Han Dao world

Zhong Yao just arrived at Shangdang, and when he got off the train, he had no foundation.In terms of influence on Shangdang people, he is far inferior to the Yuan family, whose disciples and old officials are all over the world.As soon as Yuan Shao arrived, Zhong Yao was likely to be tied up.

Since the chaos in Hedong is inevitable, it is better to let him go for a while, let him be arrogant for a few days, and then go back and deal with him after he controls Shangdang.

Waiting for a few days, I can still see the hearts of the people in Hedong, and give those who are interested in Yuan a chance to jump out and clean up together.

Xun You's few words showed his extraordinary vision from strategy to tactics, and also showed his sincerity.

"Very good." Liu Xie looked at Xun You with relief. "If the prefect of Shu County can't do it, you can change to serve as a servant, and follow me to the river east."

Xun You has been sizing up Liu Xie's face, seeing Liu Xie's calm and quick decision, he is very satisfied.

It seems that what Yang Feng said is true, the Son of Heaven bears the mandate of heaven and is a rare genius.

If the big man still has a chance to rejuvenate, it must be the young man in front of him.

In contrast, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are far behind, and Yuan Shu and Liu Biao are not worth mentioning.

"Wei." Xun You bowed and saluted.

Chapter 174

Cai Yan was helpless.

The emperor just accepted her suggestion, so be cautious.As soon as he rolled his eyes, he treated Xun You frankly and became a close minister.

This is somewhat hasty.

While Xun You went to wash, change clothes, and get the seal and ribbon, Cai Yan tactfully reminded Liu Xie not to trust others.

Liu Xie laughed silently.

"Ling Shi is not familiar with Xun You, and it is reasonable to be worried. Although I dare not say that Xun You has no reservations, it is certain that he wants to be loyal to the court and fight for his future. If not, how could he Why remind the Shangdang of danger?"

"Your Majesty is familiar with Xun You?"

"Know a thing or two." Liu Xie thought for a while, and said, "Go back and find out who called Xun You as an official, and then elected him as an official."

"Wei." Seeing that Liu Xie was confident, Cai Yan didn't say any more. "Your Majesty, the number of documents has increased recently, and the supply of bamboo and wooden slips is insufficient. The government needs to increase manpower, and sometimes cut bamboo and wooden slips."

"Are you in a hurry?"

"Very urgent." Cai Yan shook the bamboo slip in his hand.The emperor had just discussed the situation with Xun You, and she memorized another large volume. "In addition to daily notes and meeting minutes, there are still a large number of copies that are copied to the minister. Even if the copies can be cut and written after they are returned, they still need to be processed by hand..."

Looking at Cai Yan who was talking non-stop in Xu Xu's mouth, Liu Xie was also a little helpless.

Bamboo and wood strips are expensive and bulky, which is a very realistic limitation.

"Persist for two days first, or go to the camp to recruit some illiterate women to help dispose of the recycled Janes. When you get to Hedong, find a way to build a paper mill to make paper. Always follow with a large roll of Janes. It will fall to the root of the disease.”

"Papermaking? This is a way, I'm afraid there are not enough people."

"Recruit from the family members of the ministers and soldiers. If you are idle, you can do some work and earn some money to subsidize the family." Liu Xie thought for a while, and then said: "You can discuss it with your wife later, and see if she has something to offer. No interest in hosting this."

Cai Yan felt reasonable.Most of the ministers and soldiers had family members, and many prisoners were rescued from Li Jue's camp, and most of them were women.These people can't do heavy physical work, they can only wash and cook for the soldiers, and they can't help being despised.

If you can build a paper workshop and gather them to work in the paper workshop, you can also be quiet.

-

As the sun sets, the earth is plunged into darkness, and the camp is lit with stars and lights.

When Liu Xie returned to the camp, Xun You was waiting in front of the tent, chatting with Jia Xu.

Pei Qian stood aside.

Seeing Liu Xie approaching, the three of them turned around at the same time and saluted Liu Xie.

While returning the gift, Liu Xie said to Pei Qian, "How many bamboos are there in the east?"

Pei Qian said: "There are many mountains in the east of the river, and bamboos and trees are flourishing everywhere."

"In this case, is there a paper mill in Hedong?"

"There are paper mills, but the technology is mediocre and unusable. Scholars still like Shandong paper, but the price is high and rare, and it is not as affordable as bamboo and wood."

"Nowadays there are too many official documents, and the bamboo and wood slips consume too much and are cumbersome and inconvenient. It is better to use paper."

Pei Qian couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, although paper is light, it is not cheap. If you use it in large quantities, you may not be able to bear it."

