"And food? This is not necessary, we have already broken with the Cao family, and it is not too necessary to send food and money again. ”

"If you want to make good relations, not attacking is already the greatest sincerity, you can expand to the west, and you must be ready to cooperate and trade with the clans in the frontier at any time in exchange for gold and iron."

"It's easy to graze outside the plug, and now the climate is warmer, which is different from back then."

"It's better to give the food to the Cao family than to keep it for yourself and scatter it among the people."

Jia Xu didn't think it was any good to go and hook up with the Cao family again, and the gift of grain to the southern expedition was obviously just showing his attitude, and the 200,000 grain was just expressing Xu Zhen's attitude and leaving a room for relaxation in the relationship between them.

In fact, there is no need for this leeway.

Over the years, the Gandeshi clan has been trembling, and the so-called people's hope is no longer to look at the faces of the scholars, but to look at the minds of the people.

The people's hearts have been attached, and the popularity is enough, and Xu Zhen can easily attract many scholars under his command.

To be honest, the current Xu Zhen is almost the head of the scholar clan, although he has no name, but it is his words that determine the promotion of officials.

Jia Xu, Ma Chao, Ma Liang, Yang Xiu and others were all children of the Shi clan, and they followed behind Xu Zhen with the same heart.

After coming back from the south, there should actually be no worries, Jia Xu talked about this and thought about it carefully, he felt that the rider might not know how powerful he was.

"Che Qi, now, what kind of business can be developed, Xiliang grazing can have thousands of war horses re-enter the camp every year, and there is no need to bow to anyone anymore."

Jia Xu mentioned such a sentence, with a strong sense of fire in his eyes, and he also had a slight expectation.

If the fight starts, the world can be chaotic again, and chaos will require a new order, and the person who formulates the new order will be able to ascend to this position.

"Hmph, it's not the right time."

Xu Zhen still smiled and shook his head without the slightest hesitation.

"Let's wait until the red cliff is finished."

Xu Zhen got up and left, with a smile on his face even more, his hands behind his back, and Chengzhu in his chest, but no one guessed his thoughts.

Even an old fox like Jia Xu can only get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg in his heart.

"Perhaps, the chariot is waiting for the prime minister's next move," Jia Xu's Zhuge Liang glanced at each other.

Zhuge Liang clapped his hands suddenly, "That's right, I should indeed be waiting for this result!" If the prime minister is defeated, the reunification will be a failure, and the only way to retreat to Xudu is to enter Yecheng. ”

"If it wins, it's the same, the prime minister's gift to the Duke of Wei has already reached the stage of three moves, in the words of the master, it is the operation of changing the house book is only one step away."

"What does it mean to kick in the door?"

Jia Xu hurriedly asked.

On weekdays, there are indeed a lot of witty words on the bike, so it is not easy to react at first glance, if you don't understand, of course, you don't understand which passage this is quoting from the scriptures.

Zhuge Liang obviously didn't know, but this was not an important part of the conversation in the first place, he immediately looked at Ma Chao and said with a smile: "Meng Qi really doesn't need to worry, the real opportunity is indeed after Chibi, and the master definitely didn't lie to us." ”

"Now the plan, instead of waiting for Xu Du to enter the Duke of Wei, it is better to go to this Sichuan and Shu, Hanzhong Zhang Lu has been entrenched for many years, it is better to lead the army to attack Shu, on the grounds that Shu has not paid tribute for more than ten years, and has not sent officials to report to the Son of Heaven before the reason, it is the reason to go out of the school, and Zhang Lu is indeed a chaotic minister and thief, and it is enough to attack him directly."

Ma Chao's eyes narrowed, but he was helpless, now he was on Xu Bowen's thief ship, but when he thought of the civil and military forces under his command, he was so strong and brave, and his ministers were all resourceful.

It only depends on whether his ambition is here, but in any case, following Xu Zhen behind him is always much easier to get closer to that position than to stand on his own feet.

Ma Chaoxi reads military books, and also reads some other books, and the Jiangmen family is not only all military generals, not only military books and Tao Strategy, they like to read Confucianism the most.

The style of respecting Confucianism has been followed for hundreds of years, and it is impossible to change it, and Confucian students who have read books will be superior to others unconsciously, and generals in the army must also respect military advisors.

Therefore, the Ma family of Xiliang also wants to have a group of people who are officials, but unfortunately, there is no great Confucian who does learning in their veins.

Back then, Ma Rong was so knowledgeable that he couldn't get close, wasting the texture of Fufeng's literary collection.

Now following Xu Zhen, I can see a glimmer of hope, I hope that in the future, I don't have to entrust the whole family to the merits of the frontier, this merit is indeed not small, but if it cannot be transformed into other merits for generations, it may be left in the history of only a "high merit of hard work".

