Guoyuan was stationed at the rear of Yuzhou and was responsible for the governance of Yuzhou and the supply of food and grass to the front line. Although Lu Xuan and Zhou Yu led the army to Guanzhong, Guoyuan was still responsible for the supply of part of the food and grass to ensure the operation of the front-line army.
During the war, Guoyuan was very busy, because every day he opened his eyes, he was transporting grain, grass and supplies to the front line.
To transport grain and grass, people must also be recruited.
What seems to be a simple matter actually involves the common people in all aspects, and Guoyuan does not dare to be careless at all.
Now that we are entering late July, the weather is getting hotter.
In addition, the local area is already busy preparing for this year's autumn harvest, which Guoyuan has to arrange in advance.
Everything is very busy.
However, Guoyuan enjoyed it.
At first, he was appointed as the captain of the field army. He mainly worked in Yuzhou and ensured the supply of grain and grass in Yuzhou. Later, Guoyuan was promoted by Zhou Yu and served as Yuzhou's special commander, responsible for assisting Zhou Yu.
Up to now, although he was assisting Zhou Yu, what he was actually doing was serving as governor.
The governor's office is in the Yazhong office.
Guoyuan is busy.
While he was busy, there was a rush of footsteps, and the attendant reported: "We are traveling abroad, and Chen Ci is outside asking for an audience."
Guoyuan looked slightly cold and ordered: "Let him come in."
The attendant went to inform him, and after a while, a young man in his twenties entered.
The young man's name is Chen Ci, who is from Pingyu County, Yingchuan. His grandfather is the former Taifu Chen Fan, and the Chen family was once prosperous. After Chen Fan died of illness, Chen Fan's son Chen Yi once served as the prime minister of Lu.
As the current situation was turbulent, he resigned from office and returned home.
Since then, the Chen family has taken root in Pingyu County.
By Chen Ci's generation, things have long since changed. Fortunately, the Chen family is still a wealthy family in Pingyu County and still has some foundation.
Chen Ci looked very eager and saluted, "Brother-in-law!"
Guoyuan said with a cold face: "I've told you, there are only business matters outside, no private matters."
"Yes Yes!"
Chen Ci chuckled.
After he walked over, he sat down next to Guoyuan and said quickly: "Brother-in-law, what I told you a few days ago is that I was asked to serve as the county magistrate in Shansang County, Runan County. What do you think?"
"You are in charge of the overall situation of Yuzhou. Although you are not in charge, you are actually the governor. Whether I can serve as the county magistrate is a matter of a word from you, brother-in-law."
"Brother-in-law, don't be embarrassed, just agree."
"Sister-in-law has already said that whether I can hold the position depends on your opinion, brother-in-law."
Chen Ci looked expectantly and said, "Brother-in-law, just agree."
Guoyuan said with a cold face: "You look like you, can you serve as the magistrate of Shansang County? You also went to the Five Classics Hall to study and passed the assessment of the Five Classics Hall. The Ministry of Personnel arranged a position for you, but you did not go to the post, but ran away.
I'm coming here."
"According to your assessment, the official department asked you to serve as the local county magistrate, but you are not willing. Then in my case, you can only drop one level to serve as the county captain. Now in Langling County, southwest of Runan County, there are a few
The bandits started a rebellion and the county captain died in battle, so you happened to be the one to take the lead."
"If you can gain a foothold, there will be no problem."
"If you can't gain a foothold, don't think about anything else."
Guoyuan stared at Chen Ci sharply and asked, "This is the opportunity I give you, do you want to go?"
Chen Ci's cheeks twitched and she said helplessly: "Brother-in-law, are you asking me to die?"
Guoyuan said coldly: "What did you say?"
Chen Ci was a little afraid of Guo Yuan from the bottom of his heart, so he said, "Brother-in-law, I, I didn't say anything."
Guoyuan said: "You are a scholar from the Five Classics Hall, a disciple of the emperor, and a disciple of the great king. But you are timid when encountering things, how can you behave like this? Scholars of the Five Classics Hall must face difficulties and rise to the challenge.
You must be ambitious. Look at you now, are you considered a disciple of the King? Are you considered a disciple of the Chen family?"
brush!
