Liu Xie did not immediately agree to Zhuge Liang, but asked him to write a report and submit it to the Situ Mansion for review.

Moreover, this matter cannot be directly operated by Zhuge Liang, so Zhao Xiangyang Jun should be allowed to come forward.

We must follow rules in everything, especially those like Zhuge Liang who are prone to big things and attract wind. We cannot easily leave a word for others.

Judging from Yang Jun's performance, he still took care of Zhuge Liang and shared a lot of responsibilities.

Zhuge Liang agreed.

He never wanted to bypass Yang Jun, but just wanted to listen to the emperor's opinions first.

Handan is a famous city in Hebei. In a sense, its status is higher than that of Yecheng and is the core of Jizhou, not just the county seat of Handan County or the capital of Zhao State.

He wanted to re-plan Handan on a large scale, and he wanted to hear the emperor's thoughts.

Liu Xie did not have much experience in urban planning, but he knew an important principle: brainstorming. No one is an all-rounder, but by focusing everyone's wisdom, most of the mistakes can be avoided.

The Situ Mansion came forward to review this planning plan, which was a process of brainstorming.

In addition, he wanted to teach Zhuge Liang something more.

Don’t think you can settle everything just because you are outstanding and ignore the opinions of others.

This is the most common mistake that smart people make, and Zhuge Liang is a typical example.

The king and his minister discussed the future of Handan City, and inevitably moved to the entire Jizhou plan.

Jizhou is a large plain, suitable for farming. There are many rivers and water conservancy is also very developed. However, Jizhou also has the shortcomings of Jizhou, which are mainly reflected in two points.

First, the administrative divisions are complex and intertwined, which is extremely inconvenient for management. First, most rivers travel from west to east and pass through the entire territory, but communication between them is inconvenient.

Therefore, traffic in the north and south directions depends on land, that is, the avenue at the foot of the Taihang Mountains. In addition, land traffic in the eastern plains is blocked by a large number of rivers, and is in an embarrassing situation.

This avenue on the eastern foot of Taihang has a long history, but it is somewhat unable to keep up with the development of the times.

Zhuge Liang proposed to address these two points.

First, re-plan, focus on key cities, and minimize unnecessary troubles.

The reason why the boundaries of counties and states are so complicated is that in addition to the balance of economic strength, they are more restraining each other and preventing a certain county from having too strong strength and not losing the tail.

Now that the court has controlled Jizhou and appointed four generals, the hidden dangers that are too big to be eliminated in the county and state are no longer there, so there is no need to consider this way.

The second is to comprehensively treat the rivers in the east to form a crisscrossing water network, making the internal water transportation more convenient.

Water transportation is the lowest-cost transportation method and the most labor-saving way for bulk materials. A sound water network will have a significant impact on the development of Jizhou and lay the foundation for further economic growth in a few years.

The two people have basically similar views, but the only difference lies in some details.

And these details are exactly what we need to brainstorm.

Such a big project cannot be decided by just patting one's head, or even Zhuge Liang's Handan Order can make suggestions.

Zhuge Liang considered how to give full play to the special status of Handan, play an important role in this round of planning, and create opportunities for development in the next few years or even decades.

At this point, he and Yang Jun coincided with each other.

The report written by Zhuge Liang and signed by Zhao Xiang Yang Jun was quickly submitted to Situ Mansion.

After the Situ Mansion conducted a preliminary review, it was believed that the matter involved a large number of soil and water projects, and it was necessary to let the Sikong Mansion participate in it in depth. Therefore, he asked for an imperial edict to arrange for Sikong Zhou Zhong to come to Jizhou.

Liu Xie agreed and issued an edict, ordering Sikong Zhou Zhong and relevant personnel to go on the journey.

——

Zhang Zhao got out of the car, and when he saw Sun Ce, he saw Zhou Yu at first sight, and his heart suddenly became suffocated.

But he quickly calmed down and brushed his clothes calmly.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu stepped forward together and greeted Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao nodded. "When did Gongjin come here?"

"Just a few days later." Zhou Yu looked at Zhang Zhao with a smile. "I heard from the Marquis of Wu that Mr. Zhang was doing good deeds in the Bohai Sea and had great achievements. The scholars and officials returned to him, and Yu even admired him. He wanted to go and visit him, but Junhou said

Mr. Zhang is coming, and I will congratulate you here."

When it comes to political achievements, Zhang Zhao was a little confused.

On the one hand, he did not admit that the Bohai moral governance failed. After all, everyone lived a stable life and lived with etiquette, which was almost a gentleman country advocated by Confucianism.

Against the backdrop of more than a dozen turbulent situations, such a scene is rare and soothing.

In a sense, this is the ideal situation of Confucianism.

Don’t worry about being weak, but worry about being uneven.

On the other hand, he had to admit that the recovery speed of Bohai was not as fast as that of other counties and states, and the gap was not visible for the time being, and it would only grow bigger and bigger.

When he entered Handan, his feeling was even more obvious.

Even the simplicity he was proud of became shabby in the eyes of the people of Handan, resulting in changes in the mentality of the followers to the naked eye.

Facing Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao laughed faintly. "Gongjin is not afraid of difficulties, goes deep into the northern part of the world, and is committed to his achievements. He is still in the mood to go to Bohai to see us a group of pedantic scholars entertain themselves?"

Zhou Yu shook his head seriously. "I am sorry that Zhang Zhao's words are not allowed to agree. I am going to Mobei by the order. Although I have the intention to make achievements, it is not limited to this. In the future, I am exploring the situation in Mobei.

Provide reference for guarding the border. In the past, I was looking for the lost Chinese people and leading them back to civilization."

Zhang Zhao was stunned and his eyes focused. "Lost Chinese people?"

Zhou Yu said the tribe he saw in Mobei.

Although he did not insist that those people were survivors of the Shang Dynasty, the evidence he presented was enough to associate Zhang Zhao in that direction.

Confucianism is not known for its rigorous logic, and far-fetchedness is the habit.

Zhang Zhao was moved when he heard that some Shang Dynasty lingered in the northern part of the world.

To put it carefully, the origin of the Confucian school has a lot to do with Shang. Confucius himself was a survivor of the Shang Dynasty and his ancestor was Shang Tang, one of the sage kings.

"So, Gongjin's journey has immeasurable merits."

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It's a pity that I'm superficial in my knowledge and know nothing about the study of philology. Although I feel that the language of those tribes is almost ancient, I don't have the ability to distinguish it. If there are great scholars who are proficient in philology, they may be able to hear it from them.

Lianshan, Guizang's original text.”

"Lianshan, Guizang?" Zhang Zhao was shocked.

"I guess." Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Those tribes have no books or scholars, only stories passed down by word of mouth. The one who remembers these stories is the wizards in the clan. They use divination to predict good and bad luck, which looks a bit like ancient Yi.

resemblance."

Zhang Zhao's eyes rolled and nodded repeatedly. "It's very likely, it's very likely. If Lianshan and Guizang can be reappeared in the world, this is auspiciousness of the Confucian school. Gongjin, you will be here next time

when?"

"After the Chinese New Year," Zhou Yu said: "It is most convenient to take a boat north. It is just a longer journey and can only arrive at at least three months, and it will take at least one year to go."

"This is okay, this is okay. Su Wu has spent nineteen years on herding sheep in Beihai. If he could find Lianshan and Guizang, it would be worth it even if he lived in Mobei for ten years."
