Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 42 Entering Pingyuan County, a place where heroes gather

Gaotang County has limited manpower and financial resources, which are not enough to support Zheng Ping to make too many changes.

After all, this is not an infrastructure game of the Three Kingdoms, and the infrastructure can be built step by step.

Similarly, one month is too short, and even if a decree is actually promulgated, it will be difficult to implement it.

The only things that can be firmly grasped are money, food and military affairs.

Hoarding money and food, raising soldiers and horses well, this is the foundation of a foothold!
The population of the nine counties in Pingyuan County is nearly 30 in more than [-] registered households.

The resources of mountains and rivers are not comparable to that of Gaotang County.

If the power of nine counties can be gathered, it will have a great impact on the situation in Qingzhou as a whole.

Therefore, Liu Bei was willing to try Zheng Ping's strategy.

This is also what Zheng Ping admires most about Liu Bei.

If someone was more cautious, he might reprimand Zheng Ping for being conceited and self-important.

But Liu Bei is very aware of his situation, and knows that everything needs to be fought for before it can be done.

If he just wanted to be a Gao Tang Ling who kept his own law and order, Liu Bei didn't need to think too much at all.

Just muddle through.

Risk is opportunity.

Don't be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what happens.

What if Chen Ji really pretended to be sick?
Two days later.

Liu Bei and Zheng Ping selected more than ten elite riders, and ordered Zhang Fei to accompany them. They came to Pingyuan County in the early morning before dawn.

There is little sunshine in the early morning and the wind is cool, which is suitable for galloping.

If it is noon, the scorching sun will be unbearable for both humans and horses.

The road of more than a hundred miles is not close or far, but because some of the mountain roads are rugged and the people and horses have to avoid the scorching sun, they did not arrive at Pingyuan County until the morning of the second day.

Although it is said to be the seat of Pingyuan County, it is all Wanhu County, and the city is not much larger than Gaotang County.

It seems that because of the lack of repairs, it looks more dilapidated.

Sun Qian, who returned early, had already rode his horse to greet him at the gate of the city.

"Mr. Xuande, you have worked hard all the way!"

"Chen Xiang has already prepared a banquet in the banquet hall of the county government."

Beside Sun Qian, there is also a nobleman who recommended Liu Bei twice, Liu Ziping, who is about forty years old, former captain of Pingyuan County, and now serves as the chief historian of Pingyuan County.

And Liu Ziping's son-in-law, Deng Xu, is the current captain of Pingyuan County.

"I have seen Chang Shi!" Seeing that Liu Ziping was also at the gate of the city, Liu Bei hurriedly approached to salute, with a respectful tone.

Without Liu Ziping's recommendation, how could Liu Bei be where he is today?

The kindness of recommendation cannot be forgotten, this is Liu Bei's code of conduct.

Although Liu Ziping is a long history, he was born with a burly body.

After all, Liu Ziping was the captain of Pingyuan County before becoming a long history. He appreciated Liu Bei's bravery and recommended him to Qingzhou, and let him follow Qingzhou to conquer Yuyang Zhang Chun.

Liu Ziping chuckled: "Xuande doesn't need to be formal, you and I are old acquaintances."

Looking at Zheng Ping, seeing that his figure was tall and straight and not like ordinary scholars, Liu Ziping's eyes were a little more appreciative: "This must be Zheng Ping, the genius who lied to be the captain of the thief in the past and scared off the yellow scarves."

Zheng Ping replied with a smile: "Old Pingyuan County's name of begging for the thief captain, the younger generation has heard a lot, so I borrowed it to scare the thieves, but I didn't expect the effect to be good. Rather than saying that the younger generation scares away the Yellow Turban, it is better to say that it is the prestige of Chang Shi Even more than in previous years."

Liu Ziping laughed loudly: "Brother Kang Cheng and I are old acquaintances. I didn't expect such a sincere gentleman to have such a cunning son."

"Blessed is Brother Kang Cheng!"

Everyone looked at each other and laughed, and rode their horses into the city.

Come to the county office.

