Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 104 First-Class Great Counselor
Although there are only a large number of officials in Zhuo County, due to the lack of officials in Guangyang, represented by Zou Jing, this decision is related to the early development of Youzhou, and everyone is brainstorming.

Liu Yu heard about the incidents of Guangyang and Zhuojun Yellow Turbans, and secretly rejoiced that if Liu He hadn't conscripted troops in time to suppress the rebellion, the situation in Youzhou might have been even worse than that in Jizhou, because there were barbarians everywhere on the border, and they would definitely take advantage of it. enter.

This time, there were refugees migrating from all counties, coupled with the impact of the war, Liu Yu decided to exempt Youzhou from taxes for one year, but only for people with less than ten acres of land and families with less than ten people, and the rest of the big households still have to pay food on time Otherwise, the government inventories in various places will be in a hurry.

Afterwards, everyone discussed the matter of governing the army, and everyone unanimously recommended Liu He. Regardless of his status or the strength he showed during this period, he was enough to command troops from all over the country. In addition, the imperial court already had an edict, so Liu He was the most suitable choice.

By the way, Liu He resigned as the prefect of Zhuo County, and recommended Zhuge Gui as the prefect, and Zong Yu as the magistrate of Zhuo County. Liu Fang and Tian Feng wanted to stay with him as military counselors, and they could help with county affairs in their spare time.

There is still a shortage of officials in various places. Liu He suggested that Liu Yu select talents from various counties, and regularly send the designated list of people who fled to the territory to the governor's office. If there are famous people from the Central Plains, they can be recruited as officials to govern Youzhou.

Everything is tentatively decided, and all the counties in Youzhou are waiting for Liu Yu's order. He can't stay too long in Zhuo County, and he is going to take office in Jicheng tomorrow.

After returning home after the discussion, Liu Hecai said to Liu Yu: "Today's discussion, there is still a shortage of officials from all over the country. Besides selecting from all over the place, why didn't father ask Mr. Lu for help?"

Liu Yu frowned and said: "Although Duke Lu has been deposed, he has a very high reputation and is the minister of the dynasty. How can he be allowed to condescend to the affairs of the county? If His Majesty knows about it, it will be suspected of violating the holy will."

"It's not about letting Duke Lu take up the post in person!" Liu He said with a smile: "Gong Lu is the eldest disciple of the great Confucian Ma Rong, and his fellow disciples are very talented. If Duke Lu can invite and recommend people, wouldn't the problem of insufficient officials in Youzhou be solved?"

"Yes, this plan is very clever. My father is really in Baoshan but he doesn't know it!" Liu Yu clapped his thigh excitedly and said with a smile: "Now that the party's imprisonment has been lifted, many scholars are looking for a place to return. If Lu Gong can handle it, he will definitely If you can recommend talented people, why worry about having no one available in Youzhou?"

Liu He nodded and said: "This move is for the governance of Youzhou. Mr. Lu will do his best for his hometown, so he will definitely not refuse."

Liu Yu nodded slightly: "Well, I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, and I don't have time to visit. I'll write a letter here first, and you will forward it on my behalf. After the counties in Youzhou are resettled, I will come to Zhuo County to discuss major issues between the two."

Knowing that he was talking about getting married, Liu He informed Liu Yu of the Zhen family's intention to marry after a little hesitation. The Zhen family is a Zhongshan family and is quite famous in Hebei. The big merchant family.

Liu Yu listened, thought for a moment and said seriously: "During this journey, Mr. Lu admired what you did. Although there was a small misunderstanding, it didn't hurt. As a father, I don't object to the matter between you and the Zhen family. You can consider the identities of the two, and it would be best if you can get Lu Gong's approval."

In ancient times, status was the most important thing, especially the main wife and side house were related to the status and inheritance rights of the offspring. Both families are aristocratic families. At the same time, it is necessary to carefully consider the matter of marriage.

But as long as you pass Liu Yu's level first, the rest of the matter will be easy. Let's see what Lu Zhi means first, and then discuss it with the Zhen family. From the current reputation and status, the Zhen family should be able to accept it a little later. .

