Chapter 721 Zhuge Liang returns to Chengdu
Zhao Yun asked Cheng Yuanzhi to lead more than 5,000 elite cavalry to garrison Tan County. He only led a team of elite cavalry back to Yuzhou. At this time, Zhuge Liang was already preparing to capture Yuzhou. Regardless of whether Zhao Yun could capture Yuzhou this time, Zhuge Liang agreed with Zhao Yun.
When he led his troops to Tan County, he had already begun to prepare for an all-out attack on Xuzhou.
As the most important minister of Liu Xin, Zhuge Liang also had the most thorough understanding of Liu Xin's policies. Whether it was Guo Jia, Zhang Ren or Huang Xu, they would ask Zhuge Liang's opinion on many things. Guo Jia often asked Zhuge Liang for his opinion when he was in Ding Qiang City.
Will write a letter to Zhuge Liang. How could Zhuge Liang not know the consequences of letting Zhao Yun go to Xuzhou?
There are some risks in this, but as Zhao Yun is the strongest person in the world except Liu Xin, his danger in Tan County is not as great as others think. Even if Zhao Yun is besieged, he can persist for half a day without any problem. Besides, he also brings
Here are the most elite soldiers in Yizhou!
Zhuge Liang dispatched 12,000 elite soldiers from Xuzhou, including 60,000 regular soldiers and more than 40,000 auxiliary soldiers, and divided them into five groups to attack Xuzhou. Twenty thousand of the regular soldiers went directly to Tan County to assist Cheng Yuanzhi in taking Donghai County as soon as possible.
Without Zhang Lu's five measures of rice, the road would be nothing but scattered sand. Some aristocratic families who originally took refuge with Zhang Lu have quietly gone into hiding, and many county and county officials have also fled one after another. It is not difficult for Zhuge Liang to capture Xuzhou. The difficulty is to manage it after occupying Xuzhou.
Zhuge Liang actually controlled the three states of Yu, Yan, and Xu, but Liu Xin did not send officials to serve as governors of these two states. Zhuge Liang could only take charge of everything first.
"Kong Ming, you also want to return to Chengdu with me. The war in Xuzhou is not over yet." Zhao Yun was about to take Zhang Lu back to Shu County when he saw Zhuge Liang packing his things and preparing to go back with him.
"Without Zhang Lu in Xuzhou, the various tribes of Wu Dou Mi Dao will definitely fight for power. There is nothing to worry about here. I have arranged everything after taking Xuzhou. I haven't seen my lord for three years. There are many things that I need to talk to him about.
Got it!" Zhuge Liang said.
Zhao Yun felt a little guilty when he heard this. Zhuge Liang must have returned to Chengdu County because he went to Tan County without authorization. He was already prepared to be scolded by Liu Xin when he returned to Shu County. Zhuge Liang must be responsible for everything when he returns this time.
, and you may have no fault but merit.
"Zilong, you don't have to think too much. I have been here in Yuzhou for more than three years. Now the situation in Yuzhou is stable. The development of Xuzhou and Yanzhou is indispensable without the support of Shujun Bank. I must tell my lord face to face.
Most of the Central Plains is already under our control, and the Lord's enthronement is just around the corner. The Political and Legal Yuan reformed this year and expanded the channels for law proposals in counties and counties. In the past, the lowest voting rights were at the township level, but now it has reached Tingxiang and Likui.
The number of people involved in the management of the entire society has increased by more than ten times. During this period, Yizhou's laws have been promulgated more than three times faster than before. This is because the lord is accelerating the construction of Yizhou's system and bringing the lord to the throne. Yizhou's laws may be
Used by every state in the world.
There are still many problems in this, and my lord may have thought of it, but if I don’t explain it clearly to my lord face to face, I still feel uneasy.” In order to prevent Zhao Yun from worrying, Zhuge Liang explained a lot to him.
In fact, Zhuge Liang was not worried that Liu Xin would deal with Zhao Yun or have any dissatisfaction with him. Liu Xin gave all his generals the power to lead the army alone. As long as he did not violate the Yizhou government order, Liu Xin would not blame him too much.
Zhao Yun couldn't hear what Zhuge Liang said at all. He also read the Shu County News and knew that Yizhou had recently introduced many new policies, especially in terms of chamber of commerce management and civil disputes. These seemed to have little to do with Zhao Yun himself, Zhuge Liang said
If it is important, it must be very important.
Zhuge Liang was going back to Chengdu, and Zhao Yun escorted him very slowly along the way. Zhuge Liang was riding in a carriage because he did not know martial arts. After passing many cities and inns, Zhuge Liang had to stop and ask about the living conditions of the people here, and Zhao Yun followed him closely to protect him. Zhang Lu
He never left Zhao Yun more than a hundred steps away.
Jiangling County is completely different from before. In the past, the population of Nanjun was only about 300,000, but now the population of Jiangling County alone is close to one million. This is a major trade window for Yizhou, especially from Jiangzhi County to Wu County.
After the opening of river trade, countless merchant ships passed through Jiangling County every day. The area of Jiangling County expanded nearly ten times than before, and it has become as special as Chengdu and Ruixian.
After entering Bajun, everything here becomes completely different. The most obvious thing is that the villages on both sides of the official road are all unified and very beautiful. There are many factories in Bajun. Most of the people here work in factories, and everyone is wearing clothes.
Cotton clothes, it can be seen that this place is much richer than Jingzhou.
There are not too many horse-drawn carriages on the Bajun official road. The main reason is that the railway here has been built. Many goods are sent to Baidi City by train. Next year, the train will go directly to Jiangling County. By then, the economy of the Han Dynasty will surely be able to meet the needs of the people.
