Well, cursing others is such a thing, Zhang Xi actually doesn't believe it, he just curses two sentences in his heart to get angry.

Scolding and scolding, you still have to find a way to solve it.

Zhang Xi discussed with Zhuge Liang for a long time, and came up with some unspeakable methods, so he could barely formulate a method that was not a solution.

In the right Fufeng area, because there is a clear defensive direction, the construction of Wu Fort can be increased, the density of Wu Fort can be increased, and soldiers can be arranged to guard and monitor the movement of the Wei army nearby.

It may not be able to completely prevent the Wei army, but at least it can shorten the rescue time and reduce the Wei army's infringement on the right wind.

In the area of Zuo Fengyi, Zhang Xi came up with an idea to divide Zuo Fengyi into five defense areas, and arrange fixed county soldiers to stay in each defense area, and at the same time divide the 10,000 Northern Army left behind into five teams, each team has 2,000 people, and there are special personnel under the command, each of whom is responsible for the rescue and response of an area.

This can't completely block Cao Jun, and it can't even be as targeted as the right Fufeng, but at least, it can be blocked, so that Cao Jun will not enter and exit unscrupulously.

Moreover, once Cao Wei did not use the method of infiltrating guerrilla attacks with small forces, but directly invaded by a large army, the northern army of these five defense areas could also go around the rear according to the original plan, let go of Cao Wei's army, lure the enemy into depth, and complete the assembly behind Cao Wei's army, without delaying Zhang Xi's original strategic arrangement.

Zhuge Liang thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of a better idea than this. To be able to do this, in today's situation in Guanzhong, it is already very difficult.

Another one, Zhang Xi is the assassin of Yongzhou after all, the defense of Yongzhou should have been based on Zhang Xi, and Zhuge Liang has a lot of things, so it is impossible to stay in Yongzhou all the time and find a way to solve the defense problem of Yongzhou.

Today's Zhuge Liang has a lot of helpers around him, and he really doesn't have to worry about it like a person in history, for fear that his subordinates will not do good things, and they have to decide everything by themselves.

There's really no need for that.

Today's Zhuge Liang, as the prime minister, only needs to do a good job in overall management, and the following people do things in a measured manner, and Zhuge Liang really doesn't need to worry too much.

There are Zhao Yun and Pang De in the direction of Liangzhou, Zhang Xi in Yongzhou, Zhang Fei, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, Dong He in the Yizhou court, and Guan Yu, Xu Shu and Wang Ji in Jingzhou. These people have all proved their abilities, and some people's abilities are not even under his Zhuge Liang.

Since Zhang Xi has already thought of a way to garrison Yongzhou, and Zhuge Liang can't think of a better one for a while, it is better to let Zhang Xi do it. At least in terms of the use of troops, Zhuge Liang at this time really didn't dare to say that he was stronger than Zhang Xi.

Therefore, after the two discussed, Zhuge Liang did not raise any more objections, but turned his head and began to wash, preparing to participate in the meeting with the family.

The two men discussed defense and discussed for a night, and by the time they were about to formulate a strategy, it was dawn.

Therefore, both of them did not sleep all night and went directly to the next day's official business.

Bargaining with the family, this Zhuge Liang has experience, and before coming, Zhuge Liang deliberately stayed in Hanzhong for one night, in addition to paying homage to the late Hubu Shangshu Liu Ba, Zhuge Liang also thought of a strategy to deal with this matter according to Liu Ba's last words.

Therefore, after Zhuge Liang saw these Guanzhong families, he was not polite, and directly put forward his own ideas.

And the Guanzhong family didn't expect Zhuge Liang to come so quickly.

The front foot heard the rumor that the imperial court was going to send officials to intervene in this official smuggling matter, and the Guanzhong family originally planned to fool Zhang Xi before the arrival of this so-called imperial court official, so that he could finalize the matter first.

The history of the Yongzhou assassination, the book of the military department, the matter decided by the dignified Han Tuogu minister, a court official, even if he comes, what can he do? !

