Spring turned to summer, and many things gradually got on the right track, and Liu Xuan found that he had nothing to do for a while.

In terms of internal affairs, Xun You has sorted out the population figures of Chang'an these days, and at the same time began to pay attention to the specific situation of the surrounding counties.

From the current point of view, Liu Xuan is quite satisfied with the results, after all, it has not really become a troubled time, and the Sili area has been the least affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so the population of the counties near Chang'an has not decreased too much, and even increased slightly compared to the usual peaceful season.

The root cause is the frequent fighting in the surrounding area, coupled with the rampant yellow turbans, many people have fled here.

If we were to change people, I am afraid that we would have to worry about how to resettle such a large number of people in this influx, and if we did not handle it properly, it would be even more troublesome to provoke a popular uprising.

Liu Xuan didn't care about this, but was even happier.

Now, under his private instructions, Wang Yun personally presided over the burial of those talismans in the designated place, and then piled up large stones on them, or simply erected a stone statue, and at the same time presided over the distribution of grain seeds, encouraging those displaced people to reclaim wasteland - there is still a lot of land at this time, and the northwest has not yet caused a large area of desertification due to the war, so as long as people are willing to reclaim, they can more or less reclaim a field that is enough to support their families.

At the same time, after Lu Bu returned to Beijing, he brought back a lot of blacksmiths, all of whom were blacksmiths from the original Niu Auxiliary Army - the arrival of these blacksmiths also solved another problem: farm tools!

Originally, the blacksmiths were worried that they would be captured by Lu Bu and taken to Jingshi, and the Son of Heaven would punish them for the crime of being a thief, but they didn't expect that the emperor not only did not condemn them, but even directly arranged a new job for them - although they were not very happy to leave their hometown, it was better than moving their heads.

In addition, the imperial court has never missed their wages, and it is estimated that this trip may not be completed next year, and it is not easy to find a business that can make a living at this time, so the blacksmiths are not only not dissatisfied, but happily start work.

There are enough farm tools, there is a population, and the land still needs to be reclaimed, although the land that has just been reclaimed cannot be directly turned into fertile land, but Liu Xuan has countless methods in his heart, if he can't even solve this problem, he still quickly washes it, and then takes a knife to his neck to make it more happy.

Secretly sending people to do a few tricks near these lands, although it is not possible to immediately appear the wonders of thousands of acres of fertile fields, but it can also make these lands into ordinary good fields, and when the harvest is time, it will not be much worse.

This move was originally a great act of kindness, but it was not suitable for publicity everywhere at this time, but Liu Xuan would not let go of such an opportunity to enhance his reputation, so he had prepared early, as long as it was time for the autumn harvest, as soon as the scene of this large area of land was harvested, it would immediately appear: The Son of Heaven has been blessed by God, and now under the rule of the Son of Heaven, he should have plenty of food and clothing!

For this reason, Liu Xuan also asked Xun Yu to contact some fellow villagers, these people are not enough to become officials in the court, but it is most appropriate to create some rumors everywhere - scholars have a high status in the hearts of ordinary people, they say this, eight out of ten people will believe it, and the remaining two will not think about what is wrong although they are skeptical.

It can be said that if these people are used well, the effect is no worse than that of thousands of troops - and it is also this ability of these people that has made the emperors of all generations very hateful.

Of course, if these people do things beautifully and cleanly, Liu Xuan will not be stingy, it is impossible for big officials, and some small officials can still give favors, no matter how bad they are, they can give a small official.

Xun Yu will not object to this kind of thing that shows the energy of scholars, so he went to work early, and he didn't stay in the palace much during this time, but Liu Xuan was not afraid that no one could discuss things, since Xun You recommended Guo Jia, Liu Xuan directly asked Xun You to recruit Guo Jia to Beijing by letter.

Right now, this Guo Fengxiao is sitting in front of him.

Guo Jia is only twenty-one years old this year, for this era, this age is quite embarrassing - he is already an adult, but he is not the age to start a family, many people think that men of this age are still in the learning stage, even if they are already quite talented, they should accumulate knowledge and experience everywhere, and basically no one will reuse such a young man.

In fact, it is almost the same, Guo Jiacai has long been famous in history, but he has been at home until he was twenty-six years old before Cao Cao was appointed exceptionally (Yuan Shao was recommended by Tian Feng that time, but he was not reused), this is because he has the name of great talent, otherwise it is not impossible to hold back until the age of thirty.

"How is Bonghyo feeling lately?"

Liu Xuan sat there very casually, and then looked at Guo Jia who was diagonally in front of him, this young man seemed very casual in front of many people, a little bohemian, he didn't pay much attention to etiquette, but in front of himself, he restrained all that side.

After all, he is the emperor, and this identity is very oppressive for these scholars. Liu Xuan didn't play any kind of tricks, just how to do it, after taking the school exam, he casually sealed the position of a speaker.

