222, Liu Bei's limit

When Chen Yuan taught the study of things to achieve knowledge, he also taught courses on housework, chemistry, and art.

To be honest, Chen Yuan now feels that the nine-year compulsory education is really too strong.

As long as you can pass the nine-year compulsory education, you can survive in society.

Although the nine-year compulsory education will not teach you any skills to make a living, it can teach you the basic knowledge of survival.

Be able to become a relatively complete person in a social sense.

Be literate in Chinese and Chinese, have basic logical thinking and basic aesthetic appreciation, and have a basically correct understanding of the world.

Isn't this enough?

These are enough.

In fact, high school education, university education and even higher level education are all about identifying talents.

Screening layer by layer, ultimately selecting elites from all walks of life.

The higher the education level, the more choices, the broader the platform, and the greater the potential for future achievements.

Of course, you must learn knowledge when you go to school.

Going to school may be useless, but knowledge is definitely useful.

The so-called theory that reading is useless is murdering the effect of knowledge on people.

Not having a degree does not mean that you have no knowledge, and not going to school does not mean that you are uneducated.

Always remember one sentence, knowledge is the ladder of human progress.

In China, the most cost-effective way to acquire knowledge is to go to school and pass the exams one by one.

Whether in ancient times or in modern times, this is the most cost-effective way for people to achieve class jump.

Chen Yuan feels that the teaching content for this group of young geniuses should be based on the teaching content of the nine-year compulsory education, with appropriate adjustments.

Of course, this set of textbooks can also be redeemed by Chen Yuan.

It was also said that this set of teaching materials requires quite a lot of points.

Basically all the points accumulated by Chen Yuan were used up.

Heartache, of course, is heartache.

But Chen Yuan felt it was worth it.

This set of teaching materials is what Chen Yuan is laying the foundation for Han's future.

He will teach these young geniuses first. Based on the intelligence of these geniuses, they may be able to finish learning this set of content in three or four years.

Then they can go out.

They will then teach the following disciples, and so on.

There will also be a branch branch behind Xiangyang Academy.

In less than ten years, Chen Yuan was able to cultivate a group of students who received nine years of compulsory education.

These students will be the foundation for the future prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

Chen Yuan believes that as long as he can hand over hundreds or even thousands of such students, he will be able to change the world.

Xiangyang Academy is actually the place where Chen Yuan trained himself theoretical supporters and disciples of the school.

Well, his school of thought is called the Study of Things and Knowledge.

In the following time, Chen Yuan spent most of his time in the academy.

Naturally, there are other people working at the Prefectural Mufu.

Except for Chen Yuan who would participate in some major events, Chen Yuan stayed away from all other matters.

For this reason, Chen Yuan had a detailed discussion with Liu Bei.

On that day, Chen Yuan specially found a sunny day and invited Liu Bei to the academy.

After brewing some fine tea that Chen Yuan had collected, he and Liu Bei began to have a long conversation.

Chen Yuan poured a cup of tea for Liu Bei and said: "Brother, I invite you to come here today. Yuan has something important to discuss with me."

Liu Bei took a sip of tea and couldn't help complaining: "Fourth brother, you are really hiding these days. Do you know how busy my eldest brother is?"

Chen Yuan smiled when he heard this: "Brother, as the envoy of a state, isn't it your duty to be busy?"

Liu Bei glanced at Chen Yuan angrily: "You are still a military commander, and you are not driving in Jingzhou. Why don't I see you so busy?"

When Chen Yuan saw that Liu Bei was very resentful, he quickly apologized and said, "Isn't it that the elder brother feels sorry for me? I am very grateful to the younger brother."

Liu Bei waved his hand: "Okay, fourth brother, stop pretending. I've seen it a long time ago. You're just lazy. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

When Chen Yuan heard this, his face straightened, and he said solemnly: "Brother, I wonder what you think of our future development path in Jingzhou?"

Liu Bei glanced at Chen Yuan: "Fourth brother, what do you think?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "A few days ago, when we discussed the general trend of the world, brother, you also listened. What do you think of what I and the gentlemen said?"

Liu Bei was silent.

It is an indisputable fact that the Han Dynasty was weak.

Liu Bei is now helpless.

Because he is just a pastor of Jingzhou, not a prime minister of the imperial court, nor a general.

It is impossible today to make Liu Bei prime minister or general.

Since the Han Dynasty, no one from the Liu family has been a prime minister or a general.

Because this is simply impossible.

The reason is simple: the prime minister or general has too much power.

Once the Liu family is allowed to sit in this position, will they be able to sleep that day?

There will be a new emperor in a minute.

