Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 40 Going to School
After Zhuge Xuan followed Shen Chen's method, he was safe and sound.

Although Zhu Hao brought Liu Yao's army over, he did not embarrass him, but had a good chat with him. It was not until the beginning of this year that he left Yuzhang and came to Jingzhou.

Because he was an official of Liu Biao before, and he also accomplished the task assigned by Liu Biao to the imperial court and made great contributions. Therefore, he was re-enlisted by Liu Biao as a secretary of Cao, and became a regular with Kuai Liang, Deng Yi, and Liu He. The staff who accompanied Liu Biao.

Many people think that the people around Liu Biao should be people like Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and Zhang Yun, but in fact their status is higher.

For example, Cai Mao is now the military adviser of General Zhennan and the prefect of Nanjun, responsible for the military affairs and governance of the entire Nanjun.

Therefore, Cai Mao usually stayed in the mansion of the prefect of Xiangyang Nanjun instead of following Liu Biao all day long.

In addition, Kuai Yue is now the prefect of Zhangling. The original Jingzhou was seven counties. After Liu Biao arrived in Jingzhou, he divided a large area in the southeast of Nanyang County into Zhangling County. ten kilometers.

This place guards the only way from Nanyang to Jiangxia. To the southwest is Dahong Mountain, to the northeast is Tongbai Mountain, and between the two mountains is the later Suizhou City. If you go south, you can go directly to the Jianghan Plain and go around Xiangyang.

Therefore, the geographical location here is very important. Liu Biao sent Kuai Yue to serve as the prefect of Zhangling, perhaps because he was needed to guard the place and curb the traffic arteries from north to south.

As for Zhang Yun, he is still guarding Fancheng on the other side of the river.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Liu Biao was not accompanied by people like Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and Zhang Yun all day long, but was accompanied by Zhizhong, Biejia, Book Cao, and Master Book of the state pastoral mansion.

In addition to Kuai Liang, Deng Yi, Liu He, and Zhuge Xuan, there was originally a Zhonglang named Han Song.

But Han Song was originally forced by Liu Biao to become an official. In the past few years, Liu Biao secretly worshiped heaven and earth, and wanted to build a new big man. These people are by my side on weekdays.

Today happened to be a meeting. Recently, more and more people from Guanzhong came to Xiangyang. These refugees brought not only new people, but also more chaotic governance and serious security problems.

A few people were discussing how to do it. It happened that Deng Hong came to take up the post. Hearing what happened to Zhuge Xuan, Liu Biao looked at Shen Chen and said, "Children, you are indeed very smart."

"Thank you for your compliment. These are my impressions from what I have seen and heard along the way. I still need to study hard."

Shen Chen replied.

Liu Biao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Zhizi is modest. Today we are just discussing how to resettle more than [-] households in Jingzhou. Is there any way for Zhizi?"

Shen Chen thought for a while and said: "On the way here, my uncle and I also met a lot of refugees and chatted with them. We know that this is because of the great chaos in Guanzhong. Now Guanzhong is in a mess. I heard from them that the emperor wants to move eastward to Luoyang. , which shows that Guanzhong has reached the point where it is almost impossible to survive.”

"So I think that since Guanzhong can no longer survive, the people will most likely settle in Jingzhou. It is a good thing that the population of Jingzhou is booming. Nowadays, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Dong Zhuo Rebellion in Nanyang, Dingkou has been reduced by half, and there is a lot of barren land, so that you can Settle the refugees in Nanyang."

"At this time, the state government will provide food and grass supplies, first relieve the hungry people, and then let the local governments resettle them, let them reclaim wasteland in Nanyang, raise the people, and the people will have more food and grass, and then use this to support the army, so that the army of the king will also stronger."

Tuntian?

After this strategy came out, several state capitals all looked at each other.

Why didn't they think of Tuntian?

You must know that this method was not invented by Cao Cao. There was a farming system in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

Until the Western Han Dynasty, this system was carried forward. Beginning with Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, sinners, slaves, and recruited farmers were recruited to guard the frontier and farm land to provide food for the frontier army.

It's just that the previous farming system was to grow grain on the border where grain supply was difficult, and the place chosen was often Xiliang, Youzhou, Bingzhou.

The mainland has never implemented this system before, so everyone didn't think of it at the beginning.

But now the world is different, and the princes from all over the country have formed a separatist regime. Nanyang is already the border of Jingzhou, and Wancheng, where Wenpin is stationed, is almost no different from the border area.

So they can completely copy this system.

Although there is indeed no shortage of food in Jingzhou now, who would dislike the abundance of food?
More than [-] households in Guanzhong moved to Jingzhou, which brought great pressure to Jingzhou.

And garrisoning fields can not only solve the problem of food shortages for the hungry, but also solve the problems of public security and personnel chaos.

More importantly, the extra food can support more troops and increase their power.

A good way to serve multiple purposes.

Thinking of this, Kuai Liang took the lead and said, "Duke Ming, this is a good idea. Farming can indeed solve the problem of hungry people in Guanzhong. I think it can be implemented."

"That's right, Lord Ming. Now that Nanyang is vast and sparsely populated, it's a good idea to resettle the hungry people in Guanzhong in Nanyang."

"But Henan is not peaceful now, will Nanyang become the front line?"

"After Yuan Shu was driven away, who else among the princes in Henan can compete with Duke Ming? Runan is still occupied by the Yellow Turban."

