"I also spoke seriously to A Lang," Guan Ji gently hugged Feng Yong, "I really want to thank A Lang! I am able to feel so comfortable today because A Lang is different from ordinary men. I am very lucky!"

"I beg you, Ah Lang, how about letting me do whatever you want for once?"

There was no other choice. This woman seemed determined to be a strong woman and obsessed with starting a business. Feng Yong had no choice but to walk out of the house and find his concubine.

Amei was really surprised and happy when she saw Feng Yong's arrival. Regardless of her disheveled hair, she wanted to put a new sheet on her couch.

Feng Yong waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to go to such trouble, and lay down directly on her, occupying her pillow, "Just put an extra pillow."

"yes."

Amei brought a pillow and placed it next to Feng Yong's head. Then she blew out the lamp, climbed onto the couch softly, and lay down next to Feng Yong shrunk.

"What are you doing so far away? Come here."

Feng Yong smelled the fragrance and said angrily.

"yes."

Amei responded in a low voice and quietly moved closer.

"How many chickens and ducks have been hatched in these days?"

Amei came here with chicken and duck eggs, and Yaomei also came with her. Yaomei has been in charge of the chickens and ducks in the house from the beginning, and she has the richest experience in raising chickens and ducks.

It can be said that Feng Zhuang of Jincheng has almost been reduced to an empty shell by Feng Yong.

"My Lord, a lot of eggs have gone bad. One hundred and twenty chickens have hatched, and three hundred and sixty ducks have hatched."

Amei was very sensitive to numbers and reported them out immediately. She hesitated for a moment and then said, "Master, these eggs are really too bad."

"Yes, it's such a waste." Feng Yong sighed, "But there is nothing we can do if we waste it any more. Time is too tight."

It is necessary to save as much foundation as possible before Zhuge Lao Yao’s Northern Expedition. It would be a pity not to develop such a good place as the Sunshui River Valley as much as possible.

Amei was silent, she didn't know why the time was so tight, but as long as it was requested by her master, she could only try her best to do it well.

"What about the ranch?"

"The pasture is on the right track. The families who are cooperating with Lady Hua have indeed come down. There are thirteen families in total. There is no shortage of money and food. I have calculated it. According to the current situation, I am afraid that in winter, the forage will not be able to keep up.

.”

"Don't worry about this. Nanxiang has sent a lot of alfalfa seeds. This period of time is just right for planting, and you can harvest a crop before winter."

"Also, during this period, you go to Wei Rong and ask him to help you find out the number of livestock in each tribe. Then you can calculate how much fodder you need for the winter. If you find it difficult, just ask Wei Rong for two people."

"But he is too busy right now. There are not enough manpower, so you have to work harder."

Feng Yong gave verbose instructions. With Amei as a senior secretary and arithmetic master, not only could Feng Yong safely hand over statistical stuff to her, but even Wei Rong, who was almost exhausted from work, could breathe a sigh of relief.

"yes."

Amei seemed to like this feeling very much, and it was obvious that there was some joy in her tone.

After talking about some things that Amei was responsible for, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious, and the country man's hand naturally hugged her.

Amei, like Huawan, is a girl from Nanzhong, with a petite body. When she curls up her body, she looks even more petite compared to Feng Yong's majestic figure.

Coupled with Feng Yong's persistence in exercising over the years, even if his physical fitness is not as good as that of Zhao Guang, who has practiced martial arts since childhood, he is still much stronger than ordinary people.

Amei's begging for mercy soon sounded.

When he woke up the next morning, Feng Yong was still full of energy. He glanced at Amei, who was still sleeping comfortably, and felt a sense of conquest in his heart. At the same time, he was a little dissatisfied and said, "After all, I have more fun with Mr. Xi..."

A few days later, after harvesting the rice from the experimental fields, Yuexun Prefect Meng Yan, who had rarely appeared in front of Feng Yong, finally took the risk. He came to say goodbye to Feng Yong because he was going back to Jincheng.

Although I don't know why Meng Yan, the prefect, can run around, this is what Zhuge Lao Yao has to worry about, and Feng Yong said he understands.

The first thing Meng Yan did after returning to Jincheng was to run to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Going to the mountains and countryside?"

The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty was stunned for a while when he heard Meng Yan's words.