The Seven Kingdoms Rebellion made all the subsequent emperors of the Liu family very vigilant, and they were also wary of their own people.

However, by the Eastern Han Dynasty, the strength of the princes and kings in various places was already very weak.

Basically, the possibility of rebellion by the Liu family princes was eliminated.

But that would definitely not allow an old Liu family member to sit in the position of prime minister or general, unless the emperor felt that he was tired of his position as emperor and wanted to find someone to do it for him.

However, without the position of prime minister or general, it is basically a delusion to try to change the current situation of the court through formal channels and means.

Formal ones won't work, only irregular ones can be done.

For Liu Bei, the only way is to clear the emperor's side.

Lead troops to the capital, control the government, seize great power, forcefully serve as prime minister or general, and serve as regent for the emperor.

However, for Liu Bei, this was a hurdle he couldn't overcome.

But if he doesn't do this, Jingzhou Mu will be Liu Bei's limit.

It's absolutely impossible to go up.

This is not just a matter of the emperor's disapproval, no one in the court would agree.

The official position of Zhou Mu is actually no worse than that of Prime Minister, and even higher than that of Jiuqing.

Because if an official at the level of Jiuqing takes up a local post, he is just a prefect of a county.

In the same way, if Zhou Mu went to Beijing to become an official, he would have to be an official at the level of three ministers.

Taiwei, prime minister, censor.

Of course, the names of these three official positions often change, but the essence remains the same.

Sangong was actually the emperor's deputy.

The Taiwei is in charge of military affairs, the Prime Minister is in charge of political affairs, and the imperial censor is in charge of the power of supervision over the world.

Which of these three positions can be given to Liu Bei?

Gave it to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei is a member of the clan. Even if he himself has no idea of ​​going further, can you guarantee that his subordinates don’t?

There will definitely be someone who wants to be a hero of Conglong.

Therefore, it is extremely dangerous to put Liu Bei in the position of the Third Duke.

This is true for both the emperor and Liu Bei.

Therefore, this is the end of Liu Bei's official career.

The best outcome is to be a Jingzhou herdsman for the rest of his life, and the worse outcome is to be rotated among various states.

The worst outcome is a glass of poisoned wine.

Liu Bei is not a fool, and he himself understands this kind of thing.

"Fourth brother, what you discussed with the gentlemen before was very insightful. The world is in chaos, and I am very anxious. How should I do it? Fourth brother should not hesitate to teach me how to do it."

Chen Yuan has long been confident.

"Brother, the current situation is all about cultivating your inner strength and waiting for the right time."

"What's the explanation?"

"Brother, the current situation is that no matter how much you do, you can't go any further. Jingzhou Mu is the highest position you can achieve under the current situation. Unless the emperor loses his mind, he will transfer you to the capital.

Otherwise, brother, you will never be able to enter the capital. In other words, as long as today is in power, brother, you will be the shepherd of Jingzhou for a day."

Liu Bei frowned at first.

"Why?"

"Why? Brother, don't think about it. You are from the clan, and you are still Jingzhou Mu. If you are transferred to the capital, I will definitely give you an official position that is similar to that of Jingzhou Mu. But Jingzhou Mu is almost at the top."

, once the eldest brother is here, he will definitely be the third prince."

"But, brother, think about it, from the time of Emperor Gaozu to the present day, has there ever been a clan with three sons?"

Of course there is no such thing.

Liu Bei understood.

Your own identity limits yourself.

"In that case, what should we do?"

Chen Yuan had already thought about what to do.

"Under the current situation, the only thing we can do is to govern Jingzhou well, vigorously develop Jingzhou, produce more food, recruit refugees, encourage childbirth, encourage mulberry farming, develop commerce and trade, train soldiers, accumulate talents, and spread intelligence

, upgrade technology and wait for the right time."

In a word, it is to make Jingzhou prosperous and strong.

Not only do we need money and food, we also need people and talents.

Liu Bei nodded.

What Chen Yuan said is what he, a Jingzhou herdsman, should do.

"When will the time of heaven come?"

"When the mountains collapse, that's when Big Brother gets angry."

"What should I do if the mountains collapse?"

"Brother, if my prediction is correct, once the mountains collapse, there will inevitably be a big fight between the scholar group headed by General He Jin and the eunuch group headed by Shi Changshi. Then this will be your chance.

Already."

Chen Yuan could only say this. He couldn't say that He Jin, the second-in-command, would listen to Yuan Shao's suggestion and directly ask the local princes to lead troops to King Qin in Beijing to kill the eunuchs.

To be honest, you might call this suggestion silly, but that’s not the case.

