After paying tribute to Zhen Yi, Liu Jian did not return to Yecheng in a hurry, but went to Nangong County.

His teacher Lu Zhi was there, and Su Shuang and Liu Ya had also been doing business there recently.

In the name of the pastor of Northern Jizhou, Lu Zhi helped Liu Jian govern the four counties of northern Hebei.

Now Mr. Lu, everything is based on Liu Jian first, all government decrees are issued by Liu Jian, and Lu Zhi is only responsible for implementation.

Lu Zhi put his position very clearly, he said that he was Liu Jian's subordinate, that is, he sincerely gave Liu Jian as his subordinate, and never regarded himself as a teacher.

This is the most respectable thing about Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi takes Liu Jian as the official, but Liu Jian still has to give face to the teacher, after all, no matter how you say it, this is a teacher who has promoted himself, and Liu Jian must respect it.

After Liu Jian arrived in Nangong County, he listened to Mr. Lu's report.

I have to say that in addition to governing the army, Mr. Lu's political ability is not ordinarily high, Liu Jian arranged the tasks in the tuntian of each county, and Mr. Lu completed it very well, and in the way of treating the four counties, Lu Zhi Enwei used both, old and strong, not inferior to Liu Jian.

When it should be hard, when it should be soft, everyone is respectful and awe-inspiring to him, and his methods are very sophisticated.

After listening to Mr. Lu's report to himself, Liu Jian gave Mr. Lu a very high evaluation of his political and military achievements.

Subsequently, Liu Jian ordered Liu Ya, who was ordered to meet him: "Please ask my uncle to find a suitable woman in the clan and marry the Zhen family in Zhongshan." ”

Today's Zhuojun Liu's father-in-law, although Liu Jian's father-in-law Liu Zhou, mainly relies on Liu Jian's uncle in terms of industrial operation.

From the day when he unified the resources of the Liu clan in Zhuo County, Liu Ya showed his extremely smooth side in front of Liu Jian, which also allowed Liu Jian to see his talent in business and development of the family.

Over the years, Liu Ya has naturally become Liu Zhou and Liu Jian's deputy, helping them to run the family business and cooperating with Su Shuang all year round.

Liu Ya listened to Liu Jian's order to marry the Zhen family, first surprised, and then suddenly.

"What kind of girl does the envoy want to find in the clan to marry the Zhen family? Someone with a look, or someone with a higher status? ”

Liu Jian said: "It doesn't matter if you look at your identity, you are smart and sensible, it's best to be a little more powerful and be able to control her man." ”

When Liu Ya heard this, he really didn't understand.

It seems that this is the first time I've heard of such a selection of people for marriage, what kind of routine is this? I don't understand!

Seeing that Liu Ya seemed to understand or not, Liu Jian simply picked out what he said.

"Just look for it like my mother!"

"Oh!"

When Liu Ya heard this, he slapped his thigh.

If you said that, I would have known!

"Rest assured, this matter will be on me!"

Liu Jian continued to instruct him: "Uncle Cong, Zhen Yi has just passed away, and his son is still in the mourning period, so he can't get married for the time being. ”

Liu Ya was stunned again.

Good manner, what do you do with this girl in my room?

Su Shuang's reaction was still faster than Liu Ya, he gently slapped Liu Ya with his elbow, and said with a smile: "Liu Gong, Zhen Jialang will be your grandson-in-law in the future, how should the Zhen family's business be operated, you can't point fingers yet?" ”

When Liu Ya heard this, he suddenly realized.

Nephew, this is to let me intervene in the Zhen family's business.

Yes, yes, it's so good.

"Rest assured, I will handle this well."

Liu Jian looked at Su Shuang again and said, "The area I asked you to explore over there, can you explore carefully?" ”

Su Shuang hurriedly said: "Envoy Jun, over the years, for the area south of Yanshan, his subordinates have summoned many masters who are familiar with the geography to explore and survey, and now they have been investigated!" ”

Liu Jian said: "Give me pointers!" ”

"Yui!"

Lu Zhi took the map, Su Shuang held the sunspots, and put a few in the area south of Yanshan and north of the Bohai Sea.

"Envoy, although this is not a county, but as I said before, there are a lot of copper, iron and gold, and a large amount of graphite, the resources are very rich, if vigorously mined, it is to feed the iron ore and graphite of several states, and it is absolutely enough!"

Liu Jian nodded slowly and asked, "This place can be in Jizhou?" ”

Su Shuang shook his head and said regretfully: "It is still under the jurisdiction of Youzhou. ”

"Alas!"

Liu Jian sighed lightly.

The Tangshan mining area is not within its own jurisdiction, so it cannot be deeply mined for the time being, and it has to wait for Youzhou to be incorporated into its sphere of influence before it can be started......

Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, those two bastards, why don't they do it! If they don't do it, how can they use troops in Youzhou.

"That's it, just know the location, go back and let your people continue to explore more, try to demarcate the area, and then mine when there is a chance in the future."

Su Shuangzuo said: "Huh! ”

"Also, how are you preparing for the construction of a port in Bohai County?"

Su Shuang heard the words and hurriedly said: "Build a port to build a shipbuilding industry, this matter has no precedent in Hebei, although the Bohai Sea is near the sea, but the nearby industry is mostly the fish industry, if the port is established, the cost is not small, and how to benefit, you are really not sure at the moment, so it has been unresolved!" ”

Liu Jian's expression was displeased, and he said: "You are also the chairman of Hebei Commerce and Trade, this little thing, can't be decided in a word?" Do you have to show me personally? ”

"Coastal shipping, as well as the mining industry in the territory, is an inevitable thing, these two things are of far-reaching significance, whether it is for the people or the country, they are all beneficial for a thousand years, such good things for others, I want to rush to do it, how can you just rub it in?"

