Of course, Yizhou people are willing to pay for high-quality educational resources, even if the price is very expensive and makes them feel painful or even broken.
But if you can get on Liu Bei's relationship and get on the official express train, then the price is absolutely worth it, even worth it.
They gave Liu Bei grain, silk cloth, brocade, rare treasures, and five baht. They were willing to give Liu Bei anything, and they were willing to give it in large amounts and in excess.
As long as Liu Bei is willing to accept their children into Liangzhou Prefecture School and give them a little special attention.
They have no shortage of these things, and they have many channels to obtain these things, but they have no channels to obtain the things Liu Bei masters.
So he came to Yizhou to fight a battle. Liu Bei hardly put any money into it, but he also gained some valuable things for Liu Bei.
There was no need to sell salt to Shu, and Liu Bei basically achieved his goal.
As for selling salt to Shuzhong, Liu Bei decided to put it on hold for the time being. He could just talk to Liu Hong and Zhang Rang at that time. There is no need for practical operations for the time being. When the salt resources in Shuzhong are controlled, the technology can be directly introduced. Yes, there is no need to transport it all the way.
Throughout the entire schedule in Shu, Liu Bei did not feel any discomfort. The people of Shu treated Liu Bei with great enthusiasm.
If there was anything wrong, only one family had a bad feeling for Liu Bei.
The Zhang family in Chengdu, Shu County, the Gongyang Chunqiu family, was one of the families that suffered heavy losses due to Liu Bei's efforts and lost its status as a powerful family. It is natural for them to be full of resentment towards Liu Bei.
But because of Liu Bei's current status and power, as well as the power of winning the battle in Shu, Zhang did not dare to do anything to Liu Bei.
It is worth mentioning that although the Zhang family has lost its status in the Yue family, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. In Shu County and even the entire Yizhou, the Zhang family is still a well-known family and controls a large amount of the economy. interests and have relatively large local power.
Despite this, they did not dare to do anything to Liu Bei. The so-called county magistrates are not as good as those who are in charge. For Liu Bei, a general who entered Yizhou with heavy troops to quell the rebellion, they wisely stayed away and did not publicly embarrass Liu Bei.
Otherwise, they were not sure whether Liu Bei would do something to them with the power and troops in his hands.
Even just a little bit would probably make them feel very uncomfortable.
The reason why Liu Bei knew that they were full of malice was because there were rumors in Chengdu that the Zhang family was dissatisfied with Liu Bei and said a lot of bad things about Liu Bei in private, calling him a successor to false learning and so on.
Liu Bei laughed it off and looked magnanimous.
"I look at people, not words, but actions. What's the problem with being quick with my words? The ancients even knew that it is better to guard against people's mouth than to guard against rivers. How can I block other people's private communication? What do they want to say? , just say it, I don’t care.”
When people heard about it, they all admired Liu Bei's mind.
But Liu Bei didn't have to pursue the case, but many Yizhou locals who had successfully established a relationship with Liu Bei and were eager to please him were dissatisfied with Zhang. They sent people to shout and curse outside Zhang's mansion, making Zhang very embarrassed.
The general trend is with Liu Bei. They can't even guarantee that what they say in their private homes will not be spread to outsiders, let alone the anger of outsiders?
Liu Bei didn't care about the loser.
In early July, it was extremely hot in Sichuan.
Liu Bei has almost accomplished what he wanted to accomplish. The bamboos that should be cut down have almost been cut down, and the teams that should set out are almost ready. He is already the last group of people to leave Shuzhong.
So Liu Bei decided to say goodbye and leave Shuzhong. A large group of Shuzhong celebrities led by Gao Yu cried and sent Liu Bei thirty miles north of Chengdu, and then reluctantly watched Liu Bei leave.
After embarking on his return journey, Liu Bei wanted to make a perfect summary of his journey to Shu, and then gain a wave of fame, reshape his image in front of his subordinates, and enhance everyone's admiration for him.
Therefore, he exerted his shameless Wenzhaogong spirit and reproduced "The Road to Shu is Difficult" written by His Excellency Shixian.
This poem follows the old title of Yuefu, uses romantic techniques to develop rich imagination, and perfectly fits the persona of a romantic poet that Liu Bei created for himself in Luoyang.
Although Liu Bei did not often engage in the matter of copying documents, he had long since lost his worries. Unless His Excellency Shixian also traveled through time, no one would trouble him.
So, I’m sorry, Sir Shixian, I’d like to lend you a great use!
