Let’s briefly describe the four dangerous fortresses in Longyou.
Jiang Wei bowed his hand to Zheng Pu again and said with a smile and humility, "I lied about Zheng's plan to join the army. If there is anything wrong with it, he actually joined the army."
Zheng Pu returned the favor with a gurgling smile, "Bo Yue's words hit the mark, is there anything wrong with that?"
On the other hand, Guan Xing, who was at the side because he had been around the prime minister in recent days, was already quite familiar with Jiang Wei, so he spoke politely about the relationship between the two of them, "Bo Yue is not too polite, Zi Jin is a man who wholeheartedly supports the country, and shares the country's affairs with each other."
He had absolutely no words to criticize."
After saying this, he first bowed to the Prime Minister, then looked at Xiang Lang and said, "Xiang Changshi, I have been assisting in dispatching matters in the army recently. Therefore, I also know that there are many armors, swordsmen, swordsmen and other equipment in the Longyou department today.
The balance. As long as there is no grain transfer in Bashu and Shu, and we are just defending against the incoming Wei attack, we don't need to worry about insufficient military resources."
"good!"
Hearing this, Xiang Lang nodded repeatedly, stroked his beard and smiled, "That's so good! That's so good!"
He had no objections. Yao Min, who was second in the seat, did not wait for the prime minister to urge him to speak, and continued to ask, "I have nothing to say about Zijin's policy. It is just a matter of 'national business' that needs to be cautious. With Shu brocade objects
Population, if it spreads out, it may damage the integrity of our great people."
"Yao Peng's concerns are the best words of gold and jade!"
Nodding slightly, Zheng Pu said with a smile, "I was so eager to write the book that I didn't think carefully about it. Now Yao Peng reminded me not to pick it up. For example, my mother's uncle, for generations in the family, traveled to Wenshan County to do business in pursuit of profit.
If the Prime Minister agrees, I can ask my uncle to take the Nanzhong Trade Road and do this on his behalf."
"Zijin's heart for the country is not limited to her family!"
After Zheng Pu finished speaking, before Yao Min could speak, the prime minister in charge sighed.
Yiran waved his hand and said, "I will make my own decision on this matter. Zijin does not need to tell his family."
"promise."
He quickly raised his hand and Zheng Pu responded respectfully.
Immediately, he turned his attention to Zhuge Qiao, who was sitting at the bottom on the right, and waited patiently for him to see if he had any doubts.
"Haha~~~"
Zhuge Qiao saw Zheng Pu paying attention and knew what was being discussed when he walked into the hall. He smiled sternly and said, "Zheng Jun, I have a doubt. Just now, Zheng Jun said that there are three strategies to 'consolidate the foundation of Yizhou'. Why do I just talk about it now?"
The third evil?"
Well.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Pu's face froze slightly and he had no words to reply for a moment.
When the Prime Minister's Office Chief Shi Xianglang heard this, he lowered his eyebrows and looked at the old god. Yao Min's eyes flashed vaguely, but he remained silent. Even Wang Shan, the reporter who was behind the Prime Minister,
, the hand holding the pen shook slightly.
The meeting hall where Yan Yan had just been talking and laughing suddenly fell silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
"Duh, duh, duh"
A sound of tapping fingers on the table came from above the main table.
I saw the Prime Minister lowering his head and looking at the cloth on the table. His voice was calm and he said, "I have made a conclusion on the third strategy of Zijin to 'consolidate the foundation of Yizhou', and it is not part of today's discussion. If Bo Song has any doubts, he can wait for it."
When you have free time, you can ask Zijin yourself."
"promise."
Zhuge Qiao was also shocked, and he quickly responded.
When his eyes met, Guan Xing, who had always been friends with him, looked like a smile but not a smile, he realized something in his heart.
Don't discuss with everyone.
The third thing Zheng Pu said was probably aimed at the powerful wealthy people in Yizhou.
"Since you all have no objection to Zijin's policy, I won't make any further comment."
