The original Gan Ning boat was not walking. There was no wind or sail at this time. The sails made of Shu brocade were rolled on the boat. There was no spectacular scene that shone brightly in the sun. However, the more than 30 boats were still very terrifying. When sailing, the effort was to save on the boat. This kind of line-up was not pleasing. It was just to show off its majesty. It was like a newly-adult rooster. He had to walk with his head raised and his wings on his wings. When he saw a dog on the side of the road, he would rush over and peck at him to show his fearlessness.

Liu Xiu did not follow him too closely. They were the first-class martial arts in the land, but they were obviously not very good when they were on the water. They had no chance of winning against so many rogue boys. Just like Li Kui could beat Zhang Shun to a bruised nose and swollen eyes on the shore, but they were drowned in the water. He would not choose to fight Gan Ning at this time.

He can pretend to be a god, but he dare not think that he is really a god.

They were draped far away, and that night, they also lived on the boat. Although the father and the other two who were in charge of the boat did not know what their identities were, they knew that the Dangqu Pu family, the one who could be served by the young master of the Park family was naturally not an ordinary person. Moreover, the boat was given a lot of money, so they were willing to serve them respectfully. The bacon, rice and noodles on the boat, and the river fish caught in the river were stewed in a pot. After the soup was boiled as white as milk, it was full of fresh fragrance, which was much more delicious than the river in a hotel in later generations. Liu Xiu ate beef and mutton on the grassland for a year, and there were fish in the North Sea, but such delicious river fish could not be eaten and could not help but eat it.

While eating, Liu Xiu asked Park Hu and Chuan's father about the situation in Yizhou. He knew that the gap between the rich and the poor in the Bashu area was also serious. There were tens of millions of family funds and millions of family funds, which were not uncommon, but ordinary people lived a hard life. For example, Banhuan rebelled several times because the Han officials bullied them and did not abide by the tax system that had been inherited since the time of King Zhao of Qin. When they entered the city to sell some mountain goods, they often made things difficult for them. Once they had conflicts with the Han people, the officials often favored the Han people without asking any questions. Banhuan was barbaric by nature. When they encountered these things, they were easily furious, and often a small thing would become bigger and bigger.

If it were before, Liu Xiu would definitely not believe such a thing. Because in his memory, the Han government always favored ethnic minorities and suppressed the Han people. The famous family planning in later generations was only targeting Han people, and ethnic minorities never implemented this policy. Not only that, almost all policies were tilted towards ethnic minorities. Han people went out to travel with kitchen knives as souvenirs, and they were confiscated when they boarded the train. This was a control tool, but Tibetans also carried sharp Tibetan knives in the mainland, but no policeman came out to take care of their customs and habits. When Liu Xiu went to college, Tibetans had acted arrogantly in school, which annoyed Han students and rushed up. They beat the dozen Tibetans to their noses and eyes, but were later punished by the school. As a result, many major incidents of protesting against Han schools.

But now Park Hu said this, Liu Xiuxin is very simple. Before that, the Han people bullied the Huns and Xianbei people in Liangzhou. Han people bullied the Qiang people. In Liangzhou, Han people bullied the Qiang people. The officials were the same as Park Hu said. They favored the Han people without asking any questions. Maybe it was because these officials had read two days of books and believed in the distinction between Chinese and foreigners. They did not regard these Qiang and Hu as serious people in their hearts. In fact, they could also hear from the titles that they were either barbarians or Yis, or Qiang or Hu. The ethnic discrimination was very obvious. Moreover, the martial spirit of the Han people in this era was very strong. Even a scholar had a knife and a sword. A few decades ago, when they met the emperor, the ministers still carried weapons, and the emperor did not think it was offended.

Liu Xiu hoped that the Han people could pass on this spirit, not be bullied by foreign races, and no longer be transformed into a backbone by the transformed Confucian culture. However, at this moment, he also had a headache about this seemingly excessive ethnic discrimination. In his opinion, since they cannot be completely eliminated, they can only assimilate them, and they will be active assimilation rather than passive assimilation. They cannot be beautified by the nation into integration. Exclusion is not a long-term solution after all.

In addition to the many barbarians in Yizhou, ordinary people live a good life. Although they are far from those powerful people, the Chengdu plain is rich. As long as the government does not bully too hard, there is basically no problem with eating. Generally speaking, rebellion is mainly based on the rebellion of barbarians. Rarely, Han people are forced to the dead end.

Yizhou has a complex geographical situation. The rich areas are the three Shus, which are the so-called Shu County, Guanghan and Jianwei. These three counties were originally Shu County. The Guanghan County was divided into Guanghan in the early Western Han Dynasty, and Jianwei was divided into Jianwei during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. Chengdu is located in Shu County, but it is not far from Guanghan and Jianwei. Within the 300-mile radiation range centered on Chengdu, it is a prosperous place in the entire Yizhou, which is the place where the wealth of the original Shu County is concentrated. There is a saying in the Han Dynasty that "Guandong comes from prime minister, Guanxi comes from generals", and Yizhou also has

As the saying goes, "Ba is a general, Shu is a prime minister." The people of Ba County are fierce and famous, such as the Feng family in Dangqu, the Huang family in Langzhong, and the Yan family in Langzhong, all of which have produced many generals. As for the Gan family in Ganning, which Liu Xiu now likes, they are still not named. Shu County has great scholars, and Sima Xiangru, Yang Xiong, Yan Zun, and Li Hong in the Western Han Dynasty are all famous scholars with profound knowledge. Although Shu County does not have a wealthy family like the Yuan family and the Yang family, three dukes and nine ministers are also emerging one after another, and there are people in the past.

