The first time he saw the Yellow Turban District in Qingzhou, it left a very deep impression on him, and he didn't know how to describe it.
But one thing he finally saw clearly was that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban had ingeniously integrated the talisman as the core method into every aspect of life and production.
The specific effect is unknown, but judging from his perspective, it should be quite useful.
At the very least, he was impressed by the speed and carrying capacity of the four-wheeled cart, as well as the corresponding maneuverability. Although he didn't know much about military affairs, he also understood the huge role of the rune four-wheeled cart in logistics dispatch.
Even if we don't mention the military significance and role, if the Mi Family Trading Company has powerful transportation tools such as rune four-wheeled carts, I am afraid that the Mi Family's influence and strength will reach a higher level and will definitely not be weaker than the best in the world.
The wealthy Zhongshang Zhen family may even be even better.
From Mi Zhu's point of view, the communication symbols that are spread throughout the Qingzhou Yellow Turban territory at the township and even village levels have a role that is not just as simple as urging children to go to school in the morning, but also have a more important and critical role.
The sentiment is conveyed!
This is a headache that troubles every ruler. As far as Mi Zhu knows, many times the decrees from above are either changed or completely lost when they are lower down. Of course, the deliberate misinterpretation and concealment by local powerful people and the government are indispensable. Anyway, as long as there is
Things that benefit the local area, obstructing or distorting the government's decrees, or directly blocking them, it really doesn't matter, you can encounter it everywhere.
How about every time we encounter a prosperous dynasty, the description of the dynasty will include the sentence "the decree is smooth"?
And with the communication symbols spread throughout the towns and villages in the jurisdiction, every decision of Lei Hu, the leader of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, can be known to the people at the lowest level immediately, instead of being communicated through layers of officials. This will save a lot of trouble.
, you can understand it if you think about it.
This is a step further than the perfect rural pavilion system during the heyday of the Han Empire. At least in terms of policies targeting the lowest level people, communication symbols are used as propaganda tools, which will not give excuses and opportunities for the grassroots officials below to act recklessly.
These measures seem to have little effect on improving the strength of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, but Mi Zhu understands in his heart that with the ability to directly spread propaganda to the lowest villages, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans have extraordinary control over their subordinates. If anything happens,
The power and resources that can be mobilized will be extremely amazing.
Sitting on the rune four-wheeled cart, Mi Zhu's mind was in chaos and he couldn't calm down. What he saw and heard in the Huangjin area of Qingzhou gave him too much surprise and thinking. Even he himself didn't know what was going on at this time.
What kind of emotion is it.
Until he stopped at a village near the roadside to rest, and saw a large group of children playing by, he suddenly realized and asked in a deep voice: "How do you think the children in the village can also go to school?"
"That's natural!"
The accompanying yellow scarf sergeant laughed and said: "Mr. Mi, I don't know, but the chief has an order that all children between the ages of five and ten, regardless of whether the family is poor or rich, must go to school, otherwise the consequences will be very serious!"
"No way!"
Mi Zhu was surprised and said: "Does your department have so many teachers?"
This is universal education. Fortunately, the leader of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou dares to behave like this. Don’t you know that such behavior violates the taboo of powerful families?
"What's this?"
The accompanying yellow scarf sergeant said disapprovingly: "The school only teaches the children how to read and write. They don't learn the Confucian Four Books and Five Classics that require a lot of effort, but they learn useful miscellaneous knowledge such as numerology, spells, martial arts, military strategies, etc.
It’s not difficult to listen to the teachers in the school!”
The words were spoken easily, but the content inside shocked Mi Zhu.
It is quite taboo here in Qingzhou Yellow Turban to engage in popular education. Unexpectedly, the teachings are still miscellaneous studies instead of the orthodox Confucian Four Books and Five Classics?
If the news spreads, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army will wait for all the wealthy families in the world to join forces to kill him.
As a powerful member of Xuzhou, he felt a little unhappy at this time. What the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans said was simply treasonous. They didn’t know the importance of knowledge, and they even launched universal education. It was simply inexplicable.
At the same time, Mi Zhu was vaguely worried. If the Qingzhou Yellow Turban succeeded, it would be terrible in the future.
Whether it is mathematics, spells, martial arts, military strategy, or miscellaneous studies related to practical matters, once you are famous for your knowledge, you will be a real talent. If the number of miscellaneous talents in this area increases, they should not be underestimated.
.
With all sorts of complex and guilty consciences, Mi Zhu and his party arrived at the Yellow Turban's lair in Qingzhou after half a month's trek. They reported the name of Ambassador Liu and met Lei Hu, the leader of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.
But it was just a meeting, and then he was received by the Qingzhou Huangjin Political Hall and traded with him.
When he was taken to the huge workshop of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, he was once again deeply impressed by the water-powered forging and some incomprehensible forging methods.
And when people from the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Political Hall took him to the ordnance warehouse and saw that the entire warehouse was filled with all kinds of ordnance and equipment, he couldn't take his eyes away and was completely numb.
