Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 42 Liu debates Shi Yue for a while

Of course, before asking Zhang Yan to "ask for an explanation," he remembered to call Guan Yu or Zhang Fei.

After all, even if he believed in Zhang Yan's character, he was still afraid of what might happen? !

What if, what if he and Zhang Yan break up and there are no generals under his command to follow, then...

With a start, he realized that it was not advisable to be wary of Zhang Yan, but he still couldn't help but think about Zhang Yan's strength.But looking at Zhang Yan's force value, he really didn't think that the five guards around him could withstand Zhang Yan's attack power? ——Even if you block Zhang Yan, you still have to pay attention to another powerful general Guan Hai?
In short, after all, he felt that without the protection of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he...he would be quite insecure.

Therefore, it is imperative to summon Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

By the way, where are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?What are you doing now?

Together with Liu Bei, command three thousand village warriors to carry wood to build houses?

Rolling his eyes, he first signaled Yuan Yi and others to step back and wait for his news, then asked He Xian, "He Xian, where are Guan Caopu and Zhang Qipu now? - Please invite them quickly. Come, I have something to talk to Guan Caopun and Zhang Qipun!"

He Xian clasped his fists and was about to execute the order when he saw Yuan Shao coming on horseback——

"Your Highness!" Yuan Shao shouted loudly and flew off his horse, "Shao has lived up to His Highness's expectations and has invited Mr. Shi Yue, the patriarch of the Shi family! Mr. Shi Yue is waiting at the Bohai Prince's residence! Your Highness wants to meet Mr. Shi Yue ?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Bian knew that he couldn't go to Zhang Yan's place today... so he said to He Xian: "He Xian, you don't have to go to Guan Caopu and Zhang Qipu."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao's eyes flashed slightly, but he remained silent.

He Xian understood and immediately stopped and stood aside.

Turning to look at Yuan Shao, Liu Bian nodded and said: "Okay, I also want to meet Mr. Shi Yue for a while! Farewell Yuan, come with me."

——After all, Mr. Shi Yue is one of the few gentry children in Nanpi County who has taken the initiative to visit him. He is a talented person, and Liu Bian does not want to miss it!

"Here!" Yuan Shao accepted the order and protected Liu Bian.

So, Liu Bian took a carriage and took people back to the mansion leisurely.

As soon as he returned home, Liu Bian saw a middle-aged scribe sitting on his knees with his eyes closed, feeling very comfortable.

The middle-aged scribe is about 30 years old. He is dressed in Confucian robes, which makes his facial features elegant, his eyebrows thick, and his talent high.

Perhaps hearing his footsteps, the middle-aged scribe opened his eyes. When he saw him at first sight, he was not surprised. Instead, he stood up slowly, bowed seriously, and said loudly:
"Shi Yue, a Confucian scholar from Nanpi County, has met His Highness! Do you dare to ask His Highness to serve as the governor of Bohai?"

Looking at Shi Yue calmly, Liu Bianyi replied: "Exactly. - Sir, please get up quickly!"

Liu Bian pretended to support Zhuang'er.

Shi Yue then straightened up and said with a smile: "As expected, as Mr. Benchu ​​said, His Highness is really a young hero. He has assumed the post of prefect at a young age. The more I admire him! However, there are countless fertile counties in the world. Why did His Highness choose to come to this remote and mountainous Bohai County?"

he:"……"

Yo~ It’s more about being a guest, isn’t it?

Why are you asking me this question? ——I would say that I was misled by "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at first, and mistakenly thought that Bohai County was outstanding?Otherwise, why were Yuan Shao and Liu Xie successively named Bohai prefect and Bohai king? ...Ahem, cough, cough~ You can't say this!Tilting his head, Liu Bian did not answer, but asked abruptly:

"Mr. Shiyue, are you testing this prefect?"

"——Yes." Shi Yue was stunned for a moment, and admitted openly, "His Highness has sent people to summon me three times, just to recruit talents like me... Thanks to His Highness's favor, even though Yue has a little talent, But I also know that when a man lives in the world, he should choose a wise master, and sweeping the world in this way will be twice the result with half the effort! I wonder what Your Highness thinks?"

he:"……"

He was speechless.

no no no—

He has thousands of things to complain about!
By the way, Shi Yue, you are not Wang Zuozhi, nor are you a crouching dragon or a phoenix chick. You are just an ordinary son of a noble family in Nanpi County. How can there be so many demands? !

At this moment, he really wanted to hold his forehead.

However, for the sake of image, he had to endure it.

He pondered deeply.

After a long time, he collected his thoughts and said calmly: "I understand what Mr. Shi meant. The reason why I chose Bohai County in the first place...it's a long story. Please listen patiently to Mr. Shi!"

Shi Yue cupped his hands to show respect.

Seeing this, Liu Bian retreated.

After that, he, Shi Yue and Yuan Shao were the only three people left in the house.

He glanced at Yuan Shao faintly, but Yuan Shao turned a blind eye and insisted on staying. Liu Bian looked away and ignored Yuan Shao... He lightly pressed the case, and Liu Bian said slowly: "I don't know whether I should tell Mr. You say! Sir, since you have asked, what shall I say?...Although I am the eldest son of my father, I am not trusted by my father. Therefore, I want to leave the imperial capital and try to govern a state, a county, or a country. County, just to prove my ability and reverse my father’s prejudice against me!
The reason why I chose Bohai County is probably because Bohai County is... poor enough! !

