Yizhou people are of course willing to pay a price for high-quality educational resources, even if the price is very expensive and makes them feel painful or even broken.
But if you can catch up with Liu Bei's relationship and get on the official express train, then the price is definitely worth it, even worth it.
They gave Liu Bei grain, Liu Bei silk, Liu Bei brocade, Liu Bei rare treasures, and five baht. They were willing to give Liu Bei anything, and they were willing to give it in large amounts and in excess.
As long as Liu Bei is willing to accept their children into Liangzhou Prefecture School and give them a little special attention.
They have no shortage of these things, and they have many channels to obtain these things, but they have no channels to obtain the things Liu Bei masters.
So he came to Yizhou to fight a battle. Liu Bei hardly put any money into it, but he also gained some valuable things for Liu Bei.
There was no need to sell salt to Shu, and Liu Bei basically achieved his goal.
As for selling salt to Shuzhong, Liu Bei decided to put it on hold for the time being. He could just talk to Liu Hong and Zhang Rang at that time. There is no need for practical operations for the time being. When the salt resources in Shuzhong are controlled, the technology can be directly introduced.
Yes, there is no need to transport it all the way.
Throughout the entire schedule in Shu, Liu Bei did not feel any discomfort. The people of Shu treated Liu Bei with great enthusiasm.
If there was anything wrong, only one family had a bad feeling for Liu Bei.
The Zhang family in Chengdu, Shu County, the Gongyang Chunqiu family, lost its status as a powerful family due to Liu Bei's efforts. It was one of the families that suffered heavy losses. It is natural for them to be full of resentment towards Liu Bei.
But because of Liu Bei's current status and power, as well as the power of winning battles in Shu, Zhang did not dare to do anything to Liu Bei.
It is worth mentioning that although the Zhang family has lost its status in the Yue family, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. In Shu County and even the entire Yizhou, the Zhang family is still a very famous family and controls a lot of the economy.
Interests and relatively large local power.
Despite this, they did not dare to do anything to Liu Bei. The so-called county magistrates are not as good as being in charge. For Liu Bei, a general who entered Yizhou with heavy troops to quell the rebellion, they wisely stayed away and did not publicly embarrass Liu Bei.
Otherwise, they were not sure whether Liu Bei would do something to them with the power and troops in his hands.
Even just a little bit would probably make them feel very uncomfortable.
The reason why Liu Bei knew that they were full of malice was because there were rumors in Chengdu that the Zhang family was dissatisfied with Liu Bei and said a lot of bad things about Liu Bei in private, calling him a successor to false learning and so on.
Liu Bei laughed it off and acted magnanimously.
"I observe people, not words, but actions, and what's the problem with my quick tongue? The ancients even knew that it is better to guard against people's mouth than to guard against rivers. How can I block other people's private communication? What do they want to say?
, just say it, I don’t care.”
When people heard about it, they all admired Liu Bei's magnanimity.
But Liu Bei did not have to pursue the case, but there were many people who successfully established relationships with Liu Bei. The locals in Yizhou who were eager to please him were dissatisfied with the Zhang family and sent people to shout and curse outside the Zhang family's mansion, making the Zhang family very embarrassed.
The general trend is with Liu Bei. They can't even guarantee that what they say in their private homes will not be spread to outsiders, let alone the anger of outsiders?
Liu Bei didn't care about the loser.
In early July, it was extremely hot in Sichuan.
Liu Bei has almost accomplished what he wanted to accomplish. The bamboos that should be cut down have almost been cut down, and the teams that should set out have almost set off. He is already the last group of people to leave Shuzhong.
So Liu Bei decided to say goodbye and leave Shuzhong. A large group of Shuzhong celebrities led by Gao Yu shed tears and sent Liu Bei thirty miles north of Chengdu, and then reluctantly watched Liu Bei leave.
After embarking on his return journey, Liu Bei wanted to make a perfect summary of his journey to Shu, and then gain a wave of fame, reshape his image in front of his subordinates, and enhance everyone's admiration for him.
Therefore, he exerted his shameless Wenzhaogong spirit and reproduced "The Road to Shu is Difficult" written by Lord Shixian.
This poem follows the old title of Yuefu, uses romantic techniques to develop rich imagination, and perfectly fits the persona of a romantic poet that Liu Bei created for himself in Luoyang.
Although Liu Bei did not often engage in the matter of copying documents, he had long since lost all worries. Unless His Excellency Shixian also traveled through time, no one would trouble him.
So, I’m sorry, Sir Shixian, I’d like to lend you a helping hand!
