In the sixth year of the Heavenly Age, spring

Liu Qu is still doing his own thing, or ignoring government affairs, however, it seems that Zhuge Linggong has long expected this scene, after his death, the government affairs of the temple are also running normally, and he did not suffer setbacks because of his death and because of the negligence of the Son of Heaven.

If there is no such system, perhaps after his death, when Shang Shutai has no power, Pang Tong will try his best to obtain greater power to implement his own set of policies, and no one in the temple can resist him, but with this retirement system, Pang Tong will leave his position this autumn and return to his hometown, which makes Pang Tong have no heart to think of what to implement new policies.

He wanted to cultivate a few heirs, but the best young people in the Han Dynasty seemed to have been held by Zhuge Liang and Liu Yi early, and he had no chance to intervene at all, Zhong Changtong was also facing such a dilemma, therefore, the two often went to Taixue and Menzixue, just to see if there were young people who were enough to inherit their ambitions, but unfortunately, after looking for so long, they didn't find it.

Sitting in the hall, the three orders sat on the top respectively, Pang Tong slowly said: "The affairs of the cultural government, this year officially operated, has been set up with sixteen county printing offices, the people also spontaneously appeared six printing offices, they reviewed the books this year, you can also see, there are indeed extraordinary, in addition to the classics, there are many stories and books in circulation... Yuan servant shoots...", Pang Tong said, looking at Yuan Yao on the side.

Yuan Yao stood up and said seriously: "According to the different types of books, the Cultural Government divides them into classics, the so-called classics are the interpretation of Confucian classics, and there are histories, such as the historical records of Taishi Gong, there are books, popular books for folk circulation, there are popular, it is the explanation of the craftsmanship and medical skills of the criminal law of agriculture and mulberry, and it is the education of the common people, there are poems, which do not need to be explained, there are songs, and the singers will play the law of the folk play...."

The ministers listened carefully, starting from Emperor Xiaokang, the Han Dynasty has made great progress in the industry of agriculture and mulberry, smelting, and even in the business of merchants, and today's Han Dynasty, cultivated countless land, from Ningzhou's Saiwai to the fertile soil of Guishuang, everywhere is the cultivated land of the Han Dynasty, and even, after the renewal of excellent farming tools, the increase and promotion of ploughing cattle, and the emergence of new types of plants, the strength of the Han Dynasty today is far more than in the past.

Nowadays, the grain produced in Jizhou is enough to be compared with the grain production in the Jianning period, which can already see how terrible the strength of the Han Dynasty is to produce mulberry, and today's agricultural mulberry is still constantly improving, mainly through water conservancy projects, officials around the country want to obtain political achievements, they must do something, build water conservancy, and it has become the most enthusiastic about the officials, so the ministers do not have to pay too much attention to the affairs of agriculture.

As for the smelting technology, after Mazi, the instant rise, the new smelting technology, the continuous emergence of factories, coupled with the increasing demand for iron weapons and agricultural tools, so that the iron production of the Han Dynasty is also rising rapidly, and the final business, it is needless to say, from the western foreign trade road of Guishan, the overseas trade road on the coast, and even the relaxed treatment of merchants in China, the strength of the Han has reached a peak.

In this case, the ministers' energy is also focused on the official learning and education, the official school has experienced the development of these years, and has done very well, but this cultural education, but now it is still at the starting point, and has not been able to achieve too many achievements, however, when today, for the development of Han culture, it has played a huge role, the Son of Heaven is greedy to play, he always plays in various places, likes to watch those plays, likes to read those popular books, likes to ride horses and archery, swordsmanship competitions.

These naturally led to the development of the Han Dynasty's own culture, and there was an active civil and military culture in various places, and the ministers felt the help from the Son of Heaven for the first time.

"If you can hold a few activities like the ceremony, it is also excellent, however, it is best not to have everyone come to Luoyang to celebrate every time, it is best to set it as a folk way, if you set a time for the horse day, this day, let the Han people rest for a day, you can ride horses, crisscross all over the place, you can also set a reading day...", the young Yuan Yao, in the face of the ministers, did not have any timidity.

Even, after Shijun left, this originally frizzy young man suddenly grew up in one day, his face was calm, no matter what he was talking about, he was not shocked, like Zhuge Linggong, particularly convincing, the old ministers in the temple were disdainful of Yuan Yao's seemingly absurd proposals, but there are not many old ministers now, and there are more young people like Yuan Yao in the temple.

Most of them are around forty years old, and this age is naturally young in the temple.

These people are still relatively able to accept such a proposal, after Yuan Yao finished saying this, he looked at Pang Tong, waiting for Pang Tong's ruling, Pang Tong looked at Yuan Xi on the side, and asked, "What does Yuan Linggong think?" ”

Hearing his inquiry, everyone was stunned, alas, no one thought that the world's crown family, after more than ten years of decline, once again became the first family, in the hall, they occupied three places, Shang Shu Ling Yuan Xi, the cultural servant shot Yuan Yao, pointed to the embroidered clothes Yuan Shang, the sixth world and the third duke, and what is even more terrifying is that Yuan Yao's age has been able to sit here and discuss affairs with them.

