Chapter 684, Remedial lessons

The conversation was divided into two parts, Zhao Yun took Xia Houlan to his mansion, and then Zhao Yun asked: "Has there been any changes in your hometown in these years?"

Zhao Yun has not seen his hometown for nearly 20 years since he joined Liu Bei. After Jizhou was occupied by Dagan, Zhao Yun even lost contact with his relatives!
Xia Houlan replied: "Naturally, it is getting better and better. Our ability to govern the world is more than 10 times stronger than the emperor of the Han Dynasty. In recent years, relatives in my hometown, under the leadership of the local prefect and county magistrate, have reclaimed wasteland and built orchards , built a brewery, and now every family is full of food, even because there is too much food, everyone can’t finish it. Under the leadership of technicians, everyone began to raise chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry, as well as livestock such as cattle, sheep and pigs. You can eat meat after a while, and this kind of life is not comparable to that of the Han Dynasty. If you go back to Zhending County, you will find that every household has a ruling longevity tablet!"

Zhao Yun nodded in relief and said, "If this is the case, I will be relieved!"

Xia Houlan looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, you are more than 10 times more capable than me, why don't you join me this time and do a big job together, your ability will definitely be reused by the ruling party!"

But Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "The general didn't treat Yun badly, Yun can't do such a disloyal thing!"

For Zhao Yun, now is the darkest thing for Liu Bei, he cannot leave at this time!
Xia Houlan shook her head and said: "Zilong, you are such a dead-headed person. Now that Liu Bei is a grasshopper after autumn, what are you doing with him? Isn't your ideal at the beginning just to be able to pacify the world with a wise lord? It is obvious that you can pacify the world We are in power!"

Zhao Yun smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Lei! It's Yun who saw it wrong!"

But in the year when Lei Gong revolted in Wei County, Zhao Yun, who was already a small official in Changshan, of course knew Lei Gong, but at that time Zhao Yunbing was not optimistic about the Yellow Turban Army and Lei Gong. The reason for the cruel suppression of the nobles, Zhao Yun is not optimistic that Lei Gong can become the person who unifies the world. After all, the most powerful people in the world are the nobles.

But he never expected that Lei Gong was really a strong man from the sky. He led the people in the world to suppress the entire powerful family of the big man. Not to mention that Zhao Yun was wrong about this, even the powerful families in the world would not have thought that Lei Gong would have With such a powerful ability, the people of the world will explode with such a powerful fighting force when they are organized!The entire powerful clan of the big man is so vulnerable in the face of this force.

So when Lei Gong showed his strength, Zhao Yun had already turned to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei's political philosophy was also the same as Zhao Yun's.He has never thought of leaving Liu Bei, even now!
But not long after, Zhao Yun said firmly: "Now Lei Gong is about to unify the world. A martial artist like Yun will not have much homework after he goes to work. On the contrary, it is the general who needs Yun to conquer the world!"

Xia Houlan thought about it, her family's ruling party didn't have much favor for surrendered generals, and would not give official positions under normal circumstances. The only exception was Zhang He and the others, but this was also their future earned by eating wind and sand in the Western Regions. If Zhao Yun surrendered to take power, he might have to be stationed in the desert or a deserted island in the future. Thinking of this, he thought it would be best for Zhao Yun to follow Liu Bei.

Of course, the premise is that Liu Bei has self-knowledge to give up Jiaozhou. If Liu Bei refuses to negotiate a peace, Xia Houlan will definitely persuade Zhao Yun to leave Jiaozhou with him. After all, he can't watch Zhao Yun court death.

The next day, when Xia Houlan came to the meeting room again, Liu Bei finally agreed to Daqian's negotiation conditions and was willing to lead the army to leave Jiaozhou, but he put forward a condition that Dagan would have to pay 100 million for every county he withdrew from Jiaozhou. Stone's grain and 5000 sets of armored swords in exchange.Every time a batch of food and battle armor came to Liu Bei, he would withdraw from a county.

And now Liu Bei occupies seven of the nine counties in Jiaozhou (Zhuya and Dan'er were occupied by the Dagan Navy in advance!) Dagan will have to pay 700 million shi for food and 3 sets of armor and swords.

Such a large sum of money is naturally not up to Xia Houlan to decide. He said he would ask his superiors for instructions, but the general framework for the future can be considered to be negotiated.