"Yes, Feng Langjun, uh, Feng Changshi disbanded most of the soldiers who came from Nanxiang, except for one hundred, and sent the rest to Qiongdu, Su Qi, and staged various battles in the three counties.

Xiang Pavilion."

"On weekdays, we organize farming and educate the people, and during the slack season, we organize soldiers to practice military formations."

When the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty heard Meng Yan's words, he grasped the key point very keenly, "Tell me clearly, are you going to the countryside or to the pavilion?"

"I heard it's here."

"Are you here? Are you sure?"

Zhuge Liang's sharp eyes stared closely at Meng Yan, who was standing below with his head bowed.

"That's indeed what Feng Changshi said."

Meng Yan lowered his head and couldn't see the Han Prime Minister's face, which was suddenly happy and sad.

In the Han system, five families form a group, ten families form a li, and a hundred families form a li. Above that, there are pavilions, townships, and finally counties.

When the Han Dynasty was first established, Emperor Gaozu established the system of sending old people to the countryside, which indeed played a significant role in restoring stability to the world. However, as time went on, especially since the Later Han Dynasty, this system also led to the imperial power not going to the countryside.

.

The imperial court's decrees could only be conveyed to the county town, and further down the line, they could only rely on the help of famous local villagers.

Now Feng Mingwen actually sent Nanxiang soldiers to this level under the slogan of "going to the mountains and going to the countryside".

What are the soldiers of Nanxiang like? How could the Han Prime Minister, who has been paying close attention to Nanxiang, not know?

Just being able to read ensured that Feng Yong could convey his decrees directly to their hands, and then to every household through their hands.

Efficient and effective.

The most important thing is that government orders can reach the bottom directly.

There is no need to rely on local reputation or anything like that.

Who are the village elders and local celebrities today?

They are all big local clans and representatives of aristocratic families.

Zhuge Liang figured this out, and his heart started to beat loudly.

That’s it, that’s it!

This guy has gone through so much trouble, spent so much money, food, time, and energy to promote literacy and print books in Nanxiang, but it turns out it was just for today!

I said how could he be so kind?

The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, who had a strong desire for control, immediately imagined that if all the Han Dynasty could implement this method, what would he be afraid of?

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh when he remembered that Yuexun was a newly established place with special circumstances that made it possible to implement it.

Feng Yong was originally sent there because there was nothing there and he could start from scratch. No one could stop him no matter what he did.

If you want to do this in Dahannei County, how difficult is it?

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and asked, "What else did he do in Yuexun?"

"We raised fish in the newly opened fields and harvested a lot of fish. Feng Changshi also ordered a batch of salt to be transported from Dinglu to make salted fish from the uneaten fish. I heard from Feng Changshi that this

Raising fish in the newly opened fields can help weed weeds, and the food will grow better next year."

Zhuge Liang listened and nodded, "I know this. Jiang Canjun also mentioned it to me a few months ago. I didn't expect that he actually raised it. I heard that he also raised fish in the fields where rice was planted.

?”

"Yes. There is a field specially opened by Feng Changshi. Rice is planted in it and fish are raised. I just caught fish a few days ago and harvested millet at the same time. The millet in that field does grow.

It’s so good, it doesn’t look like a newly opened wasteland at all.”

Meng Yan answered respectfully and told everything he knew in detail.

Zhuge Liang's face showed a sigh of relief, "It is indeed rare to be able to manage the army and care for the people. Do you think he can succeed in holding the capital examination in the three counties of Sunshui River Valley next year?"

The method of capital examination had been abolished at the beginning of the Later Han Dynasty.

In addition to the fact that the actual situation does not allow it, the local county magistrate is also given too much power by the Metropolitan Examination Law.

Today's Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty has some contradictions in his heart. A large part of the reason why the former Han Dynasty was strong was due to the method of Duzhao. This is what the Han Dynasty urgently needs at present.

Someone can help to try to restore the capital without disturbing the inner county of Han Dynasty. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter. This is naturally what Zhuge Liang is happy to see.

But if this resulted in the county governor having too much power, that would be something he did not want to see.

"This... even my subordinates don't know."

Meng Yan said hesitantly, but actually what he wanted to say more was: It depends on the Prime Minister's intention.

The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty hesitated for a long time, and then made up his mind, "Let's watch it first. After you go back, send a message to Feng Changshi for me, saying that I want to draw 500 soldiers from Nanxiang. Let's see what he says."

Meng Yan said quickly, "I understand."
