Zhang Rang had nothing to say about this matter.
He immediately asked people to arrange these things, and then began to consider candidates for the governor of Yizhou.
After choosing and choosing, Zhang Rang found that he had no reliable candidates.
Meng Tuo is a figure, but Meng Tuo needs to stay in Guanzhong as the chief planner and person in charge of the salt trade, and he cannot escape.
Therefore, after much thought, Zhang Rang arranged for his confidant Liang Hu to serve as the governor of Yizhou to clear the way for Liu Bei to sell salt into Sichuan and Shu.
Liang Hu is a reasonably rational person, not very greedy, and can take the overall situation into consideration in everything, so it would be good to arrange for him to help Liu Bei stabilize the situation in Yizhou.
On the other side, when Mr. Dong Fu heard that the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in Yizhou and Xi Jian died, he became excited. He immediately inquired from many sources whether the imperial court had any idea of arranging Yizhou shepherds. result.
When there was more news, the imperial court announced that Liang Hu, the Minister of Selected Affairs, would be appointed as the governor of Yizhou. This was followed by the imperial court's decision to use Liangzhou Mu and Chariot General Liu Bei to supervise the troops of Liang and Yizhou. Attack the Yellow Turban Army in Yizhou.
The two pieces of news were tied together, completely disrupting Mr. Dong Fu's plans.
As a person from Sichuan and Shu, although he has a high prestige, he has no say in this matter. He tried to go to General He Jin to discuss whether there was still room for negotiation on this matter, but He Jin was very sorry. means no.
"The emperor does not intend to continue to appoint the Yizhou Shepherd. Liu Bei, the Liangzhou Shepherd, is very capable and has the emperor's trust. The emperor plans to use Liu Bei to pacify the Yizhou Yellow Turban bandits. Other than that, he has no other ideas. As for Yizhou The governor, Liang Hu, belongs to the eunuchs."
Dong Fu was greatly worried when he heard this.
"Before, Xi Jian was a eunuch. He levied violent taxes in Yizhou and caused trouble in the countryside. How many lives were lost? Now that he is a eunuch, wouldn't it mean that Yizhou will be even more aggressive? How can Yizhou be stable?"
He Jin sighed.
"These things are decided by the emperor, and they are not something we can change. I understand Dong Gong's worries, but the emperor has made up his mind. No matter how hard we try, it will be difficult to achieve results."
Dong Fu knew that He Jin was powerless to do anything about these things, so he could only sigh, then stood up and asked He Jin to resign.
He Jin recommended him to the court. In a sense, He Jin was his candidate. Now that He Jin was so powerless, Dong Fu was deeply disappointed, so he decided to resign.
"I can't correct the gains and losses of Luoyang in my hometown, and I can't protect my hometown elders in Luoyang. I feel deeply incompetent, so I can only choose to die in my hometown, and I ask the general to agree."
He Jin was surprised and ashamed, but there was really no way to meet Dong Fu's expectations, so he could only sigh and couldn't say anything to save him.
Dong Fu's resignation greatly stimulated He Jin, making him feel that he, a general, lacked the confidence to do what he did.
In the past, great generals were powerful enough to dethrone emperors, dominate government affairs, become true rulers, and dominate the world.
But now, as a general, he can only submit to the eunuch and obey the eunuch's orders...
If he hadn't thought this way before, but now, as the general's term of office increased, He Jin's dissatisfaction with the eunuchs became more and more intense.
Why do I, a tall and dignified man, have to be restricted and suppressed by such a group of people?
Although I am a general, I cannot have the power that a general should have. Instead, I have to be controlled by others and obey their orders.
Whose problem is this?
But no matter how dissatisfied He Jin was, there was nothing he could do, because the person who could control his destiny was Liu Hong, and Liu Hong was obviously more willing to trust the eunuchs, so he would be suppressed by those eunuchs.
Not to mention Liu Hong, even his sister, the queen, was very kind and trusting in the eunuch. What could his cheap brother do?
He really wanted to fight for his prestige in front of his subordinates, stand up once and prove his power and status.
Unfortunately, at present, he cannot do it.
If possible, he really wanted to rise up once to prove that he was a trustworthy person and let more people invest in his general's palace to serve him.
But how exactly do you do this?
He Jin was dissatisfied and worried about his future and situation. At the same time, Yuan Wei was also dissatisfied and worried about his future and situation.
The promotion of "Guwen Shangshu" to replace "Ouyang Shangshu" did not succeed. This incident was a big blow to Yuan Kai. Although he was very efficient in getting started, people around him did not choose to leave him because of this failure. But he was still unhappy.
The only benefit from this failure was that it promoted the distrust of Lu Zhi among most of the families of the Ancient Literature School around him, making Lu Zhi completely excluded by the mainstream of the Ancient Literature School. Lu Zhi and the group of people around him were completely Became a minority in the ancient literature school.
This means that Yuan Wei can even dominate the actions of the Ancient Literature School in a sense.
Coupled with the Yuan family's former officials and the military positions of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the Yuan family's power has grown unprecedentedly in Luoyang City.
It is precisely because of this that Yuan Wei was dissatisfied with previous failures.
He should continue to succeed rather than face failure. He hates failure and hates the feeling that things are beyond his control.
He felt very unhappy that he could not further consolidate the position he had just won as the actual leader of the Ancient Literature School.
Therefore, after hearing the news of Dong Fu's resignation, Yuan Wei, who knew some inside information, felt that the time might have come to leverage the eunuch's base.
Yuan Wei called Yuan Shao for this purpose, gave Yuan Shao some instructions, and planned to start preparing for a good show to win over He Jin and push He Jin to rebel against the eunuchs.
As long as He Jin could leverage He Jin's dissatisfaction with the eunuchs, he could destroy the eunuchs' base.
When a series of orders to put down the Yizhou rebellion were conveyed to Liangzhou, it was already May of the fifth year of Zhongping.
At that time, in addition to promoting the great development of Liangzhou step by step, Liu Bei spent the rest of his main energy on the construction of state schools.
During this period, Liu Bei's team completed the production of bamboo paper relatively easily, using all the discarded bamboo slips that had accumulated for many years to create large quantities of bamboo paper.
Due to the lack of bamboo in Liangzhou, Liu Bei can currently only use discarded bamboo slips as raw materials to make bamboo paper. Fortunately, there are a large number of discarded bamboo slips in government offices across Liangzhou, and there is no shortage of raw materials for making bamboo paper for a while.
As far as the content of government governance is concerned, things that could be accomplished with the writing capacity of bamboo slips in the past can be completely covered by using paper with a writing capacity that greatly exceeds that of bamboo slips.
However, after Liu Bei became the shepherd of Liangzhou, his high demands for many government affairs greatly increased the amount of government affairs at all levels of Liangzhou. There was indeed a time when there were not enough bamboo slips.
For example, on the issue of policies to encourage childbirth, in order to register the birth status of the registered population in Liangzhou so as to facilitate the payment of government benefits, governments in various places were running out of bamboo slips.
Fortunately, the emergence of bamboo paper has temporarily solved this problem.
Bamboo paper, which is lightweight, easy to use and has a large carrying capacity, can supplement the daily needs of the government. It has greatly reduced the pressure on the writing tools of the government in various places and is very popular among officials.
However, there are still many problems in the production of bamboo paper.
The bamboo producing area closest to Liangzhou is actually Sichuan, which is Yizhou.
Liu Bei then planned to send people to Yizhou to purchase a large amount of bamboo to bring to Liangzhou. However, the mountains were high and the roads were far away, so it would be difficult to make the trip for a while, which made him quite troubled.
