Seeing Xiong Wuliang's face strange, Qu Yuan realized that he was smiling too brightly, so he quickly restrained his smile.

When he heard the news that Qu Yang Hou was attacked by local tyrants, Qu Yuan felt a deep ecstasy in his heart after a brief fear!

Qu Yuan also knows Xiong Wuliang's personality very well.

I didn’t know that the erosion at the grassroots level was fine before, but once I knew it, it would be impossible to swallow this anger easily.

However, if Xiong Wuliang wants to uproot all these greedy officials, he will definitely be afraid of them.

Isn't this going to make him angry?

Qu Yanghou felt agitation, and Qu Yuan’s chance came!

"These clans monopolize the local area and accept bribes... very abominable!" Qu Yuan said seriously: "If you want to be prosperous and strong for a long time, you must eliminate the ills of officials!"

Xiong Wuliang glanced at Qu Yuan and always felt that Qu Yuan had bad intentions.

"You have a way?" Xiong Wuliang asked.

Qu Yuan smiled and felt a little contented on his face: "I have two strategies, one is to treat the symptoms and the other is to treat the root cause... I wonder where the Lord will start?"

"Let's talk about the symptoms first!" Xiong Wuliang waved his hand.

Qu Yuan smiled slightly: "Those who treat symptoms are the way to stop boiling and strengthen management, encourage merchants to report, confiscate the income from extortion by detainees and add fines for classes."

"At the same time, if you want to get rid of the monopoly of these local tyrants over the administration of officials, you must cultivate grassroots officials by yourself. The lord can accommodate the orphans of soldiers and teach them to read and write. It doesn't take much knowledge. As long as you learn dozens or hundreds of words, you should be a grassroots minor official."

Xiong Wuliang's eyes lit up and he thought to himself that he is worthy of being you!

This strategy of "treatment of symptoms" alone is enough to make Xiong Wuliang cheer.

The confiscation of extorted money and fines will not stimulate those big families too much and cause them to resist in a comprehensive manner - but it can also effectively curb the trouble of grassroots officials making money in a short period of time.

Cultivating those soldiers and orphans to be minor officials can fundamentally avoid dependence on the big clan.

It can also save the soldiers from worries and encourage them to fight the enemy more bravely on the battlefield.

Of course, teaching these sergeant orphans to read and write is not a small expense - teaching venues and recruiting teachers... all costs money, and it costs a lot.

But for the unscrupulous young master, this money can be saved - there is a Huang Xie in our mansion who has nothing serious about doing and takes Xiao Hei and Xiaobai to class every day. By the way, two children have to teach, and two hundred children have to teach...

At this moment, Huang Xie in the mansion suddenly sneezes-

Huh? What's going on?

I feel someone wants to treat me like a donkey?

...

"Dare you ask the best strategy for 'cursoring the root cause'?" Xiong Wuliang looked at Qu Yuan with anticipation.

Qu Yuan thought for a moment, and suddenly changed his mind: "Master, do you know which country is the weakest country in today's local clan power?"

Xiong Wuliang was stunned.

Qu Yuan slowly spit out two words, asked and answered: "Qin State."

Qin State?

Qu Yuan explained in a deep voice: "Shang Yang's reform in Qin State said that 'If there are two men and more than two people, the tax will be doubled'; 'If the people are father and son and brothers are in the same room, it is a ban... It effectively controlled the development of local clans."

"Although Chu State is large, the upper class can use no more than 30% of the power... In the final analysis, it is the local tyrants and the nobles are too powerful!"

At this moment, Xiong Wuliang already understood what Qu Yuan wanted to say.

Sure enough, Qu Yuan said loudly: "The fundamental treatment is a strategy to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot - to implement reforms, to strengthen the stems and weak branches!"

"Master, although you cannot reform the entire Chu State now... but in your marquis, you can implement the new law of reforming the administration, abolishing slaves, and rewarding farming wars!" Qu Yuan said so.

Since Xiong Wuliang mentioned the theory that "the butt determines the head" to Qu Yuan last time, Qu Yuan has never persuaded Xiong Wuliang to reform.

Now that the old thing is being brought up again, Xiong Wuliang subconsciously wants to resist, but finds that he has no reason to resist...

In the past, Qu Yuan promoted the strong, the weak branch, and invited Xiong Wuliang to strive to promote reforms throughout the Chu country - the strong one was the King of Chu, and the weak one was the vassal of himself.

And now, in the Quyang Marquis Kingdom, the strong ones are themselves and the weak ones are others!

Xiong Wuliang fell into a brief silence.

Qu Yuan hit the railway while the heat was hot: "Please ask the monarch to submit his ministers to the important task, and Xu ministers preside over the reform plan. Qu Yuan will definitely follow the consequences!"

...

A few days later.

Xiong Wuliang appointed Qu Yuan, the former Grand Marshal of Chu, as Qu Yang Yin; Zhao Hua and Hu Cong were the deputy Yin.

The three of them gathered in Quyang County.

This personnel change attracted everyone's attention, but I didn't care much about it.

Before, except for Hu Cong who was a real magistrate of Ping'a County, Qu Yuan and Zhao Hua had been working for Xiong Wuliang in white and had no official position at all.

Now Xiong Wuliang is promoted to Marquis and begins to reward meritorious officials, which is a matter of course.

The first government order after Qu Yuan served as Qu Yangyin was the "Academic Order"!

A huge notice was posted at the city gate, and some people who recognized the words shook their heads and shared the words for everyone—

"Quyang Yin has ordered that the 'Quyang Academy' will be built from now on. The professor will read the text and make words... Boys aged eight to fifteen can sign up for the election. The food, clothing and expenses of the academy students will be borne by the Marquis' Mansion."

The farmers watching were in an uproar.

Teach to recognize words? Don’t have money?

An old farmer immediately tightened the hands of the young children around him, and looked excited: "Go and sign up quickly! You will definitely be able to choose!"

"Let's go, send this news back to the village!"

"The Lord is merciful!"

...

At the registration office of the academy, Qu Yuan stroked his beard with his hands. Seeing the popularity in front of him, he couldn't help but nodded secretly.

If the State of Chu wants to centralize power and break the dependence on local tribes, it must cultivate useful grassroots officials on its own.

After establishing the academy, within three to five years, a large number of officials who knew the words and were familiar with the "Chu Lu". Moreover, they were trained by Quyang Hou and must be very loyal to Xiong Wuliang.

If the academy becomes larger and larger - even comparable to the "Jixia Academy" in Qi State... then Quyang Hou will have a large number of loyal subordinates. If these students have outstanding abilities and are able to enter the court as officials, then the "Quyang Academy" can even influence the political situation of Chu State to a large extent.

If you don’t become the King of Chu then, Xiong Wuliang, who has no ambitions, will have the final say!

When Qu Yuan thought of this, he couldn't help but smile...

"Don't squeeze, come one by one!" Huang Xie's small body was submerged in the sea of ​​people and shouted pitifully.

The popularity of the academy exceeded everyone's expectations.

The people are not fools.

If there is a literati at home who knows the words and says, it will be like a ancestral tomb smoke coming from the blue!

In this era, as long as you recognize a few words, you will be a rare talent - at least you can be a low-level official. It is a huge benefit for ordinary people.

Even if you can't be a high-ranking official and be a accountant, you will earn much more than working hard in the fields!

Xiong Wuliang rushed over and saw the crowds of people in front of him, and everyone was stunned-
Chapter completed!