If it is not bad as expected, in more than ten years, he will definitely be able to succeed Sanling, and by that time... The ministers' hearts were suddenly a little complicated, and some people looked at Cao Chong and others with ill intentions, in the temple, not counting the Liu family, there are four major families, of which the Yuan family is the first, the Cao family is only behind, the Cao family is only behind, the Cao family is the five tigers, and it is not to be underestimated, and then there is the Zhuge family, the twin sons shine, the title is extremely high, and the last one is the Sun family.

However, the Sun family is vaguely declining, Sun Ce has returned to his hometown, and Sun Quan doesn't know if he can sit in the position of the three orders, and the rest of the sons.... There was no growth, and he still lingered in the position of two thousand stones, and he couldn't take a step forward.

Hearing Pang Tong's inquiry, Yuan Xi thought about it seriously, he was fair in his work, and he would never be partial because of Yuan Yao's relationship with himself, he said: "As long as it does not delay the agricultural season and does not affect the normal order, it is feasible, it is completely feasible to cultivate the courage of the people and let them study more." After he finished speaking, the other ministers discussed for a long time before finally proceeding to a general vote.

Yuan Yao walked out of the hall with a smile, there is no doubt that his proposal has been voted on, Zhuge Ke followed behind him, now Yuan Yao, although he is a member of the Yuan family, he is still counted in the Zhuge party, Zhuge This faction is not strong, there are Liu Ba, Deng Ai, Ma Jun, Yuan Yao, Cao Zhi, Zhuge Ke and others, whether it is an old minister, or in a young force, they can crush other forces, there is only one problem, they do not have a common leader now.

If it is headed by Yuan Yao, then Liu Ba, Deng Ai, and Ma Jun, should they also be headed by him? This is obviously not feasible, among the old ministers, Ma Jun has the highest prestige, but he is now in a half-old state, he has no official status, but is only responsible for supervising the Gongfu, which makes this faction very embarrassed, Zhuge Ke followed Yuan Yao's side, Zhuge Ke and Zhuge Zhan are willing to be led by Yuan Yao.

"Yuan Jun..."

Zhuge Ke opened his mouth and shouted.

"Huh? Yuan Xun? Yuan Yao didn't notice that Zhuge Ke had been following behind him, and he was also taken aback, Zhuge Ke walked to his side, his face was a little solemn, and he said: "Today's temples are really far inferior to before. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"If you want me to say, Yuan Jun should serve as the Shangshu Order, Deng Jun should serve as the Zhongshu Order, and Liu Fujiao should serve as the Zhongshu Order!" , Zhuge Ke said, his face was vaguely annoyed, "The entire temple has stagnated, since the death of my uncle, they have lost their motivation, no one is willing to continue to fight, my uncle once said, no merit is too much, what they are doing now, I am really sorry for the big man, sorry for Your Majesty!" ”

Zhuge Ke looked at Yuan Yao feverishly, and said seriously: "I know that Yuan Jun is the only great sage who has inherited his uncle's talents, if my brother does not give up, I am willing to follow my brother, serve as the third order, continue my uncle's many policies, build canals in all places in the Han Dynasty, let all the gallops be renovated, and plant grain outside all the plugs!" It's not like now, the ministers are sluggish, and just a matter of edification has to be discussed for two hours!! ”

Yuan Yao was a little frightened, looking at Zhuge Ke, he was silent for a moment before he said: "Yuan Xun, I understand your thoughts, but only Shijun can do such a thing, if we follow suit, we will definitely fall to pieces..."

"Someone has to try, can't our generation inherit my uncle's legacy?!" , Zhuge Ke asked in surprise.

Yuan Yao stopped, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"Pang Tong is old, Yuan Xi is unbearable, Your Majesty is very fond of our Zhuge faction, after Pang Tong leaves, I am ready to meet the Son of Heaven, let Deng Jun take over Pang Tong's position, and then through the Zhongtai Conference, impeach Yuan Xi's inaction, play the Son of Heaven, let your brother serve as Shang Shuling! At that time, we will be able to continue many of my uncle's great plans! The Han world needs an uncle's successor, and it needs to continue to expand and develop! To rest on your laurels is to perish! ”

Yuan Yao was stunned for a long time, and then said gently: "Yuan Xun, I understand you very well, but you are still young, but your ideas are a little radical, we hold that position, it may not be better than what Ling Gong has to do now, governing a big country, the last thing is to be reckless, not to mention, you do this, this is... It will cause fear... You'll understand later..", he said, patting Zhuge Ke on the shoulder.

Zhuge Ke stared at Yuan Yao's eyes, and finally lowered his head, "Brother is right. ”

"Don't worry, sooner or later, we will govern the Han together, and the Han will become stronger! The people will be richer! Yuan Yao said, turning around and leaving here.

Zhuge Ke stood in place, not moving for a long time, and suddenly, he raised his head, his eyes red.

"Uncle... Even if you are crushed... I will not let these mediocre people trample on your achievements..."
