After Yuan Yao arrived outside the Saiwai, everything was different again, Yuan Yao personally went to various places, severely punished the officials who did not act and neglected political affairs, and at the same time promoted some diligent and enterprising talents, at the same time, after visiting many areas, in order to dispel the fear of the migrants in these areas to the officials, he also personally promoted the three elders who were born as migrants, and the lowest officials such as the Li Jian Men also mostly used local residents.

He supported a large number of officials here, and even personally went to the field to inform many methods of farming, so to speak, after arriving here for two whole months, he has not rested for a day, he may not have the talent of Zhuge Linggong, but he is younger than Zhuge Linggong, he can withstand the toss, after being so busy for two months, the rule of the officials outside the Saiwai can be described as a new look.

He was very gentle with the people of this place on weekdays, and asked the officials not to rebuke them for no reason, and he was to carry out a gentle policy here, and when he personally led people to clear the snow on the ground, and brought the support of the temple to these people's homes, those hateful eyes dissipated a lot, but there were still some suspicious eyes.

These people give us food, don't they want us to work?

Subsequently, Yuan Yao found a group of doctors to treat the injured people for free, and ordered the Yuan family to send a batch of cotton clothes for cold protection, which were given to the people here.

In the autumn of the twenty-first year of Jianning, the first batch of grain finally grew outside the Saiwai, looking at the elated appearance of those people, Yuan Yao took them and held a lively party, everyone ate meat together, these people came from all over the world, some came from overseas, some came from the local area, some came from Guishan, and there were prisoners from the Central Plains, all kinds of people, but they were tightly gathered together by Yuan Yao.

Watching their various dances and listening to all kinds of songs, Yuan Yao finally showed a knowing smile.

Even, there were foreigners outside the Sai who took the initiative to come to move in, and for the first batch of people who came to move in, Yuan Yao also showed the highest kindness, giving food and warm clothes, which can be regarded as a thousand dollars to buy horse bones.

Back in the humble study, Yuan Yao wrote his own family letter, and he wrote one every month.

"Yao asked if Grandma was okay? After my brother sent me off, I have been here for more than three months, after the children have been busy for three months, the people outside the Saiwai are happy, although they are not rich, but no one has frozen to death, no one is starving, they are not like the officials who hated the Han as they were at the beginning, four days ago, there were people who sent me a sheep, I could not refuse, so I invited this family to come to the county office, and everyone ate together..."

"The child misses his mother so much... Over the years, whether overseas or outside Cyprus, I have not disobeyed my father's teachings, I have never been afraid, I have a good heart, I have helped everyone in need, I have never bullied anyone, I have achieved integrity and justice, and I have never treated others differently... Only the father's task of taking care of the mother, the child could not complete it..."

"Please forgive the child for not being filial and not being by my mother's side... After the child was busy here, when the outside of the plug was a little calmer, he immediately went to see his mother... Please don't worry about the mother, the child will not dare to disgrace the father. ”

....

In August of the same year

Yingchuan Jing out of the double dragon, only to see the two yellow dragons soar away, a moment later, the sky is dark.

Just when Zhuge Liang was sitting in the study, busy with important things, suddenly someone spoke, a guest came to visit, Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, he didn't want to pick up guests, the Son of Heaven insisted on conquering Guishan, these days, Zhuge Liang's eyes on the northwest of Liangxi, of course, Liangzhou has now been divided into Liangzhou and Yongzhou, as for Xizhou, it is divided into Xiting Prefecture and Yongzhou, to be precise, there are now four states in the northwest region.

Zhuge Liang not only had to overhaul water conservancy in these areas, so that these areas could have sufficient food reserves to deal with the war, but also to build overhaul roads here to ensure that all kinds of materials could be transported to the battlefield.

He even exempted these areas from forced labor in recent years, and the great construction was done to the people of the rest of the region, because, after a year, they might have to serve a long period of forced labor, which was a time of rest.

That is, Zhuge Liang, if he is a different person, in the face of the various policies being implemented in the country, as well as the preparation for the war, he can't spread the pressure of the war too much in the northwest states, these series of things are enough for Shang Shuling to be busy, however, these days, Zhuge Liang is still able to handle the affairs of various places in an orderly manner, and he also promoted a large number of officials to go to Saiwai and the northwest region respectively.

He interfered so much with the transfer of officials, so that the temple ministers were a little dissatisfied, the Son of Heaven also heard a lot of rumors about Zhuge Liang, everyone called these young capable officials promoted by Zhuge Liang "Shangshu faction", this is already provoking the relationship between the Son of Heaven and Shangshu Ling, however, the Son of Heaven's trust in Zhuge Liang has not been reduced, what is surprising is that it is the prince, and he has repeatedly declared his support for Zhuge Linggong.

