In fact, Liangzhou's problem is not only food and grass, but also soldiers and horses. Almost all the troops that Liangzhou can fight are deployed in southern Liangzhou, Yizhou, and Tingzhou. The northern part of Liangzhou is not said to be a vacuum, but the defensive strength is

It was quite weak. This was because Yang Ji shamelessly brought Yang Guang's five thousand cavalry back from Daxing intact, which relieved a lot of pressure. Otherwise, the situation would be even worse.

Now that the arms race has begun, the troops and horses deployed in southern Liangzhou have also been trapped. They must not be moved. If they withdraw in disgrace, not only will the arms race plan go bankrupt, but they will even be killed by Murong Fu.

The danger of taking advantage of the situation.

As for the 30,000 troops in Tingzhou and Yizhou, they cannot be moved lightly. Not only must they deter the countries in the Western Regions, East and West Turks, and Tiele tribes, but more importantly, they must ensure the safety of more than 100,000 households in Tingzhou.

The best way now is actually to kill Tuyuhun, so that the southern troops can be withdrawn. However, whether it is a war or a confrontation, there must be no shortage of military rations stored at the border. Just look at Yu Shinan's face and look like he will go on strike at any time.

Yang Ji also knew that it was a bit difficult for him to look at his expression, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Yang Ji thought hard for a long time and suddenly said to Master Yin: "General Yin, after you go down, get me 10,000 slave troops. If there is a war between us and Tuyuhun, let the slave troops go into battle."

"Slave army?" Master Yinshi looked at Yang Ji in confusion: "General Manager, where did the slave army come from?"

Yang Ji explained: "It is to select 10,000 prisoners who perform well in peacetime, assign these people to one place separately, and then form ten battalions according to the military system, each battalion has one thousand people, and set up a regiment of 200 people under it.

A hundred-man brigade, a fifty-man team, or even ten people. The chief officers at all levels are served by our army, and each battalion is equipped with two hundred elite soldiers. In addition to supervising the prisoners, these soldiers also told the prisoners that the Sui Dynasty was prosperous and became the people of the Sui Dynasty.

good

Department, the benefits of being loyal to the Sui Dynasty. He also told these captives: If there is a war in the future, they can also participate in the war. As long as they kill two people on the battlefield, they will be exempted from labor service. Killing five people will give them a third-class free citizen. Killing ten people will give them a second-class free citizen.

etc. If they can continue to perform meritorious service, they will be granted first-class civilian status. Not only will they receive rewards and titles like other soldiers, but they will also enjoy the rights to equalize land, marry and have children, and their children can also study with Han children."

When everyone heard this, they all took a breath of cold air, but they couldn't help but give Yang Ji a thumbs up in their hearts. If they did it this way, it would undoubtedly give the prisoners hope of escaping from the abyss, and to a large extent, their resistance could be broken down.

, and all the strong and outstanding people have been picked away. Even if the remaining people are dissatisfied, they will not be able to make a big storm. When there is a shortage of scapegoats in the future, another group will be picked away. Anyway, once the slave trade starts, Liangzhou will not be short.

Slaves, there is no shortage of scapegoats.

As for the so-called "marry a wife, have children, obtain land" and other incentives that seem wonderful, they are actually unattainable dreams. After all, you can kill people on the battlefield, and others will kill you. It may be possible to kill two people, but it is impossible to kill fifteen

Those who can still survive are really brave people. It would not be a loss for the Sui Dynasty to accept them as second-class citizens, not to mention that these people are still prisoners.

The prisoners set a good example, allowing more people to see hope and have hope in life. It may not be able to completely resolve the riots, but this trick can divide the prisoners who share the same origin. Even if someone riots, it will be easy for the officials to suppress it.

Much more importantly, driven by this hope, this slave army will become very fierce on the battlefield.

"I think the general manager's strategy is feasible." Yang Shanhui next to him said with a smile: "Not only do the slave soldiers not need to mobilize the population of our Sui Dynasty, but they also don't need to deliberately raise them, because their military rations are included in their daily diet. More importantly,

The best thing is that there is no need to pay military pay, and there is no need for pension after death in battle..."

Yu Shinan frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded to Yang Ji with bright eyes. He now approved of this kind of profitable deal.

"General Manager, I'll make arrangements right now." Master Yinshi couldn't sit still anymore and stood up to ask for orders. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Not to mention, he was also very ashamed. Thanks to his surname "Yin", he even thought about a conspiracy.

If you don't come out, you will really be embarrassed by the word "Yin".

"Okay, let's get ready." Yang Ji nodded, but he breathed a sigh of relief. This was another one sent away.

Master Yinshi walked a few steps and suddenly asked: "General Manager, is there any other way?"

Yang Ji shook his head and said with a smile: "Whatever you do, don't be afraid of anything happening. If anyone dares to riot, they will be killed without mercy."

What he has to do now is to control the overall situation, rather than take care of everything in detail. In the past, when there was no one, he had to do it himself. Now that these people have become more and more powerful, there is no need to take care of everything in detail.

.Everything is done as a matter of course, and a little understanding is enough. If the person in charge is too shrewd, the generals under his command will lose face, lose their sense of presence, and have no chance of promotion.

"The final general will never let down the expectations of the General Manager." Master Yin Shi bowed solemnly and bowed to leave.

Next, the piled-up matters were sorted out one by one, and everyone left one after another.

.....

"Mr. Liu, please wait. I have something to discuss with you." Yang Ji left Liu Zhuo and Liu Xuan behind, preparing to inquire about education.