Do you dare to directly overturn it and not admit it?!

But who would have thought that it would only take five or six days for the officials of the imperial court to arrive.

And it was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang.

Okay, why is this here? Is there no government affairs to deal with in Chengdu?!

As soon as this one arrived, even if he fooled Zhang Xi into making a decision in advance, he could really overturn it completely.

Who made the family not only the prime minister of the general regent, but more importantly, the minister of the orphans.

And I heard rumors that these two ministers have been intersecting since the end of the day, and you expect to use the contradiction between the two to sow discord and seek benefits. That's not even a thought about it.

As for Zhuge Liang, he did not directly overturn some of Zhang Xi's decisions as expected by these families.

Zhuge Liang is such a bad person, and he has a lot of experience in dealing with the family, how can he do this kind of thing as soon as he comes up.

Zhuge Liang met with the family this time, and at first he didn't mention any smuggling of grain, he just called these families and told them that now the snow disaster in Guanzhong, the people are displaced, and the relief of the court is unfavorable.

It looks like a disaster relief mobilization meeting.

But the problem is that no one in the Guanzhong family would think that Zhuge Liang traveled thousands of miles from Chengdu to Chang'an just to hold such a disaster relief mobilization meeting with the family.

Therefore, a certain head of the family looked at the situation and asked cautiously.

"This is my duty, I don't dare to disobey my orders. It's just that the previous Zhang Assassin Shi had a life, calling on us to help the victims, we look at the feelings of the hometown, the face of the assassination, we have already rescued the disaster twice, and we have done our best, and now the prime minister's life, I am afraid that we will be powerless."

That means, Zhang Xi has been here twice before, and we have fulfilled our responsibilities, even if this matter is overcome, it is impossible for the Guanzhong elders to blame us, and they will only complain that the government is not good for disaster relief.

Although you are the prime minister, if you don't have any practical benefits, you can't do it again and again, right?!

Zhuge Liang naturally understood the meaning of these family words, but he didn't care, just smiled slightly, and said, "All the gentlemen are honest gentlemen, and the heart of this disaster relief is also known by Liang, but today's words are not the orders of the imperial court, only for what Liang asks for and the gentlemen can do what they can." ”

Let's say this, it's just a bit of a fog in the clouds, and it's not bright enough.

But there is one point, Zhuge Liang himself admits that as long as the family does this, it is that he Zhuge Liang owes everyone a favor.

The favor of the prime minister of the dynasty is very useful, but how can it be so easy to owe?!

Some people don't understand, dismiss, and make up their minds not to come up with anything but some people. Those who can understand will naturally understand what Zhuge Liang means.

At the mobilization meeting that day, Zhuge Liang did not forcibly ask the families to express their positions, and after a good meal and drink, he was sent away directly.

It makes Zhang Xi a little unclear. In this way, how can you say that these families will be mobilized to dig out fire and charcoal for disaster relief, and how can they arrange the problem of food smuggling in the future?!

Zhuge Liang smiled and asked Zhang Xi to calm down for a while, and he would understand at night.

Then Zhang Xi really understood.

As soon as it was nightfall, someone came to visit Zhangxi's Yongzhou Thorn History Mansion overnight.

To tell you the truth, this is very unruly, how can anyone come to visit so unknowingly after nightfall, it's too rude.

But so be it. Who asked the people who came to visit, they were all famous and surnamed people in the Guanzhong family.

Coupled with Zhuge Liang's special instructions, these people were able to meet Zhang Xi and Zhuge Liang, who was temporarily living in Yongzhou's Thorn Mansion.

The next thing is to get rid of it thoroughly.

This time, Zhuge Liang didn't pretend anymore and hid it.

Zhuge Liang directly made it clear to these visiting clans that the grain smuggling matter presided over by Zhang Xi was beneficial to the imperial court, which could not only supplement the grain and grass urgently needed by the Han Dynasty, but also weaken Cao Wei, which must be carried out.

