Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 140 Yuan Shu Recruits Zhuge Xuan

Zhu Ge

Yuan Shu asked curiously: "Why do you say I will be disappointed?"

Zhu Ge The people I usually make friends with are all celebrities and talented people! From this, it can be seen that with a status like a commoner, I am afraid that you will not be able to catch the eye of Magistrate Xiu."

Now, you ask about my situation, aren't you just interested in me...oh no~ it's my brother?

As if he understood Zhuge Xuan's hidden meaning, Yuan Shu's face didn't look good.

Liu Bian looked at Yuan Shu with a very subtle mood.

Yuan Shu was a little angry and shouted to Zhuge Xuan: "What? Is it possible that in your eyes, I am a person whose eyes are higher than the top?"

Zhuge Xuan made a gesture of cupping his hands and did not answer.

It seems to be the default.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu felt even more angry.

Gritting his teeth, Yuan Shu said: "Very good! Today I will let you see that I, Yuan Gongli, am by no means a person with high aspirations... The governance of Xiu County is in urgent need of talents. Mr. Xuan dares to come to Xiu County to assist me?"

Huh?
Zhuge Xuan blinked and couldn't recover for a while.

Yuan Shu said: "If you come, I will appoint you... as the county magistrate. How about that?"

There is a county magistrate in the county seat, and the magistrate's right-hand man is the county magistrate and the county captain... Yuan Shu directly recruited Zhuge Xuan and promised to reuse Zhuge Xuan.

Furthermore, Yuan Shu relied on the Yuan family in Runan and served under Liu Bian, the eldest son of the Han Dynasty emperor... Zhuge Xuan made a lot of money!
Zhuge Xuan opened his mouth wide and looked at Yuan Shu with dumbfounded eyes.

Yuan Shu said: "Does not speaking mean acquiescence? - I will write the appointment document as soon as possible. I hope you can pack your bags and come to Xiu County to live for a long time! Of course, if Mr. Gui is also willing..."

Zhuge Xuan stammered: "Brother Gui is the governor of Taishan County, please allow me to refuse on behalf of Brother Gui!"

It would be inappropriate to leave a good county magistrate and come here to become a county magistrate or a county captain...who would be so stupid?
Yuan Shu was depressed for a while, then retreated and said, "Okay, you can do it alone."

"——Bring your family to Xiu County... Oh no! It's okay to move to Bohai County to fill the population? There will be extra rewards!" Liu Bian's eyes shone and he promised with an idea.

Whenever he thinks of Zhuge Gui's sons, such as Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jun, and his two daughters, Liu Bian can't stop drooling: They are all talents, they must not be let go!

Furthermore, according to historical records, Zhuge Gui seems to have died of illness next year (AD 189)? ...Although Zhuge Gui is currently in good health and no symptoms are visible for the time being - and when Zhuge Gui dies of illness, Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Jun, a family of five, will be taken in and raised by Zhuge Xuan because they are too young. !

If Zhuge Xuan can settle in Xiuxian, then Zhuge Liang... cough!People from Zhuge Gui's family are talented, wouldn't there be a chance to join his command?

Of course, it would have been better if Zhuge Gui had not died of illness: anyway, with Zhuge Xuan, are you still afraid that you won't be able to win over Zhuge Gui? ——At worst, he will issue an appointment document?Let Zhuge Gui serve as the governor of Bohai County. Isn't it worse than the governor of Taishan County?

The most amazing thing is: historical records record that Zhuge Xuan was once a subordinate of Yuan Shu.

Now, history has turned a corner and Zhuge Xuan has been subordinated to Yuan Shu again...

But Zhuge Xuan said: "Reward? What reward?"

"Ah?" Liu Bian was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Anyone who comes to Bohai County for a long time will be given an acre of land as a gift!"

Hearing this, everyone present looked at Liu Bian.

Liu Bian was shocked by his words just now.

However, Liu Bian felt that this sudden idea was very, very good.

That's how it should be.

With a final word, Liu Bian announced: "This king has decided to apply this measure to the entire Bohai County!"

Using fields to absorb the refugees will allow Bohai County to obtain sufficient labor force so that the refugees can farm.

With the advantages of population and labor force, it will be much easier for counties to develop and grow!
Besides...

"Long stay? Long stay?" Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were startled at the same time and murmured, "Your Highness, you are the eldest prince of the Han Dynasty. Even if His Majesty does not want to see you... one day, you will return to Luoyang City, so why - —”

Why did you say "long stay"?
Do you really plan to live in Bohai County and never return to Luoyang City?
How does this work? !

