Since Liu Yi returned to Zhuo County, he first abolished the county orders of the counties under Zhuo County, and then implemented the soil reform system, streamlined the army, and set up a school palace.

With the passage of time, the development of Zhuojun as a whole has flourished.

In the summer of 184 AD, Liu Yi and Cheng Yu sat under a big tree in the courtyard and played chess while enjoying the shade.

Chess has been around since the Warring States Period, but it is slightly different from later generations in terms of gameplay, Liu Yi has liked chess since he was a child, so he passed on the chess gameplay of later generations to everyone in his spare time, and everyone played chess and chatted for fun when they were fine.

"General!"

Looking at the chess game that had been killed by Cheng Yu, Liu Yi threw the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, and then stood up.

"It's so hot that I don't have the heart to play chess! Don't play, don't play! ”

Seeing that Liu Yi made an excuse to escape as soon as he lost as usual, Cheng Yu smiled and didn't point it out.

At this time, it was dog days, the hot sun was exuding scorching fire, and the Zhizhi on the tree was lazily lying on the tree "squeak~squeak~" and screamed non-stop.

was a little upset by the shrill voice, and Liu Yi began to complain, "Why is it so hot this year!" Hot people don't want to do anything! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Simeng on the side walked over with a few maids carrying a few cups of herbal tea.

"Did you lose to Mr. Cheng again?"

Seeing the chess game in front of the two, Wei Simeng said to Liu Yi with a smile.

"Just kidding! My husband and I didn't play because it was too hot! Saying that, Liu Yi didn't forget to disrupt the chess game, so that others couldn't see who lost and who won.

Wei Si dreamed that Liu Yi had a hard mouth, and he smiled and didn't make fun of him.

After a few sips of herbal tea, Liu Yi suddenly felt that the heat just now was suppressed a little.

After a few words with Wei Simeng, Liu Yi pointed to Wang San's courtyard and said, "It's okay, go to your brother and sister to have a look, it's so hot this day, don't let your brother and sister have any more tires." ”

Seeing that Liu Yi cared so much about Wang San's wife, Wei Simeng looked at Liu Yi with disgust.

"Got it, I still need to say it!" Then he took the maid to Wang San's courtyard.

After Liu Yi's mansion was expanded, in order to protect everyone's individuals, Liu Yi specially ordered the craftsmen to divide the mansion into several small courtyards for public living.

After sending Wei Simeng away, Liu Yi and Cheng Yu sat under the tree and began to chat.

"I don't know how Zhicai and Blacksmith Li are studying?" Liu Yi said to himself while drinking tea.

Hearing this, Cheng Yu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and replied, "Don't worry, my lord, with the help of my brother, Master Li, they will definitely study what the lord wants!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi nodded.

was chatting, when I saw a person walk in outside the house.

This person is holding a round fan in his hand, and he is fanning vigorously at this time, wearing a light silk robe, and his bloated figure is exposed.

Seeing this person enter the mansion, Liu Yi hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

"Uncle Lu, why are you here?"

This person is Cui Si's father-in-law, Lu Duyou.

It is said that because of the relationship between Lu Duyou and Cui Si and his previous great kindness to Liu Yi, he is usually very casual when he is with Liu Yi, but seeing that Cheng Yu is also there at this time, Lu Duyou sensibly made a salute to Liu Yi and the others.

"I've seen the lord and Mr. Cheng!"

"Uncle, excuse me! Come and cool off under the tree! ”

Liu Yi was very happy to see Lu Duyou, don't look at this old boy who is usually the same as Cui Si

It's not in tune, but as long as he is there, the atmosphere must be very lively, and Liu Yi is willing to chat with this "old rascal" when he is unhappy.

The three of them sat down under the tree, and Lu Duyou grinned and wiped a handful of fat oil from the back of his neck.

Liu Yi saw Lu Duyou's disgusting appearance and smiled, "Uncle Lu, you have to lose weight, you have only been here for a few months, and this change is too great!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Duyou shook the fat on his body, and said with a decadent expression: "There is no way! In the past, when Liu was the county guard, I still needed to rack my brains to find a way to cater to him, and the amount of exercise every day was quite large. Okay now, you're a county guard, and I don't have to run around anymore. This man wants to eat when he is idle, you see! Isn't this what you eat alive? ”

Hearing this, the two looked at Lu Duyou's stomach, which was already stacked at this time, and couldn't help laughing.

"Then you're coming out to me to walk and lose weight?" Liu Yi asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Lu Duyou smiled and said, "What's the meaning of your walk, I'm here today to discuss something with you!" ”

As soon as he heard that Lu Duyou said that he had something to discuss with Liu Yi, Liu Yi hurriedly sat up.

"What's the matter with my uncle? Tell me about it! ”

"It's been a few months since I took office as the governor of Zhuo County, and it's not a problem to stay like this! I want to go down to the counties! It's like losing weight! ”

After speaking, Lu Duyou looked at Liu Yi and said, "The lord won't not agree, right?" ”

Liu Yi suddenly cried and laughed when he heard this, thinking that you, an old boy, can still have a good heart, and Bacheng wants to go to various counties to eat and drink again.

However, Liu Yi knew that Lu Duyou was not a bad person, and knew that he would not do anything excessive, so he nodded and agreed.

"Uncle, then I'll send some people to protect you!"

