Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 6 Qianlong Emerges from the Abyss, Liu Bei Becomes the County Magistrate

Chen Ji was in a good mood.

Among the county captains of the nine counties in Pingyuan County, only Liu Bei, the county captain, is seriously performing his duties.

Now he is helping Chen Ji get rid of Gao Tangling, the black sheep who colluded with the Yellow Turban.

Chen Ji didn't pay much attention to Liu Bei at the beginning. When Liu Ziping recommended Liu Bei to Chen Ji, he only said Liu Bei was brave.

At that time, the Gaotang county captain appointed by Chen Ji died three times due to various reasons within a month. Chen Ji was forced to appoint Liu Bei as the Gaotang county captain because no one was available.

The original intention was to hope that Liu Bei could last longer, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to give himself a big gift!
After being ambushed by the Yellow Turban, ordinary county captains would sigh and sigh, but Liu Bei took the opportunity to greet the county soldiers one by one, and even wove straw sandals for the county soldiers who lost their shoes when they were defeated.

This group of county soldiers usually deal with high-ranking county officials. When they see officials, they have to pretend to be grandchildren. Where have they met a boss who is as close to the people as Liu Bei?
What's more, because the straw sandals he wove didn't fit his feet, Liu Bei immediately found straw slivers, and stubbornly adjusted the size of the straw sandals of the county soldiers before returning to the city.

The disciples of General Lu Zhonglang, the county lieutenant personally appointed by Prime Minister Ping Yuan, the identity of the "clan clan of the Han family" who was intentionally or unintentionally heard, the identity and past deeds of the former general He Jinmen, etc., made the county soldiers even more I think Liu Bei, the county lieutenant, is quite extraordinary.

Before returning to Gaotang County, the two hundred county soldiers almost all had a good impression of Liu Bei.

As a result, Gao Tangling was confused, and Liu Bei used force to hold him back!
Liu Bei didn't take credit for it: "This time we were able to eradicate traitors for the country, it's all because of Chen Xiang's skillful arrangements!"

Chen Ji laughed and stroked his beard lightly: "Xuande is modest and generous, like a gentleman! Now that the position of Gaotangling is vacant, can Xuande have someone to recommend?"

Recommend talents?

How can I recommend a talented person!

Liu Bei was slightly taken aback, and when he was about to shake his head, he suddenly saw the smile on the corner of Chen Ji's mouth.

At this moment, Liu Bei understood.

This is Chen Xiang giving a chance!
"Chen Xiang!" Liu Bei took a step forward and bowed his hands: "In the past, Mao Sui recommended himself to Lord Pingyuan and lobbied the King of Chu to relieve the crisis in Handan. Liu Bei is not talented, so he would like to follow Mao Sui's recommendation and take the post of Gao Tang Ling!"

Liu Bei cupped his hands and bowed, feeling a little apprehensive.

If it is wrong, then this Gaotang County can't stay any longer!

Chen Ji did not immediately agree, but asked solemnly: "Xuande, if you become the Gaotang Commander, how do you plan to govern this Gaotang County?"

Seeing that Chen Ji intends to take the school entrance examination, Liu Bei knew that he would agree, and said without hesitation: "If I become the Gao Tang Ling, I will be diligent in civil and military affairs. At the same time, I will recruit soldiers and horses, stockpile grass and grain, and eliminate the Yellow Turban bandits in the territory. ; On the one hand, raise and live, benefit the people, help the people to reclaim good land, and raise six animals."

"There are people who commit crimes and crimes, and they should be restrained and punished with good laws; there are talented and virtuous people in the field, and prepare gifts to personally invite them."

"In this way, the officials of Gaotang County will be able to rule Qingping, and the people will not suffer from hunger and cold inside, and there will be no bandits outside."

Chen Ji stroked his beautiful beard, and looked at Liu Bei with a little more surprise in his eyes.

Although Liu Bei's answer was a bit rusty, being able to blurt it out proved that Liu Bei had carefully thought about these principles in his daily life.

"This Liu Bei is actually a genius!" Chen Ji admired secretly.

Nowadays, among the county officials in Pingyuan County, Chen Ji can't use many people, and even fewer are talented. Even the county magistrate is concurrently held by Chen Ji's son Chen Qun.

