Sun Ce reminded him very timely. The military plotters did not know that killing Hu Ling was out of Sun Ce's mouth. They thought it was Zhuge Liang's idea. They thought that a young Shu Zuo dared to propose a plan when he first arrived. They were really a little too confident. As soon as Zhuge Liang finished his words, someone jumped out to refute it.

"You said you were killing Hu Ling, would you only kill Hu people in Humen? Youzhou people won't kill?"

Zhuge Liang was neither too slow nor too slow, and was polite. "The name is said to be great. Yuan Shao's cavalry was dominated by the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan people, and they were all Hu people, so it was called killing Hu. Yuyang and Dai County also had Han cavalry, but they were the main assault forces, and they were not very likely to be a ranger, and they were not many people. They were not the main body, so they could ignore it."

Another army plotted against it and said, "Even if it was to kill Hu, it would be inappropriate. The Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei people and Wuhuan people were different. They had long been vassal states of the Han Dynasty and could not treat them as Hu people."

Zhuge Liang smiled, and before he could speak, Shi Tao laughed and said, "This is wrong. Yuan Shao claimed to be an edict, and his intention to be unjust is obvious. How could the Southern Xiongnu be considered a vassal state of the Han Dynasty? You refute it for the sake of refuting it, which is simply absurd."

The Junmou was embarrassed, raised his sleeves and covered his face, but did not walk away, and sat down and listened to his colleagues' ridicule. Zhuge Liang saw it, and couldn't help laughing, bowing and saying, "Please continue asking questions, brothers."

"I wonder if Kong Ming, although a family of five is a general rule, there are five people in a household, and a single husband and wife, and with children, usually only two or three people are serving. Now there are five people in a state of exemption from five people. Isn't that too much? And the ages and the amount of money are different, so men and women are not equal to young and strong. Isn't it inappropriate to do this? Moreover, a man and a hundred acres are an ancient system, and Yuzhou is a narrow land, so how can a household have hundreds of acres?"

"The exemption of service, verbal money, and land rent are just for rewards. Changing one household to five households is also convenient for execution. Those who dare to kill the barbarians are mostly young and strong, so how can women, children, elderly and weak? If ten young and strong attacks together and kill one barbarian, which household will this achievement be given?"

Zhuge Liang talked with ease, with reasonable and clear logic. Sun Ce sat on the second floor, listening quietly, and nodding from time to time. Genius is a genius. Some things are born. This plan was just proposed, and there was no time for Zhuge Liang to carefully consider. He could think of so many questions in a short time and was not panicked when facing the inquiries of military advisers. It can be seen that he is born to do big things.

Sun Ce planned. Zhuge Liang was fifteen years old this year. Thirty years later, he was forty-five years old. With thirty years of experience in government management, he could serve as Situ and master the civil affairs of the world. It was not too late for the age of 45 to be the three ministers, and it was even a little early. Even at the age of fifties in history, it would not be a problem to do ten years. If he combined work and rest and lived longer, he might be able to do one or two more.

Zhuge Situ always sounded a little awkward. Sun Ce laughed in silence, and couldn't help but think of a question. Should we restore the prime minister system? This is not to achieve Zhuge Liang's name as prime minister, but how to adjust the political system. After repeated repetition of the prime minister system, it is easy to form a powerful minister in power, which should be abolished. However, this issue is not urgent and can be considered slowly.

After about half an hour of debate, Zhuge Liang's plan made some detailed adjustments and finally passed. The killing of Hu Ling issued the county and states in the name of the provincial governor's office, and at the same time informed Man Chong, the governor of Yuzhou who was stationed in Yangxia.

After the mission was completed, Zhuge Liang returned to the second floor and reported to Sun Ce.

"How does it feel?" Sun Ce poured a cup of sour sauce to him. "Moisten your throat, and your voice will be smaller in the future. Don't slap your good voice. In the future, it will be terrible to leave a jackal in history books."

