Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 154 The Development Plan of Guangling (1)

"Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about our future plans. After Cao Cao welcomes back to the emperor, he must be eager to expand, and he dare not make big moves under the pressure of Yuan Shao. With his talent and the resourcefulness of his subordinates, he should be able to think of taking the first place. Therefore, Wancheng has no worries, Guanzhong has no leader, and he will manage Guanzhong. Now we are only facing Yuan Shu and Liu Bei."

Zhou Wen admired Zhou Cang's strategy more and more, with a calm mind and a strong view of the overall situation. "Hahaha, fortunately, my lord learned that my subordinates met Zhang Jiong in secret." Having said that, Zhou Wen was taken aback suddenly. Zhou Cang's subordinates were really hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and Zhang Jiong was not simple. "My subordinates and Zhang Jiong have already made plans. Yuan Shu will conquer Liu Bei, and we can take this opportunity to win Xuzhou."

"Hey, even if Yuan Shu conquers Liu Bei, we won't be able to get Xuzhou. Don't forget about Lu Bu. Now is not the time to have a conflict with Lu Bu. Yuan Fang, do you think Lu Bu's heart is for the Han Dynasty?"

"This? This subordinate can't tell. Lu Bu's temperament is unpredictable, but his subordinates feel that although Lu Bu has ambitions, he is by no means a rebellious person. It's just that after so many failures and blows, it's hard to think what he thinks now." Unpredictable. Does the lord think that Cao Cao’s heart is not for the Han family?” Zhou Wen suddenly thought that Zhou Cang had always been optimistic about Cao Cao?

"I always thought that Cao Cao was a minister of ZTE. Unfortunately, I only recently figured it out. After Cao Cao returned to the emperor, the authority of the emperor was lost. Cao Cao's decision of the court is all based on Cao Cao's words. Even if Cao Cao has no intention of usurping the throne, the world will be settled At that time, if his subordinates try their best to persuade them, they will not be able to know the yellow robe." Zhou Cang finally felt the horror of lies, and if he wanted to make a lie, he had to keep using new lies to maintain it. "Just like you, don't you always hope that I can compete in the world?"

"My lord thinks Cao Cao will become emperor?"

"He didn't have this idea. After our conversation, he probably won't in the future, but after being an extremely human minister, he will be involuntary, not to mention that there is only one Cao Cao in the world. Unless Cao Cao doesn't pass his position to his son , Hehe, you and I know that's impossible."

"Then in the Lord's opinion?" Zhou Wen didn't ask Zhou Cang why he didn't like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, because he didn't like these two brothers either. It's too early to discuss the issue of becoming emperor. "When will we take Xuzhou?"

"We might as well sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and make a profit from it. Even if Lu Bu takes Xuzhou, after Cao Cao stabilizes Guanzhong, the spearhead will definitely be directed at Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, and we can take Huainan or Xuzhou again by taking the opportunity."

Zhou Wen asked puzzledly: "Isn't my lord afraid that Cao Cao will use troops against my lord?"

"Hahaha, there is no need to worry too much about it. I have already made an appointment with Cao Cao. I can attach myself to him and only take the land of one state." Zhou Cang said with a smile.

Zhou Wen wondered, when did Zhou Cang make an appointment with Cao Cao, and how did Cao Cao agree to such a vague agreement.

"We are now developing Guangling with peace of mind. In less than three years or two years, we will use Guangling as a model to implement the New Deal in Xuzhou. Another reason why Xuzhou is not chosen now is that the local gentry in Xuzhou is deeply rooted and it is difficult to implement the New Deal. If it is carried out forcefully, it will definitely plunge us into a quagmire. The competition between various people and horses is almost over, and these gentry will lose their confidence, and they will even be uprooted. At that time, it will be our turn to appear."

"Now that there is enough food and grass, we still can't slack off in farming. We can control the salt road and have no worries about money. When Tao Qian was alive, he built a pagoda and absorbed many refugees. Hahaha, Guangling is exactly where we can use it. Ju Xiaolian and Jianmao I am no longer used to that, I want to set up a school in Guangling, recruit school-age teenagers to study in the school, exempt from money and food, or select officials from the school after three or five years of study."

"But my lord, we lack scholars with great learning, no one to teach?" Zhou Wen was puzzled.

"This is what I want to tell you. What do we need so many people with great learning? As long as they can read and write, the most urgent thing for us now is not to study knowledge, but to find and use everyone's skills." Zhou Cang raised the cup in his hand and said, "Did Yuan Fang ever think that making pottery, burning magnets, and brewing wine also have university knowledge? I plan to set up six subjects in each school: etiquette, law, engineering, agriculture, medicine, and mathematics. In addition Every year, there will be a martial arts competition, and those who have strengths in bow horses, weapons, and military skills can participate in the competition, and the winners can join the army as generals."

"My lord's whimsical ideas are beyond Yuan Fang's reach." Zhou Wen was filled with emotion, "Now that there is a shortage of manpower, whether to set up county schools and state schools separately, county schools only offer two or three subjects, and county schools can complement each other, and state schools have six subjects ?”

"Exactly. There are too many recruits, so we can't use so many officials. If we recruit more people in the future, we will only select excellent ones as officials." Zhou Cang nodded.

"It's possible that there will be more and more people in the future, how to arrange them?"

"Hehe, it is a good thing that there are more talented people. There will be many places to employ people in the future. What I am worried about now is that everyone is going to study etiquette and underestimate engineering, agriculture and medicine. They don't know that these are related to people's livelihood. How about this, in addition to exempting money and food, we will add scholarships, whoever makes contributions in forging, water control, improving seeds, farm tools, and prescriptions, etc., will be rewarded, regardless of background, only in terms of contribution." Zhou Cang racked his brains to think Various measures, there is no way, there is too little talent, and the masters are among the people.

"Now we can't find manpower, so you, Zhou Chong, and Zhou Xi will plan the affairs of the academy. If you need anything, just ask me. The missing professors can be selected from the people, and the salary will be paid according to the county magistrate's standard. The martial arts competition will be held. Leave it to Zhang Jaw and the others." After Zhou Cang explained, he was going to be the hands-off shopkeeper. "That's the general strategy. How to operate it all depends on Yuan Fang."

Three black lines appeared on Zhou Wen's forehead, and he was good at plotting and plotting. These meticulous tasks were really beyond his ability, so he reluctantly said, "Yuan Fang will definitely do her best, but once the government school is established, the lord will still have to do it." Choose another talent."

"Don't worry, it's only temporary, I can't let you go away."

Zhou Cang's subordinates are all busy. Guangling is thriving. The big gentry, the Chen family, has left. The rest are small gentry. Although they have some complaints about Zhou Cang's policies, their interests have not been violated, and they are powerless to fight , just content with the status quo, thinking about how to send the children of the family to Fuzhong.

Some students who lived in Guangling took the lead in launching the attack. They discussed and criticized the college in restaurants and restaurants.After Zhou Chong reported to Zhou Cang, he asked whether to carry out a crackdown.Zhou Cang shook his head, and asked Zhou Chong to secretly organize a group of people to debate each other. As long as the two sides don't fight, don't intervene.

The number of people must be large, and a cheerleading team must be organized for them to strengthen their prestige.
