The Three Kingdoms

"My lord, Jiangdong is unified, but the general trend is the trend. What is there to sigh?" Next to him, Jijiu Xilong, a military officer in fluttering white clothes and known for his wisdom among Cao Jun, smiled slightly and asked.

"You are right. There is nothing wrong with Sun Wentai's unification of Jiangdong, but he was able to take Yuzhang and Lujiang without bloodshed in such a short period of time, which made me a little surprised." The Jiangdong Army who was chasing and killing almost had nowhere to go, couldn't help feeling a little bit in his heart.

"My lord, do you think that Sun Jian's edict came by a bit of a coincidence?" Xun You, who had been with Cao Cao for less than three months and was about thirty years old in gray robes, asked in a low voice.

"It's not a coincidence!"

Xi Long narrowed his eyes slightly, and a gleam of light shot out from his eyes, saying: "This is a plan, from Sun Quan's rescue in Chang'an, to Sun Jian's obtaining the edict to unify Jiangdong, it is a perfect plan, one step is not bad."

"No way!" Xun Yu looked serious and couldn't believe it, and said, "If this is the case, Sun Jian really has a capable person beside him. This person has a clear understanding of Chang'an's situation, and knows that Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu must die, and he can also predict Chang'an. It will fall again, so there is no memory of Chang'an."

"The world is in chaos, and there are countless talented people in troubled times. It's not surprising." Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered the amber and blue-eyed boy who led the army to save him. The family can get the help of you and other great talents, and Sun Wentai will never be under a certain family."

"My lord, the distance between Jiangdong and us is very far, even if it is strong, it is not a concern, but Lu Bu is coming aggressively, and he intends to enter Yanzhou." Xi Long said in a low voice.

"Lu Bu?"

Cao Cao squinted his eyes, for this world's number one general, his eyes revealed a trace of fear.

[Chapter 149 Academy Admissions]

In July in Jiangdong, it rained heavily.

Jiangdong, which has fully entered the rainy season, seems to be raining again and again. It rained heavily in Wu County a few days ago, but it didn't last long, and then it will be light rain, but Lujiang, Danyang, Kuaiji, and Yuzhang have been raining violently for more than ten days.

In the General's Mansion, Zhang Zhao's face was serious, and he showed a comfortable smile with the reports from various places in his hand.

This time, due to the more violent torrential rain in Jiangdong than in previous years, there was indeed a slight flood. The water level of the Yangtze River waterway soared.

However, because of Sun Quan's previous reminders, he was on guard. In the name of the General's Mansion, he issued death orders to all places to prevent floods. In addition, since the battle of Yuzhang did not start, Jiangdong accumulated a lot of food. , but not many casualties.

When the disaster occurred, Sun Jian was still in Yuzhang, and personally came forward to pull Zhou Yu's navy out to rescue the disaster, and the disaster was brought under control in an instant. The number of casualties was only a hundred, but it was not a serious problem.

After all, in this era, the awareness of prevention is insufficient, and even minor natural disasters will cause tens of thousands of deaths. It is a blessing that the casualties can be controlled below this three-digit number this time.

And because of the disaster relief this time, Sun Jian's tall image was erected in Yuzhang at once, and he bought the hearts of many people in Yuzhang, making it easier for the General's Mansion to control Yuzhang.

……

Chuping three years, August, early.

After pacifying the Lujiang River in Yuzhang, and then controlling the small flood, Sun Jian, escorted by the overlord cavalry led by Tai Shici, quickly returned to Wu County, Wu County, to preside over the overall situation in Jiangdong.

"Zibu!"

In the General's Mansion, Sun Jian, who had just returned to Wu County, immediately began to discuss with Zhang Zhao the candidate for the prefect of Yuzhang. After all, the position of prefect of Yuzhang could not be vacant for a long time, which was not good for him to control Yuzhang.

Sun Jian looked at Zhang Zhao and asked, "What do you think about the candidate for Yuzhang county governor?"

"Master, although you have divided Yuzhang County into Yuzhang County and Luling County, Yuzhang County still has a decisive influence on the rule of the General's Mansion." Zhang Zhao pondered for a while before saying, "This candidate must be chosen carefully. , in the current situation, it is really difficult to choose people in the general's mansion."

"How about Wei Teng?" Sun Jian asked with his eyes fixed.

"Wei Teng? Wei Teng of the Wei family, although he is in his prime, an old fox, he is indeed talented, he is a good candidate, but what is the attitude of the Wei family towards the lord?" Zhang Zhao's expression on Yuzhang's first family Some fear in the middle, asked.

"The Wei family has already contacted someone. Wei Teng has shown his attitude by contributing food and energy during the flood in the Poyang Lake Plain. Even if he does not surrender, he will not oppose the General's Mansion. To use it, after all, if we want to control Yuzhang, the Wei family makes us unable to avoid it."

Sun Jian said flatly.

The influence of the family can touch every corner of the ruler, and it is not difficult to conquer, but if you want to control it, you must rely on the local family and powerful.

