Three Kingdoms

Zhuge Liang stood on the southern outskirts of Jiangyang City in Jianwei County, south of Jiangzhou.

This is the pre-selected new village location.

The weather has been very good recently, it can be called sunny and windy.

The previous turmoil and disputes in Qianwei did not leave many traces on this place.

Before Zhuge Liang arrived in Jiangyang, he had already received news from Chengdu.

It is said that there are rows of heads erected on both sides of the road outside Chengdu, and from time to time, ordinary people throw garbage on the heads. The people were not afraid of those heads, nor did they think Xu Shu was cruel. The heads chopped off in Chengdu were basically just a shock to the gentry.

Those who are afraid and worried are also these wealthy squires.

As for ordinary people, they think this is a good thing. People basically believe that the more corrupt officials are killed, the better. The same goes for corrupt gentry, and the more corrupt officials are killed, the better.

Zhuge Liang didn't have any special "kindness". Sometimes he felt that Xu Shu had spared his hand, and there were still too few heads to form a skeleton avenue.

Some squires just deserve to be killed.

Kindness should be reserved for real people, not for those squires who claim to be people all day long, but in the end their actions are anything but common.

When officials gain power and wealth, they must bear responsibilities. Those who do not do well, are derelict in their duties and are corrupt will be dismissed from their posts, or their homes will be confiscated, or their families will be beheaded or their clans will be exterminated.

What about the squire?

The squire also gained power and wealth, so why should he be exempted? Just pretend that you belong to this family or that family and you can hide away without any responsibility?

Zhuge Liang believed that a bowl of water should be balanced.

Moreover, these wealthy squires are easy to forget, and in a few years a new group of profit-minded people will be born. Therefore, Zhuge Liang even thought that he could imitate the practice of the Hu people and make specimens of the heads of people involved in some major cases, embalm them and preserve them properly, so that they could be displayed from time to time.

After all, Wang Mang’s head can be used as a specimen, so there’s no reason why the heads of these wealthy country squires are more valuable and cannot be used as specimens?

Zhuge Liang was wearing a gray robe and had a calm face. If others saw him, they would inevitably praise him in their hearts as a handsome young man and a handsome man in troubled times, but no one would have guessed that he was just thinking about some bloody thoughts.

After Fei Qian's training, Zhuge Liang grew faster, and in terms of people's livelihood and economy, he became closer to Fei Qian's thinking model of later generations.

The current situation of the civil affairs in Sichuan and Sichuan, which is based on copycat villages and Han Chinese cities, is undoubtedly a huge waste of people's power...

Well, this is also a concept that Zhuge Liang confirmed after exchanging letters with Fei Qian.

Xu Shu has been in Sichuan and Shu for a long time, but he has been promoting various reforms in Sichuan and Shu. Although there has been some progress, it is still too slow. Zhuge Liang reported this problem to Xu Shu at that time, and what Xu Shu took Zhuge Liang to see around Chengdu was the mixed living situation between Han people and various tribes in Sichuan and Shu.

As the first Sichuan-Sichuan war between Ba and Di people and the second Sichuan-Sichuan joint war between Di people and Ba people came to an end, the leadership of these Di people and Ba people in Sichuan and Shu has been completely disrupted. The tribal leaders who dominate the mountains and forests and are dissatisfied with the king's transformation are dead, and the rest are not very popular. Therefore, Sichuan and Shu's original difficulties in the southern barbarians have been reduced. Now they are the Han family, or There are wealthy gentry families in these places that have become Chinese.

Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes.

Verify carefully, but don't let your hands shake when operating.

Accurate to the point.

This will be built as the first "demonstration village" for the reform and development of Nanzhong.

Well, this word "demonstration" is very useful for Hussar.

Jiangyang.

As the name suggests, there are mountains and water here.

Standing here, Zhuge Liang could see horses grazing leisurely on the hillside in twos and threes.

