Xu Jingchang arranged for several censors to go to the southwest, focusing on understanding the situation of the southwest chieftains... Xu Jingchang was really surprised to see the customs and customs these people sent back one after another.
Because in these places, the most numerous temples are Wuhou Temple. To this day, there are still names such as Wuhou Jin and Zhuge Tongjin in the southwest... Various legends are endless, saying that Wuhou taught the local people and cured the plague. Build cities, etc.
It is not easy for a person to withstand the test of ten years, and it is even harder for a person to withstand the test of a hundred years... If after a thousand years, this person is still a god, then there is a high probability that he is truly great.
After all, there are really very few people who can withstand the test of the waves.
Xu Jingchang also saw that the people in the southwest still respected Zhuge Liang, so he dug out historical materials and wanted to study them carefully to see what Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, who was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, had done...
After Xu Jingchang read through various historical materials, he couldn't help but sigh, the pattern of Wuhou is beyond the world for more than a thousand years!
I really have the urge to kneel down and worship.
This is not nonsense, because even if a time traveler goes back with thousands of years of experience, he may not be as good as Zhuge Liang.
The prime minister conquered Nanzhong, resolutely attacked those who had serious rebellions, showed no mercy, and arranged for the wealthy people close to Shu to garrison the place... These were all routine operations. I can only say that the level of famous ministers was not extraordinary.
At that time, the prime minister's next operation came. Seeing that the climate in the southwest was suitable, he promoted Shu Brocade and guided the people in Nanzhong to plant mulberry trees.
Mentioning Marquis Wu is like reciting sutras, saying that he will devote himself to death and die, and he will be a good minister and a villain... The wealth that Prime Minister Zhuge left to future generations is not this, but how to adapt to local conditions, turn waste into treasure, and develop wild lands. , expand financial resources and strengthen national strength.
It's like turning waste into treasure.
The most exciting thing is the handling of the Weisuo land. About this, Tan Mude came to see Xu Jingchang.
In addition, if you only rely on force, you will not be able to achieve long-term peace and stability.
In short, Peiping is too small to accommodate elegant people like us.
So Zhuge Liang gave the choice of Nanzhong... plant mulberry trees to produce Shu brocade, which is expensive and easy to transport... At this time, the seemingly barbaric land of Nanzhong was turned into a place of wealth and military expenditure. place.
"Hmph! I really want to smash the statue of Confucius." Zhu Gaoxu snorted: "I have long disliked these poor people. It is best to establish a new school and teach useful things. One day, all the current courtiers can be taught. Replaced."
Don't let this guy get you into trouble...
But the question is, can the huge Shu Han rely on the small area of Bashu?
This is a serious situation... Because the terrain on the southwest side is rugged and the roads are difficult. Even if food is grown, it cannot be transported.
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about this for the time being. Arutai has gone back. I'm thinking that with his lessons learned, the Tatar ministries will be honest for a while... But we can't be too optimistic. In short, we will be in a year and a half." Get everything done within the time limit, otherwise we will be in trouble."
After the strategy was determined, action was immediately launched. Wei Guogong Xu Huizu, Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng, and Cao Guogong Li Jinglong each led their troops to patrol the Monan area and severely crack down on smuggling.
Tan Mude leaned forward and said: "I have seen it from my humble post. Duke Dingguo's initiative regarding dry shares said that some should be given to military households so that they could have enough to live... But how do these military households understand this? They only know that what was decided before was Thousands of households, hundreds of households, they are still the same now, taking whatever they want and doing whatever they want. When these people were thousands of households and hundreds of households, they couldn't guard the land carefully, and now they are asked to farm fields and produce food, I'm afraid they can't do it even more."
"His Royal Highness, the top priority right now is to immediately clean up the garrison around Peiping and convert the garrison into a farm. Secondly, we must rectify the land, arrange elite soldiers and generals, patrol the nine borders, and crack down on smuggling. Furthermore, we must immediately
Selecting talents and establishing schools is a matter of urgency. We must achieve results as soon as possible to prevent those rotten scholars from ruining the good situation."
"I helped you win the status, you must be very happy! I guess you will bless me."
Good guy, it turns out that Zhu Gaoxu was not just joking, he really created a Yixin Chamber of Commerce, and its scale is quite amazing, with no less than a hundred powerful merchants in it.
Xu Jingchang nodded, "Yes, I know everything you said, but we have to change it... When we have difficulties, we have to find a way. I will give you an idea, and you can read it in detail."
"Ding Guo Gong, I despise my position and see that this matter will not be easy to handle."
They captured a lot of Duoyan Sanwei's people earlier, don't waste it now, drag them all to Daning... Don't you want Daning Guard? Now I'll give you a good opportunity, hurry up and repair the city, build the city, and prepare
trading.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded repeatedly, "I agree... Don't worry, many merchants will follow me when I come here. This time we will gather in Peking to do something great! I want to make Yixin Chamber of Commerce famous all over the world!"
Traditional agriculture is a kind of loss that outweighs the gain.
But when you study it carefully, you will find that Zhuge Liang has created a new model...a model that focuses on industry and commerce.
