Zhuge Liang was just thinking when he heard Jiang Wan say again, "Prime Minister, when it comes to harvesting grain, there is one thing that the student has yet to report."

"What's the matter?"

As things in Hanzhong are getting on track day by day, plus sending his most popular disciples to Hanzhong, and being involved in important matters such as the storage of summer grain in Jincheng, Zhuge Liang has not cared about Hanzhong for a while as long as there is nothing major.

.

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

"oh?"

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

"yes."

Zhuge Liang narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, as if he really couldn't remember clearly, "I remember, there is a girl in the sixth room of the Li family, she seems to be in Hanzhong?"

"It's a son and a daughter."

Jiang Wan looked a little strange, coughed, and said, "Listen to what the Li family said, the daughter of the Li family who was placed in Hanzhong has been taken in by Feng Langjun..."

"Um?!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed and he almost blurted out.

House closed?

"Taken into the textile workshop..."

Jiang Wan said cautiously.

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

Zhuge Liang looked a little stunned.

"It was Feng Langjun who took this girl into the textile workshop and said he made her the general manager of the textile workshop."

When Jiang Wan talked about this, the look on his face was even weirder.

This Feng Mingwen is really unpredictable in what he does.

"Just taking care of things?"

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

You were indifferent to that woman earlier. I really thought that You Chang had misunderstood something. Now you suddenly have someone in charge. How could you do things so unreasonably?

Besides, I asked this girl to go to Hanzhong, not to be your steward.

You either don't touch it, or you...

How can you do this and leave half of it?

"I heard from people in the Li family that he is really only in charge, and I heard that most of the affairs involving the weavers in the textile workshop are decided by him."

After Zhuge Liang listened, he was silent for a long time, and then he sighed, "This boy's mind is sometimes open-minded and unconventional. In textile workshops, most of the weavers are 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 house with a little output? Let alone 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. He shook his head and said with a smile, "It's just that I thought about it too much. From the time I got to know this boy, there is nothing he has done that has not been gossiped about."

"This year when the imperial court collects grain, the fabrics used come from textile workshops, so there must be no loss there. Just worry about this matter. Whether it's the Huang family or the Li family, if someone is in trouble when they collect grain, don't worry about it.

Give me a hand, lest anyone with an open mind sees that those two families are easy to bully and wants to take advantage."

"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 in 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 always possible to take more precautions.

wrong."

"yes."

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

"Prime Minister, these days, every family in Hanzhong has received the labor sent by Nanzhong, and the reclamation of wasteland has been much faster. If next year is like this year, and there is no need to pay grain for the newly opened fields, Hanzhong will definitely be self-sufficient."

After a pause, he said again, "It's just that Prime Minister, Hanzhong will start to receive food next year. Isn't he too anxious?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head, "No. Most of the newly opened fields in Hanzhong are land that was abandoned in the past. One year will be enough to produce enough."

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

"But with these eight-oxen plows, even raw land can be cultivated easier than before. Therefore, harvesting grain from this raw land can be postponed for two or three years. Whether it is in Shuzhong or Hanzhong, preparations must be made early."

With the Eight Ox Plow, not only Hanzhong, but also many places in Shu that were difficult to cultivate in the past will become much easier.

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

We can reclaim wasteland in Shu, so why go to Hanzhong?

However, Jiang Wan heard another meaning.

"What does the Prime Minister mean by letting the big families from Shu also enter Hanzhong?"

"It's impossible to block them." Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "If we can block them for two or three years, that's enough. The land in Hanzhong cannot be opened up by merit alone."

"Two or three years later, the cultivated land that had been abandoned was almost finished. As for the raw land, who wants to cultivate it, and why should the court stop it? The more land is cultivated, the more food will be harvested, which is a good thing."

As the representative figure from Jingzhou who entered Shu, Zhuge Liang naturally understood the contradiction between the local wealthy families and outsiders like them.

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than profit and loss.

Why did they welcome the late emperor to Shu in the first place? They said it was to revive the Han Dynasty, but in fact it was not the result of Tu Conglong?

Not to mention the aristocratic families in Shu, or the meritorious deeds brought into Shu by the late emperor, how many people revived the Han Dynasty just because of the late emperor's words?

Even for Guan Junhou and Zhang Junhou, the main reason is because of righteousness, so they live and die together, right?

Therefore, not only did the Shuzhong family not get what they wanted from the big man, but they were pressured by outsiders like themselves and felt dissatisfied. This is human nature.

However, the Han Dynasty only had such a large area, and the money, food, and population were all in the hands of local aristocratic families. Even if they knew that the big families in Shu were dissatisfied, they had to continue to provide people, money, and food.

To revive the Han Dynasty and restore the old capital, we need to fight it out, not shout it out.

Only the more territory is conquered, the more benefits can be divided.

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

From the power of the dragon, what's the use of just giving him a title and an official position?

The most important thing is the inheritance, the inheritance that can be passed down from generation to generation, which can enable oneself and the descendants to have food and clothing, enjoy themselves, and sleep with more beauties.

Fields are the foundation!

Only when there are fields can there be output, and only then can there be money and food. Only when you have money and food can you squander it, right?

But how many of the great heroes of the Han Dynasty came from wealthy families?

If you look at Liao Gongyuan's efforts for the aristocratic family, you will understand that he may not have the intention to find a way out for himself.

Although the local aristocratic families are suppressed by others, they secretly look down on the nobles. What's so great about poor people?

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

As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang coordinated the overall situation, how could he not understand the truth behind this?

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

If a country bumpkin hadn't suddenly appeared, according to his thinking, just balancing the various forces in Shu would have consumed most of his energy.

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

Therefore, it is said that the eight-niu plow is great, and the settlement of Hanzhong is great!

The land of Hanzhong finally diverted the attention of the heroes.

Although we can't feed them all, it's much better than howling with hunger before.

With the foundation in hand, Liao Gongyuan and his like will surely have a lot less money.

The Han Dynasty suppressed the big families in Shu, but why didn't they rely on the money, food and population in their hands?

Only when Hanzhong has output and the imperial court has money and food in its hands can it relax its hands and feet when facing those wealthy families and will not have any scruples.

Hearing what the Prime Minister said, Jiang Wan nodded in agreement, "The Prime Minister did this so that the big families in Sichuan can gain some land benefits, and it will also make them feel less resentful."

After hearing Jiang Wan's words, Zhuge Liang sighed inwardly.

Gongyan is generous by nature, more than stable, but not flexible enough, so he can only be regarded as a stickler. Young Chang is flexible enough, but he is too conceited and not thorough enough in his work.

Both of these are not what I want.

A few days later, Li Yi finally led a group of people to Jincheng.

"Medical Engineer Fan, please stay here in this small courtyard for the next two days. After I finish my work in Jincheng, we will go north to Hanzhong together. Jincheng is the capital of my Han Dynasty. If Medical Engineer Fan is in the mood, he can take a tour."

"I will leave two followers behind. If anything happens, just tell them directly."

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