Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 191 New Year, New Policy
Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang stood up and said in almost tacit agreement: "Your Highness, the county government's coffers are full and can fully pay for the cost of road construction! We have no objection!"

Liu Bianfu said: "Great! So, all the expenses needed to build the road will be funded by these two gentlemen?"

Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang raised their hands together and said, "Don't you dare disobey me."

No bargaining at all, and a bold posture.

The saying "Money is not everything, money is everything" is really brought into full play, which makes Liu Bian secretly happy. Regardless of how much wealth Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang have as wealthy businessmen, but Guan Er It’s so refreshing to see such a friendly person!
Once you have money, you can do things easily, which is really great.

All the officials listened and remained silent.

Especially Yuan Shao, he was even more stunned, as if he was stunned by Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang's generosity.

With a slight smile, Liu Bian turned to Cao Cao and said coldly: "Master Cao."

Liu Bian was talking about Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was startled for a moment, then raised his hands and said, "My lord, what do you want me to do?"

"Are you willing to supervise the construction process of "Boyou Road"? "Liu Bian asked.

Yuan Shao looked sternly and looked at Cao Cao steadily.

Cao Cao didn't seem to feel Yuan Shao's gaze, and asked curiously: "My lord, why did you appoint Cao?"

——Because Wuhuan's vitality has been severely damaged, you don't need to build the "Pinglu Canal" anymore... Since "Three Kingdoms" records that you opened a canal to attack Wuhuan, rising from the Hutuo River and going down to Hushui, it shows that Are you familiar with building water conservancy projects?
Liu Bian thought to himself, but dared not say it out loud.

With a raised brow, Liu Bian said excitedly: "What? Are you worried that you can't do it well? - Well, I will change someone else..."

"My lord!" Cao Cao said hurriedly, "Since my lord trusts Cao, Cao must do his best and never let down my lord's expectations! I also ask my lord to agree to Cao's supervision of the river construction!"

Before Liu Bian could speak, Cao Cao clasped his fists at Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang and said with a smile: "Zhang Shaofu, Su Shaofu, please help me, Cao, with the construction of "Boyou Road"!" "

Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang subconsciously raised their hands in return, and then remembered... Your Highness hasn't agreed yet?Why did I become a substitute?

The bowing posture suddenly froze, and Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang looked at Liu Bian awkwardly.

Liu Bian laughed and sighed: "Master Cao has recommended himself in this way, do I dare to undermine Master Cao's enthusiasm? - Forget it, I agree that Master Cao will supervise the construction of "Boyou Road". Don't let him. I am disappointed! "

"Here!!"

Cao Cao, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang responded in unison.

"Very good!" Liu Bian nodded, "At that time, the three of you will be responsible for the roads in Bohai County. As for the roads in Youzhou, could you please discuss it with the Youzhou envoy? If there are any problems that cannot be solved, report them later. This king!"

"Here!" The three took orders.

Liu Bian lightly touched the case and said, "This matter has been decided!
Next, it’s about the governance of Fuyang County, Gaocheng County and Yangxin County! "

Liu Bian spoke quickly, brought up the next topic, and successfully focused on Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were so shocked that they stood up suddenly, as if they had done something wrong.

In fact...well~how should I put it?It’s hard to describe in one word!

Liu Bei is the magistrate of Fuyang County, and the governance situation is acceptable. The key is Gaocheng County and Yangxin County. One county is worse than the other. According to Shi Yue's investigation and reporting results, when it comes to public security and military training, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei He is really a good player, he can do more than two things at once, and he does it in a sound and sensible manner, but let’s stop there!
First of all, Guan Yu looked down upon the scholar-bureaucrats, while Zhang Fei was just the opposite: he valued the officials but despised the soldiers!

The consequences of this are: knowledge is in the hands of scholar-officials, but there are no scholar-officials in Gaocheng County - aristocratic families or powerful people. Although the people of Gaocheng County are not oppressed, there are not many management talents to govern Gaocheng County... Only Guan Yu, It was impossible to solve trivial matters in a timely and effective manner, which caused quite a lot of criticism among the local people.

In addition, Gaocheng County is close to the sea and is rich in resources. Unfortunately, Guan Yu did not make good use of resources rationally, so that Gaocheng County... became poorer as time went by.

As for Yangxin County, Zhang Fei respects aristocratic or powerful families - fortunately, there are only one or two very peaceful noble families in Yangxin County. It seems that they were intimidated by the large number of tenant farmers who relocated a few years ago... In short, the Yangxin County noble families Although they were well-behaved and could assist Zhang Fei in handling trivial matters, it was a pity that the Yangxin County militiamen were beaten, scolded and whipped by Zhang Fei at every turn, causing local people to complain a lot.

