Han Dao world

Chapter 389
After Liu Xie thought about it carefully, he felt that what Cai Yan said was reasonable.

Practical learning requires a lot of practice and experimentation, and it costs a lot of money, but he has no money now.

It is unrealistic to want to become a fat man with one bite. The most sensible choice is to choose the most urgent and most valuable technology to research first, so that everyone can see tangible benefits.

For example, the study of metal smelting is stimulated by the success of armored cavalry, and the work enthusiasm of iron officials is particularly high.

For example, medicine, curing diseases and saving lives, saving lives and healing wounded, is a practical technology that can be used every day.

Another example is building bridges and paving roads. With the temptation of Qianhuhou, many people have a strong interest in mechanical techniques, and some people have even begun to try to build roads and bridges in places with relatively low requirements.

Of course, practice alone is not enough, it also requires theoretical guidance and the ability to extract theory from practice.

These are not something ordinary people can do, and require a certain amount of knowledge reserves, and even talent.

The ability to read and write is the most basic, otherwise, even if theories and principles are extracted, it will be difficult to spread them.

With nothing to do, Liu Xie discussed with Cai Yan, Pei Jun and others, asking all departments to write their research results into articles, communicate, discuss, and even argue with each other.

One advantage of practical learning is that you are not afraid of arguments.

It's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk.

Can you do it? Let the results speak, not who has the highest status and the loudest voice.

In a few days, they drew up a preliminary charter.

After verification by Ji Zhen, Hua Tuo, and dozens of imperial physicians, Liu Xie's conjecture was confirmed, and those businessmen from the Western Regions were indeed infected with the plague.

But Jizhen's judgment is also valid. The epidemic did not spread. Only one of Anthony's followers got sick, and he recovered soon.

After careful questioning, I found out that Anthony and the others had been ill before, but they didn't know it was a plague, and thought it was a cold, so they just took some medicine and it would be fine.

It has to be said that those who can survive in this era are the strong, especially profiteers like Anthony who run around the world.

Anyone with poor physical fitness will die in a foreign land.

Even so, Liu Xie still dare not take it lightly.

He asked Ji Zhen and Hua Tuo to summarize their previous anti-epidemic experience, collect relevant information from the Xianbei and Huns, and make a plan.After all, the climate, water and soil in northern Xinjiang and the Central Plains are different, and the situation of the epidemic may also change.

Immediately afterwards, he summoned Pei Qian, who was preparing to build the Xihe Iron Officer, and discussed with him the summary and improvement of the previous iron and steel smelting experience, and conducted experiments within a certain range, trying new steelmaking methods, improving quality, Increase productivity.

Because of his previous achievements, Pei Qian had just been conferred the title of Marquis of Ting, and he was very enthusiastic about his work, so he readily agreed.

He also said that the existing craftsmen are experienced, but most of them are illiterate and old, so it is not easy to teach them.And a little conservative, habitually relying on skills to cherish oneself, unwilling to communicate with others.A group of half-grown children should be selected to enter the workshop, and learn skills while reading and practicing calligraphy. After three to five years, they will become the new force of the workshop.

At that time, whether it is researching new technologies or expanding production capacity, it will be much easier.

Liu Xie felt that it was reasonable, and approved Pei Qian's suggestion, and then transferred Pei Qian to be the Prime Minister of Jinwu and concurrently the order of the Xihe Arsenal.

Zhijinwu is still in vain, and Pei Qian, the Zhijinwu prime minister, is actually the Zhijinwu who is in the reserve, and he is only one step away from the position of Jiuqing.

Pei Qian was very satisfied, even a little grateful.

His father, Pei Mao, was middle-aged before he joined the Shang Shuling, and now he seized the opportunity to become the prefect of Xihe with two thousand shi.He was young and weak, but because of his meritorious service in presiding over the iron official, he was promoted to a noble rank, and he was on par with Pei Mao.

He even sealed the Marquis before Pei Mao.

Liu Xie is also very satisfied.

Pei Qian's strength is not in technology, but in management. His technical potential has almost been tapped, but his management potential has not been truly released.

He just wanted to show others through Pei Qian that technology is not a cheap job, and management by technology is also a feasible path to official career, and it is even a more convenient path than passing through economics and becoming an official.

