Shao Xun left Jinyang at the end of October.

Before starting his journey, he spent most of his time visiting the counties of Taiyuan, not only the military families, but also ordinary households and Loufan, which gradually became the third largest herdsman in the Daliang Dynasty.

There are currently more than 20,000 military horses, thousands of cattle and more than 100,000 sheep in this prison.

If Guangchengyuan’s main task is to cultivate military horses, horses, and plough oxen. Zuoguoyuan mainly cultivates horses and plough horses, Loufanjian is now increasingly tending to study sheep.

The main technical requirements are three points: one, produces a lot of hair; two, long hair; three, thin and soft.

While cultivating yourself (needs luck), you can also try your best to introduce foreign sheep seeds.

A small sheep may sometimes affect the national destiny.

The Ottoman Turkish Sultan sent a batch of sheep to Spain, but he did not expect that one of the ewes was pregnant and eventually gave birth to lambs in Spain, causing the Ottoman Empire to exodus the goat breed that was proud of.

In the 18th century, Spain sentenced all those who exported merino sheep abroad to death.

High-quality genetic resources are so precious.

After doing this, Shao Xun ordered Kaiping to slowly fill the Puyang Cang (located in the mountains northwest of Jinyang) in 7th and 82nd. After leaving the King of Han in Puyang, he went south to Shangdang, Henan and returned to Luoyang under the 10th camp Xinjun, Heishao Zhongying, Yi joined the army, Youzhou Tuqiu Governor, and his personal army.

In mid-November, I arrived in Gaodu County while walking and stopping.

After returning to his territory, Liu Runzhong slaughtered pigs and sheep, paid out of his own pocket, and invited more than 30,000 soldiers of the entire army to drink and eat meat.

Shao Xun was not interested in this, so he only took a few sons around the countryside to understand the people's sentiments.

There is no special preparation, just say whatever you see, and then explain the deep truth to your sons. Sometimes they will test their ability to learn from each other and deepen their impression.

Liu Runzhong's third son, Liu Quan, the prefect of Shangdang, the fourth son, Gao Du Ling Liu Hui and Liu Xiao, who was specialized in the sale of cheese in Gao Du, accompanied him and became familiar with each other.

"I've gone before, and the willows are swaying. Now I'm here to think about it. The rain and snow are falling—" Next to the post road, there were about ten children following a young man who was not much older than them, reciting ancient poems in unison.

Shao Xun reached out to stop the whispers of others, called Gao Duling Liu Hui, and asked, "Who is this?"

Liu Hui took a look and said, "Ji Yu, a Ph.D. from Gaodu County, is from Liangzhou. He is about fifteen years old. This year, he has passed the two classics and has served as a Ph.D. in the county."

Shao Xun was shocked when he heard this.

After calculation, Ji Yu became a disciple of the Taixue School at the age of 11. He tried to understand the sutra at the age of 13 and became a disciple of the Taixue School. He tried to understand the two sutras at the age of 15 and became an official, a child prodigy!

Liu Hui glanced at Shao Xun and said, "Former Liangzhou Governor Zhang Jun has a daughter, twelve years old. I heard that she had a engagement with Ji Yu since childhood."

"Oh, Zhang Jun's son-in-law." Shao Xun smiled and said, "Not bad."

"The county students followed by Dr. Ji." Liu Hui introduced: "It is mostly the children of nobles from various departments. It is not a big deal to gallop and hunt horses in the countryside. The previous court sent Mengyang and Yunshu to each county, and my father wrote a letter back and ordered Shangdang and Kelan,

The nobles of emerging departments were selected to send their legitimate children to the county school and study in the county school."

"Liu Qing is indeed loyal to the country." Shao Xun praised: "But "Mao Shi" is not a care book, right?

"These people have already known some words, so while teaching Mengyang Books, they will also teach some other things. Dr. Ji said that taking the children out for a walk and learning "Mao Shi" will be twice as effective as half the effort."

This is the educational method of aristocratic families.

There are too many animals, plants, mountains, rivers and rivers in the Book of Songs, which are very suitable for educational and entertaining, allowing children to understand on the spot and deepen their understanding.

But there are not many people who can teach "Mao Shi", and it is even more difficult to take the children out for a trip.

Therefore, there are only a dozen students in Gaodu County, most of whom are powerful and noble children of tribes. Perhaps they have to sponsor a lot of money and food so that the school can be better maintained.

Education has always been a very resource-consuming thing.

"How about private schools except for official schools?" Shao Xun asked.

"After all, Shangdang is still a poor place. Private schooling is not popular, so only a few famous people open a library to teach their disciples." Liu Hui replied: "The children of various tribes are not willing to go to official schools and study in private schools, but they enjoy driving horses and hunting."

"How many students are there in the county school?" Shao Xunwen asked.

"It's just three or five people."

