Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 194 Studying in Beihai for fifteen days

It turns out...it turns out that Xun You also praised the "food house" in Nanpi County. Did he still recommend it to Xun Yu?

Liu Bian looked away, his face twitching slightly, and he didn't know what to say.

Dare you... Is Xun You also a foodie?He actually introduced the "food house" in Nanpi County to Xun Yu? ——With an arc at the corner of his mouth, Liu Bian skillfully led a group of people to the side room for dinner.

However, on the way to the side room, Liu Bian regretted it again: the dining room was still bustling with people, and it was quite lively. If he brought people to the dining room, wouldn't it increase the burden on the chefs? ——Had he known this, he should have taken Xun Yu and others to the wine shop managed by Hu Amei!

The largest wine shop in Nanpi County doesn’t want to show off too much, right?

Slowing down his pace, Liu Bian wanted to discuss with everyone whether he should go to a wine shop instead. Unexpectedly, he met several familiar chefs.

As soon as the chefs saw Liu Bian coming, they were all excited, but they were so attentive that they hurriedly invited Liu Bian and others to sit in the best and most quiet wing, and they also wanted to show off in front of their beloved little highness.Reluctantly, His Highness refused to give him any face and appointed Old Man Hu as the cook, leaving behind pieces of his heart.

Liu Bian laughed dryly, while Xun Yu smiled.

This was the first time that Xun Yu saw chefs vying to be enthusiastic about someone... Although this may be the most basic attitude of low-level chefs towards big shots, it did not prevent Xun Yu from keenly feeling that the chefs seemed to care about His Highness. Even if His Highness doesn’t need it.

What an eye-opener!
Xun Yu thought in a daze, and then couldn't help but recall which officials would be heartily loved by the people at the bottom.After thinking for a long time, Xun Yu remembered that there were indeed many of them, but looking at those characters, they were all poor scholars, Confucian scholars, or people with noble character.

Here comes the key point: Does this group of chefs respect His Highness, do they mean that His Highness... is not, as His Majesty said, "frivolous, without dignity, and not the master of others"?

...Liu Bian did not know that Xun Yu had also heard two or three pieces of Luoyang gossip from Xun You's mouth, including His Majesty's evaluation of Shi Hou when Shi Hou met with His Majesty for the first time half a year ago.

——I don’t know where these rumors came from, but His Majesty doesn’t care at all!

"Sir, would you like to have a taste of Nanpi County's side dishes?" Liu Bian's voice sounded in Xun Yu's ears, "...Do these side dishes suit your taste, sir? Will you get used to them?"

After regaining his composure, Xun Yu came back to his senses and saw clearly the dozen or so dishes of food placed on the table. He was almost dazzled by the sight: Your Highness is humble, this is not a side dish, it is clearly a table of delicacies, delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Even if compared with the most famous wine shop in Luoyang City, it is not inferior!

Xun Yu said: "Your Highness is overly worried. Wen Ruo thinks it will be delicious."

Liu Bian's eyes curled up and he invited: "Okay, Sir, would you like to have a taste?"

In this way, Xun Yu was lucky enough to have a very sumptuous meal in Nanpi County.

It made Xun Yu feel uncomfortable in his belly.

Finally, Liu Bian said goodbye to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, and took Xun Yu for a walk before returning home.

And when everyone dispersed, no one noticed that four more people came to the dining room.

Four majestic young men.

Strictly speaking, these four young men are more like military generals.

Moreover, the diners in the dining room only knew that these four people had only recently come to Nanpi County to participate in "daily long-distance running" training, to gain rankings, and to get some food and supplies.

If the diners knew that His Highness Liu Bian had brought people to dinner today, they might discuss the "great achievements" of these four people. For example, these four people came late and failed to catch up with the "Winter Long-distance Running" competition, but later " In "Daily Long-distance Running", he has won the top four results time and time again, which makes everyone a little jealous.

Furthermore, diners will lament that the "long-distance running" plan formulated by His Highness Liu Bian is very popular: refugees who are too poor in their hometowns and cannot survive vaguely heard that there are long-distance running activities in Nanpi County. Almost all those who move from Nanpi County move to Nanpi County... I believe that in a few months, the population of Nanpi County may double again.

I just don’t know if the county governors and magistrates of Jizhou will be jealous of His Highness when they see this situation.

