King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 505 Recommend Talents
Li Lin lost his temper all the time, and finally calmed down. He sat on the desk and dressed rough. Cheng Yu and Xu Miao walked forward slowly. Better?"

Li Lin said depressedly: "What a fart, these old men are really hateful! After a long time, I can't guarantee whether I will be able to hold them back like this!"

Cheng Yu said with a faint smile: "My lord, your patience for a while has also brought you a lot of benefits. Although these people don't have much power, they have a very high reputation. If the lord tolerates them today, they can help the lord tomorrow." Stabilize the situation in the city, and after a long time, the lord will definitely get a lot of benefits from it!"

Li Lin squinted at Cheng Yu, and said reluctantly, "Just that Kong Rong? He couldn't manage even Beihai well. Cao Cao called him back to make him work as a contractor. What can they do!"

Cheng Yu said: "My lord! Of course we can't rely on them to govern Xuchang, but only with their approval can we get the approval of those who can govern Xuchang!"

Li Lin raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully, "What does Zhong De mean?"

Cheng Yudao: "My lord entered the city only the second day, and Kong Rong and others came to meet the lord in a hurry. It seemed that they came to give the lord a reprimand, but they were actually helping the lord to stabilize the situation in the city. Some officials are still waiting and watching. With the affirmation of these people, they will definitely move closer to the lord. As soon as these people walk away, someone will immediately preach the lord's benevolence, righteousness, and open-mindedness. These people will praise the lord several times Your humility will elevate your status even more, and as the lord's uncle, you will call on the people in the city who are watching to come and surrender. My lord, what do you mean if this is not good for you?"

Li Lin rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then said puzzledly: "It makes sense to hear what Zhongde said, but since they want to help me, they came here and scolded me, what the hell are they doing?"

Cheng Yu laughed and said, "My lord, you defeated Duke Cao and marched into the city. In fact, these people are the most nervous. How do they know whether the lord will be the second Dong Zhuo, and the lord holds great power. After entering the city, Qiu has nothing to do." It's just that they violated the rules of etiquette in this palace. These literati wanted to please the lord, but they couldn't show their courtesy to the lord, and the lord was young. These people couldn't bow their heads to the younger generation as elders. So I brought Kong Rong, Hua Xin and the lord's uncle and friends as shields to test the lord's character. I can guarantee that if the lord is furious in front of these scribes today or punishes them, there will be countless powerful people in Xuchang city tomorrow. People in the world want to flee the city with their whole family, but when the time comes, Xu Chang, even if the lord has a city, there will be no one to manage it, so is the lord going to call officials from Youliao thousands of miles away?"

Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Li Lin suddenly realized that he was not a master of politics. It was really convenient for him to have Cheng Yu around. Li Lin got up immediately and said, "Zhong De's words are reasonable. Without the president, I'm afraid Lin will make a big mistake, Lin thanked Zhongde again!" After speaking, Li Lin bowed respectfully to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu hurriedly stopped him and said, "My lord, you don't need to be too polite, this is a matter of a certain duty." Then he smiled and said, "Hehe, after being scolded today, my lord, this bowing ceremony is even more respectful!"

Li Lin said unhappily: "Damn! They were all trained by these old men!"

After finishing speaking, Li Lin went to the case again, and said depressedly: "It seems that this palace is really a bad place to live. I have to move out quickly, and don't let these old men get caught!"

Cheng Yu nodded, and said: "In a few days, you can clean up Duke Cao's Great General's mansion, and then the lord can live in it. Those people won't say anything. The lord bird is the current master of Xuchang. As long as the lord Treat you with courtesy, and you will definitely not do anything that harms the lord!"

Li Lin nodded and said, "Okay! In order to stabilize the chaotic situation first, I will endure it! NND, this is more depressing than losing a battle!"

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Hehe, since my lord sent troops, there have been few defeats. Today's defeat can be regarded as a crushing defeat!" Cheng Yu had only been with Li Lin for a day, and he had already figured out Li Lin's temper. If you are restrained, Li Lin will love you more and more. The more unrestrained you are, the more Li Lin will get close to you. Cheng Yuke is the first time he has seen such a lord. With Li Lin, his joking skills have improved by leaps and bounds!

Li Lindao: "Okay! Then the matter of governing Xuchang will be handled by these people!"

Cheng Yu quickly waved his hand and said, "Hey...my lord, you can't rely on these people to govern Xuchang. Although these people have high reputations, but their abilities are average, can someone recommend two people for your lord?"

Li Lin immediately said: "It turns out that Zhongde has already been selected, so let's talk about it!"

