Zhuge Liang was thinking about it, only to hear Jiang Wan say again, "Prime Minister, when it comes to collecting grain, the students still have something to report. ”

"What?"

As things in Hanzhong are getting on the rails, coupled with the fact that he sent his proud disciples to Hanzhong, and Jincheng is entangled in important things such as the storage of summer grain, as long as there is nothing major, Zhuge Liang has not cared about Hanzhong for a while.

Jiang Wan replied: "Prime Minister, the Li family reported two days ago, saying that the Hanzhong Dian Agricultural School Wei Cheng also asked them to help raise grain. ”

"Oh?"

Zhuge Liang was really a little surprised this time, "Li family? Six-room? ”

"Yes."

Zhuge Liang's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, as if he really couldn't remember clearly, "I remember, there is a daughter in the sixth room of the Li family, and it seems to be in Hanzhong?" ”

"It's a son and a daughter."

Jiang Wan's face was a little strange, coughed, and said, "Listen to the words of the Li family, the daughter of the Li family who was placed in Hanzhong has been accepted into the ...... by that Feng Langjun."

"Huh?!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes were shining, and he almost blurted out.

Received?

"Collected in the weaving workshop......"

Jiang Wan said cautiously.

"Taken into the textile workshop? What do you mean? ”

Zhuge Liang's face was a little stunned.

"It was Feng Langjun who took this woman into the textile workshop, saying that she was made the head of the textile workshop."

When Jiang Wan talked about this, the expression on his face was even more strange.

This Feng Mingwen is really unpredictable.

"Just in charge?"

Zhuge Liang's face twitched slightly, and he said in his heart, that bastard boy, what does this mean?

Before, you ignored that woman, I really thought it was a child's misunderstanding, and now suddenly let people take care of things, how can you do things so unreasonably?

Besides, I let this woman go to Hanzhong, and I didn't let her be in charge of you.

You either don't touch it or you ......

How can you do this, half and leave half?

"I heard from the people of the Li family that they are indeed only in charge, and I heard that the affairs of the weavers in the textile workshop are mostly decided by them."

Zhuge Liang listened and was silent for a long time, then he sighed, "This son is open-minded, sometimes open-minded and informal. In the textile workshop, the weavers are mostly women and women, and it is much more convenient for women to be in charge than men. ”

"If you change to another family, where you have a little output, who dares to be so bold and let women take power? Not to mention an industry as big as a textile workshop, he is not afraid of gossip......"

When Zhuge Liang said this, he seemed to remember something again, shook his head and said to himself, "It's that I think too much." Ever since he knew him, he has not been gossiped about any of the things he has done. ”

"This year, the imperial court collects grain, and the cloth and silk used rely on the textile workshop, so there must be no loss there. Gongyan, you can worry about this matter, whether it is the Huang family or the Li family, if someone is embarrassed when they collect grain, you can't help but give a hand. lest someone who opens his eyes sees that the two are easy to bully and wants to take advantage. ”

"Students understand."

Jiang Wan replied, and at the same time sighed in his heart, these Huang and Li families, don't they want to turn over?

"Also, you can help me draw up an order, and let Wei Wenchang send some men and horses to Nanxiang to garrison. There are many Hu people in Nanxiang, and although it is unlikely that Wei thieves will go upriver from the Han River, it is always right to be more vigilant. ”

"Yes."

Speaking of the Hu people, Jiang Wan couldn't help but think of similar people.

"Prime Minister, these days, all families in Hanzhong have received the labor sent by Nanzhong, and the reclamation has been much faster. If it is next year or this year, the newly opened fields do not need to pay grain, and Hanzhong will definitely be self-sufficient. ”

After a pause, he spoke again, "It's just the prime minister, will you start letting Hanzhong pay for grain next year, will you be too anxious?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head, "No." The newly opened fields in Hanzhong are mostly abandoned in the old years, and in one year, there is enough output. ”

When Zhuge Liang said this, he remembered the sixth room of the Li family that had entered the reclamation of Hanzhong, and couldn't help but add a few words, "It's just that this old land is ripe, and there will always be a time to finish." ”

"But with these eight-oxen ploughs, even raw land is easier to cultivate than before. Therefore, in this birthplace, it is possible to delay the harvest of grain for two or three years. Regardless of whether this is Shuzhong or Hanzhong, you must prepare early. ”

With the eight-ox plow, not only in Hanzhong, but also in Shuzhong, many places that were not easy to reclaim in the past, I am afraid that it will also become a lot easier.

