Chapter 834 Zhuge Zhongda
Yanzhou, Changyi County
Yuan Yao stayed by Sima Yi's side all day, but felt that he hadn't learned anything. Sima Yi used his name to play around in Yanzhou, but he didn't teach him anything useful. Moreover, Sima Yi's relationship with local officials was This made Yuan Yao scornful, no matter what kind of shameless flattery, Sima Yi could bear it.

During these two months, Yuan Yao accompanied Sima Yi, traveled all over Yanzhou, and met many officials. No matter where he went, Sima Yi always let Yuan Yao follow behind him, and Yuan Yao also saw many officials. What he had never seen in his life, the respect of local officials, he had seen in Yuzhou, but unlike Yanzhou, the respect of local officials in Yuzhou was only in words, but here, it was in expensive gifts.

Another night, Sima Yi was sitting in the study, holding the jade sent by the officials, putting it under the light, carefully looking at it, seeing Sima Yi's joyful appearance, Yuan Yao stood behind him, his face was full of disdain, Sima Yi looked at it seriously for a long time, then turned his head and asked with a smile: "Yaoer? Look, how about this jade?"

As he said that, he threw the jade to Yuan Yao abruptly. Yuan Yao was taken aback, and hurriedly caught the jade, not in the mood to appreciate the jade, but said solemnly: "Cousin, last year, The Son of Heaven has just vigorously punished corrupt officials, how can you take money from other people? If someone has a heart to report, let alone a Yanzhou shepherd, even a county magistrate, I’m afraid you won’t be able to become a magistrate!"

Yuan Yao said angrily.

However, Sima Yi shook his head and said: "The so-called corrupt officials are those who take advantage of others and help them with their affairs. This is called a corrupt official. I just accepted the gift, but I also returned the gift. And doing something illegal, how can this be called bribery?" Sima Yi glanced at Yuan Yao, and said: "Reciprocity is just a relationship between us celebrities."

Yuan Yao's eyes widened, and he asked angrily, "Since that's the case, why did my cousin do such a sneaky thing? Why can't you see the light?"

"In the name of reciprocity, openly accepting gifts from subordinate officials, this will definitely bring disaster to my cousin."

"It's not that you can't see the light, it's just that you have to be careful about this kind of thing, otherwise, the emperor will be unhappy."

Yuan Yao snorted coldly and said, "In my Yuzhou, this has never happened before."

Sima Yi slammed the case and interrupted Yuan Yao's words, "Yuzhou, Yuzhou, hehe, you were led astray by that idiot Zhuge villager. He is a poultry farmer and knows nothing about politics. He governs in Yuzhou. He doesn’t win over officials, he says he’s entrusting important matters to everyone and working together, but in essence, he simply looks down on any officials in Yuzhou, and everyone, including you, is just a tool in his eyes, not a cronies.”

"He will not entrust important matters to these people. In the name of delegating power, he lets everyone do things according to his ideas. This is not delegating power, it is treating people like dogs!"

"Thanks to a stupid dog like you, being used by others, and helping others to say good things."

"Governing a state is not governing a county, governing a county, how many counties, how many counties, how many prefects and magistrates are there in Yanzhou, what are they thinking in their hearts, are they willing to work hard for your great cause? Have you thought about it? After I arrived in Yanzhou, I was all about wooing these officials, what they sent was not respect, but themselves!"

"The whole of Yanzhou is gathered under my account. Those who don't want to come close have been eliminated by my thoughts. All the officials in Yanzhou are willing to obey my orders, with me as the leader, and willingly implement them, because they are all my confidants. The higher I climb because of my political achievements, the greater the benefits to them, but in Yuzhou, even if the officials are exhausted, all the credit is Zhuge Liang, so what is the benefit to those people?!"

"Nowadays I don't understand the simple truth, but I want everyone to work for me. Let me tell you, if it wasn't for Zhuge Liang who could still talk to the emperor, the local officials would never pay attention to him. He thinks about everything It's too ideal, it seems that as long as you give orders, everyone will do it willingly. If you follow him, what can you learn?"

Hearing Sima Yi's words, Yuan Yao was furious. After Zhuge Liang taught him for a long time, how could he allow others to insult him? However, this is a close relative of his own, or an elder with him, Yuan Yao gritted his teeth, Not saying a word.

"Hahaha, Zhuge Liang asked you to build a Hun Fan, and you are so grateful?"

Sima Yi laughed, stood up, stretched his body, and then looked at Yuan Yao, "I am not you, my relatives, I will not treat you badly, from tomorrow, you will be the shepherd of Yanzhou for me, You can dispose of the performances of the officials, big and small, and it’s just right, I’m going to rest for a while!” Sima Yi yawned and was about to leave.

"Wait, cousin?? Me??"

"what happened?"