After arriving at Baishui Pass, while the entourage took a short rest, Liu Bei and a group of his subordinates boarded the Baishui Pass tower.
"Along the way, I have seen the difficulty of the Shu Road, and I have walked it under my feet. It is still so difficult for today's people to march through it. How did the ancients who did not even have the road today manage to navigate among these mountains and rocks? Who opened up all these roads?"
Liu Bei asked this question in front of countless subordinates who were following him.
Yan Wen has a relatively broad range of knowledge, so he answered.
"It is said that the Golden Bull Road we are walking on was opened under the order of the King of Shu of the ancient Shu Kingdom. At that time, the King of Shu already had a place to praise Han people. When he was hunting, he met King Hui of Qin, and the two became acquainted. Later, the Qin State prepared to attack the Shu State, but the road to Shu was extremely difficult and the Qin army could not pass, so someone gave advice to King Qin Hui.
So King Hui arranged several stone cows at the meeting place of the two kings, and placed some gold under the tails of the stone cows, claiming that the stone cows could pull out gold. King Shu was greedy for gold and wanted to take the stone cows away, but At that time, the road was difficult and dangerous, and the stone oxen could not transport it.
So the King of Shu ordered five Ding warriors to lead more than a thousand people to dig mountains and open a road to meet the cattle, and the Golden Bull Road was born. Later, the Qin army followed the Golden Bull Road from Hanzhong to attack Chengdu, destroying the ancient Shu kingdom, occupying the land of Shu, and laying the foundation for Going out of Hangu Pass in the east is the basis for unifying the world. "
Liu Bei smiled.
"Speaking of it this way, is this Golden Ox Path still the root cause of the demise of the ancient Shu Kingdom?"
"The legends of future generations cannot be taken seriously."
Yan Wen smiled and said slowly: "How could a king entrust his military and state affairs to such a thing? The construction of the Shu Road is nothing more than the people of Shu and Qin who want to communicate with each other and exchange what they have. Of course, the people of Shu We also know the dangers of digging roads, so we set up many barriers.”
Yan Wen reached out and patted the masonry of Baishui's door, sighing very much.
"But we still find it difficult to walk on the Shu Road. How much manpower and material resources were spent on supervising and building these passes and military towns? The Shu Road is still too difficult. Whether the army is transporting grain or the merchants are passing by, it is still difficult for people today. It’s difficult, let alone the ancients.”
Everyone sighed deeply at Yan Wen's sigh.
Jia Xu, Xun You, Xun Yu, Han Hao... they all sighed.
"But this road has finally been opened. After eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, there is finally more than one way to go out."
Liu Bei smiled and patted the bricks of Baishui Pass: "There is no road in the world. When there are more people walking, there will be a road. The key lies in people, not in hardships and dangers. Nothing is difficult in the world. As long as you are willing to climb, the ancients took it one step at a time. We have excavated the road to Shu, step by step, we will eventually be able to create miracles, please encourage me together!"
"only!"
The subordinates all bowed their hands to Liu Bei and saluted, their eyes full of reverence.
Okay, now that you’re full with chicken soup, you can start your post-meal exercise.
Liu Bei laughed.
"But speaking of it, the difficulty of the Shu Road is really unforgettable. After walking it once, you don't want to walk it a second time. If you have to walk it a second time, how difficult will it be? Everyone, Shu Road It is more difficult than reaching the blue sky!"
Saying this, Liu Bei turned his back to everyone and suddenly shouted loudly.
"Hey, how dangerous it is! The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky!"
Everyone was confused about what Liu Bei meant, and when they were about to ask, Liu Bei spoke again.
"With silkworms and yufu, how confused was the founding of the country!"
"You are forty-eight thousand years old, and you are not in the vicinity of Qin Sai!"
"There is a bird path in Taibai, Xidang, which can cross the top of Emei! The earth will collapse and the mountains will kill the strong men! Then the stone stacks of the ladder to the sky will be connected!"
"On the top there are six dragons returning to the sun. On the bottom there is the rushing wave and turning back to Sichuan. The yellow crane cannot fly past, and the ape is trying to survive its sorrow!"
"There are piles of blue mud, and there are nine twists and turns in a hundred steps, lingering on the rocky mountains. I stand beside the Lijing Well and look up and take a breath. I sit with my hands on my back and sigh..."
While Liu Bei was patting the bricks of Baishui Pass, he was walking slowly under the gaze of everyone, patting one step at a time.
Catchy words came out of his mouth one after another, his voice was loud and full of energy.
