With the gradual lifting of the grain shortage in Luoyang and the beginning of large-scale land reclamation, the difficult situation was finally reversed, and Liu He's life became better.

From Liu He leading the army south in August last year until March this year, Liu He's painstaking management in the Sili area also began to show results, which was proved from the beginning when people took the initiative to come to serve him.

First of all, Zheng Tai, the great-grandson of the famous Confucian Zheng Zhong, returned to his hometown in Henan from Nanyang Yuan Shu after Dong Zhuo's death, and heard that Liu He, the son of Taifu, now controls Luoyang, and issued a "Notice of Recruiting Talents" to the states, so he came to Luoyang with his brother Zheng Hun to ask to see Liu He.

Zheng Tai, the word Gongye, lives in Kaifeng, Henan, and is an authentic person in the capital. During the period when he was the general He Jin's auxiliary government, he was appointed as a scholar and a servant of the imperial history. At that time, He Jin conspired to kill the eunuchs, and planned to recruit Dong Zhuo, the pastor of the state, to lead the army into Beijing to assist, Zheng Tai tried his best to dissuade He Jin, saying: "Dong Zhuo is violent and cruel, and has great ambitions, if you rely on him to solve the major affairs of the court, you will let his ferocity and ambition go unchecked, and it will definitely endanger the court." It's a pity that He Jin was stubborn and couldn't listen to Zheng Tai's words, so he still invited Dong Zhuo to Beijing, so Zheng Tai abandoned the official and returned to his hometown Kaifeng.

After Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he really made trouble with his power, played with the government and abolished the emperor with his soldiers and horses. At that time, Zheng Tai was recruited by Dong Zhuo, and asked him to go with Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, He Hao, the monk of Changshi, and Zhou Bi, the monk of the world, to select the world's famous scholars as officials. Zheng Tai, Wu Qiong, He Hao and others persuaded Dong Zhuo to let Yuan Shao serve as the Taishou of Bohai in order to entrap Yuan Shao, but in fact, Zheng Tai wanted to support Yuan Shao as the leader of the opposition to Dong Zhuo.

In the first month of the first year of the First Ping, Yuan Shao called himself the general of the Che Cavalry in Jizhou, acted as the leader of the Kwantung Coalition Army, and openly raised troops to crusade against Dong Zhuo. At that time, Dong Zhuo discussed with the ministers of the court and planned to personally lead the troops to deal with the Kwantung coalition army, but the ministers did not dare to speak out against it, but Zheng Tai was worried that Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses were strong and the Dong coalition army would not be able to win. So he spoke out against it, said the opposite, and fooled Dong Zhuo into handing over the military power to him. Dong Zhuo's advisers reminded Dong Zhuo that Zheng Taizhi was overlooked, but in fact, he had already secretly conspired with Yuan Shao and others, and if the soldiers and horses were handed over to Zheng Tai, it would be equivalent to letting him hand them over to Yuan Shao and these people, so Dong Zhuo quickly took back Zheng Tai's military power and worshiped Zheng Tai as the councilor.

Later, Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, and there was a famine in the Sili area. Many scholars and doctors in the capital could not live, and Zheng Tai's family had money at that time, so they held daily meetings and helped many people. Later, Zheng Tai conspired with Xun You, He Hao and others to assassinate Dong Zhuo, but the secret was leaked, and Zheng Tai fled from Wuguan to Chang'an and defected to the later general Yuan Shu.

When Zheng Tai was an official in Luoyang and Chang'an, Liu He was also there at that time. even went to Zheng Tai's mansion to eat because he was hungry, so Liu He and Zheng Tai are actually old acquaintances.

In Liu He's memory, Zheng Tai should have died at this time, and he died on the way to Yangzhou to serve as the assassin. I don't know how Lu Dao actually appeared in front of him alive, and he also took his younger brother Zheng Hun with him.

Although it is not clear why Zheng Tai should die, since he is here, Liu He, who is short of manpower, will certainly not avoid it. On the contrary, Liu He received this anti-Dong Mengman with the highest specifications, as well as his younger brother Zheng Hun.

