Out of the total enrollment of more than 1,500 people, only more than 200 are qualified to enter the elite class.
Only more than 200 people have received a certain degree of education in Confucian classics and have a foundation in Confucian classics. They are not pure reading and writing players.
The remaining 1,300 or so people are all reading and writing athletes and have no foundation in scriptures.
But it doesn't matter, the more people like this, the happier Liu Bei will be.
Without the foundation of scriptures, the world of thought would be as barren as a desert, or a blank piece of paper, waiting for the famous "painter" Liu Xuande to splash ink on it and create a unique painting.
In addition to the pretentious subjects related to "Zuo's Spring and Autumn", Liu Bei prepared many subjects such as politics, mathematics, agriculture, astronomy, physics, etc. for the students in the ordinary class. He planned to teach them Zuo's Spring and Autumn while also teaching them Cultivate practical talents.
The enrollment of many students also urgently required Liu Bei to improve the existing paper and papermaking technology, reduce costs, and increase output to facilitate the learning requirements of many students.
Although bamboo slips are currently the cheapest writing instruments, they are still not suitable for large-scale promotion due to weight and transportation reasons.
It would take more than a hundred years for paper to replace bamboo slips, silk cloth, etc. as the main writing tools for Chinese literati, and it would not be until the Song Dynasty that paper could be mass-produced on a large scale.
The best paper in this era is in Qingzhou. The quality of the paper is already very good. It is much better than the paper modified by Cai Lun back then. However, the process is cumbersome and the cost is high, so that it has become a luxury product in the hands of literati, and even worse. Bamboo slips are cheap.
So Liu Bei had the idea of improving papermaking technology and producing cheaper and easier-to-use paper.
For him, this is not a difficult thing, because the best raw materials are actually around him.
Bamboo slips are very fast to use, and the wear and tear is relatively large. Because the writing capacity is limited, if you accidentally write the wrong word or engrave the wrong word, it may cause damage. Some people who are extravagant don't like to cut off the wrong word and continue. After writing, I gradually discarded it.
Due to the high demand for bamboo slips in Liangzhou Prefecture and many counties, only Liu Bei knew that there were several warehouses where discarded bamboo slips were stored. There were a large number of discarded bamboo slips in them, which became Liu Bei's raw materials for papermaking.
Using bamboo to make paper is equivalent to recycling waste, which is a commendable good practice in modern times.
However, even if this technology is developed, there will be no bamboo available in Liangzhou itself.
The bamboo production areas are all in the south, such as Sichuan and Zhejiang. The bamboos there are not bamboo forests, but bamboo seas, one by one, with no end in sight.
Zhejiang is too far away, but Sichuan is right in front of us. It is just across the Qinling Mountains, so there are some transportation inconveniences.
However, from this perspective, the Qin people still felt that it was not enough to control the Guanzhong land. It was only after they defeated the ancient Shu state and took control of the Shu land that they gained the strength to dominate the world.
Therefore, Liu Bei felt that he only controlled the land of Sanfu and Sanhe, which may not be enough. While controlling Luoyang to become the world's power, I am afraid that he could not just use the land of Sanfu and Sanhe as his basic base. Shuzhong would also be involved. , becoming one of the basic disks.
In this way, the two kingdoms of abundance, one in front and one in back, are under his control, and this grand plan can be regarded as a real success.
So Liu Bei called Liu Hui and asked Liu Hui to arrange for a group of people to conduct a detailed investigation of the road from Guanzhong into Shuzhong and its conditions, and draw a map to give him the most detailed guidance.
Liu Bei has already started making plans for repairing the Shu Road and opening up the connection between Shu and Guanzhong in the future.
He didn't believe that he couldn't do what the people of Qin could do back then.
After the state school passed the graded examination, elite classes and ordinary classes were separated for education.
Liu Bei did not favor one or the other, and personally educated both groups. It happened that government affairs were not very busy now, so Liu Bei took time every day to meet with the students in the state school, chat, teach, and answer questions.
