Chapter 273 Liu Da'er's appointment as Xinye Ling, thunder and rain, all are your kindness!
Liu Bei has been living a really good life these days.
Since the name "Uncle Liu Huang" came out, Guo Jia has secretly helped him with some operations.
For a time, people came to meet him one after another, and there were even many wealthy people from aristocratic families that he had never come into contact with before. This always made Liu Bei feel like he was living in a dream.
"Uncle Liu Huang's future is bound to be limitless."
"Where! I'm just doing my little bit for the imperial court."
"..."
"Uncle Liu Huang, wait a minute. Just send him here. I'll take my leave."
Looking at the visitors leaving in the carriage, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief and turned back immediately.
Zhang Fei on the side had a smile on his face: "Brother, even the Bingzhou Wang family has come to visit us. We are really different now. We never dared to think that we could make friends with the Bingzhou Wang family."
"yes."
Liu Bei nodded in agreement.
However, there was no excitement on his face. Instead, there was a touch of indifferent disgust: "Just a name can make the well-known Bingzhou Wang family take the initiative to come and make friends."
"snort!"
Liu Bei snorted softly.
He suddenly felt that his wandering life in the first half of his life was so ridiculous.
With your own efforts and continuous struggle, it will be nothing but ups and downs in the end, but with just a name, you can go smoothly, and make the world's famous families take the initiative to make friends, and treat everyone with respect.
Of course he knows!
This is definitely not due to his own ability, but due to the title "Uncle" given by His Majesty Nanyang Hanting.
In just two days, my situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Guan Yu, who was walking towards him, noticed something strange in Liu Bei's expression.
"nothing."
Liu Bei waved his hand and sighed: "I just feel that this world is not what I imagined. Whether it is Chang'an or Nanyang, the aristocratic family is a force that cannot be ignored."
"yes."
Guan Yu nodded with deep understanding: "Chang'an Hanting has just returned to itself. After four hundred years of development, it has been controlled by aristocratic families. But Nanyang Hanting is a new kid after all. How can there be such a diligent family?"
Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door:
"Is Uncle Liu Huang here?"
"Your Majesty has a decree to summon the emperor's uncle to the palace."
Squeak—!
The door opens.
Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, bowed and held his hands in his arms: "I am Liu Bei."
He Yun naturally recognized Liu Bei: "Well, please come with me."
Liu Bei cupped his hands and said, "Here."
Immediately.
The two of them left the bus station, took a carriage, and went straight to the emperor's palace.
On the way, Liu Bei asked tentatively: "But your Majesty has plans for us?"
He Yun shook his head: "I am no longer a guard in the palace, how can I know your Majesty's holy will? I will know it when my uncle is gone."
Liu Bei did not dare to ask any more questions, so he could only say "Okay", immediately lowered the car curtain and waited quietly.
Not long after, the carriage arrived outside the palace.
Liu Bei got off the carriage, followed He Yun all the way into the palace, and went straight to the Hall of Wende.
At this moment, in the Wende Hall.
Liu Biangao sat up, holding a book in his hand, reading it while communicating with the Military Advisor Alliance: "Teacher, judging from the news reported by Guo Jia before, Liu Bei's reputation has indeed increased recently."
"The Yingchuan Chen family, the Runan Yuan family, the Bingzhou Wang family, and even the Feng family, the Deng family, and the Yin family from Nanyang all sent people to have more or less contact with Liu Bei."
"teacher......"
Liu Bian frowned slightly and asked tentatively: "Do you think this will make Liu Bei develop a kind of arrogance, or some other ideas?"
"What should I say?"
Liu Bian felt that he couldn't describe that feeling, so he could only give an example: "It's like a poor guy who suddenly won a five million grand prize one day. He felt instantly superior to others, light and inhumane."
The Military Advisor Alliance chuckled: "Don't worry, Mr. Bian, Liu Bei is also the Han Zhaolie Emperor in history. How can he control himself so easily?"
"Although it is true that there are many aristocratic families clinging to Liu Bei, it has not been long after all, and judging from Liu Bei's current performance, he has not reached the level of being careless and not recognizing himself."
"What's more!"
The Military Advisor Alliance emphasized: "He will be here soon. As long as Mr. Bian explains the matter clearly to him, he will naturally understand Mr. Bian's good intentions."
