Seven or eight days later, the counting day is already more than half of the lunar month.

The north wind is as tight as a day, blowing on people's faces like a knife. The snow is flying, and when you are in the wilderness, the scenery from a few hundred steps away is no longer visible.

Cai Yong's family is from Chen Liu, and he has lived in seclusion in the warm Wu County for ten years, so Cai Yan lived to be almost fourteen years old, and he never came to Hebei once.

Now not only is it here, but it is also the coldest Youzhou, and it is still the coldest festival at the end of the month, which is really miserable. The old and young of the family walked so slowly, and it took seven days to walk from Wuji to Jixian County through three counties.

"I'm frozen, I'm frozen, it's so cold in a leather jacket and a charcoal stove, how do the people of Youzhou survive in winter." Cai Yan was trembling in the carriage, she was already petite and thin, the little girl read at home on weekdays and did not exercise, and her body was very weak.

"No, you must endure it, there has been no news from my senior brother for so long, I can't see Liu Youzhou and ask for understanding, how can I rest assured, I won't be cold if I endure it."

After a few spiritual hints, it lasted for a long time, and in the afternoon, the carriage finally entered Jixian County.

Cai Yong is a famous person in the world, of course, he doesn't need a guest house, he knows that Li Su has a very strong relationship with Liu Bei of Jixian County, so he went straight to the county government to deliver the post. The little officials under the county order, I heard that it was Li Changshi's mentor and the old man Cai who was the great Confucian in the world came to vote, of course, he came out to greet him and arranged everything.

But when Cai Yong asked about Li Su's whereabouts, the county officials said that they didn't know, they only knew that the front line should be in full swing, and they were only the yamen in charge of civil affairs, and they did not have a first-hand front-line military intelligence report.

In the end, they still found Lu Su, who rose with Liu Bei and rose to Jixian County, and Lu Su said that he could help them arrange to see the envoy.

Theoretically, the official positions of county magistrate and county magistrate will have rank and rank according to the size of the county, but all county magistrates and county lieutenants are only two levels: in the counties with county orders, the county magistrates and county lieutenants are all 300 stones; In the county where the county magistrate is set up, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant are all 200 stones.

Even if Cao Cao served as the northern lieutenant of Luoyang back then, it would not be much higher. It's nothing more than that Luoyang, as the national capital, should be divided into several Cheng and Wei.

But in fact, even if they are all county officials of 300 stone and county order counties, their powers are also superior and inferior. From May to July this year, when Lu Su was the county governor of Liangxiang County, the authority at hand and the experience gained in daily work were obviously not as good as being a county magistrate in Jixian County after August.

As a large county where the state is located, Jixian County's miscellaneous civil affairs are very tricky and very tempering people's political talents. is the so-called misfortune of three lives, and the county is attached to Guo; The evil is full of Ying, and Guo is attached to the provincial capital. With so many powerful people coming and going, it is very difficult to control the scene.

However, Liu Bei is a hands-off shopkeeper for civil affairs, most of the time he is in charge of military affairs and rebellion, and all civil affairs are left to Lu Su to deal with casually. also helped Liu Bei raise some military rations and front-line military supplies, which was much better than Xiao He's logistics in Hanzhong back then. Lu Su, who is only 17 years old, is a little anxious even if he just governs a county, and at the same time he grows rapidly.

Cai Yong was quite surprised to see that Lu Su was young and looked only slightly older than Li Su, and he was actually able to be the county leader of Jixian County. The two chatted casually, talking about the righteousness of the world, the daily life of the people, and asked about their origins and personal circumstances, Cai Yong soon praised Lu Su's vision and insight, and heard that he was also from the south, which was even more cordial.

"The afterlife is terrifying, it's really a manufacturable material. Liu County Ling actually relieved to hand over all the affairs of a county to a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man, and he was in charge of it for half a year, and there was no mistake. ”

Lu Su smiled bitterly, but there was also gratitude in his expression: "Where, for half a year in office, there have been more than a dozen mistakes." When the money and grain account is contacted for the first time, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, or the small deficit in the reconciliation account will not be seen when taking over.