……

The western desert is barren, mostly mountains, and there is not much grass on the plains, and there are many barren lands.

The desert yellow sand is innumerable in the border land, and it can only be passed without horseback, and there is still a long way to go to Sichuan and Shu.

Xu Zhen can still feel the wind and sand in Fufeng, as well as food, not to mention the delicacy of the Jiangnan generation, Xu Du's prosperity over the years can't even compare with the fish markets of Ji and You.

And now he seems to be a state pastor and a stabbing history, but in fact, he can already be the king here.

It's just that I can't say it in name.

If there are enough people and enough land, we must think about how to use these manpower.

In addition to the previous method of cultivating tuntian and the reward system for dividing fields, it is necessary to add a mineral.

Here, if I remember correctly, there are a lot of mineral resources, not only gold and iron, but most importantly, there is also a salt mountain, and the Tiangong Institute has already left the method of refining salt.

It is necessary to excavate on a large scale before the population can be resettled, and it is necessary for people to work, and not all of them are unemployed vagrants in places such as Xiliang, Bingzhou, and Yongzhou.

Since you follow yourself, you have to find a way to settle all these people, and you will have to develop them in the future.

Just to build a house, the current reserve of money in the territory is still enough to consume, but it is only enough to consume.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong both followed Xu Zhen to wander around the Tiangong Courtyard, the Tiangong Courtyard built in Fufeng County, in the original mansion of the local wealthy family, in the suburbs.

There are pastures and a wasteland.

There is no way to cultivate it as a field, and there are no fruit forests, so you can only try to grow forage or use it for hiking in the countryside.

Therefore, Xu Zhen chose the Tiangong Institute here, which can store a large number of materials and build four huge warehouses of more than 30,000 square meters.

Not only can you store grain, but you can also put a lot of mine income.

"Now, I can't fight."

Xu Zhen and these two people told the truth.

Because Pang Tong is a smart man who has followed him from Jingzhou thousands of miles away, Zhuge Liang is not only a smart person, but also his protégé, but also a confidant.

These things can be told to them.

Besides, how much money is in the territory, Zhuge Liang, Chen Deng, and Yang Xiu are in charge of various places, and they have always been able to see clues, and they must be aware of it.

These three people are also smart people, and Kong Ming and Yuan Long are both extremely good at internal affairs, and they are easy to use money and manage public security.

"Once there is a war, I will give you a reward, and if there is no substantial reward, who will give you your life?"

"There are too many people who follow me, it's a good thing and it's not a good thing, at least not now, it's a huge burden now, and we need a year or two to mint coins."

"Minting will reduce the value of the five-baht coin, but the value is determined by us, so as long as there is enough foundation to maintain, the value will not collapse, and the value of the currency can have a lot to do with the value of its exchange."

"After the resettlement, daily necessities, such as wood, minerals, furniture, labor, etc., can be paid, as long as our government office has enough money for circulation and operation, and there is a large amount of material hoarding, producing products from all walks of life, it means that this stall can be flattened, but there must be no war."

"Once the fight starts, the amount of money needed is huge, and if we don't talk about victory or defeat, or mental wear and tear, our economy will definitely collapse."

More words than usual.

These words made Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong look at each other at the same time, and he used many novel words to say some principles of a country's economic lifeline.

In short, once you start fighting, you will burn money.

Now Xiliang can't afford to burn.

No wonder he couldn't tell Ma Chao this, because once he learned that Xu Zhen had to surrender in order to stabilize the economy in the country, he might have other thoughts.

"Only by cultivating cotton and enriching the people can we gain time and ensure that there is no chaos in the territory."

Pang Tong has understood his words, if you can't fight, you can't fight, and now you want time.

However, they can't think of any countermeasures for creating something out of nothing, and if they don't trade with foreigners, they can only wait for the harvest every year and gradually improve.

People's hearts are stable, they can afford to wait but can't afford to consume, fighting a war will accelerate consumption, Xu Zhen can't rely on his charm to trick the people into supporting the war with Xu Du.

In this way, all the fame accumulated over the years will be consumed, and this is the collapse.

"Now, what to do?"

The two of them asked at the same time, already knowing the real situation now, and they both wanted to know what kind of trick Xu Zhen had to solve the problem of reserves and harvests in a year or two.

Grain, cloth, silk thread, ores, etc., can increase the income in a few years.

"Don't do it, only do it first, so that the people can see it, and it should not be those scholars and ministers who are honest and honest, nor should they be famous people, but the people."

"If you are willing to do things, everything will be fine."

Xu Zhen stepped into the Tiangong Academy, and his back was not majestic, but what he said shocked the two of them.

