Chapter 387 No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education

After dealing with Ren Qi and Jia Long casually, Liu Bei ordered the army to rectify the battlefield, sort out the prisoners, and then lead the troops back to the division.

When Liu Bei returned to Chengdu, Qianzhao had just arrived in Chengdu for a day, and when he saw Liu Bei, Qianzhao was dumbfounded.

"I thought I could fight a tough battle. When I went to Berkshire, I heard that the Yellow Turbans had attacked and killed the prefect of Berkshire. I thought they were really strong enemies, so I led the troops very cautiously. In the end After the battle, they will all be wiped out... What kind of waste is the Yizhou government army..."

Qianzhao was very emotional, not at all happy for his victory, only felt that his carefulness had fed the dog.

Now when I come to Chengdu to see that Liu Bei has finished cleaning up the horses, most of the time-consuming people are on the way, and I can't laugh or cry.

But that's not entirely a bad thing.

The ease of dealing with these grassroots teams just proves that the Liangzhou Corps under Liu Bei has completely broken away from the state of the grassroots teams and entered the professional player area. Only by dealing with the grassroots teams in a professional state can they achieve such a straightforward and thorough victory.

In other words, with the current strength of the Liangzhou Corps, it can already walk sideways in most areas of the Han Empire, and there are very few troops that can confront him head-on.

In terms of combat experience, only Luoyang's elite northern army and the battalions of Bingzhou and Youzhou can be compared with him.

It is not that there is no strong army in other regions, either the number is small, or it is not in the state of standing army.

There is no professional training, but the source of soldiers is excellent, that is not enough. A truly excellent and strong army requires not only excellent sources of soldiers, but also perfect training, perfect organization, and long-term maintenance.

Afterwards, Liu Bei handed over the related tasks of rectifying logistics and cutting bamboo to his subordinates, and asked Yan Wenwen to take the lead in organizing the army and prisoners of war to cut bamboo in Shu County, and then set off in batches. Return to Liangzhou.

For Liu Bei to bring all these captives back to Liangzhou, Gao Xuan was a little puzzled. He felt that it was very expensive and would be a big burden for Liu Bei. It might not be appropriate to do so.

Facing Gao Xuan's doubts, Liu Bei sighed.

"Life and people are very difficult. Most people are coerced into thieves. They don't want to rebel themselves. They just have no food. They just ask for a way to survive. If you give them a way to survive, you can keep yourself safe. After killing the chief culprit, give them a way to survive. If they can live, why let them die? One more person, one more labor, isn’t it?”

Gao Xuan didn't say anything other than expressing his gratitude for Liu Bei's benevolence. What he was looking forward to more was the papermaking workshop that Liu Bei promised to help him build.

With a papermaking workshop, he can make full use of the superior resources of Shu County to manufacture a large amount of convenient and easy-to-use paper, and then spread these papers widely to provide scholars with better writing tools.

At that time, what kind of cultural event will it be like?

In order to deal with the matter of bringing the captives back to Liangzhou, Liu Bei stayed in Chengdu for a period of time, and used military expenses to buy some food around Chengdu to subsidize the military supplies.

Out of gratitude to Liu Bei, Gao Xuan and Zhao Yao, the prefect of Guanghan, each supported Liu Bei with a part of food.

Gao Xuan also came forward to contact the major families in Shu County for Liu Bei, and took advantage of Liu Bei's prestige and the temptation of some educational resources to buy some grain from them at a lower price.

So Liu Bei successfully solved the food problem of bringing people back to Liangzhou.

As for those powerful families in Shu County, they are actually very willing to help Liu Bei in this matter. They are not worried that Liu Bei will speak to them, but they are worried that Liu Bei will not speak to them.

Liu Bei asks for something, and they can help. This is the kingly process of establishing a relationship.

After learning about Liu Bei's needs from Gao Xuan, a group of people were ecstatic, and with the intention of making good friends with Liu Bei, they sold grain to Liu Bei at a relatively low price, and also gave batches of additional grain as gifts in an attempt to make good friends with Liu Bei. This is in exchange for Liu Bei's favor and Liu Bei's relationship.

Liu Bei's power in Liangzhou does not reach Yizhou, but Liu Bei's state school in Liangzhou and his connections in Luoyang are what these powerful families who are interested in family development and growth are eagerly pursuing.

Liu Bei's power is local, but Liu Bei's influence can already spread throughout the country relying on "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu".

Because of some business contacts with Liangzhou, they have all heard about what Liu Bei did in Liangzhou, and also heard about Liu Bei’s centralization of power in Liangzhou and the establishment of state schools. Among them, they feel that Liangzhou people can get such good treatment from Liu Bei There are not a few.

They very much hope that they can pry some openings from Liu Bei, even if they are just a disciple of the Liu family, it is a way for their family.

In this regard, Liu Bei did not refuse, but readily accepted.

It is also a way for him to get some local connections in Yizhou to intervene in the situation in Yizhou. Although this way may not play a big role, there is still a big difference between having and not having.

As a result, the major families in Shu County were close to the water. While giving gifts and food to Liu Bei, they took their nephews to visit Liu Bei.

In order to obtain enough supplies, Liu Bei also intends to sell himself as goods for a good price, and also to try to sell more families and gather more wool, so he put on a pleasant appearance and met those who wanted to buy in Chengdu. Meet his people.

Liu Bei talked and laughed happily with those people, and his posture was friendly, so Liu Bei's reputation as a Lixian corporal soon spread.

So more people wanted to meet Liu Bei, and wanted to fight for the opportunity for their nephews to study in Liangzhou Prefecture. For this reason, some people even rushed over from Guanghan County and Qianwei County, just to see Liu Bei. , See if there is no good chance.

While Liu Bei had the idea of ​​plucking the wool to beat the autumn wind, he also had the idea of ​​accumulating contacts in Sichuan, so he also had a little thought to inspect those Shuzhong boys who were brought by their parents to visit him, quite a bit Thinking about schooling their knowledge and thinking ability.

After some investigation, he determined that the academic ability of the young men in the middle of Shu was obviously much better than that of the academic desert like Liangzhou, but for the core area of ​​the Central Plains, it was still a lot worse.

But this is not important, since you want to accumulate contacts in Shuzhong, you have to make a real gesture.

So after consideration, Liu Bei selected the children of more than 30 large, medium and small families, including Du, Fei, Li, and Zhao, from the families of Shu County, Guanghan County, and Qianwei County as disciples, and prepared to take them. Let's go to Liangzhou to enroll together.

For this reason, a large number of failed people felt very regretful and envious of this, while the selected people were overjoyed, and turned around and gave Liu Bei a larger amount of gifts and food.

Therefore, Liu Bei successfully paid for the expenses required for this expedition, and even the expenses for returning to Liangzhou with 30 captives were "reimbursed" by these more than [-] families and a group of other families who took advantage of them.

Xun Yu, Han Hao and others calculated an account in private, came to this conclusion, and then told Liu Bei the news with joy.

Liu Bei looked and looked at the results of their calculations, and then couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

No matter how poor you are, you can’t get poor education. This is really a good tradition. The poor dare not have poor education, let alone the rich?

As long as the education issue is properly handled, we are not afraid that the rich will not pay.

The "Liangzhou State University" he founded has super-high qualifications certified by the government, which is basically equivalent to a direct train to officialdom. In order to get on this car, Liangzhou people paid a lot of money, and there is no reason for Yizhou people not to pay. cost.
