A few months later, in the middle of Miyagi, Beihai National Drama County.

Since Tanaka and others lost power, Zhou Renfu, the decadent state prince, regained his strength, and these days he often entered the palace to find the king of Beihai to discuss the affairs of the country.

Even though the King of the North Sea repeatedly showed impatience, Zhou Ren was still happy to do it.

"Since the Minister of State has entrusted these things to the State Minister, the State Minister can do it with peace of mind, and there is no need to discuss everything with me. Lone is an idle person, and he doesn't like to listen to these things about his family and country. ”

I don't know how many times it was the first time that the king of Beihai, who could only wave his hand to interrupt the song and dance because of Zhou Ren's intrusion, sighed, "Now Xuande has handed over many vacant official positions in the country to the national master, since he trusts the national master very much, why should the national master doubt himself." ”

The Tian family and other wealthy families have been entrenched in Beihai for many years, so they naturally installed a lot of people in the court. It can even be said that more than half of the DPRK, especially many important positions, are in the hands of these wealthy families.

And with the fall of the Tian family and other wealthy families, under the implication, whether it is upward or local, there are naturally a lot of vacancies.

Liu Bei handed over many of these inconsequential civilian appointments to Zhou Ren, who placed people at will.

To put it more bluntly, it is just an exchange of interests between the two sides.

If Zheng Xuan is the leader of the scribes in the country, then Zhou Ren is the leader of the scribes in the country.

"The king's words are wrong, but now there are ministers of the country, and there are many benevolent governments." Zhou Ren Zhengse said, "It's just that the state has regulations, and all things should be done according to the law, and the appointment and dismissal of personnel should be reported to the king first." ”

Liu Zhong smiled, looked at his own national master with a red face at the bottom of the stairs, and said with a smile: "I remember that when Xuande first took charge of the power in the country, the national master had many complaints, why did he respect Xuande so much in just a few months?" Is it just because he promised you a lot of official positions? ”

"Naturally not. What kind of person the minister is, the king should know in his heart. Zhou Ren made a straight face, "There are only two reasons why the minister is convinced by the minister now. ”

"One is that, as the minister said, the prime minister has been in the country for several months, and he has been benevolent and handy. If it were up to the ministers, it would definitely not be able to do it like this. Recently, the government of the country has been watched, and the saying that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh is indeed reasonable. ”

"The second is that a few days ago, Gaomi Zheng Gong wrote to me, mentioning the opening of the school, hoping that we and other scholars can work together. In the letter, Zheng Gong really praised Xuande's personality. Zheng Gong is a famous person in the world, knows countless people, and the person who is praised in his mouth will naturally not be an ordinary person. ”

】

Liu Zhong, who was on the high seat, nodded, understanding why Zhou Ren's attitude changed so quickly.

Zheng Xuan is a famous man in the world, and he is even more famous in Beihai Province, and the sergeants of the country are proud to be able to exchange letters with Zheng Xuan, and Zheng Xuan's casual words of praise can even make ordinary Confucian students in the country famous overnight.

Therefore, there are many people who want to make friends with Zheng Xuan, but Zheng Xuan is a widowed character, and in the past, he was mostly bored at home reading scriptures, and rarely made friends with people.

and can't make friends with this Zheng Gong, but the heart disease of this national master Zhou Ren for many years.

"Even Gong Zheng came to write a letter, Xuande really has the ability. Leave the affairs of the kingdom to him, and you can truly be safe and worry-free. Liu Zhong smiled, "It's been a long time since I've seen Xuande, and he can't still patrol outside?" ”

It turned out that Liu Bei had returned from Gaomi and handed over all the affairs of the country to Jia Xu and others. He mostly took Guan Yu to inspect the townships in the country, and he had not returned to Xi County for a long time.

"It's true that he is still visiting the township, and if the king knows that there are several people in the county, it is most likely that the prime minister has gone there." Zhou Ren smiled bitterly.

He now realizes that Liu Bei has promised him a lot of official positions, which may not be a good thing.

Liu Bei has to replace several officials in the county every time he passes, and now the original officials in Beihai Country are about to be replaced by him.

"Those who can work harder." Liu Zhong laughed, "It's a good thing to be busy, and some people can't get it even if they want to be busy." ”

Zhou Ren knew that this was Liu Zhong's situation and thought of his own situation, but this matter could not be persuaded.

Fortunately, after so many years, Liu Zhong is used to this kind of day, and quickly regained his thoughts, and said with a casual smile: "Recently, Gu has researched a new song and dance according to Xuande's guidance that day, and when Xuande comes back, he will definitely let him taste one or two." ”

"When it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, he Liu Xuande is far inferior to Lonely."

………………

The Tian family in the drama county is rarely crowded.

In the past, the first wealthy family in the county is now unspeakably down.

Mo said that it was compared with the heyday of his own family, and even compared with the ordinary families in the county.

Not long ago, Tanaka divided the Tian family and separated many children from the main line.