Everyone didn't know what medicine Zhuge Liang fed the prince, which made the prince admire him so much, but this made Zhuge Liang's position more solid, ordinary, and no one dared to say bad things about him to the Son of Heaven anymore.

Zhuge Liang frowned and asked, "Who is here?" ”

"The person who came claimed to be the son of Xun Linggong, Xun Xu."

"He?? Let him in! Zhuge Liang remembered something, and said hurriedly, he frowned, hoping that he was wrong... Xun Shu quickly walked into the study, his eyes were red and swollen, obviously he had been crying for a long time, he bowed to him, "Zhuge Linggong, my father asked me to come, I hope Zhuge Linggong can go to the mansion with me...", Zhuge Liang glanced at him a few times, no nonsense, dropped the pen in his hand, got up and walked out with him.

The servants quickly prepared the carriage and horses, Zhuge Liang took Xun Shu to get into the carriage together, and rushed towards Xun Mansion, Zhuge Liang looked at Xun Xu, who was constantly crying in front of him, and was silent for a long time, before asking: "Xun Linggong... What's going on? ”

"Father coughed all night... The forehead is hot and delirious... Doctor's Words... Prepare for the future. As Xun Shu spoke, tears continued to drip down, Zhuge Liang pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

The carriage rushed to Xun's mansion, most of the servants here were also uneasy, I don't know what to say, Xun Xu took Zhuge Liang into the inner room in a hurry, Xun Linggong was lying on the sickbed, surrounded by a group of busy doctors, they seemed to be a little helpless against Xun Linggong, Xun Yu hurriedly stepped forward, held Xun Yu's hand, and shouted: "Father... Father.. Zhuge Linggong is here... Open your eyes and see! ”

"The boy called him!"

With Xun Xu's call, the old man slowly opened his eyes, he turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang hurriedly stepped forward and asked worriedly: "Ling Gong, how is your body?" I've already sent someone to find a famous doctor..."

Xun Yu didn't say anything, just smiled and looked at Zhuge Liang in front of him, "Kong Ming...."

"I'm here."

"Dahan... How is it going... There can be big... Disaster? ”

"Returning to Linggong, the Han Dynasty is peaceful all over the world, there has never been any disaster, this year's arable land is three times more than the previous year, the temple is full of treasury this time, and the grain collected is nearly two billion stones.. I personally promoted some capable ministers and built four canals in Jingzhou, and I plan to complete the construction of Cao Situ's former canals and build water conservancy in the surrounding areas, which is conducive to the development of local agriculture and mulberry..."

Zhuge Liang talked about the situation of the Han Dynasty, some of them were right, some of them were false, "There was a civil strife in Guishan, and their king wanted to surrender to Cheng, so he sent a messenger... I am persuading the Son of Heaven to support this man and obtain the Kushan in his name... By the way, now the prince is also quite filial piety, and the people love him, I have sent Yuan Yao to the outside of the Saiwai, Yuan Yao is doing very well, and he is already self-sufficient this year..."

The old man's face was full of smiles, and he listened to Zhuge Liang's narration, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

"Well... That's good..."

"Dahan... It's over to you.. Don't..."

A tear crossed the corner of the old man's eyes, he still couldn't finish this instruction, gradually, he didn't move, but his face was full of smiles, Xun Shu cried, knelt on the ground, crying heartbreakingly, Zhuge Liang looked at the deceased Xun Linggong sluggishly, and slowly said:

"The future generations will definitely live up to the entrustment of the public."

When Zhuge Liang walked out of the inner room, the air flashed and thundered, as if there was a giant dragon, constantly hovering in the air, black and oppressive dark clouds, followed by a downpour, raindrops, intertwined with the cry in the house, as if the whole world was crying for the death of a virtuous man, Zhuge Liang stood in the rain, looking up at the sky.

At this moment, perhaps, Xun Linggong has been taken to Heaven by Huanglong?

And Zhuge Liang is even more worried about this news, how to tell the Son of Heaven, Zhuge Liang knows that the Son of Heaven likes and dislikes Xun Linggong, likes his ability, his loyalty, dislikes his outspokenness, and hates his stubbornness, to be honest, the Son of Heaven regards Xun Linggong as an elder, as his own dependence, every time, when the Son of Heaven can't make up his mind, the first thing that comes to mind is this Xun Linggong.

Alas... The Son of Heaven's health is getting worse and worse.

Zhuge Liang shook his head a little helplessly, and then rushed towards the palace firmly.

"Hahaha, you stupid thing that can't do agriculture!! Why did you keep me waiting so long? I've got the wine ready, come with me?? ”

"Okay."
