Facing Jia Yuan's questioning with the meaning of assessment, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, calmly, and said loudly: "The lord's decision is very wise. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info our army for several years, the north to resist the Xinman, the thorn tower, the south to attack the Red Turban Yu Party, the west into the capital to break Dong Meng, the east across the ocean to suppress the water Kou, the soldiers in the south and the north war, has long been exhausted, if at this time the tired army expedition to Yuan Ding, even if it is a victory, it is a tragic victory, Liang thought that this is not advisable. ”

After a change of words, Zhuge Liang continued: "Although it is a good policy to recuperate, it must be supported by the corresponding law in order to achieve the best effect. Liang thought that the lord should break some of the old laws and formulate new laws that conform to the times, so that the people under his rule have laws to follow, and the officers and men in the army have laws to abide by. ”

To tell the truth, at the beginning, some generals saluted Zhuge Liang, completely for the sake of Yuan Qi's face, thinking that even if the young Zhuge Liang was a genius, after all, he was still young and not enough to entrust him with important tasks. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang's words were reasonable, well-founded and unique, so that the generals who were originally unconvinced gradually put away their contempt and listened carefully to Zhuge Liang's analysis:

"As for the opening of the academy, although this proposal is good, it is quite difficult to implement. As we all know, the best university in the world today is Lumen Mountain Academy, Mr. Shui Jing and my teacher Pang Degong two masters sit in Lumen Mountain, the world's famous people, all admire, if the lord wants to open an academy, at least find a few famous Confucians to come to the town, in order to compete with Lumen Mountain Academy, otherwise, it will be difficult to attract those poor scholars to come and concentrate on practice."

After a pause, Zhuge Liang continued: "However, the lord recruited scholars and ordinary people from poor families to enroll in school, taught them various skills, and allowed them to complete their studies at the same time. Liang agrees with the gratitude of the lord from the bottom of his heart, and when they succeed in their studies, he selects the best among them and assigns them to various counties and counties and the army as officials. There are so many strange people in the world? Many talented people end up doing nothing because of their poor families. The lord now gives them a chance, and after they have succeeded in their studies, they will definitely do their best to repay the lord's cultivation and knowledge. This will not only solve the dilemma of the current shortage of middle- and lower-level officials in our army, but maybe, it will also unearth some pillars of talent that can be reused. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang frowned, and said: "Liang Zeng said earlier that this is also the reason why there are many difficulties in opening an academy. The lord crossed the wealthy family and gave the scholars of the poor family a broad road to go, so in the end, it will inevitably lead to those scholars having no way out, just imagine, a large number of the world's poor scholars have been collected by the lord, how can those noble families be willing to give up, and will rise up and attack me? Therefore, the matter of opening the academy, the lord must also consider carefully, or not do it, and if you want to do it, you must go hand in hand with civil and military forces, and completely suppress the gate valve of the scholars. ”

Slowly exhaling a breath, Zhuge Liang said again: "As for a few years later, what should our army do after recuperation, Liang has also repeatedly deliberated on the way here. Liang thought that Fang was under today, and the princes were together, and now that the lord's anger was greatly damaged, the other princes would definitely take the opportunity to expand their strength. Chen Liuyu Gong Zhaolie, is actually a contemporary hero, he will inevitably connect Chen Liuyingchuan and other places together, and then plot against Yan and Yu, this person is a fierce enemy of the lord and his friend; Qing, and look at Xuzhou, this person, is the first test of the lord's future march into the Central Plains, our army should put him above the primary goal, always pay attention to his movements. ”

"In addition to these two people, the Sun family in Jiangdong has been heroic for generations, and Jiangdong is a place of outstanding people and talents, and the Sun family will be the overlord of one party for a long time. However, the lord and the Sun clan have a deep relationship, and they are separated from the Jiangdong and the entire Central Plains, so the lord and the Sun clan will have no conflict of interest in a short period of time, and they can form an alliance with the Sun clan and use ships to communicate between the rivers and the sea. Thought it was the momentum of the horns. ”

"The remaining Jingzhou Yuanbiao is the lord of the city and has no ambitions; Yizhou Yuanzhang is mediocre and weak, and will not last long; Nanyang Yuan Bai is mean, and there is no one to dominate...... All these things are not in the hands of the Lord and the Lord, and in a few years, most of these people will surely perish. ”

"Assuming that all the above judgments have come true, the situation of the world will gradually become clearer, the lord can divide the army into two routes, the lord can lead an army south to conquer Yuan Ding, and bring the two prefectures of Hebei and Qing into his rule, then he can retreat to protect himself, and enter the Central Plains; and then send a general to the north to clear out the Xinman, Thorn Tower, Xianbei and Yu Fu and other foreign races, and then give them education, so that they either move to the mainland, or abide by the Han law, then our army has no worries in the north of Xinjiang, and can rest assured to the world. ”

At this point, Zhuge Liang has said everything he thinks in his heart. The entire lobby was suddenly silent, and the quiet pin drop could be heard. After a long time, Yuan Qifang came to his senses in the grand plan conceived by Zhuge Liang, raised his hands, and slowly applauded. With Yuan Qi's applause, the rest of the civil and military officers also stood up in admiration and stroked their palms towards Zhuge Liang, and the warm applause lasted for a long time.

Jia Yuan said with a smile: "Congratulations to the lord for getting another talent." Yuan Qi laughed and said, "Kong Ming's words, what do you think?"

Because of Zhuge Liang's words, Yuan Qi's reputation for knowing people has reached a new level. Zhuge Liang also officially determined the status of the first capable minister under Yuan Qi. Its insight into the big picture and micro-control of the details are enough to convince others.