As a matter of fact. If Zheng Tai succeeded in murdering Dong Zhuo with Xun You, He Hao and others, he would be the current Wang Yun, with great power and fame!

Liu He remembered that Zheng Tai's younger brother Zheng Hun was not simple, and was eventually requisitioned by Cao Cao after Zheng Tai's death, and served as a local official many times, stabilizing the chaotic situation in the place where he served and improving the lives of local people.

In other words, the Zheng brothers are both capable and loyal to the Han family, so they can be trusted and reused.

In view of Zheng Tai's reputation, Liu He submitted a petition to the Chang'an court and asked Zheng Tai, an anti-Dong Yishi, to be crowned as the middle of the imperial history, and to stay in Luoyang in the future to supervise the words and deeds of the hundred officials in Luoyang. At the same time, Zheng Hun was appointed as the commander of the Taifu Mansion and assisted him in handling government affairs in the future.

Soon after the arrival of the Zheng brothers, the Chang'an court appointed Sikong Zhao Wen to lead some officials to Luoyang.

A few years ago, in order to ease the relationship with Wang Yun, Liu He once went to the Chang'an court and asked the court to appoint officials of sufficient weight to come to Luoyang to preside over the repair of the palace and other matters, but Wang Yun actually drove Zhao Wen, who looked a little obstructive and was the third duke with him, to Luoyang.

After Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu ascended the throne, he set up the official position of Dasikong, mainly responsible for water conservancy projects, city defense buildings, palace construction and other affairs. Sikong Lingzongzheng, Shaofu, and Sinong Sanqing, there is one Changshi in the mansion, 29 Peng's subordinates, and 42 people in Lingshi and deployment.

Zhao Wen, whose name is soft, is 57 years old this year, the same age as Wang Yun, Ma Riyan, Yang Biao and other ministers, and his hometown is in Chengdu, Shu County. At the beginning, the imperial court appointed him as the Jingzhao County Cheng, but Zhao Wen was a small official, so he sighed and said: "The big husband should be a male flyer, and An can be a female!" So he abandoned the official and returned to his hometown Shuzhong. At that time, when he encountered a famine in his hometown, Zhao Wen generously donated the food stored at home to help the hungry, and later was awarded the title of Jiangnan Pavilion Marquis, and successively served as a waiter and a secretary.

Zhao Wen has a relatively straightforward temperament, has to say anything, and doesn't save much face, so he is not liked by Wang Yun, who controls the government. When Liu He's recital arrived in Chang'an, Wang Yun was thinking about how to get rid of Zhao Wen, who was in the way, and just took this opportunity to drive him to Luoyang, so as to contain and deal with Liu He, who had a strong momentum.

Liu He was a little surprised by Zhao Wen's arrival, but he was not very resistant. Although Zhao Wen is in a high position, no matter how high he is, he can't be higher than his father Liu Yu, Liu He is now sitting in Luoyang on behalf of his father, and he actually exercises the power of Taifu, plus he controls tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so Zhao Wen can't shake Liu He's status and power at all.

The large and small official residences in Luoyang City have been renovated last spring and many of them are already habitable, including the original Sikong Mansion. Liu He politely sent Zhao Wen into Sikong Mansion, and then pretended to be casual, and asked Zhao Wen by name for a few small officials to help him handle official business.

Zhao Wen felt Liu He's sensibility and respect, and very generously let Liu He choose from the team of officials he brought to Luoyang from Chang'an.

Among the people selected by Liu He, there is one named Du Ji, who is a native of Jingzhao Duling; Another named Xu Yue is a native of Donglai, Qingzhou; There is also a person named Jia Kui, who is a native of Xiangling, Hedong.

These three people were not well-known at this time, and they were not very popular officials in Chang'an City, so they were brought to Luoyang by Zhao Wen as low-level staff. However, Liu He, who came with a golden finger, knew the ability and ability of these three people, and he had already sent people to keep an eye on these guys for several months, waiting for Zhao Wen to bring them to Luoyang!

