Chapter 673 Liu Qi passed away
It is difficult for a skillful woman to cook without rice. No matter how good the policy of Liangguo is, it can't stand so many families.
Jia Rong's memorial to Tian Feng only criticized a very simple sentence, "Act cheaply."
Yizhou was pacified, but Jia Rong did not stop and occupied Jiaozhou, which was also the top priority. At this time, Cao Cao only had the three prefectures of Yanzhou Qingzhou and Xuzhou in his hand. In terms of strength, Liang Guo has pulled him out more than two streets, and now he still has beneficial to the state of heaven, and there is no reason to give up Jiaozhou.
He left Guo Yan in Yizhou, led 30,000 soldiers and horses, backed by Yizhou, and prepared to pacify Jiaozhou in one fell swoop. Jia Rong also returned to Luoyang. In the dynasty, there could not be no heaven for a day. In the past, when Jia Rong was a general and the king of Liang, this did not come out. Now he has become the king of a country. Many major events need to go through Jia Rong. First, the responsibilities of the three provinces are getting bigger and bigger, which has aroused the disgust of some officials in the court. In the past, they performed their respective duties, and the documents were uniformly issued by the Liangwang Mansion, but now they have issued them and urged the implementation. The officials naturally have some resistance, but due to the system in the officialdom, it is not easy to say clearly. After Jia Rong heard this matter, It's just a smile. If you don't adapt, it doesn't mean that you can't adapt in the future. The three provinces and six ministries have greatly weakened the influence of the family in the court.
The following year, Liangguo issued a decree to go to various places. Every autumn, a scientific examination will be held to select talented people to work for the country. The issuance of this decree means that the talents of the whole Liang Kingdom will be elected from the world, not the recommendation system. As long as there are talented people, they will be reused. As for the scientific examination The books are also customized by the country.
Zhuge Liang returned to Jingzhou in dismay. When he went, he swore that there were still so many soldiers and horses when he came back. He just walked around Yizhou.
Liu Bei didn't say anything about this. After comforting Zhuge Liang, he continued to carry out rectification work in Jingzhou. The strength of Liang Guo made Liu Bei feel a huge crisis. He abandoned his previous hatred and allied with Cao Cao. The princes of the two sides reached a consensus to resist the Western Liang army.
With the vast territory and strong support, Jia Rong felt that it was easy to fight a war. From time to time, he practiced in Nanyang County, which made Liu Bei panic. The cavalry appeared in Dong County, which made Cao Cao worried. In short, it was quite good to let the two princes live in the shadow of the Xiliang Army.
Zhuge Liang is dedicated to technology, which is still very effective. After the transformation of the Thunderbolt car, the range is comparable to that of the Xiliang Army. The most important thing is that Zhuge Liang made a crossbow and can shoot ten crossbows at a time. Liu Bei is very happy to see it.
Liu Bei did not enjoy such a technology, but chose to cooperate with Cao Cao to get grain and materials from Cao Jun. At the same time, he shared the technology of the crossbow car with Cao Cao.
However, the weapon that the Xiliang army can blow up the gate has never been developed. If it can be developed successfully, Zhuge Liang is confident to regain control of Yizhou, so as to win back the disadvantage on the battlefield. The importance of a weapon seems to be so when the two sides fight. Important.
The scientific examination has stimulated the people of the world to a certain extent. Naturally, the people do not want their children to work all day long without any reputation. Being an official is the most direct means for the people to shine. When the Xiliang Army first developed, the people rarely appeared in the school. The main reason is that at that time, they thought that it was better to go to the street to do some work than to let their children go to school to read and write.
The scientific examination is a means that can make a penniless person quickly become famous. There are countless talented people in the world, and there are very few who are really willing to become an official. The deception in the officialdom has nothing to do with it. Liangguo is Guo Jia, who has just emerged. Everything is waiting to be done. It is new here. The officials were full of energy and were not corrupted for the time being, and they could be shortlisted for the court through the scientific examination, which greatly stimulated the people of the world.
Cao Cao's recruitment order seems a little unimportant in front of the scientific examination system. He is broad-minded and directly faces the target of officials from all over the world, rather than the recruitment order.
The economy of Luoyang has shown a prosperous situation. The capital of this big man has a new brilliance in Jia Rong's hands. Now the people of Luyang only know Liangguo, and have no feelings for the Han Dynasty. Even if it is discussed after dinner, it will not attract soldiers. As long as you don't break the law, there will be no soldiers. Soldiers looking for you, freedom of speech, this is the current situation of Luoyang.
Explosives made the Xiliang Army the biggest profiteer in the attack on Yizhou and Jizhou. The soldiers sacrificed were negligible, and the benefits received were great. The land of the two states provided countless money and food every year.
Cao Jun has just come out of the economic shadow. With the last lesson, Cao Cao directly closed the bank. It seems that Liangguo is not all good. Some means, if you are forced to learn, you can only hit your head and break the blood. That's what the previous economy was like.
