three kings

Chapter 377

Sun Can didn't think as much as Liu Hua. Seeing that the five most talented counselors under his command all agreed with Zhuge Liang's opinion, and he himself was also full of confidence in Zhuge Liang, he nodded and said: "Kong Ming's method sounds promising. Sure. What’s the explanation for the two words “Guan” and “Technique?”

Seeing that his opinion was recognized, Zhuge Liang showed a cheerful expression on his face, and continued: "Irrigation refers to irrigating the fields and building canals. Food is the symbol of a strong country. Only with food can we support an army; with food, we can conquer all places. Only food can make people live and work in peace and contentment, especially in troubled times. Food is extremely precious. If it is not necessary, the princes will never let too much food flow out. Therefore, if a princely country cannot be self-sufficient, then this princely country will always be under the control of other countries. Containment. I think the richness of the lord's territory is far above that of other princes, and self-sufficiency is not a problem, but all this is because the lord occupies the treasure land and fortune. In other words, the lord can do better, but he doesn't go Do."

How can Sun Can not know the importance of food, and he also attaches great importance to farming, and the policy for farmers is also very in place, without any slack. Therefore, the farmers under his jurisdiction should be the happiest, and the harvest is also very good. It can be seen that if it were not for years of wars, there would be no food shortage at all. I was a little unhappy about Zhuge Liang's accusation, and said in a deep voice: "Is there something wrong with our army's system?"

Zhuge Liang said: "No! The policy promulgated by the lord, in the whole world, no prince can compare with it. Especially Mr. Wen Ruo's farming system is beyond the reach of his subordinates, so how dare he comment.

The subordinate just came to the army and didn't know anything about the big and small things in the army, but he can tell that the Lord's annual grain production has a relatively large fluctuation, and the grain tax is the same. "

Sun Can found the records of recent years on the case table, looked it up, and found that the results were almost as Zhuge Liang expected. Sometimes the income was very considerable, and sometimes it was not as expected. He asked strangely, "How could this be?"

Xun Yu explained: "The weather is unpredictable, and the weather will directly affect the grain harvest. In recent years, our army has not encountered major disasters, but there are still some minor disasters. For example, the Huai River burst two years ago. Within a few days, almost all the thousand hectares of farmland on both sides of the Huaihe River were submerged, even though Yuan Tan rescued them in time and saved a lot of losses, it also reduced Huainan's annual grain production by half compared to previous years."

Sun Can couldn't help being surprised by Zhuge Liang's judgment, and said to him: "This is God's will, what can I do for it! Although I believe that man will conquer nature, natural disasters are unpredictable, and some losses are inevitable."

"That's true!" Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement with Sun Can's point of view, but then he said: "But we can prevent it and make preparations in advance. Do you know that the land under your command has a common feature?"

"Water?" Sun Can asked?

"That's right!" Zhuge Liang said resolutely: "It's water. My lord's main source of income begins in the Central Plains, but the source of food is in the south. Mainly in Huainan, Jingbei and both sides of the Yangtze River, and now we have to count Jiangdong. It is a treasure land of fertile land thousands of miles away. There are large and small rivers irrigated everywhere, so there will be no shortage of water. Therefore, these places have not had a record of drought for hundreds of years, and the only worry is flooding. If the rivers in these places can be restored Clean up, cut off unnecessary rivers, and introduce them into areas that need irrigation. In addition, we can build dams on some rivers that often suffer from floods, dig tributaries, and lead to places that need water. This will not only help reduce the occurrence of floods, It can also irrigate all places, turning the wilderness into fertile soil, and we can also grow food on this fertile soil. Even if we don’t plant it, the fertile soil will be covered with grass in a few years, which can be used for our army’s war horses. A dozen of expenses."

"Stingy, stingy!" These four words appeared in Sun Can's mind. Even these trivial things were calculated, he really didn't know what words to use to describe Zhuge Liang, let's just say he was honest.

"I'm sure of this suggestion. It's a matter that will benefit the court and benefit the future. It really cannot be ignored!" Sun Can analyzed the meeting, asked everyone, and agreed unanimously.

"There is still the last technique, Kong Ming, tell me quickly." Zhuge Liang's first two proposals are aimed at the shortcomings of the army, which are very important factors for Sun Canjun's future development, and he is full of expectations for the third one. .

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "This technology is technology, and it also refers to skills. Every place has its own customs and characteristics, and the big ones have south boats and north horses. The reason is that the climate in the south is humid, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, and the river network is densely covered. The northern part is arid and the grasslands are widely spread. The horses have good endurance and fast speed and are domesticated by the northern people as a means of transportation. These are the characteristics of the south and the north. Small places also have the characteristics of small places. For example: oil The fruits of Guiyang, the cotton of Xinye, etc. are all local characteristics. If the master strengthens the development of these characteristics, the results will definitely be better than letting them cultivate at will. Manpower is limited, but experience and technology are priceless, and we should pay attention to the development of characteristics , It will be beneficial to our army but not harmful."

Sun Can laughed loudly after hearing this, "Kong Ming's golden and jade words, every word is precious, he is really a rare genius, Xiao He deserves it."

