Liu Fan's face turned red and red. Obviously, he was surprised and angry at Xiang Mi's words. What was shocked was that a rough man like Xiang Mi had such insights. What was angry was that even Xiang Mi understood the truth, which must have been taught to him by Liu Yu. Liu Yu had never discussed or discussed these words with him.
Liu Yu looked at Liu Fan and said calmly: "A Fan, we have been together less and less over the years, and some things cannot be discussed on the table. After Jianyi succeeded, we wanted the eight brothers in Jingjia to return to their hometowns and become officials and gain power so that they would not be bullied. But as you said, the effect was not good in the end. You can think that this was a counterattack of the noble families, or you can think that this was our carelessness and did not protect our old brothers. But after the fat man and I analyzed it later, the conclusion was that our brothers lacked culture and lacked the political ability of governing the grassroots level. This is the reason why they were scattered to various villages and villages, bullying and defeating them."
Liu Fan gritted his teeth: "Since you know this reason, you should let the original old superiors and the old generals continue to take care of these brothers, and they should not be bullied after they go back."
Liu Yu shook his head: "This is not a fundamental solution, because in the final analysis, the soldiers are bullied because they are not educated enough and cannot govern politics. For example, the kind of villagers who do not understand the national law and rely only on their own blood and courage to resolve conflicts with their neighbors. When they meet villagers who are instructed and instigated and have conflicts with them, as officials, they have no solution. In most cases, they fight with others. Isn't this a reason to give people a handle and give people a crime? Or when they get to the local area, they only know how to practice martial arts, hunting, and not do production. Even if they don't know how many households in a village and a township, how can they be levied? Then they can't complete these tasks in the end and have to give up their officials and punish them. If they have culture and have enough sense of responsibility after returning home, and are willing to give up their lives and serve the country like in the army, how could this end? "
Liu Fan sneered: "The eight brothers in Jingba do not have aristocratic families. The aristocratic family has such a good life. No one has taught them to read and practice calligraphy since childhood. They also practice martial arts in the army and have no time to learn literature. Brother Jinu, after you want them to return to their hometown, you suddenly have the ability to govern and understand literature and write. Isn't it a bit too high?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "In the past, due to the urgent military situation, everyone only practiced military affairs after joining the army and had no time to read and write, which brought hidden dangers. But this situation will be solved in the future. Later, we organized a preface in Jingkou to give the children of meritorious soldiers the opportunity to go to school. Don't you know this?"
Liu Fan laughed: "Of course I know that this is Brother Ji Nu's move to make up for the failure of his brothers. I want to make up for the regret that the brothers did not live well after returning to their hometown after Jianyi. However, even the order you made was not tolerated by the noble families. Although you found Fan Jijiu and other doctors from Imperial College as teachers and sirs, it took less than three months for the Jingkou order to be closed. Because you want to fight Nanyan, you have to obtain the support of the noble families. If you close this order, you will not allow us soldiers and brothers to read. This is the condition of the noble families. What they want is cultural privileges, so that they can always maintain their unique advantages in governing the country!"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, that's what you said, but they can force me to close the order of Jingkou, but it is impossible to stop all kinds of orders, public schools, and official schools in the world, just like after I conquer Qingzhou, I can open the Lanxiang official school. Can anyone stop it?"
Liu Fan curled his lips and said, "The clerk was mostly the sons and nephews and aides of local powerful people in Qingzhou who had obtained the qualifications of officials, and the lower-class clerks went in to seek a way to become officials, but our soldiers and brothers might not have such benefits. After the Yan army, a few people entered this clerk. Can they become officials in Qingzhou? I'm afraid there are only hundreds of military officials, and these people are not the eight brothers of Jing, but most of them are the clerks who have mixed military merits with the army."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "But this is the beginning. We can let the gentry enter the official school today, and we can open a school in the army tomorrow, so that the soldiers can read and hold meetings in Jingkou to stop them. In order to educate the soldiers to be able to read and write, understand military orders, manage the logistics supplies of the army, and let the lower-level officers start to read and read, and then let these lower-level officers such as captains and deputy team members teach the soldiers of the same team to read and read. In this way, for two to three years in the army, we can at least recognize thousands of words, read documents, write laws and regulations, and then know some simple arithmetics and do a good job of statistics when collecting taxes. Being a village official or a town official is not a problem. A soldier without culture is destined to be stupid, while a military without culture has no future."
Liu Fan widened his eyes: "You, are you really going to let all the soldiers in the army read? "
Liu Yu nodded and said, "It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. To protect the interests of brothers, the best way is not to protect them and control them for the rest of their lives, but to give them various ways to make a living. Afan, if our Jingba brothers have culture and can become competent village officials, it is impossible to set up a trap for these local snakes to bully them. Of course, when we ask them to return home later, we should try our best to avoid letting households go to a strange village, and letting them go home together for three to five, so as to avoid the act of tigers losing to the wolves. As for the soldiers who have illegal people, they will be proud of their contributions and bullying the villagers after returning, we can also investigate and deal with the law, find some typical examples and publicize them across the country to serve as a warning. I believe that after the brothers learn culture and understand the law, they will know that the consequences of doing so are to lose their current wealth and safe life, and they will naturally be more restrained."
