The tenth year of the Warring States period, July, Jizhou.

Yecheng.

Sun Quan wore a blue and white alternating dragon pattern brocade robe, wearing a jade crown, walking leisurely, walking on the wall of Yecheng, he walked around the city, looking at the thriving Yecheng, and was very satisfied.

Among the thirteen states of the former dynasty, the land of Jizhou was originally the most densely populated and the most fertile land in the world, and it was better than Qingzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou in terms of population, economy, and people's living standards.

And because when the Wu army recaptured Jizhou from the Wei army, it did not start a large-scale war, but used Cao Pi's coup d'état to control Jizhou without blood, nor did it destroy the local economy of Jizhou.

So there is no need to recover at all, just develop.

After Eastern Wu took charge of Jizhou, he began to implement the policy of the Wu Dynasty, which was much more favorable than that of Cao Wei, whether it was land distribution or crop development, it was very beneficial to the common people, and naturally the economic development was much faster.

"Uncle, you have done a good job in Jizhou, in a short period of time, you can make Yecheng recover to this level, it's very good, work hard, at most next year, Jizhou will be able to feed back to the imperial court and become the largest granary outside Jiangdong and Australia!"

Sun Quan turned his head, looked at Zhu Zhi, and said appreciatively.

"Your Majesty, this is not my Zhu Zhi's attack, the original Jizhou mutiny, so that Jizhou peacefully passed the transition period between the two dynasties, the local damage is not big, and the population is not lost, so our work is also recovering well!"

Zhu Zhi, the governor of Jizhou, followed behind Sun Quan, and when he heard Sun Quan's appreciation, he smiled and said modestly.

"Merit is merit, this is obvious to all, you don't have to be humble!"

Sun Quan waved his hand, and he motioned to Cui Zhouping, the deputy governor of the Jizhou Governor's Mansion, who was standing at the end, to come up: "Zhouping, come here!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

Cui Zhouping's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward with some excitement.

He only chatted with Sun Quan a few times, but he respected Sun Quan from the bottom of his heart.

"I have a question for you!"

Sun Quan still had a good influence on this hero who won Jizhou.

Lumenshan Academy, whether it is Zhuge Liang Pang Tong, or Shi Guangyuan, Cui Zhouping, Meng Gongwei, are all rare talents, if this is used well, it will be the pillar of the imperial court in the future.

"Your Majesty has any doubts, Weichen knows everything, and he has no end to it!"

Cui Zhou's plane was solemn and respectful.

"Come and see, these are all my people, although they want to be far away from the war, but their lives are obviously tight now, all of them are thinly clothed and their faces are yellow!"

Sun Quan patted him on the shoulder and pointed to the people walking through the streets and alleys under the city wall: "I want them to live a better life, do you have a way?" ”

This question is very vague, very wide-ranging, and involves a lot of levels, but it is very capable of assessing the ability of an official.

When Cui Zhouping heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it for a long time, he replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, this question cannot be answered!" ”

"Can't answer? Don't you dare to answer, or do you not understand to answer? ”

Sun Quan squinted slightly and asked rhetorically.

"Weichen doesn't dare!" Cui Zhou said calmly: "The weight of the people is like Mount Tai, and the micro-ministers are weak, so they dare not bear such a heavy responsibility!" ”

"Huh!"

Sun Quan smiled and didn't say anything, he was not very satisfied with this answer, so his feelings about Cui Zhouping became a little complicated, which was a little relieved and a little disappointed.

"Xun Zhan, what do you think?"

Sun Quan turned his head and looked at the other deputy governor.

Deputy Governor Xun Zhan was a little restrained in front of Sun Quan, the young but very majestic Emperor of Eastern Wu, he gritted his teeth, thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head: "Your Majesty, Weichen can't answer this question either!" ”

"Uncle, come on!" Sun Quan's gaze continued to look at Zhu Zhi.

"Your Majesty, the question of the people, only the answer of the king, the question of the people can only be answered by His Majesty, and none of us can answer it!" Zhu Zhi is a serious way.

"Uncle, why have you learned to pat on the back!" Sun Quan sneered.

"Wechen is telling the truth!" Zhu Zhi's face was straight.

"I have never been in charge of the people, but you, you are the one in charge of the people, the people of Jizhou are under your direct management, you are the parents of Jizhou, if you want the life of the people of Jizhou to become good or bad, I don't care, it mainly depends on how you do it!"

Sun Quan waved his hand and was full of style.

"Your Majesty is wise!" The ministers said flatteringly.

"Xun Zhan, Cui Zhouping!"

"In!" The two of them each took a step forward.

Sun Quan's eyes were sharp, Xun Zhan and Cui Zhouping said in a deep voice: "I have always been just a person who looks at the results, after all, Zhu Zhi is the second assistant of the cabinet and will not waste too much time in Jizhou, at the end of the year he will be transferred back to the cabinet, the position of the governor of Jizhou will be vacant, Cui Zhouping, Xun Zhan, I will give you half a year, I don't care what method you use, I want the people here to live on a higher level, whoever does the best, who is the governor of Jizhou!" ”

"Yes!"

