Yuan Yao was answering Zhuge Liang's questions fearfully.
"I think the reason why they all have different views is because they live in different worlds, so they have different views on the same thing. As for my personal view, I think that since the predecessors have expressed their opinions,
Then just write it down honestly and learn it, why bother to come up with new ideas? Why do you have to torment future generations of examinees when you have nothing to do??"
As Yuan Yao spoke, Zhuge Liang was unexpectedly lifeless. He nodded with a smile and said, "What you said makes sense, but the truth does not remain unchanged for thousands of years. In every life, someone will naturally put forward corresponding opinions.
For example, Gongyang's Theory of Three Worlds has undergone countless innovations from its inception to the present. The latest one is by your father, Yuan Zi... So, next, I will tell you about this Theory of Three Worlds...
.”
"Master! Look!!"
Yuan Yao pointed into the distance and suddenly exclaimed: "Master, look!"
Zhuge Liang, who was about to explain the theory of Gongyang III, stopped and turned around to look. In the distance, a huge group of people appeared. It could be seen that these people were local officials, wearing new official uniforms.
, leading a group of guards, were heading here. There were dozens of people, extremely large, and the people around them looked at them curiously.
Soon, they had arrived in front of Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang frowned and looked at these people. Speaking of which, he didn't like such a grand ostentation. Who is this prefect? It's not a good thing to go to a lot of trouble to welcome him. Zhuge Liang was thinking about the group.
However, the ministers had already bowed before them and shouted: "Greetings to Zhuge Yuzhou!" Zhuge Liang returned the salute to them, and Yuan Yao on the side also returned the salute to them in a decent manner.
At this time, those few people came forward, including old and young, all kinds of people. Only one person walked out and said with a smile: "Liu Fu, the prefect of Yingchuan County, named Yuanying, Prime Minister of Peiguo County."
"I'm here to pay my respects to Duke Zhuge..." This person was considered to be the older one among the people. Even though Zhuge Liang was a little dissatisfied, he just responded respectfully. After all, he was young at this age.
But the man turned his head, pointed at the people behind him, and said: "This person's name is Lu Qian, whose courtesy name is Zi Ke. He is from Rencheng and serves as the prefect of Lu County."
The man saluted Zhuge Liang solemnly and paid homage to him. His words and deeds had a military atmosphere. Zhuge Liang asked curiously: "Have you ever served in the army, Grand Administrator Lu?"
"My subordinate came from the Northern Army, but returned due to injuries, which made Duke Zhuge laugh."
"This man is called Du Shu, courtesy name Wu Bo, and is from Duling, Jingzhao. He is young and promising. He is the son of Guang Luxun Du Ji. He was an examiner in the seventh year of Xiping and served as the prefect of Chen County."
"This person's name is Fu Gu, whose courtesy name is Lanshi. He is from Niyang County, Beidi County, and serves as the prefect of Runan County."
After Liu Fu finished all the introductions, Zhuge Liang finally understood that this was not a big pomp created by a certain prefect to welcome him, but that all the prefects in Yuzhou came to pay homage to him. In this way, this pomp was still small.
Yes, Zhuge Liang chatted with these people and headed to Ancheng together, which was the administrative seat of Yuzhou.
"We have all been promoted here recently. We learned the news earlier that Duke Zhuge is coming. According to the ancient system, when the state pastor comes, the governors from various places should go to meet..." Liu Fu was old, but
He is not senile, but talks a lot. However, Zhuge Liang does not hate people who talk a lot, but is very happy. This person's words remind him of another person.
Finally getting a chance to speak, Zhuge Liang hurriedly asked: "How is the implementation of Yuzhou's new system?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhuge. After we arrived, we started to reorganize the system locally. Yuzhou was the second to complete the reorganization. The first one was Yanzhou. Why was Yanzhou faster than us? Because their state pastor had arrived.
Ah, who is Zhou Mu? Zhou Mu is none other than Sima Yi, who is as famous as Zhuge Gong. I heard that he was one of the ministers of the East Palace. By the way, were all the ministers of the East Palace at that time really promoted by Emperor Xiaoxian?"
Liu Fu asked doubtfully.
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment. This person's digression was quite serious. From the new system, he could even be related to Emperor Xiaoxian.
"Well, it was indeed Emperor Xiaoxian who did it..."
"How did Emperor Xiaoxian know the future talents of these people? It's really surprising. By the way, Emperor Xiaokang is the same. He has the same blood and can recognize people. By the way, I heard that Sun Quan is the best among the servants.
I know people, but I wonder how the Duke Taiwei is doing?"
"This...I..." Zhuge Liang looked at him for a moment, nodded without saying a word, looked at Du Shu aside, and asked: "Ahem, what other problems does Yuzhou have?"
The group of people chatted and finally arrived at Anseong.
All the way to the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, the original governor's office was now vacated and became Zhuge Liang's office. Zhuge Liang met with many officials here, and then led everyone to sit in the meeting hall, with Zhuge Liang sitting at the head seat.
