After finishing the discussion in the front hall, Yuan Yao went to the back hall to visit Mrs. Lu.
Lu Su was usually busy with government affairs. In order to take care of his grandmother more conveniently, he did not buy a house. Instead, he took his grandmother to live directly in the back hall of the county house.
Seeing that Mrs. Lu's complexion was slightly worse than when she was in Dongcheng, Yuan Yao said a few words of greetings and then told Lu Su that if Mrs. Lu was ill, he must send someone to Nanchang to ask for Zhang Ji or Hua Tuo as soon as possible.
Because the Chaisang County government was old and young, Lu Su could only arrange for Yuan Yao and his party to live in a post station in the city.
After leaving the county gate, Yuan Yao looked at the four characters "Chaisang County Government" with badly painted paint on the plaque, looking thoughtful.
"The son is extremely filial in his respect for his relatives, and extremely honest in his official duties. If such a perfect person is not filial and honest, then the inspection system would really be a joke!"
Zhuge Liang on the side immediately saw Yuan Yao's thoughts.
"Since the young general has the authority to serve as the governor of Yuzhang, he naturally has the right to inspect and appoint officials, so it is natural for him to be a filial and honest person."
If it were before, Zhuge Liang would not have said a word at this time.
Before meeting his ideal master, Zhuge Liang lacked the initiative to make suggestions for anyone else.
Even if that person is his uncle, it is no exception!
Some people are useless even if you give them advice. His weak heart could not accept the reality that he was old but short-sighted.
The more clever your ideas are, the more he will be hurt, and in many cases it will be counterproductive.
And some people, if you give them advice, they may follow your advice, but you don't know what kind of person they will become in the future.
Is he a famous tycoon in troubled times? Or a hero who saves the world?
Before the massacre of Xuzhou, Cao Cao was the much-anticipated pioneer in the fight against Dong; he was the heroic man who defeated millions of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and saved Yanzhou from fire and water. In the eyes of many people, was he the best choice to save the world?
But after that, the reputation of Cao Mengde, who chose the former between filial piety and righteousness, took a turn for the worse.
The world reinterpreted Xu Shao's evaluation of him as "a traitor in peace and a hero in troubled times" and regarded him as Gao Gui.
With Cao Cao's past experience, Zhuge Liang recognized and even appreciated what Yuan Yao did from the bottom of his heart. But without thoroughly understanding Yuan Yao's character and conduct, and understanding his ambitions, Zhuge Liang would never make a bet easily, nor would he fully reveal his astounding wisdom.
At this time, Zhuge Liang had an ulterior motive for saying this.
Yuan Yao couldn't help but be a little surprised to see Zhuge Liang, who had always been like a bead in an abacus, taking the initiative to speak this time.
"What? Little Zhuge, do you also agree with me that I should raise my son as a filial and honest person?"
Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement: "Why not?"
"Right now, Yuzhang County is divided into three, and each county has a population of more than 200,000. According to convention, each county can promote one filial piety officer every year, so there are three quotas."
"After the Major General promoted the magistrate of Lu County to Xiaolian, there are still two Xiaolian quotas left, which can be used to win over the powerful families in Poyang and Luling. It will not be a problem."
Yuan Yao clapped his hands suddenly and shouted: "How could I forget this!"
"Promoting filial piety, integrity and uprightness is an important tool to win over local wealthy families!"
"It's no wonder that when Sun Bofu was in Huainan, he asked my father to be the governor every now and then. It's no wonder that the world is in chaos now, and the governor of a county is like a prince!"
As he said this, Yuan Yao hugged Zhuge Liang into his arms and wanted to kiss him directly, but in the end he held back.
"In this way, I don't have to have such a headache for the time being. I have to think about who should be the governor of Poyang County and Luling County every day to appease those powerful clans!"
"Hey, a county has one filial and honest person every year, plus honest officials, virtuous and upright people, high rankings in literature, outspoken advice, filial brother Li Tian, Ming Jing, Ming Dharma and other subjects, these are completely enough for those powerful clans to To join the ranks of the rich and powerful, but to fight for your scalp and bleed blood."
"General, I will release them all and let them fight hard. It is best to make them bite each other and then wag their tails at me to show their goodwill!"
Yuan Yao shook Zhuge Liang's shoulders crazily, as if he was crazy.
At this time, he seemed to have seen that in the near future, in order to make his family a filial and honest person, those powerful clans were vying to give him money, food, and others to show their loyalty!
"Wonderful! It's really wonderful that Bulbasaur went into Mickey Mouse's Wonderful House while eating the cookies. It's so wonderful!"
The more Yuan Yao thought about it, the more excited he became, and he instantly threw away the troubles that had been bothering him for a long time.
The seven-foot-tall Zhuge Liang looked like a frail boy in the arms of the eight-foot-tall Yuan Yao.
Zhuge Liang was shaken so hard that he felt dizzy. What was wrong with him?
