Lu Zhi's resignation was quickly approved.

Shang Shutai almost did not have any retention and obstruction, and directly allowed Lu Zhi to resign and return to his hometown.

Although Lu Zhi's purpose was indeed not to continue to do this Luoyang Taishou, but the court's resolute approval made him feel a little inexplicable loss in his heart.

I said you might as well keep me for a while!

I, Lu, have made so many meritorious contributions to the Han Dynasty, even if I resign, do you have to go through a process of retaining you?

Just approved it without saying a word, isn't it a little too uncaring for my old man's feelings.

Lu Zhi's mood was lost, so Liu Jian naturally had to comfort him.

It just so happened that Liu Bei had also led his troops to Luoyang, and the two apprentices accompanied the master every day, persuading and explaining, which finally made Lu Zhi's mood better.

Now that he has resigned, he can't continue to stay in this Luoyang City.

Before the arrival of the next Taishou of Luoyang, Lu Zhi needs to sort out all the materials that need to be counted for the imperial court and wait for the official handover.

This time should not be particularly long in theory, after all, Luoyang's weight in the imperial court is very heavy, and the candidate to replace Lu Zhi should be selected in a short time.

It's just that where should Lu Zhi go to teach when he turns back?

He definitely can't go to the mountain.

In the end, Lu Zhi decided to return to his hometown of Fanyang to live as a disciple and live a good life.

Liu Jian told Lu Zhi that his next step was to prepare to study vigorously in Hebei.

There are many official schools to be established in each county, and the same is naturally true for Fan Yang.

To this end, Liu Jian plans to set up a Hebei Education Bureau, which will be mainly responsible for the compilation and verification of learning materials for young children and young people, as well as supervising the operation and coordination of local government schools.

He specially invited Lu Zhi to be the head of the inspection team of the Ministry of Education, who was responsible for inspecting the operation of government schools in Jizhou and Youzhou counties to ensure the increase in the popularization rate of education.

Liu Jian's starting point is good, which Lu Zhi agrees with.

But the problem is that Lu Zhi raised a question about Liu Jian's behavior.

Isn't it a bit arrogant to directly replace the central government's direct management with the Education Department at the local level?

The contradictions that Lu Zhi saw did exist, and in some specific matters, Liu Jian, even if he was a state pastor, could not reform the existing system and operating institutions of the imperial court.

In particular, there is no intention of reform in this area on the central side.

In terms of education, is it a bit of a country of its own to carry out such a drastic renovation of government facilities?

Liu Jian smiled and told Lu Zhi that he would naturally communicate with the imperial court about this matter and ask the imperial court to grant permission.

This is how Lu Zhi was fooled by Liu Jian.

In fact, what Lu Zhi doesn't know at the moment is that the reason why the imperial court agreed to his resignation so quickly this time. It's all because Liu Jian wants to be the general of Fuyuan.

As Liu Jian's teacher, in this sensitive period, Lu Zhi took the initiative to resign, which was also a good thing for the imperial court.

After calming down his teacher, Liu Bei discussed the current situation with Liu Jian.

"I said Deran, did Dong Zhuo recommend you to become a general of Fuyuan? Seeing that winter is almost over, why doesn't there even have a letter from the court? ”

Liu Jian smiled and said, "It's not that there is no letter in the court, it's that they don't want to give me a letter." ”

Liu Bei seemed to have a sudden moment when he heard this: "In this way, the imperial court doesn't want to give you the position of Fuyuan General." ”

Liu Jian nodded and said, "I've thought things a little simple. ”

"I thought that as long as Dong Zhuo's side agreed, this matter should not be a problem."

"But at present, it seems that the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother and the courtiers still occupy a considerable proportion of speech in the court."

"So it seems a bit unlikely that this matter will be pushed forward by Dong Zhuo alone."

