Chapter 99: First Sight of Zhuge Liang (5 more)
Time flies by, and it's April in a blink of an eye.
Hu Zhao has been in charge of Yangdu County for half a month. In this short period of time, Hu Zhao was impressed by the officials of the nine towns and eighteen townships of Yangdu County, and no one did not admire Hu Zhao's governance ability.
The government affairs of Yangdu County are in good order, and the efficiency has also improved a lot.
After the busy farming season passed, Wang Yan and Hu Zhao discussed and decided on the policy of repairing water conservancy and began to open ditches to prepare for the next step of irrigating farmland. According to the strategy mentioned by Wang Yan and Xun Wei, the method of cash-for-work was adopted for opening ditches.
For the people, when farming is over, there is nothing to do.
In this era, there were no mobile phones, no televisions, no computers, no movies, etc., so ordinary people stayed at home to weave bamboo strips, dustpans, etc., or went up to the mountains to chop firewood and sell it in the city to subsidize their families.
The government came up with a policy to build ditches with work for relief, and for a time, there were countless people who responded.
The people of the nine towns and eighteen townships participated in the construction and started the construction according to the planned line.
When the ditch was opened, Hu Zhao set aside an area in Yangdu County according to Wang Yan's plan, which was used by merchants to sell medicinal materials, food, clothing, and so on.
For a time, the entire Yangdu County was in vigorous development.
At the same time as the economic exhibition of Yangdu County, Wang Yan also grasped the training of soldiers more strictly.
After the conflict between Xu Zhuang and Jiang Taosheng, the Yellow Turban soldiers were truly integrated into the army of Yangdu County, and there was no longer a barrier. At the same time, Wang Yan in the eyes of the soldiers is fair and strict, as if he is the embodiment of justice, and the soldiers are extremely respectful in their hearts.
In the barracks, the soldiers were bare-chested, training.
Wang Yan inspected the battalion, looking at the state of the soldiers' hard work, and his heart was also slightly relieved. As far as the current situation is concerned, it seems to be calm, but under the calm, there is a turbulent dark tide.
Because Liu Hong, the son of heaven in Luoyang, is already terminally ill and can no longer be treated. At this time, He Jin and Zhang Rang were fighting openly and secretly for power.
It can be said that today's Luoyang has already been turbulent.
This situation will soon be in the counties of the state.
Wang Yan clearly remembered that Liu Hong would die in May, that is, there was only about a month left before Liu Hong's death. Especially Dong Zhuo must have received He Jin's order now, preparing to enter Luoyang. In such a situation, what Wang Yan did first was to strengthen his strength and have the power to protect himself in the coming troubled times.
Wang Yan inspected the training of ordinary soldiers, and then came to the place where the eighteen cavalry were trained.
The training of the Eighteen Cavalry is different from that of ordinary soldiers.
Archery, horsemanship, fighting, medicine, pharmacology, the art of war, etc., must be proficient, not limited to martial arts, but also erudite.
Huang Zhong followed the training manual given by Wang Yan and trained a little bit of targeted training. In the eyes of the Eighteen Horsemen, Huang Zhong was already the embodiment of the demon, and it was really painful to let them train hard during the day and let them study at night.
However, pain is pain, and the growth of the Eighteen Riders is undoubted, and there has been great progress compared to before. Wang Yan saw this situation in his eyes, and he was quite happy in his heart.
Back in the camp, a soldier ran over and reported: "Overseer, news has come from the county government that Zhuge Jin has asked to see you." ”
"I'll go back to the county office right away!"
Wang Yan nodded, said hello to Huang Zhong and Guan Hai, and left the barracks to return to the county office.
In the hall, Zhuge Jin was wearing a dark robe.
He stood in the middle of the hall, walking back and forth, his calm face revealing a hint of urgency. At the beginning, Zhuge Jin didn't plan to visit Wang Yan, after all, when he was in Nancheng County, he and Wang Yan were only one-sided, especially when he lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, he felt that he had misunderstood Wang Yan, and he was even more unhappy.
But when there was an accident at home, he asked for help to no avail, so he had no choice but to come to Wang Yan.
"Da! Da! ”
Footsteps came from outside.