Liu Xiu had known that Yizhou was rich, but he didn't know that there were so many people. Park Hu was just a rude barbarian. He could know so much. The actual situation should be said to be gratifying. Dong Fu said that there was weather in Yizhou, which may be because of this.

The current cultural center of the Han Dynasty is of course in Luoyang and Guandong. Because Confucianism is the most respected, the Qilu area, the birthplace of Confucianism, does have innate advantages in this regard. In addition to the heart of the Central Plains, Youzhou, Liangzhou and Bingzhou have also produced many well-educated people, but their overall strength is obviously not as good as the Central Plains, and even Bashu in the southwest and Wujun and Kuaiji in the southeast. Of course, the war is of Youbing Liang, but when it comes to being scheming, it is still a sinister scholar, let alone Bashu, Wujun, or Kuaiji, the economic strength is not comparable to that of Youbing Liang in the north.

There are 1.5 million people in Shu County, which is enough to match the total of Liangzhou and Bingzhou. There are 1.6 million people in Yuzhang County, and the total population of the six counties in Jiangdong is 4 million. They also have a wealthy household registration. Therefore, Liu Bei later took Yizhou and Sun Quan took Yangzhou to establish a squad with Cao Cao. It is not unreasonable. Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, Lu Bu of Bingzhou, and Dong Zhuo of Liangzhou later became cannon fodder. It is not that they can't fight, but they have no money and food. They can be the leader occasionally, but it is impossible to conquer a country without strong strength.

Yan Zhongliangzhou put Yizhou first, but in fact, Zhuge Liang's Longzhong put Yizhou first was the same as Zhuge Liang's historical considerations. Isn't it just a matter of money after fighting?

While listening to Park Hu's words, Liu Xiu thought about Yan Zhong's Liangzhou match, and thought to himself that these high-level officials should have been moving now, right? I wonder if Liu Yan's attention has been attracted to Hanzhong. It is time for him to accelerate here. The opportunity must not be missed, and the time will never come again. Yizhou is his ideal base, and it cannot be destroyed. It is best to fight and decide quickly, kill him before Liu Yan reacts.

After spending a night on the boat, the next day, I sailed for another day and arrived in Langzhong in the evening. Gan Ning was really very stylish, and there was no sense of guilt at all. He got on the shore in a big way, set up a formation and went to Langzhong City. He did not enter the city, but lived in the post pavilion outside the city. He brought more than 300 people, and he occupied the entire post pavilion. Even some of the guests who had moved in first were driven out, not to mention Liu Xiu and other later ones.

Liu Xiu lived on the boat and sent Park Hu to inquire about the situation. After dinner with Guo Jia, he fished on the boat. In fact, fishing was fake and chatting was real. In some cases, he could only tell Guo Jia that others should not hear it. Tonight, he talked to Guo Jia about Yan Zhong’s Liangzhou. After hearing this, Guo Jia was silent for a while, then sighed and said with a sigh: "I didn't expect that Liangzhou was so big. Such a big but was so big that he was just Xindu Ling. How can the world be peaceful?"

"So, the system of students and former officials and the system of using classics to select scholars is necessary." Liu Xiu smiled faintly: "However, have you ever thought about the big problem? This is not the case."

Guo Jia turned his head and looked at him in confusion.

"The big problem is that the road to becoming an official is too narrow. To lead the wisdom of so many smart people to the road to becoming an official is not only a waste, but also a soil for breeding this kind of family."

Guo Jia was silent for a moment and realized something: "So the general should lead the interest of scholars to be a craft and a businessman?"

"For the work and business are just a start. I want to lead them to the exploration of the way of heaven, the real, and the humanity." Liu Xiu raised his head and looked at the bright starry sky. His voice suddenly became a little lonely: "Yu Xiao, do you know that people are a great wealth. A craftsman improves a loom, which can make a loom play the role of ten skilled weaver girls. How much energy will that person who is ten times smarter than a craftsman? Officials need to have, but there is a certainty, if most of them, they will become redundant officials. Not only will they not create wealth, but they will also consume too much wealth. Being an official is too poor and willing to do it.

If there are too few officials, there will be no competition, which will make the government a concentrated place for incompetent people. However, if it is too attractive to be an official, dozens or hundreds of people compete for a position, it is definitely not a happy thing. Increase salary is to increase, but relying on salary increase to maintain integrity is tantamount to seeking fish for a tree. To maintain integrity, only by ensuring that they can live with dignity after performing their functions, they must also ensure that they will be ruined and lose fame and fortune once they pass the thunder pool, and even have to pay the price of their lives and dare not be greedy for action. Otherwise, only the saints can do the officials in the world."

Guo Jia chewed Liu Xiu's words. After Bingzhou asked about politics, the issue of increasing salary and maintaining integrity was being discussed. Bingzhou was discussing, and Guanzhong was also discussing that Bingzhou was about to sign a five-year contract. Everyone hoped to adjust the official salary before this, but Liu Xiu refused to give in, but there was no explanation. This was the first time Guo Jia heard Liu Xiu's explanation.

He understood what Liu Xiu meant and felt the trust Liu Xiu had in him.

Tiger Shi, who followed Park Hu to inquire about Gan Ning's situation, walked over and said a few words in Liu Xiu's ear. Liu Xiu laughed, threw down the fishing rod, stood up, shook his arms, and said aloud: "Fengxiao, let's go and meet this Jinfan thief."

Guo Jia smiled and said, "I dare not obey my orders." It will be continued