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were at a loss for words. They had something they wanted to say, but they were afraid of asking in public and did not dare to ask.With his eyes shining, Liu Bian lowered his eyes, not wanting to tell Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and the drunken Cao Cao... He really wanted to live in Bohai County for a long time, especially in Nanpi County, and by the way, vigorously build Nanpi County and turn Nanpi City into a Build it into a capital that is not inferior to Luoyang City. In this way——

He tried his best to keep the goal hidden deep in his heart, and he would not reveal even a single bit of it at the moment.

Sadly, he seemed to have underestimated the intelligence of everyone present.

Perhaps Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and He Miao, the four people who followed him from the beginning, could not figure out his plan for a while, but Guan Jushou, Tian Feng and other scribes who were more inclined to strategy were stirred up in their hearts, sometimes shocked and sometimes confused. , sometimes I dare not miss it, sometimes I look forward to it...

I thought that His Highness did not stay in Luoyang City, but went his own way to this remote Bohai County. Maybe it was to avoid the undercurrent of the capital; maybe he was really despised by His Majesty and was sent here... However, once he lives in Bohai, County, and regardless of how to return to Luoyang, the scribes will think:
Could it be that His Highness wants to develop in Bohai County and one day build Nanpi City in Bohai County as the new capital of the Han Dynasty? ——This possibility cannot be ruled out?Even if the chance of this possibility is slim...

However, efforts have been made to increase and expand the population of Bohai County, resulting in the population of Bohai County becoming the largest in the entire Jizhou. Your Highness may not be clear: During this time, refugees have been pouring into Bohai County every day, just like the entire Jizhou. The population is all flocking to Bohai County!
...In order not to expose his own picture, Liu Bian tilted his head and retorted: "That's not true!

Why can't I say "stay for a long time"?
Even if I cannot stay in Bohai County for a long time, are other common people not qualified?
What’s the point! "

This, this reason is so powerful!

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were speechless.

Narrowing his eyes, Liu Bian said: "Xiu County Magistrate, your nose doesn't hurt anymore?"

"Ah?" Yuan Shu was shocked, and then he noticed that he had put down his hand at some point... Quickly, Yuan Shu covered his nose again, trying to hide it and said, "It hurts! It still hurts!"

Liu Bian sighed, not even bothering to expose Yuan Shu.

Just let Yuan Shao help Cao Cao.

It's a pity that Cao Cao fell asleep at this moment.

I missed a wonderful scene.

...At that time, Liu Bian didn't see it at all: Although Cao Cao was asleep, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"——Your Highness! Am I late?"

At this time, Zhuge Gui's voice came.

Everyone looked around and saw Zhuge Gui coming in a hurry, and said to Hu Amei, "Miss Hu, I brought the money. It's downstairs, and I have to ask you to come and see it."

Hu Amei's eyes were crooked and she smiled and said, "Okay! I'll go right away!"

Hu Amei hurriedly went downstairs to collect the money.

"Brother Gui!" Seeing Hu Amei leave, Zhuge Xuan Qiqi Ai Ai said, "I have something to say later."

Zhuge Gui had no idea: while he was running to pay, Zhuge Xuan decided his future life - without thinking, Zhuge Gui said: "That's fine! I will listen!"

Then, everyone present was distracted and waited for a long time before Hu Amei arrived.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Hu Amei smiled warmly and greeted Liu Bian and his group, "Sorry, I was busy with something just now... Come on, come on, let's go this way, it's less crowded and quieter."

Alright, alright, Hu Amei apologized and sent Liu Bian and his party out of the restaurant.

After eating and drinking, everyone cheered up and joined the guards outside.

Afterwards, Liu Bian got into the carriage alone——

Cao Cao went crazy with alcohol and shouted that he wanted to sit with His Highness, but Yuan Shao ruthlessly stopped him.

With a gesture of his hand, Yuan Shao called for a cart, put Cao Cao on the cart, and dragged him away!
Liu Bian: "..."

After lowering the curtain, Liu Bian couldn't bear to look directly at the drunken Cao Cao lying on the open-air cart, being pushed away by the driver. It was so eye-catching and ruined his image... [-]% of Cao Cao's majesty would be gone from now on.

With the clatter of horseshoes, Liu Bian and his party hurried for a long time before returning to the long-lost Prince Bohai's mansion...

"This...is the Bohai Prince's residence?" - Will it look like after expansion?

After getting off the carriage, Liu Bian looked at the luxurious mansion in front of him and felt that he had come to the wrong place.
