Chapter 88

"What, what's going on?" Liu Bian was confused. He hadn't woken up yet and was temporarily confused.

He Xian stood outside the door, cupped his hands, and repeated loudly: "Liu Sheren is back!"

Liu Sheren?
Liu Bei!

Suddenly, he woke up, and while dressing quickly, he asked, "Where is he?!"

"Waiting just outside the study!" He Xian replied.

"I know!" he said, "I will go there later!"

When he was young, Liu Bian opened the door after changing his clothes and freshening up. He didn't even have time to have breakfast, and waved his hand: "Lead the way!"

As a result, Liu Bian came to the study under the protection of He Xian and other guards——

Successfully, Liu Bian met Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Uncle Wang!" Liu Bian said, "Let's talk in the study."

Liu, Guan, and Zhang just saluted without answering, and followed Liu Bian into the study silently.

In the study, Liu, Guan, and Zhang stood neatly, while Liu Bian knelt down in front of the desk, straightened his clothes, suppressed his inner excitement, and said, "How is the situation?"

Liu Bei obviously understood what Liu Bian was asking, so he took a step forward and said respectfully: "Bei has fulfilled his mission."

His eyes lit up, Liu Bian said with his hands: "Wonderful, wonderful, have you ever asked what the reason is?"

Liu Bei said: "Asked. It is said that half of the tenant farmers were originally from Nanpi County, and they were the former heads of households who abandoned the houses... It was only because Nanpi, the seat of Bohai County, encountered a war at that time, and countless officials were killed and injured. , became a mess, so I fled to Fuyang County! Now, I heard from the aristocratic families in Fuyang County that Nanpi is safe, so they are clamoring to come back!
Unexpectedly, when everyone came back, they saw that their original houses had been occupied by others. They asked someone to inquire and found out that it was the Bohai Prefect who had done it. They mistakenly thought that it was the Prefect of Bohai who had taken over everyone's houses and fields, and this led to a misunderstanding. !

Fortunately, these misunderstandings have been resolved!Everyone mustered up the courage and wanted to ask you, the prefect, for help!
Your Highness, I have made a rough estimate. There are not 10 tenant farmers, only about 5 to [-]! "

Taking a breath, Liu Bian thought to himself: Forty or fifty thousand people are quite a lot...did it turn out that many of them were from Nanpi County?

However, I have distributed the abandoned houses to others... now I am embarrassed.

Sure enough, this group of tenant farmers can only move to Dongguang County?

It just so happens that Cao Cao is short of manpower...

Feeling a little guilty, Liu Bian said: "Where are the tenant farmers now?"

Liu Bei said: "Just outside the mansion - waiting in line to register!"

"What?!" Liu Bian was startled and couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up quickly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?! Aren't these tenant farmers going to move to Dongguang County? ... There is no need to register in Nanpi County!"

After saying this, Liu Bian strode forward, preparing to leave.

Unable to hold back, Zhang Fei stopped Liu Bian and asked, "Your Highness, where are you going?!"

"Where else can we go?" Liu Bian pushed Zhang Fei, but unfortunately he couldn't!Taking a step back, Liu Bian said helplessly, "Of course you have seen those group of tenant farmers?...You should also go with me!"

"Here!" everyone responded.

Liu Bian took Liu Guan, Zhang and all the guards to Yuan Shu.

As soon as he saw Yuan Shu, Liu Bian was not surprised to see that he had a sad face and silently registered the new tenants. His expression was very numb, which was completely opposite to Shi Yue beside him——

Oh, I'm saved!Only Yuan Shu and Shi Yue are responsible for registration today?
Liu Bian secretly rejoiced and automatically ignored the fact that Zeng Aniu and other doctors were not present.

"Mr. Shi! Yuan Jijiu! Stop it!" Loudly, Liu Bian said forcefully, "This group of newcomers should go to Dongguang County! You don't need to register the people behind you after you register the people in front of you. People!"

"Really?!" Shi Yue remained calm, while Yuan Shu was pleasantly surprised... Oh, no, this has a bad influence!Yuan Shu, who responded quickly, decisively switched to a regretful expression and said solemnly, "I understand."

No longer paying attention to the tenants in front of Yuan Shu and Shi Yue, Liu Bian said to the other tenants: "I am the governor of Bohai! I have given away the houses of many of you to others without authorization. This is my fault. Also, I will not quibble, and I sincerely apologize to you!!"

After saying that, Liu Bian bowed to all the tenant farmers with guilt on his face, and made a big gift to show his apology.

This frightened all the tenant farmers.

The dignified governor of Bohai actually bowed his head to the tenant farmers and admitted his mistake. This, this, this... how can everyone bear this? !
Quickly, several tenant farmers came out of the crowd and took the initiative to say: "Prefect! It's our fault too! If we hadn't run away, we didn't come back for a long time..."

It came to an abrupt end at the right time, and the tenant farmers looked remorseful.

Liu Bian said empathetically, "No, no, no! It's not your fault either! If you want to blame it, it's because Nanpi City was in danger at that time, and you couldn't guarantee your safety—"

As if thinking of something, all the tenant farmers lowered their heads and said nothing.