At first, Zhuge Liang looked down upon Sichuan and Yunnan horses. After all, he had seen too many tall horses from Xiliang in Chang'an, but now that he has arrived in Sichuan and Sichuan, Zhuge Liang has begun to like these short Sichuan and Yunnan horses. Heartbroken.

According to local conditions, these Sichuan and Yunnan horses have become accustomed to the terrain in southern Sichuan and Sichuan, so for the people in this place, they are good horses. Xiliang horses are of course good, but when it comes to mountains and forests, they are not as nimble as these Sichuan horses and Yunnan horses on rugged roads.

The huge body of the Xiliang horse is easy to get stuck in a place where the Sichuan and Yunnan horses can pass smoothly. The shorter fur is also easily scratched by the branches and thorns of the bushes in the mountain forest. The Sichuan and Yunnan horses have long fur. Hou doesn't have this problem.

This is just like the residential model in Chang'an, which may not be applicable in Sichuan and Shu.

Now what Zhuge Liang wants to promote is to "remove strongholds and establish rural areas", which is his own thing. I learned it from Qiao Qi Fei Qian, but went a step further.

It would be great if the big players in Nanzhong are willing to cooperate. If they are not willing, Zhuge Liang would not mind launching the third "Supreme Agreement"...

In the Bazhong and Badong areas, the power of the Di people has been greatly weakened, and they are gradually migrating.

At first, Xu Huang was a little worried that the prepared camps for the relocated people were not enough, but after Zhuge Liang went there, he not only cleared Xu Huang's thoughts, but also guided the officials in Badong on how to operate.

In fact, it was the skill that Zhuge Liang learned in Wuguan. It was promoted in a rolling manner. Each wave of refugees came, and each official organized a division of labor. They only did their own division of labor, while the general manager checked for deficiencies and filled in the gaps, from medicine to clothing. From food to utensils, one wave left and then the next, until all the dispersed people in Badong, Bazhong were cleared out.

As for the food problem, Zhuge Liang is actually not too worried.

Chengdu has had good harvests in recent years.

The key is that food must be used for practical purposes. If there is corruption at the top and bottom, stealing and selling, no matter how much food and grass is allocated, it will not be enough. But if it can be really used for the people, there is no need to use it one after another, and then the people will only hear the noise. Just can't see the rain?

"Remember it," Zhuge Liang ordered, "over there, you can transplant some mulberry trees." 』

The clerk stood half a step behind Zhuge Liang, taking notes, and asked: "Are you going to plant mulberry trees in all your work?" Do you want to plant some other trees? I saw that there are willow trees planted beside the canals in Chengdu, they are beautiful..."

Zhuge Liang shook his head, "If the people think they want to grow something good in the future, they will plant it themselves... But now, only mulberry trees are planted... A clothing workshop will be built here in the future, not only to produce linen, but also silk." , I’m afraid there aren’t enough mulberry trees, so how could there be room to plant other trees? 』

The clerk nodded and asked: "Zhang, I heard that there is a flower called something in Chang'an. It can be used for weaving. It is more comfortable to wear than kudzu and cheaper than silk... Can we grow some here?" 』

Zhuge Liang nodded, shook his head and said: "I have also considered it, but this matter is not my final say..."

The clerk said, "Yes, of course this matter must be reported to the General of the Hussars for a decision." 』

"No, you are wrong..." Zhuge Liang smiled, "My lord really won't care about this matter... This matter must be decided by Zao Sinong. He can do it only if he says it is okay..."

"What? ” The clerk was a little in disbelief, “Is it possible that...this jujube farmer...”

"Farming and animal husbandry are all done by farmers..." Zhuge Liang smiled and seemed to recall something, "Professional people do professional things..."

The biggest impact Fei Qian had on Zhuge Liang was the change in his thinking.

Zhuge Liang is really pitiful in history, but also really hateful.

After all, Mr. Zhou said this...

