I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 388 The people of the Han Dynasty are so kind

Just when Lu Bu wanted to recommend himself to Dong Zhuo and go to Sizhou to implement the imperial examination with military force, major incidents broke out in Chang'an and Luoyang respectively.

The Tai students in the two places started to make trouble.

As the number one institution of learning in the Han Dynasty, and at the same time carrying the largest number of students seeking officials in the world, Taixue has long been a gold-plated golden harbor for the children of major families in all states and counties.

As the first school of the Han Dynasty, before Xiaolian was promoted, almost all Xiaolians from all over the country would be gilded in Taixue as a stepping stone to enter the political field.

Today, the [-] Taixue students in the Taixue have all been selected through layers of selection, fighting openly and secretly, scrambling and fighting, and stand out from the crowd to enter this highest institution that represents the future.

When Dong Zhuo moved the capital, it is reasonable to move the Taixue.

However, among all the institutions in Luoyang, Taixue has the most complicated staff and is also the most bloated place, with more than [-] students alone.

Moreover, the Xiping Stone Classic has already been erected at the gate of Luoyang Taixue. With the current migration and preservation technology, if the Xiping Stone Tablet is forcibly moved to Guanzhong, it is likely to cause wear and tear on the stone tablet. Church senior people do not want to see.

Dong Zhuo just pushed the boat along the way.

For Dong Zhuo himself, he has always hated Taixue, the highest institution of the Han Dynasty, in his heart. In his opinion, the current Luoyang Taixue has completely lost its function of cultivating outstanding talents for the Han Dynasty. It is the cradle of cultivating disciples and old officials for the gate of high-level officials.

For this reason, Dong Zhuo set up a branch of Taixue in Chang'an. He used the Xiping Stone Classics and the lack of houses as excuses, but only moved a few thousand Guanzhong children, and most of the remaining Taixue students were left behind by him. Luo Yang.

Nowadays, no one knows which is the main school of Taixue, let alone the branch school of Taixue.

To be honest, he had already planned to abolish Taixue at the beginning of moving the capital, but there was no way to directly discuss this matter, so he had to adopt this method instead of including the main school of Taixue. In Chang'an, most of the Taixue institutions are still in Luoyang, and they will only be divided and eliminated in the future.

But in fact, Dong Zhuo's careful thinking could not be hidden from the aristocratic family, nor could it be hidden from those high school students.

In particular, most of the tens of thousands of Taixue students in Taixue are radicals.

It was not a day or two since the Taisheng students participated in politics in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Chen Fan, Li Ying and others fought against the eunuchs, and got the support and response of the Taisheng students, and the Taisheng students were also the targets of the eunuchs, and many of them were involved with the party members. People were imprisoned. In the first year of Xiping alone, more than a thousand Tai students were arrested and imprisoned by eunuchs.

It can be seen that Tai students have very strong experience in political struggle.

Dong Zhuo's evil intentions couldn't escape these people's eyes at all, and the students were just holding back their big moves and waiting.

Finally, with the implementation of the imperial examination, Tai students began to act!

They acted separately in Luoyang and Chang'an, and carried out a careful resistance plan against the imperial examination. For a while, both places were surging!
……

……

Ye City, in the meeting hall.

Su Shuang came to see Liu Jian today, and according to Liu Jian's request, reported the construction of Youzhou's port near the Bohai Sea and the design of ships.

Over the years, government agencies have been supervising the construction of Tianjin Port in cooperation with the Hebei Chamber of Commerce and Trade.

Logically speaking, supervising the shipbuilding industry is a big project, which is more laborious and costly. However, since the development of Hebei's mining industry, various downstream industries have been built, so that Hebei's trade with Xuzhou, Guanzhong and other places in the Central Plains has always been in a dominant position.

Even for the grassland alien races such as Xianbei, now facing the northern border of the Han Dynasty, the import trade volume has begun to show an astonishing increase.

Hebei's wealth is now soaring, which is also the key to Liu Jian's daring to develop the shipping industry.

Among them, in terms of foreign trade, the key lies in coal.

With the promotion of Xun Yu and others, the use of coal to make fire for the winter and the use of earthen kang gradually became popular in the north. Now it is not only in the territory of the Han Dynasty, but also abroad.

Liu Jian's way of doing business is quite unique. In terms of building houses on earth kangs, he didn't make any money from foreigners outside the Han Dynasty.

The kang technology is given free of charge, and even some foreign tribes do not have a mature housing system. The Youzhou government will take the initiative to send a "technical support team" to help them build houses and help them build the kang, Terrain sets up the proper pipelines and teaches them the principles.

People in the Han Dynasty did not hide their secrets. The technical aspects of building earth kang houses can be said to be taught by hand. As long as you want to learn, we will teach, and all of them are free, without taking a cent.

At most, you can take care of the food.

Under such a policy, the outsiders in the north have changed their views on the Han people. They think that the Han people are so kind!

