Although the ministers were still discussing in the Chancery, the specific implementation plan was still completed in the Chancery. Zhuge Liang sat at the top of the Chancery, and the lower part was filled with servants from all parties, most of whom were young people. These people had just arrived.
The young people who arrived at the temple sat in their seats a little uneasily. This was their first time reporting progress in the Chancery. Zhuge Linggong, who had always been amiable, had a serious face, which made them even more nervous.
"Deng Pushe, regarding the promotion of those crops, you have a very good plan. I have helped you modify some of them. You can take a look first. If it is still suitable, you can implement it and try to implement it within this year.
, to expand another 8,000 acres of cultivated land outside the Great Wall. Although the environment outside the Great Wall is harsh, there are many livestock, and the excrement of these livestock can be used as fertilizer for these cultivated lands, so don’t delay the animal husbandry due to cultivated land. "
"Sincerely."
"Huang Pushe, animal husbandry is within your scope of responsibility. I think the breeding plan you proposed earlier is feasible. I think the types of war horses you have trained are very good. As for the cattle you mentioned, I think it is feasible.
I decided to give it a try. Horses can be used, but not cattle. In addition, sheep, chickens, ducks, pigs, etc. can also be properly bred... For example, there is a long-haired species in Beidi County.
Sheep are called Qiang sheep. It would be good if this type of sheep could be promoted to various places."
"There are also cattle. I heard that there are large-scale farming cattle in Liangyi. I wonder if they can be brought to the Central Plains..."
Zhuge Liang chatted with him seriously for a long time before looking at the next person.
"Sun Pushe!" Zhuge Liang frowned and said with some displeasure: "Why are there still vacancies for officials in various places? In addition, I saw many officials who were directly appointed by you to their hometown.
Have you forgotten the laws of the Han Dynasty? Make adjustments quickly and it must be completed within fifteen days without any mistakes!"
"Liu Pushe, the state treasury will provide more support to Bingzhou this year, and the government is planning to open three new mining areas here!"
Until the evening, there was only the last minister left in the Chancery. The last minister was Zuo Cheng of the Xingfu. The planned servant of the Xingfu to shoot Cao Pi was still on the way, so Zuo Cheng of the Xingfu came to Zhuge Liang.
After explaining many things, Zuo Cheng was exceptionally young, almost too young to be true. He was probably only in his early thirties. He was seven feet three inches tall, had beautiful eyebrows, and a handsome manner. He looked extraordinary.
This can also explain why Man Chong madly recommended this person to Zhuge Liang after he left, saying that he was a talented person in the Three Orders.
However, this was the first time Zhuge Liang saw this man. He looked at him carefully and found that he was a handsome man with a dignified appearance. However, Zhuge Liang was still very rude, "What's going on in the Xing Mansion? Mr. Man has not left yet."
In a few months, how come there are so many people petitioning to clear their grievances?" After hearing Zhuge Liang's inquiry, the young man said: "Returning to your Majesty, these people think that when Man Gong was in power, the sentences were excessive.
Seriously, I think my new servant has weak shooting power and I want to bully him."
"Oh? Then why don't you deal with it?"
"If your lord can use me as a servant, I can change their minds." The young man replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. As a Zuo Cheng, he did not have the power of a servant. How could he solve these matters?
Do you want him to come for a retrial?
Zhuge Liang didn't mean to embarrass the young man. He nodded, squinted his eyes and said, "Then let's wait until Cao Pushe comes." He said, and then asked: "Why, can we do this in Luoyang?"
Are you still used to it?"
"fine."
"Someday I will go to the palace to meet the emperor. As a relative, you must not be rude."
"Sincerely welcome!" The young man bowed and quickly walked out of the place. Zhuge Liang smiled. This young man is not bad. He was originally worried that after he left, many government orders in the temple would be mired in quagmire.
, could not move forward, but after promoting many young people, Zhuge Liang seemed to see hope again. The young man just now was only in his twenties, but he had already shown good talents.
