers, how can they not be tempted.

As soon as the news was announced, the door of the martial arts hall welcomed countless visitors.

It's just that the number of places is limited, and it is not an easy task to be admitted to the lecture hall.Yu Fan didn't give any face and gave them a chance to sign up, but whether they could get in or not depended on their own abilities.

At that time, the emperor will come to the school grounds in person, and no one dares to release water.

What you can do is to use the time before the exam to step up your training and try to perform better.

Jingzhou straddles the great river, and it will take at least a month for the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River to receive the news and rush to Nanyang. Therefore, the exam is arranged after the New Year. Students who intend to apply for the exam will come to Nanyang together with the officials.

However, Nanyang people have local advantages, avoiding long-distance travel and fatigue.

After receiving Yu Fan's reply, the wealthy Nanyang families who intended to apply for the lecture hall did not dare to take chances any more, and paid a lot of money to hire civil and martial arts teachers to make up lessons for their children.The current students in the lecture hall have also become popular, and many people have received invitations.

Liu Xie knew this well, but did not stop it.

Some unfairness cannot be broken in a short period of time.

-

As the New Year approached, Liu Xie received an obituary.

Therefore, Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, died of illness at the age of sixty.

Before his death, Liu Biao had suffered a stroke for nearly a year, and his physical condition was getting worse every day.After returning to his hometown, despite careful recuperation, he still failed to recover.In the last days, he couldn't even speak, so he could only express through his wife, Mrs. Chen.

The final letter on his deathbed was also ghostwritten by his wife, Mrs. Chen.

In the book, Liu Biao reviewed his life, both achievements and deficiencies.The only thing he feels relieved is that he finally made the right choice and saved Jingzhou from an unnecessary battle.

After reading Liu Biao's letter, Liu Xie couldn't laugh or cry.

This is not a deathbed letter, this is clearly an autobiography.It is written so comprehensively that it can be regarded as a biography only by changing a few words.

Sure enough, for these celebrities, the most important thing is always only the reputation.

Especially the reputation behind it.

To be honest, Liu Xie was a bit unwilling.

It would be too cheap to let Liu Biao go just like that.

But Queen Fushou persuaded him.

Liu Biao is not only the pastor of Jingzhou, but also the clan.

Your Majesty has exterminated the country one after another in Jizhou, which has already silenced the clan.If Liu Biao, who has already proclaimed himself a minister, is pursued fiercely, more people will worry and cause unnecessary suspicion.

Although the world is settled, people's hearts are not at ease, it is better to let Liu Biao go.

To take a step back, Liu Biao is a member of the party and was deeply involved in the party affairs back then. Even if His Majesty let him go, he would not be able to escape unscathed.

Even if you want to study it deeply, studying Liu Biao, a party member, is different from studying Liu Biao, a clan member, and the people affected will be very different.

Liu Xie listened and agreed.

He said to Fushou, your suggestion is good and has a pattern.

Fu Shou said, this is not my idea alone, it is the result of discussions between me and the Qiao sisters.
