I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 363, Imperial Examinations and Border Aids
Zhu Hao's words made Sun Ce speechless. At the same time, Sun Ben, Zhu Zhi, and Cheng Pu also began to persuade Sun Ce to surrender to the court. They were different from the young Sun Ce. They had already seen that Yuan Shu had become A wrecked ship, now taking refuge in the imperial court is the best way out for them!Sun Ce, who was in trouble at home and abroad, found that his declaration of wanting to resist to the end was so weak!

In the middle of May in the fourth year of Chuping of the Han Dynasty (AD 193)
Liu Bei led an army of 8 troops to the city of Hefei!
Sun Ce rode alone in front of Liu Bei's army and shouted: "General, you can surrender if you want me, Sun Ce, as long as someone can defeat me!"

After Zhu Hao came to Hefei and brought the conditions that the court was willing to appease them, Sun Ce was in great pain. The uncles who raised him were unwilling to continue fighting. They wanted to return to the court, but he felt sorry for surrendering like this Yuan Shu who has always taken good care of him!

After suffering like this for a few days, Sun Ce decided to use his own method to solve this problem, that is, to die on the battlefield, which can be regarded as an explanation to Yuan Shu!

Liu Bei and the others looked at this scene strangely and said, "Didn't Wenming say that he had persuaded Sun Ce to surrender, what's going on now?"

Yuan Ji looked at Sun Ce and said, "Maybe it's youthful spirit. Sun Ce felt that he was sorry for Yuan Shu by surrendering like this, so he wanted to repay with his life!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei admired Sun Ce and said, "I didn't embarrass Sun Wentai!"

Then Liu Bei shouted: "Zilong go to meet Sun Ce, but don't hurt Sun Ce's life!"

Liu Bei came to admire Sun Ce on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to take Zhu Jun into consideration, so he didn't intend to hurt Sun Ce!

After Zhao Yun heard Liu Bei's order, he galloped out.

Seeing Zhao Yun go out to battle, Sun Ce said, "Will you announce your name?"

"Changshan Zhao Zilong!"

After speaking, he rushed towards Sun Ce on his horse!

Sun Ce rejoiced and said: "I have long heard that the general has three generals who are capable of defeating ten thousand enemies. Today, I will let someone experience it and see if the rumors are exaggerated!"

Then Sun Ce also rode his horse and rushed towards Zhao Yun. When the two were getting closer, Sun Ce suddenly drew out his saber, and slashed out with the momentum of thunder!

"Kill!" Zhao Yun blocked with his long spear, resisting Sun Ce's lightning strike, the swords and guns collided, and sparks flew everywhere.

Zhao Yun stabs Sun Ce with his long spear!Sun Ce instinctively leaned back to avoid the blow!
After that, the two rode their horses to fight continuously, and there was no victory or defeat for dozens of rounds of the battle!

Looking at the fierce fighter, Zhang Fei excitedly said, "How many brushes does this Sun Ce have, and he can resist Zilong's attacks for so many rounds! If I had known that Sun Ce was so brave, my brother should have let me fight!"

Liu Bei said angrily, "Your attack is not serious or serious. If you kill Sun Ce, how can I explain to Mr. Zhu!"

Guan Yu on the side came to Liu Bei and said, "Sun Ce is about to lose!"

Sun Ce tried his best every time he used his sword. Although his sword skills were fierce, he consumed a lot of energy. During the dozens of rounds of fighting, Zhao Yun had nothing to do, but he was already out of breath. In the end, Sun Ce was caught by Zhao Yun and shot with a spear. Down!
Even the generals were defeated, Sun Ce completely gave up!

Without Sun Ce's obstruction, Liu Bei and the others easily took over Hefei!
The story was divided into two parts. Sun Ce, who was guarding Hefei, led an army of 1 to seek refuge with Liu Bei. When the news reached Shouchun, Yuan Shu was extremely shocked and disappointed. Li Ye, Ji Ling and others were also stunned. After a great battle, he turned around and took refuge in Liu Bei. This is too shameless to be a man!
Sun Ce's betrayal finally made Yuan Shu wake up from his dream of imperial dominance. He knew that he would never have a chance to make a comeback, and God seemed to play a joke on him. The Jianghuai area will enter the rainy season from May to July , but it happened that it was mid-May this year, but there was still no rain. Instead, every day was sunny, and it was very time to march. It was obviously impossible for him to use the weather to stop Liu Bei!Yuan Shu laughed miserably, feeling disheartened for a while.

The Xuzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army also crossed Guangling County and entered Zhongli County. Now the 8 coalition troops are less than 200 miles away from Shouchun!
May [-]th!The [-] court coalition forces surrounded Shouchun.Yuan Shu approached Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, Ji Ling and others to discuss countermeasures, but found that he had no other way out but surrender!
And at this moment Yuan Ji came to Shouchun City!Yuan Shu didn't feel surprised when he saw Yuan Ji, but said calmly, "Brother, you are here!"

Yuan Ji's heart was complicated at this time, and he had hatred for Yuan Shu and the others, but he felt a little distressed when he saw the decadent Yuan Shu. He and Yuan Shu were brothers, and they had a good relationship since childhood!If it weren't for the incident of the Kwantung Allied Forces, their relationship would not be what it is now!

"Surrender, Highway!"

Yuan Shu smiled miserably: "The current situation still makes me refuse to surrender? How does the imperial court plan to deal with me?"

Yuan Jidao: "Now that the imperial court is really employing people, it will not kill you, but exile you for thousands of miles. You and your confidantes will be exiled to Lingling County for reclamation!"

Yuan Shu taunted: "Liu Bei is worthy of being a mud-legged person. He really wants to use the reclamation system to conquer the world, and now he still wants to use the reclamation system in such a barren land as Lingling County!"

Yuan Shu doesn't even want Jiangdong, let alone the land of Jingnan, don't think that this is the big granary for future generations, but now the four counties of Jingnan don't even have a million people!It's a truly wild place.

Yuan Ji said unhappily: "If you have the ability, you will not be reduced to what you are now. You are ashamed to look down on Liu Bei's reclamation system. Your starting point is much higher than Liu Bei, but he has already become a general, and now you You have already become a prisoner, and you are ashamed to look down on others! You have to let go of your arrogance a little bit and you won’t be reduced to this! Looking at you now, it is a shame to the Yuan family!"

Yuan Shu was almost pissed off, but he quickly counterattacked: "Yes, brother, you are the glory of the Yuan family, and you have become the lackey of the general. You want to go back to the original path, brother, but I don't know when you will do it." Die Liu Bei!"

Yuan Ji said helplessly: "You, the only thing left is to be stubborn. Go to Jingnan and do a good job. I will find a way to let you end your exile as soon as possible!"

After Yuan Ji entered Shouchun, he declared Shouchun's surrender, and Yuan Shu's power was officially destroyed!
Then in terms of rewards for meritorious deeds, although the Qingzhou Army and the Xuzhou Army did not play much role, they supported them from thousands of miles away, and Xun You even told Liu Bei how hard it is to resist Lei Gong in Qingzhou now, and asked the court for support. Liu Bei could only accumulate Yuan Shu in Shouchun Give them half of their wealth and food!

After Xun You and Tao Qian discussed, the money went to the Xuzhou Army, and the food and grass went to the Qingzhou Army!

At the same time, Liu Bei recruited Liu Yao into the imperial court in the name of the imperial court and was promoted to become one of the nine ministers, Da Si Nong!Liu Yao had no intention of separatist rule, so he happily handed over his soldiers and horses, and happily went to Jingzhou to take office, and Liu Bei appointed Guan Yu as the governor of Yangzhou!
At this point, the entire battle of Yangzhou is over, the territory directly under the imperial court has expanded to Jing and Yangzhou, and the strength has been restored, but Liu Bei will start to face Yuan Shao's political offensive in the imperial court!

The story is divided into two parts. When the war is raging in the south, the land of Hebei is peaceful. Everyone is working hard to build their own homes!

After Xu Wei raised enough funds, the major factories under the control of the Tengjia Army continued to manufacture various agricultural implements and implements and transported them to the four counties in Liaodong!

The legion in Liaodong opened very quickly. Hundreds of legion points have been established in the Liaohe area. These field soldiers are not only young and strong, but also have a lot of iron farm tools in their hands. There are hundreds of cattle and horses in each settlement point. Many, it can be said that these advanced tools and large animals have greatly accelerated the speed of reclamation. In less than a month, 3 reclamation soldiers reclaimed 30 mu of land, and all of them planted soybeans, and then everyone waited. Autumn Harvest!
After coming out of the military station, after being inspired by Xu Wei, businessmen like Zhen An also began to discover that the vast Liaodong was a new hotspot of wealth in Daqian.

They brought their own craftsmen and caravans to Pingguo County, Liaodong County, and then they saw Liaodong where towering trees are everywhere, sea fish are everywhere in the sea, and even the number of islands in Liaodong is more than ten times that of Guannei. There are obviously more fecal stones than in Guannei.