Although the ordnance and equipment here are all simple or even rudimentary, in Mi Zhu's opinion, equipping Liu Shijun's men and horses is enough, and what is needed is large quantities. If they are given too sophisticated military equipment, he will bring
You may not be able to buy much with the money you got, that thing is too expensive.
It can be said that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban attaches great importance to this transaction with Liu Shijun. Not only did they provide discounts on the transaction price of ordnance and equipment, but they also mobilized hundreds of rune four-wheeled carts to help with transportation. They only used and
At the same time as they arrived, the large amount of ordnance supplies purchased this time were transported to the edge of the checkpoint.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mi, the road condition after leaving my Yellow Turban area is too bad, so these military equipment and supplies can only be sent here!"
The accompanying civil servant of the Yellow Turban Political Affairs Hall of Qingzhou apologized and said, "It's a pity that the wooden cow and flowing horse captured by the chief personally have not yet been developed. Otherwise, these things can be sent directly to Xuzhou Ambassador Liu!"
"Shocked, no need to be so polite!"
Mi Zhu, who originally planned to express his gratitude, froze. Seeing the faint pride of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban accompanying officials, he had no choice but to smile and said: "It's quite good to be able to deliver it here in such a short time!"
Nima, do you want to be so proud?
It's just that the faint envy and jealousy in my heart cannot be deceived. It must be something better than the "talisman chariot" to accompany the "wooden ox and horse" mentioned by the officials.
For a moment, he couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion. He walked around the Yellow Turban area in Qingzhou. Everything he saw here almost made him doubt his life. Is this still the Yellow Turban bandit?
After seeing off the accompanying officials of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Political Hall, Mi Zhu was not in a hurry to leave the outermost checkpoint of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. Instead, he sent his confidants to Xuzhou to ask Liu Shijun to send troops to escort them.
Unexpectedly, a month later, Zhang Fei commanded 100,000 elite troops and roared in. Regardless of the dust and exhaustion, when he saw the ordnance and equipment stacked in the checkpoint warehouse, he couldn't help but burst into laughter that shook hundreds of miles.
After a brief exchange with Mi Zhu and knowing the doubts in his heart, even Zhang Fei, who has always been rough and arrogant, couldn't help but remain silent for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly: "Someone doesn't understand either. I always feel that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban has changed to a big leader.
Finally, the changes are so fast that it’s hard to figure it out!”
Not to mention Zhang Fei personally led an army of 100,000 to escort the purchased ordnance and equipment. After returning to Liu Bei's hometown in Xuzhou, he discussed the changes in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. Here, Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou appointed by Sun Zan, the old prince of Youzhou, was now
I also fell into the cognitive barrier of Qingzhou Yellow Turban.
Is this still the Yellow Turban?
After receiving the detailed information about the Yellow Turban area in Qingzhou from his subordinates, Tian Kai looked confused.
It is said that since Lei Hu became the leader of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, he directly changed the Yellow Turban Army's mobile warfare, or extremely unstable banditry style, and began to tap internal potential to occupy farmland.
Not to mention the chaotic period of rectifying the internal order of the Yellow Turbans and suppressing the public order, after everything was adjusted properly, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans had transformed from rogue bandits into a small warlord force that ruled the land.
Lei Hu has no intention of cutting off the Qingzhou Yellow Turban territory and its channels of communication with the outside world.
According to him, as long as the rules set by the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are followed, there are not many obstacles to the entry of outsiders, everything is laid out in the open, and there are no empty tricks.
In this way, it was naturally convenient for Tian Kai's spies who were closest to him. They traveled around the Qingzhou Yellow Turban area, and then reported everything they saw and heard to Tian Kai. Of course, they all added the sentence "not to be the enemy" at the end to remind themselves.
Boss.
After seeing the detailed observation report, Tian Kai was completely confused.
Unexpectedly, Qingzhou Yellow Turban had completely changed its appearance without making a sound.
Nima, according to the information, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are not only powerful in sweeping across Qingzhou, but at least there is no problem in driving him, the governor of Qingzhou away, right? Why don't you see these Yellow Turban thieves taking action?
After just thinking about it for a moment, he understood what was going on. He felt ashamed and angry at the same time. He said angrily: "You bastard, how can you still think about staying out of it?"
The current situation is very unfriendly to Youzhou Gunsunzan.
The elite men under him, Baima Yicong, were defeated by the elite men under Yuan Shao from Jizhou. The initial fierce offensive suddenly turned into a passive defense.
As the governor of Qingzhou appointed by Gongsun Zan, Tian Kai's life naturally became extremely difficult in this situation. With the power at his disposal, it was simply impossible to drive Yuan Shao's men from Jizhou out of Qingzhou.
Just when he was worried, he suddenly found that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, whom he had previously despised, had changed his behavior. He was confused. How could he not make good use of such a force as the Qingzhou Yellow Turban?
"Hey, if we are going to be unlucky, let's all be unlucky together..."