Zhuge Liang's dictatorial power was forced, but it also caused "no one in Sichuan and Shu" on the one hand, and "the stars in the original five feet fell" on the other hand. If not for this, there were still many people in Cao Wei who cherished the Han dynasty. In the room, Mr. Adou may not have a chance to make a comeback.

But now Zhuge Liang is much more relaxed. Not only does he have Xu Shu's support, but he also doesn't have to worry about military issues. Zhuge only needs to do his own thing well, so he increasingly appreciates the wonderful effect of "division of labor and cooperation" .

This is true in government affairs. People's lives also require "division of labor and cooperation". Let professional people do professional things. Although this seems to be a later concept, in fact, didn't Liu Bang do this in the early Han Dynasty?

"Following the river here, some water conservancy facilities need to be built. The open space must be reserved and cannot be easily occupied..." Zhuge Liang continued to give instructions and asked the clerk to mark it.

In order to meet the needs of building materials for the new villages and counties, Zhuge Liang planned to establish a comprehensive market for building materials in the downstream area of ​​​​Jiangyang near the river. In addition to the general brick and tile fields, there are also wood processing plants for cutting wood, cave dwellings for making lime and soil cement, etc.

In Sichuan and Sichuan, forest resources are very abundant, and along the riverside, on the one hand, there is no need to worry about water, and on the other hand, water transportation can also be used.

"In addition, the wood and bricks in the abandoned villages can also be recycled..." Zhuge Liang continued, "The completely decayed ones can be used for fires, and the still usable ones can also be used in some corners... …』

The process of "removing villages and establishing villages" will inevitably produce a large number of scattered abandoned cottage settlements. The buildings in these residential areas are basically brick and wood structures, and some of the building materials can be recycled after being demolished.

Recycling these stones and wood, combined with building materials shipped from Chengdu and Jiangzhou, can basically meet the construction needs of the first "standard village".

That's right, "Standard Village".

In order to make these Ba people who still have some concerns willing to do so, it is crucial to build "standard villages and villages". Early publicity has been launched. Zhuge Liang made people promise to those who left the village to settle in Xinxiang that they would live in better houses than those in the original village.

The propaganda to encourage these southern barbarians to live in Xinxiang did not take a lot of effort. Compared with Sanfu in Chang'an, or the area near Chengdu, in places like Badannan Zhong in Sichuan, strictly speaking, there is no "middle class", only high-ranking and wealthy squires and poor people who are slightly better than slaves. common people.

Especially the mountain people in the village, some of whom even own their wealth and life as a leader, are only limitedly better than slaves. So for them, there is really no concept of being unable to leave their homeland.

After all, the land belongs to the master, and even the house they live in also belongs to the master. They only have the right to use it, or what is called the right to temporary residence. It's as simple as that. A place to shelter from the wind and rain can be driven away at any time.

Now someone is saying to them: "You work, as long as you work, you will have a new house to live in." This house is better than the one you lived in before, even better than the homes of those noble men..."

This alone is enough to impress them.

They are more suspicious of whether it is a lie.

After all, the previous Han officials bullied them for being illiterate and did not understand these things, and they often played tricks on them.

Although many of them feel unbelievable, for them, they have nothing to lose, and no matter how bad it is, it can't be any worse.

As the second core of Sichuan and Shu, Jiangzhou will assume important responsibilities such as the north-south passage, soldier training, and troop garrisoning in the future, so there is no problem with public security, even because most of the soldiers under the Hussars have learned some skills. Although the basic cultural knowledge is not as good as those of those students, they are still competent in simple records and calculations. Therefore, in the early stages of building "Xinxiang", there is no need to worry too much about the shortcomings of these basic staff of the people.

When there is no war, these soldiers can still seamlessly perform basic civil management and document coordination work.

It is summer now, and the temperature is high, so there is no need to worry about keeping warm outdoors during the construction of Xinxiang. All you need to do is build some simple straw sheds. Those laborers who returned from the road construction in Nanzhong are working near Jiangyang of hard work here.

