In this era, everything is justified. Although Liu Zheng and Li Min actually controlled the two counties of Xuansu and Lelang, because they did not keep their reputations too much, their governance in the two counties was legally untenable.

Therefore, at Li Feng's suggestion, Liu Bei sent Jian Yong to Luoyang North Park to sell the official office, and bought the two of them a position of taishou in installments.

Originally, according to Li Feng's plan, these two Taishou posts also went in the way of credit officials. But I don't know if Liu Zheng and Li Min are not famous enough, or the ten permanent servants are obstructed, and in the end, the two Taishou positions each cost 10 million yuan. The upfront payment is 1 million, and the remaining 9 million will be paid in five years.

By the time this matter was completed, it was already March of the second year of Zhongping.

Although Liu Bei could easily take out two million dollars after receiving 600 million yuan from the Zhen family, after the money was given, Liu Bei still had a toothache for a while, and sighed for a long time.

Once most poor people get rich, they will have a revenge consumption heart, but Liu Bei will not, because his ancestors have been extremely poor for two generations, so poor that he used to sell straw shoes for a living, he is really poor, and he especially cherishes his hard-won wealth.

In Li Feng's view, Liu Bei is the ceiling of all the lords of this era, willing to delegate power, and there is no doubt about employing people.

With such a lord, you don't have to worry about being robbed and imprisoned after confronting him, and you don't have to worry about being killed by someone who steals his limelight.

Because after an unfamiliar person confronted Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would teach him to make a corpse on the spot; Familiar people can be casually topped, Liu Bei is very broad-minded and will not get angry.

Seeing Liu Bei sullen, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also twisted their brows into the word "Sichuan" and sighed together. They don't read much, and they don't know anything about how to make money, how to improve people's livelihood, and how to manage government affairs.

So Li Feng proposed: mining copper ore, minting a large number of five-baht coins, and at the same time implementing a grain-based barter system in eastern Liaodong.

As soon as this proposal came out, the eyes of Liu Guanzhang and the others immediately changed.

They don't understand the brilliance of the grain-based strategy, they only know that they can mint money by themselves, which is a great thing.

So Li Feng told them the key to the system of minting money and adding grain.

In short, people in Liaodong can take the big money minted to buy and buy all over the country, and outsiders can do nothing in Liaodong with the money. The comparison is equivalent to harvesting materials from all over the world by printing money, but this money is not circulated in the three counties of Liaodong.

In order to prevent the news from leaking out and affecting his reputation, Liu Bei handed over the money errand to Zhen Yi to take care of.

After everything was arranged, Liu Bei planned to visit Sanxian again.

As soon as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard that they were going to visit Sanxian again, they both had displeasure on their faces.

How to say that Liu Bei is also the lord of the three counties, and his status is noble. repeatedly whispered to visit three scholars who didn't know what they were capable of, but it was too cheap and too aggrieved.

Zhang Fei took out a bundle of hemp rope from the house and pinned it to his waist, turned over and jumped on the horse's back, and shouted at Liu Bei: "Big brother, don't bother, I will use a hemp rope to tie up the three sages!" ”

Seeing this, Liu Bei was shocked, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Fei's reins, and reprimanded loudly: "Third brother, how can you be so rude? I don't need you to go this time, just let Yun Chang and Conghu go with me. ”

Li Feng was holding his stomach on the side, almost laughing.

Zhang Fei glared at the gloating fourth brother fiercely, turned over and dismounted, lowered his head and said, "Since the two brothers and the fourth brother are going, how can I fall behind?" Big brother, I'll go too. ”

Liu Bei looked at him angrily, "It's okay for you to go together, but you must know etiquette and don't make trouble!" ”

Zhang Fei agreed.

In March, the brothers came to Tugang Village in Yushi County for the second time, and there was still more than half a mile away from the thatched house of the three sages, so Liu Bei dismounted and walked.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at each other, sighed and got off the horse, Li Feng pulled at the back, and led the two horses leisurely, as if they were tourists who came to visit the mountains and rivers.

Liu Bei walked to the thatched house, and as soon as he knocked on the door, the scholar came out again. The scholar told Liu Bei that Mr. Guan Ning and Mr. Bing Yuan were playing chess in the courtyard. Liu Bei instructed his three younger brothers to wait outside the door, and he walked in gently, standing respectfully at the foot of the steps, silently watching Bing Yuan and Guan Ning play.