However, Cao Cao also learned from Jia Rong to publicly collect taxes from businessmen.
When he had nothing to do, Jia Rong suddenly had the idea of walking in the city. After changing places, his life became very organized. Although he enjoyed the benefits of power, it was inevitably annoying after a long time.
He changed into a simple dress. Accompanied by Zhang Xiu, Jia Rong came to the campus in the city. The crisp and delicate shouts made Jia Rong stop and suddenly remembered that there were female soldiers in the army.
"Worship with the Holy King." Zhao Yu, dressed in a uniform, saw Jia Rong coming to the campus accompanied by Zhang Xiu and hurried forward to salute.
Jia Rong patted Zhao Yu on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Why, I haven't seen him for many days. I've become strange. Let me see your soldiers."
Zhao Yu shouted coquettishly, and 2,000 female soldiers quickly completed the assembly. The whole process was not inferior to that of the male soldiers at all. The reaction speed alone made the one secretly praise. On the battlefield, the reaction of the soldiers was particularly important.
After a while of training, Jia Rong nodded slightly. This female soldier was very qualified, and there had never been a female soldier on the battlefield of the big man. The behavior of the Xiliang Army could be said to have challenged the thinking of contemporary people.
Lone Wolf Heavenly Punishment and Assassination are the sharpest weapons in Jia Rong's hand. In order to improve the strength of the three teams, Jia Rong directly ordered the three parties to expand all the people and horses to 2,000 people. In fact, the strength of Heavenly Punishment is unfathomable and can penetrate into the official system, and their ability can be seen.
The next year, Guo Yan came to the good news, and the whole Jiaozhou had been paced.
In the palace and happy with his family, Jia Rong suddenly had a sense of trance. He thought that he came to the Eastern Han Dynasty and was a naked person, but now he has become the most noble person in the whole world. Cao Cao and Liu Bei of Jingzhou will be calmed down sooner or later, unless the military of the Xiliang Army makes a huge mistake.
In the second year of Kaiyuan, the emperor of Liang was granted amnesty to the world. As long as the criminals did not commit too many mistakes, they were exempted from the crime, and all the people's taxes were comprehensive.
The voice of the Liang Kingdom is getting louder and louder in the whole world, especially among merchants and ordinary people. Although they are under the rule of the princes, their yearning for the State of Liang is from the heart.
In the autumn of the same year, a grand scientific examination was held in all the lands of Liangguo. High school students will go to the capital Luyang at the beginning of the spring to take the examination again. Finally, on the Chaozhong Hall, Jia Rong will personally answer the questions.
Whether in ancient or modern times, Jia Rong has always been free from vulgarity, especially in ancient times. With such a large population, even the household department can't control everyone's intelligence, and writing articles is the only way out for students.
The content of the question is closely related to the governance of the world. It is not about money. Talented officials should also start from the basic county magistrates. Only with local governance and achievements can they truly become talents and senior officials.
Liu Qi's sudden death messed up Liu Bei's plan. This year's rest and recuperation, Liu Bei has almost unified the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou by his own means. He has Liu Qi's trump card in his hand, and Zhuge's appearance and help. At this time, Jingzhou Yinyin has become Liu Bei's master.
As for the Cai family, it has been completely suppressed. Although the Cai family does not clearly say that it is a backer, anyone who has intentions can notice that Liang Guo takes care of the Cai family.
In the second year of Kaiyuan, in March, it was destined to be unforgettable for no mathematicians. Many elites from all over the world went to Yueyang, and the whole Yueyang suddenly became bustling. On the street, students with books in their hands could be seen everywhere, which also became a grand event in Liangguo.
In order to show the importance he attached to the scientific research, Jia Rong personally came forward to host it. This is the selection system for talents in Liangguo in the future. He will no longer select people with insight from his family. This is a huge progress. No matter how prosperous a family is, it can never be compared with the whole world, and so will talents.
The grand event of the State of Liang also shocked other princes. There are many people with a little ink under the rule who went to the State of Liang to participate in the scientific examination. The officials of the State of Liang did not stop this. As long as there are talented people, they can be reused in the State of Liang.
Recently, Cao Cao felt very uncomfortable, and the treasury could not be enriched. After the merchants united, a large amount of money under his rule was lost out. The merchants under his rule could not be integrated at all. How could he compete with the merchants of Liangguo? Cao Cao was also quite helpless. It was too late to pay attention to businessmen. Basically, famous businessmen are all in Luyang, and it's not easy to talk about it now.
In addition, the alliance with Liu Bei and the production method of the crossbow car made Cao Cao extremely excited. With such a sharp weapon, when fighting with the Xiliang Army, there is a little certainty that there is no need to be passive everywhere. On the plain, the crossbow car has full lethality, and even the cavalry dare not easily touch its edge. .
