Chapter 335 The Youth Talent Class Project! Little Zhuge, where are you going?
"It's impossible to advance to the junior high school level within three to five years."
"Xianxu is equivalent to the level of kindergarten or elementary school!"
"The exam is necessary, otherwise it won't be easy for these guys?"
"How can one achieve nirvana and be reborn without experiencing devastation?"
"..."
These days, the live broadcast room is full of discussions about Xiang Xu.
Liu Bian really can't stand all kinds of weird ideas from netizens. This is simply a critical attack on the ordinary people from a distance!
But I have to admit that what they said is very reasonable, and even the Military Advisor Alliance agreed.
"Master Bian, the exam must be taken. This is not only a supervision for them, but also integrates the concept of taking exams to obtain scholars, which is conducive to our next development."
"Considering the cultural level of the Han people, we may stay at the Xiangxu stage for a long time, and may not even be able to develop to the school level within five years."
"So we..."
"..."
The Military Advisor Alliance briefly described the current situation of education popularization and future development trends: "But Mr. Bian, our promotion of education popularization and imperial examinations are aimed at ordinary people."
"And those children from aristocratic families may have already passed this stage. We must also focus on their education so that they can keep up with Master Ben's pace in the future."
"That makes sense."
Liu Bian nodded with interest.
The current development of Nanyang Hanting can be said to be rapid. Three or five years will see a huge change. We rely on popular education to make up for the lack of talent, so we don't have to rush there at all.
In a sense, universal education can only increase the number of middle-level people at best, but cannot solve the demand for high-end talents. High-end talents will always be 1% of "talent + hard work".
“Do the experts have any suggestions?”
Liu Bian frowned slightly and asked tentatively.
"have."
The Alliance of Military Advisors said with great certainty: "Now that Master Bian has popularized Xiangxu, we might as well give Master Xiaojing a task to discover local genius children and send them to the imperial court to form a young genius class, led by Zheng Xuan, Sima Hui and others.
teach."
"For example, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin, who may still be in Langya, are probably under fifteen years old, which is when they have very strong plasticity."
"Ordinary Xiangxu teaching will definitely not be able to meet their needs. We can only set up a class for young geniuses and lock these guys in Ben Ye in advance, giving them advice and imparting knowledge."
"I estimate that by the time they can become talents, the big men will have completed the unification, and the strength of the new generation will gradually replace those old guys and continue to fight with Master Ben."
Zhuge Liang?
When Liu Bian heard the name, his eyes couldn't help but shine.
Although Zhuge Liang, as the embodiment of wisdom, was strengthened countless times by Lao Luo, this name has great temptation for everyone who is familiar with the Three Kingdoms.
"A must."
Liu Bian agreed without hesitation, and even added: "We not only want to discover these talents through Xiao Jingshi, but we also want to tell the world and let the young geniuses from all over the world join Nanyang."
"After this debate, the imperial court has collected no less than ten thousand books. We can build a library and use the banner of reading ten thousand books to attract these guys to study in Nanyang."
The Military Advisor Alliance smiled: "Master Bian has quite an idea."
Liu Bian smiled slightly: "I also listened to the opinions of netizens in the live broadcast room, and I think it makes sense and can be implemented."
The Alliance of Military Advisors was very sure of this: "Absolutely! In this era, books are still very tempting to scholars. It is definitely okay for the imperial court to have a collection of tens of thousands of books."
"good!"
Liu Bian was overjoyed: "In that case, I will summon Lu Zhi and others to the palace to announce the plan for the young genius class."
The voice of the Military Advisor Alliance was full of affirmation: "No problem."
"Someone is coming!"
Liu Bian shouted loudly.
Squeak—!
Zhu Tong pushed the door open and walked in: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Liu Bian said softly: "Quickly summon Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, and Sima Hui to the palace. I have important matters to discuss with you."
Zhu Tong cupped his hands: "Here."
Not long after.
