I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Huo Guangding looked at Liu Tan for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Could it be that His Highness already thought of today?"

Liu Tan paused before saying, "No."

Huo Guang could tell from his expression that he was talking ironically.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say, so scheming?If His Royal Highness can use this word, why should he worry about it?

Plan ahead?But it's too early, isn't it?

It has been more than two years since Princess Danyang got married. At that time, Liu Tan didn't know where his fief would be. How could it be possible to lay it out so early?

The most important thing is that Huo Guang remembered that it was Liu Tan who was eager to become a fief at the beginning, and then His Majesty handed Shuofang to him in order to prevaricate him. At that time, everyone thought that as long as he was a normal person, he would definitely not really choose Shuofang as a fief. Who would have thought that Liu Tanshun got off the donkey?

It is uncontrollable for Liu Che to tease his son, and Liu Tan certainly cannot know about this one step ahead, and as the prince, the possibility of him taking the initiative to ask Shuofang as a fief is also zero.

The more Huo Guang thought about it, the more he felt that something mysterious and mysterious was manipulating it.

Seeing him in a daze, Liu Tan couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Huo Guang came back to his senses and asked: "Your Highness wants Princess Danyang to provide cattle?"

Liu Tan said, "I can buy it from her."

Huo Guang did some calculations and said, "Not enough time."

Not to mention how difficult it is to transport cattle, the distance from Dawusun to the northern border country is not short, and when those cattle arrive, the spring plowing will be over long ago.

Liu Tan said: "Don't count on it this year. Now it is mainly to push plows in the north, and the plows that need to use cattle need to be customized for the time being."

Huo Guang asked, "What price does Your Highness plan to set?"

Liu Tan rubbed his chin and said, "Add five baht to the cost. You can handle it yourself. You can go to Gong Shucan later. This time, you have to assign people to him, right?"

Huo Guang had been busy before and couldn't spare time. Of course, the most important thing was that Liu Tan knew that he didn't agree with his behavior of casually handing over to officials like this, but Liu Tan did it out of the ordinary.

For Gong Shucan, Huo Guang was in a situation where he didn't pay much attention to it and would not deliberately embarrass him.

Liu Tan didn't urge him these days, he knew that as long as Gong Shucan made achievements, Huo Guang would pay attention to him.

After hearing this, Huo Guang said seriously: "I will arrange this matter as soon as possible."

Liu Tan put his hands on his chin and said, "Huo Xiang, as the Prime Minister, you should have the most basic trust in your princes and kings. Am I a random person?"

Huo Guang looked at him with a smile and said, "Yes, this time it's my fault. I will apologize to Your Highness."

Liu Tan shook his head and said, "There's no need to make an apology. It just so happens that I have something for you to do."

Huo Guang asked, "What?"

"The school should be starting soon. You go to serve as a temporary sacrifice, and then assign a task to the students."

Huo Guang has been following up on this matter. After all, it is related to the successors of the northern border country. He has been paying attention to the academy, and after the new year, those students have returned to the academy one after another.

Huo Guang asked a little strangely: "What tasks can these students do?"

Liu Tan said: "Give them a task to record all the characters, not only the shape of the characters, but also the meaning of the characters."

Huo Guang was taken aback after hearing this: "What does Your Highness want this for? Isn't there an enlightenment book on this?"

Liu Tan waved his hand: "Not enough, how many characters are involved in the enlightenment book? There are still many rare words to be included. In the process, they also try to collect books as much as possible. The collected books can be exchanged for credits when they are handed over to Zangshuge."

How can enlightenment books compare with dictionaries?

Huo Guang suddenly heard a new term, and couldn't help asking: "What are credits?"

Liu Tan said: "Take it as the currency used in the school. They study for two years. After the last assessment two years later, those with enough credits will be graduated, and those with insufficient credits will be sent home. "

Huo Guang's mouth twitched after hearing this: "Go home? Isn't that too cheap for them? His Highness tried his best to find a teacher for them. They eat delicious food and don't charge for it. Under such circumstances, they hang out in the palace. If you can leave in two years, what kind of place is a school?"

Liu Tan thinks about it, and it seems to be the same. His school does not charge tuition fees, and they all go to his warehouse.

There is no way, given the state of the treasury of the Northern Border Kingdom, it is impossible to afford such a school, and it is not a taboo for princes and kings to run schools. Many princes and kings will do it, but those princes and kings are just to attract people to play with them Talent, or for the sake of support, there seems to be no one like Liu Tan who really pays attention to teaching.

Liu Tan asked, "Then what do you think?"

Huo Guang pondered for a while and said: "If a person fails to pass two years of study, he will be deprived of the title of tribute, punished as an official for three years, and will not be allowed to take the imperial examination within five years."

After hearing this, Liu Tan couldn't help but gasped: "This is...too heavy, isn't it?"

Although petty officials can be regarded as civil servants in this era, their status is really not very high. Of course, they are definitely better than ordinary people, but it is basically impossible to start a serious career as a petty official.

Unless, like Zhu Maichen back then, he had great talent and embraced the thighs of his fellow countrymen, then he could be mixed up from a junior official to Jiuqing.

But how many Zhu Maichens are there in this world?

If it was really so common, Zhu Maichen would not be so famous.

I was admitted to the Gongshi, but I became a minor official because of my unqualified studies, and I will not be able to take the imperial examination for another five years. How many five years can a person have in his life?

Huo Guang said with a serious face: "Your Highness, don't be soft-hearted. If you are not strict, how can it act as a deterrent?"

Liu Tan didn't refute. Huo Guang is more experienced in this kind of thing. He can do whatever he says, and strict entry and strict exit are also very good. After all, he spent so much money, if he can't even train a qualified graduate, He also feels heartbroken.

"Okay, you can deal with this matter. Anyway, this task can be assigned. I have to do other things next."

Huo Guang moved his ears, looked at Liu Tan vigilantly and asked, "What is Your Highness going to do?"

Generally, Liu Tan would not announce in advance when he was messing around, but once he said what he was going to do, it proved that this matter was definitely not a small matter!

Liu Tan said: "I looked at the records of previous years. Although there is little rainfall here, there is a period of frequent rainfall every year. Counting the days is about the same?"

Huo Guang understood: "Your Highness is worried about the diversion of the Yellow River?"

Liu Tan replied: "Yes and no, the main reason is that I want to take advantage of the spring of the earth now and it's not the season for farming, so I can fix some of the canals first. Hey, I was thinking of digging them in winter. Who would have thought of this?" The ground is so frozen that it is possible to dig one now."

Huo Guang said: "In this case, it is necessary to choose a place with medium-sized fields and far away from the water source as the first choice."

Good land means that there are enough water resources, otherwise it is impossible to produce a lot of food, and inferior land is not worth wasting time.

Liu Tan nodded and said, "That's it. Speaking of which, Xu Lin has been raised for so long, how is his body doing? It's time to loosen up and let me work?"
