Chapter 193: Governing the South

In the prefect's mansion of Kunze City, Zhuge Liang was sitting at the desk with his eyes closed and meditating. He didn't know what he was thinking.

It was already the fifth day after the three armies joined forces. The people in Kunze and several nearby counties had settled down. The turbulent situation was basically stable. However, putting down the rebellion was only the first step. What was more important was how to govern Nanzhong.

.

He had already drafted the strategy for governing Nanzhong, and had discussed it with Ma Di and others before the Southern Expedition. However, after coming to Nanzhong in person, his experience was naturally different from before, and the details needed to be considered carefully.

As the saying goes, one person is a master, but two people are very short. Even though Zhuge Liang has great talents, he is not a god, and he also has imperfect considerations. Therefore, he often warns the officials around him to boldly point out his shortcomings and mistakes.

The so-called "picking up the slack and filling the gaps" is nothing more than this.

Today, Zhuge Liang remembered that he had discussed the affairs of Nanzhong with Yang Qing several times in the past, and got a lot of inspiration from him. An important reason why he agreed with him to send Nanzhong to serve as the governor was to try out the proposed governance strategy in Yuexun first.

"Now it seems that the effect is very good, it's time to implement it." Zhuge Liang couldn't help but think.

"Prime Minister, Yang Qing, the governor of Yuexun, has arrived." Yang Yi came in and announced.

"Let him come in." Zhuge Liang opened his eyes and said with a smile. Today he will have a good talk with Yang Qing to see if there is any improvement in his strategy. After all, Yang Qing always has some fantastic ideas.

"Qing has met the Prime Minister." Yang Qing followed Yang Yi into the public house.

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang stood up and said with a smile: "Mingzhi is here, sit down." After that, he said to Yang Yi: "Master Wei, please sit down and chat together."

With his identity, he naturally did not stand up to greet Yang Qing. He actually stood up and moved about after sitting for a long time. The three of them were all close, so he was more casual. If he met other people, he must maintain the dignity of a country.

.

Yang Qing and Yang Yi, one of whom had been the prime minister's chief clerk and the other was now the prime minister joining the army, certainly knew Zhuge Liang's character and did not hesitate to sit down.

"It is clear that the three thieves Yong Kai and others have surrendered to justice, and Meng Huo and others have also surrendered. The rebellion in Nanzhong can be said to have been basically put down. Next, we must make proper arrangements for Nanzhong to achieve long-term peace and stability. I have discussed this matter with you before.

I have done it many times, and I still want to hear your opinion today." Zhuge Liang walked to the door and looked at the scenery of the courtyard outside, with his back to Yang and Qing and said.

Yang Qing pondered for a moment and replied: "Prime Minister, our country currently only has land in Yizhou. The country is small and the people are small. If we want to compete with Wei and Wu, we must vigorously govern Nanzhong.

All the counties in Nanzhong, except Zangqi County, are rich in products. Yizhou County has salt ponds, fields, fisheries, gold, silver and livestock products. Yongchang County has fertile land, suitable for growing grains and sericulture. And we have it.

The land in Yuexun County is flat and the rice fields are fertile. The land in Nanzhong can be said to have great potential. As long as the court manages it carefully, it will surely increase the national income."

"Mr. Yang Fu is right, Nanzhong is rich in products, including salt, iron, fish, rice, gold, silver, cattle and horses. If the court manages it properly, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains will definitely be beneficial." Yang Yi also agreed, saying that he also

I have done some research on Nanzhong’s real estate situation.

Zhuge Liang smiled, returned to his seat, picked up a scroll of letters on the table, then walked to Yang Qing and handed it to him: "These are some strategies I have drawn up. Please take a look."

Yang Qing stood up and took it with both hands and read it. He saw that there were four outlines on the slip: division of counties, Nanshi, immigration, and branch. After each outline, there were notes explaining the specific content in detail. After reading it, he felt like something

He realized it, and then handed the slip to Yang Yi.

