Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 717 Liu Xie's Transformation (1)

Entering Xuzhou, Liu Xie didn't feel the response. Cui Jun, the governor, led Xuzhou officials to welcome Liu Xie into the city. The officials went about their own affairs, and only Cui Jun accompanied him throughout the process.According to Cui Jun, government affairs are really busy, and he dare not delay a little.

Liu Xie noticed that many vehicles dodged to make way for him. Cui Jun told him that these were goods delivered by merchants, and it happened every day.In Xuzhou, commerce is far better than farming, and the agricultural tax has been reduced to [-] tax one.

Zhou Cang's old Liao Gongfu was used as the residence where Liu Xie stayed.This was originally Tao Qian's mansion, Zhou Cang just made some necessary repairs, Liu Xie wondered, is Zhou Cang so thrifty?During the dinner, the officials got together again. Liu Xie found that this was different from Xudu. The officials seldom talked about romance and poetry, but more about government affairs and people's sentiments.Unlike Xu Du's officialdom, there is no complaining and complaining, only finding ways to solve problems.

The officials did not sing praises to themselves, but mostly introduced the customs of Xuzhou.And Liu Xie found that, except for a few people such as Cui Jun, these officials were rarely of official or gentry origin, and most of them came from the same place: the academy.Therefore, Liu Xie decided that his next stop would be to visit the academy.

At the Hall of Valor, Zhou Fu introduced everyone's deeds to Liu Xie. Liu Xie was surprised to find that there were scholars, scholars, doctors and scholars. It can be used in the community or benefit the common people, and there is no ranking, only the time of death.

Dian Wei, Hua Xiong, Chen Deng, and Zhao Yu, Liu Xie knew all of these a long time ago, and Liu Xie sighed: "These are all loyal ministers and martyrs of my great man." Jiang Qian widely publicized that the emperor personally mourned the heroes in the Hall of the Martyrs, and praised the loyal ministers and martyrs of the great Han.Make a note in the record book of the Hall of Martyrs: On August 28, [-] in the Han Dynasty, the emperor offered sacrifices to the souls of heroes and martyrs.

The scale of the dinner that day was much smaller, with only Cui Jun, Zhou Xin, Jiang Gan, and Guan Ning accompanying them.Once again beyond Liu Xie's expectations, no one told him about landscapes and scenic spots. Cui Jun only introduced the development of Xuzhou, while Guan Ning introduced the construction of the college.

The next day's itinerary was the college. At this time, Huaxia College had been renamed Dahan College.Liu Xie smiled and asked Guan Ning why the couplet at the door only had the upper couplet and not the lower couplet. Guan Ning said with a smile: "This was established by the Duke of Fu at the beginning of the academy. If you are afraid of death, don't enter this door, in the martial arts academy."

Civil officials are not greedy for money, and generals are not afraid of death.Liu Xie nodded: "Well said!"

The teachers and students in the college are uniformly dressed, very tidy.When they saw Liu Xie, they knew he was the emperor, and they all bowed and saluted and then stepped aside, neither whispering nor watching.

In the morning, I visited various science halls, and there were lectures on literature, business, law, architecture, water conservancy, and medicine. Liu Xie was very puzzled that so many difficult-to-be elegant subjects were the focus of the college. Jiang Gan Taking the opportunity to say: "Fu Guogong said that all that is beneficial to the national economy and the people's livelihood is knowledge."

Liu Xie sighed softly: "Zhou Qing puts the people first in everything, why don't the big man worry about the long-term future?"

In the last school, they were speaking words that no one could understand.Guan Ning explained that this is Dashihua. Zhou Cang opened a new subject called foreign language in the college. He said that in the future, the Han people will inevitably communicate with foreign countries. Only by mastering the language can they communicate smoothly. At present, it is mainly Dashiyu and Xianbei.The lecturers are naturally the two big cannibals introduced with Cotton.

Jiang Gan chuckled: "Your Majesty, it is only because Dongyi and Wa Kingdoms have been destroyed and become the territory of our Han Dynasty, and their people have been Sinicized, so there is no need for these two countries to learn languages."

Ok?Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, and his mind was full of thoughts, one day my big man will sweep all the barbarians, wouldn't they all be Han soil?
Lunch was arranged in the large cafeteria of the college, accompanied by representatives of teachers and students from various subjects.Liu Xie was surprised to find that instead of being superior, he showed the respect of teachers and students for him, and it was more conducive for him to hear the voices of the common people.Compared with the emperor's meal, the college's lunch is very low-grade, but it is still rich, with fish and meat. I heard that it is provided to students for free, so Liu Xie doesn't have to worry about paying taxes on his own property. The money is spent in places.

Teachers and students inevitably had to introduce themselves, and Liu Xie was surprised again. Some of these students were from officials, some were in the army, some were petty officials, some were merchants, and some were farmers.People from different walks of life gather together without any sense of disobedience, and they are very harmonious with each other.

Seeing Liu Xie's doubts, Jiang Gan said: "Scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce are all one, and there is no distinction between high and low status. They are all my fellow citizens, and everyone is equal."

Guan Ning continued: "What Jiang Shangshu said is true. No matter where you come from, no matter what your family is, you have only one identity as a student since you entered the academy. people respect."

"Then you are successful in your studies, so where do you go?" Liu Xie asked.

Student A replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, every year, the ministries, divisions, prefectures and counties will announce the officials they need to recruit and the conditions for their appointment. We can choose to take the exam according to our own strengths. You can start from a small official."

Student B replied: "Even if you don't pass, banks, chambers of commerce, colleges, etc. will recruit people, which is also a good place."

Student C said: "There are also merchants and factories..."

Guan Ning said: "There is a lot of waste to be done now, there is a shortage of talents with special skills everywhere, and the supply of students in the college is in short supply."

Liu Xie understood that the academy is a place for Zhou Cang to cultivate talents, and officials are selected from the best of the academy for use. No wonder there is no need for hereditary inheritance or recommendation.The officials selected by this method must be capable ministers and officials, not the generation of corpses and ordinary people. How can I worry about myself as the emperor.

In the afternoon, Liu Xie visited various laboratories and gained a deeper understanding of his skills.Guan Ning also prepared a special event for Liu Xie: awarding scholarships to students with excellent character and learning.The emperor presented the award in person, and the students were overjoyed. They probably can tell their grandson when they are old.Liu Xie Longyan was very happy. It turned out that he, the emperor, was not just doing nothing, and there were many places to show his face.

The scholarship was issued in silver coins with the inscription 2000 of the Han Dynasty on it, which made Liu Xie have a strong interest in the bank again.Therefore, on the third day, Liu Xie went to the bank and the bank again, and only then did he know that Zhang Lu had also opened an account in the bank for himself, with a deposit of [-] silver dollars in it, which could generate [-] yuan of interest every year.

On the fourth day, Liu Xie went to the Chamber of Commerce and visited several workshops, and on the fifth day, he listened to the Xuzhou Forum for a whole day.There are novelties everywhere, and Liu Xie understands that the so-called busy schedule is not an excuse, but really busy.
