Chapter 220: County Officials

Liu Xian is clearly asking for benefits from their government.

However, Zhou Shun took this for granted, especially according to what Liu Xian said, other local governments would talk to Liu Xian about the food problem for the relief of the people, so that the debts that should have been borne by the Julu County Government could be grafted onto those local officials. In this way, it can also be easier to get away from Guo Dian, otherwise, Guo Dian will bear this huge debt of tens of millions, which is indeed a bit of a big pressure.

Moreover, he doesn't think that Liu Xian's current request is excessive.

You must know that now in the entire land of Jizhou, all industries are deserted, and there are indeed too many people who have died, and many cities have many ownerless industries. These ownerless properties can also be regarded as part of the debt repaid to Liu Xian and given to Liu Xian, which is also equivalent to reducing the burden on their government.

Zhou Shun thought about it and felt that there was no big problem, so he agreed: "Since this is the case, it's okay, I will tell Guo Tai what Liu Gongzi said." Then it's up to Liu Gongzi to talk to them. However, no matter what, Guo Taishou's meaning is that the people everywhere can no longer be starved to death. Therefore, I also asked Liu Gongzi to meet the food requirements of the local government as much as possible. Now we are also trying to raise food in Julu County, and I believe that in another month or two, grain will be transported to our Julu County from all over the place, and the situation will be alleviated at that time. ”

"Please rest assured, Master Zhou, in fact, even if Guo Taishou didn't send you to talk about it, I would have already planned to release grain to the local government. In the final analysis, this son is also a giant deer person, and he must not watch so many fathers and villagers starving and cold. ”

Liu Xian said, thought for a while, and said: "In addition, you can also tell Guo Taishou to rest assured, although I, Liu Xian, am a businessman, I am definitely not a black-hearted businessman." When negotiating with local governments, they will not sit on the ground and raise prices, nor will they sell to them at the price of grain in this world. My opinion, as Guo Taishou talked about some time ago, I exchanged grain for some materials from local governments, so it may be fairer to exchange things for things. ”

"That's very good. In this case, I don't know when Liu Gongzi will go to discuss these matters with local governments? "Zhou Shun is Guo Dian's Taishou, and he is indeed a little anxious for Guo Dian.

He and Guo Dian are a family, and if something goes wrong with Julu, the court will be held responsible. I'm afraid that Guo Dian, the Taishou, will have to be sprinkled, and if Guo Dian is withdrawn, then he, the master, will be the end.

Julu County can't have any more accidents.

"The local government sent people to Yangshi County. If you don't come, I will go to Yang's County to discuss these matters with them. ”

"Oh? That's right, anyway, Zhou is here if he doesn't come. It's still early now, why don't you accompany Liu Gongzi to meet the officials of the local government? After all, it is not the officials from the local government who come from various places, and these officials may not be able to be the masters. If you can, Zhou can take a spin from it, in short, you won't let Liu Gongzi suffer a loss. ”

"Haha, that's the best. Okay, let's have lunch first, and then go to Yang's County, okay? ”

"Then it's bothering."

"Master Zhou is polite."

Liu Xian called Huang Zhong and the village chief Li Zheng Liang Ji to accompany him to wash the dust for Zhou Shun.

This wine has passed three rounds, and the discussion is quite pleasant.

It is also possible that Guo Dian deliberately confessed to Zhou Shun, so Zhou Shun was quite polite to Liu Xian and did not take a stand.

In addition, Liu Xian also learned some news from the outside world from Zhou Shun's mouth.

As Liu Xian knows, the history is.

After the officers and soldiers of the imperial court defeated Zhang Bao in Quyang, the officers and soldiers quickly moved in and went to various places to purge the remnants of the yellow turbans.

However, Huangfu Song, as the pastor of Jizhou, stayed and shifted his focus to the government affairs of those places that had been recovered by the imperial court officers and soldiers.

And Zhu Jun led the army to the Nanyang area.

As for the capital, since October, those rebels were summoned to Luoyang and waited in Beijing for more than two months, but the imperial court has not given a single explanation, and there is not even the reward that those rebels originally hoped for.

But it's not absolute, some leaders of the rebel army who have connections, know how to run the drill camp, and have some money, they have some connections, but they have obtained an official and a half position, and they have taken office immediately.

As a matter of fact, there are already some semi-open acts of accepting bribes and selling official positions in Beijing. If the leaders of the rebel army, they want to get an official and a half-position, and there is no one to say anything for them, then they can only give gifts, gifts to the palace attendants.