It’s okay to be jealous!
Although His Highness now holds the title of Governor of Bohai in Jizhou, among the other counties and counties in Jizhou, no one can compare to His Highness!
Unless His Majesty appoints the pastor of Jizhou, His Highness's people in Jizhou can be said to be more than ten thousand people!

It's a pity that the diners didn't see His Highness coming.

His Highness Liu Bian also missed the discussions among the diners.

"Hey! I won today!" said the first young man, with a very unruly look on his face. "Gao Lan, you lost! I'm willing to accept defeat and treat you to a treat!"

The second young man curled his lips, his face full of dissatisfaction, but he accepted the defeat and hummed: "It's a treat, what's the big deal? - Yan Liang! Listen carefully, I will definitely beat you tomorrow!"

The third young man suppressed his laughter and comforted the second young man, saying hurriedly: "Don't think too much. If you don't want to invite me, I can do it for you."

But the fourth young man said: "Don't think about it! With the three of us here, you can't even think of winning!"

"Alright! Alright!" The third young man sighed, "You two are bullying Brother Gao Lan."

The first young man said: "Come on! Zhang Junyi, I really don't want to bully Gao Lan, so why don't you treat me to a treat?"

The fourth young man echoed: "Yes, yes! Zhang Junyi, do you dare to invite me?"

The third young man said nothing.

The second young man yelled: "Don't embarrass Brother Junyi! Yan Liang! Wen Chou! I, Gao Lan, am not one to refuse a treat... Come here! Serve the food! Want the most expensive one!!"

The second young man turned around and roared. After roaring, he looked at each other with the rest of his companions.

The four young men stared, no one convinced.

At first glance, do you think these four young men are like fire and water?

... After placing Xun Yu in good health, Liu Bian returned to his dormitory.

As soon as Liu Bian stepped into the dormitory, Liu Bian hadn't had a long rest when he waited for Xu Shu's report.

Sure enough, another letter came from Luoyang.

However, when Liu Bian received the letter from Xu Shu in a familiar way, he wondered: "Why is there only a letter from A Niu's genius doctor? ——Father, Queen Mother, and Uncle haven't written any letters?"

He waited for several days, not for the letters from his mother and uncle, but for the answers to his father's riddles - since the last time he wrote a reply to his father and wrote a few riddle questions, his father stopped replying to his letter. Got it!

Xu Shu looked at his nose with his eyes, his nose at his heart, and said respectfully: "I only received this letter for Your Highness."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Liu Bian was too lazy to write a reply to Zeng Aniu, so he waved his hand and announced, "How about you go down?...Wait a minute! Mr. Yuanzhi, have you been to "Beihai Academy"? "

"Beihai Academy?" A hint of longing flashed in Xu Shu's eyes, but he was stunned for a moment, "——Not yet."

"Mr. Yuanzhi, do you want to go?" Liu Bian asked.

Xu Shu was stunned.

"Ah?" After a long while, Xu Shu responded, "Can you go? - When?"

Liu Bian: "..."

At that time, Liu Bian had read Zeng Aniu's "letter for help":
"Your Highness:
I want to go back to Nanpi!Your Majesty is too difficult to serve!I can hardly stay in Luoyang any longer!Your Highness please agree! ’ After calmly collecting Zeng Aniu’s letter, Liu Bian said: “We’ll set off in March! Then I’ll have to trouble you to take the eight homing pigeons to Beihai... Can you do it?”

Xu Shu gritted his teeth and said helplessly: "Your Highness, I'm afraid I can't do it."

Liu Bian sighed: That's right!Nanpi County is indeed quite far from Beihai County. It is indeed too extravagant to bring eight homing pigeons there. Maybe it will be used as a meal on the way, which would be a big loss.

Holding his forehead, Liu Bian said: "As long as you take care of the feeding of the homing pigeons, I will take you there."

Xu Shu's eyes lit up, he cupped his hands and said, "I understand! Thank you, Your Highness!"

After that, Xu Shu lost his previous sluggishness and became particularly energetic and energetic.

Xu Shu resigned and left quickly.

Liu Bian watched Xu Shu walk like a breeze...

With a slight smile, Liu Bian patted the table and suddenly said: "He Xian."

He Xian appeared, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

Liu argued: "I would like to ask you a few questions."

He Xian said: "Your Highness, please speak."

Liu Bian first said: "Sir He, how long does it take at the fastest to get from Nanpi to Beihai?"

He Xiandao: "About 20 days."

"How long?!" Liu Bian's eyes widened.

He Xiandao: "It will take 20 days to hurry up!"