"Although Liu Bei is a member of the Han clan, he also came from a poor background. He is a middle-aged man who has worked his way up step by step. From the time he started the army to the present, he has gone through so many ups and downs, which cannot be resolved in a day or two."
Three feet of ice cannot be frozen in one day.
Liu Bian naturally understood this truth.
only......
He was still a little worried.
The poorer a person comes from, the more likely they are to be infected by sugar-coated bullets from aristocratic families.
This kind of soft knife is definitely not something ordinary people can bear.
"Report—!"
At this moment, a long announcement sounded outside the hall.
Liu Bian raised his eyes and looked.
But then, Zhu Tong pushed the door open and walked in. He bowed and raised his hands: "Your Majesty, Liu Bei has arrived and is waiting outside the palace."
Liu Bian took a long breath, waved his hand and ordered: "Let him come in."
Zhu Tong cupped his hands: "Here."
Immediately.
Bowed and exited the hall.
Not long after, Liu Bei entered the palace and stepped forward: "Liu Bei, a common man, comes to see your majesty."
Liu Bian waved his hand: "Get up."
Liu Bei then straightened up and said, "I wonder what your Majesty is calling Bei here for?"
Liu Bian did not hand over the task of Xinye County Magistrate directly to Liu Bei. Instead, he waved his hand and motioned for him to sit aside for a while, and then asked about the recent situation:
"Uncle, how are you doing lately?"
Liu Bei hurriedly bowed his head: "To be honest, I'm a little scared."
"oh?"
Liu Bian suddenly became interested: "Why are you so scared?"
Liu Bei did not hide anything: "His Majesty's words of 'uncle emperor' have spread throughout Wancheng. Recently, many nobles have taken the initiative to come to make friends. This is something Bei never dared to imagine before."
Of course, Liu Bian already knew this, and he immediately poked his heart into his heart: "What do you think, uncle Huang, of these aristocratic families?"
Liu Bei's throat rolled, but he became more and more frightened.
He always felt that the young and promising emperor in front of him had something in his words, but Liu Bei could not figure it out.
As a last resort...
He could only choose to answer honestly, which was better than making wild guesses: "Your Majesty should know that since the Yellow Turbans, he has been wandering all the way from Anxi County Lieutenant, to Mi Cheng, to Gaotang County Lieutenant and County Magistrate.
, suffered a severe blow.”
"Actually, I came to Nanyang this time just to find some opportunities and do my little bit to help the Han Dynasty. But I never thought that what I had encountered in the past few days was really terrifying."
really!
Liu Bei's mentality changed.
However, as expected by the Military Advisor Alliance, it is just a bud and is still within control.
Liu Bian spoke in a long tone and said seductively: "Uncle Emperor, do you know why I want to establish a new dynasty in Nanyang instead of taking advantage of the victory to pursue the victory, enter the Guanzhong, annihilate Dong Zhuo, and then return to the palace?"
"this......"
Liu Bei shook his head and said softly: "Bei doesn't know, please give me some advice."
Liu Bian stared at Liu Bei with bright eyes and said with great solemnity: "Because Chang'an Hanting has long become a plaything in the hands of the wealthy families. Even if I take it over, it will be difficult for the Han Dynasty to truly feel pain and change."
"Ah, this..."
Liu Bian's remarks really shocked Liu Bei.
He really didn't expect it.
The reason why His Majesty established a new dynasty in Nanyang today is actually because of the wealthy family!
Liu Bian took a deep breath and taught Liu Bei bit by bit: "The world only knows that the disasters of the Han Dynasty are caused by foreign relatives and eunuchs fighting among themselves. Little do they know that they are just an extension of the imperial power and are still within the controllable range. They are actually scabies."
Diseases are nothing to be afraid of."
"The real disaster of the Han Dynasty is the disaster of the aristocratic families that have been prosperous for hundreds of years, especially the aristocratic family headed by the Yuan family of Runan. Their disciples and former officials are all over the world, and they have reached the point where they can threaten the imperial power."
"Uncle Emperor!"
Liu Bian took a long breath, with a hint of sadness in his voice: "My words can make you surrounded by aristocratic families, bear their sweet words, and eventually be eroded by them little by little."
"But what about me?"
Liu Bian waved his hand and said loudly: "The Nanyang New Dynasty has just been established, and all the major aristocratic families have already reached out and want to get involved. How terrified should I be?"
