Zhuge Liang stood aside with a smile on his face. Yuan Yao had never seen his master look so happy. Today, they came to get help from the temple. The carriages formed a long queue and drove slowly towards Ancheng.
Zhuge Liang stood aside and looked at these carriages. The carriages carried food, money, and some other supplies, all of which were given to Zhuge Liang to develop Yuzhou.
With these things in place, wanting to develop a place is no longer empty talk.
Many officials and people in Yuzhou were on both sides of the road to warmly receive these visitors from Luoyang. Zhuge Liang looked at this scene and said in a low voice: "Yao'er, do you know what to do in this first step?"
?”
"Should we start the construction of the mine?"
"No." Zhuge Liang shook his head and asked, "Think about it again?"
"That means reclaiming farmland?"
"Alas...", Zhuge Liang sighed and shook his head. At this time, Yuan Yao always felt helpless. He was very afraid of his master's shaking of his head, which always made him feel incompetent.
He smiled bitterly and said: "This disciple is stupid, I hope Master can tell me."
"If you want to show off your skills in Yuzhou and develop the place, that's just your own idea. To do this, you need the support of more people. The support in the temple is already there. The next step is naturally
Get the support of Yuzhou...", Zhuge Liang said, Yuan Yao suddenly realized, and then asked: "Master, do you mean to use this money to bribe the officials and people of Yuzhou?"
Zhuge Liang glanced at him and said: "Don't say these words in such an unpleasant way. Well, although it is unpleasant, it is true. If you want to develop Yuzhou, the first step is to get the support of the officials and people of Yuzhou."
"But, Father, even this much money is not enough to bribe... um... to bribe so many people?"
"The wording you use...use some good words in the future, such as getting support, getting help..."
"Here you go!"
Zhuge Liang looked at the cheering people in the distance and the excited officials, and said seriously: "Now, the officials and people of Yuzhou are very happy, but because the supplies from Luoyang have arrived, they feel that their lives will become better.
As for the officials, it is because they have the opportunity to show off their talents, so it is not difficult to obtain their support, and there is no need to even use the money."
"The reason why I asked the temple to send more carriages and horses is to make these hundreds of millions of money appear more amazing and enough to reassure the people."
Yuan Yao frowned, nodded, and said: "Master, I understand. In other words, the first step in governing is to get the support of as many people as possible, so that the subsequent implementation can be facilitated.
"
"good."
Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said: "I'll give you a task..."
"Just give your order!" Yuan Yao was a little excited. This was the first time that his master had brought him with him when he was governing. Zhuge Liang said calmly: "I want to hold a big banquet to entertain the officials arriving from Luoyang...
.The people are happy together. Well, you can go back to your hometown and write letters to the governors in various places in my name, saying that the supplies have arrived and they can start local governance. In addition..."
"Tell them that the Emperor will visit Yuzhou in the south in the future, and they must do a good job to show the Emperor their abilities."
Yuan Yao memorized it carefully. After listening to his master's words, he asked with some surprise: "The Emperor is coming to Yuzhou??"
"I have no idea."
"It turns out you lied to them!"
"..."
Yuan Yao quickly returned to the mansion, entered the study, took paper, pen and ink, and began to write. He wrote extremely carefully to avoid typos or irregularities. However, after writing several times, he still couldn't finish it in one go.
, there was always something that dissatisfied him, and after scrapping several pieces of paper, he reluctantly took out a piece of white paper and started writing.
He first made a draft and then continued writing.
This time, he finally finished writing each letter. Looking at his pen and ink, Yuan Yao smiled broadly. He hurried out of the study, looked at a personal attendant, and shouted: "Please write these letters for me."
Send it to the prefects in various places, and by the way, be quick! This is your master's order!" The personal attendant quickly bowed his head and said yes, took the letter and left here.
Yuan Yao also left the hospital and went to look for his master.
As soon as he left the courtyard, Yuan Yao was startled. The streets were densely packed with people. Yuan Yao's place was a little better. After all, no one dared to get too close to the State Shepherd's Mansion. There were two soldiers guarding the door.
But a few feet away, there were people carrying people. Everyone was carried by the crowd and walked forward. Yuan Yao stood aside in surprise, looking at the crowd, but did not dare to get close.
He looked at the guards on the side and asked, "Brother, what happened to them?"
"It is said that the emperor has favors... and they all go to receive the favors."
"What is the emperor's favor?" Yuan Yao was confused. When he looked into the distance, he still saw the situation clearly. Several officials from Luoyang stood on the carriage,
Coins were being thrown at the surrounding people. For a moment, young people jumped up one after another, hoping to get the money. Of course, there were not many copper coins, and such a fight could not be regarded as an act that lost the dignity of a scholar.