Compared with the ideal of philosophers governing the country, engineers governing the country are more reliable.

-

After a false alarm, Liu Xie received some good news.

One is that Chen Gong and Chen Rong successfully rescued Zang Hong.Accompanied by Chen Rong, Zang Hong was on his way to Meiji.

One is that Cao Cao sent his eldest son, Cao Ang, to the court and officially proclaimed himself a minister to the court.

One is that Sun Ce accepted the imperial court's worship and became the prefect of Kuaiji.He expressed his gratitude, sent people to contribute, and sent the square things.

Of course, all good news is imperfect.

Zang Hong was rescued, but Dong Wuyang fell into Yuan Shao's hands.Yuan Shao didn't intend to stop the army either, he would cross the river with a high probability and take the four counties of Yanyu, Qing and Xu directly.

Cao Cao professed his minister and sent him a pledge, but he also made a request, hoping that the court would provide him with arms and war horses to help him recover the entire Yanzhou.

Recovering Yanzhou is obviously a big talk and bragging. Facing Yuan Shao, Cao Cao can defend the two counties of Yingchuan and Chenliu.

Sun Ce accepted the imperial court's offer of worship, but Zhou Yu declined the imperial court's call-up, and just wrote a letter of thanks.

Liu Xie spread out the map and deduced the situation in the Kanto with Jia Xu, Xun You and others.

In addition to the few princes already known, there are still a few whose attitudes are unknown.

Xuzhou shepherd Liu Bei, Yangzhou shepherd Yuan Shu, Jingzhou shepherd Liu Biao, Yizhou shepherd Liu Zhang.

Among the four state shepherds who refused to submit to the court, three were surnamed Liu, and two of them were genuine clans, which really left Liu Xie speechless.

These unfilial children and grandchildren.

Speechless though speechless, but not angry, as calm as ever.

Jia Xu and Xun You saw it and smiled knowingly.

The emperor's palace is getting deeper and deeper, and he usually looks frivolous, but when it comes to business, he is moody and angry.

"You two, what suggestions do you have?" Liu Xie gently pushed the map forward, leaned on the table, straightened his sore legs, thumped it, and sat cross-legged.

People in the Central Plains are used to sitting on their knees, and people on the grasslands are used to sitting cross-legged. Anyway, they can't sit high, which is a heavy burden on their legs.

The lesser of two evils, cross-legged sitting is slightly better, especially Liu Xie is practicing sitting and forgetting recently.

Jia Xu remained silent, seemingly in a daze.

Xun You bowed slightly. "I think that Your Majesty might as well just sit back and watch the changes, and stabilize Bingliang first. If you have spare capacity, send envoys to Youzhou, especially Liaodong."

"How to run Bingliang?"

"Garrify the fields and plant the valleys, rest with the people. Reopen the trade routes, enrich the country and strengthen the army."

Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu nodded in agreement. "If the roots are solid, the branches will flourish, and if the roots are deep, the leaves will flourish. The ministers seconded."

Liu Xie was a little unhappy. "Can you elaborate?"

Jia Xu was silent again, Xun You smiled and took over the topic. "Your Majesty is worried about insufficient household registration?"

Liu Xie was noncommittal.He was indeed worried about insufficient hukou, but when he mentioned insufficient hukou, Jia Xu would propose to move to Liangzhou and enter Guanzhong with Liangzhou hukou to enrich Guanzhong.It's not that he doesn't want Jia Xu to get what he wants, but Liangzhou's household registration is small, and a large number of people move into Guanzhong, which will inevitably make Liangzhou unsustainable.

"Your Majesty, the people are looking for advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and go to safety in danger. When they left Guanzhong and Hedong, it was because of the war. Now that Guanzhong and Hedong are stable, and the war in Guandong is about to start, isn't it clear where they will go?"

Liu Xie pondered for a moment. "You mean, Yuan Shao can't decide what to say?"

"Is his false edict more honorable than His Majesty's edict?" Xun You laughed silently. "Besides, I heard that he no longer dares to brag about himself in the imperial edict. How can he be weak without a battle for a long time?"
