Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Chapter 301: Money and Food, Mutual Refusals

Yuzhou, Pingyu.

Liu Yu looked at the mountain of government affairs and felt a little confused.

Since he pacified Yuzhou, government affairs from all over Yuzhou have been delivered to his hands like raindrops.

After only two days, Liu Yu felt sore in his back and waist and felt uncomfortable all over.

Compared with handling these government affairs, he is better at shouting slogans and predicting general trends.

Slogans are all empty and false, so there is no need to worry about any mistakes.

When it comes to predicting the general trend, Liu Yu has a natural advantage thanks to his memories from his previous life.

To appease the refugees and to cultivate land and support the army were the two slogans that Liu Yugang shouted.

It's easy to shout slogans, but how to pacify the refugees, establish farmland and support the army is a big question in practice.

Only by handling these details well can you achieve success.

These two things are the policies that Liu Yu has always been promoting, and they are not complicated to implement.

He called Zhang Xiu and asked him to take charge of this matter.

When he was in Chang'an, he had done military farming and raised troops, so he would be familiar with doing the same thing now.

When it comes to major policies and guidelines, Liu Yu can still barely cope with them.

However, the tediousness of government affairs processing made Liu Yu collapse to the ground.

He called all the civil and military officials to his side, and as he looked at the mountain of documents, a smile appeared on his face.

"Fengxiao, I'll leave the amount of money and grain in Yingchuan County to you, okay?"

Guo Jia drank a glass of wine and looked at Liu Yu with a dazed look.

"My lord, I am not good at handling money and food. Please find someone else."

After saying that, he continued drinking.

Liu Yu glanced at the people around him and his eyes stopped on Zhao Yun.

"Zilong, you are a rare talent with both literary and military skills. I will leave the money and grain matters to you."

Zhao Yun smiled bitterly.

"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to do my best to take care of the money and grain. It's just that these are really not my strengths. If I take on this task, I'm afraid it will delay Uncle's important plans."

Liu Yu was somewhat helpless and glanced at Zhang Fei.

"Yide, I heard that you ran a business in Zhuo County. I think you are proficient in mathematics. I think you are the most suitable person for this grain matter."

Zhang Fei looked at the pile of documents, shaking his head like a bell in the wind.

"Uncle, these are all rumors. You must not believe them! By the way, I just remembered that I still have to train the troops. If you have nothing else to do, I will leave first." After saying that, he looked at Zhao Yun and blinked. He looked as funny as it could be.

Zhao Yun was not a fool, so he naturally understood what Zhang Fei meant.

"Uncle, I am the same as Yide, we have to go to train the troops."

Seeing that Liu Yu did not say anything to stop them, the two men hurriedly bowed to Liu Yu, turned around and walked out quickly.

When Ma Chao saw Liu Yu's gaze turning towards him, he realized that his reaction just now was a little slow, otherwise he would have followed Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei out.

Ma Chao smiled awkwardly and said, "My lord, I have no problem charging into battle and capturing cities, but I really don't understand the matter of money and food. If there is nothing else, I will withdraw."

Liu Yu was helpless and could only smile awkwardly. He knew that what Ma Chao said was indeed the truth. These things were indeed not his forte. He was also at his wit's end and had to seek help from all possible means.

Liu Yu picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and then looked at Xu Chu standing in front of him like a sculpture.

Liu Yu seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Zhongkang, do you want to give it a try regarding the money and grain?"

"Do not want to."

"This is an opportunity for training. Don't you want to improve your abilities?" Liu Yu's tone was gentle and smiling, just like the leaders in later generations who painted rosy pictures for themselves.

"I don't want to." Xu Chu answered without any hesitation.

Liu Yu was somewhat helpless. In today's chaotic world, workers all refused to participate in involution. They would not do anything that was not their business.

Does this mean that the working environment today is better than in the future?

Guo Jia looked at the scene in front of him and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.

In Liu Yu's eyes, this smile looked like that of a wolf with bad intentions.

"Feng Xiao, money and grain are related to the stability of Yuzhou. I have looked for a long time and I think only someone like Feng Xiao, who is extremely talented and rare in the world, can be competent for this job."

Guo Jia drank another glass of wine, then smiled and said, "You are a brilliant talent, rare in the world, I don't dare to be called such a genius. If Xun Wen was here, he might be able to take on this title."

When Liu Yu heard Xun Yu's name, he instantly became alert.

In this era, when it comes to handling government affairs, there are no more than three people who can surpass Xun Yu.

When Cao Cao got Xun Yu, he happily said that he was my Zi Fang.

Judging from a series of performances later, he played more of the role of Xiao He.

Every time Cao Cao went on an expedition, he would leave him in Dafang to stabilize the situation and handle government affairs.

"Feng Xiao and Wen Ruo are good friends. I know he has always had the ambition to support the Han people. Does Feng Xiao have any way to invite him here?"

Liu Yu secretly thought that if he could get a talent like Xun Yu, all the problems in government affairs would be easily solved.

Guo Jia smiled and shook his head, saying, "I know Wen Ruo very well. Since he has already followed Cao Mengde, it is impossible to get him to change his allegiance in a short period of time."

Although Liu Yu knew this outcome, he still felt a little lonely when he heard Guo Jia's answer.

"What a shame, what a shame. Xun Wenruo is very intelligent and most importantly, he is very capable in government affairs. Such talents are exactly what we lack the most right now."

After Yuzhou fell into Liu Yu's hands, Liu Yu increasingly felt that he lacked talents who could take charge of the overall government affairs.

If it comes to strategy, he has Guo Jia, Xu Shu and Jia Xu under his command. These people are rare talents in this era. The team of wisdom formed by these people is enough to match any prince of this era.

The same is true for the lineup of military generals. A lineup of generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, Xu Chu, Ma Chao, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, and Xu Huang can be considered luxurious in this era.

When it comes to talented people in handling government affairs, Liu Yu can only think of two people: Liu Bei and Man Chong.

Although Liu Bei's ability in government administration was not first-rate, his ability in the second tier was absolutely unmatched.

Man Chong's situation is similar to Liu Bei's. He has the ability to handle government affairs, but what he cares about and is most passionate about is the law.

As long as the laws can be effectively implemented, he will not consider the so-called government affairs at all.

Because this is his interest and also what he pursues in his heart.

Looking at Liu Yu's anxious expression, Guo Jia smiled even more happily.

He took a few more sips of wine, and then slowly said, "My lord, although Xun Wenruo will not come, there is a candidate right now. This person may not be as strategic as Xun Wenruo, but I think this person should be able to compete with him in terms of government affairs."

"Fengxiao, who is this person? Tell me quickly."
