Although Jiaozhou is barren, it is the homeland of the Han Dynasty after all. There is ready-made land that has been developed. After reasonable planning, rice can be planted on a large scale. Compared with reclaiming land from Jingzhou, it saves manpower, and the yield of cultivated land is also good.

And even if the transshipment was not smooth during the Northern Expedition, it would be very convenient to attack Soochow. You could even choose to take the tactic of crossing Dayuling in Panyu, which would pose a threat to Soochow's two routes.

Sooner or later, Wu was going to be destroyed. Now that the state of Wu was stationed in Xiakou with heavy troops, Zhuge Liang was willing to play a two-pronged attack to disperse their forces.

More importantly, Zhuge Liang now has a real problem that needs to be solved on the land of Jiaozhou.

"Prime Minister, no, Kong Ming, you have to think about it carefully."

For four consecutive days, Ma Liang came to Zhuge Liang's house every morning to interfere with his work, making Zhuge Liang's head three big now.

In all fairness, Ma Liang is a very capable, cunning, and very loyal person to the big man.

Under his rule, the aristocratic clans in Jingzhou did not dare to annex land at will, and all taxes and corvees had to be paid on time. It can be said that they were fighting for Liu Bei with their own heads.

But Ma Liang is also a person with very obvious shortcomings.

He is very protective of his shortcomings, although he is devoted to the big man, but he also hopes to stuff all the Jingzhou children under his command into the team of supporting the big man.

In short, he likes to help his nephews and cronies find jobs. Not only the seven aunts and eight aunts, but also the entire wealthy family in Jingzhou.

These aristocratic children are definitely not willing to do business or be petty officials. As a group of people get older, they start chatting, drinking, and pretending to be aggressive when they get together for a long time, complaining about why their abilities have not been reused by the court.

Zhuge Liang once asked Ma Liang to mobilize them to serve in the army, but these people did not do anything in the army when they arrived in the army, and they gathered in the army every day to pretend to be aggressive.

Zhuge Liang, who was angry from the heart and turned to the gall, came up with a very domineering method-send them to Jiaozhou.

"Kong Ming, these are all nephews I watched growing up, all of them are good children who can help the Han Dynasty,

How can you send them to Jiaozhou! "

"I have long heard that the people in Yizhou are not respectful to His Majesty, how about this, I select some nephews, and you let them go to Yizhou to be officials.

Just come to the county magistrate or county lieutenant. "

"There are still a lot of people who are good at martial arts. Now that the Northern Expedition and the Eastern Expedition are going on, these talents are naturally indispensable. I think if they follow Yun Changyi to study morality and lead the army to fight, they will also be... uh... Kong Ming. "

It was rare for Zhuge Liang to show a very speechless expression, so Ma Liang could only smile and stop talking.

Am I the prime minister or are you the prime minister?

Zhuge Liang coughed dryly and said:

"The land of Jingchu is full of talents, this cannot be more clear,

It's just that now that the Han Dynasty is opening up borders, it happens that Jiaozhou, Longyou, and Nanzhong are the three places that need the most talents. This Jiaozhou is the closest to Jingzhou, and the climate is a bit close. It's time for Jingzhou men to show their skills. "

It is a skill to operate one's own nephew to a place with more money, less work and less money close to home, but to operate it in a barbaric place like Jiaozhou is to find trouble.

If Ma Liang did this, he was very worried about being beaten, so he argued hard, hoping that Zhuge Liang would take back his life.

Zhuge Liang, who has always been gentle and refined, didn't bother to tell Ma Liang much, so he glared at Ma Liang and said slowly:

"If you don't want to, I will choose another person from Sichuan."

Ma Liang: ...

The descendants of these aristocratic families will definitely not starve to death if they do not take official duties.

But although it is a very happy thing not to pretend to be an official, the dream of most normal people is to be an official and use their abilities to strive for a chance to be famous in history.

Who wouldn't want to be excavated from the mountain village by a wise leader like Zhuge Liang, and give full play to his abilities.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang seemed really unhappy this time, Ma Liang quickly changed his words:

"Prime Minister, if you have something to say, why bother?