After all, at that time, Jian Shuo was the senior military lieutenant of the Eighth Lieutenants of Xiyuan, and he controlled military power.

Moreover, the Eighth Colonel of Xiyuan was respected by the above-mentioned military academy captain. In extraordinary times, Jian Shuo had the title of controlling the Xiyuan Army.

Therefore, on the surface, Yuan Shao's suggestion is not that bad.

In fact, it's very awkward.

This is Yuan Shao trying to deceive He Jin, hiding evil intentions.

You know, there was more than just the Xiyuan Army in Luoyang at that time.

He Jin himself controlled part of the army.

Including but not limited to the Northern Army, the Forbidden Army, etc.

In name, the general can control the entire country's military.

Moreover, among the eight captains of Xiyuan, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Chunyu Qiong, Bao Hong, Zhao Rong, etc. were not on the eunuch side, but were all on He Jin's side.

If He Jin was smart enough and wanted to kill the ten regular servants with the military power he controlled, it would be extremely easy.

Perhaps this guy was afraid that his sister, Queen He, would be unhappy and lose face, so he agreed to Yuan Shao's suggestion.

When he thought about it, if the local army came to Beijing and killed the ten permanent servants, it would have nothing to do with him, and he would have an excuse to shirk it.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo made a grand appearance and caused an eternal catastrophe in Luoyang.

Yuan Shao, He Jin, and Dong Zhuo were all responsible for the destruction of Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei listened to Chen Yuan's words and said thoughtfully: "You mean, their fight may make the situation get out of control?"

"Yes, brother, if the two sides are at loggerheads, or if there are people with evil intentions who have evil intentions, Luoyang will definitely be in chaos. By then, we can advance or retreat calmly."

In fact, if allowed, Chen Yuan even wanted Liu Bei to replace Dong Zhuo in Beijing.

It's a pity that Liu Bei's clan status restricted him.

It would be better if Liu Bei was a member of the clan, and he could just lead his troops to the capital to help King Qin.

When the time comes to occupy Luoyang, respect the emperor and order the princes to conquer Guanzhong and Liangzhou first, then send a large general to lead troops into Shu and capture Yizhou. By then, we will be able to strengthen Qin. It only takes a few years of recovery to

Calmly dispatched troops to wipe out the Shandong princes, allowing the central authority to be reestablished.

Everything after that will be easy to do. Whether Liu Bei wants to be a famous minister or an emperor, it is all a matter of one sentence.

However, this is obviously impossible.

If Liu Bei wants to enter Luoyang, he must wait until Fatty Dong's true face is revealed before he has the chance.

As the leader of the alliance of princes, if you, Yuan Shao, can do it, can I, Liu Xuande, not be able to do it?

Moreover, Liu Bei is more confident as the leader of the alliance.

No matter in terms of justice or status, Liu Bei, the genuine Jingzhou Shepherd, is much better than Yuan Shao, the self-proclaimed Chariot General.

If Liu Bei had become the leader of the alliance, Chen Yuan would never have allowed the allies to attack the fortified city. They would have to break into Luoyang, and there would be no chance for Dong Zhuo to burn Luoyang and return westward with the Emperor.

Dong Zhuo was directly wiped out, and Liu Bei took this opportunity to take control of Luoyang.

Maybe he can even gain the identity of an imperial uncle.

Chen Yuan can't plan so much for what will happen after entering Luoyang.

We can only watch it when the time comes.

However, this must be done to preserve Luoyang and Chang'an and their populations.

You know, after Dong Zhuo's Rebellion and the subsequent Li Jue and Guo Si Rebellion, the two major cities of Luoyang and Chang'an suffered great damage, and the losses were immeasurable.

Moreover, it also caused Guanzhong to decline and its population to decrease significantly.

The Southern Xiongnu also took the opportunity to plunder and took away Cai Wenji.

Such a tragedy must never happen again.

To do this, Jingzhou must become stronger in the past few years. The most important things are money, food, soldiers and talents.

Four years later, Jingzhou must have 100,000 elite soldiers to achieve Chen Yuan's goal.

Four years later, the Xiliang army numbered 50,000.

The 50,000 soldiers here are all elite soldiers, not miscellaneous soldiers.

If you include the miscellaneous soldiers, there are at least more than 100,000.

Dong Zhuo was able to mobilize so many troops because of the special situation in Xiliang.

Otherwise, the population of Guanzhong and Liangzhou would not be able to support such a large army.

To deal with these 50,000 elite soldiers, Liu Bei would have to lead at least 50,000 troops.

Jingzhou also needs to be guarded and half of the army must be left behind.

Therefore, one hundred thousand elite soldiers is the basis.