Liu Bei smacked his mouth and said, "Then what should I do?" Otherwise, how about we send someone to the court to dredge the middle joints, send gifts to those public relatives and high-ranking officials, and ask them to advise the Son of Heaven? ”

Liu Jian directly denied: "It's okay if it's something else, I'm afraid this matter can be solved without money and goods, and some things have to use some extraordinary means to move forward." ”

"Let's wait for the news from the imperial court now, and when it is true that the Son of Heaven and Monk Shutai have rejected Dong Zhuo's order, let's take further action."

Liu Bei nodded suddenly.

Then, suddenly, he seemed to think of something else.

"Deran, I heard that you have specially set up two military advisors in the mansion to offer wine, one is Jia Wenhe, and the other is from Yingchuan...... It's called Guo Jia, isn't it? ”

Liu Jian was a little surprised when he heard this: "What, is my brother interested in that Guo Jia?" ”

Liu Bei spoke very truthfully: "I was not interested in this person, but how good Jia Wenhe is at scheming, I do know it in my heart, since you can put this Guo Jia side by side with him, then I am really interested in this person." ”

"Could it be that he is a genius of the world?"

Liu Jian said lightly: "It is indeed a genius of the world, but he does not have the ability to give full play to the genius of the world, let him stay with Jia Xu for a while, if he still can't change, then this person will be treated with Jia Xu in the future." ”

Liu Bei was surprised: "Listening to what you mean, it seems that he feels that letting him be on a side by side with Jia Xu is a little wronged by him, but the problem is that Jia Wenhe's treatment in your house is not low." ”

Liu Jian smiled.

"Jia Wenhe's treatment in my house is not low, but in my brother's opinion, can Jia Xu be on a par with Xun Yu at present?"

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Aren't you kidding?" Jia Xu is just a strategist at best. ”

"Xun Wenruo, that's the important person who is in charge of the northern border of Youzhou for you, to put it mildly, if Xun Yu is gone now, half of the power in the northern part of Youzhou will collapse......"

When he said this, Liu Bei seemed to suddenly react to something.

"Could it be that in your heart, this Guo Fengxiao is a character like Xun Yu? The kind that is enough to appoint state affairs? ”

Liu Jian sighed: "I can't say it now, it depends on what kind of mind he will have in the future." ”

"But if he continues to follow this trend, he will be a strategist at best."

……

……

Liu Jian is currently stationed in Luoyang, and the lieutenants at all levels do not have exclusive offices, and most of the people accompanying him are soldiers, so they only deal with matters in the barracks tent outside the city.

Only a few people, such as Tian Feng and Fu Zhi, were placed in a temporary office in Luoyang City.

Among these few people, there are also Guo Jia and Jia Xu, two military advisors.

Although this mansion is not big, it can be regarded as a kind of attention that Liu Jian attaches to the two of them.

Guo Jia successfully became a military advisor under Liu Jian, and he was happy every day.

Especially when he first joined the military divisional office, he was served by someone every day and enjoyed a leisurely office life, which made him feel very comfortable.

Both in status and spirit, they are extremely satisfied.

Especially in this military administration, there is also a Jia Xu who has the same position as him.

This Jia Xu is also very talented and has a very far-reaching knowledge, Guo Jia chatted with Jia Xu when he was fine, and the two of them were also nagging speculation.

And what moved Guo Jia was that Liu Jian also gave him a very high salary.

Although Guo Jia is not out for money, the treatment given to his subordinates by the lord can also show how much attention a lord attaches to his subordinates.

Moreover, Guo Jia and Jia Xu sat in the military division office every day, and from time to time someone would come to give them utensils, cloth, and delicious venison......

Liu Jian even sent two beautiful waiters to Guo Jia to serve him in his diet and daily life.

Although they are all small things, it can be seen how much Liu Jian attaches importance to him.

Guo Jia is very satisfied with this lord.

At the beginning, this day really made Guo Jia feel comfortable.

But the more time goes on.

Guo Jia felt that it was a little different.

He felt like he was a little ...... Idle.

