Chapter 911
After Yuan Yao arrived outside the Great Wall, everything was different again. Yuan Yao personally went to various places, severely punished the officials who did not act and neglected political affairs, and at the same time promoted some hardworking and enterprising talents. After visiting many areas, in order to dispel the fear of the migrants in these areas, he also personally promoted the three elders who were born as migrants, and most of the lowest-level officials such as the Lijianmen were local residents.

He supported the official schools here a lot, and even went to the field himself to tell many methods of farming. It can be said that after arriving here for two full months, he never took a day off. Maybe he is not as good as Zhuge Linggong. He has such talent, but he is younger than Zhuge Linggong, and he can stand up to it. After two months of such busy work, the administration of officials outside the Great Wall has taken on a new look.

He is very gentle towards the people here on weekdays, and he asked the officials not to reprimand them for no reason. When it was brought to these people's homes, those eyes full of hatred dissipated a lot, but there were still quite a few suspicious eyes.

These people give us food, do they want us to work?
Afterwards, Yuan Yao recruited a group of doctors to heal those injured for free, and ordered the Yuan family to send a batch of cotton clothes to keep out the cold, and gave them to the people here. It is a very dangerous thing to carry out such a blatant act of buying people's hearts. If it is not done well, it will arouse the suspicion of the temple, but neither Yuan Shang nor Yuan Xi has ever objected to his behavior.

In the autumn of the 21st year of Jianning, the first batch of food finally grew outside the Great Wall. Seeing the joyful appearance of the people, Yuan Yao took them and held a lively party. Everyone ate meat together. These people came from all corners of the country, some from overseas, some from the local area, some from Guishuang, and some prisoners from the Central Plains. All kinds of people were tightly gathered together by Yuan Yao.

Seeing their various dances and listening to various songs, Yuan Yao finally showed a knowing smile.

There was even a case of people from outside the Great Wall coming to live in on their own initiative. For the first batch of people who came to live in, Yuan Yao also showed the highest kindness, giving food, and clothes to keep out the cold. It was a thousand dollars to buy horse bones. .

After returning to the humble study, Yuan Yao wrote his own family letter, which he wrote every month.

"Yao asked if my mother is alright? After my elder brother sent me off, I have been here for more than three months. After my son's busy three months, the people outside the Great Wall are happy and happy. Although they are not rich, they are No one died of freezing, no one starved to death, and they are not as hostile to the officials as before. Four days ago, some people gave me a sheep. I couldn't refuse, so I invited this The householders came to the county government office, and everyone ate together."

"My child misses my mother very much. In these years, whether overseas or outside the Great Wall, I have never disobeyed my father's teachings. I have never been afraid, and I have kind thoughts in my heart. I have helped everyone in need. I have never Even if he bullies anyone, he is upright and fair, and he never treats others differently, but the child failed to complete the task of taking good care of his mother that my father told me."

"Please forgive me for being unfilial, I can't accompany my mother. I am busy with the things here. When the outside of the Great Wall is a little more stable, I will go to see my mother immediately. Please don't worry about my mother. My child dare not shame my father. .”

August of the same year

Two dragons came out of Yingchuan well, and two yellow dragons flew away. After a while, the sky was dark and the earth was dark.

Just when Zhuge Liang was sitting in the study, busy with important matters, suddenly someone said something, a visitor came to visit, Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, he didn't really want to receive guests, the emperor insisted on conquering Guishuang, Zhuge Liang set his sights on the land of Liangxi in the northwest. Of course, Liangzhou has now been divided into Liangzhou and Yongzhou. As for Xizhou, it has been divided into Xitingzhou and Yongzhou. There are four states.

Zhuge Liang wanted to overhaul water conservancy in these areas so that these areas could have sufficient food reserves to deal with wars, and he also wanted to build overhauled roads here to ensure that all kinds of materials could be transported to the battlefield.

He even exempted the corvee in these areas in recent years, and the large-scale construction also used the people in other areas. This is because, after a year, these people may have to serve a long period of corvee. It is a time of rest for them.

That is to say, Zhuge Liang, if it were another person, in the face of the various policies being implemented in the country and the preparations for the war, the pressure of the war could not be spread evenly among the northwestern states. However, during these days, Zhuge Liang was still able to handle affairs in various places in an orderly manner. He also promoted a large number of officials and went to the outside of the Great Wall and the Northwest region respectively.

