After the Great Sacrifice on the Han River, the first batch of messengers from Huaizhong City entered the Handong region through the three passes.
Different from the past, the messenger this time was a female soldier from Qiubei.
Therefore, the person who wrote the letter would not be the Huaizhong City bureaucrats, but the harem group led by Mei Dan.
Currently, the only people qualified to use Qiubei female soldiers to deliver letters are Mei Dan.
The other Peach Blossom Fairy, Huaishui Goddess, etc. can send messages, but Qiubei female soldiers cannot be used.
There are three supervisors in Liuying's establishment, namely Meidan, Nüqiang and Nüxia.
The female Xia is Shang Xiaomei, and "Xia" means "Ya", so the part of Liuying that Shang Xiaomei is responsible for is also called "Ya Department" and "Xia Department".
Earlier, for the convenience of management, the "Spring Department" and "Winter Department" were further classified according to the "Summer Department".
The spring department is directly managed by Mei Dan, but he rarely intervenes. The actual implementation is still carried out by the adjutants and female officers themselves.
The main responsibility of Meidan is to carefully seal and distribute official hats carefully.
Completely different from other countries, after the Hanzi Kingdom announced the Kaiyuan establishment, Huaizhong City had to be adjusted accordingly.
Obviously, it is impossible for the female soldiers in Qiubei to only fight, or all of them do security work.
The business volume divided into categories is actually quite extensive.
Just liaison inside and outside the palace requires the use of a large number of female soldiers.
Therefore, the basic functions of the temporarily formed spring department, summer department, and winter department are roughly divided into the spring department, which is responsible for the official hat, that is, the management of job appointments and dismissals; the summer department is responsible for performing general tasks.
The Xia Department is responsible for the supply of materials for female soldiers.
The last Tobu is the real combatant. Under normal circumstances, he is responsible for public security management.
Since the Hanzi Kingdom started in Yinxiang, until now, basically the most female menstrual products have been supplied to the female soldiers in Qiubei first.
The vast majority of women in various countries can only stay at home during their menstrual period. If their conditions are slightly worse, they may fall ill due to menstrual infections. In the end, minor illnesses will turn into serious illnesses, which can directly lead to death.
This point really calmed down many people.
Including the Che clan, the lackey of the Huaishui goddess, when the Zi Che clan gritted its teeth and moved the whole family, it was expected that more than half of the women in the family would be lost.
The Ziche family was even mentally prepared for the clan's population to be reduced by a quarter, but there was no doubt that things went awry. A slight improvement in sanitary conditions would lead to a huge difference in the death rate.
Therefore, after discovering that the female soldiers of Qiubei were established in the Kaiyuan Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, there were only three divisions of spring, summer and winter. The goddess of Huaishui never used her personal power again, and sent people to the Chu land from time to time to contact Li Jie.
Although Princess Yeyue also knows that the three parts of spring, summer and winter may be tentative and will not really run smoothly like this.
But for Ying Ying, this period may be three to five months, but it is not impossible to do so.
If it were really based on years, then the three parts of spring, summer and winter might still be a little bit less interesting, would there be another "autumn part"?
The issue that Ying Ying is considering is obviously not just as simple as being a quiet goddess in Huai River.
Zi Che also knew it very well, so when Li Jie was sweeping up the east of Han Dynasty, the Huaishui Goddess Palace kept a low profile for the first time. Even though it was clear that it wanted to interfere in the war between Qin and Jin, it was already very serious, but in the end it was still
I endured it.
To create a sense of presence and create a fixed impression, Ying Ying is quite familiar with this routine.
As long as I leave an impression on my husband that I am smart and capable, and I am also a little expert in business management, then the Qiubei Female Soldiers, a huge department, can only have three parts, spring, summer and winter?
It's impossible even if you think about it.
If we want to add an Qiube, who else is qualified except her, Princess Yeyue?
It's not that Ying Ying looks down on the peach blossoms, the two princesses of Chen Kingdom look smart, but in fact they are stupid. It is easy to please their husbands, but there is no way to ask them to share important business with them.
The most I can do is let you be a female secretary and then play house.
This is also true. Be it Gui Zhen or Gui Yao, it is the fate of a female secretary.
Probably because he was abducted by Li Jie relatively early, Chen Guobai's snake spirit has relatively simple ideas. He takes it easy every day, dresses himself up beautifully, and helps his father and his younger brother back home. That's about it.
Anyway, my daughter is very popular with her husband, so there is nothing else to say in life.
As long as she doesn't seek death, she won't be afraid even if her parents want to join forces with outsiders to besiege her husband.
White Snake Spirit didn't dare to say that it was the roundworm in her husband's stomach, but after all, she had slept with him for so many years, so she still knew her husband's temper.
He will get angry and furious, but he will not take his anger out on women like them because of outsiders' manipulations.
It can be said that the personal choices of Chen Guobai Snake Spirit and Qin Guo Princess are different, but it is difficult to say whether they are good or bad.
