Chapter 288 Han Song is shocked! Nanyang is the world of Datong in the book of sages!
"Oh right."
When Gao Shun was about to say goodbye and leave, he suddenly remembered something.
He quickly turned back, took out the silk book from his arms, and presented it to Liu Bian with both hands: "Your Majesty, this is the general's training methods for many years, as well as his experiences and experiences, as well as the plan for this training to fall into the camp."
Liu Bian took the silk book and couldn't help but be surprised: "Has everything been prepared so quickly?"
Gao Shun nodded: "The matters entrusted by His Majesty must be completed as soon as possible. The general wanted to report it as soon as possible during the audience, but was taken directly to the martial arts arena by Guard Zhu, so there was a slight delay."
"good!"
"very good."
Liu Bian started browsing and glanced strategically: "Shixun wrote it in very detail. I will definitely study it carefully. I hope you can build a truly strong iron-blooded army."
Gao Shun cupped his hands and clasped his fists, and said sonorously: "I will live up to His Majesty's high expectations."
Liu Bian waved his hand: "Go back to the camp quickly. Starting from tomorrow, we will officially start training."
Gao Shun nodded: "Here."
Immediately.
He bowed and walked backwards to leave the martial arts arena.
Looking at Gao Shun's leaving figure, even Xun He could not help but nod and praise: "He is indeed a good general. I believe that under the leadership of Shi Xun, the trapped camp will live up to his name."
Liu Bian is even more confident in this. After all, in history without the help of magic soldiers, he has proven his ability to the world with brilliant achievements, not to mention the enhanced version of the trapped camp.
"kindness."
Liu Bian was extremely sure: "I am the same."
Xun Yi bowed: "Your Majesty, the infantry is handed over to Xu Rong, Gao Shun is enough. Do you have any ideas about the next cavalry?"
Liu Bian did not hide it, and said with a smile: "Of course there are! But judging from our current situation, although we have enough war horses, we lack generals who can lead troops."
"oh?"
Xun You frowned and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, with Lu Bu, Cao Xing, Han Dang and others, isn't it enough?"
Liu Bian chuckled and shook his head: "It's far from that."
An army must not only have a commander-in-chief, but also must establish a military professional system.
Among the current soldiers under Liu Bian's command, except for Lu Bu, who was relatively reliable, none of them made Liu Bian particularly satisfied. Even Han Dang, who was born in western Liaoning and was proficient in riding and archery, still had some flaws.
In this case, let alone generals such as Cao Xing and Hou Cheng. They can only be generals at the level of Army Sima and Army Marquis at best. If they want to be the commander of the cavalry battalion, they are really close to it.
hiss-!
Xun was surprised and took a breath.
He could feel from His Majesty the Emperor's firm eyes that his plan for the new cavalry would definitely far exceed his imagination. Perhaps even if he encountered the Xiliang Cavalry in the future, he would be able to fight.
"His Majesty."
Xun You bowed his head and said softly: "Wei Chen thinks that if there are not enough generals, we can choose generals. In the previous examinations, many of them were based on the art of war."
"How about we..."
Speaking of this, Xun You spoke in a long voice and said with great interest: "How about gathering all the elites of the army and those who are outstanding in the art of war, and organizing a great riding competition to select cavalry generals?"
"Hey-!"
Liu Bian turned his head and glanced at Xun He, and said with a smile: "Heroes have similar views! To be honest, I just thought of this method yesterday. After all, most of those who use military skills to become officials have extraordinary martial arts."
"In this way, we can just allocate them all. Those who should be in the cavalry camp will be put into the cavalry camp, and those who should be in the infantry camp will be put into the infantry camp. This can be regarded as an explanation for them."
A large number of those who previously took the Confucian classics exams as officials have become county magistrates in various places. With the promotion of Tang Xiang and Lu Su, new people have also successfully filled their positions.
but......
Liu Bian has always made few arrangements for those who use the art of war to become officials.
Of course, the main reason is that I am too busy to take care of such things.
But now, farming has been fully back on track, and the training of infantry has also been properly arranged. There is only one cavalry left, which can be solved with all its strength.
Xun or bowed his head and said: "Wei ministers have this idea."
"It's not just them."
Liu Bian took a deep breath and added: "We can also select from various armies, county soldiers, and even field armies. Anyone who is proficient in riding and archery can sign up."
"kindness."
