Chapter 1215 Monarch and Subject Concentric
When Liu Xie received Zhou Zhong's memorial, he had just sorted out the situation in Lingling County.

Overall, the situation is not optimistic, at least much more serious than he imagined.

Although Lingling has been included in the territory of the Central Plains for four or five hundred years, it is still a frontier in the cultural sense, retaining quite a lot of local beliefs, and has very little system and enlightenment from the Central Plains.It cannot be said that the influence of books with the same text and cars with the same track cannot be said to be absent, it can only be said to be negligible.

There are many reasons, the most important of which are two points:

One is that the vast majority of people are illiterate, and the same text has no effect on them, since they do not know how to read anyway, and only those within the system need to be proficient in writing.

The second is due to terrain constraints, developed waterway transportation, limited land transportation, horse-drawn carriages are expensive and unnecessary means of transportation, and etiquette is of greater significance. Only officials and a small number of gentry have the willingness and ability to undertake it, and most people still Choose to walk or take a boat.

In short, ordinary people have no concept of the distant court.They have been out of the mountain village all their lives, never seeing people in the court, how the court is, whether it is Qin or Han, who the emperor is, has nothing to do with them.

Therefore, they don't care about things like regime change at all, they only care about whether their own interests will be damaged, and they will rebel if they disagree. Go back to farming and hunting.

Because of the lack of arable land, hunting has become an important means of subsistence, so most of the locals are good at using bows and crossbows, and they go up and down the mountain like walking on flat ground. They are natural mountain warriors, and there are countless capable ones.

Just like the herdsmen on the prairie are born knights.

Such people are the best source of soldiers, the premise is that they can be used well, otherwise they will become troubles, like ulcers.

Regrettably, there are very limited officials who can make good use of these advantages. Most of them just want to muddle along, pass their tenure, and then find a way to transfer away as soon as possible.In their eyes, getting a job here is just a process, even a punishment. Few people want to manage the place and promote enlightenment.

This is probably the reason why the southwestern region could not be reformed until the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Geographical conditions are one aspect, but what is more important is that the scholar-officials who are the elites of the era do not have enough sense of responsibility and only think about their own interests, so they should be transferred from these remote places as soon as possible to more affluent places. It is best to enter the court as a minister .

After learning about this, Liu Xie was very silent, and he became more determined in his previous thoughts.

Compared with external conquest, internal integration and enlightenment are obviously more urgent.The interior is full of raw rice, how can we go west with peace of mind?
The key point is to change the concept of scholars, so that they will implement the concept of practicing the teachings of saints, rather than talking about it.

In short, if you can't have a deep understanding of remote areas and can't make political achievements, don't expect to be a great minister.

You are not worthy.

How can you rule the world with only a small piece of the hinterland of the Central Plains in your heart?
Liu Xie first talked about these ideas with Jia Xu and Zhang Ji, and then discussed them with Sanqi and Shangshu around him.

Jia Xu and Zhang Ji were very supportive.

Zhang Ji, who seldom expressed his views on politics, said that if the officials all over the world could do what His Majesty said, how could Liangzhou have been in chaos for a hundred years?When those Kwantung scholar-bureaucrats came to Liangzhou, they only wanted to corrupt, they had no intention of governing, and they didn't care about the life and death of Liangzhou people.They poked out the basket, patted their buttocks and transferred, and the locals of Liangzhou had to solve it.

Jia Xu was also a little emotional.But he was not as straightforward as Zhang Ji said. He just said that Confucian scholars would talk about enlightenment, but not many people could put it into practice.Your Majesty toured the world and set an example for the scholars and bureaucrats in the world. The merits of the present age will benefit the future.

After hearing this, Liu Xie couldn't help laughing, but also understood Jia Xu's far-reaching intention of persuading him to innovate the system and periodically inspect the world.

Such a thing can only be effective if the emperor personally promotes it.

If the emperor himself sits still, but hopes that local officials will take action, it will be difficult to implement it.

He suddenly understood why the Chinese Communist Party in the [-]st century would conduct research all over the place and rarely stay in the capital.

Jia Xu's suggestion has the same effect.

It has to be said that Yan Zhong's evaluation of Jia Xu is very appropriate. He not only has Chen Ping's ingenious schemes, but also Zhang Liang's level of insight. He is worthy of being Jia Sheng's descendant and Liangzhou's elite.

Sanqi and Shangshu also agreed with Liu Xie's point of view, especially Jiang Wan, Liu Min, Lai Gong and others who had just joined the post.

They are all natives of Lingling, with passion and deep affection for the local land. Of course, they hope that their hometown can be as prosperous and civilized as the Central Plains, instead of the despicable and barren land in the eyes of the Central Plains people.

After repeated discussions, Liu Xie decided to build a school in Lingling first.

Counties and counties must be built.The county school promotes universal education to train local officials, while the county school raises the level, trains county magistrates, lieutenants, supervisors and other officials, broadens their horizons, shapes the concept of the world, and lays the foundation for them to go out of Lingling.

In Liu Xie's plan, a considerable number of ministers will come from Bianjun in the future.

Only in this way can they truly integrate into the Chinese civilization, and the frontiers of the Chinese civilization can also be substantially expanded.

Jia Xu highly agreed, and made a suggestion to set up a special lecture hall to recruit the children of the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River. The main task is to study mountain warfare, and to select outstanding talents for the southern conquest of Jiaozhou and further conquests in the future. Build a reserve force.

Liu Xie agreed and reached a consensus with Yu Fan.

But the military alone is not enough, the governance of the locality also depends on the law.

At this moment, Zhou Zhong's memorial arrived.

After reading the memorial and seeing the final recommendation list, it was not Man Chong but Gao Rou who caught Liu Xie's attention.

Of course he knew who Gao Rou was, but he didn't know that Gao Rou was already the secretary of the Sikong Mansion, and Zhou Zhong admired him so much.

It seems that Zhou Zhong has made full use of the power of self-discipline, without wasting it at all.

After Liu Xie weighed it, he immediately replied to Zhou Zhong.He plans to stay in Lingling for a period of time to cultivate talents for the local area, including the legal system.Gao Rou's family has learned laws and decrees, and he has experience in the Sikong Mansion. He is a very suitable talent. He hopes to be transferred to Lingling to serve as a sacrificial wine, and to familiarize himself with the local situation by the way.If he is competent, he will be transferred to the post of Sikong Funan Changshi in the future.

After drafting the edict, Jia Xu happened to come, and Liu Xie showed the edict to Jia Xu, hoping to hear his opinion.

After reading it, Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "Why is there a long history in the south of Sikong Mansion? It's better to build a law school and let him serve as the sacrificial wine and be responsible for the reform of the law. Ever since Dong Zhongshu reformed the Confucian school and sentenced him to prison in the Spring and Autumn Period, so far For more than three hundred years, the accumulated evils have been deep, and it is time for reform."

Jiang Wan, the new minister who wrote the imperial edict, immediately became violent after hearing this.

"Is the Taiwei trying to dig the foundation of Confucianism?"

Liu Xie and Jia Xu glanced at each other, smiled in unison, and then said in unison: "Yes!"

　On the first day of December, it is customary to ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!
