Chapter 40 Don't be in a hurry
Tianshui County becoming the granary of the northwest will be the main work indicator for this region in the next few years, and even several surrounding counties will have to adjust their current work tasks based on this.
First of all, Longxi, Guangwei and other counties can appropriately slow down agriculture and focus on developing other matters, such as animal husbandry - Liu Xuan has always been thinking about this, especially considering that the development of the army requires a large number of war horses.
Simply purchasing excellent war horses from the Qiang people is obviously not a long-term solution, and once a war breaks out with the Qiang people, the source of war horses will be restricted. Liu Xuan does not like this situation of being controlled by others. [..com]
Considering that he has the medicinal herbs for cultivating war horses, although the quantity is still very small, since he has the Weapon Refining Department and Xun You has also understood many skills and spells related to logistics, he can completely cultivate this war horse.
Let your subordinates do it.
In this case, as long as excellent horse breeds are introduced, the imperial court can cultivate a large number of excellent war horses. And with the many spells and medicines provided by Liu Xuan, these war horses will not gradually lose their original advantages due to a change of environment.
Instead, it will evolve from generation to generation until it becomes perfect.
After leaving Tianshui County, Liu Xuan counted the days and found that he had already left the capital for several months.
They left the capital in February of spring. Calculating that it was already June, it was almost autumn. The stay in Tianshui County was a little long. Liu Xuan visited almost all the larger counties in Tianshui County.
, and got close contact with some foreign races living in the local area.
Generally speaking, these foreigners are very satisfied with their current life and have become accustomed to many habits of the Han people. This once again proves that the strength of the Han people is not their doctrine, creativity or integrity, but their terrifying ability to assimilate.
"It is said that the Jews who are said to be the least likely to be assimilated in the world have been assimilated by the Han people a lot..."
Liu Xuan only made some miscellaneous records like this at first, and he didn't know whether it was true or not, but the fact that this statement could be spread also objectively proves the strong assimilation power of the Han people.
Liu Xuan was naturally very happy about this assimilation ability, because this assimilation ability would be of great help to his future plans.
In addition, it also proves his point of view: there is no need to worry about the problem of alien races, just the simplest way to deal with it: those who follow will prosper, and those who go against will perish!
After confirming this, Liu Xuan had no interest in staying in Tianshui County anymore and talked with Man Chong about some miscellaneous matters. After asking about his cultivation situation, he left Tianshui directly for Longxi.
Over in Longxi, they checked and heard the news again, but this time it was not as leisurely as when they were in Tianshui County, especially considering that Longxi County is the border area of the Han Dynasty and is not very peaceful, so Liu Xuan's activities
The scope is controlled within a very small range.
Liu Xuan himself wished that the group of blind Qiang people would lead their troops to kill him. However, Ma Teng was still in a friendly period with the Qiang people, so the Qiang people did not bother with soldiers and horses coming to plunder the territory of the Han Dynasty.
After staying for a while, Guo Jia took a moment to say something to Liu Xuan: "It's autumn now, Your Majesty, you should set off and return. Otherwise, it will be difficult to walk on the cold roads in winter, and it will be very easy to get out if the roads are blocked by heavy snow."
Accident.
Huang Zhong also strongly agreed with Guo Jia's suggestion.
Huang Zhong has been concentrating on training since he saw Liu Xuan's strength. He has hardly spoken in the past few months, just quietly guarding Liu Xuan and at the same time commanding the accompanying soldiers to arrange some affairs.
This was the first time in several months that he took the initiative to put forward his own suggestions: "I have heard recently that Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and Nanhua in Yuzhou have been making frequent moves. His Majesty's long absence from the division is not conducive to dealing with many changes."
The silence of the court this year seems to have made Nanhua and Zhang Lu even more unscrupulous, especially Nanhua. Because he is far away, even if the court wants to take action, he cannot reach him. In the past six months, there have been frequent actions and troubles.
There was a big movement.
Now Nanhua's Taiping Road not only occupied the eastern part of Yuzhou, but also captured the western part of Xuzhou, and finally connected Langya's two lone armies.
The strength of the combined forces has naturally increased greatly. Now Taiping Dao Huo Huo seems to be trying to swallow Xuzhou in one go. If it weren't for the performance of the new Yangzhou Mu Sun Ce who was conferred by the imperial court, and he frequently attacked in the south to contain the strength of the Yellow Turban Army.
, Tao Qian was afraid that his hometown had been completely destroyed long ago.
However, Yanzhou Liu Dai and Qingzhou Yuan Shao, who had high hopes at the beginning, did not perform well. Among them, Liu Dai did fight with the Yellow Turban bandits for a few battles, but won less and lost more.
Yuan Shao's actions are worth pondering. He only used generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou to guard the choke points, and then ran to drive Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, out of his own territory. He annexed the entire Jizhou to his belly without much effort.
inside.
At the same time, he had a falling out with Youzhou Gongsun Zan. Now that the two families were on the same level, Yuan Shao had no intention of paying attention to Taiping Road, which was still entangled with Tao Qian and others. Instead, he concentrated on digesting the Jizhou he had just acquired and guarding against the north.
