When Yuan Yao arrived at the gate of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, the soldiers had already gone to report him. After all, Yuan Yao had caused a great sensation in Yuzhou a few days ago, and the soldiers and officials in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion also remembered him and talked with him.
Unlike those who were cheering and accompanying him, Zhuge Liang remained as calm as ever. He just nodded and said that he understood. Not long after, Yuan Yao arrived outside the study.
"Master! Disciple Yuan Yao wants to see you!"
Standing at the door of the study, Yuan Yao said loudly.
"Come in."
Yuan Yao walked into the study room. Zhuge Liang was writing something. He raised his head and looked at Yuan Yao in front of him. Under the gaze of his master, Yuan Yao looked a little ashamed and quickly lowered his head. Zhuge Liang slowly frowned.
, his expression became serious, and asked: "Do you know your sin?"
Yuan Yao had never heard his master treat him so harshly. His heart trembled, and he quickly bowed his hands and said, "I admit my sin!"
"What crime?"
"Indulge in pleasure and not think about progress."
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "I'm not talking about this. You are eating and drinking at Yuan's house. Of course I can understand this."
"But why did you come to see me empty-handed? You had good food and drinks there, and didn't you think of bringing some back to me?"
Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Yuan Yao raised his head blankly and looked at Zhuge Liang, hmm? Is this still his master?
Zhuge Liang smiled and winked at him, but Yuan Yao was even more surprised. This was the first time he saw his master joking. Oh my God, it turns out that his master also knew what humor was!
"Sit down, don't stand there stupidly." Zhuge Liang waved, and Yuan Yao sat in front of him. Zhuge Liang looked at him and said gently: "I have to thank you these days, Yuzhou's
Everything went well, thanks to you." Zhuge Liang said, sorting out the many documents in front of him, and he was obviously in a good mood.
"Me? But I didn't do anything?"
Yuan Yao was confused, he always felt as if his master had changed.
"You don't know that these days, the governors from various places have been investigating the actual situation in Yuzhou, including the situation of aristocratic families. You have called all the heads of aristocratic families from various places to your side, leaving them without a leader. Therefore, this investigation has been carried out
It went very smoothly. It took me less than ten days to almost figure out the situation in Yuzhou."
Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Yuan Yao suddenly realized. He looked at his master blankly and asked: "Master, didn't you say that taking advantage of young children is a shameful act?"
"Well, I didn't take advantage of you, it was just a coincidence. Otherwise, why would I tell you the truth?"
"Okay, don't think about this anymore. Let me ask you, do you know why I am so anxious to find out the various situations in Yuzhou?" Finally, it was time to take the school exam, which Yuan Yao was most familiar with, and Yuan Yao clicked.
He nodded and said: "Master, if you want to rule Yuzhou, you must first understand Yuzhou."
"That's right. No matter what you want to do, whether it is leading troops or governing, you must be clear enough about what you are doing. I have seen several servants who have been servants for more than ten years, but
If you don’t know anything about horses, you leave all matters to your subordinates, and you are just taking advantage of the name. This kind of behavior is wrong. No matter what you do in the future, the first thing is to understand what you want to do.”
Zhuge Liang said, paused, and then continued: "These days, you don't need to read books and the like anymore. Follow me and learn how to govern. Books are just books. You can refer to them, but you can't believe them all. How on earth?
, you need to see it in person.”
"Here you go!"
Zhuge Liang placed the documents on the case in front of him. Yuan Yao stood behind him. The two of them looked at the documents. Zhuge Liang said: "It is said that Yizhou is a country of abundance. In fact, you see, Yuzhou is not bad. Yuzhou is famous for its beauty."
The state is blessed with mountains, rivers, hills, deep forests and rare trees, rivers and swamps, and plains and fertile fields. It is blessed with crisscrossing water systems and connected counties.”
The documents placed on the case were naturally about the various conditions of Yuzhou, including cultivated land, household registration, landforms, etc. The divisions were very detailed. As for the counties, Yuan Yao looked at them carefully. Zhuge Liang withdrew the case and directly spread these documents all over the place.
He lay on the ground, placed the documents in different places according to the geographical distribution, stood in the distance, and looked at "Yuzhou" in front of him.
"High in the west and low in the east," Zhuge Liang murmured, pointed at several areas, and said: "Counties such as Geyang County and Yang'an County that are close to the mountains can focus their main energy on iron smelting.
I plan to set up iron smelting plants in these marginal areas to carry out iron smelting on a large scale. According to the situation, there are a lot of minerals in these areas, which have been controlled by aristocratic families for a long time. Well, they are very suitable for the development of iron smelting and mining.
mine"
"Master, why are we digging so many minerals and smelting so much iron?"
"The ironization of farm tools and other daily necessities requires a large amount of iron. Even if Yuzhou can't use it up, it can be sold. In areas without minerals, I think they are still happy to buy them. This will promote Yuzhou.
economy, and even play a greater role in other aspects.”
