Chapter 0679 - Great Strategy for Governing Jing
The next day, Zhuge Liang woke up slowly, enduring a severe headache, Zhuge Liang sat on the bed, stretched out his hand, rubbed his forehead, hoping that the pain would be relieved, Zhuge Liang looked around, obviously, he had returned to the Assassin's Mansion, he didn't know how he went back, he only remembered that he had drunk with Jiang Wan, and what happened after that, but he didn't know, it seemed that he was too drunk.
Zhuge Liang thought, should he be out of shape? If he had just arrived in Jingnan, he had let everyone see his jokes, so what majesty could he have to suppress them, Zhuge Liang felt a little regretful in his heart, he had known that he would not drink, he got up slowly, and walked out of the house, but he happened to see Ma Liang arguing with Jiang Wan, Ma Liang looked very angry, and almost jumped up, and Jiang Wan also looked at him coldly, and did not back down at all.
Seeing Zhuge Liang walk out, the two stopped arguing, hurriedly walked over, and met Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang asked them to get up, and then asked, "How long have I been sleeping?" Ma Liang replied: "Zhuge Gong has slept all day...", he glared at Jiang Wan angrily, in his opinion, it was this guy who had bad intentions and drunk Zhuge Gong, and almost made Zhuge Gong ugly!
Jiang Wan was also aggrieved in his heart, Zhuge Liang just drank four glasses of wine, and he became like that, who knew that he drank so badly, if he knew, he wouldn't drink with him, Zhuge Liang smelled again, Jiang Wan replied: "Yesterday, Zhuge Gong was drunk, I wanted you to rest in my house, but I didn't expect that Ma Liang was not at ease with me, so I took Zhuge Gong back to my house..."
"Then I..." Zhuge Liang looked at Ma Liang.
Ma Liang shook his head and said, "I personally escorted it, Zhuge Gong has been sleeping soundly in the carriage and has not been seen by outsiders. ”
Zhuge Liang was relieved, rubbed his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "I don't drink anymore, I've never had such a headache... Can you find me some medicine? Ma Liang nodded, and immediately sent someone to get the medicine, Jiang Wan watched him leave, stepped forward, and asked in a low voice: "Zhuge Gong, Huang Junwei is here, and he is waiting in the front yard, but do you want to meet him??" Hearing Jiang Wan's inquiry, Zhuge Liang woke up to the fact that he still had something important to do, and he almost forgot about it!
"Naturally, I want to see, alas, let him wait a long time? Drinking is wrong, drinking is wrong!! Zhuge Liang said, hurriedly walked towards the front yard, Jiang Wan followed behind him, when they walked to the front yard, Liu Min was chatting with Huang Gai, happy, seeing Zhuge Liang, Liu Min quickly got up, Huang Gai was stunned for a moment, and also got up to meet him, Zhuge Liang hurriedly asked them to sit down, and he also sat down.
He looked at the old minister in front of him, Huang Gai looked like he was indeed old, but he could still see that this person was by no means an idle person, even if he was old, he didn't see any rickets all over his body, he was extremely strong, his arms were as thick as his own legs, sitting next to Liu Min, Liu Min, a young man, was not as good as him in terms of size, he looked more like a fierce general, and his eyes were bright.
"Huang Gong.. I'm really sorry, I drank too badly, I drank some wine yesterday, but I couldn't get up today, so Huang Gong waited for a long time..."Zhuge Liang said, he didn't make excuses to fool, but told the truth, and sincerely apologized, Huang Gai was still a little dissatisfied in his heart, and said that he would meet this assassin today, but he made himself wait for so long, if it weren't for Liu Min, who was a little close to him, I was afraid that he would have left a long time ago.
However, listening to Zhuge Liang's sincere words, the dissatisfaction in Huang Gai's heart gradually dissipated, and he smiled heartily and said, "It's okay, Zhuge Gong doesn't have to be like this." Zhuge Liang smiled, greeted him for a while, asked about the current situation of the army, and admired this heroic old minister in his heart, Zhuge Liang suddenly asked: "I want to arrest those mediocre Jingzhou officials, I don't know what Huang Gong thinks?" ”
Huang Gai was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he nodded and said, "If there is an order, I will definitely follow it, but why did Zhuge Gong arrest them?" ”
"For Jingzhou... I want to change a group of officials who can do some practical things for Jingzhou, so, Huang Gong, I will write down the person's name, Huang Gong will arrest him now, as for the Son of Heaven Order, I will play Your Majesty's... In addition, this matter must be done quickly and neatly, not to let them go, and not to cause too much turmoil...", hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Huang Gai nodded, Zhuge Liang took the pen and ink, and began to write.
Everyone looked at the long list of names written by Zhuge Liang, and they were a little shocked in their hearts.
Zhuge Liang quickly finished writing and handed it to Huang Gai with his own hands, and then said: "Huang Gong can take people, so he will be arrested for the crime of inaction, and they will all be locked up in the prison of Lingling County...", after he finished speaking, Huang Gai didn't say anything, nodded, took the list and left, Zhuge Liang smiled and left, only then looked at everyone, Jiang Wan, Liu Min, and Liu Xian in the distance, all looked a little shocked.
