The year of Chang'an was lively, with big ups and downs.

It's also the New Year here, but it's very stable.

Compared with the grand pomp and circumstance on the Chang'an side, the New Year on the Luoyang side is much more low-key.

Liu Jian did not make a big show to show his martial arts, on the contrary, this year when he was not at home, he lived an unusually low-key and unusually close to the people.

This year, he can't live with his wife, children, and parents.

He purchased a lot of local specialties in Luoyang, and sent people back to Jizhou to apologize to his parents and wife.

Liu Jian was very reluctant to go to his side during the New Year's Festival, and he felt that he had become more and more negligent to his relatives.

But there is no way, as his career grows bigger and bigger, he is in charge of more and more states and counties, and he has to face more and more pressures and things.

It is an irreconcilable contradiction.

If Liu Jian only cares about his family and ignores the overall situation of the world, maybe one day, Yuan Shao or some other person will attack his prefectures and counties, poison his people, and imprison his wife and children......

Therefore, the current Liu Jian must give up his small family and take care of everyone.

This year, Liu Jian mainly spent time in two places.

The first is on the outskirts of the south gate of Luoyang.

Luoyang is closer to the Central Plains, and the Central Principle is the place where the persecution was deepest because of the war.

The displaced people continue to crowd towards Sizhou, resulting in a continuous increase in the number of disaster victims at the border of Sizhou, and these victims are unable to be appeased by the local state government because of the war.

Therefore, they can only live in Sizhou and sleep in the open, the famine is unbearable, and there is a day when there is no tomorrow today.

The survival of these displaced people is not only a problem, but their existence will also pose a great threat to the livelihood of Sizhou.

After Liu Jian sat in Luoyang, after learning about these situations, he gathered the local famous families, hoping that all families could donate food to help these victims in the New Year.

Liu Jian's request is really a bit too much for these wealthy families.

For more than 100 years, in the eyes of these noble clans, the capital of the low-level township peasants and hooligans was used for exploitation and oppression.

These people are obviously the targets of plunder, when do families from all over the country have to donate food to feed them?

Besides, those displaced people are not natives of Sizhou.

If they are worried that they are wandering in the land of Sizhou, wouldn't the government send someone to expel them?

But when these prominent families infiltrated their ideas to Liu Jian, Liu Jian was very unhappy.

Therefore, Liu Jian said that the matter of fully subsidizing the establishment of a systematic water conservancy project in Sizhou should be temporarily suspended and implemented after discussion and discussion.

After some discussion before, the valve Yuehao family in Luoyang had already paid a part of the deposit to Liu Jian, and was waiting for the winter to pass, and the team of water conservancy experts from Hebei came to Sansi Prefecture to guide the construction of water conservancy projects.

Who would have thought that Liu Jian would be a moth again at this time, and he would threaten them with this matter.

The funds of the Luoyang Wang clan have been invested first, but the bastard surnamed Liu has to find a reason to postpone it.

Isn't this a hooligan?

But the problem is that now these Sizhou people have no choice, after all, they need to point to Liu Jian to make their Sizhou's farming industry and water conservancy technology reach a new height.

Compared to this, donating some food to help the victims is not a big deal.

Bear with me.

Subsequently, during the Chinese New Year, Liu Jian has always commanded the soldiers of the three armies outside the city of Luoyang, distributing food to the victims and displaced people near Luoyang to stabilize the people's hearts.

While this will not completely solve the future of these displaced people, it will greatly alleviate the important survival problems they face in this winter.

Liu Jian has been doing it himself for several days, visiting the victims outside the city who have come to receive relief.

His actions touched the victims very much.

A high-level figure like Liu Jian is really out of reach for the people at the bottom.

However, just like such an unattainable hero, he is now outside the city, in this cold winter, in this hunting cold wind...... Personally give them porridge and rice.

And he stayed all day, not afraid of the cold.

Just ask, who wouldn't have a sense of gratitude in their hearts for such a hero?

In this era when the law of the jungle is extremely explicit, there are too few characters like Liu Jian.

"General Liu is as kind to me as a mountain!"

With a cry, I saw an old man who was about sixty or seventy years old, crying and kneeling down in front of Liu Jian in the snow.

The old man was indeed revealing his true feelings at this moment.

The old man, supported by his children, shouted loudly from the bottom of his heart.

"Uncle, please get up quickly."

Liu Jian hurriedly stepped forward to help the scrawny old man.

A large number of old people, the aisles are still trembling, unkempt, yellow and thin, I am afraid that even in a good living environment, it is not a person who can live for a few years, let alone sleeping in this kind of icy and snowy wilderness?

"Don't kneel, old man, this disaster is only temporary, because our Han is sick, although the illness is very serious, but Liu has been trying to find a way to treat the Han Dynasty...... You have to believe that the Han Dynasty will definitely get better! I promise you that I will cure the stubborn disease of the great man! ”

The old man nodded vigorously, tears filled his forehead.

"I don't understand anything for Xiaomin, but I know that only General Zuo can save the world, and only General Zuo can save our lives! Thank you, General Zuo! ”

On the snow, one by one the homeless people began to kneel down towards Liu Jian.