If these people were naturally reluctant to leave when the Tian family was at its peak, but now that the big tree has fallen, they naturally want to leave this broken ship that has leaked on all sides as soon as possible.

Tanaka, who had not been so idle for so many years, sat alone in the courtyard, drinking with a bowl of wine in his hand.

This daughter Hong, which is worth a thousand gold, tastes really good, if he was young, he would definitely be able to drink two jars alone. It's a pity that now that I'm older, I can't even drink half of the jar.

"It seems that when this person reaches his age, he not stops with gray hair, but reminds you that you are no longer the old man. Am I right? Tanaka looked at Cheng Quan, who had walked in from the door.

These days, he is cold here, and only Cheng Quan will often bring wine and food to visit him.

"Everyone has this time, and now that you are old, you can spend the rest of your years here in peace. It's useless to think about anything else. Cheng Quan put down the wine and food in his hand.

"If I had fallen into such a situation back then, I would have thought about looking for strength to make a comeback, but now I feel that it is better to accept my fate like this. It's a terrible thing at this age. Tanaka laughed.

"Now that there is no restraint from me, Beihai Middle School should be considered stable. I've heard of this Beihai minister's actions outside. He was silent for a moment, "It's just that I don't understand something, what is he asking for when he does this?" ”

"It's just an official, even businessmen like you and me know that military politics is a big deal. It is true that he can get a good reputation for using his money for people's livelihood, but even if those ordinary people praise him, what is the use? ”

"I can tell you about it." Cheng Quan smiled and poured himself a glass of wine, "I have been living in seclusion in Luoyang for a long time, do you know why I came here to make this trip to the troubled waters." ”

"Why?" Tanaka also came to be interested.

"It's just because Jia Wenhe mentioned a word in the letter." Cheng Quan said with a smile, "It is said that Xuande said it on the way to the east." ”

"I hope that the places he passes through in the future, whether in the countryside or in Longshang, can hear the sound of young people reading aloud."

Tanaka laughed, "That's a big ambition. ”

Cheng Quan also laughed, "Who says it's not." ”

………………

Outside the city of drama, there were several horses galloping past from outside the city, and it was Liu Bei and a few people who went to the countryside to patrol.

Liu Bei rode his horse in front and did not enter the city, but turned the horse's head and took Guan Yu and others straight to Anle.

Anleli is far away from the city, and if you want to see how Jia Xu and others are governing in the days when they are gone, Anleli is undoubtedly a good place to go.

An hour later, several people came to the inner door. It's just that unlike the last time I came, the chief didn't even stand at the door today.

"It seems that the chief has also slackened." Liu Bei laughed and led the horse first.

"Now that the temple and the strong beams have been swept away according to the orders of the elder brother, the country has become much more stable, and it is common for them to be lax. It also shows that the text is not bad with what they did in the days we left. Guan Yu should make peace.

Liu Bei smiled, his second brother has always been unruly, and he is somewhat contemptuous and wary of those scholars.

Although he has changed a lot over the years under his frequent reminders, it is extremely difficult to completely change the character that has been raised in his bones.

Since he spoke for Jia Xu today, most of them have already recognized Jia Xu in their hearts.

"It's also funny, my brother hasn't married yet, but before we visited the township, those villagers still wanted the newly-born children in the township to change to the same surname as their brother." Guan Yu has always been a person who is not smiling, but when it comes to this, he can't help laughing.

Liu Bei, who was leading the horse in front of him, turned dark at first, but then he couldn't help laughing.

It turned out that in the past, many local taxes were already heavy, and the local officials cleverly used the name to collect more taxes, so many local children did not raise them, but drowned them in the river.

Now that Liu Bei is in power, he has dismissed corrupt officials, abolished harsh government, and built more water conservancy, and cashed in for work, although it is not rich in food and clothing, but it also gives them some respite.

There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. These people are grateful for Liu Bei's kindness, so they want to change their newborn son to the same surname as Liu Bei.

It's just that in the end, Liu Bei refused.

On the way, they met a few people in the middle of the house, and found out that the captain was in the newly established schoolhouse.

The two led their horses straight to the north.

…………

The school building is built in the northernmost part of the house, and there are many towering trees around it. It's almost winter, and most of the leaves on the trees have already fallen off.

Liu Bei and others came here, but they stayed in the distance and never approached.

Now that it was dusk and the sky was not completely overcast, the gentleman who taught the children in the school house was a young man, and he asked the students to carry wooden benches outside the school.

The young man who stood up at the front was dressed in a plain shirt, and although his figure was a little thin, his back was straight.

He chanted in front of him, and the village boys in front of him sang in unison.

The lieutenant was sitting under a big tree, looking cross-legged at the young men not far away.

The young people's immature voices of recitation rose high, rising from the ground and hearing from the sky.

Liu Bei smiled, showing some pride on his face for the first time.

"Yun Chang, I also have a scholar in Beihai."
