Jianxing 13 years, Guanzhong, Jingshui upstream.

After Zhuge Liang returned to Guanzhong half a year ago, he began to govern Guanzhong.Because Guanzhong has long been the front line of the war between the Han and Wei Dynasties, tyranny is rampant, robbers are full, and punishments are not tried.However, the common people suffered from the heavy taxes of Cao Wei and the long-term corvee service, and most of the farmland was abandoned.

First of all, in order to crack down on powerful and unjust officials, Zhuge Liang implemented the "Shu Ke" in various counties and counties in Guanzhong, clearly and severely punishing, and repeated orders and repeated orders.Let Pan Jun be the governor, patrol the counties and counties in Guanzhong, prohibit violence and eliminate rape, punish corrupt officials, and make the lawless people fear.

When Pan Jun visited Xiagui, he met a commoner who sued the county magistrate. After Pan Jun found out the truth, he enforced the law against the county magistrate in public and whipped him to death.And the criminals in the county will be imprisoned together, and they will be dealt with according to the law, and the customs in Guanzhong will be abolished.

Secondly, in order to appease the people and increase the household registration, Zhuge Liang ordered that the people in Guanzhong be exempted from taxes for two years. After that, the taxes will be reduced, and the famous land system will be implemented to attract the hidden households in Guanzhong to come out and register, and the people who hid in the mountains will come out of the mountains one after another.

Under the administration of Zhang Yi, Pang Lin, and Yan Fei, the three prefects, the dark clouds of war finally dissipated over Guanzhong, and the people in Guanzhong returned to normal farming and farming, and a scene full of vitality was hidden in it.

In the end, in order to win the hearts of the scholars, continue to implement Liu Chan's original policy, enlist the scholars in Guanzhong to become officials, and stabilize the hearts of the scholars.

As for water conservancy, Zhuge Liang went to Jingshui many times to observe the water flow, and planned how to dredge Jingshui and Zhengbaiqu.After getting a lot of money, Zhuge Liang ordered to recruit 40,000 people in Jingzhao and Fengyi counties and [-] Han soldiers, a total of [-] people.After the autumn harvest, during the slack season, they went to the upper reaches of the Jingshui River, dug mountains and dikes, and dredged ditches.

The upper reaches of the Jingshui River that Zhuge Liang traveled to today is the source of the Zhengguo Canal water conservancy system.

At this time, in the upper reaches of the Jing River, a large number of people and soldiers wielded hoes, chanted chant, dug mountains, built embankments, and refilled the water in the Jing River into the Zhengbai Canal water conservancy system.

Zhuge Liang looked at the water conservancy map of Zhengbai Canal, and said to the river official: "The dam is built according to the height calculated before, otherwise it would be difficult to introduce Jingshui into Zhengbai Canal. Moreover, Zhengbai Canal is different from Dujiangyan, you must pay attention to it, and you can't compare with each other."

The purpose of repairing Zhengbai Canal is not the same as that of Dujiangyan. Due to the inconvenience of the river, Dujiangyan often causes the Minjiang River to flood and flood both sides of the river.The Zhengbai Canal is different. The core of the Zhengbai Canal's water conservancy system is to use the Jing River with high sediment content as the water source to irrigate the saline-alkali land on the north bank of the Wei River, so that the saline-alkali land can quickly become fertile land for cultivation.

The consequence of this is sediment deposition, channel silting and constant maintenance.In particular, the area where the Zhengguo Canal flows has a small elevation difference, resulting in slower water flow, easier deposition of sediment, and easier silting of the channel. In the medium and long term, the accumulation of sediment will become heavier and heavier, requiring a stable government to send personnel to maintain it.

And because of its silt deposits, the canal is constantly raised, making it difficult for the Jingshui to flow into the canal smoothly. Therefore, the place where the Jingshui enters the canal has been constantly changing in history.Therefore, Zhuge Liang's dredging of the Zhengbai Canal this time is to let the water from the Jing River flow into the canal and scour the canal.Supplemented by manual dredging, the water conservancy system of Zhengbaiqu can be reused.

"Prime Minister, please rest assured. I have traveled to and from the Zhengguo Canal several times and inspected the canal without any problems. Moreover, I calculated the dams myself, and my dog ​​inspected them, and they will be correct." Li Xing, the river officer who repaired Dujiangyan, replied.

In order to dredge Zheng Baiqu, Zhuge Liang specially transferred the river official who repaired Dujiangyan in the Han Dynasty to Guanzhong to supervise the matter.He still trusts Li Xing's ability, especially in the past few years when Dahan vigorously built new water conservancy facilities, most of the technical problems of water conservancy projects were reviewed by Li Xing.

