Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 34: Give official positions to generals first

Of course, before the second plenary meeting, Liu Bian made sufficient preparations.

Looking around at the crowd, Liu Bian did not mince words and said directly: "Everyone, Bohai County is in decline and is in need of revitalization. It needs your joint care! There is something wrong with the tasks I assigned you this morning. This is all due to my urgency. Also, I failed to think it through! Now I would like to ask you to report the results of your work again so that we can discuss it in detail to better solve the problem. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone clasped their hands and said, "I obey His Highness' wishes!"

"Okay." He began to point out, "Captain Cao, let's start from you?"

Cao Cao took a step forward and reported: "Your Highness, I contacted the grain merchants and wanted to levy grain, but it didn't work... I bought grain on credit, but I didn't know that I had no certificate, and the grain merchants didn't believe my request, so they sent evil slaves Beat me and so on - blame me for not paying attention for a moment, and I accidentally received a few blows, which made everyone laugh!"

With a beaten face, Cao Cao spread his hands helplessly.

The corners of his mouth curled up, and everyone wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh, and they only showed a hint of sympathy and indignation.

After hearing this, Liu Bian sighed: "About purchasing grain..."

Liu Bei stepped out of the crowd at the right time and said calmly: "Your Highness, we have prepared food and grass...as many as a thousand dendrobiums. I am willing to donate them to you to relieve the current food shortage."

His eyes lit up, and Liu Bian said, "Thank you so much, Uncle Wang! This food comes in a timely manner!"

Liu Bei smiled slightly and said again: "Bei has ordered people to fetch the grain and transport it into the granary!"

He stroked his palms and said: "Uncle Wang is righteous! Everyone, Uncle Wang went hunting in the forest today and the harvest was not small. I believe that everyone's food will be improved in the next few days! When the money is turned around in the future, I will I want to reward Uncle Wang greatly. Do you have any objections?"

This is to praise Liu Bei in public for his outstanding work.

How dare everyone have an opinion?
Zhang Fei, on the other hand, happily added: "Your Highness! My second brother and I also hunted a lot with my eldest brother. Are there any rewards for me and my second brother?"

"Yes! I have them all!" He promised without hesitation, "I will reward you soon, a small reward, don't be impatient."

After hearing this, everyone had different reactions: Liu, Guan, and Zhang, the three sworn brothers, were naturally overjoyed and had some expectations; Cao Cao was silent; Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu looked slightly embarrassed; as for He Miao, Face indifferent.

Clearing his throat, he turned his gaze to Yuan Shu and asked, "Mr. Yuan, I forgot to ask you during the day. What are the arrangements for the hundreds of registered refugees?"

"Ah? - Arrangement? What arrangement?" Yuan Shu raised his head and looked confused again, "What are the arrangements for the refugees? Most of these refugees are middle-aged and old and cannot do many menial jobs?"

Hearing this, he raised his forehead and said speechlessly: "So, Mr. Yuan, are you going to let the refugees idle for a day?"

Yuan Shu opened his mouth and then closed it again, looking embarrassed as he knew he was wrong.

At this time, Liu Bei cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, regarding the arrangements for the refugees... nothing has been done. At least during the day, there were twenty young and strong men accompanying us into the forest!"

The implication: refugees also have jobs.

However, there are not many people.

Resting his chin with his hands, he made a thoughtful gesture, and suggested: "From tomorrow onwards, all the refugees will have to work too. As for the content of the work... I will make other arrangements later! Mr. Yuan, if you invite more literate Even if you are a Confucian scholar, your progress will not be so slow."

Yuan Shu said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, it's not that Shu dislikes me and doesn't want to find anyone, it's just that... no one can read!"

"What...how do you say this?" He was stunned for a moment.

Yuan Shu complained quickly: "Your Highness, there are only illiterate villagers left in this small Nanpi City. How can there be any literate officials? - They are all gone! Not to mention account books and documents. There isn’t even one copy left! Even the warehouse of our mansion, if it weren’t for Your Highness who always ordered people to replenish it, I’m afraid it would be so empty that even a mouse could be used as a spare ingredient!”

It can be seen from this that Nanpi and even the entire Bohai County are truly ownerless? !
As if he heard Yuan Shu's overtones, Liu Bian's head was full of black lines. He didn't know whether to blame Yuan Shu for his poor handling of government affairs or to be depressed that the current Bohai County really lacked talents——

I have even recruited Cao Yuan, Liu Guan, and Zhang Quan!

Isn't that enough? !
He pondered and said: "Mr. Yuan, you have worked hard these past few days... If I have some free time later, I will come to help you."

