Chapter 111: Longzhong is right on the couch
Zhuge Jin released words to meet Lu Su, and Lu Su had to wait.
It's not an exaggeration to come to someone else's land and be kind enough to entertain someone for a few days, right? If you don't wait for this time, you will be embarrassed.
However, Zhuge Jin was very busy, and he had too much official business for two or three days in a row. I had to let people eat and drink well first, and divide the fields and houses to the Lu family.
Lu Su had no choice but to follow his clansmen to survey the land first and take over the manor - his uncles and brothers had long been angry about him selling the fields in his hometown.
Now that he has arrived in Jiangnan, there is a local county guard who is willing to divide the land, which directly ignites the emotions of the Lu family, and once again presses Lu Su to accept it in person.
On the first day of the seventh month, the day after arriving in Wuhu, Lu Su and several of his main relatives were led by the officials of Hucao County to the outskirts of the city, 30 miles south of the city, and carved a large piece of land by a tributary stream on the east bank of Jingshui.
The county official also knew that Zhuge County Cheng attached great importance to this family, so he didn't dare to fool him, and personally pointed to the mountain stream and explained to Lu Su:
"I heard that there are nearly 200 family members and 3 or 400 slaves in the gentleman's family. This piece of land, just in the gentle area near the stream, is 3,000 steps long from east to west and 800 steps wide from north to south.
According to the middle-aged male man's cultivation of 100 steps of vertical and horizontal fields, it is enough for two or three hundred Ding Zhuang to cultivate. If Mr. feels that it is not enough, he can also reclaim some of the gently sloping fields in the surrounding area, but the irrigation is more cumbersome.
The county is now implementing a new policy, giving preferential treatment to the newly arrived Huainan righteous people, and those who can reclaim the land on their own will not collect rent for ten years. However, if the government needs to supply iron tools and cattle, it can only enjoy no levy for five years, and half of the levy for the sixth to tenth years.
Whether you are a hero or not, you have no basis for saying it, you still have to see it yourself. In today's world, good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose masters. If Sun Ce made a decision after seeing only one mere thing, it would be like entering Baoshan and returning it. β
But after Zhuge Jin listened to it thoroughly, he found out that Lu Su's thoughts were actually secretly in line with him, and what Lu Su emphasized was still "avenging the first emperor is the opportunity".
It's not for that benefit, but it's curious what kind of specific policies Danyang County will use to benefit the people and attract Liushi, and Zhuge Jin's internal affairs style can also be observed from this.
The county official said proudly: "There are many things you can't imagine! Zhuge Fujun will point to the alchemy of copper into gold, and Zhuge Jun will climb the Yellow Mountain to walk on the ground of the flying immortal art, do you also want to tell you? I only know that the Shanyue people are so happy and convinced, and the five bodies are thrown to the ground, and it is your business whether you are convinced or not. β
Today, we know what Lu Su meant when he said "Cao thieves cannot be eliminated suddenly, and the Han family cannot be revived".
Lu Su: "How dare you, the contemptible people of Shanye Village, these few days have happened to see the prosperity of Wuhu, Jingxian and other places, and it has been an eye-opener." The ability of the Fujun brothers to govern the people is really the only thing that Su Ping's life has seen. β
However, from what the county official said just now, Lu Su could also keenly grasp another important piece of information, and this information was very unexpected to him.
Lu Su was shocked, of course he could see that the rudeness of the county official was from the bottom of his heart, and it could be seen that he sincerely admired Shangguan, not a flattering person.
Lu Su saw that the other party was so direct, and he didn't want to lie, so he said bluntly:
Only if there is no such thing as the founding of the country in the different positions of the master and servant, or even the founding of the country and the foundation of the emperor who has never held the righteous ministers of the first emperor hostage to avenge the first emperor, can it last for a long time, because there are often ambitious people, and there are not often enemies who can create an excuse for you to change the dynasty like Xiang Yu killed the monarch. β
Lu Su: "......"
He only checked it a little, and sighed tentatively:
When the county official said this, his tone was very proud, and he seemed to be very proud of being able to do things under Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang. He was originally explained that he should be polite to Lu Su, but Lu Su actually questioned the internal political effect of the Zhuge brothers and their ability to entrap Shanyue, which he absolutely couldn't bear.
In the past, Emperor Gao wanted to respect the righteous emperor but did not get it, and Xiang Yu was harmed. Today's Cao Cao, Xiang Yu in the past, why did the prince of the mansion have to be Huan Jinhu? Suppressing the material, the Han family cannot be revived, and Cao Cao cannot be eliminated suddenly.
