Chapter 1359

But still, this kind of thing cannot be solved overnight.

If you want to replace the importance of the scholar-official clans, three or five years is too short, and ten or eight years may see initial results.

"Alright, let's not mention this matter for now. Let Liu Bai Tu investigate secretly. If he dies, he dies. It's nothing big, and it doesn't affect the overall situation."

Duan Yu waved his hand, then picked up the hot tea on the table, took a sip, and looked at Jia Xu and asked: "Wenhe, you just returned from the Western Regions. When you passed through Dunhuang, how were the schools run by the brothers Zhang Zhi and Zhang Chang?"

Jia Xu raised his hands and bowed: "Initial results have been seen."

"The orphans and widows among the million Yellow Turbans who moved from Jizhou to Liangzhou last year have now begun to move to Dunhuang. Zhang Zhi and Zhang Chang brothers also recruited some poor students in Dunhuang to teach together."

"Currently, there are hundreds of students."

Listening to Jia Xu's answer, Duan Yu nodded slightly.

Breaking the monopoly of knowledge is not something that can be done overnight. Especially since he is now facing the contention for the world, he still needs the support of the scholar-official clans.

Of course, he will not let this situation exist forever.

But this method needs to be done slowly, and cannot be rushed.

Therefore, when he met the brothers Zhang Zhi and Zhang Chang, he took the first step in Dunhuang Commandery.

Dunhuang Commandery is far from the Central Plains, and it is also a place where he has absolute control.

Zhang Huan's later life was teaching students.

And as the son of Zhang Huan, the brothers Zhang Zhi and Zhang Chang, who are known as the "Sage of Grass" and "Sub-Sage", are the best to complete this matter.

Starting from Dunhuang Commandery, first cultivate a group of people.

Not asking for too much knowledge, at least this group of people can be cultivated, can read and write, can judge cases, and can govern counties and townships.

Then, through this group of people, gradually spread cultural knowledge throughout Liangzhou.

Slowly form a prairie fire.

"Not enough." Duan Yu shook his head slightly.

Although Cui Lie's death is not a big deal, it also added to Duan Yu's vigilance and resentment toward the scholar-official clans.

"Write to Gai Xun, increase the investment in schools, but for those who enroll, each period and each month will be given some living subsidies, and the food and accommodation of the children enrolled in the school will all be borne by Liangzhou."

"In addition, tell the brothers Zhang Zhi and Zhang Chang to divide the teachers who teach students into levels according to class hours and contributions."

"Students take unified exams every quarter, and the excellent students are linked to the promotion level of teachers."

"Divide teachers into three levels: primary, intermediate, and advanced to reward them, give them salary compensation for virtual positions, and give priority to the children of the clan to be recommended as filial and incorrupt."

"All stationery and tools for the school are provided by Liangzhou."

"Send a letter to Yang Fu, telling the printing factory in Jixian to expand its scale, and print the privately collected books on white paper and send them to Dunhuang Commandery."

"In addition, send a letter to Xi Zhong to open schools in the Western Regions as well, ban all Western Regions languages, and unify the teaching of Chinese."

Duan Yu issued a series of orders, and everyone in the hall began to record them one by one.

"That's all for now." Duan Yu continued: "You just returned from the Western Regions, first adapt to the many things in Chang'an."

"Chang'an is now waiting for prosperity, the foundation is still shallow, and the Guanzhong people's sense of belonging to us is not very strong."

"So we must increase the recruitment of Guanzhong people, take advantage of this ascension, first exempt Guanzhong from taxes next year, and then slowly carry out land reform. In the mode of Liangzhou production teams, do not touch the interests of Guanzhong scholar-official clans for the time being, and carry out land reclamation."

"All farm tools used by the people, as well as good seeds for next year, are provided by Liangzhou."

"Implement the official entry into households that was implemented in Liangzhou the year before last, and supervise it layer by layer."

"At the same time, vigorously promote "Liangzhou Battle Records" in Guanzhong, so that the Guanzhong people know the situation in Liangzhou."

The limitations of the era make it so that even the people between states and commanderies know nothing about what happened and the situation in distant places.

This era has no electronic communication, even if it is only separated by a county, it is like two worlds.

To let the people of Guanzhong know the treatment in Liangzhou and the happiness of the people in Liangzhou, only propaganda, plus policy appeasement, can work with both hands.

"Everyone go and prepare." Duan Yu waved his sleeves: "Liangzhou troops will rest for the time being, and wait until the Son of Heaven ascends the throne to formulate the strategic direction and specific matters for next year."

After Duan Yu issued the orders, Li Ru and the others did not move.

Just when Duan Yu was strange, Jia Xu, Li Ru, Xun You, and Cheng Yu all stood up one after another and came to Duan Yu.

"Marquis, we ask the Marquis to accept the title of King."

"Marquis, we ask the Marquis to accept the title of King."

"Marquis, we ask the Marquis to accept the title of King."

"Marquis, we ask the Marquis to accept the title of King."

The four said one after another.

Duan Yu's expression was surprised.

Then he shook his head and smiled.

It seems that not only the Guanzhong scholar-official clans are anxious for him to accept the title of King and then carry out the maximum degree of interest binding.

His subordinates are the same.

Of course, this is human nature.

His subordinates have followed him from the humble beginnings in Jinyang to the present, and have already formed a huge interest group.

The Bingzhou lineage, the Liangzhou lineage...

"Alright, I will seriously consider this matter, you all go and get busy."

Minister of Works Yang Biao's residence.

Yang Feng, who was conferred the title of General of the Tiger's Might, was sitting in the hall with Yang Biao.

After listening to Yang Ci repeat the process and results of intercepting and killing Cui Lie, Yang Biao nodded with satisfaction.

"Although the Marquis of Ji will not accept the conferment of the Luoyang court, Chang'an has just been established and people's hearts are unstable. As long as Cui Lie enters Chang'an, it will cause suspicion. His death is the best ending. In this way, everyone is happy, and there won't be so many people worrying about their future." Yang Biao said slowly.

Yang Ci nodded slightly and said: "It's just that I don't know if we do this, and the Marquis of Ji knows in the future..."

"No, don't worry."

Before Yang Feng could finish speaking, Yang Biao shook his head and interrupted: "Even if the Marquis of Ji knows in the future that we did it, he will not blame us."

"Chang'an needs stability, even the Empress Dowager and the Emperor in Weiyang Palace need it, as well as the Marquis of Ji's strategists and fierce generals..."

"We do this, which can be considered as solving a trouble for the Marquis of Ji, and solving a trouble for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."

Yang Feng let out a long breath, and the heart that was hanging finally let go.

Time flies, and several days have passed.

In the blink of an eye, the day for Liu Bian's ascension to the throne has arrived.

At 5:45 AM, the street is solemn.

The copper horns set in the middle of the battlements on the walls of Weiyang Palace at the fifth watch sounded like thunder.

All the palace gates of Weiyang Palace opened one after another.

Three thousand Yulin troops wore golden armor and held halberds, laying a ten-mile scarlet carpet from the White Tiger Hall to Xianmen.

Seventy-two bronze bells standing on the imperial path on both sides rang together, shaking the universe.

The Nine-Dragon Curved Handle Dragon Carriage slowly drove out from Chengming Hall, along the scarlet carpet-covered imperial path toward the Heaven-Worshiping Platform outside Xianmen. ===== CHAPTER 1361 =====
