It is almost a universal truth that absolute power leads to absolute [***].

In government affairs, Lu Bu, as the lord of Qingzhou, has always been suspicious, and he is not suspicious, just like most of the former Beihai officials who are now distributed in six counties and three places as political officials, although Lu Bu has always understood that these people's loyalty to him is debatable, but he still gives enough trust, in the current state, as long as he can stabilize a place, it is to ask for money to give money and food to food, and he has always been very generous.

Maybe it was because of Lu Bu's prestige, or it was indeed because he wanted to benefit the party for the first term of office, these Beihai officials who were originally under Kong Rong. Under the supervision of Zang Hong, the de facto head of government affairs in Qingzhou, it can be regarded as conscientious, and with sufficient food support, the preliminary work of Qingzhou's disaster relief is also impressive. But who would have thought that it was already May, and the shallow wells of rivers in Qingzhou had begun to break off and dry up, but at this time when the people's hearts were the most unstable, the news broke that the grain and grass in Beihai and the plains were resold by the so-called grain officials.

In fact, it can't be that Lu Bu is not popular. Food officer? Grain officer! Putting all the blame on the two grain officials who have disappeared, is it true that Lu Bu is stupid and doesn't understand anything, right? Besides, there is a cavalry battalion led by Zhang Liao, a general who has always been valued by Lu Bu, to prevent Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan from coveting Qingzhou, and under the nose of 5,000 soldiers and horses under Zhang Liao's command, nearly 50,000 stone of grain can be transported away as a disaster reserve. But the plain has been governed by Liu Bei for many years, and the big-eared Liu is a master of making people's hearts, although he abandoned the plain and left, but compared to Lu Bu, at least in a short period of time, Liu Bei's reputation in the plain is still quite high, which makes Lu Bujun very passive in the actual control of the plain that returned to Qingzhou not long ago, and now there are such things, it is obvious that someone is secretly indulging, and the plan is not small, so he has to be cautious in dealing with it, lest he be compared with the people's private affairs, and one is not handled properly, It stirred up the hearts of the people, who were already terrified because of the approaching catastrophe.

But if it is said that the matter of the plains is before someone takes the opportunity to secretly make trouble, there is Zhang Liaoxiao's cavalry camp on the side, and it is still expected to use thunderous means to quickly cut through the chaos and kill a group of officials who have found out the evidence related to this matter, after all, no matter how drastic the changes in the official class, for the people of the plain, as long as they can save their lives through the famine, they will not do much to change the stubble, as long as they can ensure that the grain and grass arrive in time, it will be easy to solve, and Beihai, which also broke out the fraud case, is like a hot potato, if it is not handled properly, Qingzhou's roots are easily shaken.

Qingzhou is not short of food, lack of officials!

Because Lu Bujun moved away part of Dong Zhuo's military assets in Meiwu at the beginning, and robbed some military rations in Yecheng, after arriving in Linzi, because of Qin Xu's methods, he successively defrauded a lot, coupled with the continuous exchange of grain for the method of making sea salt at home, it can be said that among the princes of the late Han Dynasty, Lu Bu said that his own grain storage was the second, and no one dared to say the first. Therefore, no matter how many times he sent troops to pacify Qingzhou, deter his neighbors, support Xuzhou and other things, Lu Bu was able to fight with his troops in a worry-free situation, and he made several expeditions in exchange for the current situation in Qingzhou, even after learning that the symptoms of the great drought were frequent, he could sit firmly in Diaoyutai.

Qingzhou is a place where talents come out in large numbers. However, the scholars of Qingzhou were few willing to join Lu Bu because of his previous reputation, but now with the unremitting efforts of Qin Xu and others, they have improved, except for the surviving officials who were originally in great short supply because of the Yellow Turban disaster in the whole state, and a small number of small families who had to "commit" to take refuge because of Lu Bu's prestige, it was still difficult to cope with the huge vacancy of government officials, forcing Qin Xu to come up with the idea of reopening the Jixia School Palace. However, before the officials who were cultivated to be loyal to Lu Bu's forces were formed, they had to reluctantly pin all their hopes on these officials who were either accustomed to seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and it was not until Kong Rong distributed the redundant officials to various places after Kong Rong contributed to Beihai, which was alleviated. Figuratively speaking, although Qingzhou is dominated by Lu Bu now, the people who actually control the life and death of Qingzhou are actually the officials who were born in Beihai together. These people were originally subordinate officials of Beihai, and they were very "grouped" because of Lu Bu's "persecution" of Kong Rong to sacrifice the city, and after Kong Rong was integrated into Linzi, he was much more stable, but he faintly thought that the current Beihai Taishou Wang Xiu and other original Kong Rong henchmen were looking forward, if there was a slight mishandling in the investigation of Beihai affairs, and then being slightly induced, it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole territory of Qingzhou will be chaotic without a few days.