Dong Zhuo's generation is so good that the people of the world know that they don't respect the Son of Heaven, but just treat the Son of Heaven as a puppet. They are openly disrespectful, and people all over the world will be wary of them, and people with lofty ideals will not go to the Chang'an court to seek officials.
Could it be that what Fujun said, it was Liu Xuandehu, the general of Zhengnan who was the only one county left in Guangling, and who was still breathing? That general Zhengnan, Su Shengping really rarely heard of his deeds, it seems that he came from a humble background, and in the past two years, he suddenly rose. β
If Cao Cao usurps the Han in the future, and the unrighteous master avenges the Han, the world will inevitably fall into a long-term war, and Cao Cao's important ministers and generals will be like the princes begging for Dong and Cao Cao ordering Duan to beg for Li Dao, and then replace Cao. Anyway, the world is used to this kind of thing, Dong Zhuo can be killed, Li Dao can be killed, and Cao Cao's descendants can't be killed?
The first Qin rites collapsed, Qilu could not serve the Son of Heaven, Lu Chen and Ji Sun and other three Huan could not serve Lu, and Yang Hu, a retainer of the Ji Sun family, could not serve Ji Sun. The princes will win the Son of Heaven, the doctor will win the princes, and the scholars will win the doctor, and they will fight for 500 years.
Lu Su was thrilled by Zhuge Jin's description, and hurriedly expressed his sincere attitude that he must observe carefully.
Zhuge Jin stepped forward, and Yun lightly helped him up: "It's very simple, although I am vaguely aware of this idea, but 'Your Majesty's vein cannot be revived' does not mean that 'the Han family cannot be revived', among today's clans, there are heroes and people with great ambitions who are far better than Sun Ce and Er Yuan, so I still have to be determined to help the Han family." β
Lu Su also changed his positive color and sincerely asked for advice: "I don't question it, I just think it's incredible." Shanyue is harmful, it has been many years, and at the beginning, he was as strong as the old car cavalry general Zhu Gong, and he was able to conquer and suppress it, but it could not make it peaceful for a long time.
Lu Su smiled and shook his head: "Difficult, if it is really the matter of building Qi Huan and Jinwen, can it still make Emperor Han turn back into a hypocrite like Zhou Tianzi?" If not, then it is just taking the situation Cao Cao faced on himself.
He has completely admitted that Brother Zhuge is far more powerful than him, but he should not be reused, and he will not be given a good platform to display his ambitions.
Zhuge Jin listened to what he meant just now, and it seemed to be somewhat similar to this point of view, so he wanted to induce the other party to see what the other party's true intention was. This kind of opportunity to dissect famous historical scenes is not rare.
β¦β¦
"Zhuge Mansion Jun's opinion on this aspect is even above me? However, it is biased towards what I said, and it should be the prelude to the royal prelude, and many words cannot be said as unscrupulously as I do.
He originally prepared several sets of rhetoric, but now he decided to omit it temporarily, and directly asked:
It is like the criminal law only talks about "killing a person", but does not discuss whether the motive is "intentional homicide" or "legitimate defense". The spirit of "unity of subjectivity and objectivity" of the criminal law was thrown directly into the trash.
Zhuge Jin carefully observed his tone and expression, and judged that what he said was sincere, knowing that his propaganda work had already worked, and he would be able to save a lot of twists and turns.
The county official was very skilled in business, and replied: "Of course, it is the blue wisps of the road that open up the wasteland from scratch, so that there are such benefits." However, if the ripe fields have been abandoned for many years, such as those that have been abandoned since the Zhongping period, they can barely be regarded as re-cultivated. β
Lu Su's expression was dazed, and he was still a little incredulous. Zhuge Jin summoned Zhuge Liang and gave two orders, and Zhuge Liang came back with his things a few minutes later.
More than 20,000 Han people were also screened out, and they were all persuaded to resettle and re-engage in industry. β
But now Cao Cao is much more hidden than Dong Zhuo, he can not only make the Son of Heaven have no real power, but also exclude Yang Feng, Han Xian and other escorts from the imperial court.
Removing restrictions on means and motives and talking about the results alone is simply hooliganism.
In just three days, the fields and houses were divided, and the search and travel in various parts of Wuhu opened Lusu's eyes.