"When will the great army return after a hundred battles? I am afraid that the road is too steep and the rocks are inaccessible, but I see mourning birds calling ancient trees, male and female flying around the forest, and I hear Zigui singing about the moon at night, and I feel sad about the empty mountain!"
"The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the blue sky! It makes people wither their beauty!"
"The sky is not full even when the peaks are gone, withered pines hang upside down and lean on the cliffs, rushing waterfalls compete with each other, and the cliffs turn into rocks with thousands of thunders! The same is true of the dangers. Those who have traveled a long way have come here for no reason!"
Word by word, Liu Bei blurted out words as he walked slowly, as if nothing could stop him from speaking out his feelings about the road to Shu.
The subordinates were already intoxicated and could not help but follow Liu Bei's footsteps and move forward slowly.
Ruan Yu, the number one fan, was even red-faced and couldn't contain his excitement. He only saw Liu Bei's figure, heard only Liu Bei's powerful voice, and felt only passionate emotions in his heart.
This was the first time that he witnessed his idol speaking out such magnificent fantasies and powerful words.
And it was still in front of his eyes!
He witnessed it all with his own eyes!
After Liu Bei had confided everything, Ruan Yu couldn't help himself. He stepped in front of Liu Bei, blushed and knelt down in front of him. He took out a stack of bamboo paper he carried with him, raised his hands, and said to Liu Bei spread out in front of you.
"Your Majesty! I also ask Your Majesty to put the calligraphy you just made on paper! Please give me a calligraphy treasure for Yu to see! If you can't, Yu will be like a thousand ants eating him! He will die from this!"
As Ruan Yu said this, tears burst out of his eyes, and he actually cried in front of Liu Bei. He cried very loudly and collapsed.
Was he actually so destroyed by Shixian's talent?
Li Taibai, you are truly a rare talent in the world that is rare in a thousand years!
While sighing with emotion, Liu Bei nodded shamelessly, asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and under the admiring gaze of everyone, he wrote the song "The Road to Shu is Difficult" in one go.
Then he wrote the name [Liu Bei] shamelessly.
After finishing writing, Ruan Yu held the poem with trembling hands, looking at the powerful words with a crazy look on his face, and tears kept pouring out.
He felt infinitely excited that he had witnessed this scene that would eventually go down in history.
The rest of the people came forward to watch, looking at the calligraphy written by Liu Bei himself with envy, and their eyes were full of desire to take it for themselves.
But Ruan Yu held this "calligraphy treasure" tightly, admiring it while scanning the unfriendly crowd around him with extremely cautious eyes. He seemed to know the thoughts of these guys very well, and slowly distanced himself from them. .
Want this calligraphy treasure?
Okay, step over my corpse!
At this time, only Jia Xu walked up to Liu Bei in time, took the pen from Liu Bei's hand, and then quietly stuffed the pen into his sleeve.
He thought he had done it very secretly, but Xun You walked up to him with a smile on his face.
"Jia Canjun, although that pen is not a valuable object, it was used by the monarch. Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to keep it privately? Why not take out the pen and give it to everyone to see?" "
Jia Xu glanced at Xun You sideways.
"Xun Canjun was joking. I saw that the prince has not cleaned this pen after using it. I am going to clean it for the prince and return it to the prince after washing."
Xun You continued to smile like he was smiling.
"Hahahaha, Jia Canjun is really good at sharing the worries of the prince, but for such a small matter, it is better to leave it to someone later to complete it. Jia Canjun has a lot of things to do every day, and there are still many things to do, isn't it?"
Jia Xu also showed the same smile.
"Xun Canjun also has a lot of things to do. Although Xun Canjun has to serve the emperor a little later than me, he still has a lot of things to do. Leave these small things to me."
The two of them looked at each other with narrowed eyes, and it was obvious that they both understood the true purpose of each other's actions.
As the initiator of all this, the shameless Mr. Liu Xuande is still complacent and feels very happy for his flawless performance.
He knew that his charm as a leader-level figure had been fully activated at this moment.
For these elite subordinates who have greater emotional needs in addition to interests, in addition to creating an image of a strong and just and strict lord, they also need to create an image of a charming man. Only in this way can their loyalty be maintained to the maximum extent.
The existence of the metaphysics of charm is difficult to explain clearly, but once it is possessed, it will have an even more incredible and strong attraction to the elite talents under its command.
Political games in the real world are much more difficult than video games. Loyalty cannot be won by rewards. Elites need many things, which are complex and mysterious. If they are not satisfied, they will become dissatisfied and fall apart.
But for Mr. Liu Xuande, who has the cheating function, it may not be that difficult.
