Chapter 466 Prime Minister, do you believe it?
Zhuge Liang didn't care whether he was pretending not to understand or whether he really didn't understand. He just turned around and asked Li Feng, "Do Li Dalang and Wang Dalang know?"
Li Feng and Wang You stood nearby and saw Feng Yong and the Prime Minister sitting opposite each other. They seemed to be chatting, but in a few words, they decided on the important affairs of the country. They felt that they were taking it lightly, and they were amazed in their hearts.
I heard that when my brother first came out of Fengzhuang, he offered two strategies to the prime minister, which set the situation for the Han Dynasty today. I guess it is also the same as today's style, right?
Hearing the Prime Minister suddenly asking them, both of them were stunned, and then their expressions became a little ashamed.
“Returning to the Prime Minister, I really don’t know.”
The two of them answered honestly.
Zhuge Liang sighed softly and said, "It's not your fault. Since Emperor Xiaowu advocated Confucianism, people in the world have studied the Seven Classics: "The Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Yili", "Book of Changes", and "Spring and Autumn" , "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Classic of Filial Piety" are also true."
"This Guan Zhong's technique is not in line with Confucianism, so it is normal for few people to learn it." At this point, Zhuge Liang glanced at Feng Yong again, "It has been hundreds of years since Emperor Xiaowu until now, and Guan Zhong's technique has been passed down. It’s becoming rarer and rarer, and most people in the world don’t know about it anymore.”
“In the prosperous times, Confucianism should be used to guide people to do good and keep themselves safe.”
"It's just that we are in troubled times now. How similar is it to the Spring and Autumn Period? Young Master Xiaobai used Guan Zhong and became the overlord. Therefore, if you want to help the world and calm the people in troubled times, Guan Zhong's skills are of great use. At the place."
At the same time, Zhuge Liang was also thinking in his mind that this boy was born in a mountain family and claimed to be a miscellaneous family. It is not surprising that he could learn the skills of Guan Zhong.
Li Feng and Wang You, on the other hand, cheered up and thought to themselves, was the Prime Minister trying to remind them?
Guo heard the Prime Minister say, "Back then, Young Master Xiaobai wanted to dominate the Central Plains, but the Chu State in the south was a powerful country, so it was bound to be an obstacle. So Guan Zhong asked the Qi State to buy deer on a large scale, and deer hunting became common in the Chu State, and even the people gave up their farm work. , specifically to hunt deer.”
“At the same time, Guan Zhong also asked his minister Xi Peng to quietly purchase and hoard grain from the people of Qi and Chu. In just three years, Chu State was worried about running out of grain.”
“Three out of ten Chu people wanted to buy grain but were blocked by Qi. Three or four out of ten Chu people fled to Qi. In the end, Qi won without a fight. This is the story of Guan Zhong buying deer to conquer Chu.”
Zhuge Liang picked up the bowl, took another sip of tea, smashed his mouth, and continued, "As for Qi Wan and Lu Zhen, it is about the Wan and Zhi of Qi and Lu. Both of them were famous fabrics at that time. "
With that said, Zhuge Liang glanced at Feng Yong with a half-smile, "Guan Zhong also used the same method to greatly increase the price of Lu silk. Seeing the profit, the people of Lu abandoned farming and started weaving."
"Just one year later, Guan Zhong suddenly ordered the gates to be closed to prevent Lu Gu from entering Qi. The silk woven by Lu was piled up in mountains, but it could not be sold. However, Lu missed the farming season for another year, and the people confiscated the proceeds. , how can you survive like this?"
“In this way, the State of Lu will not only surrender to the State of Qi, but it will not even be able to maintain its own silk weaving industry, which will give Qi Wan an advantage.”
Zhuge Liang said leisurely to Feng Yong, "Now you are buying wool from the Liang family and even asking them to exchange grain for woolen cloth. You are even more ruthless than Guan Zhong!"
