"De'ang, Wei Gong, Yuan Jian, you three will discuss a careful and detailed charter with General Meng and others later, and we must implement this method." Zhuge Liang also asked Li Hui and the others.
The implementation of the strategy of allocating tribes of barbarians with common surnames was not a temporary achievement. It was a long-term national policy. Therefore, the person specifically responsible for its implementation had to be Li Hui, the highest military and political officer in Nanzhong.
The three of them accepted the promise, and Meng Huo and others once again expressed their full support. Zhuge Liang saw that no one had any objections to this matter, so he asked Yang Yi to announce the following strategy.
"Ahem." Yang Yi drew everyone's attention back and continued: "Everyone, the Prime Minister has made a reasonable arrangement for the establishment, scholars and barbarians in Nanzhong. This can eliminate the barriers of rebellion and ensure that Nanzhong There will never be any big trouble again.
It's just that the emperor commissioned the prime minister to come to Nanzhong in person, not so that we can just be satisfied that there will be no turmoil in Nanzhong, but to truly bring the emperor's blessings to the Han and Yi people of all ethnic groups in Nanzhong. Therefore, after the Prime Minister's planning, he planned to implement three policies to benefit the people, so that the people of Nanzhong can live a good life. "
"May I ask Yang Canjun, what are the three strategies?" Ma Zhong asked curiously. He is now the governor of Zanggan. It is related to the well-being of the people under his rule. He, a people-friendly official, cannot ignore it.
Yang Yi smiled faintly: "Don't be anxious, Mr. Mafu. I will tell you right away. The so-called three strategies to benefit the people are: building roads, promoting agriculture, and growing tea."
"May I ask Yang Canjun how to build roads, develop agriculture, and grow tea?" Ma Zhong asked eagerly one after another.
Yang Yi thought to herself that Ma Dexin used to have an angry and secretive temper when he was in the Prime Minister's Palace. Why did he become more talkative when he arrived at Nanzhong? Could it be that it was different when he became the prefect?
Yang Yi didn't know that he really guessed it right. Ma Zhong used to serve as a subordinate in the Prime Minister's Mansion and was responsible for the safety and security of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion. Naturally, he had to be cautious and meticulous in his words and deeds.
It's different now. Now he has been released as the guardian of a county. What he has to worry about is the livelihood of the people in the county. Although he has outstanding talents, it is the first time he has taken on such an important task. It is because everything is difficult at the beginning. When he was at a loss, he suddenly learned that the prime minister had a ready-made governance strategy. Of course, he was anxious to know the details. _o_m
"The so-called road construction..."
Yang Yi was about to explain these three strategies to benefit the people when Zhuge Liang suddenly interrupted: "It was Mingzhi who proposed these three methods first. Mingzhi, it's up to you to explain them clearly to everyone."
"No." Yang Qing stood up and saluted.
He bowed his hands to everyone, and then explained the three strategies of building roads, promoting agriculture, and growing tea to benefit the people. After a while, everyone finally understood the specific contents of these three strategies.
Needless to say, road construction is something that most people can think of. However, due to financial and people constraints, the road from Nanzhong to Shuzhong has never been repaired. Yang Qingyan said that three methods can be used to form a road construction team, which will consume less people's manpower.
First, the rebel soldiers captured during the counterinsurgency can be added to the construction team, so that there is no need to disturb ordinary people, and a group of rebels can atone for their sins.
The second method is to use work-for-relief to gather refugees and build roads, which can relieve the victims and save money and food. Finally, we can cooperate with the barbarian tribes in various counties and let them contribute people. Of course, the government will give them certain preferential policies in terms of salt and iron.
With such a three-pronged approach, if the government makes appropriate use of civilian labor, the roads in Nanzhong will not have to worry about being repaired. These methods have been implemented in Yuexun County, and the results are very good. Everyone present has heard of them more or less, so when Yang Qing proposed them, everyone burst into cheers.
As for promoting agriculture, it is an old method used by the government. However, now that Yang Qing has popularized the curved shaft plow and the new type of turning cart, I believe that the government in the counties and counties in Nanzhong will be much easier to persuade farmers to cultivate mulberry trees in the future.
