Chapter 149 Military Resources
"What's inappropriate?" Zhuge Qiao heard the hidden meaning behind Feng Yong's words, "It will take at least two or three years for Hanzhong to become a grain-producing land again, right? The imperial court will have other arrangements by then. , Mingwen is overly worried.”
“Brother, what do you mean, Hanzhong has the right to collect military resources on its own?”
“Since he is the governor, he has the authority to collect military resources appropriately.”
Feng Yong understands. To put it bluntly, doesn’t he still look down on Hanzhong? Do you think this place can’t collect much money?
Why will the court make arrangements in two or three years? Because Hanzhong will produce grain in two or three years, other arrangements will be made.
But the power of this governor is really great, and the word "appropriate" is really subtle. In other words, the more trust you have from above, the more military resources you can collect.
Even so, there is still the danger of the tail being too big to fall off.
Are Liu Bei and Zhuge Lao Yao really not worried? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be.
Liu Bei is a great hero of his generation. It is fair to say that he has enough magnanimity.
But Zhuge Liang was cautious all his life, and it was impossible not to beware of this.
There are now three governors in the Shu Han Dynasty. The one Feng Yong remembers most clearly is Li Yan, and his deputy is Chen Dao, who is known for his loyalty and bravery.
Wei Yan, the governor of Hanzhong, his deputy, or the second person in Hanzhong, should be Zhuge Qiao. Of course, it may have been Ma Dai in the past.
However, although Ma Dai was also under the control of Wei Yan in name, he should actually lead the troops alone to guard Yang'an Pass.
Thinking of this, Feng Yong finally realized that the so-called deputy should be the back-up man, right?
It turns out that Liu Bei had already made arrangements back then. After all, it was Emperor Zhaolie who was known for his vicious vision!
Thinking of this, Feng Yong suddenly remembered Ma Dai's killing of Wei Yan. This is so... It's terrifying to think about it!
As for Li Hui in Nanzhong, I don’t know if he had a deputy or not. Anyway, Feng Yong couldn’t remember it, or he had never heard of it.
Thinking of this, the corners of Feng Tubie's mouth twitched, wondering if I was flattering Zhuge Lao Yao without knowing it? He actually recommended Wang Ping to Nanzhong in the letter...
I don’t know if Li Hui will write it down in his notebook after learning about it?
But I think a person as big as Governor Li wouldn't be so stingy, right?
Besides, among the three governors of the Shu Han Dynasty, only Li Hui died a good death.
Li Yan will have different intentions in the future, while Wei Yan will be too selfish and both will end badly. Therefore, Li Hui's character should be relatively strong.
“Brother, what you are saying is that you want to find some military supplies for the Hanzhong garrison?”
"I don't know clearly. When my brother came to Hanzhong, it coincided with the late emperor's visit to Yong'an. At that time, Hanzhong was in panic every day. General Wei sent sentries at various intersections day and night, fearing that the Cao thieves would come. My brother was really shocked at that time. I'm afraid because I don't have much food in my hands. If the bandit Cao comes, I don't know how many days we can hold out."
With that said, Zhuge Qiao picked up the bowl and took a sip of water. He seemed to have calmed down his mood, and then continued, "Since then, I have also understood that I still need some money and food in my hands, so that I can have the confidence."
Feng Yong thought to himself that this old demon Zhuge was really cruel. Liu Bei's defeat in Yiling sent shock waves in all directions, and Hanzhong became one of the most dangerous places. He actually sent his son here.
Feng Yong pondered for a moment, sighing in his heart that while Liu Dal'er cheated his son, he also cheated old demon Zhuge. Look at the current financial difficulties of the central government to the point where local garrisons are required to collect their own military supplies. What a sin!
Needless to say, Hanzhong was deserted. Even if there was no rebellion, Nanzhong was basically a barbaric land. The negative consequences of such a strong local autonomy could not be shown.
But Li Yan, the governor of Yong'an, was different. They were both governors the year before, but their ambitions were growing day by day. He persuaded the old demon Zhuge to be crowned king. In order to become the local emperor, not only was he unwilling to go to Hanzhong, but he even openly asked to separate a Ba Prefecture, let him be the governor of Bazhou, but in the end it turned into openly asking for officials.
In addition to personal reasons, another reason is that the place he oversees is relatively well-established.
Zhuge Qiao didn't know what Feng Yong was thinking. After hearing this, he was overjoyed: "Oh, are you serious about what you said?"
“It’s true. It’s just that this matter can only be a temporary solution and cannot be done for a long time.”
"That's enough for the time being. A temporary solution is a good one. Just keep some military resources for non-urgent needs, not much."
Zhuge Qiao really felt that it was an unexpected joy. He sent letters to the adults many times, saying that Hanzhong seemed to be stable, but in fact there was a shortage of money and food.
Your Excellency, however, just asked the imperial court to issue an edict, saying that Hanzhong could collect military supplies on its own. But looking around in Hanzhong, there are all deserted places. How to collect them?
Finally, my mother sent me a letter a few days ago, saying that Feng Mingba often has wonderful ideas in his mind. Now that he is in Hanzhong, if he has a chance, he might as well ask about it. I still think that it is amazing that at his age, he can achieve what he has now.
As for him being able to solve the current dilemma in Hanzhong, I had no hope. I never expected that I would get such a positive answer.
“However, when it comes to this matter, someone may be held responsible in the future, but I don’t know if my brother dares to do so?”
Zhuge Qiao couldn't help frowning after hearing this: "Listen to the clear meaning, is it against the law? This is absolutely impossible."
“Brother is overly concerned. It’s not that he doesn’t understand the situation in Hanzhong. Even if I want to violate the law, I have to violate it somewhere.”
Feng Yong smiled and thought that Zhuge Qiao would probably be like this in his life. He would be quite law-abiding. As long as there were no accidents, he would not make big mistakes, but he would not make too many achievements.
“Then why should we bear the responsibility again?”
"The idea of taking responsibility is just a precaution. If it were someone else, it would be fine, but if it were my younger brother who did it..." Feng Yong let out a laugh, but stopped talking.
At the same time, I thought in my heart, during this period, I have been testing the bottom line of your nominal adult's tolerance. What if this incident has stimulated Zhuge Lao Yao's sensitive nerves and exceeded the red line?
“Is there such a thing?” Zhuge Qiao seemed to have no idea about the subtle relationship between Feng Yong and Zhuge Liang.
Just think about Zhuge Qiao's enthusiasm in calling Feng Yong "di" when they first met. Huang Yueying's letter asked him to take care of Feng Yong. Of course Zhuge Qiao would misunderstand and felt that the relationship between Feng Yong and his family should be It's really good, but I really don't know the fact that Feng Tubao was actually in love with Zhuge Liang and killed each other.
“Could it be made clear that someone has been offended?”
At this point, Zhuge Qiao suddenly remembered something, and nodded thinking he understood, "Brother, I know. Is it because of the food price issue this year?"
Feng Yong's face darkened, thinking that it had been so long since he had spoken so cleverly to seducing Mr. Feng, how could anyone still remember it?
"So, Ming Wen really needs to be careful." Zhuge Qiao felt that he had figured it out and said, "Just say Ming Wen and see how the matter is done. If you do it, I will bear this responsibility for my brother." how?"
Li Yi had a strange expression on his face and opened his mouth to remind him, but after looking at Feng Yong, he closed it again.
At the same time, I felt a little hesitant. What if the method Feng Mingwen said was not what I thought?
There are some contradictions. If it is really what I think, should I remind Bosson?