Those Yizhou people are not of one mind with us. At critical times, we still have to rely on our Jingzhou folks. "

Jiaozhou is not a trash can, and sending Zhuge Liang there must have passed certain assessments.

This time he did not fully use the examination, but came up with a method of combining examination and examination.

The children of these aristocratic families were all recommended by Ma Liang, which was considered to have given Ma Liang enough face.

And the exam questions are also very easy-in Zhuge Liang's view, they are very easy, they are just some introductory questions of mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

Ma Liang had been urging the children of the aristocratic families in Jingzhou to learn these subjects before, and now that Zhuge Liang came up with this assessment method, it gave Ma Liang a lot of face. If he wanted to be an official in the future, he would have to listen to Ma Liang.

But Ma Liang soon realized another problem.

"That's not right, Kong Ming, uh, Prime Minister, why is this Yizhou native taking the exam with me, Jingzhou Erlang?"

"Since we all want to go to Jiaozhou to support the prince, we naturally have to take the exam together.

I am the only one who will judge the papers. Do I have to give you the questions twice? "

"No, no, no, I dare not—it's just the prime minister, we Jingzhou people are one family, and the sons and daughters of Jingzhou are all loyal to the crown prince.

People in Yizhou started to study the heavenly scriptures early on. How long have our Jingzhou sons learned it? Putting this together for an exam...how can it compare to choosing some sons who know the basics?

The prime minister can rest assured that when these sons and daughters go to Jiaozhou, they must study hard and will not embarrass the prime minister. "

Zhuge Liang looked at Ma Liang's earnest face, and rubbed his temples a little tiredly:

"Ji Chang, take a long-term view.

In the future, the officials of the big Han will have to take the exam every time they enter. Do you want these sons to stay in Jiaozhou for the rest of their lives? "

"Huh?" Ma Liang pondered for a long time, and suddenly his face glowed.

"I see, thank you, Prime Minister, thank you, Prime Minister!"

Seeing Ma Liang bouncing away, Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly.

However, he quickly adjusted his mentality.

The prosperity of the world is all for profit,

We cannot ask everyone to be dedicated and selfless, and regard the country as their home.

Thinking of this, he remembered what Mi Fang said, when the prince's former residence in Jiangling was being remodeled, he once found a picture from the prince's study.

"The public is eternal, the private is momentary,

In Liang's life, I don't know if he can be a public official..."

Zhuge Liang muttered to himself, but soon he laughed again.

Back then when I was discussing world affairs with Xu Shu, Cui Jun and Shi Tao, although I often compared myself to Guan Zhong Leyi, I never thought about how future generations would evaluate me.

Take charge of the affairs of the past, what's the plan for the post-mortem,

It is enough to do my best for the big man in this life and have a clear conscience.

Shi Hui is worthy of being a master who is famous for beating his teammates and killing his whole family in history.

As soon as he got home, he beat Shigan violently, and immediately led the crowd to force Gong Shixie.

Shi Hui told his father that the sky has changed now,

The prince is the incarnation of Haotian God, he wants to establish a new order in Jiaozhou, if everyone does not choose to follow the prince, sooner or later they will be condemned by Haotian, and the whole family will be wiped out.

He also took the initiative to persuade Shi Xie to give up his position as the prefect of Jiaozhi, so as not to cause any trouble for Haotian God to take over Jiaozhou.

The third son was so filial that he almost sent Shi Xie away on the spot. The 84-year-old Shi Xie was coughing uncontrollably.

But after thinking about it, he still let out a long sigh, and said with a somewhat decadent expression:

"I'm old, everything from now on is up to you."

At the age of 84, Shi Xie really didn't have the heart to fight anymore with his son being so cheating.

Forget it, hurry up, I can't wait.

Shi Hui breathed a sigh of relief seeing his father admitting cowardly so easily.

He immediately changed into a very moved expression, and asked his subordinates to spread out the world map Liu Chan had given him, proudly showing the beautiful blueprint of the future world.

"The world in the South China Sea is bigger than a big man,

The prince promised that the island countries I found in the South China Sea will be hereditary for 200 years, including this continent called Leah! "

Shi Hui's expression was very similar to that of a salesman of a certain real estate agency in later generations, but he involved himself in the promotion.

