Han Dao world

Chapter 1235
Liu Xie explained arithmetic to the students in the martial arts hall, originally for the purpose of cultivating talents and speeding up the upgrading of military technology.But in the eyes of some people, this has become a shortcut to get close to the emperor, or the so-called honor, and they do everything possible to squeeze their children in.

Especially those who wanted to test loose riding but failed to do so.

This caused a lot of trouble.

The mathematics taught by Liu Xie has exceeded the standard of "Nine Chapters", and it is out of the practical category, which is a bit difficult for ordinary people.They don't understand and the pressure is very high.Liu Xie had to slow down his progress to take care of them, and it was very uncomfortable.

However, those students who are really capable of engaging in military technology research sacrificed their efficiency and failed to acquire more knowledge.

Liu Xie regretted it very much and was determined to change this situation, conduct entrance examinations, and keep those who are not qualified.

Talent and foundation are the only criteria, and entering the martial arts hall cannot become another privilege for the children of the rich and powerful.

Yu Fan has long been displeased with those students with insufficient IQ, and wished for Liu Xie's decision.He promised too readily, which made Liu Xie a little worried, and asked Yu Fan to let him take a look after he prepared the test questions.

Yu Fan laughed out loud, agreed, and then asked another question.

Whether to accept more female trainees.

Almost all the lecture halls are men, and the only few women are all researching and developing ordnance.Sun Shangxiang is a special case, but she is Yu Fan's apprentice, so she is different.The other cadets who aimed to lead the army were all men, without exception.

Yu Fan also disapproves of women entering martial arts halls, except for those who develop ordnance.

Judging from the experience of the past few years, women are not inferior in intelligence except that they are inherently inferior in physical strength.In addition, they do not have the ambition to lead the army, but they can study ordnance with more peace of mind, and it is easier to achieve results.

Zhen Mi is an example of this. At least one-third of her helpers in the construction of the bridge in Wancheng are women.

He also found that men were more motivated by programs that included women.

Liu Xie agreed.He has not restricted gender from the very beginning, but people's ideas have to be adjusted, and there are still not many people who are willing to send women to school.At present, most of the women who enter the martial arts hall are the wives and daughters of generals. They enter the martial arts hall so that they can go out with their families in the future, without having to live in two places.

If a woman is willing to enter the martial arts hall, he can't ask for it.

He even hopes that there will be women who learn how to use soldiers, and in the future, they will be on the battlefield and become heroines that the big men will not give up. So that the deeds of Ma Yunlu and Lu Xiaohuan will not become swan songs.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Jiaozhou sent good news, and Sun Ce captured Guangxin, the prefecture of Cangwu County.

The fly in the ointment is that because of the resistance, the casualties were relatively large, and the soldiers used extraordinary methods and acted excessively.

In short, it was a massacre.

In particular, Shi Xie's clansmen who stayed in their original place were all killed.

From the moment he saw the battle report, Liu Xie had a headache.

Regardless of the reason, massacres are an unacceptable atrocity.But he didn't intend to criticize Sun Ce either. Sun Ce had been aggrieved in the past few months, and it was expected that he lost control when he encountered fierce resistance.

The military discipline needs to be rectified, just in time to deal with the Liangzhou garrison nuisance case that is about to be closed, so as to warn the entire army.

This matter can be taken care of by Taiwei Mansion and Sikong Mansion.

What surprised him was another point: the situation had developed to this point, and there were still people in Guangxin who resisted fiercely.

Reminiscent of the reaction of the counties in Jiaozhou, Liu Xie couldn't help being suspicious. The influence of the scholar family in the local area is so great?

He discussed with Jia Xu and sent someone to investigate and find out the situation.

This task fell on the shoulders of Shi Laigong, the commander of the Taiwei Mansion who had just joined the post.

Lai Gong was from Lingling. He had been attached to Liu Biao before and was appointed governor of Jiaozhou by Liu Biao.The two attacked each other, and Lai Gong was defeated. He abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown, where he rested for several years.