These big businessmen thought that they came to the right place, so they started to build their own shipyards, fish processing factories, carpentry factories, and recruited local people to cut down giant trees in the wild.Forming fishing teams and caravans digging for struvite made the whole Liaodong very lively.

The Liaodong area is already sparsely populated. Zhen An and the others invested a lot of money in the construction of Liaodong and recruited a large number of workers, which quickly pushed up the local wages. Fool, they don't want to work for businessmen like Zhen An and the like, but form their own logging team, cut down trees and sell them to Zhen An and the others, so they can make more money!It can be said that big businessmen like Zhen An learned to do what they did, and even the locals started to form caravans to compete with Zhen An and the others for business!
These Liaodong natives also began to enter these industries.The workers were snatched away by them, which forced them to recruit workers from the customs. Zhen An paid three times more wages than the customs, and helped them buy round-trip boat tickets. Liaodong was very far away by land, but It only takes a few days to go by sea, and this time is the same as going to another county for the people in Dagan. Faced with three times the monthly salary, few people can resist this temptation, even if it is a few months of odd jobs It is also a big profit.

It took Xu Wei billions of dollars to recruit 3 field soldiers, but Zhen An and the others easily recruited tens of thousands of troops from the pass to Liaodong to help them do things!
Moreover, the actions of Zhen An and the others have made more and more people think that the land of Liaodong is promising. Otherwise, why would their big businessmen like Qu Shuai and Zhen An go to Liaodong, so there are more and more people among the people. In less than a month, 4 to 5 people went to Liaodong to farm. After all, a family in Liaodong can get hundreds of acres of land, which is more than three times more than that in the customs!

And these are private households, and Xu Wei is not easy to use the military model!
So he decided that Liaodong would set up villages, set up a village with a thousand people, and have a village head, and the management of these village heads would become a big problem. In such an undeveloped place, the stricter the management, after all, a piece of white paper is easy to draw on. Xu Wei does not want to establish a feudal system, but wants to establish a system that adapts to the industrialized world. There is no better than Liaodong. place.

Xu Weike remembered that the history teacher said that the reason why the industrialization of Hope Country developed the fastest was because there was no hindrance from the feudal system!And Liaodong can become the western part of Dagan.

Therefore, not only can there be fewer cadres in Liaodong, but they must be more than those in Dagan Guan, but this requires more than a little talent. If we really follow the modern system, the entire Dagan cadres cannot fill the vacancies in Liaodong.

So Xu Wei selected cadres within the entire cadre, and there was nothing more fair and appropriate than the imperial examination system if he wanted to recruit talents.

So Xu Wei issued an edict, all citizens who are able to read and write can pass the imperial examination to become village chiefs, and Qiang Fu and other 400 shi fighters will support the construction of Liaodong!

And as long as these cadres have been in Liaodong for more than three years, those who perform well can be promoted to a higher level, the village head can become the township head, and the township head can become the county magistrate!County magistrates can become sheriffs!This is the advanced experience of the later generations of the Celestial Dynasty.
And the cadres at the village head level within Dagan can recommend themselves and choose to work in Liaodong. Basically, these cadres can be promoted to a higher level when they go to Liaodong!The treatment is also the same as other cadres who support Liaodong. For officials inside the cadres, this is a two-level promotion. For many people, this is a shortcut to the south.

Once this news was released, it caused a sensation in the entire Dagan Kingdom, especially the children of the noble families who were suppressed by Xu Wei. The gap with them is too big, and they don't dare to have the idea of ​​revenge, but cutting off their official careers is what makes them most desperate. As the children of the powerful, they naturally know that this means that they can only be excluded. Outside of the ruling class of the Dagan country, this is what they cannot bear.

In order to re-enter Dagan's officialdom, the remaining powerful clans have thought of many ways, buying Dagan's national debt, helping Lei Gong to stabilize the border, and helping Lei Gong to deliver food and grass when he was fighting. It can be said that these powerful clans treated Lei Gong more than the original Lingdi. Ten times, a hundred times more hard work, if they could break up their family and build their country like this back then, Emperor Ling might have laughed out loud!

But even though they care so much about Lei Gong, their children have a very difficult life in Dagan. Most of them are below the rank of petty officials like Qiang Fu. If they want to rise up, they will encounter obstacles. They know this obstacle From Lei Gong!It is because of this that they are particularly desperate!

But now that Lei Gong has opened up the restrictions on them, the exam determines success or failure, they don't think that the mud legs of Daqian can be compared with their poetry and book heirs, even if they become a small official with 400 shi, it is a victory for them, let alone go After entering Liaodong, they can be promoted to the county magistrate of Qianshi, which allows them to break through the ceiling given to them by Lei Gong.
