Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 92 Xun You’s defection was interrupted
"Don't worry, your highness, your majesty's appointment document is here with you, and it will be reported to Zhang Yan tomorrow." Xun You said clearly.

After Liu Bian heard this, he was happy and worried at the same time: he was happy that Zhang Yan had finally been knighted, and he had submitted to the imperial court, and he had been cleared from being a Yellow Turban rebel and became a Han official; he was worried that Zhang Yan should release hundreds of thousands of tenant farmers. Where to place it?

"Your Highness, do you have anything else to say?" Xun You observed his expression, as if he had read through his mind.

After coming back to his senses, he said: "It's nothing. Are you tired, Mr. Xun? Do you want me to send someone to take you back to your house to rest?"

Xun You shook his head and actually said proactively: "If Your Highness has no objection, can you allow You to stay here?"

With his eyes crooked, he said, "Just Mr. Yi Xun."

Raising his head, he nodded to Zhao Yun again.

Zhao Yun cupped his hands, hesitated for a moment, and then silently resigned.

Liu Bian was slightly disappointed: It seems that Zhao Yun doesn't want to defect to him?

No problem!

He has the patience to grind it out.

He winked at He Xian.

He Xian clasped his fists, took the initiative to catch up with Zhao Yun, whispered a few words, and seemed to want to take Zhao Yun to rest.

Anyway, when Zhao Yun and He Xian stepped out of the house one after the other, he could see Zhao Yun obviously breathed a sigh of relief.

Pursing his lips, Liu Bian came back to his senses and announced: "——Everyone, would you like to report on the progress of your work in the past few days?"

As a result, Xun You, as an unreasonable external official, personally witnessed and experienced how His Royal Highness the Prince works daily: but Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Shi Yue, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and He Miao reported in turn - —

For Liu Bian, this is almost routine, and even feels like a chore day after day.

But for Xun You, it was the first time.

Xun You watched with interest as Yuan Shao took the lead and said: "Your Highness, I have ordered the blacksmith to work day and night in the past few days to make a thousand carts for carrying people or transporting goods! Nowadays, there are really refugees or tenant farmers doing this. Register, and you no longer have to worry about the other party rushing to the "log cabin area" and wasting extra time! "

[-]. A thousand pallets? !
Liu Bian took a breath and couldn't help but said: "Only make pallet trucks? Are there any production of agricultural tools?"

Yuan Shao: "..."

Yuan Shao's expression froze.

After holding his forehead, Liu Bian understood: He didn't make any farming tools, he just ran the cart!
How can this work?
Liu Bian said decisively: "From tomorrow on, there will be no shortage of farming tools! We can build fewer carts!"

Yuan Shaoer turned red, cupped his hands and said, "Here!"

good!Next person!
Liu Bian jumped over Yuan Shu and Shi Yue and looked at Liu Bei, including Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Xun You tilted his head, surprised by how close Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked.

Then Liu Bei took a step forward and said calmly: "Your Highness, the current tenant farmers have arrived in Dongguang County safely and have settled down! Bei also brought 10 yuan of green bricks, which have been transported to the warehouse. Please take a look at them."

At the right time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also maintained their bowing postures, and they were in and out at the same time as Liu Bei, very synchronized.

After listening, Liu Bian sighed as follows: All the materials were moved to the warehouse, and he didn’t know if the warehouse could still hold it.

Waving his hand, Liu Bian said: "I understand. Starting from tomorrow, Uncle Wang...Liu Sheren, will you continue to be in charge of the "Wooden House Area"? ——Can the wooden house area be built again?Do you think it is feasible to build another "brick house area"? "

"Brick House District?!" Everyone looked at each other with interest.

Liu Bianzhi said convincingly: "That's right, if there is a wooden house area, why can't there be a brick house area? ——When the brick house area can no longer live in, let's build a "commercial area"? "

"Business district?!" The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Liu Bei's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Your Highness, this is a great idea! The residents of Nanpi County don't have much property, so they can't live in it all." Instead of entering a brick house, why not free up the brick house area and turn it into a commercial area? - Bei means:

The business district is all built with brick houses, which are stylish. How about that?
In this way, unnecessary troubles caused by wooden houses and brick houses are also avoided. "

Liu Bei had something to say.

Liu Bian's eyes sparkled, and he vaguely realized: a wooden house has many functions, but it is far less practical than a brick house!However, although a brick house is good, it is more difficult to build than a wooden house, and the price is much more expensive than a wooden house——

His understanding is: Suppose everyone lives in a wooden house and is a poor resident. One day, several residents will spend money to move to brick houses. In the long run, will the price of brick houses be high and the price of wooden houses cheap?
Most of the people who live in brick houses are "high-ranking officials", but the high-ranking officials look down on the common people?

This is really not good.

There are hidden dangers.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "Liu Sheren, this king is sure! After the wooden house area is implemented, shall we build a "commercial area" at the same time?Just build a house of bricks. "

Liu Bei said: "How dare you disobey your orders."

