Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Of course, Liao Li's original words were not like this. After all, Liao Li was a person of high status and would not speak so low-level. His original words were to improve economic civilization and strengthen the education of foreign population, but after translation, it was simply and crudely about making money and assimilation.

Liao Li did not refute this, because as the governor of Jingzhou, Liao Li knew very well what the bureaucrats in Jingnan were like now. If those unlucky kids didn't think of a way out, they would fall from county-level bureaucrats to county-level bureaucrats. How exciting this was in the officialdom, Liao Li didn't want to describe it at all.

So when the bureaucrats in Jingnan were racking their brains to get people from the mountains and valleys, Liao Li watched quietly and didn't give any instructions. To be honest, he was ready to watch the four counties in Jingnan being merged into one county, compressing the establishment, and giving these people a big downgrade.

After all, Liao Li had never thought that this group of Jingnan bureaucrats who looked like trash could get nearly 100,000 people from the mountains. Although these 100,000 newcomers did not look like decent people, they felt like they were either Liao people or barbarians, but you said whether they were locals. There is no doubt that they were locals when they arrived in Jingnan.

Therefore, when the locals had gathered enough people to avoid the reduction, Liao Li stood up and said that I, the governor of Jingzhou, still had to protect the bureaucrats under my command and could not let the ministers in Chang'an bully me. After all, I was the governor of Jingzhou and had the obligation to protect the people under my rule.

Bullshit, Liao Li, who had been watching the fun before and wished that all these people would fall, could be so kind, because in the current environment, these people in Jingnan could actually drill into the forest, cross the mountains, and dig out a population of more than 100,000 from who knows where, especially these people were confirmed by the people sent by Liao Li, they were really the product of the barbarization of the Han people.

Apart from other things, these people also worship their ancestors, and they can count their ancestors one by one. Some of them are even descendants of the survivors brought to Lingnan by Zhao Tuo at the end of the Qin Dynasty. Although they have been living in the mountains for three or four hundred years without contact with people, their bloodline is pure enough. Even if they are barbaric, as long as they are educated in the future, they are all real people.

So when Liao Li saw that the four counties in Jingnan were about to explode, he personally went down. Before, Jingnan had only 20,000 people, and they were reduced. In Liao Li's opinion, they deserved it, and even wished that group of guys would die quickly, but now that these guys have increased the population, then as the boss of Jingzhou, it is time for him to take action. The prosperity and peace under his rule are very important.

You can't just watch tens of thousands of guys coming out of the mountains and fighting with weapons when they have nothing to do. Go to the factory, all of them go to the factory. Shi Xie's operation in Jiaozhou proved that as long as all the young people are stuffed into large state-owned workshops, then the sons and daughters of these young people can be stuffed into the schools of state-owned workshops.

In this way, only the elderly people whose breathing ability has declined are left in the village, and everything becomes very harmonious. Anyway, Shi Xie relied on this move to make the large-scale clan fights in Jiaozhou become a nonsense story. Fights are bullshit, get to work!

Seeing that the fights in Jingnan have become a new high-incidence area for fights in the Han Dynasty, Liao Li immediately sent people to Jiaozhou to study and investigate. After learning a wave of advanced experience from Shi Xie, Liao Li decisively decided to plant sugarcane and build a large sugarcane plantation, because this does not require much technology and can absorb a lot of people. The rest is to get the official procedures and channels, and most people in Jingnan can get a sum of money, and the stability of the region can be solved with money and morality.

The law is bullshit. If you use the law against the stability maintenance targets, you can only blow up the place.

Liao Li is a man of moral integrity, and he has found a way to get money. As for the official procedures and channels, who does he look down on? Although Liao Li stays in Jingzhou all year round, he can really make some connections in Chang'an. What's more, when everyone can share the profits, only a fool will stop him. After all, Liao Li is also a person of character. If he dares to stop him when the communication is in place, he will really take action. He is not afraid of being ruthless!

