The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 428 Listening to the Voice of the People, Dahan Weekly

The lights in the Qilin Hall have been lit, and everyone hasn't had much wine, but they already have a preliminary plan for the future direction of the big man.

"How are the preparations for the establishment of the Army Lecture Hall?" Liu Bian asked Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng clasped his hands and said: "The preparations for the army lecture halls in each county have been completed, and the first batch of students will be recruited in the next year."

The army lecture hall was proposed by Liu Bian at the beginning of the year, and there were too many officers recommended by various troops to enter the military and political cadets.The military and political colleges are difficult to accommodate, and only two higher military colleges have been opened, but many of the officers' foundations are too poor.

Some people don't even know how to read, and they can't keep up with the courses in the military academy, so they can only be organized into a group and start learning from literacy.

Because of this, a large number of officers of the frontier army were dragged into the academy, resulting in heavy casualties among the soldiers in the battle to suppress the indigenous rebellion in the Sinai Peninsula.

Liu Bian arranged for Liu Ji to carry out comprehensive literacy in the army, and then let the recommended officers enter the army lecture hall for further study.If he is indeed a talented officer, he will be recommended by the Jiangwu Hall to go to the Higher Military Academy for further study.After graduation, after outstanding performance in the army, you can enter the Military and Political Academy for further study.

Liu Bian also wanted to reform military ranks, but now that the war is pressing, it cannot be carried out yet.According to Liu Bian's plan, the Han army will use the battalion as a fighting group in the future.

Each battalion consists of three companies, one artillery platoon and one logistics platoon.Each company has four platoons, and the platoons have five squads, and each squad is composed of five combat teams.In this way, there are 500 people in each battalion, which is very reasonable in terms of combat effectiveness and command convenience.

Now that the Xuzhou rebels have not been calmed down, it is not the time to deepen reforms, so we can only give up temporarily.

"Your Majesty, in the past three months, the cumulative number of printed copies of the 'Dahan Weekly' has exceeded one million. Can some new newspapers be launched in the coming year to supplement the shortfall of the 'Dahan Weekly'?" Wang Lang got up and said.

"Okay, you can discuss this with Wei Zheng." Liu Bian said with a smile.

"I have a suggestion, you can find some people to write the stories of the storybooks. Serialize them separately in the newspapers to strengthen the people's stickiness to the newspapers. You can also publish some practical technologies in the newspapers, such as planting crops, animal husbandry, first aid small Skills and so on. Don’t underestimate the newspaper, which is the bridge between the Han court and the people. The Overwatch Council can publish information in the newspaper to encourage the people to report corrupt officials who broke the law. This can reduce the workload of the Overwatch Council. Supervised by the whole people, I don't believe that there are officials who dare to take money and break the law." Liu Bian took a sip of wine and continued: "The technology of planting crops and animal husbandry can increase the income of the people. You should study it yourself."

Hearing Liu Bian's words, Wang Lang's eyes lit up.Just do what Liu Bian said, he doesn't believe that the newspaper can't run well.The entertainment life of the common people is still very little. The advent of the "Dahan Weekly" allows them to understand the policies of the imperial court after dinner, which makes them very fond of newspapers, which directly causes overcrowding in literacy classes everywhere. After all, newspapers are free. Yes, asking someone to read the newspaper is not as convenient as reading the newspaper yourself.

"My respect for His Majesty is like a torrential river!" Wang Lang knelt on the ground and said.

He was really convinced, and he and the people from the newspaper office thought about it for several days but couldn't come up with any good solution.As soon as Liu Bian spoke, it gave the newspaper a direction for its future development.

"Okay, get up." Liu Bian felt a little shy when he heard his words. After all, he plagiarized the methods of later generations. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he plagiarized too much today, so he felt a little embarrassed at this time.

"Song Ran, order someone to serve hot dishes, and the meal is ready." Liu Bian said to Song Ran.

A banquet lasted for most of the day, and it was already late at night when it ended.Zhang Juzheng and Wang Anshi helped the drunk Liu Ji walk along the palace road to the Meridian Gate, where their cars were parked.