Zhuge Liang has been exposed to it for a long time, but Pang Tong is a little dazed in his mind, a seed is planted in his heart, and he suddenly has more understanding of certain thoughts.

"It is indeed the most powerful to let the people come and judge the officials."

"The sages once said that water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, and the people are like water."

"Yes," Xu Zhen suddenly paused, "So now you have to cultivate and recuperate, and strive to develop internal affairs, only if you let the people live a good life, in the future, they will defend the territory in order to maintain a prosperous, tranquil and prosperous life, and such an army will have strength." ”

"There is no place for the heart to be secure, and the army is like a feather, and only the people's hearts are as stable as a rock."

"The car rides, and I am enlightened."

This is not difficult to understand, but Pang Tong was surprised that Xu Zhen called the people the people.

Although it was only a change in words, it was enough to make him look excited, because the meaning of it changed so much that it was not as simple as a single word.

He may have taken his life to heart, so many people followed.

Today, Pang Tong feels that he can already be called a public statement.

Such a rider deserves this honorific title.

"What Ming Gong thinks is admirable."

"My master, naturally."

Kong Ming and Shi Yuan looked at each other and smiled, and followed into the courtyard, both of them are now frequent visitors to Tiangong Academy, so after the people of the Pu clan grew stronger, they still respected Kong Ming as the "lord".

Knowing that he is a lover of the rider.

As for the later Pang Tong, he was a newcomer who often accompanied Kong Ming, and it was enough to see his status and respect in Xu Ying.

During this period of time, the two of them have made a lot of efforts to build the site of the Tiangong Institute, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have contributed money and efforts, and they have also taken out a lot of the accumulated family property, funded it, and put it into the Tiangong Institute.

Many people were secretly doing this, especially in Dian Wei's camp.

The money that Xu Zhen gave them, Dian Wei dispersed in addition to himself, and most of it was donated back to the government office.

With him in the lead, the soldiers under his command have also followed suit, so you say that Dian Wei's Qinghu Battalion is rich, but it is not rich.

You said that Xu Zhen's government team is poor, but it is really not poor.

When he needs money, there are always many people who can come up with a lot of money and materials, not to mention manpower, which is the most basic resource.

All he had to do was give him an order.

So, after a night of deliberation, the order to mine the mine was issued in Xiliang and Bingzhou on the second day, and the same was true for Youzhou.

All the mines were under the jurisdiction of the barracks, but the people were given money according to manpower, not by slaves.

All the stone was used to build the road.

Where the mountains cannot be opened, they will take a detour, try to let the war horses pass quickly, and build the truth that extends in all directions within a year.

At the same time, thousands of dead commanders who were loyal to Xu Zhen were promoted from the army, and they were sent to various places to supervise, and if they were found to enslave migrant workers, they could be immediately beheaded.

At this time, rumors inevitably spread, and some local wealthy families who couldn't take advantage of anything felt that this was simply a big construction project, which cost the people and money.

Now it seems that Xu Zhen can stabilize people's hearts and let the dead people be monitored everywhere, but in the next ten years, decades, can they be suppressed? !

As soon as Xu Zhen died, I don't know how many places would collapse.

This is not an option.

"What's not to be desired!"

When Xu Zhen received the news, he just smiled, now there is so much money in the warehouse, and he is still stepping up the minting of coins, and in the future, all grain merchants will be designated as official businessmen.

On the road to be built, a granary was built for the grain road.

After these effects come out, Xiliang and Bingzhou will definitely be peaceful places, and it will be more difficult to attack than the country of abundance with heavenly moats.

At that time, the people will realize the benefits and work harder.

"I can afford the price, I can afford the hearts of the people, and I can mobilize the whole people, what is there not to do? Who are they talking about? ”

Xu Zhen asked curiously.

"I don't know, but someone must spread it before it moves, otherwise how can the people say more? The people of Jizhou we brought have gradually stabilized, and the people of the riders have been grateful. ”

"And in the Yongliang area, most of the people recommended by Mr. Zhongde, most of them are inspected by him, there is little chaos, and the losers are angry, it should come from these people, and the chariots and horses divide the fields, which is the interests of the moving scholars."

"There must be someone secretly making trouble, and it seems that we still need to settle people's hearts."

"Tell Ma Chao to wait for me in the mine."

Xu Zhen frowned, carrying an iron pickaxe to go out, he was also keen to work with migrant workers these days, just because he didn't know who it was that day, he called him "Ming Gong".

He didn't know whether he was called "Ming Gong" or "Migrant Worker", but if he didn't work, the words Ming Gong and Migrant Worker might be inseparable.

If you want the hearts of the people, you still have to mingle with the people.
