Extraordinary daily life starting from evil spirits

After Tang Tian knew this person's name, he brought him to Pingyuan.After all, he has been in contact with his sister for a long time, and he also knows what kind of talents Qingzhou needs now.

Who is this person?Zuo Ziyi... is called Zuo Bo.At the mention of this name, Zhiyuan thought about it carefully in her head, but she didn't have much impression.

And at this time Tang Tian said to Zhi Yuan: "This Zuo Bo can make paper."

Zhiyuan reacted immediately, Zuo Bozhi!

This is really a talent, a real talent.Now this Zuebo is only 23 or [-] years old, but he has already improved Cai Houzhi.The Han Dynasty did have paper, and it was invented by the eunuch Cai Lun.

But the paper invented by Cai Lun is not very suitable for writing.Because the plant fibers cannot be laid out completely in the paper, instead it is uneven on a piece of paper, which is not very suitable for writing.

Speaking of which, Zhiyuan usually uses the Caihou paper to wipe her butt, and she also dislikes the hard... and she also drops some fibers that are not too strong.

And it is Zuobo who improved Cai Lun paper.The so-called: the paper of Ziyi, beautiful and wonderful.It is the evaluation of Saeki in the history books of later generations, and the paper made by Saeki really makes writing easier.

This Zueki has actually produced some in the past few years, but because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the technology tree that Zuoki developed good paper was completely interrupted.Moreover, Donglai County, where he lived, was controlled by a group of bandits. Zuo Bo was so scared that he had no time to improve paper.

But now Tang Tian rescued him, so Zuo Bo directly joined the Qingzhou camp.But paper kites are more generous.....Send them to the back of Erlong Mountain, and give them all if you ask for money. You first improve the paper in the real sense for me, and then talk about other things.

Chapter 230 Three: The plan before going north

Only with paper can we engage in printing, especially movable type printing.And with volumes of books, the gentry's monopoly on knowledge can be broken.

And only after popularizing education, can this group of people truly understand their own thoughts.Otherwise, how could it be possible to enter the next era with a group of civilians who can't even eat enough?

We must know that when the TG of later generations was fighting against Japan, they also popularized knowledge while fighting.Only when one truly understands why to fight, why to fight, and why to create a truly oppressive society, only in this way can everyone willingly gather in this thought.

Oppression is always there, but only by knowing how to oppose oppression can one change one's destiny.Only constant song titles (not a typo, I don’t want to type those two words), and the removal of those bureaucrats who are attached to the country can make the country continue to thrive.

In any case, education is the top priority.This is also one of the reasons why Zhiyuan immediately planned to build a school when she came back last time, and now that she has paper, she can better transfer knowledge to the common people.

Well... Speaking of which, Zhiyuan also has a bit of a headache, because she has long forgotten those things when she was a child. Although her memory has improved a lot after practicing Taoism, but for the things that gave her headaches back then (mathematics), I always subconsciously reject them.Of course, even if it is a simple thing, it is enough for people in this world.

The multiplication formula is still clear, this thing is very convenient for keeping accounts.Then there is the abacus...the Han Dynasty did not have the abacus, and this thing did not even exist in the Tang Dynasty. It was invented in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Of course, there are some abacus (bacus) similar to the abacus... and there are rumors that it was invented by Guan Erye later.Zhiyuan looked at Guan Yu who was rectifying the army and carrying goods down there not far away, and then the corners of her mouth twitched.

"This kind of trivial matter, I'll do it myself... and I can do it in one step, just make abacus directly." Zhi Yuan used a pen again, and wrote out what she had to do on the bamboo slips.

For example, a kind of paper, printing, abacus, horseshoe, saddle, coal mining, sea salt and so on.Well... the coal mine, except that there are coal mines in Shandong, I don't know where it is at all... Another thing is shipbuilding, because Zhiyuan decides where to go to Liaodong this time.Although it is not necessary to kill the remaining people of Wuhuan, or the Fuyu tribe further north.

But at least Zhiyuan intends to solve Goguryeo, and there is also the problem of Samhan.The first purpose of shipbuilding is to attack, and the second is to open up economic exchanges with Liaodong from the sea.And in order to transport slaves to Qingzhou in the future, the route was prepared in advance.

Generally speaking, there are still many troublesome things, and Zhiyuan plans to meet the Qingzhou Army in person.Now that Zhiyuan has already managed to control Qingzhou, it must not be destroyed again.

So now there is only one troublesome thing left in Qingzhou, and that is the Qingzhou Army.Although part of the Qingzhou Army has already gone to Youzhou under the leadership of Zhang Baiqi, there are still at least 15 people.

