Chapter 3. Controlling the Four Counties, Personnel Arrangement (Part 1)
(Thanks to the book friend "jarmuechu" for the 100 starting coin reward. To be honest, I feel very upset now, but everything was brought on by myself. I can't blame anyone. I just have to reap the consequences. Please forgive me for complaining, and then I will make an example. I beg you to subscribe, even if I ask, it will be in vain...)
April of the second year of Chuping in the Han Dynasty.
The spring breeze filled the entire Bingzhou and the entire Wuyuan County. At this good time, Lu Bu also summoned Ziji's civil and military ministers who were currently in Jiuyuan City and came to Ziji's house to discuss matters. ""Please search for Piaotian Literature, novels Better updates and faster! .
"I don't know why my lord summoned us here this time?"
"That's not easy. The war is over. The general came to us naturally to reward us based on our merits..."
"But if rewards are based on merit, why are all the officials from Wuyuan here?"
"I'm sorry, but from what I understand, these people are all people who had a good relationship with Marquis Wen when he was in Bingzhou, and they came here automatically and were not summoned by Marquis Wen."
"No matter what, it is necessary to reward according to merit, but I don't know how Wen Hou will arrange it specifically?"
"This is not easy. We will find out later when Marquis Wen comes..."
"Hey, aren't there two military advisors over there? We don't know. They must know something about it. Why don't we go and find out more about it?"
…
The ministers gathered together, and seeing that Lu Bu's people had not arrived yet, everyone began to talk about it.
Everyone was speculating on Lu Bu's purpose of calling everyone here this time, and the topic gradually turned to discussing merit and rewards, and what position and status they would have under Lu Bu. None of you here are stupid, it's true. They had an idea, but they didn't know Lu Bu's specific arrangements, so they were still a little uneasy, even though they often acted nonchalantly when chatting with their colleagues.
Even Jia Xu and Chen Gong, who were considered to have the inside story, seemed very tight-lipped when surrounded by everyone, but they were smiling bitterly in their hearts, because they were not sure how Lu Bu would arrange it. They didn't know what to do. Replying to them doesn't mean to pick on Ziji.
At this moment, a voice finally came from outside the lobby: "Marquis Wen is here..."
Different from when he was still in Luoyang, Lu Bu never paid attention to ostentation when discussing matters in the shihou, but his identity had not changed at that time. The occasions were also different. There had never been so many people attending the shihou at that time. It's just Jia Xu and some military generals. This time, in addition to Lu Bu's civil servants and military generals, bureaucrats at all levels from Jiuyuan County and even Wuyuan County nénggou also came over, except for some of them. Lu Bu was barely an old acquaintance, and the others didn't even have the qualifications to enter Marquis Wen's mansion, let alone participate in discussions.
Those who were allowed to enter were naturally honored, but when they saw that the people in front of Ziji and others were those brought by Lu Bu from outside, they felt uncomfortable and there was nothing they could do. They had no qualifications to offer opinions.
With that announcement, Lu Bu dressed in white and walked in elegantly from outside the main entrance of the lobby. All the people who came along stood up and saluted him, and they all looked excited. Especially those who were originally queued at the back.
The people were the first to see Lu Bu. They passed by Lu Bu without stopping, but Zuoyou only paid attention and smiled a few times, which made them very satisfied.
Until we get to the main seat belonging to Ziji, please take your seats. This time, we are here to discuss business, but it is also a banquet. Everyone has a table belonging to Ziji, with a wine urn and a wine cauldron on the table.
The chopsticks and some dishes had already been laid out, but until Lu Bu arrived, no one dared to speak.
The biggest feature of the lobby of Wenhou Mansion is not that it is big, but that it is long. It extends from the main seat where Lu Bu sits to the lower row. The upper and lower rows each accommodate nearly twenty desks, and they are between each other.
The distance between the gaps was not small, which clearly showed how long the arrangement was. When Lu Bu looked down, he saw that there were two rows of people in the lobby, and they were full of talented people.
Seeing this, Lu Bu was also very happy. Anyone who knew something about the Three Kingdoms in future generations would have a bit of a collecting habit when they came to this place. The only pity and lamentation was that for him now, among them
Some people really hǎoxiàng
It has become a collection, with no practical value at all. It’s not that these people are incompetent. Lu Bu estimates that the counselors he has now are probably the most complete and top-notch lineup. Unfortunately, the real nénggou among them is him.
It's only half effective.
But even with this, he should be satisfied, and even have some worries about happiness, because these people are not easy to arrange. Logically speaking, they should be rewarded based on their merits. However, some people have great abilities, but they have not yet been demonstrated. If they are ignored, it will be wrong.
No, people like Cang Ci, Lu Cui and Bailidu are currently
Until now, they had not made any merits. Even if they had merits in governing the difāng, Jia Xu, Chen Gong, and even Na Liangle and others' military exploits were hard to compare. Rongyi had been ignored, but there was no arrangement for them.
.
As Jia Xu said, the reward after war is actually more tiring than fighting a large-scale war, because it is also about controlling the overall situation, and if it is not handled well, it will leave hidden dangers, which will bring negative consequences in the future.
Of course Lu Bu didn't want that, so he was worried and irritable these days.
Fortunately, after several days of practicing calligraphy and meditating, as well as the four ladies Yan, Jian Hua, Diao Chan and Gan taking turns serving him in the past few days, some of his negative emotions were cleared up in a half-release and half-venting process.
Only now can we face this problem more calmly.
Speaking of which, Lu Bu still feels a little bit dumbfounded, but more importantly, he is moved. Yan, who realizes that there is no way to help Lu Bu in other ways, besides taking better care of Xiao Qiling, Lu Bu's only descendant, wants to use
Inspiring the other three girls to join her
I have to say that the effect of serving Lu Bu is not bad. At least Lu Bu often wakes up early in the morning feeling refreshed, and his mood is much better throughout the day. Many headaches seem to be gone.
The shackles are gradually being lifted and there are signs of thinking.
Now that the basic policy has been set, he can feel relieved. This time he called everyone here not so much to discuss the matter, but actually to announce it before the announcement, and to solicit their opinions at the same time. If there is any temporary objection, it needs to be changed.
It's still too late, and of course it's not too outrageous. It can only be satisfied within the scope of principles, otherwise Lu Bu's authority as the lord will be gone.
"Ahem..." Lu Bu coughed lightly. The already quiet lobby was now so quiet that you could hear a needle drop. Everyone present seemed to be tensing up, and the Wuyuan local officials at the back were even more nervous.
Although he was nervous, Lu Bu said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, everyone. I've called you here and have a banquet first. Wait until you're full and full, and then we'll discuss things. Otherwise, you won't know how to scold me again."
"How could it be?"
"Yes, Marquis Wen said..."
Everyone hurriedly defended themselves, but Lu Bu waved his hands, and the place suddenly became quiet again. He laughed loudly, and then shouted angrily: "The banquet is about to begin, everyone can help themselves. We will go over one by one to propose a toast later.
