An ordinary carriage is heading towards the city gate, the carriage looks very ordinary, even a little shabby, the driver is just an old man, missing an arm, there is no knight and the like around him, among the vehicles coming and going, it seems very ordinary, in front of the gate of Luoyang City, all kinds of carriages can be seen, there are high-wheeled carriages from the Western Regions, there are also open back seats, ox carts that move slowly.

Jia Xu sat in the carriage, occasionally looking out from the curtain, after many years, the changes in Luoyang became more and more huge, he was a little unrecognizable, all kinds of carriages, donkey carts, and even ox carts, and even all kinds of pedestrians of different appearances, even the yellow-haired and blue-eyed Hu people were standing on the side of the road, selling in skilled Yayan, Jia Xu secretly glanced at it, these guys were selling all kinds of fruits on the side of the road.

Jia Xu doesn't know how they save the fruit until this season, but in winter, the allure of the fruit is obviously very strong, attracting the attention of many pedestrians, Luoyang is definitely a different city, under the continuous construction of several generations, this city has become the Han, or the largest city in the known world, many Western travelers, don't even know the name of the Han, but know this city called Luoyang.

The number of people in Luoyang has exceeded the total number of some foreign states, the city continues to increase, but the increase in population far exceeds the increase in the city, and finally, Henan Yin Zhuge Jin still plays His Majesty, hoping that the city gate of Luoyang can be opened all year round, Liu Xi did not object, there is a northern army stationed outside Luoyang, and there is no field, even if the thieves are these, it is basically impossible to make trouble around Luoyang.

The city gates all over Luoyang, from this moment on, are open day and night, the curfew system is also described as a fiction in Luoyang, and even, the night of Luoyang is more lively than the day, the lanterns everywhere, can illuminate Luoyang into a city that never sleeps, the number of traders is increasing, when the city content is not less than them, the road outside the city, it has become the place where they do business, a number of houses are established outside the city, the entire Henan Yin, almost is crowded with crowds, the county orders of the surrounding counties are a little panicked, they feel that they are going to be annexed by Luoyang!

Jia Xu sat in the carriage, looked at the scenes outside, and sighed, if it weren't for the danger of Luoyang, this should be the most suitable place for him to settle down, a good place for everything, but unfortunately, it's a pity, at this time, Jia Xu occasionally remembered Cui Yu's words, Cui Yu once said, wanted to demolish the city wall of Luoyang... Today, Jia Xu only understood what he meant, if Luoyang continues to develop like this, I am afraid that this city wall will become an urn city...

Jia Xu was thinking about it, but the carriage stopped suddenly, fortunately, the carriage was not moving fast, and Jia Xu only stumbled a little, and there was no big problem, Jia Xu was a little suspicious, no, isn't it more than ten miles away from the city gate? Why did the city wall be built so quickly?? Jia Xu was suspicious, frowned, listened carefully, and heard the groom speak: "Jia Gong... It seems that someone has come to greet you..."

Well??

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment before stepping out of the carriage.

As soon as Jia Xu got off the carriage, he heard everyone's worship, "Meet Jia Gong!" Jia Xu turned his head and looked ahead, only to see a lot of officials standing in front of him, but most of these people were young people, he didn't know them at all, these people still bowed down and didn't get up for a long time, Jia Xu then said: "Everyone, please get up..."

Everyone got up, when they got up, their eyes were staring at Jia Xu tightly, their eyes revealed enthusiasm and cordiality, Jia Xu was very uncomfortable, he didn't know why these people came, and even, he didn't know these people, but he still paid attention in his heart, no matter why these people came, he had to be vigilant, those who came were not good, and those who were good did not come, Jia Xu was thinking, and the handsome young man at the head stepped forward.

"Jia Gong, in Xia Zhuge Liang, the word Kong Ming, the position of Da Honglu!"

The young people behind him also introduced themselves, they were all young officials in the court, Jia Xu nodded, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Liu Gong's disciple, yes, yes, they are already Dahonglu, presumably Liu Gong learned about it, and his heart was also extremely happy...", hearing his words, Zhuge Liang was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "Jia Gong knows that my teacher is also?" Jia Xu nodded and said, "Some friendship." ”

Zhuge Liang laughed and asked Jia Xu to get into the carriage, everyone followed around him, and even some officials wanted to drive for him, which made Jia Xu a little frightened, what are these people going to do, kill them?? Jia Xu thought in his heart, lowered his head, showing a feeling of old dragon clock, Zhuge Liang walked beside him, and he could be seen from the curtain of the car, Jia Xu looked very old, rickety, and very thin.

Thinking that the old man of this age was still working hard for the Han in that bitter cold place in Xizhou, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but feel a little more admiration in his heart.

The group came to the city gate, and the soldiers at the city gate naturally knew these officials of the court, and when they saw that they were all escorting the carriage, where did they dare to check it, and immediately let them go, and when they entered Luoyang City, the speed of the carriage slowed down, and Zhuge Liang asked: "Jia Gong, do you want to go to the palace, or do you want to rest for a few days?" Jia Xu coughed and said, "I've been gone for a few months, and I'm a little tired, so I'd better rest for a day..."

