After the meeting, Jia Xu found an opportunity to make some suggestions to Liu Bei privately, asking Liu Bei to pay more attention to his distance from the people.
"Although the Shi people are good at fighting, they are outsiders after all. Although the Shu people have not had much contact with you, they are Han people after all. You should think more about how to treat the Han people and the Shi people separately. If you are too close to the Shi people,
Not very good either.”
Liu Bei admired Jia Xu's sensitivity very much, and at the same time felt that what Jia Xu said was reasonable.
"What Wen He said makes sense, I will pay attention to it, but at the moment I do not have the power to recruit subordinate officials in Shu. Although I can win over Shu people by recruiting Shu people to go to the state school, after all, I cannot directly recruit subordinate officials.
, this is not conducive to establishing contact between me and the Shu people, does Wen He have any good ideas?"
Jia Xu thought for a while and came up with a solution that was not a solution.
"If you want to appoint subordinate officials in Shu, unless you are the governor of Yizhou or the shepherd of Yizhou, you have the only way to open a government. However, as a rule of this dynasty, only the three princes and generals have the right to open a government. Although you
He is already a hussar general, second only to the general, but if he wants to open a palace, he may still lack some skills.
The power to open a government is very important. Even if the emperor relies on it, I am afraid he will not easily give this power to you. However, at the moment, you have the power to supervise the military affairs of Liangyi and Liangzhou. You can open a military government as a hussar general and in the name of a military government.
Recruiting subordinates in Yizhou may be an alternative strategy."
"The military government..."
Liu Bei lowered his head and walked slowly, thinking as he walked.
There was a precedent for opening a military mansion during the Warring States Period, when it was called a shogunate.
When a general goes to war, anyone who makes suggestions or solves logistical problems for the general can enter the general's military mansion and serve as his staff.
This kind of military government is generally established when a war begins and ends automatically when the war ends. The subordinate officials do not have a formal status. They are personal subordinates of the general. They have no official status and no relationship such as old officials. It is relatively casual.
Having said that, it is still a relationship, an interesting cooperation, and for some people with low status, it may not be an opportunity.
What's more, the target is a real big boss like Liu Bei. Even if he doesn't have a formal status, there will be many people who want to join.
Therefore, Jia Xu’s suggestion is quite meaningful.
Liu Bei thought for a while and decided to adopt Jia Xu's suggestion.
According to Liu Hong's order, even if the war is over, Liu Bei still needs to garrison troops in Yizhou and take charge of Yizhou's military to prevent another rebellion. In this case, he opened a military mansion as a hussar general and in the name of a military mansion.
Recruiting talented people to help him manage military affairs is a very reasonable thing.
I just don’t know if the talented people in Yizhou are willing to become Liu Bei’s staff in an informal capacity, just for Liu Bei’s personal favor and some future possibilities.
Regarding the matter of opening the military mansion, Liu Bei kept a relatively low profile and was not in a hurry, because there were currently a lot of things to do.
Recruiting troops in Bajun is one thing, building an army from scratch is another, and finding time to take in concubines is another.
Of course, the ones that need the most explanation are Han Ning and Han Xiaodie.
After the battle, the news of the concubinage came back before the people returned. It was expected that the impact on the two girls would not be small, so Liu Bei wrote a good letter to the two of them, explaining to them what he had done.
I hope they don't mind the ins and outs of taking concubines.
Although for Liu Bei this is concubinage, the etiquette does not need to be so grand, it just needs to be passable.
But the Jin people and the Gong family treated this matter as if they were marrying off their daughter to a virtuous son-in-law. They made it very grand and lively, with all seven families involved, investing a lot of money, and making a big deal out of it.
When Liu Bei married the girl, everyone felt honored. It was also because he took into account the people's views, so Liu Bei made concessions and followed the etiquette regulations completely according to their side.
Later, after the two girls returned to Liangzhou with Liu Bei, they would have another round according to Han etiquette to determine the status of Han Ning's main wife, and teach them Han etiquette for them to learn.
On the day of the event, Liu Bei put on his wedding attire, followed their rules in the lively celebration procession, and completed the whole process, which gave Gong Zu enough face and made him very happy.
