Chapter 658
The second year of Yankang, January

The second year of Yankang came as scheduled, but the court was still busy with the four major matters, and it was hard to tell who was born. Even the court meeting had not been held for a long time. This was not only because Situ was not around, but also because the officials He is already busy enough, but the tasks in his hands have not been finished, and there is no need to hold a court meeting to discuss what to do next. The most helpless person is probably the emperor Liu Xi.

When he was enthroned, he thought about setting goals for each year, doing his best, and fulfilling the grand ambitions in his heart step by step, but he never thought that things often come faster than his own plans, and Problems always appeared in unexpected places. In the first year of Yankang, he originally wanted to do all he could for government studies, printing [-] books, and establishing government schools in every county in Dahan.

Now, a full year has passed, and the biggest achievement in the first year of Yankang was the completion of the construction of Ningzhou Chidao, which made Liu Xi helpless. This is obviously not what I care about. In terms of system, they had previously followed Liu Bei to implement official studies in various places, but they have some experience. They have traveled all over the counties and counties of the Han Dynasty. Except for extremely remote areas such as Xizhou, Hezhou, and Jiaozhou, they have traveled all over the Central Plains.

In the same way, the achievements of government schools are huge. In the six states of the Central Plains, every county has a mansion of government schools. The enlightenment textbooks are also printed, and a large number of young children go to school. It's a blessing. From ancient times to the present, which common people's children can go to school?Literate?A large number of young children went to school, and they all learned the enlightenment textbooks written by He Zi.

The number of young children studying in government schools has increased from 23 in the 17rd year of Xiping to 98 today. This is a change in one year. The number of young children is nearly one million. What does this represent?Ten years later, the Dahan will have millions of literate groups. These people will make the country of the Dahan rise again. Maybe one day, the people of the Dahan will all be able to read. By this time, I really don’t know that the national strength of the Dahan will reach What kind of horror.

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were evenly divided in the affairs of the official school, and their secret struggle gradually turned to the bright side. In terms of the official government, Sima Yi has slightly more, and in terms of the number of school children, Zhuge Liang has a small advantage, evenly matched, and they all have a group of supporters.

After a year, a large number of books have been printed, and the literacy rate of the big man has increased rapidly. It is not unreasonable for Liu Xi to put his primary goal on official education. Unlike other projects, his utility is often in the future. It is only known that these young children who entered the school in the first year of the year will release a huge energy and shock the world after about 20 years in Yankang. This is what Liu Xi thinks.

In January, both returned to the temple.

They set off towards the Hall of Houde at the same time, but met again at the gate of the palace.

The two saw each other from a distance, and when they got out of the car, Sima Yi seemed to see his good friend for many years. He walked over with a smile, and hugged Zhuge Liang in front of him with a big smile. With a smile, he hugged him calmly, and the two separated. Sima Yi looked at Zhuge Liang and said with a smile, "Kong Ming, long time no see, is your body still strong?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Naturally tough, I didn't abuse weapons like Zhongda did, and let this official and academic event be stained with blood. I behave cleanly all day long, and my body will be fine, but Zhongda, you should pay more attention to it." Ah, I heard that in Jizhou, you went on a killing spree, and even killed a few doctors of academic studies, if you get angry like this, you may die soon!"

"Hahaha, there is no way. I don't have the intelligence of Kong Ming. I can't use words to make them move, so I can only use weapons. They deserve what they deserve. I can't deal with them if they made mistakes. Is it?"

"Of course you can. However, just because the establishment of the official residence was a few days late, or because the teaching materials were not printed within the stipulated time, it is necessary to kill people. I am afraid that it is not appropriate?"

"For them, I am ordered by the emperor, most people can complete it, but they can't complete it, then they are disobeying the order, killing them will shock more people, and let them devote themselves to the affairs of government and education. Nei, Kong Ming, could it be that I did something wrong?"

Zhuge Liang laughed lightly, and said: "How dare I say that you are wrong? In the local area, you can almost kill anyone who dares to oppose you. If Zhongda is unhappy, come and take my Fate, what should I do?"

Just meeting, the smell of gunpowder between the two has reached its peak. Both of them have completed what they should do. In terms of efficiency, Sima Yi surpassed Zhuge Liang. Although Zhuge Liang surpassed Sima Yi in the number of children enrolled, But he still has the advantage of the number of people in the place. The reason why Sima Yi is able to do this is because his style of acting is cruel and fast, never procrastinating. That's why.