Xun You pondered for a moment and nodded: "Wei Chen understood, so he sent people on flying horses to send orders to all counties and put up notices. Three days later, they will gather at the racecourse to prepare for a competition to select generals."
"Can!"
Liu Bian affirmed without hesitation, and immediately waved his hand and said: "Follow me back to the Wende Hall. Yesterday, I happened to record the props needed for the competition in the eucalyptus. When you issued the notice, send someone to prepare them.
"
"good."
Xun may respond.
Immediately.
Following His Majesty the Emperor back to the Hall of Wende: "This contains the contents of our competition, including riding and shooting, overcoming obstacles, slashing, changing clothes, etc. If there is anything to add to the text, you can add it."
"Ah, this..."
Xun You shook his head hurriedly and said softly: "Wei Chen is not good at this, so we should prepare according to His Majesty's request. Or wei Chen can seek help from Xu Rong and Lu Bu to make some additions."
Liu Bian nodded: "Yes, no problem! Xu Rong is not only proficient in infantry combat, but also proficient in cavalry combat. If you ask for his help, you may really be able to find out and fill in the gaps."
Xun You responded and promised: "In that case, I will retire."
*****
Nanyang, Wan County.
The farmland is green, with small bridges and flowing water.
A breeze blew by, and the green waves rolled, as if you were in the ocean.
Ta! Ta! Ta!
A carriage came slowly from far to near.
"Uncle, this is near Wancheng."
Opposite Han Song, a young man pointed to the small road outside. There were smiling people on the road, wearing straw hats and carrying farm tools, rushing towards the nearby Xiangxu, preparing to pick up their children and go home from school.
His name is Han Yi.
He is Han Song's nephew.
Han Song put down the book in his hand and looked out the window. There were still scattered people working hard in the rice fields. They wore straw hats on their heads, facing the rice fields and their backs to the sky.
Not far away, a huge disc stands tall, at least five or six feet high, slowly rotating, carrying gurgling streams along the canals and into the farmland.
In the rice field nearby, a woman straightened up, holding two fish in her hand, waving to the man on the road, with a happy smile on her face:
"Brother Ergou, bring the baby back and make fish soup for you."
"Okay~~~"
This scene immediately shocked Han Song's jaw.
He couldn't help but be curious, raised his hand and pointed at the woman, like a mountain cannon, opened his mouth stupidly and asked: "Jiaheng, what's going on, you can actually catch fish from the rice fields?"
"Oh, that's it."
Han Yi couldn't hide the smile on his face and hurriedly introduced: "It is a new rice field model developed by the imperial court, called rice field fish ecological breeding."
"My nephew didn't really believe in these things before. He always felt that the fish would eat all the seedlings. But with the insistence of the imperial court, this ecological breeding of fish in rice fields has been a great success."
"Nowadays, many of our people in Nanyang can eat rice field fish. Life was so good back then. It has only been a few months. Did you see that those children have gained a lot of weight?"
At this moment, on the road ahead, some children came jumping up and down, humming some songs.
Only when the children came closer did Han Song hear clearly:
"When the emperor comes to Nanyang, the people will be in good health;"
"Give farmers free of tax and cultivate wasteland."
"Raising fish in rice fields and irrigating water with water trucks;"
"Open a school, teach and educate."
"Teacher said that when you study, you should make your ambition clear;"
"Learn civil and military skills and serve the emperor."
"The emperor comes to Nanyang..."
"..."
The sound over and over again impacted Han Song's eardrums.
He couldn't believe it.
Children of common people near Wancheng can actually recite nursery rhymes?
Moreover, in Han Song's heart, this is not just a nursery rhyme, but also a reflection of people's hearts.
It has been less than a year since the Emperor of Nanyang came here, and he has made Nanyang great and the people can rely on it. This is really an extraordinary thing.
"Jiaheng, this nursery rhyme is..."
Before Han Song could finish asking, Han Yi nodded and said with certainty: "The children made it up themselves. This is just one of them. There are many other nursery rhymes that you haven't heard yet."
Han Song looked in disbelief: "Really?"
Han Yi was extremely sure: "Of course! For example, there is a nursery rhyme that specifically talks about raising fish in rice fields. It seems to be sung like this, little fish, swimming in rice fields, jumping over ridge walls."
"wall......"
At this point, Han Yi frowned and pondered for a long time: "Wall...what's the wall? Forgive my nephew for being stupid and forgetting the follow-up, but it is a picture of the rice field fish jumping over the wall after it grows up.