But they all have one thing in common, they don't seek death by acting like monsters. Basically, they have two attitudes in daily life. They all agree that they must either follow Li Jie or follow Mei Dan.
Therefore, people often want to send letters to Li Jie, either to increase their sense of presence, to express their feelings of longing, or simply to report their recent living conditions.
Without exception, they all reported to Meidan, who then ordered people to draft the letter, and then Meidan appointed female soldiers from Qiubei to send it to Handong.
The core of the entire process is not to bypass Meidan in making decisions.
Within the palace walls of Huaizhong City, there are opinions that can be discussed, but the princesses in the group are all very smart, and everyone has an extraordinary status, so it is better to serve Meidan honestly.
What's more, Li Jie's saying "Don't forget the friendship between the poor and the lowly, and the wife of the chaff will not go to court" is very popular in the land of Jianghuai.
Not to mention the nobles, even the "Baisha" savages who have just escaped from ignorance and barbarism are all very useful.
After all, these days, thanks to the existence of the evil dog Li Jie, the importance of women in social production is very, very high.
Even heavy physical labor such as river work has a team of healthy women, so what else can't be done?
It is precisely because of this social foundation that the entire Huaizhong City faced relatively little resistance when it came to appointing female officials.
In addition, the large and small forces that are marrying Li Jie have some bad intentions. Based on the fact that most women have no knowledge, they deliberately add fuel to the flames and consume the resources of the Li Jie Group.
But as a result, another strange phenomenon occurred, that is, when Huaizhong City forcibly promoted primary education, there were a large number of middle- and low-level scholar-bureaucrat families with small branches in nearby countries, especially Cai and Chen.
Later, the clan moved to the vicinity of Huaizhong City.
It’s not necessarily Huaizhong City, but it’s certainly not far from Huaizhong City.
But this time, unlike in the past, these small branches and close sects of middle- and low-level scholar-bureaucrat families did not come here for their personal future, but purely because they believed that their female descendants could have a better future.
Having risen to such a height, it is obvious that in such a group, even if Li Jie is an outlier, he is also an outlier that makes their emotions very complicated.
This involves the small calculations of a family, a group of low-level countrymen similar to Chen, Cai, Qin and Jin, who were supposed to shine in this detonated Warring States era.
However, because their respective countries wanted to dominate, or because people like Wei Cao wanted to control the sacred weapon of the country, the rulers who actually held power became incestuous and group-oriented in an unprecedented way.
In the past, within five servers, everyone could taste some benefits, but now, only the direct lineage of father, brother and son can truly become the core circle.
This forced those lower-level rural groups to find another way out.
The most typical example is Zhong Xingyun of the Jin State. He was originally an all-rounder who could run the army on horseback and govern the country on horseback. However, the strange power dilemma created by the special environment made Li Jie gain advantages in vain.
As for Li Jie, he only used one snake in the whole process.
Zhongxingyun was lucky, but more down-and-out countrymen and samurai had to come up with more ways.
If you have young children at home, you can go to Huaizhong City to take the exam.
If he is not young and his children are still growing up, then he can see the changes in the country of Han in the next five years as long as he sees the strange education model in Huaizhong City.
From the perspective of a lower-class elite, there is no need to consider gender to maximize family interests. In the past, marriage was used to strengthen family alliances. At this moment, it is just changed to receiving basic education in Huaizhong City.
With their family's financial resources, they can completely support the minors in their family to attend the primary school in Huaizhong City. In five years, or even longer term, ten years later, their sons may be able to take the exam, and the competition may be fierce.
Their daughter can also take the exam, but the difficulty may not be as intense as that of their son.
This is a relatively special elite family. At this time, regardless of gender, as long as they can successfully "career", the whole family can gain a firm foothold.
Since they were originally countrymen and warriors, they could naturally rely on their advantages as "landlords" to oust relatives from their hometowns.
Don't think too much about the change in status at this time, it will be very subtle.
So, when Li Jie had already made preparations to accumulate basic officials for the Handong region, he suddenly discovered that he had an extra group of traditional talents on hand.
They are speculators from Chen Cai, Wei Zheng, Qin and Jin, and there may even be kings among dog barbarians, descendants of handsome bloodlines, etc. However, these people do not start from the heart and feelings, but only from the perspective of interests.
Much more reliable than those surrender factions in Chu State.
To put it bluntly, when they, the low-level countrymen and warriors, choose Li Jie, they can only bet that Li Jie will become stronger and more awesome.
If you win the bet, you will naturally have unlimited glory. If you lose the bet, it will be nothing more than a loss of the accumulation of two generations. The son and daughter can continue to live by returning to their hometown to find someone to marry.
There is definitely no need to think about fiefdoms or anything like that. Just be a city citizen as a "national" and then perform military service honestly in exchange for military exploits. This is probably what the life of the third generation will be like.
However, there is a premise for all this, the bet is lost.
