In the third year of the first peace of the Han Dynasty, at the end of November. General Zuo of the Han Dynasty, Qingzhou Mu, and Wen Hou Lu Bu suddenly issued a series of decrees to benefit the people.

Under the supervision of Zang Hong, the Linzi City Government quickly posted a notice at the four gates, and organized and recruited young people to cut down trees in the mountains in the northern suburbs of the city, build houses and dwellings in large quantities, and feed each of them with two meals; The elderly, the weak, women and children can also be assigned some work within their means, such as cleaning the passage, sewing and repairing, etc., after the same registration is made, in exchange for a ration. If you can sign a "contract" with the Linzi government, you will also get land and grain planting, as well as tools rented by the government, and the harvest will be fifty-fifty cents; After five years of cultivation, the land will become its own, and it will be paid according to the 30 taxes of the Han Dynasty, but the government reserves the right of first refusal to buy at the market price.

As soon as the news came out, it was immediately spread by word of mouth among the displaced people who flocked to Linzi, from disbelief to ecstasy, and then to praise Lu Qingzhou as the parents of the people, after the first person to eat crabs finally had a full meal, the hungry homeless people poured into the temporary camp in the north of the city as if they were crazy, and the indifferent eyes that had been tortured by survival gradually had some brilliance. In the eyes of these displaced people, whether it is fifty-fifty or thirty taxes, as long as they have something to eat, it is better not to have to work hard for a year to pay a lot of debts to the master's family, at least there is hope for life.

In one day, more than 6,000 young and strong people, and more than 2,000 old and weak women and children have been recorded; According to the households, they were assigned to the temporary grass huts, and because there were too many displaced people pouring in, the Linzi City, which seemed to be a little dirty, was suddenly cleared. It has also restored a little bit of cleanliness as a Qingzhou administrative office.

What people didn't expect was that because of this measure, and the flying cavalry battalion that was loyal to Lu Bu was in charge of this matter, the people who basically dared to take the opportunity to make a move were immediately suppressed by force as soon as they found out and reported it, which made the public security in Linzi City a lot better, and the voices of people in the city praising Lu Bu could be seen almost everywhere.

This can make Lu Bu, who has been scolding after committing suicide Ding Yuan, really feel a little uncomfortable, and he can't help but smile on his face for a long time.

Others may not know that it is also Lu Qingzhou's benevolence that the homeless people cheer and praise! But the senior generals who have followed Lu Bu for a long time know that this must be the handiwork of Qin Xu, who has been promoted by Lu Bu to Qingzhou Mu Shaofu and the head of General Zuo's Mansion.

Since the end of the last Qin Xu overstepping his authority, the officials in Linzi who were fortunate enough to attend had seen the degree of Lu Bu's protection and had to make an accurate assessment of Qin Xu's energy; Coupled with Qin Xu's previous "evil deeds" of daring to go to the mansion of Cai Yong and Cai Zhonglang, the great Confucian in the sea, and Wu Chi's sad experience, these officials from the Qingzhou scholar clan have a respectful attitude towards Qin Xu, the doll master who is less than seventeen years old.

Can't we hide if we can't afford to provoke us? The people on the left and right are their own people from the Lu family of Qingzhou Mulao, and they generally do not interfere in local political affairs like Lu Bu, and they don't see the bigwigs in the army all have a resigned attitude. Let him be. Even with Qin Xu and Zang Hong's test of Linzi government affairs this time, it did not cause a backlash from these people. Anyway, there is food in his hand, and he is not panicked, anyway, these grains are all obtained by Qin Xu, so he can use them at will.

Of course, there are also some people who don't know how to think, saying that these things are nonsense, insinuating that Lu Bu does not understand government affairs, listens to the slander of a villain, and consumes military rations in vain, but they are soon drowned in the voices of the crowd praising Lu Bu.

When Qin Xu heard similar remarks, he just smiled indifferently. These people who value their families more than the country, as well as those who have been inserted by other forces, can imagine their loyalty to Qingzhou. After a thorough conversation with Lu Bu, Qin Xu had already begun to look for a powerful person who could help Zang Hong deal with Linzi's affairs.