The Yangxin County militiamen did not appear out of thin air. They were all voluntarily signed up by the people of Yangxin County. They were looking for a guarantee of life and were essentially "civilians". The soldiers who were severely beaten by Zhang Fei were equivalent to Zhang Fei. Bullying the people of Yangxin County... Tsk!

Therefore, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's management of the county town was half a pound to half a pound, so no one should laugh at the other.

Although Liu Bei did not step on the thunder like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and offended the people in the county, he was not much better: Liu Bei's governance ability can only be said to be quite satisfactory, neither eye-catching nor at the bottom, but it is guaranteed. The people of Fuyang County have enough food and clothing...but this is not enough!

As a man with great ambitions, how could Liu Bei be satisfied with his current level of food and clothing?

Then we must live a well-off life and even develop Fuyang County into one of the best coastal cities, right?

Furthermore, these three counties are all close to the sea!Naturally, it is the best place for Bohai County to develop its maritime business!
Thinking of this, Liu Bian's eyes were bright and he said: "Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, do you welcome my inspection?"

Ok? !

Liu Bei blinked, probably not expecting that Liu Bian was talking about this proposal.

Recovering quickly, Liu Bei said: "Welcome, welcome, naturally welcome."

Liu Bian's eyes curled up and he said happily: "Really? - After the spring, I will patrol Fuyang County first and teach Uncle Wang how to develop the seafood industry? Nanpi County has been waiting for you, Fuyang County, What about the long-term seafood in Gaocheng County and Yangxin County? If all goes well, then build a sea port...

County Magistrate Guan and County Magistrate Zhang, you are not allowed to be absent. Listen together, learn from it, and use it in the counties under your jurisdiction. "

What?
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were surprised when they were pointed out.

Zhang Fei's eyes widened and he exclaimed:

"what?"

"Ah what?" Liu Bian really wanted to roll his eyes if it wasn't for the sake of maintaining his image, "Could it be that you want me to visit Fuyang County, Gaocheng County and Yangxin County in sequence? I'm not afraid of tiring me!

The reason why I went to Fuyang County for inspection is to give you Gaocheng County and Yangxin County a reference!If I inspect all three counties and get involved, what do I want you three county magistrates to do?

You have to learn to think, you know? "

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei suddenly fell silent.

"Do you have any other questions?" Liu Bian asked.

Liu, Guan and Zhang shook their heads.

"Then let's discuss the last item - Nanpi Academy!" Liu Bian said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Shu, Zhuge Xuan, Cui Yan, Guoyuan, Bing Yuan, Guan Ning and Sun Qian straightened their backs.

The rest of the officials had subtle expressions.

Liu Bian was minding his own business and asked: "Yuan Yu is offering wine, how is the construction progress of Nanpi Academy? It has been a long time since the "ancestor worship" ceremony. "The implication is: Although I am not doing anything during the bathing period, the Nanpi Academy should be completed.

The strange thing is: Liu Bian asked Yuan Shu, but the person who answered Liu Bian was Zhuge Xuan.

Zhuge Xuan stood up and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, Nanpi Academy has been built, but..."

"Just what?" Liu Bian asked, calmly ignoring everyone's strange looks and Yuan Shu's slightly guilty look - the Nanpi Academy matter should have been left to Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu lacked confidence and actually let Zhuge Xuan intervene. Well... Fortunately, Zhuge Xuan was the county magistrate appointed by Yuan Shu.

"It's just that the books... are still missing." Zhuge Xuan replied.

"Books?" Liu Bian sighed, finally feeling worried.

Can you not worry? ——If you want a lot of books, you can either go back to Luoyang and copy your father's "Taixue Stone Classic" for cheap, or you can go to Beihai and study under Master Zheng Xuan. I believe there should be a lot of books at Beihai Academy?
In his ears, he also heard Zhuge Xuan say: "Your Highness, whether there are books in Nanpi Academy is not a top priority..."

"What?" Liu Bian was stunned for a moment.

Zhuge Xuandao: "The top priority is... not many people from Nanpi County signed up!"

"What!" Liu Bian blurted out, "No one signed up?"

"Yes, no one signed up." Zhuge Xuan sighed.

"Do you know why?"

Zhuge Xuandao: "Your Highness, it is said that everyone thinks that it doesn't matter whether you go to school or not..."

Holding his forehead, Liu Bian said: "I understand. I have decided to sign up for Nanpi Academy!"

Liu Bian burst into tears: Ah!After going around and around, I still can't get around the hurdle of going to college?

"Your Highness?" At this time, all the officials looked sideways and looked at Liu Bian in shock.

"I have decided to go to Nanpi Academy to attend classes." Liu Bian announced lightly, "——Mr. Shi! Find a few eloquent people to spread a rumor on my behalf, saying that I have signed up for Nanpi Academy and want to go to Nanpi. Studying in Pi Academy..."

Shi Yue responded: "Yes! I will take care of it later."