Because what they compete for is not money, but the favor of the emperor. It is said that the person who can get the money in the first time can get the blessing of the emperor.
Yuan Yao was looking at this grand scene blankly, listening to the cheers of the people, an arm suddenly was put on his shoulder, Yuan Yao was so frightened that he almost jumped up. When he turned around, he saw that it was Master, Yuan Yao.
Then he said helplessly: "Master, why do you walk without making a sound and are so mysterious??" Zhuge Liang ignored him, just looked at the crowd in the distance and asked: "Look, the people are very happy."
"Is this how my father gained the support of the people?"
"No, it's far from that simple. There are a lot of things that need to be done. However, the most important thing is to make them feel the tangible benefits. Just such a one-time excitement cannot keep them for several months.
enthusiasm..."
"Then how do you buy them off?"
"Well, of course it's the fastest way to benefit them. For example, renovate some damaged roads, cover some public gates, and build some resting places in the road. The faster the results, the better. That's the only way
, Only then can the common people feel the difference from the past, and they will be more supportive of the subsequent construction, mining, and reclamation, which all require the recruitment of a large number of common people. Without enthusiasm, it is difficult to complete."
As Zhuge Liang spoke, he lowered his head and couldn't help but smile when he saw Yuan Yao, who was frowning and forcibly holding back his words.
Although this boy is stupid, he is still willing to work hard.
Yuan Yao has been following Zhuge Liang. After seeing off these Luoyang visitors, Zhuge Liang started what he called small projects. He even assigned Yuan Yao as a supervisor. Originally, Yuan Yao should be happy.
But after knowing what he was specifically responsible for, he couldn't laugh. Yuzhou was renovating damaged roads, while Zhuge Liang was personally responsible for building the post station and observing the terrain of Yuzhou.
As for Yuan Yao, he is responsible for repairing the Han Dynasty!
Shufan is such a dirty place!
Normally, literati would not use this word easily because they think it is dirty. Even when they call Shangshun Fan "dressing", they try to use some less dirty words instead, but Yuan Yao cannot avoid it.
, Of course, the newly built Fufan does not smell bad because no one has used it yet, but Yuan Yao still feels very bitter.
I finally had some experiences that I could brag about, but in the end, I ended up being a feudal lord?
He could even think of the scene after he returned to Luoyang.
"I heard that you participated in the construction of Yuzhou. What did you do there?"
"Xiuhe Fan."
He couldn't say this.
However, no matter whether he begged or resisted, Zhuge Liang did not condone him. He only wanted to let him build the Shu Fan. Zhuge Liang also had his own reasons. Yuan Yao's dandy atmosphere was too strong, and he needed the stench of the Shu Fan to temper his.
The state of mind made him change his arrogance. Zhuge Liang told him that as long as it was convenient for the people, there was no distinction between high and low.
In the past, nobles like Cao Situ did not feel that the feudal vassal was dirty. They built temples on a large scale across the country and used them on farmland, which also made the streets clean and free of diseases. How can such merit be considered dirty?
What? Among the many things that Wang Situ did, the thing that I admire the most as a teacher is this thing about him. He told the people of the world what it means to be a capable minister in governing the world. Could it be you, Yuan Yaogui, and Situ Hu?
After hearing these words from Master Shijun, Yuan Yao also deeply realized his mistake. His mistake was that he should not think about arguing with Master Master, but should honestly handle Master Master's commission. What else could he say?
Let’s repair the feudal vassal!
Yuan Yao began to build the Huxuan domain from Ancheng generation. Of course, he was still young. He said he was a supervisor, but in fact he just watched the craftsmen build and watched the progress himself. In addition, he was responsible for communicating with local officials and powerful people.
Not only does he have the identity of a disciple of Zhou Mu, but he also has the identity of the Yuan family in Runan, which is very useful here. Hearing that the direct descendant of the Yuan family came here to establish a vassal in person, powerful people from all over the world responded.
For a time, the construction of the Shufan reached an unprecedented level. With powerful financial support, the building built by the Shufan was so spacious that one compartment could accommodate three people at the same time. The wood and stone were all of the highest quality.
Every pavilion has been built. At the same time, Hunfan's design is also clever. There are troughs underneath to facilitate the transportation of dirty things.
At the same time, Yuan Yao's reputation gradually spread among the people. The people knew that Zhuge Liang had a disciple, not only because of his Yuan family background, but also because he was extremely good at building a feudal vassal. Whenever the people were like this
Whenever the luxurious Hun feudal lord was at his convenience, he could not help but praise the Yuan family's legitimate son.
This cultivation is really good, you are worthy of being a disciple of Zhou Mu!
