Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 299 The rumor is wrong

Just as Zhuge Liang was thinking, he heard Jiang Wan say again, "Prime Minister, when it comes to harvesting grain, the students still have one thing to report."

"What is it?"

As everything in Hanzhong is on track, and he has sent his proud disciple to Hanzhong, and there are important matters such as the storage of summer grain in Jincheng, as long as there are no major issues, Zhuge Liang has not cared about Hanzhong for a while. .

Jiang Wan replied: "Prime Minister, the Li family reported two days ago that the Wei Cheng of the Hanzhong Diannong School wanted them to help raise food."

"oh?"

Zhuge Liang was really surprised this time, "The Li family? The sixth room?"

"yes."

Zhuge Liang's peachy eyes narrowed slightly, as if he really couldn't remember clearly, "I remember that there is a daughter in the sixth house of the Li family, who seems to be in Hanzhong?"

"It's a son and a daughter."

Jiang Wan had a strange face, coughed, and said, "Listen to what the Li family said, the daughter of the Li family who was placed in Hanzhong has already been taken in by Mr. Feng Lang..."

"Um?!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, and he almost blurted out.

Received the house?

"Taken into the textile workshop..."

Jiang Wan said cautiously.

"Taken into the textile workshop? What do you mean?"

Zhuge Liang's face was a little stunned.

"It was Feng Langjun who took this girl into the weaving workshop, saying that he made her the chief manager of the weaving workshop."

When Jiang Wan mentioned this matter, the expression on his face was even more strange.

This Feng Mingwen is really unpredictable.

"Just in charge?"

Zhuge Liang's face twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, that bastard, what does this mean?

You ignored that woman earlier, I really thought that Youchang misunderstood something, and now you are suddenly in charge, how can you do things so unreasonably?

Besides, I didn't let this girl go to Hanzhong, but I didn't ask her to work for you.

Either you don't touch it, or you...

How can you do half of it and keep the other half?

"I heard from people in the Li family that they are only in charge, and I heard that most of the weavers' affairs in the textile workshop are decided by them."

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang was silent for a long time, and then he sighed, "This son is open-minded sometimes without sticking to small details. In the textile workshop, most of the weavers are women and women. It is much more convenient for women to be in charge than men. "

"Who would dare to be so bold as to let a woman take power in a place with a little output in another house? Not to mention an industry as big as a textile workshop, he is not afraid of gossip..."

When Zhuge Liang said this, he seemed to think of something again, shook his head and said with a smile, "I was thinking too much. From the time I met this son, there is nothing he has done that has not been gossiped about."

"This year when the imperial court collects grain, most of the cloth and silk it uses depends on the textile workshop, so there must be no loss there. You can worry about this matter, Gongyan, whether it is the Huang family or the Li family. If someone makes trouble when they collect grain, don't worry about it." Give me a hand. In case someone with an open eye sees that the two are easy to bully and wants to take advantage of it."

"Students understand."

Jiang Wan replied, and at the same time sighed in his heart, is it possible that the Huang and Li families are about to turn around?

"Also, please help me draw up an order to ask Wei Wenchang to send some troops to garrison Nanxiang. There are many Hu people in Nanxiang, and although it is unlikely that Wei thieves will go upstream from the Han River, it is not worthwhile to take more precautions. wrong."

"yes."

Speaking of the Hu people, Jiang Wan couldn't help but think of the Liao people who were similar to them.

"Prime Minister, these days, each family in Hanzhong has obtained the labor force sent by Nanzhong, and the land reclamation has been much faster. If next year is the same as this year, and the newly opened fields do not need to pay grain, Hanzhong will be self-sufficient."

After a pause, he said again, "It's just that the prime minister will start to let Hanzhong pay for the food next year. Would you be too anxious?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head, "No. Most of the newly opened fields in Hanzhong are land that was abandoned in the old year. In one year, it is enough to produce output."

When Zhuge Liang said this, he thought of the sixth house of the Li family who had entered Hanzhong to reclaim wasteland, and he couldn't help adding a few words, "It's just that this old-fashioned land will always be finished."

