Chapter 445 I have an idea
Guan Ji now calls Feng Yong Alang, and everyone around Feng Yong knows this.
So everyone in Feng Yong's family knew that their mistress would most likely be the third lady of the Guan family in the future.
Coupled with the fact that the lord was injured, no matter what the situation was at the time, Buqu had neglected his duties, so everyone could only bow their heads and let Guan Ji curse him like crazy.
In the next few days, I don’t know what means Guan Ji used to teach those tribes. When everyone saw Guan Ji, they were like a mouse meeting a cat, and they were more respectful than when they saw Feng Yong, the real master.
With Guan Ji's arrival, she also took over the command of the camp very forcefully.
The camp seems to have not changed much, but even a layman like Feng Yong feels that there is an added air of chilling.
“Can you do this?”
Looking down at Guan Ji majestically inspecting the camp, Feng Yong, who was hiding on a high platform to enjoy the cool air, asked Amei in a low voice.
Amei was trying hard to massage Feng Yong's shoulders. Hearing this, he glanced at Guan Ji, with envy and admiration in his eyes, and then shook his head.
“Yeah, you can’t do it, and I don’t have the ability either.”
Feng Yong sighed, thinking that this is the real tiger girl.
If the chaos comes again at this time, Feng Yong believes that he will never be the same as leading the troops and can only protect himself.
Guan Ji will definitely be able to lead people to kill them all.
I am really an auxiliary, maybe even the girl behind me can't compare.
This girl is also a ruthless character. Even though she shrinks in front of him, she is so desperate that she dares to kill someone.
With Guan Ji as the backbone of the camp, Feng Yong can finally try to clear the blocked valley.
From what Naigu said, Feng Yong could be sure that what he said about someone having mined copper here was most likely true.
As long as we can find the mines from back then, we might be able to find copper mines.
With copper mines, you can have copper, and with copper, you can have copper coins.
Although I don’t have much hope for the level of copper smelting in this era, and copper will always be in short supply, if a big man has more copper coins in his hand, he will have more confidence in doing things, right?
Currency is an equivalent exchange object. The government needs to pay attention to maintaining its stability and not allowing it to fluctuate too much in too short a period of time.
The most common one is currency devaluation leading to inflation.
If the purchasing power of currency depreciates too quickly in a short period of time, although it will benefit the national treasury temporarily, it will also cause people to distrust the government, push prices to soar, cause inflation, and people's living standards will gradually decline.
If it is serious, people will be unable to survive, give up production one after another, and go into exile, causing huge damage to the national economy.
So Liu Bei’s implementation of the Zhibaiqian in the Han Dynasty caused a considerable number of wealthy families in Shu and Jingzhou to become alienated.
Plundering private wealth by issuing new currency to replenish the national treasury is a very common method during wartime.
According to Feng Yong's knowledge, not only Liu Bei would do this, but Sun Quan would also do it, and he would even do it even more than Liu Bei. He would give him "five hundred coins" directly, and even "one thousand coins" later.
Cao Wei occupies most of the world, and its domestic economy is much better than that of Shu and Wu. There is no need to do this, but Cao Pi did an even stupider thing-abolition of currency and bartering directly with grains and silk.
It is simply speechless.
Now is the time of war. The war will cause tens of millions of damage to the domestic economy. This is certain.
How to minimize the harm will test the ability of the rulers.
The more copper coins you have in your hand, the greater your confidence and room for maneuver.
Feng Yong believes that if a copper mine can be found, Old Demon Zhuge will definitely defend this place. Not only the south of Tanglang, but also the entire Tanglang County will not let any rioters appear again.
Every one appears and killed!
At that time, are you still worried that there will be problems with the manor in the west of Tanglang County?
Huang Chong became the county magistrate, so what else could he do than just sit back and take credit for his achievements?
But before Feng Yong could clear out the valley, Zhao Guang and Li Yi brought people over. At the same time, they brought the latest news from the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty: Meng Huo's entire family came to surrender, and Yizhou County had been completely pacified, leaving Feng Yong Yiying and others rushed to Wei County to join the Prime Minister's army.
Feng Yong had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being and lead his army back to Wei County.
Tanglang County in Zhuti County is connected to Wei County to the south, so Feng Yong and others returned to Wei County not too slowly.
Now, there are soldiers stationed inside and outside Wei County.
The Han army was stationed in the middle, and the barbarians surrounded the periphery.
The battle flags cracked, the crowds roared, and the war horses neighed.
The Han army's camp was strict and orderly, while the barbarian camp was a little chaotic, but generally they still followed certain rules.
The arrival of Feng Yong's army was like a small stone dropped into the water. It only caused a small wave. After stationing at the place planned by the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, it integrated with the large army.
Before the whole army could completely settle down, Wang Xun and Yang Wanwan came hand in hand.
“Brother!”
“Zi Shi, Wei Ran!”