"However, if we use him, there is no guarantee that Yuzhang will not become the territory of the Wei family. On the surface, the General's Mansion is in charge, but in fact it is out of the control of the General's Mansion. After all, the influence of the Wei Family in Yuzhang is not Hua Xin's. If you can compare, you have to guard against it." Zhang Zhao said with some worry.

"This is also a worry in a certain heart." Sun Jian said with a sigh: "I want to use it, but I dare not use it."

"My lord, how about this!"

Zhang Zhao's eyes moved, and he had an idea in his mind. He said, "Transfer the prefect of Kuaiji, Cheng, to Yuzhang, and then let Wei Teng be appointed as the prefect of Kuaiji. In Kuaiji, Wei Teng can't make waves."

"Huaiji? What about the Yu family?" Sun Jian asked, his eyes lit up when he heard the words.

"Yu Fan has been cold for a long time. It's time to reuse him. Let him enter the general. A certain family has a relatively heavy workload recently. How about letting him help a certain family?" There was a sly light in Zhang Zhao's eyes. .

"Zibu! You're cunning enough. You just want them to fight among themselves." Sun Jian immediately understood that Kuaiji was the domain of the Yu family. This will inevitably affect the interests of the Yu family, and the two great families will inevitably collide.

"My lord, please speak up. You can say that XX is extremely witty and resourceful, but XX is advising you. Look, XX's hair is growing gray when he thinks about this these days." Zhang Zhao grinned. , a solemn and correct way.

"Hahaha, scholars just have a lot of eyes, yes, I will give you a reward for your merits." Sun Jian was in a good mood and laughed.

..............................

Jiangdong in August is even more lively. The most important thing is the "Jiangdong Academy" established in the name of the General's Mansion, which recruits students from the entire Jiangdong with an open enrollment method.

This time, Sun Quan has put in a lot of effort. With Cai Yong's reputation and the teaching books provided by movable type printing, he never refuses anyone who comes. Every county under the command of the six counties has spread the reputation of Jiangdong Academy.

And the most important thing is that this statement proposes that the General's Mansion upholds the idea that all people in Jiangdong are equal, no matter whether they are poor or noble, everyone can enroll in Jiangdong Academy. The great scholar Cai Yong also personally issued a declaration that there is no discrimination in education.

More importantly, the notice of Jiangdong Academy directly stated that any student enrolled in Jiangdong Academy will not charge any tuition fees except for food expenses, and the books of the academy will also be obtained for free.

The reason why the food fee was charged was not that Sun Quan valued this little money. It was a limit. People who couldn't even eat enough to eat would not come to school.

The reputation of Jiangdong Academy spread throughout Jiangdong in an instant, and many scholars from all over the place began to be moved, especially Cai Yong's name made them feel even more anxious, and rushed to Wu County one after another.

........................

In Wu County, when the several noble families in the city received the news, they felt that this was a means by the General's Mansion against the family. These noble families suddenly panicked, and immediately sat together to discuss countermeasures.

"Regardless of poor families, is Marquis Wu targeting us?" In a wide hall, the patriarch of a family asked in a low voice: "What does he want to do?"

"Marquis Wu has long been dissatisfied with the gentry in Jiangdong. Now that he has unified Jiangdong, he has no fear of us, so he will naturally attack us." Someone said coldly.

"In this way, there will inevitably be a large number of students in Jiangdong Academy. I really don't understand why so many scholars come from them to copy textbooks for them?" Someone asked doubtfully.

They don't know Sun Quan's movable type printing technique. In this era, copying a book can only be copied by hand. An academy is definitely not teaching a book. When there are more students, there will be not enough books. This is why education is so backward in this era. The reason, if you don’t even have books, what else can you teach.

"No books, Jiangdong Academy? I want to see how Marquis Wu can survive." The head of the family gloated.

"How about we launch an offensive and make Jiangdong Academy notorious, which can be regarded as a wake-up call for Marquis Wu."

One person's voice was indifferent, but very firm. The gentry had their strengths, and scholars were their field. It was not enough to bring down the General's Mansion. If they wanted to destroy the reputation of Jiangdong Academy, they were absolutely sure.

"No, the head of a certain family has ordered that Jiangdong Academy has Cai Zhonglang as a sacrificial wine. If we confront him head-on, I'm afraid this great Confucian will be angered, and it will be of no benefit to us." The representative of the Gu family said in a low voice.

"The Patriarch of a certain family has the same idea, and he should not confront Cai Zhonglang head-on, but he gave a certain sentence and asked him to pass it on to everyone."

The representative of the Lu family moved his eyes slightly, looked at the crowd, and said loudly: "This is a battlefield drawn by Marquis Wu, which represents the majesty of Marquis Wu. We can't jump out of this battlefield, but we can follow the rules of this battlefield." Among them, tell Marquis Wu the ability of the Jiangdong family."

"The meaning of the Lu family is that we will also send scholars into Jiangdong Academy, and in the academy, we will suppress those sons from poor families and take the top spot!" Everyone suddenly understood, and someone said loudly.
