In the county government, only Zhong Xuan's voice was left talking.

Xu Chu stood aside, his face calm.

Liu Zhan listened carefully, sometimes nodding, sometimes asking questions......

When a person is focused on something, time tends to pass quickly.

After listening to Zhong Xuan's introduction, two hours had passed, and Liu Zhan was very pleased: Zhong Xuan was really intelligent, he was very smart and unusual, he was easy to handle all kinds of affairs, advanced and retreated in a certain way, and had proper methods, and he was a rare and capable official.

Liu Zhan arched his hand towards Zhong Xuan: "Brother Yuan Chang, listen to your words, you can read for ten years, and Zhan has been taught." Zhan has a request, and he also asks Brother Yuan Chang to agree. ”

Liu Zhan lowered his posture very low, and sincerely respected Zhong Xuan in front of him.

Zhong Xuan's face was solemn, and he got up and bowed deeply: "My king, but please instruct, you dare not do your best!" ”

"Zhan intends to invite Brother Yuan Chang to be the Minister of State, I don't know what Brother Yuan Chang wants?"

"Prime Minister? My king instructed that he should go all out, but this vassal state is quite appointed by the imperial court, I don't know ......" Zhong Xuan responded, but he was a little puzzled.

"Hehe, don't worry about Brother Yuanchang. Before coming to Yingchuan, Zhan and Liu Hong had already agreed on three chapters, eh, that is, the emperor, Brother Yuan Chang doesn't have to care about my attitude towards him, I have my own reason. The first of the so-called three chapters of the law is that after Yingchuan County was changed to a county, it was no longer under the control of the state government, and the officials in the country were no longer appointed and dismissed by the imperial court, and all were requested by the king. ”

Liu Zhan looked at Zhong Xuan and said with a smile.

After listening to Liu Zhan's words, Zhong Xuan's heart was shocked!

In this way, the Yingchuan Kingdom is very different from other princes' kingdoms, and it seems that my king must have a trump card in his hands that makes the emperor jealous! Otherwise, wouldn't it be a big violation of Emperor Shizu's legacy to act like this......

Liu Zhan glanced at Zhong Xuan, who was full of shock, and continued: "The second is that the Yingchuan Kingdom no longer pays taxes and grain to the imperial court, and the country's taxes are collected for its own use; The third is that the Yingchuan State can build its own army to protect the city, but it must not exceed 5,000 people. Of course, these three chapters are kept secret from the outside world, and they are also to save Liu Hong's face, and in addition, this king doesn't want to be too ostentatious. After speaking, he stopped making a sound and waited for Zhong Xuan to digest it slowly.

Zhong Xuan was stunned on the spot, and his inherent cognition collapsed......

After about a stick of incense, Zhong Xuan came back to his senses, walked in front of Liu Zhan, and knelt on the ground: "Zhong Xuan is willing to follow my king, try his best to assist my king, and govern my Yingchuan country with all his might." ”

"Good! Brother Yuan Chang, get up quickly, you and I should be commensurate with brothers in the future, ah-"

Liu Zhan stepped forward quickly and helped Zhong Xuan up.

"Thank you for your favor! I wish to die for my king! ”

This is Zhong Xuan, with excellent eyesight, and has already seen from Liu Zhan's words and deeds that Liu Zhan is definitely not a thing in the pool, and he will definitely soar into the sky one day.

……

Coming out of the county government, it was already sunset, Liu Zhan led Xu Chu back to the mansion, and after a simple meal, he found Xun Yu and Xun Yu to discuss many matters such as the county reform and the country.

After nearly four hours of deliberation, it was finally agreed that a ceremony for changing the county to a state would be held in ten days to announce the tax reduction and exemption of the whole county; Xun Yu served as the state minister, in charge of various affairs inside and outside the palace, and did Shang affairs; Xun Yu served as Lang Zhongling, in charge of the doctors and Lang in the palace; Xu Chu served as the lieutenant, in charge of the military horses and the security of the country; The appointment and dismissal of the rest of the officials was planned by Xun Yu as a whole, and it was enough to submit it to Liu Zhan for decision.

