I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 354 Zhuge Liang: The general is truly a god!

In the third year of Yanxi's reign, on July 26, the weather was sunny, windless and cloudless.

"Prime Minister, we have arrived in Chang'an."

Fei Yi's voice came from outside.

"Okay." A weak but excited voice came from the car, "Help me get out."

Jiang Wei on the side immediately strode over, carefully opened the car curtain, and personally helped Zhuge Liang up.

After experiencing this serious illness, Zhuge Liang's body became even weaker, as weak as a piece of paper.

But unlike in the past, his face was filled with joy and his eyes were filled with light.

Standing in front of the dilapidated Chang'an City, looking up at the word "Chang'an" at the top of the city, an indescribable emotion surged into my heart.

He suddenly remembered that when he first met Liu Bei, the two had a long conversation by candlelight.

But Fei Yi said: "I'm afraid it's difficult to adjust Zhibaician. If one dollar can be used as a hundred coins, even if the imperial court strictly prohibits its abolition, people will still use it."

Zhuge Liang strode into Chang'an.

"1. Statistics on household registration in Guanzhong and Longyou, as well as the number of existing fertile fields and the situation of the people. Be sure to find out clearly."

He walked slowly, even with difficulty, but he was very happy and always had a smile on his face.

"No, no, I want to walk in." Zhuge Liang said, "We walked from Chengdu to Guanzhong for more than ten years, and finally arrived in Chang'an. Today I want to walk in."

After walking a certain distance, Fei Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Chang'an is in ruins!"

For a moment, Zhuge Liang's eyes were a little moist.

Yang Yi sighed and said: "In the past, there was Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and Li Jue and Guo Si caused trouble in Chang'an, and the people were displaced. Later, Guanzhong became the front line for a long time."

Returning to the past has been his lifelong wish.

"3. In the past few years, our money flowed into Guanzhong, which caused an undeniable blow to the people's livelihood in Guanzhong. There is a problem with our money. Therefore, we have to re-cast coins. When I corresponded with Ji'an about this, It has also been mentioned many times that Jian also put forward his suggestions to change the coin into a text, improve the straight hundred coins, and adjust the coins. "

"2. Land equalization and peace of the people. The land will be redistributed according to the household registration and the number of fertile fields. All people who are still in Guanzhong will receive land in accordance with the land equalization law, with each household having one hundred acres. Those who are not in Guanzhong but are willing to come to Guanzhong, You can also get it.”

Yang Yi asked: "Prime Minister, what should we do next?"

After all, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chang'an was the capital of Xijing and its companion capital.

"Prime Minister, why don't you get on the carriage?"

"By doing these three things, people's livelihood in Guanzhong and Longyou can be restored."

"Prime Minister, I will help you in." Jiang Wei said.

"There are three things we have to do."

"Come on, let's go into the city."

Even so, Zhuge Liang was equally pleased when he saw Chang'an in front of him.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, we are here now to let the people's livelihood in Guanzhong slowly recover."

It's just that it was all in Luoyang, not Chang'an.

"There is no rush for the coin. Ji'an once mentioned a method. I still need to discuss it with him in detail before making a conclusion." Zhuge Liang said, "But the coin must be changed now."

For a moment, everyone couldn't figure out how to change the money now.

If we forcibly restore the Han Dynasty's five baht, we will be waiting to be cut off by Cao Wei and Sun Wu.

After all, both Cao Wei and Sun Wu are now casting hundreds of coins.

It is one of the vicious economic laws that bad money drives out good money.

"Mr. Wei, come and do the household registration statistics."

"Here."

"Wen Wei."

"The subordinate is here."

"You first open a Chang'an newspaper office in Chang'an, gather the literate people in Chang'an, and inform them that the imperial court will implement land equalization in Guanzhong. Those who do not have land should register at the Chang'an County Government Office."

"Here."

"Boyo."

"The general is here!"

"You lead 10,000 troops to station in Zheng County, build a walled city near Zheng County, and build a ferry on the bank of the Wei River."

"Here!"

Zhuge Liang sighed again and said: "I don't know what the situation is in Jingzhou. Sima Yi withdrew the main force in Guanzhong and went all out to deal with Ji'an. I am very worried about him now. After all, the Jingzhou soldiers have limited experience in wars and training time." "Ji'an." He shouldn't be so trusting!" Yang Yi started to complain again, "If he is like this, Sima Yi will transfer all the main forces, and Jingzhou will probably be saved!"