And these 15 people...most of them are young and strong, so to be honest... there are still so many people left in the mountains, and Guan Hai is really awesome.But Zhiyuan has decided to solve this problem, which is the last hidden danger in Qingzhou.

But to solve this problem, a lot of food and grass are still needed.Zhiyuan sighed, how to solve it? ? ?Keep asking for help.Zhi Yuan had no choice but to write another letter to Yuan Shu.

Anyway, there is nothing you can do about paper kites, even if you make yourself poor...the rich eat the big family and don't take it for nothing.But what was sent to Yuan Shu immediately was the military training method that Zhi Yuan had researched by himself.

Although Zhi Yuan once taught Yuan Shu's subordinates, but after all, the time was not long.Once Yuan Shu had a violent army, he would definitely have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and an untrained army would definitely not be able to do it.

So in exchange, Zhi Yuan told Yuan Shu the method of military training that he had researched.Of course... In fact, the real magic weapon of the kite is not this.

Zhi Yuan went to see Liu Bian first, and she dragged Xi Zhi to go there together.Liu Bian has a good relationship with Tang Tian's Tang Heng, and the two often study and practice martial arts together.By the way, take care of Xue Jian's sister who is only a few years old... and Zhi Yuan's white tiger.

Liu Bian likes this kind of life very much, and no one knows Liu Bian's identity, so whether he is listening to Ruan Yuanyu's class or practicing martial arts with a group of children, Liu Bian is very happy.

Moreover, Liu Bian came from the royal family after all, so he is very intelligent.So now he is considered a king of kids. Although he is not young anymore, he can play with children no matter how big they are.

Zhiyuan just let him do what he wants, and it seems that Zhiyuan can give Liu Bian such a life, which is not a good thing.So after chatting with Liu Bian again, Zhi Yuan found another person who served and took care of Liu Bian here, Bi Lan, one of the ten permanent attendants.

"Brother Bi, how is life here?" Zhi Yuan smiled at Bi Lan.

Bi Lan sighed: "Princess, tell me... what's the matter. Since I live in Qingzhou now, I'm naturally a worker for your Tang family, so don't beat around the bush."

Zhiyuan made a helpless expression: "Okay, then I'll tell you, Brother Bi, you can read, so I really hope you do one thing."

"I hope to set up a team. Everyone in these teams must be literate, let them enter the army, and take responsibility for the daily life of soldiers in the army in units of hundreds of people."

"Because of the perennial wars, or leaving their hometown, some people are needed to help those soldiers enlighten them. And also teach those soldiers literacy, of course, without affecting the training."

"Because the world is in chaos now, future wars will definitely not be limited to one county and one state. I hope that these people that Brother Bi can cultivate can boost morale in the military camp and solve some problems that the generals did not think of."

"These people generally don't participate in battles on weekdays, but they must also obey the orders of the generals, and their positions are mainly deputy commanders."

"During the battle, we are responsible for recording the battle situation at that time, as well as the command information of the generals, and finally sum it up. In this way, no matter whether a battle is won or lost, we will have people who record the battle. If we win, we will find some loopholes. Fail to find our own problems."

"This way, you can make progress..."

Bi Lan thought for a while: "What the princess said can be regarded as an army supervisor?"

Zhi Yuan nodded: "But they have more responsibilities than supervising the army, and these people can't directly intervene in the army, they don't have the right to command the army. Of course...if under special circumstances, such as a school lieutenant or some junior officers If they are killed in battle, these people can also perform their duties in their place.”

After Zhiyuan finished speaking, he asked someone to bring dozens of bamboo slips, all of which were straightened out by Zhiyuan, and asked Bi Lan to look at them.It is naturally the set of ideological education that the later generations of TG did in the guerrillas. Although it looks a little strange, it is quite useful.

Bi Lan looked at it carefully for more than an hour, then nodded with a serious expression: "I understand what the princess means, it seems that this position is indeed very important. I can give it a try..."

Zhi Yuan smiled: "Okay, I believe that Brother Bi has the ability."

"I plan to subdue the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. Brother Bi will try to train hundreds of people in a few months, and then he will be directly transferred to the grassroots deputies. And if Brother Bi has any problems, or what happens in the future, you can report to him. Xizhi will report."

"I'll leave this important matter to you and brother Xi Zhicai."

Chapter 230 Four: A Way Out for the Qingzhou Army

The espionage work was handed over to Jia Huhu, and the political education work was naturally handed over to Xi Zhicai.Neither of the two should be idle, anyway, they have arranged their own subordinates for them, and when the time comes, they will be organized by themselves, and it will be very easy to manage.

