Chapter 56: The Lu Family
"Fengxiao, what's the matter again!"
Looking at Guo Jia who appeared in front of him again, Yuan Shu was a little helpless.
Guo Jia also felt a little embarrassed, after all, every time he appeared recently, it seemed to bring some trouble.
Yuan Shu was busy with government affairs that seemed to never be able to be handled.
In the past, Yuan Shu always felt that as a superior person, what was there to be busy? Wouldn't it be better to leave everything to the following professionals? To be a monarch, you only need to grasp the direction of military power and power, and learn to use people.
But I didn't expect to find that there are so many things to do now!
Yangzhou is now in its infancy, and Yuan Shu wants to carry out most of the political affairs at the same time at the beginning, and improve the entire Jiangdong system as soon as possible, so the stall is too big, and most of them are initiated by Yuan Shu to surpass the construction plan of this era, even if Zhang Zhao is smart, there are many incomprehensible places, Yuan Shu has to personally handle it, and constantly give some direction and suggestions to his internal affairs talents.
For example, what Yuan Shu is dealing with now is the large-scale farm plan that kept Zhang Hong busy at the beginning.
At this time, Yangzhou was not the land of fish and rice in the future, and it was mostly swampy wetlands and hills, which were not suitable for farming and grazing at all.
In the area along the Yangtze River, there are many plains for the people to cultivate fields.
The plan of the large-scale farm that Yuan Shu kept Zhang Hong busy clearly marked the key points, mainly breeding chickens, ducks and pigs, and a small amount of other such as cattle and sheep. The breeding method must be captive.
On the one hand, cattle and sheep are scarce and expensive, and on the other hand, they need relatively large grasslands for breeding.
There are not so many places to raise cattle and sheep in Jiangdong, it is more cost-effective to raise pigs, there are few places needed, and there is not much technical content and not much manpower wasted.
However, even though Yuan Shu had written the details of captivity very clearly, and also wrote clearly the method of castrating piglets to subtract the smell and promote the growth of pigs, Zhang Hong was still a little confused.
Yuan Shu had no choice but to rewrite this thing in more detail now, and all aspects had to be mentioned.
As for how exactly is it best to castrate a pig? How do I know about this thing? Won't you find a few pig-killing experiments? Brainless?
In short, Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao, these talents made Yuan Shucheng a little suspicious of life.
originally thought that he was a great man in governing the country, but some of the government affairs in a single state were not captured?
As a result, I didn't expect these tasks assigned by Yuan Shu to be so complicated, several people were busy every day, and they had to ask Yuan Shu for help from time to time.
Originally, this kind of top internal affairs talent who was enough to easily take charge of the affairs of a state, Yuan Shu had four plus three first-class people, and he couldn't even keep himself busy in Yangzhou.
It can only be said that Yuan Shu's management is too meticulous, and it is even better to quickly develop Jiangdong, which is relatively backward now, into the land of fish and rice in the future.
Some time ago, he just disposed of the Zhang family and Shanyue's group of people, and Yuan Shu is now busy all day long because of these things and political affairs, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to come again now.
Yuan Shu felt that Guo Jia's nickname should not be called Ghost Cai, but should be called Crow!
In addition to not dropping the chain at critical moments, usually appearing in front of Yuan Shu means that something unlucky is about to happen.
For example, there was another flood in that place, and there were Shanyue people robbing in that place, and the Huang family came to make trouble again.
After this happened more than ten times, Yuan Shu was no longer able to complain, and he really wanted to call Xun You, who was busy with political affairs, back, so as not to have a crow's mouth attack every day.
Seeing Yuan Shu's disgust and helplessness, Guo Jia could only smile awkwardly and politely: "Lord, what Jia brought this time is not bad news. ”
Yuan Shu rolled his eyes, you continue to pretend, you have said this no less than ten times.
Guo Jia is also very helpless about his talent, but he still has to do what he should do: "Lord, Lu Kang, the head of the Lu family, will celebrate his sixtieth birthday in three days, and he will have a banquet in the mansion, and he sent an invitation to the lord, I don't know if the lord has time." ”
Putting away the joke, Yuan Shu gently touched the beard on his chin: "Oh? The old fox's sixtieth birthday. ”
He groaned for a while: "Since he invited, then I'll go and stabilize the hearts of the families by the way." The chicken has been killed, the monkey has been exemplified, and it is time to appease him. Feng Xiao, help me prepare a gift, and come with me when the time comes. ”
Guo Jia nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, Yuan Shu seemed to think of something: "Zhang Xun's body was sent to his son, right?" ”
Guo Jia nodded: "It was sent over five days ago." ”
Yuan Shu said with some regret: "Zhang Xun is really a masterpiece, it's a pity." However, his favors, General Ben remembered, in the future, if he unified Jingzhou, I would also take care of one or two of their Zhang family. ”
Guo Jia smiled and nodded: "The lord is really kind, compared to Zhang Hyunquan, he will be grateful to the lord if he is knowledgeable." ”
"What a pity! Such a character! Yuan Shu sighed softly.
"I don't know what Lu Kang's old fox looked like when he knew the news of Zhang Hyun's death by suicide? Is it happy or sad? These two old foxes, they have been fighting all their lives, and they were put together by the other party, Lu Kang, that old man, should be a little unhappy in his heart! ”
Guo Jia shook his head gently: "I have been deceived by the other party for a lifetime, and everyone will be unhappy." But maybe Lu Kang didn't know all this, maybe he just wanted to help this old friend who had been fighting all his life one last time. ”
After hearing this, Yuan Shu was shocked, and after a moment of silence, he sighed: "These old foxes! It's really better than the other, no one can be underestimated, I'm really still too bad! ”
Guo Jia smiled slightly: "My lord, this is wise and foolish, what if they are a little clever?" Haven't you been crushed to death by the general power of the lord? Intrigue is the way after all, and the general trend is the king! ”
Yuan Shu smiled undeniably: "That being said, these conspiracies and tricks can't be underestimated!" If you are not careful, you may be planted on these unseemly means. ”
"I'm really looking forward to meeting that old fox more and more. Fengxiao, when the time comes, you must arrange the intelligence work, it seems that the Huang family has made some small moves recently, right? ”
Guo Jia nodded lightly: "Well, they seem to want to assassinate the lord." Some of the families in Koto also seemed to have secretly offered some help, but they did not dare to participate in it themselves. ”
"They just want to prove their power and existence, so as not to underestimate me. These old foxes, one is better than the other. ”
Yuan Shu sneered in his heart, I really thought I was Sun Ce in history! Can you do it?
Yuan Shu casually handed Guo Jia a note: "This is a list of some ill-intentioned spies in my house, you deal with it secretly, remember not to startle the snake." ”
Guo Jia took the note with a little surprise, glanced at it and was shocked, and quickly put it away.
"Lord, then Jia will retire."
Yuan Shu snorted lightly and continued to deal with his political affairs.
Guo Jia slowly retreated to the door, and when he closed the door, he gave Yuan Shu a solemn look.
My lord, I'm afraid your talent is more than what you say!
But what does that have to do with me? Isn't the stronger the lord and the more worry-free he is?
Smiling self-deprecatingly, Guo Jia began to think about how to deal with the people on the list handed over by Yuan Shu.
