"The affairs of the DPRK and China, the subordinates are not very clear! Since Dong Weng is embarrassed, there is no need to mention this move! After two suggestions were rejected by his employer, Wei Zheng was extremely disappointed. After a period of observation, he felt that the newly rising bandit leader Cheng Mingzhen was a very rare general. The ability to use a thousand lightly trained Xiangyong to block Zhang Jin's tens of thousands of rogue Kou is not at all comparable to those so-called "talents" who are ordinary and Yuan Baobao Wen Si Lu and Six Singing. If such a general can be pulled back to the right path, it will not only weaken the strength of the rogue, but also find a wise general for the imperial court, which is really a double win. Even if you don't think about it for the Great Sui Imperial Court, recruiting Cheng Mingzhen to Wuyang is equivalent to raising a tiger for Wuyang County to watch the door. From now on, whether it is Dou Jiande or Zhang Jincheng, if you want to fight Wuyang County's idea, you have to weigh your own capital.

However, the treasure of Wuyang County Shouyuan was narrow-eyed, for fear that he would lose the official hat on his own head if he was involved. If you don't prescribe the right medicine, how can you impress Cheng Mingzhen? Just a few good words from the government that "the past is not to blame"? Cheng Mingzhen has just been in charge of Lin Deen, no matter how stupid he is, at least he knows to look at the scars on his body!

"The matter of Zhao'an can also be discussed in the long run!" Hearing that Wei Zheng was dissatisfied with himself, Yuan Bao was not angry. He is neither capable nor responsible, and the only good thing is that he is open-minded enough. "Xuan Cheng might as well talk about the third strategy and listen to it, no matter how fast or slow the effect is, at least we can have one more choice!"

When encountering such a proprietor, Wei Zheng was helpless. Shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Since it is a good idea, it must be very troublesome to implement." I summarized it into eight words, 'merging the county, moving the people, Jianbi, Qingye', if Dong Weng is interested, I have written a note here, you can read it slowly. ”

With that, he took out a stack of copywriting from his sleeve and held it to Yuan Bao with both hands.

Seeing the thickness of Tiao Chen, Wuyang County Shouyuan Treasure understood that Wei Zheng had put a lot of effort into his own affairs. couldn't help but feel a heat in his chest, and thanked him in a low voice: "It's hard work." If the old man can still gain a foothold in Wuyang County this year, at the end of the year, he will definitely report Xuancheng's exploits to the imperial court! ”

Wei Zheng took half a step sideways, not daring to accept the gratitude of Yuan Baobao, "This is the responsibility of the subordinates." Let's take a look at Tiao Chen first, this matter is simple to say, but it is not so easy to do! ”

"Strong walls, clear fields" is the imperial court's previous "banditry" strategy explained to various places in the form of holy decrees, which is not a new word for Yuan Bao. The specific measures proposed by the imperial court were to move the people from all over the country into the nearest county town or fort, so that the bandits would starve to death without provisions. The original intention of this strategy was very good, and it was the idea of cutting off the source of food and minions for the bandits, and drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle. But one point is missing, that is, the people also have to eat. After they migrated to the city, they not only lost their source of livelihood, but also caused the price of food and goods in the city to skyrocket, and order was chaotic. As a result, many people had to take risks and join forces with bandits to seize the granary. In the end, it led to many county towns falling into the hands of the bandits, which greatly contributed to the arrogance of the bandits.

After Yang Yichen, the imperial servant, went to Hebei to preside over the suppression of bandits, he vigorously implemented the "Persuasion Order" to pardon the crimes of the people who were forced into the green forest, evacuate the unemployed vagrants stranded in the city, and persuade them to return home to farm. The failure of the "strong wall clearing" strategy has already been invisibly announced. Now Wei Zheng brought it up again, and added the words "merging counties and moving people" in front of his head, which is really a bit too bold.

Yuan Bao is cautious by nature, facing the beeswax, and repeatedly scrutinizing Wei Zheng's strips. After reading it word by word three times in a row, he put down Tiao Chen, grinned, and smiled bitterly, "Xuancheng really wants to roast me on the fire today!" Your eight-character mantra is absolutely valid! But if someone in Yuan does this, I'm afraid that he will not be able to save the counties of Wuyang from falling into the hands of thieves, and he will not be able to save his head! ”

"Why did Dong Weng say this, didn't he think that Wei was disloyal?" Wei Zheng immediately straightened his face and asked in a low voice.

"Xuancheng knows it, but he is embarrassed for me!" Yuan Bao held the table case and shook his head constantly. "Your Chen, if it is handed over to Mrs. Yang, or to Luo Manzi, it is a first-class good plan. Only handed it over to Yuan...... Hi! ”

Yang Yichen, the servant of the Imperial Servant, and Luo Yi, the general of Huben, are both highly valued by Yang Guang, and they both have heavy troops, so even if they do something out of the ordinary, no one will dare to make trouble easily. But Yuan Baobao knows what kind of weight he is, this Wuyang county guard looks like a fourth-grade master, and the entire county town will tremble when he stomps his feet. In fact, he had to look at the faces of those big families in the local area to eat. If you accidentally offend someone, you may be impeached by someone else's "old friend" in the court, and in the end, no matter whether the impeachment charge is established or not, there will be a lot of trouble.

However, Wei Zheng's third plan suggested that he combine the three counties of Wei, Guantao, and Guanshi, which were far away from Wuyang County, into one county, and move the people and officials to Wei County, which is the closest to Wuyang County. In this way, if the Liukou invade Wuyang County again, the strengthened Wei County and the Guixiang of Wuyang County can be each other's horns, echoing each other from afar, and there are police in one place, and the other place will immediately attack decisively and attack the enemy's back. Let the thieves and soldiers be unable to take care of the left and right, and have to retreat despite the difficulties.

This strategy can indeed play a role in dealing with the Liukou, and for the people who were given land to move to Wei County, Wei Zheng also made a detailed resettlement plan in the article. But he shouldn't, he shouldn't have thought about the hundreds of miles of wasteland behind Shalu Mountain all the way to the bank of the Yellow River for the people to reclaim. That land is overgrown with wild grass all year round, and it is a pity that it is not reclaimed for farmland. But that land is the land of the owner, and the master can let it be abandoned, but the yuan treasure can't fight its idea.

Wei Zheng's mind was clear, and when he saw Yuan Baobao's face full of embarrassment, he had already guessed what he was thinking. After hesitating for a moment, he suggested in a low voice: "Why don't you try to talk to those families." After all, under the nest, there are few eggs. Really let the thieves break the county town, they even lost their lives, what's the use of keeping the wasteland? ”

"Nesting?" Yuan Baozang sneered and shrugged, "Has Xuan Cheng read the "Biography of Mr. Adult" written by Yuan Mou's ancestor?" Mending the crotch of the pants is Yuan's responsibility, what is the matter with other people's lice? ”

Note 1: Biography of Mr. Adult, written by Ruan Ji in the Wei and Jin dynasties. Compare the aristocracy to lice foraging in the crotch of their pants. Yuan Baobao quotes this article here, one is despair for the future of the Great Sui. The second is to show off the bloodline of his famous descendants.
