Liao Hua, who was in his early forties this year and had just been transferred to the Prime Minister's Office to join the army in the spring, saw Ma Su saying that no one might take the initiative to take up the post in Yuexi County. He suddenly remembered what happened a few years ago and suggested.

"I think you are the perfect fit for me, Youchang. In the 23rd year of Jian'an, it was because King Gaoding of Yi launched a rebellion and attacked Xindao County in Yuexi County, which cut off the roads, so that you, the newly appointed governor of Yuexi County, could not move forward.

Go to take office. Now that Gaoding is rebelling in Yueqi County again, I see you, Chang, taking this opportunity to go and destroy this thief's arrogance."

Ma Su smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Liao, the imperial court has no plans to send troops south this year. Now the country has only one county in Yuechei and only a thousand soldiers. What can I do if I go there at this time? Although the current political situation in the DPRK has been stabilized

However, since the beginning of the new year, many things have happened, and the officials in the government have been struggling to maintain it. I thought that the chief officials in the government could not be released as officials at this time."

Zhuge Liang also felt that it was not appropriate to let Ma Su join the army at this time. This year he planned to recruit a large number of new soldiers and train the team. At this time, it was precisely when people like Ma Su who were proficient in the art of war were needed to counsel military affairs and organize the army to teach martial arts, so he added more troops.

Liao Hua, an experienced man with both literary and military skills, joined the army. Later he planned to increase the number of people joining the army, so the number of soldiers was still insufficient at this time, so how could he be willing to go out again?

Zhuge Liang rejected Liao Hua's suggestion in his heart, but still asked Jiang Wan, the Dongcao governor who was in charge of the removal of two thousand stone officials and military officials: "Gong Yan is the Dongcao governor, do you have a suitable person to choose as the governor of Yuesi?"

Jiang Wan said: "Prime Minister, there are several candidates, but I would like to ask them what they think before making the selection. Only in this way can everyone make the best use of their talents."

When Zhuge Liang heard what he said, he felt that it was reasonable and praised: "It is better for Gongyan to be cautious and meticulous. I will discuss the candidate for the new governor of Yueqi after you have made the decision."

"Prime Minister, there is one more thing." Jiang Wan said again: "Gong Dexu died in the king's affairs, how should he deal with his death?"

"In accordance with the court's regulations, we will increase pensions and reward family members generously. Jun Hui, Wen Yi Gong, and Jun Si Gong will draw up a charter."

Zhuge Liang also felt sad when he thought of Gong Lu's murder. This man was only thirty years old this year. He dared to venture into dangerous wilderness when the country was in crisis. It can be seen that he was ambitious and courageous. In time, he will be a pillar of the country. Now

It's such a pity to die.

Returning to his official residence, Yang Qing sat down and drank a sip of herbal tea. He did not express any opinions during the discussion just now because he was still thinking about Gong Lu's murder and the Yi people's attack on the city. In his memory, Jianxing

The rebels in Nanzhong did not make any big move to attack and kill prefect-level officials in the second year. How could such a serious incident happen now?

Yang Qing only remembered roughly what happened before and after the Shu-Han Nanzhong. In fact, Gong Lu was actually killed by the barbarians in the third year of Jianxing after Zhuge Liang went south to conquer Gaoding. As for why he was killed in the second year of Jianxing now,

He was killed early in the year, which seems to have something to do with Yang Qing's arrival.

Because he contributed the method of making the curved shaft plow and the turning cart, the level of Ji Han's agricultural tools was immediately improved for hundreds of years, and Zhuge Liang is now promoting these two new agricultural tools throughout the country.

Although Yueqi County was far away in Nanzhong and occupied by the barbarians, Anshang County was still in the hands of the imperial court. Therefore, after the spring of this year, Gong Lu also received a batch of Quyuan plows and overturned carts transferred from Jianwei County. He was originally

I wanted to use these two sharp weapons to complete the spring plowing so that I could save some food, but I was accidentally attacked and killed by the barbarians without thinking. It has to be said that the arrival of Yang Qing changed many people and things.

of the historical ending.

"Wen Ping, see if the Prime Minister is seeing anyone at this time?" Yang Qing asked Shi Dujun to come in and change the hot tea for him. He just came back from Zhuge Liang, and at this time, the plan in his heart was decided.

, prepare to chat with Zhuge Liang alone.

In fact, when Zhuge Liang asked about the candidate for the new governor of Yueqi just now, Yang Qing had a plan in mind.

