Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 261

Liu Chan supervised the building of armored soldiers in Linqiong, and Chengdu was not idle.

Qiao Zhou, who had been in charge of preparing the military academy, made a breakthrough.

After he revealed that Prince Liu Chan, Shangshu Ling Fazheng, Military Advisor Zhuge Liang, and General Huang Zhong would all have their names in the school and take turns serving as lecturers, local families in Yizhou expressed their strong support.

This kind of support is not just lip service. What the Military Academy wants to cultivate are not only fierce warriors, but more importantly, grassroots officers with organizational skills and generals with tactical judgment.

Even a handsome talent with a strategic vision.

Grassroots officers are fine. Generals and handsome talents, apart from some talented players, still need a certain level of cultural accomplishment and knowledge.

Before the spread of cultural education, such seedlings were basically concentrated in the hands of the rich, which cannot be avoided.

Of course, when you are finally appointed, you still have to pass the assessment and perform martial arts.

In addition to rushing to contribute outstanding family children, each family even took the initiative to contribute to the construction of the school.

Of course, this is also for the sake of having more places when recruiting students in the school, and improving their political status in the old Liu's forces.

Recently, Qiao Zhou is busy choosing a site to build a school, and there are many different ways here, not only the environment is quiet, but also pay attention to Feng Shui and so on.

It seems that it will take some time to prepare for the official start of recruiting people to teach.

In addition, the paper industry also began to rise with the support of the government.

Regarding the promotion and popularization of paper, Liu Chan also made suggestions to Lao Liu, but Cai Lun paper at this time was still rough in workmanship and easily damaged, and it was not as safe as bamboo slips.

However, Liu Chan also mentioned the shortcomings of the bamboo slips being heavy and difficult to find and carry at the time, and believed that the potential of paper is still high, and higher-quality paper will definitely be produced.

In fact, Lao Liu still has no confidence in paper. As he gets older, he doesn't like to accept new things.

But this did not prevent him from having confidence in Liu Chan. With the blessing of high favorability, he finally agreed with Liu Chan's idea.

After all, now his son is no longer the foolish person he was when he was a child, and every step he takes has his own intentions.

Anyway, the development of papermaking consumes little money and resources.

In Liu Chan's way of thinking, first light up papermaking, and then light up printing, which can lay a solid foundation for the development of culture and education in the future.

But this is a long-term solution, don't worry.

After Zhuge Liang's return, apart from helping Fazheng share government affairs, he spent almost all his spare time inventing.

Even because Liu Chan restricted his bedtime, Army Master Zhuge is now drawing pictures even during meals...

The first is the improvement of the crossbow. This improvement Zhuge Liang is divided into two directions. One is the step crossbow with the ability to burst, and strives to make the long-range attack with the ability to penetrate armor more intensive.

The first is to continue to improve the bed crossbow. The bed crossbow has begun to be widely used in the Han Dynasty. However, although its range is long, its accuracy is poor, and its power is not high or low, which is a bit embarrassing.

Use it in field battles. It is very difficult and slow to carry and mount arrows, and it cannot meet the needs of the battlefield at all.

Siege and defense are okay, but it is not as convenient as a stone machine. After all, stones are much easier to handle than custom-made crossbows.

After the Leigong Cannon was made, the bed crossbow became something that grandma didn't love and uncle didn't love, with high cost and low benefit.

However, when Zhuge Liang was studying the continuous crossbow, he felt that the bed crossbow still had room for development.

Since there is nothing to be done about the bulky shortcomings, then simply abandon it and find a way to maximize the power and increase the accuracy.

After all, stones fly slowly and are easy to dodge. If the accuracy of the bed crossbow is improved, at least it can still have a place when attacking and defending cities.

Then there is the armor. The existing iron armor has no sleeves or collar, so its protective power is still low.

In Zhuge Liang's eyes, nothing is worth anything. If it leads to increased casualties in order to save, then it is putting the cart before the horse.

Especially those who can wear the mysterious armor are either officers or elite soldiers, one dies and the other loses.

So he pulled out two more sleeves on the basis of the original mysterious armor, and at the same time designed a stand-up collar to block the neck, and the hem was stretched into a skirt armor.

At the same time, the layered arrangement of the armor pieces has been improved to further improve the defense.

"The sleeves are like tubes, so they are called tube sleeve armor."

Compared with the repeating crossbow and the improved bed crossbow, which are still in the research process, the sleeve armor is the first to complete the design.

He still doesn't know that Liu Chan's forging technology has begun to advance by leaps and bounds.