.”
"Ha ha."
Han Song looked up to the sky and laughed: "That's it."
Han Yi was very excited: "Uncle, please forgive my nephew for being fair. Although our family has suffered greatly from the tax exemption, we have to admit that the people of Nanyang are richer. This is the world of great harmony depicted in the book, isn't it?
?”
"this......"
Han Song frowned and did not answer.
However, Han Yi became even more energetic and opened his mouth and said: "What is Datong? "The Book of Rites" says: The journey of the Great Dao means that the world is for the common good, selecting the wise and capable, adhering to trust and cultivating harmony."
"Therefore, people do not only care for their relatives, nor do they only have children for their children, so that the old will have their end, the strong will be useful, the young will have their own growth, the modest, the widowed, the lonely, the disabled, and the disabled will all be supported, the men will have their share, and the women will have their homes.
.”
"The goods are thrown away on the ground, so there is no need to hide them; the power is not from the body, and there is no need to do it for oneself. This is why people seek to close the door but they do not prosper, thieves and thieves do not do it, so they do not close the door to the outside, this is called
Datong."
"uncle!"
Han Yi's eyes flashed as he glanced at the rice fields, waterwheels, and children singing nursery rhymes outside the window: "My nephew didn't believe that His Majesty could get help from heaven before, but now, my nephew is convinced."
"His Majesty!"
Han Yi was extremely determined: "He is the chosen one. The one who will help the Han Dynasty and rebuild the world in the future must be this person from the Han Dynasty in Nanyang, not the Chang'an puppet controlled by Dong Zhuo."
Although Han Song has experienced too much reality, he still has a heart of great unity in his heart. This is the most sacred ideal in the heart of every scholar. It will only be buried and will never disappear.
"Listen to Jiaheng's wishes..."
Han Song asked tentatively: "Are you also preparing to take the imperial examination?"
Han Yi nodded: "That's right! My nephew has already registered. It is estimated that the exam will start in three to five days. Like my elder brother, I will start from the county magistrate and county magistrate to assist His Majesty and create a bright future.
.”
"good!"
Han Song couldn't help but nod and praise: "What a great ambition, uncle supports you."
Han Yi smiled: "Thank you uncle."
"Is there anything you need to ask? My uncle can teach you while there is still time."
"real?"
"kindness."
"Of course!"
"..."
The carriage drove slowly, crossing the sea of rice fields and heading straight to Wancheng.
About half an hour passed.
finally.
Arrive at Wancheng.
Han Song sent his nephew to the bus station and immediately went straight to the Chancellor's desk.
After the future intention was made clear, he followed Shu Zuo and rushed to the main hall.
Xun or started arranging the cavalry competition, and Lu Su was in charge of this fashionable desk.
"Jingzhou Zhizhong was engaged in Han Song, and he met Lu Shangshu."
Han Song stepped forward, bowed and bowed his head to the end.
"It turns out to be Han Degao."
"I have admired you for a long time."
Lu Su hurriedly stood up to greet him and bowed in return: "What? Could it be that Liu Jingzhou has collected the strange stones and sent you to the palace for His Majesty's selection?"
Han Song did not hide anything and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it is indeed true."
Lu Su asked anxiously: "Where is the strange stone?"
"In the carriage outside the palace."
"good."
Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief, turned back, and prepared to pack his things: "Wait for me for a while, and we will go to the palace to meet His Majesty together and try to make an appointment as soon as possible so that Liu Jingzhou can transport it as soon as possible."
Han Song frowned, hesitating slightly in his heart: "Uh... no rush, Lu Shangshu is busy first."
Lu Su smiled faintly and packed up his books: "There is nothing to do. Let's leave after I finish packing. Otherwise, if we delay for a while, we will not be able to enter the palace. We will have to wait until tomorrow to see you again."
"Uh...this..."
If we meet again tomorrow, it will indeed be delayed.
but......
Whenever Han Song thought about meeting His Majesty the Emperor, he would have to ask him about the high-profile transfer, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Although His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang is young, he has to admit that he is indeed a good emperor who loves his people like his own son.
If you act like this, don't you bring injustice to the emperor?
what to do?
Do you want to have an audience?
Just when Han Song was hesitant.
"De Gao, let's go."
Lu Su's voice rang in his ears.
"Uh... that..."