Liu Bei hurriedly raised his hands and said with a leisurely expression: "Your Majesty—!"
Liu Bian waved his hand and continued: "You and I both have the blood of the Great Ancestor, so we naturally shoulder the responsibility of supporting the Han Dynasty. Although I am not talented, I hope to do my best to help the Han Dynasty eliminate pain and create new things, so that the Han Dynasty can truly be proud of the world."
"I wonder if your uncle would be willing to help me?"
Liu Bei hurriedly stood up and left his seat, turned into the palace, and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty has lofty ambitions, and I sincerely obey you. If you are asked to do anything, I will do my best, go through fire and water, and do whatever it takes."
"Uncle, please sit down."
Liu Bian waved his hand and motioned for him to take a seat, and said softly: "I do have an important position, and it must be someone who sincerely cares for the great man. After thinking about it, it can only be you, the emperor's uncle."
Liu Bei was so excited that he clasped his hands and said, "I must do my best to live up to His Majesty's high expectations."
At the moment, Liu Bian no longer hesitated and went straight to the topic: "Farming is now my national affairs. It is related to whether Nanyang Hanting can truly be independent and get rid of its dependence on aristocratic families. Therefore, I attach great importance to it."
"Except for Wancheng, the most important place for farming in Nanyang is Xinye County. The Deng family, the Yin family, and the Lai family are entrenched here, occupying seven-tenths of the county's land."
"Even though the imperial court took back the land of the Confucius family, some wasteland, and issued a farming progress management plan, Xinye County Magistrate Cheng Wei colluded with the family to delay farming and misunderstand my farming plan. It is really an unforgivable crime.
"
Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this: "Is this actually happening?"
Liu Bian took out the memorial delivered by Yu Fan from the upper right corner of the Dragon Eucalyptus: "Uncle Emperor, take a look for yourself."
Liu Bei took the memorial, his eyes rolled up and down, and his face turned green with fear: "You actually dare to use weapons rashly to murder the inspection team? Is Xinye Ling crazy?"
Liu Bian was unusually calm: "The aristocratic family has always been pervasive, harming the public and enriching private interests. Xin Yeling thought that my farming production responsibility letter was just a joke, but he didn't know that my determination is higher than the sky and thicker than the earth. He can never stop it.
.”
"but......"
Liu Bian made a dramatic turn and pulled him back: "Xinye Ling's incident has reminded me that anyone who is not someone who can truly think about the Han Dynasty should not be able to hold a big position."
"Although Xinye is only one county, it is the vanguard of my farming strategy. When it comes to taking action against the Deng family and the Yin family in the future, it must be done by someone with great wisdom and courage!"
"I've been thinking about it..."
call-
With a long sigh, Liu Bian stared at Liu Bei with piercing eyes: "The emperor's uncle has several years of grassroots work experience, and has the experience of fighting enemies with troops. He is also a member of the Han Dynasty, and he is dedicated to supporting the Han Dynasty."
"No one but the emperor's uncle can hold the post of new field commander."
"Don't worry."
Subconsciously, Liu Bian was afraid that Liu Bei would refuse, so he quickly drew a big cake and said: "When my farming plan is completely completed, the emperor will definitely have another important use. I will not let you down."
Liu Bei hurriedly handed over his hand and said: "How could Bei not know about your majesty's good intentions? Although there are different levels of official positions, they are all loyal to the imperial court. Bei will never complain."
"Your Majesty, don't worry."
At that moment, Liu Bei stood up again, walked into the palace, knelt down on one knee, and said sonorously: "Bei is willing to be the pioneer of Your Majesty's agricultural strategy, and will go through fire and water, and overcome thorns and thorns!"
Liu Bian was in a great mood and could not help but nod his head: "Okay! I really did not misjudge you. In that case, the emperor will go to take office today. Let your hands and feet go. I will be your strongest backing."
Liu Bei handed over his hand and said, "I will definitely live up to your majesty's high expectations."
Immediately.
He bowed and left the hall backwards.
Just as the palace door was closed, the voice of the Military Advisor Alliance rang out: "Don't worry, Master Bian. Judging from the information given by psychology experts and micro-expression experts, Liu Bei should be expressing his true feelings."
call-
Liu Bian let out a long breath: "I feel the same way! Although Liu Bei named his son Fengchan in history, the Liu Bei at that time was completely different from the Liu Bei at this time."