"How can this state shepherd matter be a trifling matter?"

Before Yuan Yao could finish speaking, Sima Yi had already left the study, leaving only Yuan Yao standing in the study blankly, starting to be the state shepherd tomorrow? ?What ability do I have to be a state shepherd? If something goes wrong, what can I do?

Sure enough, Sima Yi really did as he said, completely ignoring political affairs, and went directly back to the mansion to find his first wife, and lived a happy two-person world. On the next day, Yuan Yao got up, rushed to the study, and waited enough. After an hour, Sima Yi didn't come, and he realized that his cousin wasn't joking with him, so Yuan Yao could only stretch out his trembling hand, and took the place watch on the case to read.

There are also some officials in the study. They usually help Sima Yi to write and sort out the subordinate officials. Yuan Yao picked up the memorabilia to read, and these people surrounded him with a smile. They didn't mean to stop Yuan Yao at all, and said To help Yuan Yao deal with it, Yuan Yao felt for the first time that Yanzhou surpassed Yuzhou, and it could not be said to be surpassed. In short, he was in Yuzhou, if he wanted to intervene in some matters, the officials would definitely stop him.

It was different in Yanzhou. These people were all Sima Yi's confidantes. As for Sima Yi's cousin, they directly regarded him as a young gentleman, and he could do whatever he wanted.

Yuan Yao looked at these memorabilia, these were the proposals of various officials, many of them were prefects, and occasionally there were county magistrates, Yuan Yao frowned. Yuan Yao looked at these proposals seriously, and really didn't know how to solve them. He scratched his head and looked at the subordinates below.

"On weekdays, how do cousins ​​do it?"

"Shaojun, the county magistrate's memorial should be dismissed to the prefect's mansion. The county magistrate cannot exceed his authority to submit the memorial, unless it is impeachment. As for the prefect's memorial, if Shaojun thinks it can be implemented, then do it. If not, hand it over directly to the prefect. We, we can reply ourselves." The official said with a smile.

Yuan Yao struggled for a long time, and suddenly remembered the scene in Yuzhou.

In an instant, his whole body seemed to have changed, he slowly raised his head, and said proudly: "Go and get the map of Yanzhou!" The subordinate officials acted quickly, and soon, the map of Yanzhou was placed In front of him, Yuan Yao looked at it seriously, and then said: "I heard that when educating students, we should teach students according to their aptitude, and when governing the local area, we should adapt measures to local conditions. The situation in different parts of Yanzhou is different, and the government orders to be implemented should also be different. of."

"Young gentleman and great talent!", the subordinate officials praised him one after another.

"I won't come here in person anymore. I will take a map and look at their proposals, and let them implement administrative orders according to local conditions. For those who have good proposals, reward them with money and reward their achievements. For those who have not been used, I will also A small amount of rewards should be given to them to continue their efforts. Most of Yanzhou is plain, and arable land and water conservancy are indispensable. Send people to Luoyang to find some masters who can repair water conservancy from Gongfu. many advanced tools”

"Please!!"

The subordinate officials worshiped with their bodies.

Yuan Yao frowned, and said: "These days, you will do as I said, as for me, prepare a carriage and manpower for me, I will go to the place again in person, in the name of my cousin, Take a look at the situation in various places, contact the officials, and prepare some gifts for me, it’s fair to say that courtesy will be reciprocated!”

"Please!"

Yuan Yao squinted his eyes, looked at the map in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

"Hahaha! Did he really say that?" In the backyard, Sima Yi almost jumped up excitedly, and the subordinate officials in front of him also smiled flatteringly: "Young Master is so talkative. Yes, just now, he has left the State Shepherd's Mansion, saying that he is going to contact the relationship and see the progress of the government orders in various places."

"Wonderful! Good!" Sima Yi laughed.

"Shaojun is smart, which is the blessing of the lord." The subordinate officials did not forget to flatter.

Sima Yi waved his hand and told his subordinates to leave, but he couldn't help laughing. His first wife, Mrs. Zhang, was busy at the side. Seeing him smiling so happily, she felt a little strange. She knew that her husband She has always been calm and calm, and she has never seen him lose his composure like this. However, seeing her husband happy, she is naturally happy too.

"Husband, why are you so happy?" Mrs. Zhang asked curiously.

"Madam, I made a big mistake." Sima Yi said with a smile.

"Ah? You've made a big mistake, and you're still so happy? Could it be that you've lost your mind and gone crazy?" Naturally, Mrs. Zhang didn't believe his words, snorted coldly, and said, "If you don't want to tell me, just tell me, why bother? "

Sima Yi held her hand, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Madam, I really made a mistake. I originally wanted to turn a little Kongming into a little Zhongda, but it didn't work out for a while. stop"

"Forcibly created a Zhuge Zhongda."

"Hahaha!"