"Is the brick house in progress?" Liu Bian tapped his forehead, but he didn't forget that there were blue bricks before.

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment and replied: "It is used, but it is not with the wooden house area."

The implication: Liu Bei got it right and built a brick house in a different place, which could be developed into a commercial area?
With his eyes crooked, Liu Bian praised Liu Bei's character in his heart: What a great change!

Next, there is Cao Cao.

Without changing his expression, Cao Cao said: "My lord, Dongguang County is developing well! Similar to Nanpi County, Dongguang County also implements big pot rice, and also strongly encourages land reclamation and more planting! What surprises me is: Dongguang County's The houses are in good condition and there are many vacancies that can be used to register and accommodate migrants and tenant farmers! Not to mention there are two kilns in Dongguang County..."

Bah bah bah, Cao Cao praised Dongguang County so much that everyone was slightly envious.

After all, Cao Cao was the first person among the officials to be appointed as a county magistrate. How could he not be envied by others?

However, all the officials were still good-natured and did not want to engage in a boring verbal dispute with Cao Cao.

All the officials secretly waited for a good opportunity: If Cao Cao can appoint you as the county magistrate, why can't we? ——Don’t forget that there are eight counties in Bohai County. As long as you have outstanding achievements, how can you become a county magistrate?
Eight counties...oh~no!It's six!One person, one person, no one will delay anyone!
It's a pity that Liu Bian doesn't understand the thoughts of his talents at all, and simply believes that they are really good officials who work for the people. Liu Bian is still thinking about how to weaken the various aristocratic families in the eight counties. It is not impossible to defeat the powerful people, make them kneel down and sing conquest, and appoint county magistrates for everyone...

After all, he needs loyal and capable confidants, and each county in Bohai County must also have a county magistrate to share his hard work - otherwise, eight counties will have to patrol once a day, so there will be nothing. Done!

"Master Cao, you did a good job." Liu Bian praised Cao Cao without hesitation, "Are there any questions?"

"It's not a big problem, but there are a lot of trifles, and it's impossible for people to leave the city easily." Cao Cao was really worried.

This made Liu Bian laugh, and he said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? - Director Cao, you can train a few talents in Dongguang County, and then leave the trivial matters to the other party to solve, isn't that enough?"

I still remember my masters Yuan Yi and Zhang Daci. How are these two people?Why have you stayed in Dongguang County and never come back? Don't you forget that your master Yuan Yi is the county Sikong? "

——Even if Master Yuan Yi is only in charge of the civil engineering in Bohai County and the craftsmen in the mansion, and has nothing to do with discussing world affairs, Master Yuan Yi is also literate and can write!
Isn’t this a proper talent, and isn’t it worth cultivating vigorously?
If you raise it well, won't it reduce Cao Cao's burden? !

Looking sideways at Cao Cao, Liu Bian was speechless.

Cao Cao was not angry but happy, and said happily: "As expected of my lord, it's just that Cao is shallow."

After hearing this, Cao Cao was overjoyed and said: "Thank you so much for your advice, lord! I will not let you down!"

Seeing this, Xun You thought to himself: Lord? ——Cao Cao actually called His Highness the Lord? !
So……

Xun You's eyes darkened and he remained silent, reducing his sense of presence.

Turning his eyes, Liu Bian turned to Yuan Shu...Shi Yue was beside him and asked: "Mr. Shi, how are you doing there?"

Yuan Shu opened his mouth, then closed it, feeling his heart filled with worry: Your Highness is ignoring people again... Wow!But I heard Shi Yue say: "Reporting to your highness, Yuan Jijiu and I are doing well!"

"That's good." Liu Bian waved his hand, "You and Yuan Jijiu are still responsible for the registration?" "How dare you disobey." Shi Yue cupped his hand.

Yuan Shu also bowed.

Glancing at He Miao, Liu Bian said casually: "He Xiapu, what's your situation?"

He Miao took a step forward and said calmly: "Thanks to Your Highness Hongfu, Nanpi County's public security is normal."

Aren't there any strange conflicts?
Liu Bian was delighted that Nanpi was safe and peaceful, but also regretted that it was too dull... Ahem!Plain is good!Plainness is a blessing, and it’s better than being in a state of flux, fighting with each other!
“If you have the work, where can you rely on it? Where will Nanpi County’s public security depend on from now on?”

He Miao said: "Here!"

Then?

Then, gone.

Looking around at the crowd, Liu Bian couldn't think of anything else to do, so he asked habitually:
"Everyone, do you have anything else to report?"

Everyone knew that today's reporting work was over and they really had nothing to say, so they all saluted——

Seeing this, Liu Bian announced: "Thank you for your hard work, please step back."

As a result, everyone left one after another——

Except Xun You!
Seeing that everyone had left, Xun You stood up and said, "Your Highness, You really respect you very much. Can I have a chat with you?"

Raising his eyebrows, Liu argued: "What do you want to talk about, sir?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw He Xian coming in a hurry and said, "Your Highness, He Xian has sent a letter to Master Cao to ask for an audience."

what?
Liu Bian was stunned for a moment and responded: "What is the summons for the general secretary of Cao He?"