Of course, there are also some rebel leaders who gave gifts, but did not reply. This is also the result of no one in the DPRK and China.

In fact, in the palace now, it is basically up to the ten permanent servants to have the final say, and who to give the official title is a matter of their words, among them, the ten permanent servants are headed by Zhang Rang.

Listening to what Zhou Shun said, he talked about Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Because Liu Xian sent them some money, they were not as embarrassed in the capital as they were in history, and their small life in the capital was still good. It's just that Liu Bei didn't get a reward from the imperial court.

There are rumors that Liu Bei also gave a gift, of course, there is no evidence, but he did not get a gift from the court.

The reason for this is because of Lu Zhi's implication.

Lu Zhi was too strong and offended the ten permanent servants. Therefore, the ten permanent servants deliberately embarrassed Liu Bei, but they did not give a reward. As for the gift-giving, it was also spread by the people in the palace.

For these rumors, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both asked Liu Bei and asked Liu Bei if there was such a thing. Liu Bei naturally wouldn't admit it.

Since then, there has been a little bit of the same hiccup in history.

Liu Bei "encountered" Zhang Jun in the imperial court, and Liu Bei presented his exploits to Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun is also an upright person, saying that he met the emperor, directly reprimanded the ten permanent servants, and asked the emperor to kill the ten permanent servants to correct the court. But it's a pity that the emperor favored Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants, and was accused of Zhang Jun by Zhang Rang and others, and the emperor expelled Zhang Rang from the court.

But after this incident, the ten permanent servants also felt that their food was a little ugly, and they were worried that the rebels gathered in the capital would cause chaos, so they came up with a plan to let the rebels return home and wait for the imperial court to reward them.

In this way, Liu Bei was finally named the lieutenant of Anxi County, Zhongshan Prefecture, Dingzhou, and Keri went to work.

In this way, Liu Bei's righteous army, which can fight well and survive a hundred battles, was disbanded. Only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei to take office.

Liu Xian estimated the time, and estimated that the three brothers had almost returned from the capital. Anxi County, Zhongshan Prefecture, Dingzhou, is actually Quyang City further north, and when they come back to Anxi County, they will pass through Liulin Village.

Liu Xian believes that they will definitely come to Liulin Village to find themselves.

If Liu Xian didn't have Huang Zhong by his side, Liu Xian would really be a little worried. But now, Liu Xian will not worry about being conspired by Liu Bei again. Anyway, it is impossible for Liu Bei to come to rob it openly, if he comes to the dark, he has Huang Zhong's guard, and Liu Bei can't please him.

However, Liu Xian was looking forward to meeting Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. These two super fierce generals, Liu Xian dreamed of collecting them. It's a pity that these two generals are people who value love and righteousness, and are loyal and righteous, since they followed Liu Bei, and Liu Bei didn't do anything bad, at least they are a benevolent gentleman on the surface, so Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will not abandon Liu Bei.

Therefore, Liu Xian has a long-term investment plan for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Knowing these situations from Zhou Shun's mouth, Liu Xian's heart was also a little prepared.

In addition, there are some news like Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo and others, Liu Xian listened to and remembered, and compared it with the history he knew to see if it was the same as history.

Basically, there are not many differences, and it is estimated that some details are different.

History is still that history, which is also what Liu Xian wants to see. At least when he didn't have that kind of force to control everything, Liu Xian didn't want this history to change much because of the role of his butterfly wings.

In addition, there is news of the Yellow Turban riots in some places.

It seems that this Zhou Shun is still more competent as Guo Dian's master, at least he pays attention to many things, otherwise, he would not be able to tell Liu Xian.

In the afternoon, Liu Xian and Zhou Shun went to Yangshi County together.

Zhou Shun was also escorted by a team of fifty officers and soldiers, and they all went together.

Because of the fact that Liu Xian was ambushed in Heze, Liang Ji and Yu Jin arranged for the people in the dark camp to open the way first without Liu Xian's arrangement, so as to prevent the same attack from happening again.

Of course, these centaurs won't let Zhou Shun find out.

Took a raft to Yangshi County.

Someone had already informed Wen Shen, and he took a group of officials from Yangshi County to greet him at the city gate. Liu Xianlai alone, naturally there is no need for this, the main thing is the relationship between Zhou Shun and him. No matter how you say that Zhou Shun is a Shangguan, he naturally has to meet this county order.

