Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 855
13 years of Yankang, at the end of the year
Before you know it, it's the end of the year, and the land of Luoyang has long been covered with snow. The crystal clear, snow-white world has a different style, but there are more and more people in the servant's mansion. When compiling the law, Liu Xi completely delegated the power to Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang was not polite. When compiling the relevant laws, he invited the most skilled people in the temple to come.

As a result, the Shizhong Terrace has become a place where hundreds of officials gather and people come and go. Every day, you can see four or five servants standing here respectfully, and some Yilang and the like, What's more, they don't even have the qualifications to enter the palace, so they can only stand in the courtyard. It's not that Zhuge Liang looks down on them, but the waiter's platform is not big, and there is no room for too many people in the house.

Zhuge Liang was sitting on the top seat, stroking his beard, watching the people below who were arguing. Cao Chong was arguing with Fazheng. When the tax law was formulated, the two had some conflicts and disagreements, but the people around them turned a blind eye to their quarrel. After all, they themselves were arguing, and even Sima Yi couldn't help but participate in the debate at this moment.

Sima Yi, who has never been involved in such quarrels, today, for some reason, is extra irritable. He also scolded the servants mercilessly, and couldn't help but fight with each other. No matter what the servants mentioned, Sima Yi always Can find a reason to find fault, but Pu She can't say no to him, so he can only be scolded by him, Zhuge Liang has no choice but to appease these Pu She, and at the same time reprimand Sima Yi, Sima Yi immediately stood aside respectfully, No more words.

The servants hated Sima Yi very much in their hearts. This guy, relying on the advantage of his tongue, insisted on finding fault with them, and scolded them every now and then. He was still Duke Zhuge, and they were all officials from the Eastern Palace. Why is there such a big gap? Woolen cloth?
In the midst of such quarrels, the law gradually took shape.

The well-edited laws of the Han Dynasty are piled up to the height of one person, which shows the hard work of compiling the laws this time. Of course, in Zhuge Liang's view, this law is definitely the law that shocks the past and the present. , There has never been such a comprehensive law. From civil disputes, to taxes, vehicles, and even official school assessments, the transfer of officials, everything is included in the law.

It can be said that everything about the Great Han has been clarified, and there is a complete system, and even the revision of the law by everyone in the future has been compiled into the law by Zhuge Liang, and there is a complete revision system. Today, the only things that have not been fully finalized are the Tax Law and the Farmland Law. In terms of the Farmland Law, the emperor has not yet ordered the implementation of the land equalization system, and everyone does not know how to compile it.

It was busy at night again, everyone left one by one, but Sima Yi stayed.

The two returned to the backyard and entered the study room. These days, everyone in the waiter's desk was very busy, but if it was said that they were the most tiring, they were busy compiling laws during the day, but they were discussing at night. Following the method of equalizing the land, they implemented it separately, and there was almost no time for rest. Sitting in the study, the two of them ate some food and hot tea, and then they started talking.

"How's the matter in the mansion?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Oh, I went to visit Yu Fan, but he didn't want to." Sima Yi shook his head and said, Zhuge Liang frowned, "Is he still dissatisfied with the emperor?"

"That's not true, it's just that he doesn't agree with the land equalization law. According to him, although the land equalization law can prevent the big clan from annexing the common people, it will also hinder the development of farming and mulberry, and will restrain the amount of land owned by the common people. The situation that the great man is thriving, I'm afraid it will end here." Sima Yi said seriously.

"Oh? It turns out that he and Zhong Da have the same ideas."

"I am the only one who obeys Duke Zhuge's order, which is different from him."

"Well, I understand his concerns. However, the Son of Heaven is focused on Juntian, so he can't be easily persuaded. Besides, the issue of annexation is gradually revealed. Zhongda, Ningzhou Xinshe, Emperor Xiaoxian So they sent people to carry out land reclamation, and they got countless good fields, and there are no powerful families in Ningzhou, and the good fields are all in the hands of the people who participated in the reclamation, but this year, less than [-]% of the arable land occupied by the poor people in Ningzhou!"

"How many years have passed, and countless tyrants have appeared in Ningzhou, forcing the people to be displaced and become tenants," Zhuge Liang said seriously.

"What Zhuge Gong said is reasonable." Sima Yi nodded, unwilling to say more.

"Zhongda, I think something is wrong with you today. Is it because of Yanzhou?" Zhuge Liang asked. Just today, Sima Yi was dismissed from the post of Yanzhou Mu. Some said sadly: "I have been governing in Yanzhou for so long, but because I am living with the people, I am said to be negligent in politics, and even the official position has been dismissed."

"Zhongda, how can Your Majesty not know your talent? Your Majesty loves talent, so you can rest assured, as long as the compilation of this law is completed, I will personally play it to the emperor, and I can hand over the position of the servant You," Zhuge Liang said sincerely.

"Mr. Zhuge, I'm not greedy for the official salary, I just feel a little bored. When the law is compiled, I will retire and go home."