He also asked about the progress of Zheng Baiqu's construction. Zhuge Liang saw that it was getting late and planned to return to Chang'an to handle political affairs.

Zhuge Liang looked at Ma Qi, and said: "A certain Guanzhong is busy with affairs, so I can't come here often for inspection. Ma Shuicao, your governor, Zheng Baiqu, will report to Chang'an every day. It must be repaired according to the planned construction period, and the dredging will be completed before the spring plowing. If If you have any difficulties, you need to report to someone in time, and if there is a shortage of manpower, we will transfer [-] soldiers to you."

As a water conservancy officer, Ma Qidun felt the heavy burden on his shoulders, and said, "40,000 people is enough. Qi will live up to the prime minister's entrustment. Before the spring plowing, the Zhengbai Canal will be dredged."

While talking, Zhuge Liang walked towards the foot of the mountain, and said: "Zheng Baiqu is the most important thing for my great man to govern Guanzhong. There are more than [-] hectares of fertile land, enough to support hundreds of thousands of people. My army stationed in it will allow my great man to go east." There is no need to worry about going out, and there is no need to transport grain and grass for thousands of miles from Bashu and Lianglong. The land in Guanzhong can support more than [-] soldiers of our great Han."

After a pause, Zhuge Liang continued to explain: "After the canal is dredged, a canal officer will be appointed, and 800 people will be recruited to guard the Zhengbai Canal."

"No!" Marzi replied.

In the carriage, Yang Yi saw that Zhuge Liang had just boarded the car and handed over the newly arrived information, and said worriedly: "Prime Minister, according to the official document sent by Deng Shuofang, Xianbei Kebi can be assassinated by the assassin Han Long sent by the Wei people. Wei supported Ke Bineng's younger brother to take over the throne, but the leaders of the various ministries under Xianbei's command were not convinced, and the tribes were separated and invaded each other. Our army will not be able to join Ke Bineng to capture Bingzhou, and I am afraid that we will have to find other strategies."

Zhuge Liang spread out the official document, looked at what Deng Ai reported, his thoughts were confused, he didn't know whether it was sorrow or joy.

The sad thing is that the allies who attacked Hedong are gone.The relationship between Dahan and Xianbei is still good. When Dahan pacified Guanzhong, Ke Bineng sent [-] war horses to Dahan as a congratulatory gift, and agreed to attack Bingzhou together.

Fortunately, Xianbei was too powerful, and now Ke Bi Neng died, Xianbei dissipated.It is good news for the Han Dynasty in the long-term, otherwise Xianbei will be like the Huns, and will endanger the border of the Han Dynasty in the future.

After a long silence, Zhuge Liang said: "Submit this official document to His Majesty for his review, and let His Majesty decide on the matter of my Great Han's northern border."

"Submitted to His Majesty for review?" Yang Yi asked in confusion.

Zhuge Liang leaned against the carriage, pulled up a blanket to keep warm, closed his eyes and said, "Otherwise, why would your majesty accept the daughter of Xianbei from the Yuan family as his wife? Your majesty's thoughts are far beyond what you can see, Mr. Wei. The matter of the Han and Hu is my big man." It is the most important thing after Ni Wei. You can just submit it."

"No!" Yang Yi replied.

Zhuge Liang closed his eyes and rested his mind, and asked casually: "By the way, what have the court been busy with in recent months?"

Yang Yi spread out another official document and said: "Your Majesty went deep into Hanjia and conquered the Moshui Qiang. Liao Li sent a plan to make the Yak Qiang and the Yi people vengeful, and the barbarians in Hanjia and Wenshan counties were in civil strife. Your Majesty specially ordered Luzhi During the holidays, he served as the captain of Huyi and Qiang, and dealt with the affairs of the barbarians in the three counties of Hanjia, Yuexi, and Wenshan."

"Shang Shuling continues to implement the famous land system, and thousands of new households in Yizhou are hidden households in various counties. The specific number is undetermined, or we can know it later. His Majesty appointed Dahonglu as Taichang, who is in charge of the etiquette of the Han Dynasty. Du Taichang thought the Dahan It is necessary to set up a historian, and His Majesty appointed Qiao Zhou as Taishiling..."

Listening to what happened in the court, Zhuge Liang fell asleep very peacefully.

Listening to the long breathing, Yang Yi looked up at Zhuge Liang who was asleep, and carefully pulled a blanket on him to cover his body.

Then got out of the carriage, Yang Yi told the coachman: "Prime Minister Shang has fallen asleep, slow down, don't be in a hurry."

The coachman nodded slightly and slowed down.The surrounding soldiers also subconsciously lowered the sound of the horse's hooves, for fear of disturbing Zhuge Liang in the car.