After arriving at Baishui Pass, while the entourage took a short rest, Liu Bei and a group of his subordinates boarded the Baishui Pass Gate Tower.
"Along the way, I have seen how difficult the road to Shu is, and I have walked it under my feet. It is still so difficult for today's people to march through it. How did the ancients who did not even have the road today manage to navigate among these mountains and rocks?
Who opened up all these roads?"
Liu Bei raised this question in front of countless subordinates who were following him.
Yan Wen had a relatively broad range of knowledge, so he answered.
"It is said that the Golden Bull Road we are walking on was opened under the order of the King of Shu of the ancient Shu Kingdom. At that time, the King of Shu already had a place to praise Han people. When he was hunting, he met King Hui of Qin, and the two became acquainted.
Later, the Qin State prepared to attack the Shu State, but the road to Shu was extremely difficult and the Qin army could not pass, so someone gave advice to King Qin Hui.
So King Hui arranged several stone cows at the meeting place of the two kings, and placed some gold under the tails of the stone cows, claiming that the stone cows could pull out gold. King Shu was greedy for gold and wanted to take the stone cows away, but
At that time, the road was difficult and dangerous, and the stone oxen could not transport it.
So the King of Shu ordered five Ding warriors to lead more than a thousand people to dig mountains and open a road to welcome the cattle, and the Golden Bull Road was born. Later, the Qin army followed the Golden Bull Road from Hanzhong to attack Chengdu, destroying the ancient Shu kingdom, occupying the land of Shu, and laying the foundation for
Leaving Hangu Pass in the east is the basis for unifying the world."
Liu Bei smiled.
"Speaking of it this way, is this Golden Ox Path still the root cause of the demise of the ancient Shu Kingdom?"
"The legends of future generations cannot be taken seriously."
Yan Wen smiled and said slowly: "How can a king entrust his military affairs to such a thing? The construction of the Shu Road is nothing more than the Shu people and the Qin people who want to communicate with each other and exchange what they have. Of course the Shu people
We also know the dangers of digging roads, so we set up many barriers."
Yan Wen stretched out his hand and patted the bricks of Baishui Gate, sighing very much.
"But we still find it difficult to walk on the Shu Road. How much manpower and material resources were spent on supervising and building these passes and military towns in those days? The Shu Road is still too difficult. Whether the army is transporting grain or the merchants are passing by, it is still difficult for people today.
It’s difficult, let alone the ancients.”
Everyone sighed deeply at Yan Wen's sigh.
Jia Xu, Xun You, Xun Yu, Han Hao... they were all sighing.
"But this road has finally been opened. After eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, there is finally more than one way to go out."
Liu Bei smiled and patted the bricks of Baishui Pass: "There is no road in the world. When there are more people walking, there will be a road. The key lies in people, not in hardships and dangers. Nothing is difficult in the world. As long as you are willing to climb, the ancients took it one step at a time.
We have dug the road to Shu, step by step, we will eventually be able to create miracles, please encourage me together!"
"only!"
The subordinates all bowed their hands to Liu Bei and saluted, their eyes full of reverence.
Okay, now that you’re full with chicken soup, you can start your post-meal exercise.
Liu Bei laughed.
"But speaking of it, the difficulty of the Shu Road is really unforgettable. After walking it once, you don't want to walk it a second time. If you have to walk it a second time, how difficult will it be? Everyone, Shu Road
It is more difficult than reaching the blue sky!"
Saying this, Liu Bei turned his back to everyone and suddenly shouted loudly.
"Ahem, how dangerous it is! The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky!"
Everyone was confused about what Liu Bei meant, and when they were about to ask, Liu Bei spoke again.
"With silkworms and yufu, how confused was the founding of the country!"
"You are forty-eight thousand years old, and you are not in the vicinity of Qin Sai!"
"There is a bird path in Taibai, Xidang, which can cross the top of Emei! The earth collapses and the mountains kill the strong men! Then the stone stacks of the ladder to heaven are connected together!"
"There is a high standard for the six dragons to return to the sun above, and there is a rushing wave and reverse return to Sichuan below. The yellow crane cannot fly past, and the ape is trying to survive its sorrow!"
"There are piles of blue mud, and there are nine twists and turns in the hundreds of steps, and the rocks are lingering. I go to the Lijing Well and look up, sigh, and sit with my hands on my head and sigh..."
While Liu Bei was patting the bricks of Baishui Pass, he was walking slowly under the gaze of everyone, patting one step at a time.
Catchy words came out of his mouth one after another, his voice was loud and full of energy.
