Han Dao world

Chapter 785
"This... can it work?" Xun Chen was skeptical, even somewhat disapproving.

Most of the removal of officials in counties and counties is decided by the prefects and county magistrates. If the imperial court wants to take back this power, even if it is not so direct, it will inevitably encounter strong resistance from officials at all levels.

Just like Mi Heng's proposal to abolish the state pastor, anyone with a discerning eye knows what that means and will try their best to obstruct it.So far, this proposal is still in the discussion stage.

"It can be done." Xun Yu said, "At least the states and counties controlled by the imperial court can definitely do it."

"What about those outside the imperial court's control?"

"Those outside the imperial court's control will be slower, but sooner or later they will be implemented." Xun Yu rubbed his knees and said lightly: "The general trend is not something you can stop if you want to."

"Do you think this is the general trend?" Xun Chen asked.

Xun Yu smiled and said nothing.

Xun Chen waited for a while, but also felt bored.

Xun Yu didn't speak, not because he was short of breath, but because he didn't want to fight with him.

"Will anyone take the exam?" Xun Chen said angrily, "If it were me, I would definitely not want to."

"The imperial court doesn't need so many people. The Han Dynasty has more than one hundred counties and more than one thousand county roads. Even if there are ten people in one county road, it is no more than ten thousand people. In terms of the counties controlled by the imperial court now, even if there are no There are [-] people, only [-] people take the exam, and many problems can be solved."

Xun Yu showed a slight smile. "If you were the prefect, all the officials in the mansion would be people who have received relevant training, instead of just relying on your own experience, you should be able to imagine what it would be like to handle affairs."

The corners of Xun Chen's eyes twitched, and a chill ran down his back.

Of course he can think of it, ready-made examples are not uncommon, and the soldiers under Xun You are a typical example.

When every Qujunhou, Buduwei, and Xiaowei knows what they should do and what they should not do, their combat effectiveness will be significantly improved, and they will be more resistant to hard battles than those untrained opponents, and they will be better able to seize opportunities.

Xun You's outstanding military exploits are inseparable from the well-trained generals at all levels under his command.

Even if they simply know a few words and have received some basic training.

It is said that the generals under Han Sui's command are more than equal, and half of the generals at all levels come from the lecture hall and have received Jia Xu's teachings.

Now there are agricultural schools, engineering schools, and business schools.

The four peoples are all scholars, the court does not just talk about it, but actually does it.

Who will take the exams in agricultural schools, engineering schools, and business schools?The children of everyone who have no worries about food and clothing may be reluctant, but the children of poor families will not refuse.It is a rare opportunity for them to be able to enter the county as an official. Now that the imperial court is backing them, why not do it?
Xun Chen rubbed his hands, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.

"Drawing from the bottom of the pot." Xun Chen sighed, "Is this what I thought about from the beginning? The military education is just a small test?"

"It's not wrong if you say that." Xun Yu said with a smile, "It can be seen from this that the Son of Heaven is definitely not a reckless person. Given time, the way of kingship will surely become a reality. Perhaps, it will be in your and my lifetime."

Xun Chen couldn't help but said, "I'm afraid it's not the kingly way you and I hoped for."

Xun Yu stood up and looked with his hands behind his back. "Brother, I know it's hard for me to convince you. But there is one thing, you should see clearly. Whether you agree with the emperor's rules or not, you are not his opponent."

Xun Chen snorted, a little depressed.

"So, go back to Jizhou quickly. Either persuade Yuan Tan to become a minister, and promote the kingly way together. Or persuade Yuan Tan to go away to avoid the emperor's sharpness."

Xun Chen thought about it. "where to?"

"The north is too cold, and the south is too wet. Go west." Xun Yu said, "Maybe, you still have a chance to help Qian."

Xun Chen nodded, stood up, and flicked his sleeves.

"It's not too late, I'm leaving now."