"It's okay. Anyway, I approved this. Liao, the governor, has already started preparations. Jingnan should be stable soon." Chen Xi put the official documents reported by Liao Li aside and said with a smile. Chen Xi is still willing to help this kind of bureaucrat who works hard. Moreover, Chen Xi has heard a lot about the fun of Jingnan in the past two years. After all, becoming the new center of the Han Dynasty's armed struggle is not a good reputation. Ah, you said Liangzhou, is the Liangzhou armed struggle still news?

Counting the Qiang Rebellion, the local fighting in Liangzhou has lasted for hundreds of years, and it is continuous, large-scale, and there is no sign of stopping. In this case, it is news that Liangzhou has stopped fighting, and continuing fighting is just the norm.

"How much sugar can these 150 plantations produce?" Jia Xu frowned and said, "Tens of thousands of tons?"

It's not that Jia Xu cares about this, but sugar is really a precious strategic resource these days. In addition, many foods also need it as an additive, whether it is to enhance the flavor or increase the shelf life. However, after the sugar produced by the Han Dynasty was supplied to Yanzhou, there was not much left.

In addition, sugar and salt smuggling was very famous in the Han Dynasty, so famous that Chen Xi was forced to manage this business. There was no other way. The salt of the Han Dynasty was of good quality and cheap, and sugar, currently only the Han Dynasty could produce rock sugar. The other two empires, Rome, not to mention, had not yet managed the sugarcane plantation. South America finally planted a wave, and then it was bombed. Kushan was better. There were sugarcane plantations, but Kushan had never been able to do a good job of decolorization. The color and taste of sugar were obviously different from those of the Han Dynasty.

Before the rock sugar from the Han Dynasty came out, the slightly astringent feeling and color were definitely the punchline products exported by Kushan. This stuff was among the stuff Rome imported from India, and it was even sold at a high price. But since the Han Dynasty made rock sugar, the sugar in India collapsed.

Because after the Brahmins and Kshatriyas ate the rock sugar from the Han Dynasty, they also had doubts about their own sugar. Damn, is that sugar we produce?

So the sugar consumed by the bigwigs of the world's three major empires was produced by the Han Dynasty. Then the question is, how much sugar can the Han Dynasty produce in a year?

Less than 30,000 tons, what a joke. After supplying Yanzhou agricultural grain, the remaining sugar is not enough for even the Han Dynasty's top leaders. Even Rome and Kushan are still crying for food. Chen Xi is also convinced.

So the two thousand kilograms of white sugar that Chen Xi delivered to the Tibetan area at that time was a huge reward, because the Han Dynasty really did not have enough white sugar output, but there was no good way. Whether it was a sugarcane plantation or a sugar industry, manpower was needed, especially the technology used by the Han Dynasty now, which required a large number of manpower to maintain operation.

But there are too many places that need manpower. The sugar industry is also a very important industry, but compared with the current situation of the Han Dynasty, let's put it off for now. After two years, when the national strategy is promoted and Kushan is eliminated, the sugar industry should have considerable development.

At worst, after killing the Brahmins and Kshatriyas who eat imported sugar from Kushan, the Han Dynasty can also consume less. As for the rest, it can only be done this way now.

"The real scale has not been determined yet, and the situation in Jingnan is only suitable for growing sugarcane. It may not be suitable for the sugar industry." Chen Xi sighed and said, "But it doesn't matter. Let Liao, the governor, do it first. At most, the cost will increase by a few coins."

"Do you care about those coins?" Li You looked at Chen Xi with a strange face and said.

"I care, because these coins are not written by me, but the labor cost." Chen Xi sighed and said, of course he doesn't care about the money he wrote, but this kind of labor output that cannot be compressed is different from the money he occasionally writes by hand. There is an essential difference between the two.