Liu Bian nodded, faced everyone, and said, "The most important thing this year is education and training talents! I want to rely on Nanpi Academy to quickly cultivate talents within three months. I don't know if everyone supports me. no?"

Everyone: "..."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After a while, Cao Cao calmed down and said first: "This is a very good move! Lord, I have a son who I am willing to send to Nanpi Academy to study. If he can learn the skills, it will be a blessing to the child!"

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows, and said: "Your Highness, I have two sons at the beginning, and I would like to send them to Nanpi Academy, so I can only support Nanpi Academy! If I can graduate from the academy, I believe it will be helpful!"

With Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's statements, all the officials were enlightened and understood, and they said to each other: "Your Highness, although I have no children, I have relatives! My relatives have children, and they are willing to study at Nanpi Academy!"

"Your Highness, if the academy lacks students, I will persuade the neighbors to let their children go to Nanpi Academy!"

"Your Highness, does Nanpi Academy only recruit boys? Does Nanpi Academy recruit girls?"

"Your Highness, when will classes at Nanpi Academy start? I can make preparations in advance!"

... Bah bah bah, everyone responded to the call with great enthusiasm, which made Liu Bian dumbfounded.

"——Your Highness!" Zhuge Xuan also said, "Although I have few children, I have three nephews who are almost at the age of studying, so they all were sent to Nanpi Academy. I wonder how the academy can teach people?...Three nephews Do students of very different ages have to take the same courses?”

In the midst of his busy schedule, Liu Bian tapped the table and answered one by one: "Everyone! Nanpi Academy not only recruits male students, but also female students, as long as female students dare to come!

In addition, students should also be divided into several grades: the minimum age must not be less than six years old, and the maximum age is not limited!Children aged six to 12 years old learn "Three Character Classic", focusing on literacy; those aged 12 to 16 years old learn "Six Arts Strategy", "Zhuzi Strategy", "Poetry Strategy", "Military Strategy" and "Shu Shu" ; Those aged 16 and above must take "Fang Skills" as an elective in addition to the first five courses!Graduation is only allowed after that, but exams are required!If you fail the exam, you can participate in the annual make-up exam. There is no limit to the number of make-up exams...

However, this is not the point right now!The point is: many people in Nanpi County are illiterate, so we can start by teaching them literacy!
Do you agree that there is no age limit for students in the current recruitment? ——Children are welcome to attend classes; elderly people who want to come to study are welcome too!Including women!I want to imitate Confucius and practice "education without distinction", is that okay? "

"Yes!" everyone replied, except Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu said loudly: "No!"

"What did you say?" Zhang Fei, who was hostile to Yuan Shu, glared at Yuan Shu unhappily.

Yuan Shu flicked his sleeves, rarely glaring at Zhang Fei, but said: "Your Highness, no matter how fast three months is, it is impossible to teach mediocre people into talents! If Your Highness wants to see results quickly, he should classify the students as being from noble families - the nobles themselves Learn to read at an early age, and ordinary people let alone know how to read, they are simply stubborn stones, not worth cultivating!"

"You...what are you talking nonsense about?" Zhang Fei was dissatisfied and retorted loudly, "I am not from a noble family, but I am literate. Why am I such a stubborn person?"

"What? What do you mean: As long as you go to the academy to study, you can become a talent?" Yuan Shu looked Zhang Fei up and down with disgust on his face.

"You——" Zhang Fei was furious.

To be honest, Zhang Fei doesn't like studying, so he is not considered a talent, but it is not impossible to really go to the academy to study and become a talent... However, can one become a talent and what kind of talent can he become, such as the talents recognized by the common world? , that would not be what Zhang Fei would like.

It's a pity that the twists and turns involved are far beyond what Zhang Fei can understand in just a few words... Therefore, Zhang Fei opened his mouth and wanted to scold Yuan Shu, but he was speechless and could only blush with anxiety. He looked at his second brother again and again.

It just so happens that my second brother really hates Confucian scholars.

Guan Yu took a step forward and blocked Yuan Shu with his tall body, causing huge visual pressure on Yuan Shu.Guan Yu stroked his beard and asked, "Does it mean that if you study in an academy, you can become a talent?"

"Is that necessary?" Yuan Shu squinted at Guan Yu, but silently took a step back.

Guan Yu said again: "Guan Mou, Mr. Yuan Shu, has not been to the academy? - Then, does Mr. Yuan Shu not have a talent?"

Yuan Shu: "..."

Now, it was Yuan Shu's turn to blush.

Zhang Fei laughed loudly and said: "Yes, yes, second brother is right! I am not a talent. Mr. Yuan, you have not been to the academy, and you are not a talent either... You are just like me, you have What’s so proud of?”

Zhang Fei laughed, showing no intention of being a colleague at all.

"You!" Yuan Shu glared.

Liu Bei smoothed things over and scolded helplessly: "Third brother!"

Zhang Fei curled his lips, turned away, and obediently ignored Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was annoyed.