Soon this news was passed on to Yang Feng by Fei Ge, but he didn't dare to agree to such a condition, so he proceeded to pass it on to Xu Wei, the capital of Ji!
Seeing Liu Bei's conditions, Xu Wei smiled and said: "The most important thing I need is food and armored swords. If you only pay this price, you can get Jiaozhou, this business can be done!"

If ordinary feudal countries can’t afford such conditions, food is easy to deal with, and it’s a big deal to hoard for a few more years, but there are really few feudal countries that can afford tens of thousands of sets of armor. Even the Song Dynasty, which is famous for its wealth, but This small amount of supplies can only be regarded as a year's output for Daqian, which has entered semi-industrialization, and food can be produced from only one place in Nanjun.

The high-ranking officials of Dagan have not adapted to the change of their identities, and their families have not multiplied to an extremely large level, and they occupy not many resources. The original aristocratic clan was severely injured by Xu Wei. The resources mastered by Dagan now can be said to have surpassed those of previous dynasties. Even the Qin Dynasty, which was a war machine, is not as good as the current Dagan. Come on, the period when the upper layer occupies the least resources.

But Niu Gui disagreed and said: "Government, although this resource is not much for our Daqian, it is still a lot. These materials add up to more than one billion yuan. This is enough for our Dagan. Building hundreds of miles of elevated water canals, hundreds of miles of concrete roads and dozens of miles of railways, the entire Dagan is now short of money everywhere. Why should we give Liu Bei billions of supplies? His defeated soldiers are not worthy of us Spend more than a billion dollars!"

Now Niu Gui is the big housekeeper of the entire Dagan court, and the entire Dagan asks him for money from top to bottom. Now that Niu Gui has developed the habit of being stingy, he has to personally look over the movements of millions of dollars, let alone With such a fund of more than one billion yuan, how many things can be done by staying in Daqian, and now it is given to Liu Bei, an enemy, for nothing, how could he accept it!

Xu Wei laughed dumbly and said: "If you don't agree with Liu Bei's peace negotiation conditions, then we can only continue to fight. The navy will mobilize hundreds of warships, and more than 5 soldiers will be sent to Jiaozhou. Such a war is the worst At least several billions of military expenses will be spent. This does not include the money we spent on re-governing Jiaozhou affected by the war. If we add this money, we will spend more than tens of billions on this war!"

As soon as the cannon fires, the gold is ten thousand taels. War has always been a luxury, especially for an army like the Dagan Army that has been guaranteed in place. If you want to reduce the number of deaths, you can only spend more money!
Niu Gui thought for a while and said: "Even if Liu Bei's request is agreed to, we can't just agree to whatever conditions they say. At least we have to bargain!"

Then Niu Gui issued an order to Yang Feng in the name of the imperial court, how much Yang Feng can cut down the billions of dollars in the negotiation fee, and he will stay in Jingzhou as the construction cost of Jingzhou!
As a result, Yang Feng's mobility was greatly increased, and he found some people from his own army who were the best at bargaining, and went to Jiaozhou to negotiate. In the end, the price was reduced to the price of 30 shi for a county and a thousand sets of armored swords.

Dagan took out 30 shi of grain and a thousand sets of armored swords, and Liu Bei gave up a county. When Dagan completely delivered 210 million shi of grain and 7000 sets of armored swords, Liu Bei led his subordinates to withdraw from Jiaozhou completely!
After the agreement was signed, Yang Fengsong said with a sigh of relief: "Finally, Liu Bei's problem has been solved, and now all that remains is to deal with the elites in Jingzhou! Clean them up, and Jingzhou can get on the right track!"

Yang Feng, who is used to not seeing a big family on the site, sees the docks on the map of Jingzhou. The families are extremely eye-catching, but Liu Bei has not been completely wiped out before. There is plenty of martial arts, and Jingzhou is quite strong and weak, and the price paid for forcibly encircling and suppressing these families is extremely high. That's why Jingzhou's elite clans have occupied Jingzhou for 2 years in Dagan and have not been cleared.But now Yang Feng can spend his main energy on dealing with the elites in Jingzhou.

Yang Feng said to his subordinates: "Send people to inform the families in Jingzhou, and say that they will be invited to Jiangling City to discuss the development of Jingzhou! The time is set at the end of this month!"

