The strongest Marquis in history

Zhuge Feng entered the study, Wang Qi never took a rest, he was still reading.

The oil lamp flickered, exuding a dim light.

Zhuge Feng handed the Zhuge family's land yellow book to Wang Qi, and then sat down and said, "Second brother, this is the Zhuge family's land yellow book, you give it to Zhu Shanchang, and let him arrange someone to count it."

Wang Qi picked it up and turned it over roughly, and said with a smile: "Brother, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard!"

Zhuge Feng shook his head.

He solemnly said: "I am now in Zhuge's family. It is your plan and arrangement that I can become the head of Zhuge's family and control Zhuge's family. If it weren't for this, the members of Zhuge's family would not be able to regard me as master. In fact, Even if they support me, it is because of you. If it is not for you, they will not support me."

Wang Qi said with a smile: "They don't know you well, they know your ability, so they are naturally willing."

Zhugefeng said: "Because of the limited financial resources of the Zhuge family, there are only [-] pieces of silk and [-] jin of tea that can be collected. The Zhuge family is not in business, and the storage in the warehouse is limited. Now all The supplies have already been sent to the county government, and I will ask Su Lie to send them to the warehouse."

Wang Qi said: "Thank you, brother."

Zhuge Feng said: "It's too polite between you and me. What's more, if you want to say thank you, I thank you."

After a pause, Zhugefeng continued: "Speaking of which, there is one more thing, which is the promise I made to Zhuge's family when I was in Zhuge's family. This matter requires the consent of my second brother."

Wang Qi said, "What's the matter?"

Zhugefeng replied: "When I was in Zhuge's family, I promised the people of Zhuge's family that anyone who has a literary and military strategy can recommend themselves and come out to do things on their own initiative. I will arrange for them, or enter the county government Zhu Cao, to assist Zhu County Chancellor Handle government affairs. Or go into the military and start at the bottom."

After a pause, Zhuge Feng continued: "In short, let them have room to display their talents. This matter needs your consent, and then we will arrange it."

Wang Qi chuckled and said, "What am I supposed to do? It's such a simple matter."

Zhuge Feng said: "We still have to make it clear."

Wang Qi said: "Brother, when it comes to talents, I will only say a word, and I will only use talents. As long as they are talented, I will use them. If they are here to dawdle and want to be domineering in their positions, then it is impossible. My Nanyang County does not support idlers and useless people."

Zhuge Feng nodded and said: "I have already said this. Once a person who comes out to do things appears to be domineering, or a person who is incapable, his lineage will be directly affected and he will no longer be hired. They When recommending talents, it is impossible to arrange people at will."

Wang Qidao: "If I have an elder brother, I can rest assured."

In fact, Wang Qi wished that all the talents of Zhuge's family could enter the officialdom and take the initiative to serve him.

The current Nanyang is actually a mess.

After a riot of thieves and bandits, the county government was depleted, and it was definitely impossible to rely solely on Zhu Shanchang.Many things need to be arranged by people.In Nanyang right now, there are no capable people.

Zhuge's family is a big family, and all members of the family are at least able to read and write, and they are all capable.

These people took the initiative to become officials, which greatly helped Wang Qi.

It can be said that with this group of people, Nanyang under Wang Qi's rule can rectify everything and sort out all government affairs in the shortest possible time, so that the government affairs can run stably.

As for the army, if people who can read and write enter, they can also improve.

This is a good thing.

After Zhuge Feng finished speaking, he stopped staying and got up to rest.

Wang Qi continued to read the latest news, which was sent by Heilongtai, about the situation in Qingzhou.Right now, Qingzhou is still in chaos. Cheng Mao and Lu Shengqi have not started a war yet, and the situation in Qingzhou is still chaotic for the time being.

Wang Qi now only needs to take care of his own Nanyang.

Early the next morning.

Wang Qi arranged for someone to invite Hadmond, and handed over the tea and silk to Hadmond.Then, Xiao Qingzhi was notified to dispatch a hundred soldiers to escort Hadmon away to ensure Hadmon's safety.

Chapter 263 Orderly Arrangement

Time passed, and after entering December, the weather was getting colder every day.

Although the weather is cold, the reform in Nanyang County is going on like a raging fire without any stagnation.Especially after the Zhuge family's land yellow book was submitted, the government began to vigorously check and measure the land.

