contend

Chapter 357
New sites have new defense zones.

The Qiang people in the south were basically beaten into a mess. There were sporadic battles, but most of them were harassment. Backing down is not a big threat in the short term.

Threats come from four directions, Xiaoguan, Fanghan, Xitao, and Xihai.

The previous four-sided control is no longer suitable for the current territory.

Yang Zheng thought about the sand table for a while, and decided to change Xiaoguan to be controlled from the east, Fuhan to be controlled from the south, Fuping to be controlled from the north, and Haibei City to be controlled from the west.

The four major systems also adopt a rotation system.

Zhou Yu is in charge of the north and town Fuping.

Yin Chun is in charge of the south, and the town is Hanhan.

Zhang Te is in charge of the west, Zhenhai North.

Jiang Faye is under the control of the east and towns Xiaoguan.

It is very likely that in the next two or three years, the Sima family will not start a big war, and even if they do, there is a [-]% chance that Huainan will be dealt with first, so Xiao Guan is not under much pressure.

Jiang Faye's ability is slightly inferior, but his execution ability is sufficient.

Longxi is a hotspot. Facing Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, Fanghan needs wise and brave generals, but Yang Zheng wants to use this place to sharpen Yin Chun.

It doesn't matter even if Fanghan loses it, just return to Heguan.

The Western Regions and Hetao will be the direction of Yang Zheng's progress in the next few years. Zhang Te and Zhou Yu are two generals, and each town has one side, so there is no big problem.

The problem is that if the general guards one side for too long, it will form a separatist force.

In fact, Cao Wei's four major governors were often rotated before Emperor Ming. Sima Yi was first the governor of Jingzhou, then the governor of Yongliang, and finally transferred to the center.

Guanqiu Jian was first the governor of Jingzhou, then the governor of Youzhou, the general of Duliao, the captain of Huwuhuan, the general of Zhennan, the governor of Yuzhou, and finally the governor of Yangzhou.

The same is true for Zhuge's birthday.

In addition to the exchange of coaches, soldiers also adopt the system of wrong service.

Wei Wu waved his whip, but he stumbled and stumbled in the early stage, and it didn't go well. Zhang Miao rebelled, colluded with Lu Bu and Chen Gong, and almost killed Cao Cao.

Then created the wrong slavery system, where the slaves and households live in one side.

That is to say, if Dingfu and his soldiers are not recruited from the local area, they must be separated from the location of their family.

Therefore, when Guanqiu Jian raised his troops, the soldiers were shaken as soon as they arrived in Ancheng. The reason was that he had a large number of Huaibei soldiers under his command, and his family members were in Huaibei under the control of Sima Division.

Guan Qiujian didn't send troops to Yan and Xu first, but directly smashed Luoyang, Hu Zun went south, and the soldiers in Huaibei were separated in an instant.

There are only untrained Huainan farmers around who are willing to work hard.

Once Wen Qin was defeated, Guan Qiujian was helpless.

Right now, Xiping has a government military system, and Yang Zheng is in charge of all the elite, so there is no need to mistake the service system for the time being.

General rotation can be.

It's not that they don't believe in Zhang Te, Zhou Yu, and Jiang Faye, but try to regulate them with the system.

After taking down Guzang, Yang Zheng is no longer a grassroots team.

In addition, Shao Tong of Longqi City, Li Te of Jishi Mountain, Zhou Zhi of Heguan, Gong Yu of Yuzhong, Zhao Deng and Yang Ji of Tuntian Division, etc., have gradually become the backbone of the Xiping Army.

Also on the rotation list.

In April, when the whole of Xiping was busy with spring plowing, Yang Zheng returned to Guzang with his personal guards.

Wuwei is waiting to be rebuilt, but the dust has not yet settled, and the family members stay in the western capital for the time being.

Coincidentally, Du Yu and Wei Guan returned to Guzang after reorganizing the Yongliang army and taking prisoners.

After Yang Zheng spoke out his idea, Du Yu pondered, and said: "We can add another deputy commander to guard key places such as Quyin, Poyan, Qilian, Heguan, and Yuzhong."

Yang Zheng thought so.

Du Yu agreed, Wei Guan had no objection, and Yang Zheng issued the military order directly.

"Our army is administering more and more areas, but local officials are uneven. We should recruit talents to govern the area." Du Yu asked a very urgent question.

In this battle, Wuwei, Anding, and Xitao were won.

In addition to the original Xiping, Jincheng, and Xihai, there are 38 counties in six counties.

The six counties in Jiangdong can establish a country, but in the northwest, the combined population of these six counties is not as large as that of Jiangdong.

