Perhaps they heard the news about Liu Mo from the pavilion chief. Soon, the local county magistrate led a large number of officials and quickly came to greet Liu Mo.
When they arrived in front of Liu Mo, the officials, including the county magistrate, were all a little gray-faced. Their official status could not be seen from their clothes. When they came in front of Liu Mo, they
They also seemed a little restrained, except for their county magistrate. Although this magistrate was poorly dressed, his demeanor that was neither humble nor arrogant made him stand out from the crowd.
"Meet Liu Gong!"
Everyone bowed, and the people around heard it and talked for a while. Someone exclaimed: "Prince Liu Gong!" Everyone woke up this time. Suddenly, the people roared, shouted Liu Mo's name, and knelt down to worship him.
There was no one standing around or on the entire street. Liu Mo was shocked and helped up the county magistrate and others, and then asked them to wake up the people.
But the people could not afford to kneel down and kept calling for Mr. Liu.
Liu Mo walked up to an old man, struggled to help him up, and asked with some worry: "Do you have anything to tell? Are there officials who are oppressing you? Tell me and I will handle it myself!"
"Never..." With tears in his eyes, the old man held Liu Mo's hand tightly and said, "Four of my sons died of hunger, and three of my grandsons died of illness... After Liu Gong arrived, my whole family, old and young, was
But he survived because Liu Gong was so kind and kind, Liu Gong was so kind and kind..." Liu Mo sighed, called the county magistrate, and said, "If you are short of food or clothing, let me know.
I will help myself, so no one else will starve to death..."
"Here you go!"
After being busy for a long time, the common people watched Liu Mo leave and followed the county magistrate into the county government mansion.
Sitting in the study, officials from all over the county sat on both sides, lowering their heads, paying special respect to Liu Mo.
"Mr. Liu, we are disheveled and have come to pay our respects. We hope that Mr. Liu will forgive us!"
The county magistrate said helplessly, Liu Mo shook his head and said: "This dress is better than the three-gong crown dress."
Liu Mo began to ask questions. During this period, various places still had some free time. Since it was not the busy farming season, Liu Mo took time to travel around and personally visited counties and villages to observe the local situation and comfort the locals.
People, this is the last county seat and the most remote county seat. After Liu Mo asked about it, it turned out that there are still many problems that have not been solved here.
First of all, there is the issue of ferocious beasts here. The county magistrate mentioned that occasionally ferocious beasts will enter people's homes and hurt people. He plans to organize manpower to hunt them. This is one of the problems. There is also another problem here.
There are too few people, and no matter what you do, you need a lot of manpower to support it, and in this county, there are more than 10,000 registered households.
Liu Mo took his time and talked with them, reassuring them that he would find a way to solve these problems. The solution was not difficult. For the beasts, just call Zhang Liao and they could be solved. As for the population problem,
, but they have to find ways to let outsiders settle here.
In the evening, Liu Mo went out with them again to visit the local official school. At night, the county magistrate was just about to send him back to the county government residence. Liu Mo shook his head and said, "The county government residence is where the office is. I live there."
You can just stay at the inn...”
"But, this..."
"No problem, just ask someone to prepare a meal of fish for me!"
Sitting on the bed at the inn, Liu Mo carefully took off his shoes, revealing a pair of slightly deformed feet. His feet ached slightly. He couldn't help but rub them. The climate in Jiaozhou is indeed harsh. There are many swamps and mountains and forests here.
, he has been here less than five years, and his feet are almost unable to bear it. He is soaked in mud and water all day long, and he is busy running around all day long...
Liu Mo's face gradually turned sad. He turned sideways and lay on the bed, forcing himself to close his eyes and fall asleep.
However, after just lying there for a moment, he woke up with a start, sat up in a panic, covered his head tightly with his hands, and kept muttering in his mouth: "Printepora... Primpoteppa..."
.”
As he spoke, he suddenly coughed violently, his whole body was shaking, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and shrank down, but tears kept falling.

Luoyang
"Your Highness, Jiaozhou Dazhi, it seems that Master will be back soon..."
Sitting in the study, Zhuge Liang looked at the letter in his hand and said happily. Sitting next to him were Liu Mastiff and Sima Yi. Liu Mastiff asked curiously: "Jiaozhou Daji? Why have I never heard from the officials in the court?"
been?"
"Your Highness, Jiaozhou is far away. This letter was written by my master half a year ago and has only been passed to me now. Therefore, not many people know about the situation in Jiaozhou. What's more, my master is a barbarian and a great sage in the court.
How can you mention the great achievements of the barbarians?" Zhuge Liang said with some disdain. Liu Mastiff heard this and smiled and said: "Kong Ming, don't talk about Liu Gong like that!"
"Hahaha, Your Highness doesn't know that Master also describes himself in the same way."
Sima Yi sat quietly aside, shook his head, and said: "Liu Gong has been studying for more than ten years, sent envoys to all directions, killed thieves with his own hands, and made countless achievements. He just became the governor of two thousand stones. I think Kong Ming is much more powerful. Now he is
Having already achieved the rank of Prince Consort, Bi Qianshi, it seems that I don’t have to wait too long before I can surpass my master, enter the temple, and serve as the Third Duke..."
Zhuge Liang naturally heard something in Sima Yi's words. He did not want to give in and said with a smile: "That's right. However, for the position of Prince Consort and Commander of the Emperor's chariots, he must also be a well-mannered, well-groomed and good-looking person."
, Come to think of it, Zhongda will never be qualified for this position in his life..."