In addition, in Nanyang, many places in the area were already vacant, and these vacant lands were directly owned by the government.All the land should be re-registered and registered again.

These things were all done by Zhu Shanchang himself.He had to go to the local area. If he didn't know the local area, even if he had the land yellow book, he couldn't know it well.

After the re-counting of the land, it is the counting of the population.

Demographics are bleak.

Because of the riots in Nanyang, countless people were displaced and killed. The latest statistics show that the population of Nanyang County is less than 4.

You must know that Nanyang is in the north of Langya Kingdom, and it is also a big county.

But only a mere 4 people.

Especially for the 4 people, some of them actually got wind of Nanyang County, knew that Nanyang had stabilized, and came to Nanyang one after another, so there are so many people.

If Wang Qi had started counting the population as soon as he arrived in Nanyang, there would not be 4 people.

Seeing this data, Wang Qi was heartbroken.

Too little!

In such a huge county, there are only 4 people.

Now that Zhu Shanchang reported the population news, he sat below, looked at the somewhat silent Wang Qi, and said slowly: "My lord, although the current population count is only about 4, in fact, it must be more than that."

"First, there are still a group of people who have fled in the mountains and forests, and they don't know the situation in Nanyang."

"Second, demographics, certainly not complete."

"Thirdly, our Nanyang has settled down now, and the future will definitely be better. In particular, the humble official has issued a new decree, calling on the people to do things, with work as relief. I believe that in the near future, more people will naturally come to do things. "

Zhu Shanchang talked eloquently, appearing very confident, and said: "With more people, Nanyang will naturally recover, and people who arrive in Nanyang County will be gradually distributed to various townships and households in the future, and Nanyang will be better. .”

"My humble estimate is that in the next month, the population of our Nanyang people will at least double."

"After all, the surrounding area of ​​Nanyang County is in a mess, and bandits are rampant. Nanyang has become the safest place, especially if you can eat enough. Countless people will gather in Nanyang County."

Zhu Shanchang said firmly: "This point is extremely certain. We should not complain about ourselves now, but should make arrangements in advance so that we will not be unable to cope with the population explosion."

Wang Qi also nodded after listening.

Zhu Shanchang's analysis is reasonable. Although Nanyang's foundation is weak, it will definitely get better in the future.

Wang Qi nodded and said, "Shanchang, what do you think we should do?"

Zhu Shanchang replied: "The counties in the south of our Nanyang are all the heart of the Langya Kingdom. Although there are small groups of bandits in the territory, in fact, there is no climate, there are not many refugees, and there will not be many people flowing into Nanyang. There is no harm to us. What effect."

Zhu Shanchang said: "Under the current situation, our first consideration is actually the area to the north of Nanyang, which borders Qingzhou. After the news about our Nanyang comes out, many people from Qingzhou will gather here."

Wang Qi nodded and said: "Your consideration is very good, and the people from Qingzhou going south is an opportunity for Nanyang's development."

"Come on."

Wang Qi gave an order.

Following the order, Su Lie, who was waiting outside, hurried in.

Wang Qi said: "Go and tell brother to come."

"Yes!"

Su Lie turned around and sent the message.

Wang Qidao: "It's not a trivial matter involving the operation of the people of Qingzhou to enter Nanyang. I'll invite my brother, and we will discuss it carefully and make a detailed regulation."

Zhu Shan said: "My lord is wise!"

He is also happy in his heart.

Wang Qi paid the highest attention to the things he mentioned, which is what he is very happy about.

Not long after, Zhuge Feng entered.

These days, Zhuge Feng was busy with Wang Qi's affairs on the one hand, and dealing with Zhuge's family affairs on the other.Fortunately, in today's Zhuge family, everything has been sorted out smoothly.

The most important thing is that with Zhuge Wuxing's assistance, Zhuge Feng is very relaxed.

A large number of children of Zhuge's family have filled the officialdom.

Either in officialdom or in the army.

The children of Zhuge's family entered, so they also assisted Zhu Shanchang, so that everything in the county government ran smoothly.

After Zhuge Feng sat down, he asked, "Second brother, what's the matter?"

Wang Qi talked about Zhu Shanchang's judgment, and then said: "What we need to discuss now is the entry of Qingzhou people into Nanyang County, and arrange this matter so that the people can be accepted smoothly without any trouble."