He is called Yang Hu, nicknamed Uncle, and is from Nancheng County, Taishan County. This is one of the reasons why Zhuge Liang is close to him. In addition, his background is not small. His father, Yang Hu, was Zhuge Liang's classmate when he was studying at Menzi.
In addition, he also married Cai, the second daughter of the great Confucian Cai Yong... the sister of Empress Cai, and his Ye Ye was Yang Xu. The so-called allusion of Yang Xu hanging fish happened in his Ye Ye
on the body.
Perhaps because of his background, the officials in the temple had a lot of malice towards this young man because he was too young. You know, the temple promoted many young officials this time, but they were all around 30 or 40 years old. There were even some
Those who are around fifty years old are considered young in the temple, but Yang Hu cannot be considered young, he can only be considered young. However, Man Chong values him very much and believes that he is both civil and military and will definitely have a future.
A great achievement.
It was indeed a lot easier today, because there were ministers helping him to review memorials from various places, and even discuss state affairs. All he had to do was give a final nod. However, in the Chancery, the pressure of the Order did not seem to be relieved.
However, the improvement became even more burdensome. There were many ministers serving the Central Office. They issued a lot of decrees and required each government to implement them. During the implementation process, each government needed to report to the Chancellor. Zhuge Liang only
He can watch their progress one by one. Sometimes, he also needs to help solve problems in various governments.
And he was alone, and there was no extra manpower to help him in the Chancery. In the early morning, he had to go to the meeting hall. Without him, Pang Tongyi could not decide most things by himself. And at noon,
He will return to the Chancery and be busy with the specific implementation of the decrees in the Chancery. He also needs to serve as an intermediary. When several mansions work together, they always need a mediator.
As for returning to the mansion, he still has to stay in the study and help resolve matters related to each mansion. He is both the proposer, supervisor, and occasionally executor.
In the study, the lights flickered, flickering on and off, and Zhuge Liang's hand was writing quickly. This was a notice about the appointment and removal of officials from various places. Sun Quan gave him a lot of nominations, and he needed to find the most suitable candidate among these nominations.
, making appointments and removals is not a simple matter. Zhuge Liang wrote until midnight, and then he put down his pen tiredly, raised his head, and took a deep breath.
He will always think of the teachings of Duke Jia in the past. Duke Jia once told him that as a minister, you cannot do everything yourself. This is not good for yourself and others. You must know how to delegate power so that you can govern better. He also
He really wanted to do this, but the temple didn't seem to allow it. He obviously handed over the planned power to Pang Tong, but he still had to participate. It was clear that the executive power under his command was distributed to various mansions, but he still wanted to do it.
Supervise and formulate an implementation plan.
Zhuge Liang sometimes feels very surprised. He is obviously trying to delegate power, but why in the end, his things are getting more and more, not necessarily less?
If Mr. Jia was still here, maybe he could give me some advice...
Zhuge Liang was thinking about these questions and slowly raised his head. He suddenly discovered that today's moonlight was exceptionally beautiful. It was as white as jade. Zhuge Liang stood in the courtyard and looked at the beautiful full moon seriously. However, it was a pity.
A lot of red clouds soon floated around, covering most of the full moon. The full moon showed an unprecedented color, and Zhuge Liang was a little surprised.
However, he still remembered that he had not finished writing the document and should not indulge in admiring the moon. Zhuge Liang picked up the pen and ink and started writing quickly. After writing for a long time, he did not know how long it was, the piece of paper in front of him finally
is written all over.
"Well... this policy is implemented well, but with so many young people, won't the place be chaotic?" Jia Xu looked at his paperwork and asked with some confusion. Zhuge Liang shook his head with a smile.
"No, today's official schools are very complete. Children start attending school at the age of six. Even though they are only in their early twenties, they have read more books and know more knowledge than those who were over forty in the past.
In this way, each of them has received decades of education and enlightenment.”
