Zhuge Liang returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked Jiang Wan to be called, "Gongyan, I remember that Ma Yan in Hanzhong once sent an official document about the repair of artificial stone avenues from Nanzheng to Yang'an Pass, and from Nanzheng to Fuxian. ”

Jiang Wan nodded and said, "This is indeed the case." It's just that the prime minister was on a southern expedition at that time, and the government treasury was short of money and food, so Xiang Changshi rejected Ma Taishou's suggestion. ”

This incident is very impressive, not because Ma Jian wants to build a road when the treasury is tight.

Nor is it because Ma Tan praised the spaciousness and smoothness of Shuangnan Avenue (Nanxiang to Nanzheng) in his official document, as well as its amazing transportation volume.

For example, the artificial stone road can be used by four-wheeled vehicles, and the transportation in one month can be transported in the previous three or four months.

It's because Ma Jian sent a plan in the official document.

This plan is the conclusion given by the civil engineering team of Nanxiang after the request of Taishou Ma Tan in Hanzhong, and specially inspected the section from Nanzheng to Yang'anguan, as well as the section from Nanzheng to Fu County.

It lists the labor, materials, time, money and food required for each mile of road, and even points out the construction requirements for special road sections.

It can be said that as long as you get this plan, the various matters of road construction will be clear at a glance.

It's a form that has never been seen before.

In the past, the government paved bridges and built roads, and they had a little spare money today, so they levied the people to repair a little, and when the food ran out tomorrow, they stopped work, and when they remembered it one day, they would repair it again.

And the amount of money and food spent basically depends on the discipline of the officials below.

Those who have discipline are used less.

If you have less discipline, you will use more.

As for those who have no discipline...... Maybe the money and food ran out, and the road didn't move at all.

Yang Hong scolded Li Yan back then, and even resigned in anger, because he couldn't get used to Li Yan when he was building roads and embankments, so he took the opportunity to let people overhaul buildings for himself and engage in image projects.

The plan issued by the Nannan Native Engineer's Engineering Team allowed the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion to see a new and unheard of form: the money and grain are in place, the project is started, and as much food is given, they can do as much as they want, without procrastination and without waste.

More importantly, there is no need to levy people's husbands and delay agricultural time.

Moreover, according to the experience of Shuangnan Avenue, as long as there is no human obstruction, although the government organizes the people to build the road, although it will cost less money and food than directly handing over to the Nannan local engineering team, after all, the people need to bring a part of their own rations.

However, the road built by the Nannan local engineering team is not only short in duration, but also of good quality!

According to Ma Yan's official document, Shuangnan Avenue is not only accessible to pedestrians, but also extremely convenient, which greatly shortens the time between Nanxiang and Nanzheng.

Moreover, it can also drive a kind of four-wheeled cart, which carries two or three times more goods than ordinary horse-drawn carriages - this kind of four-wheeled cart is also a specialty of Nanxiang.

Jiang Wan, as the second student trained by the prime minister, knew that the prime minister would carry out the Northern Expedition based on Hanzhong in the near future.

If Hanzhong can have such avenues to connect Yang'an Pass, Nanzheng, and Fuxian, plus four-wheeled vehicles, I don't know how much convenience it will bring to the Northern Expedition.

Not to mention that the government organized the people to build such a good road, and not to mention that it was delayed because of the agricultural time, many projects would be completed for one reason or another, and money and grain would be wasted in vain.

The South Native Wood Engineering Team does not have these problems.

And after the money and food are in place, they must do their work well - the money and food of the imperial court, dare not work when they get it? It's not just a hot hand, it's a head-off.

So when Jiang Wan learned about this kind of thing in the Nannan Native Wood Engineering Team, he was so impressed that he almost broke the case.

He had been to Nanxiang in Hanzhong, and that road really impressed him - those crimson cloth banners with more children and more cattle and sheep written on it, no one who saw it could forget it.

Just the artificial stone road built in Nanxiang County is already amazing, if it is directly repaired to Nanzheng, how spectacular is it?