He clasped his fists and saluted, "No!"

Xiangyang, Longzhong Township, Shuijing Academy!
A group of young scholars are looking at the collective graphics on the blackboard very seriously.

Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Jing, finished drawing the graphics, and said very seriously: "Mathematics is the main subject of this imperial examination, and the government attaches great importance to mathematics. It must be very important. You must learn and study. I think you know it well." With the current situation of his own family, Lei Gong doesn’t like us families of powerful families at all. The imperial examinations are not for us, and the enrollment of the mechanical university this time is your only chance to enter the top ranks, because this exam is not Restricted origin."

While Xu Wei and Yang Feng were all concerned about negotiating with Liu Bei, the entire Dagan was originally from aristocratic clans, but all of them were making a sensation for the upcoming mechanical university.

Because this university enrolls students regardless of background, as long as they are high-ranking people, they can take part. This is nothing to ordinary people. They have to go through this kind of exam almost every year. The most difficult thing for them On the contrary, any official who passed the imperial examination and became a senior official.

But for the aristocrats who have always wanted to take part in the imperial examination, but were unable to join because of their birth, the establishment of the Mechanical University is no less than a cloud-covered sky sprinkled with sunshine!Let the nobles who are still in Daqian see a glimmer of hope for family revival!

After getting the news, the entire Daqian elite family began to collect the content of these mechanical college exams. After knowing that most of the content was in advanced mathematics, physics and Chinese, the three books were sold like crazy.

Here in Jingzhou is the most well-preserved power of the nobles, and they are considered the richest. After learning the news, they not only printed these three books themselves, but also summoned the most powerful teachers in Jingzhou, Mr. Shui Jing and Pang Shigong Daru to give them The children at home make up lessons!Want to come out on top in the exams in June!

As a result, Shuijing Academy, which had already been defeated, was once again crowded with students. They were all genuine sons and daughters of the powerful.They also know that their family's current situation is extremely dangerous, and they want to pass this exam to improve their family's fate.

It's a pity that these sons and daughters have read the Six Classics for half their lives, and can memorize the Analects fluently, but like geometric figures such as PA=pb, pb=PC, many people are dizzy when they see these symbols, and want to get angry. Strong people are powerless, and many people only realize the limit of their IQ for the first time, and it turns out that they are just ordinary people.

After several exams, few people even passed the exam, which made them extremely ashamed and made their family anxious.The enrollment quota is only 1000 people. If they cannot squeeze into the 1000 quota, their family may be completely abandoned in the new dynasty.

Mr. Shui Jing was very anxious when he saw the results of his students, but even a famous teacher like him was helpless in the face of this situation, because he couldn't understand many of these topics, and even as a teacher, he couldn't understand them, so the students naturally learned Not so much anymore.

Of course, the overall academic performance of the children of the powerful clan is not good, but there are also geniuses among them. The Shuijing class, the class leader Zhuge Liang, is a genius with extraordinary talents. When others are still working hard to pass, he can easily pass the exam. Get a perfect score.

So much so that he, the class monitor, became the half teacher of the students, and many students came to Zhuge Liang to answer the questions that they couldn't understand.

Zhuge Liang’s insights in physics even surpassed Mr. Shui Jing’s teacher. Sometimes he would take the students to do some small physics experiments to deepen everyone’s impression of physics. Because of Zhuge Liang’s selfless dedication, the students They are all very grateful to him.

When Mr. Shui Jing saw that everyone was puzzled, he could only sigh helplessly: "Kong Ming came up to answer this question!"

Zhuge Liang explained the steps of the questions on the blackboard in detail.

This made the students below all admire. In such detailed steps, they finally understood the topic clearly.

"Kong Ming is really good, he can solve such a difficult math problem!"

"It's his good luck. Although his family was defeated, no one forced him to read the Six Classics of Confucianism. He didn't have a teacher to teach him, so he read miscellaneous books at will, which made him a good foundation!" Pang Tong said dissatisfied.

Because of the defeat of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Xuan led Zhuge Liang and the others to run around, where there was no time to teach Zhuge Liang and his family, they had to learn by themselves, and Zhuge Liang dabbled in a wide range of books, and the books he was most likely to read at that time were Xu Wei compiled various mathematics, Chinese, and physics books, which laid a good foundation for him.