"Then find a way to reduce the cost." Liu Xie interrupted Pei Qian with a wave of his hand. "Go to each camp and ask if there is anyone who knows how to make paper, even if you know a little bit. Get together and piece together, maybe you will know how to make paper."

Pei Qian agreed, turned around and left.

Liu Xie invited Jia Xu and Xun You to take their seats.Both Fu Shou and Song arranged for the court ladies to set up a banquet and serve the dinner.

Dinner is very simple, each person has a bowl of wheat porridge, a piece of mustache, a dish of sauce, and a dish of soy sauce.

Liu Xie was also polite, picked up the cake, dipped it in some sauce, and took a bite.

Jia Xu got used to it a long time ago, took a sip of the porridge, broke off half of the cake, dipped it in some sauce, took a small bite, and began to chew slowly.

Seeing this, Xun You imitated the example, but frowned when he ate the porridge.

Liu Xie ate quickly, so he took a copy of the official document to read, but it was the news sent by the chief farmer Zhang Yi.

Han Sui and Ma Teng showed signs of sending troops to Guanzhong.There are only [-] old and weak in Guanzhong, and there are very few cavalry, which may be difficult to deal with.

In addition, Liu Zhang, the Mu of Yizhou, went to the table and said that Liu Biao, the Mu of Jingzhou, was not a minister.Because Hanzhong was occupied by rice thieves and the roads were impassable, the above table was delayed for more than half a year, and it was not handed over by Zhang Yi until Zhang Yi appeased Guanzhong.

Liu Xie was very disapproving.

When Liu Yan was alive, he sent troops to join forces with Han Sui and Ma Teng to attack Li Jue and others.Now it is said that rice thieves block the road and cannot communicate, which is clearly an excuse.

You think I don't know that the so-called rice thief is your watchdog.

It's just that now that Liu Yan is so angry, Liu Zhang has turned his face with Zhang Lu, and it is possible that the fake will come true.

After Xun You finished eating, Liu Xie handed him Liu Zhang's upper table.

Xun You glanced at it, then handed it back.

"Liu Zhang is weak, and Yizhou has too much time to take care of himself. It is difficult to achieve great things. Your Majesty may wish to recruit talented people from Yizhou to join the court, so as to maintain the hearts of Yizhou. As for Hanzhong, Zhang Lu used five buckets of rice to restrain the common people. It is quite popular, but you should be careful. So as not to sit in a catastrophe."

"Are you familiar with Zhang Lu?"

"Not familiar." Xun You shook his head. "However, those who confuse people with the Tao are mostly confused people, and it is not enough to cause trouble."

Liu Xie was somewhat surprised. "Is the disaster of the Yellow Turban not a lesson?"

Xun You said indifferently: "The yellow scarves have risen from all directions, claiming to be in the millions, and seem to have a great momentum, but once Zhang Jiao died, they fell apart and fell apart. Now each occupies one side, and it seems to be sweeping, but in fact it is just a fish in the bottom of the pot. Struggling to survive. Cao Cao was in Yanzhou, and Gongsun Zan was in Jizhou. They both broke the Yellow Turban. Yuan Shao went to Heishan, and he won every battle, and there was nothing to fear."

He paused, and then said: "The disaster of the Yellow Turban does not lie in its intensity, but in its long duration. If you want to cure it, you must follow the king's way. When the king's way is practiced in the world, the Yellow Turban will naturally return to the way like a flood and turn into a trickle."

Liu Xie thought so, and gave Xun You another high-level look.

After Jia Xu finished eating, Liu Xie asked Xun You to repeat the suggestion just now. Jia Xu listened quietly and nodded in agreement.

But he immediately asked another question: who should be sent to the party?

Xun You didn't express his opinion.

Liu Xie already has someone in mind.

Shangdang is adjacent to Yecheng, Yuan Shao's base camp, and there is Zhang Yan's Department of the Black Mountain Army who is being defeated by Yuan Shao in the territory, so it is most appropriate to send Yang Feng there.It can not only assist Zhong Yao to defend the Shangdang, but also contact the Black Mountain Army, killing two birds with one stone.

But he didn't say it directly, but instead asked Jia Xu.

"Who do you think Mister is suitable for?"

"Ex-general Duan Yao." Jia Xu said flatly.

Liu Xie was surprised that Jia Xu's attitude was so firm that he did not intend to discuss it at all, but strongly suggested it.

For Jia Xu, this is rare.

"What's your reason, sir, why don't you tell me?"

Jia Xu shook his head. "There is no one else, only the situation is suitable. If the Shangdang is to attack Yecheng, the left general Yang Feng is more suitable. If the Shangdang is to defend the party and prevent Yuan Shao from advancing westward, the former general Duan Yao is the most suitable."