But Zhuge Liang is different from him. Whether it is a commoner or an official, Zhuge Liang treats him very gently. It is thorough, but the efficiency is still inferior to Sima Yi's set of methods. Of course, Zhuge Liang has no opinion on this. He does things for the sake of the big man, not to compare himself with others.

The two were confronting each other in front of the gate, and the yellow gate came out to welcome them into the palace.

As soon as he entered Houde Hall, Liu Xi walked out with a smile. Looking at the two confidant ministers in front of him, he held one hand and pulled them, and sat in front of him. Liu Xi also sat down, and said with a smile : "Kong Ming, Zhong Da, long time no see. I really miss you. These days, without you, I feel empty in my heart, and I don't know how to do things."

"Don't dare." The two quickly possessed themselves.

Liu Xi said again: "The official school has been very successful. Now that there is this official school platform, with Guan Ning and Hua Xin in charge, you can relax for a while. They did a good job. A few days ago , and also played to me, explaining the many shortcomings of the local government schools, I handed them over to them, let them decide for themselves, they did a good job, and the matter of printing, the king who is in charge of the governor, has already A huge printing office was established outside the city"

Liu Xi narrated some things, both of them nodded from time to time, and naturally both of them reported their achievements to the emperor. Although Liu Xi knew about it a long time ago, he smiled and praised him. After talking for a while, Zhuge Liang suddenly Asked: "Your Majesty, I heard that Situ Gonggong is busy with the canal?" Liu Xi nodded and said: "It is true. I thought it would cost a lot of money and manpower is not enough, so I didn't want him to do it."

"But Mr. Situ said that the newly dug canal can be put into use immediately, and can bear part of the cost of money. In addition, he plans to find some manpower from overseas to carry out this work." Liu Xi said, but Zhuge Liang frowned. Frowning, he said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Situ's thinking is not bad, but this way will consume too much power of the country."

"Kong Ming's words are different. Even if it consumes national power, it will surely benefit the world in the future. It must be done," Sima Yi said.

Zhuge Liang glanced at him, and then continued: "Your Majesty, I think that the matter of money can still be resolved. The main problem is manpower. It is better to find someone from overseas. Why not look for it from another place." Zhuge Liang paused Suddenly, he just said: "Wa Kingdom is one of the vassals of the Han Dynasty. There are always huge slaves in Wa Kingdom. The nobles there are not willing to release these slaves. Even if they are released, there is no way for them to cultivate land. There is not much land."

"I think that General Tai Shici can transport slaves from Wa Island, and dig a canal in Yangzhou."

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Sima Yi suddenly fell into deep thought. He wanted to find a reason to refute, but after thinking for a while, he gave up this plan again. He frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I also have a plan, which is about money." For the matter, I think that the local powerful families can bear a small part of the excavation costs, even if Situ Gong borrowed from them, when the canal is opened, the taxes generated can be returned to these people.”

Liu Xi didn't say much about Zhuge Liang's plan, and Sima Yi played it so eagerly, which made Liu Xi a little confused. He frowned and asked, "The temple borrowed money from the powerful?? How is this possible??"

Zhuge Liang was taken aback, thought for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's feasible."

Zhuge Liang would support him, but Sima Yi didn't think about it. He glanced at Zhuge Liang beside him and grinned, but Zhuge Liang didn't look at him. Liu Xi gritted his teeth, thought for a moment, and then said: "Okay, just do what you said I will do it! I will give Situ an order, and General Taishi, Xun Jun!"

When they came out of Houde Hall, the two walked side by side. When they walked out of the palace gate, Sima Yi suddenly asked, "Kong Ming, just now, why did you support me?"

"What I look at is whether it is beneficial to the country and whether it can help the people. As for who the proposer is, I never take it to heart."

"Hahaha, Kong Ming is really a rare talent in the world!" Sima Yi smiled and praised, Zhuge Liang listened, but there was always a sense of irony, and he didn't care. He looked at Sima Yi and said seriously: " Zhongda, you and I have been friends for many years. There are some things I don’t want to say too much, but I still have to mention that Zhongda cares too much about the results and results, and how cruel it is. , sooner or later, you will suffer.”

"Kong Ming!" Sima Yi smiled. He glanced at Zhuge Liang and said, "Since ancient times, people in the world have seen all things as results, and no one has ever minded. Naturally, there is a need for an upright gentleman like you who walks the right way, but not everything in this temple can be seen, and at this time, people like me are needed, and Kong Ming may not be able to deal with it. "

"From ancient times to the present, as long as there are sages and temples, I have never heard of those who can't see the light."

"If the history books don't say it, how do you know evil?"
