Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 314 The Talent of Wang Zuo
Xu You went back to the government office and returned to the government office. He saw that Liu He was having a banquet with guests and was about to leave, but was invited by Liu He to join him.

After entering the room, I found that there was only one guest, and it was Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo, who went up to greet him and said: "I haven't seen you for many years, Wen Ruo is still so elegant and handsome, I am ashamed of you."

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Brother Ziyuan has made great achievements this time, I'm gratified and congratulated."

Xu You caressed and said: "Now that I'm abandoning politics and going into business, as long as Wen Ruo doesn't make fun of me, that's enough. How dare I take credit for it?"

Xun Yu shook his head and said: "Using business as a government, non-wise people can't do it. When the Han Dynasty is rejuvenated in the future, Ziyuan's contribution will not be inferior to that of Tao Zhugong!"

"Oh?" Xu You raised his eyebrows, and was moved by Xun Yu's words. He paused for a while and laughed loudly, "It's just what I did, but it happened to run counter to Tao Zhugong. How dare you compare with the ancients?"

In the past, Fan Li first helped Goujian before going into business, but now Xu You is in business and secretly helping Liu He, the situation is naturally different.

While thinking about it, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Brother Ziyuan met Han Fu this time, how much money did he receive?"

Xu You took a seat at Liu He's signal, stroked his beard and said lightly: "It's not much, just two hundred... 250 million yuan!"

He originally wanted to only say 200 million and take the remaining 100 million for himself, but what Xun Yu said just now made Xu You change his mind.

At this time, his mind was more open-minded. If he wanted to be famous forever, it was not enough to just collect money for profit, but also to help Liu He make contributions, which was the real thing.

"250 million?" Guo Jia opened his mouth slightly and said in shock, "Isn't that much?"

Seeing Guo Jia's shock and the astonishment on the faces of the others, Xu You smiled proudly, shook his head and said, "Compared to all of you attacking the city and seizing the territory, what's the big deal?"

Liu He raised his hand to signal that everyone should not argue, and said with a smile: "The Art of War says: Before the troops move, the food and grass go first! This food and grass are also extremely important. Mr. Xu raised money and food for me, and coordinated the rear. He also contributed a lot."

The others all nodded and raised their glasses to toast. This banquet was prepared by Guo Jia when he forcibly pulled Xun Yu from his home. There were no outsiders, and the banquet was much more relaxed.

Guo Jia pushed Xun Yu beside him, and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo, I said that Junhou is good at employing people. Although Brother Ziyuan has a little problem of loving money, he can do this like a fish in water. How about it?"

Xun Yu nodded slightly, and toasted Xu You: "Money is the lifeblood of a country. If Brother Ziyuan can follow Tao Zhugong, Sang Hongyang, etc. as models, why not worry about fame?"

"Thank you, Wen Ruo, for reminding me." Xu You's heart moved, and while toasting to agree, he secretly looked at Liu He.

When Guo Jia and Xun Yu sang together, did they really praise themselves, or did they intentionally hint, reminding themselves not to be too greedy for money?
It's just that Liu He lowered his head to pick up the food there, and couldn't see the expression on his face, so it was really difficult to judge for a while.

He raised his head and drank the wine, Xu You asked, "I don't know who will hand over this money to?"

Liu He said with a smile, "Give it back to the treasury first. I have already planned to open a printing factory in Yecheng, and I have to wait until Wei County is pacified before making arrangements."

"Of order!" Xu You nodded in agreement, but frowned slightly. Originally, he said he was in Julu, so why did he go to Yecheng again?
In doubt, I heard Xun Yu say: "The general moved the Jizhou government to Yecheng, so that Hebei can be stabilized in the north, and Bingzhou can be deterred in the west. Just wait for the Central Plains to change, and then they can cross the south and go down to wipe out the smoke in one fell swoop."

Liu He nodded and said: "Wen Ruo's words are very much in line with my wishes. Now that Hebei is at peace and people's hearts are at peace, Wei County will be established as a military center, which can radiate to the Central Plains."