Zhuge Liang said, looking at the documents on the ground, and then said: "In addition, in these plain areas in the east, farming should be fully developed. There are still a lot of wastelands that have not been cultivated. In addition, too much farmland has been abandoned by the family.
In the hands of Cao Situ, according to Cao Situ’s family hierarchy, a family that does not have enough level but has too much farmland will be in trouble now."
"Connecting these water systems, irrigation canals were formed in Runan, Qiao, Xiangcheng, Liangguo, and Ruyin."
Yuan Yao widened his eyes and looked at Zhuge Liang, who was pointing at various places in front of him and quickly coming up with corresponding development plans. Zhuge Liang was sometimes happy and sad, sometimes yelling, sometimes shaking his head and sighing. However, Yuan Yao was particularly envious of his kind.
The feeling of guiding the country, of course, he also carefully recorded what the master said. It is said that everyone has his own style of governance.
Yuan Yao has already felt Shijun's political style. He adapts measures to local conditions. This is Zhuge Liang's style. He never connects a state to develop together, but separates each state and makes different plans according to the conditions of each state.
, In fact, Zhuge Liang's plans for various places were very rough. He did not mention the development of smelting or the reclamation of farmland. As for how to do it, he did not mention it.
Yuan Yao wanted to ask several times, but he didn't know how to ask.
It wasn't until sunset that Zhuge Liang sat down and finished his work for the day. Yuan Yaofang asked cautiously: "Master, do we have to make these specific and detailed arrangements later?"
"Of course not. If I were the county magistrate of a place, then I should personally formulate all plans and implement them personally. If I were the prefect of a place, I should designate all policies and let the county magistrates follow my policies.
However, I am the shepherd of a state. I can make general plans and implement them in detail, but I have to leave them to the prefects. When I was young, I thought that it would be best to implement them myself. Later, I was mentored by a high official.
It was only after someone’s advice that I changed my mind.”
"If you do everything yourself, your subordinates will lose their enthusiasm for execution and will not be able to cultivate more talents. One person will not be able to do everything." Zhuge Liang asked with a smile: "You may not know that during the reign of Emperor Xiaoxian
There once was a Duke Cui. After he became a Situ, he did not interfere with anything and let everyone do what they wanted to do. It was during his time that the family and country prospered and the national treasury reached an unprecedented level of inventory.
Later, the conquest of Kushan"
Yuan Yao nodded blankly and asked: "Then Cao Situ's behavior is wrong?"
"It's not wrong. During Cao Situ's reign, didn't the temple make great breakthroughs in several aspects? It depends on the person."
"Master, who is that expert?"
"That master is none other than Duke She Jia, the current servant of the Taifu. This man has extraordinary talents, but he acts low-key and does not strive for fame and wealth. He is a man of noble morals. If you don't tell me, I have almost forgotten that such a person cannot
I have to submit a letter to the Prime Minister to recommend him to the Emperor." Zhuge Liang said, stroking his beard.
Yuan Yao smiled and shook his head.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I'm just thinking about how my lord, who has the same name as my master, manages politics."
"Zhongda??" Zhuge Liang smiled and said:
"He always has the same style in everything he does."
"Either"
Yanzhou, Chen Liuguo.
In the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, Sima Yi sat calmly. In front of him, there were two other people sitting. Both of them lowered their heads and did not dare to look up at Sima Yi. Sima Yi shook his head and said, "Oh, this won't work.
Ah, it is really embarrassing to take back farmland and still be beaten out."
Hearing Sima Yi's words, one of them immediately said: "Mr. Sima doesn't know, these people did not come out in person. They instigated the tenants and even the people, saying that we wanted to take back all the cultivated land. This led to the officials being injured. These
Ignorant and stupid people have taken away the cultivated land of those wealthy families, which was originally meant to be distributed to them, but they don't believe it and dare to hinder us. This is really annoying!"
"They simply don't take Zhou Mu seriously!"
Another person said this, but Sima Yi suddenly laughed.
"The official was injured?"
"yes."
"How many died and how many were injured?"
"Ah? Not dead, just two injured, slightly injured."
"What?? Twenty people died?? They were planning to rebel. They openly killed the temple officials. It's a big crime. It's a big crime. Come with me." Sima Yi said and stood up slowly. He had kept a low profile for so long after arriving in Yanzhou.
, finally got a chance, the two officials followed Sima Yi to the outside of the mansion in confusion. Outside the mansion, there were already many thieves standing, looking at Sima Yi solemnly.
"Take advantage of the thief's unpreparedness and set out quickly to capture the thief. Those who resist will be put to death."
"Here you go!"
"Either he would hold his ground and not make a move, but when he did, it would be swift and brutal, a fatal blow."
"Combining offense and defense, managing affairs in a stable manner."