Pursing his lips, Yuan Shu said: "His Royal Highness has a rich body, so I don't dare to trouble you, so I'd better let him do it himself!"

Shrugging, he looked at Yuan Shao again.

Yuan Shao's scalp felt numb and he said anxiously: "Your Highness, it is not difficult to summon the children of those aristocratic families. All you need is your personal greetings—"

"Understood!" He felt tired: After all, he still hadn't arranged specific official positions for everyone, so everyone's identity and position were a bit awkward, and it was quite a bit "inappropriate name, inconsistent words" and "fishing for fame"... …

Raising his hand, he motioned for everyone to be quiet.Afterwards, he clapped his hands and shouted: "Mr. He——"

Immediately, the guard He Xian opened the door and walked over with seven letters of appointment in his hand.

As if he had practiced in advance, the guard He Xian handed seven appointment letters to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei respectively, plus one to He Miao.Loudly, Liu Bian said:

"This is your appointment letter! From now on, you will officially become Bohai County officials!"

Yuan Shao opened the appointment letter and looked at it, and said in surprise: "I, I am "Don't be engaged"? ! "

Cao Cao wondered: "Why am I the "Master of Merits"? "

Yuan Shu said: "Why am I the "county offering wine"? ! "

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei looked at each other's appointment letters with great surprise.

But I heard Zhang Fei say: "Brother, are you a "sheren"?The second brother is "thief Cao Tong"?Am I a "thief"?I can recognize the words, but I don't know what kind of official this is - Brother, is this official position big? "

Liu Bei thought for a while and replied: "No matter how big or small your official position is, you serve the imperial court. Third brother, you are responsible for apprehending and pursuing criminals; and your second brother is in charge of punishment..."

"So, brother, what about you?" Zhang Fei asked.

Liu Bei glanced at Liu Bian and said in a low voice: "I am a direct subordinate of His Highness."

Zhang Fei:? ? ?
Liu Bei smiled and said: "That's appropriate."

Zhang Fei:? ? ?
Although Zhang Fei didn't understand what sacrificing others meant, looking at his elder brother's rather satisfied look, he vaguely understood that the position of "sacrifice others" was quite useful, and he was very happy for his elder brother.

He Miao's presence was so low that no one asked what official position He Miao held.

But seeing that He Miao didn't even look at it, she silently put away the appointment letter.

"Everyone -" Seeing everyone looking at the appointment letter and being fascinated, Liu Bian had to raise his voice to draw everyone's attention back, "Now you are all officially appointed officials by the imperial court... I believe you will be here again tomorrow." When you go on a mission, you should get twice the result with half the effort?!"

Everyone quickly put away the appointment letter, restrained their jokes, raised their hands without looking away, and responded in unison:

"Here!"

"Okay." He repeated everyone's respective tasks again, "Tomorrow, Yuan Bieji will send you a greeting card, and then invite the children of the aristocratic family to come to my Bohai County Prince's Mansion! Chief Cao, you can take people to buy food again. , credit, this time I want to hear what other reasons the other party has for refusing! Yuan Jijiu, you continue to register the refugees, and send the registered account books to the study tomorrow night! Liu Sheren...Uncle Wang, you Go to the forest again with Guan Caopu and Zhang Piao. We will only hunt large beasts to ensure that there is no danger in the forest! Under appropriate circumstances, you can also capture pigs and sheep alive! He Xiapu, the security of Nanpi will still be maintained by you!"

——Although He Miao never revealed any information about his official position, from Liu Bian’s words, everyone heard that He Miao served as a "men's servant" and was in charge of the prefect's ceremonial guard...

Everyone accepted the order.

Seeing this, he waved his hand and announced: "Everything that needs to be explained has been explained. Do you have anything else to talk about?"

The crowd was silent.

Liu Bian just pretended that there was no such thing.

As a result, Liu Bian waved his hand and motioned for everyone to retreat.

Everyone bowed and left in an orderly manner.

After a while, when the meeting quieted down, he got up and went to the study.

Sitting in front of the desk, he carefully checked the registration information of the refugees. He read through the specific information of 650 refugees in one breath, classified them into categories, and came to the following conclusions:

Among the 650 refugees, 420 are young men, and 220 are the elderly, women and children. Among the young men, 390 have special skills, and are originally carpenters, bricklayers, craftsmen or Farmers, etc... Of course, farmers account for the largest number of people, a total of 290 people!
So……

Tilting his head, he picked up his pen and began to write on another piece of cloth: How about arranging work for the more than 600 refugees tomorrow? ... Labor can no longer be wasted.

After some deliberation, he finally made a plan.
