Xiliang Iron Cavalry

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, no matter how good Liangguo's policy is, it can't stand up to so many aristocratic families.

In Jia Rong's memorial to Tian Feng, he only approved a very simple sentence, "Do it cheaply."

Yizhou was pacified, but Jia Rong did not stop there. Capturing Jiaozhou was also the top priority. At this time, Cao Cao only had Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou in his hands. In terms of strength, Liangguo had pulled him out by more than two years. There is no reason to give up Jiaozhou, and now there is a land of abundance like Yizhou in his hands.

He left Guo Si in Yizhou, led [-] soldiers and horses, and with Yizhou as the backing, prepared to pacify Jiaozhou in one fell swoop. Jia Rong also returned to Luoyang. When he was king, this point was not highlighted. Now that he is the king of a country, Jia Rong needs to approve many important events. The responsibility of the three provinces is increasing, which arouses the resentment of some officials in the court. The documents issued by the royal family are now issued by them and urged to be implemented. The officials naturally have some resistance in their hearts, but due to the system in the officialdom, it is difficult to speak clearly. After Jia Rong heard about this, he just smiled and said nothing. Getting used to it doesn't mean you can't get used to it in the future. The system of three provinces and six departments has greatly weakened the influence of the aristocratic family in the court.

In the following year, Liangguo issued an imperial decree to go to various places. Every autumn, scientific examinations will be held to select talented people to serve the country. Elections, not the recommendation system, as long as they are talented people, they will be reused. As for the books of scientific examinations, they are also uniformly customized by the state.

Zhuge Liang returned to Jingzhou disheartened, and when he went, he swore that there were still so many soldiers and horses when he came back, and he just walked around Yizhou.

Liu Bei didn't say anything about it. After comforting Zhuge Liang with good words, he continued to carry out rectification work in Jingzhou. The strength of Liang State made Liu Bei feel a huge crisis. He abandoned his previous hatred and formed an alliance with Cao Cao. A consensus was reached to resist the Xiliang Army.

With a vast territory and strong backup, Jia Rong felt that he could fight with ease. From time to time, he practiced in Nanyang County, which made Liu Bei panic, and the appearance of cavalry in Dongjun made Cao Cao feel worried. Not bad, in short, let the two princes live in the shadow of the Xiliang army.

Zhuge Liang devoted himself to technology, and it was very effective. After the thunderbolt car was modified, its range was comparable to that of the Xiliang army's thunderbolt chariot. The most important thing is that Zhuge Liang made a continuous crossbow, which can shoot ten crossbow arrows at a time. , the power is huge, and Liu Bei was delighted to see it.

Liu Bei did not enjoy this kind of technology exclusively, but chose to cooperate with Cao Cao to obtain grain and grass materials from Cao Jun, and at the same time shared the technology of the crossbow vehicle with Cao Cao.

However, the weapon capable of blasting open the city gates of the Xiliang army has never been developed. If it can be successfully developed, Zhuge Liang is confident that he will regain control of Yizhou and regain the disadvantage on the battlefield just by relying on the soldiers and horses in his hands. , The importance of a weapon is so important when two parties are fighting.

The scientific examination has stimulated the people of the world to a certain extent. Naturally, the common people do not want their children to work all day without any reputation. Being an official is the most direct way for the common people to honor their family. People rarely appeared, mainly because they thought at that time that instead of sending their children to school to read and write, it would be more realistic to go to the streets to do some work.

Scientific research is a method that can make a penniless person quickly become famous. There are countless talented people in the world, but very few are really willing to become an official. There are intrigues in the officialdom, and it is difficult to move without a network of connections. Liangguo is just emerging In Guo Jia, everything is in a state of waste and everything is new. The officials here are full of enthusiasm and have not been corrupted for the time being. However, they can be shortlisted for the court after passing the scientific examination, which greatly stimulates the people of the world.

Cao Cao's recruiting order seems a bit unimportant in the face of the scientific examination system. He has a broad mind and directly targets the officials' targets to the world, not as simple as the recruiting order.

Luoyang's economy has shown a prosperous situation. The capital of the great Han Dynasty, in the hands of Jia Rong, has regained its brilliance. Now the people in Luoyang only know Liangguo, but have no feeling for the Han Dynasty. Even if you discuss it after dinner, you will not attract soldiers. As long as you do not break the law, no soldiers will come to you. Freedom of speech, this is the current situation in Luoyang.

Explosives made the Xiliang army the biggest beneficiary of the attack on Yizhou and Jizhou. The sacrificed soldiers were very small, but the benefits received were huge. The land of the two states provided countless money and food every year.

Cao Jun has just come out of the shadow of the economy. With the lessons learned from last time, Cao Cao directly closed the bank. It seems that Liangguo is not all good. Some methods, if forced to learn, can only be smashed. , The previous economy was like this.