Although he couldn't cover everything, and he couldn't educate so many students himself, Liu Bei still put a lot of thought into the selection of lecturers.
Of course, his favorite thing is giving speeches.
This is the fastest, most convenient and most direct way to affect the most people, and it is also what he is best at.
Back in Luoyang, he relied on this skill to gain a large number of fans.
Liu Bei liked to deliver speeches on Liangzhou's current situation and solutions in the open space of Zhouxue, and he unconsciously used his speech skills.
"Liangzhou people are not inferior to others, nor are people from outside the state superior to others. We are all human beings. A normal, healthy person who can stand and walk. Why should Liangzhou people be looked down upon?"
"It's just the same as before, what a bitter cold land, what a barren mountains and rivers, what a mess, what a hopelessness!"
"Is this the real Liangzhou? No! This is not the real Liangzhou! This is the Liangzhou they imagined! The real Liangzhou is the hot land under our feet!"
"They can look down on us because they are arrogant and rude, but we can't look down on ourselves! They say that our Liangzhou is a bitter cold land with poor mountains and rivers, so we must rely on our own hands and work hard to make Liangzhou a better place. The state has become a wealthy place! Green mountains and green waters!”
"They say Liangzhou is in hopeless chaos, so we must use our own hands to fight hard to make Liangzhou prosperous and prosperous!"
"Liangzhou can support Liangzhou people, and Liangzhou can support more Liangzhou people. We must face ourselves. We are no worse than anyone else!"
"We must dare to stand upright in front of them and tell them that we are upright Han people! This is the blood and inheritance left to us by our ancestors. How can those barking people easily deny it?"
"Work hard! Keep striving for self-improvement! One day, we will use our own hands to create a new Liangzhou that will shock the entire Han Dynasty!"
Liu Bei's speeches can always arouse people's emotions, making those who listen to his speech cheer, become enthusiastic, and even cry.
He can always get to the point, deliver speeches to the point, and put forward his own solutions, and then unconsciously mobilize people's emotions and instill his own thoughts in people.
Over time, even some eight or nine-year-old children were affected and began to imitate Liu Bei's accent, let alone teenagers and young people in their teens and twenties.
Liu Bei then took the opportunity to add concepts such as the concept of family and country beyond the idea of the county as the country into his speeches. Through impromptu speeches one after another, he influenced more people, and some of his thoughts gradually became popular among the state schools. spread and became a standard.
The idea of using counties as the country was one of the late Han ideas that Liu Bei hated most, no less than the hidden political rules of dual monarchs.
This narrow ideological concept limited by the level of transportation and productivity seriously hindered national identity, brought about political and economic fragmentation at the national level, and was one of the main culprits that caused the separation and war at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, in his speeches, Liu Bei always violently criticized the idea of using counties as the country, believing that this idea was absolutely wrong.
There is only one Han State in the world, and the others are all counties and counties under the state, and they definitely have no independent qualifications.
A county is an administrative division under the rule of the country. It is an official appointed by the imperial court. Its power comes from the imperial court. It is not the local monarch or the master of the county people, and there should be no such term as "prefectural monarch".
This strong ideological tendency revealed by Liu Bei aroused great repercussions in the state school.
He is the only genuine teacher, he is the only mentor recognized by everyone. Whatever he says is what he says. With his presence at the level of prophet in Liangzhou, no one will question him.
Subsequently, the impact of this speech on the thinking and cognition of Liangzhou people gradually began to show its effect.
The most direct impact was that after Gai Xun, the prefect of Hanyang County, heard the news, he quickly ordered his subordinates in the county to no longer call themselves "prefect", but to call themselves "prefect" or "prefect".
Liu Bei's influence on Liangzhou was so direct and straightforward.
So Liangzhou and the people of Liangzhou under Liu Bei's rule began to rage.
Racing towards a new and unimagined future.
At the same time, Yuan Shao, who was in Hedong County, was still struggling to engage in round after round of small-scale contact operations with the White Wave Yellow Turban Army, and was miserable.