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Chen Qun, Chen Changwen, Jiyin, Dong Zhao, Dong Gongren!"

"Okay! Zhong De hasten to call the two of them here!" Li Lin said immediately without hesitation.

Cheng Yu looked at Li Lin with a smile, and said, "My lord, don't you ask me why I recommended these two people? They are both former ministers of Duke Cao!"

Li Lin said indifferently: "The person recommended by Zhongde must be a great talent. I have no doubts. Now I am a mess messed up by a group of old men. I am quite Zhongde!"

Cheng Yu's full trust in Li Lin was very useful, and he said: "My lord, if you want these two people to wait for all the old officials of the Han Dynasty to submit to the lord, you need one person's support!"

Li Lin said angrily: "I, Zhongde doesn't have to be a joke anymore. Come on, I'm dying of anxiety!"

Cheng Yu smiled mysteriously and said, "It's the Taiwei Yang Biao who hasn't shown up yet!"

"Taiwei Yang Biao!" Li Lin exclaimed, "Third Lord! Also, if he supports me, it will be much easier!"

Cheng Yudao: "My lord, Hongnong Yang's family is also one of the most powerful families in my family. With the support of Kong Rong and others, my lord will definitely be able to quickly stabilize Xuchang, and even the whole of Henan!"

Li Lin slapped his thigh anxiously, got up immediately and said, "Then why are you still muttering here! Take me to find it!"

Cheng Yu smiled wryly, and hurriedly said: "My lord, don't worry, let these literati first let the lord's reputation be pretentious in the city, and then move back to the image of the lord, and after the lord enters the city, Qiu has done nothing wrong, loves you The common people open the granary to release food, which will definitely increase the prestige of the lord, and the time will be ripe for the lord to meet this great captain again!"

Li Lin nodded and said, "Okay! I'll follow you!"

Xu Miao suddenly interjected: "Master, let's talk about food and grass. Although our army has enough food and grass now, after entering the city, we need to save the people and feed the army. The daily consumption is astonishing. This is not a long-term solution!" Xu Miao looked at the situation. Cheng Yu and Li Lin laughed in front of their eyes for a long time, and quickly changed the topic back. I am now the chief steward of the armed forces, and I can't sleep because I am so busy with things every day, so I should quickly discuss a solution with Li Lin.

Li Lin immediately turned around, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Oh? Our army won't run out of food again, right?"

Xu Miao said depressedly: "Although it's not imminent, it will be a matter of time if it goes on for a long time!" After saying that, he handed over the consumption list of grain, grass and materials that he had prepared this morning to Li Lin to stop the siege. Li Lin.

Li Lin is not very interested in this account book. Why, because Li Lin University is learning this, and I am tired of these things such as writing off accounts and reporting. It's just a quarterly report to Li Lin. Now this job has been taken over by Liu Ying and Yu'er. Damn, I am much smarter and have caught up with the professional ones.

But Xu Miao's account is related to the lifeblood of his tens of thousands of troops. Li Lin quickly took it over, and when he saw it, he was so surprised that his big teeth almost fell out, and he shouted: "There are so many fucking people, this gang How can the people eat more than my army!"

Xu Miao said speechlessly: "My lord, the war is over, and there are a lot of hungry people inside and outside the city, but at the beginning..." Xu Miao also looked at Cheng Yu, and then said: "At the beginning, Cao Jun implemented the policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, which led to the destruction of all the people outside the city. The fields and water sources are all polluted, and it will take some time to restore it to the past. If the city is destroyed, not only the hungry people in the city, but also countless refugees from outside the city will flood into the city, and we can't do it! "

Li Lin stared at the accounts made on the bamboo slips and said: "This is impossible. Winter is coming soon. There is so much food that can only be exported. Even if there is a golden mountain, it will be eaten up! These hungry people must eat Make a place to resettle, like a long-term plan!"

Xu Miao wondered: "My lord, most of these people's property and land are outside the city. When the war broke out, their homes were already destroyed. Outside the city, after it was destroyed, it also suffered a devastating blow, and became a refugee, and now it is going to be winter again, so it is very difficult to solve it!"

Li Lin frowned tightly. In this era, the city is only a distribution center for material economy, and it is also a hidden defense place during wartime. Therefore, most of the city is full of aristocratic families, and the common people are all in the villages and counties outside the city. When the war broke out, those businessmen who relied on business to make a living were better off. If they lost their business, they could quickly make a comeback, but those people who relied on their apprentices for food would be doomed. The rebellious army took it away, and the fields were trampled badly by horses and chariots. If this is the case, if they can live until the next spring, they can still start all over again...