After the meeting ended, Yuan Qi asked Zhao Hu to properly arrange the accommodation of Cui Zhouping, and then left Zhuge Liang, Jia Yuan, Xun Luo, Li Ru, Lu Su, Xu Shu and Gu Yong and other civil officials to discuss some details together. After deliberation, they decided to make some adjustments to the internal officials first, so that the talents of the people could be brought into full play.

First of all, it is the identity of Zhuge Liang, Yuan Qi gave him the post of Metropolitan Governor Sima, and the military and political power of the two states. Meantime. Yuan Qi also promoted Cui Shouguan, the Taishou of Zhuo County, to serve as the chief of the state and the governor, accompanied Gao Shun to the state to rectify the state affairs, accompanied Cui Shou to the state, and Cui Zhouping, who came to Youzhou with Zhuge Liang, after Zhuge Liang's recommendation, felt that they should be more than enough to serve as a county Taishou. The position of Zhuojun Taishou vacated after Cui Shou's promotion was held by Zhang Ji, who was recommended by Xun Luo.

Secondly, Li Ru's identity needs to be solved urgently. Li Ru is a newcomer. He used to be the mastermind under Dong Meng, considering his character and ability, Yuan Qi only gave Li Ru a position to join the army in the open, but handed over the newly formed Qianlong to him, and after the Qianlong training was formed, Jia Yuan withdrew from the Qianlong and let Li Ru control the special force of the Qianlong Dragon.

In terms of generals, Yuan Qi also made some adjustments. Because Yuan Qi is now concurrently serving as the governor of the Hidden Metropolis, the power in his hands is even greater. Basically, the official positions guarding northern Xinjiang can be freely divided from Yuan onwards. Except for the champion general Zhao Hu, the general of Zhengbei Ma Yue and the general of Zhenbei Huang Yong, the three generals who have not been promoted, the other generals are basically promoted to the first level, and Zhang Chong and others are on the basis of their original positions. All of them were promoted, and Yuan Qi also asked Yuan Xie to issue a decree to make them lieges. As for Qi Tian, Yuan Qi was not very good at rewarding him directly, after all, Qi Tian's position as the state pastor was personally sealed by Yuan Xie. also has the name of General Fenwei, so Yuan Qi also went to the Yuan Association and asked for Qi Tian to be the Flying Dragon General.

After the adjustment of the official position. Yuan Qi pointed the direction of adjustment to the army. Because in the battle of Shaxian, the elite of the two battalions of Tiangui and Digui suffered heavy losses, so Yuan Qi merged Gongsun Ruyun's original Baima Yicong into the Tiangui camp, merged Gao Shun's original trap camp into the Digui camp, and selected elite people in the army to merge into the two battalions, whether it was Youzhou people or Bingzhou people, or even the Thorn Tower people who had moved to Youzhou, as long as there was no problem with loyalty and those who fought bravely, they were all eligible to be selected. Yuan Qi also relaxed the quota for this expansion, limiting each battalion to recruit 10,000 more elites on the original basis, so that the number of people in each battalion reached 20,000, and then it was upgraded to an army and no longer called a battalion.

At the same time, the Qilin Battalion has also been further expanded, and the number of people has also been maintained at about 20,000. After the elite expansion of the original three armies, Yuan Qi also set up a separate army, called the Flying Dragon Army, which is composed of all elite cavalry, and the Tiangui Army is different, the Flying Dragon Army will be equipped with long-handled blades and full-body heavy armor, becoming a real heavy cavalry combat unit. Flying Dragon General Qi Tian was the first commander of this army. Similarly, the Wolf Cavalry under Qi Tian's command will all be incorporated into the Flying Dragon Army, except for the elite of the four armies, Yuan Qi has not expanded other soldiers. After the elite of the four armies is fully expanded, it will reach 80,000 people, and the rest of the sergeants will also have more than 70,000 soldiers, and the men and horses under Yuan Qi's command will reach a terrifying 150,000 at that time. Such a figure is already the limit of what can be borne by the remote states of Youhe and Merge, whose population is not as good as that of the Central Plains states, and the tax of grain and grass is far from the same, and it is already quite difficult to maintain an army of 150,000. Moreover, it is impossible for Yuan Qi to be reckless, and he must leave enough young and strong labor force to ensure the normal life of the people in the two states.

Even now, keeping the number of troops at the lowest level, Yuan Qi still feels a headache. In the first battle of Shaxian, although some of the war horses, armor, swords and other armaments lost by the elites of the Tiangui and Digui armies were recovered after the war, most of them had been seriously damaged and could no longer be used in the army, especially the war horses, which were quite difficult to replenish. Fortunately, Jia Yuan was careful and recovered the horseshoe and other equipment on the dead war horses, otherwise, it would be a lot of expense to rebuild the horse Sanbao that can be equipped for tens of thousands of war horses.

The financial resources of the Taishi Chamber of Commerce are not unlimited, but they can't afford to squander Yuan Qi like this, through the budget, Yuan Qi learned that the current financial resources of the Taishi Chamber of Commerce can only supply the reconstruction of two elite armies at most, and the armament and material problems of the elite and ordinary soldiers of the remaining two armies are not yet settled. Although the Taishi Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly, after all, it is still a short time, and it has not been established for less than five years, and it is not yet able to cope with the expansion of such a scale on its own.

The top priority is to raise a sum of money as soon as possible in a short period of time to rebuild the elite army under his command. At the same time, the construction of the academy should also be put on the agenda as soon as possible, and as Zhuge Liang said, it is necessary to recruit a few highly respected celebrities to suppress the formation, so as to achieve the effect of recruiting students. In addition, it is necessary to formulate a series of laws suitable for the development of the two states, so that the people in the jurisdiction can live a stable life and thus promote economic development.