It is conceivable how difficult it is to develop a barren land.

Shi Xie looked at his sixty-year-old son who was eloquent and chattered endlessly, thinking that he was older and more confused than himself.

This map is so exquisitely drawn, but the borders and names of the countries on it are quite different from modern ones. Who knows what it is.

Shi Xie fell into long hesitation again.

After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice:

"Prepare the carriages and horses, I'm going to Yulin to meet the prince."

Shi Hui widened his eyes and said anxiously:

"Don't father believe me?

Everything I say is the truth, if you have any orders, just ask me to do it. "

Shi Xie let out a hey, ignored his son who was still barking, and left with his hands behind his back.

Shi Hui was furious and wanted to chase him out of the mansion, only to find that the guards around him drew their knives out of their sheaths and looked at him solemnly.

"This cochin, I still have the final say."

Shi Xie's old voice floated from afar, and Shi Hui couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

Liu Chan was also overjoyed when he heard that Shi Xie was going to meet him.

This old man has occupied Jiaozhi for 40 years, and he is one of the few legendary family leaders in Jiaozhou who can be called a family.

Although his rule could not be called Minyin and Guofu, but because he himself was a student of the great Confucian Liu Tao, he took advantage of the trend to spread enlightenment on the land of Jiaozhou.

During the war-torn era, he also sheltered celebrities such as Liu Ba and Xue Zong. Generally speaking, he played his role faithfully in Jiaozhi and lived up to the responsibility of the big man Jiaozhi prefect.

Even his son Shi Hui has great prestige in this land. Hearing that Shi Xie came in person, it was time for Liu Chan to show his sincerity.

"Put on armor for Gu Gu, so Gu will go to see Shi Xie."

Chapter 418

Shi Xie lives in Longbian, Hanoi today, and Liu Chan lives in Guiping City, Guigang, Bushan.

Therefore, he sent out in person with great emotional intelligence, expressing that he would greet Shi Xie in person, and in order to entertain Shi Xie well, and persuade the king of Jiaozhou to be honest and willing to accept the setting of expanding the territory for the great Han, Liu Chan also deliberately After running for a thousand years, I bought him some things that Shi Xie could use.

Huang Hao, who received Liu Chan after a thousand years, heard about Liu Chan's request, asked carefully about Shi Xie's status, and immediately showed an expression that I understood.

"Mr. Liu, are you sure you didn't use it yourself?"

"I said it was to send an elder, why do you have so many questions?"

"Could it be that elder"

"It's really not me, nor my father, understand?"

"Oh, don't I understand if you said that earlier?

Don't worry, I am very safe in my work. It is just that you can't use it indiscriminately to let the old man find himself and regain his youth. "

Liu Chan:? ? ?

After all, Shi Xie was one of the most powerful men in Jiaozhou, and Liu Chan would not run all the way to the border of Jiaozhi to increase the risk of being surrounded.

He took Ding Feng as the general to open the way, and Han Long as the guard carefully searched both sides, and began to slowly advance westward.

Fazheng suggested that if someone killed Shi Xie and blamed Liu Chan on the way, there might be extra problems, and asked Liu Chan to make some preparations for this matter.

But now Liu Chan really doesn't have any people who are familiar with geography to hire. If someone does something like what Fazheng said, and a few people with ulterior motives will make a good publicity, even if he is full of mouths, he can't speak clearly.

Dan Dingfeng said that he has discovered a talent from the waste dump, and he will definitely play a big role for Liu Chan

Bandit King Jin's dream has always been to occupy a few hills, honestly rob sanitation, and being able to make a living is already very good.

But he never expected that there would be such a brazen person in this world, Shi Hui and Qian Bo combined, they tied themselves up and gave Liu Chan the credit.

He is also a thief, but now Qian Bo has become the prefect of Zhengyin, and Wang Jin is now a prisoner, and he may be hacked to death at any time. Life is really miserable.

But compared with Qian Bo, Wang Jin's brothers who played tricks together are still very good.

Seeing that their eldest brother was arrested, they originally wanted to rob prison, but judging by their few dollars, going to prison may be no different from sending them to death.