After the discussion, Liu Zhan agreed with Xun Yu and Xun Yu on the specific time to return to Yingyin.

More than half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the Yingchuan country has been running smoothly according to Liu Zhan's plan, and the people have shouted long live, and the major families have contributed money and food to show their loyalty, and have recommended the talents of the clan to serve in the palace, and mobilized the young and strong laborers of all ethnic groups to join the Yingchuan army, which was rebuilt on the basis of the 2,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, and has now expanded to 5,000 people.

For a time, the news of the great governance of Yingchuan flew all over the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and the wealthy families and officials at all levels from all over the country heard of Liu Zhan's name, and many scholars came to Yingchuan to travel to study and find jobs.

……

Shangdang County.

In a mountain forest.

A team of more than 100 people is resting in the forest.

That's right, this team is the men and horses led by Liu Bei. In quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Bei's three brothers also made a lot of meritorious contributions, although they played this side game, they also killed several Yellow Turban Qu Shuai. For this reason, Lu Zhi wrote to the court to ask for Liu Bei's official, but there was no news. In desperation, Liu Bei decided to go to his senior brother Gongsun Zhan. At present, Gongsun Chan is wrestling with Wuhuan Qiu in Beiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong. Liu Bei felt that this was a good time for him to make meritorious contributions, as long as he made enough meritorious contributions, he would naturally be able to get an official position.

In the woods, Liu Bei had a sad face, staring at more than 100 celebrities and horses not far away, a little distracted.

At this moment, Zhang Fei ran over with an angry face: "Big brother, from the time you came out of the city to now, you haven't said a word, what is the big brother's plan?" ”

"What are you going to do? Aren't we going to vote for my senior brother Gongsun Zhan? Liu Bei didn't look back, and replied to Zhang Fei.

"No, so-and-so is it to say, why? Why can he Liu Zhan be crowned king, and even the eunuch Cao Apu has become the prime minister of Jinan! The eldest brother can't ask for an official and a half-job, isn't the credit of our brothers enough? ”

Zhang Fei stared at the ring of eyes, panting.

"Crowned king?" Liu Bei suddenly had a flash of inspiration and laughed, "Haha, third brother, you are really my lucky star, wake up the dreamer with a word!" Haha......"

The second monk Zhang Feizhang was confused, and scratched his head in place.

"Third brother, eldest brother, my surname is also Liu, haha......" Liu Bei got up and laughed on his back.

"Big brother, what about the surname Liu, didn't you still get any benefits?"

"How stupid the third brother is! Haha, my birthplace can be traced back to the fief of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, and my surname is Liu, it is very likely that I am the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan! ”

"That'...... Big brother can also be crowned king? ”

Zhang Fei reacted a little, stared wide-eyed, and said.

"That can't be, but I can get a lot of good for you and my brother! However, it is not enough for you and my brother to say this, and we need to make everyone in the world think so. Go and call the second brother, you and my brother have a good plan, haha......" Liu Bei's eyes were full of longing, as if he had seen his own rise.

"Hey!"

Although Zhang Fei didn't know Liu Bei's specific thoughts, he could also see that something good was coming.

After a while, Guan Yu arrived, and the three brothers secretly discussed the issue of Liu Bei's surname.

After a night of deliberation, the three brothers agreed that in the current situation, they could no longer vote for Gongsun Zhan, and they should hurry back to Luoyang, make some contacts, find a way to make a fuss about Liu Bei's appearance, and correct Liu Bei's name in front of the world......

In addition, Liu Bei decided to go to Yingchuan and talk to Liu Zhan everywhere, although Liu Bei had already rejected Liu Zhan in his heart, but for the sake of his own grand cause, Liu Bei decided to "grind" Liu Zhan down no matter what......