He first takes the order.

After a while, He Xian brought He Miao and Cao Cao over.

Looking at He Miao and Cao Cao, Liu argued: "How do you two go and turn back?"

He Miao didn't say a word, but Cao Cao said: "My lord, Mr. Xun and I hit it off right away. I just saw that Mr. Xun hadn't left, so I wanted to come and ask. Who knows that Mr. Xun really hasn't left!"

Turning to Xun You, Cao Cao cupped his hands towards Xun Xing and said, "Mr. Xun, you won't exclude me?"

"How could it be?" Xun You returned the courtesy and saluted Cao Cao, "Mr. Meng De serves His Highness and treats His Highness as his lord. He and his lord are one. How can You be so envious?"

"I also admire Mr. Xun's talent. Would you like to ask Mr. Xun for advice?"

After Cao Cao and Xun You bragged about each other for a long time, they finally sat down on the ground and looked at Liu Bian in unison.

Liu Bian thought: Have you finished blowing? ——Clearing his throat, he asked:
"Mr. Xun, what did you want to say just now?"

Xun You looked around and knew that everyone present was one of his own, so he simply said: "Your Highness, you have something unclear and I would like to ask Your Highness for advice."

"What's the matter?" Liu Bian asked.

Xun You said: "Your Highness, you are His Majesty's eldest son and you are born with the qualifications to establish a prince. Why do you stay away from Luoyang and come to this remote Bohai County?"

Liu Bian thought to himself: Is your question really familiar?
It seems that I have answered many times before?

At this time, if I apply the previous answer again, will I be laughed at by Cao Cao?
After glancing at Cao Cao, Liu Bian was intrigued for no reason and suddenly said: "Master Cao, why do you think this king wants to stay away from Luoyang and come to Bohai County?"

Liu Bian bit the three words "Bohai County" very hard.

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "This... I really don't know, dare to ask the master why?"

Liu Bian glared at Cao Cao, feeling that Cao Cao was extremely cunning: Cao Cao had clearly heard his ideas a long time ago, but now... He pursed his lips, Liu Bian sighed heavily, looked at Xun You, and did not answer. Rhetorical question:

"Mr. Xun, before I answer, I also want to ask you, how do you feel about the Han Dynasty?"

Xun You said without thinking: "The Han Dynasty is in danger! The eunuchs are in power! Your Majesty's words and deeds are ridiculous, and you are against the officials in the court, and you do not establish a prince! The Yi tribe often invades our border with the Han Dynasty! Natural disasters have happened one after another in recent years! The people are in poverty and poverty. I lament that officials everywhere still don’t know it…”

The attack only left Cao Cao and He Miao... calm.

Calm?

After silently watching Cao Cao and He Miao for a moment, Liu Bian withdrew his gaze and had to say to Xun You who was still talking: "Sir, sir! Stop, stop! Stop! Stop!..."

Is it really appropriate for you to criticize the Han Dynasty again?

Don't be afraid that I will take you into custody and put you in jail!
Xun Youzhen stopped and stopped talking.

Liu Bian sighed and said: "Sir, since I feel that the Han Dynasty is in danger, as the eldest son of my father, shouldn't I share his worries? This is one of the reasons why I want to go to Bohai County. "

Xun You said: "Your Highness, why are you so low-key when you go? It's so low-key that people may misunderstand."

"What misunderstanding?"

"Everyone says that His Highness has been rejected and alienated by His Majesty, and has already lost the qualification to be a crown prince..."

"Do you believe it?" Liu Bian asked coldly.

Xun You was stunned for a moment and replied: "I believed it at first, but then... after I thought about it for a moment, I felt that I didn't believe it anymore."

"Why?" Liu Bian asked.

But Xun You said: "Your Highness, I should have asked you, why did you ask me?"

Liu Bianle said: "Excuse me, sir."

"Your Highness..." Xun You just said two words, then stopped, "Forget it, forget it, you still plan to stay in Nanpi County for a few days, and there is no rush now. I don't know if Your Highness will dislike my little one." How many days will you stay?”

"How could it be? It's too late for me to be happy." Liu Bian looked at Cao Cao and ordered simply, "I will talk to Mr. Xun some other time. I will hand Mr. Xun over to you tonight. Lord Cao, you will have to treat Xun well." Sir?"

This... Look at what this said.

Cao Cao shook his head, then said to Xun You, "Sir, please follow me."

Afterwards, Cao Cao took Xun You away.

He Miao also stood up and slipped away.

——So, He Miao didn’t say a word, what on earth was he doing?

Holding his forehead, Liu Bian calmed down his thoughts: I don’t want to anymore!Why don't you take a look at the account book for a while?
Liu Bian looked at the account books seriously before falling asleep.

Silent all night.

The next day, Liu Bian was awakened by He Xian's shout again——

"Your Highness! Zhang Yan is here!!"

　This is embarrassing. Can’t the VIP title be changed?