So this is also one of the reasons why everyone in Shuzhong is willing to promise Zhuge Liang not to enter Hanzhong.

Shuzhong can be reclaimed, so why go to Hanzhong?

However, Jiang Wan heard another meaning.

"What does the prime minister mean by letting the big clans in Shu also enter Hanzhong?"

"You can't stop it." Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "It is enough to block them for two or three years." The land in Hanzhong cannot be opened up by merit alone. ”

"After two or three years, the abandoned land was almost finished. As for those raw lands, who wants to open them, and why should the imperial court stop them? The more the land opens, the more grain is harvested, and that's a good thing. ”

As a representative of Jingzhou's entry into Shu, Zhuge Liang naturally understood the contradiction between the local clans and their outsiders.

To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than the word stake.

Why did they welcome the first emperor to Shu in the first place? It is said that it is the revival of the Han Dynasty, but in fact, which one is not the work of the dragon?

Not to mention the big families in Shu, that is, the meritorious deeds brought into Shu by the first emperor, how many people are just for the first emperor's sentence to revive the Han family?

Even if it is Guan Junhou and Zhang Junhou, more reasons are because of righteousness, which is why life and death go hand in hand, right?

Therefore, not only did the Shuzhong family not get what they wanted from the Han, but they also had to be pressed by their own outsiders, and they were dissatisfied, which was human nature.

However, the Han Dynasty is such a big place, and the money, grain and population are all in the hands of the local family, even if they know that the Shuzhong clan is dissatisfied, they have to continue to let them contribute money and grain.

Revive the Han Dynasty and return it to the old capital, which is to be beaten, not shouted.

Only by laying down more territory, can there be more benefits to be shared.

Besides, not only are the local families dissatisfied, but even the meritorious ones may not be satisfied.

From the dragon's work, what is the use of just giving a name and official position?

The most important thing is the inheritance, which can make oneself and let one's children and grandchildren eat and wear without worry, enjoy themselves, and sleep a few more beauties.

The field is the foundation!

Only with land can there be output, only with money and grain, and with money and grain, can it be squandered, right?

But how many of the heroes of the Han Dynasty are rich in land?

Just look at Liao Gongyuan's eyes for the family, and you can understand that he may not have more thoughts about finding a way back for himself.

Although the local family is pressed by others, they look down on the nobles behind their backs, what's the big deal about the poor ghosts?

Isn't it just for the sake of profit that both sides are greedy for each other's things?

Zhuge Liang, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, coordinates the overall situation, how can he not understand the truth of this?

But his family is thin, his money is tight, his territory is small, and the big man is in such a predicament, what can he do?

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of a turtle, according to his thoughts, just balancing the various forces in Shu would have to consume most of his energy.

Only strict laws and regulations and fair actions can make people speechless, and can maintain the balance of this fragile land as much as possible.

Therefore, the eight-ox plough is good, and the tunken Hanzhong is good!

The land of Hanzhong finally diverted the attention of the heroes.

Although I couldn't feed them all, it was much better than screaming with hunger before.

With the foundation in hand, Liao Gongyuan and his ilk will presumably have a lot less.

The Han Dynasty suppressed the Shuzhong clan, but didn't they rely on the money and food in their hands?

Only when Hanzhong has output and the court itself has money and grain in its own hands, can it let go of its hands and feet in the face of those big clans, so that it will not have any scruples.

Hearing the prime minister say this, Jiang Wan also nodded approvingly, "The prime minister does this, so that the big clan in Shu can get some benefits from the acres of land, but it can also make them less resentful." ”

Hearing Jiang Wan's words, Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart.

Gongyan is generous by nature, more than steady, and lacks change, so he can only be regarded as a person who keeps his achievements; It's enough to change the chance, but it's too conceited, and it's a little inconsiderate.

Neither of these is what I want.