As for being extremely far away from the imperial capital, this is not within the scope of my consideration!
It is precisely because Bohae County is poor and abject that I decided to come to Bohae County!I want Bohae County to develop!
Bohai County borders Youzhou to the north, Qingzhou to the south, and Bohai Bay to the east. It obviously has good advantages, but why is the people's livelihood in decline? "

"——Yes! Why are people's livelihood in decline?" Shi Yue suddenly spoke up, interrupting him.

He was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Why?"

"Because... there is no one in Bohai County, so Bohai County is naturally in decline." Shi Yue asked softly with a calm expression, "Does Your Highness know the population of Nanpi County?"

"This...I don't understand."

He shook his head.

He really doesn't understand.

The former officials vacated Prince Bohai's residence without even leaving a household registration booklet behind!
And while he was looking for mines a few days ago, he reluctantly found out the local population of Nanpi County... How should I say it? ——It seems that not all the local civilians in Nanpi County have fled or moved away. Is there still tens of thousands of households left?But the other party didn't show up often, so he couldn't order people to count them!
Then Shi Yue's eyes were cold and he said: "You can't know. If you knew, I'm afraid none of the former Bohai County officials can escape!"

"How, how do you say that?!" His heart moved, and he was thoughtful.

Sure enough, Shi Yue said: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, in order to win over local powerful people, the previous officials of Bohai County allowed the powerful people to expropriate and extort money. Not only did they invade the fields of ordinary people, but they also forced them to become "sharecroppers"!Just one household or a few households, but hundreds or thousands of households!In the years before Your Highness came to Bohai County, it was normal for any powerful man to own tens of thousands of tenant farmers!
There are too many tenant farmers, and they work all day long. Even if they are exhausted, they can't get much food in exchange... If this continues, the common people of Bohae County will never be free! ——Thanks to General Zhang Yan!If General Zhang Yan hadn't suddenly occupied Bohai County this year and killed those officials, the common people in Bohai County would still be in dire straits!
Just because General Zhang Yan won Bohai County, the common people in Bohai County had to rely on General Zhang Yan!

Therefore, if you, Your Highness, want to count the population of Nanpi County, release the labor force in Nanpi County, and achieve the goal of ensuring that the civilians of Nanpi County have no worries about food and clothing, then you must go and see General Zhang Yan!

Your Highness just asks General Zhang Yan for someone. I believe that General Zhang Yan will not refuse you because you are the eldest son of the Emperor and you will soon be colleagues! "

he:"……"

With just these words, he was shocked to realize that the other party was indeed a nobleman from Nanpi County. He seemed mediocre, but he knew a lot.

——It is not ruled out that Yuan Shao informs you!
He is extremely subtle.

Before, he wanted to see Zhang Yan, mainly because Zhang Yan occupied the kiln but did not hand over the kiln!
Now, he still sees Zhang Yan, mainly because Zhang Yan has taken away the population and does not intend to tell him!
This was good, he had another reason to "ask for an explanation" from Zhang Yan.

He stroked his palms and said, "Thank you sir for your pointers. Debating is like clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, and I suddenly became enlightened."

Shi Yue was flattered at the right time, and he quickly raised his hands and said: "Your Highness is so flattering that I dare not take it seriously."

Smiling slightly, he said: "Sir, you are so humble! You are so talented! I really admire your vision. Will I have the opportunity to consult you from time to time in the future?"

Shi Yue said: "Your Highness is too polite. Your Highness's qualifications are amazing! With Your Highness in the Han Dynasty, the world will be prosperous."

His eyes lit up, but he shook his head and said: "Sir, this is wrong. If you want to revive the world, I can't do it by myself! We also need talents like you...Sir, I want to recruit you." Sir, you are "Historian" - Recorder!May I ask, sir, if you are willing? "

Shi Yue's face didn't change and he replied: "Don't you dare to disobey your orders."

Liu Bian and Shi Yue looked at each other and smiled in unison.

Happily, Liu Bian dipped his pen in ink, wrote out the appointment letter, stamped it with a seal, and handed the appointment letter to Shi Yue, and Shi Yue's history was officially released!

Liu Bian immediately suggested: "Shi Shi, I want to meet with General Zhang Yan. Do you want to come with me?"

At any rate, it was you who put forward the opinion, and I felt uneasy if I didn’t take you there.

Shi Yue blinked, but before he could react, he heard Yuan Shao say:
"Your Highness! Can you take me there? - I will ensure your safety, Your Highness!"

After listening, Liu Bian pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but he said nothing.

When he first heard that Yuan Shao...Yuan Shao recommended himself, Liu Bian refused in his heart: No matter how powerful you are, Yuan Shao, can you be more powerful than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two peerless generals?
Do not!
you can not!
Not only is your force value incomparable to that of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it is even inferior to Zhang Yan - I don’t know, in history, you led troops to fight Zhang Yan for several rounds, but failed to kill Zhang Yan every time. In the end, you died of illness. Instead, Zhang Yan surrendered to Cao Cao and became the Marquis of Anguo Pavilion, with a settlement of [-] households...

His eyelids twitched. He wanted to reject Yuan Shao, but he couldn't dampen Yuan Shao's enthusiasm, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay! I'll take you with me again!"

Clearing his throat, he raised his voice and said, "He Xian, why don't you go ask Guan Caopu and Zhang Qipu to come back!"

"Here!"

Outside the house, He Xian took the order and left.

When he was young, He Xian returned, but he brought Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei with him - one more person...

Yes, yes!The three of Liu and Guan Yu have always been inseparable. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei wanted to protect Liu Bian, so how could Liu Bei stay willingly?

We must advance and retreat together, right? !