"It's too late." Shao Xun said: "How can you understand things without studying? If you don't understand things, it's hard for me to make them an official.

If you rely solely on military merits to enter the officialdom, your path will be narrower. Besides, if you don’t have a lot of knowledge, even if you have military merits, you will not be promoted. Isn’t that a pity?"

"Your Majesty said it," Liu Hui said.

Being a general and becoming a prime minister is a beautiful vision, but if you don’t have culture, even if you have a lot of military achievements, can you become the prime minister? The prefect,

It’s hard for a county magistrate!

Shao Xun continued to move forward and soon came closer to the students.

"Greetings to Your Majesty." Ji Yu brought more than ten students to salute.

"No gift." Shao Xun smiled, then walked over, picked a child casually, and asked, "How old are you?"

"Ten years old." This man had a high nose and deep face. He was a typical Western Region Hu, but he was holding a Han hair accessories.

The same goes for clothing.

"How about reading?" Shao Xun asked.

The child was stunned for a while and said, "It's fun."

Shao Xun laughed and said, "Just fun. After going to county school, will you continue to study in the future?"

"Yes." said the child.

"Why?"

"My father sent a hundred sheep over. If he didn't read it, he would be tied up and beaten when he went back." The child replied honestly.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Shao Xun couldn't help laughing, touched his head, and said, "This is a very good reason. Since the family has spent so much money, it really needs to study hard. It would be fine if I have been studying for more than ten years. I hope that there are more and more scholars in the world, and it is best to have hundreds of thousands of people.

Too many scholars can't digest it.

It is not possible to have too few people, because the base of the group is too small and it is impossible to choose the best among the best. Only when the base is increased can higher quality talents be obtained.

The gradual increase in papermaking and woodblock printing production capacity is subtly changing the world. Technology and production capacity are indispensable. With technology alone but no production capacity, it cannot change this society.

Shao Xun called Ji Yu, a doctor of Gaodu County, to approach and asked with a smile: "Gaodu County, which I just came to this year?"

"It's been March." Ji Yu bowed and said.

"It's been eight months, how do you feel?" Shao Xun asked.

"I think running a school is a great thing that benefits the country and the people."

"What's the good thing?"

"It is like Shangdang, Jie, Wuhuan, and Xiongnu. The people are brutal and full of resentment. The ministers teach all the nobles and legitimate sons of each tribe, and they will return to the tribe to take control of power in the future. If they teach them well, the resentment will be reduced. This is a step-by-step process, and finally let the tribes bathe in the bliss of beauty."

"You are good at talking about changing customs and customs," said Shao Xun: "What is custom? Food, clothing, housing and transportation are customs,

Language, calligraphy, music theory, festivals are customs, and even the principles of dealing with people and life are customs. Teach and teach the tribes well to use their style of beauty. I have done little since the Han and Wei dynasties, but I can't delay it anymore. I remember you."

"I obey the order." Ji Yu bowed again and responded.

*******

In the late winter moon, Shao Xun came out of Shangdang, crossed Hanoi, and entered the boundary of Luoyang through the Heyang Sancheng floating bridge.

There has been a lot of ice on the surface of the Yellow River, which is much more than in the morning, indicating this different severe winter.

On the 24th, Hengchong Camp, which acted as a pioneer, arrived in the northern suburbs of Luoyang.

When thousands of Faxianbei soldiers arrived, they caused a sensation in Luoyang.

As a target of deliberate pursuit, Shao Xun personally placed the ten battalions in Shaoyuan, inside and outside Panyuan.

But who is Shao Zhe? How could he keep his subordinates idle? It is definitely not possible to eat for free.

On the 25th, the Minister of War Zuo Cheng visited Panyuan and distributed military resources to the Fifth Battalion of the Hengzhang, the Decisive Win, Huangjia, Xuanjia, and Shooting.

"It's made of a bowl, elm, and you can receive three liters of rice, one for each person."

"The bran bag can be wrapped around the waist, and can receive four or five liters of grain, one per person.

"Wearing felt, horse felt, people in winter, horses keep warm, and each person has one.

3

"There are one knife, file, pliers, drills, medicine bags, flint bags, salt bags, stones, etc., each of them is one of them.

2

"Food, one for ten people."

"The grass cutter, shovel, pickaxe, woodcutting axe, saw, chisel, big and small scoop, five people put one."

"Cloth trough (storage horse materials), one for ten people."

The officials of the Ministry of War sang famously, while the people of Luoyang who were temporarily recruited were unloading goods one by one.

These are all military funds taken from the Luoyang arsenal. I was afraid that the Hu people would not understand, so I explained it carefully.

The Hu people were indeed stunned, at least the loyal ministers of Pugu were very shocked.

Some of these things have been known and some have even used them. After all, the nobles of the tribe would provide them with equipment and after surrendering to the Great Shanyu of Emperor Liang, they added some more, but they were definitely not as complete as they received today.

Really surprised.