This position is also a position with no fixed number of people, and it is somewhat similar to the emperor's advisory group in terms of authority, which Cao Cao originally held.

Generally speaking, when he entered the court as an official, he started with a lot of speakers, and then decided his future promotion path according to the situation in the court and the various performances of this person at that time, but Liu Xuan took Guo Jia as the speaker, but he made up his mind to let him be his senior adviser.

In addition, Liu Xuan also noticed that Guo Jia's health was not very good, and Guo Jia seemed to have the habit of swallowing pills, and there were a lot of toxins accumulated in his body, so after the examination school had sealed his official position, Liu Xuan changed the topic to this matter.

Guo Jia has nothing to hide about this, many people have this habit today, especially among the wealthy families, it seems to have become a popular move, quite a trend: if you have never taken pills, you are embarrassed to go out to meet people!

In addition, Guo Jia's body and bones are relatively weak, and colds and fevers are common, and after looking for someone to diagnose and treat, he learned that there are congenital defects in the lungs, so he swallows pills more often than ordinary people, and the picture is to recuperate his body.

He naturally didn't know that the so-called pills he swallowed would not only not help him at all, but would make his body worse - maybe nothing now, and he would even feel that his energy was indeed much stronger, but that was just because he was young at this time, and his body could withstand this kind of toss, and when he could not continue in the future, then his time was near.

Liu Xuan didn't say as soon as he opened his mouth: "Your pill is not good, don't take it in the future." ”

Instead, he talked about Dan Dao with Guo Jia, and he didn't say much, but just talked about the ingredients of several popular pills, and then asked in a different way: "If people swallow gold, iron, stone and earth for many years, but they don't know what will become of them in the end......

Although Guo Jia was unhappy in his heart, he also began to think about what effect these things would have on his body?

Speaking of which, there is no need for Liu Xuan to say any more, let Xun Yu send Guo Jia away, and then Xun Yu will do the rest. If he is an emperor, can he talk so much nonsense with another subordinate? If he has a little brain, he will naturally understand what is going on.

Guo Jia naturally has brains, and his brains are better than most of them, so as soon as he came out of the Xuan room, he asked in a low voice about Emperor Xun Yu's words, could it be that he really persuaded himself not to be too obsessed with Dandao?

At this time, Guo Jia was not thinking that the emperor knew Taoist mysticism, but considering that the Yellow Turban Rebellion that caused disaster in all directions a few years ago, whether it would cause the court to be dissatisfied with Taoism and want to kill the killer, so he told himself to pay attention, so as not to get into trouble and be caught.

But Xun Yu's answer made Guo Jia completely unexpected, and even he wondered if Xun Yu was joking with himself?

"Your Majesty knows occultism?"

After he went back, he thought about it for three whole days and didn't figure it out, he always felt that it was too illusory, but it turned out that Yulin Zhonglang personally sent Zhang Liao a wooden box, and only after seeing the contents did he believe it - in fact, he didn't believe it at first, but Zhang Liao demonstrated the mystery of it a little, and Guo Jia couldn't help but believe it.

Now that spring has passed and summer has arrived, Guo Jia has also lived in Chang'an City for more than a month, and he has practiced the magic method that Liu Xuan made Zhang Liao transfer for some days, although it is impossible to have any effect immediately, but it does clean up a lot of toxins in his body.

Today, the emperor summoned him and asked at this time, Guo Jia replied truthfully: "At the beginning, I only felt soft in my hands and feet, but in the past two days, I have felt a lot more refreshed." ”

When I first started practicing, I drank medicine and detoxified with Liu Xuan's prescription, and I was a mess every day, and it was strange if I didn't have soft hands and soft feet. In those days, Guo Jia couldn't even go to the court, so he could only claim that he was sick.

At that time, Guo Jia even wondered if the emperor had poisoned himself, but after thinking about it, there was no need for the emperor to poison him, just let the guards cut him down, not to mention that the emperor didn't need to do this.

It just so happened that Xun You took the time to take a look at him, and at the same time brought something to Guo Jia to help him recover, at this time Guo Jia could already be sure: the emperor values himself very much.

After confirming this matter, although Guo Jia is still a little restrained in front of Liu Xuan, he has let go a lot compared to when he first met.

"Your Majesty invited Weichen to come today, I don't know why?"

As a councilor, this official said that it was not very low to say that it was not very low, but he would definitely not be specially summoned by the emperor if he was usually fine, and this time the emperor called him here, there must be something to inquire about. During this time, it has been determined that the emperor really values himself, so he must also show some ability, so that the emperor knows that he is not wrong.

"Oh?" Liu Xuan looked at Guo Jia, knowing that this Guo Fengxiao also wanted to prove his ability, so he smiled and said: "I am sitting in Chang'an today, looking at the northwest counties, where do you think you should take it first?"
