king of war

Chapter 99

Since then, the imperial court and Liaodong fell into a very strange situation. The imperial court never mentioned Liaodong again, as if this place did not exist at all, and Qin Rongshuai, the newly appointed Duke, was completely ignored.

Qin Rongshuai thinks this is very good. If you don't disturb my farming, then we will live in peace. If you disturb me, I will let you know why the flowers are so popular.

Now Qin Rongshuai is most concerned about the cultivation of talents. After five years of training, the Youth Project has recruited more than 5000 students. The first batch of students have already graduated from elementary school. Started to work.

These 5000 people seem like a lot, but they are far from enough.

Qin Rongshuai's plan is to train at least [-] talents with junior high school diplomas within ten years, so that he can support Liaodong's modern industrial construction and territorial power management.

At the same time, when he began to promote the metric system of weights and measures in the industrial system, he also made every effort to promote simplified Chinese characters to literacy for workers, forced night schools to be held in various factories he founded, and raised wages for literate workers.

Qin Rongshuai was worrying about how to quickly improve the education effect. Suddenly one day, a guard reported that a scholar came outside and said that he had something important to discuss with the Duke of Liao.

Qin Rongshuai felt a little curious. He had nothing to do anyway, so he called the scholar in.

The book was growing well, the scholar had a fair face and no beard, he could be regarded as a good-looking talent, wearing a green robe with a round collar and a Confucian scarf on his head, he was dressed like a man.

As soon as this person entered the door, he saw Qin Rongshuai and stared at him without saying a word.

Qin Rongshuai took a look at him, and seeing that he didn't speak, he asked curiously, "What's the matter with you?"

"My lord, you are in great danger!" The white-faced scholar sighed while shaking his head, "Your death and the destruction of your country are just around the corner."

Qin Rongshuai suddenly laughed, "Come here, get this thing out!"

Two guards came in from outside the door, set up the scholar on the left and right and dragged him out. The scholar was not panicked, and even laughed along with him, "I heard that the Duke of Liao is a hero in the world, but I didn't expect him to be so self-willed and unreasonable." A man of good faith."

After he finished speaking, the scholar found himself being dragged further and further away, but Qin Rongshuai had no other words to say. He suddenly panicked and shouted, "Wait a minute, Lord Duke, I have something else to say!"

"Two strong men! Two generals! I'm here to serve my lord, let me go!"

The two guards didn't want to listen to his noise, so they threw him out of the gate, threw him on the street, and closed the gate.

Unexpectedly, this man did not leave, but kept waiting outside the Duke's mansion. When Qin Rongshuai went to Qingmiao Academy to teach the next day, this scholar suddenly came out, stopped in front of the guard of honor, and shouted, "Master Guo, I have something to say. speak."

Qin Rongshuai was a little impatient, so he asked someone to drag the scholar closer, and asked with a sullen face, "What are you going to do?"

"Student Fan Wencheng uses the art of fortune-telling. The day before yesterday, he saw the purple energy rising in the Duke's mansion. It was a natural phenomenon. Yesterday, he saw the Duke's purple stars moving. He clearly has the appearance of an emperor." Fan Wencheng said respectfully. He bowed his head and said in a low voice, "The student is not talented. He learned the art of slaying dragons from a stranger in his early years. He is willing to follow the master, assist in the great cause, and aspire to the Central Plains."

Qin Rongshuai was very moved, he got off the sedan chair himself, came to Fan Wencheng, and helped him up, "I think Mr. is handsome, he must be a young talent, but I don't know one thing."

At this time, Fan Wencheng was numb all over from the crouching dragon and phoenix cub, and said excitedly, "My lord, please tell me!"

Qin Rongshuai pondered for two seconds and asked, "Can you solve quadratic equations in one yuan?"

"what?"

"Then can you memorize the periodic table of elements?"

"Ok?"

"Do you know the laws of mechanics?"

"What?"