No wonder Zang Hong was embarrassed, he was sweating all over his body, and he had to ask Qin Xu, who had just come back, to help, the matter of the plains and Beihai seemed to be before it was investigated, but it was just a case of possible official corruption, but as long as someone who knew a little bit of the matter thought about it, he could see that it was clearly someone who was deliberately adding chaos to Qingzhou and blocking Lu Bu. It's like forcing Lu Bu to swallow this matter even if he is unhappy, he has to grit his teeth and swallow this matter, and let someone with a heart damage Qingzhou's profits but throw a mouse. But the question is, how can Lu Bu, who has always been arrogant, endure this kind of secret threat, as humiliating as a slap in the face? How else does Lu Bu choose? This is no longer a matter of whether food cannot be allocated. And it has evolved into the life and death of innocent people in the two places in the coming catastrophe, and compared with the face of the more innocent Wen Hou Lu Bu in front of the world, which is more important.

"Master Qin, do you really have a way to let the lord put the overall situation first, and allocate grain and grass first to calm the people's hearts?" Until Qin Xu came to Lu Bu's mansion with a heavy heart all the way, he was still thinking about Zang Hong and didn't know if he believed that Qin Xu had the ability to persuade Lu Bu, or was worried that Lu Bu would agree to this kind of thing that seemed quite embarrassing.

"Master Qin? Are you looking for your lord? "It is said that the person on duty today is Qin Xu's trap camp of "thinking about the night" on the issue of taking Shi A's origin at the beginning. Seeing this one of the "culprits" who led Qin to the end of the Han Dynasty, and accompanied Qin Xu to do those "big things", the dead cat Sima Mao who was laughingly called "dirty work professional" by Qin Xu. Qin Xu had some new views on the chaos in Qingzhou in front of him.

"Dead cat, you are a dignified trap in the camp, just leave this kind of guard matter to the people below, why do you still do it yourself? You see that Kong Er is stunned, and you are in the same official position, but when it is not a war, it is easy to be tight, I heard that you are going to get married recently, so you can't learn from others? For this dead cat who was the first to burn the cold stove of the treasury of the little Fenwu General's Mansion at that time, Qin Xu had never had a fight, and asked with a smile.

"Master Qin, don't laugh at us! Now that Qingzhou is calm and there has been no war for a long time, if it weren't for every training and the work of the guards, we would have almost forgotten how to hold a knife. When Qin Xu came, he saw Qin Xu from a distance and looked unfamiliar, and saw that Qin Xu was not unfamiliar because he hadn't seen him for a long time, Sima Mao licked his lips, made a flattering smile, and said: "Master Qin, we have also stolen the lord's wine together, and we have been born and died together many times, if you have a good job, please also ask Master Qin, you must remember our old brothers." ”

"You dead cat seems to be well-informed, don't you? Tell me, where did you get any news? Qin Xu was amused by Sima Mao's appearance, the difficult matter in Qingzhou could not be solved in a day or two, seeing that it was not yet a meal, he was not in a hurry to see Lu Bu, so he asked Sima Mao with a smile.

"Master Qin, don't want to blame me, since you went to Chenliu, the lord has lost his temper many times for some reason, originally we thought it was the eldest lady's business, but the eldest lady has returned, and the lord is still the same. I just saw Master Qin, you also look preoccupied, everyone knows that something is wrong! Sima Mao subconsciously looked at Qin Xu's expression, said with a little caution, and said as if explaining: "This is not for me to speculate on the thoughts of the lord and the lord of Qin, mainly if this is the ......."