But he saw an elegant and extraordinary young man standing at the door, it was Chen Ji's eldest son, Chen Qun.

The gate of the city was greeted by Gong Cao Sun Qian and the chief historian Liu Ziping, and the gate of the county government was greeted by the eldest son Chen Qun who also served as the county magistrate.

This is no longer simply letting Liu Bei and Zheng Ping report on their duties.

Since it is a debriefing, how can there be any reason for the chief to welcome the subordinate?

"Magistrate Liu, County Chancellor Zheng, my father has already prepared a small banquet to clean up the dust for the two of you, please!" Chen Qun was warm and polite, showing the family style of a famous family.

"Yide, restrain the knights and don't cause trouble in the city!" Liu Bei instructed Zhang Fei in a low voice.

Zhang Fei is not qualified to attend such a banquet.

Zhang Fei also knew how to measure, and immediately agreed: "Don't worry, brother, I know."

When everyone entered, Chen Ji, Prime Minister of Pingyuan, had already sat quietly in the main seat for a long time.

Seeing Liu Bei and Zheng Ping coming, Chen Ji smiled slightly: "Xuande, I have been waiting for you for a few days, why are you so late?"

Liu Bei held the ceremony and said: "The county is busy with affairs, and it is difficult to get out of it for a while, so I came late. I hope that Chen Xiang will be considerate, and the lower officials are willing to ask for punishment."

Chen Ji laughed: "Xuan De is diligent in government affairs and is an example in the nine counties. If the truth is punishment, wouldn't he become a mediocre person who doesn't know rewards and punishments?"

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone divided the guests into seats.

On the banquet table, although there are treats such as fruit cakes, there is no alcohol, only water.

"I heard from Gongyou that alcohol is banned in Gaotang County, and he can only drink plain water when he goes there."

"Xuande set an example, and my father admired it a lot, so I didn't prepare any wine today, and only served the guests with plain water."

Chen Qun explained.

After all, preparing wine and entertaining guests is already the etiquette of the scholar circle.

Especially for the Prime Minister of a county, it would be very rude to entertain guests without even drinks.

Liu Bei is used to plain water, so he doesn't care if he has alcohol or not.

moment.

When Chen Ji asked about the business, he calmed down slightly: "Xuande, here are people who can be trusted in the truth. You are gathering food in the city in Gaotang County, and you want to curb the growth of the Yellow Turbans by fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness. This is a very good move."

"It's a pity that among the nine counties in the plain, only Gaotang County in Xuande can gather grain in the city, but it is difficult for the other eight counties to follow suit."

"Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, I have paid more attention to the harvest of crops in the nine counties."

"I called you here today to ask you, is there a good way to ensure that the crops in the nine counties will not be snatched by the Yellow Turbans?"

Liu Bei in Gaotang County can guarantee that, after all, the deployment is almost ready.

But the remaining eight counties.
Liu Bei glanced at Zheng Ping, folded his hands and replied: "Chen Xiang, the strategy of gathering grain in the city to ensure the crops of Gaotang County is all thanks to Mr. Xianmou's strategy, but the lower officials do not have such a wise plan."

"Mr. Xianmou once wrote a theory of twelve strategies for the lower officials, discussing the situation in Qingzhou, saying that this is a good governance strategy."

"Because of the busy affairs in the county, the subordinate officials have not been able to present the petition to Prime Minister Chen in person."

Chen Ji's eyes froze: "Since there is a theory, did Xuande bring it?"

Liu Bei stood up and handed over the twelve strategies he had prepared to Chen Ji.

There are thousands of words on policy, every word is pearls.

Whether it is literary talent or writing, it can be called excellent.

The more Chen Ji looked at it, the more startled he became, and the more he watched it, the more he admired it.

a long time.

Chen Ji put down the Twelve Strategies, looked at Zheng Ping, and gained a new understanding of Zheng Xuan's second son.

"Cheng Zheng, forgive me for speaking bluntly."

"Although your strategy is good, neither Qingzhou Inspector Jiao He nor this old man can implement it."
