Liu Jie sat down, poured a cup of tea by himself, and then said to Liu Xian with a smile: "Brother Liu Xian, what do you want to talk to my brother so seriously?" Let's say, this time, my brother has indeed seen how powerful you are, brother, and he has made the impossible possible. Now the people of the entire Beihai City, who doesn't know your name Brother Liu Xian? Seriously, I'm convinced. If I let myself deal with the crisis of the Yellow Turbans, it is estimated that this Beihai City has now become a paradise for the Yellow Turban Bandits, and it has long been occupied by the Yellow Turban Bandits, so there will be nothing to do with me Liu Jie. ”

Liu Xian shook his head slightly, and said to Liu Jie seriously: "Brother, since we are all brothers in our own family, then there is no need to say more about these compliments." Seriously, since you recognize me as a brother, then I will also truly regard you as a brother. In this big Han, there are really many children who have the identity of the Han family. However, there are not many brothers in the family who are destined to get together and can drink wine and tea together. You're one. ”

"Haha, brother is right, we should be fateful. Speaking of which, you have already become an in-law relationship with Master Kong Rong, and this Beihai City can be regarded as half of your main city. In the future, you will have to come to Beihai more often, visit your brother more, as long as you come, all the expenses in Beihai will be regarded as my brother. Even if you want to go to Hualou to play, I will accompany you as a brother. ”

"Hehe, my brother laughed." Liu Xian waved his hand and said, "Brother, I want to talk to you now, well, that is, what are you going to do in the future?" ”

Liu Xian originally wanted to ask him what he thought of the general trend of the world of this big man, but he thought about it. Liu Jie, I'm afraid he really never thought about these things. Even, his own official position is ready to be given up at any time.

"What are I going to do in the future?" Liu Jie was a little puzzled, and was inexplicably stunned: "What else can we plan in the future?" I didn't think about it, anyway, I donated this official position, and now I can do it, which is what my father and mother have always wanted us to do, saying that if we can also be officials, then they will be blind to death. ”

"Forehead......" Liu Xian found that it might be really difficult to talk about things with Liu Jie.

"Okay, brother, why don't you tell me about your situation first? Are you really from Liu Miao and their own people? Liu Xian asked instead.

When Liu Jie heard Liu Xian ask this, he looked a little left and right on the spot, and there was a lot of embarrassment in his expression.

"What's wrong? Inconvenient to say? Liu Xian asked.

Liu Jie swallowed his saliva, and said with some difficulty: "That, that, hehe, don't hide it from Brother Liu Xian, after we say it, don't look down on us." ”

"Brother, where are these words? I, Liu Xian, make friends and recognize brothers, I don't look at his background, but only see whether everyone is sincere and can make friends. If it's the same person, then it's a brother. ”

"Okay, but please ask Brother Liu Xian to know about these, it's not enough for outsiders." Liu Jie said: "My Liu family is indeed from the same place as Liu Xuan's Liu family, but our two families have nothing to do with each other. The Liu family of Liu Xuan's family has always had people who have been officials in the court, but they don't look down on our family surnamed Liu. However, our ancestors have always said that our family surnamed Liu is also a member of the Han family, but there is no genealogy as evidence. ”

Then, my father thought of a way, and after preaching that our family was also a member of the Han family, he later got a family tree back. It is said that it was also seen by the head of Liu Xuan's family at that time, and it was proved to be true. Since then, our two Liu families can be called brothers, and they have begun to have contacts. After my father and mother died, I took out a large sum of money according to their last wishes, entrusted the Liu Xuan family, who was related to the court, and asked them to help donate an official position for me. That's it. ”

"I see, so what does your family do? It doesn't look like you're usually rich. Only then did Liu Xian know the details of how Liu Jie became the official position of the Taishou of Beihai County, and after figuring it out, he asked.

Liu Jie didn't think much about it, and responded directly: "Salt drying, my family has been drying salt on the beach for generations, and there is a salt farm that belongs to my family." ”

"Salt?" Liu Xian completely understood, it turned out that Liu Jie's family was drying salt, no wonder he had so much money.

Liu Jie lowered his voice at this time and said, "Brother, we are not official salt, so we ......"