After the two of them finished reading, Zhuge Liang asked: "What do you think of these four strategies?"

Yang Qing glanced at Yang Yi and saw that he was still thinking, so he said: "Prime Minister, the Qing Dynasty believed that the rebellion in Nanzhong was caused by two major barriers. One was the gap between the scholars in Nanzhong and the court in central Sichuan, and the other was the gap between the barbarians and the Sichuan court.

The estrangement between the people of our Han family.

Although there are many barbarians among the people in the south, there are also hundreds of thousands of Han people. The classics and teachings were also spread from Shuzhong and Runan to the local area. Although there are fewer scholars and officials than in the north, they are not absent. Of course, most scholars are located in the south.

It's just a family with a big surname.

For example, Yongchang County has the four major surnames Chen, Zhao, Xie, and Yang; Zangqi County has the major surnames Long, Fu, Yin, Dong, and Wang; Yizhou County has the four major surnames Yong, Meng, Huo, and Cuan; Zhuti County has the major surnames Zhu and Lu

, Lei, Xing, Qiu, Di, Gao, Li, etc.

These people are located in an extremely remote area and are despised by the officials in Shu. Most of them have great talents but do not meet them. Therefore,

The resentment of the other generation has been growing for a long time, and they are alienated from Chengdu. This is the first kind of estrangement.

The second type of estrangement is the conflict between the barbarians and the Han people, the first of which is the estrangement between the powerful and powerful surnames. The Han people have been rich and powerful for many generations, while the barbarian people live in poverty.

The Han people occupy the prosperous and fertile land, while the barbarians live in the barren mountains and forests. Naturally, the barbarians will not be reconciled in the long run. I think the four major strategies of the Prime Minister can eliminate these two major barriers, and they are really good strategies."

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly and said: "I know that Ming always has wonderful strategies and implements good government in Yuexi. You can tell me frankly to make up for the omissions in these four strategies."

Zhuge Liang's strategy was already very complete, but Yang Qing really had some ideas to add, and said: "The Qing Dynasty thought that Yuexun was the most important among the counties in Nanzhong, and the Han people in Yuexun alone accounted for nearly half of the Han people in the entire Nanzhong, and

There is a large river valley and plain in the county, which is suitable for farming, and there are also salt and iron. Therefore, if the court can pay attention to it, it can quickly control this area to benefit the country, and slowly it can become the foundation of the king to transform Nanzhong."

"Well, what Ming said is reasonable. Yuexun connects Hanjia and Qianwei at the top, and leads to Yongchang and Yizhou at the bottom. If it can be managed into a small granary for the imperial court and a place for goods transfer, it will be beneficial to Yuexun itself, and to the entire Nanzhong and even the whole of Nanzhong.

The country will benefit greatly." Zhuge Liang agreed.

Yang Yi, who had not spoken for a long time, had some objections: "But Prime Minister, after all, Yuexun County is located in the west corner, and it cannot be compared to Yizhou County, which is located in the middle and connects all directions. Therefore, Yi thinks that among the counties in the south, Yizhou County is the focus.

appropriate."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhuge Liang did not answer when he heard this, but turned to look at Yang Qing with a smile. Yang Qing understood what he meant and replied loudly: "What Yang Canjun said is not true."

It makes no sense, because the location of Yuexun County is a little to the west. However, the Qing Dynasty thought that controlling Nanzhong can be done from two aspects, one is civil affairs, which can be based on Yuexun, and the other is military, and Yizhou can be focused on."

After saying that, he raised his hands and said to Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, now the people in Nanzhong are well aware of the power of the imperial army. Therefore, the governor's office of Najiang can be moved south from Pingyi County to Yizhou County to strengthen the imperial rule over Nanzhong.

."

Moving to the south and surrendering to the Governor's Mansion was Zhuge Liang's original approach in history. At this moment, he had this plan in mind. Yang Qing's proposal was exactly what he had in mind, so he nodded and said with a smile: "This Ming ritual coincides with mine."