And the daily performance of those generals is naturally the most important item for promotion in the future.Zhiyuan must ensure that her team completely obeys her orders. After all, in the army, there is absolutely no place for a speck of sand.

Then there are some scattered things. Although Zhiyuan is anxious to go north, the fundamental matters in Qingzhou must be dealt with as soon as possible.Of course... most of the things, isn't there his brother?

Zhiyuan is a designer, so she can't handle every little thing by herself.All the other subordinates were in charge of the rest, so Zhiyuan also felt relaxed.

easy?

Zhiyuan sighed and rode a horse to a group of mountains. This is the base camp of Guan Hai, which is also the current location of the Qingzhou Army of the Yellow Turban Army.

There are already people waiting for Zhi Yuan, and Zhi Yuan is only accompanied by Pei Yuanshao.Well... just these two people came in, they were indeed very powerful, at least those Yellow Turban soldiers looked at Zhiyuan with admiration.

There are not many Zhiyuan people, about 3000 people.These people are all going to Xiangping, half of the recruits and half of the veterans are infantry.

The Goguryeo people live in the mountains and don't have too many horses at all, so when they fight, most of them are attacking the city.Even if Goguryeo had cavalry, didn't Yan Rou's army in Xiangping also have a lot of cavalry?Enough is enough...

So Zhi Yuan took 3000 people and left them in a camp not far away, and came to meet Guan Hai with Pei Yuanshao.

According to Zhiyuan's meaning, it is enough for two people to go, and it is not for fighting.The opponent has more than 200 Yellow Turbans, and there is no difference between going to two people and going to [-] or [-], and if there are too many people, the opponent will underestimate themselves.

So now it seems that the effect is good, including Guan Hai who came down the mountain to greet him with a confused face. "Girl, it's been a long time, why are there only two people here?" Guan Hai looked back, and there were really two people.

Zhi Yuan chuckled: "Indeed, there are only two people. We are here to talk about things. Two people are enough. After all...the world is getting more and more chaotic now, so I can only come here to talk about things in person."

"Haha, how courageous! You woman has always been very courageous, and you actually convinced us back in Pingyuan, and now I want to hear what else you can say." Guan Hai didn't care, and directly brought Zhiyuan in. .

The clothes of the Yellow Turban soldiers around were a little ragged, and some people plowed a piece of land further inside. Although it was a mountainous area, they also found some flat places to plant something.

The surrounding trees had been cut down a long time ago, and they were used to build camps and some protection.There can be a large area in the entire mountains, where they live, and you can see wooden houses whenever you walk by.

But the main impression given to Zhi Yuan was that they still didn't have enough to eat.There are too many people... Zhiyuan guessed that the beasts in the area would have been eaten up long ago, and his brother Tang Tian had to send some food over every winter, otherwise there would be even more staff cuts every year.

Pei Yuanshao even vaguely saw the woods in the distance, where there are woods... a lot of bark has been peeled off, leaving only the white torso.In some other places, a few Yellow Turban soldiers found a mouse from nowhere, and then they couldn't stop laughing.

Even if it's like this...the number of Qingzhou Army has changed from more than 20 to less than 15, and people are dying basically every day...although the speed is not very fast.

Pei Yuanshao sighed, to be honest, he admired Zhiyuan more and more.If it wasn't for his young master, even if he didn't die at that time, the best situation would be Guan Hai.

What kind of day is this?Especially after knowing the situation in the plain, let's compare... Qingzhou is within the control of the Tang family, so there is no starvation to death, although the food may not be very good.

But it’s not good to eat...won’t you eat tree bark and ask mice to dig wild vegetables?

In a large camp on a hill, several people stopped.Guan Hai ordered people to prepare some food and drink, and then the two parties sat down.

Zhiyuan found that there were a lot of fruits, so she picked up a fruit that was somewhat similar to an apple. "I said, have you ever grown these things? Or wild red nai (the ancient name of Chinese apples is Nai)?"

Guan Hai froze for a moment, he didn't know why Zhiyuan asked such a question suddenly. "We grow it ourselves, and now we wrap it in straw in winter, and only take it out when we eat it."

Zhiyuan nodded: "After that, you will follow me, and you can plant on a large scale. Nai can still be stored for a period of time, and you can take it to the boat when you go to sea in the future."

"It would be great if it could be made into cans, but it's a pity that we don't have this technology now." Zhiyuan took a bite, not to mention it was quite sweet.Although it is not a modern apple style, the taste is somewhat similar.

After a few gossips, Zhi Yuan said to Guan Hai, "Since you're here, let's get straight to the point."

