Su Shuang was also a member of the team that accompanied Liu Jian in the uprising.
Su Shuang's growth, like Liu Jian's, was both dramatic and legendary.
You must know that Su Shuang was originally just a charlatan in Zhuo County, running a business that was not on the stage.
Although Su Shuang was rich at that time, he was completely out of the ordinary in Youzhou. It was not until Su Shuang gradually became friends with Liu Jian that everything changed.
At that time, Liu Jian also started from a young age. Like Su Shuang, he was just an ordinary young man among the powerful men in Zhuo County, Youzhou.
Su Shuang was lucky. He had a pair of discerning eyes. He saw that Liu Jian was extraordinary and was willing to put all the bets for his own turnaround on Liu Jian.
Facts have proved that Su Shuang's bet was indeed right.
He placed his fate on Liu Jian, which can be said to be the most important and correct decision he has ever made in his life.
Since then, Su Shuang has become an important backbone member of Liu Jian's power group.
Although he is not a member of the Animal Husbandry Department, as the chairman of the Hebei Chamber of Commerce and Industry representing the Jizhou government, Su Shuang represents Liu Jian in charge of local investment and construction development.
It can be said that although what Su Shuang did may not seem so spectacular, his role was no less important than any of Liu Jian's generals.
It can even be said that Su Shuang's role was greater than that of most of Liu Jian's generals.
This time, Xun Yu was asked to serve as the governor of Youbeiping County, mainly to cooperate with Su Shuang's mining work in Youbeiping.
In Liu Jian's view, the development of mining in Youbeiping seems to have nothing to do with the war between Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun.
But from a deeper perspective, the development of Youbeiping Mining will play a very important role in re-dividing Youzhou's interest chain in the future.
The powerful people in Youzhou are more intertwined than the people in the Central Plains! This is mainly because it is close to foreign tribes, there are too many wars, and the controllable military interests dominate Youzhou.
But the weight of the actual political and economic interest chain is very low.
The chain of interests of a military nature has made various ethnic groups dependent on each other, and this has been maintained in Youzhou for more than half a century.
I want to break up and redistribute this interest chain, and let the local animal husbandry office headed by Liu Jian take control of the main interest chain... It's not that it's impossible, but it takes too much energy and hard work.
And if it doesn't go well, it might cause rebellion, which would be detrimental to stabilizing the situation in Youzhou.
It would be best if it could be solved in a relatively peaceful way.
If the government led by Liu Jian wants to surpass the military elites in Youzhou and take the initiative, it must make the cake bigger based on the original situation in Youzhou! The bigger the cake, the more benefits there will be, and new ones will appear.
distribution method.
In this re-division, Liu Jian's government, which had already planned ahead, was able to seize the biggest piece of the pie and at the same time seize the beginning of the interest chain of the various tribes in Youzhou according to the pre-planned plan.
In Liu Jian's view, the huge industrial chain behind the development of copper, iron ore and graphite resources is a huge cake.
Therefore, developing the mining industry in Youbeiping is the key to reintegrating local forces in Youzhou.
…
After some explanations, Su Shuang understood Liu Jian's intentions.
At the same time, he also knew how important Xun Yu's role was in the Youzhou integration plan.
At that moment, I heard Su Shuang say: "Don't worry, Su will do his best to assist Mr. Xunfu in completing his great cause in Youbeiping."
Liu Jian nodded with satisfaction: "Then I'll help you."
Later, Liu Jian gave Su Shuang some other instructions and asked him to leave first.
After Su Shuang left, Liu Jian looked at Xun Yu with a smile: "There are some things that Su Shuang and I didn't say clearly, but Wen Ruo knows it in his heart, right? I don't need to explain too much."
Xun Yu said: "Xun understands that Youbeiping is just a foothold, and in addition to minerals, farming, refugees, water conservancy, land transfer...these policies that have been implemented in Jizhou cannot be left behind in Youzhou."
Liu Jian nodded with satisfaction: "Hebei Business Association will support you in everything you do in Youzhou. This association seems to be composed of various ethnic groups, but in fact its final say and the main industrial chain belong to
Pastoral Affairs Department, if you have needs, just ask the Chamber of Commerce! There is no need to consider anything else... because this Chamber of Commerce belongs to me!"
"promise."
"In addition to political affairs in the North, you should also pay more attention to how to deal with Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun. Yun Chang and Yide have already gone to quell the rebellion. I will write a letter and explain to them what happened to you. You
After arriving in Youbeiping, I can write to them anytime if I need anything."
"promise."
