"Ouyang Xiu."

"Your Highness, I don't know who this Ouyang Xiu is?" Lu Zhi asked suspiciously.

Liu Wei was silent, smiled, and looked at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu suddenly understood, and said with a smile, "Let's talk about it, this Ouyang Xiu, the ability of the county commander of Qi County, the name of Uncle Yong, during his tenure as the county commander of Qi County, was honest and honest, and his ability was extraordinary, and he was praised by the people, His Royal Highness learned of this person, so he mentioned it to me when he went on the expedition, I thought I knew this Ouyang Xiu's ability, so I didn't pay much attention to it." His Royal Highness said that I had to mention him, who knew that I actually found out that Ouyang Xiu was a great talent, and then I let him serve as the position of Guangyang County Guard, but in a few months he gave me a big surprise, governing the place, and being able to deal with government affairs is several times better than me. After finishing speaking, Liu Yu sighed again.

Lu Zhi and Huang Wan next to him were all shocked, and even Cen Wenwen, who had been unfazed, changed his face.

Liu Wei looked calm and unsurprised.

Seeing Liu Wei like this, Liu Yu asked, "Has Your Highness seen this Ouyang Xiu a long time ago, and I was not surprised to hear it." ”

Liu Wei shook his head, "I haven't seen him before, but I have carefully studied his past, so although what Uncle Huang said is a little surprised, it will not be strange." "Although Liu Wei said this in his mouth, he actually did not think so." Ouyang Xiu was summoned by me, of course I know his ability! In fact, this is what Liu Wei really thinks.

Liu Yu was ashamed when he heard this, "Alas, if it weren't for His Royal Highness, I'm afraid that the old minister would have missed a pillar of talent." ”

"Uncle Huang, I can't blame you, you govern Youzhou alone, you are already worried, how can you have so much energy, and how can you be so idle to check a person's past and investigate among the people." Liu said persuadingly.

"Yes, yes, Your Highness is right, it's not your fault." Lu Zhi also said on the side.

After a while, Liu Yu eased up

"Your Highness, the old minister will send someone to call Uncle Yong." Liu Yu said.

About a stick of incense passed, the little official came with a person.

"Ouyang Xiu has met His Royal Highness, Lord Governor, Duke Lu, and Duke Huang." As soon as Ouyang Xiu entered the door, he saluted a few people.

"Lord Ouyang is exempt." Liu Wei said.

"Your Highness." After speaking, Ouyang Xiu stood aside.

Next to him happened to be Cen Wenwen, and the two greeted each other.

"Ouyang County Shou, I heard from the emperor's uncle that you have only served in Guangyang Taishou for a few months, but you have made outstanding political achievements and are loved by the people." Liu Wei said.

"The state shepherd will be well governed, and the lower officials are just picking up the cheap." Ouyang Xiu said modestly. "The lower officials also want to thank the state pastor for his kindness." Ouyang Xiu bowed to Liu Yu again.

"Uncle Yong, you are wrong, it is not me who mentioned you, but Your Highness, if it weren't for Your Highness, I wouldn't have found out that I still have a talent like you in Youzhou." Liu Yu replied.

Ouyang Xiu was stunned when he heard this, but he figured it all out in a moment, so he immediately knelt down to Liu Wei, "Your Highness Thank you for your kindness." ”

"Ding!" Congratulations to the host for obtaining Ouyang Xiu's pleasure, Ouyang Xiu, Force: 34, Commander: 52, Resourcefulness: 91, Politics: 98. Congratulations to the host for gaining 9 summon points, of course the host has 12 summon points.

"Uncle Yong, please get up, a talented person, if you don't dig out, isn't that lonely stupid. Uncle Yong doesn't need to thank Gu, it's Gu who should thank you. Liu Wei helped Ouyang Xiu up and said.

"Your Highness."

"Okay, it's important to get down to business, let's get down to business." Liu Wei said.

"Should Your Highness find Berwyn and Bo Yuan?" Lu Zhi said.

Liu Wei immediately patted his head and said embarrassedly, "It's a lonely fool, I actually forgot about the two military advisors, please ask the emperor to send someone to invite the two." ”

After about a stick of incense,

Liu Ji and Cui Hao are here.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Wei opened his mouth and said, "The first thing Gu wants to say is to recruit soldiers. ”

"Your Highness, no."

Liu Wei was interrupted by Liu Yu before he finished speaking.

"Alas, Uncle Huang listened to what Gu said." Liu Wei frowned.

"There are 30,000 people in Youzhou, and Hougu recruits 50,000 soldiers, but in the first battle against Dong, plus the battle with Xianbei, the casualties exceeded 10,000, and the establishment was chaotic, so Gu wanted to recruit 30,000 soldiers and make up an army of 100,000." Liu Wei said.

