"That's for sure, I'm all out, if I don't get the whole of Jingzhou back, I won't have the face to go back to Chang'an." Ma Jian nodded, and replied happily in the face of Zhuge Liang.

"At present, the eight counties of Jingzhou have all been re-established as the territory of the Han Dynasty, and Jiangling and the public security are also flying the banner of the Han Dynasty. The prime minister can send officials to receive it as soon as possible, after all, this is a rich state. ”

Although Jingzhou has suffered many years of war, it has always been the front line of the Han and Wu tug-of-wars. But this does not include Jingnan and the Gangneung area, which has developed relatively rich over the years.

At present, the whole country of Jihan is cultivating, and many places need money and grain subsidies. Now that a rich state has been repossessed all of a sudden, it is a huge support for the finances of the Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang was also very clear about this, and nodded slightly,

"The officials have already been prepared, and they can take office immediately. However, the original plan was to wait for next year's expedition, but I didn't expect Youchang to make such rapid progress, and now Jingzhou has been recovered. ”

"This can only be thanked to the common people Sun Quan for taking the initiative to send the opportunity......" Ma Tan spread his hands and reported to Zhuge Liang honestly.

There is no need to say much about the richness of Jingzhou, and Sun Quan, as a master of success, is even better at hoarding money and grain. In Jiangling City, Dongwu hoarded Jingzhou's tax money and grain for several years, and all of this was owned by the Han Dynasty with the recovery of Jingzhou.

There is no other reason, this harvest is too TM.

God knows how much financial pressure he has faced after so many years of doing this Shangshuling. Several financial deficits almost drove Jiang Wan crazy.

After seeing this batch of seizures reported, Jiang Wan once suspected that there was an element of false reporting. After repeatedly confirming that there was no moisture, the entire Shangshutai was ecstatic.

…………

He still remembers that before Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, he once said that after the first emperor Kuang helped the Han family, he returned to the grassland to farm. It turned out that in history, this grand wish was not fulfilled in the end, and the prime minister died of exhaustion in the middle.

Originally, Ma Jian didn't want to do anything to Jingzhou from the beginning, and he was still busy working overtime in Yizhou at the time. If Lu Xun hadn't come to the door by himself, he wouldn't have made such a big fuss.

Obviously, the financial deficit was unimaginable. It's hard to worry about this old minister who is older than Zhuge Liang, and he worries about the financial deficit every day.

"Well, as your master, I believe in you! Don't let me down! ”

Even now, Cao Wei still occupies the richest Central Plains Hebei, and fights to the death with all the troops of the world. But as long as it is properly managed, the victory of the Northern Expedition is just around the corner.

While the court was jubilant, Liu Chan quickly announced that he would reward the heroes of the southern expedition. Including Ma Tan, Xiang Pet, Liu Yin, and even Xing Daorong and others all have heavy rewards.

Zhuge Liang's words can be regarded as an expression of his attitude, and he must stick to his post until he dies. As for the rhetoric he made when he was young, in the end it was not worth the promise to the first emperor.

…………

Soon, the news of Jingzhou's recapture quickly spread throughout Chang'an. All the officials cheered, especially the Jingzhou faction officials, many of whom were in tears.

"Speaking of you, Prime Minister, do you remember the grass house in Wolong in the past?" At this time, Ma Jian suddenly interjected and asked Zhuge Liang curiously.

However, the benefits of recovering Jingzhou this time are far more than that.

"So the grass house in Wolong Mountain, if you still don't go back, let him continue to stay in the memory."

Since Guan Yu's defeat in Maicheng and the fall of Jingzhou, they have been like rootless duckweed. Now after more than ten years of desperate work, my hometown has finally returned.

These are still a major problem that plagues Jiang Wan. According to his and Fei Yi's predictions, it will take at least four years of recuperation to fully make up for the shortfall.

…………

"The prime minister is really loyal! But when we go back to Kanto, the prime minister will go back to Langya's hometown to take a look. Ma Yan said with a smile, and promised Zhuge Liang easily.

Soon, Li Hui's side had already reported the money and grain seized by Jiangling and the public security. When Shang Shutai received this report, all the officials, including Jiang Wan, were suppressed.

"Especially Gongyan, a few days ago, he asked me to say that he would have a chance to go back to Lingling to see before his death. Choose a day to give the ministers a holiday, and let them go back to visit their relatives......"

"At most, in five years, Tan will be able to let the prime minister return to Langya's hometown, and let the banner of the Han Dynasty reappear in Kanto!"

In order to go on the Northern Expedition in these years, Ji Han basically supplied everything to the military. Originally, the money and grain that were stretched thin had to be saved, and many places even had to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, and the court had a huge deficit over the years.

"After so many years, Dahan's finances can finally be settled." Jiang Wan burst into tears because of this, and he was so excited that he couldn't do more.

But now it seems that Zhuge Liang should have the opportunity to live until the world is unified, and what choice will the prime minister make when the time comes?

was asked by Ma Tan, and Zhuge Liang also fell silent. At this time, he also suddenly realized that the unattainable ambition he once imagined seemed to have become less difficult.

"In short, it is a good thing to be able to recover Jingzhou for such a long time in advance, and many old ministers of Jingzhou in the imperial court have wanted to go back to their hometown to see and think about it for a long time." Zhuge Liang shook his head, shook his feather fan, and said with a smile,

"I was entrusted by the first emperor in the White Emperor City, and I wanted to do my best to be loyal to the festival of chastity, and then die." Zhuge Liang finally spoke, calmed down and gave his answer.

"Youchang, you really helped a lot this time!" Jiang Wan personally came to the Hussar General's Mansion and said excitedly with Ma Yan.

"Many of them are bad debts left over from the era of the first emperor, and there is a period of time when they need to be stabilized and stabilized, which must be supported by money and food." Jiang Wan shook his head, thought about it for a while, and finally began to laugh and said,

And now, this batch of seizures in Jingzhou has become the greatest confidence for the Han Dynasty to settle accounts.

"Is the deficit so big? Haven't completed it for so long? even had to rely on Jingzhou's money and grain to settle the accounts. Ma Tan was extremely surprised by this, and asked with some astonishment.

"If there is no money and grain from Jingzhou, Dahan will not be able to make up for the deficit of the previous overdraft in three years. But now that it's all over, Shang Shutai no longer has to worry about those shortfalls. ”

"You kid, when did you become so good at talking......" Zhuge Liang smiled dumbly, pointed at Ma Jian with a feather fan and smiled.

"But these are all over, and Shang Shutai's colleagues finally don't have to worry about this matter."

"Now that the court is no longer struggling to make ends meet, this is something to celebrate. When the next time to rest, pull the prime minister and let's have a banquet to celebrate! ”