Lu Zhi, Sima Hui, and Zheng Xuan entered the palace, stepped forward, bowed and raised their hands: "I, my ministers, are here to see your majesty."
Liu Bian waved his hand and motioned for him to take a seat: "Get up."
Immediately.
He picked up the bound books and showed them to everyone: "This is the result of our hard debate all winter. As of today, we have finally completed the binding of the first edition of the textbook."
"Starting from tomorrow, the filial piety teachers from each Xiangxu area will rush to Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Nanyang to officially start the work of promoting enlightenment this year."
"but......"
Liu Bian changed the subject and glanced at everyone in the hall: "Yesterday, I suddenly had an idea. Xiangxu probably corresponds to the elementary school stage. This is naturally enough for children from ordinary families."
"However, we do not rule out the possibility that there are many very smart children. Although they are young, they have strong comprehension ability. Our first edition of the textbook is not suitable for them."
"This is what I think. Let the filial piety masters from all over the world discover those children with extraordinary talents. If they are willing, they can come to Nanyang and form a young genius class, and you and I will personally teach them knowledge."
"Young genius class?"
In the hall, Lu Zhi pinched a strand of goatee under his chin, his eyes sparkling, and nodded slowly: "It sounds interesting! Indeed, our first edition textbook is relatively simple and is only suitable for children under ten years old."
"That's right!"
Zheng Xuan also echoed: "The imperial court currently mainly operates Xiangxu, and has not yet extended it to schools. It is indeed somewhat uncomfortable for the talented children in this world."
"Now that the debate is over, I am waiting for these people to be idle. It is appropriate to cultivate some talented boys for the imperial court."
Having said this, Zheng Xuan leaned forward and held his hands in his hands, saying solemnly: "I second my opinion."
Sima Hui nodded slowly: "I also agree."
"very good!"
Since there are so many capable people in the court, it is natural to use them, otherwise it will be a waste of resources.
In this way, it can also cultivate a new generation of power for the court.
After all, it is these young people who can truly accompany His Majesty the Emperor on the road to great revitalization of the Han Dynasty: "Since you all agree, we will distribute this matter early tomorrow morning."
"If you really meet a talented boy under the age of fifteen, as long as they recommend one person to the court, they will receive a reward of one thousand gu from the court, and there is no upper limit."
"Or, after their training, you can achieve excellent results during the annual holiday exams, and in the spring of the following year, you can pass the assessment of the Youth Genius Class, and you can also receive a thousand dollars."
Zheng Xuan frowned: "The juvenile genius class also needs assessment?"
Liu Bian affirmed: "That's natural. Otherwise, how can we judge whether he is a young genius?"
Zheng Xuan pinched a strand of goatee under his chin: "I dare to ask Your Majesty, but is it like the assessment of the Public Transport Department?"
"certainly!"
The format of the examination must be implemented: "But the questions may be a little simpler than that. After all, it is just to select young talents with potential, not to select officials for the imperial court."
call-
Zheng Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slowly: "That's great."
Sima Hui took over the work of Xi Zhicai and was very clear about the advantages of the assessment: "I highly agree with the assessment."
Lu Zhi, as the imperial Situ and the person in charge of the promotion of education, even more agreed: "To select scholars through examinations, and at the same time integrate them into the daily promotion of education, and implement them for a long time, it will be beneficial to the promotion of education, and I will naturally support it."
Although Liu Bian was ecstatic in his heart, he remained calm on his face: "In this case, you will go back separately and announce the matter to the disciples. This should be regarded as an additional task."
Everyone bowed and raised their hands: "Here."
Early next morning.
The disciples of Zheng Xuan and others rushed to their posts after receiving the first edition of the textbook.
The work of registering for land reclamation in Yuzhou and Xuzhou has also ended, and the farm tools issued by the imperial court have already reached the hands of the people.
From top to bottom, Nanyang Hanting is fully prepared to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by.
In the blink of an eye.
Winter passes and spring comes.
It’s the season of revival for all things.
Under the unified arrangements of the imperial court, the Central Plains ushered in a boom in farming.
