46. Recruit Jia Xu, and the grain arrives in Luoyang City

"Ahh Why not? ”

This old bastard wouldn't really be like that, would he? Didn't do it for the officials?

Fang Yi thought secretly.

"If you don't want to, you don't want to,"

Jia Xu arched his hand, and then turned around and left.

Fang Yi and Old Man Bai, who only stayed present, were embarrassed for a while.

"County Lord Fang, my brother has a strange temper, and I hope that Lord County will not mind."

Old man Bai didn't know what to do, so he had to make amends.

"So how are you going to do things for me? You open the conditions. ”

Fang Yi panicked in his heart, for fear that the famous minister in front of him, who he had finally met, would run away, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to try to keep him.

Jia Xu's footsteps were indeed stunned, he turned his head to look at Fang Yi, and sighed: "You and I are not all the way, the county lord should find someone else." ”

"What's the matter? Wouldn't it be better for you and me to take what we need? ”

Seeing that Jia Xu stopped, Fang Yi hurriedly turned over, and said while stretching out his hand to hold Luoyang: "I need your talent and skills to govern Luoyang, I can give you the power I can give you, whether you want to fish in troubled waters and be in peace, or if you want to seriously govern the city and become famous in the world, as long as you are willing to help me, I will do what you want!" ”

Seeing this, the old man Bai beside him also echoed: "Yes, Brother Jia Xu, I also know that you have nowhere to display your talents, brother, I don't have much potential, follow the county lord Fang, he is so sincere, he will definitely treat you preferentially." ”

"It's not a question of whether you can do it or not,"

Jia Xu shook his head, "In such a chaotic world, there are many capable people, I am nothing, I will be content to protect myself in troubled times, and once I participate in it, it will be difficult for me to get out." ”

"So, even if you are asked to govern a small county, are you afraid that you will not have enough strength?"

Fang Yi's eyebrows sank slightly, he had already given Jia Xu enough face, but this old slippery head was really sloppy, which made him helpless.

"This Luoyang County alone, I naturally don't have a problem, but will you really stop here?"

Jia Xu raised his right hand and pointed at Qin Liangyu behind Fang Yi, his purple robe was mixed with a dangerous aura, which made his middle-aged and simple scholar appearance instantly take on a sense of trickery.

"This poster... Belch... The female general Qin Liangyu, suppressed bandits, defended the city, and even defeated Ma Yuanyi, the Yellow Turban bandit group entrenched in the eastern mountains of Luoyang, a few days ago! In Luoyang, it is famous. The army is trained so hard, presumably the strength has reached a thousand enemies? ”

He paced unhurriedly in place, and his words also made Fang Yi turn his head to look at Qin Liangyu in surprise.

Qin Liangyu was silent and nodded.

This little girl is already so strong?

"With a sharp weapon in hand, the murderous intent suddenly rises,"

Jia Xu continued, "If you hold this piece of good jade in your hands, you will inevitably join the ranks of the Kyushu campaign in the future. ”

"I don't agree with what Mr. said,"

Fang Yi shook his head and said, "Holding a sharp weapon is also a prerequisite for self-preservation, if I don't have good jade, what should I do if the bandits invade Luoyang?" Do you let them snatch and bully and laugh away? ”

Seeing that Jia Xu seemed to be bowing his head and pondering, Fang Yi continued to ask: "Just like now, you say that you have no Guardian Legion, then I will order Liangyu to kill you on the spot, and raze this restaurant where Bai Lao has devoted half his life to the ground, what should you do?" ”

These words made the old man Bai behind him embarrassed for a while, and he didn't even dare to come out, but Jia Xu's face was still flat, as if he was thinking.

"To put it more broadly, if Kyushu is not strong enough for internal friction, then the foreign tribes, like the Xiongnu, Nanban, and Baiyue tribes, won't they have evil intentions and won't attack?"