"I'm here this time to recruit you, specifically, to completely eat all of you."

Guan Hai snorted and smiled: "The girl is already so rich?" Guan Hai also had some high-ranking Yellow Turban soldiers around him, and they looked at Zhi Yuan with various thoughts.

To be honest... Tang Tian did a really good job. This group of Yellow Turbans didn't stay in the mountains all the time, so they naturally knew the prosperity of Qingzhou now.

But just relying on a woman like this, there must be more benefits, right?Although they themselves don't want to live this kind of hard life in the deep mountains and old forests, they still have to sell them for a good price.

Zhiyuan smiled: "Time waits for no one. I said at the foot of the mountain that the world is in chaos now, and there is really no time to spend the extra food, grass and money on you."

"I have prepared two plans, can you listen to them?"

"First of all...you are estimated to have 15 people now, Qingzhou must be difficult to support you. You must know that in order to recruit you, I borrowed a lot of food from Yuan's family. My sacrifice is very big."

"So you need to separate some people and go to Liaodong with me...there is a lot of land and few people are suitable for farming. The only problem is that foreigners are troublesome, and this time I went here to solve this problem."

"All the rest will be arranged in various counties and counties in disorder. Those who want to continue fighting can join us as recruits and train again. If you don't want to fight, I will also arrange land for you to cultivate, and guarantee that you will not collect any taxes in the first year."

"As for you little bosses, if you want to continue fighting, you must first learn. Otherwise, you can go back to farming honestly, or become little bosses who maintain local law and order. You can choose for yourself."

After saying this, Guan Hai was stunned for a moment: "Study first? What to learn?"

Zhiyuan chuckled: "Learning...to be a job under my command, even a centurion, you must be able to read...literacy is a must."

"If you don't want to be an official, you should farm the land honestly. If you want to be an official, you must study. Do you understand what I mean?"

After saying this, everyone was stunned.

Chapter 230 Five: A Way Out for the Qingzhou Army

Education and reading is something that anyone with a little brain will not refuse.

why?

Because in this day and age, no one will teach you at all.The masters are all handed over to the children of the gentry, no matter how bad they are, they are still poor.You are a pariah who doesn't even have a complete name, who can accept you as an apprentice.

Is it embarrassing?

Moreover, books are handed down from generation to generation, and it would be laborious to borrow a few books even from poor families. Who can give them to ordinary people to appreciate?

But all civilians know that if you want to be an official, you must be literate. This is a class dividing line.Only when the common people have money and can read and write can they be considered out of the common people's class.

After Zhiyuan said these words, many people's minds became active immediately.An older leader even asked, "I'm old, can I let my son study?"

Zhiyuan glanced at it, then shook her head: "No..."

The man was a little disappointed, and then muttered: "It's good to learn by yourself."

However, Zhi Yuan followed up with the next sentence: "Everyone learns different things. If you are a small officer, you should not only learn how to read, but also learn how to organize armaments or use simple formations." .”

"And you must pass the exam before you can return to the position of officer. Otherwise, you can only start working as a soldier again. There will be no preferential treatment for this treatment."

"And if you have children, you can entrust them to Pingyuan. I have established several schools in Pingyuan, and specially hand them over to some children who can read and write, so they can learn more."

"The school will gradually expand from the plains to all parts of Qingzhou. Of course, this depends on our financial resources. After all, the initial investment will definitely be huge."

"And I came this time...brought more than 200 people. These people all know at least [-] to [-] characters, and they will accompany us into Youzhou. On the way, they will also teach you how to read. , if you behave well and learn quickly, you can also be a low-level officer.”

After Zhi Yuan finished speaking, everyone including Guan Hai was stunned.

And Zhiyuan also explained to them: "You are considered the old men of the Yellow Turban Army. Why did General Tiangong fail in his rebellion?"

"Because apart from Zhang Jiao and his younger brother who have read books and know how to fight, none of you can fight. To put it bluntly, you don't know how to fight..."

"And those officers and soldiers who encircle and suppress you are led by top gentry. They can use tactics and training methods every time to defeat you mob. I have told you how to train troops, but what is the result?"

"Even the soldiers at the bottom don't even have a basic sense of combat. When they see others rushing up, they rush up, and when they see others running, they follow. Can this win the officers and soldiers?"

"You have to learn, not only for officials and generals, but also for ordinary soldiers. This is what I can promise you, but I will never reuse some bastards."

"So I also gave some people who don't want to fight another way out. That is to farm...Qingzhou has fertile land, and many places can be reclaimed. In my Qingzhou, regardless of gender, all men and women can be allocated [-] acres of land when they grow up. "