"But with these eight oxen plows, even the raw land is easier to cultivate than before. Therefore, the raw land can delay harvesting grain for two or three years. Whether it is in Shuzhong or Hanzhong, we must make preparations early."

With Ba Niu plow, not only Hanzhong, but also many places in central Shu that were not easy to cultivate before, will become much easier.

So this is one of the reasons why everyone in Shuzhong is willing to promise Zhuge Liang not to enter Hanzhong.

You can reclaim wasteland in the middle of Shu, so why go to Hanzhong?

But Jiang Wan heard another meaning.

"What does the Prime Minister mean, that the big clans in Shuzhong also enter Hanzhong?"

"It can't be blocked." Zhuge nodded and said, "It's enough to block them for two or three years. The land in Hanzhong can't be opened up just by virtue."

"Two or three years later, the abandoned cultivated land is almost finished. As for the raw land, who wants to open it, why should the court stop it? The more the land is opened, the more grain will be harvested, which is a good thing."

As a representative of Jingzhou's entry into Shu, Zhuge Liang naturally understood the contradiction between the local big clan and these outsiders.

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a word of benefit and harm.

Why did they welcome the first emperor to Shu? It is said that it is the revival of the Han Dynasty, but in fact, which one is not the result of the dragon?

Not to mention the aristocratic families in the middle of Shu, but the meritorious people brought into the middle of Shu by the late emperor, how many people are there just for the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty with the words of the late emperor?

Even for Guan Junhou and Zhang Junhou, the more reason is because of righteousness, so life and death go hand in hand, right?

Therefore, not only did the aristocratic family in Shuzhong fail to get what they wanted from the big man, but they were overwhelmed by outsiders like themselves, feeling dissatisfied, which is human nature.

But the big man has such a big place, and the money, food and population are all in the hands of the local family. Even if they know that the big families in central Shu are dissatisfied, they have to continue to send people, money and food.

The revival of the Han Dynasty and its return to the old capital are to be typed out, not shouted out.

Only when the more territory is conquered, can there be more interests to divide.

Besides, not only the local aristocratic families are dissatisfied, even the meritorious people may not be satisfied.

From the merits of the dragon, what's the use of just giving a name and an official position?

The most important thing is the foundation, which can let oneself, the children and grandchildren have enough food and clothing, can enjoy themselves, and can sleep a few more beauties.

The field is the foundation!

Only when there are fields can there be output, and only then can there be money and food, and only when there are money and food can they be squandered, right?

But how many of the heroes of the big man are rich in land?

Just look at Liao Gongyuan opening eyes for the aristocratic family and you will understand, maybe he doesn't have much thought of finding a way out for himself.

Although the local aristocratic family is suppressed by others, they secretly look down on nobles. What's so great about poor ghosts?

Both parties are greedy for the other's things, isn't it just for profit?

Zhuge Liang, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, is in charge of the overall situation, how could he not understand the truth of this?

But the family is weak, the money is tight, the land is small, and the big man is in such a predicament, what can he do?

If it wasn't for a ground turtle that suddenly appeared, according to his thinking, it would take most of his energy just to balance the various forces in Sichuan.

Only strict laws and fair actions can make people speechless and maintain the fragile balance in Sichuan as much as possible.

So, how good is Ba Niuli, and how good it is to cultivate Hanzhong!

The land of Hanzhong finally diverted the attention of the meritorious men.

Although they couldn't feed them all, it was much better than howling with hunger before.

With the foundation in hand, Liao Gongyuan and his ilk will surely lose a lot.

The big Han oppressed the big clans in central Shu, but why didn't they rely on their money, food and population?

Only when there is production in Hanzhong, and the imperial court has money and food in its own hands, can it let go of its hands and feet when facing those big clans, and then it will not have any scruples.

Hearing what the prime minister said, Jiang Wan also nodded in agreement, "The prime minister's actions will allow the rich families in central Sichuan to benefit from their fields, and it will also make them less resentful."

Hearing Jiang Wan's words, Zhuge Liang sighed inwardly.

