Chapter 321
Liaodong County, Xiangping City, the silver moon is high.
"Master!" Yang Yi, dressed in a Confucian robe, hurried into the lobby of Gongsun's mansion.
He quickly handed over the secret letter in his hand.
Gongsun Du, who was sitting in the lobby, took it and opened it by candlelight to read it. He read ten lines at a glance and showed joy.
"Great things will be accomplished!"
Since the news of the court's announcement of the establishment of the Tanghai Direct Administrative Region spread, Gongsun Du has been restless.
He knows a lot about what Liu Yu did in Youbeiping County.
The landlords and clans in the county were bullied by that guy and left their hometowns.
Not to mention Tanghai County, even the land around the county town, although it has entered other counties, has been developed by that person.
It's unreasonable.
Moreover, rumors have appeared in various places in Liaodong recently.
It is said that Liu Yu will come to take over Liaodong soon.
One of the rumors made Gongsun Du very angry.
All the land was taken over by the government.
Land was the lifeblood of their clan.
How could the Liu family kid just take it away?
It was not right.
Gongsun Du had sent people to Luoyang to inquire.
The news he got back made him feel like he was in the abyss.
He wanted to spend money to find a way to stop this, but no one took it.
Liu Yu was a favorite of the emperor.
Even the great eunuch Jian Shuo had dealings with him.
Jian Shuo now had more than ten attendants, controlling part of the government and the Xiyuan Army.
Such news made Gongsun Du lose hope in Luoyang.
But he didn't want to give up the land in his hands.
That was the land that the Liaodong Gongsun family had been managing for a long time.
Without the land, they would not even be a clan in the future.
After discussing with his confidants, he rushed to the gap before the court officials had left and the power was still in the handover.
Unite with other local clans, and then connect with Wuhuan, Sanhan, and Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju of Yuyang to rebel in one fell swoop.
Create a Liaodong Empire.
Get rid of the control of the court.
If you don't rebel, you will have to watch your family's foundation being smashed.
There is still a glimmer of hope if you fight hard.
If you become bigger, unite with Wuhuan Sanhan, and connect with Xianbei, you will also have the qualifications to challenge the court.
In the end, even if you can't defeat the court's army, you can take the property plundered from so many counties and run to Sanhan or Xianbei.
It's better than surrendering now.
Gongsun Du folded the secret letter and put it on the candlelight, huh!
The precious paper was quickly ignited, and the flames rose, with a scorching temperature, glowing and heating in the hall.
"Zhang Chun of Yuyang has agreed to start a rebellion."
Gongsun Du lowered his voice, but couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
"As long as we raise the flag, the other side will respond."
"They contacted Wuhuan, and we contacted Xianbei."
"The four-party coalition forces will encircle and suppress together, and see what Tanghai City can do to stop our siege."
Gongsun Du stood up, his eyes gradually became sharp.
"If you want to take our Gongsun family's land, it depends on whether you have the fate."
"Have the clans in each county been contacted?" Gongsun Du asked with his hands behind his back.
"The contact has been completed." Yang Yi replied respectfully.
"But..."
"But what?" Gongsun Du frowned, "Say it!"
Yang Yi hurriedly said: "Several clans refused to join, and their attitude was tough."
"The key is that most of those clans are doing shady business, and they don't have much land."
"They don't want to fight to the death."
"Besides, they may have the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight..."
His voice became lower and lower.
Gongsun Du's eyes became more fierce, and he ordered without turning his head: "Let Liu Yi gather the soldiers, kill them overnight, and directly..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and Gongsun Du raised his hand to his neck and scratched it hard.
"I understand." Yang Yi nodded in response, and then went down to prepare.
Gongsun Du, with his hands behind his back, came to the lobby window, opened the window and looked at the sky.
The moonlight scattered on the ground, with a cold light.
But it was not as cold as the light flashing in Gongsun Du's eyes.
...
Tanghai City, the hall of the official temple was full of commanders.
Liu Yu sat in the main seat and ordered the internal affairs.
"Papermaking, movable type printing, simplified and traditional Chinese characters comparison table, compulsory education, animal husbandry technology..."
One after another, books with new names were circulated among the commanders.
Whether it was military officers or civil officials, the shock brought to them by these books was like a bolt from the blue.
Jia Xu was out of character, and his usual silence had long gone.
He held the papermaking technique in his hands and said excitedly, "In the future, I'm afraid everyone will be able to buy and read books!"
"Paper is no longer a precious item that only the rich can enjoy!"
Zhong Yao was more interested in the simplified and traditional Chinese character comparison table, "Simplified Chinese characters are much easier to write than traditional Chinese characters."
"And, after simplification, it is easier to remember than traditional Chinese. "
"I'm afraid that both the learning speed and the writing speed will be greatly improved."
"With other books, I'm afraid that Tanghai County will produce a large number of scholars!"
Cai Yong and Chen Qun were more interested in the books of nine-year compulsory education.
The two flipped through the books and couldn't imagine what kind of Confucian scholars could learn such novel knowledge.
Cai Yong was also a well-read person, but he had never seen or heard of these books.
That is, after coming to Tanghai and hearing the multiplication formula, he could understand the math book a little.
It is similar to the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic.
"Postpartum care for sows..." Zhang Fei read a book on breeding with great interest.
"It turns out that there are so many things to say about raising pigs."
"I didn't know it before."
"Isn't it enough for the pigs to be full and not hungry? But there are so many things to do. ”
“No wonder the pigs I raised with the farmers died from time to time.”
“It turned out that we didn’t take good care of them.”
“We have to study hard.” Zhang Fei was inspired by the book in his hand. He read carefully page by page and absorbed all kinds of knowledge about breeding.
Liu Yu did not disturb the commanders who were immersed in the book.
Leave them enough time.
Finally, after the commanders were slightly satisfied, he began to explain the tasks.
“Mr. Yang is responsible for leading the civil servants to study the conversion of simplified and traditional Chinese characters and the phonetic fast literacy method first, and then carry out the city-wide cultural literacy work at night.”
“Complete the literacy of the whole city of Tanghai within one month.”
“Any people who have not passed the three thousand commonly used characters, regardless of gender, age or status, will be deprived of their family and neighbors’ quota for land allocation.”
“When you learn, when you pass the exam, when you will restore the quota and wait for the allocation of land. "
As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, Cai Yong shook his head and said firmly: "It is absolutely impossible within a month!"
"Although I have never taught the basics of literacy, I still know the speed involved."
"It is not easy to remember two or three words a day."
"Those who can learn five words should memorize them strongly, and there will definitely be great development in the future."
"And Liu Qumu actually wants ordinary people to learn 3,000 words within a month. Even if it is changed to simplified characters, it is a slightly simpler thing, which is absolutely impossible to accomplish!"