If it weren't for the fact that the prime minister was on a southern expedition, he would have wanted to go to Hanzhong again and see it with his own eyes.

Therefore, Ma Jian is worthy of being a character that the prime minister looks at differently.

Although he sent this official document at that time, it seemed to be a little unsympathetic to state affairs on the surface, but it was his real purpose to let the prime minister understand the difference in it.

"You find that official document and bring it to me to see."

I only heard Zhuge Liang command.

Hanzhong was the advance base of the Northern Expedition, and Ma Tan was sent to Hanzhong, so he naturally had to prepare for the Northern Expedition in advance.

Therefore, the news sent back by Ma Tan from Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang had to see them one by one.

Zhuge Liang naturally read this plan.

But just as it is impossible to build a dock fort in Nanzhong to strengthen the control of Nanzhong, money and grain are the biggest constraints, so Zhuge Liang also agreed with Xiang Lang's opinion at the beginning and temporarily suppressed this official document.

Now Zhuge Liang suddenly took the initiative to bring up the old matter, which made Jiang Wan a little surprised.

After Jiang Wan brought the official document, he saw that the smile on the corner of the prime minister's mouth had been condensed, so he asked more, "The prime minister seems to be in a good mood?" ”

Zhuge Liang spread out the plan, and said with a smile, "It's naturally good to hear the words of the sages and know the way to enrich the country." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Wan was surprised.

When can the title of sage be used on Feng Langjun?

When Zhuge Liang said this, he remembered the four sentences that Feng Yong said, and the more agitated his mind became, he couldn't help but read: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations, those who can have such a mind are really sages!" ”

"This ...... This is what Feng Langjun said? ”

Jiang Wan said something after eating, only to feel that his heart was shocked, and he suddenly felt a heart of high mountain admiration.

"This is his teacher's admonition." Zhuge Liang sighed, "Those who can set up this precept are better than me!" Look at it as a sage. ”

"I see." The more Jiang Wan savored these four sentences, the more he felt admired, and he couldn't help but say, "It should indeed be ......regarded as a sage."

It's just that when he thinks of Feng Langjun, he always feels a little strange in his heart.

"Prime Minister, the treasury is short of money and food, so don't you also agree with Xiang Changshi's opinion and not build those two roads for the time being?"

Jiang Wan saw that Zhuge Liang began to look at the plan carefully, and from time to time he swiped his finger over the data on it, and his eyes flashed from time to time.

After following the prime minister for so long, he knew that this was a sign that the prime minister was beginning to be tempted.

"What if we can raise money?"

Zhuge Liang said quietly.

"How?"

Jiang Wan was taken aback again.

"Gongyan will know it in the future." Zhuge Liang shook his head, but he sold it and pointed to the plan above, "Gongyan, you said, if only one of these two roads can be built, which one will you choose?" ”

Remembering that the prime minister had just gone to see Feng Langjun, Jiang Wan couldn't help but secretly say, is this Feng Langjun really having any way to raise money and food?

Hearing the prime minister ask this again, he made up his mind and said, "Yan thinks, first repair Nanzheng to Fu County." ”

"Why?"

"There is an official road from Yang'an Pass to Nanzheng, although it is not easy to walk, but it is only compared with Shuangnan Avenue, and it is no obstacle for two cars to go side by side. However, when Nanzheng went to Fu County, it was more difficult than the official road, and the car could only barely pass. ”

"Now the wool over there in Liangzhou needs to be transported into Hanzhong through Fu County, not to mention, the prime minister will go out of Qishan Northern Expedition in the future, and he will also take this road, if he can repair this road first, he can save a lot of things."

Jiang Wan analyzed.

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, "That's right." ”

"It's just that this road costs a lot of money and food."

Jiang Wan reminded the prime minister.

"It doesn't matter." Zhuge Liang shook his head, "That kid must be willing to pay this money." ”

Is it really Feng Langjun?

Why did he give this money?