When Cui Zhouping and Xun Zhan heard this, their eyes suddenly brightened, and they almost didn't make a military order on the spot.

Zhu Zhi was originally the deputy assistant of the cabinet, the giant of the court, and it was a bit condescending to be the governor of Jizhou, he originally came to Jizhou to use the identity of the second assistant of the cabinet to stabilize the current situation in Jizhou, and sooner or later he would return to the cabinet.

Therefore, the position of the governor of Jizhou, both of them have actually been red for a long time.

A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and in the same way, a deputy governor who does not want to be a governor is definitely not a good lieutenant governor.

It's not the same as ambition, it's self-motivation.

"Gu Yong, you will personally watch this matter!" Sun Quan said.

"Yes!"

Gu Yong, the secretary of the ministry, was originally good at personnel issues, and he also thought about the issue of the governor of Jizhou for a long time, but there was never a result.

The group continued to walk along the city walls, looking at the scene inside and outside the city.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Lei Ding, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, suddenly strode up and said in Sun Quan's ear: "I just sent a secret letter in brocade clothes, it's Wuzhang!" ”

"Gojohara?"

Sun Quan's heart suddenly suddenly, he quickly calmed down, looked at the ministers and said: "That's all here today, you all go to do your own thing, and I will turn around by myself!" ”

"No!"

The officials of the Jizhou Governor's Mansion received the order and dispersed one by one.

Sun Quan hurriedly opened a secret letter and looked at it, on it was Zhuge Liang who personally wrote a post-war report, and his expression was sometimes a little happy, sometimes frowning.

"Your Majesty, how is the situation in Gojohara?"

Zhao Yun looked at Sun Quan's expression, his heart suddenly burst, and he hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Is there an accident?" ”

"Won the war, won a complete victory, and the Wei army was completely annihilated, which was even more brilliant than we expected!"

Sun Quan handed him the letter and said a little unhappily: "But Zhuge Kongming's guy has given me two big problems, this is to make him rebel against me!" ”

"Two big problems?"

Zhao Yun looked at the letter carefully, saw a name, and knew that the first big problem was above, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Ma Chao? ”

"Zilong, do you think I should kill or stay?"

Sun Quan was also a little embarrassed about this hot sweet potato, did he surrender, or did he click it directly?

"Stay!"

Zhao Yun thought for a while, and said categorically: "Your Majesty, this person is a rare warrior in the world, if we use it properly, it will have a lot of effects on our westward expedition to Rome in the future, Your Majesty also said that our Dongwu has not yet reached a point where we have not yet reached the point of Ma Fang Nanshan!" ”

"But after all, he killed Gan Ning, and he killed many of our sons, if I force him to stay, I'm afraid it will make the soldiers in the army a little dissatisfied!" Sun Quan said.

"Your Majesty, as the so-called two armies are at war, no one can predict life or death!"

Zhao Yundao: "On the battlefield, it is actually natural for a soldier to kill the enemy or be killed by the enemy!" ”

"Zilong, you are so hard to intercede for Ma Chao, it won't be because he is your brother-in-law, right?"

Sun Quan squinted his amber crystal eyes and said lightly.

"Hehe, dissatisfied with Your Majesty, there is some reason for this, after all, he is Yunluo's only remaining brother, Yunluo doesn't have many families, and I don't want her to be alone, not even a relative!" Zhao Yun replied calmly.

"You're so honest, your shamelessness is getting more and more like me!" Sun Quan pursed his lips.

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes: close to Zhu Zhechi!"

"It seems that you are shameless and a little blue is better than blue, and your skin is thicker than mine!" Sun Quan was speechless.

"Your Majesty, in fact, leaving Ma Chao is not just a personal affair, but more importantly, it is indeed beneficial to our Wu army to leave him, the Great Wu Dynasty has always been inclusive of all rivers, and how many generals have been collected for the use of Great Wu, so that there is today's domination of the world, it is a talent, we have to use it, this is what you said!"

Zhao Yun said sincerely: "Lu Bu back then, Zhuge Liang later, aren't you all convinced one by one?" ”

"Ma Chao, this guy is another Lu Bu, they know each other very well, I have to be careful to dare to use him!"

Sun Quan sighed.

"At most, he is just a small Lu Bu, and His Majesty the big Lu Bu can use it, and he doesn't need a small Lu Bu?" Zhao Yundao.

"Lei Ding!" Sun Quan thought about it for a long time before he made a decision.

"In!"

"Pen and ink waiting!"

"Yes!"

A table that Lei Ding quickly moved, on which the four treasures of the study room were complete.

Sun Quan picked up the pen and ink, and then wrote a letter, on which were several requirements for Wuzhangyuan's post-war deployment, and then his attitude towards Ma Chao.

Ma Chao can stay, but at least he has to hide it, as if of course he uses Lu Bu, he must suppress even their arrogance before he can use it.

He wrote the letter, escaped from his arms, took a breath, and directly covered it: "Use the channel of Jinyiwei to send it to Zhuge Liang in the fastest time!" ”

"Yes!"

Lei Ding took the secret letter and immediately went to the person in charge of Jizhou Jinyiwei. (To be continued.) )