"Alright, alright, I know!" Seeing that although Sima Mao's words were presumptuous, he was still in awe of Lu Bu, which may also be a phenomenon shared with Lu Bu's pro-army who had been born and died for many years like the trapping camp, Qin Xu smiled disapprovingly and interrupted Sima Mao's explanation, and whispered to Sima Mao, who was laughing at himself: "Itchy hands? Then scratch it! ”

"What?" Seeing that Sima Mao, who didn't understand what he was saying, couldn't figure it out, Qin Xu was finally in a better mood, and looked at the head of the day, and he didn't need to be reported, and strode towards the back hall.

"Zhong Ming is here? This has just come back from Chen Liu, why don't you rest much? Seeing that Qin Xu looked like something was wrong, Yan, as the master of the back hall, greeted Qin Xu with a doting smile and said, "Ling'er, why don't you go and add a pair of chopsticks to Zhong Ming!" This girl, like his father, has no vision at all! ”

"Uh-huh!" Obviously, Lu Bu, who was stimulated by Yan's mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, looked at her son-in-law more and more happily and her own baby girl's undisguised joy, couldn't help but let out a muffled snort, and didn't look at Qin Xu with her eyes, and said to herself: "Obviously, this kid must have planned to step on the meal, and he has only been moving out for a long time, and he has made it seem like he is reunited after a long absence, and you two spoil him like this!" ”

The lord laughed! Asahi is terrified! Qin Xu pretended to look embarrassed, but looked at Yan Shi who was full of smiles and said. To tell the truth, no matter what Lu Bu was rumored to be outside, but in his own family, he looked like a virtuous husband and a good father, even if he ate, it was different from the big family families with many rules in these years, and he had always eaten together as a family. This is also the reason why Qin Xu, who has the habits of his previous life, is bent on changing the fate of Lu Bujun.

"Zhong Ming don't pay attention to Feng Xian, this person is used to disturbing people's appetite, so sit next to me, next to Ling'er, and eat in the same case!" Diao Chan didn't know if it was because there was a Cao family in this dining room who was looking at Qin Xu with a curious look, knowing that Lu Bu was pretending to be dissatisfied, he also showed a smile that was pouring into the country, secretly glanced at Lu Bu, and exchanged a look with Yan, and greeted Qin Xu quite warmly.

"Thank you, two ladies! Uh, thank you, my lord! Qin Xu took the food plate handed over by Lu Lingqi, took the opportunity to scratch the girl's little hand, and glanced at Lu Bu, who was quite helpless, and thanked him.

"Hmph, with you kid here, this meal is not steady, let's say, what is it that makes you Qin Dazhu come to eat in a certain mansion in person?" Seeing Qin Xu next to his own precious daughter, the two of them looked at each other, where would their minds be on the case? Lu Bu only felt a burst of grievance for no reason, and he didn't look at the three ladies who were either smiling or surprised, and slapped the food on the table angrily, and snorted coldly.

"I really miss my wife's craft, since I moved out of the house, I feel tasteless and tight when I don't eat." Qin Xu took a moment to let go of Lu Lingqi's small hand that he was holding under the desk, picked up the wine in front of him that was intimately poured by Lu Lingqi, took a shallow sip, and said before Lu Bu's face turned dark.

"Zhong Ming loves to eat! Although you have moved out, can you become an outsider? If you want to eat, you can come directly to the house, and besides, Ling'er is also learning with me! "In the back kitchen of the mansion, in addition to the appearance of the food of the subordinates who are in charge of the family, the meals of the Lu Bu family have always been made by the Yan family himself, hearing Qin Xu say this, the Yan family didn't care that Lu Bu saw Qin Xu Gu left and right that he didn't say anything serious, and he wanted to kill people, and said again and again with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Madame, for your kindness!" Qin Xu got up and bowed to the old mother-in-law, and said: "Xu Ben cloth, there is nothing to do with it, Mrs. Meng and the lord have been raised in the mansion, and they have a heart of retribution for a long time, and now they happen to have some windfall in hand, and they want to take it and send it to the two ladies to buy some ingredients and rice, and ask the two ladies to laugh."