What's there to be excited about?
I'm not done yet!
"Little Zhuge, you are a good reminder! I will remember your great contribution. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?"
Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes, as if he felt that the fire for Yuan Yao was not enough. He coughed twice and said: "I think the young general who should be rewarded now is not me, but someone else."
Yuan Yao: "Are rewards based on merit? I have asked the military merit officers to check the total according to the battle merit book. I will approve it when someone sends the agenda in a few days."
"This surprise attack on Jiangxia, together with the victory over Liu Yao last month, I will reward you with!"
Zhuge Liang shook his head: "No!"
"What the boy said is that in addition to rewards according to merit, two people should be rewarded generously."
"If the Major General can reward the two people I mentioned generously, I guarantee that from now on all the heroes in the world will worship the Major General."
"From now on, when others serve the Major General, they will redouble their efforts and even put their whole heart and soul into it!"
Yuan Yao's eyes instantly turned green like a hungry wolf seeing a fat sheep.
"Xiao Zhuge, who are these two people? How can we reward them generously? A high-ranking official? A generous salary? Or treasures, jade, and silk?"
Seeing Yuan Yao's greedy eyes fully exposed, Zhuge Liang thought he had grasped Yuan Yao's pulse.
It seems that Yuan Xianneng is, as his brother said, youthful, frivolous, impetuous, and eager for quick success!
"Ahem!"
Zhuge Liang deliberately betrayed him: "Those two are very capable in both civil and military affairs!"
Yuan Yao almost drooled.
It wasn't because he was attracted by what Zhuge Liang said.
But because he finally saw the possibility of using Zhuge Liang for himself!
damned!
If I could use a sentence to describe Zhuge Liang's state around him!
Yuan Yao would definitely describe it as "Xu Shu entered Cao Ying without saying a word"!
Ever since he sent Zhuge Xuan to Luling as the county magistrate, and half-bluffed and half-frightened Zhuge Liang into staying as a hostage, Yuan Yao thought that his fortune had turned around and spring had finally arrived.
A spring for time travellers.
Next, he will be possessed by the aura of king and domineering, his tiger body will shake, and his advisers and generals will bow their heads. Then there are all the plots in time-travel novels, starting with exciting stories, where people block the murderer and the Buddha blocks the murderer, conquer all the barbarians from the Central Plains, and fight from the east to Rome in the west; at the same time, he attracts the beauties from all over the world and has a harem...
However, he thought too much and Zhuge Liang had no intention of surrendering to him.
No matter how he hinted or expressed it, Zhuge Liang didn't give him any response at all.
Even though he brought Zhuge Liang with him every day, practiced martial arts every morning and dusk, and reviewed memorials until early in the morning, he still didn't let Zhuge Liang look at him twice.
Zhuge Liang has always been silent and has an attitude that it has nothing to do with him.
He only read articles and books tirelessly every day, looking like a young student who was inexperienced in worldly affairs and harmless to humans and animals, leaving Yuan Yao helpless.
Until he deduced the conspiracy between Liu Yao and Liu Biao from Xu Shao, and was in a dilemma, he could only push Zhuge Liang in front of everyone, rush the duck to the shelves, and half-forced and half-asked him to tell him the solution.
Then when Yuan Yao came back from Jiangxia, Zhuge Liang drew a clear line with him again.
You be the master of your Yuzhang, and I will behave as my hostage.
I, Zhuge Liang, am not greedy for credit. If you think that I have given you a good plan, let me continue to travel around and send as many people as you want to be my bodyguards in name but to monitor me in reality. As long as you let me leave your side, become.
As a last resort, Yuan Yao had no choice but to offer an olive branch that Zhuge Liang could not refuse.
That was the Lu Su whom Zhuge Liang had mentioned that he and his brother had admired for a long time.
In this way, Zhuge Liang was coaxed into accompanying him to Chaisang.
Now!
Zhuge Liang actually said that he was willing to improve my reputation in front of the world? Do you want my subordinates, civil and military, to be loyal to you with all their heart and soul?
Generally, those who can offer such advice to the princes are their humeral ministers!
Oh my God!
The earth!
I was so moved by Zhuge Liang!
"Kong Ming, do you know how long I have been waiting for this moment?"
"Kong Ming?"
Zhuge Liang didn't understand.
Yuan Yao patted his head.
Too excited.
Zhuge Liang hasn't picked up his cousin yet.
"Kong Ming...what Kong Ming? You heard it wrong, you definitely heard it wrong."
"What I just said is that you might as well make it clear and tell us who those two people are."
"No matter who those two people are, I will reward them with all my heart!"
Zhuge Liang's ears moved. He was sure that he had not heard any hallucinations just now.
What is Yuan Yao trying to cover up?
Does he speak Runan dialect?
Forget it, never mind.
But having said that, the word "Kong Ming" fits my "name" quite well.
Tsk tsk.