Gongsun Zan.
After only a few months, Yuan Shao not only failed to follow the imperial court's instructions to deal with the Yellow Turbans, but instead began to annex the surrounding princes. His disobedience was clearly demonstrated.
It is precisely for this reason that Grand Tutor Yuan Wei immediately sent an urgent message to Liu Xuan. First, he declared to sever ties with Yuan Shao, and the other was to resign.
Liu Xuan naturally knew what the old guy was planning, but he did lack some consulting services for the elderly, so Liu Xuan did not agree to Yuan Wei's resignation.
This is what happened in half a year. Compared with Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, there was much less movement. Although there is a small friction with Liu Yan at the moment, neither party has made much movement. I don’t know if they are accumulating strength or saying that they are in trouble.
Guard yourself against this?
However, Liu Xuan estimated that Zhang Lu wouldn't be able to bear it for too long. It won't be long before Zhang Lu launches a full-scale attack on Liu Yan. After all, sitting in Hanzhong, he has an inherent advantage in attacking Xichuan - Hanzhong is known as the gateway to Xichuan not only because it is from
Xichuan has to pass through Hanzhong when leaving Shu. Another reason is that there are several relatively flat roads from Hanzhong to Xichuan.
In other words, the Qinling Mountains, the natural barrier of Shu, did not pose any obstacle to Zhang Lu. On the contrary, it also blocked the imperial court's reinforcements. Now that Shu is a world of its own, it is indeed difficult for them to get out, but Liu Xuan wants to go in...
.........It's not an easy thing at the moment. I can only sit back and watch the two of them fight to the death.
"It's time to go back!"
Zhang Liao also sent a letter a few days ago. There were not many things mentioned in it. What concerned Liu Xuan the most was the reorganization and training of the Yulin Cavalry.
According to Liu Xuan's plan, the Yulin Cavalry, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Huben Army will all begin preliminary training. After half a year, it's time for some results to be achieved, right?
He does not require that all of these soldiers become the same as Lu Bu in such a short period of time, but they must be better than ordinary soldiers, right?
However, judging from the letters sent by Zhang Liao, it was difficult for ordinary soldiers to understand the meaning of the magic formula. Even with step-by-step instructions, the progress was extremely slow. This embarrassing reality made Liu Xuan helpless for a while.
"Ignore that the knowledge level of most people in this era is not very good!"
Even many soldiers were originally just honest people who had never left the village a hundred miles away in their lives. Even if they were served as soldiers, they only received weapons, learned a few basic basic moves, and then survived a battle by chance. So,
They also learned the most important combat experience between life and death and became veterans.
The so-called elite soldiers are selected based on these "veterans", most of whom can't even write their own names. It is really difficult for these people to understand the complicated and profound cultivation methods.
Liu Xuan's original plan to implement the cultivation techniques to all armies in the shortest time was difficult because the soldiers' basic knowledge was not enough.
"It seems that...the school's issues have to be put on the agenda!"
From his point of view, even if the ministers in his hands have nothing to do in the future, they can still be teachers and teach students. Liu Xuan will not be very avant-garde in offering any 'modernized courses', and what they teach is still in line with this era.
But Liu Xuan did not want that knowledge to be restricted when it was passed down, but to teach it to all Han people.
As for those cultivation knowledge, if you want to learn it, at least learn the basics of that knowledge first.
After this knowledge became popular throughout the Han Dynasty, Liu Xuan could officially popularize the knowledge of cultivation. At that time, many things would begin to be used by civilians, and the people would be more accepting of these common sense and similar things.
easy.
Then some talented people will enter the 'professional' schools to systematically learn relevant knowledge. This is the educational framework formulated by Liu Xuan.
But to accomplish this, we still need people!
After embarking on the return journey, Liu Xuan was thinking about who was suitable to be responsible for the popularization of education. As a result, Xun You said: "Today, most people are still struggling to have enough food and clothing."
Oh, please, Your Majesty has begun to think about this teaching matter, is he too impatient?"
Xun You could sense that this was good governance, but he did not think that this decree could be implemented smoothly - especially in the current situation, where knowledge was in the hands of wealthy families, and these people would be willing to teach more people than wealthy families.
A poor child of a wealthy family? And then he watched helplessly as a major advantage of the wealthy family was lost from his own hands?
Maybe Liu Xuan can use strong methods to promulgate the decree, but the people below will definitely not do it with all their heart.
And.........Until the three issues of food, clothing, and housing are completely resolved, ordinary people have no time to think about anything else. Even if Liu Xuan really implements this decree, how many people will respond?
Xun You felt: "For this decree to be implemented, there must first be several conditions! One: Apart from His Majesty, there will be no second voice in the court. All the civil and military officials in the DPRK and China are loyal to Your Majesty!"
“Secondly, people don’t have to worry about food, clothing and accommodation!”
"It will take at least several years to achieve these two points. However, His Majesty is only in his early twenties, so there is no need to rush."!