Although the brothers parted ways not long ago, they were naturally very happy to see each other again.
“Brother, the Prime Minister has an order, saying that when you arrive, please enter the city immediately.”
"The Prime Minister wants to see me? Okay, I'll go right away."
Feng Yong nodded. He was not too surprised that Zhuge Liang wanted to see him.
Although Nanzhong has been pacified, Zhuge Liang, as a workaholic, still has to deal with a large number of military and government affairs every day.
When Feng Yong entered the Weixian government office, which was used as a temporary military tent, he saw the Han Prime Minister, whose temples were obviously gray, sitting beside the desk, looking at something carefully.
“Feng Yong, the captain of Diannong School in Yizhou, met the prime minister.”
Feng Yong bowed.
Zhuge Liang finally raised his head and saw Feng Yong below. He smiled and waved his hand, "There is no need to be so formal. There are no outsiders here."
Then he pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down."
“Thank you, Prime Minister.”
“I heard that you were injured while inspecting Tanglang County?”
Zhuge Liang finally put down the drawing in his hand and asked.
Feng Yong was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhuge Liang to ask this as soon as they met. He smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's just a small injury."
“Why are you so careless?”
Zhuge Liang frowned and said, "Your current status is not ordinary. You are in the white dragon fish suit, and you will hesitate when you are in trouble. From now on, it is better to do less dangerous things."
“Yes, Yongzhi is wrong.”
Feng Yong could only bow his head and admit his mistake.
It was rare for Zhuge Liang to see him admitting his mistake so seriously, and now that he was considered the head of the house, it was hard for him to say anything more.
“I came to you this time because I want to ask you something.”
Zhuge Liang got to the point, "Last time you wrote a letter saying, 'King Wu allied himself with the princes, and Duke Huan brought the Central Plains to bear on the world.' What exactly did you mean? Can you elaborate on it?"
Feng Yong looked up and saw Zhuge Liang looking at him with burning eyes, admiration in his eyes, and he knew in his heart that this seemed to be an affirmation of himself.
"Back to the prime minister, Yong thinks so. The southerners believe in ghosts and gods a lot, and they keep their promises. As long as we find a way to make them swear an alliance to the ghosts and gods, they will no longer oppose the big man. At the same time, the big man will give them some restrictions and benefits. In my opinion, Nanzhong should be able to maintain peace for ten to twenty years."
The legend of a ghost king can be spread like this. This shows that the theory of ghosts and gods is deeply rooted in the hearts of the Yi people.
Now that Zhuge Liang has convinced most of the Yi kings and commanders in Nanzhong, he only needs to make them swear to the ghosts and gods while his power is still there, and then find a way to spread the news throughout Nanzhong.
It doesn't matter whether the barbarian kings believe in ghosts or gods. The key is that the ordinary barbarians believe in it!
As for the barbarians hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, they can only make a small fuss, and they will not be able to make any big waves.
Feng Tubao proposed this plan for the sake of the Han Dynasty and the stability of Nanzhong.
Definitely, it’s definitely not because the legend of Nalaoshizi Ghost King made him unhappy or bothered him!
Who doesn’t know that Feng Langjun even helped everyone get rich? It proves that he is a broad-minded person!
Hearing Feng Yong's words, the look of approval on Zhuge Liang's face became even stronger. It seemed that Feng Yong's proposal was in line with his ideas.
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and nodded, "That makes sense."
Then he looked at Feng Yong meaningfully and said, "I have another idea and would like to hear your opinion."
Feng Yong was really flattered after hearing this.
Ouch! The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty wants to listen to my opinion!
“Prime Minister, please speak, I will always listen attentively.”
"I heard that you are known as the Ghost King in Nanzhong, is that true?"
When Feng Yong heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he forced a smile on his face, "That's all misinformation."
Zhuge Liang shook his head, "Whether it is a misinformation or not, it is true that you are called the Ghost King in Nanzhong."
"This is what I think. Instead of letting the Yi kings swear to the empty ghosts and gods during the alliance, it is better to let the ghost kings witness their oaths. This will make them remember their oaths and be more fearful. What do you think? ?”
"Prime Minister, how can this...Yong look like a ghost king? If those barbarian kings find out that I am a ghost king, I'm afraid they will feel that they have been fooled, and it will ruin the big thing."
Feng Yongqiang held on to a smile that was uglier than crying. He knew that nothing good would happen as soon as he met Old Demon Zhuge.
This old guy is always thinking of ways to trick him!
“I heard that you suggested to Erlang Zhao that he wear a ghost bronze mask?”
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly again.
Feng Yong:…
What the **** do I have to do? Can Zhao Erha be able to suppress the enemy? Is it none of my business?
Sure enough, Zhuge Liang continued, "Zhao Erlang claimed to be a ghost general, and he was seen by thousands of troops at the gate of Wei County that day. Now everyone knows that the ghost king once sent a ghost general to Wei County."
