In August and September of 189 AD, news kept coming from Luoyang that Luoyang had become a mess.

After the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, He Jin supported his nephew, the crown prince Liu Bian, as the emperor and took charge of the government. Because the eunuch Jian Shuo wanted to kill the general He Jin, he was discovered by He Jin and killed Jian Shuo. He Jin then killed the Empress Dowager Dong, who opposed Liu Wei and supported Liu Xie. He Jin was hesitant about whether to kill the eunuchs in power.

Later, at the suggestion of Yuan Shao and others, it was decided to get rid of the ten permanent attendants, but he did not listen to the advice of the people and summoned Dong Zhuo to lead troops into Beijing. The Ten Standing Servants knew that the foreign soldiers entered Beijing to get rid of themselves, and Zhang Rang, the head of the Ten Standing Attendants, designed to let He Jin's sister Empress Dowager He summon He Jin into the palace and kill He Jin. When Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others heard that He Jin had been killed, they led troops into the palace and killed all the eunuchs. Dong Zhuo led his troops into Beijing and mastered the government.

Liu Kuan briefed you on the situation in Luoyang and talked about his views on army building and the development of the current situation. Liu Kuan did not dare to directly predict the future trend, but he still showed everyone the inference that the political situation was rotten out of control and that the local division was chaotic.

After hearing this, Kebineng, Budugen, Qiu Liju and others strengthened their determination to follow Liu Kuan's father and son, Liu Kuan's father and son were born in the royal family and had a grand pattern.

If you don't follow Liu Kuan's father and son, all ethnic groups and tribes will fight endlessly, and life and death will be unpredictable, and once you encounter a strong Han Dynasty general like Gongsun Zhan, you will be in danger of extinction. Now that the ethnic policy of Youzhou has been determined, after listening to Liu Kuan's words, everyone has ignited their ambitions.

On the second day, Liu Yu appointed Qiu Liju as the Taishou of Changchun County according to Liu Kuan's suggestion, and sent Han Dang, Jian Ju, and Zhang Fei to lead an army of 10,000 troops into Jilin Province in later generations, expand the city in Xidu, and change its name to Changchun, leading the people to cut down and reclaim the wasteland, resettle the displaced people, educate the natives, teach farming techniques, and promote potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other crops.

On this day, Liu Kuan, with Niang, Jinxiu and others took a walk in the garden, Liu Tong took Lou Ban, Liu Shen and others back from school, Liu Tong called Lou Ban and others to play elsewhere, and pulled Liu Kuan to the side after saluting with Niang and Jinxiu, "Dad, I saw that Mr. was a little boring in teaching a few days ago, so I wrote the "Disciple Rules" silently and handed it to Mr. When the time comes, the gentleman will ask you, don't you want to goof? ”

"Stinky boy, I can't memorize the "Disciple Rules" myself, how can I say that I wrote it?" Liu Kuan said helplessly.

"You can't say it's written by me, a child, right? I would also memorize the "Three Character Classic", writing and writing, and found that many of the historical events and characters in it were from later generations, and it was not good to be round, so I gave up. ”

Liu Kuan grabbed Liu Tong's shoulders with both hands, looked at Liu Tong and said seriously: "Tong'er, don't plagiarize other people's works at will in the future, one is sorry for other people's creations, and the other is that you will develop the bad habit of selling fame and reputation and slacking off your learning and thinking. Liu Tong nodded reluctantly.

"By the way, Dad, I heard that you and Grandpa have been befriending nomads lately? Haven't they been invading the Central Plains and harming the Central Plains? Why not exterminate them? ”

Liu Kuan said very seriously: "Tong'er is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, what is the relationship between Kebineng, Budugen, Qiu Liju and others and the Central Plains in history?" ”

Liu Tong thought about it and said: "It seems that they all surrendered to Cao Cao, and some of them were even crowned kings by Cao Cao." Why did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fight to the death with the Xiongnu, and the Sui and Tang dynasties also fought with Goguryeo for hundreds of years? ”

Liu Kuan patted Liu Tong's head, "Tong'er think about it, why?" As he spoke, he pulled Liu to his study.

After arriving at the study, Liu Kuan sat down, and Liu Tong lay on the bookcase, "Dad, I don't know the reason, you can talk about it." ”

"The Xiongnu are the descendants of the Xia Hou clan, and were expelled from the Hetao and the Hexi Corridor area by General Meng Tian during the Qin Dynasty. Later, the Xiongnu became strong in the early Western Han Dynasty, posed a strong threat to the Han regime, and controlled the Western Regions, and was later defeated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, retreated to Mobei and split into five parts. After nearly 400 years of rebellion, he was driven out of the grassland by the Han Dynasty and the Xianbei tribe not long ago. The Xiongnu were harmed because they were a unified regime. It was inevitable to fight with the Han people.

Later generations of Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms were because of the long-term conquest of the Three Kingdoms, after the destruction of the Western Jin Dynasty, the northern region was full of wars, plundering and massacres continued, and the economy was seriously destroyed, which affected the social, economic, ethnic, cultural, political, and military development trend of the Central Plains.