Let’s make another leap forward.
He hasn't entered Yizhou for three years, and the changes have indeed been great. Zhuge Liang likes to talk to the local people wherever he goes. The number of factories in Yizhou has more than doubled in the past three years, including Yizhou County, Zhuti County, and Bajun.
The number of factories has increased the most, and now the monthly income of most workers in Yizhou has reached 15 yuan, which is more than twice that of Yuzhou. Many people here can already afford bicycles, and they all ride bicycles to work.
Entering the Shu County area, you can see buildings with more than three floors everywhere. Many townships are more prosperous than the county towns in Yuzhou. Most people in the township live around the bustling market. There is no city wall here, but it is better than many small counties in Yuzhou.
All must be prosperous.
Entering Chengdu County is even more exciting. Chengdu County now includes 11 of the past 23 townships. The entire Chengdu County is divided into six major regions, each with a population of more than 20.
million, the entire population of Chengdu County is now close to three million, exceeding that of all states except Yizhou.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhuge Liang sat on the carriage and looked at everything outside the window, feeling extremely proud in his heart. The great man was able to be prosperous today, and he also had a share of his contribution. Come to the Prefecture Mufu
Seeing Zhuge Liang arriving outside the door, he did not stop him. Zhuge Liang went directly to Liu Xin's study and saw Liu Xin waiting for him here.
"You didn't go home, so you came directly to the Prefecture Mufu?" Liu Xin looked at Zhuge Liang and asked with a smile.
"No, there are many things that I need to ask my lord clearly, otherwise Liang will feel uneasy." Zhuge Liang said.
"When many people in Shu County talk about Zhuge Kongming, they will first talk about his wisdom, and then they will inevitably talk about Kongming's love. For so many years, Kongming had only one son. He lived alone in Ruixian County and never took a concubine to Yuzhou. Many girls regarded Kongming as
For the lover of my dreams." Liu Xin said with a smile.
"Lord, I'm joking, my wife Yueying is virtuous, and it's enough to be as bright as Yueying!" Zhuge Liang said to Liu Xin.
"In the next few days, Shu County will issue a new policy, and concubines will also be included in the marriage registration. However, only those who have made meritorious service to my great Han Dynasty can take another concubine. The wives of those who have not done so will not be recognized by the government. Kong Ming gave me this great Han Dynasty."
Set a good example.
Okay, you are a little reckless in letting Zilong go to Tan County. I once told you that there is no rush to unify the Han Dynasty. Thought and cognition are the key to social stability." Liu Xin said.
"I understand, but now that we have captured Liangzhou and Yizhou, it has become inevitable to advance into Yuzhou and Jizhou. If we don't capture the people, I'm afraid there will be other ideas.
Zilong's affairs are indeed risky. Now that Zilong has been promoted to Peerless, Xuzhou will soon come under our control. This is also a kind of pressure for Zhang Xiu. His subordinates asked Xi Zhicai to go to Yecheng through Guo Jia to persuade Zhang Xiu.
He intends to submit to his lord, but he is just as unwilling to hand over all his rights as Zhang Yun, and his subordinates have not yet contacted him again." Zhuge Liang said.
"Okay, have a good rest when you come back. The time for the unification of the Han Dynasty has come. Zhou Tai, Huang Zhong, Zhang Zha and others will all come back in the twelfth lunar month. At that time, I will ask important officials from various states and counties to return to Chengdu County together. Then we will discuss it together.
The matter of ascending the throne." Liu Xin said.
Zhuge Liang was very happy when he heard that Liu Xin was finally going to ascend the throne. The situation in the Central Plains would soon be completely stabilized after Liu Xin ascended the throne. After years of accumulation, the number of officials in Yizhou was sufficient, and the evaluation rules for Yizhou officials had been improved, even if it was impossible to appoint officials now.
Meet the requirements and everything will be fine in the future.
Moreover, all construction in Yizhou has been completed. The railway from Yizhou County to Bajun, and the railway from Ruixian County to the southeast of Yizhou. Now the construction in Yizhou has been shaped into a "well" shape. All counties, villages and forts have been almost completed.
Once completed, a large amount of funds can be supported to other areas outside Yizhou.
Today's autumn harvest is no longer a big deal for Yizhou. The Ministry of Agriculture has completed the autumn harvest work without much effort from the government. Due to the continuous improvement of farm tools, the manpower required for farming has reduced, and many places have begun to farm.
Every year in the state, a large amount of grain is quietly destroyed because it has been stored for too long, but Liu Xin still asked Qilin Trading Company to purchase all farm grain to ensure stable grain prices.
Zhuge Liang returned to Ruixian, which made many people in the Prefecture Mufu couldn't help but secretly guess whether Liu Xin was going to make big moves. Zhuge Liang was Liu Xin's chief minister. Xuzhou was not yet stable, and Jizhou's attitude was not yet stable.
It is clear that Liu Xin summoned his main generals back, and even Zhuge Liang came back.
The next day, the Prefectural Mufu received Liu Xin's order. Liu Xin gave a list of 300 officials, which included all important officials in the eight states, as well as some representatives of aristocratic families. Everyone was now
Understand, Liu Xin is finally going to ascend the throne, and everyone is speculating whether Liu Xin will continue the name of the Han Dynasty or build a new country.
In the early morning, Liu Xin took the train back to Rui County with Wang Xiaohua, Zhang Qingyu, Liu Chan, and several children. Liu's mother and Zhen Mi were in Rui County these days. As Liu's mother got older, she disliked Chengdu County more and more.