Liu Xian understood at a glance, nodded and said, "Don't worry, whether it's official salt or private salt, I won't reveal it casually." However, in this regard, we may be able to make some trades. Of course, that's more on that later. ”

Liu Xian pressed this topic and said to Liu Jie: "Brother, what I say next, you have to think about it." You, the Beihai Taishou, are an official who was bought with money, and you don't do it safely. Take this incident as an example, the Yellow Turban Thieves are here, and if I'm not here, you're planning to flee first, right? ”

"If you don't escape, you still wait for the Yellow Turban Thieves to kill the officials and eat a big family?" Liu Jie did not deny it, and said a little confidently.

"Then you think that you just escaped, it's a big deal to be an official. That's what you think, right? ”

"Yes, it's all donated anyway, and it's not heartbreaking to lose my official position. As long as you have money, are you afraid that you won't be able to buy officials? Besides, I am also mentally prepared, maybe one day, someone in the court will spend more money to buy our current official position, so I will definitely have to let someone else be this official. Liu Jie's fat face showed a rare arrogance, the kind of arrogance of being rich.

"If that's what you think, you're wrong." Liu Xian stared at him and said, "Haven't you heard that officialdom is dangerous?" Sometimes, some boats are not so easy to get on, and it is not so easy to get on the boat and think about it. As a parent official, if Beihai City is attacked by the Yellow Turban Thieves, then the court will definitely have to be held accountable, and when the time comes, if you flee without a fight, it will be a big crime, a big crime of robbing your family and destroying your family. In addition, your family has money, and now that the DPRK and China are traitors, they only have money in their eyes, who will they take if they don't cut you? When the time comes, ask the holy decree of sin, this big man is so big in the world, you have nowhere to escape. Therefore, I advise my brother, this official, if you want to be an official, then you should be a good one, if you don't want to be one, then hurry up and take advantage of nothing to do, resign to the court and return home, and in the future, be a rich man. Of course, in today's world, thieves are rampant everywhere, and you, a rich man, probably shouldn't be stable. You are in this Beihai City, there are walls to defend it, if you are in your own house, thieves kill you, what will you use to keep your family property and money? ”

"In addition, don't look at this time, we have defended Beihai City, but those Yellow Turban Thieves will definitely not give up, especially this time when they lost their troops and formed a grudge with us, they will definitely remember it. The Taishan Yellow Turban Army does have an army of hundreds of thousands, so what about the next time they send more military horses to attack the city? Brother, have you thought about what to do? ”

Liu Jie was originally in the midst of repelling the siege of the Yellow Turban Army, and with his own officials and people, he was able to temporarily hold the Guangfen of Beihai. But now that Liu Xian said this, his excitement and excitement disappeared all of a sudden, and was replaced by six gods without a master.

Liu Jie is thirty or forty years old, but he is estimated to be a spoiled rich young master, who doesn't know much about human affairs and sophistication, and he is not very good at doing things. What he did is probably his father's deathbed confession.

Liu Xian could also see that it was estimated that his father and mother also saw that it was difficult for this son to return to his family's old business, and it was difficult to keep the family business, so he simply let him become an official. Or perhaps, they also felt the turmoil of the world, and they felt that only by becoming an official could they make this son live a peaceful and happy life.

Of course, maybe Liu Jie is not useless, he is not stupid and stupid, and in some respects, he seems to be quite shrewd. At least, he can really buy an official with money, and he is not an ordinary petty official, which proves that he should still have some specialties.

"There will be so many things, this, doesn't this mean that now I can't advance or retreat? So what can I do? ”

Liu Jie couldn't sit still, he stood up and walked back and forth in front of Liu Xian.

"Resigned? Not resigning? Resign or not? ......" Liu Jie kept repeating the words on his lips, not knowing how to decide for a while.

Although this is Liu Xian's statement, Liu Jie really listened to it, and really thought that there would really be many problems if he continued to be an official. If you don't do this official, you will also have a lot of trouble.

In fact, he is really not stupid, he doesn't even have any vision, he doesn't have any personal ideas. But this kind of world is obvious, if you don't become an official and go home to be a rich man, then as Liu Xian said, once you are targeted by thieves, then you will not have any self-protection power.