"How can a great army return after a hundred battles? I am afraid that the road is too steep to climb, but I see sad birds calling ancient trees, male and female flying around the forest, and I hear Zigui singing about the moon at night, and I feel sad about the empty mountain!"
"The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the blue sky! It makes people wither their beauty!"
"The sky is not full even when the peaks are gone; withered pines hang upside down and lean on the cliffs; turbulent waterfalls compete with each other; the cliffs turn into rocks and thousands of valleys are filled with thunder! The same is true of the dangers, and those who have traveled a long way have come here for no reason!"
Word by word, Liu Bei blurted out words as he walked slowly, as if nothing could stop him from speaking out in full detail, expressing his feelings about the way of Shu in his heart.
The subordinates were already intoxicated and could not help but follow Liu Bei's footsteps and move forward slowly.
Ruan Yu, the number one fan, was even blushing and couldn't contain his excitement. He only saw Liu Bei's figure, heard only Liu Bei's powerful voice, and felt only passionate emotions in his heart.
This was the first time that he witnessed his idol speaking out such magnificent fantasies and powerful words.
And it’s still in front of his eyes!
He witnessed it all with his own eyes!
After Liu Bei confided everything, Ruan Yu was already overcome with emotion. He stepped in front of Liu Bei, blushed and knelt down in front of him. He took out a stack of bamboo paper that he carried with him, raised his hands, and said to Liu Bei
spread out in front of you.
"Your Majesty! I also ask Your Majesty to put the calligraphy you just made on paper! Please give me a calligraphy treasure so that Yu can have a look! If you can't, Yu will be like a thousand ants eating his body! He will die from this!"
As Ruan Yu said this, tears burst out of his eyes, and he actually cried in front of Liu Bei. He cried very loudly and collapsed.
Was he actually so destroyed by Shixian's talent?
Li Taibai, you are truly a rare talent in the world that is rare in a thousand years!
While sighing with emotion, Liu Bei nodded shamelessly, asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and under the admiring gaze of everyone, he wrote the song "The Road to Shu is Difficult" in one go.
Then he wrote the name [Liu Bei] shamelessly.
After finishing writing, Ruan Yu held the poem in his trembling hands, looking at the powerful words with a crazy look on his face, and tears kept pouring out.
He felt infinitely excited that he had witnessed this scene that would eventually go down in history.
The rest of the people came forward to watch, looking at the calligraphy written by Liu Bei himself with envy, and their eyes were full of greed, and their eyes all revealed that they wanted to take it for themselves.
But Ruan Yu held this "calligraphy treasure" tightly, admiring it while scanning the unfriendly crowd around him with extremely cautious eyes. He seemed to know the thoughts of these guys very well, and slowly distanced himself from them.
.
Want this calligraphy treasure?
Okay, step over my corpse!
At this time, only Jia Xu walked up to Liu Bei in time, took the pen from Liu Bei's hand, and then quietly stuffed the pen into his sleeve.
He thought he had done it very secretly, but Xun You walked up to him with a smile on his face.
"Jia Canjun, although that pen is not a valuable object, it was used by the monarch. Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to keep it private? Why not take out the pen and give it to everyone to see?
"
Jia Xu glanced sideways at Xun You.
"Xun Canjun was joking. I saw that the prince has not cleaned the pen after using it. I am going to clean it for the prince and return it to the prince after washing."
Xun You continued to smile like he was smiling.
"Hahahaha, Jia Canjun is really good at sharing the worries of the prince, but for such a small matter, it is better to leave it to someone later to complete it. Jia Canjun has a lot of things to do every day, and there are still many things to do, isn't it?"
Jia Xu also showed the same smile.
"Xun Canjun also has a lot of things to do. Although Xun Canjun has to serve the emperor a little later than me, he still has a lot of things to do. You should leave these small things to me."
The two of them looked at each other with narrowed eyes, and it was obvious that they both understood the true purpose of what the other did.
As the initiator of all this, the shameless Mr. Liu is still complacent and feels very happy for his flawless performance.
He knew that his charm as a leader-level figure had been fully activated at this moment.
For these elite subordinates who have greater emotional needs besides profits, in addition to creating an image of a strong and fair and strict lord, they also need to create an image of a charming man. Only in this way can their loyalty be maintained to the maximum extent.
The existence of the metaphysics of charm is difficult to explain clearly, but once it is possessed, it will have an even more incredible and strong attraction to the elite talents under its command.
Political games in the real world are much more difficult than video games. Loyalty cannot be won by rewards. Elites need many things, which are complex and mysterious. If they are not satisfied, they will become dissatisfied and fall apart.
But for Mr. Liu, who has the ability to cheat, it may not be that difficult.