After a while, the prime minister made the final decision and told Yao and Yao, "After Juda returns, let's start to sort out the priorities of this strategy. Zixu, Juda is also in charge of the trivial affairs of Tianshui, and is incapable of doing anything else. You can help me when you are here."
Work harder."
"promise."
Xiang Yao and the others heard the words and quickly agreed.
The Prime Minister nodded slightly and moved the cloth on the table with one hand.
After finishing the review, he said aloud, "Zijin's strategy of 'picking up lost items' has more advantages than disadvantages and is feasible. The theory of 'changing customs and changing customs' should not be taken too hastily. Let's wait until Longyou is stable before implementing it. As for 'seizing'
"The human heart's theory."
At this point, the Prime Minister paused, stroking his beard with one hand, frowning, and fell into deep thought.
When he was young, Fang laughed faintly and said, "That's all, just follow Zijin's words. I will send someone to transfer Qiao Yunnan to Longyou, and Zijin can say so in private."
Of course.
Zheng Pu’s advice does not stop at “consolidating the foundation and benefiting the state”.
For example, one of the strategies for "recruiting relics" is to ask the court to set up a "recruiting museum".
Because when Zheng Pu returned to Hanzhong this time, he saw that the "tube cart" mentioned earlier had been built by the craftsman and put into use, and the effect of water diversion and irrigation was quite good.
And we can also see the containment effect of the "Yuanrong Crossbow" on the Wei army.
Zheng Pu, who had no family distinction, had something on his mind, and with the idea of pooling his wisdom, he asked the prime minister to issue a "recruitment order" to the common people of Li in the name of the Han Dynasty.
Anyone who has a skill that can benefit the country can be given the official title of "Neng".
Taking food from the court and salary as incentives, let them perform their respective duties for the country.
For example, those who are good at herding horses can be called "herding people"; those who are good at raising silkworms can be called "silkworm people", and so on.
Secondly, set up "Zucai Museum" again.
Regardless of origin, regardless of family background, those who may have the talent to govern the herdsmen, or those who come from a poor family and have no official career, can be awarded an official position after passing the examination and become a minister of the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, the strategy of collecting relics is not limited to Bashu.
Instead, he sent his spies to spread the word in the areas under Wei Wei's rule in a large-scale campaign, thereby negating the advantages gained by others.
After all, the current Wei Dynasty has implemented the "nine-level Zhongzheng system", and the talents and scholars have been limited by their family status.
If countless talented people from humble backgrounds wanted to serve in official positions under the Wei Dynasty, they could only choose to invite their names to the world and wait for official recruitment, or they could recommend themselves as disciples to various wealthy and powerful families.
If the news that the Han Dynasty was using talents in any way spread to Niwei, more or less people would come from thousands of miles to follow.
Shine one's family name and display one's talents and knowledge. This is nothing more than the pursuit of educated people.
Naturally, this strategy also has its drawbacks.
If Ni Wei learns about it, he will definitely use "Jian".
If someone is chosen and sent here, he is obviously a talented person, but secretly he is acting as a spy.
However, given the current pragmatic level of government administration in the Han Dynasty, the Prime Minister did not have much to worry about.
The petty spies' behavior will not touch the secrets of the Han Dynasty, and it will not cause any harm if they are sent by Wei Wei.
At most, people will keep a close eye on them, and if the matter is exposed, they will cut off their heads with a knife.
If the Prime Minister is as generous as "Zheng Guoqu", the Prime Minister is confident that no one in the Wei Dynasty can deceive him.
No matter what, this policy can have an impact on Ni Wei's employment system and cause undercurrents such as the poor families under Ni Wei's rule.
For the Han Dynasty, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Secondly, Zheng Pu's strategy of "changing customs and customs" was aimed at educating the barbarians from the south and the Qiang and Di from the northwest who migrated to Shu and Hanzhong.
For example, among the barbarians in the south, their customs are fond of ghosts and witches, and many people are buried with hanging coffins. When encountering problems, they always follow the advice of the elder witches and so on.
Zheng Pu then thought of following the imperial court's customary management of "three elders" in villages and towns, supplementing their salaries, setting up elementary school in the villages, vigorously promoting Han family etiquette, and allowing them to assimilate into the Han family from the next generation.
son.
