"Yuan Jian, let me serve some cakes and tea to help everyone's stomach." Zhuge Liang ordered Liao Hua, and then smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, let's rest for a while and discuss again."
There were too many major events announced today, and everyone was already feeling dry and dizzy from talking. Zhuge Liang noticed everyone's fatigue and thoughtfully asked everyone to take a rest.
Yang Qing was not hungry yet, but felt that the air in the house was a bit stuffy, so he simply went out to the corridor to get some fresh air, and stretched his sore neck. He felt much better.
"Ming Zhi is really smart, he knows how to breathe." Yang Qing was stretching his waist, and suddenly laughter came from behind him.
He didn't look back and replied with a smile: "Anguo is also out."
"Well, after sitting for a long time, I want to get up and stretch my muscles." Guan Xing walked to Yang Qing and twisted his neck like him.
"I'm afraid it will take some time for today's discussion to end!" Guan Xing sighed with emotion.
Yang Qing smiled and said: "This is the Prime Minister's overall arrangement for the Nanzhong matter. It will certainly take some time." After a pause, he looked at Guan Xing and joked: "Why is Anguo so tired from sitting there?"
"It's not that I'm tired, I just think these political affairs are quite complicated and it's a bit overwhelming. I still like to go into battle and kill the enemy."
"Haha, this is you, General Guan. You must know that most people still don't like war. After all, people always die in war." Yang Qing smiled.
Guan Xing was a little embarrassed when he heard this, scratched his head and said: "That's why I admire Ming Zhi and Prime Minister Zhuge very much. They can govern both the people and the army. They are really versatile in both civil and military affairs!"
Yang Qingdao: "I am nothing. The prime minister is the real genius in the world. Now the revival of the Han Dynasty depends on him alone. The responsibility cannot be overestimated. Of course, the revival of the Han Dynasty cannot be done by him alone." , otherwise the Prime Minister will be too tired, and I will do my best to assist him, so I can share some of his burdens with him."
"Yes, it is common for the prime minister to deal with official business late at night. If this continues, his body may not be able to bear it." Guan Xing was also concerned when he thought of Zhuge Liang's pressure.
"So we have to work hard and not let everything fall on the Prime Minister alone." Yang Qing patted An Guo on the shoulder and said solemnly: "An Guo has always been wise and talented, and he is also a great talent in civil and military affairs. You should not belittle yourself. You know The Prime Minister has placed high hopes on you, so don’t let down the Prime Minister’s love and care.”
Hearing this, Guan Xing seemed to have thought of something. After pondering for a moment, he bowed to Yang Qing and said, "Thank you for your advice, brother. Xing is willing to work with him to revive the Han Dynasty."
"Why are Anguo so polite? You and I don't have to be like this, please get up quickly." Yang Qing quickly helped him up, held his hand and nodded slightly: "Everything is for the purpose of reviving the Han Dynasty!"
"Yes, revive the Han Dynasty!" Guan Xing also nodded and replied.
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes, and suddenly laughed at the same time.
"Why are you so happy? Tell me and let someone listen." Zhao Yun came to the two of them and asked curiously.
"Haha, it's nothing. An Guo and I talked about some interesting things in the past few days." Yang Qing said: "Why is the old general also out?"
Zhao Yun said: "It's almost time to start the discussion. Seeing that you two guys haven't come back yet, I came out to look for you."
"It's really a big help, uncle." Guan Xing thanked him with clasped fists.
"It doesn't matter, I just happened to come out for some air." Zhao Yun waved his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go back." Yang Qing and Guan Xing nodded, and the three of them returned to the hall.
Seeing that everyone was back, Zhuge Liang said loudly: "Now that everyone's spirits have recovered, let's continue the discussion." After saying that, he shouted to Yang Yi: "Master Wei..."
Yang Yi understood the idea, stood up, cleared her throat, and said, "Many of you are powerful men with big surnames from Nanzhong. They should be well aware of the situation of the barbarians in various tribes. Who do you think the barbarians are?"
What does Yang Yi mean by this? Most of the people present, especially the locals in Nanzhong, didn't understand what he meant. Why did he keep talking about the barbarians today? Wasn't it already a way to move the elite barbarians to the north? Does Prime Minister Zhuge still want to make a fuss about the Yi people?
Everyone was a little confused, and many couldn't help but secretly look at Zhuge Liang in the main seat, trying to get clues from his expression, but Zhuge Liang just looked away (this chapter is not finished yet!)

Shaking the feather fan, he smiled and closed his eyes to rest, seemingly not hearing the gentle comments from the crowd at all.
"Li Shijun, you are also a native of Nanzhong. What do you think of the nature of the barbarians?" When no one answered, Yang Yi simply asked by name.