"Give you three months to manipulate the association with the Zhen family and finalize this matter! It's okay to spend money, you can build it little by little, but it's not allowed to be delayed! ”

"Of course, the pastoral department will also fund, and will not let the association and the families do it in vain."

"The benefit of this, I have already made it clear to you at the beginning, you can figure out the words carefully, talk to the family patriarchs, and be convinced!"

Su Shuang hurriedly gave up his hand, but only agreed.

After talking about some miscellaneous things, Liu Jian asked Su Shuang and Liu Ya to run errands.

In the hall, only he and Lu Zhi were left.

Lu Zhi arched his hand at Liu Jian and said, "I don't know what the general has to say to so-and-so?" ”

"Oh, teacher, don't say that, aren't you slapping students in the face? Whoever a student commands, he can't order a teacher. ”

No, Lu Zhi's expression was extremely serious.

"Don't say that, you and I are teachers and students on weekdays, but in political affairs, since I am determined to respect you, then you are naturally my lord, and the etiquette that should be observed must still be observed."

Liu Jian walked up to Lu Zhi with a smile and said, "Let's not talk about political affairs now, let's talk as teachers and students." ”

Lu Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly.

"You're still accommodating as a teacher."

However, Lu Zhi knew that Liu Jian respected his teacher after all, so he was not very humble.

"Deran, Weishi recently received a letter from a person."

"Who is it?"

"Yuan Shao of Wancheng."

As soon as he heard Lu Zhi talk about this person, Liu Jian's nerves suddenly tensed.

He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Yuan Shao wrote a letter to the teacher from Jingzhou, what happened?" ”

Lu Zhi smiled faintly, then turned around and went to the back hall first.

After a while, he saw Lu Zhi come back and handed a letter in his hand to Liu Jian.

"See for yourself."

Liu Jian thanked the teacher and took the letter to read.

The contents of that letter surprised Liu Jian, but it was not unexpected by him.

Yuan Shao has already begun to organize the anti-Dong Zhuo Alliance!

And this letter is his invitation to Lu Zhi to join his alliance.

Now, in the eyes of outsiders, Lu Zhi is independent.

Not many people know that Lu Zhi is actually Liu Jian's subordinate.

It's unlikely that the teacher will give the student a hand, but it just happens.

Liu Jian slowly closed the letter, and then looked at Lu Zhi.

"What does the teacher think of this?"

Lu Zhi didn't seem to care.

"Lu respects you, so he naturally wants to listen to your arrangement and scheduling, and do what you say."

Teacher Lu is obedient, can afford to take it, and can put it down.

Liu Jian said: "How many forces does the teacher think Yuan Shao can entangle against Dong Zhuo this time?" ”

Lu Zhi thought about it carefully.

"There won't be too many people who respond to Yuan Shao on the surface, even the local county guards bring thorn history, it would be good to have ten people, but the high-ranking ministers who secretly helped Yuan Shao are afraid that they will be like fish in the river, countless."

Liu Jian knew that Lu Zhi's vision was sharp, so he asked, "Where does the teacher think Yuan Shaozhi is?" Does he really plan to confront Dong Zhuo and save the Han family? ”

Lu Zhi said in one word: "Confronting Dong Zhuo is not important to him, the important thing is that he can take this opportunity to encircle the hearts of the Guandong clan and the world, and establish his position as the head of the world's corporal clan." ”

"Yuan Benchu, since he hit Luoyang, he feels that his ambition has become bigger, and it is no longer beyond the control of Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji."

Liu Jian sneered: "Teacher, you only thought about half of it, but there is another half that you didn't expect." ”

Lu Zhi didn't expect Liu Jian to say this, and said, "Where is there any omission for the teacher? ”

"Teacher, have you ever thought that once Yuan Shao's anti-Dong Zhuo alliance is established and gathers troops and horses to march into Luoyang, how should Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji deal with themselves in Luoyang City?"

Hearing Liu Jian say this, Lu Zhi was stunned.

He pondered for a while before he said, "Dong Zhuo will take Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji hostage to blackmail Yuan Shao?" ”

Liu Jian shook his head and said: "Teacher, teacher, if you are in Dong Zhuo's position, you may end up doing this, but Dong Zhuo is not a Kwantung scholar, he is from Liangzhou, his enterprising spirit and revenge are very strong, I know Dong Zhuo, he is a person who will repay him." ”

When Lu Zhi heard this, his face turned pale.

"If the second Yuan dies, the old officials of the Yuan Sect should be attributed to the ......"

Liu Jian said: "Seeking the leader of the Dong League, a model in the world, now there is a position of the sect leader of the Yuan family, this is the meaning of Yuan Shao's entanglement against the Dong Zhuo Alliance." ”

When Lu Zhi heard this, he suddenly slapped the table and said angrily: "If this is the case, he is really the head of the troubled world, I should write a letter and reprimand him!" ”

But I saw Liu Jian and said, "Teacher, do you believe me?" ”

Lu Zhi looked at him suspiciously: "Of course I believe in you, and everything is up to you for the teacher." ”

"Okay, since that's the case, then please don't write a reply to Yuan Shao."

"Don't write letters? And don't answer him? ”

Liu Jian said: "Yes, neither respond nor refuse him, I have my own plans for the rest of the matter, please don't worry about the teacher." ”

Seeing Liu Jian's firm demeanor, Lu Zhi could only sigh and agree.
