Chapter 1321: Determining the World


Wang Can stretched out his hand, and a soldier immediately came over with old wine.

The two of them were talking and drinking.

By the end, Cao Cao was drunk.

Cao Cao's guards took Cao Cao away, and Wang Can also left under Dian Wei's protection and returned to the military camp.

Huang Zhong and other military leaders arrived and asked about the outcome of the negotiation between Wang Can and Cao Cao.

When they learned that Cao Cao had agreed to surrender, they all became excited.

The world is peaceful.

For them, this is a great achievement.

Everyone is looking forward to this day.

The next day, early morning.

The sun is shining, it’s another sunny day.

The golden sunshine shines on the city gate, decorating Yecheng in a golden color.

Wang Can led his army to station outside the gate of Yecheng and waited quietly.

Dian Wei stood behind Wang Can, his slightly dark cheeks slightly red, full of excitement.

"Crunch!"

The city gate opened and Cao Cao strode out.

At this time, Cao Cao was wearing ordinary clothes and no longer wearing a crown.

He took the military officials of Wei State out of the city, handed over the seal and ribbon of Wei State, and formally surrendered to Wang Can.

Wang Can took the seal and led the Shu army into the city.

Since then, the Wei state has been destroyed.

After Cao Cao surrendered to Wang Can, Wang Can made Cao Cao the Duke of Wei and allowed him to participate in government affairs.

But most of the time, Cao Cao stayed behind closed doors and was idle at home.

All the Cao family members resigned from office, and no one entered politics.

After all, they had been in opposition to the Shu Kingdom and were in an awkward situation, with no one really serving as an official.

The officials of the Wei State were all accepted by the Shu State, and their official positions were not reduced too much.

Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Sima Lang, Chen Qun, Liu Ye and other important officials of Cao Cao all became ministers of Shu.

After Wang Can unified the world, he began to vigorously rectify the world.

Time flies, three years into China.

This year, more than a year has passed since Wang Can brought peace to the world.

After the world was settled, although there were still rebels in some places and did not obey the orders of the imperial court, Wang Can's family was powerful enough to sweep the world.

Especially after years of war, people have peace of mind and are unwilling to bear the flames of war anymore.

If the people do not support it, the war cannot start.

The most important thing is that Wang Can is in charge of the world and has the most critical talents.

His subordinates include Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Chen Qun, Sima Lang, etc., and his generals include Dian Wei, Dian Man, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Xu Huang, Tai Shi Ci, Zhao Yun, etc., which is enough to quickly defeat the enemy.

Sweep the world and stabilize the situation.

In less than two years, the Kingdom of Shu has undergone earth-shaking changes.

During this period, under the leadership of Wang Can, papermaking achieved great development, and movable type printing was invented and promoted on a large scale.

Wang Can would not ignore the wisdom of the ancients.

After he made some suggestions, the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry studied it.

Nowadays, the newly developed paper not only has good texture, but also has more paper types, including bamboo paper made from bamboo, mulberry paper made from mulberry bark, and ordinary white paper made from straw.

The spread of paper has greatly reduced the cost of reading for scholars all over the world.

In particular, Wang Can built schools on a large scale in various places, allowing more children from poor families to study, resulting in the emergence of countless talents.

On this basis, Wang Can carried out the reform of the scientific examination.

It was no longer the conquest and examination in the Han Dynasty, but the examination and selection of the imperial examination.

In March of this year, the second imperial examination of Shu was held.

Compared with the rush of the first time and the various mistakes that appeared in the first time, the second scientific expedition formed a fixed pattern and process.

The officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs arranged everything in an orderly manner.

There are more talents emerging.

Wang Can traveled through time from later generations and knew that during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the existence of aristocratic families monopolized the world.

The late Han Dynasty was the formation stage of aristocratic families.

After all, the formation of clans is largely due to the rising cost of education.

Resources are concentrated in clans, making clans increasingly powerful and unable to exercise checks and balances.

Most of the scholars in this era came from famous families.

The collections of books in large families are all made of bamboo slips.

A collection of several thousand words requires a large number of bamboo slips.

In later generations, three or four hundred thousand words were not many, but in this era, this is simply an astronomical number because too many bamboo slips are needed to record it.

Wang Can took advantage of the popularity of paper to reduce the cost of studying, and then built schools in various places so that children from poor families could also study.

With the emergence of talented people, poor families can stand out, and the monopoly of aristocratic families can naturally be resolved.

Although, there are still famous families.

But at least it is impossible to produce the so-called Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, and it is impossible for such a large family to be born again.

Wang Can looked through the results of this scientific examination and looked at the main information, with a look of joy on his face.

Because of this scientific examination, countless talents were recruited to enter the court, and countless talents were distributed all over the world.

After Wang Can read it, he ordered: "Come, summon Cao Cao, Duke of Wei, into the palace."

"Here!"

The eunuch received the order and immediately went to deliver it.

Less than half an hour later, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall.

A young man in his forties and in high spirits, dressed in an official robe, strode in.

This person is clearly Cao Cao.

Although Cao Cao today is the Duke of Wei and a noble of the imperial court, he does not hold any official position with real power, only a false name.

After he surrendered to Wang Can, he was also recruited by Wang Can, hoping that he would truly join the court as an official, but Cao Cao refused.

After all, he has a special status.

Especially in these years, Cao Cao saw that the world was settled, and the Shu Kingdom was becoming more and more prosperous today.

He knew that Wang Can had done a good job, but he might not be able to do so well if he was in charge of the world.

Without the burden, Cao Cao became younger and more relaxed.

Cao Cao entered the palace and saluted: "My lord, Cao Cao, pays homage to your majesty."

Wang Can said: "Brother Meng De, there is no need to be polite."

Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has betrayed a humble minister.

How can your majesty, who is so powerful, call a humble minister like this?"

In the past, when he surrendered to Wang Can, Wang Can called him brother.

He could accept it, but now Wang Can is in charge of the world, and his prestige is Rilong, he didn't dare to let Wang Can call him that.

The most important thing is that he is unemployed at home.

Because of his sensitive identity, he does not want to be impeached by North Korean officials.

It is better to do less than to do more.

Wang Can smiled slightly and said: "Brother Meng De, I rule the world, but I have never forgotten the friendship between you and me in the past.

Although I am the emperor, you will always be my elder brother."

Cao Cao did not answer and changed the subject: "Your Majesty summoned the ministers, what are your orders?"

Wang Can handed the results of this scientific examination to Cao Cao and said: "With the construction of schools and the promotion of imperial examinations, more and more talents have emerged in Shu.

This year's imperial examinations have ended, and countless talents have entered the imperial court. , and countless talents have taken up posts in various places.”

Cao Cao read it again and was very surprised.

He even admired Wang Can's ingenious idea of ​​thinking of such an imperial examination method.

He praised: "Your Majesty controls martial arts, and all the heroes in the world are under your Majesty's control."

Wang Can suddenly laughed.

With the prosperity of the imperial examination, more and more talents in the world will come into his hands.

This is a true statement.

Wang Can changed the subject and said: "Brother Meng De, do you still remember what I said to you when I persuaded you to surrender?"

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

He clearly remembers what Wang Can said to him.

Wang Can once said that the world is huge and he will conquer farther places.

However, a year or two passed without Wang Can mentioning it, so Cao Cao naturally gave up his thoughts.

After all, Wang Can is the emperor.

He is just Wang Can's defeated general.

After surrendering to Wang Can, it is impossible to question Wang Can as the emperor.
