Chapter 979

"At that time, our Dynasty will be like emperor Shizu's resurgence, and there will be a lot of important things to be busy with. Kong Ming will certainly work harder at that time, but this is also a good opportunity to make a name in history. Kong Ming must grasp it."

There are two main stages that can make a name in the history of the Qing Dynasty, one is the troubled times and the other is governing the world. Such as the struggle between the Chu and Han Dynasties, the Three Kingdoms, the Wei, Jin, southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Five Dynasties and ten states, all belong to the troubled times, while the founding and rejuvenation of successive dynasties belong to the rule of the times. With the chaos and governance of the world, a large number of capable officials and powerful generals naturally appear in the history books.

Zhuge Liang excitedly said: "the general can rest assured that Liang must be dull and diligent."

"Kong Ming doesn't have to work too hard. If he works too hard, how can he do great things?"

Zhuge Liang was a model worker during the Three Kingdoms period. It was probably Ma Su who was unable to use the Street Pavilion. He was on high alert since then. He couldn't believe anyone else. He had to do everything in his own hands. Later, he died five Zhang. It was not unreasonable for him to die too early after overwork. Liu Ye didn't want Zhuge Liang to die too early.

After Ma Jun got the profit and loss crossbow, he couldn't put it down. With Liu Ye's words, he had a lot of fantastic ideas in his mind. He almost didn't think about food and drink. He did not know how tired he was. After more than two months, he finally completed the improvement of Zhuge crossbow. He improved the crossbow into a detachable one, and each crossbow machine was as good as There are ten catapults in the catapult. After launching, they are disassembled immediately and replaced with new ones. In this way, it is not necessary to load them, which greatly improves the launching efficiency of the profit and loss crossbow.

And Ma Jun immediately reports to Liu Ye, who immediately gives Ma Jun a salary and a thousand stones, and at the same time orders mass production of the profit and loss crossbow. Because the crossbow of profit and loss crossbow is also special and can not be confused with different bows and arrows, all the blacksmiths in the army and even some folk blacksmiths were temporarily recruited by the imperial court to make Zhuge crossbows and crossbows.

At the same time, Liu Ye ordered the system of closing positions. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, hundreds of years later, the system of closing warehouse prevailed for a time. Because it depended on the productivity, the farmers had to depend on the weather. Whether the weather was dry or humid decided the grain harvest in that year. If it was not good, it might not be able to eat.

But sometimes it's a very good year. Farmers get a big harvest, so they can sell their grain and buy more land. However, some things are not so simple. It is the so-called demand that affects prices. If there is more food, there will be less demand, and the price will go down. That is to say, the so-called cheap grain hurts farmers and cannot be sold.

The so-called closing system, that is, to set up a government granary, when farmers get a good harvest, they will purchase the grain and grass in the hands of farmers at a higher price and store them for use. If the price of the ancient system was lower than that of the peasants, it would be a low price system.

The reason why Liu Ye established this system was that he not only established a long-term system to stabilize the rule and benefit the farmers, but also collected a large amount of grain and grass for military use. Because Cao Cao is about to be used, the whole country will have to mobilize its troops and horses. The grain and grass that we need to eat in a day will be calculated by tens of thousands of stones, which is an astronomical number.

It is certainly not enough to use only the grain and forage stored by the government. In fact, when there was not enough grain and grass in the past dynasties, they all had to collect it from the people. In fact, it was similar to the Ming Dynasty robbery. You must have read about the three officials of the poet Du Fu, and naturally you have some understanding of the chaos during the Anshi rebellion.

Liu Ye, on the other hand, is on guard against the danger. Instead of waiting for the war to start and grab food from the farmers, why not buy a large number of them at the beginning and win a good reputation?

After the implementation of the liquidation system, little effect was achieved. After all, the people did not understand the government's policies, so they did not dare to invest in it easily. However, under Liu Ye's hint, many aristocratic families in various states and counties competed with each other to sell grain to the warehouse, and when they saw the aristocratic families doing this one after another, they naturally followed suit one by one A large part of the grain and grass was received in this closing.

However, it was not until the end of summer and the beginning of autumn that the closing of granary really ushered in a big outbreak. This year's good year, coupled with Liu Ye's implementation of the 15 tax and 1 policy, so the farmers not only left enough food for the whole family to eat, but also sold their grain to the warehouse, and in a short time got tens of millions of stone grain and grass, which can be described as a good army.

In addition to carrying out the system of closing positions, Liu Ye also ordered the construction of new xiangxu in all parts of the country. The so-called Xiang was the name of the school in the Zhou Dynasty, while the preface was the name of the school in the Shang Dynasty. Therefore, later generations took the name of xiangxu instead of the school. In the annals of the Three Kingdoms, xiangxu has been mentioned many times.

In any era, the most important productivity is talent. Even science and technology, in essence, is driven by human continuous learning and research. However, education is the most important way to cultivate talents. Liu Ye did not ask all localities to set up higher education institutions, but set up primary schools and hire teachers. Their task is not multiple. They mainly teach books such as thousand character essays and Analects of Confucius. The main purpose is to make children read.

At this stage, with the national strength of the Han Dynasty, it is very difficult to vigorously establish schools. Liu Ye plans to solve the problem of illiteracy in most of the 13 prefectures within 10 years, and promote compulsory education within 20 years. As long as the culture is prosperous, a great country will be born.The revolution is from the bottom up, although effective, but it is extremely destructive; while the reform is from the top to the bottom, although the progress is slower, it is not so destructive.

However, Liu Ye's introduction of these policies inevitably met with resistance from the gentry in all parts of the country. First of all, many aristocratic families built fortresses to protect farmers. These farmers became the invisible registered permanent residence of the state. They did not pay taxes to the imperial court and were not recorded in the records.

Now the system of closing positions has been launched, and the interests of farmers have been protected. Many farmers under the protection of aristocratic families are eager to leave.

If the effect of closing position system on aristocratic families is still small, then the second point is that it has formed a huge impact on aristocratic families!

Why can these aristocratic families be passed down from generation to generation, and will not decline for thousands of years? The root is that they monopolized the culture, so the successive dynasties rise and fall, and they can join the WTO to assist the emperors and make contributions.