"Then I'll change to something simpler." At this time, Qin Rongshuai's face was gloomy, "Is there always a formula for the nine-nine multiplication?"

Fan Wencheng is confused, what is all this, I didn't learn this stuff when I took the merit test?

"You don't even know how to multiply by ninety-nine, but you still want to be a crouching dragon and a phoenix!" Qin Rongshuai was furious immediately, "Come here, drag it out!"

Two big men jumped out, set up Fan Wencheng and left.

Qin Rongshuai snorted coldly, playing this trick with me, even if he doesn't even know how to multiply formulas, he still wants to be a minister of the dragon, how daring.

Since the battle of Ningyuan, there have been many such scholars in Qin Rongshuai's Liaodong. They all compare themselves to Guan Zhong and Zhuge, and want to get an official position with him.

However, most of the people who came to work here were some of the highest ranks, and many of them were charlatans. They just opened their mouths and said that I have the appearance of an emperor in Guanguo, and the grass-roots are willing to assist the lord.

These people expect to be able to make a living here, and if they bet right, they will enjoy endless glory and wealth.

Qin Rongshuai was not interested in such speculators, but he was in urgent need of some talents, so he picked and picked them by pinching his nose, keeping scholars as staff advisers, and throwing out anyone who said he had the appearance of an emperor.

However, those who came to him were really talented and learned scholars, who failed to succeed after repeated trials, and felt very angry. Going to Liao Guogong to seek a job was considered revenge on the society of the Ming Dynasty.

Qin Rongshuai felt that he couldn't beat all the scholars of the Ming Dynasty to death, because not only Confucian scholars were among them, but also some agricultural experts and engineering management talents.

As a result, some low-level officials whose career was not going well began to think that those who thought they had the skills would go to Liaodong for interviews and get a job as an official.

Qin Rongshuai simply put out a recruitment list, and anyone who is proficient in mathematics, agriculture, engineering, and medicine will come to join him, and they will all be rewarded with a hundred gold and a hundred mu of land.

The [-] mu of land is not directly distributed to people, but a piece of [-] mu of land is designated to be cultivated by a special person, and all the proceeds from the cultivation will belong to you except paying taxes.

You can choose what to plant on this land, but this land is not yours, and you cannot buy, sell or change the use of the land.

Qin Rongshuai hopes to use this state-owned land policy to solve the historical problem of land being continuously annexed.Fortunately, Liaodong is a blank space, and he can be allowed to play his own governance policy. If he is in the pass, doing so will cause chaos in the world.

However, chaos had begun in the pass at this time. A severe drought broke out in Shaanxi. The land was bare for thousands of miles, the land was cracked, and no crops were harvested.

The imperial court has not yet provided disaster relief, but began to increase Liao pay. Zhang Douyao, magistrate of Chengcheng County, Shaanxi Province, regardless of the life and death of the hungry people, still pressed for taxes.

The hungry Wang Er couldn't bear it, gathered the victims, and shouted: "Nowadays there is a severe drought and there is no food to eat. The county magistrate still wants to collect them. It's better to do the opposite!"

"Who dares to kill the magistrate with me!"

With one order, those who responded gathered.

On the same day, the county seat was breached, the magistrate was killed, and warehouses were opened to distribute grain to the victims.

Subsequently, more and more victims followed, like a snowball, and they moved to various places in Weibei to attack cities and territories.

The whole world was shaken for a while, and the commotion was even greater than that of Qin Rongshuai, the Duke of Liao.

The imperial court hastily dispatched troops to suppress it, but as a result, they were repeatedly defeated. Many officers and soldiers simply voted for Wang Er because of the imperial court's arrears of payment.

Then people in Gansu, Shanxi and other places responded with incidents, and the peasant uprising turned into a prairie fire.

At this time, Qin Rongshuai was looking at the globe and wondering whether he should go to Japan at this time, or go directly to Yizhou and go to Nanyang.