"That's true."

After discussing with several principals, they all felt that this method was very good and agreed with this proposal.

Liu Biao stroked his chin beard, saw Shen Chen's gaze becoming more and more appreciative, and said with a smile: "The child is really smart, he is called a supernatural power, but it's a pity that he is still young, otherwise he would be awarded an official position."

Shen Chen's heart trembled, and he said hastily: "This is all the knowledge I read from the books, so you and everyone in the industry know it too. It's just that Chen is young, so he can teach the younger generation."

Being a prodigy at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not a good thing. Sun Quan was the most famous prodigy at that time.Cao Chong died of illness, Zhou Buyi was killed by assassins sent by Cao Cao, and Xia Hourong died in battle with his father in Dingjun Mountain.

Although having the fame of a child prodigy would make it known to the princes earlier, but not talking about hurting Zhong Yong, just talking about the jealousy of the world may bring disaster to oneself, so it is better to keep a low profile as much as possible.

It's just that this time he came up with an idea and was forced to do so.

Because Liu Biao must follow his will. If he disobeyed, people like Han Song and Liu Wangzhi would speak out and speak out, and they would be tabooed by Liu Biao.

So it's time to take the limelight.

But that's all.

After that, he would definitely not tell Liu Biao about the saying "take the emperor to order the princes".

After talking about it, it was not famous in Xiangyang, but became a floating corpse in Hanshui.

After all, the previous inferences are well-founded.

For example, Cao Cao would massacre Xuzhou because Shen Chen analyzed from the words of passers-by that he was afraid of Yuan Shu, so he had to massacre Xuzhou to prevent Yuan Shu from occupying Huaibei.

Later Zhuge Xuan planned to leave Yuzhang because Shen Chen had met Yuan Shu and knew his character.

Now we bring up tuntian because the matter of tuntian has been recorded in books, and the system of tuntian was also common in the Han Dynasty, and it was not his first creation.

All kinds of inferences have their cleverness, but they are not miraculous.

And if he went to tell Liu Biao that Liu Xie moved east to Luoyang, he could capture him and hold the emperor to command the princes, then it would not be clever, but supernatural and rebellious.

Therefore, he must keep his mouth shut. In the next period of time, he will grow up silently, read and practice calligraphy, and wait for the opportunity to come.

Seeing that he was quite humble, everyone couldn't help but look at this kid with admiration and admire him very much.

People are most afraid of those who surpass them in talent. Envy is one of the original sins, but if that person always maintains a humble posture, belittles himself and elevates others, then others will naturally be embarrassed to attack him again.

On the contrary, those who are proud of their talents are the models of Mu Xiu Yu Lin Feng.

Like Zhao Kuo may have some ability, but his own arrogance and the fact that he met the ultimate boss just after he left the Novice Village was in vain, no matter how talented he is, it is useless.

Liu Biao nodded in satisfaction when he saw him pushing the merits, and said with a smile: "You are a child who knows how to hide. If you want to hide, then hide it. From now on, you can go to Houshan Academy and bring my name card to Song Zhongzi. That’s right, have you ever heard of Shanyang Wang?”

"Could it be the Shanyang Wang family who gave birth to two terms and three lords?"

Shen Chen asked.

Liu Biao said: "That's right. Wang Can, the eldest son of the Wang family, is in Xiangyang and sorting out books in Houshan. I don't think this person is very smart, but he is very knowledgeable and writes very well. You can ask him for advice. Qi Wukai, Pan Wenze, Zhao Kui, etc., there are now more than three hundred people in the academy, all of whom are eager to learn Confucian students, you are young, you should be more humble."

"Respect the king's life."

Shen Chen quickly responded, although he has been studying Confucian classics for several years, he has some insights.But compared with these contemporary Confucian scholars, there must be a big gap.

Although the future memory and advanced consciousness possessed in the brain are already equivalent to a very powerful plug-in.

However, all he knew was that the current situation had changed, and some details and the reasons for this situation were not clear at all.

Moreover, the skills of marching and fighting in ancient times, various techniques, field conditions, and contemporary Han customs are all very important knowledge.

Apart from knowing the situation in Xuzhou, he was blind to the situation in other places.

It is obviously a huge hidden danger to have no control over the general trend of the world without the understanding of the customs and customs of the time like the natives of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, reading and practicing calligraphy is not only about understanding things, but also learning the culture and customs of the Han Dynasty, so that when problems are encountered, they can also be solved through existing methods.

After coming out of Liu Biao, under the leadership of the guides sent by Liu Biao, the grandfather and grandson went out from the south of Xiangyang City, along the lush tree-lined path with towering trees on both sides, to Xianshan Mountain in the south of Xiangyang.

On the way, Deng Hong gave Shen Chen repeated instructions. He and the guide were in charge of sending Shen Chen to Xianshan Academy. After Shen Chen entered school, he would return to the Zhoumu Mansion to officially take up his post.

Although the grandparent and grandson are not far away, but due to his duties, he can't come to visit and take care of him often, so Shen Chen may have to take care of himself in the future.

While the sixth uncle was chattering all the way, Shen Chen was also sitting on the donkey cart, looking at the mountain at the end of the road from a distance.

Xianshan Academy.

Presumably, he can learn a lot of valuable and useful knowledge!