Zhuge Liang naturally had no objection, and immediately took Jia Xu to a courtyard, which is usually used to welcome the envoy's guests, but now to Jia Xu for a few days, there is nothing wrong with it, entering the courtyard, Zhuge Liang personally helped Jia Xu, entered the house, and arranged everything, everyone then retreated, but Zhuge Liang stayed, and the two sat in the guest room, neither of them spoke.

"Jia Gong... You're tired..."It was Zhuge Liang who was the first to speak, Jia Xu shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm tired, it's just that at my age, alas, I really can't stand such a hard time, I won't hide it from you, recently, my body is getting worse and worse, no one supports me, I can't even walk on the road, and sometimes, I always forget things..."Jia Xu said, Zhuge Liang was stunned, and asked with some concern:

"I know a famous doctor, but do you want to ask Jia Gong to take a look?"

"Okay.. I'll take a look at it after I've rested for a few days..."

"Jia Gong, we invited you to Luoyang from Xizhou, but we didn't think about it, and it really made you suffer, but now there is a vacancy in the position of Si Nong, and no one in the temple can hold it, except for Jia Gong, there is no more suitable candidate, Jia Gong's everything, I know everything, Jia Gong is a great and virtuous minister..."Zhuge Liang Chen praised, Jia Xu's face was really indescribably weird, is this guy praising me, or is he sarcastic about me? ?

Jia Xu said helplessly: "Too good, too good, at my age, I don't know if I can do a good job..."

"Jia Gong, don't be humble! I have read the detailed report of Xizhou, and I really admire Jia Gong's talent, so I am also playing Your Majesty and asking Your Majesty to please return to Jia Gong!! Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

Jia Xu raised his head sharply and stared at Zhuge Liang in front of him.

What a shaft!! It turned out to be you!!

I said that I stayed well in Xizhou, why did I suddenly receive a letter from the Son of Heaven and return to Luoyang, it turned out to be you, I have no grievances with you, why do you need to treat me like this?! Jia Xu was very angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, because from Zhuge Liang's words, he already understood that this person was definitely today's henchman, Jia Xu showed a kind face, and said with a smile: "Then I really thank Lang Jun..."

"Jia Gong, don't be polite!"

"Hehehe..."

"Jia Gong, I still have a lot of things I want to ask, but unfortunately, I have to go to Jingnan according to His Majesty's orders, I have never governed the place, Jia Gong is in Xizhou all the year round, I don't know what advice? I hope Jia Gong will teach! Zhuge Liang asked sincerely, his eyes were full of eagerness, Jia Xu took a deep breath, and asked with a smile, "Are you going to Jingnan?" What a place... Well, I teach you, and you have to listen carefully..."

"Thank you Jia Gong, I hope Jia Gong will teach me!"

"To govern the place, the most important thing to solve is the local clan, Jing Nan thinks the same, but most of the officials, after arriving in the place, will severely punish the local clans and strong, in order to gain the support of the people, to distribute their wealth to the people, so that the local governance... Do you think so? Jia Xu asked, Zhuge Liang nodded with some confusion, and said: "Most ministers, it's all like this, I think the same way, what's wrong?" ”

"Of course it's not right, think about it, the powerful clan, if you can use it well, it will definitely be more useful than eradicating them, after you arrive at the place, you can borrow their power to govern the place, it is best to be familiar with them, and be close to them like brothers, in this way, with their help, you will definitely be able to govern the place, whether it is agriculture, or galloping, water conservancy, they come forward, is it much simpler than you do it yourself?"

Jia Xu asked rhetorically, Zhuge Liang nodded thoughtfully, and said, "After I go, I'll go and see if there is such a big clan to make friends with." ”

"Well, that's good, in addition, it's to reuse these people, and also, after you arrive at the place, you must get rid of the local Taishou, the county order, these officials, it's best to replace them with your henchmen..."

"Why is that?"

"Think about it, Your Majesty sent you there because the local officials are useless, so I hope you can change the situation there, if you are uneasy and confidant, you give various decrees, will they obey? No, at least not fully cooperated, but if you let your henchmen serve as officials in various places, your decrees can be carried out, and in this way, it will be of great benefit to the locality... It's a pity...", Jia Xu said something, but never spoke.

Zhuge Liang asked suspiciously, "What is the pity?" ”

"If you do your best to install your cronies, I'm afraid it will arouse the jealousy of the courtiers... or not feasible. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "This is not in the way. ”

"Well, you are very good, courageous, in addition, for the original magistrates, you must not be polite, blindly gentle, they will not obey you, it is best to scare them all, so that they dare not oppose you!!"

Zhuge Liang listened to it for a long time, and it wasn't until Jia Xu finished speaking that he stood up, bowed to Jia Xu, and said, "Thank you Jia Gong!" I know what to do!! ”

Jia Xu smiled, looked at Zhuge Liang, and nodded approvingly.

Wait for death!! Shaft!!