"Wen and Wu are around the young general..." Zhuge Liang stopped trying to be pretentious and said directly: "Wen refers to the magistrate of Lu County, and Wu refers to the new general that the young general accepted in Jiangxia..."
"Su Fei?" Yuan Yao answered quickly.
Zhuge Liang looked at Yuan Yao strangely, as if he was looking at a fool.
What does it have to do with Su Fei?
"Ahem...no, that martial artist is Gan Ning Gan Sima."
"Lu Su and Gan Ning?"
Yuan Yao was a little confused.
"Why don't so many people reward them, but only reward them two?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing, just waiting for Yuan Yao to guess.
"Major General, would you like to take a ride?"
The bodyguards behind him without blinking came to show their courtesy at the wrong time.
"Get out!"
Yuan Yao waved his hand and walked with Zhuge Liang on the streets of Chaisang County.
Lu Su and Gan Ning, why did Zhuge Liang let me reward them alone?
What do they have in common?
These two people have nothing in common!
One is kind and kind, the other is ruthless and murderous.
One is knowledgeable and courteous, and the other is arrogant and powerful.
Nothing similar.
Perhaps the only thing the two have in common is that they are both friendly and loyal to the people at the bottom.
They are all generous, despise money and other external things, and can be kind to their subordinates.
…
Wait, bold? Do you despise money?
Yuan Yaofan suddenly woke up and raised his head suddenly: "I understand!"
"Xiao Zhuge, I understand!"
Zhuge Liang was a little surprised. Did I underestimate this fool's IQ again?
"Has the Major General really realized his enlightenment?"
Yuan Yao nodded fiercely: "Xiao Zhuge, you are really... you have no plans left!"
"You want me to use rewards to make up for and commend them for their neglect of self-interest, right?"
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and nodded.
These two fools really guessed it again.
In the past, if I didn't say anything, others would have to guess at my riddles for a long time.
Then, when they are overwhelmed and confused, if they explain their confusion with a few words, they will immediately be worshiped as gods... Oh, no prodigy!
Why is it that every time I come to Yuan Yao's place, there is no time to show off?
Strange!
Could it be that he was truly the one chosen by heaven?
Otherwise there is no way to explain it!
Yuan Yao is naturally not as smart as Zhuge Liang imagined.
It's just that he memorized "Three Kingdoms" by heart, and suddenly remembered one of the original sentences.
Zhang Zhaofei and Su were not modest enough, so he was embarrassed to destroy him. Yunsu was young and rough, so he could not be used. Quan doesn't care about it, but he is more valuable and valuable. He gives Su's mother clothes, curtains, sundries in the house, and richness to resemble the old one.
The general meaning of this passage is that Zhang Zhao slandered Lu Su many times because he was not humble enough, but Sun Quan didn't take it seriously. Instead, he rewarded Lu Su generously, making the Lu family's wealth reach the old level.
This was mainly because Zhou Yu had borrowed half of the Lu family's grain, and Sun Quan was just repaying the favor on Zhou Yu's behalf.
This is a common tactic used by Sun Quan's subordinates to win over.
Sun Quan also rewarded Gan Ning in this way, allowing Gan Ning to return to the luxurious ostentation he had when he was a thief of Jin Fan.
I remembered that when I started the army, I borrowed two large warehouses of grain from the Lu family, totaling 10,000 dendrobium, to solve my urgent need.
It also saved me from having to worry about food every day, and I could cross the river to Yuzhang without any worries.
And Gan Ning, he brought all his previous belongings to join him. However, most of them were forced to be discarded in Yunmengze, and the remaining two boxes of treasures were distributed to Lu Dai's soldiers to boost morale.
This also indirectly ensured his own safety and allowed him to return to Yuzhang County calmly.
These two people are role models of self-denial and hypocrisy for serving the public!
They are all great contributors who contribute silently without asking for anything in return!
How could I forget the contributions of both of them?
Yuan Yao just wanted to slap himself a few times.
There are some things that cannot be written down in black and white in the merit book, and even the parties involved cannot take the initiative to talk about them.
Lu Su's donation of grain and Gan Ning's sharing of wealth were both highly praised at the time.
Of course Yuan Yao thought about making up for them.
But there were no conditions at the time, and there were many important military and political affairs, so Yuan Yao actually forgot about it afterwards.
Not only Yuan Yao, but also everyone who had eaten the Lu family's food, as well as the generals who had received favor from Gan Ning, all forgot about it afterwards.
In the end, it was Zhuge Liang who came to remind Yuan Yao!
Thinking about the matter of coming to Lu Su to donate grain, Yuan Yao only mentioned it when Zhuge Liang came out because he had nothing to say, and then when he talked about his situation when he raised his army.
As for Gan Ning's division of wealth, he probably told Zhuge Liang about the war back and forth from Jiangxia when he had nothing to do yesterday.
But Yuan Yao never thought that Zhuge Liang's delicate mind would lead to this!