Not only Wen Shen, but also the officials sent by the nearby counties also came out to greet them.

The two sides met, had a greeting, and then went to the Yang County office.

After not coming to Yangshi County for a while, Liu Xian found that the appearance of Yangshi County had changed a lot.

The first is the sanitation situation, the streets in Yangshi County are quite clean and tidy, and the destroyed houses have either been demolished or are being rebuilt.

In addition, there are some shops, most of which were originally owned by Yang Jie and other landlords and tyrants, but now they have also resumed normal business.

And the streets are no longer so deserted, there are already some people shopping. Looking at those people, their faces are also much better, and they no longer look ragged with vegetables.

Of course, the fact is that most of the people on the street are busy with something and are not really wandering around.

After passing through the Qian Inn, there are still no customers, but at a glance, it seems that it is already open for business. The interior is also neatly furnished, and I believe that after the people's economy improves, there will definitely be people who will come to patronize.

The people take food as the sky, Liu Xian has made a lot of dishes from later generations, and will take the Qian Inn as a pilot, and will make more colorful and fragrant dishes in the future. Especially the wine, which has now begun to be brewed, after the better and stronger wine is brewed, Liu Xian believes that it will definitely be able to make a name for itself in one fell swoop.

It is conceivable that these inns, regardless of whether they play the role of collecting information and intelligence for themselves, will at least be full of money.

Liu Xian ignored the matter of the Qian inn and went to the Yang County office.

Because Zhou Shun was there, it was naturally inconvenient for Liu Xian to sit on the main seat. And Zhou Shun did not overstep, or Wenshen was the local magistrate sitting in the main seat, he and Liu Xian were the first left and one right, and then the local officials.

Including Wen Shen, all the officials of Yang's County and officials from other counties first formally met with Zhou Shun, and then gave Liu Xian a salute.

After Wen Shen asked them all to sit down, he opened his mouth and said to Liu Xian: "Liu Xiangongzi, they are Zhaozhou, Nanren, Renxian, Pingxiang, Nanhe, Guanggan, Quzhou, Guangzong, Guangnian, Zhuzhang and other counties from Julu County. They all heard about Liu Xiangongzi's righteous deeds, and learned that Liu Xiangongzi, you have recently obtained a large amount of food. Therefore, they all wanted to come to meet Liu Gongzi and ask Liu Gongzi to help the people in their counties to solve the food crisis of the people in their counties. ”

"This is Bo Bixing, the lord of Zhaozhou County, this is Cheng Wusheng of Nanlu County, and this is Liang Fei ...... of Zhangzhang County."

Wen Shen introduced all the officials from these counties to Liu Xian in one go.

Liu Xian greeted them one by one, and secretly remembered them, especially Bo Bixing, the county lord of Zhaozhou, because Zhaozhou County is in the north of Yang's County, very close, if there is no accident, Zhaozhou County is the next county seat that Liu Xian wants to attack.

After getting to know everyone, Liu Xian said: "The matter of my son's giving porridge and food in Yang's County is just a trivial matter, and it is just a little bit of personnel for my father and fellow villagers." So, not commendable. Your counties, all of which belong to Julu County, are all in the center of the whirlpool of this Yellow Turban Riot, and I believe that the situation in your counties will not be much better than the situation in Yang County. So, falling into a food crisis, these are all predictable. ”

Liu Xian said, and brought out what he had said to Zhou Shun: "Now I can clearly tell you that your intention is the same as that of Zhou Shun. I have also talked to Zhou Zhubo, and the batch of grain I have recently obtained can indeed alleviate the current crisis for you first. But what I want to explain is that this son is a businessman, you need food, I can't give it to you for nothing, right? Before you came, did you think about what you would pay to get my food? ”

"Do you want to buy money from me Liu Xian, or do you exchange things for something? All of this requires a solution, right? ”

In fact, Wen Shen had already sent someone to report to Liu Xian, these guys really didn't have any preparations, they just came to ask Liu Xian to go to their county town to give alms, and basically didn't think about taking things to exchange food with Liu Xian.

That is, as I said earlier, they have fallen into a kind of habitual thinking. They all thought that Liu Xian could give soup porridge in Yangshi County to feed tens of thousands of people, so now that Liu Xian has so much food in his hands, why can't he go to their county seat to give alms?

Oh, they don't know what Liu Xian got after giving soup and food in Yangshi County.

If they knew, then they wouldn't think so.
