Sitting in the courtyard, Yuan Shu told everyone about the current situation, according to the third generation, today's Han Dynasty, first of all, should find a way to make the country rich, whether it is business affairs, or taxes, should give priority to enriching the treasury, everyone is despicable businessmen, a strong suppression of commerce, Yuan Shu thinks this is not right, from the situation in Xizhou, it seems that commerce is the most to make the country rich.

In addition, on the seaway, Yuan Shu vaguely remembered that at the time when Wang Fu served as the assassin of Yangzhou, the Yangzhou Navy was out all the year round, and the gold was transported to the treasury of the Han Dynasty one by one.

Yuan Shu repeatedly emphasized the importance of overseas, if Wang Fu's policy could be continued at that time, I am afraid that the wealth brought back by the Han from overseas is enough for the Han to destroy Guishuang!! It's a pity that today's officials do not value the fullness of the treasury and the prosperity of the country like the Legalists, nor do they value the wealth of the common people like the Confucians, they only care about the treatment of the scholars, if the treatment is good, that is, the country attaches importance to the virtuous, if it is not good enough, it is to despise the great sages, and the country will not be a country.

Of course, they are all scholars, and they are their own interests in their eyes, which is not wrong, what makes Zhuge Liang and others admire is that Yuan Shu is the most powerful member of this scholar, and he is also the most powerful member of it, he can jump out of his position, look up to the people at the bottom, and even the entire Han world, therefore, everyone is also willing to listen to him talk about his thoughts, speaking of which, they have also benefited a lot.

As for the evening, Yuan Shu put away the book, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go and do your own work."

Everyone retreated, but Liu Mastiff did not leave, walked to Yuan Shu's side, and said, "Shijun, I still have something to ask you for...", Yuan Shu's forehead was dripping with sweat, he nodded, and said, "Just ask." ”

"Maybe go to the study?"

"No, there's no one else here, just say it."

Liu Mastiff had no choice but to continue: "Father deliberately asked me to go to Shangshutai to do everything... But I have never spoken to Xing Gong, I don't know what to prepare...", Yuan Shu smiled and said, "You don't have to prepare... Your Majesty wants you to be familiar with the affairs of Shang Shutai, Shang Shutai has been quite busy over the years, you can go and take a look, but you can't do it if you work together..."

"In Shangshutai, Xing Gong is a close friend of Emperor Xiaokang, has been with him for many years, and has good morals, you don't have to prepare any big gifts, as for Xun Yu, he was a playmate of the Son of Heaven when he was young, and he was also one of the subordinate officials of the East Palace, and he has a good relationship with the Son of Heaven, you don't have to prepare anything, but this Guo Jia, he is a disciple of the prince, he has acted many times, and he has taught your younger brother, this person is not very easy to get along with..."

Yuan Shu thought about it, and suddenly said: "You go to my study, in the third column, there is a letter, which is written by the prince himself, it is a letter with my father, you take it, but it will be given to him, for the prince's relics, presumably he will also be very happy, and he will naturally be grateful to you, and will not embarrass you....", hearing Yuan Shu say this, Liu Mastiff said with some hesitation: "It is a letter written by the prince to the old lady, how can I give it to someone like this..."

"It's okay, in my place, it's just a piece of waste paper, it doesn't have any effect, you just take it..."

Yuan Shu didn't care too much.

Liu Mastiff nodded, and went to the study, and after a while, he came here with the letter, Yuan Shu said impatiently: "Okay, I'm going to be busy with my own affairs, you can leave quickly!" ”

Liu Mastiff bowed to Yuan Shu, and then walked out.

Waiting for Liu Mastiff to leave, Yuan Shu leaned down in pain, one hand kept beating his back, under this severe pain, he could barely get up, fortunately, the slave hurriedly came, helped Yuan Shu up, and handed him the crutches, which made Yuan Shu walk towards the study little by little, the kind of pain that pierced his heart, so that he almost couldn't help but take the medicine, but he remembered Hua Tuo's words, although this medicine can reduce the pain, it is harmful to him.

Enduring the severe pain, he walked to the house, and said slowly, "Don't tell anyone..."

The servant nodded and did not speak again.

As Yuan Shu thought, the Son of Heaven just wanted Liu Mastiff to be familiar with Shangshutai in advance, others don't know, but the Son of Heaven knows very well, after Wang Fu, Shangshutai's responsibilities are very huge, such a power, Shangshuling has become the most important official position in the court, of course, it will definitely be reduced in the future, and the reason why there is no reduction at present is because of Xing Ziang, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, these people, the Son of Heaven are trustworthy.

When Xing Ziang resigns, Shangshutai will definitely usher in a layoff, but today's decrees are indeed implemented in Shangshutai, as the prince, if he does not pay enough attention to Shangshutai, it will definitely lead to a catastrophe in the future, the Son of Heaven thought, even if he told him hundreds of times, it was not as good as him to take a look in person, so he directly let Liu Mastiff go to Shangshutai, from the beginning is Yuan Shao's policy, implemented by Shangshutai, so let Liu Mastiff go to supervise.

