The Guo family manor is its basic base, and the Cao family and the Xiahou family may also become the basic base.

So he had to use the next few years to develop the Guo Manor, so that the Guo family's power could take root in Peiguo, and build his own territory with this as the core.

In the future, when the princes attacked Dong, he could also become a member of the military power he had trained and the economic power of Pei.

As for other aspects, he also made some ideas and measures.

There were many soldiers in the army who were injured on the battlefield but were not killed in battle, but were still injured on the kind of soldiers who could not continue to fight on the battlefield.

For example, soldiers such as broken fingers, broken hand, broken leg, etc.

They cannot continue to go to the battlefield, and it makes no sense to stay in the military camp, but Guo Peng cannot abandon them.

Cheng Li advised Guo Peng not to stick to small matters, so that the burden in the army and his own burden will increase, and he must dare to give up the useless people.

But Guo Peng thought carefully and found that they were not useless people.

It’s okay now, but in the future, the world will be in chaos and after you occupy one side and become a prince, you will inevitably face the problem of governing the local area.

Generally speaking, warlords from powerful backgrounds find it difficult to have enough teams of literati and poets to manage the local area.

We still have to rely on the literate gentry and powerful children to govern the local area, divide the power to give them in exchange for their effectiveness, which is why they are fearless.

Local political power is controlled by them, and a considerable number of interests are also controlled.

When warlords master strong force, they can still shock them. Once warlords decline, they cannot shock them, and they will face the worries of overturning.

For example, the dispute between Cao Wei and Sima family was a chain reaction caused by the decline and collapse of the Cao family's basic foundation. The Cao Wei family was not as powerful as Cao Cao's, and could not intimidate the gentry.

For a long time, the emperor had to divide his power to the powerful gentry in order to control the world. However, the dispute between local power and central authority arose was very serious. The central government could not control much of the population, and the population was divided by local gentry. The central government could not collect taxes and became increasingly weak.

The Eastern Han Dynasty is a typical representative, and Guo Peng's own family is also devouring the flesh and blood of the Eastern Han court to strengthen himself.

Is there any meaning of such a government?

Guo Peng took advantage of such a loophole. In the future, he took charge of the party and of course he did not want such a thing to happen.

But without the imperial examinations and insufficient literacy population and talents, if you don’t compromise with the gentry, what can you use to govern the place?

Local governments cannot be managed by just a few strategists or prefects. What is needed is a large number of low-level bureaucrats such as county magistrates, swords, literati and law officials. These people must be literate and have relevant skills to maintain local development.

If such a person cannot be brought out by himself, he has to give it to the gentry and powerful people, and they provide their children with them to master it. In this case, how can they be at ease?

Guo Peng thought for several nights and then came to a conclusion.

You must have the ability and preparation to cultivate talents. You must prepare for some things in advance and you cannot wait until the matter is over.

Is it easy to deal with the powerful regimes supported by the gentry and powerful people to protect the interests of the powerful people and to wait until the empire is established before taking action against the powerful people for their own interests?

Liu Xiu can be regarded as the emperor of luck in the plane. He took the world like playing, but after becoming the emperor, he also wanted to collect power and restore the previous dynasty's household registration. However, in the face of strong resistance from the gentry's powerful people, his land reform failed.

From then on, the fate of the Eastern Han Empire was determined.

This is a negative textbook with a very symbolic meaning.

People who cannot go to the battlefield may not be unable to do other things. If they abandon them, they will shake people's hearts and lose their foundation to maintain the army. If they make good use of it, they can kill two birds with one stone.

Guo Peng decided to send these people who had lost their ability to go to the battlefield to the Guo Manor in Qiao County and do something within his ability.

And asked Guo Jin and Guo Tu to arrange to teach them how to read, and then Guo Peng would compile some simple herder knowledge learned from Lu Zhi and teach them bit by bit.

There is no need for high talents, as long as they can be competent for the position of minor officials.

Understand some knowledge of farming, some knowledge of water conservancy, some knowledge of handling family conflicts and disputes, some trivial matters, some basic ability of mathematical operations, etc.

Cultivate them into a team of grassroots administrative cadres.

Just use Guo’s Manor as an experiment to accumulate experience.

High talents cannot be cultivated by themselves, but a group of literate people who can be stingy officials can still be cultivated. They are reborn with their own favors and will implement their will to the grassroots level of the local area.

Under the premise of chaos in the world, many places will suffer wars, the original powerful landlords will either be killed, injured or fled, a large number of land and manors will be deserted, and a large number of people will die. In this way, a large amount of unowned land will inevitably be added.

Recruiting refugees to cultivate land, rebuild their homes, administrative villages, and townships, establish grassroots administrative units directly responsible for the officials arranged by themselves, and creating a warlord force with strong mobilization may become a good choice.

In times of chaos, warlords fight against the economic and population potential of their own territory, and a warlord with strong mobilization can develop this potential to the extreme.

Guo Peng didn't just think, but immediately arranged to do it immediately, and immediately started practice. The county magistrate, the prefect and governor could not train it, and the minor officials who could do some small things could still be trained.

Guo Peng did not tell Cheng Li about his idea, but insisted that he could not abandon those who had lost the ability to continue on the battlefield for his own struggle. If he abandoned them and someone abandoned him in the future, he would have nothing to say.

They were hurt for their own merits. If they gave up on them after they received merits, wouldn’t they be ungrateful?

"A general succeeds and thousands of bones are bleak. Mr. Guo does not have advanced talents and skills, but he will never do ungrateful things! As long as I have a bite of food, I will not starve them!"

Guo Peng was determined to send the injured soldiers and their families to the Guo Manor to arrange things to support them to ensure that they did not starve to death. Such things quickly spread throughout the military camp.

The soldiers in the army were greatly shocked and were quite moved by this matter.

Many injured soldiers who were unable to fight came to Guo Peng together, knelt in front of Guo Peng and cried bitterly, assuring Guo Peng that he would follow him for life.

As long as he has something to do, it doesn't matter even if he dies. The children at home will continue to follow Guo Peng to serve him.

"Mr. Guo cannot lead you to achieve success in succession. At least, you cannot leave you with nothing to rely on."