In the 20th year since the founding of the emperor, Yang Jian was under the control of aristocratic families and nobles in the world. He had to abolish the Imperial College, the four schools and the prefecture and county schools, and established only the Imperial College. From then on, the education of the Sui Dynasty existed in name only.

As for the rest of the so-called Taixue, they are actually aristocratic colleges opened for members of the aristocratic families. They can be understood as places of study, but they are more of a gilded place for aristocratic families. When employing people in the imperial court, they generally first consider Taixue students. If Taixue really does not have

Only suitable candidates will be recruited through examinations from preparatory officials recommended from various places.

Yang Jian transferred education to Liangzhou, which seemed to be "civilizing barbarians", but in fact it did not conflict with his teaching philosophy. Yang Ji used the land annexation case to reorganize Liangzhou's officialdom, although it also conformed to

Yang Jian and Yang Guang promoted many young people from poor families, but in fact, most of the state-level official positions were held by people with strong backgrounds.

There is no way. After all, more than 90% of the talents in this era come from aristocratic families, but their loyalty to the Sui Dynasty is far lower than that of the family and the interest groups to which the family belongs. This is absolutely unacceptable to Yang Jian, but he can't.

Need not.

Let alone the imperial court, if any industry wants to operate normally, it is actually impossible to leave behind the family members.

In order to plan for future generations, Yang Jian used devious tactics to gradually wrest the monopoly of knowledge from the hands of aristocratic families by "educating the barbarian children of Liangzhou".

When Yang Ji was in the capital, he discussed in detail the four schools, county schools, and prefecture schools with Yang Jian and Yang Guang. The four schools can be said to be a combination of kindergarten and primary school. The school system lasts for six years, and the educational content focuses on literacy and the latest

Mainly basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

In Yang Jian's vision, the three-year county school is a place to cultivate management talents. Although it is difficult for the talents who come out of the county school to be outstanding in resourcefulness and help the world, they can perfectly carry out the tasks awarded by the imperial court.

Government orders are done well. Personal abilities may not be outstanding, but they form the cornerstone of the imperial court's management of the world. The main knowledge they learn is Confucianism, history, arithmetic, and law, and the "Policy Theory" written once a month is to assess their learning results.

One of the ways.

The academic system of the higher-up state school is also three years. The teaching content is based on the foundation of the county school and in-depth study of each academic field. Although it is also unlikely to produce evil talents, it can cultivate top talents in a certain field.

For example, in arithmetic, the county school teaches basic operations and applications, but in the county school, more profound knowledge is taught. This is mainly a place for professional talents, and it is also the fundamental force that will promote the progress of the Sui Dynasty in the future.

As for the ultimate goal, it is to integrate the three studies into Taixue and make Taixue a place for advancement among state schools. As long as students are qualified to enter Taixue, they will have an honorary title in the military or officialdom, dedicated to serving all walks of life in the country.

industry charting the way forward.

Of course, it is not easy to implement these things. At present, what Yang Ji needs to do is to study the three local studies.

"What are the orders from the Grand Master?"

"I want to know what the textbooks of the four schools are." Er Liu is not a counselor, but they are proficient in hundreds of schools of thought. They are definitely the greatest masters and educators of Confucianism in this era; the selection of textbooks for county schools and state schools

, they definitely know better than Yang Ji, but they need to care about enlightenment reading.

""The Thousand-Character Classic", "Initial Calculation" and "The Analects of Confucius."" Liu Xuan said with a smile: ""The Thousand-Character Classic" is for enlightenment; "Primary Calculation" is for simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and with the help of the General Manager,

New numbers and arithmetic questions will also become very concise and clear; as for "The Analects of Confucius" is the first step to promote the teaching materials, one is to know "The Analects of Confucius"

There are many people who read "The Analects of Confucius". Even the villagers in the countryside mostly know this book, which is easier for people to accept. Secondly, it is simple and easy to understand. There is nothing unfamiliar in the whole text. Anyone who can read can teach students even if they don't know how to read.

People who are literate and experienced can also give plausible explanations based on the sentences recited by a child."

Yang Ji said: "There is no problem with "The Thousand Character Essay" and "First Calculation". However, "The Analects" may seem simple, but it is profound and profound, and contains many principles of doing things in the world. It is still a bit obscure for a child.

More importantly, it’s boring.”

"Boring?" Liu Xuan glanced at Liu Zhuo and said with a wry smile: "For a child, "The Analects of Confucius" is indeed boring."

"Exactly!" Liu Zhuo nodded and asked Yang Ji: "Since the chief manager raised this question, he must have some ideas."

Yang Ji said: "What I mean is to add idiom stories, which is to explain the origin of some idioms in the form of simple, straightforward and interesting short essays, and finally tell the children the truth. For example, Handan learns to walk, boasts, talks on paper, goes in the opposite direction, and pleads guilty.

Once the idiom has its origin, it is very suitable to be written into an interesting, philosophical, and thought-expanding short story."

"I probably understand what the general manager means. Let's use the idiom of talking about war on paper!" Liu Zhuo stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The story begins with Zhao Kuo learning the art of war when he was young and being good at talking about war. His father Zhao She couldn't beat him either.

Later, I copied the military manual without knowing how to adapt it, and was defeated by the Qin soldiers in the Battle of Changping. Then I told the children that empty talk cannot solve practical problems, and finally persuaded the children to be down-to-earth. Is this what you mean? "

"That's right." Yang Ji said with a smile: "The children will gradually understand some common sense after listening to the story for a long time. But I can only talk about it. How to write it specifically requires two gentlemen to do it."

"Don't worry, Chief Manager, this matter is not difficult." Liu Xuan said with a smile.
