These people discussed very intensely until night, and even wanted to talk by candlelight. However, Ma Liang said that Zhuge Liang had just returned and was tired, so he asked them to rest quickly and not to disturb Zhuge Liang again. Of course, Ma Liang would still
They all stayed. These are rare talents. Zhuge Liang did not want to let them go and let them rest. Ma Liang personally sent Zhuge Liang to rest.
While walking on the road, Ma Liang said seriously: "Master Zhuge, what about these people? Can they take on important responsibilities?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Yes, with them, I will know where to start." As Zhuge Liang said, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "The one named Jiang Wan? Why not?"
Are you here?" When he heard Jiang Wan's name, Ma Liang frowned and said unhappily: "Yesterday, Liu Min came in person to apologize for him. He said that Jiang Wan was very rude.
I'm lying, if Zhuge Gong doesn't come to invite him personally, he will never come out of the mountain."
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he just said "oh" and didn't say anything more. However, his heart was not so calm. Since he arrived in Jingnan, both the local officials and the children of the rich families have treated him extremely.
The officials are afraid of him, and the wealthy families respect him. After all, the Zhuge family is now also a wealthy family. In the selection last year, it became a second-class family, and the head of the family is Zhuge Liang.
Grading the wealthy families was one of Situ Gong's new policies. He used this false reputation to make the wealthy families become the storehouses of Jimintai. In these days, Liu Ba took a lot of food from the wealthy families' pockets to provide relief.
In fact, Liu Ba was indeed quite talented. With Situ Gong's new policies, he successively attracted more than a dozen disciples from wealthy families and entered Jimintai to hold official positions, thus tying up the wealthy families and squeezing their wealth.
Zhuge Liang's younger brother Zhuge Jun was also taken away by Liu Ba and given an official position, and Zhuge Liang did not object.
After the emergence of such a hierarchical system, the big families of the aristocratic families gradually divided into upper and lower styles, and they acted according to this grade. In the previous year, there were only two first-class big families, Yuan and Xun, and second-class big families.
There are Sima, Zhuge, Yang, Chen, and Cao, and the third-class big families include Sun, Wang, Cui, Lu, etc. According to this division method, there are only four families in Jingzhou: Cai, Kuai, Zhang, and Huang.
The third-class big family, and the rest are fourth- and fifth-class people.
When they met Zhuge Liang, who was the head of a second-class wealthy family, these people naturally did not dare to disobey him.
Today's Jiang Wan is also from a powerful background, but he is different. He actually asked Zhuge Liang to invite him to come out. Zhuge Liang's curiosity about this person became more and more serious. He wanted to meet this strange man in person. If he really
If he has talent, what if I invite him personally? Zhuge Liang thought to himself, and entered the study with Ma Liang. Ma Liang closed the door, sat in front of Zhuge Liang, and lit a candle.
"Zhuge Gong, what should we do next?" Ma Liang asked.
Although Ma Liang can give Zhuge Liang certain suggestions on governance, he mainly relies on Zhuge Liang's ideas. Regarding Zhuge Liang's idea of purging local officials, he really can't give too much advice. After all, he is just a
Just a prefect, Zhuge Liang frowned and said without any hesitation: "Are there any county soldiers in Lingling County?"
Ma Liang nodded and said seriously: "Lingling County is the only one in Jingnan. The rest of the counties rely on Lingling County because Lingling County is surrounded by water on three sides and is often troubled by water thieves. That's why Zhuge Gong is like this."
Do you want to??" Ma Liang felt a little uneasy. Zhuge Liang thought for a moment. The reason why Lingling County is so important is not only the superior environment here, but also the soldiers here.
In the entire Jingnan, there are only 1,300 soldiers in Lingling County. These people are real soldiers. Unlike Geng soldiers, they can cooperate with the Northern Army to kill the enemy. If you want to completely control Jingnan, you must control these soldiers.
Zhuge Liang asked again: "Who is commanding the soldiers in Lingling County?"
"He is a local veteran, called Huang Gai, who serves as a county lieutenant and commands this army."
"Oh? Huang Gai?? This name is quite strange. What is he like?" Zhuge Liang asked again.
"He is a rare general. He has defeated invading water thieves many times. He has submitted several reports and wanted to join the Northern and Southern Army as a soldier, but I have stopped him. After all, he is too old and close to me.
"Ma Liang said, Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up. It seems that this person is not bad. He thought for a moment and said: "The day after tomorrow, you ask Huang Junwei to come to see me secretly." Ma Liang nodded, but did not dare.
Ask more.
Ma Liang walked out of the study. Although he didn't ask any more questions, he still vaguely understood what Zhuge Liang meant. He originally thought that Zhuge Gong would report to the emperor, remove those officials, and then recommend these people, but now it seems that Zhuge Gong seems to have
Rather than stalling for time, could he directly use soldiers to arrest those officials? Ma Liang thought to himself, and shook his head in fear, no way, your Majesty would never allow a local official to arrest him privately like this.
Will you spare him?
In fact, Zhuge Liang really had this idea. He would first meet with Captain Huang to see if he could be trusted. If he could, he would directly send him to capture those mediocre people who were sitting in important positions.