I have to discuss this matter with Zhen Yao again, put it down for the time being, and said: "When my child was in Jizhou, I heard that a wise man, the king's governor, failed to conquer twice. I am very sorry. If my father can send someone to Please, maybe you will come here admiringly."

Liu Yu was taken aback and asked, "Who is this person?"

Liu He said: "This man's name is Jushou, he is from Guangping. He has little ambition and great talents. He has served as magistrate of two counties and has quite a lot of political achievements. The governor Wang said that this man is good at strategy and can take up the post of a special officer. If my father can By conquering this person, we can save a lot of effort in governing Youzhou in the future."

"To be so highly valued by the king's governor, there must be a great talent!" Liu Yufu must have pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, I will write to send someone to invite this person immediately."

Liu He was overjoyed. He had asked Tian Feng and others about Jushou before, but they didn't know each other, so he always regretted it.

Later generations commented that there were four major strategists in the Three Kingdoms, namely Xun Yu, Zhuge Liang, Lu Su, and Ju Shou. They were different from battlefield tactical staff such as Guo Jia and Tian Feng, and they were good at political vision and strategic planning.

Jushou's strategy for Yuan Shao is also very clever, across the north of the river, in the land of the four states, recruit heroes, have millions of people, welcome the grand master to Chang'an, and command the world.

If Yuan Shao had Cao Cao's decisiveness in killing and attacking, he would be able to sweep the Central Plains immediately after unifying Hebei and help the Han Dynasty, but it is a pity that he was defeated by hesitation and indecisiveness.

In Liu He's mind, Jushou can be regarded as a first-class strategist, and his strategic level is no less than that of Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and others.

Xun Yu was an all-rounder, good at strategy, tactics, and internal affairs. Zhuge Liang was good at strategy and internal affairs, while Guo Jia and Xun You focused more on military strategies between battle formations.

From the perspective of Jushou's plan for Yuan Shao, both the strategy and the military strategy are relatively comprehensive, which is comparable to Xun Yu and Zhuge Liang.

It's a pity that a generation of Wizards of the World was disqualified, because they served a stupid lord, not only failed to fulfill their life's ambitions, but also ended up being killed, which is really regrettable.

From this we can see how important it is that Guan Yu said, "The minister who chooses the master must meet the wise master".

Now his own prestige may not be enough for Jushou to come here. I hope Liu Yu can recruit Jushou so that this strategist can shine in the future, which can be regarded as the beauty of an adult.

At the family dinner in the evening, Liu He took advantage of the opportunity to eat and asked Liu Ping to stay in Zhuoxian County. He was similar in age to Zhuge Jin, so that they could study together. If there was an opportunity, they could go to Lu Zhi's home for advice at any time.

Liu Yuzheng wanted Liu Ping to be his apprentice, and of course it would be best to choose Lu Zhi, so he readily agreed.

Mrs. Wang said to Mrs. Bu: "When He'er gets married, we will be a family. Mr. Lu will definitely teach Ping'er carefully."

Bu Shi also smiled with relief. Although Liu He didn't directly explain to Liu Yu about his business, but he had a chance to stay in Zhuo County, and he was under Lu Zhi's family, so she was very relieved.

Liu Yu said to Liu He: "However, Mr. Lu also misunderstood you about Dukang Pavilion yesterday. You have to apologize to Mr. Lu first and explain the situation."

Liu He smiled helplessly: "When I met Lu Gong for the first time, I had such a misunderstanding. I'm afraid he..."

"No problem!" Liu Yu glanced at the jug on the table, and said with a smile, "Mr. Lu is good at wine, and he is always proud of being able to drink it for a stone. If you use this wine, it will definitely not exceed a bucket!"

Liu He nodded repeatedly and smiled knowingly: "I understand, kid."

A stone in this era is equivalent to more than 30 catties in later generations. Although it sounds like a lot of alcohol, the degree of alcohol is equivalent to that of beer. Putting it in barbecue stalls, bars and KTVs in later generations, there are not a few people who can drink so much .

But no one dares to drink liquor that is forty or fifty degrees Celsius!
