Liu Bei was a little surprised at first by Sun Qian and Guoyuan's request, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was no surprise.

It's nothing more than Zheng Xuan figuring out something.

However, Liu Bei was still a little curious about these two people.

"You don't follow Zheng Gong to concentrate on academics, but you come to my place to do things, don't you feel condescending?"

Sun Qian shook his head and said with a smile: "The teacher told me about the affairs of the Ministry of General Affairs, and I only knew that the one who turned the tide this time was Junhou, and the teacher also said that I have learned almost everything that I can learn from the teacher, but what I can learn from Junhou is not so simple." ”

Guo Yuan nodded.

"As promised."

Learn something from me?

Liu Bei thought about Zheng Xuan's performance yesterday, nodded, and didn't think about it anymore, so he accepted the two of them and promised to let them do things in the Ministry of General Affairs.

However, when it comes to doing things, the General Affairs Department is actually still in the run-in stage at this moment, and many things and rules and regulations have just been set and are in the adaptation period.

What I am really doing is not only to run in, that is, to learn "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period", Han Law, and to control the public opinion of scholars in Luoyang City and update them at all times.

The public opinion environment in Luoyang City has actually been controlled by the ancient literature school, no matter what the current literature school does next, as long as Liu Bei wants to, the black can also be said to be white, and the dead can also be said to be alive.

There will be many people who will want to believe it.

Therefore, the advantage of public opinion is really too important.

"Are these hundreds of people the ones that the prince relied on to turn the tide?"

Sun Qian followed Liu Bei around the General Affairs Department, listened to Liu Bei tell them about some facilities and functions in the General Affairs Department, and then looked at the people coming and going in the General Affairs Department, and saw that they were in good spirits, and they were also dressed in uniform plain clothes, which was quite a bit of a look.

"That's natural, now the Ministry of General Affairs is still creating, and there is not much that can be done, but despite this, the first shot has achieved good results."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "The reason why I want to set up the General Affairs Department is the difficulty encountered this time, fortunately, what they did did did not exceed my ability to deal with it, and I can't deal with them if they are willing to come up with more things." ”

"The prince's clever plan, the literary school has put a lot of effort into it, but it has not gained anything."

Sun Qian said with a smile: "The teacher often said in our ears that the prince is indispensable to the ancient literature school, and we were still puzzled at that time, but now we have no doubts. ”

"Zheng Gong praised it."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "The two of you should also have a little understanding of the General Affairs Department, I wonder if you want to serve in the General Affairs Department?" ”

"Can you choose?"

Sun Qian said with a smile: "The prince said that entering the Ministry of General Affairs is to be assessed and selected and then uniformly distributed, and the two of us will choose by ourselves as soon as they come, isn't it appropriate?" ”

"The two of them are Zheng Gong's high feet, and I have this because I believe in Zheng Gong."

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "But if the two of you have the desire to participate in the assessment, of course there is no problem." ”

"Prince, let's follow the rules, if you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle."

Guo Yuan, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly spoke: "Setting rules is to abide by them, if you don't follow them, there is no need to spend time setting rules, there are two of these things, so I think there can't be one." ”

Liu Bei immediately glanced at the taciturn Guoyuan.

"Zi Ni Gao see, worthy of Zheng Gong Gaozu, that's good, Gongyou, Zi Ni, I will arrange this matter to prepare for the selection assessment for you, and when you pass the assessment, I will celebrate for you."

Sun Qian and Guoyuan thanked Liu Bei for his arrangement and agreed to come to the assessment tomorrow.

Then the three of them discussed some details of their lives, including the accommodation and life of Sun Qian and Guo Yuan in the Ministry of General Affairs.

They followed Liu Bei to visit the four-person dormitory that had been finely renovated by the Cao family, and were amazed.

Both of them said that although they were Zheng Xuan's high feet in Luoyang, the housing prices in Luoyang were high, and they could not buy them, but they rented a house to live in.

The houses they rent are short and cramped, poorly ventilated, and poorly lit, and far less comfortable than the "dormitories" of the Ministry of General Affairs, so they are willing to live in the dormitories of the Ministry of General Affairs and live in a collective.

Later, Liu Bei chatted with them about other aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and told the two of them the specific treatment of the General Affairs Department, so that they could move in with their bags, and they didn't have to care about the rest at all, and organized the contracting.

The two were even more surprised.

"Junhou, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all included, so calculated, the general affairs department spends a lot, but I haven't seen the input, how to manage it? Wouldn't it be long before you were empty-handed? Or does the prince have other inputs? ”

Sun Qian was very surprised and asked Liu Bei.

Liu Bei smiled.

"I have my friend Cao Mengde, as well as my subordinate Zhen Yan, they are all from a big family, quite wealthy, I learned that I want to start the Ministry of General Affairs, so I took the initiative to support, with their support, the use of the Ministry of General Affairs is just a drop in the bucket.

Besides, if you want to make the horses gallop, you must use good forage for the horses, and eat concentrated feed before the battle, so that you can run fast and far, and not let the horses be fed, but still expect the horses to run, I will not do it.

If you can be fed, warmly dressed, live comfortably, and have cars and horses when traveling, you will have no worries, and people who have no worries will do their best, otherwise food, clothing, housing and transportation will be unstable, and they will consider using power for personal gain, isn't this putting the cart before the horse? ”

Sun Qian was greatly admired, and Guoyuan also nodded again and again, praising Liu Bei's enlightenment.

The details were almost sorted out, and the two decided to return to prepare, and Liu Bei called a carriage to send them back, saving them from continuing to walk back.

On the carriage back to his residence, Sun Qian and Guoyuan exchanged their opinions, and felt that what Zheng Xuan said was good, and it was very interesting to stay in the general affairs department to follow Liu Bei.

"The teacher said well, on doing practical things, Liu Xuande said second, only his teacher Lu Gong can say first, the master and apprentice are in the same line, both are practical talents, just a few months, they pulled out such a façade, it seems, even a bit of the meaning of the government, there is monthly money, there is food and accommodation, food and accommodation are quite good, there are carriages for travel, and clothes and bedding can be arranged."

Sun Qian sighed: "People say that Liu Xuande is unparalleled in debate, in my opinion, he is not only unparalleled in debate, he can consider these trivial things clearly, and be blameless, he is definitely a person who can do great things." ”

"Yes, I didn't expect the hundreds of people in the general affairs department to be so organized."

Guo Yuan said in a low voice: "And did you notice it just now?" Those people treat Liu Xuande with great respect, the orders are clear and orderly, the rules are also very perfect, and the division of labor between each other is also very clear, I think the future is promising. ”

"The teacher is indifferent to fame and fortune, and just wants to concentrate on academics, which I admire very much."

Sun Qian smiled and said slowly: "But my self-cultivation is far from enough, in the face of fame and fortune, I really can't stay away, Zini, what about you?" ”

"I'm here with you, do you need to say more?"

Guo Yuan's expressionless face also had a smile at this moment.

Sun Qian laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, I know! You seem to be dignified, and you don't know how much you think in your heart! ”

In the face of Sun Gan's ridicule, Guo Yuan didn't care at all.

"A saint also has to eat, let alone a layman like me? It's just that there was no clear goal before, but now there is this goal. ”

"It's the pole, it's the pole."

Sun Qian said with a smile: "But I don't know what Liu Xuande can do, and what kind of official position he will have in the future......"