Han Song subconsciously raised his hand and said softly: "Lu Shangshu, why don't you...I'd rather not go to the palace to pay my respects?"
Lu Su frowned and noticed a strange aura from the other person's face: "De Gao, what are you..."
Han Song took a deep breath and tried to find a reasonable reason, but he had no clue.
As a last resort, he decided to tell the truth and follow his heart: "To be honest, Liu Biao ordered me to exchange stones for the design drawings of the high-tube turning car."
"ah?"
Lu Su was stunned for a moment, and his mind was greatly shaken.
How could he not know?
The high-tube turning car is the trump card of His Majesty the Emperor. How can he make it public at will just because of a stone?
And if His Majesty the Emperor refuses Liu Biao, it will be equivalent to refusing to benefit the people of Jingxiang. Normally, nothing will happen to him, but once something happens, he will be labeled as unkind.
"kindness."
Han Song nodded.
The eye contact between the two of them was enough.
Immediately, Lu Su saluted Han Song and solemnly said: "Thank you very much, De Gao, and tell me the truth."
Han Song took a deep breath. At this moment, he felt extremely relaxed. The hanging stone was finally put down: "Then there will be Minister Laolu."
Lu Su nodded: "Don't worry, leave it to me. De Gao will be here later. Su will come back as soon as he goes."
At that moment, Lu Su said goodbye to Han Song, took a cart of strange stones in front of the palace, and went straight to the palace.
****
Emperor's palace.
Hall of Wende.
Liu Bian stared at the ore on the eucalyptus, but he was communicating with the Military Advisor Alliance in his mind: "Teacher, which of these stones are bauxite? Why can't I tell at all?"
The military advisor alliance said softly: "The third and sixth blocks are all bauxite. Lord Bian sent people to mine. Anyway, Zhang Liao's troops are stationed in the field, so there is no need to worry about safety issues."
"good!"
Liu Bian nodded and sighed: "I will make arrangements early tomorrow morning. It happens that Tang Xiang has been to Luoyang and is familiar with it. It is best to leave the ore collection to him."
"I just don't know when we will be able to find brucite and manganese ore. Only by getting both of these can we make aluminum alloys."
The Military Advisor Alliance is extremely confident: "Don't worry, Mr. Bian, we will definitely find it. Even if we can't find it, the aluminum ore and copper ore will not be wasted. They can be used for other purposes."
Liu Bien said: "That's true."
"Master Ben."
The Military Advisor Alliance followed closely and said: "Since the matter of aluminum alloy has been involved, with the opinions of experts, we can also bring the matter of basic industrial chemistry into the daily routine."
Liu Bian frowned: "Chemistry can also be used? Can we find professional talents?"
The Military Advisor Alliance was extremely certain: "Of course! Master Bian has it ready-made."
"oh?"
Liu Bian was surprised and tried to ask: "Do I have a ready-made one?"
Military Advisor Alliance: "Yes, yes! And there is no need to doubt the loyalty."
"Could it be..."
Liu Bian thought for a moment, and a name came to his mind: "Taichang Shi Zixuan?"
The Alliance of Military Advisors affirmed: "That's right! It's Shi Zixuan."
In a sense, the ancient Taoist priests who were good at alchemy were the earliest chemists.
As the emperor's Taoist priest, Shi Zixuan was very good at alchemy, so he was naturally the best candidate.
Moreover, Shi Zixuan was considered his adoptive father and had saved his life in Luoyang. This loyalty was unmatched even by Zhang Liao, Liu Bei and others, and Liu Bian would never doubt it.
"But......"
Naturally, Liu Bian also had his own concerns: "I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to let a dignitary from the imperial court do such a thing, and Shi Zixuan's ability is not limited to alchemy!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Ben."
The Military Advisor Alliance was obviously well prepared: "Shi Zixuan has a special status. Experts have already taken this into consideration. Just like we put Qiqiao Pavilion in the general's general officer, we can put basic chemistry in Taichang's officer."
.”
"As for the person in charge..."
The Alliance of Military Advisors was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly gave the answer: "You can let Shi Tong, the secretary and eunuch, be the secretary. This person is educated and obsessed with alchemy. There is no one more suitable than him."
Liu Bian's eyes suddenly brightened.
That’s right!
Indeed, no one is more suitable than Tai Shitong.
This guy used to be Lantai's secretary-supervisor, and he was very well-read.
Moreover, he is obsessed with alchemy and has done a lot of research on it.
