Since the first three months of Jianxing, Jiangdu has begun the longest holiday of the year that lasts for half a month.

As in previous years, it will last until the 15th National Congress of the first lunar month.

During this period, the government office was closed, and most of the other officials were on leave, except for a few officials who sat in the hall and the officials who took turns on duty.

There are Zhao Yun and Ma Jian on the front line; On the Central Plains side, Guan Yu finally bowed his head and stopped struggling, and Beifu always maintained restraint.

So Zhuge Liang made a relatively peaceful and stable New Year.

For the increasingly prosperous Jiangdu Shimin, the ruling Prime Minister Zhuge can quell the impending civil war...... That's a lot of power.

Therefore, this New Year, inside and outside Jiangdu, where the flavor of the year is very full, the people of all people cherish this hard-won peaceful life, as well as prosperity and wealth.

In response to Beifu's restrained attitude, Zhuge Liang gradually repatriated the Nanzhong soldiers and Yizhou soldiers, and during this New Year, about 20,000 troops traveled up from Jiangdu and withdrew to Yizhou to receive reinforcements from the new assassin history.

Shooting aid to make Yizhou assassin history is a condition acceptable to the imperial court.

At least, the bottom line of shooting reinforcement is one line higher than Li Yan, and it is not as fierce and radical as Li Yan.

In this increasingly harmonious moment, waiting for the spring ploughing to leave for the capital...... Cao Pi's death and the movements of the Wei army are not things worth noting and caring about.

For Zhuge Liang, the most important thing now is to deal with Guan Xing's marriage.

Guan Xing took the initiative to hand over the marriage to the imperial court, which is equivalent to a big step back, which is conducive to promoting the harmonious atmosphere of the government and the opposition, depending on how the imperial court responds.

Therefore, during the precious holiday in the first half of the first month of the new year, Zhuge Liang visited various homes in Jingzhou by car, not only to visit the old people to appease their emotions, but also to spread the marriage of Guan Xing, and strive to directly find a suitable virtuous woman, or let the right woman take the initiative to appear.

If you don't let the wind out, how can the fish take the bait?

But many people around recommended Ma Liang's daughter, the girl who was confiscated into the palace and protected by the queen mother's side.

I have to admit that Ma Liang's daughter is only fair-looking, but has a relatively long and healthy body; At the same time, the family education is deep and has a long heritage, and Zhuge Liang grew up, so he naturally knows that he has a demure personality and is a good match for a while.

If Ma Liang is alive, it is very likely that this daughter will marry the young man Jun Yan that Ma Liang himself has found...... It doesn't matter what the other party is, as long as they are good-looking, they are talented, they have an open-minded temperament, and they can treat people gently.

Zhuge Liang naturally knew Ma Liang's request to recruit his son-in-law...... Ma Liang wanted to marry his daughter to Zhuge Qiao.

It's a pity that Zhuge Qiao, who likes painting, likes another woman who is good at painting, so much so that a tragedy is formed, which allows the intensity of the situation to grow, and indirectly pushes the gears of the civil war.

Zhuge Liang is also familiar with this kind of marriage.

When the daughters of Xiang Lang and Xiang Pet families were sent to celebrate the Spring Festival to the Queen Mother in Yongle Palace, they knocked on the side to ask Ma Liang's widow.

After getting the answer here, it remains to be Ma Yan.

No matter how good the relationship with Ma Jian is, this kind of marriage is a big event...... It is inconvenient for people with foreign surnames to directly intervene and meddle.

After dredging Ma Liang's wife, Zhuge Liang traveled to Maicheng during the Spring Festival vacation, that is, to meet with Ma Jian to discuss this long-term marriage; It is also to observe the industrial development trend around Maicheng nearby.

Maicheng is the source of Beifu, regardless of the governance measures of Lingnan, or the various measures of Nanyang and Guanzhong, you can see the shadow of Maicheng.