After a few more days, Li Yi finally led his group to Jincheng.

"Doctor Fan, please stay in this small courtyard for the time being in the past two days. When I finish my errands in Jincheng, I will go north to Hanzhong together. Jincheng is the capital of my Han Dynasty, if Fan Yigong is in the mood, he can be in the mood to visit. ”

"I'll leave two of my followers behind, and if there's anything to do, I'll just tell them directly."

Li Yi placed the people he had brought from Nanzhong in a separate courtyard, and said to them before leaving.

There were about a dozen people in this group, and the leader was an old man dressed as an old peasant, with white hair and beard, who at first glance looked fifty or sixty years old, but his waist was straight, and although his face was tanned by the sun, there were no wrinkles.

If you just look at his face, a 30-year-old farmer may not be as young as him.

So this is an old man who can't see his age clearly.

I only heard that the old man surnamed Fan heard Li Yi say this, and hurriedly laughed and said, "People from the countryside, if you can live in such a place, how can you say that you are wronged?" Li Langjun has something to do, please do it, don't worry about me and waiting. As long as it's over, come and ask me to wait for my departure. ”

Li Yi ordered his entourage again, and then left.

"Father, this Jincheng really deserves the name of Jin, it is really prosperous, and it is much better here than Nanzhong."

As soon as Li Yi left, the two entourages left behind went to the side room to rest. The rest of the people were old and young, and when they saw the young people, they immediately couldn't hold back their excited expressions.

On the contrary, the middle-aged people in the crowd showed a nostalgic look, and said with some emotion, "I remember that when I was a teenager, I also went to this Jincheng with adults, but I didn't expect to be able to come back after so many years." ”

The old man surnamed Fan looked at his children and grandchildren, his face seemed sad and happy, as if he still had some apologies.

"Alas, it's me who drags you down. Since you like Jincheng, take advantage of these two days to look around and leave a thought. lest I go to Hanzhong, and I don't know when I will be able to come back. ”

"Why does the Father feel so much? Didn't Li Langjun say it? I'm waiting to go to Hanzhong here, and I have an opportunity. It's not like the ancestor ......"

As soon as a fast-talking young man said this, he heard a loud shout: "Shut up! ”

The young man swallowed his words back in fright.

The old man surnamed Fan smiled, and there was some mockery in his words, "How can the nobles in the world ever take us and other doctors seriously? Call it when you use it, drink it when you don't use it. When I encounter those who are vicious, I am afraid that even my life will not be saved. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at everyone again, and then continued, "No matter what Li Langjun says, as long as he hasn't arrived in Hanzhong, as long as he hasn't seen what he promised, it can't be trusted, so it's better to be careful." ”

"If you can't believe it, why do you want to come out in person? Even if the Li family is kind to adults, but listening to Li Langjun's tone, they are just looking for some medical workers to call, and letting the children go through this experience can be regarded as repaying the kindness, so why is Lord Lao running around like this? ”

A middle-aged man asked.

The old man surnamed Fan sighed and said, "It's one thing to repay your kindness, but my Fan family was forced to hide in Nanzhong because of my fault. Nanzhong is a wild land, how can I bear to let my children and grandchildren become barbarians because of my fault? ”

"Although I don't really believe what Li Langjun promised, I can't help but want to come and take a look. In the situation of the Fan family at this time, the sin is caused by me, and it should be atonement by me. ”

"Why should the Father be so pessimistic. In the land of Nanzhong, I often heard that Feng Langjun was the first young man Langjun of the Han Dynasty, and how many women in Nanzhong were taken in by him, so he avoided the pain of war, and I thought he would not be a villain. ”

The young man is more optimistic than his elders, thinking about the rumor, the first young man of the Han Dynasty, Lang Jun, is only seventeen years old, and he has already made a great career and is famous in the world.

If you can follow such young heroes, even if you can't get ahead, you can comfort your admiration.

"How can rumors be credulous?"

The old man surnamed Fan reprimanded and said thoughtfully, "But what you said also reminded me." Jincheng was originally the capital of the Han Dynasty, and I heard that this Feng Langjun originally lived in Jincheng, and then went to Hanzhong. ”

"Thinking of this Feng Langjun's great reputation, Jincheng must have a lot of rumors related to him, you take the opportunity to go out to watch Jincheng and take the opportunity to investigate."