"Your Majesty, would it be too risky to call Liu Ying here at this time?"
"Madam is right." Faced with Sha Dong's question, Li Jie patted the letter paper on the table and said, "To appease the Chu people, sometimes women may be more useful. We can let the people from Liu Ying take care of it first.
With Chu women, when women communicate with women, they have to get closer after all."
"A few days ago, there was a case of 'Yi Cong' raping, raping, and plundering, and they were hanged according to the law. The Chu people are still very respectful to our Han army. Is it okay if there is no Liu camp?!"
"You can't look at things this way. You must be more efficient if you combine hardness and softness."
Li Jie reminded Sha Dong, "Have you forgotten how the Huaiyi people in Luyi were conquered back then? Although the Crocodile people are powerful in battle, in the end, it was Bai Ji's influence."
Li Jie's combat prowess was certainly the most important guarantee for intimidating Huaiyi back then, but another factor that accelerated Huaiyi's surrender was Bai Hao's ability to deliver babies.
A few maternal burps were avoided, and all grudges and grudges were wiped out.
A "tribe" that can reduce the rate of premature death should be the most powerful of all "tribes".
At that time, there was no difference in terms of fear between the Huaiyi people, whether they were afraid of the King of Wu or the then Mayor Li. They could not defeat him anyway.
But there must be a choice in the heart. After all, who can guarantee that his woman will give birth naturally every time?
"That's what your Majesty said."
Sha Dong saluted and thought about what Li Jie said, which indeed made sense.
Many times it is unclear, but a subtle move or an unconscious behavior may have different feedback.
"In this way." Li Jie thought for a while and said to Sha Dong, "Before and after our spring plowing, we have a large number of water conservancy projects to arrange. Wars must be fought, but we cannot just fight without construction. While organizing spring plowing, we must also build
Several schools.”
"this……"
Sha Dong hesitated, frowned slightly, and persuaded Li Jie, "Jun...Shou Li, the consumption of food and fodder to open the construction site is already staggering. If we open another school, we may not be able to support it."
"Think of a way. You still need a brand name. You can't just win over the nobles. You should know that."
"Why don't we have a meeting?"
"Any idea?"
"Let's work together to see if we can squeeze out some rations from somewhere. Shouli, even if the school is compared to the specifications of Huainan Xiangxu, a primary school will have a net loss for several consecutive years. We are in Handong, after all, we are not at all
Stable, now it’s just the Chu people who are afraid of the Han army. The number of Han people is too small. It will take time to turn the Chu people into Han people."
From Shadong's point of view, it is really not cost-effective to invest in schools now.
However, this is purely a judgment of short-term benefits. In fact, Shadong also knows very well that the school must be built, and this is a long-term benefit.
Judging from the number of primary schools in Huaizhong City alone, the minors and adult auditors alone can provide a good number of high-quality labor for the front-line positions in Huaizhong City every year.
Unlike those who are illiterate, teenagers who can recognize two to three hundred commonly used words are already extraordinary.
They can deal with basic fraud, and can easily identify directions in different places when they have reference objects, and they will not go down the wrong street and read the wrong house number.
Furthermore, they can even serve as handymen in the bureaucracy. They don't need to ask anyone where they can go and where they can't go, because they can understand the signs.
Or at the dock and port, they can easily understand how to use different utensils, the locations of categories, and the different methods of handling different commodities. These are all benefits brought by literacy.
Even Sha Dong himself can clearly recall his experiences when he was a chaotic savage.
It was Li Jie who taught them writing and rescued them from chaos and ignorance.
From then on, they were no longer ignorant savages, they had their own etiquette and their own morals.
And everything he has personally experienced can be replicated by those people in Chu who are also still in chaos and ignorance.
"What do you think if a school is opened specifically for girls?"
When Sha Dong was persuading, Li Jie also made a calculation in his mind. If he really opened a school, it would not be a matter of one or two schools.
There are many surrender factions in the Chu region, and there are even more speculators. As long as Li Jie's school is opened, these people will dare to organize hundreds of children to come to study.
The consumption of one day is unimaginable.
If the unemployed non-agricultural population in Chu District were just combatants, it would actually be fine.
But if you play like a virgin, there will be big problems.
This cannot be fooled by glass marbles. You must actually take out the food and feed it into other people's mouths.
Even if you don't provide food yourself and others bring their own dry food, the total food output of the entire region will not change much in one or two years.
We also have to be prepared for natural and man-made disasters. At this time, because of the war, it has a great destructive effect on agricultural production. A little improper control will make the Chu people go crazy with hunger. They always have to give it a try.
"Girls' school?"
When Sha Dong heard that Li Jie had changed his mind, he thought for a moment, "Your Majesty, will you open a school for girls?"
"No, a woman of marriageable age."
Li Jie thought for a while and asked Sha Dong, "Crocodile men, brave men, and unmarried people should find wives from this school. What do you think?"
