Seven or eight days later, it is already halfway through the twelfth lunar month.

The north wind is as tight as the day, blowing on people's faces like cutting a knife. Flying snow is like a catkin. When you are rushing in the wild, the scenery hundreds of steps away is no longer visible.

Cai Yong's family was from Chenliu. During the past ten years of his life, he lived in seclusion in the warm Wu County, so Cai Yan lived to be almost fourteen years old, and he had never been to Hebei once.

Now, not only is he here, but he is still the coldest Youzhou, and the coldest season at the end of the twelfth lunar month. It is really painful. The old and young family have only walked so slowly. It took only seven days to travel from Wuji to Jixian.

"I'm so frozen to death, I'm so cold in a fur coat and a charcoal stove. How do people in Youzhou survive in winter?" Cai Yan shivered in the carriage. She was petite and thin. The little girl stayed at home and read books without exercise. She was very weak.

"No, you must hold it back. My senior brother has been on the mission for so long and has no news. I can't see Liu Youzhou and ask me clearly. Why don't you feel at ease? If you endure it, you won't be cold."

After a few times of mental hinting, after another half a day, the carriage finally entered Jixian Town in the afternoon.

Cai Yong was a famous scholar of the times, so of course he didn't need to stay in the guest house. He knew that Li Su had a close relationship with Ji County Magistrate Liu Bei, so he went straight to the county government to deliver a post. The minor official under the county magistrate, heard that he was the mentor of Li Changshi, and Mr. Cai, a great scholar of the times, came to visit him, of course he came out to greet him and arranged everything.

But when Cai Yong asked about Li Su's whereabouts, the county magistrates all said that they didn't know that the front line should be in a tight situation. They were just the yamen responsible for civil affairs and did not have a first-hand military information report on the front line.

Finally, he found Lu Su, who followed Liu Bei and rose to Ji County Magistrate, and Lu Su said that he could help them arrange a meeting with the envoy.

Theoretically, the positions of county magistrates and county magistrates are of high rank according to the size of the county, but all county magistrates and county magistrates have only two levels: the county, county magistrate, and county magistrates are all three hundred stones; the county, county magistrate and county magistrates are all two hundred stones.

Even the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang, which Cao Cao served as the capital, would not be much higher. It is just that Luoyang, as the capital, had to set up several chiefs and lieutenants in various parts.

However, in fact, even if it is only 300 stones, the power of the county magistrate of the county magistrate of the county magistrate of the county magistrate of the county magistrate of the Liangxiang county from May to July this year, when Lusu became the county magistrate of the county magistrate of the county magistrate of the Liangxiang county, the authority at hand and the experience in daily work were obviously not as good as being the county magistrate in Ji County after August.

As a large county where a prefecture is located, Ji County's mixed civil affairs are very difficult and very powerful. As the saying goes, the magistrate is attached to Guo; the evil is full of evil, and the provincial capital is attached to Guo. So many powerful figures come and go, and it is very difficult to save the place.

But Liu Bei was a hand-off manager of civil affairs. He spent most of his time in charge of military affairs and suppressed rebellion, and all civil affairs were left to Lu Su for random treatment. He also had to help Liu Bei raise some military rations and front-line military supplies, which was no less than Xiao He did logistics in Hanzhong back then. Lu Su, who was only 17 years old, was a little worried even if he only managed a county, and grew up quickly at the same time.

Cai Yong was quite surprised to see that Lu Su was young and looked a little older than Li Su, and he could even become the county magistrate of Ji County. The two chatted a little, talked about the righteousness of the world, the daily life of the people, and asked about his hometown and personal situation. Cai Yong quickly praised Lu Su's vision and insight. He heard that he was also from the south and felt more intimate.

"Young people are so terrifying, they are really a talent. County Magistrate Liu was relieved to hand over all the affairs of a county to a young man aged 16 or 17. He had been in charge for half a year and had no mistakes. It was not easy to use one and the other dared to do it."