This year is obviously more orderly and organized than last year. With the successful experience of Nanyang, the enthusiasm of the people in Yuzhou and Xuzhou has been unprecedentedly high. The major wealthy families have experienced an unprecedented blow, and the same is true for the Nanyang family.
Looking at the erected high-tube rotating car, netizens in the live broadcast room were completely excited:
"Damn! Who said the ancients weren't smart? Isn't this smart? This is so awesome, okay?"
“Although we haven’t mastered the core technology of ball bearings, we have already made high-cylinder rolling mills hundreds of years ahead of schedule!”
"Master Ben, does this cause the butterfly effect? It's simply awesome!"
"Nah! The Deng family and the Yin family can imitate the high-tube rotating car. Now they are learning the rice field fish technique. I think others can do it too."
"We have exposed so many high technologies. It is enough to be learned by the Deng family. What should we do if Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao learn them?"
"They must be learning it, we just don't know it."
"That's right! Dong Zhuo will definitely learn it, and maybe he has already mastered the three treasures of equestrianism."
"..."
Listening to the comments from netizens in the live broadcast room, Liu Bian's eyes were full of surprise, and he smiled lightly: "I didn't expect that the Deng family had already made preparations. No wonder he was not in a hurry at all."
"It's not just the Deng family..."
Xun You, who was opposite, frowned slightly and looked a little unhappy: "The Yin family in Nanyang also imitated the high-tube turntable. The situation in Yuzhou is even more serious. All the major aristocratic families have set up high-tube turntables."
"If I guess correctly, they have already imitated the high-barrel rotating car, but they have never taken it out. They just want to catch the imperial court off guard and make them invincible."
"In addition, many aristocratic families in Nanyang have begun to imitate His Majesty's ecological breeding of rice field fish. Even Jingxiang, which is relatively close, is also following suit and has built a large number of ecological breeding areas for rice field fish."
"snort!"
Liu Bian snorted softly, lowered the car curtain, and said softly: "What a pity, they will never know how many tricks the imperial court has to increase grain production."
"It's just a small high-tube rotary car, just a fish in the rice field. I don't take it seriously at all. Although they can imitate the high-tube rotary car, they never imagined that our trump card this year is fertilizer."
Before spring, chemical fertilizers had been kept an absolute secret. Only a few high-level officials knew about it, and even the county magistrate and others below were unaware of the existence of chemical fertilizers.
but......
After all, it has not been tested, and Xun You is still skeptical about this: "Your Majesty, can this thing really increase grain production? If it fails in the end, I'm afraid the people won't buy it!"
Fertilizer was developed by the imperial court, and there was a certain cost involved. It was impossible for Liu Bian to give it to the people for free, but once it was used for a fee, the people's acceptance was not high.
Therefore, regarding chemical fertilizers, Liu Bian gave the mandatory use of public land. If the yield per mu cannot be increased by 50%, the land tax will remain unchanged. If the yield per mu is increased by more than 50%, the land tax will be increased by 10%. If the yield per mu is reduced, the court will give subsidy.
Because the court takes care of them, it can completely solve the common people's worries and allow them to use chemical fertilizers with confidence, thereby maximizing the effectiveness of this killer weapon.
"Wen Ruo, even if you don't believe in Tai Shitong, you still have to believe in me!"
Liu Bian, however, was extremely confident. He patted his chest and assured Xun Yue: "Don't worry, the increase in yield per mu by 50% is just a conservative estimate. If my guess is right, it is possible to increase it by 70% or even double it." .”
"oh?"
Xun You was surprised, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Can it really be doubled?"
Liu Bian paused for a moment: "I can only say that it is possible. After all, this is the first time that chemical fertilizer has been officially used. Although Taishi Tong has done several experiments, the specific situation is still unknown."
Although Liu Bian did not put his words to death, Xun probably knew the Emperor's temperament very well: "Since Your Majesty is so sure, I believe there will be no problem with it."