In the past, foreigners in the northern border repeatedly plundered the border of the Han Dynasty, murdered people, robbed goods, and did all kinds of dirty things, but now these Han people, after their relationship with us has eased, not only do not hold grudges, but also teach us how to build earth kangs and earth houses!And you don't get a penny?
What a broad-mindedness this is!
However, as the adobe houses were widely circulated among the foreign groups in the northern border and accepted by most people, the business classics of the Han people began to appear.

Last winter, coal from the Han Dynasty was sold in the northern region at a very low price, which made most of the foreigners who owned the kangs live a very warm winter, and this winter was really comfortable!

They have never enjoyed such a warm winter that they are not afraid of the severe cold.

A happy life seems to be coming soon!
But after the spring, the price of coal in the Han Dynasty suddenly increased sharply!

And this price increase is suffocating, almost unbelievable!
Coal, which was so cheap last year, for some reason, came this spring, and the price has doubled by more than five or six times!
The grassland tribes panicked. Although they don't use coal now, once winter comes, their life will be difficult.

Moreover, the coal of the Han Dynasty government was monopolized by the government. In other words, there was almost no private coal in the Han Dynasty. Only before winter, the government would sell it to the private sector on demand.

In other words, the tribes on the grasslands had no place to rob coal if they wanted to rob it.

To rob ordinary people, they don't have it, and even if they have it, it's not enough.

Do you still go across Youzhou and go to Wuzhong County to mine the mining area?
That's basically a back and forth!

Xianbei, the Huns, and even Wuhuan, who is in the midst of a civil war, are panicking now!

All tribes, big and small, sent people to Youzhou to discuss the matter with Xun Yu.

If there were no earthen huts and kangs, and no coal, their life might have been like this.

But now, the thing has been in the hands of their people, and people of various tribes are widely promoting and using this thing, especially after experiencing a warm winter last winter, the majority of people of other races can no longer live without this thing.

This is not just a question of heating, but also something that keeps their lives alive in winter.

All the foreign envoys came to negotiate with Xun Yu, hoping that he could lower the price of coal.

Xun Yu also expressed to these people.It's not that he doesn't want to lower the price of coal, but that he really can't.

Xun Yu told these alien envoys.You don't even know how difficult it is to mine coal. This thing not only needs to be mined, but also needs to be processed. The manpower consumed is even far more than that of iron smelting.

It's not that I don't want to sell it to you guys at a lower price, but if I sell it to you at a lower price, then wouldn't we Han people lose money?
Then our Great Han Dynasty might as well not sell it.

The envoys of each tribe are people who have lived on the grassland all year round. Do you think they are simple-minded?It's not easy either.

But they absolutely can't figure it out in this matter, because the grassland people have never had any contact with graphite mining, including refining and processing.

They don't even know what graphite mine looks like.

So, Xun Yu kindly gave them an idea.

Look at our Han Dynasty, the mining of graphite mines in our own territory was so troublesome, it took a lot of time and effort, and it cost money. In the end, you still think it is expensive.

Otherwise, you also organize people to go to the grasslands in your territory to explore and explore.

Maybe a few graphite mines can be opened on the grassland.

At that time, when you all form a joint venture, you can produce people, process, and be self-sufficient. Our Han Dynasty is a state of etiquette, with benevolence and righteousness as our heart.

If you don't know how to mine or process, it doesn't matter, we will take care of the technology.

We can teach you how to do it.

Do you see if this idea works?
What Xun Yu said was hype, but a group of alien tribal envoys knew it very well.

What he said is definitely not good.

Where can I find coal mines?

If it's so easy to find, why are we talking to you here?
Seeing that his first suggestion was not supported by the alien messengers.

Xun Yu thought of another way.

In fact, this is the case. The five baht coins of our big men are relatively fine. Presumably you don’t have much in your hands, and the market for coal prices is also unstable.

If it doesn't work, we will set up a transfer station for foreign trade. If you foreign races do business with us, you can exchange your things for our coal?

When the foreign messengers saw it, they could only see it like this.

Then what do you want us to exchange with you in the Han Dynasty?

Xun Yu said, things from grassland tribes like yours are very limited to us. In fact, they are mainly cattle, sheep, horses, etc., right?

The envoys of the various tribes asked: Excuse me, what is the exchange value for coal, horses, cattle and sheep?
Therefore, Xun Yu probably told them an exchange ratio that the Han people thought was appropriate.

After hearing this, the grassland envoy almost vomited blood collectively.

Fangbo Xun, this is not acceptable.

If you use this method of exchange, our horses, cattle and sheep are simply not enough.

Xun Yu then shared an idea of ​​his own for the reference of foreigners.

Xun Yu said: I think that you people occupy the vast grasslands in northern Xinjiang. You don't raise cattle and sheep meticulously at all. You can come up with so many cattle and sheep just by grazing them in free range.

If you can carry out large-scale animal husbandry and organize farms on the grasslands according to the method of our Han people, and we Han people are teaching you food planting techniques, wouldn’t it be over for you to exchange the extra cattle, sheep and grain every year for coal?