The smile on Zhuge Liang's face grew stronger. He stood up and took two steps. Then he turned around and said to Feng Yong, "Even that day, everyone saw that the Ghost King summoned thunder and lightning, which almost struck the Barbarian King Meng Huo. .”
“It’s nothing, Prime Minister, it was just an accident.”
Feng Tujun trembled, "It was really just an accident... He was standing too high, and he also used a thick and tall bamboo pole as a commander's flag. If not him, who could?"
“Who believes it?”
Zhuge Liang walked up to Feng Yong and looked at Feng Yong condescendingly, with a very playful look on his face, "Meng Huo has already admitted this. He said that he saw a pair of huge eyes staring at him in the sky that day, which made him afraid move."
"Also, General Huo Aji also said that he saw with his own eyes that Guan Junhou was able to drive away the evil spirits because of the help of the Ghost King. These things have now been spread throughout Nanzhong, which barbarian doesn't know? "
Meng Huo is blind?
I was also there at that time. Why didn’t I see a pair of huge eyes in the sky?
When did Huo Aji’s IQ drop?
How could such a rumor spread?
Feng Yong glanced at Zhuge Liang and saw that his expression was very meaningful, very meaningful...
With the endorsement of these two big Yi people, and the recognition of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, the ghost king's theory is an ironclad fact!
Feng Yong swallowed his saliva and said, "What does the Prime Minister mean, is this ghost king Yong destined?"
Zhuge Liang nodded, "I gathered all the barbarian kings in the south of the country to form an alliance in Wei County and made an alliance: The Han people will treat the barbarians as their own people, and the barbarians will never rebel again. I will erect a monument as proof."
“This oath is sworn by the ghost king, the ghost general protects the law, the stone tablet is indestructible, and the oath will last forever. What do you think?”
“It’s... not bad.”
Feng Tibi was about to cry.
“Okay, don’t make such a gesture.”
Zhuge Liang knew that this son still had a general understanding, "Besides, you don't even care about your reputation for clever words and ruthlessness. What are you afraid of if you have the reputation of being a ghost king?"
"As long as this matter really goes well, and it is exactly what you said, saying less can ensure peace in Nanzhong for twenty years. Your benefits will be indispensable when the time comes."
Zhuge Liang shook his head, returned to his seat, sat down, and made another promise.
“What’s the benefit?”
Feng Yong said dejectedly.
More than a thousand years later, the old demon Zhuge was called Grandpa Zhuge and was passed down from generation to generation.
And what about yourself? A ghost king!
Still a ghost king who eats human flesh, drinks human blood, and wants a thousand women to sleep with him every night...
Children cry and don’t want to sleep at night, so grandma and grandpa threaten you: If you cry again, the Ghost King will send ghost generals to arrest you!
Remembering that Zhao Guang was also following suit, Feng Yong felt a little more balanced.
“I heard that you want to propose marriage to the Guan family when you go back this time?”
When Feng Yong heard this, his eyes lit up and he quickly raised his head, like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, yes."
“Prime Minister, do you have any suggestions?”
Feng Tubiao smiled along with him this time and said, "Guan Junhou, you don't like me very much."
Although she is sure to marry Guan Ji, Guan Xing will definitely make things difficult for her when the time comes.
After all...the pain of chrysanthemums is heartbreaking!
When Guan Xing fell ill, he still had Guan Ji to support him.
When it came time to marry Guan Ji, she couldn't support herself...
"The Guan family is, after all, the home of a prince. Now that you don't even have a title, you want to marry a daughter of the Guan family. How can he please you?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said with a smile, "You have made a lot of achievements in the past, and the court will remember it for you. But you were young and had no reputation at the time. If you were to be given a high position suddenly, you would be flattered and killed."
"Now that you want to get married, you are considered an adult. In addition, as your reputation is growing, it is justifiable to confer a knighthood on you. Is this benefit enough?"
When Feng Yong heard this, he felt happy.
Although this is not the main reason why Guan Xing dislikes her, with the title, at least in the eyes of the world, he and Guan Ji are a good match.
Although she doesn't care about reputation, Guan Ji doesn't care about whether she has a title, but if she marries herself like this without a title, it will be detrimental to the Guan family's reputation.
So having a title is definitely a good thing.
Feng Tubie asked a little shyly, "I wonder what the imperial court plans to grant me?"
Hearing this, the smile on Zhuge Liang's face froze.
Why is this guy so straightforward?
Where is your face?
However, I remembered that when I first met him, he was not even willing to take the position he promised to join the army. He showed his noble appearance as a disciple of the mountain sect.
It has only been more than two years, but he has become such a philistine. Zhuge Liang doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"What I want to grant you will naturally be decided after I return to the court for discussion. How do I know what I want to grant you now?"
Zhuge Liang looked serious and scolded.
Feng Yong curled his lips, thinking that it’s not you who has the final say when he returns to the court? What to pretend?
