Time flickered, and it was the last few days of the second year of Zhongping.

On the next Japanese day, there is a three-day holiday, which is convenient for visiting relatives and friends.

The grandest winter solstice festival just now has passed, but from the habits of later generations, Liu Qi still habitually likes to celebrate the Spring Festival.

On the day of the New Year's Day, after listening to the generals such as Xu Case and Zang Ba, as well as the county officials and township officials, who came to the county seat, he let the officials go home early to accompany their families.

However, the Han Dynasty holiday is not as long as the Tang and Song dynasties in later generations, and some officials wade through mountains and rivers to return to their hometowns, but they will definitely not succeed.

As a result, many people who have served as officials outside the country may have grown up more than ten years later when they return to their hometowns again.

Thinking about the New Year, Liu Qi was rarely relaxed today, and did not bring the documents back to the residence.

After returning to the residence, he asked Huang San and others to buy some vegetables and food, prepare for the evening, personally cook a "reunion dinner", and invited Fang Zhen, Xu Zhi, Liu Zhi, Ye Shou, Zang Ba, Sun Guan and other people to have a banquet.

It's rare for everyone to gather today, and on weekdays, it is not easy to gather a group of people and wait!

After returning to the hospital, Liu Qi had a simple lunch and remembered the letters sent by his younger brothers and sisters, as well as the brothers and sisters of the Zhuge family this morning.

So I first came to the study house and flipped through one or two.

After seeing the little sister Liu Youniang, who was crookedly writing, Liu Qi had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said in her heart: The young lady's notes have grown a lot compared to two months ago, and it seems that she is studying well in the Zhuge family. There is also a brother, who has a sharp edge in the comparison, and if he practices diligently, he may be able to become a master of calligraphy in the future.

Liu Qi thought a little stinky.

In fact, the letters from my younger siblings are all about ordinary and trivial things.

Only in this way did Liu Qi feel that in this world, there is the warmth of relatives.

However, Zhuge Jin was older, and he also knew some things in the county, so he was more interested, so he talked about the things that the county government and local county temples had done in order to prevent the increasingly serious problem of banditry in the past few months.

After reading Zhuge Jin's letter, Liu Qi felt the warmth of the stove next to him, and muttered:

"According to Hu Zhen's book half a month ago, with me, the place of Qingzhou, in my last letter and advice, coupled with Jia Xu's plan, and the strong support of the imperial court, the local bandits in Qingzhou have been quelled on a large scale.

But the neighboring Taishan County suffered a disaster.

Seeing the officials of Qingzhou moving their real character, they all ran away for refuge...... In addition, Langya County is also implicated.

As long as the pressure on the state government is a little weaker, it will inevitably make a comeback, and this problem can only be solved unless local control is strengthened and people's livelihood is improved. ”

Liu Qi tapped his fingers lightly on the case, and his thoughts drifted away.

In fact, even with Jia Xu's assistance, under Hu Zhen's rule, he is still not optimistic about the future of Qingzhou. According to Hu Zhen's last letter, the DPRK and China intended to reassign him back to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion.

Liangzhou is closer to Sili Lieutenant, and it is also in Guanzhong, and even in Jingshi Luoyang, which is a greater threat. The chaos in Liangzhou this winter has made the situation even more critical. Relying on Dong Zhuo and others alone, the delay in calming down has made Liu Hong, the son of heaven, tremble, so he thought of Hu Zhen, a "famous general" who had shined on the battlefield in Jizhou.

But if Hu Zhen returns to Liangzhou, how can he compete with Dong Zhuo?

Let's talk about Qingzhou itself.

In the past year, Hu Zhen has been assassinating in Qingzhou for nearly a year, and he has managed to stabilize the situation, and under the advice of Liu Qi's letter, as well as Jia Xu and other staff, he has made an administrative order to the locality, that is, the Yellow Turban Army has been quelled, the bandits have decreased, and the people have returned. Once a chief official is replaced, the policy will inevitably change.

What's even more worrying is that the governor of the state has frequent changes, and if the future history of Qingzhou is incompetent, if it is a person who has no courage and does not act, Qingzhou, an important land, will inevitably be chaotic.

If the speculation came true, he would have been able to see the scene of the Yellow Turban Army rising up, "slaughtering the city, and not being able to defend it".

Liu Qi then shook his head, he is only a county magistrate now, how can he change the situation, it is really a little salty and a little bit of a radish to worry about.

Holding his free time, after replying to the letter, seeing that the hour was not early, he left the study room and looked at the kitchen.

Huang San had already bought the ingredients, and with Xu Case, Liu Zhi, Fang Zhen, Zang Ba and others arriving one after another, Liu Qi hurriedly asked everyone to work together.

Tonight is the New Year, except for the old and the new, the dinner must be hearty!

Liu Qi plans to make a hot pot, make a barbecue, make a few plates of stir-fried vegetables that the Han people eat less, and then build a tofu, which is also a process that Liu Qi changed by himself, and now it is popular in Changxi...... By the way, since the beginning of the winter, he has been in the countryside and assisted the villagers, and the liquor made with the modified formula is indispensable.

Two hours later, it was getting dark.

The desk in the courtyard of the official residence is already full of vegetables.

At the invitation of Liu Qi, Fang Zhen, Zang Ba, Liu Zhi, Xu Case, Ye Shou, Sun Guan and others, who had been busy all afternoon, as well as some invited county officials, such as Dong Wei, all entered.

After Liu Qi sat down, everyone sat down one by one.

Looking at the table table, the rich dishes, and most of them are handled by the county magistrate Liu Qi, and everyone admires them.

Who would have thought that in the eyes of outsiders, the benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise, and extraordinary ability of Chang Chang would know so much cooking!

The sumptuous dishes at the banquet can't help but make people relate to the fact that in the past ten months, Liu Qi has been "manipulating" in Changchang.

Extinguish the chaotic wealthy clans, commit bandits in peace, and settle the people in the countryside...... is like a "food", even those who participate in the service have gained a lot.

For example, a month ago, the newly joined Zang Ba, because of the destruction of Changfeng, after asking for merit for Liu Qi to the state and county, he has been appointed as the governor of the department.

Even Liu Qi himself, because of the destruction of Changfeng, concurrently served as the Sima of other departments, and in addition to the county governance, he could justifiably lead Zang Ba and others to maintain the peace of Changxi and the surrounding counties.

The order of the state government went so smoothly, thanks to the fact that Donghai County guarded Jiang Pei and vigorously supported it.

Looking back on the scenes, then, Yu Liu Qi raised his glass, Fang Zhen, Zang Ba and others all raised their glasses and saluted.

During the meal, the atmosphere was warm, and the friendship between them became stronger.

This is exactly what Liu Qi wants.

The people who can gather under him are counted as the team, and they should be united and work together in the Han Dynasty, and they must not cause chaos in the inside.

After three rounds of drinking, taking advantage of everyone's interest, Liu Qi talked about the outlook for the coming year.

"At this age, it is thanks to the help of all the kings that there is peace and tranquility.

And in the coming year, the emphasis is on the rule of the people. Such as agriculture and mulberry things, honesty is the first ear!

In addition, the training of soldiers should not be wasted.

According to the previous letter from the Fujun, the northwest of Donghai County is peaceful, more than Taishan County, often disturbed by bandits, and the recruited county soldiers are difficult to take care of.

……”

What Liu Qi said is the general direction.

Fang Zhen and the others listened and bowed their heads slightly.

Under the leadership of Liu Qiwei, people are full of expectations for the coming year.
