Chapter 484 Solution to the Rich Clan
After Zhuge Liang returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yang Yi expressed his dissatisfaction to him immediately. Because there was no one else around, Yang Yi expressed his disapproval of Ma Su very nakedly.
"Prime Minister! Ma Su took risks with his troops without any concern for the consequences. Are you really relieved to let such a person command the military power of the world?"
"If you ask me, this position of general must still belong to you. Apart from you, I can't agree with anyone who leads the army."
"Wei Gong, this is a national matter, don't act out of emotion." Zhuge Liang frowned at this. He found that Yang Yi's dissatisfaction with Ma Su seemed to be beyond his imagination.
It shouldn't be. I asked Yang Yi and Ma Su to never have much interaction. The conflict between the two should not be intense. But now looking at Yang Yi's obsessive attitude towards Ma Su, it is obvious that the dissatisfaction has been accumulating for a long time.
Should we say that Yang Yi was relying on his talent and arrogance to act on his own initiative, or should we say that Ma Su sought death and caused trouble for Yang Yi?
Zhuge Liang had a headache about this, but he still gave Yang Yi a few words of advice. But Yang Yi was still nagging about this, saying that she was unwilling to work under Ma Su.
He didn't change his mind until Yang Yi left.
When Yang Yi walked out of the door, he happened to see Ma Di coming to report to Zhuge Liang. After the two met at the door, Yang Yi snorted coldly at Ma Su and walked away.
This gesture made Ma Su confused. After seeing Zhuge Liang, Ma Su asked immediately.
"Prime Minister, did Yang Yi take any medicine today? Why does he look so angry?"
"Wei Gong... is still too arrogant." Zhuge Liang waved his hands helplessly and did not explain much to Ma Su. However, Ma Di could probably guess what Zhuge Liang's attitude was.
Yang Yi mistook me for Wei Yan and seemed very hostile to me.
In history, Yang Yi and Wei Yan were really a strange couple in the Shu Han Dynasty. One has low emotional intelligence and a bad temper, while the other is arrogant and domineering.
The two never dealt with each other since they met, and Wei Yan even drew a knife to scare Yang Yi. And Yang Yi didn't give in. After Zhuge Liang's death, he took matters into his own hands and led his troops to kill Wei Yan's entire family.
After hacking Wei Yan to death, Yang Yi was still angry and stepped on Wei Yan's head and cursed. The dignified general of Zhenbei died in the hands of his own people.
Then Yang Yi returned to Chengdu and was demoted to a commoner, and soon died in prison.
In a sense, the two of them ended up happily...
Um? etc?
"Yang Yi never takes the overall situation into consideration, and is also motivated...I should be happy to be remembered by such a good pig teammate." Ma Su suddenly thought of something, and he suddenly became enlightened.
Okay, okay, Yang Yi, from now on you will go on expeditions with me!
Seeing Ma Su's inexplicable smile, Zhuge Liang frowned and said.
"Youchang, Wei Gong is a member of your own family. Don't get angry and chop him off like Li Yan."
"What's more, he is in charge of the Military Affairs Department and does a very good job in intelligence work. No one can replace him... If you can succeed in several risky moves, Wei Gong's help is very important!"
Do you really think that the Wei army will collapse so quickly? This is all the result of Yang Yi's involvement for several years. During the years when he led the Military Council in Longyou, the Han Dynasty's detailed work had a great impact on Guanzhong.
Every time Ma Di tried to commit suicide, the detailed work of the Military Council quickly denounced the Wei army loudly. "Our army is defeated" and "the general is dead" are all Yang Yi's masterpieces.
This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang has been reluctant to replace Yang Yi. Although he is very arrogant and does not get along well with his colleagues, he is really capable.
"Don't worry! Prime Minister! I know for sure that I won't do anything to my colleagues." Ma Su promised, patting his chest, but Zhuge Liang didn't quite believe it.
Ma Su had promised him before that he would never seek death again, but he didn't fart loudly. So he had begun to consider letting Fei Yi go to Ma Su's general's residence full-time to mediate the conflict between the two.
After some warning, Zhuge Liang and Ma Di also began to discuss business matters. Because a large number of ministers and aristocratic families moved to Chang'an, many things became a lot more complicated. Many new problems have also emerged, requiring re-planning and handling.
The most important one is that as a large number of Yizhou officials moved here, they also began to try to purchase land in Guanzhong. After all, since they want to compete for the merit of serving the dragon, they naturally cannot stay in Shu.
Only by being able to speak in court can one's influence be expanded.
However, this action seemed inappropriate to Zhuge Liang and Ma Su. They were not willing to watch the Yizhou faction become stronger again.
"Youchang, what do you think?" Zhuge Liang touched his chin and looked at Ma Su calmly.
"Prime Minister, the power of the gentry in Guanzhong is weak. This is the time to expand the influence of the imperial court. If the Yizhou faction gets involved too deeply at this time, I'm afraid it will be too big again." Ma Su spread his hands and quickly put forward his own ideas. .
"So it's better to set restrictions and only allow the possession of a specified amount of land. If you want more land, you have to exchange it for land elsewhere!"
"In this way, we can not only check the wealth of the Yizhou faction, but also allow the court to collect part of the cultivated land in Shu as a reward. After all, many soldiers in the army are not willing to settle in Guanzhong, so the court will also give them Yizhou The reward..."
Ma Di has been in command of the army for many years, and he still understands the demands of the army relatively well. Many soldiers in Yizhou are eager to return to their hometowns and ask for land instead of living in Guanzhong, where it is difficult for their families to move here.
Although in the context of Guanzhong's need for population, it is more in the interest of the court to keep more Shu soldiers in Guanzhong. However, Ma Su still prefers to give the soldiers a choice. After all, they are all veterans who have worked hard for the Han for many years.
Zhuge Liang didn't say anything about this. He also had to consider Ma Di's thoughts.
"But in this case, someone needs to return to Chengdu to take charge and be responsible for checking the acres..."
Now most of the non-Yizhou officials have followed to Guanzhong, and Yizhou once again has a larger number of local officials. If we don't send someone to specifically check this, it will be easy to conceal the report.
"Prime Minister! Let me go! I can do all these things!" Ma Su's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly smelled the smell of suicide.
This kind of offending and thankless work is what Ma Su longs for most. If he didn't get involved, Ma Su wouldn't be able to afford his high insurance premium.
"This... we'll discuss it later." Zhuge Liang saw Ma Di's excited eyes, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and waved his hand.
"Before that, as a hussar general, you are the only general in the army who has the authority to open a palace, and you have a more important thing to do."
"What's up?"
"disarmament!"
