Chapter 197: Benefiting the People
"De'ang, Wei Gong, Yuan Jian, and you will discuss with General Meng and the others a careful and detailed charter. We must implement this method." Zhuge Liang also asked Li Hui and the others.
The implementation of the strategy of allocating tribes of barbarians with common surnames was not a temporary achievement. It was a long-term national policy, so the person specifically responsible for its implementation had to be Li Hui, the highest military and political officer in Nanzhong.
The three of them agreed, and Meng Huo and others once again expressed their full support. Zhuge Liang saw that no one had any objections to this matter, so he asked Yang Yi to announce the following strategy.
"Ahem." Yang Yi drew everyone's attention back and continued: "Everyone, the Prime Minister has made a reasonable arrangement for the establishment of Nanzhong, the scholars and the various barbarians. This can eliminate the barriers of rebellion and ensure that Nanzhong
There will never be any big trouble again.
It's just that the emperor commissioned the prime minister to come to Nanzhong in person, not so that we can just be satisfied that there will be no turmoil in Nanzhong, but to truly bring the emperor's blessings to the Han and Yi people of all ethnic groups in Nanzhong. Therefore, after the prime minister's planning,
We plan to implement three policies to benefit the people so that the people of Nanzhong can live a good life."
"May I ask Yang Canjun, what are his three strategies?" Ma Zhong asked curiously. He is now the prefect of Zanggan, and it is related to the well-being of the people under his rule. He cannot be ignored as a people-friendly official.
Yang Yi smiled faintly: "Don't be anxious, Mr. Mafu. I will tell you right away. The so-called three strategies to benefit the people are: building roads, promoting agriculture, and planting tea."
"May I ask Yang Canjun how to build roads, develop agriculture, and grow tea?" Ma Zhong asked eagerly.
Yang Yi thought to herself that Ma Dexin used to have an angry and secretive temper when he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Why did he talk more when he arrived at Nanzhong? Could it be that things are different now that he is a prefect?
Yang Yi didn't know that he really guessed it right. Ma Zhong used to serve as a subordinate in the Prime Minister's Mansion and was responsible for the safety and security of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion. Naturally, he had to be cautious in his words and deeds and be meticulous.
It's different now. Now that he has been released as the guardian of a county, he has to worry about the livelihood of the people in the county. Although he has outstanding talents, it is the first time he has taken on such an important task. It is because everything is difficult at the beginning, and some
When he was at a loss, he suddenly learned that the Prime Minister had a ready-made governance strategy. Of course, he was anxious to know the details.
"The so-called road construction..."
Yang Yi was about to explain clearly these three strategies to benefit the people when Zhuge Liang suddenly interrupted: "It was Mingzhi who proposed these three methods first. Mingzhi, it's up to you to explain them clearly to everyone."
"No." Yang Qing stood up and saluted in response.
He bowed his hands to everyone, and then explained the three strategies of building roads, promoting agriculture, and growing tea to benefit the people. After a while, everyone finally understood the specific contents of these three strategies.
Needless to say, road construction is something most people can imagine. However, due to financial constraints, the road from Nanzhong to Shuzhong has not been repaired. Yang Qingyan said that there are three ways to build a road construction team, which will consume less people's resources.
some.
First, the rebel soldiers captured during the counterinsurgency can be added to the construction team, so that the rebels can atone for their sins without disturbing ordinary people.
The second method is to recruit refugees and build roads with work-for-work relief, which can relieve the victims and save money and food. The last method is to cooperate with the barbarian tribes in various counties and let them contribute people. Of course, the government is in Yantie
Give them certain preferential policies in other aspects.
With such a three-pronged approach, if the government makes appropriate use of civilian labor, the roads in Nanzhong will not have to worry about being repaired. These methods have been implemented in Yuexun County, and the results are very good. Many people present may
Most of them had heard of it before, so once Yang Qing mentioned it, everyone burst out shouting.
As for promoting agriculture, it is an old method used by the government. However, now that Yang Qing has popularized the curved shaft plow and the new type of turning cart, I believe that the government in the counties and counties in Nanzhong will be much more relaxed in encouraging students to cultivate mulberry trees in the future.