"When everyone in Liangzhou knows about the benefits of wool, how many people will go to harvest wool? I heard that the Liang family has prepared to enclose the land to raise sheep. Who will have the heart to grow food then?"
“Liangzhou is vast and sparsely populated…”
Feng Yong gave a feeble defense.
“Then you have to have the mind to plant it.”
Zhuge Liang pointed at Feng Yong and said with a meaningful smile, "You are worse than Guan Zhong."
"Cao Cao was forced to give up his coins because grain was expensive and money was cheap. In order to calm the people's hearts, he was forced to abandon the coins. It took him several years to bring down the price of food. What you are doing now is like destroying Liangzhou's people. People are forced to shepherd sheep.”
"Grain in the north is cheap now, but wool is expensive. There are many Qiang Hu people in Liangzhou, and they are originally from herding backgrounds. When wool is more valuable than food, who has the heart to grow food?"
"Liangzhou Qiang and Hu are originally half-grazing and half-cultivated. A large part of the military rations in Liangzhou comes from them every year. Now you force them all to graze. As long as Liangzhou continues like this, where will it come from? food?"
The tone was a bit sinister, which made Feng Tibi feel a little scared.
“Prime Minister, no one in Liangzhou is farming. Can’t we transport grain from Guanzhong Central Plains and other places?”
Li Feng, who was behind him, asked with some confusion.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Yes, food can be transported from other places. But the price of food must be higher than before, right? Then won't it be in vain that Cao Cao's efforts to bring down the price of food have been in vain for several years?"
“When the price of food is high, people’s hearts will naturally fluctuate. This is a way of defeating the enemy.”
“At that time, as long as the grain harvested when the price is low is sold again, will this save a lot of money? Oh, and,”
As he spoke, Zhuge Liang nodded to Feng Yong again and smiled with satisfaction, "Weave Liangzhou's wool into cloth and sell it to others. There is no need to pay extra at all!"
He said in a tone of sigh and admiration, "In order to subdue Chu and Lu, Guan Zhong spent real money. Your brother, even the capital was contributed by the other party."
"That's why I said, you are worse than Guan Zhong!"
Zhuge Liang laughed again as he spoke.
The Prime Minister's words were like opening a new door in front of Li Feng and Wang You.
The two of them looked at Feng Yong with high-spirited eyes: How far-reaching is your brother's plan? If it hadn't been for the Prime Minister's suggestion, I might never have been able to figure out the connection in this life, right?
He heard Li Feng suddenly say, "More than that, my brother made the eight-oxen plow and reclaimed Hanzhong so that the Han people would not have to worry about food shortage. Isn't this also part of this plan?"
"Yes, it is definitely true. Hanzhong produces grain, but Liangzhou has no grain. Wouldn't it be easy to capture the land of Liangzhou during the Jie Dynasty? How similar is this to Guan Zhong's method of winning without fighting?"
Wang You's eyes lit up and he said, "My brother previously undermined the strategy of establishing Hanzhong in Nanzhong. Now we can consolidate Liangzhou in Hanzhong. This is really interconnected and exquisite!"
The two of them sang together, and the more they talked, the more their faces turned red with excitement.
The prime minister is extremely talented, and his brother has far-reaching plans. I am lucky enough to be able to see the two of them directing the country in person. I am so lucky, so lucky!
Feng Tibi's face turned red and he said a little coyly, "The Prime Minister has given me the reward."
I thought that my main idea at the beginning was to make more money. As for paving the way for the Han Dynasty's Northern Expedition, I just did it casually. If it can be successful or not, Prime Minister, do you believe it?
Then he saw Zhuge Liang's slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes, and then looked at the admiring eyes of Li Feng and Wang You.
Okay, I know you don’t believe it.
Thinking of this, Feng Tulie said with saliva on his face again, "Prime Minister, you see, I have made meritorious service to the party...the court, and I will continue to make meritorious service in the future. Now that we have reached an agreement with Liang Si, can you let me out?" ?”