In the Linzi military camp, in a secret room secretly guarded by the soldiers of the trap camp in turn, Qin Xu was smiling at the three middle-aged people who were neatly dressed and weak, but looked at him with cannibalistic eyes.

When he was in Jizhou, because he belonged to the top strategists under Yuan Shao, Xu You, Feng Ji, and the old brother who inevitably attacked each other finally saw the truth in adversity, and it was rare to spread anger on the same person with the same hatred.

"Master Qin! What a good means! After the silence of a stick of incense, Xu You sighed heavily, took the lead in speaking, and said faintly to the young man in front of him who had suffered several losses and vomited blood several times: "Since I saw Huaicheng, Xu made a big mistake, how did he provoke such a bad star as you, it is really bad luck!" ”

"Mr. Ziyuan, don't do this! Asahi still admires Mr. Qin Xu looked at the wise man in front of him who was the iron buddy of Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, but in the end he buried the entire Yuan clan and was killed by Cao Ying, and couldn't help but sigh a little about his experience, and said sincerely.

Yes, Qin Xu is the attention of digging the corner of Lao Yuan's wall! In Qin Xu's opinion, although Xu Youfeng and Ji judged that these three people had such and such shortcomings, whether they were greedy for money, jealous, or irritable, their talents could not be concealed. can become Yuan Shao's early confidants, these three people are also not to be underestimated in the history of the late Han Dynasty. Xu Yu is good at planning, good governance in discipline, good at trial, if it is used correctly, where will Lao Cao in the early stage be Yuan Shao's opponent?

As for the loyalty of these three people to Yuan Shao, Qin Xu firmly believes that as long as the hoe is good, there is no corner that cannot be dug down; Anyway, he didn't plan to let these three people enter the core layer of Lu Bujun, just to squeeze the abilities of the three of them. It's like Zang Hong said to Qin Xu before that among the officials in Linzi City, almost half of them have surrounding forces, but aren't they also running well now? There is absolute military strength isolated from the government affairs level, and I haven't seen Cao Ying, Yuan Shaogong, Sun Zan and others rely on those government officials to enter Qingzhou, not to mention that Qin Xu is still brewing an almost revolutionary move, and after Qingzhou is completely stabilized, a certain "invention" of Lao Cao will be put on the table a few years in advance, completely eliminating the possibility of leakage of government secrets.

"Today, when the master of Qin comes, isn't it time to only fight a certain person who has not fought enough, and then come to practice his hands?" Feng Ji is the worst of the three, inexplicably beaten and full of thanks, looking like a slut. It wasn't until he was "picked up" by Gao Shun and others that he accidentally discovered the swaggering appearance of the person who should have been dead and similar in appearance to himself, and when he was talking and smiling with the people who were taking care of him who had died in front of him, he realized how aggrieved he was when he came over.

"Mr. Feng seems to blame the wrong person, right?" Qin Xu touched his nose helplessly, his eyes looked straight at the black-faced matchmaker, shamelessly exerting his anger to transfer big. Law.

"Humph! If it weren't for your clever words and lying to the judge, how would I have fallen for your trick! "It seems that during the period of detention here, the trial has already talked to Feng Ji about the events of that day, and the two who currently have the same hatred and hatred naturally aim at Qin Xu, the initiator.

"Meta map! South! Don't say it, at that time, I was waiting for your masters, and the three of us were just short of wisdom, so I can't blame anyone! Let's ask Master Qin to tell me what he means! Aren't you going to send me on my way? Xu You smiled faintly, and there was a sense of freedom and ease, which made Qin Xu hard to believe for a while that Xu You, who had been judged by history to be greedy and arrogant, could still say this.

"Today, Qin Xu is here, not to take the surnames of the three gentlemen, but to ask for something!" Qin Xu froze and said. Looking at the attitudes of these three people, Qin Xu regretted that he had come early, and the anger in the hearts of the three of them had not subsided, and it was far from a good time to dig the foot of the wall. It's just that things are imminent, like an arrow on the bow, and it has to be sent.