For a master, other abilities are not the first priority, the first thing is ambition, which is the first source of motivation to drive the team to work forward.
If it is said that this mountain is more harmful, it may have been a bit serious two months ago, but now Zu Lang has ordered the strict restraint of the subordinates, and the Han and the Yue will not offend each other.
Of course, the manor house that their family was finally assigned to could not have grown on the "wasteland" by themselves, so it was just a private house in the south of the city that belonged to the rebellious general Jiang Qin a month ago. After Sun Ce's subordinates ran away, the house remained, and it was confiscated and redistributed.
The good people of the Han people, seeing that this place is close to the edge of the mountain, fear Wanling's Shanyue village tribes go down the mountain from time to time, and the northern part of Danyang has been killed by Sun Ce and Liu Xuan's fierce battles, and a lot of empty fields have been vacated, and the people of Wuhu have many people to go north, and these places are empty. β
Lu Su saw the people of Wuhu living and working in peace and contentment, and also went to Wanling and Jing County to open his eyes, and saw with his own eyes that the people of Shanyue were indeed happy and convinced by the Zhuge brothers - of course, during the whole process, someone must have protected him and would not let him walk away.
Zhuge Jin asked this question, also because of the two sentences that Lu Su said to Sun Quan, "The Han family cannot be revived, and the Cao thief cannot be eliminated suddenly", which is too famous in history, and its popularity is second only to Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei's Longzhong pair.
Poor Yi Zhongtian and other half-understood people took half of Lu Su's sentence out of context, but deliberately ignored the eight words "Cao Cao of today, Xiang Yu in the past" that Lu Su clearly said in the original text, and separately looked at "the Han family cannot be revived", which is simply the level of the editor of the shock department.
"Hahahahaha......" After Zhuge Jin heard this, it was rare to look up to the sky and laugh, almost irrepressibly.
After finishing all the investigations, Lu Su came to a conclusion in his heart.
The biggest advantage of opening the country for the revenge of the first emperor is that others can't imitate it, and when you go ashore and look back at the first sword, you will kill all the followers.
Just like when Gaozu killed Xiang Yu to avenge Emperor Yi, he could truly return to his destiny. Because the matter of the difference between master and servant has been proven throughout the ages, and there will be countless times once.
The county official couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Although this place is good, after all, it is in the far suburbs, twenty or thirty miles away from the city, whether it began to be abandoned in the Zhongping period, I don't know, but since the Shanyue rebellion that year, there has been no rent here for many years."
If this matter can be accomplished, with the grand occasion of the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, and the protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials all over the world, wouldn't Cao Cao be able to find an excuse to frame anyone if he wanted to frame anyone in the future? Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are still brothers, Uncle Ling and General Sun are also Yuan Shu's former officials, shouldn't they beware of Cao Cao's use of the topic to expand the Zhulian?
Lu Su was shocked inexplicably, and it took a long time to come to his senses, and he kowtowed very sincerely for advice: "Fujun, Su has a question, don't ask unpleasantly!" Since you have long seen through this and know that the puppet of Xu Du cannot be revived, why do you still forcibly go against the sky and set up this ambition to support the Han family? β
Lu Su was not very concerned about money, but he still listened carefully to the introduction of the county official.
Today's Zhuge Jin looks a little taller than his brother who is five years younger, but Zhuge Liang is not yet a complete adult, and it is difficult to say in the future.
Zhuge Jin patted the other party on the shoulder: "Ah Liang is going to Guangling in a few days, you go to Sun Ce's place to deliver the letter first, and after getting the reply, you will go on a trip with Ah Liang to see and know."
During the whole process, Lu Su definitely admired the governance level of the Zhuge family. If he has Tao Yuanming's literary talent, it will be too high and low.
For example, today's trend, it seems that the princes are besieging the thief Yuan Shu who usurped the Han, but those who begged for the thief really didn't have the heart to usurp the Han? Yuan Shu has no son of heaven and stands on his own feet out of thin air, although this way of taking death, although he is strong for a while, but he is not enough to worry about in the long run.
If you want to regain long-term peace and stability in the world, the only way to do this is to have another male lord with the capital of the ancestors, stoop to keep his points, never hold the Son of Heaven hostage from beginning to end, never pretend to use the authority of the Son of Heaven for his own use, but in the end, after Cao Thief usurped the Han Dynasty, he raised righteous soldiers to kill and usurp to avenge the first emperor.
