Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 261 Zhuge's Conspiracy!

"I've seen Qihou."

Zhuge Jin cupped his hands slightly, Yuan Tan waved his hands and said:
"Mr. Zhuge, there is no need to be too polite. I am here to invite Mr. Zhuge. Firstly, the one-month agreement has come to an end. Secondly, I have made a new thing here. I want to invite Mr. Zhuge to come over and rectify one or two things for me. .”

As Yuan Tan said, he signaled Yuan Lang to move a chair for Zhuge Jin.

The chair was designed by Yuan Tan himself, not produced by the system.

After all, Yuan Tan himself has seen a lot of Taishi chairs in later generations, and there is nothing technical about them.

Arranging a craftsman camp to make several for myself.

However, kneeling ceremony was popular in the Han Dynasty after all, so Yuan Tan used these chairs for his own use, and did not take them out to the outside world.

The reason why he took it out to entertain Zhuge Jin was just because Yuan Tan was too lazy to kneel down.

Although he has the strength of nine oxen and two tigers, although the posture of kneeling and sitting in salute is tormenting, but he has previous experience, and it is okay to get used to it.

But how can it be compared with the comfortable Taishi chair?

Although it was the first time for Zhugejin to see something like a Taishi chair, she didn't say much, but she couldn't help but underestimate Yuan Tan in her heart.

There are many rumors in the market that General Yuan Tan is domineering and domineering, and loves extravagance.

Although most of them cannot be taken seriously, some details cannot be taken seriously.

This General Yuan Tan was probably as rumored, a luxurious and lustful master no less than Yuan Shu.

This made Zhuge Jin even more determined to say goodbye.

Zhuge Jin's expression changed, and he couldn't escape Yuan Tan's eyes. Immediately, Yuan Tan chuckled lightly and said lightly:

"Mr. Ziyu, do you think my chair is inappropriate for etiquette?"

Yuan Tan spoke casually, but Zhuge Jin didn't dare to answer casually, so he cupped his hands and said with a wry smile:
"Ziyu didn't intend to comment on the general's daily life, so I asked the general to speak frankly, what is the meaning of inviting Ziyu here?"

Seeing that Zhuge Jin didn't want to say more, Yuan Tan didn't bother to talk anymore. Anyway, with Qu Yuanli in hand, Yuan Tan was not afraid that Zhuge Jin wouldn't stay.

He smiled slightly and said:

"It's not urgent for now, but Yuan is just curious. Mr. Ziyu stayed in Xuzhou for a month. What do you think of the current Xuzhou?"

The meat is here!

Hearing Yuan Tan's question, Zhuge Jin immediately straightened her back.

When Yuan Tan asked him to stay in Xuzhou for one month, Zhuge Jin guessed that Yuan Tan might want to ask him how to restore the people's livelihood in Xuzhou.

Although he didn't intend to stay and work under Yuan Tan's account.

But Yuan Tan will be the ruler of Xuzhou for a long time to come, and Xuzhou is his hometown after all.

Even if I move to Jiangdong now, I can't really ignore my homeland.

So this month, Zhuge Jin can be said to have visited Xuzhou up and down.

After watching a lot, Zhuge Jin also has some admiration for Yuan Tan.

Regardless of the details of Yuan Tan's life, he showed many things that Zhuge Jin couldn't stand.

But as a general, Yuan Tan's behavior made it impossible for Zhuge Jin to slander against his will.

In this era, a general can restrain his soldiers and horses in the barracks, and can not disturb the people.

When buying commodities on the market to enrich military resources, it can also achieve fair transactions and not overwhelm others with power.

This can already be called a famous general in the world!
But Xuzhou's problem, in Zhuge Jin's view, can not only be solved by a famous general in the world.

Zhuge Jin sorted out his thoughts, and slowly expressed his views.

Generally speaking, Zhugejin's current views on Xuzhou can be roughly divided into three parts.

They are agriculture, commerce, and the restoration of the city defense system.

Zhuge Jin didn't say much about the restoration of the commercial and city defense system.

After all, these two problems are not him, even in Zhuge Jin's view, even Yuan Tan can't solve them.

Xuzhou's business was initially supported by the Mi family.

With the presence of the Mi family, a powerful family that connects the world, Xuzhou's business tax can always remain at the forefront of the big man.

Before the Mi family followed Liu Bei into exile, more than half of Xuzhou's tax revenue came from commercial tax payments from commercial circulation.

But right now, the Mi family is not here, and other families in Xuzhou have been killed by Chen Deng again.

If you want to restore Xuzhou's commercial scale, you can only rely on time to heal slowly.

After all, a wealthy family that connects the world cannot be created out of thin air.

In Zhuge Jin's view, the opening of commercial channels with other states and counties, the market share of commodities, etc.

Don't talk about himself, even Yuan Tan, a substantive prince who holds military and political power, is helpless.

As for the city defense system, the current Zhuge Jin is not the great general of Soochow later.

He still has very shallow views on military affairs, Yuan Tan just listened to it casually and didn't take it to heart.

On the contrary, in terms of agriculture, Zhuge Jin's summary made Yuan Tan's eyes shine.

He became more and more satisfied with the future Minister of Agriculture in his mind.

Zhuge Jin summed up the current agricultural situation and recovery methods in Xuzhou quite well.

Xuzhou has been devastated by war several times. Cao Cao once slaughtered the city, Liu Bei and Lu Bu fought in Xuzhou, and later, Lu Bu and Cao Cao fought in Xuzhou.

And the most recent confrontation between Yuan Tan and Yu Jin in Xuzhou.

After these few battles, although Xuzhou will not be in a miserable state of ten houses and nine empty houses, it is a cruel fact that there are only one or two families left in five families.

Insufficient manpower, together with Xuzhou's arable land, a large area was abandoned.

The abandoned arable land further exacerbated the sharp drop in Xuzhou's tax revenue and grain production.

Food production has decreased, but the food that the princes and town generals guarding Xuzhou should supply to the front cannot be reduced because of this.

After all, the mudlegs rebelled, and they just cut wood for banners and bamboo for swords.

But the soldiers on the front line mutinied, and that was the one who really held the knife.

The lesser the lesser, the lesser it is.

Therefore, instead of being relieved by the reduction in grain production, the burden on the people of Xuzhou has continued to increase.

This further exacerbated the reduction in the number of people in Xuzhou, especially the severe drought in the Central Plains a few days ago.

The people of Xuzhou fled to Hebei on a large scale.

At present, the total population of Xuzhou can be one-fifth of that before the Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is not bad.

Therefore, in Zhugejin's view, if Xuzhou wants to regain its vitality, at least it can supply Yuan Tan's army.

Launch the war to destroy Wei in the future.

It takes at least three years to gather together, and within these three years, it is necessary to be light and light.

If necessary, it would be best to summon the refugees as well.

As for the method of summoning the refugees, Zhuge Jin also gave a practical and feasible way.

"There are many mountain bandits and bandits in the areas of Runan and Xiapi. Your Majesty has the reputation of being victorious in every battle. You might as well send an envoy to recruit them and follow the example of Duke Wei... Cao Cao recruited the Qingzhou Army in the past. The strong ones were trained as The army will send the old and weak back to the fields. In this way, we can not only strengthen the army, but also shorten the time for Xuzhou's people to recover."