If the Han Dynasty was strong, these six counties would add up to fifty or sixty counties, Wuwei alone would have fourteen counties, and Beidi County would have nineteen counties...

At the end of Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, Xitao, where Beidi County was located, was directly lost, and Wuwei was greatly reduced.

The population of other states and counties also withered.

There are 38 counties, many of which exceed the size of a county in terms of area, and the population is far behind.

This is the reality that Yang Zheng is facing now.

To put it bluntly, compared with the Central Plains, it is an ant...

Even compared with the dilapidated and exhausted Yongzhou, it is far inferior.

Of course, if you add Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye, and the Western Regions, Yang Zheng is enough to crush Guanzhong.

"How to recruit talented people?" Yang Zheng asked with piercing eyes.

There were major problems in the Han Cha Ju system and the Wei Jiupin Official Personnel Law.

If you are a scholar, you don't know the book.Give filial piety and honesty, and live away from your father.Han Su is clear, white and turbid like mud, and Gao Diliang is as timid as a chicken.

If you browse the history books carefully, you will find that the filial sons praised in history are all from the Eastern Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Wang Xiang, lying on the ice and begging for carp, is the ancestor of the Langya Wang family who opened the door.

Lu Ji, who is pregnant with oranges, is the Lu family of Jiangdong clan.

Master Sima was also known as a filial son back then...

It's not that filial piety is wrong, it's just that it's too easy to put on a show.

Is it true that all those who practice filial piety are descendants of aristocratic families?

They all went to promote filial piety, but the last word "honesty" was selectively forgotten.

As for the Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law, it went straight back to the old path of the Sima family.

In the beginning, there was indeed some progress in the system of filial piety and honesty for nine-rank officials, but it was too much a test of the integrity of Zhongzheng officials.

The two Jin Dynasties are bloody lessons.

Yang Zheng faintly felt that he had reached a critical intersection.

Du Yu said: "We can examine Juju and Zhongzheng in parallel, and then use Xuanyi Division to consider his ability and character."

This method is stronger than the single nine-rank Zhongzheng system, and there is Xuanyi Division to guard the door.

But it is not enough and does not touch the root of the problem.

What Yang Zheng wanted was to completely open the channel for the bottom layer to jump upwards.

Military merit is only one of the ways.

Another way is how to select talents.

This is also the time limitation of Du Yu.

It just so happened that Yang Zheng was experienced in this area.

Although the conditions for the imperial examination system are not yet mature, it can be slightly improved according to the current situation.

In this respect, the big killer in Yang Zheng's hands was not the Xuanyi Division, but the Youth Camp.

Right now, the youth camp is almost the nine-year compulsory education for future generations.

Free food and housing, study at public expense.

For so many years, under Yang Zheng's deliberate guidance, it is no longer limited to Confucian classics, covering art of war, martial arts, astronomy, geography, medicine, alchemy, and even forging, carpentry, and city building.

Although many disciplines have only prototypes, and no famous teachers can be hired, but the framework is set up, and various details will be filled in sooner or later.

Perhaps Yang Zheng's biggest fortune in history books in the future will not be the separatist rule of Yongliang, but the creation of the Youth Camp.

"Exam!" Yang Zheng threw out two words.

Du Yu and Wei Guan were stunned at the same time, and finally Wei Guan spoke first: "Could it be the evaluation of the school?"

Yang Zheng nodded, "That's exactly the case. All the talented people who have been scouted, recruited, and selected by the local government will be included in Guzang, and the government will set a test to test their talents, knowledge, and strategies."

Paper is no longer a rare thing in this era, and Xiping can also be imitated. It is just crushed wood pulp, bamboo pulp, and rattan pulp, screened and purified, dehydrated, pressed and dried. It is not a high-tech thing. It is a test of craftsmanship. heat.

Although it is rough and not as good as Zuo Bo paper in Luoyang, it is good enough for writing.

Yang Zheng could still produce thousands of sheets of paper for the exam.

In the first year, after repeated weighing, Yang Zheng did not include the children of the youth camp for the time being.

Let's see Shi Jiahaoyou's reaction first, and give them time to adapt.

On the other hand, most of the children in the youth camp are fifteen or sixteen years old. Even if they are successful in their studies, they are released to become county magistrates... It is a bit shocking.

Eat food one bite at a time, walk the road step by step.

Yang Zheng has high hopes for the Youth Camp, but he can't back it up.

Given time, a hundred flowers will eventually bloom.

"This strategy is feasible." Wei Guan praised it very much.

Du Yu's eyes lit up, "This strategy not only brings the power of Zhongzheng to the center, but also selects real talents. The general is really very human."

Yang Zheng blushed, he didn't even know how to copy homework, wouldn't it be a waste of time to travel?