The northwest Qiang and Di are from the same source.
"Zhuangzi" says: "When the Qiang people die, they burn their ashes."
"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals: Yishang" says: "The people of the Di and Qiang are captives. They don't worry about their ties, but they worry about their death and don't burn them."
His common death was burned, his death in battle was an honor, and his death from illness was unknown.
For example, when Marquis Pingshou of the Han Dynasty was appointed as the captain to protect the Qiang, there was a saying that "the Qiang and Hu people died of shameful illness. Whenever they were sick and in trouble, they would often stab themselves with a knife. When they heard that those who were troubled and sick, they would often tie them up and not use weapons.
He was cured by medicine, and the person who was cured was not the same, and everyone, small and large, was pleased with it."
To this day, among the Qiang people tribe in the northwest, there are many people who are sick and stab themselves with a knife.
Therefore, Zheng Pu suggested to imitate Deng Xun's good governance and seek doctors from Bashu and come to Longyou to open a medical house to provide free diagnosis and treatment to the Qiang people who came to surrender.
It is not only to stabilize the land of Longyou, but also to compete with Ni Wei for the hearts of the Qiang and Hu tribes.
Then we established the Mongolian School and completely assimilated them into the Han family.
Once again, Zheng Pujin's strategy of "capturing people's hearts and minds" was somewhat ineffective.
It was for Qiao and Zhou to continue to preach against the violent and harsh rule of the Wei Dynasty, and then add a layer of theories about ghosts and gods.
In the past, Emperor Guangwu used Fu Rui Tu to prophesy his troops. After he came to the throne, he believed in the prophecy and made all the Han family members, whether they were scholars or common people, be fond of the theory of ghosts and gods.
Among them, the northwest Qianghu tribe, which has little literature, is even worse.
Today, Zheng Pu wants Qiao Zhouyi to sort out "Wei Wu Cao Cao had a son for twenty-five years, and he died at the age of sixty-six. He was blessed with a long life and many sons. And Cao Pi, who stole the artifact,
He had nine sons and died at the age of forty. Now Cao Rui has very few heirs, and the eldest son has already died in infancy." This is the theory of heavenly punishment.
It is said that the great man was given the destiny of heaven.
With the 400-year-old prestige of the Han Dynasty and the less than 10-year-old state of Cao and Wei, the Qiang and Hu tribes in the northwest are left to make their own decisions about who to affiliate themselves with, which is more in line with the inheritance of their own tribes.
As for whether so many strategies were suddenly put forward, whether they were suitable for the current national conditions of the Han Dynasty, whether they had the ability to implement them, or whether they could be implemented to some extent.
Zheng Pu didn't think about it.
Because it's not necessary.
He just knew that if the prime minister, who was entrusted by the late emperor Liu Bei and was called "my father-in-law" by today's son Liu Chan, and who was determined by the Han Dynasty to do everything in detail, could not implement it, then no one in the Han Dynasty would be able to implement it in the future!
Taking advantage of the great victory at Longyou and the opportunity for the Prime Minister to gather strength for the Northern Expedition again, he revealed all his plans.
It doesn't matter if you spread the land into acres, or move the people to the Han Dynasty.
If it can be implemented for one point, the national strength of the Han Dynasty can be increased by one point.
After all, all success requires someone to take the first step.
As for whether he could achieve full success, he never counted on it.
The establishment of any system and laws cannot be accomplished overnight!
Only through the test of time and frequent collisions with the current situation and trends can it be born out of labor pains.
It’s better than the ending of stillbirth!
Therefore, he just wanted to use the prime minister's wisdom, prestige and skill to give these strategies a start, so that those who followed could "follow the rules and follow suit".
It took decades and one or two generations of continuous implementation to find a perfect system that suited the Han people.
Otherwise, if the policy of treating scholar-bureaucrats kindly will continue in the future, powerful aristocratic families will annex acres of land, leaving the poor with no place to stand, even if the Han Dynasty is revived, they will inevitably enter the endless cycle of the "Yellow Turban Rebellion".