"General Zuo, save us."

"Help us! Checkmate! ”

"Only you, General, can help me wait."

"Please, General, save us, save the world!"

"We don't have too much luxury, we just hope to be able to stutter and eat, which is enough......"

Looking at these homeless people who knelt in front of him and cried from the bottom of their hearts just for a bite of food, Liu Jian had mixed feelings in his heart.

Even after so many years of being a superior, he is still a person who has worked hard from the bottom.

The pain and helplessness of the people at the bottom, he will always know best.

Perhaps they are the ones who have no mistakes in the world, but bear the pain of the higher-ups.

What do these people want? Their request is actually quite simple, just want to have a home, that's all.

However, the exploitation and competing interests of the superiors have left them with no place to stay.

The most basic conditions for survival are gone.

"Keep giving alms, give porridge!"

Liu Jian waved his sleeves and commanded the sergeant behind him.

"No!"

"The general has an order, everyone line up well and continue to receive porridge."

"Take the container in your hand."

"Don't fight, don't grab."

Liu Jian let out a long sigh and said:

"Gao Tang drank the bell, and went to Xiaowen to cook.

The cold are willing to be moths and burn to death. ”

Then, with a little more determination in his eyes, he turned and walked towards the city.

"Lord!"

After arriving at his mansion in Luoyang City, Fu Zhu immediately reported to him: "Chen Jie, the new Taishou of Luoyang, arranged a New Year's banquet at the county office tonight, and invited the lord and I and other Hebei officials and lieutenants to the banquet. ”

Liu Jian shook his head and said.

"Help me reject this Chen Taishou, tonight, I will go to the barracks to celebrate the New Year's Festival with the soldiers."

Liu Jian's order did not surprise Fu Zhi.

After all, in Liu Jian's heart, the soldiers of his army were much more important than a person who had just been sent by the imperial court to replace Lu Zhi and Yang Taishou.

As the patriarch of one party, as a general with a false festival, if he celebrates with the soldiers during the New Year's Festival, it can not only make Liu Jian's prestige shocked, become a good story, and make Liu Jian famous, but also boost the morale of the three armies, so that the soldiers will have more respect for their lord, and they will be more pro.

No matter how you look at it, it's cost-effective to celebrate the holidays with your own soldiers.

"Don't worry, the lord is going to reject that Chen Fujun."

"By the way, my lord, there is one more thing."

"What?"

"Hedong Taishou Wangyi sent two envoys to see the general."

Liu Jian raised his eyebrows.

"The envoy sent by Wang Yi, hehe, must be because of the Bai Bo army's invasion of the county in Hedong."

Frustratedly said: "Come to think of it, the Baibo Army started an incident in Hedong, and Wang Yi, as the Taishou of Hedong, although he has some soldiers and horses in his hands, he is probably far from being the enemy of the Baibo Army, after all, the Baibo Army is also the strongest among the thieves in the world." ”

"He must have come here to ask the general for help."

Liu Jian shook his head helplessly: "It stands to reason that I should have promised him." ”

"It's just that the current actions of the White Wave Army are beneficial to me, and I deliberately provoked them to fight, so you think I should not support them against the White Wave?"

He smiled and said: "If you use common sense, the general should not send troops, but the general's thoughts have never followed common sense, and I can't guess what the general thinks." ”

Liu Jian laughed: "In this case, let this envoy wait a little longer on the grounds of the New Year's holiday, let me delay it, and see the envoy again in the new year, how about it?" ”

There was a bit of helplessness on his face.

"General, I'm afraid this matter is not appropriate."

Liu Jian didn't expect that Fu Zhu would be able to say such a thing.

"Why?"

Frustrated, he sighed: "Hedong Taishou Wang Yi sent two people to see the general this time, one of them is Qu Junhou in the Hedong Army organized by Wang Yi, and he is a native of Hedong, named Xu Huang. ”

Liu Jian's face showed a little surprise, but it quickly disappeared.

Xu Huang......

"Who else is it?"

"There is another person, who is Wang Yi's younger brother, Wang Ai, the second son of the Niyang Wang family, that is, a classmate who studied the scriptures with the general in the Wushi Mountain back then. ”

"This person is also a protégé of Duke Lu, this time the Duke is a messenger, and he is visiting the same door privately, is the general missing?"

"It's him, the second eldest of the Niyang Wang family, the fat pier who peed his pants in the Wushi Mountain back then......"

Liu Jian stretched out his hand and scratched his chin and smiled.

This Hedong Taishou Wangyi did have two sons, and he was afraid that the messenger he sent to ask for help would not be seen, so he sent Lu Zhi's protégé, that is, his classmate.

In terms of personal affairs, this person Liu Jian can't be seen.

Even if Liu Jian doesn't want to see it, Lu Zhi must see it.

"Okay, then ask the messenger from Hedong to come to me...... Remember, not only my classmate Wang Ai, but also that Qu Junhou Xu Huang, I also want to see. “

"No."