Zhuge Jin hurriedly turned around, saw Wang Yan coming, and arched his hand: "Zhuge Jin, grass people, please meet the county order." ”
Wang Yan entered the hall, held up Zhuge Jin, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhuge Xian, let's meet again." After I arrived in Yangdu County, I was too busy, otherwise I would have visited a long time ago. Sit down, and you're welcome. ”
Listening to Wang Yan's enthusiastic tone, Zhuge Jin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
After Zhuge Jin sat down, he said, "Thank you for the county order!" But after a pause, Zhuge Jin stood up again and said respectfully: "Wang County Order, the grass people came to visit this time, but they wanted to trouble the county order." ”
Wang Yan said: "It's okay to say it directly! ”
Zhuge Jin looked helpless, and said slowly: "Yangdu County has set aside an area for business, and my uncle Zhuge Xuan bought a piece of land and planned to hoard it, and then sell it when the price rises." However, the Wang family of the Wang family in Yangdu County also took a fancy to this piece of land and asked the uncle to transfer it at a half-price reduction. The uncle disagreed, and the Wang family found a reason to arrest the uncle. The grass people had no way to ask for help, so they had to ask the county order for help. ”
Wang Yan said: "I should help with the affairs of the virtuous brother. In this way, I will go to the Wang family with you, what do you think? ”
Zhuge Jin hurriedly said: "No, no." A trivial matter, how can the county magistrate personally deign to go. All you need is an adult warrant to let the Wang family release the uncle. ”
Wang Yan thought about it and nodded in agreement, it was okay if he didn't show up, after all, it was the county order of Yangdu County, and once he went directly to the Wang family to ask for someone, he would be a little overwhelmed.
Spreading it out is not good for Wang Yan's reputation.
Immediately, Wang Yan wrote a letter and handed it to Zhuge Jin.
In the letters, there is no order to release them, nor does it talk about the land. Wang Yan only said one thing, saying that Zhuge Jin was Wang Yan's friend, and Zhuge Xuan was Wang Yan's elder, so please let the Wang family raise their noble hands and release them.
In this way, it did not hurt the face of the Wang family.
If the Wang family knew each other and received the letter, they would borrow the donkey and let Zhuge Xuan go.
Zhuge Jin packed the letter and thanked him: "The great kindness of the county order, Zhuge Jin remembers it in his heart. ”
Wang Yan said with a smile: "Saving people is like fighting fire, go quickly." ”
"Thank you for the county order, the grass people say goodbye."
Zhuge Jin was grateful, and after bowing, he left in a hurry.
Wang Yan looked at the back of Zhuge Jin leaving, and couldn't help but sigh that the world was impermanent. Zhuge Jin, who is famous in history, is now looking for him to do things, which is quite a wonderful feeling.
After dealing with the matter, Wang Yan threw Zhuge Jin's matter behind.
In the afternoon, Wang Yan was reading in the study.
Outside the room, there was a knock on the door, and the attendant reported: "My lord, there is a child named Zhuge Liang outside the mansion who asks to see him." He said that his elder brother was Zhuge Jin. ”
"Please!"
Wang Yan's eyes showed a hint of smile and expectation.
Unexpectedly, he and Zhuge Liang met under such circumstances. After changing a set of clothes, Wang Yanjing waited until the hall. After a while, a ten-year-old boy entered the hall.
At this time, Zhuge Liang did not have the instrumental Xuan Ang after adulthood, and he was extraordinary. It gives people the feeling that it is a cute baby with big eyes, clear eyes, a fleshy face, and a delicate appearance. Entering the hall, Zhuge Liang bowed with a glance and said: "Zhuge Liang has seen the eldest brother, the elder brother returned to Yangdu County from Nancheng County, and said that the eldest brother is very good-looking, and when he saw it today, he was really handsome and chic. ”
The words are very old-fashioned, as if they came out of the mouth of an adult. Especially because he is young, he is not like Zhuge Jin, and his speech and demeanor can be a little presumptuous. Calling Wang Yan the big brother instantly shortened the distance between the two sides.
However, Zhuge Liang is young, but his mind has long matured.
Every word and deed has been carefully considered.
In fact, Zhuge Liang lost his mother at the age of three, his father at the age of eight, and although he was not very old at the age of ten, he was extremely sensible, and his mind was far more delicate than that of the person in charge.
Wang Yan smiled: "I am also honored to be praised by Xiaoliang. You're coming alone, and what about your brother? ”
Zhuge Liang is only ten years old, and he has not grown up with the mentality of being happy and angry. At the mention of Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang's brows furrowed, and his fleshy face showed an angry look.
Seeing this, Wang Yan knew that something was wrong and asked, "What happened to your brother?" ”
Zhuge Liang clenched his fists and replied: "The elder brother went to the Wang family with the letter from the eldest brother, but the Wang family directly detained the elder brother and asked him to take the title deed to change people. When the Wang family saw the letter from the eldest brother, they were so arrogant, they were simply unsightly, and they were bold. As the county magistrate of Yangdu County, the eldest brother supports justice, and he can't let the wicked get away with it. ”
The words brought a hint of agitation.
Wang Yan saw Zhuge Liang's intentions, but he didn't debunk it, got up and said, "Okay, I'll personally accompany you to the Wang family." Look at how domineering the Wang family is, and they actually hold people up. ”