Zhuge Jin couldn't help but sit in front of the table slightly, and carefully scrutinized: "Listening to Zijing's meaning, do you think that the Han family cannot be revived?" β
It can be seen that Lu Su is actually a seriously underestimated character, who was 1,300 years earlier than Liu Ji, Song Lian, and Fang Xiaoru, and realized the huge difference between "taking the initiative to kill people and open up the country" and "fighting the back, defending themselves, and avenging the first emperor and opening the country" for the legitimacy and stability of the rule after winning the country.
With this thought and complicated admiration, on the morning of the fourth day of the seventh month, he finally waited for Zhuge Jin's personal reception.
In such a short period of time, it is certainly impossible to write it now. And whether it is a freshly written or an old object, you can judge whether the ink is dry and whether the paper is moist.
When the magistrate heard this, he seemed to feel a little insulted, and immediately protested: "Why doesn't the gentleman know what to do! The county is kind enough to settle the gentleman's clan, how can he think about it?
"That being the case, I don't know if Zijing intends to serve under his command? Although I, the Danyang Taishou, only govern the land of seven counties, but in time, I can also recommend you to the new Yangzhou pastor - Liu Gongli is new, the position of Yangzhou pastor is vacant, presumably the imperial court will soon appoint a new Yangzhou pastor. β
Why did Zhuge Mansion Jun subdue Shanyue so thoroughly in just two months? Can you do nothing with Han Qiu? It's short-sighted, it's hard to imagine. β
Six counties such as Jing County in the south, originally accumulated for many years, there were always 20,000 or 30,000 young and strong people who had nothing to do, and now they all helped Fujun to open mines, rectify Jingshui, and repair roads, all of which have found work.
Zhuge Jin slowed down for a long time, and finally stopped laughing, Yun Danfeng waved his hand lightly: "What you said, but it did not exceed the scope of my separate call with His Majesty in Lantai last year, my answer with His Majesty last year, and later there was a memory dictation, which was recorded by Ah Liang for me, Zijing or not, let Ah Liang take it for you to see." β
"The Han family cannot be revived", of course, it means that the bloodline in the center of Liu Xie's line cannot be revived, Lu Su said to Sun Quan in history, and it is normal that he did not take Liu Bei into account.
After listening to the words of the county official, Lu Su was a little unbelieving at first, but he didn't show it, just knocked on the side and asked: "I can't afford to rent in the past ten years, it's just for land reclamation, right?" For the ripe land that was once cultivated, or was briefly abandoned because of the exile of the people, replanting it can also exempt it from taxation for so many years? β
"The cause of Emperor Gao" cannot simply be interpreted as "the cause of changing the dynasty", but it must be further interpreted as "using the means of avenging the previous emperor and changing the dynasty".
Because Zhuge Jin's insight is far better than him, Lu Su is now completely convinced, and he does not doubt him when he hears the words.
"The gentleman of the house is very elegant, and he is admired by the people. But in today's troubled times, the Magi choose not only their talents, but also their aspirations. The prince of the house is extraordinary, but his ambition is insufficient, and he can't rush to trust him.
This is actually similar to the story of "Emperor Yi, Xiang Yu, and Gaozu" told by Zhuge Jin to Liu Xie before leaving Xu Du last year.
β¦β¦
When Lu Su heard him say this, his face changed slightly, but he didn't directly deny it, but defended himself: "I don't know if the Han family can be revived, but the puppet emperor of Xu Du is definitely impossible to revive." β
There was a case half a month ago, and there were still a few Shanyue thieves who went down the mountain to kill and plunder, but after the government executed, the chief had already sent the head of the thief leader to behead, and the rest of the accomplices were also handed over and sent to the mine under the hard labor camp to dig copper.
can also take the opportunity of Yuan Shu to become the emperor now, take the opportunity to cut off the internal political enemies of Xu Du, and frame him on the grounds of the in-laws of Taiwei Yang Biao and Yuan Shu-
However, his lofty intentions and desire to be a teacher of a hundred generations are far above me! β
So it's been at least five or six years of desertion here - He Jin, the general of the year, has always used Danyang soldiers until he was killed by the Ten Standing Servants, and it has been seven years, and Tao Qian stopped recruiting Danyang soldiers later than He Jin.