"Don't worry."
Xun or solemnly bowed his hand and said: "When it comes time to fertilize, every piece of public land must be fertilized. Currently, Zaozhi is arranging relevant personnel to manufacture fertilizers in large quantities to ensure the supply of at least Yuzhou."
After all, there has not yet been a high-tube transfer car in Xuzhou. The high-tube transfer car of the imperial court still maintains a high degree of technological advantage in Xuzhou, which is fatally attractive to the people.
but......
Liu Bian, on the other hand, has high standards and will never let go of any possibility: "Since the Yuzhou family can imitate it, the Xuzhou family can also do it."
"We can't take chances. Since we want to maintain our absolute advantage, we must eliminate all possibilities. Xuzhou's chemical fertilizers are also indispensable."
"Wen Ruo!"
Liu Bian's attitude was very firm: "Tell Zao Zhi, even if we add more people, we must rush to the first node and prepare all the required fertilizers. This is an order."
Xun You was deeply impressed by the firmness of His Majesty's determination. He cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely lend a helping hand to Zao Zhi."
Liu Bien sighed, then asked: "Now that the inspection team has set off, how is the replacement of officials in various places?"
Xun You said softly: "Based on the information fed back so far, Yuzhou and Xuzhou are relatively serious. But fortunately, our early preparations have been completed and there are sufficient reserve officials, so it will not affect the farming industry for the time being."
"very good!"
Liu Bian breathed a sigh of relief and warned again: "Remember! The core of the current work is farming. Everyone and everything must put farming first and make way for farming!"
Xun or responded sonorously: "Here."
*****
Xinye, Dengjia.
Octagon Pavilion.
Deng Xun was playing with his flowers and plants as usual, with a hint of pride on his face: "Fortunately, we have imitated the high-tube rotating car, otherwise we would have suffered heavy losses this year."
"However, it's really beyond my expectation that the old guy Yin Lu is so calm. It's a pity that our family suffered the most heavy losses this time in Xinye."
Deng Tong on the side sighed and nodded slowly: "Yes, there is no high-barrel transfer car in Laijia, which has led to a large number of tenants being included in the imperial public land. Even if they start to imitate it now, it is too late."
"yes!"
Deng Xun continued to turn over the soil in the flower pot and said softly: "I heard that the more than 100,000 acres of fertile land in Lai's family are not being cultivated, and the court will only publicize private fields after the autumn harvest. I conservatively estimate that Lai's family will have at least The loss was seven to eight thousand stones of food and grass."
Deng Tong bowed his head: "According to the current situation, if the imperial decree this year remains unchanged and the land tax is still five liters per mu, our family will lose nearly 7,600 shi of grain and grass."
"Seven thousand six hundred stones?"
Deng Xun smiled faintly and said with great interest: "Although this small amount of food and grass is not a big loss for the visitor, it is enough to cause the visitor a lot of pain."
"Fortunately, we are prepared in advance. As long as our grain production capacity this year is consistent with the imperial court's public land, or slightly better than the imperial court's, from now on, our Deng family will be considered stable."
"Zimu."
Deng Xun stopped what he was doing, raised his head and looked at Deng Tong: "You said...does the court have other strategies?"
Deng Tong frowned and thought for a long time: "It shouldn't be possible, right? Judging from the information we currently have, the imperial court has not taken many safeguard measures this year."
"kindness."
Deng Xun felt relieved and said, "That's great! It's time for the imperial court to stop. The amount of their public land in Nanyang is already comparable to that of our Deng family. They can be called the second largest aristocratic family."
"yes."
Deng Tongshen took it seriously and said: "It took our Deng family hundreds of years to accumulate so much wealth. Your Majesty has only been in Nanyang for one year, but he has mastered so much farmland. His methods are really superb."
"If that's all, let's do it ourselves. What's even more shocking is that now the vast majority of Nanyang's wealthy families have surrendered to His Majesty the Emperor. The imperial power is deeply rooted in Nanyang."