"Forget it, Kong Ming, how is the new learning going? It's been five years." Chen Xi didn't want to get entangled in this aspect, so he turned to look at Zhuge Liang and asked. In fact, the biggest indicator Chen Xi had in the 25-year plan was not the pastures, workshops, and agricultural output. These indicators seemed to be against the sky to others, but in Chen Xi's opinion, even if they could not be completed, most of the things could be completed. Even if they were assigned to his subordinates, as long as they were kept watching and developed step by step, they could be done.

What really gave Chen Xi a headache was education. In those days, the Han Dynasty was really full of illiterates. To put it bluntly, if you wrote the word "death" in front of most people, they would not recognize it.

Therefore, universal education is very important. Chen Xi has been working hard on education since the Taishan period, and has been constantly digging into the corners of major families, but even now, the number of people who have received higher education that Chen Xi can harvest is still very scarce.

The problem is that in the industrial age, illiterates are not regarded as labor, but can only be regarded as tools that can be replaced. If you want to develop industry, or if you want to quickly replace the current workshop-style gameplay, the easiest way is to engage in education.

Only those who have received education and have a certain amount of knowledge can be suitable for industrial gameplay, because illiterate people cannot learn new technologies, cannot keep up with technological innovation, and cannot promote technological innovation, which is very fatal. Therefore, Chen Xi must popularize education in the second five-year plan.

Even for this reason, Chen Xi gave up the right to interpret the classics and laws to a certain extent in the second five-year plan, that is, the definition and interpretation of social morality, and focused on conquering "techniques", that is, continuing the overall definition of social morality of the major families, and only pursuing the foundation of industrial development.

This operation is not very good, but it has also greatly reduced the resistance of the major families. In addition to the current macro-environmental restrictions, the major families are also willing to teach the people of the Han Dynasty. At the beginning of the sixth year of Yuanfeng, Chen Xi and the major families basically finalized the details of the five-year plan on education-Chen Xi did not change the right to interpret the classics and laws, and Chen Xi only needed skilled workers.

Relying on the big stick and red dates, as well as the current situation, what the Han Dynasty royal family wanted to do for hundreds of years was done in Chen Xi's hands. Independently cultivating talents needed by the country, rather than cultivating and recommending talents needed by the country by the aristocratic families, is an improvement in any case.

Why is the family tradition of "farming and studying" so terrifying? To put it bluntly, it means that one hand controls the right to education, and has the right to define and interpret universal morality, and the other hand controls the country's grain bag.

Money or no money, if you control these two, money will come naturally.

Therefore, the most important thing in the second five-year plan is actually the allocation of this right to education. Now that Yuanfeng has been around for ten years, according to the plan at that time, it is time for the first batch of personnel to be trained.

"Here, this is it. Kong Changshi gave it to me before he ran away." Zhuge Liang flipped through the official document written by Kong Rong and handed it to Chen Xi.

Kong Rong's position was taken by Chen Xi and the major families because he always used people who were educated in a black market. He was promoted from the nine ministers like Taichang to six hundred stones, which was the same level as Erxiong who was guarding the agricultural grain in Yanzhou, but Kong Rong's job was still being done.

After all, if there is a leader in education, compared with the evil beasts like Yuan Yang and the local famous guys like Chen Xun, Chen Xi thinks it is better to follow the old rules and let the descendants of Confucius take over. At least this choice is the kind that everyone can accept.

The major families also have almost the same idea, so in the sixth year of Yuanfeng, this matter fell on Kong Rong's head, and then Kong Rong has been constantly blacking people since he took over this job. Now he finally ran away because of too many black people.

"Kong Changshi may not be good at other things, but he is really good at education." Chen Xi looked at the official documents reported by Kong Rong. Chen Xi knew that the data had been adjusted, because many people had been directed away by Kong Rong or the major families, and the rest were left for Chen Xi.

But even so, this number is acceptable to Chen Xi, and no matter how outrageous or black Kong Rong is, he can't mess around with this document that Chen Xi must read. What's more, after Chen Xi reads the document that Kong Rong submitted when he ran away, he will definitely look at the data that he asked Mi Zhu to count. After comparing the two, many things will be clear.