Lu Su grasped a suspicious point to himself, and pointed to the good field in front of him: "Then this field also began to be abandoned in the Zhongping years?" There are no trees and rocks here, only some wild grass, which must have been planted. And it's close to the stream and easy to irrigate, so how can no one want it? β
As soon as Lu Su touched the paper of the scroll, he knew that it was definitely not written in recent months, and then he took a closer look at it, and couldn't help but become more and more shocked.
After listening to this, Lu Su thought in his heart that Shanyue in the north of Yangzhou was relatively peaceful when he was making a yellow scarf. The large-scale can't go on, mainly because after He Jin and Tao Qian stopped recruiting Danyang soldiers, Shanyue Qingzhuang lost a way out of employment, and began to harass the place.
Zhuge Jin bowed slightly, ordered to set up a couch next to him, and then said: "Brother Zijing, I have heard for a long time that you are anxious for justice and righteousness, so I want to see you by name." You can't blame me for being busy and keeping you waiting for two more days, right? β
Lu Su is 25 years old this year, and he has already formed his own three views, and he feels that blindly relying on the old methods to save Han has no future, and he must find another way.
Helplessly, rhetoric and writing are not his forte, so he can only sigh in vulgar language.
Although Zhuge Jin's appearance is slightly inferior, there is another positive and introverted atmosphere, which is easy to make people feel deeply hidden.
In his previous life, he felt that when he saw Yi Zhongtian talking nonsense on the hundred forums, saying that "Lu Su was the first top strategist to put forward anti-Han in the late Han Dynasty", he felt abnormal and could not understand it in this way.
But Cao Cao Ming respects the Son of Heaven very much on his face, although he punishes dissidents, he can still induce the world's corporal to go to Xu Du to seek officials, and those who die in the future will be Cao's also. And to save the world and resist this usurpation, there must be a heroic hero-Zhuge Mansion Jun, with all due respect, you are not ambitious enough, and it is better to count on Sun Ce than to count on you. β
The real danger is the lurking traitors who still seem to be humble now, but in the name of the king, they take the opportunity to expand their power. This kind of person is not only more dangerous than people like Yuan Shu who act vainly and self-reliantly, but even more dangerous than Dong Zhuo and those who serve the king but do not respect the king.
In addition, for sloping fields and mountains and forests that are not suitable for growing grain, they can be discounted to pay for grain. The government will provide tea seeds and teach tree planting techniques, and pay only 100 yuan per 50 mu a year, that is, two yuan per mu. The first ten years are likewise tax-free. β
Lu Su's words, Rao is Zhuge Jin had a preconceived impression of him, but he still heard it refreshingly.
"Linhuai savage Lu Su, meet Zhuge Fujun. Meng Fujun took care of his clansmen and was grateful. β
"The Zhuge brothers' talent for governing the world is really incredible, it can be described as a capable minister who governs the world, and a lonely loyalty. It's a pity that he is indifferent and has no ambition, and it is difficult to be the master. Although Sun Ce is far inferior to him in other aspects, he is better than ...... ambition."
Zhuge Jin's heart moved, and for the purpose of temptation, he pretended to steal Sun Quan's lines in history, and then said, "Really...... My life's volunteer, is to help the Han family, when today's son is declining, I want to slowly accumulate strength, in order to wait for the world to change, think about the merits of Huanwen, respect the king and thieves. I don't know if Zijing thinks this is okay? β
Lu Su saw Zhuge Jin suddenly laughing wildly, and he was a little confused for a while, thinking that he felt that he was unrealistic and too arrogant.
According to Lu Su's observation of Danyang's local governance, Zhuge Jin definitely lacks that "ruthlessness", and his motivation is insufficient. This is not only far inferior to Cao Cao, but even inferior to Sun Ce, Er Yuan, and Lu Bu, at best, it can only be compared with Liu Biao and Liu Zhang.
Lu Su really couldn't bear it, and finally endured his temperament and asked, "Why is Fu Jun laughing?" Do you think what I'm saying is too rebellious? β
He couldn't help but ask: "Listen to what you mean, the problem of mutual fear between Shanyue and Hanmin has existed here for many years, but now it has been solved?" Or did it take the sake of the Lu family's strong crossbow and arrows to bring us here to reclaim? β
"Fu Jun is so far-sighted, he can still feel that this person is a hero, and he must be extraordinary. Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Zhang in Yizhou are not worthy of the title of heroes, and Liu Miao has died.
β¦β¦
Ambition is common, but Xiang Yu is not.
Lu Su was led to the main hall of the Taishou Mansion and met him very officially, which was also the first time he saw Zhuge Jin with his own eyes.