Ministers who have not played any role are no different from those traitors who take bribes and bend the law. They are all harming the people. For such people, there is no need to waste time or be soft-hearted, just catch them!!
After all, Yuan Zi once taught that if you kill one traitor, you will harm thousands of people.
The next day, Zhuge Liang got up early and left the mansion directly without disturbing Ma Liang. He was going to find Jiang Wan.
Sitting in the carriage, Zhuge Liang closed his eyes and was still contemplating the next plan in his mind. The coachman was a local and knew Jiang Wan's mansion. It must be said that Jiang Wan's reputation in Jingzhou was indeed very great and famous.
Counties and counties are not empty words. It seems that there are many people visiting him on weekdays. Zhuge Liang thought to himself. After driving for a long time, the carriage left the county and came to a village.
Only then did Zhuge Liang realize that this Jiang Wan lived in the countryside.
The carriage stopped. Zhuge Liang got out of the carriage and looked at the "mansion" in front of him. He was shocked. This was not a mansion, but a small farmyard. There were many wooden fences outside the door. From inside the fence, you could still see a few
The chickens were looking for food. Zhuge Liang looked at these blankly. After a long time, he finally calmed down. He stepped forward, opened the door cautiously, and frightened the chickens to prevent them from running out.
A drunken man walked out of the house, looked at Zhuge Liang blankly, looked at him for a moment, bowed his hands, and then asked: "Who is Mr. Lang?"
"I'm Zhuge Liang!"
Jiang Wan was startled and looked at Zhuge Liang in front of him again. He did not expect that this man actually came to visit him in person. Jiang Wan walked forward with a smile and said: "Dear guest, distinguished guest, come, please sit down!"
Zhuge Liang nodded and sat down. He looked at his unique farmyard with a little nostalgia in his eyes. Jiang Wan sat in front of him. Then Zhuge Liang said: "Jiang Jun, you are very interested."
"Mr. Zhuge Liang, I like to raise some chickens, ducks and so on." Jiang Wan said with a smile. He was still a little drunk, but his words were clear and not gibberish. Zhuge Liang looked at the chicken in the distance,
Said: "You can't raise chickens like this. If you plant a vegetable garden at the door, the chickens will look for food by themselves. The chickens fed in this way will have the most delicious meat."
Jiang Wan was a little dazed. Why did this guy suddenly start talking about chickens and ducks?
Could it be that you came all the way to visit me just to tell me how to raise chickens???
Zhuge Liang, however, seriously talked about some professional knowledge about raising chickens, just like an old farmer. Jiang Wan listened blankly. After listening for a long time, he finally had a chance to speak. He asked: "Ahem, Mr. Zhuge is here.
Why are you looking for me?"
"Oh! I almost forgot." Zhuge Liang came back to his senses, coughed, and then said: "I came to Jingnan this time to change the situation here. I heard that Lang Jun has a great talent, so I came to see him.
Just to ask Mr. Jiang what he thinks."
Jiang Wan looked at Zhuge Liang in front of him and suddenly said: "Kill those mediocre people who are not doing business."
Zhuge Liang was shocked and looked at him. He was not as angry or scolded as Jiang Wan thought. Zhuge Liang just asked in confusion: "For what crime?"
"Hahaha, of course it's by inaction" Jiang Wan replied with a smile, but he was even more shocked than Zhuge Liang. He was just deliberately trying to scare him. Is this person really planning to do this? He would kill someone as soon as he came.
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "It's okay to catch him, but killing him is a bit excessive. How should I catch him?"
Jiang Wan already understood Zhuge Liang's thoughts. He said: "Look for the soldiers in Lingling County and capture them all at the same time without leaving any one behind. At the same time, we must find suitable candidates to take their positions. In addition, we must
The crimes of these people should be informed to the people. Finally, they can just go to the temple and tell them a few things. After Zhuge Gong catches them, the best choice is to reduce taxes to win the support of the people."
"The people don't care who is in power. What they think is who is good to them. As long as Zhuge Gong can take the lead in gaining the support of these people and have a group of close officials who can resolutely implement your decree, Jingnan University will
It is very easy to cure." Jiang Wan said seriously, Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed brightly, this person's idea coincided with his own!!
The two quickly became familiar with each other. Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wan were chatting with each other about their next plan, and they were very excited. If Ma Liang could help him in politics, then the man in front of him would be his adviser and could help him.
Planning some big things, it is indeed worthwhile to come and visit in person! Zhuge Liang thought to himself, the same is true for Jiang Wan. He rarely has the opportunity to chat so harmoniously with others!
The two of them were chatting, and Jiang Wan got some more drinks. Zhuge Liang, who seldom drank alcohol on weekdays, drank with Jiang Wan today.
Soon, the two of them roughly formulated their next action plan.
After drinking a few bottles of wine, Jiang Wan remained as usual, just a little tipsy, but did not lose his composure. He supported Zhuge Liang, who was drunk alone. Zhuge Liang was already very drunk. His ability to drink was very poor, but he drank a little too much today. He was drunk.
, lying on the case, kept shouting:
"I want to eat fish!! Let me go!! I want to eat fish!!"
He burst into tears.
ps: Qidian has organized a Glory Campaign event. I hope everyone can vote for Lao Lang. Thank you very much.