After hearing this, Zhuge Feng thought about it carefully, and said: "It is true that things involving refugees entering Nanyang must be properly arranged. If they are not properly arranged, there is a high possibility of chaos. Furthermore, to allow the people to enter Nanyang, careful planning is also required. .”

Wang Qi said, "That's what it means."

After a pause, Wang Qi said, "What do you think?"

Zhuge Feng said: "As for the southward movement of refugees and the resettlement of refugees, I think it can be divided into five steps. This is a big matter, and all arrangements must be made, step by step, otherwise troubles will easily arise."

Wang Qi straightened his waist and asked, "How to arrange it?"

Zhugefeng replied: "The first step is to arrange people to spread the news in Qingzhou in the north of Nanyang, saying that Nanyang County is now using work for relief, but all the people who can't survive can come to Nanyang. The government will not give up anything in Nanyang. A common people."

"Why arrange this step?"

"The reason is actually very simple. It is to attract the people of Qingzhou."

"As the news spreads, countless people are bound to flock to Nanyang. The population of Nanyang is small now, so we want to rob people. Of course, apart from Qingzhou, we can also secretly arrange people to spread the news in the surrounding counties of Nanyang."

Zhuge Feng said slowly: "In short, under the management of the second brother, Nanyang is a paradise, free from war. As long as you live in Nanyang, you don't have to worry about being invaded by bandits."

"This point is a conclusion formed. As long as the people mention Nanyang, they will give a thumbs up and praise that our Nanyang is absolutely safe and will not be invaded by bandits."

"This step is even beneficial for the second younger brother to compete for the world in the future."

"You have formed an impression on the people, that is, under your rule, there must be no bandits making trouble, and no one would dare to make trouble."

Zhuge Feng said: "This first step seems to be simple. In fact, it is the most fundamental cornerstone. If you can't even reach this step, it will be impossible to plan everything that follows."

Wang Qi nodded and said, "Brother, what about the second step?"

Zhuge Feng's eyes were wise, and he said calmly, "The second step is for you, the second brother, to personally lead the people to the junction of Nanyang and Qingzhou, set up camp, and accept the people to enter Nanyang."

"As long as the refugees who enter Nanyang, you will personally arrange for the soldiers to receive them. First, open a porridge tent to help the people, so that the people can have at least one full meal. Then, the soldiers will send them to Nanyang and hand them over to Zhu Xiancheng for distribution. to the villages."

"In this way, the people are assigned to places, so that they have a place to live."

Zhuge Feng said: "Then, start working directly, use work as relief, and earn a living. With this step, the people will not run around randomly, but they will be resettled directly, reducing many troubles."

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

After Wang Qi heard it, he also showed a look of approval on his face.

Zhuge Feng's arrangement for this step is very important.With this arrangement, problems will be reduced.What's more, even if there are people with ulterior motives or even impure thoughts, they can still be under control so that no trouble will arise.

If there is no such step, the people will run around after going south, which will cause various problems.

This step is extremely critical.

When Zhu Shanchang heard the words, he also admired in his heart.As expected of Zhuge Feng, this consideration is really thorough.

Considering many problems, even with Zhuge Feng's arrangement, it will be easier for him to do things as the county magistrate, and it will not be a mess

Wang Qi looked forward to it, and asked again: "Brother, what about the third step?"

Chapter 264 Gather Talents

In Zhuge Feng's eyes, there was a flash of sharp light, and he said in a deep voice: "At any time, anywhere, talents are the most critical and the foundation of development."

"In troubled times, talents are more important. However, talents are the least valuable. Because in troubled times, if you have talent, maybe a wave of thieves and turmoil will kill you, and you won't even have room to display your talents."

"So, second brother, you need to recruit talents."

"In fact, in troubled times, it is an excellent opportunity to recruit talents."

Zhuge Feng said: "So my third step is to set up a recruiting hall on the border between Nanyang and Qingzhou. Whether it is martial arts, literary talent or strategy, as long as you are outstanding, you can recommend yourself."

"As long as he passes the examination, the second younger brother will be granted an official position. Even if the other party is unwilling to serve, he can be allowed to live in Nanyang."

"In short, recruit as many talents as possible."

Zhuge Feng talked eloquently, and said: "The most important thing is to let people know that you love talents and are willing to give talented people room to display their talents through this matter."