Without giving everyone a chance to interrupt, Liu Bian added: "I won't hide anything from you... Now, the house has been occupied by others. If you want to move in again, please explain it in advance. I will definitely make the decision for you! Arrange it for you. Come back to live again! And not one will be missing!!”

Huh? !

The tenant farmers opened their eyes wide and looked at Liu Bian in disbelief, as if they believed that there was no way Liu Bian could give in.

Who would have known that, as Liu Sheren said, the Bohai Governor would really make decisions for the tenant farmers!

It’s incredible!
At that time, the tenant farmers present automatically ignored the age of the Bohai governor.

He also threw the words of the heads of the various families in Fuyang County into the background: "You must make a fuss. The bigger and more intense the fuss, the better the effect will be, and you can achieve your goals."

All the tenant farmers stared at Liu Bian excitedly, wishing they could worship him on the spot and worship him like a god.

Even Liu, Guan, and Zhang looked sideways and looked at Liu Bian in surprise.

Yuan Shu couldn't help but pricked up his ears.

Shi Yue also lowered his eyes.

But Liu Bian said: "What, you are originally from Nanpi County, who wants to stay?"

The scene was silent for a long time, and only one tenant farmer pondered for a while, and said abruptly: "Prefect, if I go back to live, what should the other party do?"

"What else can we do? Let the other party move to Dongguang County!" Liu Bian sighed, "There is a lot of construction work going on in Nan County. It will take at least half a year to build a "tile-roofed house area". It will be much more convenient if you look at Dongguang County. Yes... Previously, a large number of residents from Dongguang County came to Nanpi County, so many big houses in Dongguang County were empty——"

He emphasized the word "big house" in an understatement.

All the tenant farmers' eyes were straightened when they heard this.

Someone swallowed and stammered: "What is a big house?"

"A tile-roofed house? It has a yard, complete furniture, and is very close to the market?" Liu Bian tilted his head.

This is far more luxurious than a log cabin.

Even the abandoned houses in Nanpi County are not as good as the big houses in Dongguang County——

Naturally, the tenant farmers were moved.

Someone else said: "How about we go to Dongguang County?...Since it is my abandoned house, it is my fault. I can't drive others away. That would be too unkind, right?" "

The corners of his mouth curled up, and Liu Bian struggled to hold back his laughter: Hahahaha!It seems that everyone is very honest about their health, right?
They are all willing to move to Dongguang County, that would be great!
He expected that the tenant farmers would be soft-hearted!
Pointing his hand at Liu Bei, he smiled and said: "Do you believe Uncle Liu? If you are willing, let Uncle Liu escort you to Dongguang County! There, the Dongguang County Magistrate will help you settle down, and you no longer have to worry about being homeless. It's time to return!" In a low voice, he asked He Xian, "Where is Master Cao?"

He Xiandao: "Master Cao is already in Dongguang County!"

Nodding, Liu Bian faced the tenant farmers and asked: "Everyone, how are you?!"

All the tenant farmers looked at each other.

After that, all the tenant farmers shouted in unison: "I will listen to you, Grand Master!!"

"Very good!" Liu Bian turned to Liu Bei, "The rest will be left to you? - Take everyone to Dongguang County and find Chief Cao! I believe Chief Cao will not disappoint me."

Liu Bei cupped his fists and said, "How dare you disobey me! But if I go to Dongguang County for a while, what should I do over there in the "Wooden House Area"? "

Without the supervision and inspection of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei... Liu Bei was quite worried about what conflicts the "wooden house area" would cause-for example: the original powerful people in Nanpi County!

Although the local powerful people in Nanxianpi are quite peaceful, there is no guarantee that... Liu Bei frowned, undecided.

But Liu Bian waved his hand and said: "No problem, no problem, I, the king, will patrol on my behalf today?"

"This..." Liu Bei hesitated.

Liu Bian felt that what he did was pretty good: It was just patrolling, how difficult was it?It's a good time to test whether everyone is satisfied with life in the "log house area" up close.

"Don't worry, I can do well." Liu Bian patted his chest.

Liu Bei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he agreed: "Your Highness, Your Highness."

Immediately, Liu Bei said goodbye to Liu Bian and said to the tenant farmers: "Everyone, be ready! I will take you to Dongguang County... Dongguang County is not far from Nanpi County."

The tenant farmers had no objection.

In this way, Liu Bei led the tenant farmers, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and two thousand infantrymen, and walked towards Dongguang County.

Watching Liu Bei and his party go away in a mighty manner, Liu Bian heard Yuan Shu sigh and say:
"I'm relieved! Finally, I no longer need to register 10 people..."

"Yuan Jijiu." Liu Bian turned around and saw Yuan Shu rubbing his arms tiredly... Is Yuan Shu very busy?Why doesn't he know?Looking sideways at Yuan Shu, Liu Bian said, "You don't have to register 10 people, and you don't have to forget to register the number of fields. How many days are you going to make me wait?!"