Bing Yuan and Guan Ning play Go, Go needs to be deduced, it takes a lot of brainpower, and there are no rules for time-limited falling in this era, so the two of them are focused and immersed in it, and it takes a long time to make every move.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood outside the door for a long time without moving, so they looked inside. Seeing that Liu Bei was still standing stupidly waiting. Zhang Feiden was extremely angry, pointed to the courtyard and shouted to Guan Yu and Li Feng: "How can these two gentlemen be so arrogant! Wait until I put a fire on the back of the hut and see if they are still sitting still! ”

"Third brother, don't be reckless!" Guan Yu and Li Feng glanced at each other, immediately reached a consensus, and hurriedly persuaded each other loudly. While persuading, the two pushed Zhang Fei to walk behind the thatched house, and Li Feng even stuffed a flint and steel into Zhang Fei's hand.

“？？？”

Zhang Fei looked at Guan Yu and Li Feng of the Ming Persuasion Gang, and looked confused, but the cruel words were all said, and it was not his style not to set fire, so he took the flint and went to find dry firewood.

At this time, I suddenly heard a voice from the courtyard: "I don't know if the distinguished guest has arrived, Bingyuan (Guan Ning) is rude, rude!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei's voice came, "It's okay, Bei has just arrived." I have heard the names of the two gentlemen for a long time, and I met them last time, but I didn't meet them, so I came to visit them today. ”

The brother turned back from behind the thatched house, and through the fence, he saw Bing Yuan and Guan Ning saluting Liu Bei together

"Shoujun came to the grass house, and the two of us didn't greet him in time, I'm really ashamed!"

After the three of them gave each other some courtesy, they entered the grass hall and talked about national affairs while drinking tea.

Liu Bei said that he admired the talents of the three sages very much, and wanted to ask them to help him govern the border counties, benefit the people, and support the Han family.

During the conversation, Liu Bei's sincerity and benevolence finally moved Bing Yuan and Guan Ning, and the two immediately bowed down and recognized the lord.

Liu Bei was overjoyed and was about to visit Wang Lie again and gather all the three sages, but was told by the two that Wang Lie had gone on a trip, so he gave up.

The group turned back to Xiangping, Liu Bei appointed Bing Yuan as the county leader, and Guan Ning as the governor, the former was responsible for managing the affairs of Liaodong County, and the latter was responsible for coordinating the affairs of the three counties of Liaodong.

Originally, Zhizhong was an adjutant under the command of the state assassin, and Liu Bei had no right to appoint it. But he actually controlled the three counties, and he really needed such a person to lead the overall situation, so he changed the official position he was engaged in to Zhizhong to Zhizhong.

Thanks to these two great sages, the huge and complex affairs of the three counties quickly became orderly, and the rule of law system was gradually improved. At the same time, taxes were reduced to encourage people to do business; Encourage people to go to the sea to fish, hunt and breed.

After the promulgation and implementation of policies and regulations, the people of the three counties have realized that the times have changed, and their good days are coming.

Guan Ning and Bing Yuan also got enough power, and they were full of energy every day. Under Liu Bei's command, they finally realized the pleasure of what they had learned in their lives.

Liu Bei saw that the officials in the county were all ready, so he also put out the thought of inviting Wang Lie out of the mountain.

Li Feng did not persuade again. These three people, Bing Yuan, Guan Ning, and Wang Lie, are all great talents who can govern a continent, and now it is already Qu Cai to let the first two manage three counties. When the territory is bigger in the future, it is not too late to invite Wang Lie to come out of the mountain.

After inviting four great sages successively, the top priority has changed from seeking talents to cleaning up the surrounding foreign clans, expanding the population under his rule, and minting money to turn Liaodong into the land of abundance.

For Li Feng, there is still a task looming.

Whip the post!

Of the fourteen main quests previously released by the system, only this one task has not been completed.

But I don't know what's going on, after Cui Lian, the superintendent of post, came to Liaodong County to take up his post, he was cautious, meticulous in his work, neither greedy nor crazy, so that people couldn't catch any handles.

Even, when Cui Lian inspected the eighteen counties under Liaodong, the county magistrates from all over the country gave him gifts privately, but he refused with righteous words.

This made Li Feng speechless.

Seeing that it was April, Cui Lian still didn't show his feet, Li Feng finally couldn't wait, and sent someone to summon Cui Lian to the Taishou Mansion.

No matter what reason he finds, he has made up his mind for today's whip!