Zhuge Liang said: "It's time for me to write a second list... I'm tired of waiting for a moment..."
This second list, naturally to replace those who came before, Zhuge Liang recalled the talents who came to serve these days, and thought about those who originally held official positions and had good talents, and finally formulated a list, with Ma Liang, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, Xiang Lang composed of four Taishou, it stands to reason that this is not right, Zhuge Liang does not have the power to directly appoint Taishou, and even, he can't let Jingzhou people serve as Taishou.
However, Zhuge Liang has his own thoughts in his heart, he will not always be in Jingnan, and Jingzhou will sooner or later usher in a capable minister to take over, at that time, most of these people may follow him to Luoyang, and those who stay will also go to other places and sit here by themselves, and they are not afraid that they will do anything because of their personal feelings, and they can also cultivate a group of capable ministers, which is the most important thing for Zhuge Liang.
In addition, including some important positions, Xiang Tuntian Zhonglang General, some important county magistrates, and even county Cao and the like, he let these people he trusted to hold them, Zhuge Liang didn't take too long, he had already drawn up the list.
And Huang Gai, at this time, has been divided into multiple batches, to the counties and counties, nominally to patrol the thieves, in fact, is to get people, that day, Huang Gai personally arrested, Guiyang Taishou, and three county commanders, plus the rest, a total of sixteen, at the same time, the potential soldiers from all over the country, also at the same time, this day, when the Jingnan officials are the most frightened day.
Huang Gai chose to do it at night, many officials were resting with their wives, and they were caught by the soldiers who rushed in like tigers and wolves, dragged and taken away from the mansion, some people shouted for help, and some people confessed their crimes, crying, and more, they still chose to reprimand these soldiers, even if they were taken away, they still defended themselves and did not admit their crimes, and after another three days, all the guilty ministers were arrested in Lingling County.
All the people under Zhuge Liang's command also gathered in the Assassin's Mansion, and Zhuge Liang bought a mansion and built the so-called Assassin's Mansion.
Zhuge Liang sat on the main seat, listening to Huang Gai's advice, everyone sat on both sides of him, listening to Huang Gai's words, their hearts were a little frightened, but Zhuge Liang was extraordinarily calm, indifferent, he smiled lightly, said a blessing, let Huang Gai sit down, then looked at everyone, and said: "Gentlemen, the great cause of Jingzhou should start with us!" Everyone was shocked, looked at Zhuge Liang, got up one after another, and bowed to Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang then said: "First of all, I am going to reduce Jingnan's taxes for three years... Second, it is necessary to cultivate the fields and reclaim the mountains and forests... Thirdly, this place is close to the water, which is suitable for fishing and fishing, fourthly, there are a lot of forests here, and I am ready to release the mountain ban for one year and allow the people to cut wood, fifthly, I want to develop official learning, sixth, build a Chi Road to connect with Jingbei, and seventh, build a merchant station...."
Everyone listened carefully, no one dared to refute it, these decrees were all put forward by them during the negotiation, and Zhuge Liang summarized them, and finally said the sixteen policies for governing Jing, and immediately read out the appointment to them, so that they each left and went to various places to obey their own decrees.
As soon as Zhuge Liang came to Jingzhou, he cleaned the local officials, and even won over the local wealthy families and families, and selected a group of capable people from among them to serve in these vacant positions, and then, he began a mighty strategy to govern Jing, such a big movement, naturally it was immediately spread, and the first to get the news was Sima Yi in Jingbei, Sima Yi was busy with the canal, and when he heard the advice of his subordinates, the whole person was a little dazed.
What do you say?? Zhuge Liang purged the officials?? Still planted close??
Is this what he did??
Sima Yi couldn't believe it, he had been with Zhuge Liang for so long, and he was very clear about his character in his heart, why did he suddenly change so much? Sima Yi had some doubts in his heart, he didn't know, he could only be envious, Zhuge Liang would be easy to do now, there was no resistance in the local area, the people were in their hearts, I was afraid that in a few years, Jingnan would be able to develop, Sima Yi understood in his heart that Zhuge Liang's talent was only lower than himself.
Sima Yi also wanted to do this, but he didn't dare, after all, he was not a relative, although he was also close to the Son of Heaven, he thought that he could not reach the level of Zhuge Liang, if he also learned from him and cleaned Jingbei, he was afraid that he would go to Yuan Shang tomorrow, alas, Sima Yi shook his head helplessly, but fortunately, he wanted to dig a canal here, and the benefits were definitely more than those in Jingnan, as long as he worked a little harder, there was no problem in surpassing Zhuge Liang.
So, Sima Yi, who was in Jingbei, put forward eighteen strategies for controlling Jing according to Zhuge Liang's sixteen strategies for controlling Jing.
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he just smiled and put forward twenty strategies to cure Jing.
Sima Yi then improved the policy and put forward 33 strategies.
This time, Zhuge Liang did not follow suit, which made Sima Yi have a headache, there are too many policies, and they can't be implemented!! Perhaps seeing Zhuge Liang's achievements, Sima Yi also looked for some local talents, and even called several of his younger brothers over to help him, although he did not give him an official body, but it also played a certain role, and Sima Yi continued to implement his thirty-three strategies.