Gong Yan is generous by nature, more than stable, but not flexible enough, so he can only be regarded as a conservative person; Xiaochang's flexible nature is enough, but he is too conceited, and he is not thorough enough in doing things.

Both of these are not what I expected.

After a few more days, Li Yi finally brought a group of people to Jincheng.

"Fan Yigong, please feel wronged and live in this small courtyard for the past two days. After I finish my work in Jincheng, we will go north to Hanzhong together. Jincheng is the capital of my big man. If Fan Yigong is in the mood, he can visit it."

"I will keep two followers, if there is anything, just talk to them directly."

Li Yi placed the people he brought from Nanzhong in a separate courtyard, and said to them before leaving.

There are about ten people in this group, and the leader is an old man dressed as an old farmer. His hair and beard are all white. At first glance, he looks fifty or sixty years old, but his back is straight, and although his face is tanned by the sun, there are no wrinkles. .

If you just look at the face, a thirty-year-old from a farming family may not be as young as him.

So this is an old man who can't tell his age.

Hearing what Li Yi said, the old man surnamed Fan hurriedly laughed and said, "People in the countryside can live in such a place, how can they be wronged? Li Langjun, please feel free to do anything, don't worry about me and others." .As long as there is something to do, come and tell me to wait for the departure at any time."

Li Yu ordered some more followers before leaving.

"Father, this city of brocade really deserves its name of brocade. It is really prosperous and prosperous. This place is much better than Nanzhong."

As soon as Li Yi left, the two remaining followers went to the side room to rest. The remaining people were old and young, and seeing those young people, they immediately couldn't hold back their excited expressions.

On the contrary, the middle-aged people in the crowd showed nostalgia, and said with emotion, "When I was a teenager, I went to Jincheng with my adults. I didn't expect to come back after so many years."

The old man surnamed Fan looked at his descendants with sadness and joy on his face, as if he was apologetic.

"Hey, I still dragged you down. Since you like Jincheng, take advantage of these two days to look around and think about it. You don't have to go to Hanzhong, and you don't know when you can come back."

"Why should the father be so sentimental? Didn't Li Langjun say that? I will go to Hanzhong here, and I will have a chance. It's not like the master..."

A fast-talking young man just uttered these words, only to hear a yell: "Shut up!"

The young man was so frightened that he immediately swallowed his words back.

The old man surnamed Fan smiled, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his words, "The nobles in the world, why have you ever taken us and other medical craftsmen seriously? Call them when you need them, and drink them when you don't. When you meet those people with vicious thoughts, I'm afraid Even lives are in danger."

After speaking, he glanced at the crowd again, and then continued, "No matter what Li Langjun said, as long as you haven't been to Hanzhong, as long as you haven't seen what he promised, it's not credible, you'd better be careful. "

"Since the adults can't believe it, why do you have to come out in person? Even if the Li family is kind to the adults, but from Li Langjun's tone, they are just looking for some medical workers to order them around. Letting the children go through this is considered retribution. Kindness, why bother your lord to go around like this?"

a middle-aged man asked.

The old man surnamed Fan sighed and said, "Repaying kindness is one thing, but it is my fault that my Fan family was forced to hide in Nanzhong. Nanzhong is a barren land, how can I have the heart to let my children and grandchildren do it because of me?" To become a barbarian?"

"Although I don't really believe in what Li Langjun promised, I can't help but want to come and have a look. The current situation of the Fan family, the crime is my fault, and I should redeem it."

"Father, why should you be so pessimistic? In the land of Nanzhong, people often heard that Feng Langjun was the number one young man in the Han Dynasty, and how many women in Nanzhong were taken in by him, so that they avoided the suffering of war. He will not be a villain."

Young people are more optimistic than their elders. Thinking about the rumors, the number one young man in the big man, Mr. Lang, is only seventeen years old, and he has already made a great career, and his name is known to the world.

If I can follow these young heroes, even if I can't make it to the top, I can still comfort my admiration.

"How can you trust rumors?"

The old man surnamed Fan reprimanded, and said thoughtfully, "But what you said reminded me. Jincheng was originally the capital of Han Dynasty. I heard that Mr. Feng Lang originally lived in Jincheng, and then he went to Hanzhong."