Chen Ci's expression changed slightly.
He couldn't stand Guoyuan's prodding, his eyes became serious, and he said: "Brother-in-law, I'm not afraid, I just think that I have the ability to serve as county magistrate. I think I am no worse than other people."
Guoyuan stood up, stared at Chen Ci with burning eyes, and said: "Since you are not afraid, go to Langling County and serve as the county captain. I am your brother-in-law, but I am also the parent official of the people of Yuzhou, and I have to be responsible to the people.
"
"The fact that you can serve as the county captain is the result of my favoritism. The reason why I give you the favoritism is because you have the status of a scholar of the Five Classics Museum."
"If you have the ability, go and prove yourself."
"Instead of thinking about it every day, let me let you go and let you serve as the county magistrate. Can you, who is only about a hundred people in the ranking, compare with Zhuge Liang? Can you compare with Xu Sheng? Can you compare with Bu Zhi?
?"
"Being a county captain is good enough."
In Guoyuan's words, there was suppression of Chen Ci, and he even looked down upon Chen Ci for his superior skills and weak abilities.
He paced back and forth for a while with his hands behind his back, and then continued: "If you feel that you are not inferior to the others in the Five Classics Hall, go and eliminate the bandits, make meritorious deeds, and make real political achievements."
"Just by talking about it, Zhao Kuo is the most incompetent person."
"Whether it is the king or the governor, they have always taught me that I must have the ability to do things and be able to do things in a down-to-earth manner. Because only by being pragmatic and truthful can we achieve results through real hard work."
"Thousands of good things are said, but none of them are good."
“It’s really good when it’s done well and truly recognized by the people.”
Guoyuan said: "If there is danger, I will let other people go; if there is benefit, I will let my own people go. Why should I obey the crowd? If you want me to promote you, you must give me reasons and reasons to promote you.
Confidence.”
"I hope you can make me dare to say with pride that Chen Ci is my brother-in-law, Guo Yuan."
"do you understand?"
There was a look of expectation in Guoyuan's eyes.
Although his brother-in-law has a high vision but a low hand, he still has certain abilities. Because Chen Ci was born in a big family, he is arrogant and arrogant. This is a common problem among children of big families and must be changed.
Chen Ci fell into silence and said nothing.
Guoyuan thought quietly, and his expression changed little by little. After a long while, Chen Ci solemnly said: "Brother-in-law, I understand. When I go to Langling County, I will definitely manage the place well and live up to my brother-in-law's expectations."
Guoyuan looked approvingly and said: "You are not living up to my expectations, you are living up to what you have learned, and you are not disgracing the emperor's disciples or the Chen family's disciples. Everything you have done is not for
I am doing it all for yourself."
"Boom! Boom!!"
There was a knock on the door, and an attendant came in and reported: "I am traveling abroad, and a letter from the King of Wu has arrived."
Guoyuan nodded, took the letter, opened it and looked at it. He read it quickly, and there was a hint of surprise and surprise in Gujing Mubo's serious expression.
In the letter, it was Lu Xuan who promoted him to be the governor of Yuzhou, Zhou Yu who transferred him from Yuzhou to return to serve in the imperial court, and the adjustments and arrangements for the various states.
Chen Ci noticed Guoyuan's expression and asked, "Brother-in-law, does the King of Wu have any plans?"
Guoyuan did not hide anything and said directly: "The governor returned to the imperial court to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War. I will take over as the governor of Yuzhou and take charge of the government affairs of Yuzhou."
Chen Ci became excited and said happily: "Congratulations, brother-in-law, congratulations to brother-in-law."
Guoyuan said: "Although the official position has changed, in fact, it has not changed much for me. You should seize the time to take up the post and solve the crisis in Langling County."
Chen Ci promised: "I promise to complete the task."
Guoyuan waved his hand and said: "Go and take up the post. I will go see the Governor's wife and report the Governor's transfer. In addition, the government must also arrange for protection to ensure the safety of the Governor's family."
Chen Ci saluted and left, and Guo Yuan got up and went to the backyard where Zhou Yu's family lived alone.