Only then did Xu You realize that they were discussing major events in Hebei. From this point of view, it is not surprising that the center of gravity of Hebei will not be shifted in the future, and the printing factory is located in Yecheng.

Thinking of this, Xu You asked: "Now that Wei County is occupied by Yuan Shao and attacked by Heishan bandits, it may not be easy to take this place."

Liu He said with a smile: "Now there is only Wei County Weiping in Jizhou, and I am going to ask my husband to go to Yecheng. Do you dare to go?"

Xu You asked, "Do you dare to see Yuan Benchu?"

Liu He nodded and said, "Exactly."

Xu Youfu smiled and said: "I and Benchu ​​are old friends, and we have very close contacts. If you are sent by the king, you will definitely go there."

Liu He nodded with a smile and said, "We will discuss this matter later. Today is Wen Ruo's reception, and we will not return until we are drunk."

Guo Jia laughed loudly and said, "Wen Ruo has long been greedy for this court jade liquid wine, so I must drink enough today."

Xun Yu only drank three cups, his fair face was already flushed, but his eyes were always very clear, he raised his glass and said with a smile, "I have never been drunk since I left Feng Xiao, and I will stop when I get drunk today."

Liu He shook his head and laughed. Xun Yu's drinking capacity was not as good as Guo Jia's. Drinking this kind of wine, he was no match for Guo Jia. After all, Guo Jia had been practicing for more than half a year, and his drinking capacity improved at an alarming rate.

Xu You was on the sidelines, and before the third tour, Xun Yu was already drunk, lying on the table unconscious.

Guo Jia pointed at Xun Yu and laughed loudly: "It is said that Xun Wenruo is clean and self-sufficient, with a good appearance, comparable to a virtuous gentleman, and he will show his ugly appearance after drinking the contents of this cup, hahaha..."

Liu He slapped him and scolded with a smile: "How can Feng Xiao mock Wen Ruo so much?"

Guo Jia chuckled, but he didn't care. Although he and Xun Yu had completely different personalities, they were close friends.

Liu He hurriedly ordered someone to help Xun Yu to rest in the back hall. This time, he persuaded Han Fu to give up Jizhou.

Although the Jizhou matter was successfully resolved, Liu He still had a little regret in his heart, that is, Xun You, another top counselor, moved the capital to Chang'an with Dong Zhuo, and was not included in the migration of the Xun clan.

Just half a month ago, Xun Yu received a letter from Chang'an stating that Xun You, Yilang Zheng Tai, Chang Shi He Yong and others had conspired to assassinate Dong Zhuo, but they were accused of failing, and now they are all imprisoned in a big prison with unknown life or death.

But Liu He is not too worried. It seems that there are many people planning to assassinate Dong Zhuo. According to the time, Wang Yun is already planning a series of schemes. If things go well, Dong Zhuo will not survive for two months at most.

He has already ordered someone to inquire about the news in Chang'an. If there is any movement, he will report it immediately. The most important thing now is to calm Hebei and stabilize the rear. When there is chaos in Guanzhong, if they can receive the emperor, people like Cao Cao and Sun Jian are actually nothing to be afraid of.

After Guo Jia left, Liu He handed over the remaining jar of imperial jade liquid wine to Xu You, and said, "If you want to dedicate this wine to Chunyu Qiong, just say that I have admired his name for a long time, and I don't want to be with him." Enemy, let's pay respects with a jar of wine."

Xu You asked suspiciously: "Although Chunyu Qiong once paid homage to the Eighth Commandant of Xiyuan, he actually used money to clear Zhang Rang's income. Why do you only value this person?"

Liu He said with a smile: "This person will be of great use in the future. Sir, just praise him for his abilities."

Xu You thought that Liu He was going to use a strategy of alienation, so he agreed, and asked, "I don't know why the lord sent me to see Yuan Shao?"

"Of course it's a bill!" Liu He said with a chuckle, "Yuan Shao left his family in Nanpi and ignored them. More than 100 people spent on food and drink, but I can't afford the expenses."

Xu You's eyes lit up, he cupped his fists and said, "Leave this to me."