Chen Ji handed the seal of Gaotang Order to Liu Bei, and his words were three points more severe: "Liu Bei, since you have the heart to serve the country and the people, then the truth will give you a chance. From now on, you will be the Gaotang Order, the county magistrate You and the county lieutenant can be promoted by yourself. I hope you will not forget your true heart, diligently implement good governance, and don't let the truth be disappointed!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and took Gao Tang Ling's seal with trembling hands: "Liu Bei, follow the orders of Prime Minister Chen!"

Since the crusade against the Yellow Turbans began, the highest official position Liu Bei had ever held was the Xiami Chancellor who followed Wuqiu Yi to fight against the Xiapi bandits and was awarded the title of Xiami Chancellor for his meritorious service.

Gao Tang Ling, this is the first time Liu Bei has officially served as a county magistrate, and it is still a large county with a population of over ten thousand households!
Liu Bei, who came from a humble background, weaved mats and sold shoes, had a wandering career for six years, and finally became the county magistrate.

The difficulties involved are hard for ordinary people to understand.

Carefully putting away the seal and ribbon, Liu Bei returned to normal, humble but not obsequious: "Please allow me to prepare thin wine, and drink with Chen Xiang today."

Chen Ji shook his head: "The county is busy with affairs, so let's put the banquet on hold for now, and wait until the day when Pingyuan County's officials are truly peaceful, and then the prime minister will hold a banquet in person to entertain the heroes of the counties."

Liu Bei felt ashamed: "Chen Xiang has a heart for the people of the country, which is admirable."

Chen Jigang was about to leave, but suddenly stopped to stay: "I almost forgot, Xuande, Zheng Ping, the son of Zheng Xuan in Beihai who you asked for the truth a few days ago, is indeed a rare and talented person in the world."

"He can speak at the age of one, write at the age of two, read poetry at the age of three, talk about ancient and modern times at the age of five, read thousands of family books when he was young, and diligently practice bow, horse and sword skills. He can be called a young genius."

"At the age of 14, when he was visiting relatives in prison, he beheaded Su Li, the eunuch who verbally insulted Zheng Xuan, and became famous in Beihai."

"When I was 16 years old, I had a debate with Zheng Xuan in the school. I thought that those who are good at strategy should be known to the world, so I took the name to show my strategy, and traveled to various states and counties. Therefore, I also got the name of 'mad talent'."

"If Xuande wants to invite this person, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Liu Bei did not tell Chen Ji that it was Zheng Ping who pretended to be the captain of Pingyuan County to seek the thief.

Chen Ji only thought that Liu Bei had learned of Zheng Xuan's son's virtuous name by accident and intended to invite him, so he asked himself.

Liu Bei is awe-inspiring.

At that time, he only thought that Zheng Ping was courageous and knew the morale of the army. Liu Bei asserted that Zheng Ping was a talented and wise man, so he invited him.

But I never thought that Zheng Ping was more talented than Liu Bei imagined!

"With Zheng Ping's help, not only Gaotang County, but I can even sweep away the yellow scarves in Pingyuan County!"

"Now that I have become Gao Tang Ling, I must have passed Zheng Ping's examination. If I don't go now, when will I be?"

thought here.

Liu Bei begged Chen Ji for his orders: "To tell the truth, Minister Chen, when I was ambushed by the Yellow Turbans that day, it was Zheng Ping who falsely called the captain of Pingyuan County, who was begging for thieves, and helped me to rectify my morale, which scared the Yellow Turbans back."

"I originally wanted to invite Zheng Ping to help me wipe out the Yellow Turban bandits in Gaotang County and bring peace to the people in the county. But Zheng Ping said that I am just a small county captain in Gaotang County, and all the money and food have to be managed by the county magistrate. The yellow turban bandits of the county."

"Zheng Ping promised that if I become the magistrate of Gaotang County, I can go to Beihai to look for it again!"

"Please allow me, Mr. Chen, a vacation to go to Beihai to seek talents!"

Chen Ji was taken aback, and then restrained his face: "I didn't expect Xuande and Zheng Ping to have such a chance! You don't need to take a vacation, you have a letter with the truth, and at the same time visit Mr. Kang Cheng, and ask Mr. Kang Cheng to recommend some talents to come to Pingyuan County Appointment! No matter whether you hire a talented person or not, you will be credited with the truth!"

This is really sleepy, someone sent a pillow!
Chen Ji was worried about the lack of talents available in Pingyuan County. If Zheng Xuan recommended talented people, how could Chen Ji be as restrained as he is now?

Liu Bei was overjoyed: "Master Chen, don't worry, Liu Bei will definitely live up to his mission!"