"Thinking of Feng Langjun's great reputation, there must be a lot of rumors about him in Jincheng. Take advantage of this opportunity to go out to watch Jincheng, and take this opportunity to find out."

"Didn't the father say that rumors should not be trusted?"

"Hey!" The old man surnamed Fan slapped his thigh, "Nanzhong is so far away from Jincheng, and the rumors have changed there long ago, so you can't believe it."

"Furthermore, you shouldn't trust a rumor, but you should ask more. As long as many people agree with the same story, there are nine out of ten that it is the same."

After hearing the old man's words, the young people were overjoyed. The matter of inquiring was secondary. The key point was that they could go out and see the city of brocade, which was like a flower. That would be a great thing.

The few of them walked along the way, the more they went north, the more prosperous they felt.

When I arrived at Jincheng, I almost lost my eyesight.

In such a barren place in Nanzhong, let alone seeing it, I just thought about it. I never thought that such a place full of flowers and brocades existed in this world.

So a few people were already itching in their hearts.

"Although Li Langjun is the son of the governor, after all, this is Jincheng, which is under the foot of the emperor. When you go out, you must be careful not to cause trouble or cause trouble. Before going out, first ask Li Langjun's people , is there anything in Jincheng that needs attention."

"Remember the order of the great father."

Several young people said quickly.

Not long after several people went out, only one person came back with a face like earth.

"Father, it's not good! This Feng Langjun is really what you said, the rumors are wrong."

When the young man saw the old man surnamed Fan, he said in shock.

"What did you find out?"

The old man surnamed Fan thumped in his heart and asked hastily.

"Then Feng Langjun, it turns out that he still has a reputation, called Feng Langjun, who is so eloquent. It is said that this person can speak well, so that people like the prime minister can listen to his lies..."

The old man surnamed Fan's face tightened. After thinking about it, he felt a little lucky, "You just went out for a while, so you may not be able to find out everything. We'll talk about it when others come back."

After a while, two young men ran back in a panic.

"Father, it's not good! This Feng Langjun is really as you said, the rumors are wrong!"

"What rumors, tell me quickly? Is it a trick?"

The old man surnamed Fan asked quickly.

"No, no, it's not sly talk, a word is wrong, it's slick talk and lust. I heard that this son is passionate and daring. Not only did he hook up with the young lady of Zhang Junhou's family, but he even dared to let the third lady of Guan Junhou's family accompany him. to Hanzhong."

"Yep!"

Another young man also nodded and said, "I heard that he has changed many personal maids before he got married, and he can't live without beautiful maids by his side. Even if he goes to Hanzhong, he will not forget to bring beautiful maids with him."

The old man surnamed Pan turned pale.

At this time, another young man came in and shouted before entering the door, "Father, father, it's not good!"

"Close the door, speak slowly, don't let others listen!"

When the old man surnamed Fan saw his grandson's expression, he hurriedly shouted.

"Father... Then Feng Langjun, I heard that he is not a good waiter, but he has eccentricities."

"What quirk?"

"It's good to take other people's wives."

"What?!"

The old man surnamed Fan screamed, he finally remembered a certain person, a person he never wanted to think of, but he could never forget.

"Is this true?"

The old man almost grabbed his grandson's lapel.

"No mistake."

The young man ran to the door, opened a crack, and made sure that there was no one there, then turned around and whispered, "I heard that Mrs. Sanlang of the Guan family wanted to discuss marriage with Mr. Li Lang, but was forced by Mr. Feng. Take it away."

As he said that, he swallowed again, "Also, I heard that a few days ago, there was a senior official named Liao who wanted to marry a woman named Li, but I didn't expect that the senior official not only lost his position, but also exiled his whole family. Went to Wenshan."

"And that girl from the Li family is actually staying by Feng Langjun's side...Father...Father...what's the matter with you?"

Before the young man finished speaking, the old man surnamed Fan cursed tremblingly: "Cao thief!"

Then he rolled his eyes and passed out.

Don't worry, it will definitely not be a eunuch, it just temporarily enters the state of magic, and the state is not stable.