He intervened in the transfer of officials so much that the officials in the temple were a little dissatisfied. The emperor also heard a lot of rumors about Zhuge Liang. Everyone called these young capable officials promoted by Zhuge Liang the "Shangshu School". It is provoking the relationship between the emperor and Shang Shuling, but the emperor's trust in Zhuge Liang has never been lowered. What is surprising is that even the prince has repeatedly declared his support for Zhuge Linggong.

Everyone didn't know what kind of medicine Zhuge Liang gave the prince to make the prince admire him so much. However, this made Zhuge Liang's position even stronger, and no one dared to speak ill of him to the emperor.

Zhuge Liang frowned and asked, "Who is here?"

"The person who came claimed to be the son of Duke Xun Ling, Xun Shen."

"Him?? Let him in!", Zhuge Liang thought of something, and hurriedly said, he frowned, hoping that he was wrong. Xun Shen soon walked into the study, his eyes were red and swollen, obviously crying After a long time, he bowed himself, "Mr. Zhuge Ling, my father asked me to come, I hope Mr. Zhuge Ling can go with me to the mansion." Zhuge Liang glanced at him, without any nonsense, put down the pen in his hand, Get up and go out with him.

The servants quickly prepared their chariots and horses. Zhuge Liang took Xun Shen into the carriage together and drove towards Xun Mansion. Zhuge Liang looked at Xun Shen who was weeping in front of him, and was silent for a long time before asking: "Mr. What's the matter?"

"Father coughed all night. His forehead was hot again, and he was unconscious. The doctor said he was prepared for the future." As Xun Shen spoke, tears kept dripping down. Zhuge Liang pursed his lips and said nothing.

When the carriage arrived at the Xun Mansion, most of the servants here were also uneasy and didn't know what they were talking about. Xun Shen took Zhuge Liang into the inner room in a hurry. Xun Linggong was lying on the sickbed, surrounded by a group of doctors who were in a hurry. Xun Linggong seemed helpless, Xun Yu hurried forward, held Xun Yu's hand, and shouted, "Father, Father Zhuge Linggong is here, open your eyes and see!"

"The boy called him!"

Following Xun Shen's call, the old man slowly opened his eyes. He turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang hurried forward and asked worriedly, "Mr. Ling, how is your health? I have sent someone to Looking for a famous doctor."

Xun Yu said nothing, just smiled, looked at Zhuge Liang in front of him, "Kong Ming!"

"I'm here."

"How is the situation of the big man, can there be a big disaster?"

"Reporting to your lord, the Han Dynasty is all flat, and there has never been any disaster. This year's cultivated land has tripled compared to last year. The temple treasury is full this time, and the harvested grain is nearly 20 billion shi... I promoted it myself. I recruited some capable ministers and built four canals in Jingzhou, and I plan to complete the canals built by Cao Situ in the past, and develop water conservancy in the surrounding areas, which is conducive to the development of local agriculture and mulberry.”

Zhuge Liang talked about the situation of the big man, some were right, some were false, "There is civil strife in Guishuang, and their king wants to surrender, so he sent a messenger. I am persuading the emperor to support this man It’s true that the crown prince has a filial piety, and the people respect and love him. I have sent Yuan Yao to go outside the Great Wall. Yuan Yao has done a good job and is already self-sufficient this year.”

The old man's face was full of smiles. He listened to Zhuge Liang's narration, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

"Okay, that's good"

"Big man. Don't take it if I leave it to you"

A tear fell from the corner of the old man's eyes, but he still couldn't finish his instruction. Gradually, he stopped moving, but his face was full of smiles. Xun Xu wailed and knelt on the ground, crying heartbreakingly. Cracking lungs, Zhuge Liang looked at the dead Xun Linggong dully, and said slowly:
"Young students will definitely live up to your order."

When Zhuge Liang walked out of the inner room, there was lightning and thunder in the sky, as if there was a giant dragon hovering in the air, black and dark clouds, followed by heavy rain, the sound of raindrops intertwined with the crying in the mansion , as if the whole world was crying for the death of a sage, Zhuge Liang stood in the rain, looking up at the sky.

At this moment, maybe, Xun Linggong has been taken to the kingdom of heaven by Huanglong?

What Zhuge Liang was even more worried about was how to tell the emperor about this news. Zhuge Liang knew that the emperor liked and hated Xun Linggong. It is said that the emperor regards Duke Xun Ling as his elder and his reliance. Every time the emperor is uncertain, the first thing he thinks of is this Duke Xun Ling.

Alas, the Son of Heaven's health is also getting worse.

Zhuge Liang shook his head helplessly, and then rushed towards the palace firmly.

"Hahaha, you idiot who is inferior in agricultural science!! Why did you make me wait so long? I have prepared the wine, come with me??"

"it is good."