"Master Wang, I'm on vacation tomorrow. Would you like to have a few drinks at the old man's house?" Zhang Juzheng said to Wang Anshi.

"Drink? Drink. Keep drinking," Liu Ji muttered.

"Master Liu has nothing wrong with him other than his poor quality of wine." Wang Anshi pulled Liu Ji who was struggling and said, "Okay, at noon tomorrow, I will go to Mr. Zhang's mansion to bother you."

Watching Baiguan leave, Liu Bian said to Song Ran: "Send the word, Baiguan and I get drunk and rest in the Qilin Hall. No one can disturb us tonight."

"Your Majesty, the Empress has already sent someone to pass on the message. Your Majesty has been busy all day today, and the ladies also drank at the Empress's place all day. No one will disturb Your Majesty." Song Ran said with a smile.

"Ah? Hehe, the queen understands what I'm thinking." Liu Bian said meanly.

Yesterday he was looking at the newly drawn map in the Qilin Hall, he was fascinated by it, and wanted to rest in the Qilin Hall.After being followed by Zhao Feiyan and Sun Shangxiang, I woke up with a sore back today.

When I haven't been free recently, it may not be a good thing to have more wives.

You don't understand my troubles!

That night, Liu Bian slept soundly due to the strength of the wine. In the middle of the night, he dreamed that he was kissed by a fairy.When he woke up in the morning, there was actually a woman lying on the bed, Bao Si sleeping heavily on his arm.

"Queen, you really gave me a big surprise." Liu Bian said while pinching Bao Si's face.

Bao Si fell into a deep sleep, waved Liu Bian's hand away, turned over and fell asleep again.

Liu Bian didn't bother her anymore, and asked the maid to take care of Baosi, and went to trouble Song Ran.

And Liu Hao, who was far away in Suiyang, didn't sleep well all night. The rebel spies in the city attacked the arsenal where the 'Royal Missiles' were stored. Fortunately, they were discovered in time.

After a night of searching, the spies were all arrested.Wearing a fur coat and bringing his own guards, Liu Hao hurriedly went to interrogate himself.

He is very worried that the 'Royal Missile' has been known to the rebels, so that there is no advantage of surprise.

The dungeon in Suiyang City is a product of the previous dynasty, and there is a large space inside. The spies were separated and detained to prevent them from colluding with each other.Some of them are timid and have already confessed a lot of problems.From time to time, newly captured spies were thrown into prison.

"Your Highness, according to their account, they chose the target after they found out that our defense against the No. [-] Arsenal is extremely strict." Tao Peng, who was in charge of the interrogation, said.

"Oh? That's good, have you compared their statements?" Liu Hao asked.

Tao Peng raised his hand and said, "After comparison, there are fifteen confessions in total."

Hearing his words, Liu Hao nodded and said, "Continue to interrogate, and after investigation, all of them will be executed."

"Yes! The last general takes orders!" Tao Peng said respectfully.

Liu Hao had no interest in interrogation. Seeing those strange instruments of torture, he said to Yu Zhao, the commander of the imperial guards beside him, "Look at Tao Peng's methods, which are somewhat similar to those of Song Ran."

"It's not as good as Mr. Song. If it falls into Mr. Song's hands, it's like entering the Palace of the King of Hades." Yu Zhao said with lingering fear.

Hearing his words, Liu Hao became interested, and said to Zhao, "Have you seen it?"

"I've seen it before. The tongues caught by His Majesty in the Goguryeo campaign were all interrogated by Master Song. The method of interrogation by Master Song is not right, it should be skill. The last general has never seen anyone who can resist a cup of tea. At that time There was a powerful general in the Goguryeo army, who was tossed by Master Song and kowtowed and begged for mercy." Yu Zhao said while trembling.

"Haha, fortunately, it's our own." Liu Hao said with a smile.

"That is, the Goguryeo people said back then that suicide is far better than falling into Song Ran's hands." Yu Zhao also said with a smile.