"After all, he is the descendant of a saint." Li You said very dissatisfied.

It's not that he is dissatisfied with the education, but that Kong Rong ran away. Li You is very unhappy, because after Kong Rong ran away, the Han Dynasty can't find a suitable candidate now. Although there are many people who want to do this, they can be arranged from Weiyang Palace to outside Chang'an City, but the one who is really suitable for this job, according to Li You's observations in the past few years, is really Kong Rong.

But this time Li You had no way to deal with Kong Rong. Kong Rong had done a good job in the university. After all, this was the work of his ancestor Confucius. Even if Kong Rong wanted to do something wrong, he had to think about it, not to mention that Kong Rong had to have some face.

In addition, Kong Rong was not very good at being an official, and his handling of government affairs was not very good, but his reputation and background were there, so it would not be good if he did not give him an official position.

Getting him to run a university was considered to have fulfilled his reputation and background, and it also corresponded to the achievements of their ancestors. With the combination of the two, Kong Rong naturally did his best. This person was not really a waste, but he was not suitable for the kind of play in the officialdom. In addition, education was something that everyone from the principal to the teacher did their best. As long as the students were not bad, they could learn something.

Therefore, under Kong Rong's hard work in the past few years, university education really produced some talents. At least there was no problem in filling the gaps in state-owned workshops in various places, which completely met Chen Xi's needs.

As for running away, the reason is very simple. This winter, the largest wave of mature technical workers will be trained through professional education since the sixth year of Yuanfeng. It sounds good, right? The threshold of Kong Rong's family has been trampled down.

Just like Wang Lie, why does Wang Lie say that he needs to delay for a long time after using his spiritual talent? Because if you don't delay for a long time, a group of powerful people will come to you. Even if you say you need to delay for a long time, there will still be some favors that you can't wipe out.

This is also why the prince claims that he has to lie down for half a year after using his spiritual talent. There are still a lot of young people in the Han Dynasty who have been identified by the prince's spiritual talent. To put it bluntly, there are some people's favors that Wang Lie really can't wipe out.

The old Chen family always grabbed Wang Lie's hand, saying that they were not as virtuous as their ancestors. Can Wang Lie let the old Chen family say that the ancestor Chen Shi helped you, your brothers, and your teacher in the past? Of course not. Wang Lie had to actively interrupt the following words and then help the old Chen family - Chen Tai has the potential to become a general or a prime minister, so he should be trained well, blah blah...

This kind of favor is difficult for ordinary families, but for super wealthy families, what have I been doing for hundreds of years? Can't I accumulate favors that you can't avoid?

Do you look down on our super wealthy family?

So to this day, Wang Lie has been shown to a large group of people.

Although Yang Hu and Yang Huiyu, the two kids, do not have a super wealthy background, they have an awesome grandfather. Li Ru passed by with the two kids, and Wang Lie began to wonder if this guy has any problems. Otherwise, let him see it and keep him away.

So everyone knows what Wang Lie's situation is, but it is impossible for a family that does not reach a certain level to touch Wang Lie, so Wang Lie does not need to run away.

But Kong Rong is different. The technical college that Kong Rong founded was originally a thing agreed upon by Chen Xi and the major wealthy families. It was agreed when it was founded that everyone would have it, but Chen Xi would take 70%. Therefore, when it was time to ship it at the end of this year, the threshold of Kong Rong's family was under an unbearable burden.

As I said before, those who could come to Kong Rong were all people that Kong Rong could not refuse, and the reasons were very sufficient. Even the Xun family, who said they didn't need it, would definitely want the largest share when it came to distributing human resources. After all, they were not fools.

And if you want the largest share, I want the largest share, and everyone wants the largest share, then what's the point? Kong Rong himself was not suitable for handling such things, so he decisively blacklisted the largest share himself and then ran away. I heard that he was being hunted by Yuan Yang recently.

I got up late, emmm