Since he became the Prime Minister's Director last year, he has successively presented the methods of making tea, turning plows, and rolling carts, and also suggested that Zhuge Liang establish a comprehensive water conservancy construction and management system with Dujiangyan as the core. Now the entire Yizhou is under Zhuge Liang's control.

Under the leadership, they are vigorously engaged in farming and grain cultivation, building water conservancy projects, planting mulberry and weaving tapestry, selecting talents and appointing capable people, and gathering troops to practice martial arts. It can be said that Ji Han's internal affairs are gradually getting on the right track, and the country's vitality should be restored when the harvest season comes.

The country's situation is gradually improving, and Yang Qing feels that it is difficult for him to make a difference while staying at the Jihan Center. After all, if he wants to further enhance his voice and achieve deep-seated changes, he must have excellent qualifications and achievements. And he wants to

In order to obtain qualifications and merits without the imperial court carrying out large-scale military operations, the only way to have a chance is to work at the local level. Moreover, there are some things that Yang Qing would inevitably be timid about doing in the central government, and he would be constrained by local restrictions.

It's much smaller.

Therefore, Yang Qing felt that the Yuexi Incident was an opportunity. This year, he went to Nanzhong to gain a foothold. This would not only provide him with a frontline before Zhuge Liang's official southern expedition next year, but also allow him to participate in the southern expedition to gain military exploits.

, why not do this?

Therefore, Yang Qing's plan was decided, and he was immediately prepared to strike while the iron was hot and win the post of governor of Yueqi in one fell swoop, lest Jiang Wan and the others had already selected a candidate and then he would have to find ways to squeeze him out, which would cause trouble.

Therefore, when Du Jun reported that the prime minister was not seeing anyone else at this time, he hurriedly crossed the pavilion door and came to Zhuge Liang's palace again.

"What, you want to be the governor of Yueqi?" Zhuge Liang was surprised after hearing Yang Qing's request, and thought to himself, no wonder this guy didn't say a word just now. It turned out that he had a big idea in his heart.

"Yes, Prime Minister." Yang Qing said: "Since becoming an official in the Qing Dynasty, there has been no experience in serving as an official in the local area. What's more, Han Feizi once said that the prime minister must start from the state and county, and the strong generals must be sent to the army. This time, the governor of Yuesi

Since there was a vacancy, I thought I could just go somewhere and practice some training."

Well, Zhuge Liang agrees with this idea. He has high hopes for Yang Qing, and in the training and promotion route planned for him, he also plans to let him serve in local areas, but not now. He also wants Yang Qing to serve in the Prime Minister's Mansion again.

Stay for two years.

Zhuge Liang nodded: "That makes sense. It's just that you are so confident that you can be the governor of Yueqi. You must know that although this is a border governor, he is also a high-ranking official with two thousand shi. Although you are my chief secretary, you have only just held the position.

After a few months, I am afraid that after being promoted like this, there will be criticism from the government."

Yang Qing also knew that his qualifications were relatively low. It would be fine to move from Prime Minister to the level of county magistrate or prefect. Liao Hua was moved to the prefect of Yidu when he was still the chief of the former general Guan Yu. Of course

His credit is also great. He defrauded Soochow and returned with his mother. Therefore, the late emperor was very happy and directly promoted him to the prefect. Yang Qing's credit is also sufficient. Now the main reason is that his tenure is too short, and it is difficult to guarantee that some people will feel that

His qualifications are not enough to be promoted to prefect so quickly.

"Prime Minister, my qualifications are relatively low." Yang Qing said shamelessly: "But my merits are sufficient. If anyone can't understand the theory, I think I am qualified for this position."

Zhuge Liang snorted: "Look at what you kid is capable of, but you are right. In terms of merit, it is more than a mistake to ask you to do this as the governor of a city."

Zhuge Liang thought to himself that now there is only one city in Anshang County under the jurisdiction of the Yuesi Prefect. He is said to be a prefect, but in fact he is a large county magistrate. If he is so careless, it makes sense to let Yang Qing serve as the Yuesi Prefect. Not to mention this

The boy is good at political affairs and has a good command of strategy, so he is indeed a suitable candidate to stabilize the situation and appease the common people.

On a deeper level, by putting his chief registrant out to serve as the extremely dangerous governor of Yueqi, he wanted to express to the world and the rebels the determination of the imperial court to never give up on Nanzhong.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang somewhat agreed with Yang Qing's request.
