Chapter 88: Liu Bang’s Calculations

 In the mansion of the twenty princes in the capital of Qin, a middle-aged man who would not be remembered even if he stood in the crowd said in a low voice: "Sixteen great scholars from Lu have all entered the mansion of the eldest prince. Four of them and their whole families have been arrested.

Our people are under control and this matter is absolutely foolproof!"

Liu Bang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a smile on his face, his eyes full of recognition and attention. He reached out from his arms and took out a bag containing dozens of gold beads and handed it over with both hands.

Then he whispered: "You still have to stay in the capital of Qin for some time, and let these great scholars tell our eldest prince and the servants in the eldest prince's mansion how miserable the lives of the people of the six countries who have lost the support of their families are. Don't be afraid of spending money.

!”

When arriving in Qindu, the first thing to do is to go to the Shaofu to deliver the gifts brought to His Majesty by His Highness. The second thing is to go to the royal palaces of various countries to deliver betrothal gifts accompanied by the Shaofu.

The date for the ladies to go to Chu Land has been agreed upon, and the eunuchs from the Chu Palace have also accompanied the ladies.

What was even more surprising was that the secret agent who went to Lu to persuade the great scholars to come and assist the eldest prince actually persuaded sixteen great scholars to come to the Qin capital at once. This was simply overjoyed.

Now for Liu Bang, the most important thing is to let these great scholars assist the eldest prince to learn the way of kindness and forgiveness, and to learn more about the tragic lives of the families of the soldiers who surrendered from the six countries in various places.

As for the rest, Liu Bang no longer had to worry about it. When the eldest prince wanted to plead for the people, that was the beginning of the First Emperor's disappointment in the eldest prince.

Nowadays, in addition to Qin, slaves are still used in large numbers in other lands of the Six Kingdoms, and Liu Bang is also preparing to let the eldest prince know the misery of slaves everywhere.

The rich have thousands of mansions and a meal worth a thousand dollars, while the poor have no place to stand and can't even eat enough grass roots and tree bark.

There are too many things in the world that a benevolent person like the eldest prince needs to know.

Even if His Royal Highness opens a mine in Jiujiang, slaves' lives are needed to fill it.

If you keep raising various questions without any solution, over time, you will not only be in opposition to His Majesty, but also to the entire court.

Thinking of his subsequent arrangements, the smile on Liu Bang's face became more cordial, and even his tone became gentler. Even though he knew that the lives of his family were under Liu Bang's control, the middle-aged spy felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

The passion to fight for the great cause of the world.

In the Chu Palace, Chu Er continued to read: "The commander of the Jinyi Guards, Zhang San, wants to dig salt fields along the coast and control the movements of merchants in various places through the sale of salt!"

"Can!"

Salt and iron were the most important resources in ancient times, as well as the biggest point of contradiction. Instead of controlling them in your own hands and concentrating the contradictions on yourself, you might as well hand them over to the Jin Yiwei, who are completely under your control, so that you can maximize your own interests.

"Jinyiwei has recruited a large number of carpenters from various southern countries, so he wants to build a batch of carriages and at the same time build warehouses in various places!"

"Can!"

Zhao Wen nodded lightly. This should be the method used by Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty to establish stable intelligence points in various places. Now it has been copied by Zhang San. However, what is different from the Ming Dynasty is that there is no Sui and Tang Grand Canal, and the road system is not as complete as the Ming Dynasty.

.

The most important thing is that the Chu land is in the south. There has been no land to raise horses in the south since ancient times. Unless you take Jiujiang County soldiers to the grassland to rob it, otherwise just buying a large number of horses will be a huge expense.

Coupled with the bandit gangs in various places, even if this warehouse is established, there will not be much profit.

"You can build a four-wheeled carriage and be able to pull more goods at a time!"

"yes!"

The carriages used by the Da Qin royal family were four-wheeled. Just looking at the size, they were obviously much larger than the two-wheeled carriages. Your Highness happened to have one, so just let the carpenter build it accordingly.

"Your Highness, I'm going to cast movable type, but I don't know which classic should be the main one!"

After the establishment of various rural schools, a large number of teachers are needed. The various schools of thought gathered in Shouchun can be said to be eyeing him, but Chu Er is definitely not the one who dares to make the decision. Otherwise, in the eyes of each school, he will be an eternity.

The first sycophant.

This is a big trouble. Even Zhao Wen himself has not yet decided which family will dominate the culture of Daqin in the future.

However, with so many township schools and county schools established, there will be at least tens of thousands of students, which may exceed all the scholars in Da Qin. If you choose one of them as the main school, you will definitely have an absolute advantage.

After thinking about the ancient enlightenment textbooks, Zhao Wen smiled softly and said: "You can remove the inappropriate parts of the Thousand-Character Classic and the Hundred Family Surnames, and then send them to each family and ask them to write the best one according to the pattern.

Not only will it become an enlightenment textbook for rural studies, but I will also give you a huge reward!"

The classics of later generations are definitely not suitable for use in this era, but if the later world can be written, as long as you set the format, scholars from various schools in this era will definitely be able to write enlightenment textbooks that are most suitable for this era.

And in Zhao Wen's view, with this kind of enlightening textbook and the foundation he provided, there won't be much difference no matter who writes it. It will be up to which one is the smartest and writes the one that best suits his own needs.

Already.

On the second day, an order was sent from the Chu Palace that hundreds of scholars would compile the enlightenment textbooks for Chu's rural studies. His Highness would select the best ones to be used as textbooks for all students of Jiujiang's county and rural studies. Hundreds of scholars in Shouchun were shocked at the same time.

Although Da Qin has not established a prince now, everyone can see that the position of the prince must be one of the eldest prince and the twenty princes. Even the twenty princes have great advantages.

The classics compiled by oneself are now the enlightenment of Jiujiang county and township studies, and may become the enlightenment classics for students all over the world in the future. This will not only leave a name in history, but also greatly enhance the influence of one's own school in the world.

Hundreds of schools of thought have been fighting for hundreds of years, and not one or two schools have been eliminated. The winner this time is very likely to eliminate all other schools at once. Just this possibility makes no school dare to be careless.

.

Because Shouchun wanted to build the largest academy in the world, a large number of disciples from hundreds of schools of thought were originally gathered. However, after receiving the news, all the schools immediately sent letters asking for help to the sages of their respective sects in various places.

.

In silence, no one noticed, three people from the Jiujiang County Army Camp quietly left Shouchun City with a thousand people each.

And a kind of food called pumpkin began to appear in the bowls of all Jiujiang County soldiers and farmers in the farms of the Chu Palace. Even the residents of Shouchun City also fell in love with pumpkin, which is cheap and delicious.

food.

All potatoes need to be saved for seeds, but pumpkins are very easy to rot after taking out the seeds. Even with soldiers from Jiujiang County, farmers and slaves from various farms, and a large number of civilians working on construction projects everywhere, they still cannot produce them in a short time.

Consumed internally.

Zhao Wen simply provided it to the people of Shouchun at a very low price, making countless people in Chudi full for the first time in their lives, and Zhao Wen's reputation in the local area suddenly skyrocketed!