Thinking of this, Jiang Wan glanced at the smiling prime minister, and felt a little pity for Feng Yong: Feng Langjun, it's not easy.

"One more thing."

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, and his eyes fell on the table data in the plan, "I want to recount the population registration of the Han Dynasty, Gongyan, what do you think?" ”

"Prime Minister, you also need money and food to check the household registration of the population."

"It doesn't matter. This money, Dahan can still afford it. ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Since the beginning of the first year of Jianxing, Quyuan plough and eight ox ploughs have been built one after another, Dujiangyan and Hanzhong have been reclaimed, and there are a lot more people registered in the Han Dynasty. ”

"Now that Nanzhong has been pacified, and nearly 20,000 households have moved to Shuzhong, it is time to reorganize the household registration, so that we can have a bottom in our hearts, so as not to be hidden by those big families in the future."

Jiang Wan listened, nodded and said, "The prime minister's mind has been decided, so Wan will arrange it." ”

Two flowering ......

Phew, it's not.

It is two flowers, one for each flower.

On the other end, Li Feng and Wang You were ordered by the prime minister to rush to Fengzhuang outside the city.

Entering Zhuangzi, I haven't walked to the door of Feng's mansion yet, but I saw that the road in the village was flat, the chickens and dogs smelled each other, and even the sound of Langlang reading faintly came.

One of the two families is rich and luxurious, and the other is a local family, so naturally there are many Zhuangzi.

But no matter which of their own Zhuangzi, most of the villagers are blue-clothed, their hands and feet are covered with mud and dirt because they are not cleaned all year round, and their hair is dirty.

But the Fengzhuang households they met along the way, although the clothes on their bodies were not very good, they were all clean and tidy, and their expressions were more confident than other places.

If it weren't for the faint worry on everyone's face, the two felt that this place was really a rare paradise.

Under the leadership of the subordinates, the two walked to the door of Feng's mansion, only to see a group of Langjun ladies standing at the door.

A woman in the front is tall, but when she sees a golden hairpin on her head, a green waist and a pair of beautiful eyes, she is radiant.

But with a coldness on his body, he stood there like a golden sword, not moving like a mountain, not angry and majestic.

Although there are many people behind her, at first glance, this woman is like a proud snow and a cold plum, standing in a quiet valley, blooming quietly and elegantly, making people involuntarily focus their eyes on her.

Li Feng and Wang You glanced at each other, each saw a touch of surprise in each other's eyes, and at the same time a question popped up in their hearts: Isn't my brother's poem about flowers and moons actually written for this woman?

"Concubine Guan has seen two Langjun, I don't know what the two of them are coming, what are you doing?"

I saw Guan Ji curling Tingting a blessing, lightly opening the cherry lips, and the sound was like the quiet chirping of the empty valley.

When Li Feng and Wang You heard this, they hurriedly collected their thoughts and said, "Li Feng (Wang You) has seen Guan Niangzi. ”

Li Feng has a higher status and is older, so he stepped forward and continued, "On the order of the prime minister, I came to inform Guan Niangzi that my brother is going to use pen, ink, paper and inkstone in prison, please prepare some and send someone to send it." ”

Guan Ji was slightly stunned, and her beautiful face was contemplative for a moment, "Brother? Who is your brother? ”

Li Feng coughed, he remembered those rumors in Jincheng, and at this time, he saw that everyone in Feng Mansion was actually headed by Guan Ji, and thought to himself that Guan Ji was really a beautiful brother and sister, and I should treat him as a sister-in-law.

So he bent down slightly to show respect, and said, "Back to Guan Niangzi, the prime minister took me and the other two to visit Feng Langjun in prison, so that I and others can get closer to Feng Langjun." We have already called Feng Langjun as my brother. ”

Hearing this, Guan Ji's face finally showed a hint of relief.

I saw her smile slightly, and the coldness of Fang Cai suddenly dissipated, like a spring breeze warming, and a hundred flowers blooming.

"I see, since the two of you are not outsiders, then please come into the house to speak."