"Let you cause trouble?" Zhuge Liang looked at Feng Yong again with a half-smile on his face, "You are not being honest here, and you still want to get out?"
“Prime Minister, I just broke up a house of women, and I will pay the compensation. How can I say that I am dishonest?”
Feng Yong was called Qu Dao.
"A person who claims to have never learned Guan Zhong's skills can use Guan Zhong's skills with ease. Is this called honesty? Also, now there are news flying all over Jincheng that you want to marry a daughter of the Guan family."
This is true, I really want to marry Guan Ji.
"Some people have said with certainty that you were harmed by a villain and were imprisoned."
This is a bit too much...
Feng Yong glanced at Old Demon Zhuge and thought that it was easy for people to relate to him.
So Feng Yongqian laughed and said, "Prime Minister, this is just a rumor in the market and cannot be taken seriously."
“This is not a rumor.”
Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea and said, "This is what your Xinghan Club spread."
Feng Yong’s face froze.
"Your Xinghan Hui is doing a great job now. Everywhere in Jincheng you tell everyone that the real beauty of the leader brother is the Guan family's wife. You two are a match made in heaven."
"This rumor is as strong as a blazing fire, and people hear it. If you are not allowed to marry the Guan family, I'm afraid it will be unreasonable and the crime will not be punished!"
It’s so lucky that we’re in Dahan!
It’s so **** lucky that I met Old Demon Zhuge!
It's so lucky that I have made meritorious service to the party... and the court!
If we reach a certain dynasty where Qingfeng is illiterate, wouldn't this kill the nine tribes?
"Prime Minister, this is a misunderstanding. I have never done such a thing. Do you believe it?"
Feng Yong wiped the sweat from his forehead and suddenly felt as if the stove was burning too brightly and was a little hot.
The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty laughed and said nothing.
I thought that this Erha would become more mature after experiencing the battlefield, but it seems that I was too naive.
Same, if Erha doesn’t cause trouble, can he be called Erha?
Fortunately, I was in prison at this time, otherwise at such a sensitive time, Adou would really think that he was instigating it, and he would be so wet that he could not explain clearly.
At that time, Adou will write it down in a small notebook...forget it, it actually doesn't matter.
Adou is an honest boy, not so narrow-minded.
What should I do if the Queen misunderstood?
The Queen is not a good person.
“Then I’d better stay in jail for a month.”
Feng Yong decided to give it a try.
"After New Year's Day, there will be a meeting of the imperial court. At that time, the soldiers of the Southern Expedition will be rewarded for their merits." Zhuge Liang glanced at Feng Yong, who was about to shrink his head, "The position of Yuejun governor will be decided by that time at the latest. There is no reason for a big man to let a county governor take office while he is in prison."
Feng Yong:…
What does mean? Are you ready to lose all my achievements? I didn’t expect you to be such a powerful prime minister!
Feng Tibi looked at Zhuge Liang pitifully. There was a large plain in Yuejun, which was a good place for herding horses. How could Feng Yong give up?
“So I want Meng Yan to move to Yue to be the prefect of Jun.”
Zhuge Liang obviously had a plan, but he didn't pay attention to Feng Yong's eyes.
“Isn’t Meng Yan the prefect of Zhuti County?”
Feng Yong was moved when he heard this.
“I want General Wang from Nanzhong to take office in Zhuti County.”
General Wang? Wang Ping?
Feng Yong glanced at Zhuge Liang with questioning eyes.
“Wang Ping, the bandit general of the Nanzhong Governor’s Office, is loyal to his duties and has a long history of military exploits. Now he is appointed as the captain of the five Nanzhong tribes and leads the barbarian troops of various Nanzhong tribes. It should be possible for him to guard Zhuti County.”
"General Wang..." Feng Yong hesitated, "He is a good leader. It's just that the people in Zhuti County mostly practice Confucianism. Is it appropriate for General Wang to be the prefect there?"