However, Zheng Pu had never managed the herdsmen, nor had he gone deep into the villages, towns and villages to listen to the expectations of the common people.
He could only throw out all his thoughts and thoughts for the prime minister to choose how much to implement.
It’s successful, of course I’m happy.
It’s impossible, and there’s no thought.
Of course!
He had not thought about it, and the Prime Minister would reject it.
The Han Dynasty, which had gone through the Battle of Xiangfan and the Battle of Yiling, had already fallen into a situation where it was inevitable to perish without a fight!
With the Prime Minister’s talent and knowledge, how can he not understand this situation clearly!
Moreover, the prime minister who regards the Northern Expedition against the Wei Dynasty and the restoration of the Central Plains as his only belief in this life, would he veto anything that is beneficial to the country?
Furthermore, Zheng Pu has not considered his own reputation.
If he is a scholar from Yizhou, but he proposes policies that harm the interests of Yizhou's wealthy families, such as dividing the land between farmers and farmers, will he be criticized privately by the villagers? Or will he ignore the natural barriers between scholars, farmers, industry, commerce, and the world and propose to recruit people regardless of family status?
Talents, whether they will be criticized verbally or penally by others, etc.
Right and wrong, merits and demerits are left to the judgment of future generations!
When a man is born in the world, he should act according to his heart, break up when he wants to break up, and fight when he wants to fight. Why should he care about other people's opinions?
He is determined to work hard to regain the Central Plains, so why bother with his mere reputation?
The sage Mencius once said: "Even if tens of thousands of people go to the place of righteousness, I will go there."
Zheng Pu naturally did not dare to compare with the sages.
And everyone’s understanding of “righteousness” is different.
However, he can also ignore the accusations and scorn of millions of people for the sake of "righteousness" in his heart.
Even if he fails in one day and will be infamy for thousands of years!
"promise."
Zheng Pu, who received the instructions from the Prime Minister, Su Rong responded, "Pu knows the importance of this. When Brother Yunnan arrives at Longyou, he will act according to the circumstances, and he will not let my great man's reputation be damaged in the slightest."
"Heh~~~~"
He was so solemn that the Prime Minister couldn't help but smile and nodded approvingly, "There is no need to be so restrained. Zijin has always acted with discretion, and I have no doubts about it."
After saying this, he waved his hand again and said, "The matter here is over, please go back and take care of things."
"promise."
After everyone heard the words, they all left the table, bowed and left.
Zheng Pu, who slowly walked out of the department room, suddenly felt that the sleepiness that had come all the way and the fatigue that he had just concentrated on explaining in detail to everyone were coming over him like a tide.
I just know that Zhuge Qiao, who has been pointed out by the Prime Minister, will definitely come to him later and ask about the third strategy of "consolidating the foundation and benefiting the state".
Therefore, after exchanging a few words with Guan Xing and Jiang Wei and agreeing to look for him in a few days, he suppressed his tiredness and walked slowly, waiting to return.
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Qiao was still talking to the prime minister about the long separation between father and son in the office, when Yao Wan, the prime minister's official, came to his side first.
However, without being polite, he smiled and asked, "Zijin, I wonder if Zhang Boqi can come to Hebei County with him?"
Well, Yao Min and Zhang Yi are from the same county, and they have always been friendly.
"Bo Qi is leading the army behind, and we will definitely arrive in the next two or three days."
Zheng Pu also smiled and said jokingly, "If Yao Yu has free time, you can come and look for him. Although there is no rule in our army to prevent others from entering, we dare not close the door and not welcome Yao Yu."
"Ha, Zijin is really a quickie!"
Hearing this, Yao Min smiled sternly, "So, in a few days, I will go to see Zijin's Xuanwu army. Well, Zijin, I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."
"Okay, Yao Peng, do it yourself."
Nodding gently, Zheng Pu said goodbye to him.
But for some reason, the Prime Minister's Office Chief Shi Xianglang waved to him and walked straight over, "Zijin, are you still free? Come and talk to me in the office?"