But the problem is that Zhuge Liang feels that such a big matter is smuggling, and it must not be done with great fanfare like Zhang Xi, and it is impossible for the entire Guanzhong family to participate.

With such a big fanfare, it won't take long for Cao Wei to discover the problem, and then strictly investigate and stop this kind of thing, and this kind of smuggling will naturally not last long.

Therefore, it must only be possible to find a small number of families to participate, and at the same time, the heads of these families must be the kind of people who know how to advance and retreat, and know the stakes, so that they can be qualified to participate in this kind of thing.

And tonight, it's just a selection of these family candidates.

Only those who can understand Zhuge Liang's words during the day, and at the same time make a decision tonight, come to visit Zhuge Liang's family, are qualified to participate in this matter. These people are smart, and they have the courage and decisiveness to manage such a matter of great interest.

Saying that, these Guanzhong families who came to visit tonight were all smiling, and they made the right bet.

But then, Zhuge Liang changed the topic again and showed his own conditions to these families.

The imperial court can purchase the grain smuggled by these families at twice the price of the Han grain, but these things cannot be traded on the surface, they must be private transactions, of course, these grain transactions, the imperial court will not levy taxes.

After all, it's smuggling.

However, if the Guanzhong family wants to empty the white wolf and operate this matter by owing five baht on credit, paper, and Shu brocade, the court will not agree.

The five-baht coin is legal tender, and the reason why the imperial court wants to trade these smuggled grains privately with the family is also to maintain the stability of the currency and ensure that the purchasing power of the five-baht coin will not be affected by this, and the reason why it is not taxed is also this.

Therefore, it is impossible to owe the five baht money to the Guanzhong family on credit, and the Guanzhong family needs to take out enough goods that can be traded openly in exchange, or pledge the loan with the land title deed, and the imperial court will give some support in this regard.

The paper can be negotiated and authorized to be sold to the families involved in smuggling, but it can only be for the Central Plains, Hebei and other places who are responsible for which region, everyone said that it is okay, so as not to have a dispute and hurt the peace.

As for Shu brocade, this thing is a luxury item, no matter where it is traded, it is subject to taxation, otherwise, the Shu family really wants to make a hindrance and sell Shu brocade at a high price, and this court can't control it.

Shu brocade does not belong to the necessities needed for the people's livelihood, and the imperial court has no compulsory pricing power in Shu brocade.

However, regarding the tax issue of Shu Jin's transaction in Guanzhong, this imperial court can make an exception and give a tax that is a little lower than the current transaction tax, as for how much this tax is, it can be discussed by the Guanzhong family and the Shuzhong family, and then reported to Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang will decide.

In addition, once it is decided to carry out official smuggling, then the imperial court will not just hand over all the things to the family to operate, and the imperial court will also issue some indicators.

However, in order to avoid some fraudulent behaviors, the imperial court will also arrange some supervisors in the smuggling team to act with the smuggling team, and even when necessary, the family can also mobilize the Han army to assist them in completing the smuggling.

Zhuge Liang's combination punch came down, and directly beat the heads of the family who came to visit tonight a little confused.

Zhuge Liang said these things, some of them are places that make the Guanzhong family suffer, and some are places that let the Guanzhong family take advantage, but whether it is more losses or more advantages, this has to be carefully pondered.

Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry, and also gave these families time to think, and there was no intention of urging at all.

But these families can't think so.

Yes, they need time to think about the pros and cons, but at the same time, they can't let their spot slip away.

Zhuge Liang can say this tonight, and tomorrow night to put it another way, it is not the same to be able to recruit a group of families to be shortlisted for this smuggling quota?!

Therefore, the next day, the Yongzhou Thorn Mansion received relief materials from several families, saying that these families could not bear to see the disaster in Xiangzi, and it was also for the sake of the court to share their worries and do their best.

Not only is there a large amount of grain and medicinal materials, but there are also 5,000 catties of charcoal and charcoal, which are most urgently needed by Zhangxi today.