Sima Yi's face darkened, and Liu Mastiff raised his head and laughed. In fact, Sima Yi's appearance was not ugly, with a slender figure and extraordinary temperament. However, in front of Zhuge Liang, he was indeed far behind, especially when the three of them were traveling, Liu Mastiff
He looked like his mother, with a delicate appearance, and Zhuge Liang was even more handsome. He was the only one following behind, and he thought he was their personal servant.
"It's a good thing that Jiaozhou is under great rule and Liu Gong can come back soon... When he comes back, he will be happy to see Kong Ming get married and start a family!"
Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded.
When Yuan Shu's class started, several people immediately went in to listen to the class. Yuan Shu should have been teaching a long time ago, but his brother Yuan Shao rushed to Luoyang, so he went out to greet him. As for why Yuan Shao came, everyone did not know. They only knew,
After he arrived, he didn't even take a day's rest. He went directly to the palace to pay homage to the emperor.
At this moment, Yuan Shao was sitting in the Hall of Houde, respectful and respectful.
The emperor looked at Yuan Shao. Indeed, compared with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao was very majestic. He was handsome, tall, and behaved politely. No wonder so many scholars and celebrities followed him. The emperor nodded and said with a smile: "For a long time
No, I seem to be a little fatter."
"Your Majesty, this..."
"Originally, there is no need to be so restrained. Before the ministers, you and I are kings and ministers. In private, we are also good friends."
"Sincerely."
Although Yuan Shao said this, his expression was still very respectful.
"Original, I want to implement a new policy, but hundreds of officials are blocking it... What do you think?"
"I have few talents and little knowledge, and I dare not speak nonsense."
"It's okay, just tell me, what would you do if I asked you to be Sikong?"
Yuan Shao trembled all over and looked a little surprised. The Emperor secretly thought to himself that he was still worse than Cao Cao. If Cao Cao heard this, he would not even blink. However, the Emperor did not show it, but smiled.
Looking at him, Yuan Shao suppressed the excitement in his heart and said without thinking: "Of course I will do my best to carry out your Majesty's wishes."
"The New Deal is being obstructed by hundreds of officials. This is to resist the emperor's order. It is really inappropriate. If I were Sikong, I would definitely convince the officials to do it with all their strength."
"Well, okay, okay...then what do you think?"
While the emperor was asking, he explained some of the memorials proposed by Cao Cao to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao already knew in his heart that Cao Cao could no longer sit on the throne. The position of the Three Dukes that he dreamed of was waving towards him. Therefore, Yuan Shao listened very seriously.
, he was also more respectful to the Emperor, remembered the Emperor's words firmly, and expressed his own opinions from time to time.
The king and his ministers talked for several hours, until late at night, the Han family sent Yuan Shao away. When Yuan Shao left, his face was full of joy.
The next day, the emperor held a court meeting.
When Yuan Shao rushed outside the palace, the ministers were very surprised. They realized that after Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao would also move into the temple. They immediately came to visit and talk. It must be said that Yuan Shao was still very famous in front of these ministers.
In an instant, the number of people gathered around him exceeded that of Situ Luzhi, attracting everyone's attention.
Cao Cao stood far away, closing his eyes and concentrating, not participating.
When the time came, Lu Zhi led all the officials into the hall. When the emperor appeared, the emperor seemed not to be in a good mood, and his face was vaguely angry. When the officials saw it, they immediately stopped talking. They even impeached Cao Cao and asked him to cook.
They didn't dare to mention Cao Cao's affairs anymore. They didn't want to get into trouble when the emperor was angry.
"Cao Mengde!!"
No one mentioned it, but the emperor suddenly called Cao Cao.
Cao Cao stood up, walked to the emperor, and leaned down.
"Cao Mengde! Relying on my love, you dare to do whatever you want and bully your colleagues. How can you live up to my love!"
Cao Cao looked speechless and immediately confessed.
"Pull this guy out!!"
The emperor shouted loudly, and all the officials were so happy that they almost jumped up.
"No!!"
Everyone was shocked, even the emperor was stunned for a moment. The person who spoke was none other than Cai Yong. Cai Yong looked at the emperor, then looked at Cao Cao, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, how can you treat the three princes of the country like this?!"
Cao Cao was also confused. Doesn't this guy always compete with me? Why did he come to speak for me today?
The emperor's face gradually turned red and he said: "I wanted to reward him in the past, but you opposed it. Today, I want to punish him, but you still object. Are you sincerely trying to get along with me?"
"Your Majesty, I am impeaching Mr. Cao because his new policy is not good for the people. Although his intentions are good, he acted too hastily. And now, your Majesty wants to drive Mr. Cao away with the crime of bullying his colleagues and acting wantonly. Mr. Cao is not guilty.
His new policy has inherent shortcomings and is definitely not selfish. I really cannot agree with His Majesty’s treatment of the three ministers and his treatment of a diligent minister!!!”
Cai Yong raised his head, looked directly at the emperor, and roared loudly.
“Yes!!!!”
Zhang Fei behind him also shouted.
The emperor looked at the stubborn old man in front of him. For some reason, the anger in his heart gradually subsided. He looked at Cao Cao and said again: "Cao Cao is not good at governing, so he will be dismissed from office!"
At this time, Cai Yong returned to his seat, ignoring the angry looks of the courtiers around him, and sat down calmly.
"The Sikong in the country is of great importance. I wonder if there is anyone who loves you who has someone to recommend?"
"Your Majesty, I recommend Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, the governors of Youzhou!"