Xun Yu quickly grabbed him. "There's no need to be in such a hurry, just stay overnight, I still have something to say."

-

Dragon City.

The new wind was blowing, the snow was flying heavily, the sky and the earth were hazy, and no one could be seen fifty paces away.

Jiang Gan wrapped his fur tightly, but his teeth were still chattering from the cold.

"It's really cold." He muttered, pulling his collar.

"Yeah, it's really cold." Zhou Yu echoed: "Now I understand why those knights look down on us. Marching and fighting in such a place, we can't survive the weather without the Xianbei people fighting."

Jiang Gan smiled wryly twice, but did not speak.

When they left the fortress, they walked with the wolf riders all the way, and they separated when they were approaching Dragon City.Lu Bu and Cao Chun led their troops to Yanran Mountain, and it is said that they have other missions.What is the specific task, but refused to say.

They didn't get along well on the road, and they didn't like each other.The wolf rider felt that they were too squeamish and didn't know the dangers of the grassland.They felt that wolf riders were too rude to undertake the task of civilizing the barbarians.

The current situation proves the point of view of the wolf cavalry. They don't know the dangers of this grassland. Without the protection and help provided by the wolf cavalry, they would not even be able to get here, let alone educate them.

"Will Xianbei people still come?" Jiang Gan squinted his eyes, trying to see figures from the chaotic snowflakes.

This feeling made him very uneasy.

"I don't know." Zhou Yu handed over a flat silver jug. "Take a sip to warm up your body. When the Xianbei people come later, we can't let them look down on you."

Jiang Gan took the jug and took a big gulp.

The wine was given by Lu Bu. It has a spicy taste, feels like a knife in the throat, and has a medicinal smell.It is said that medicinal materials are soaked in it, which can enhance Yang Qi and resist the cold.

After a while, Jiang Gan really felt warmer, at least not shaking anymore.

He wanted to take another sip, but Zhou Yu stopped him.

"The medicine is three-point poisonous, so don't overdose." Zhou Yu grabbed the hip flask and stuffed it into his clothes.

"Is there really any medicine?"

"This is a prescription prepared by the Imperial Medical Office. The wine is also specially made. It is said that it needs to be steamed nine times."

Jiang Gan took a breath. "So much trouble? Isn't that very expensive?"

"No matter how expensive it is, it is cheaper than the luggage of thousands of people. With these things, my big Han iron cavalry can be unstoppable, and the Xianbei and Huns dare not invade my frontier fortress with only three thousand elite cavalry."

Jiang Gan laughed twice, and Zhou Yu suddenly raised his hand.

"Someone is here." Zhou Yu said softly.

Jiang Gan closed his mouth and looked into the distance.

In the wind and snow, several figures were getting closer and clearer, and they gradually walked in front of them. In the middle was a bald boy with loose hair, riding a tall horse with open arms, showing his strong body. muscles.

The few knights on the side were all wearing leather jackets, carrying bows and arrows, swords and spears, full of murderous looks.

"I didn't expect the Han people to carry the cold like this." The young man sat on the saddle with his legs crossed, and said with a smile, speaking Chinese very authentically.He sniffed and his eyes lit up. "Drinking? What kind of wine, can you let me have a taste?"

Zhou Yu took out the jug from his bosom, held it in his hand, kicked his horse and took two steps forward, and threw the jug over.

The boy caught it, sniffed again, and squeezed his eyes. "You Han people are really particular. Both men and women are delicious." He opened the pot of wine, and then raised his eyebrows. "So it's medicinal wine. I thought you guys were really not afraid of the cold, so..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yu drew his long sword out of its sheath and pressed it against the boy's throat.

"You..." The boy changed his color and stared at Zhou Yu with a hideous expression.

Zhou Yu retracted his sword, picked up the jug with the tip of the sword, took it back, and said flatly: "My wine is only for friends. You speak badly, and you are not worthy of being my friend, so you are not worthy of drinking this wine."