Sun Can praised Zhuge Liang, and then said solemnly: "The three points Kong Ming mentioned for our army today can be regarded as an economic reform for our army. The key to success or failure is related to the future economic development of our army. Therefore, this For a difficult task of the executor, only success is allowed, and no failure is allowed. All of you here are Sun’s confidantes, and if there is a suitable candidate, no matter what the position of the other party is, you can recommend it.”

Liu Hua came out of the class and said: "Chan'er, Yafu recommends a person to you. This person is loyal and upright, and he is not self-serving. With strict views and fears, he is the best choice to promote the Salt Law."

Sun Can said with a smile: "The person recommended by Yafu is Zhang Zigang, a famous scholar in Jiangdong? I also thought he was the best candidate before, but the salt law is very important, and it is related to most of our army's tax revenue. Zhang Hong is very important to Sun Ce. Loyal, if not for family reasons, this person may not join our army, whether he is loyal or not is doubtful, so I hesitate a bit."

Liu Hua shook his head and said: "Zhang Zigang is known as a man, and in his position, he will not have two minds when he seeks his affairs. Even if he is dissatisfied with Can'er, he will not do anything to damage his reputation, let alone Zhang Zigang He is definitely not a villain who cares about every detail. Can'er's use of him is a sign of trust in him, and he will not let go of this trust."

At this time, Guo Jia also stood up and recommended a person to Sun Can. This person's surname was Zhuge, and his name was Jin. Guo Jia met in the prisoner camp when he followed Sun Cannan to establish Dongwu. Talented people are the best candidates for water control and drainage.

When talking about Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang's face burst into excitement, and everyone knew that Zhuge Jin was Zhuge Liang's brother. Of course, this crowd did not include Liu Hua.

Without hesitation, Sun Can directly summoned Zhang Hong and Zhuge Jin, and explained the tasks to them in detail. At the same time, he also ordered the various state governments to encourage the people to produce regional characteristics.

Zhang Hong and Zhuge Jin were originally Sun Ce's people, and they were new ministers. Sun Can ignored the past and made great use of them. They all expressed their loyalty and promised to complete the task.

Afterwards, everyone discussed some unimportant government affairs and military affairs. It is worth mentioning that Zhuge Liang has amazing knowledge in both military and government affairs. Ten examples can be cited to prove that Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others are impressed.

Obviously, Zhuge Liang's talent has been recognized by everyone.

Sun Can was also very happy. Today's goal was not only achieved, but also with the help of the five confidants in the hall, he dealt with all the remaining things, and discovered the shortcomings of his own army, which made the army's policy even stronger. perfection.

However, the most important thing is Zhuge Liang's outstanding performance. Being able to perform so well in front of Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and other people with more brains than others is enough to show that he is not a boastful incompetent, but a real man. Talented people.

Then, a trouble followed, which gave Sun Can a headache.

Logically speaking, Sun Can has a huge lineup of Liu Hua, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Zhuge Liang, and nothing in the world can be difficult for him, but this incident just happened.

The culprits of this matter are Liu Hua and Xun Yu.

Xun Yu said: "Mr. Zhuge possesses the talent for governing the world, so he should be entrusted with a heavy responsibility. He can be made a doctor of the Taizhong and assist the lord together with the humble minister."

The Taizhong doctor ranks more than a thousand stones, and his official rank is very high. He mainly deals with government affairs, but he is not under the control of Xun Yu, and only obeys the orders of Sun Can.

Xun Yu's move undoubtedly put down the position of the head of his ministers and placed Zhuge Liang on an equal footing.

Zhuge Liang was about to refuse, when he heard Liu Hua say: "That's impossible, Kong Ming is proficient in military strategy and strategy, and is especially good at running an army. How can he be reasonable in literary affairs..." Originally, Liu Hua also wanted to make peace with Zhuge Liang, a famous man who has been passed down through the ages. They were on equal footing, but in the end they changed their minds.His identity is Sun Can's father, and his status is higher than Sun Can's. Sun Can usually pays respects to him when he sees him, not to mention Xun Yu, Guo Jia and other courtiers.If Zhuge Liang and Liu Huaping were on equal footing, it would not be a mess, so he changed his words: "The main purpose is to assist the old man and train soldiers."

Xun Yu disagreed. He didn't know Zhuge Liang's ability to govern the army, but his ability to govern the world could not be faked by what he saw with his own eyes. He immediately retorted: "The three policies proposed by Mr. Zhuge will have an impact on our army in the future. It is huge, and no mistakes can be made. The policy is proposed by him, and he personally supervises it, so it will get twice the result with half the effort."

Liu Hua didn't want to give up either, and said in a deep voice, "Our generals are brave and famous all over the world. They charge into battle, and it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to fight. They fight each other and are taken advantage of by others. Therefore, I need the millions of armored soldiers in Kong Ming's chest. In terms of formation, no one in the world can compare with Kong Ming. Let me ask you, wherever our army goes in the future, who can contend with it."

Xun Yu didn't believe Liu Hua's "exaggerated words", and once again asked Zhuge Liang to take up literary affairs.

At the same time, Liu Hua did not let go.

One person and one word sparked an argument in the classroom.

Zhuge Liang, who has no reputation so far, has suddenly become a hot commodity. (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please visit www.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