After finally waiting until the ceremony was over, the exhausted Liu Bei was coaxed by everyone and "sent into the bridal chamber". In the "bridal chamber", two young, enthusiastic and generous girls had been waiting for Liu Bei for a long time.
Gong Qin and Gong Ling, these are the names of two girls. They sound very nice and beautiful.
According to Gong Zu, he spent a lot of money to ask Han people from Ba County to name his sons and daughters, hoping that their names would sound cultural and charming, so that they would not be laughed at in the future.
Now it seems that his wish has come true. The names of these two girls are very nice.
Then Gong Zu also asked Han scholars to educate the two girls to read some Han books from an early age. He never stopped educating them for more than ten years, hoping to train them to be ladies of the Han people, or at least to become knowledgeable people.
But now it seems that it is completely off track.
Not only did she not become a lady, but she directly became a general.
Just like when Liu Bei, Han Ning, and Han Xiaodie got married, it was Liu Bei who took the initiative. Although Han Ning and Han Xiaodie look like generals now, they were still rookies on the battlefield and were beaten by Liu Bei.
level.
As a result, when it came to Gong Qin and Gong Ling's side, they were the two new recruits who took the initiative, while Liu Bei, the veteran general, became the passive party.
Not only did they take the initiative, they also told Liu Bei very enthusiastically how they studied. Their enthusiasm for learning was very high. They were definitely two good students who were eager to learn. In Liu Bei's time, they could have been teachers and caring little cotton-padded jackets.
He is twenty-seven years old this year, and he is in his healthiest and strongest years. No matter how he looks, he doesn't look like he will be at a disadvantage in this regard. If he can't regain his face, wouldn't he be embarrassed?
So he decided to work harder and be more energetic, so that these two little girls could know what it meant to be ginger or old.
As for the results...
unimportant.
One night passed, under the warm and friendly gaze of many Taoists, Liu Bei took the two girls away from the Taoist settlement in a wedding car and brought them to their current residence in Danqu County. While dealing with the matter of recruiting troops, he talked with the two girls.
get along.
Needless to say, Liu Bei thought it would be more difficult for him to have two enthusiastic and energetic girls around him. He felt that this would affect the speed at which he drew his sword and divert his energy from dealing with affairs.
It will be more difficult.
He was prepared to face some not-so-good changes brought about by this change.
But that is not the case.
Liu Bei was surprised to find that although these two energetic girls were always chirping in his ears and being dragged around by them whenever he had some free time, he surprisingly did not feel very tired.
On the contrary, his energy has improved, his mood has improved, and his attitude has become more positive. When handling official duties, he is faster and his thinking is more agile.
Even Jia Xu and Xun You, who always stayed with him to handle government affairs, noticed this.
"Since taking this concubine, you seem to be more energetic. This is a happy event."
"So there are benefits to having concubines? Then Wenhe, should you consider taking concubines again?"
"Hahaha, Gongda is joking. I am getting older, but Gongda is still young. Gongda can think more about it."
"No, no, I still focus on handling official affairs. It is my responsibility to share the difficulties for the princes. I will not consider other things for the time being."
"Hehehehe..."
"Ha ha ha ha ha……"
The two people still started to be irritating with each other from time to time, and they always felt that they couldn't get along, but they did start to call each other by their cousins again, and they even cooperated with each other on official matters, which was strange.
Putting this matter aside, Liu Bei did feel that his spirit was better, and happiness would occasionally dominate his mood.
It seems that being in a state of progress for a long time and thinking about long-term things all day long will also make people feel exhausted and depressed.
There are always times when you should put aside some unnecessary assumptions, let go of yourself, and simply do something happy.
Perhaps, this will not delay the real work process.
From this point of view, these two young and energetic girls are indeed Liu Bei's energy supplement in another sense. Their existence injects a happy factor into Liu Bei.
When Liu Bei is happy, his work efficiency improves. When his work efficiency improves, things get done faster.
From the beginning of September to the end of September in the fifth year of Zhongping, Liu Bei completed a recruitment plan for seven battalions and 21,000 men in a full month.