Confucianism is a common practice in Zhuti County, but Wang Ping can't read more than ten words. Didn't Zhuge Lao Yao take this into consideration?
"So I want Li Dalang to be appointed as the Magistrate of Zhuti County. Governor Li has a long-standing reputation in Yizhou, and now he has made great achievements in guarding Yong'an, which can help his son. In addition, Li Dalang himself is very talented and knowledgeable. If he is appointed as the Magistrate of Zhuti County, , just right.”
Hearing this, Feng Yong raised his head and glanced at Li Feng.
Li Feng smiled shyly at him.
Feng Yong smiled slightly at him, but he was thinking in his heart, Li Yan shouldn't have fallen out with Old Demon Zhuge at this time, right? How could Old Demon Zhuge appease Li Yan at this time?
"The governor of Yuejun County will be decided after New Year's Day, but Chang Shi can take a breather." Zhuge Liang glanced at Feng Yong with a meaning.
In the counties of the Han Dynasty that had the task of guarding the border, the auxiliary officer of the prefect was the chief historian. In the counties without guarding the border, the auxiliary officer was the county magistrate.
Zhuti County has always been stable and has been influenced by Confucianism for a long time, so it can be regarded as an inner county, so the county magistrate was established.
Yuejun County is already the area with the most serious rebellion, so it is appropriate to set up an auxiliary official with a long history.
Just hearing this, Old Monster Zhuge took away my position as prefect and planned to demote me to Changshi?
Sure enough, I heard Zhuge Liang say again, "In the spring of next year, the prefect Meng Yan will lead the barbarian soldiers to enter Yuejun first. I want to appoint you as the long history, and then you can be ready to lead people there."
Then what does it mean for me to regard this as a long history?
How about going to Nanxiang County and becoming a local emperor?
Feng Tibi felt a little unhappy.
Zhuge Liang saw his appearance and said, "Bian County Magistrate Shi Quan Zhong, you have to do your job well when you get there. If you cause any problems, I won't let you off lightly."
When Feng Yong heard this, he suddenly woke up.
In border counties, if the prefect is not Han, then the chief official is the actual person in power in the county.
Because the appointment of Hu Yi people as prefects was only a nominal means to appease the local Hu Yi people.
After thinking about this section, Feng Yong remembered that Meng Yan was originally the prefect of Zhuti County, but now he was transferred, probably because of himself.
Because I told Old Demon Zhuge that there was a copper mine in Zhuti County!
So how could Meng Yan, a barbarian, still sit safely in the position of governor of Zhuti County?
Of course you have to let yourself go before you can rest assured.
Wang Xun is his brother, and Wang Ping is Wang Xun's elder. He pushed Meng Yan to Yuejun County to be the prefect, and he will definitely not blame Wang Ping for this debt.
The old demon Zhuge brought Li Feng over to let him know him. At the same time, he told himself that Li Feng was the county magistrate of Zhuti County. He might not have let Wang Ping and Li Feng get along well with each other and work together to build the copper mine in Zhuti County. the meaning of.
Even though he lost his position as governor, Chang Shi still had real power.
At the same time, he was punished in name. While Zhuge Laoyao achieved the purpose of warning the palace, he even made Adou and the Queen feel guilty about him because of this matter.
After all, the position of prefect is gone! No matter how powerful the long history is, it won't sound as good as the prefect, right?
As for Meng Yan...he was treated as a rag to clean the table by the old demon Zhuge. A newly surrendered man could still be a prefect. The big man was already generous enough.
And Li Yan, when did he fall out with Zhuge Lao Yao?
After figuring out these joints, Feng Yong looked at Zhuge Old Demon with a look full of horror.
Damn, this kind of person is so terrifying, he wants to take everything to the extreme.
“Five pieces are connected, you lose.”
The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty ignored Feng Tubao's eyes, dropped his gaze indifferently, and said leisurely.
Feng Yong looked at the chessboard and was slightly startled. Didn't I say that double threes are prohibited in backgammon?
This is against the rules!
Again!