Even if this place has been abandoned by Tian Xin, and even the Orange Grove Pavilion has been transferred to Zhang Ji, the people left behind in Maicheng still have an activity of culture, handicrafts, agriculture and animal husbandry.

In Maicheng, in the teahouse of the third neighborhood on the left, Zhuge Liang stood at the window in the cubicle on the second floor and looked out to the west, and on the west side of the frustrated water was an endless field of emerald green rape flowers.

It is not yet the season for rape flowers to bloom in Jiangbei, and it will take more than ten days to wait.

At that time, the rape flowers all over the mountains are in full bloom, and the sight is either rising clouds and mist, or golden rape fields.

Hu Ji, the chief bookkeeper, stood in front of the screen holding a folder with Beifu characteristics, telling the summary of today's investigation.

Because Maicheng is located between Fushui and Zhangshui, there is a shortage of building land, so after the city wall is demolished, seven neighborhoods on the left and three on the right (left, west, right and east) are formed, and the north of these seven neighborhoods is the mulberry field of Maicheng, and the mulberry hemp of a hundred hectares is planted.

Because of the orange grove pavilion and military camp built by Zhangshui in the east, Maicheng has one more neighborhood than the west.

As a result, only six neighbourhoods actually have normal town commercial operations; Handicraft industries around papermaking, textiles, and woodworking are still thriving here.

Merchants, workers, peasants, and mountain dwellers are all profit-seeking; Driven by interests, after the transfer of the skilled workers managed by the Northern Prefecture, the people who remained restored their original industries.

It's just that due to the loss of Beifu's technical guidance, resource tilt support, and official protection, the development speed of Maicheng is still not as good as it was then, but it is still proud of the surrounding counties.

Even the current six neighborhoods still maintain the management regulations of the year.

For example, the teahouse at Zhuge Liang's feet is only allowed to have one teahouse in each neighborhood...... Tea houses are like this, hotels, women's houses, blacksmith workshops and all kinds of grocery stores, all have a limited number; In a neighborhood, there is generally only one shop of the same type, and some food shops, vegetable stalls, garment shops, and pharmacies that are related to the lives of residents are not restricted.

Zhuge Liang listened carefully and came to the conclusion at the first time: there is only one service industry in each neighborhood that all outsiders will be involved in.

This is very important, because these outsiders are engaged in activities in a fixed area and are subject to management, so they will naturally be able to detect and prevent outsiders from doing things.

From Maicheng County to the formation of seven neighborhoods, it took more than a year before and after.

A top-down order hangs over the city; Even if the maker of order has left, the cohesion brought by this order still makes Maicheng full of vitality.

At that time, Tian Xin, who took over the wheat city, enlisted in the army for less than a year, and established the wheat city from the ruins and barrenness.

For example, the taxis in the state and county today, who doesn't know the blank paper in Wheat City? Loom?

"Wei Du now sees the old politics left by Maicheng, what is his vision."

Zhuge Liang didn't turn around, looking into the distance, feeling quite happy in his heart...... There is also a large area of rape flowers, which are the main crops interplanted and rotated with wheat and beans.

The oil extracted through the oil mill has become an indispensable and important oil in the daily life of Jiangdu officials and merchants.

Stews have been replaced by stir-fried dishes, and the times have undergone great innovations and changes from daily diets.

It's a pity that many people eat fried delicacies and ignore this personal change.

Hu Ji replied without thinking: "Chen Gong has been disobeying etiquette and education for a long time, and now looking at the old politics of Maicheng, it can be seen that Chen Gong has won the true inheritance of the Legalists. I am deeply glad that my subordinates have judged the situation and assessed the situation. ”

How can a person who has won the essence of Legalism be a soft-hearted person?

In this regard, Zhuge Liang turned to look at Hu Ji, and said with great satisfaction: "After the beginning of spring, I intend to send a group of young Junyan into Guanzhong to observe politics and study Chen Gong's political measures. Weidu is my confidant and should lead by example. ”

Faced with this somewhat embarrassing request, Hu Ji thought about it, and then gave his hand: "I am willing to go." ”