Deng Xun lowered his head and continued to tidy up his flowers and plants: "I don't ask for the Deng family to grow. As long as we can preserve the foundation of our ancestors, that will be enough."
"Master, don't worry."
Deng Tong leaned forward and held his hands in his hands, saying with absolute certainty: "We can definitely do it!"
Deng Xundan smiled: "I hope so."
"Oh right."
Deng Tong suddenly remembered something and said softly: "Master, now the court is planning to open a class for young geniuses, and the age requirement is under fifteen years old. My nephew wants the dog to try it."
"Chier?"
Deng Xun frowned.
"kindness."
Deng Tong nodded: "I heard that His Majesty, Mr. Zheng, Sima Decao and others personally taught and taught. Zhi'er is exactly fourteen years old this year, and she meets the requirements of His Majesty's Youth Genius Class."
"My nephew believes that the power of the Deng family in the imperial court is important, but such an opportunity is really rare. Moreover, His Majesty is personally preaching. In the future, he can be said to be a disciple of the emperor."
Deng Xun frowned, pondered for a moment, and said firmly: "Go! You must try it. Zhi'er is still young. It is gratifying to be a general now, but it has exhausted his potential."
"If he is lucky enough to be selected into the young genius class, he will be a disciple of the emperor in the future. Even if he cannot become a general or a general, he will definitely be reused, which is far better than this."
"I think......"
Deng Xun pinched a strand of goatee under his chin and guessed: "Even if Zhi'er does go to the gifted youth class, the person who will take over the Yuanyang Army in the future will most likely be selected from within the Yuanyang Army. Deng Peng and Deng Yi will
It’s the first choice.”
"Although the two of them are just collateral members of the Deng family and come from poor backgrounds, they are still members of the Deng family. If they can take over the Yuanyang Army, it will also be good news for our Deng family."
It’s true if you think about it carefully!
If an army with a special combat method like the Yuanyang Army is taken over by an outsider, it is very likely that it will be difficult to form effective combat effectiveness for a long time.
And if the deputy is selected from within to take over, this problem can be perfectly avoided and the Yuanyang Army will always be in a state of strong combat effectiveness.
If you can realize it yourself, let alone His Majesty the Emperor?
The last doubts in Deng Tong's heart were eliminated, and he immediately cupped his hands and said, "In this case, my nephew has ordered Quanzi to sign up for the genius class. I hope he can become the emperor's disciple and bring glory to our Deng family."
"good!"
Deng Xun agreed very much with this, twisting his beard and saying: "Zhi'er is still young, and she should focus on her studies. Now that there are so many famous people giving guidance, and she can become the emperor's disciple, naturally she can't give up this opportunity."
"You tell Zhi'er that the family will fully support him. Whatever he needs, no matter what you say, even if I spend huge sums of money, I will definitely help him solve it."
Deng Tong was so moved that he leaned over and handed over his hand: "My nephew, on behalf of the dog, thank the master."
Deng Xun twisted his beard and smiled: "Since we are a family, there is no need to say thank you. It is up to Zhi'er to do her best. Last year, so many people from our Deng family signed up for the exam, but only six of them were successfully selected."
"The person with the highest position at present is called... what kind of person is he called?"
Deng Xun frowned and pondered for a long time, but couldn't remember the name.
"Dunning!"
Deng Tong reminded.
"That's right!"
Deng Xun nodded: "It's Deng Ning. He seems to be assigned to Wolf Cavalry. He has been promoted to a certain level now, right?"
Deng Tong smiled and said: "The master of the family has a very good memory. Yes, Ning'er is the commander of the Wolf Cavalry. He was in Han Dang's Wolf Camp."
"kindness."
Deng Xun twisted his beard and said: "Before the Winter Festival, Deng Ning's father came to me to discuss. He wanted to find a martial arts master for Ning'er. I hope the family can help."
"The family has not given up on helping such a small leader, let alone my son Zhi'er. If he needs anything, no matter what he says, the family will go all out."
