Qin Li is quite good at governance, and in just a few days, Xia Pi can clearly feel some changes, such as the government began to organize the people to clean up the streets, before there were only scattered people who would help the soldiers defending the city to deliver food, but now, Qin Li began to vigorously publicize what Cao Jun did in the city, and at the same time began to focus on erecting a positive image for Lu Bu.

Of course, Lu Bu's victory in these battles is the key, Qin Li is just doing some things that push the boat along the river, but if there is no way for him to push the boat along the river, these things will have to be brewed, at least after Cao Jun retreats, it will take another month or two.

Qin Li doesn't want to be a person who is new to officialdom, if he only deals with some government affairs, learning can indeed play a role, but what Qin Li has been doing in the past few days is impossible to do without rich experience in governance and control of people's hearts.

Of course, these were not seen by Lu Bu, but said by Chen Gong, and he suspected that Qin Li's identity was not just a disciple of Zheng Xuan.

After all, Zheng Xuan has a lot of disciples, as long as he has the heart to learn and has no bad conduct, Zheng Xuan can accept it, but the level of the disciples is not good, and unlike Cai Yong, although there are not many disciples, they are all outstanding, so Chen Gong suspects that Qin Li has something to hide.

"Who doesn't have a secret?" Lu Bu didn't take Chen Gong's suspicions to heart, and felt that Chen Gong was making a fuss, after all, in this world, who doesn't have a few secrets in his heart that he doesn't want others to know?

In Lu Bu's opinion, as long as you can do things for yourself with your heart and have the ability to do things, you can ignore the rest, Chen Gong is innocent, but so what? Is there less to do behind the scenes?

"Wen Hou doesn't care about his character like this, he doesn't care about his background and employment, he will suffer from it one day!" Chen Gong gritted his teeth and said.

"Hehe~" When Lu Bu heard this, he put down the bamboo note and said: "I listened to your words before and reused those famous people, but what was the result?" ”

Chen Gong couldn't help but stop talking when he heard this.

Lu Bu ignored Chen Gong's ugly face, and said indifferently: "When we were in Yanzhou, those families who defected to us finally cut off our back road, the battle of Xuzhou, the Chen family's father and son aside, Qin Yilu went to Yuan Shu, never returned, became Yuan Shu's doorman, county orders and guards in various places, how many people are there now?" ”

Chen Gong was silent.

Lu Bu knelt down in the hall, put down a piece of bamboo paper, looked at Chen Gong with a look of uncertainty on his face, and said: "Now that Cao Jun has not retreated, even if he retreats, there are not many people available around me, since the public platform also recognizes Mr. Qin Li's talent, why bother with his background?" In today's Xuzhou, there is not much room for me to choose! ”

How difficult is it for people from the family to be invited? Not to mention the children of Chen Deng, it is those concubines and side children who love to ignore Lu Bu, Lu Bu used to govern Xuzhou, but he really said good things, but what was the result? When Cao Cao came, these people didn't say a word, and turned against Cao Cao.

Lu Bu can also see that the talent who gives up his face to ask for will never cherish your attention, let alone be grateful, and when he betrays, he will not even hesitate at all.

In this case, why should I give up my face to ask for people, it is better to recruit some people who are capable but have no reputation, or who have a loss of virtue, first, it is easy to use, and secondly, there is no stinky problem like those celebrities who are above the top.

"My lord, Qin County asks to see you." The guards came in and bowed to Lu Bu.

"Invite him in." Lu Bu glanced at Chen Gong and nodded and motioned for the guards to bring people in.

"Huh~" The guards withdrew from the main hall, and Qin Li, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, got the permission of the guards and stepped in.

"Humble Qin Li, see the lord." Qin Li bowed to Lu Bu and said.

"No need to be polite." Lu Bu pointed to the seat of his hand and motioned for Qin Li to sit down, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that the public platform was still praising you before, and the government affairs of Pi County this time, if it weren't for Mr. Qin, would not be so smooth." ”

"The public station is falsely praised, and I dare not be ashamed." Qin Li smiled and bowed slightly to Chen Gong.

"I don't know what happened to Mr. Qin here?" Chen Gong looked at Qin Li and said indifferently.

Lu Bu frowned, he always felt that these words were a bit harsh, they were all civil officials under his hands, if you Chen Palace can come, people can't come?

"I do have something to report to my lord." Qin Li was not angry, but just bowed to Lu Bu and said.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Lu Bu nodded.

Qin Li pondered his words and said: "Although the people in Picheng are gradually attached, but the grain and grass in the city are no longer sustainable, before the lord in order to improve morale, a large reward for the generals in the army, the grain and herbs in the city were due to Cao Cao's flooding, most of them were soaked, and now the grain and grass in the treasury can not be helped, although the people in the city support the lord, but there is no food available, this is the time of spring ploughing, if there is no grain and grass, I am afraid ......"

Qin Li didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was already very obvious, if he didn't think of a way to solve the problem of grain and grass, the current scene would probably be just a rootless wanderer.

Lu Bu nodded silently, he was naturally clear about this problem, but for a while, he couldn't think of a solution, after hesitating for a moment, Lu Bu looked at Qin Li and said, "You say, how long can the grain and grass in the city last?" ”

"This ......" Qin Li smiled bitterly: "In three or five days at most, the grain and grass in the city will be exhausted." ”

"Why don't you borrow the food from the soldiers who have been rewarded, and then return it to them when they pass this pass?" Chen Gong pondered.

"The population of this city is not only tens of thousands, but those grains and grasses are not enough at all, but they will be tired of the lord's faith in the army." Qin Li shook his head and said.

"Then I will wait for another three or five days, if not, I will choose the horses from the war horses in the city to kill them to satisfy the hunger, and I will try to do it." Lu Bu pinched his eyebrows, Cao Cao's problem was solved, but this grain and grass problem was a big problem.

"What is the plan?" When Qin Li heard this, his eyes lit up.

"Wait, it's hard to say now." Lu Bu shook his head, he was fighting Cao Cao's idea of borrowing the batch of grain and grass from the Chen family, but Zhou Yuan and Song Xian did not come back for a long time, and Lu Bu did not know what the situation of that batch of grain and grass was, it was enough for Cao Cao's 50,000 troops to eat, in Lu Bu's opinion, it should be enough to temporarily borrow the urgent need of Pi.

But then, it will last until the autumn harvest, how to spend this time, Lu Bu can't think about it at the moment, so he can only take one step at a time, and get this batch of grain and grass first.

"I still have some things to do, wait and retreat, don't worry about food and grass." Lu Bu got up and said to the two.

"Yes, retire from your duties." Qin Li bowed and turned to leave.

Chen Gong frowned and glanced at Lu Bu, and also turned to leave.