"Didn't the eldest father say that rumors should not be believed?"

"Whew!" The old man surnamed Fan slapped his thigh, "Nanzhong is so far away from Jincheng, and when the rumors spread there, they have long since changed their taste, so they can't be trusted." ”

"Besides, a rumor should not be believed, but you inquire more, as long as many people are the same statement, then nine times out of ten it is almost the same."

After listening to the old man's words, several young people were happy on their faces, and the matter of this inquiry was secondary, the key was to go out to see this flower-like Jincheng, which was a great thing.

A few of them went all the way, and the more they went north, the more prosperous they felt.

When I arrived in Jincheng, my eyes almost couldn't see it.

In such a wild place as Nanzhong, don't say you've seen it, just think about it, you never thought that there was such a flower-like place in this world.

So several people have been itching in their hearts for a long time.

"Although Li Langjun is the son of the governor, after all, this is Jincheng, and it is at the foot of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. When you go out, be careful, and don't cause trouble or get into trouble. Before going out, first ask Li Langjun's people what they need to pay attention to in this Jincheng. ”

"Remember the Father's command."

Several young people hurriedly said.

It wasn't long after a few people went out that one of them came back with a face as pale as land.

"Father, it's not good! This Feng Langjun, if it is really as you said, the rumors are wrong. ”

As soon as the young man saw the old man surnamed Fan, he said in shock.

"What did you know?"

The old man surnamed Fan chuckled in his heart and hurriedly asked.

"That Feng Langjun, it turns out that he also has a reputation, called Feng Langjun, who is clever and eloquent, saying that this person can speak well, and he actually said that a person like the prime minister can listen to his nonsense......"

The old man surnamed Fan tightened his face, thought about it, and still had some luck in his heart, "You just go out for a little time, but you may not be able to inquire completely, and wait for others to come back." ”

After some time, two more young men ran back in a panic.

"Father, it's not good! This Feng Langjun, if it is really as you said, the rumors are wrong! ”

"What's the rumor, tell me quickly? Isn't it a clever word? ”

The old man surnamed Fan hurriedly asked.

"No, no, it's not clever words, it's a wrong word, it's clever words. I heard that this son was amorous and bold, not only hooked up with the little lady of Zhang Junhou's family, but also dared to let the third lady of Guan Junhou's family accompany him to Hanzhong. ”

"Yes, yes!"

Another young man also nodded, "I heard that he hasn't married yet, so he has changed a lot of personal maids, and he can't do without beautiful maids by his side every day." Even if he went to Hanzhong, he didn't forget to let the beautiful maid accompany him. ”

The old man surnamed Pan's face turned pale.

At this moment, another young man came in, and before he could enter the door, he shouted, "Father, uncle, it's not good! ”

"Close the door, speak slowly, don't let others listen!"

When the old man surnamed Fan saw his grandson look like this, he hurriedly shouted.

"Father...... That Feng Langjun, I heard that he is not a good waiter, he has quirks. ”

"What quirks?"

"to take other people's wives."

"What?!"

The old man surnamed Fan exclaimed, he finally remembered a certain person, a person he would never want to remember, but he would never forget.

"Is that true?"

The old man almost grabbed the placket of his grandson's clothes.

"You can't be wrong."

The young man ran to the door, opened a crack, and made sure that there was no one by the door, then he turned around and whispered, "I heard that the third lady of the Guan family originally wanted to marry Li Langjun, but was forcibly taken away by Feng Langjun. ”

As he spoke, he swallowed another mouthful of saliva, "Also, I heard that a few days ago, there was a big official surnamed Liao, who wanted to marry a woman surnamed Li, but in the end, the big official not only lost his official position, but the whole family was exiled to Wenshan. ”

"And the woman of the Li family is staying by Feng Langjun's side now...... Father...... Father...... What's wrong with you? ”

Before the young man could finish speaking, the old man surnamed Fan shuddered and scolded: "Cao thief! ”

Then he rolled his eyes and fainted.