Lu Su smiled bitterly, but there was also gratitude in his expression: "Where? After half a year of taking office, there have been more than a dozen big and small mistakes. When I first contacted the household registration of money and grain, I was inevitably inaccessible. Or I didn't see the small deficit when I took over the position.

When I was in Liangxiang, I found two roads, and there were three more places in Jixian, each of which was at least tens of thousands of yuan. During the autumn tax, I was deceived by the people below. I really wanted to refund the compensation myself, but I was afraid that after half a year, it would not be enough to pay two or three million yuan, otherwise I would have to be dismissed from office. It was still the magistrate of Liu who was sympathetic to me that I had just started, and the gap between the two million yuan was filled.

It is a pity that when I joined Li Changshi north, I still thought I was "instructed to give to each other" and claimed to be a generous and heroic man. Now, I think that the money and food I gave to Liu County Magistrate/Li Changshi at that time was not as bad as I had been an official until now. It was really a kind of kindness to know the favor of working under Liu County Magistrate. In this Han Dynasty, there were several officials who could tolerate the omissions and mistakes of their subordinates."

Cai Yong was originally just chatting, and he had no intersection with the people in Liu Bei's camp. He admired Li Su, but felt that Liu Bei himself was just a vulgar general.

Now, after Lu Su said this, it has been quite a change: I didn’t expect that the Han Dynasty would have a chief who lost money to make up for the loss of his subordinates and allowed his subordinates to quickly train and grow.

Of course, Liu Bei must have principles and cannot be a bad person. He also first determined Lu Su's nature and character, knowing that he could not be corrupt, but only because he had little experience in his youth and made mistakes and gave him the opportunity to correct his mistakes.

Such a way of employing people is destined to be the county magistrate for half a year, and the growth rate of official experience is equal to that of others for two or three years - Lu Su himself has to be successful and should take the initiative to work more overtime.

"It seems that Liu Bei, a young man, is a rare minister in Youzhou who is responsible. Although he is only a county magistrate of the prefecture, he has made great contributions and his future is limitless. If Liu Youzhou becomes old and retired in the future, will the peace of Youzhou be maintained by Liu Bei?"

Cai Yong couldn't help thinking this way, but he quickly pulled his thoughts back. Anyway, he had no plans to avoid disaster in Youzhou, so it would be useless to think about it. At most, he just burys the seeds of a spare tire in his heart.

While the two were chatting, someone from outside the county government came back to report and said a few words in Lu Su's ear. Lu Su quickly got up:

"Didn't Mr. Cai and Ling Er want to ask the envoy for the news about Li Changshi? I just replied that the envoy has free time, so Su will not delay your business. Come and prepare a car. I will take Mr. Cai to the envoy's mansion together."

The three of them got into the car. After arriving in, Cai Yan saw that his father and Lu Su did not talk about government affairs anymore. He plucked up the courage to take out a letter and secretly asked Lu Su to read: "Mr. Lu, I heard that your friendship with my senior brother is extraordinary. Please help me see how the petition letter is worded?

You said that if my senior brother was still suffering from wind and snow in Liaoxi, or if there was any inconvenience, I asked the envoy to let him go back, would you agree? I wouldn't be angry, right?"

When Lu Su heard this, he couldn't help but be curious and took the article and looked at it.

"My senior brother protects Wuhuan's chief lieutenant Li Su, who was honored by the court for his minor achievements and was entrusted to Xuan Jie. His kindness is extraordinary... This year, he has not been crowned for cultivation and is less than seven feet long, so he cannot tie a chicken. He has traveled far away from the desert and cannot withstand the suffering of coldness, and he is always strong. I heard the poem says..."

After watching for a while, Lu Su couldn't help laughing: "This is a writing imitating the words of Mr. Ban for his brother. I didn't expect that Brother Boya has such a junior sister who values ​​friendship among his classmates. It's a pity, but don't worry, although I don't know his current situation, I don't think I'll put Brother Boya in danger. As far as I know, Brother Boya is now the most appreciated staff member."

