Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1066 The ominous feeling
After entering the city, the soldiers who were responsible for escorting the Liu family said goodbye to Liu Kun and others under the leadership of their leader, and then went to the barracks outside the city to resume their duties. Soon, officials in charge of ceremonial affairs came over, taking Liu Kun and others with them. The people came to the inn and accommodation was arranged for them.

When Li Xu left, he said to Liu Kun: "The general is very happy to know that the envoy has arrived. He will hold a banquet at Baicao Tower tonight and will meet with the emperor later."

Liu Kun nodded in return and said, "Thank you, General, for your kindness."

As soon as the people left, he came to the table and sat down, sighing.

His son Liu Qun was sighing at the elegance and tranquility of the house. Hearing his father sigh, he couldn't help but ask why.

Liu Kun looked at his son, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "When I look at Youzhou, it is really a sign of great governance, and it may be a place where the Han Dynasty digs its graves!"

"Why did Father say this?" Liu Qun shook his head, "Although we didn't stop much along the way, the counties, villages and towns along the way were all living and working in peace and contentment. Not only did they not die of hunger, but they also had extra food. It's a sight like this. The frontier, even in the hinterland of the Central Plains, is unthinkable! This shows the general’s ability to govern the people!"

"The reason why Youzhou is so peaceful and peaceful for the people is also due to the powerful Xuanjia Army! All the bandits and horse bandits in Youzhou were wiped out by the powerful army. Therefore, the territory is peaceful, and you can't pick up things on the road, but you can stay open at night without seeing any bandits. The shadow of this! It’s the rule of three generations, I’m afraid it’s nothing more than that!”

"What's even more rare is that there are many constraints, which make the county officials very wise. In the previous county, you, father, heard the county magistrate's decision. Dossiers can be submitted, knife and pen officials have to record and file them, and they have to come down regularly to check them. Dossiers also have to be copied and handed over to the general’s house for storage and regular review. Because there is supervision, it is implemented. It is not a formal act, but a real policy of governing the people... "

……

As soon as he talked about what he had seen and heard on the road, Liu Qun was eloquent. Not only did he lose his rejection of Youzhou and the General's Mansion in his words, but also vaguely yearned for and looked forward to it, as when he first proposed to go north to find the Tuoba tribe. , simply two different people.

Seeing his son transformed into Youchui, Liu Kun's face became even more ugly. He interrupted his son and said, "We came from Bingzhou. How long has Bingzhou been occupied by the Huns? What is the scene like now?"

Liu Qun frowned, showing a look of disgust, and said: "Bingzhou used to be so prosperous, but after falling into the hands of the Huns, there have been wars all these years. The Huns are still wild. Even if there is no pressure from the court, they will fight, saying It was the establishment of a country, but the result was that there were still many tribes, and attacks between tribes continued. Even Liu Cong and Liu Yi had to lead people to confront each other, but they suffered for the families and people of Bingzhou!"

"The Xiongnu took possession of the land much longer than the Chen family, and now Youzhou is more prosperous than Bingzhou. This is a hidden danger." Liu Kun did not hide his worries at all. "It's not just here. There is chaos in Jizhou now. The family is divided, Qingxu is also in turmoil, and even Sizhou cannot escape the influence. However, Youzhou is prosperous, and people's hearts and destiny are likely to shift from a place of turmoil to a place of peace."

"What's the use of thinking about this?" Liu Qun seemed to look away, and instead comforted his father, "If this is a big trend, we can't stop it. If it is a small trend, there is no need for us to worry. Besides, Chen Shouyi is also Pengcheng. The Chen family is a Chinese Miao descendant, so it is better than the Huns and Jie people!"

Hearing the meaning revealed unconsciously in his son's words, Liu Kun sighed more and more, but knew that there was some truth in what he said, so he didn't continue to dwell on it, not to mention that the father and son had to start preparing for the meeting with Chen Zhi, and they had to first Put things away first.

In the past few days, although they didn't arrive in Ji County, Chen Zhi sent people over to express condolences one after another. These people brought a lot of things, which were put away by Liu's father and son.

When I finally got it, there were a few sweet potatoes in the box.

This thing was not sent by Chen Zhi, but was picked up by Liu Kun on the way.

Liu Qun packed up his things and happened to see his father's movements. He came over to take a look. When he saw this thing, he said, "Father, do you want to plant this thing?" Liu Kun nodded and said, "Yes, this thing is It’s amazing. The unique taste is second. The key is that the yield is not small and it can still survive in the harsh environment. The people of Youzhou can be rich. This product has great merit. If it can be successfully cultivated and promoted everywhere, wouldn’t it be a great good?”

Liu Qun disagreed and said: "Sweet potatoes have an average taste. They are either top-grade or popular. They will not be liked by the people and will not become popular. I heard that this product was promoted by the general's government. If not, ordinary people would not grow it. , it is not easy to grow this thing, it took Youzhou more than two years to stabilize."

"How can you take care of so many things when you are suffering from hunger?" Liu Kun regarded a few sweet potatoes as treasures. "Whether it takes time or is difficult to promote, this product is priceless. It is worth a try no matter what!"

Liu Qun saw that his father insisted, so he didn't say much. When everything was almost packed, they asked someone to inform them first, went to the general's mansion, and met Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi was busy with his affairs. When he heard Liu Kun's arrival, he put aside his affairs and came to meet him.

When the two parties met, it was just a greeting. Liu Kun originally had a lot to say, but he saw that Chen Zhi was busy, so he stopped his son from talking and left.

Chen Zhi asked politely to stay, and finally set a time for the evening before letting the guests see him off.

"Father, I spoke to the general, and he admired me very much. It's time to strike while the iron is hot. Why did you leave in a hurry? If the general misunderstands you and thinks that we are deliberately alienating, isn't it self-defeating?"

On the way back, Liu Qun seemed a little dissatisfied. In front of Chen Zhi, he had a face-to-face conversation with the actual controller of Youzhou. He was really excited. He was even more excited than when he met several clan princes in the capital.

Driven by the turbulent emotions, Liu Qun talked in front of Chen Zhi, talking about what he had seen and heard along the way, and the feelings derived from it. Not having fun.

But Liu Kun said: "That was the time when you showed your performance. If you really wanted to become an official in Youzhou and make a career, instead of talking about it in front of Chen Shouyi, you should find his anthology, study it carefully, and participate in the next meeting." Civil examination, this is the right path.”

Liu Qun's expression changed when he listened, and finally nodded. He felt that what his father said made sense, but he followed him and said unsteadily, "Should I also restrain myself at the dinner that night? No. Talk too much?”

Liu Kun shook his head helplessly and said: "If the general asks you during the dinner, just answer it. Don't talk about your own benefits, just praise Youzhou. If he didn't ask you, then keep silent. Even though Eat food and drink wine.”

Hearing this suggestion, Liu Qun was a little reluctant, but he knew that his father was knowledgeable, so he nodded in agreement.

Liu Kun felt relieved, but felt a little uneasy. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't find the reason. He just thought it was a new arrival and he was not accustomed to the local environment.

"Forget it, once you settle down here and have a place, it's time to ask about the situation in the court in the south."