Fei Yi and Jiang Wei looked at each other, and both saw sadness in their eyes.

Meng Yan and Ma Dai also sighed.

Yang Yi continued: "Ji'an does have some talents, but he is still too young. This young man is easy to be arrogant. Jingzhou..."

Zhuge Liang interrupted Yang Yi and said, "It doesn't matter. Even if Jingzhou is lost and we get back Guanzhong, Ji'an will be the one who deserves the greatest credit. I'm just worried about his safety..."

As soon as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Report! Prime Minister, urgent report from Jingzhou!"

Everyone was stunned, and Zhuge Liang said: "Quick! Come in!"

The person outside hurriedly came in, it was Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi had one hand still bandaged, so he came in hurriedly.

"Prime Minister, he is the general..."

Zhuge Liang took the letter and quickly read it. After reading a few lines, his hands began to tremble with excitement.

"Ji'an returned to Xiangyang. Our army did not suffer much losses. The main force of the Wei army has retreated, and the rest have built a defense line in Nanyang."

As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, everyone was shocked, and then they were overjoyed.

"Okay! There really is that kid!" Jiang Wei couldn't help laughing, but then he realized that he seemed to have overstepped his bounds, and immediately changed his mind, "The general is really a god!"

The more Zhuge Liang read this report, the more surprised and happy he became.

"Ji'an actually crossed the Yellow River four times and fought all the way to the vicinity of Yecheng!" Zhuge Liang said again in surprise.

"Yecheng!" Yang Yi said immediately, "Did I write it wrong? Yecheng is in Jizhou!"

"That's right. He crossed the Yellow River four times, led the Wei army by the nose, and then went south to Yuzhou. Guess what he did in Yuzhou!"

At this point, Zhuge Liang was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

"He is attacking the city in Yuzhou?"

"No, no, he did two things in Yuzhou. One was to open warehouses to release grain, and the other was to block various rivers."

"Why is he doing this?" Yang Yi asked doubtfully, "Why not take advantage of the opportunity to attack more cities and demolish fortresses?"

"Opening warehouses to release grain is to tell the people of the Central Plains that the imperial court is the king's master and win the hearts of the people. Blocking the rivers is cutting off the water transportation of grain to Luoyang."

The more Zhuge Liang watched, the more satisfied he became. This was like beating a snake to the ground.

He said: "Next, Sima Yi will not only not attack Jingzhou, but he will also be worried internally."

"Then should we take the opportunity to continue attacking Wei?"

"No, no, we also need to rest. The Wu army besieged Jiangling. I'm afraid Sun Quan's relationship with us will change next."

Having said this, Zhuge Liang started walking back and forth excitedly, and it seemed that his illness was much better.

This was something he never expected.

Going deep into the Central Plains, forcing Sima Yi to mobilize his main force.

This is simply an attempt to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao across thousands of miles!

Finally, I was able to escape unscathed.

"Everyone go and get busy."

"Then Prime Minister..."

"Me?" Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and laughed, "I'll have a good rest. I want to see Ji'an after he finishes handling the affairs of Jingzhou."

After finishing speaking, Zhuge Liang seemed to think of something again and said, "How about the increase in the population in the past few years?"

Fei Yi said: "In several counties in Weinan, the population has almost doubled. In the past, a family had four or five children, and it was good to have two alive. Since the popularization of the Quyuan plow, the cultivated land has increased, and the grain production has increased. , four or five, three or four can survive.”

After a pause, Fei Yi emphasized: "Equalizing land is also one aspect."

"Okay, since Quyuanli and Equalizing Fields can increase the number of people, it's great. What we need most now is people."

"Yes! When the Wei army withdrew from Guanzhong, they took all the people with them."

"It doesn't matter, we are not without people. We are implementing benevolent governance in Guanzhong. I believe that it won't be long before the people come back."

"By the way, Prime Minister, do you have any instructions for me to handle matters in Jingzhou?" Yang Yi took the opportunity to ask. He was full of jealousy of Li Heng's performance in Jingzhou.

How could that kid settle all those things?
Is there any false concealment?

I have to find an opportunity to catch him!
"No, Ji'an is the shepherd of Jingzhou, just leave everything to him."