Zhuge Liang couldn't help laughing, took the sour sauce and drank it. "It's not clear whether the reason is clear. It's the most reasonable saying. I didn't expect that there would be no obvious omissions after this debate."

"Well, what else?"

"And..." Zhuge Liang thought for a while. "People still have their own opinions and do not follow others. They must know what they want. They cannot expect to be comprehensive. Otherwise, there will be many different opinions and will be confused and will not be able to do anything."

Sun Ce's heart tightened and he subconsciously glanced at Zhuge Liang. It's really a character that determines his destiny. Zhuge Liang is smart, and ordinary people are indeed not his opponent, so he will inevitably be too confident. When he has great power, even if he is wrong, others dare not point it out. Even if he points out it, he cannot defeat his eloquence. Over time, it is almost a natural thing to monopolize the power. This is a bit troublesome.

Seeing that Sun Ce's eyes were wrong, Zhuge Liang's tone suddenly became weaker. "General, am I wrong?"

Sun Ce came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and waved his hand with a smile. "You are right. People do know what they want and cannot follow the crowd. However, the boundary between persistence and stubbornness is difficult to grasp. People will inevitably have times of paranoidness. The more venerable a person is, the more they should be alert to themselves. The harm of ordinary people making mistakes is limited, and the influence of a person making mistakes is as small as one state and one county, and the greater the world, how can they not be cautious?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and agreed, thought for a while, and asked again: "How should we judge when to persevere and when to follow the crowd?"

Sun Ce smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I don't know much either."

"I have a way." Zhang Cheng walked up quickly, and was full of dust. "General, you should prevent your own opinions. You can find a friend who is a friend who is a friend who is a good person. If you can't find a friend who is a little weaker. When you are hesitant, you can temporarily break out of your own thinking and listen to your friend's opinions, so as to avoid the mistake of paranoidness. The Master said: If three people walk, there must be my teacher. This is the meaning."

Seeing that Zhang Cheng and Sun Ce were so casually speaking, Zhuge Liang knew that he was not an ordinary person and quickly saluted. Sun Ce introduced Zhuge Liang to Zhang Cheng and Zhang Cheng to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang hurriedly saluted. He had heard Yan Yan talk about Zhang Cheng a long time ago, but he had never had the chance to meet. He heard that Zhuge Liang was from Xuzhou and now serves as Sun Ce's Shuzuo, Zhang Cheng was also very happy and had a warm conversation with Zhuge Liang. He knew how important the Shuzuo's position was. Xuzhou scholars added another general and would soon be able to go along with Yingchuan people.

Seeing that Zhang Cheng and Zhuge Liang were talking enthusiastically, Sun Ce knew it clearly, but he could only smile bitterly. The great man said that there are no factions in the party and all kinds of strange things. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are interests, there will be groups. In an era when transportation is inconvenient and people's social circles are based on the countryside, it is even more normal to distribute regionally. Agricultural society is born as a society of acquaintances.

"Zhongsi, what's going on in Xuzhou?" Sun Ce coughed and reminded Zhang Cheng not to forget the primary and secondary.

Zhang Cheng also knew that he had lost his composure and quickly saluted. "General, I am so happy."

"What's so happy?"

"After Shen Zhonglang led his troops to Guangling. After Xia Pi, the local aristocratic families were anxious and were pursuing the fleeing Yuzhou family." Zhang Cheng smiled and looked around. He poured a cup of sour sauce from the table. He drank it all, smacked his lips, and then said: "Last year, the navy sealed the river and did not allow Guangling. Xia Pi's aristocratic families went out of the country. They could only watch the merchant ships in Pengcheng. Not only did they not make money, but they also had to buy New Year's goods at high prices. The market prices surged, and the people complained. After Liu He left the country, many rangers spontaneously organized to hunt down the Yuzhou family. Several families that dared to hide the Yuzhou people were besieged, like rats crossing the street, and were in panic all day long."
