Chapter 1744: Resigning From Office, Zifeng Wants to Retire

"Your Majesty." Without waiting for Liu Bei to order someone to read out his reward, Shen Long stepped out and interrupted Liu Bei, "When I left the mountain before, my teacher told me to return to the court as soon as the world was settled. Shan, the teacher's order must not be disobeyed, and please take it back, Your Majesty, don't use it to give any rewards to humble ministers!"

I reckon this task is almost finished, and it doesn't matter if it's an official or not. Anyway, our emperor has been an official more than once, and it doesn't matter how big an official is. Just leave like this.

"Why is Zifeng doing this?" Although Liu Bei had heard the news from Zhuge Liang a long time ago, he still had luck in his heart. Hearing Shen Long's words, he couldn't accept it for a while, so he quickly persuaded, "Although Cao Wei has surrendered, let's move around." There are still wars, rebellions from time to time, border barbarians keep shutting down, not to mention it will take time for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, all of these are inseparable from Zifeng!"

"Yes, Zifeng, in Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou Xinna, the local people are short of food and clothing; the Western Regions have been closed for a long time, and it is very difficult to restore the Western Regions. Wait a minute, if there is no Zifeng to preside over the overall situation, how can we handle it properly?" Zhuge Liang also came out to help speak.

"That's right, Zifeng, if you don't reward your meritorious service, how will the people of the world treat Your Majesty? Besides, a man should take the world as his own responsibility in life. Zifeng is so young, why does he want to return to the mountains?" Then came Guan Yu.

Then Zhang Fei, Xu Shu, Ma Chao, Qiao Zhou, Xu Jing, Ma Jun, Jian Yong, Qin Mi and others appeared on the stage one by one, and they all persuaded Shen Long to stay. Even Liu Bei came down from the throne and personally held Shen Long's hand Retained, "But what did I do wrong? If so, please tell Zifeng to be blunt, and I will correct it!"

"Your Majesty misunderstood, I have never had any dissatisfaction, it is indeed a teacher's order." Shen Long said hastily, "As for Prime Minister Zhuge's concerns, in my opinion, it is not worth mentioning, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou , Although Jizhou is short of grain, but Runan, Nanyang, and Jiangdong are well-cooked, and they can go by sea and water to mobilize grain to relieve the people in the north."

"Use Deng Ai, Wang Ji, Wenpin and others to lead troops to garrison the northern region. Firstly, they can crusade against non-officials and quiet the place; secondly, they can lead the local people to resume production; thirdly, they can guard against the barbarians outside the Great Wall." These people are all capable of farming. Compound talents who can also fight wars, and if they are equipped with some government affairs talents, these places will be able to settle down quickly, and they will be self-sufficient next year at most.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang thought about it for a while, and they both felt that Shen Long's arrangement was very reasonable. At that time, they would transfer good seeds from other places, arrange for Ma Jun to provide farm tools for the Northland, and send people to the Northland to teach farming and build water conservancy. There are quite a lot of fertile fields, as long as these fertile fields are recultivated, it is enough to feed the local people, not to mention that there are so many means?

"As for the blocking of the Western Regions, Meng Qi can be the chief protector of the Western Regions and dig through the Western Regions again." This is what I thought about a long time ago. With Ma Chao, the Qiang people in Longyou would not dare to attack the Han army, so they can pass Hexi safely. The corridor reached the territory of the Western Regions, "It's just that the Western Regions are far away, I don't know if Meng Qi is willing to go!"

"I don't dare to ask for what I want. If I can reopen the Western Regions for the great man, why would I cherish the corpse wrapped in horse leather!" Ma Chao immediately expressed his position, and even quoted Ma Yuan's famous saying. Even if Guan Xing, Zhang Bao and others are involved in a small scene, it would be overkill, let alone him?

That is to say, staying in Chang'an, Ma Chao doesn't have many opportunities to make contributions. He is only in his forties now, and his ambitions have not dissipated. It just happened to satisfy his wish, if he could reproduce the glorious record of the former champion Hou, Ma Chao would die without regret.

"Let Jiang Boyue help Meng Qi!" Shen Long continued, then let Jiang Wei go with him, and when Ma Chao is old,

You can let him go back to Chang'an for the elderly, and Jiang Wei will succeed the governor of the Western Regions, so that the big man will not have to worry about the instability of the Western Regions for the next 30 years.

Seeing the unification of the world, Jiang Wei was both gratified and somewhat regretful. He was gratified that he had made great achievements in the process of unifying the world; it was a pity that the unification of the world came too early, and he had not yet shown much ability. Cao Wei was pacified by Shen Long and Zhuge Liang. It is a pity that he has all kinds of abilities but no use for them.

But going to the Western Regions is different. There are many kingdoms in the Western Regions, and the situation is complicated. Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, who appreciate him, are not a problem, so Jiang Wei immediately agreed.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, with Meng Qi and Bo Yue here, it's only a matter of time before repeating the Western Regions!" Shen Long said to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang with a smile, this problem has been solved again.

"Imperial examinations are emerging, and scholars in Sichuan, Jingzhou and other places are indeed more familiar. If you generalize, it will be quite unfair to scholars in the north." The development of cultural levels in different places is different. If you use a unified standard test, you may not be able to use it. In the past few years, the court hall has been full of scholars from central Shu, Jingzhou and other places, which is not very good for the stability of the big man.

"We can count the number of people in each state and county in the world, and determine the guaranteed admission amount of each state based on the number of people; then conduct preliminary examinations in each state based on these, and select three or five times the number of scholars to enter Chang'an to take the exam, so it can be solved." Shen Long referred to the college entrance examination of later generations. The practice is to ensure that each state and county has a quota for admission, which can solve this problem to a certain extent.

"At the same time, we will continue to build schools and libraries in the north to train more scholars." As long as the local scholars are given more opportunities to study, there will only be more and more talents in Dahan.

Zhuge Liang thought about it carefully, and although there were still many things to be perfected in the specific details, there was no problem with the general direction.

"Even if there are no humble ministers around, there are people who can do these things well, so why does Your Majesty force you to stay in Chang'an?" Shen Long said to Liu Bei again.

"I really can't bear Zifeng. Even if it is for the people of the world, Zifeng can stay for a few more years?" Liu Bei still insisted on granting Shen Long high-ranking officials and nobles, and rewarding Shen Long with a rich mansion, and then let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei often accompany Shen Long. He stayed in Chang'an.

Regarding this, Shen Long smiled and said nothing, if I want to leave, I am afraid that Guan Erye and Zhang Sanye alone will not be able to stop me. If you have the ability to find Zuo Ci, Yu Ji and others, maybe there are still so many people. A little bit possible.