However, Yang Qing also mentioned that the development of agriculture in Nanzhong must be inseparable from various tribes. He suggested that the curved shaft plow and turning cart should also be promoted among the Yi people, and the backward farming methods of some tribes such as slash-and-burn farming should be changed. This is related to the development of agriculture in Nanzhong. Expand the great cause of household registration and improve the people's welfare.
Of course, specific strategies such as how to promote pear farming among the Yi people and whether to conduct exchanges of benefits are up to each county based on the specific conditions within its own territory.
Nowadays, tea is mostly used as medicine in southern China, but it is still very rare as a drink. It is necessary to promote it. As for the planting areas, they are mainly in the current Jianning County and Yunnan. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

It was implemented in Nanjun and Yongchang counties. In later generations, these places were rich in tea. If it is implemented over time, and then connected to the north to join the tea horse trade, the lives of the people in Nanzhong will surely improve a lot.
After listening to this, everyone agreed that these three strategies were actually good ways to manage the country and benefit the people. If they could be implemented, Nanzhong would definitely be able to achieve great governance.
"Ming Zhi is indeed a great talent. With these three strategies, Nanzhong will definitely prosper. Unfortunately, our county, Xang'an County, is poor and sparsely populated. It will be difficult for us to prosper." Ma Zhong sighed. Update without error@
"Mr. Mafu, thank you for your praise. As long as the road is open, Xianggao County will also prosper." Yang Qing comforted him a little, but didn't say much.
Among the counties in Nanzhong, the conditions in Zangke County are the worst. It is said that the land of Zangke is rainy, has customs that favor witches and ghosts, and has few animals and no sericulture. Therefore, this county is the poorest. It is probably very difficult for this county to achieve major development in this era, so we can only try to develop it slowly.
"I have the auspicious words of the Ming Dynasty, and I will guard the country on behalf of the emperor. I will definitely work hard for it." Ma Zhong was a capable minister after all, and he soon became excited again.
After that, everyone expressed their opinions on the strategy of governing Nanzhong and discussed many clever strategies, which Zhuge Liang adopted one by one. Things in Nanzhong were properly arranged, and everyone was in a happy mood. Zhuge Liang held a banquet in the back garden of the government office, and everyone got together to eat and get drunk.
A few days later, Yang Qing went into the mansion to report official business to Zhuge Liang. When he entered the public room, he saw that he was not writing furiously in front of the case as usual. Instead, he was leaning over the two long cases made up of two long cases, swiping ink and brushing, as if he was writing. Draw something.
"Prime Minister, are you painting?" Yang Qing asked curiously.
Zhuge Liang stopped writing, raised his head and smiled: "Mingzhi is coming, why don't you come over and see how I am doing in my painting?"
Yang Qing took a closer look and saw that there was a piece of white silk about six feet long and two feet wide spread on the long table. There were also paints such as black ink, cinnabar, and azurite on the side. It seemed that Zhuge Liang was really It's painting.
I saw that the sky, earth, sun and moon had been drawn on the silk cloth, and behind it seemed to be an emperor wearing the emperor's robes. Most of the body had been painted, only the lower body was missing.
"What are you painting?" Yang Qing thought to himself, he really didn't understand the meaning of the whole painting.
"The Prime Minister can still paint?"
Zhuge Liang was a little choked after hearing this. After a long time, he said angrily: "Why, I can't do Danqingxie?"
"Hey, that's not what Qing meant. It was just the first time I saw the Prime Minister painting, so I was a little curious." Yang Qing laughed sarcastically and quickly explained.
Little did he know that Zhuge Liang was good at painting and was a representative figure among ancient painters. According to "Records of Famous Paintings of the Past Dynasties": Fu's paintings are now divided into three ancient ones to determine the high and low. Taking the Han, Wei, and Three Kingdoms as the ancient ones, the likes of Zhao Qi, Liu Bao, Cai Yong, Zhang Heng, Cao Yao, Yang Xiu, Huan Fan, Xu Miao, Cao Buxing, and Zhuge Liang were also like this.
"Prime Minister, what is this painting?" Yang Qing looked at it for a long time but still couldn't see what Zhuge Liang wanted to paint. .
