Agents of the Three Kingdoms

State Shepherd's Mansion, hall.

Wang Lei looked serious, glanced at the people under his command, and said in an unhurried manner: "Leaving Jizhou for about a year, talk about what happened in Jizhou, and speak freely."

Du Ji served as the chief bookkeeper, and he was also an old minister next to Wang Lei. He was the first to speak and said: "During the year when my lord left Ye County, the weather in Jizhou was smooth and everything was on the right track. Generally speaking, we have a solid foundation. "

A smile appeared on Wang Lei's face, and he nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, Wang Lei's current team is the best in the world.

As long as Wang Lei does not act recklessly, even if he adopts the method of overcoming the problem, it is impossible to make a big mistake, and it will definitely develop steadily.Du Ji, Tian Feng, Jushou, Shenpei, Xin Ping, Xin Pi and others have sufficient ability to handle the government affairs of Jizhou well.These people are all talents who have entered the center of the country, and they are more than enough to handle Jizhou's government affairs.

After Du Ji finished speaking, Tian Feng continued: "In this year, I was mainly responsible for farming. After a year of reclamation, in addition to the original fields in Jizhou, countless new fields have been opened. Except In addition to the expropriated grain and purchased stored grain, the grain stored in the newly opened fields is enough for the army to be self-sufficient. There will be no food problem in the next two years with the one-year reserve.”

The fertile fields and thousands of miles in Jizhou, coupled with the favorable weather, will definitely bring a bumper harvest.

Historically, Yuan Shao managed Jizhou and fought against Cao Cao for years, without being held back by food matters.After Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao, the food in Jizhou fell into Cao Cao's pocket, which greatly solved Cao Cao's worries about the future.

Wang Lei nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.

Soldiers and horses go ahead without using food and grass, and when the food is guaranteed, there will be no worries in the war.

Wang Lei suddenly asked: "Have you returned the food that Cao Cao lent us?"

Tian Feng said: "It has been repaid!"

Wang Lei nodded, his eyes turned and fell on Xun Chen.

Xun Chen looked calm, and continued: "I am in charge of calling the world's great scholars to come to Ye County. Originally, the original plan was to exchange calligraphy, but after several discussions, it was changed to discuss the Tao, and let the world's great scholars sit and discuss the Tao. Qin , chess, calligraphy, painting, classics, history, Zi, Ji and other theories, and even astronomy and geography, etc., are all included in the scope of the discussion of Dao."

"The scope of discussing the Tao is so wide that it is unprecedented in the world."

"So far, there are already a lot of great Confucian scholars who have come to Jizhou."

"During this year, I traveled around and invited Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, Guoyuan, Xi Ji... and Sima Hui, Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan from the south who were invited by my lord, plus Hu Zhao and others are full of talents, and the event is unprecedented. These are only temporary statistics. When the day of the discussion comes, there will be more people, and there must be countless people coming out."

Xun Chen couldn't help clenching his fists, and said affirmatively: "After discussing the Tao, Jizhou will definitely become famous all over the world, become a gathering place of the world's most prosperous literary styles, and become a holy place for academics."

In the eyes, the expression is excited.

Xun Chen couldn't help but want to participate in this Dao Discussion Conference, but it's a pity that he is an official under Wang Lei's command.

Wang Lei praised again and again: "Good job! Mr. Xun is in charge, I don't worry."

After laughing, Wang Lei changed the subject and said: "The discussion of Taoism, whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, or classics, history, Zi, and collections, is the business of scholars. However, there is no distinction between civil and military. , or those who value martial arts over literature, are lame, and it is difficult to balance. Discussions on Dao and exchanges have become incomparably grand, I think, on this basis, add another item, discussion on martial arts!"

Wang Lei said solemnly: "All people with extraordinary martial arts skills from all over the world are called, regardless of their origins or identities, to come to Ye County, Jizhou to participate in the martial arts competition and arrange the ranking of the world's generals. Dazzling."

As soon as these words came out, a gleam flashed in Lu Bu's eyes.

Lu Bu clenched his fists, eager to try.Wang Lei's proposal touched on Lu Bu's itch.Lu Bu considered himself the number one general in the world, and believed that his martial arts were unparalleled in the world, but that was his own opinion, and he was not recognized by the generals in the world.

The world discusses martial arts, and it is absolutely impossible for a person with martial arts to refuse.

Anyone with martial arts will participate.

The generals in the hall were all excited.

Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, even Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and others were eager to try.

Xun Chen glanced at Dianwei, Lu Bu, and the others, knowing that Wang Lei's proposal was hard to refuse, nodded and said, "My lord's proposal, I also agree with it very much. After I go back, I will add one more item—the world discusses martial arts."

Wang Lei nodded and asked, "Discussion on Dao and Discussion on Martial Arts is about to happen, has the time been set?"

Xun Chen shook his head and said, "My lord has not returned to Jizhou, and there has been no decision."

Wang Lei directly made a decision and said, "Choose a date and make a decision. This is the recent matter."

"Yes!" Xun Chen said.

Wang Lei thought for a while, and then continued: "Discussing Dao and Lunwu is not a simple matter. Where to discuss Dao, how to discuss Dao, discuss martial arts, after Zheng Xuan, Bing Yuan and others, or the world's great scholars come, Where should I live...Everything, there must be detailed regulations, make sure there are, and it can't be a mess when it comes to discussing Taoism and martial arts."

When Xun Chen heard this, his expression became serious.

Before, he had been busy looking for people everywhere, and the details involved had not been finalized.

After Wang Lei mentioned it, Xun Chen remembered it in his heart and thought about how to deal with it.

Xun Chen stopped speaking, and said: "The army has undergone earth-shaking changes in the year since my lord left. The [-] soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion and the [-] soldiers of the Tiger Battalion have strengthened their training and adjustments. They are definitely strengths. Excellence. In addition, the standing army has expanded to tens of thousands of people. In addition to the troops stationed in Julu County and Ping'en County, as well as the garrisons in various counties and counties, the army in Jizhou will definitely exceed [-]. .To this day, Jizhou is no longer easy to attack.”

Wang Lei heaved a long sigh of relief after hearing this.

Leaving Ye County for Chang'an is to give Jizhou a chance to develop.

One year, whether it is long or not, is not short.However, for Jizhou, this year is very important, making Jizhou have a great development.

All sacrifices, nothing wasted.

Wang Lei took a deep breath, and said gratefully: "Very good, you did a very good job." With continuous praise, Wang Lei was very happy.After finishing speaking, Wang Lei asked, "How is the progress regarding the Order of Seeking Talents?"

As soon as these words came out, Ju Shou sighed lightly.

Jushou looked ashamed and said helplessly: "The lord went to Chang'an as a hostage, and many people didn't like the lord. Therefore, many famous people did not come to Ye County, but went to Bohai County to join Yuan Shao. In this year, countless talents were indeed recruited. , but most of the patterns are talents at the county magistrate level, and very few are talents from a county. The officials at the bottom are already very substantial."

"Hahaha……"

After hearing Jushou's words, Wang Lei couldn't help laughing loudly.

With this smile, Jushou suddenly became confused, unable to understand Wang Lei's intentions.Not recruiting talents is obviously a bad thing, how could it become a good thing.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu sat below, with the corners of their mouths raised, looking expectant.