The rest of the people sat on either side of him in order according to their age. Yuan Yao was a little tired, so he went to rest. Zhuge Liang was also very tired, but he couldn't rest yet.
It is a rare occasion for these prefects to get together. It is most appropriate to arrange some tasks while they are still there.
Zhuge Liang frowned, looked at everyone, and said: "The task now is to implement the ten-year plan. If you want to implement the plan, you must be familiar with Yuzhou. I think the first thing is to find out the details of Yuzhou."
Only when you have a thorough understanding of the place, including household registration, taxes, cultivated land, etc. can you implement major strategies. Moreover, you cannot be fooled and must be truthful."
"Zhuge Gong doesn't know something!" Lu Qian frowned, stood up and said: "The biggest problem in Yuzhou is the local aristocratic families. Yuzhou is different from other places. The aristocratic families here are truly powerful. There are two
There are countless first-class families, second-class and third-class families. For these wealthy families, it is common for them to hide their household registration, cultivate land, and even hide weapons privately."
"And their relationship with each other is complicated. All the local pavilions are their cronies. If they take action rashly, I'm afraid it will cause chaos in Yuzhou. Besides, these people can hardly find any evidence of crime, so they can't do it without reason. There are still people in the temple
With their backing, Shangshu Ling... Well, Zhuge Gong should understand that in short, everything in Yuzhou depends on the local wealthy families."
"To find out the true situation in Yuzhou, we must make the powerful local families bow their heads."
Lu Qian said, squinting his eyes and said: "After I arrived in Yuzhou, I reorganized a group of soldiers and did not send them away. If Zhuge Gong needs it... I can take them with me at any time..."
Zhuge Liang did not doubt this man's ability. A general who returned from the Northern Army and a group of farmers could easily defeat these powerful men. However, Zhuge Liang could not do anything unprovoked. He could not resist even the people in the temple.
It seems that this matter needs to be discussed carefully. Zhuge Liang said: "I have my own solution for this matter. You don't need to panic. Just go and understand the situation..."
"Your welcome!" Everyone's confidence greatly increased and they bowed their hands.
Zhuge Liang had a smile on his face, but he was not so relaxed in his heart. He had to deal with these people earlier. Otherwise, would it be ridiculous to have two state pastors in Yuzhou overtly and covertly? He could not live up to His Majesty's high expectations. These wealthy people...
.I still want to come up with a foolproof strategy.
While everyone was discussing, suddenly a guard came in in a panic and said: "Report to the state pastor!!"
Seeing the guards rushing in in panic, Liu Fu was speechless, but Lu Qian was particularly angry and said, "Why are you so panicked?"
"A lot of people came outside the mansion, very many. They blocked the door..." After hearing the soldiers' words, Lu Qian stood up and held the long sword at his waist. It was Zhuge Liang who said: "Lv Qian
Governor, please don't do this. Come with me, gentlemen, and go out and see who it is... The Prefecture and Shepherd's Office dares to block it, so why don't you give up your name?"
Everyone nodded and followed Zhuge Liang out of the mansion.
When Zhuge Liang took the lead to walk out of the mansion, he was indeed a little surprised. Outside the door was a dense crowd of people. These people were dressed in extraordinary clothes. There were various carriages and horses in the middle of the road. There were hundreds of people. However, they did not block the road.
The door was closed, but it was still some distance away from the door. These people were smiling and carrying various trays. They really didn't know what they wanted to do.
Seeing Zhuge Liang coming out, the leaders observed for a moment, then handed over their hands and bowed calmly: "Meet Zhuge Gong!"
Zhuge Liang looked at these people. They didn't seem to be here to cause trouble. Instead, they wanted to give gifts. Haha, do these people think they can bribe me? Or, this is a way for them to surrender. Zhuge Liang thought in his heart and calmed down towards them.
After returning the greeting slowly, he asked: "You guys are stuck here, what's the important matter?"
The leader said calmly: "We are not blocking the door. We are in the street, how can we be blocking the door?"
"Oh? Then why are you here?"
"We are here to meet someone."
"who?"
"Young Master of the Yuan family, Yao."
Zhuge Liang frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "Bring Yuan Yao out!" Suddenly, officials walked into the mansion. The prefects looked at these people with some displeasure. Prefect Lu said angrily: "These
They are just a few wealthy families in Yuzhou. It seems that they sincerely want to deal with Zhou Mu. It is a shame and a shame that they dare to come here. Why don't you let me take people and imprison them all..."
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Let's take a look."
At this time, a confused Yuan Yao complained and walked out. He was woken up when he was sleeping. Naturally, he was particularly dissatisfied. He yawned and came to Zhuge Liang and asked: "
Master, why are you calling me?"
At that moment, everyone on the street unanimously raised their hands and bowed to Yuan Yao.
"Let's meet the young master of the Yuan family!!!"
ps: I was cooking at home yesterday. I originally wanted to make roast lamb, but I ended up making roasted palms and my hands were burned...I feel better today, so I hurriedly started updating.