Of course, he also thought about recruiting troops and recruiting more villagers to protect him. But that's not the way to go, because how many people does he have to recruit to protect himself to be safe? A hundred? Three hundred? Thousand? Forget it, ten thousand. But what about 10,000? The Yellow Turban Army is hundreds of thousands.

What's more, Liu Jie's little abacus will also crackle. It's not too much to recruit nursing home members to protect themselves, even if it's a hundred, how much does this hundred people provide them with food and drink every day? You have to pay them separately to hire them, but you don't just have to provide them with food and drink. He is very rich, but he can't afford such an expense even if he has money.

Liu Jie himself really became more and more chaotic the more he thought about it.

Liu Xian naturally didn't really give him a question to make a decision, and said a little funny at the moment: "Brother, don't be bored, I'm just asking, right now, in fact, for my brother, it's good, not the worst." ”

"No, no, no, Brother Liu Xian, what you asked, Brother Wei thinks it is indeed very problematic. This time, I am fortunate to have my brother here, and I mobilized the people of the whole city to defend Beihai City. But what about next time? Thinking that there will be more Yellow Turban thieves in the future, my brother's heart will be bottomless. I feel that this official can't go on, it's too dangerous. If you continue like this, if you don't get killed by the Yellow Turban thief, you will be killed by the imperial court. But you won't be an official anymore......"

Liu Jie said with a bitter face: "This is not good, if I am not an official, who will protect my life and property at that time?" As an official here, at least there are people below to protect me, if there is no protection from the officials and soldiers of the government, once I am targeted by the thief army, this is also a death. “

"Brother, things really haven't gotten to this worst. Besides, if you are a brother who doesn't know what to do in the future, you don't know how to plan. I'm a brother, but I have some suggestions, do you want to hear them? “

"Think, think, brother, help me." Liu Jie's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly hugged his fist at Liu Xian.

"Brother doesn't have to be like this, just sit down and talk." Liu Xian waved his hand and said as if thinking for a while: "According to my words, brother, you should continue to be this official, and not only be a good one, but also be a good one." “

"It turns out that brother, you support me to continue to be an official, well, in fact, I don't want to resign from the official in my heart...... But the problem is that my brother doesn't know how to be a good official, and I don't know how to be a good official. Liu Jie said what was in his heart.

"It's easy to say how to be a good official. As the county guard of Beihai County, you can guard this one-third of an acre of land, and prevent the counties and localities under your rule from being violated by thieves again, and prevent the people under your rule from being harmed. In addition, let the people under your rule live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone will no longer have to go hungry, so that the people under your rule will have a livelihood and a way to live. This can be regarded as a good official. ”

Liu Xian said earnestly to Liu Jie: "If you can do this, then I, Liu Xian, will ensure that you have nothing to do in your life, and no one in the court can remove your official position." Don't forget, Ma Guiren is my righteous mother, she is in the capital now, if the traitor in the court wants to deal with his brother, then I, Liu Xian, will help you carry it, and I will never let you have an accident. “

When Liu Jie heard Liu Xian say that he wanted to protect him, he couldn't help but be a little moved, after all, this so-called brother was something he had only known for a short time.

Of course, I don't know why, when these words came out of Liu Xian's mouth, he believed that it was a very strange feeling. He felt that now that Liu Xian said that he would protect him, then he would definitely protect him and would not let him have an accident.

However, Liu Jie thought about it, and then said with a wry smile: "Brother Liu Xian, I really appreciate you from the bottom of my heart for my brother, but ...... But I'm afraid I can't do it, I can't do it. What you say, it's too hard. Not to mention the entire Beihai County, even if it is just this Beihai City, I can't make the people in the city live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer go hungry. There are a lot of homeless people in Beihai City, and even if they are these homeless people, I don't have the ability to let you have a job and a way to live. “

Liu Jie said very calmly, if you can't do it, you can't do it, don't talk about those vanities.

"You can't do it, I can."

Liu Xian said categorically: "If you serve me from now on and are willing to follow my arrangement, then I will help you do it, so that you can do this official with peace of mind." ”
