Chapter 84 Enchanting

Xun Wei's eyes showed endless relief and pride.

When Wang Yan first arrived in Langya Kingdom, he was less than sixteen years old. Now he is only sixteen years old.

At such an age, he was promoted to Yangdu County's county magistrate, and even unique in Langya. Xun Wei appointed Wang Yan as the county magistrate, under tremendous pressure. Now, Wang Yan defeated Guan Hai, and proved that he had the keen eye for him to recognize people and discovered a talented person for Yangdu County who had the potential to be a marquis and general.

Xun Wei smiled and couldn't help but quip: "Kaiyang County is surrounded, you dare to fight ten thousand people if you have 1,000 people. You are brave enough."

When it comes to the matter of dispatching troops and dispatching generals, Wang Yan confidently replied: "The Yellow Turban soldiers seem to be powerful, but in fact they are paper tigers. They are strong on the outside and are vulnerable. One thousand people are enough to deal with these people. In this battle, the loss of the younger generation is less than one hundred soldiers. Furthermore, the gentleman appointed the younger generation as the county magistrate of Yangdu County, and his kindness is as good as a mountain. How can the boy ignore it?"

Xun Wei stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction. He changed his mind and said, "I don't doubt your ability to lead troops. Now, you have been the county magistrate of Yangdu County for half a year and have a good understanding of the general situation of Yangdu County. Now, let's talk about some ideas for managing Yangdu County next."

Wang Yan had already had a curse in his mind about the direction of governing Yangdu County.

In half a year, Wang Yan not only focused on military training, but also fully understood the situation in Yangdu County, and finally formed his own governing ideas.

Wang Yan sat upright and said slowly: "The younger generation only has twelve words for the governance of Yangdu County. To develop agriculture, build water conservancy, build markets, and build strong soldiers."

Xun Wei said: "It's too vague."

Wang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, I will explain it in detail so that the teacher can understand it."

"I listen carefully."

Xun Wei looked serious and a warm smile was filled with deep expectations.

Wang Yan said: "First, to promote agriculture. Food is the most important thing for people. The harvest in the fields determines whether the people can eat enough and whether they can survive. I am in charge of Yangdu County. Next, I must encourage farming, reduce taxes, so that the people have food, clothes, and land to grow, and have a place to support them in their old age."

After a pause, Wang Yan said again: "In fact, the nine towns and eighteen towns in Yangdu County have flat terrain and fertile land, which is very suitable for farming. In addition, years of wars have caused the people to be displaced and the land is deserted. As long as the government strongly supports them, the people can open up land and farm, and they can get a bumper harvest in a year."

Xun Wei chuckled: "It is feasible in theory, but it is not easy to implement it truly. Yangdu County's finances have always been poor. It is very difficult for you to strongly support farming."

Wang Yan was confident and calm, and smiled and said, "I can solve the financial problems."

Xun Wei said: "Soon up."

Wang Yan continued: "The second point is to build water conservancy. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, people's livelihood has withered and the world is difficult. It is already quite good for the people to be able to eat enough. Therefore, if it is just the first policy of promoting agriculture, it cannot completely alleviate the hardships of the people."

"Yangdu County is flat, and Yishui passes through Yangdu County, which has great advantages and convenience for irrigating the farmland of Yangdu County. In this case, the government will pay money to use labor for relief and recruit the people of Yangdu County to dig ditches, which will build a ditches to revitalize farming."

"By using labor instead of relief, people can not only make money to live, but also lay a solid foundation for farming. Once completed, farming in Yangdu County will enter a new stage of development."

Wang Yan’s ideas are very clear.

All of this was the policy he decided after careful consideration.

"Work-for-relief is a good method, but the operation is very difficult." Xun Wei's eyes flashed with a wise light, and he said in a deep voice: "The finance of Yangdu County is a huge problem. Even if you have additional financial subsidies, it will be difficult to support it for a long time. This cannot be accomplished by a little money."

Wang Yan said: "When I can't support me, I can still ask for help from me. My husband is honest and loves the people as much as his son. Do you really see the people in Yangdu County displaced and ignored me?"

Xun Wei smiled bitterly. This kid would find a way.

Wang Yan continued: "Third, build a market. If any place wants to develop, it cannot be separated from merchants. Kaiyang County is the capital of Langya Kingdom, with merchants gathering and extremely prosperous; Kyoto Luoyang is the center of the country, with all the religions and merchants gathering, which is not uncommon. If Yangdu County wants to become truly prosperous, it requires the joining of a large number of merchants to drive the development of Yangdu County. I will reduce taxes and encourage merchants. With merchants participating, Yangdu County will definitely achieve a real rise in a few years."

"Fourth, forge strong soldiers. Although the Yellow Turban thieves stopped, the world was rampant. Even Kaiyang County, the capital of Langya Kingdom, was surrounded by Guan Hai. Not to mention a county town like Yangdu County, the danger faced was even more serious. Therefore, it is necessary to forge elite troops and build an army that can fight tough battles and win battles to protect the stability of Yangdu County."

Wang Yan's eyes flashed with wisdom and infinite confidence.

Wang Yan has enough confidence in governing Yangdu County.

After thinking about it, Xun Wei had to admit that Wang Yan's governance policy covers a wide range. Once it is implemented, Yangdu County will definitely develop rapidly. However, Xun Wei also saw the loopholes and said in a deep voice: "Your plan is very good, but the shortcomings are also obvious."

"What are the shortcomings?" Wang Yan asked.

Xun Wei said awe-inspiringly: "In this world, the gentry occupies the mainstream. Your governance policy covers farmers, workers, merchants, but what about scholars and scholars? Without the support of scholars and the assistance of a large number of talents, it is difficult for you to implement the formulated policy."

Wang Yan smiled and said, "I can build a sycamore tree and have a phoenix to live in. I believe that there are talented and wise men who will take the initiative to apply. As for the gentry who do not follow the orders, those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish."

Xun Wei said: "Your methods are too domineering. If you govern a county, you should practice be kind."

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Sir, I believe that governing a country is simply a kingly way, people-oriented, and morally conquering people, too upright and soft, and it is difficult to implement it thoroughly; simple domineering, too powerful and too ruthless, which is difficult to accept. To govern a country, one should respect the heavens and compassionate the king and the art of dominance complement each other. The boy believes that the same principle is the same in Yangdu County. However, now in a chaotic world, one should use heavy priests, with domineering as the main and kingly way as the auxiliary."

Xun Wei's eyes widened, and endless shock appeared on his face covered in wind and frost.

surprise!

It's really surprising!

Xun Wei really didn't know how to describe Wang Yan. He couldn't understand how Wang Yan taught him.

In Xun Wei's view, Wang Yan's knowledge, ability and means are all evil.

This kid will become a great man.

Xun Wei took a deep breath and no longer tried to persuade Wang Yan. He changed his subject and talked about Kaiyang County and what to pay attention to as the governor of Langya State. For Wang Yan, even if Wang Yan lived for a lifetime, he would not be as experienced as Xun Wei, and he would listen carefully to Xun Wei's teachings.

Two people, one was giving a good advice, and the other listened seriously, and it was very harmonious.
Chapter completed!
