He immediately asked people to arrange these things, and then began to consider candidates for the governor of Yizhou.
After choosing and choosing, Zhang Rang found that he had no reliable candidates.
Meng Tuo is a figure, but Meng Tuo needs to stay in Guanzhong as the chief planner and person in charge of the salt trade, and he cannot escape.
So Zhang Rang thought it over and arranged for his confidant Liang Hu to serve as the governor of Yizhou to clear the way for Liu Bei to sell salt into Sichuan and Sichuan.
Liang Hu is a reasonably sensible person, not very greedy, and always takes the overall situation into consideration, so it would be a good idea to arrange for him to help Liu Bei stabilize the situation in Yizhou.
On the other side, when Mr. Dong Fu heard that the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in Yizhou and Xi Jian died, he became very excited. He immediately inquired from many sources whether the imperial court had any idea of arranging Yizhou shepherds.
result.
When there was more news, the imperial court announced that Liang Hu, the Minister of Selections, had been appointed as the governor of Yizhou. This was followed by the imperial court's decision to appoint Liangzhou pastoralists, chariot and cavalry general Liu Bei to supervise Liang, and Yizhou soldiers.
Attack the Yellow Turban Army in Yizhou.
The two pieces of news were tied together, completely disrupting Mr. Dong Fu's plans.
As a person from Sichuan and Shu, although he has a high prestige, he has no say in this matter. He tried to go to General He Jin to discuss whether there was room for negotiation on this matter, but He Jin was very sorry.
means no.
"The emperor does not intend to continue to appoint the Yizhou Shepherd. Liu Bei, the Liangzhou Shepherd, is very capable and is trusted by the emperor. The emperor plans to use Liu Bei to pacify the Yizhou Yellow Turban bandits. Other than that, he has no other ideas. As for Yizhou
The governor, Liang Hu, belongs to the eunuchs."
Dong Fu heard this and was very worried.
"Previously, Xi Jian was a eunuch. He imposed tyranny in Yizhou and brought disaster to the countryside. How many lives were lost? Now that he is a eunuch, wouldn't it mean that Yizhou will be even more aggressive? How can Yizhou be stable?"
He Jin sighed.
"These things are decided by the Emperor, and they are not something we can change. I understand Dong Gong's worries, but the Emperor has made up his mind. No matter how hard we try, it will be difficult to achieve results."
Dong Fu knew that He Jin was powerless to do anything about these things, so he could only sigh, then stood up and asked He Jin to resign.
He Jin recommended him to the court. In a sense, He Jin was his candidate. Now that He Jin was so powerless, Dong Fu was deeply disappointed and decided to resign.
"I can't correct the gains and losses of Luoyang in my hometown, and I can't defend my hometown elders in Luoyang. I feel deeply incompetent, so I can only choose to die in my hometown, and I ask the general to agree."
He Jin was surprised and ashamed, and there was really no way to meet Dong Fu's expectations. He could only sigh and couldn't say anything to persuade him to stay.
Dong Fu's resignation greatly stimulated He Jin, making him feel that he, a general, lacked the confidence to do what he did.
In the past, great generals were powerful enough to dethrone emperors, dominate government affairs, become true rulers, and dominate the world.
But now, he, a great general, can only succumb to the eunuchs and obey their orders...
If he had not thought this way before, but now, as the general's term of office increased, He Jin's dissatisfaction with the eunuchs became more and more intense.
Why do I, a tall and dignified man, have to be restricted and suppressed by such a group of people?
Although I am a general, I cannot have the power that a general should have. Instead, I have to be controlled by others and obey their orders.
Whose problem is this?
But no matter how dissatisfied He Jin was, there was nothing he could do, because the person who could control his destiny was Liu Hong, and Liu Hong was obviously more willing to trust the eunuchs, so he would be suppressed by those eunuchs.
Not to mention Liu Hong, even his sister, the queen, trusted the eunuch's kindness and had great trust. What could his cheap brother do?
He really wanted to fight for his prestige in front of his subordinates, stand up once and prove his power and status.
Unfortunately, at present, he cannot do it.
If possible, he really wants to rise up once to prove that he is a trustworthy person and let more people invest in his general's palace to serve him.
But how exactly can we do this?
He Jin was dissatisfied and worried about his future and situation. At the same time, Yuan Wei was also dissatisfied and worried about his future and situation.
The promotion of "Guwen Shangshu" to replace "Ouyang Shangshu" did not succeed. This incident was a big blow to Yuan Wei. Although he was very efficient in getting started, people around him did not choose to leave him because of this failure.
But he was still very unhappy.
The only benefit from this failure was that it promoted the distrust of Lu Zhi among most of the families of the Ancient Literature School around him, making Lu Zhi completely excluded by the mainstream of the Ancient Literature School. Lu Zhi and the group of people around him were completely
Became a minority in the ancient literature school.
This means that Yuan Wei can even dominate the actions of the Ancient Literature School in a sense.
Coupled with the Yuan family's former officials and the military positions of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the Yuan family's power has grown unprecedentedly in Luoyang City.
It is precisely because of this that Yuan Wei was dissatisfied with previous failures.
He should continue to succeed rather than face failure. He hates failure and hates the feeling that things are beyond his control.
He felt very unhappy that he could not further consolidate the position he had just won as the actual leader of the Ancient Literature School.
Therefore, after hearing the news of Dong Fu's resignation, Yuan Wei, who knew some inside information, felt that the time might have come to leverage the eunuch's base.
Yuan Wei called Yuan Shao for this purpose, gave Yuan Shao some instructions, and planned to start making preparations to win over He Jin and promote He Jin's rebellion against the eunuchs.
As long as He Jin could leverage He Jin's dissatisfaction with the eunuchs, he could destroy the eunuchs' base.
By the time a series of orders to quell the Yizhou rebellion were conveyed to Liangzhou, it was already May of the fifth year of Zhongping.
At that time, in addition to promoting the great development of Liangzhou step by step, Liu Bei spent the rest of his main energy on the construction of state schools.
During this period, Liu Bei's team completed the production of bamboo paper relatively easily, using all the discarded bamboo slips accumulated over the years to create large quantities of bamboo paper.
Due to the lack of bamboo in Liangzhou, Liu Bei can currently only use discarded bamboo slips as raw materials to make bamboo paper. Fortunately, there are a large number of discarded bamboo slips in various government offices in Liangzhou, and there will be no shortage of raw materials for making bamboo paper for a while.
As far as the content of government governance is concerned, things that could be accomplished with the writing capacity of bamboo slips in the past can be completely covered by using paper with a writing capacity that far exceeds that of bamboo slips.
However, after Liu Bei took office as the shepherd of Liangzhou, his high demands on many government affairs greatly increased the amount of government affairs at all levels of Liangzhou officials, and there was a time when there were not enough bamboo slips.
For example, on the policy issue of encouraging childbirth, in order to register the birth status of the registered population in Liangzhou so as to facilitate the payment of government benefits, governments in various places were running out of bamboo slips.
Fortunately, the emergence of bamboo paper has temporarily solved this problem.
Bamboo paper, which is lightweight, easy to use and has a large load-bearing capacity, is a good supplement to the daily needs of the government, greatly reducing the pressure on the writing tools of the government in various places, and is very popular among officials.
However, there are still many problems in the production of bamboo paper.
The bamboo producing area closest to Liangzhou is actually Sichuan, which is Yizhou.
Liu Bei then planned to send people to Yizhou to purchase a large amount of bamboo to bring to Liangzhou. However, the mountains were high and the roads were far away, so it would be difficult to make the trip in a while, which made him quite troubled.
