Agents of the Three Kingdoms

State Shepherd's Mansion, Study Room.

Wang Lei summoned all the officials under his command, including Xun Chen who had returned from Chang'an, and all of them were present.

Looking at the people present, Wang Lei coughed twice. In an instant, the room became quiet, and Wang Lei said in a nonchalant way: "I have invited you here today to adjust the focus of work in Jizhou. The war has come to an end for the time being, and we will strengthen it next." While increasing the strength of the army, the focus is more on resuming production and appeasing the people. If you have any suggestions, please speak freely."

Du Ji has followed Wang Lei for the longest time and knows Wang Lei's character best.Without any hesitation, Du Ji said: "My lord has just taken charge of Jizhou, and the people don't know me well. In order to make the people appreciate my lord, I propose to reduce taxes. In this way, the people must be grateful to my lord."

Wang Lei nodded slightly, agreeing with Du Ji's statement.

This is a means often used by those in power to appease the people and win the hearts of the people.

Now that he has just taken office, he can take measures to reduce taxes.

Tian Feng looked calm, and said in a deep voice: "Reducing taxes will help the people to a certain extent, but reducing taxes is not enough to enrich the granary. The best way is to farm the fields and combine the people and soldiers to maximize the enrichment granary."

Wang Lei thought for a while, and replied: "Winter is coming to spring, and it is almost time for spring plowing. The matter of farming can just be put on the agenda. Since Mr. Tian has an idea, Mr. Tian will take charge of the matter of farming, draft a charter, and then discuss it carefully. A discussion."

"As ordered!"

Tian Feng responded excitedly, and Tuntian will play an inestimable role in the development of Jizhou.

There are thousands of miles of fertile fields in Jizhou. If you use it a little, you will surely get a bumper harvest.

Xun Chen dusted off his wrinkled robe, and continued: "My lord, to increase the influence of Jizhou, one of the things is for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. In addition to having enough food and clothing, you also need to have a brilliant writing style, in order to greatly develop Jizhou."

Wang Lei instantly became interested and asked, "Mr. You Ruo mean to build an academy in Ye County?"

Wang Lei is very interested in building an academy.

There are two most famous academies in the Three Kingdoms, one is Yingchuan Academy, which produced Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Xun Yu and others, forming a think tank group under Cao Cao; the other is Lumen Academy, which produced Xu Shu , Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang and others formed a think tank group under Liu Bei's command.

It is also good that Jizhou can build an academy.

Xun Chen shook his head and said: "My lord, the rise of an academy cannot be completed in a year or two. Famous teachers are one of the reasons for recruiting young talents. The deeper reason is that the disciples taught can be famous all over the world, and only then can the academy be further improved. Your Excellency wants to build an academy, but now it is very difficult, even if it is completed, not many great Confucian scholars will come to Jizhou. If I remember correctly, Your Excellency has good handwriting, this is what the Lord should use."

"Oh, Mr. Youruo knows my words?"

Wang Lei blinked, it seems that his words have not been handed down!

Xun Chen's eyes were extremely excited, and he said with admiration: "Hanzhou Mu likes calligraphy, everyone knows it, he read the master's handwriting, how could he not publicize it? The master's handwriting has created a trend for a while, and it can call on people who love calligraphy all over the world. Observe and learn. From point to surface, through calligraphy, gradually make Jizhou an academic holy place."

Wang Lei nodded again and again, agreeing with Xun Chen's statement. I have to say that Xun Chen's suggestion is very good.

It is too difficult to build an academy directly!

The only way is to build Jizhou's academic status step by step.

Wang Lei was overjoyed, and ordered: "Mr. You Ruo was born in Yingchuan, and your family has a long history. You are the best in academics. This matter will be handled by Mr. You Ruo."

"Yes!"

Xun Chen nodded and sat down.

Jushou changed the subject and said: "My lord, it takes a certain amount of time to prepare for farming and gathering talents. Jizhou is initially set up, and the humble job proposes to promulgate a "seeking talent order" to call on talents from all over the world to come to Jizhou. My lord wants to achieve great things, only With the recruitment of talents, the foundation of Jizhou will become stronger."

Wang Lei said: "Issuing a talent-seeking order is a good suggestion, but it must be strictly checked. Mr. Ju must take care of this situation. Please also prepare a charter for Mr. Ju. After I read it, I will try it out for a while."

"Follow your orders!"

Ju Shou responded, thinking about how to perfect the Order of Seeking Talents?

The examiner looked cold and serious, and said: "My lord, what you all mentioned are all good things for development. I am a fool in a humble position, and I can't think of subtle ideas, so I can only give some suggestions to prevent erroneous things. Jizhou is initially set, I am worried that some officials will fall To enter the gentle country, therefore, we must sound the alarm to the officials to prevent the erroneous things from happening, and we have to start from the beginning."

Wang Leixin said that the trial match is indeed a person who acts upright, and it is the material for punishing corrupt officials.

As soon as you open your mouth, you must deal with corrupt officials.

Wang Lei smiled and said: "Mr. Shen's suggestion is very important. Integrity in the officialdom is the foundation of Jizhou's development. Once the foundation is broken, it is impossible to develop again. Mr. Shen has prepared a charter and is ready to implement it."

"As ordered!"

Under review, carefully consider your own suggestions.

Zhen Yan glanced at the people present and said, "For the development of Jizhou, I think business is also essential."

When speaking, Zhen Yan lacked confidence.Compared with the officials present here, Zhen Yan does not have a prominent family background, does not have enough reputation, and even he is just a businessman.In this era of scholars, farmers, industry, and merchants, the status of merchants was low, so Zhen Yan was very disturbed, worried that his proposal would be refuted as soon as it came out.

In fact, it is true.

The examiner looked sternly, and said mercilessly: "Merchants act regardless of the consequences. My lord, merchants are good at making profits. Once merchants gather in Jizhou, officials are more likely to have problems. Please strictly control them, my lord!"

Tian Feng suggested: "Businessmen should be encouraged to engage in business, but must be strictly controlled."

Zhen Pei and Tian Feng objected, Zhen Yan's heart sank immediately.

Wang Lei glanced at the nervous Zhen Yan, and said: "Mr. Shen, Mr. Tian, ​​merchants seek money, and scholars seek fame. In the final analysis, they are all seeking benefits. Some merchants worry about the country and the people, and scholars have corrupt officials. You can’t overturn a boat with one pole. If Jizhou is to be prosperous and prosperous, merchants are indispensable. We can choose a city at will, and if the city is thriving, business will surely prosper. Conversely, where merchants don’t go, I’m afraid the people’s lives will be poor. not good."

The simple reason is that if the judge and Tianfeng don't say anything, it doesn't mean they agree.

Wang Lei looked at Zhen Yan, and said encouragingly: "Do it boldly, don't have any scruples."

The judge frowned and said, "My lord..."

Wang Lei looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shen, the official stand is firm, so why are you afraid of temptation? A businessman is not a scourge, so there is no need to be afraid." In a word, the judge will not say more.Next, we discussed the rest of the matters, all related to Jizhou, which lasted from early morning to evening.

Wang Lei breathed a sigh of relief when things were arranged properly.