Seeing that Liu Yi was going to send soldiers to protect him, Lu Duyou hurriedly interrupted, "The entire Zhuo County is yours now, I don't believe that anyone would dare to spread wild here, I don't need you to send troops, I just take a few servants in my mansion."

Things are indeed as Lu Duyou said, since Liu Yi took office, the bandits of all sizes in Zhuo County have been exterminated by Zhang Fei and others, and the public security of the entire Zhuo County is unprecedentedly good.

Seeing that Lu Duyou insisted, Liu Yi was not easy to refute, so he agreed.

Seeing that Liu Yi agreed, Lu Du said goodbye to the two happily, and when he returned home, he took a few servants to Liangxiang County, which is closest to the north of Zhuo County.

The flowers bloom in two, one on each branch.

It is said that Huangfu Song and others, because of the merit of the flat yellow scarf, everyone was knighted by Emperor Ling.

Among them, Huangfu Song commanded the three armies, and the greatest merit was made, and the imperial court appointed him as the general of the left chariot cavalry and led the Jizhou pastor; The rest of Zhu and others were also rewarded with different officials according to the size of their merits.

It is worth mentioning that Cao Cao, the former commander of the cavalry, was later appointed as the Jinan minister of Jinan (county) in Qingzhou.

It is said that Cao Cao is the Han Prime Minister Cao Shen, and his father Cao Song is the adopted son of the eunuch Cao Teng.

Under the influence of a good family environment, Cao Cao showed a hobby and talent for martial arts in his early years, and was well-read, especially fond of the art of war.

Cao Cao has had the ambition of being a capable minister since he was a child, and at the age of nineteen, he was recommended by Sima Fang, the father of Sima Yi, who served as the Luoyang Order, to be the northern lieutenant of Luoyang, which is equivalent to the current director of the public security bureau.

After Cao Cao served as the lieutenant of northern Luoyang, he affirmed the ban, strictly enforced the law and discipline, and made more than ten five-colored sticks

roots, hanging around the yamen, and posted a notice "Those who violate the prohibition will be killed."

One of the first to be killed by Cao Cao was the uncle of the eunuch Jian Shuo, who was favored by the emperor at that time, and was caught by Cao Cao for violating the prohibition of night walking. In the end, fortunately, his father Cao Song moved around a lot, which saved Cao Cao from the fate of being harmed by the powerful people of the dynasty.

It is said that Cao Cao has been in office in Jinan for a few months, and Liu Yi has done something similar, and as soon as he took office, he began to wantonly rectify the officialdom in Jinan.

There are more than 10 counties and towns under Jinan, and the county magistrates are mostly dependent on the local nobles, corrupt and bend the law, and have no scruples. Cao Cao's previous ministers ignored it. When Cao Cao arrived, he vigorously rectified and dismissed eight out of ten of the officials, Jinan was shaken, and corrupt officials fled one after another. All of a sudden, "politics and religion are great, and a county is peaceful"

Although Cao Cao was in the local area, he still cared about the imperial court.

When there is nothing to do on weekdays. Cao Cao wrote some of his statecraft and some suggestions on politics at that time into articles and handed them over to the imperial court, but these articles were indeed like mud cows in the sea and no one cared about them.

Although disappointed, Cao Cao did not give up on the Han court, and has always dutifully guarded the Jinan Kingdom for the Han Dynasty.

At this time, something happened within the Eastern Han court, which was extremely politically dark, that completely disappointed Cao Cao.

"Selling the Official's Mantle"

This kind of thing will happen in all dynasties, those powerful people in high positions, in order to collect money, will do some things to sell officials, but unlike other dynasties, the Han Dynasty at this time is not only those powerful people who sell officials, but also Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty!

When the lord of a country began to do this, it was not a shameful thing to sell officials, and it can be said that all official positions except the emperor could be purchased at a clear price.

At that time, under the hint of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, there were two kinds of selling officials, one was "full payment" and the other was half price.

The so-called full payment means that if you want to buy a higher position than your current official position, you need to pay all the money at once. And half price means that if you are promoted by the imperial court because of meritorious service, then you still need to pay half of the selling price of that official position.

At that time, after many local officials with political achievements were promoted by the imperial court, because they had no money to pay the "half price" and did not dare to disobey the holy order not to take office, they could only abandon their officials and run away, and even more were forced to commit suicide on the way to office.

When he heard about these things, Cao Cao completely lost his heart to the imperial court, lied that he was seriously ill, abandoned the official and returned to his hometown Peiguo County.

Just when the Eastern Han Dynasty was still indulging in the joy of quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion and continued to enjoy itself, the Qiang people in the west of Liangzhou, Beigong Boyu, openly rebelled, and coerced Bian Zhang and Han Sui to join the gang, and under the recommendation of everyone, Bian Zhang became the nominal "leader"

Because the power of the three of them is not very strong, they have not attracted the attention of the people of the world for the time being.

Except for the border between Liangzhou and the Qiang people, the people everywhere are still living as usual.

"This official is here to inspect on the order of the county guard, and you will quickly call your county order to answer!"

"Yes!"

After a few days of travel, Lu Duyou and his party finally came to Liangxiang County, as soon as they arrived at the city gate of Liangxiang County, Lu Duyou shouted to see the county order of Liangxiang County, it seems that the rush of these days is to make him tired enough, not to eat a good meal is difficult to solve the fatigue of the body.
