Chapter 1004 Past and Future
Liu Xie did not agree to Zhuge Liang immediately, but asked him to write a report and submit it to Situ Mansion for review.

Moreover, this matter cannot be directly operated by Zhuge Liang, Zhao Xiang Yang Jun should come forward.

You must follow the rules in everything, especially Zhuge Liang, who is easy to make a big show, can't easily leave an excuse for others.

Judging from Yang Jun's performance, he still took care of Zhuge Liang and shared a lot of responsibilities.

Zhuge Liang agreed.

He never wanted to bypass Yang Jun, but just wanted to hear the emperor's opinion first.

Handan is a famous city in Hebei. In a sense, its status is higher than Yecheng. It is the core of Jizhou, not just the county seat of Handan County, or the capital of Zhao State.

To carry out a large-scale re-planning of Handan, he would like to hear the emperor's thoughts.

Liu Xie doesn't have much experience in urban planning, but he knows an important principle: brainstorming.No one is all-rounder, but by pooling the wisdom of all, most mistakes can be avoided.

It is a process of brainstorming for Situ Mansion to review this planning plan.

Besides, he wanted to teach Zhuge Liang one more thing.

Don't think that you can settle everything because you are good, and ignore other people's opinions.

This is the most common mistake made by smart people, and Zhuge Liang is a typical example.

The two monarchs and ministers discussed the future of Handan City, which inevitably turned to the planning of the entire Jizhou.

Jizhou is a large plain, suitable for farming.There are many rivers and water conservancy is also very developed.But Jizhou also has the disadvantages of Jizhou, which are mainly reflected in two points.

First, the administrative divisions are complicated and intertwined, which is extremely inconvenient for management.One is that most of the rivers run from west to east, passing through the whole territory, but the communication between them is inconvenient.

Therefore, traffic in the north-south direction relies on land, that is, the avenue at the foot of the Taihang Mountains.In addition, the land traffic in the eastern plain is cut off by a large number of rivers, which is an embarrassing situation.

This avenue at the east foot of Taihang has a long history, but it has not kept up with the development of the times.

Zhuge Liang's proposal aimed at these two points.

One is to re-plan, with key cities as the core, to minimize unnecessary troubles.

The reason why the borders of the counties are so complicated is not only because of the balance of economic strength, but also to check each other, so as to prevent a certain county from being too powerful.

Now that the imperial court controls Jizhou and has four generals, the hidden danger of the end of the county and the country no longer exists, so there is no need to think about it this way.

The second is to comprehensively treat the rivers in the east to form a criss-cross water network to make internal water transportation more convenient.

Water transportation is the lowest cost mode of transportation and the most labor-saving way for bulk materials. A sound water network will have a major impact on the development of Jizhou and lay the foundation for further economic growth in a few years.

The views of the two are basically similar, the difference lies only in some details.

And these details are exactly what to brainstorm.

Such a large project cannot be decided by patting the head, not even Zhuge Liang's Handan Order can make suggestions.

What Zhuge Liang considered was how to give full play to the special status of Handan, play an important role in this round of planning, and create opportunities for development in the next few years or even decades.

On this point, he and Yang Jun coincided.

The report written by Zhuge Liang and signed by Prime Minister Yang Jun was soon submitted to Situ Mansion.

After Situ Mansion conducted a preliminary review, it believed that this matter involved a large number of water and soil projects, and it was necessary for Sikong Mansion to be deeply involved, so it asked for an imperial edict to arrange for Sikong Zhou Zhong to come to Jizhou.

Liu Xie agreed, and issued an imperial edict, ordering Sikong Zhou Zhong and related personnel to go there.

Zhang Zhao got out of the car, saw Zhou Yu at the same time as he saw Sun Ce, and his heart skipped a beat.

But he soon calmed down and dusted off his clothes calmly.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu stepped forward to greet Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao nodded. "When did Gongjin come?"

"A few days ago." Zhou Yu looked at Zhang Zhao with a smile. "I heard from Marquis Wu that Mr. Zhang has achieved outstanding achievements in his virtuous administration in Bohai. Yu even admired the scholar-officials. I wanted to rush to visit, but the prince said that Mr. Zhang was coming soon, so I am here to congratulate you."

When it comes to political achievements, Zhang Zhao is somewhat entangled.

On the one hand, he does not admit the failure of Bohai's virtuous government. After all, everyone lives in peace and gets along with courtesy, which is close to the country of gentlemen advocated by Confucianism.

Against the backdrop of more than a dozen turmoil, such a rare sight is enough to comfort people's hearts.

In a sense, this is the ideal situation for Confucianism.

Do not suffer from widowhood, but suffer from unevenness.

On the other hand, he had to admit that the recovery speed of Bohai was not as fast as that of other counties, and there was no possibility of narrowing the gap for the time being, and it would only widen.

Entering the territory of Handan, his feeling was even more obvious.

Even the simplicity he was proud of became shabby in the eyes of Handan people, which caused visible changes in the mentality of his followers.

Facing Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao smiled lightly. "Gong Jin is not afraid of hardships, goes deep into Mobei, takes merit as his business, and still has the mood to go to Bohai Sea to see us a group of pedantic scholars entertaining themselves?"

Zhou Yu shook his head seriously. "Zhang Zhao's words, forgive me for not agreeing. I was ordered to go to Mobei. Although I have the intention of making contributions, it is not limited to this. In the future, I will survey the situation in Mobei and provide reference for the border guards. In the past, I was looking for the lost Chinese people and leading them back to civilization."

Zhang Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and his eyes became focused. "The lost Chinese people?"

Zhou Yu then told about the tribes he saw in Mobei.

Although he didn't insist that those people were the adherents of the Shang Dynasty, the evidence he presented was enough for Zhang Zhao to associate in that direction.

Confucianism is not known for its rigorous logic, and far-fetched thinking is a habit.

Zhang Zhao was moved when he heard that there were indeed survivors of the Shang Dynasty living in Mobei.

Speaking carefully, the origin of Confucianism has a lot to do with Shang. Confucius himself was a survivor of the Shang Dynasty, and his ancestor was Shang Tang, one of the sage kings.

"In this case, Gong Jin's trip has been of great merit."

Zhou Yu smiled wryly and shook his head. "It's a pity that I have little knowledge, and I don't know anything about exegesis. Although I feel that the languages ​​of those tribes are close to ancient sounds, I don't have the ability to distinguish them. If there are great Confucianists who are proficient in exegesis, they may be able to hear the words of Lianshan and Guizang from their mouths." original."

"Lianshan, Guizang?" Zhang Zhao turned pale with shock.

"I guessed it." Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Those tribes have no books, no scholars, only stories passed down by word of mouth, and those who remember these stories are the wizards of the tribe. They use divination to predict good and bad luck, which seems to be a bit like Gu Yi. resemblance."

Zhang Zhao rolled his eyes and nodded repeatedly. "Very likely, very possible. If Lianshan and Guizang can be reappeared in the world, it will be auspicious for Confucianism. Gongjin, when will you go next time?"

"After the Chinese New Year." Zhou Yu said: "It is most convenient to go north by boat, but the journey is longer. It takes at least three months to get there, and it takes at least a year to come and go."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Su Wu has spent nineteen years herding sheep in Beihai. If he can find Lianshan and Guizang, it will be worth living in Mobei for ten years."
