According to the original arrangement, Xu Miaojin would be placed in Muzhu County as the chief official, which can be regarded as completely liberating Li Xiuning from internal affairs, but fortunately, Li Xiuning has always been concurrently serving, and the chief official of Long County is also a woman, and the officials promoted by Makuzhu County have no opinions.

This is also a matter of habit, in fact, it is more due to the fact that Chenghui has become a three-in-one for too long, and the set of Confucianism of the Great Liang does not have a big influence in Chenghuizhou, although the status of women is still not high, but as long as it can bring stability and benefits, it is indeed acceptable.

However, this does not mean that Zhou Shaoyu will blindly admire the management system of later generations, such as playing democracy or something, you must know that most of them are illiterate and short-sighted, so playing is death.

And to put it mildly, if you look at the future generations with the current mainstream thought, that is, four words to describe it, the collapse of etiquette and music!

Even though Confucianism has little influence on Chenghui now, many of the basic etiquette systems are still the same, and it is completely impossible to copy the set in later generations.

Moreover, Confucianism is not completely undesirable, it is still very good to sort out a set of correct ideological values, on this basis, Zhou Shaoyu decided to open a course, Confucianism has to be examined, and it is a compulsory exam, and it is convenient to accept Confucian students in the future, so as not to cause greater resistance, but the content of the test is more about values, such as for the country and the people.

In addition, the official position is detailed and classified, and the recruitment of officials in agriculture must be tested for agricultural knowledge, and there can be no real guy who does not know the grain, this kind of problem is simply not too much in ancient times, and the so-called useless is a scholar, which can be correctly solved to a certain extent, because in addition to Confucianism, I don't understand anything.

In addition to officials, all kinds of small officials also need to be reluctantly compared, which is similar to the administrative establishment and career establishment in later generations, and the small officials must also have room for growth, otherwise they will have no head to keep that position for the rest of their lives, which will endure not to do something greedy.

Last year, the climate in the two counties was good, it was a bumper harvest, there were no natural disasters, no bandits, no taxes, and every household had a surplus, at least there was no need to worry about hunger.

In addition to Confucianism, there are also a variety of miscellaneous studies, and encourage innovation, once the miscellaneous studies are popularized and recognized, more and more people will learn, there will definitely be a hundred schools of thought, which is what Zhou Shaoyu is happy to see, the issue of productivity is very important.

Rao is so, such a promotion still caused an uproar in the two counties, the scientific examination has a long history, I have never heard of all kinds of miscellaneous studies, fortunately, although the people of the two counties said that most of the ancestors had been officials, but in their generation, it has long declined, the literacy rate is not high, not to mention the intensive cultivation of Confucianism, but to the miscellaneous learning to understand more.

And it is basically understandable that this is inseparable from Zhou Shaoyu's propaganda, in the initial formation of the team, there is the existence of the Ministry of Agriculture, recruiting a number of good farmers to personally go down to guide, how to plant can get a higher harvest, and in fact there is indeed a certain degree of increase in production, and the people's recognition is very high.

In a word, do you want a guy who only knows what to do but doesn't know anything about it to guide you in farming? Or is it a master full of agricultural mulberry?

Still have a choice? Fools know how to choose.

Yes, such a promotion, although shocking, but also quickly accepted.

"This is also in Chenghuizhou, just change places, I'm afraid that all kinds of troubles will continue." Zhou Shaoyu sighed.

I didn't plan to take such a big step, after all, Confucianism will have opinions in the future, people have occupied the mainstream for so many years, and they have already given birth to a sense of superiority, not to mention that it is still such a big group.

But isn't this a failure to go to Beijing to run for office, without the orthodox flag to cover up, even if it occupies the entire Chenghui Prefecture, there will not be many scholars to vote, wild forces, people can't look down on it.

There is a shortage of talents, so I have to cultivate them slowly, as long as they are strong enough to form a general trend, and they are not afraid of these obstacles when they change the pattern.

"It's a pity that the population is still too small." Li Xiuning's focus is different, few people think that there is no way to recruit soldiers, not to mention that now everyone has food, it is even more impossible, if it is not for Wuxian to recruit a group of displaced people, the soldiers are still so few people, they can't fight at all, after all, do you still need someone to stay.

Zhou Shaoyu was happy and said with a smile: "If there are too many people, Da Liang will let it go here?" ”

Officially because of the chaos in Chenghuizhou, and next to Miao Village, and the population is still small, even if it takes a lot of effort to fight down, it takes a lot of time to maintain, and the cost of this, how many years of taxes have to be collected to recover, it is not cost-effective and not worth it.

"If you want someone, let's wait for news from my third uncle." Zhou Shaoyu continued.

Large-scale rebellion and uprising in Shudi, the people were displaced, as long as the mountain on Wednesday took the planned water village and formed a fleet, it was possible to go up the river to Shuzhou to recruit people, and all the way directly to Zhuzhu County.

Moreover, Jinju was plundered by the Turks, and the people fled south, although there were no rivers in the north and south in this direction, but they could also send people to try to persuade them, as long as they could go to the Yangtze River valley, they could send boats to receive them.

"If there are too many people, can we afford to raise them?" Li Xiuning raised her eyebrows expressionlessly.

"It's up to you." Zhou Shaoyu looks like you behave well, and the burden will be handed over to you.

Li Xiuning frowned slightly, but he understood what he meant, Chenghui Prefecture has one prefecture and five counties, and now Zhou Shaoyu only occupies two counties, and the others are controlled by 'local tyrants'. will have the ability to feed people. That's what it means.

But the problem is that there are not enough people under his hands, plus the newly accepted homeless Xinding, there are only more than 1,700 people when they are full, and it is not difficult to take Chenghuizhou.

But once the entire territory of Chenghui Prefecture is taken, such a big move, it is difficult not to be targeted by the Xingwu army in Xingwu County, it is a regular army, not a level, and the number of people is 20,000, which is a big problem.

In addition, even the equipment can't keep up, even if the relationship between Zhou Shaoyu and Miao Zhai is good, it is impossible for people to sell it all the time, and there are always reservations, in addition, the weapons that have been obtained by the bandits are miscellaneous, and the quality is not high.

And now Li Xiuning has made an iron shop, due to the lack of manpower, it is not bad to have a knife out a day, let alone anything else.

"Hahaha, you are better than me in the war, but otherwise, let me come and let you see what class struggle is." Seeing Li Xiuning's embarrassment, Zhou Shaoyu was happy.

Those private armed forces, that is, grew up by sucking the blood of ordinary people, and the contradiction between the two was great, but there was no leader, and there was no strength.

"I'm going to let Chen Shuozhen come here, she is good at inciting and agitating, and then let Yang Miaozhen follow, bring a team of special forces, and play with civil strife."

Zhou Shaoyu planned like this, which has a lot of benefits, as long as there is no need to consume the existing troops, and everything is going well, it is impossible to disband them all when it is instigated, there are always hundreds of recruits.

In that way, Chen Shuo can really play another banner to confuse others, and he will not think that Zhou Shaoyu's side will continue to be powerful.

"Of course, we still have to beware of someone who wants to take advantage of the fisherman, and we must send more spies here to be vigilant at all times, and send troops when necessary, but it will take time to implement the plan and complete it, so there is no hurry." Zhou Shaoyu smiled, it is indeed not difficult to take Chenghuizhou, but the problem of troop and population consumption must be considered, otherwise let alone laying a foundation to spy on the world, but the Xingwu army is enough for Zhou Shaoyu to drink a pot.