Hearing Liu Wei's words, everyone in the room frowned.

"Your Highness, you can't, Youzhou is already bitter cold, the population is sparse, if you recruit strong again, then there will be no one to grow food in Youzhou." Liu Yu said earnestly.

"Yes, yes." Huang Wan also nodded.

"Your Highness, don't rush for quick success." Lu Zhi said.

"Since you've all said that, let's talk about the second thing, and after that, you will definitely not object to recruiting new soldiers." Liu Wei said.

"Your Highness, please speak." Cui Hao said.

"Lonely implementation of the cantonment system, what is the cantonment system, the recruited soldiers go into battle to kill the enemy in wartime. In addition to training, the rest of the day is spent clearing wasteland, building roads, building bridges, building houses, digging ditches, mining veins, making armor, forging weapons, and building agricultural tools. Liu Wei said.

"Your Highness means to let those soldiers be self-sufficient in times of non-war." Liu Yu frowned.

Liu Wei shook his head, "No, Uncle Huang is wrong, these soldiers eat according to the military salary, and the lonely means to let these soldiers help the people reduce their burden." In fact, the food of the soldiers is provided by the people, if the soldiers are allowed to grow food, it will not change anything, so Gu feels that he can reduce the burden of the people in other aspects, build roads, reclaim, build bridges, build houses, manufacture farm tools, and open ditches, which are actually of great help to the people, and how much effect can 100,000 soldiers have, and there is no need to talk about it. ”

"Your Highness's intention is to let the soldiers repay the kindness of the people in other ways in other ways." Ouyang Xiu said at this time.

"Your Highness's plan is good, but what if those soldiers don't carry it out." Huang Wan frowned.

"How can they not carry it out, they joined the army to support themselves and their relatives, since they can still get military salaries and help their relatives, why don't they do it, after all, the soldiers under the lonely command are all Youzhou people, and they will certainly be willing to help the people in their hometown." Liu Wei said.

When they heard this, they fell silent and thought.

At this time, Cen Wenwen asked, "Your Highness, this road will always be completed, the mines will be mined, the ditches will be opened, the houses will be built, the wasteland will be reclaimed, and the farm tools will be enough, so what should happen then?" ”

"You're right, Lone also had a plan at that time, but Lone doesn't plan to say it now, let's deal with the matter in front of us. Lone can tell you that if you really have enough reclamation, enough construction, and enough manufacturing in the future, it will be easy to implement Lone's next plan. Liu Wei said with an oath.

After listening to Liu Wei's words, everyone did not object anymore.

"Now let's talk about the third thing, recruitment. Don't look at identity, don't look at status, meritocracy, recruit talented people. Liu Wei said.

"Your Highness, no, this poor disciple has limited knowledge, how can most of them be rough people in the mountains and wilderness compared to those knowledgeable children of the family." Cui Hao waited for Liu Wei to finish speaking, and immediately objected.

"The officials of this Han Dynasty for hundreds of years are controlled by the children of the family of the gate valve, and it is not that the children of the family are incompetent, but in the past few hundred years, although there have been many capable ministers and famous generals among the children of the family, but more of them are doing nothing. Not to mention anything else, but this virtue is much worse than those poor children. Liu Wei said without scruples.

Listening to Liu Wei's words, Cui Hao's face suddenly became gloomy. I wanted to say something, but I couldn't refute it. Because he understands what the children of the current family are like, he said that he is the Cui family, and there are few capable people except him.

"The princes and generals have a kind of Xiangning, almost all of those heroes in the early Han Dynasty are not children of the family, descendants of nobles, most of them are ordinary people in the countryside, Gaozu is just a small pavilion chief, but he defeated the unique Xiang Yu, who dares to say that Gaozu and Zhang Liang, Han Xinxiao, He He, Chen Pingying, Bu Pengyue, they are rough people in the mountains and fields." Liu Wei's last sentence was said by looking at Cui Hao.

"Ding!" Congratulations to the host for gaining Liu Ji's pleasure, Liu Ji, Force: 57, Commander: 72, Resourcefulness: 100, Politics: 92, Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 summon points, and the current host has 22 summon points.

"Ding!" Congratulations to the host for gaining Cen Text Pleasure, Cen Text, Brawn: 48, Commander: 65, Gambit: 89, Politics: 97, Congratulations to the host for obtaining 9 summon points, and the current host has 31 summon points.

"Okay, this matter is decided, and Liu Ji, the right army division, is in charge." Liu Wei said despite Cui Hao's face.

"No!"
