Chapter 879 Uninvited Guest (5)


    "Wenyuan has recruited two hundred Qiang cavalry..." Xu Shu walked in with a briefing on recent times in Pingyang written by Zao Zhi, and then said, "...the speed is quite fast..."


    Zhang Liao had just arrived and there were no extra troops for him to lead. Therefore, after allocating a hundred Bingzhou cavalry to him, Fei Qian asked him to go to Shangjun to recruit Qiang cavalry.


    It just so happened that Zhang Liao and Bai Shiqiang also had some friendship, so they left happily.


    ?? Baishi Qiang is now almost becoming a transportation brigade. The daily necessities and even some luxury goods purchased from Feiqian have become popular goods in Xiqiang. Business is booming...


    “In the Minglun Palace Debate, Zhao Zixie won the championship?”


    Fei Qian opened the envelope and looked at the briefing sent by Pingyang, scratching his head a little.


    The other messages were all ordinary matters, nothing special. Only one of them was a bit puzzling to Fei Qian.


    Linghu Shao held the first sutra discussion in the Minglun Hall of the Shoushan Academy at the Shoushan Academy. As a result, the person who was recognized as the first place was neither the students from the Shoushan Academy nor the nobles from nearby Pingyang. It was Zhao Zixie, a Zhao merchant from Hanoi...


    What the **** is this?


    Oh, no, who is this?


    Hanoi native?


    When Fei Qian mentioned Hanoi, the first thing he thought of was the Sima family, but he didn’t notice whether there was a Zhao family? Those who can perform well in scriptures and commentaries are at least not ordinary nobles.


    But Fei Qian really didn''t have much impression of Zhao Shang.


    “Yuan Zhi, do you know who this Zhao Zixie is?” Fei Qian asked.


    ?? Xu Shu glanced at the name pointed out by Fei Qian in the briefing, thought about it, and then shook his head and said: "I haven''t heard of this person when I was in Pingyang. He must have just arrived recently, right?"


    “The Academy’s reputation has grown...” Fei Qian put down the briefing sheet and sighed slightly.


    There are too many things going on now, and there is no way to sort them out effectively, just like the Academy.


    What is the purpose of establishing the Academy?


    ?In addition to its role in opening up people’s wisdom and cultivating talents, there is also a very important reason, which is to cultivate Feiqian’s own cultural heritage.


    And what is culture?


    Some people say that culture should be spiritual wealth, such as literature, art, education, science, etc., but in fact, culture is a product that serves a specific social and political class under certain social conditions.


    One of the important reasons why the Shandong gentry can control the imperial court and not many people find it strange or have any problems is that the gentry in Jizhou and Yuzhou have their own cultural voice.


    Not to mention Yuzhou, Yingchuan has produced countless people who served as officials in the imperial court and local governments, let alone those who have achieved academic achievements but have not served as officials. There are many people of this type in Jizhou. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many scholars between Zhao and Qi. Especially the Jixia Academy in Qi State was the top academic palace where a hundred schools of thought contended. Mencius was an eloquent and humorous person. Chun Yukun, "Tan Tianyan" Zou Yan, "Diaolong Xi" Zou Xi, "Tiankou Pian" Tian Pian, "One day served a thousand people" Tian Ba, "Qianliju" Lu Zhonglian, and even Xunzi and others, who were rigorous and agile in literary thinking, once traveled here to study, talked loudly, and competed with each other to offer suggestions.


    ?Fei Qian’s original idea was to make this academy a new academic system and derive richer cultural branches, but it seems that it is not possible yet...


    This problem may require a stronger academic leader. Fei Qian himself has no way, because he is indeed incapable of doing anything. This kind of thing was originally the most suitable for Cai Yong to do, but according to Cai Yong''s temper…


    When old man Cai encounters something happy, he will probably talk happily and then drink water for two or three days, which is probably fine. But when encountering such trouble, he will probably impatiently throw up his sleeves and turn around and leave, and then shrink back. It is more likely that the small courtyards will become unified.


    Therefore, it is still somewhat difficult.


    "How many refugees have gone north recently?" Fei Qian sighed helplessly, and then put aside the matters at the academy for the time being. He wouldn''t be able to worry about that for a while anyway, so he should take care of the things in front of him first.


    Xu Shu was very familiar with this, so he didn''t need to look up the information at all and replied: "In total, there were twelve batches of people going north, a total of more than 6,800 people, and they spent more than 400 shi on food and grass. There are more than 300 pieces of Gebu, which are mainly consumed by slashing and fire tools, etc. We have ordered Pingyang to send another batch of supplies. "


    After sorting out the refugees, they were registered according to their place of origin, relatives, etc., and the basic order was re-established. Then they formed the most basic community, with half designated and half elected grassroots managers, who would receive and distribute production Living utensils, and finally, if all the people in a community can reach Yinshan, the manager will give 20% more land and materials as a reward.


    Of course, there are also punitive measures. In addition to replenishing some necessary supplies, such as salt and dry food, the simple barracks set up along the way will also check whether the personnel on the list have been damaged too much. If anything is found, If there is an abnormality, we will start to check the situation of the people and officials in this community, and deal with it according to the circumstances. If there is corruption or the like, we will kill it...


    ?Although it is not very perfect, it only needs to maintain the basic function on the road. Then after arriving at Yinshan, it can be reorganized. The grassroots managers with outstanding performance can also be promoted and used as formal petty officials.


    "If there are 50,000 people in Yinshan, we can plant some bean sprouts, millet and the like before spring, and when the autumn harvest comes, our life will be much easier..." Fei Qian couldn''t help but say with some longing.


    There are many good places in Bingzhou, but there are only a few people. Now as long as there is a supplement of population, the subsequent development will naturally be more guaranteed. With a large population and an increase in food production, the supply of troops will certainly not be a problem.


    Xu Shu also nodded, and then said: "Now I am worried about the workshop... Well, we also need things in the north, and we also need supplies here... Zijian has lost a lot of weight now..."


    "Haha... Thank you for your hard work, Zijian. Well, we also need to add more manpower to Zijian. The main reason is that we can''t find more people like Zijian who are willing to do the work of the workshop down to earth..." Fei Qian It''s also a headache. Nowadays, most of the nobles'' children are only willing to study Confucian classics, and they still look down upon these instruments and techniques.


    “I just don’t know what happened to Taishi Ziyi who arrived in Heishan?” After talking about Taishi Ming, Fei Qian thought of Taishi Ci. Now Taishi Ci is actually Gongsun Zan’s subordinate, but he doesn’t seem to be very important. According to Fei Qian''s memory, after Taishi Ci went north to Liaodong, he returned to his hometown and then came up with the story of asking Liu Bei for reinforcements...


    ??Taishici and Gongsun Zan, what happened during this period that led to the two people finally parting ways?


    “…Report!” A soldier ran in from outside and went to the hall to report, “…the Marquis of Linjin and the Marquis of Duxiang came with more than 800 soldiers and have arrived eighty miles outside the pass!”