"Now that you have the "Strategies of the Past Dynasties" in hand, after you know the Three Kingdoms, the chaotic history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the era when the Han people were almost wiped out, isn't it precisely because of the lack of force that foreign races are rampant?"

"Force is not a reason to violate others, it is a prerequisite for self-preservation, a weapon to keep others from harming you. There is nothing wrong with making oneself strong, if Luoyang is not strong, won't the people in the city face the result of displacement and family ruin? ”

Fang Yi stared at Jia Xu who was speechless in front of him, he had already talked enough, and the next thing was to look forward to the other party's answer.

"I didn't mean it that way, just force...... That's it, in such a world of great controversy, who can protect himself? ”

Jia Xu let out a long sigh, his eyes were gloomy, "Since you can give me what I want, then I will help you, it's okay, I just hope that when you want to resign and leave one day in the future, it's better if you don't stop it." ”

"Whether Mr. leaves or stays is all on his own will, what reason do I have to stop him?"

Seeing that it was about to happen, Fang Yi laughed out loud, "With Mr. to govern, it will be the fortune of the entire Luoyang people." ”

After saying goodbye to Old Man Bai, Jia Xu also went back to the county lord's mansion with him.

Fang Yi was in a particularly comfortable mood.

Who would have thought that an ordinary banquet would allow him to gain a famous minister?

The next day, he began to arrange a position for Jia Xu.

As an old fritter, Jia Xu is like a fish in water for interpersonal communication, and he recommended himself to be an official who manages Luoyang County, and carefully screened according to the conditions that Fang Yi is used for.

Fang Yi believed that the remaining scholars in the local area were already in an unstable position under the impact of their own open trade, and if Jia Xu was brought to power, they would no longer have the ability to turn the waves.

"In this way, it's a miscellaneous matter."

He sat in the antechamber and watched the new county officials come to receive their appointments, full of joy and equally happy to be busy with the matter.

"Lord County, the grain purchased from Daqin has arrived in Luoyang."

A subordinate official walked into the hall with a roll of bamboo slips in his hand and reported to Fang Yi.

"Arrived? Good, good! ”

Fang Yi praised twice, packed his clothes, took Qin Liangyu, Jia Xu and others, and drove outside the city.

Daqin's grain transport team was stationed outside the city gate.

They did not dare to enter the city at this time, and now the city was full of hungry people, and as soon as they entered, they would be surrounded by water.

If something goes wrong, they can't afford to take responsibility.

"Your Excellency the county lord, all the 582 trucks of grain transportation are here, please take a look."

Seeing Fang Yi and his party stepping down from the carriage in a mighty manner, the grain transport officer led by Da Qin hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Jia Xu.

"Hey, what are you doing? I'm the county lord, okay? ”

Fang Yi waved his hand, motioning for the unsightly grain transport officer to look at him.

"Huh? How can it be? You are so young, you are the county lord of Luoyang City? ”

The grain transport officer muttered with a look of surprise on his face.

Fang Yi shrugged, didn't continue to hold on, and began to inspect the truckloads of grain.

The group followed him and picked up the grain.

"With these grains, Luoyang will be able to ease this breath, although the price offered by Daqin is high, it will help a lot in the end,"

Fang Yi touched the burlap bag full of grain on the carriage with his hand, smiling and chatting,

"Luoyang's autumn harvest this year is definitely enough to survive the winter, and next year, with this year's warmth and decay, it will be a bumper harvest year!"

He was looking forward to the bright future of Luoyang, and the people around him were also echoing, but suddenly he was stunned, and his subordinates stopped as if they had arrived.

The smile on his face also froze in an instant, Fang Yi froze in place, staring at the grain transport officer, and asked, "You, let me ask you, what are these grains?" ”

"Huh? Back to the county lord, they are all some good rice, millet and so on. ”

"Rice? Do you people of Daqin also eat rice made of sand?! ”

Fang Yi's face turned hideous, he turned around and pulled out Qin Liangyu's saber, cutting the burlap bag with one sword, and the delicate sand and soil instantly flowed down like water!