When I was in Liangxiang, there were two roads, and there were three in Jixian County, each with a deficit of at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. When I was paying taxes in the autumn, I was deceived by the people below, and I really wanted to return the compensation myself, but I was afraid that after half a year, the compensation of two or three million yuan would not be enough, otherwise I would have to dismiss the official and punish the crime. It was still Liu County's sympathy for me when I first started, and the gap of these two millions of dollars was filled.

When I went north to Li Changshi, I still regarded myself as a 'guide and gift', and I pretended to be a generous and heroic person. Now calculated, the money and food given to Liu County Ling/Li Changshi to quell the rebellion at that time are not as much as the losses I have since I became an official. Working under Liu County's subordinates, that is really the grace of knowing the encounter, this Han Dynasty, there are still a few commanders who can be so tolerant of the negligence and mistakes of their subordinate officials. ”

Cai Yong was originally just chatting, and he and the people in Liu Bei's camp have not crossed paths so far. He admired Li Su, but felt that Liu Bei himself was just a vulgar general.

Now listening to Lu Su's words, it has changed a lot: I didn't expect that the Han Dynasty still had a chief who lost money to make up for the mistakes of his subordinates and let his subordinates grow quickly.

Of course, Liu Bei must also be principled, and it is impossible to be a bad person. He also first determined Lu Su's true character, knowing that it was impossible for him to be corrupt, but he made mistakes when he was young and inexperienced, so he gave him a chance to change.

And this kind of way of employing people is destined for Lu Su to be a county magistrate for half a year, and the growth rate of officialdom experience is equivalent to that of others for two or three years - Lu Su himself has to fight for energy, and he must take the initiative to work overtime.

"It seems that Liu Bei, a young man, is also a rare face-to-face minister in Youzhou, although it is only a county order of state governance, and now he has made meritorious contributions, and his future is limitless. In the future, if Liu Youzhou is old, will the peace of Youzhou be maintained by this Liu Bei? ”

Cai Yong couldn't help but think like this in his heart, but he quickly pulled his thoughts back. Anyway, he doesn't plan to avoid trouble in Youzhou at the moment, and it's useless to think about this, at most he just buries a spare tire seed in his heart.

The two chatted and chatted, and a person from outside the county government came back to report, and said a few words in Lu Su's ear, and Lu Su hurriedly got up:

"Didn't Cai Gong and Ling Yan want to find the envoy to ask Li Changshi for news, just now replied that the envoy is free, so I won't delay your business, come on, prepare the car, I will send Cai Gong to the envoy's mansion together."

The three of them got into the car, and after arriving in the car, Cai Yan saw that his father and Lu Su didn't talk about those government affairs topics anymore, so he had the courage to take out a letter and secretly asked Lu Su to read it: "Lu Xiancheng, I heard that your friendship with my senior brother is also extraordinary, help me see how the wording of this petition letter is?"

You said that if my senior brother is still suffering from drinking wind and snow in Liaoxi, or if there is any inconvenience, I ask you to let him come back, so that you can agree? You won't be angry, will you? ”

When Lu Su heard this, he couldn't help but be curious, so he took the article and looked at it.

"The concubine brother protects the captain of Wuhuan and supports the festival chief Shi Li Su, who is fortunate to be reused by the imperial court and entrusted with the Xuanjie, and the grace of heaven is extraordinary...... This year has not reached the crown, the cultivation is less than seven feet, the strength can not bind the chicken, wading far away from the desert, unbearable cold and suffering, and the accompanying are all strong, the concubine heard the "poem" cloud ......"

After looking at it for a while, Lu Su couldn't help but laugh: "This is an imitation of Aunt Ban's essay for my brother's life, I didn't expect Brother Boya to have such a senior sister who values the friendship of the same family, it's a pity, but don't worry, although I don't know his recent situation, I don't want to put Brother Boya in danger." As far as I know, Brother Boya is now the most useful and appreciated staff member of the envoy. ”

"That's good, I'm worried about it." Cai Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly thought in his heart: No conscience! Since it's okay, don't report it safely and come back!