However, the Son of Heaven did not let Liu Mastiff go with the ministers of the East Palace, but only let the prince go alone, and the rest of the people wanted to follow Liu Bei and continue to implement official learning.

Originally, the families in the south were all weak and completely incomparable to the north, but after several suppressions by Emperor Xiaokang and today's son, the northern family no longer has the strength it used to be, that is, the Yuan family, and they also send their children to the official school in a proper manner, and they dare not disobey, but the south is different, the south is still taught by the elders of the family, and will not be sent to the official school.

This is a very serious problem for Liu Bei, so before traveling, Liu Bei specially came to the palace to meet the Son of Heaven.

For this clan, the Son of Heaven is still very respectful, not to mention how he recorded it in the Book of Heaven, to this day, he has obviously become an indispensable minister in the country, in the heart of the Son of Heaven, this, as well as Cao Cao, are all with the three princes, perhaps, Liu Bei is more suitable for the position of Situ than Cao Cao, if Cao Cao is the Situ, according to his temperament, I am afraid that he will be a maverick Situ like Wang Fu!

Although such a person can bring great changes to the Han, but the Son of Heaven still doesn't like this kind of Situ very much, he hopes that the temple is still under his control, everything is within his own plan, he doesn't want a wild horse to pull the big cart of the temple, running wildly, so it is easy for the owner of the carriage to be thrown off.

Out of the importance of Liu Bei, in the face of Liu Bei, the Son of Heaven is usually very gentle, Liu Bei entered the Houde Palace, sat in front of the Son of Heaven, and greeted for a long time, Liu Bei then talked about the things in the south, the Son of Heaven naturally knows the things in the south, in his heart, he is going to do something to the south sooner or later, Father has ruled Yangzhou, so that the south has a tendency to raise its head, then he must surpass Father and let the south be completely revitalized.

Liu Bei said directly: "However, the minister is not worried, there is one person in the entourage, and it can be done!" ”

The Son of Heaven looked at him with some doubts, since you are not worried, then why did you come to me for me?? He still cooperated with Liu Bei, pretending to be different, and asked, "I don't know who it is?" ”

"Full of favors!"

Before Liu Bei could speak, the Son of Heaven had already thought that it was this person, but he still nodded suddenly and said, "It turned out to be this person!" ”

Liu Bei said again: "However, I want to secondment the eight hundred northern army for the use of Manjun.. I wonder if Your Majesty may agree? ”

"Eight Hundred Northern Army ???" The Son of Heaven was surprised, are you going to the south to build an official school or to go to the south to wash blood? He asked with some confusion: "If there is a wealthy family to block it, it is enough to order the local county government, why do you need the northern army?" ”

"Your Majesty, there are many connections between this official and the family, not to mention, we went to the south, just for the sake of official learning, there is no name to mobilize the local army, if there are 800 soldiers of the Northern Army to help, I am afraid that no one will dare to stop it..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!" Liu Bei bowed to the Son of Heaven.

Walked out of the palace, he did not go to the Northern Army, but went to find Man Favor, took Man Pet to the Northern Army, saw Huang Zhong, the Son of Heaven had already ordered, Huang Zhong even the eight hundred people were ready, and Guan Yu, who accompanied him, was also already waiting, Liu Bei couldn't help but bow and said: "There is General Lao Huang and Captain Guan, and I hope to forgive my sins!" Huang Zhong shook his head and said, "It's okay, the soldiers are ready, when will you leave?" ”

"I'm going to go today."

"That gentleman has to wait a few hours, this accompanying baggage is not yet complete..."

After more than an hour, Liu Bei, Man Pet, Guan Yu, with more than 800 people, walked out of the school field of the Northern Army, walking on the road, Liu Bei was still talking to Guan Yu cordially, although Guan Yu had a cold face, but did not ignore the Sino Nong, Liu Bei occasionally asked him about the war, and occasionally talked about going south, the two talked about it, Man Pet stood not far away, and did not participate in their words.

It wasn't until Guan Yu went to inspect the army that Man Chongfang came up, stood beside Liu Bei, and said: "Duke Liu, as an important minister of the country, it is not right to make friends with generals in private..."

Liu Bei smiled helplessly and said, "Thank you Manjun for reminding me." ”

Man Chong nodded, no words, the rest of the officials in the East Palace had already left two days ago, and they left separately, only he and Liu Bei did not leave, everything in the south depends on the two of them, Man Chong was thinking about it, Liu Bei suddenly said: "Man Jun, the Son of Heaven gave me an order..."

"Huh?"

"This trip to the south... The most important thing is to find out the treacherous people in the south... Rectify the rule of officials... Manjun, do you understand? ”

Man Pet frowned and nodded.