Li Huishen was the commander-in-chief of the surrender, so naturally he already knew Zhuge Liang's strategy, and knew that Yang Yi deliberately called out his name, so he replied: "Most of the Yi people are ignorant of etiquette, and it is normal to be brave and fierce."
"Ah, your words are very accurate, and they accurately describe the character of the barbarians." Yang Yi clapped her hands and praised: "They are tough and untamable, and they often fight with the people in Nanzhong, especially the rich people who are angry because of their money. General Meng, General Cuan, General Huo, are Yang’s words true or not?”
Meng Huo, Cuan Xi, and Huo Wei had always kept a low profile during today's discussions due to their reduced status as generals, and occasionally spoke cautiously and carefully. When they were suddenly asked about this, the three of them were a little stunned.
However, the eyes of everyone else in the hall were focused on the three of them, and they could not allow them to think too much. Meng Huo was the first to reply: "What Yang Canjun said is absolutely true. The barbarians are all people who don't know how to be kings. Know how to pick fights with others."
"Most of the Yi people are rebellious and rebellious, fearful of power and not virtuous." Cuan Xi also echoed.
"The Yi people are jealous of the money of Han people like us and often want to plunder." Hao Wei seemed to have remembered something and sighed.
"Yes, as the three generals said, many disputes and disasters are caused by this. Therefore, the Prime Minister has a plan to make the barbarians submit to the powerful families of each family, so as to ensure the peace of the Han and Yi tribes."
"May I ask what the prime minister has in mind?" Meng Huo asked eagerly. He was now fully convinced of Zhuge Liang's abilities and had made up his mind to do whatever the prime minister told him to do.
Yang Yi said with a smile: "The prime minister's intention is to ask the powerful families to give some money and silk to hire those vicious barbarians as their own tribes. The tribes will be managed by captains. Of course, the position of captain will be assigned by each family." Serve.
If the barbarians are greedy for wealth, they will surely follow them. In this way, the Yi people no longer cause trouble when they get money, and the major surnames also have strong tribes to protect their homes. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone and wins for both sides. "
"So that's it. The Prime Minister wants the Nanzhong surnames to use their money to hire barbarians to make troops. The elite of the barbarians will first be moved to the north by the imperial court, and the remaining weak ones will be assigned to various surnames for control. Then the barbarians will be in control from now on. There is not much strength left to rebel against the country." Yang Qing thought to himself.
"I just want to integrate the elite of the barbarians into the imperial army to increase the strength of the Northern Expedition, and the prime minister also has such arrangements for the remaining weak barbarians. The prime minister is worthy of being a prime minister, and he is indeed very resourceful!" Yang Qing praised sincerely in his heart.
When everyone heard this, they felt that this was indeed a clever plan, but they didn't know if the powerful people in Nanzhong would be willing to do it.
"The prime minister's method is very wonderful. He is willing to do it. I think Brother Cuan and Brother Huo are also willing." Meng Huo saw that everyone was looking at him again, and he quickly expressed his feelings.
"My Cuan family is willing." Cuan Xi's reaction was not slow.
"This method kills two birds with one stone. We, the Huo family, will do our best to share the worries of the imperial court!" Huo Wei said righteously, not to be outdone.
"Okay, the three generals are indeed loyal to the country and can set an example for the great surname of Nanzhong." Yang Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw these three people taking the right approach. It seemed that they saved a lot of words.
"Yang Canjun is ridiculous. This is what we should do." Meng Huo cupped his hands and said, "But Yang Canjun, we and the three families are bound to do it, but we can't guarantee it for other surnames."
Although they are the powerful representatives of the Nanzhong family, they really don't dare to make sure that they have to pay for it.
"The one who has more will be a hereditary official." Before Yang Yi could answer, Zhuge Liang, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"Families that recruit a lot of barbarians can have the hereditary position of captaincy. If the court has this guarantee, I think those guys will be happy to agree." Meng Huo secretly changed his mind.
Then he got up and walked to the hall to worship Zhuge Liang and said: "Prime Minister, I have been so kind to you. I would like to thank you on behalf of all the big families in Nanzhong. I will persuade all the big families to come up with clever strategies to pacify the Han and Yi people." Cuan Xi and Huo Wei He also quickly left the table and said thank you.
"Please get up quickly, three generals. The three of them understand the righteousness so well. They are a blessing to the imperial court and to Nanzhong." Zhuge Liang raised his hand to signal them to get up.

Everyone also praised Meng Huo and the others greatly. Although it was a win-win move to ration the Yi tribe of the Yi tribe in Nanzhong, it was best to let the powerful people share the worries of the court. It was best if they could take the initiative to bear the burden.
Later, big surnames such as Jiao, Yong, Lou, Cuan, Meng, Liang, Mao, and Li were all assigned to tribes of Yi people. Therefore, the imperial court set up five tribes of captains to govern, named Wuzi. Therefore, the southerners would later have four surnames and five sons. .