Lu Su is a kind person, of course he will not ask about other people's privacy. Seeing that Cai Yan is so young, he just thinks that he hasn't heard anything, or thinks that other people's brothers and sisters are pure, just like brothers and sisters.

The carriage soon arrived at the governor's mansion, Lu Su reported on his behalf, and the housekeeper heard that it was the great Confucian Cai Yong, and he would not stop him, and when he walked outside the second gate, Liu Yu had already personally greeted him.

"Brother Bo, I haven't seen you for ten years, but your demeanor is still the same." Liu Yu served as Zongzheng in Beijing ten years ago, and Cai Yong was still a speaker and an official in Beijing at that time, so the two met ten years ago, but they couldn't talk about a deep friendship.

"Lao Liu made Jun take the time to see it, and it was very disturbing." Cai Yong was very humble and polite, and put on a low posture in the wilderness.

"Brother Bo is a great Confucianism in the world, the authenticity of this dynasty's scriptures and righteousness, and the history of the country, how can you talk about the top and bottom of the name! What's more, this time, Brother Bo wrote "The Blessing of the Palace", which made great contributions to the suppression of rebellion and harm to the imperial court and the stabilization of the hearts of the people in the world. No matter how polite it is, it's just pretentious! Liu Yu pretended to have a good face, and when he came up, he talked to Cai Yong.

In terms of age, Cai Yong is over fifty years old, and Liu Yu is two or three years younger than him, so it is not polite to show respect in this way.

Cai Yan followed her father, and when she first came in, she wanted to ask about business, but because of etiquette, she never interjected when the adults were polite. Listening to Liu Yu's finally blowing to each other on the "Theory of Happiness in the Palace", she hurriedly relied on her young age and lied slightly:

"Liu Yuanjun, you said that the "Theory of the Blessings of the Palace" has had an effect, but has Senior Brother Li made contributions to the imperial court? He has been gone for more than a month, and there has been no news, and we ...... My father is very worried, lest the most proud disciple have something to lose. My senior brother has not yet reached the crown, and he can't bear the pain of the desert wind and snow, so please let him come back as soon as possible...... He, he's really okay, right? ”

Liu Yu: "Oh, this is Ling Zhaoji, right?" When I was in Luoyang, I met him once, when he was a three-year-old baby, and now he is so old. It seems that the brothers are harmonious, and the friendship between the same family is very good. If I knew you would be worried about Boya, I would have informed you.

Brother Bo Jiao knows the severity of the matter, and he will definitely not falsely spread the country's military intelligence. Boya has recently also helped Xuande to surrender and rebel in western Liaoning, and Huairou has scattered mixed Hu - he has already made great contributions, with his three-inch tongue and the concept of destiny in the theory of "Fortune in the Palace", he lobbied the head of Wuhuan, Qiu Liju, to surrender, and also sent the head of the puppet emperor to the imperial court.

The day before yesterday, I had already played the meritorious recital to the imperial court, and there was also a clear statement that Brother Bo and Boya worked together to write a book to calm people's hearts, and it should be sent to Luoyang at the beginning of the first month. If you are fast, you can receive a reward from the imperial court before the Shangyuan Festival. If it is freezing today, since Brother Bo is worried about the safety of his disciples, why not stay in Jixian County to celebrate the New Year together. ”

Cai Yan listened to Liu Yu's understatement, but his eyes suddenly brightened many times, and he was leisurely fascinated: "What? The senior brother actually relied on his eloquence to persuade Shan Yu to surrender and send the puppet emperor?! ”

This...... What a credit this is.

It's great.

I don't know if the examples in "Cai Li Gong Asks Right" written by me were used when persuading Chief Hu, if only they could be used, Cai Yan himself would feel very honored.

She immediately decided to persuade her father to stay in Jixian County and wait for her senior brother to celebrate the New Year together, and by the way, take a look at that glorious moment.