If he combines his newly designed sleeve armor with the armor pieces made by Liu Chan's latest forging technology, Ji Han's several humanoid Gundams in the past can wear a suit... tsk tsk tsk.Zhuge Liang is focusing on inventions and creations, while Fa Zheng is adjusting official salaries according to Lao Liu's instructions.

The impact of the tax reform was too great. After deliberation, Chengdu's senior officials decided to use Nanzhong as a pilot project and observe it before making any decision.

So Lao Liu planned to start by improving the salaries of officials. What did his son say... narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor?
Nowadays, the salaries of officials at all levels that follow the old system are actually very unreasonable.

It is mainly reflected in the fact that the low is too low and the high is too high.

Although some officials can become officials, they didn't really care about the salary.

But there are also some people who really rely on these meager salaries to support their families, and it is often these people who are more honest and honest.

On the contrary, those who can hold high positions are not short of these three to five hundred stones, but they receive high salaries.

There was an incident where a county magistrate in a small county died of hunger and cold at home in winter because his salary was not enough for food (less than a hundred shi).

Afterwards, it was also cited as a good story, praising this person's integrity.

When Liu Chan heard about it for the first time, he thought it was nonsense.

Isn't this an institutional disgrace?Is it something to be praised?
Could the purpose of praising this kind of misery be to make other low-level officials follow him and starve themselves to death?

You have the ability to praise such sad things, why don't you do something practical.

When Liu Chan talked about this matter with Lao Liu, Lao Liu also believed it deeply.

Taking advantage of this vacant period right now, when Liu's Central Committee has the highest reputation, it is a good time for reform.

To put it simply, it is up, down, down, up, of course, now everyone is an official of the Han court in name, even if it is changed, it will be reformed without reforming the system.

That is to say, the payable wages remain unchanged and only the actual wages are changed.

Most of the high-level people are their own people, and there is no resistance to implementation, while many grassroots people are Yizhou locals, so this move also improves the treatment of Yizhou locals in disguise, and further narrows the relationship between the central government and local scholars.

Not only Zhuge Liang and Fa are busy, Liu Ba is also presiding over the continued improvement of Jing Yi's economic situation.

Today's society is different from that of later generations. Agriculture is the well-deserved economic pillar. In the final analysis, this is determined by the level of productivity.

But it does not mean that other economic production is not important, but the proportion is generally not high.

Liu Ba’s understanding of the low proportion is: huge potential.

Before Liu Chan began to control Zhao's firm to do business, Zhuge Liang had already seen the strong ability of Shu brocade to attract money.

But now Liu Ba not only continues Zhuge Liang's strategy, but also continues to encourage the public to plant mulberry, raise silkworms and sell them, and at the same time expand the scale of Jincheng and standardize the management of Jincheng by Jinguan.

The government-owned and private channels are expanding production and operation, coupled with Liu Chan's wine industry, and striving to create Yizhou's flagship product.

If you are an aristocrat, you must wear Shu brocade and drink aged wine.

Otherwise, what kind of dignitaries are you?What kind of celebrity is romantic?
How to show your noble temperament?It's embarrassing, all right.

I don't know when this kind of thought started, but it has been spread along with the scribes, officials, big households, and merchants who went to and from Shu.

Gradually, a popular trend formed, and it swept into the upper class of Wei and Wu, and it was likely to take the lead in "clearing Liuhe and sweeping the eight wastelands".

Most of the brocade clothes and fine clothes and brewed water and wine from the Wei and Wu real estates were defeated. Only Du Kang, who had the endorsement of Boss Cao during his lifetime, still had the power to fight in the northern market.

At the moment when high-grade baijiu has not yet appeared, the wines improved by Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang, especially the aged versions, have a mellow and long taste, which can be described as thriving.

Coupled with conscious propaganda and momentum, and the attention of the upper echelon as one of the strategies, we have today's situation.

Not only did Shu brocade and wine achieve great commercial success, but also the private circulation of Zhibaiqian between Wei and Wu.

Since Dong Zhuo's misuse of low-quality five-baht coins destroyed the credit of the monetary system, Cao Wei also tried to recover, but ultimately failed.

Coupled with the shortage of materials caused by the war, the common people have returned to the state of barter in order not to be affected by inflation.

Unexpectedly, the direct hundred coins created by Lao Liu to solve the emptiness of the treasury, instead took advantage of this opportunity and its strong products, and gradually became popular.

In addition to military equipment, Lao Liu Group has gradually begun to exert its strength in other aspects such as economy and system.

And these are even more difficult for opponents to detect...