"That's good, I'm so worried." Cai Yan breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: I have no conscience! Since I'm fine, I won't report my safety back!

Lu Su is a kind person, and of course he will not ask about other people's privacy. Seeing Cai Yan is so young, he just pretends that he has not heard anything, or thinks that his brothers and sisters are pure in their kindness, just like brothers and sisters.

The carriage soon arrived at the palace palace of the governor. Lu Su informed him on his behalf. The manager of the mansion heard that he was a great scholar Cai Yong, so he would not stop him. When he walked outside the second gate, Liu Yu had already come out to greet him.

"Brother Bo Ji, I haven't seen you for ten years, and my style remains the same." Liu Yu served as Zongzheng in Beijing ten years ago. At that time, Cai Yong was still a counselor and an official in Beijing, so the two met ten years ago, but there was no deep friendship.

"I asked Liu to take the time to see you, and I was very disturbing." Cai Yong was very humble and polite, and he put on a low posture as a scattered man in the wild.

"Brother Bo Qi's great scholars in the world are the authentic classics of the dynasty and the historical principles of the dynasty, and he also compiled national history. How can he discuss the titles and titles? What's more, Brother Bo Qi's writing "The Blessed Relationship with the Palace" this time has made great contributions to the court to quell the rebellion and eliminate harm and calm the hearts of the people in the world. If you are so polite, it's just artificial!" Liu Yu pretended to be stern and came up to talk to Cai Yong.

In terms of age, Cai Yong is over 50 years old, and Liu Yu is slightly two or three years younger than him, so it is not a blessing to show respect in this way.

Cai Yan followed her father and wanted to ask about the serious matters when she first came in, but due to etiquette and law, she could not interfere when the adults were polite. Hearing that Liu Yu finally blew each other into the "Dianxing You Fulun", she quickly relied on her young age and acted slightly coquettish:

"Jun Liu, you said that the "On the Blessed Relationship of Palace Xing" has effect, but did Senior Brother Li make contributions to the court? He has been away for more than a month and has no news. We... my father is worried, for fear that his most proud disciple will make any mistakes. My Senior Brother has not yet won't be able to endure the pain of the wind and snow in the desert. Please ask the envoy to let him come back soon... He, is he really okay?"

Liu Yu: "Oh, this is Ling Yan Zhaoji? I saw him when he was in Luoyang. He was a three-year-old baby at that time and is now so old. It seems that Brother Bo Yi's family is harmonious and his family is very close. If I had known that you would have been worried about Bo Ya, I would have known you.

Brother Bo Ji knew the importance of the country and would definitely not spread the national military information. Bo Ya recently helped Xuande in western Liaoning to recruit surrender and rebel, and Huairou was dispersed. He had made great contributions. With his three-inch tongue, he and the view of destiny in the "Dian Xing You Fu" discussion, he lobbed the leader of the Wuhuan, Qiu Liju, to surrender, and even killed the head of the pseudo-emperor to present to the court.

The day before yesterday, I had already submitted the memorial to the court. Among them, there is also a clear statement that Brother Bo Yi and Bo Ya work together to calm people's hearts and should be sent to Luoyang at the beginning of the first lunar month. If you are quick, you can receive a reward and order from the court before the Lantern Festival. As the cold land is cold today, Brother Bo Yi is worried about the safety of his disciples, why not stay in Jixian to celebrate the New Year together?"

After hearing Liu Yu's understatement, Cai Yan's eyes suddenly lit up many times, and she felt leisurely: "What? The senior brother actually convinced Shanyu to surrender and kill the fake emperor with his eloquence?!"

What kind of credit is this?

Too great.

I don’t know if the examples in "Qing Li Gong" he wrote were used when persuaded by Hu Qiao. If only it could be used, Cai Yan would feel very honored.