If it weren't for the civil strife in the Central Plains, these ethnic minorities would not have been able to develop. In Chinese history, the Han regime was often invaded or even eliminated by ethnic minorities.

But it was during the Three Kingdoms period, when civil wars continued, local forces, whether it was Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, or later Cao Wei, all fought so that the ethnic minorities had no power to fight back, and even surrendered one after another. At the end of the day, it's this time that they're weak. Liu Kuan said this, looking at Liu Tong without saying a word.

Liu Tong's eyes flashed, and he seemed to understand, "Are Xianbei, Wuhuan, Buyeo, and Goguryeo very weak now, and have not formed a unified regime?" Dad wants to nip them in the bud and avoid chaos in a hundred years? ”

Liu Kuan nodded appreciatively after hearing this. "Yes, they are still very weak now, and they are also worried that we advocate the elimination of them like Gongsun Zhan, as long as we treat them as equals and engage in great national unity and integration like ***, ethnic minorities will not only not become a scourge, but will become our good helpers, and the grassland will provide us with a lot of meat, war horses, and cavalry. The three northeastern provinces will also become the territory and granary of the Han Dynasty. In the future, Youzhou will become the strongest state in the world! This is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in Chinese history to integrate ethnic minorities and prevent problems before they occur. ”

Liu Tong was very excited, "I used to think that my grandfather was not good as a pastor in Youzhou, the land in Youzhou is barren, the population is small, and it is not as good as Jizhou and Yuzhou, but now it seems that my father is very clever, if I get these places in the Northeast, and then promote potatoes and other crops suitable for Youzhou planting, and then continue to recruit displaced people to open up wasteland like in the past two years, within ten years, my Youzhou will be the largest state in the world."

I think the immigration policies of the fourth grandfather (Zhang Li) and Uncle Xian Yuyin are very good and attractive. As long as the displaced people come to Youzhou, they can participate in the tuntian after registering, and after one year of voluntary labor, they can receive free grain, farm tools, seeds, and rent land. Those who go to the northeast to open up wasteland can also work more appropriately and get more land. ”

Liu Kuan sighed, "Yes, everything is going well, that is, people are employed everywhere, and the shortage of people is very serious." The Han Dynasty is full of talents, but there is no one available in my Youzhou! By the way, Tong'er, as far as you know, are there any talents in Youzhou? ”

"How many talents are there in Youzhou, and this is not Yingchuan and Nanyang. However, Dad, we can issue a merit-seeking order, Grandpa's reputation is unparalleled in the world, and he should be like a cloud. Yes, yes, yes, we have to issue a talent seeking order first, so as not to be Cao Cao and them take the lead! Liu Tong seemed to be really anxious, and his little face was red.

"What kind of merit order? What's the matter with Cao Cao? Liu Kuan asked.

After Liu Tong heard this, he habitually raised his head and showed a proud expression, "In history, Cao Cao's ministers are like rain and fierce generals are like clouds, and he has a great, great, great relationship with his three orders to seek talents. ”

After Liu Kuan heard this, he grabbed Liu Tong's shoulders again and took him into his arms, "What are the three orders for seeking talent?" ”

Liu Tong replied: "Cao Cao issued three orders to seek talents, but I only remember the first one. ”

"Write quickly", Liu Kuan hurriedly took a pen and paper for Liu Tong.

I saw Liu Tong write: Since ancient times, the king of Zhongxing has been ordained, and he can't taste the wise man and gentleman who rules the world with him! And he is virtuous, he has never been out of Lu Lane, how can he be lucky to meet? The ears of those who go above do not ask for it. Today's decision has not yet been made, and this special talent is also urgent. "Meng Gong is Zhao and Wei Lao is excellent, not Teng and Xue Dafu." If it is available later, then how can Qi Huan dominate the world! Is there anyone who is fishing in Weibin by brown jade today? And you have to have no thief sister-in-law to receive money and have not met the ignorant? The second and third sons are bright and ugly, and I am the only one who moves, and I have to use it.

Liu Kuan was overjoyed after reading it, and it was really good:

Since ancient times, how can there be a monarch who has not been able to govern the country with talented people? When they get talent, they often don't go out of the alley, is this an occasional fluke? No! It's just that the people in power are going to ask for it! Now that the situation is still unsettled, this is the most urgent moment to seek talent. "Meng Gongyu is more than capable as a retainer of the Zhao and Wei families, but he is not qualified to be a doctor in a small country like Teng and Xue." If it must be used by the so-called incorruptible people, then how can Qi Huan Gong dominate the world! Now in the world, isn't there a person in the world who wears coarse clothes and harbors true talent like Jiang Ziya who is fishing by the Weishui? Isn't there a person like Chen Ping who has been stigmatized as "stealing his sister-in-law and receiving money" and has not yet met Wei Wuzhi? You have to help me find those who are buried in a low position, and recommend them as long as they are talented, so that we can appoint them.
