Chapter 0679 The Great Strategy for Treating Jing Jing
The next day, Zhuge Liang woke up slowly and endured a severe headache. Zhuge Liang sat on the bed, stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, hoping that the pain would ease. Zhuge Liang looked around. Apparently, he had returned to the governor's office.
He didn't even know how he got back to the mansion. He only remembered drinking with Jiang Wan, but he didn't know what happened after that. It seemed that he was too drunk.
Zhuge Liang thought, must he have lost his temper? If he had just arrived in Jingnan and let everyone see his joke, then what dignity could he have to restrain them? Zhuge Liang felt a little regretful, he would not have drank if he had known it.
He stood up slowly and walked out of the house, only to see Ma Liang arguing with Jiang Wan. Ma Liang looked very angry and almost jumped up, while Jiang Wan also looked at him coldly without giving in at all.
Seeing Zhuge Liang coming out, the two stopped arguing, walked over quickly, and met Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang asked them to get up, and then asked: "How long have I slept?" Ma Liang replied: "Zhuge Liang has already slept.
All day long." As he spoke, he glared at Jiang Wan angrily. In his opinion, this guy had bad intentions and got Duke Zhuge drunk, almost making him look embarrassed!
Jiang Wan also felt aggrieved. Zhuge Liang only drank four glasses of wine and became like that. Who knew that he had such a bad drinking ability? If he knew about it, he would not drink with him. Zhuge Liang smelled it again. Jiang Wan then
He replied: "Yesterday, Mr. Zhuge was drunk. I wanted you to rest in my house, but I didn't expect that Ma Liang was worried about me and insisted on taking Mr. Zhuge back to his house."
"Then me" Zhuge Liang looked at Ma Liang.
Ma Liang shook his head and said: "I escorted him personally. Zhuge Gong has been sleeping soundly in the carriage and has not been seen by outsiders."
Zhuge Liang was relieved, rubbed his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "I will never drink alcohol again. I have never had such a headache. Can you find some medicine for me?" Ma Liang nodded and immediately sent someone to get the medicine.
, Jiang Wan watched him leave, walked up and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhuge, Huang Junwei is here and waiting in the front yard. Do you want to meet him??", after hearing Jiang Wan's words
After asking, Zhuge Liang woke up. He had something important to do, and he had almost forgotten it!
"Of course I want to see you. Alas, have you kept him waiting for a long time? Drinking is a waste of time. Drinking is a waste of time!" Zhuge Liang said and hurriedly walked towards the front yard. Jiang Wan followed him. When they walked to the front yard
, Liu Min was chatting happily with Huang Gai. Seeing Zhuge Liang, Liu Min stood up quickly. Huang Gai was stunned for a moment, and he also stood up to pay his respects. Zhuge Liang quickly asked them to sit down, and he also sat down.
He looked at the veteran minister in front of him. Huang Gai looked indeed old, but he could still see that this man was by no means an ordinary person. Even though he was old, there was no rickets in his body. He was extremely strong.
The arms were as thick as his own legs. Sitting next to Liu Min, Liu Min, a young man, was not as good as him in terms of size. He looked more like a fierce general with piercing eyes.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Huang. I'm not very good at drinking. I drank some wine yesterday and I couldn't get up today. I kept Mr. Huang waiting for a long time." Zhuge Liang said. He didn't make excuses to fool him. Instead, he told the truth and apologized sincerely.
Huang Gai was still a little dissatisfied. He had agreed to meet the governor today, but he was kept waiting for so long. If Liu Min hadn't been there and was somewhat close to him, he would have left long ago.
However, listening to Zhuge Liang's sincere words, Huang Gai's dissatisfaction gradually dissipated. He smiled boldly and said, "It's okay, Lord Zhuge doesn't have to be like this." Zhuge Liang then smiled and talked to him again.
After chatting for a while and asking about the current military situation, Zhuge Liang also felt some admiration for this heroic veteran. Zhuge Liang suddenly asked: "I want to arrest those mediocre Jingzhou officials. What do Huang Gong think?
"
Huang Gai was stunned. After a moment, he nodded and said, "If there is an order, I will definitely obey it, but why does Zhuge Gong want to arrest them?"
"For Jingzhou, I want to replace a group of officials who can do practical things for Jingzhou. In this way, Huang Gong, I will write down the names of the people. Huang Gong will go and arrest them now. As for the emperor's order, I will report to your majesty. In addition, here is
Things must be done quickly and quickly. We cannot let them go or cause too much turmoil." After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Huang Gai nodded. Zhuge Liang took the pen and ink and began to write.
Everyone was a little shocked when they looked at the long list of names written by Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang quickly finished writing and handed it to Huang Gai himself, and then said: "Huang Gong can take people, so he will arrest them for the crime of inaction and put them all in the prison of Lingling County." After he finished speaking
, Huang Gai didn’t say anything more, nodded, took the list and left. Zhuge Liang smiled and left, and then looked at everyone. Jiang Wan, Liu Min, and Liu Xian in the distance all seemed
Somewhat shocked.
Zhuge Liang said: "It's time for me to write the second list. Please wait for a moment."