After Liu Xie arrived in Lingling, Lai Gong became an official again, serving as the official history in Taiwei's mansion.Ling Shi is a humble official, and Lai Gong is of course unwilling to be reconciled when he reaches middle age, but his previous resume was under Liu Biao's command, so it doesn't count in the court, so that's all he can do.

Now that he has the opportunity to make meritorious service, he certainly wishes for it and is very active.

-

Soon after Lai Gong set off, Liu Xie received letters one after another, most of which condemned Sun Ce's massacre of the city.

Some people even said that it was because of Sun Ce's brutality that the Shixie brothers did not dare to surrender and Jiaozhou refused to accept it.If the court switched to benevolent and righteous generals, Jiaozhou would not have to fight at all, and would immediately become a minister.

For such memorials, Liu Xie will not publish them, nor express any opinions, just pretend that these memorials have never appeared.

He wanted to see who was complaining for the Shi Xie brothers.

-

Luoyang.

Xun Yu arched his hands and stood on the ridge of the field, looking at the endless wheat fields, his brows were furrowed.

This year's counting has been completed.After a year of hard work, Henan Yin's tax has increased by [-]% this year, basically meeting expectations.If there is no accident, next year's harvest will be better than this year's, and the promotion of new technologies will bring greater benefits. The goal of doubling in two years is completely achievable, so he shouldn't be so worried.

He was worried about Jiaozhou.

Sun Ce and Shi Sunrui marched in parallel, but the Shi Xie brothers couldn't resist. After Yulin, Cangwu, and Jiaozhi fell successively, they retreated to Rinan and Jiuzhen, and at the same time asked for help, hoping to get a pardon from the court. Well, you can keep your official position.

It was Liu Tao's son Liu Yang who rushed to Luoyang to find Xun Yu.

Liu Yang once studied with Liu Tao, and he and Shi Xie were regarded as the same school.The Shi Xie brothers send people to Yingchuan to give gifts every year, and he is also on the list, and the benefits are quite rich.

"How long is Fu Jun going to be silent?" Seeing that Xun Yu remained silent, Liu Yang lost his composure. "Wait until Sun Ce slaughters Panyu, Xupu, and Xijuan?"

Xun Yu turned to look at Liu Yang with a helpless expression. "Yuan Mao, if you want to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of Guangxin massacre, the best way is to surrender immediately instead of bargaining with the emperor. Do you think they still have a chance to bargain now?"

Liu Yang's face darkened. "Your Majesty's words, I'm sorry Yang disagrees. Even if you don't care about Brother Shi Xie, don't you care about those people from the Central Plains who took refuge in Jiaozhou? Do you know that among the people who were killed by Guangxin, I, Ru Ying, was a talented person?"

"I know, but..."

"But they deserve to die, don't they?" Liu Yang was furious. "Not everyone is as foresighted as Fujun, who has long seen the wisdom of the emperor and put it into effect in time. But this does not mean that they should die, and they are slaughtered like pigs and dogs by warriors like Sun Ce. As a gentleman , don’t you have any compassion?”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xun Yu to answer, Liu Yang flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

"The ways are different, so we don't conspire with each other. The Fujun doesn't want to save people, and I don't dare to force it. I will find other ways. But if the Fujun returns to his hometown in the future, if there is something unpleasant, I can't blame others."

Xun Yu raised his arms to shout, thought for a while, and then put them down again.

Xun Mata, who was waiting on the side, came over, glanced at Liu Yang's back, and said unhappily, "Aunt, why are these people so hateful? Aunt allowed so many people to live and work in peace and contentment, but they turned a blind eye. Aon did not I would like to save a few scholars who are willing to die by themselves, and they will come here from a long distance."

Xun Yu touched Xun Yu's little face and sighed. "Yeah, these people only see themselves and no one else."
