Chapter 134 Food Task
As for this uniqueness, it was Liu Yao who almost turned this good opening ceremony into a product launch conference. The person who introduced this was naturally Zhang Fang, the head of Huoyun Trading Company under Liu Yao. Liu Yao completely made the reputation of this paper book based on his previous life's knowledge, and the Youzhou Academy will surely resound with the world as the reputation of this book.
Zhang Fang said that because there are not many paper books, people outside Youzhou who want to buy these papers and books will have to pay a little money. As for how much money is, we have to see who will make a decision.
And in this Youzhou, those who want to buy these will naturally be at a friendly price, and they will naturally have a little bit of meaning to their own people.
However, the most important thing is that as long as you join the Youzhou Academy and the officials who join the Youzhou Academy can use paper and receive the book for free, without spending a penny at all. At this moment, the Youzhou Academy will not be able to become popular. Of course, the amount of the receipt will also vary according to the size of the official position. Liu Yao’s true confidant like Guo Jia and Zhang Fei will naturally want as much as he wants.
When Zhang Fei saw this paper, he was almost drooling. In addition to good wine, Zhang Fei also likes to practice calligraphy and painting, especially good at painting beauties. Even the archaeologist Liu Yao, a former archaeologist, was surprised. No original works of Zhang Fei were passed down in his previous life. Now Liu Yao can feast his eyes.
Immediately, many literati joined Youzhou Academy. Of course, Liu Yao would not accept everyone. Before that, he would have to take the exam for his character and see if he really wanted to learn. He would divide these people into different subjects. As for those who came completely for paper and books, they were naturally driven out directly.
Because of this, for a long time, officials in other places were envious of the officials in Youzhou. The officials in Youzhou not only had high salaries, but also had various benefits like this. Because the high salaries in Youzhou also led to the appearance of few corrupt officials in Youzhou. Because the salary Liu Yao gave them was enough for them to spend their entire lives. Except for those guys who were really indifferent to the human hearts, few people would take risks of embezzlement. Once this was discovered, it would be the punishment of beheading.
Therefore, the officials in Youzhou are working diligently to improve their political achievements, for fear that such a good job will run away. You must know that the officials who want to join Youzhou have gone there. I wonder how many people are staring at them from behind. And even if you don’t talk about being an official, Youzhou is still the most peaceful place in the entire Han Dynasty. The Yellow Turbans cannot reach Youzhou, and the foreign tribe cannot step into Youzhou. Only in such a place is the safest.
So the opening ceremony of Youzhou Academy ended. The reputation of the academy has been considered to be a hit. Although it cannot be compared with an old academies like Yingchuan Academy for the time being, it is just a matter of time to surpass him. Moreover, Yingchuan Academy focuses on the children of the aristocratic families, and on the contrary, Youzhou Academy cares more about the buried poor families. Of course, those aristocratic families who are sincerely studying will not refuse.
After the opening ceremony ended, the three elders of Jingzhou and Kong Rong lived in Youzhou for a few days and left. Liu Yao was only able to feel sorry for this. After all, these things must be done with the flow. It is worth mentioning that Zheng Xuan of the great scholar, and he didn't know what Cai Yong said to him. Anyway, Zheng Xuan decided to stay in Youzhou Academy. He served as the dean of Youzhou Academy with Cai Yong, and there was no distinction between the chief and the deputy. With the two elders in the formation and a large number of gentlemen joined Youzhou Academy, the talents in the future must be continuously supplemented to Liu Yao's command.
Time flies, and a year passed quickly. In July of the third year of Zhongping, Youzhou's development has been very rapid this year. The four cities surrounding Ji County have been established and completed. The scale of these four cities is quite large. Each can accommodate a population of 200,000 to 300,000. You should know that Ji County is only a population of more than 600,000.
Liu Yao directly named it Qinglong City, Baihu City, Zhuque City, and Xuanwu City. Although this is indeed a bit vulgar, no one objected to it. All the refugees moved in, and Liu Yao also distributed some land to it according to the heads. As long as they were willing to cultivate and farm, they could live a good life in Youzhou.
Just half a year ago, Hua Xin came to Youzhou through Guan Ning's letter, and Liu Yao immediately appointed him as the prefect of Shanggu. Bing Yuan was also appointed as the prefect of Yuyang. His senior brother Gu Yong was promoted to the prefect of Youbeiping by Liu Yao because of his outstanding political achievements over the past year. Although the prefect needs to be appointed by the court, these are not difficult for Liu Yao at all. A letter can be done. It can be said that Youzhou is now a solid piece and there will never be any problems again.
It is also the season when autumn harvest is about to be seen. Every autumn harvest is the happiest time in Youzhou. Because this autumn harvest means there is food to eat.
Because of the military farming system formulated by Liu Yao, the people of Youzhou only had some of the food handed over to the court, and the other food was all theirs. In addition to using the food they saved, if there was excess food, the government would also buy it at the market price at that time. The people were happy to sell the excess food to the government. This would not only help the provincial governor whom they respected the most, but also exchange a lot of money for their family use.
However, there was extremely bad news on this day that broke the harmonious atmosphere.
On this day, when Liu Yao, the number one idle man in Youzhou, was dragged by Ju Su to deal with some important government affairs, someone rushed into Liu Yao's study. "Lord, lord, something is not good."
Liu Yao looked at the figure of the visitor differently. If it weren’t Diannong’s lieutenant Zao Shi, or who would it be?
"Zao Fu, why are you so panicked?" Liu Yao asked in confusion, but a trace of gloom was covered in his heart. This Zao Fu is in charge of agriculture, so what is bad for him must be related to food.
"Lord, this year, the locust plague in Jizhou. Now there are many scattered locusts in Youzhou Yuyang, Jixian, Shanggu and other counties." Zao Qi said worriedly. Since ancient times, this locust plague has been a natural disaster and cannot be resisted by manpower.
"Bastard, how could this locust plague in Jizhou come to our Youzhou?" Liu Yao stood up with a "swoosh" and roared. He slapped directly on the table. Suddenly, under Liu Yao's strange power, the table ended his life.
"Your lord, the locust plague was originally in Jizhou, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Jizhou, the food was not planted much, so the locusts came to us in Youzhou." Zao Qi explained.
"Damn... I won't go to this locust plague, but I came to Youzhou. Could it be because the harvest in our Youzhou is so good?" Liu Yao thought depressedly, and then sat down again.
"Lord, this locust plague is a big deal. If there is no way to deal with it, then all the harvests in our Youzhou this year will be in vain. Although we are not afraid of storing grain in Youzhou, it will still have a great impact on our future plans." Ju Su said anxiously from the side.
