Liu Xiang flipped through the yellow book of Yunfan Camp. There were more than 500 large and small ships, with 10,000 sailors in service and 5,000 sailors in training. They could carry 70,000 shi of food or more than 10,000 soldiers at a time.
There are two Shuizhai places, Yuguan and Dashi County at the southern end of the Liaodong Peninsula.
The Han Dynasty has opened up three important maritime routes: one is the north-south coastal route from Dandong, Liaoning in the north to the mouth of the Beilun River in Guangxi; the other is the route from the coast of Shandong through the Yellow Sea to North Korea and Japan; the third is the Maritime Silk Road.
That is, Xuwen and Hepu routes.
Unfortunately, during the Yanxi period of Emperor Huan, the Han Dynasty's national power was weakened, the world was in chaos, and sea trade was blocked, so these routes were gradually abandoned.
Youzhou's existing shipping route is the coastal waterway from Bohai Bay to Laizhou Bay. Even the Bohai Strait is not visited by anyone. It is only more than two hundred miles wide, and there are Miaodao Islands in between, so the distance is not far away.
Liu Xiang wants to reopen the route from Dandong to Qingzhou and Xuzhou. As for the route south to Yangzhou and to Japan, we need to look at the specific situation.
Dandong is Xi'anping, on the west bank of the Yalu River, where the Anping Army established military camps and stationed troops.
He flipped through the map and carefully checked the topography and landforms near the coast. Unfortunately, there were no hydrological records, nor star maps or needle maps.
The star chart is a chart that uses the stars in the sky to calculate the direction and assists navigation. The needle chart is a route chart, which uses silk thread to mark the waterway and is sewn on the sea map drawn on silk, so it is also called the needle chart.
He didn't have any of these. Youzhou's navigation technology was too backward, and it was still at the stage of observing the coast with the naked eye and sailing along the coast. The efficiency was too low, and he took a lot of unnecessary steps.
During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, sea trade declined, not as good as it did in the Western Han Dynasty hundreds of years ago. He had never heard of any names of large merchants. This blue ocean had great potential.
With previous route records, it shouldn’t be difficult to re-open.
Liu Xiang was thinking while looking through maps, annotations to water classics, and geographical records. His two secretaries, Tian Chou and Tian Yu, also followed suit and took notes.
While the three of them were busy, Liu Hong asked to see them.
Liu Hong was the chief administrator of Youzhou, but his main focus was on perfecting the calendar and studying arithmetic in the academy in the western suburbs of the county. Many people followed him to learn arithmetic, most of them were junior officials sent by Liu Xiang, Shu Zuo. These people studied
After completion, it will fill the gap of tax collectors, which will be the main force of his future tax collection team.
"Hong, meet the general."
"You don't need to be polite, Mr. Yuan Zhuo. How is the academy? It's not convenient for me to show up now. I haven't been there yet."
The academy is very important. There are great scholars Zheng Xuan and Liu Hong teaching students. Liu Xiang has been looking for those students and sent many of them, mainly because he wanted to open elementary school in various counties. Literacy was not easy in the Han Dynasty, and he had to learn every word.
It takes several years to learn just the common words.
The army has begun to teach literacy, starting with flags, establishment, military regulations, and everyone's names. There are not enough teachers, and the progress is very slow. Liu Xiang erected wooden boards in each military camp with military regulations written in big characters, so that
When the soldiers go out to drill, they should recite them accordingly. After understanding these words, they can change to others.
He was considering whether to write a three-character classic or a thousand-character classic. Many of the allusions in it would have to be changed, otherwise it would be ridiculous and ridiculous.
In order to improve the enthusiasm of the soldiers, when selecting officers, priority should be given to literacy, and interests should be combined with reality to motivate people. Indeed, many soldiers have become very hardworking.