Xu Huang's soldiers patrolled the construction site. Many of these soldiers have stayed in Sanfu, Chang'an for more than a year, and have participated in the construction and management of some refugee camps. Therefore, it is not difficult for them to supervise the establishment of Xinxiang in the southern suburbs of Hanyang.

Therefore, after Zhuge Liang surveyed the terrain, this huge area in the southern suburbs of Hanyang turned into a large construction site, and all work was carried out in an orderly manner.

There was an endless flow of vehicles and queues transporting each other, with flags representing different materials or personnel fluttering in the wind. On the one hand, the soldiers on the high platform observed the situation on the ground, and on the other hand, they conveyed Zhuge Liang's instructions through semaphores.

This is the method in the army, just like mobilizing troops and forming formations.

This is the new change Zhuge Liang brought to the construction of Xinxiang.

In the past, if a convoy transporting a certain material arrived, people would need to rush through the entire construction site, passing through a lot of areas where it was unclear whether it was safe or dangerous, and then find the person in charge of a certain material among the huge crowd, and then quickly The boss has to ask the big boss, and the big boss has to ask the general manager. If there is a problem in any part of the process, then the entire transport fleet will be waiting!

Then you will find that at the construction site, a certain building material is gone, and you have to stop work and wait. Then the fleet transporting the shortage building materials is stuck at the entrance and cannot be delivered...

Now, each team has its own flag, and each factory also has its own different flag. Materials such as wood, masonry, sand and soil are also replaced by flags of different colors. As long as you look at it from the high platform, it is clear at a glance what materials are missing and what materials are coming from outside.

Zhuge Liang used military methods to coordinate construction, almost showing a construction speed that no one in Sichuan and Shu had ever imagined!

In just a few days, on the flat ground in the center of Xinxiang, the outline of a village has already been initially revealed!

In the past, within two or three months, it was impossible to see anything. Moreover, even if there was an outline, the surrounding area was a mess. Mud, sand, masonry, and wood were everywhere, and the craftsmen were working like headless flies. , I don’t know what I want to do now, and I don’t know what I want to do next...

As a standard Xinxiang, in addition to meeting people's livelihood needs, the most important thing is to be commercially forward-looking. So standard villages actually have some specific divisions of labor, such as those focusing on farming, and those focusing on sideline business or animal husbandry, etc. But for Jiangyang, because it is the first, many have to have , like a template.

The cultivated land is spread along the gentle ground on both sides of the road. It has been measured in advance, set up field ridges, and divided into sizes. These farmland will become basic farmland and can be transferred and sold, but reduction of encroachment is not allowed, and if it is abandoned, it will be directly recovered and redistributed. As the most basic food in Xinxiang, these cultivated lands can only grow grain crops. Additional cultivated land can be developed by the people themselves, with much fewer restrictions and no specific planting requirements.

The livestock land is on the hillside and valley, relatively far away from the villages and main roads. On the one hand, it isolates people and animals to prevent mutual infection. On the other hand, it is also for the convenience of livestock care and better utilization of livestock manure.

As for workshops and the like, they are farther away and distributed in the downstream area. These workshops will inevitably produce various noises and produce some waste and wastewater. Of course, they must be kept away from residential areas.

As for the residential areas in Xinxiang, they were modeled after those in Chang'an and Pingyang, with some changes due to the actual needs of Sichuan and Shu.

The ones in Pingyang, Chang'an, are considered "minor houses", while the ones in Xinxiang are more like "minzhai". The residential buildings designed by Zhuge Liang are actually somewhat like the earth buildings of later generations. Square or rectangular, the first floor of the house has no windows on the exterior wall, and the windows in all rooms open inwards.

Residential houses are connected to each other, leaving only two front and rear doors to construct the entire residential building system. All residential buildings are two-story. If materials permit, or if there is demand from the public at a later stage, they can be added to three stories or higher.

Compared with the new structural system designed by Zhuge Liang, the original Sichuan-Sichuan copycats were simply weak...