However, Cao Cao also learned from Jia Rong to openly collect taxes from merchants.

With nothing else to do, Jia Rong suddenly wanted to go for a walk in the city. After becoming a land exchange, his daily life became very organized. Although he enjoyed the benefits brought by power, it would inevitably be boring after a long time.

Changing into simple clothes, accompanied by Zhang Xiu, Jia Rong came to the school grounds in the city. Jia Rong couldn't help but stop in his tracks with his clear and sweet voice, and suddenly remembered that there were female soldiers in the army.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Zhao Yu, dressed in military uniform, saw Jia Rong coming to the school grounds accompanied by Zhang Xiu, and hurried forward to salute.

Jia Rong patted Zhao Yu's shoulder with a smile and said, "Why, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I've become unfamiliar. Let me see your soldiers."

Zhao Yu yelled, and the two thousand female soldiers quickly completed the assembly. The whole process was not inferior to the male soldiers. Just the reaction speed alone, let the soldier give a secret praise. On the battlefield, the reaction of the soldiers is especially important. .

After practicing for a while, Jia Rong nodded slightly. This female soldier is very qualified, and there have never been female soldiers on the battlefield of the big man. The move of the Xiliang Army can be said to have challenged the thinking of contemporary people.

Lone Wolf Heaven's Punishment and Assassination are the sharpest weapons in Jia Rong's hands. In order to enhance the strength of the three teams, Jia Rong directly ordered the three parties to expand their troops to 2000. In fact, the strength of Heaven's Punishment is already unfathomable. Their ability to infiltrate the official system is evident.

The following year, Guo Si came to the news that the entire Jiaozhou had been pacified.

In the palace, having fun with his family, Jia Rong suddenly felt in a trance, thinking that when he came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was a naked person, and now he has become the most noble person in the whole world. Cao Cao and Liu Bei of Jingzhou, Pingding It's just a matter of time, unless the military of the Xiliang Army makes a huge mistake.

In the second year of Kaiyuan, the emperor of Liang State pardoned the whole world, as long as the criminals who did not commit too much fault were exonerated, all the people were fully taxed.

Liangguo's voice in the whole world is getting louder and louder, especially the merchants and common people. Although they are in the land ruled by princes, they yearn for Liangguo from the bottom of their hearts.

In the autumn of the same year, a grand scientific examination was held in all the governed areas of Liangguo. The high school students will go to Luoyang, the capital, in the early spring to take another examination and selection. Jia Rong will personally write the questions in the main hall of the court.

No matter in ancient times or modern times, Jia Rong has always been unavoidable, especially in ancient times, with such a large population, even the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is impossible to control everyone's information, and writing articles is the only way out for students.

The content of the question is closely related to governing the world. It is not just a matter of money. A talented official must start with the basic county magistrate, govern the local area, and have achievements before he can truly become a talent and become a high official.

Liu Qi's sudden death from illness disrupted Liu Bei's plan. During this year's recuperation, Liu Bei has almost unified Jingzhou's soldiers and horses through his own means. With Liu Qi's trump card in his hand and Zhuge Zhuang's help, at this time Jingzhou faintly has become Liu Bei's master.

As for the Cai family, it has been completely suppressed. Although the Cai family did not expressly support them, anyone with a heart can detect that Liangguo takes care of the Cai family.

In March of the second year of Kaiyuan, it was destined to be an unforgettable day for countless scholars. Many elites from all over the world went to Luoyang, and the whole Luoyang suddenly became bustling. Students with books in their hands can be seen everywhere on the streets. A major event in Liang Country.

In order to show that he attaches great importance to the scientific examination, Jia Rong personally presided over it. This is the selection system for talents in Liangguo in the future. It will no longer select people of insight from aristocratic families. This is a huge improvement. A family, no matter how old it is Prosperity and prosperity can never be compared with the whole world, and the same is true for talents.

The grand event of Liang State also alarmed the other princes. There are not a few people who have a little ink under their rule who go to Liang State to take part in scientific examinations. The officials of Liang State did not stop this. As long as they are talented people, they can be reused.

Recently, Cao Cao felt very unhappy. The national treasury could not be enriched. After the merchants united, a large amount of money under the rule was lost. The merchants under his rule could not be integrated at all. , this point Cao Cao is also quite helpless, he pays too much attention to businessmen too late, basically famous businessmen are all in Luoyang, it is not easy to win over now.

In addition, the alliance with Liu Bei and the production method of the ballista made Cao Cao extremely excited. With such a sharp weapon, when confronting the Xiliang army, he would have a little certainty, and he would not have to be passive everywhere. On the plain, the ballista has full lethality, even the cavalry dare not easily underestimate its edge.