"In addition, Wen Ruo, please remember that this right governor of Beiping is just a temporary measure. After defeating Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, I will report to the court and ask you to be the pastor of Youzhou."
After saying this, Xun Yu was immediately shocked.
He looked at Liu Jian in surprise: "Your Majesty, you want to declare to the court that I will be the shepherd?"
"Yes, Youzhou is located in a border county, and it involves the pacification of Xianbei and Wuhuan, and the subjugation of the Three Hans, Fuyu, and Yamatai. I think it is necessary to appoint two shepherds to coordinate the affairs of the entire territory before we can give it a go.
"
When Xun Yu heard Liu Jian say "two shepherds", he thought about it briefly and probably knew who the other person was.
If nothing else happens, apart from himself, the other Youzhou pastor Liu Jian wants to support must be Guan Yu.
Let Guan Yu partner with him, integrate the power of Youzhou, and carry out external affairs the next day, achieving great success.
only……
There was one thing that puzzled Xun Yu.
If Liu Yu and Liu Bei, including himself and Guan Yu, who are currently in Qingzhou, all become shepherds, then Liu Jian, who is a Shangguan for people like himself, will continue to serve as Jizhou shepherd... Or, in other words, is it appropriate to just serve as Jizhou shepherd?
?
Does Liu Jian still need to take another step forward now?
…
Afterwards, Xun Yu and Su Shuang immediately set off for Youbeiping according to Liu Jian's instructions.
Although Liu Jian is now in Yecheng, his heart is divided into two halves, half focusing on Youzhou in the north, and the other half focusing on Luoyang in the west.
Now the people who should be sent to Youzhou have been sent, and I don't know what is going on in Luoyang now.
Liu Jian decided to send an envoy to Luoyang to present Xun Yu as the right governor of Beiping.
One is to find a legitimate two thousand stones for Xun Yu, and the other is to find out the news about Luoyang.
So Liu Jian sent Guan Chun as an envoy to Luoyang.
…
Not long after Guan Chun left Yecheng, Lu Zhi came from Nangong to Yecheng to meet Liu Jian.
Liu Jian naturally welcomes the teacher's visit.
After all, he had been on the expedition for several months and had been staying in Yecheng since his return. He had not seen his mentor for a long time.
I just didn't expect that Lu Zhi's visit this time would bring shocking news to Liu Jian!
A piece of news that Liu Jian never expected.
…
"Teacher, are you going back to Luoyang?!"
Lu Zhi suddenly came to Yecheng, and Liu Jian guessed that something was wrong with him.
But no matter how hard he calculated it, he never expected that Lu Zhi would actually say such a thing to him.
You were staying well in Jizhou, so why did you suddenly go to Luoyang?
Lu Zhi has lived quite comfortably in Jizhou in the past few years and is in good spirits.
But now, there is obviously some worry in his brows.
"Deran, I think you also know that the emperor and Dong Zhuo are planning to move the capital... Although the ministers in the court strongly opposed it, the emperor and Dong Zhuo still defied all opinions and insisted on moving the capital. Dong Zhuo even threatened the Xiliang army.
It seems that the Han Dynasty is going to undergo unprecedented changes this time."
Liu Jian shook his head and said: "Teacher! Your Majesty has made up his mind to move the capital. What can you do if you return to Luoyang at this time? Can Teacher still convince Your Majesty not to move the capital? Impossible! Luoyang City is not peaceful now! Teacher at this time
If you go back, won't you make the students worried? Teacher, please don't leave!"
Lu Zhi shook his head.
"Deran, you misunderstood. In fact, I did not want to return to Luoyang to persuade the emperor... In fact, I received a handwritten letter from His Majesty ten days ago. It was not an edict, but a simple handwritten letter..."
Upon hearing that Lu Zhi had received the emperor's handwritten letter, Liu Jian felt a chill in his heart.
broken……
Although Lu Zhi told Liu Jian in the past that he wanted to stay in Jizhou to assist his apprentices to achieve great achievements and put down the heavy burdens and responsibilities on their shoulders, Liu Jian knew that deep down in his heart, his teacher was still thinking about Luoyang and the imperial court.
, thinking about the young emperor left behind by the late emperor.
"What did His Majesty say in his handwriting?" Liu Jian asked with an unkind look on his face.
Lu Zhi was silent for a long time, and then slowly said:
"Deran, if Your Majesty wants to move the capital, the important town of Luoyang must not be abandoned and must be guarded by capable people. Currently, Luoyang lacks a leader of Luoyang who can make Your Majesty feel at ease."