"As experts say, people's ambitions will vary with their life experiences. At this time, Liu Bei has not yet reached that level of ambition. He can completely shape Liu Bei just like he shaped Cao Cao."
The Military Advisor Alliance was very satisfied with Liu Bian's answer: "Master Bian has really grown up and is developing into a real emperor. Experts believe that it will get better and better in the future. The Han Dynasty we create will definitely be the strongest dynasty in China."
"kindness."
Liu Bian nodded: "It must be so!"
The Alliance of Military Advisors said softly: "Master Bian, after finishing Liu Bei's matter, we should go and take a look at the progress of papermaking and movable type printing, and strive to overcome all its technical barriers within the year."
If you want to implement the imperial examination, you must popularize education.
To advance universal education, we must reduce the cost of education.
Papermaking and movable type printing are the hardware for popularizing education. Without overcoming these two technical difficulties, popularizing education will be difficult to achieve.
Liu Bien nodded: "Just in time, I also want to see what papermaking looks like using the ancient method."
The Military Advisor Alliance echoed: "It should be shocking."
"I've seen it on video before, and it's really shocking."
"The factory building designed by experts is more elegant than that one."
"Oh? Then I want to broaden my horizons."
"..."
Let us say that Liu Bei left the palace and returned to the bus station all the way.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Jian Yong were already waiting at the door.
The moment Liu Bei stepped into the bus station door, three people came up to him:
"Brother, how is the situation?"
"What position has His Majesty given me?"
Liu Bei didn't know that everyone was looking forward to it, especially Zhang Fei, who was almost too excited these days.
If you told them it was just a new wild order, they would be mad.
As a last resort.
Liu Bei could only take a precaution first: "No matter how big or small the official position is, everyone is loyal to His Majesty. Is it possible that we have to leave Nanyang just because the official position is small?"
Guan Yu stroked his long beard with his hands, took a deep breath and said: "The thunder and rain are all your kindness. Besides, Your Majesty treats my elder brother very well. No matter what the result is, we brothers will accept it calmly."
"That's right!"
Jian Yong on the side also echoed: "Whether he is a general or a soldier, even if he is just a county magistrate, I believe that your majesty must have good intentions, otherwise why wait so long?"
"We are ministers. Since we are loyal to Nanyang Hanting, no matter what your majesty decides, how can we dislike it? Lord, just speak out and there is no need to worry."
Zhang Fei'en nodded: "Yes, brother, as long as we brothers can still be together, even if we are facing mountains of swords and seas of fire, what do we have to fear?"
Liu Bei took a deep breath and felt relieved when he saw everyone in such a state: "Your Majesty asked me to go to Xinye as the county magistrate and serve as the pioneer of the agricultural strategy."
"ah?"
Zhang Fei was stunned: "Is he really the county magistrate?"
Liu Bei nodded affirmatively: "Yes! He is the county magistrate, but Xinye County is by no means Gaotang. Your Majesty has placed high hopes on me, and has entrusted the important task of farming to me. How can I, Liu Bei, live up to your Majesty's high hopes?"
"
Zhang Fei didn't know what the emperor meant, so he looked puzzled: "You're just a county magistrate, and you still have high hopes?"
Guan Yu interrupted directly: "Yide, don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty's move must have deep meaning, otherwise why is it not another county? This Xinye County is a large county in Nanyang and must not be underestimated."
"That's right."
Liu Bei nodded affirmatively: "The new field commander Cheng Wei colluded with the family and delayed the farming plan. He has been dismissed by the inspection team on the spot. Now the new field is in urgent need of the county magistrate to restore order. In view of the situation in the new field, your majesty ordered me to serve as the new field commander."
"Pack your things quickly."
Liu Bei didn't waste any time and directly ordered: "Strive to arrive in Xinye before noon, fully take over the farming and government affairs, and restore the farming order in Xinye in a short time."
Jian Yong said softly: "I have already packed it as a gift, so I will go upstairs to get it."
Guan Yu nodded: "I'll go to the inner courtyard to get the horse."
After the two left, Liu Bei patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder: "Yide, don't worry, the new field order is only temporary. As long as we help the court implement farming roughly and smoothly, it will be of great use in the future."
Zhang Fei took a deep breath: "Really?"
Liu Bei nodded: "Your Majesty personally agreed, as little as three years and as much as five years."