Every day is to deal with some trivial things, the work is not very heavy, most of the things are just an order, and someone will do it for him.

The most he does every day is to eat and drink, eat and drink...... Then it's okay to be idle, and then eat and drink with Jia Xu.

Are you saying this life is not good? Life is pretty good.

But it always felt like something was missing.

It wasn't quite what he had imagined.

……

On this day, after Guo Jia came to the official office, he ordered Mao and came to Jia Xu's house.

Jia Xu was leisurely in the room, sitting on the chair that Liu Jian had rewarded him, and there was a coal pot next to him 'crackling', and the whole room was very warm.

Jia Xu was holding a new book that had just been released in Qingzhou recently, with the words "Romance of the Spring and Autumn Period" on it.

I don't know who made it up, but to be honest, it's interesting.

It's very interesting, and it's much more interesting than the boring scriptures.

I heard that this kind of nonsense idle books have been published in Qingzhou recently, and the sales in Shilin are also very good.

Jia Xu watched while enjoying himself there, and from time to time he reached out and picked up dates from the table and put them in his mouth to bite "click".

It looked so pleasant.

In fact, Guo Jia lived like this two days ago, and he felt very comfortable at first.

But for some reason, he's a little tired now.

Guo Jia came to Jia Xu's side.

He sat down on the futon next to him and looked at Jia Xu quietly.

"Wenhe isn't bored?"

Jia Xu was pulled back to reality by Guo Jia from the wonderful scenes in the book.

"What does Bong-hyo mean?"

Guo Jia let out a long sigh.

"Wen He Gong! It seems that he hasn't seen you and me for several days. ”

Jia Xu laughed when he heard this.

"Didn't the lord just summon you three days ago and I discussed the world's major affairs?"

Guo Jia frowned and said, "But the problem is, it's been three days." ”

"Is three days still long?"

Guo Jia asked rhetorically: "Isn't three days short?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and sighed: "Fengxiao, you must know that the lord has a lot of opportunities, and he has a lot of things to deal with!" He doesn't have time to listen to us every day to evaluate the world's major events. ”

"The world's major events, to put it bluntly, are not things that need to be dealt with in front of you, occasionally talk about it, just forget what the situation is, how can you study it every day? If this person sits together every day and discusses the world's major affairs, then why not do anything else? ”

Guo Jia choked Jia Xu for a while, and he really couldn't refute it.

Jia Xu continued: "You must know that the lord is in charge of almost the entire Hebei, these tens of millions of Lishu, as well as overseas wars, as well as education, iron smelting, taxation, agricultural and commercial ...... Moreover, the lord attaches great importance to the construction of KitKat's fortifications, and each of these things will kill the individual. ”

"The lord was able to meet you and me three days ago, and spend some spare time to discuss with us the so-called 'world affairs', which can be regarded as a spare time, which is already very important to you and me...... He can't make small talk to you and me every day! After all, discussing those so-called world events cannot help the lord to revive the Han Dynasty...... To revive the Han Dynasty, we still have to start with the folk industry. ”

When Jia Xu said this, Guo Jia was stunned.

Jia Xu continued: "The lord is different from other people, he never assigns all things to his subordinates, the lord is used to the overall situation, and participates in it, he is committed to personally planning and expanding the various industries in his own power, although it cannot be said that he must do everything personally, but in terms of his identity, the person who can work so diligently for the welfare of all the people in the world, except for our lord, you can't find a second person." ”

"The so-called wise men like you and me are just playing a little trick on the Lord when there is something urgent, showing him the way, that's all...... But this is not comparable to the things that the lord does himself. ”

"When the lord needs you and me, he will naturally look for you and me."

Guo Jia said: "Then the lord is not looking for it?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "People like you and me, with the title of military adviser and staff officer, when there is no major war, there is nothing to do, do you understand?" Our daily tasks...... It's just to keep it. ”

With that, he looked at the book again.

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Guo Jia was silent.