According to historical records, Du Yi was not only a good official who loved the people like a son and was a good official in politics, but also was not afraid of the powerful and had noble morals. He served as the governor of Hedong County for 16 years, and his political achievements were evaluated by historical books as "often the best in the world". After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi appointed Du Qi to supervise the construction of the imperial building ship, and after the building ship was built, Du Qi personally went to the Tao River for sea trials, unfortunately encountered a storm, drowned, and died at the age of sixty-two.

There is one thing that can prove Du Ji's character: Du Ji's mother died very early, and his father remarried a fierce stepmother, and what is even more tragic is that Du Ji's stepmother came to Du's house not long after, Du Ji's father also died, and the young Du Ji was taken care of by the fierce stepmother alone, and his life was very hard and miserable.

However, even if his stepmother was not good to Du Ji, Du Ji had a reputation as a filial son when he grew up, and when Chang'an was in turmoil, he fled to Jingzhou with his stepmother to avoid trouble. After Chang'an stabilized, Du Ji also personally helped his stepmother's coffin to return to his hometown, and did not abandon his stepmother's body in other places.

Du Ji was able to be favored by Liu He, in addition to his character ability, but also because Liu He valued Du Ji's ability to build a building ship for Cao Pi. Although Liu He has never set foot in the ocean now, as a descendant, he is very aware of the profound significance of exploring the ocean to the Han people. Not to mention, if Liu He unifies the Central Plains region in the future, when he leads his army to cross the Yangtze River in the south, he will also need a strong naval army.

Xu Yue, the second talent in Liu Hexiang, can't be seen in the romance of a certain Luo at all, but he is a famous mathematician and astronomer.

In the era of Emperor Ling, the famous astronomer Liu Hong compiled the first calendar in ancient China to observe the uneven movement of the moon, the "Dry Elephant Calendar", and taught the essence of the Dry Elephant Calendar to his disciple Xu Yue. Xu Yue devoted himself to the study of the movement of the moon, further perfected the Qianxiang calendar, collected a large number of mathematical materials left by his predecessors, and wrote mathematical works of historical significance such as "Records of Mathematics" and "The Need for Arithmetic".

Xu Yue's greatest contribution and invention in his life was to create the earliest abacus in the world, that is, the kind of abacus seen in later generations.

Others may not care about the mathematician and astronomer Xu Yue, but Liu He regards him as the biggest "treasure" given to him by God. In a sense, Xu Yue's value is only higher than Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, and Liu and all his subordinates.

Jia Kui, the last talent selected by Liu He, is also an amazing talent, throughout Jia Kui's life, it can be described as both civil and military, and outstanding achievements.

Jia Kui was born in a famous family, but because his family was in the middle of the road, he became an orphan when he was a teenager, and his family was very poor, and he didn't even have to wear cotton pants in winter. Once, he stayed at his brother-in-law's house Liufu's house, and after dawn it was too cold outside, he could only leave in Liufu's pants. is such a young and poor man, but after he became an adult, he repeatedly did great things that surprised the world.

Jia Kuiwen can govern the prefecture and county, and Wu Neng can lead an army of 100,000 to defend one side, he is a rare all-round talent, although he is only twenty years old now, even one year younger than Liu He, but he has been designated by Liu He as the target of key training.

Liu He used Ma Riyan's secret help this time to ask Zhao Wen to help bring these talents to Luoyang, just because he didn't want these people to find out that they paid special attention to them, so as not to give birth to arrogant and complacent thoughts, and as a result, they grew to the most deteriorating and deteriorated, and the golden ou became a clay pot, isn't it a pity?

Soon after Zhao Wen arrived in Luoyang, Liu He's quasi-father-in-law, Cai Yong, also returned from a lecture in Yingchuan, the "talent base", and then also brought him an unexpected surprise. (To be continued......)
