Gongsun Zhan led his troops to withdraw from Changshan, and for his son and general, he sent 300,000 loads of grain and grass to Li Hui. This time, Gongsun Zhan used troops in Changshan, but he gained nothing, and he also took 500 white horses and 300,000 loads of grain and grass.

On the way back, he ran into a messenger sent by Liu Yu to ask Gongsun Zhan to withdraw his troops. In one hand, he held Liu Yu's letter, and in the other hand, he held Liu Yu's warrant handed over to him by Li Hui. Gongsun Zhan gritted his teeth: "Okay, you Liu Yu, you really treat me as one of your dogs, if I hadn't guarded Youzhou for you, I would have been wiped out by the Wuhuan and Xianbei people a long time ago, and now I am doing this to me!" ”

The council recovered the three counties, plus the original Zhending and Shiyi, and completely controlled the entire territory of Changshan. Li Hui returned to Zhaojiazhuang and said to Zhao Yan: "Big brother, now that we have such a piece of land, I don't understand, do you still hope that my eldest brother will teach me?" ”

Zhao Yan nodded: "Brother Xian, don't be like this, governing the place is actually very simple, just set up officials, you don't need to do it yourself, now we don't have many officials, I have another method to temporarily solve the urgent need!" ”

"Big brother, say it quickly!" Li Hui couldn't wait.

Zhao Yan smiled: "Don't worry, brother Xian, according to the rule of the Han Dynasty, all officials are recommended by others, approved by the emperor, arrange official positions, govern the place, now the emperor exists in name only, and I am afraid that the brother does not want the emperor to intervene, so we can open up another way to choose officials, that is, to learn!" ”

Li Hui shook his head. Zhao Yan continued to explain: "Talent is the capital of being an official, military generals need martial arts, civil officials need to learn, only people who care about the people and have real talent and learning can govern a good place!" ”

"Oh!" Li Hui patted his head: "I understand, it's the exam, let anyone who wants to be an official come to the exam, whoever has a good learning appointment can be an official!" ”

Zhao Yan nodded: "The meaning is about the same, what does the virtuous brother think?" ”

"Good!" Li Hui stood up and said: "This suggestion of the eldest brother is very good, very good, this matter will be handed over to the eldest brother, and in the future, the eldest brother will have full authority to deal with these matters of appointing officials, I am just for it!" ”

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, and immediately knelt down for Li Hui. Li Hui was startled, and reached out to help. Zhao Yan said: "This school official is a local power, ordinary people will not easily release it, since the virtuous brother looks up to me Zhao Yan so much, I will not let down the virtuous brother, from today Zhao Yan will swear to follow the lord to the death, the lord is above, and Zhao Yan worships!" ”

Li Hui pulled Zhao Yan up and said with a smile: "I thought that the eldest brother was going to resign, you and I are brothers, if I can't trust you, who else can I trust!" ”

"There are so many brothers!" Jia Xu came in from the door with a smile: "By the way, the third general has been calling the lord the second brother, I don't know who the lord's eldest brother is?" But Mr. Zhao? ”

Zhao Yan smiled and shook his head. "Oh!" Jia Xu was puzzled: "Could it be that the lord has a big brother?" ”

Li Hui asked the two of them to sit down, and told him about the fact that he had met Xu Shu when Chen Liu was crusading against the Yellow Turban Army: "Hey! I made an appointment with my eldest brother for a five-year period, but now that seven years have passed, I haven't been able to go anywhere beforehand, and I don't know what my eldest brother is like now! ”

Jia Xu and Zhao Yan both followed Li Hui with melancholy. After a long time, Li Hui smiled: "Look at me, one person is sad, and even the two are uncomfortable, Mr. Jia has something?" ”

Jia Xu nodded: "Lord, I just went out for a turn, and found that although Zhaojiazhuang is good, it is only suitable for two people to live, and now there are dozens of villages around Zhaojiazhuang, large and small, so many people are all gathered here, and they are relatively scattered, this is not good, in case the enemy comes to attack, it is difficult to defend, and the second is easy to cause plague!" ”

Li Hui nodded: "Mr. is really meticulous, the first time I came to our Zhaojiazhuang, you can see so many problems, you are really a master, but don't worry, Sir, Brother Zhao and I have discussed and prepared to build a big city under Changshan, and all the people in Zhaojiazhuang will be moved there, as for the plague, there is no need to worry, we can have Zhang Zhongjing, the world's first divine doctor, to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Jia Xu smiled: "It seems that what I said is a bit redundant!" ”

"No, no, no!" Li Hui hurriedly said: "Mr. can see it when he just comes, it is much stronger than me, we can't find it here every day, it's really ashamed." ”

Zhao Yan said suddenly: "By the way, Mr. Cai Yong told me in the morning that he wanted to build a academy in the village, but I don't know what the lord thinks ......?" ”

Li Hui asked Zhao Yan rhetorically: "What do you think, eldest brother?" ”

Zhao Yan said with a smile: "Of course this is good, the lord thinks about it, we have to choose talented people to build a academy in the election of officials, and those students who have completed their studies are not said to be talented, and it should not be a problem to manage a small county of 100 miles!" ”

Li Hui and Jia Xu nodded at the same time. Li Hui said: "Okay! That's it! If there is no place, I am willing to vacate this owner's mansion, anyway, I am alone, I can find any place! Big deal to move to your house again! ”

"The lord probably thinks it's too lonely here! Hahaha," Jia Xu quipped.

Zhao Yan also smiled: "Yes! Yes! I see that the lord and the young lady of Cai Yong's family are in love, why don't you find an auspicious day, how about I wait for the lord to come to the door to ask for marriage? ”

"I think it's good, and I just happened to meet the strange woman who can make the lord's heart move! Hahaha......" Jia Xu echoed.

Li Hui waved his hand again and again: "No, no, this time is too busy, Zilong and a few people are still outside the plug, they won't come for a day, I can't let go of this heart for a day, it's better to think about this matter in the long run!" ”

Zhao Yan retracted his smile: "Zilong and General Huaxiong have been gone for so long and have not heard from each other, I hope everything goes well!" ”

Jia Xu said: "I don't know how much the lord knows about Saiwai? ”

"Nothing." Li Hui shook his head.

"I'm afraid it won't work!" Jia Xu said: "The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side will win all battles, now we are in a corner, we have no understanding of the world, which is very unfavorable to our future development, if we want to fight for hegemony in the future, I am afraid that it is extremely unfavorable to know nothing about others!" ”

Li Hui said: "What is the good way for that gentleman?" ”

Jia Xu said: "I think this Zhaojiazhuang Yanran has become the main road to the three states of You, And, and Hebei, and there are many business travelers, and we can just use these to establish our own detailed organizations, and the business travel Quartet travels, the news is the clearest, and it can be used by us." ”

"That's a good idea!" Li Hui nodded: "Since this is what Mr. came up with, then leave it to Mr. to do, ask for money and food to find Brother Zhao, and ask someone to go directly to Zhou Cang!" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The lord just handed over the election of officials, construction and other matters to Mr. Zhao, and now he has handed over this matter to me, dare to ask the lord, what are you doing?" ”

Li Hui hesitated for a long time, and suddenly remembered a sentence: "When Emperor Taizu divided the seal, Prime Minister Xiao He contributed the most, and some people asked why?" Emperor Taizu replied that the monarchs can walk with the ears of beasts, and the gongs are also dogs; As for Xiao He's traceability, the meritorious person, now I am the meritorious person, and you are the meritorious dog! ”