It is indeed very reasonable to let Shi Zixuan take charge and Tai Shitong be the person in charge.
"certainly."
The Military Advisor Alliance added: "It is urgent to establish a chemical laboratory. We not only need to produce glass, extract broad-spectrum antibiotics from garlic, but also produce gunpowder in the future. All of these are inseparable from chemistry."
"Teacher, don't worry."
Liu Bian had a thought in his mind and interrupted directly: "I understand all these principles. Just wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow I will summon Shi Zixuan and Tai Shitong to the palace. Let's start by refining aluminum alloy."
"good."
The Alliance of Military Advisors said softly: "Not only that, the experts have also prepared some very basic chemical knowledge, including the physical and chemical properties of various items. Master Bian must record it all so that Tai Shitong can be surrendered as soon as possible."
"ah?"
Liu Bian's head was almost full: "Are you going to copy books again?"
The Military Advisor Alliance smiled and said: "Well, there is no way. The basic things are the most troublesome. Once these basic scientific knowledge are solved, it will be much easier for you, Mr. Bian."
call-
As a last resort, Liu Bian let out a long sigh and took out a stack of paper from the side: "Let's get started, don't waste time."
The Alliance of Military Advisors graciously said, "Okay!"
"..."
Just when Liu Bian was writing vigorously.
"Report—!"
Suddenly, a long report sounded outside the hall.
Liu Bian picked up his pen and raised his eyes to look.
But then, Zhu Tong pushed the door open and walked in. He bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Lu Shangshu wishes to see you."
Liu Bian frowned: "Lu Su?"
Zhu Tong cupped his hands: "That's right."
It was getting dusk soon, but he still came.
Maybe something really happened.
Liu Bian waved his hand: "Let him come in."
Zhu Tong nodded: "Here."
Not long after.
Lu Su came to the palace, stepped forward, bowed and raised his hands: "I'm a humble minister, Lu Su. I'd like to see you, Your Majesty."
Liu Bian waved his hand: "Zijing, you came to the palace so late, what's the matter?"
"have."
Lu Su did not waste any nonsense and went straight to the point: "The strange stones from the direction of Jingzhou have been transported here. I wonder if your majesty would like to take a look at them now?"
Liu Bian nodded with absolute certainty: "If you want it, bring it over quickly."
Zhu Tong then sent someone to bring in three big baskets: "Your Majesty, they are all here."
Liu Bian stood up quickly, walked around the dragon's eucalyptus, and entered the hall.
Zhu Tong moved it away piece by piece.
Liu Bianzi looked carefully.
suddenly.
When a stone passed in front of his eyes, the voice of the military advisor alliance sounded: "Master Bian, this is it. This is the manganese mined from Agate Mountain."
"stop!"
Liu Bian waved his hand and quickly stopped him, pointing to the ore in Zhu Tong's hand: "Zijing, this is it. Let Liu Biao pay tribute to this stone. The more the better."
"This piece!"
Lu Su took a deep breath and put it in another basket: "Okay, Your Majesty, I will remember it."
Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction: "I didn't expect that Liu Biao, the official, could do things so quickly. Where are Jing Xiang's ministers? Shouldn't they have an audience?"
Lu Su hurriedly raised his hand and conveyed Han Song's intention to the emperor: "Your Majesty, that's what happened. If you don't agree, Jingzhou will definitely tie the people's hearts together, and you can just live in peace. Once your Majesty is ready to attack Jingxiang, he may attack Jingxiang."
It’s not good for you.”
"kindness."
"Indeed."
Liu Bian knew very well what kind of impact an emperor who was not willing to do for the benefit of the people would have on Jingxiang.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was even more glad that Han Song was not like this: "I didn't expect that this Han Song could actually think about me so much. It's really rare!"
"That's right!"
Lu Su was also filled with emotion: "Not only is he thinking about His Majesty, but after he returns, he will even have to bear the suspicion of his colleagues and Liu Biao, which is extremely dangerous."
"So be it."
Liu Bian took a deep breath and made a decisive decision: "When you go back to spread the news, just say that I have been busy all day and have no time to receive the envoys, and send you to contact Han Song to discuss the matter with full authority."
Lu Su nodded and said softly: "This is the only thing we can do now. At least it can alleviate Han Song's guilt."
Liu Bien said: "Yes, that's what I meant."
Lu Su raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, just leave it to me."