This second list naturally succeeded those who had come before. Zhuge Liang recalled the great talents who had come to serve in these days, and also thought about those candidates with good talents who had originally held official positions, and finally made a list, with Ma Liang, Jiang
Wan, Fei Yi, and Xiang Lang constituted the four governors. Logically speaking, this was wrong. Zhuge Liang did not have the power to directly appoint governors. He even could not let people from Jingzhou serve as governors.
However, Zhuge Liang had his own thoughts in his heart. He would not always be in Jingnan. Sooner or later, Jingzhou would welcome a capable minister to take over. At that time, most of these people might follow him to Luoyang.
Those who stay will also go to other places. If they sit here, they will not be afraid of what they will do due to their personal affairs. They can also train a group of capable ministers. This is the most important thing for Zhuge Liang.
of.
In addition, including some important positions, such as General Xiangtuntian, county magistrates of some important counties, and even county magistrates, he appointed people he trusted to fill them. Zhuge Liang did not spend too long.
The list has been drawn up.
As for Huang Gai, at this time, he had divided his soldiers into multiple groups and went to various counties. In name, it was to patrol against bandits. In fact, it was to capture people. On that day, Huang Gai personally took action and arrested them.
The Grand Administrator of Guiyang, the three county magistrates, and the rest, there were sixteen in total. At the same time, the soldiers lurking in various places also took action at the same time. This day should be the most frightening day for the officials in Jingnan.
Huang Gai chose to take action at night. Many officials were resting with their wives in their arms. They were caught by the tiger-like and wolf-like soldiers who rushed in and dragged away from the mansion. Some people cried out for help, and some confessed their crimes.
, cried and complained more, and still chose to reprimand these soldiers. Even if they were taken away, they still defended themselves and refused to admit their crimes. After another three days, all the guilty officials were caught in Lingling County.
Everyone under Zhuge Liang also gathered in the governor's mansion. Zhuge Liang bought a mansion and built the so-called governor's mansion.
Zhuge Liang was sitting on the main seat, listening to Huang Gai's report. Everyone sitting on both sides of him, listening to Huang Gai's words, felt a little scared in their hearts, but Zhuge Liang was exceptionally calm and indifferent. He smiled softly,
After saying good luck, Huang Gai sat down, then looked at everyone and said: "My lords, the great cause of Jingzhou must start with us!" Everyone was shocked, looked at Zhuge Liang, and stood up one after another.
, bowed to Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang then said: "First, I am going to reduce the taxes in Jingnan for three years. Second, I want to farm fields and reclaim mountains and forests. Third, this place is close to the water, suitable for fishing and developing fisheries. Fourth, there are many people here."
Linzi, I plan to release the mountain ban for one year and allow people to cut trees. Fifth, I want to develop official schools. Sixth, I want to build Chidao to connect with Jingbei. Seventh, I want to build a merchant post station."
Everyone listened attentively, and no one dared to refute. These decrees were all proposed by them during the discussion, and Zhuge Liang summarized them, and finally stated the sixteen strategies to control Jing, and immediately read out his instructions to them.
After being appointed, they were allowed to leave and go to various places to obey their own orders.
As soon as Zhuge Liang arrived in Jingzhou, he purged the local officials, even wooed the local wealthy families, and selected a group of capable people from among them to take up these vacated positions. Then he began a mighty campaign
Naturally, such a big news spread immediately about the big plan to control Jing. The first person to get the news was Sima Yi from northern Jing. Sima Yi was busy working on the canal. When he heard the report from his subordinates, he was a little confused.
What are you talking about??Zhuge Liang purged officials??And arranged to get close to him??
Did he do this??
Sima Yi couldn't believe it. He had been with Zhuge Liang for so long and he knew his character very well. Why did he suddenly change so much? Sima Yi was a little confused. He didn't know. He could only be envious of Zhuge Liang.
It will be easier to handle now. There is no resistance in the local area and the people are focused. I am afraid that Jingnan will be able to develop in a few years. Sima Yi knew in his heart that Zhuge Liang's talent was just lower than his own.
Sima Yi also wanted to do this, but he didn't dare. After all, he was not a relative. Although he was close to the emperor, he thought he was not as good as Zhuge Liang. If he could learn from him, he would clean up Jingbei.
, I'm afraid I have to go to Yuan Shang tomorrow. Alas, Sima Yi shook his head helplessly. However, fortunately, he wants to dig a canal here, and the benefits are definitely more than those in Jingnan. As long as he works a little harder,
Thinking about it, there is no problem in surpassing Zhuge Liang.
Therefore, Sima Yi, who was in the north of Jing, put forward eighteen strategies to control Jing based on Zhuge Liang's sixteen strategies to control Jing.
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he just smiled and proposed twenty strategies to control thorns.
Sima Yi subsequently improved his policy and proposed thirty-three strategies.
This time, Zhuge Liang did not follow suit, which gave Sima Yi a headache. There were too many policies and he could not implement them! Perhaps seeing Zhuge Liang's achievements, Sima Yi also looked for some local capable people, and even generals
Several of his younger brothers called over to help him. Although they did not give him an official position, they still played a certain role. Sima Yi then continued to implement his thirty-three strategies.
