Chapter 114: Work Conference of the First Year of Chuping
The first month of the Han Dynasty gave a total of seven days off, plus the seven days of the summer solstice and the seven days of the winter solstice, there were three golden weeks in a year, plus Spring Society, Sanfu, Qiu Society, Mid-Autumn Festival, Laba, and something like February 8,
March 3rd, July 15th and other specific days, and it was popular in the Han Dynasty to take a five-day holiday, which means a day off every fifth day. In this way, the total of seven, seven, eight, eight, and eight days will be nearly a hundred days a year.
Have a holiday……
The so-called "mu rest" means giving you time to go home and take a shower, but there are generally no special official regulations on what else to do besides taking a shower after you get home.
But similarly, after a long holiday or a holiday, they usually gather together for a work meeting on the first day to check the progress of the work, so after the end of the golden week of seven days in the first month, the Jingzhou Xiangyang Chuping Meeting was held.
The first year work conference, the relevant leaders attending this meeting are——
Well, it's leaked.
The main reason is that Feiqian has been sitting and waiting for a long time, which is very boring.
Naturally, Fei Qian also had to attend. After all, he had been receiving money and not working for a few months. Even if he didn't take Liu Biao seriously, he should at least respect the money and food he was given every month...
In just one or two months, Liu Biao's team has obviously expanded a lot.
Leaving aside Fei Qian's fictitious power, in addition to Pang Ji, Wenpin, Fu Xun, Yi Ji, Cai He, Deng Xi, and Wang Wei, Liu Biao now has Kuai Liang and Kuai under his command.
The two Yue brothers, as well as Cai Mao and Cai Zhong from the Cai family.
In addition, Fei Qian also noticed that there were some new faces. Among the new civil servants were Zhang Yun from Shanyang County, who was said to be Liu Biao's nephew;
The two great Confucians Zhong and Qi Wukai of the Song Dynasty are included; as for military attachés, Zhang Yun, Su Fei and Lu Jie are also added.
Everyone put on a serious look, knelt down and sat upright, quietly waiting for the big boss Liu Biao to appear, and of course Fei Qian was no exception.
Liu Biao finally arrived in a staggering manner.
After everyone waited for Liu Biao to sit down, they congratulated Liu Biao according to the routine, and then took turns to report on the work one by one:
The clan thieves were captured, and seventy-eight of them were killed in public display. The rest were incorporated into Cai Mao's troops and are being trained...
A total of more than 30,000 laborers were used to build and organize roads and water conservancy projects around Xiangyang...
Piyong was founded, and now it has recruited more than ten doctors and hundreds of students...
Xiangyang South City was added, and now there are more than 60 merchants...
…
Everyone was talking in a cadence, but Fei Qian felt drowsy when he heard it. He just wanted to end the meeting early and go back to the wooden house to read...
Everyone finished speaking one by one, and suddenly there was an unusual silence.
Originally, Kuai Yue thought that he had already negotiated with Liu Biao before, so now was the best opportunity. Liu Biao only needed to take advantage of the situation to comment, and then he would naturally ask about Fei Qian - Fei Biao, you have already done it
What kind of job...
Then Kuai Yue would naturally follow up, smacking Fei Qian all over his face, and then kicking Fei Qian down...
But Kuai Yue suddenly noticed that after everyone had finished speaking, Liu Biao, who was smiling, just nodded and said nothing - Hey! Liu Biao, Liu Jingsheng, what do you mean by this? It's your turn now!
Kuai Yue couldn't hold it any longer. Just when he was about to speak, Kuai Liang on the side beat him to it——
Kuai Liang reported to Liu Biao sternly: "Ming Gong, now the governor of Nanyang is in vain. Yuan Jiujiang has been conferring official titles. Changes have occurred after a long period of time, which is really a big trouble."
Liu Biao squinted at Kuai Liang, then glanced at Kuai Yue as if intentionally or unintentionally, nodded and said, "Zi Rou's words make sense, do you have any good strategies?"
