When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 145 Jia Xu's Return
"Wenhe, why are you standing? Sit down quickly."

Liu Bei struggled to get up from the bed and saw Jia Xu, wearing a fur coat, standing quietly beside him, staring at him. After he called out to him several times, Jia Xu finally woke up as if from a dream and slowly sat down on a chair beside him.

Liu Bei was not shy about talking to Jia Xu. He chatted with him for a few minutes and then went to put on his coat.

Jia Xu sat in his original position, looking at Liu Bei's back thoughtfully. He was a man of calculations, and he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Liu Bei. Even though Liu Bei did not reveal his feelings before fainting, he could see that Liu Bei was depressed. But now, where was the trace of depression? His state was no different from usual. No, he was even more relaxed, without a trace of fatigue, as if the problem that troubled him was solved. Could this really be done in just one night?
The residence of immortals
My idea must be good.
As long as, as long as.
"Wenhe."

Liu Bei's voice interrupted Jia Xu's scattered thoughts. Jia Xu rubbed his brows, and saw Liu Bei laughing loudly, "Today is the New Year, Ziyi should come back. When Ziyi comes back, I will wait for him to celebrate."

The so-called Shangji is the year-end appraisal system, which began in the Warring States Period and has continued to this day. Ji refers to "jishu", which is a statistical book.

At the end of each year, the counties and towns would report the number of households, money, grain, and thieves within their jurisdiction to the prefecture and the state. The prefect or prime minister would then count the numbers and send an official to present the report to the court.

In the former Han Dynasty, it was usually the emperor who accepted advice. Since Emperor Guangwu revived the Han Dynasty, the person who accepted advice changed from the emperor to the Grand Tutor.

The imperial court evaluated the governors and ministers based on the account books, rewarded those who made contributions and punished those who made mistakes. The account books submitted by various places were finally collected in the Shangshutai, which archived and kept them.

However, the Han Dynasty's system of reporting accounts has long been riddled with holes, with countless frauds. This is not just speculation by Liu Bei and others. When talking with Song Xiao, the governor of Liangzhou, Song Xiao mentioned it, saying that they were here to make money, so why should they focus on governing the counties?

Thinking of the matters to be submitted, Jia Xu smiled and nodded, "It is time to celebrate. With the help of Jian Gongshi, we will handle the plan properly. The content will surely satisfy Your Majesty."

When Liu Bei heard Jia Xu's words, he paused. He knew exactly what Jia Xu meant.

When Jia Xu learned about the negotiation between Liu Bei and Song Xiao, he shook his head.

Liu Bei did not hesitate and immediately found Jia Xu to ask the reason.

Jia Xu replied, "Why don't you bypass Song Xiao and give the money directly to Your Majesty? The general has soldiers and generals, and his reputation is well-known in Liangzhou. Although Song Xiao is a governor, he is far inferior to Zuo Chang. There are wise eunuchs to help the court. It is better to find a brave general, under the name of a plan, to lead a caravan, and present the portion of Liangzhou Song Xiao gets to Your Majesty. Explain to Your Majesty the benefits of opening up the Western Regions, that is, you can get several times more money. You don't need Your Majesty to provide anything, just ask Your Majesty to recruit more civilians and let the Western Regions Chief Secretary's Office cooperate with the general, so that you can get money continuously. Of course, this matter depends a lot on Jian's work."

To put it simply, it means kicking out Song Xiao, the middleman, and doing business directly with the emperor behind the scenes.

However, what surprised Liu Bei was that Jia Xu always attributed all the credit to other people in the past. Why was it different this time?
Is it
Liu Bei looked at Jia Xu with a slight smile on his face. He smiled silently and put it behind him for the time being. Then he asked Huang Zhong to come over, wrote many names on jute paper and handed it to Huang Zhong.

"Han Sheng, go and invite the person on the paper."

"promise."

Huang Zhong clasped his fists and left in a hurry.

Seeing Huang Zhong leaving, Jia Xu opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Liu Bei spoke first.

"Wenhe, you may not believe this, but there is a wonderful place. On New Year's Day, people always say, 'Happy New Year! May you make a fortune!'"

“A wonderful place.”

Jia Xu chewed on this word, and thought to himself, is this the custom of the fairyland? It's really simple...

"Wenhe, come with me."?

Jia Xu looked at Liu Bei's back, was stunned at first, then suddenly remembered something and quickly followed him.

The two came to the study, which was simply furnished with simple bookshelves and simple documents.
Liu Bei didn't say much. He immediately walked to the desk, picked up a pen, grabbed a few sheets of jute paper, and started writing as if no one was around.

Jia Xu knew what Liu Bei meant. It was obvious that he was not hiding anything from him. Logically speaking, if the knowledge came from the fairyland or from the gods in dreams, it would surely attract strong support from everyone in the world as long as the rumor spread. However, when Jia Xu was presented with this kind of thing, he did not feel too excited.
What's wrong with me?
With a sigh, Jia Xu slowly walked to Liu Bei's side, lowered his head, squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the words written by Liu Bei. He stroked his beard and nodded secretly. Not bad, not bad, this is a good way to manage the army.
Wait, that's not right—

The more Jia Xu looked at it, the more frightened he became. Compared with other soldiers, the soldiers under Liu Bei were already quite good, but the measures listed above were to correct the soldiers' wrong ideas, expose their mistakes, punish them if they made mistakes, and then correct them, so as to achieve the goal of not making the same mistakes again in the future. It also used a lot of deeds to prove its point, and compiled a catchy story to establish which was wrong and which was right. Many of the viewpoints were thought-provoking.
And there is a map.
Khyber Pass
Shipbuilding technology.
Jia Xu's brows were twisted into a knot. Why did he stop so suddenly?

"call--"

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, how is it?"

Force yourself to suppress the turmoil and injustice in your heart.

"This is beyond human ability. I don't know who else can give such knowledge except the immortals."

Liu Bei nodded, "Wenhe is right."

"I don't know, what is the immortal's name?" Jia Xu asked.

Liu Bei raised his head, looked out the window, and slowly uttered a word, "Zhen"

"Zhen?"

Jia Xu closed his eyes. He searched his brains but could not find any legend about the immortal Zhen.
After a moment, Jia Xu seemed to have made a decision and he bowed to Liu Bei.

"Xu, meet the lord."

Liu Bei suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. What did Jia Xu call him just now? Lord? Wasn't Lord originally called Xiaozhi? How could it be called Wenhe?
!

It was as if a muffled thunder exploded behind his head, and Liu Bei suddenly realized what was going on. He hurriedly helped Jia Xu up and was about to say something.

"Clang."

The door suddenly opened, and Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and the young "Five Tiger Generals" walked in. They all had smiles on their faces and clasped their fists towards Liu Bei.
"My Lord, Happy New Year and best wishes for prosperity."

Even Jia Xu said these words with a smile.

"My Lord, Happy New Year and best wishes for prosperity."