"If you don't come to see me off on the road, could it be that Master Qin is here to persuade me to surrender?" Seeing that Qin Xu's expression had changed, the corners of Xu You's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked with a contemptuous smile: "It is only a matter of time before Duke Yuan learns that I am waiting here, and when I draw my hand, I don't know if General Lu can resist Duke Yuan's 100,000 army?" ”

"Mr. Ziyuan may not know something!" Qin Xu avoided Xu You's previous words, noticed that Xu You no longer called Yuan Shao's lord, and there was a hint of surprise in his heart, and he said steadily: "Mr. Zhengnan may have told you to wait, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan have started a war now, and the two of them are based on two states, and it is estimated that they will not be able to tell the winner in three or five years." Will he leave a strong enemy behind him because of the three of you? Besides, even if Yuan Shao wins, do you think Lu Qingzhou will be afraid of him? ”

"Humph!" When Xu Yu and the three of them heard Qin Xu's words, although they knew that what they said was the truth, they still made a disdainful look.

"I don't know what the three gentlemen think of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban?" Qin Xu knew that the words just now had been heard by the three of them, and at least they were eager for Yuan Shao to save them in a short time, seeing the solemn expressions of the three of them, Qin Xu suddenly asked with a smile.

"This ......" was obviously not expected by the three of them for Qin Xu's sudden change of topic, the three of them glanced at each other, and they couldn't quite understand the meaning of Qin Xu's words.

Xu You pondered for a while, and said: "The military strength of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou is no less than that of the Black Mountain Thieves in Hebei, with millions of people, and the density of mountains and forests, it is not easy to suppress them. These are known to the world, isn't it clear that the master book of Qin is not clear? It's better to go back and report to your father-in-law, and take precautions as soon as possible! ”

"Thank you Mr. Ziyuan for your suggestion!" Qin Xu smiled slightly, didn't care about the ridicule in Xu You's words, and said: "The Black Mountain Thief is equal to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, this Qin naturally knows." But just because the Black Mountain thieves can bother Yuan Shao, do you think that General Lu can't help the Qingzhou Yellow Turban? ”

"What a big breath for the yellow-mouthed ruin!" Before Xu You could speak, Feng Ji, who was beaten up by Qin Xu's people, said coldly: "Could it be that General Lu, who fled from Hebei after being chased by Yuan Gong, can still surpass Yuan Gongzhi?" ”

"It seems that it is necessary to teach Mr. Yuantu a lesson! My lord received the will of the Son of Heaven to shepherd Qingzhou, and left from Sili Hanoi County to here, how can he escape? Qin Xu said in a good time: "Besides, even if there is Yuan Shao's army in the future, it is only five miles away recently, and I haven't seen the soldiers of the Yuan army fighting with our army, so how can I chase after it?" Mr. Yuantu, don't change the concept! ”

"Hmph, two, don't listen to this son exaggerate in vain. There is less grain in Qingzhou, more and more displaced people, and the trend of the Yellow Turban should be combined with the outside, Lu Bu is afraid that he is now anxious about internal and external troubles, right? Qin Xu just said angrily when he heard the words in his ears, as if he was laughing at him for not daring to engage Lu Bujun when he was in Huaicheng.

"It seems that the three gentlemen all think that the attack of this million Qingzhou yellow turbans is the time when my lord is broken?" The corners of Qin Xu's mouth twitched slightly and asked.

"This ...... So what!? The three of them didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Qin Xu's gourd, but the three of them, who had been provoked by Qin Xu's series of praise and disparagements, asked one after another.

"The age of the three gentlemen can be Qin's elders, they always live here, they can't go up or down, don't talk about food, Qin is also difficult to cause harm, I don't know if I dare to make a bet with Qin?" Qin Xu's big bad wolf finally had the meaning of showing his fangs, looked at the three middle-aged little red riding bags with a smile, and said, "If Qin Xu is defeated, I will send the three gentlemen back to Yuan Shao!" How is it? ”

"Is that true?" Feng Ji's encounter was the most innocent of the three, and it was also the most aggrieved, and when he heard Qin Xu's words, he was the first to ask.

"Never break your word!" Qin Xu replied loudly.