Zhang Fei then ignited his fighting spirit: "Anyway, I have already worked in the county for six or seven years. Why worry about doing it for another three years? Your Majesty has spoken so well that he will not deceive me."
Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are brothers, Liu Bei's feelings for Zhang Fei are deeper than those for Guan Yu. After all, it was Zhang Fei who abandoned his family and business and sold his supplies to help him successfully raise an army.
Liu Bei always remembered this kindness and never forgot it.
"Brother, let's go."
"Walk."
******
Xinye, Dengjia.
Octagon Pavilion.
Deng Xun held the cup of tea and took a sip, trying to keep himself calm: "Unexpectedly, Cheng Wei, the commander of Xinye, fell like this. It seems that the imperial court attaches great importance to this farming and cannot allow any mistakes."
The inspection team arrived, but within a day, they dismissed the Xinye County Magistrate on the spot, put him in a prison car, and sent him to Wancheng, where he would probably never be able to recover again in this life.
When the notice announcing the dismissal of the county magistrate was posted, the entire Xinye area was shocked. It was also a big shock to the Deng family, Yin family and other aristocratic families.
They sensed an intriguing aura from this thunderous method.
Deng Tong nodded: "That's right! The imperial court took the lead in attacking Xinye and killed the chicken to scare the monkeys. It is really shocking. If Cheng Wei's side falls, it will definitely be frightening for the other county magistrates in Nanyang."
"As far as I know..."
Deng Tong frowned and thought for a moment: "Except for Wancheng, the entire Nanyang has a mediocre response to this farming edict. Some of them are even worse than Cheng Wei."
The old patriarch Deng Xun twisted his beard and pondered: "Your Majesty is so confident!"
Deng Tong was surprised: "What does the master mean by this?"
Deng Xun said softly: "The results of this exam have come out, but the court has not made arrangements for them. Haven't you seen it yet? His Majesty has decided to completely rectify Nanyang."
"Ah, this..."
Deng Tong looked in disbelief: "Master, you mean... His Majesty would rather replace the county magistrates in Nanyang with inexperienced officials?"
Deng Xun was extremely sure: "From the current point of view, it is indeed possible! But I don't know who the newly appointed new wild order will be? The Zhong family of Yingchuan, the Sima family of Hanoi, or the Yuan family of Chenjun?"
"Since His Majesty is taking action on Xinye, he will naturally send capable people to the post, and they must be his most trusted people so that the situation can be controlled."
"otherwise......"
Deng Tongtai understood the reason: "If something happens, it will be His Majesty's face."
Deng Xun nodded: "That's right! But there is no one you can trust next to Your Majesty? Xun You was the minister, Xixian was the minister's servant, Zaozhi became the captain of the field, and Tang Xiang was the magistrate of Wancheng.
"
"Is it possible..."
Deng Xun guessed: "He will send Tang Mao to Xinye, right?"
Deng Tong was shocked: "Tang Mao? Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Deng Xun also felt it was impossible, but he could no longer think of anyone else: "If it wasn't him, who could it be?"
Deng Tong thought for a long time, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind: "Master, have you forgotten? Uncle Liu Huang has appeared in Wancheng recently? He is quite popular!"
"Uncle Liu Huang?"
"kindness."
"this......"
When Deng Xun was hesitant.
"Report—!"
Outside the Octagonal Pavilion, a long announcement sounded.
Deng Xun turned around and looked.
But seeing his servants rushing over, he leaned over and said, "Master, news has come from the city that the new county magistrate has taken office, and he is Emperor Liu's uncle Liu Bei."
hiss-!
Deng Xun's eyes were as wide as bells, and he gasped: "You are taking office so soon?"
The servant nodded affirmatively: "Well, I have already taken up my post. I heard that he just arrived and took over the farming affairs. He personally led the team, divided the acres, measured the land, and distributed all the farm tools in the warehouse."
"Hey young."
Deng Tong sneered: "I didn't expect that Uncle Liu Huang is really a capable person. He solved the things that Cheng Wei has been unable to implement just after he took office?"
Deng Xun nodded slowly: "With the emperor's favor, it is not surprising that he will resort to thunderous methods. However, Wei was dismissed just yesterday, and the new county magistrate has taken office at noon today."
"Good nephew..."
Deng Xun turned to glance at Deng Tong: "Don't you think it's a little too fast? It's like it was arranged in advance."