"Zhongda! What are you talking about! How can you retire? Listen to me, after the compilation, the position of Shi Zhongling will be entrusted to you, and I will return to my Yuzhou and continue to work on my Yuzhou affairs. "

"Oh, I'm afraid it will be another crime of negligence."

The two talked for a long time before Sima Yi left and walked out of the waiter's platform. The sadness on his face gradually dissipated. He can handle the matter of land equalization, but he will never participate in the decision of land equalization. The matter is over. , I have the credit, and the defeat is also Zhuge Liang's business. It has nothing to do with me. I am just an errand runner. Please trouble Mrs. Zhuge.

This villager is also cunning, wanting to hand over the position of Shi Zhongling to himself?

The emperor dismissed his official position in Yanzhou, obviously he wanted to keep himself in the temple, Sanling, you have to give me the position of Shizhongling, hahaha, villager Zhuge, it is easy to calculate, Shizhongling Leave it to me, you will be the minister, hehe.

Sima Yi lowered his head, his face was gloomy and uncertain, and suddenly he stopped, as if something was wrong.

His body didn't move, but his head slowly looked back, forming a strange arc.

At the far door, Zhuge Liang held a lantern, smiled, and watched him go.

The two looked at each other like this, just like the two looked at each other at the gate of the East Palace 20 years ago. After many years, Zhuge Liang laughed, and he nodded towards Sima Yi. The corners of their mouths curled up, revealing an even weirder smile, the two of them knew each other well.

Are you trying to compete with me for the position of Shang Shuling?

Villager, with me here, how can you be the head of the officials?

Watching Sima Yi disappear into the night, Zhuge Liang stood still, looking at the bottomless darkness in front of him. Now, he is in the light, bearing all the pressure. If he succeeded on his own body, he would not have any credit for it. He has already reached the position of the third order, and there is no room for improvement.

But Sima Yi was in the dark, and he fell in love with Shang Shutai. These days, he had quarreled with several servants over the matter of compiling the law. It was completely different from Sima Yi who was always unwilling to make enemies. , suddenly quarreled with these servants, and almost made a move, arousing the hostility of everyone, but in order to let the law be implemented smoothly, he could only appease these people, but the relationship became closer.

Good plan, Zhong Da, Gao Ming, does the Son of Heaven like a Shang Shu Ling who is close to the officials, or does he need a Shang Shu Ling who is at odds with the officials?
However, my lifelong ambition requires the position of Shangshuling. If I want to assist the emperor and create a prosperous world through the ages, the position of Shangshuling must be my own. Zhongda acts ruthlessly. If he comes to serve as Shangshuling, I am afraid That's not right, since that's the case, Zhong Da, the head of the hundred officials, let me sit.

Zhuge Liang was busy for a while, then returned to his mansion.

There was a servant waiting at the door. Zhuge Liang came back very late these days. The servant greeted him and walked into the mansion. Zhuge Liang went to the backyard, but Princess Raoyang was already asleep. Zhuge Liang did not disturb her. He still had some things to do Before he finished, he went to the study, the servant lit a candle, and he stood not far away, respectfully.

"Staff Zhang"

"Mr. Zhuge." The person in the study was the steward of Zhuge's mansion. Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, he hurried forward. The pen in Zhuge Liang's hand did not stop, and he continued to write, but he himself asked : "Today's Dibao, have you ever read it?"

"I've already read it, I'll get a copy for Duke Zhuge?"

"Oh, no need, tell me, what's the news?"

"No big deal, just the transfer of ministers."

"Well, I know this. By the way, who went to Yanzhou?" Zhuge Liang wrote his own content, and then continued to ask. Zhang Guanshi admired him very much. Being able to chat with him, this ability is not a loss to the son-in-law of Emperor Xiaokang, and the steward said quickly: "It is the servant of the Jifu who shot Yuan Xi, and he was sent to Yanzhou."

"Him?" Zhuge Liang was taken aback, stopped the pen in his hand, and then continued to write. Although this person has no talent, Sima Yi has already laid the foundation for Yanzhou. This person is obedient and will not treat Yanzhou. If there is a big change in strategy, let it take its course, and the governance of Yanzhou is not a problem. He nodded and asked, "Who succeeded Yuan Xi?"

"I heard it's a prefect of Liangzhou, what's his name, by the way, it's called Zhong Changtong!"

"Wow~~", Zhuge Liang's pen trembled, and he destroyed all the content he had just written. Zhang Guanshi was shocked, but Zhuge Liang was even more surprised than him. He frowned and asked, "Who are you talking about?" Served as a servant of the sacrificial palace???"

"Zhong Changtong, that's right, that's the name, Zhong Changtong."

"Zhong Changtong came to serve as the servant of the sacrificial mansion??? Is Sun Quan crazy??" Zhuge Liang's eyes widened, "Or the death of the Taiwei Gong caused him too much blow??"

Alas, poor man.