"If you challenge Yuan now, it is inevitable that your master will be unknown. Therefore, you can write a letter to Yuan, pretending to be the governor, so as to slacken his heart, and also urge the court to appoint a candidate quickly. This will definitely cause jealousy, and if you ask the Ming Gong, you can send your troops.
Go ahead and decide it in one fell swoop.”
Liu Biao thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he smiled and said: "Good! Just follow Zirou's strategy."
Forget about other people, even if there is no reason, they can send troops to fight, but the Yuan family is different after all. There are members of the Fourth Generation and the Three Gongs everywhere. To attack Yuan Shu without a valid reason is no less than poking a hornet's nest naked.
But if the newly arrived Nanyang governor was bullied by the Yuan family and found the Jingzhou governor to uphold justice - then Liu Biao would naturally be able to lead his younger brothers to persuade him to break up the fight. Of course, the specific method of persuasion is another matter...
Liu Biao coughed and said seriously: "What else do you want to do?"
Ah, does this mean the show is about to end?
Fei Qian immediately became energetic and looked around...
Fei Qian was eager to leave, but Kuai Yue was anxious. This was completely different from what he had promised! Didn't he say that he would punish the corpse-eaters? Why did he have to leave without saying a word?
Cai Hao, who was sitting next to the general, stood up and said: "To inform you, Duke Ming, most of the newly recruited sect thieves are gangsters, and there are very few who are good at bows. According to someone's opinion, there is an urgent need to train two thousand archers, but there are only 2,000 archers left in the army.
We don’t have enough arrows, so I hope Duke Ming will allocate 50,000 to practice them.” After saying this, he glanced at Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue intentionally or unintentionally, smiled, and then sat down.
Yes, the lack of archers is indeed a big problem. Liu Biao nodded, turned to Qi Wukai and asked, "How many arrows does the public have in his inventory?" Qi Wukai currently serves as the chief registrar, so naturally he knows better.
Qi Wukai frowned and said: "There are only more than 10,000 left." - Xiangyang consumed some during the last Yellow Turban Rebellion and has not fully replenished it, so now there is still a shortfall of about 40,000, which is not good.
Do...
Kuai Yue immediately felt that this was an excellent opportunity, especially Cai Mao's behavior before sitting down. It seemed to be hinting at something. Could it be that the Cai family also felt that Fei Qian was an eyesore and wanted this position, so
Did you specifically raise such a difficult question?
The more Kuai thinks about it, the more he feels that this is the case. In this case, he will first pull Fei Qian down. As for whether this special position will belong to the Kuai family or the Cai family in the future, it depends on their subsequent methods...
Thinking of this, Kuai Yue immediately stood up.
When Kuai Liang saw this, he stretched out his hand slightly to pull, but when he saw that Kuai Yue had already stood up, he had no choice but to give up with a low sigh.
Kuai Yue said loudly: "Only when the food is sufficient can the army's morale be determined, and only when the weapons are sufficient can the troops be refined. General Cai's words are reasonable. The current plan is to first adjust the public treasury and select a special person to make arrows, and prepare enough for military use within a month."
After finishing speaking, he saw Cai Mao smiling and nodding. He immediately felt that joining forces with the Cai family this time would definitely knock down Fei Qian in one fell swoop!
Liu Biao also nodded and said: "Xiandu's words are reasonable, but what about supervising the ordnance..."
Kuai Yue immediately took over the topic and said: "To inform you, Duke Ming, supervising the ordnance is no small matter. It requires someone who is knowledgeable and has a high position to ensure that the construction deadline is not missed. Therefore -" After saying that, he looked over to where Fei Qian was...
Fei Qian blinked, what do you mean by this? Does this mean that you want me to supervise the making of arrows? Oh, I am not Kong Ming, go there and make 40,000 to 50,000 arrows...