Shrinking his neck, Yuan Shu stood up and stammered: "Shu...Shu will go check the fields in Nanpi County right now!"

After saying this, Yuan Shu ran away in a hurry.

During this period, Yuan Shu was probably too nervous. He staggered and almost fell down!

I really can't see it.

After coming back to his senses, Liu Bian said to Shi Yue: "Mr. Shi, I'll thank you for the registration."

Shi Yue raised his hand to Liu Bian and said warmly: "This is a matter within the scope of the Qing Dynasty."

With his eyes crooked, Liu Bian was about to praise Shi Yue a few words when he heard his stomach growl at an inappropriate time——

Okay, so he hasn't had breakfast since morning?
"Your Highness, please go and have a meal." He Xian lost no time in reminding.

Liu Bian awkwardly said goodbye to Shi Yue and turned to eat...

Time flew by. From morning to afternoon, Liu Bei and his party finally arrived in Dongguang County after traveling for most of the day.

Ordering all the tenant farmers to stay put, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and went to the kiln area to pay homage to Cao Cao.

At that time, Cao Cao was urging the potters to step up their production of blue bricks: Let’s put aside the ceramics for the time being. Nowadays, there is a large demand for green bricks in Nanpi County, and they are far more popular than ceramics.

As soon as he heard Liu Bei's visit, Cao Cao walked out of the kiln and went to see Liu Bei with a gray face. Liu Bei was stunned for a while.Liu Bei cupped his hands and said:

"Master Cao, what are you...?"

"The dust in the kiln is too thick. If you don't pay attention, you will be covered with dust, which makes Liu Sheren laugh." Cao Cao smiled, patted the dust off his body, and asked, "Dare you ask Liu Sheren to visit?" , is there something important?"

Liu Bei said: "According to His Highness's instructions! Bei will bring all the tenant farmers from Fuyang County to Dongguang County and ask the Dongguang County magistrate to settle these tenant farmers! There are about 5 to [-] tenant farmers -"

"I understand." Cao Cao bowed his hand, "Will Liu She lead the way?"

Liu Bei didn't waste any time and immediately led Cao Cao to the tenant farmers.

Standing on the high ground, Cao Cao looked around at the tenant farmers, and shouted vigorously: "This is the magistrate of Dongguang! The chief secretary under the command of the Bohai prefect!! I am ordered by the prefect to give you a house to live in! Come with me, everyone! ! Let’s register first!!”

After that, Cao Cao led a group of tenant farmers, plus Liu Guanzhang, and two thousand infantrymen to the Dongguang County Magistrate's Office.

It was said to be the county magistrate's palace, but Liu Bei saw that the county magistrate's palace was very shabby, just a small mansion of small size.

But it was enough for Cao, Liu, Guan and Zhang to register the tenants.

With his head full of black lines, Liu Bei sat in front of the desk, imitating Yuan Shu or Shi Yue, and together with Cao Cao, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, registered the tenant farmers... The four of them were very efficient. In less than a moment, they completed the registration of hundreds of people. register.

But this is not enough.

Then Cao Cao stood up and said: "Liu Sheren, Guan Cao Peng, Zhang Ping Peng, you register first, and I will arrange housing for the registered tenants."

In the midst of his busy schedule, Liu Bei said: "I want to live in a big house."

Cao Cao paused for a moment and said, "I understand."

Then, Cao Cao followed Liu Bei's standards and really gave a big house to every registered tenant farmer... The tenant farmers were so happy that they didn't know what to say - this must be a dream?This must be a dream?This must be a dream? !
This is too unreal!
All in all, the tenant farmers were all extremely satisfied and were busy wandering around their new homes.

As for eating...

Cao Cao didn't change his face, and took all the tenant farmers to the "open-air canteen"-painting ladles according to gourds. Cao Cao imitated Nanpi County and recruited a group of chefs to make a big pot of rice. He told everyone that Dongguang County is also a big place for everyone. Let's sit down and eat together!
Next, Cao Cao did not let these tenants leave, but asked the other party to find vacant houses and introduce places to eat for the next batch of registered companions in a decent manner.

Moreover, after the third batch of tenants are registered, the tenants of the first two batches will help the newcomers find vacant houses to live in and how to eat.

Back and forth, back and forth, it was clear that Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were working very hard and were so busy that they couldn't stand up straight, but Cao Cao could relax easily and only ran a few times before he was completely "relaxed"——

Liu, Guan, and Zhang didn't know that Cao Cao even slept comfortably!
By daybreak, Liu, Guan, and Zhang, who had been registering all night, were so tired that their eyelids were fighting, but Cao Cao was energetic and in the mood to come over and ask:
"Three of you, have you all registered?"

Liu Bei: "..."

Guan Yu: "..."

Zhang Fei: "..."

For the first time, Liu, Guan, and Zhang didn't want to talk to anyone.

Cao Cao smiled, patted Liu Bei on the shoulder, and said happily: "When will you return to Nanpi City? - Dongguang County has burned a lot of green bricks, why don't you take them back too?"

——Look!There is also a huge gap between the talents of both parties!