Although the Jincheng order asked the people in the house to send some things over, there was no order from the prime minister, and even he could not be imprisoned to visit. So knowing that Ah Lang will be fine in prison, but to say that she is not worried is actually false.

Since the prime minister deliberately took these two people to visit Ah Lang in prison, and asked these two to call Ah Lang his brother, I think Ah Lang must be doing well in prison.

Thinking that the man always looked improper, but no matter where he went, he could live a good life, and he didn't even think of sending a message to himself, so that he was worried in vain, Guan Ji felt a trace of anger in his heart.

It's just that before she could turn around and welcome Li Feng and Wang You into the mansion, a person came out behind her and asked urgently, "Is my brother okay in prison?" ”

Li Feng looked at it, and Zhao Guangzheng looked at him with anxiety in his eyes.

Before he could Li Feng speak, Guan Ji frowned slightly and scolded.

"Erlang must not be rude. What can Ah Lang do? Since the prime minister asked people to bring a message, then after inviting the distinguished guests into the house, they asked carefully, blocking people outside the door, not the way of hospitality. ”

The voice is not loud, but it is clear and powerful, coupled with that calm and calm appearance, it really has the demeanor of a famous family.

After the hero of Jincheng, Zhao Jiaerlang seemed to be very in awe of the woman in front of him, and when he heard this, he quickly subconsciously shrank his neck, not daring to say anything more.

Li Feng swept his eyes away, only to see that not only Zhao Jiaerlang, but also the others behind Guan Ji were silent.

In it, Li Feng even recognized Li Yi, the son of the governor of Nanzhong, who was also looking at his nose and nose, which made him secretly surprised, what kind of ability does this Guan Ji have? Can you clean up all these gentlemen closely?

And this kind of woman, despite the rumors in Jincheng, is willing to guard the family for her brother, which is really a rare strange woman.

Guan Ji drank Zhao Guang, and then solemnly gestured, "Two Langjun, please." ”

At this time, she drank Zhao Guang and had some thoughts.

Because even if Ah Lang is fine, as long as someone comes to say something that is misleading, with the current appearance of the people in the house, it will only greatly increase everyone's panic.

Therefore, no matter whether the news is good or bad, you should go into the house and say it in detail, and then choose to inform everyone in the house, rather than making a fuss in public.

Feng Yong wanted to use paper and pen, and specially asked someone to notify the people in the house to send it over, in addition to the quality of the paper produced by Feng Zhuang was the best, Guan Ji also knew that Feng Yong was used to using charcoal pens and did not like to use brushes.

Guan Ji informed Ah Mei to pack up all the things that should be prepared, and she planned to send them over herself.

Then she saw Amei holding the package with tears in her eyes, staring at herself, Guan Ji sighed, "Okay, I know, you can follow me too." ”

Ah Mei burst into tears and laughed, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, thank you." ”

"Thank me for what? You should have checked it out. ”

Guan Ji looked at Amei, and a light flashed in her eyes.

Since Nanzhong came back, she has noticed a lot of changes in Amei, and she has already guessed something in her heart.

Many sons and gentlemen in Jincheng have had many maids to warm their beds since they were twelve or thirteen years old, and it is even more common to go to the women's palace to have fun.

Guan Jiben also has no prejudices about this kind of thing.

If the one who has no conscience is like this, he will not say anything.

It's just because he has the rules of the teacher, and he told himself that he can't break his body before the age of eighteen, so he can be regarded as a clean person.

This Amei is also a beautiful woman, and she has been by his side for two years, and he hasn't touched it.

So I was really happy about him.

I didn't expect to take this Amei to Nanzhong, and if I didn't pay attention to it, I actually let that bastard get it!

Bah!

No conscience!

I've endured it for a year and a half, can't I endure it for a little longer?!

Remembering that he was afraid of him, he didn't even think to send a message.

Now that I see Amei, I think of him actually carrying his head and giving Amei the soup behind his back.

Guan Ji's heart became more and more irritated.