However, Yang Qing also mentioned that the development of agriculture in Nanzhong must be inseparable from various tribes. He suggested that the curved shaft plow and turning cart should also be promoted among the Yi people, and the backward farming methods of some tribes such as slash-and-burn farming should be changed. This is related to the development of agriculture in Nanzhong.
Expand the great cause of household registration and improving people's well-being.
Of course, specific strategies such as how to promote pear cultivation among the barbarians and whether to conduct exchanges of interests are up to each county based on the specific conditions within its own territory.
Nowadays, tea is mostly used as medicine in Nanzhong, but it is rarely used as a beverage. It is necessary to promote it. As for the planting areas, it is mainly promoted in the current Jianning County, Yunnan County, and Yongchang County. In later generations, these places were rich in tea.
If it is implemented over time and the tea and horse trade is connected to the North, the lives of the people in the South and Central China will surely improve a lot.
After listening to this, everyone all agreed that these three strategies were actually good ways to manage the country and benefit the people. If they could be implemented, Nanzhong would definitely be able to achieve great governance.
"Ming Zhi is indeed a great talent. With these three strategies, Nanzhong will definitely prosper. Unfortunately, our county is poor and sparsely populated, so it will be difficult for us to prosper." Ma Zhong sighed.
"Mr. Mafu, thank you very much. As long as the road is open, Xianggao County will also prosper." Yang Qing comforted him a little, but didn't say much.
Among the counties in Nanzhong, the conditions in Zangke County are the worst. It is said that the land of Zangke is rainy, has customs that favor witches and ghosts, and has few animals and no sericulture. Therefore, this county is the poorest. If you want to have a big success in this era, this county
Development is probably very difficult, the only way is to try it slowly.
"I will bear the auspicious words of the Ming Dynasty and guard the country on behalf of the emperor. I will definitely work hard for it." Ma Zhong was a capable minister after all, and he soon became inspired again.
After that, everyone expressed their opinions on the strategy of governing Nanzhong and discussed many clever strategies, all of which Zhuge Liang adopted. The affairs of Nanzhong were properly arranged, and everyone was in a happy mood. Zhuge Liang was in the back garden of the government office again.
A banquet was held, and everyone gathered together to eat until they got drunk.
A few days later, Yang Qing went into the mansion to report official business to Zhuge Liang. When he entered the public room, he saw that he was not writing furiously in front of the case as usual. Instead, he was leaning over two long cases made up of two long cases, wiping ink and brushing his brush, as if he was writing something.
Draw something.
"Prime Minister, are you painting?" Yang Qing asked curiously.
Zhuge Liang stopped writing, raised his head and smiled: "The Ming Dynasty is here, why don't you come over and see how I am doing?"
Yang Qing took a closer look and saw that there was a piece of white silk about six feet long and two feet wide spread on the long table. There were also paints such as black ink, cinnabar, and azurite on the side. It seemed that Zhuge Liang was really
It's painting.
I saw that the sky, earth, sun and moon had been painted on the silk cloth, and behind it seemed to be an emperor wearing the emperor's robes. Most of the body had been painted, only the lower body was missing.
"What are you painting?" Yang Qing thought to himself, he really didn't understand the meaning of the whole painting.
"The Prime Minister can still draw pictures?"
Zhuge Liang was a little choked after hearing this. After a long time, he said angrily: "Why, I can't do Danqingxie?"
"Hey, that's not what Qing meant. It was just the first time I saw the Prime Minister painting, so I was a little curious." Yang Qing laughed sarcastically and quickly explained.
He didn't know that Zhuge Liang was good at painting and was a representative figure among ancient painters. According to "Records of Famous Paintings of the Past Dynasties": Zhuge Liang's paintings are divided into three ancient times to determine the high and low. Taking Han, Wei and the Three Kingdoms as the ancient, then
Zhao Qi, Liu Bao, Cai Yong, Zhang Heng, Cao Yan, Yang Xiu, Huan Fan, Xu Miao, Cao Buxing, Zhuge Liang and others were like this.