Xu Jingchang has given orders to several censors to carefully study the situation in the southwest... to see if they can replicate Prime Minister Zhuge's success?
Restore Shu brocade!
Also, after the large-scale expedition to the West, there is an urgent need for a large amount of tung oil. There are too many firearms, and bristle brushes are also very expensive... Also, are there any important mines in the southwest... Let's see if we can develop gold, silver, copper and tin...
Tan Mude was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Tan Mude said: "You see, the current guards are still ministers of the imperial court in name. They support the land and have the responsibility to guard the land. If the land of the guards is sold to them and these people are relieved of their official positions,
But he has become a landlord... They are afraid that they will exploit him even more severely!"
Xu Jingchang blinked, this project is very good, he voted for it!
Xu Jingchang said: "I plan to set up a crash course in Peiping immediately... gather health officials from various places and conduct three to five months of training. Those who are qualified will be assigned to their posts. Those who are unqualified will continue to stay.
Further study. As for where it will be arranged, we have the final say."
Xu Jingchang was very calm, "First of all, Prime Minister Zhuge is an eternal genius. It is natural that future generations can't catch up... It's more important. If you can't catch up, you have to learn! But what have we been doing these years? What are we teaching in our schools? Even if
If you want to learn these things, you need someone willing to teach them, so that what you learn can be put to use!”
If the Prime Minister is given enough time, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains is not a dream. Because attacking a country that is mainly based on industry and commerce, attacking a country that is mainly agricultural, is a dimensionality reduction attack.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Shu Kingdom at that time was definitely the most capable of mobilizing among the three kingdoms, otherwise it would not have been able to continue the Northern Expedition.
"I'm afraid there are not many princes in the court who can compare with Zhuge Cheng. They have been here for more than a thousand years. They are really hopeless!" Zhu Gaoxu said bitterly.
The statue of Xu Da was sitting on the throne, with kind eyes, staring ahead... Facing his grandfather, Xu Jingchang suddenly felt a very strange feeling.
Do you know?
Peiping is a bitter cold place filled with wind and sand. I heard that the water in the wells is bitter and salty, and it is not a place for people at all.
The so-called military resources are used to make the country rich.
Today's Peiping is completely governed by military and is very efficient.
I have no choice but to take a small notebook and write it down.
Cooking wine with red mud in the cold wind...that's not elegant, that's sick.
Even Cao Pi would take Shu brocade and reward it to the vassals as a national gift.
He works for the big guys.
Even Xu Jingchang didn't expect that all his arrangements would go so smoothly... No one was holding him back, and he was still a bit unaccustomed to it.
Therefore, if you simply look at historical data on population, money and food, you will feel that the Shu Kingdom is the worst among the three kingdoms. There is nothing remarkable about the governance of the country by the prime minister... There are even weird and shocking remarks from time to time.
Not to mention Xu Jingchang's arrangement, even the Martyrs' Shrine has been repaired.
"How to say it?"
Tam Mude repeatedly said yes, "I understand, I will do it now."
"Dong Guogong, I think this method will work... But with such a large-scale mobilization, the border defenses are empty. What if the Tatars take the opportunity to go south?"
When Xu Jingchang heard this, his scalp went numb. He didn't want to be dragged into the trap by Zhu Gaoxu...but now Peiping couldn't do without him.
Among the six ministries and nine ministers, there was almost no objection.
Xu Jingchang was in full swing, launching policies one after another... The most interesting thing was that no matter what he proposed, Ying Tian quickly agreed.
"ah!"
The prime minister took the Shu brocade and sold it to Wu and Wei, earning huge profits and maintaining military expenditures. Only by doing so could he continue the Northern Expedition and maintain the livelihood of the people in the country.
Tan Mude was shocked, "What else can we do?"
This is a perfect trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
If Duke Dingguo fails, the capital will be moved to Peking...
If you just know how to guard those acres of land, what good can you achieve?
If we only select land that can be cultivated, China will always be trapped in East Asia and will never be able to get out.
The most ironic thing about this is not that the Han Dynasty did not revive again... but that the later imperial court, after more than a thousand years, did not carefully study the prime minister's strategy for governing the country!
Zhuge Liang conquered the south once and was favored by the prime minister for thousands of years. What kind of immortality is this? If you want to fight, you have to do it like this!
Is Ding Guogong doing things for himself?
First of all, the first one is that no matter what, we cannot regard Monan as a barbaric land, and we cannot regard it as dispensable...
The development of Nanzhong is imperative.
Xu Jingchang said calmly: "We stipulate that thousands of households cannot return to their original health centers and have to go to a new place. What do you think?"
Moreover, after studying Prime Minister Zhuge's strategy of governing the country...how to manage the land of Monan, the answer is readily apparent.
What we scholar-bureaucrats need is long sleeves, graceful demeanor, admiring landscapes, and talking about poetry... Can you imagine?
Xu Jingchang suddenly turned his head, looked at Miss Huang behind him, and said abruptly: "Let's get married! Right in Peiping! Right at the Martyrs' Memorial Hall!"
Miss Huang's face turned red instantly. You are too direct!
She was speechless and could only nod reluctantly...
I recommend a history book "Song Bones", which is a reform text of the Song Dynasty. You can try it.
