Chapter 1116

"Ding, congratulations to the host for staying in Ba-Shu for half a year. Would you like to check in with Ba-Shu as a permanent location?"

"Note: After setting a permanent location, there will be one check-in opportunity every month, which can be stored, up to twelve times."

"Yes!"

Before he knew it, he had already stayed in Ba-Shu for half a year. Counting the time since he came to this world, it should have been more than seven months.

Looking carefully at Ba-Shu after Qin Mu's reform, everyone's faces were filled with smiles.

There were no high-ranking officials or nobles here, no oppression, and everyone liked this place from the bottom of their hearts.

And they all knew that it was Qin Mu who let them eat their fill and dress warmly.

Suddenly, Qin Mu was walking on the street and saw that the academy was still using bamboo slips. Only then did he realize what was missing.

That's right, it was paper!

Besides paper, there were various kinds of knowledge. Qin Mu spent another month reforming the academy.

The reformed academy was uniformly called a school, and some knowledge was taught for free.

The school was divided into three major subjects: one was law, one was Confucianism, and another was mathematics!

And behind these subjects were countless small subjects. The small subjects included the academics of the Hundred Schools of Thought.

However, at present, the small subjects in Ba-Shu were still not sound. For example, some of the most central knowledge of the Agricultural School was missing.

And the Mohist school, the Daoist school, etc., all these required Qin Mu to find those people and let them come to Ba-Shu to teach knowledge.

The major subjects were compulsory, and the ones behind were all chosen by oneself. At least choose three!

Qin Mu stated that within half a year, he would let everyone in the five major cities of Ba-Shu become literate!

In this month, Qin Mu also researched the latest papermaking technique, which directly made the entire Ba-Shu no longer lack paper.

There was even some surplus paper that could be sold. It's a pity that Ba-Shu's talents were not enough. Until now, there were only those few people sent by the system.

Fortunately, although Ba-Shu's talents were insufficient, the population was quite good, with a total of more than seven million people.

That's right, Qin Mu also specifically conducted a statistical survey. Among the more than seven million people, nearly three million were children and the elderly.

Among the remaining four million, more than half were male!

This gave Qin Mu the capital to expand the army, as long as his food and weapons were sufficient.

At this time, the system's voice suddenly appeared in Qin Mu's mind, which directly made him overjoyed.

"Ding, monthly check-in successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining..."

Zhang Lu, Tang Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Zhao Yun, Liu Bei.

Three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards, one large iron mine!

In an instant, a piece of knowledge appeared in Qin Mu's mind. It was a map of Ba-Shu with a mark on it.

Clearly, that mark was the large iron mine. Now he had the courage to expand the army, but unfortunately, food still needed to be purchased from other places.

However, the talents this time were quite good.

Zhang Lu, the inventor of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect.

Tang Jian Yong, a qualified merchant.

Mi Zhu, a wealthy merchant. Liu Bei's success was inseparable from him.

If the three of them did business together, I'm afraid they could make Ba-Shu earn a fortune every day!

"Mi Zhu, Tang Jian Yong, Zhang Lu, take orders.

You now establish an official caravan belonging to Ba-Shu, and privately establish a private caravan.

Before going out to sea to find high-yield crops like potatoes, you are responsible for selling our Ba-Shu paper externally and purchasing grain and grass." Ba-Shu's paper could only be purchased by locals at a low price, and other outsiders could only buy it at a high price, which eliminated the possibility of someone secretly selling paper.

As for locals taking it outside to sell?

Sorry, if discovered, they would be expelled from Ba-Shu and their residency qualification in Ba-Shu would be cancelled.

In order to effectively manage Ba-Shu, Qin Mu specifically registered all Ba-Shu residents, and everyone had their own identity proof.

This was somewhat similar to the ID card of later generations, but it was much simpler.

Fortunately, although there were no famous talents in Ba-Shu, there were quite a few ordinary backbone talents.

Otherwise, the workload of seven million people would probably not be completed even if Zhuge Liang was exhausted.

Everyone only needed to take out their ID card, and it wouldn't take half an hour to know if it was true or false.

Only after verifying their identity could they purchase paper at a low price, and it was limited!

Each person could purchase at most one thousand sheets at a time, and they needed to state the purpose.

This eliminated the possibility of someone privately selling paper.

You know, one thousand sheets was already a lot, enough for those scholars to use for more than half a month, but if taken to sell, it might not be enough.

Low-priced paper was enough to attract many outside scholars to come and live in Ba-Shu and become a part of Ba-Shu. Qin Mu had this idea from the very beginning.

There were quite a few people in this world who had talent but no money, and there were many people who had money but no talent.

As long as Qin Mu monopolized this part of the talent, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before whether it was Qin Shi Huang, Xiang Yu, or Liu Bei, they would all lack talent and thus collapse without being attacked!

Qin Mu looked at Liu Bei, thinking that the system couldn't give him useless talents.

"You?" Before Qin Mu finished speaking, Liu Bei ran over and grabbed Qin Mu's hand tightly, saying with tears in his eyes.

"You must be my Lord!

Bei is truly too excited, please don't mind, Lord. Bei has never met a wise Lord in his life!

And the Lord is the wisest Lord Bei has ever met!

Please let Bei assist the Lord!"

Liu Bei's enthusiastic appearance scared Qin Mu into hurriedly pulling his hand back, thinking to himself, this guy wouldn't really be a gay, would he?

Bei,"

"You shut up first!" Seeing that Liu Bei still wanted to go on and on, Qin Mu hurriedly spoke to stop him. If this guy started talking, I'm afraid it would be endless.

"I know what work to give you, don't pester me anymore. I'll give you ten thousand taels of gold now, let you go and build a force!"

Seeing Liu Bei's enthusiastic appearance and that hypocritical expression, as well as those constantly flickering small eyes, Qin Mu immediately thought of Liu Bei's role. Perhaps only Liu Bei could complete this kind of thing!

"You go to Xianyang to make friends with the powerful and noble. I will give you all three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards. You go there and build an intelligence network for me.

Not only do I want news of all parties, I also want news from the Jianghu.

It's best to make more friends with Jianghu people. Their strength might be insignificant (Money's good), but perhaps they can play a not-so-small role sometimes.

Can you do it?" Qin Mu stared at Liu Bei and said seriously.

At this time, Liu Bei was no longer crying and pretending. He also looked at Qin Mu seriously.

"Bei guarantees to complete the mission!" Liu Bei's sudden seriousness made Qin Mu feel a bit unaccustomed.

Perhaps this was the most real Liu Bei. Acting for a lifetime, perhaps it was really tiring.

Qin Mu didn't know why he suddenly hugged Liu Bei and said.

"In the future, you can show your most real self here, no need to suppress your feelings."

I don't know if Qin Mu's words really moved Liu Bei. The corners of Liu Bei's eyes were a bit moist, but he wiped them away with his sleeve, not letting Qin Mu notice.

"Lord, no need to say more, Bei will go now!"

Looking at Liu Bei's gradually receding back, Qin Mu only now knew that the people summoned by the system probably all carried the memories of their entire lives.