!”

Yang Yi had also known for a long time that Zhuge Liang had a plan to move south and surrender to the Governor's Mansion, but he didn't expect Yang Qing to have this idea as well. His understanding of this person's ability today was deeper than before. However, he admired

His mind was also mixed with a little dissatisfaction and a trace of fear that he was not aware of.

"I understand the words of Mr. Yang." Yang Yi felt inexplicable in her heart, and she even raised her hands and sighed in admiration to Yang Qing.

Yang Qing returned the gesture with his hand, and then said: "Prime Minister, when Yang joined the army, Qing thought that if Nanzhong was to have long-term peace and stability, it would also benefit the Han and Yi people. Only when the people return to the court can Nanzhong achieve real long-term peace."

"What's the clever idea?" Zhuge Liang smiled and stroked his beard.

Yang Qing smiled and said: "I can't speak of clever strategies, just some ideas. Prime Minister, Nanzhong is rich in products, but if you want to communicate with Shuzhong, you have to build roads. As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, you must build roads first.

Road, that’s exactly what it means.”

Nowadays, the land route from Shuzhong to Nanzhong still uses the Wuchi Road, Nanyi Road, Yanniu Road and other roads dug during the Qin Dynasty and the Early Han Dynasty. However, at the end of the Later Han Dynasty, the power of the imperial court declined and many road sections were blocked and cut off, which was extremely disadvantageous.

A large amount of goods passed through.

"If you want to get rich, build a road first. This is an interesting saying. No wonder Mingzhi attaches great importance to opening up the Yanniu Road that leads to the middle of Shu." Zhuge Liang repeated Yang Qing's novel statement, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was true.

rational.

"Exactly, but this can't be completed in a short time. It requires a long-term plan." Yang Qing smiled bitterly. In this era, building roads in the high mountains of Nanzhong is not an easy task.

After taking a sip of tea, Yang Qing continued: "The second step is to vigorously promote the curved shaft plow and rollover, so that the output of Nanzhong's grain will be greatly increased. The more important point is that it can attract mountain barbarians to the low hills of the plains.

After farming and settling down for a while, we can organize the people into households, increase the population, and pay taxes."

"Well, this makes sense, let me tell you if you have any other clever ideas." Zhuge Liang had already thought of promoting farming.

Yang Qingdao: "How can there be any clever ideas in the Qing Dynasty? It's just a little bit of insight. Prime Minister, the climate in Yizhou County is like spring all year round, and it rains in winter, so it is most suitable for growing tea. If the imperial court can do it here,

Vigorous promotion of tea cultivation can add another livelihood to the people of Nanzhong. In the future, Nanzhong can also join the tea-horse trade, strengthening ties with Sichuan and even the north."...

"good.

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said happily: "I understand that this method is very wonderful, and I can try it out."

Zhuge Liang really didn't expect to promote tea cultivation. These days, he has plans to spread the advanced technology of Shu to Nanzhong. However, the people in Nanzhong are mostly barbarians. The pros and cons must be carefully considered, otherwise the barbarians will be harmed.

It's not beautiful to have other thoughts.

Now what Yang Qing said about growing tea is harmless. If this move is implemented, it will be a good deed for the court and the people of Nanzhong.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "It seems that you did the right thing to invite Mingzhi here today. Can you tell me, Mr. Wei?"

"What the Prime Minister said is true. Mr. Yang is really a talented person in governing the world. Today, Yi has really benefited a lot." Yang Yi laughed twice and echoed. But he said it beautifully, but there was a flash in his eyes.

The inexplicable look on his face showed that he did not really feel this way in his heart. However, Zhuge Liang and Yang Qing were chatting happily and did not notice anything unusual about him.

The three of them discussed the matter in Nanzhong for a long time until it was time to eat. Zhuge Liang stayed with the two of them to have lunch together, and then talked for a while before letting them leave.