Liu Xie suddenly realized.

He remained calm and turned to Xun You. "What does the waiter think?"

Xun You bowed and bowed. "Jia Shizhong is worthy of being a wise man in Liangzhou, and he hits everything."

Chapter 175

Liu Xie then asked another question, what about Guanzhong?

Jia Xu looked up. "If I take a trip, I may be able to solve the crisis in the pass and recruit thousands of elite horsemen for your majesty."

"Are Han Sui and Ma Teng willing to listen?"

"Han Sui is ambitious, so he may not be willing to listen, but Ma Teng will definitely listen. As long as Ma Teng does not send troops, Han Sui will not dare to act rashly."

Liu Xie thought about it and felt that Jia Xu was right.

It's rare that Jia Xu is so proactive, so let him do it.If it can be done better, if it cannot be done, there will be no regrets in the future.

"It's just that once the master leaves, I have something to do here, who should I discuss with?"

Jia Xu turned to look at Xun You with a slight smile. "Your Majesty, Xun Shizhong is in his prime of life, he is resourceful and decisive, and he is not chaotic in the face of danger. With him making suggestions for His Majesty, His Majesty will be able to win by surprise, and good news will spread frequently."

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows lightly.

He trusted Xun You because he knew what kind of person Xun You was.

It is strange that Jia Xu trusts Xun You so much.They should have no contact.

At this time, Jia Xu took the initiative to ask to go to Liangzhou. Is it to avoid suspicion or to test?

"Have you two had a relationship before?" Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu, then at Xun You, with a slight smile on his face.

Xun You shook his head and looked at Jia Xu with the same doubt.

Jia Xu stroked her beard and smiled. "There is no communication, but there have been fights. Xun Shizhong has the strength to stay calm, and he is calm when he is in prison. I admire him very much."

Xun You's expression changed. "Oh it's you?"

Jia Xu nodded. "It's me. Xun Shizhong, the party members value reputation and lack real talent. They are definitely not good companions. They should be respected and kept at a distance."

Xun You pondered for a moment, then bowed his hands and saluted. "Thank you, sir." Then he turned to Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know something. At the beginning of Dong Zhuo's chaos, the officials and Yilang Zheng Gongye (Zheng Tai), the long history He Boqiu (He Yong), and the servant Zhong Yuanfu (Chong Ji) ), Yueqi school lieutenant Wu Wuyu (Wu Qiong) conspired to assassinate Dong Zhuo. The plan was not secret, and the minister and He Boqiu were arrested. The strange thing is that there has been no court, and he was released after waiting in prison for more than ten days."

Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu. "Is it sir who ordered the arrest?"

Jia Xu sighed. "As Dong Zhuo's counselor, I couldn't sit back and watch Dong Zhuo be assassinated, and I couldn't bear the death of a loyal man, so I had to arrest him and put him in prison before his deeds were revealed. Unfortunately, I didn't know that Wu Wuyu was also involved in the incident, and only Xun Shizhong and He Boqiu were arrested. He Boqiu died in sorrow and anger, and Xun Shizhong was as immovable as a mountain, and he never showed any flaws."

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing.

Does this count as friends not getting together?

Jia Xu and Xun You also looked at each other and smiled, expressing pity for each other.

After the discussion, Liu Xie ordered someone to draft an imperial edict to make Jia Xu appease Han Sui and Ma Teng with integrity.Duan Yao led the troops and rushed to Shangdang to assist Zhong Yao.Yang Feng also speeded up his schedule, trying to cross the river as soon as possible, contact the Baibo army, and prepare for battle.

-

After leaving the tent, Jia Xu and Xun You stopped walking with a tacit understanding.

"Sir, see you in Hedong."

Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled. "Hedong is so insignificant. When you and I meet again, we will be in Meiji."

Xun You thought for a while, and nodded his head in agreement. "I hope this battle can reorganize the rivers and mountains, relieve the worries of the elbows and armpits, and revive the prestige of China."

Jia Xu sighed. "Gongda, I envy you."

"Why did you say that, sir?"

"I'm nearly half a hundred years old, and I don't have many days left. I'm afraid I won't see the day when His Majesty reorganizes the rivers and mountains. The phoenix is ​​not a phoenix tree, and Gongda has a peerless talent. He should cherish it and don't let the time go to waste."

Xun You arched his hands and gave a salute. "Thank you sir for your support."

Jia Xu bowed his hands to return the salute, and walked forward slowly.

Xun You followed, half a step behind.

Neither of them spoke, yet they seemed to have said everything.

-

After Liu Xie washed up, he sat back in front of the case again.

Talking with Jia Xu and Xun You took some time, and he still has a lot of official documents to deal with.