"Even so, in terms of experience, you still have to rely on the veteran." Jia Xu said with emotion, stroking his long beard.
Just as Zhuge Liang was about to explain to him, Liu Mo, who was sitting by the river and warming himself by the fire not far away, shouted: "Don't say any more! Kong Ming! Come and eat fish! Hey, this Donghao fish, young people nowadays are like
I don’t know how to make it. This is our specialty. I think back then, when we were hunted down by the Korean thieves, we relied on these fish to survive. Now it’s better, Donghao people don’t like to eat Donghao.
I want to eat some fish like Yanzhou rice cakes, hey..."
As soon as Liu Mo opened his mouth, he couldn't stop. Zhuge Liang sat aside obediently and watched his master grilling the fish. Liu Mo was grilling the fish and muttering something in his mouth. Zhuge Liang sat aside with a silly smile and watched.
Looking at Master Jun, for some reason, he suddenly wanted to cry, but he didn't know why. Suddenly, Hua Xiong also sat in front of him, his eyes widened, staring at the grilled fish in front of him. Zhuge Liang was shocked and stood up hurriedly.
Greetings, "Greetings to Mr. Hua... hmm? What's wrong with your face??"
"Oh, it wasn't the old man Huangfusong who did it, don't mention it..." Hua Xiong waved his hand helplessly, then looked at Liu Mo, and asked: "Liu Gong, when will this fish be ready?"
ah?"
"Soon, soon."
Unknowingly, there were several people around who smelled the fragrance and sat around the grilled fish. Zhuge Liang paid homage to them one by one. He happened to see Xun Linggong. Zhuge Liang felt happy and asked hurriedly: "Xun Linggong, how have you been lately?"
The temple promotes several crops..."
"Hey, you don't ask me about this kind of thing, why don't you ask this person who is not good at agriculture?" Guo Jia on the side interrupted him rudely and said unhappily. As he was talking, Zhuge Liang suddenly felt a little irritable. He stood
He stood up and walked back and forth, "Kong Ming? What's wrong with you?"
"Master, I still have a lot of things to do. The most difficult thing is the digging of the canal and the mobilization of manpower and material resources. Alas, it is too difficult... No, I have to finish writing it today, Master.
Just wait for me for a moment..." Zhuge Liang said and continued to pick up the pen. He wrote for an unknown amount of time before he put down the pen again. He stood in the dormitory and took off his clothes tiredly. Princess Raoyang seemed to be awakened.
.
He raised his head and looked at Zhuge Liang in front of him.
"What's wrong? You have to rest so early today?"
"I've been busy until early morning...it's still early..."
"What early morning? Didn't you just go to the study?"
"Don't talk nonsense, but I'm so full today... By the way, I forgot to bring you some. Just now, Shijun, Hua Gong and I were eating grilled fish and Dongli fish, you know. ..."
Rao Yang was a little scared. She looked at her husband, who was standing in the shadows and couldn't see his face clearly, and said tremblingly: "Husband, don't scare me. It's been more than thirty years since your master passed away!"
The person in the shadow suddenly froze and kept his original appearance. When Rao Yang suddenly sat up, there was no one in front of him. Rao Yang burst into tears, jumped up from the bed, and ran towards the study. When Rao Yang rushed into the study, Zhuge Liang was lying on his desk. superior.
He rested his head on his arm and slept soundly. The blood flowing out of his mouth and nose gave off an unpleasant smell, and the blood dyed the documents in front of him red. He had already lost his life. Rao Yang saved him, and the desperate man Crying, the sound of crying echoed through the entire Zhuge Mansion.
In the courtyard, Zhuge Liang took the fish from his master and ate a piece of meat, with a smile on his face.
Just the next moment, two tears streaked across his face.
"Master...I don't know why...I feel so uncomfortable all of a sudden..."
"Deng Ai and the others... Rao Yang... Zhan'er... Yao'er... Guo'er..."