He thought about inventing Pinyin, but it was unrealistic. Pinyin must be based on Mandarin. The Han accent is different from modern times and is out of date. If you want to promote Pinyin, you must first promote Mandarin. If you want to promote Mandarin, you must re-compile a dictionary. This is
The major project of changing the writing system is not as good as using the "Erya" and "Shuowen Jiezi" that existed in the Han Dynasty.
When he thought about the education issues in the military and civilians, he had a lawsuit on his forehead. It was too difficult. The national literacy program launched by New China was a damn great project. Its success will be beneficial to the present generation and will benefit the future. It is not even a miracle.
Pass.
Liu Xiang's mind was stuck on how to teach literacy, and he unconsciously became distracted. He didn't react until he felt someone nudge him.
"Don't blame Mr. Yuan Zhuo. As soon as I mentioned the academy, I was thinking about how to run schools in various counties." He sighed: "It's too difficult. My thoughts are so tangled that I got distracted. How rude, Mr. Yuan Zhuo.
Don’t be offended.”
"It doesn't matter, the general has the heart to educate his people, which is a great kindness." Liu Hong nodded and praised, and then advised: "This matter of education cannot be rushed, it must be done slowly. The general must know that haste leads to waste."
"Thank you Lord Yuanzhuo for your teaching."
Liu Hong waved his hands and started talking about business: "I have other important things to do here. Before the general went on the expedition last year, he used me as his envoy to marry the eldest daughter of the Zhen family. Unfortunately, he was interrupted by the imperial edict and the marriage was not carried out. This year the general returns
,Can this matter continue?"
"I still have to worry about Duke Yuan Zhuo running around. My intention to marry Mrs. Zhen has never changed and I will never break my trust."
"Okay, I will come to accept the offer. To be fair to the general, Mr. Yuan is going to marry me, and Zhen Bijia is very anxious, so he specially asked me to come and inquire. Since the general has not changed his mind about asking for marriage, I will reply to him.
So that he can feel at ease." Liu Hong left without any delay. He was a busy man and still had many difficult problems to solve.
Liu Hong walked for a long time, and Liu Xiang was still in a daze.
Something's wrong, Miss Zhao Ji is about to marry me, and Miss Zhen Jiang is about to marry me, but what am I doing? I'm rushing to open up a route and become the Pirate King?
Am I crazy or stupid? Is my hidden attribute a straight steel man? Or is it the alloy steel type?
It shouldn't be, I'm also a guy who is motivated by sex, and my behavior these days is illogical.
Do I have premarital phobia? I subconsciously want to escape from marriage?
Liu Xiang was very puzzled by his behavior.
His mind was very confused, and just like him, Cai Yan's mind was also very confused.
She sighed softly and put away the burnt tail. She originally wanted to play the piano to clear her mind, but she still couldn't settle down.
General Zhenbei, Jihou, Liu Xiang and Liu Yicheng, young heroes with great reputation, conquered the Qiang and Hu from the west, and expedition to the north of Xianbei. They have outstanding military achievements and have been granted tens of thousands of households. They must be heroes who will leave their names in history. How many girls in the boudoir dream about them.
A perfect lover, as my uncle said, it would be great to marry him.
"Ha." Cai Yan smiled bitterly, stroking the small fan in his hand with his green-white fingertips, feeling a little disappointed. He was already twenty-six years old, seven years older than him, and he was brought as a concubine, how could he not
Being despised?
She knew why she came, it was just a family marriage, there was nothing unacceptable, but she ended up being a concubine.
A concubine who serves someone with sex, but whose love fades and is loved, is ultimately just a plaything and cannot last long. One's own appearance can attract temporary love, but beauty is easy to age, and her youth is fleeting and will eventually pass away.
That's all, I just read and play the piano. For the rest of my life, I don't have to rely on men to survive.
"Feng Xi Feng Xi returned to his hometown and traveled all over the world to seek for his Phoenix. Even Sima Xiangru abandoned Wenjun at some point, so why bother asking for it?"