Putting his hands on his chest, Liu Bian said that it was too exciting, and it took so long!
Changing his mind, Liu Bian asked again: "How about taking the water route?"

He Xian pursed his lips and couldn't answer.

After hesitating for a moment, He Xian said: "Your Highness, not many people have tried to walk by water..."

Putting down his hand, Liu Bian changed his hand to hold his forehead, and said: "I understand... Is there no waterway? There are no conditions for sea routes?"

He Xian nodded cautiously.

Liu Bian felt tired.

I always feel... I always feel that he seems to have accomplished nothing in Nanpi County!

The road from Nanpi to Beihai is actually so blocked. It seems that he needs to build ships and develop sea routes!
However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is skinny: looking at all the craftsmen in Bohae County, none of them are shipwrights? ...Does this mean: He will vigorously recruit ship workers?

Nanpi County, will there be boatmen in Nanpi County? --Won't!Nanpi is not close to the sea!
If we really want to recruit boatmen, should we only have boatmen in counties close to the sea?
With a grimace on his face, Liu Bian continued to think: And the conditions for shipbuilding at this stage do not allow it?

At least he must be allowed to help the three counties of Fuyang County, Gaocheng County and Yangxin County under the jurisdiction of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to prosper smoothly. Only when he is rich can he be able to buy or build ships?
The weather in the three coastal counties that want to make a fortune from seafood is still cold. As a result, the seafood farmers on the seaside have to wait for one or two months until it gets warmer before they can vigorously breed them?
The most amazing thing is: the three counties can't develop the ship industry, but they can attract ships or boatmen from other counties-Beihai County is close to the sea, and the ship industry is developed... If he rushes from Nanpi to Beihai, while studying, he learns from If Beihai purchases a ship or hires shipwrights and orders them to sail from the sea back to the three counties, will it also indirectly improve the level of the shipbuilding industry in the three counties?
Biting his lip, Liu Bian walked back and forth, then sat in front of the desk, picked up a pen, and wrote down his itinerary:

"In March, we will supervise spring plowing in Bohai County. The grain industry must not be delayed!

In April, farming is no longer busy, so people in Nanpi County can go to school and learn to read!

In May, summer is coming, and the weather is warm, so you can farm seafood! "

Liu Bian stopped writing and counted the days with his hands: Assuming that he quietly went to Beihai to study in March, it would take forty days to go back and forth. Even if he wanted to return to Nanpi County early, he would not be able to come back until mid-April...

He is going to Fuyang County for inspection in May, so there are only 20 days left for him!
In addition, He Xian said that he would have to work hard to arrive in 20 days... If something unexpected happens on the way, maybe it will take more than 20 days? ——He forcibly set five days to deal with abnormal situations!Therefore, his normal period of study is:
Fifteen days!
"Fifteen days?" Liu Bian bit his pen unconsciously, and tried to carve out a little more time, but it was wrong: if he delayed it, he would not be able to catch seafood at that time, which would be too bad... not to mention According to historical records, his father Huanghui passed away in mid-May this year!
Assume that the trajectory of history remains unchanged.

Liu Bian: "..."

Ah!
He looked up at the ceiling, and only missed shouting: The timing is too tight!
Can he still farm happily and increase his strength?
It would be great if my father could hold on for a few more months... Wait a minute!
Father...his cheap father doesn't write letters now. Could it be that he is seriously ill?
His heart skipped a beat, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he became, and he quickly wrote a letter to Zeng Aniu:

"Zeng A Niu, the miracle doctor:

Tell me honestly, is my father seriously ill?Are you unable to save my father?
No matter what your father's condition is, please do your best to treat him!Even if it can't be cured, please delay my father's illness, okay?At least let the father not leave with regret! 』

After finishing writing, Liu Bian folded it up and said, "He Xian, hand this letter to Mr. Yuanzhi, and say that the king has changed his mind and decided to write back to the genius doctor Aniu."

He stared at He Xian and said word by word: "This letter cannot be seen by anyone, not even Mr. Yuan Zhi! You just keep an eye on it, keep an eye on Mr. Yuan Zhi, send the letter out, and then report back to the king."

He Xian responded without thinking: "Here!"

Then he carefully took the folded letter and respectfully performed the task.

After a while, He Xian came back and reported: "Your Highness, the letter has been sent safely. Mr. Yuan Zhi didn't read it at all."

"That's good." He waved his hand, signaling He Xian to step back.

He Xian bowed to Liu Bian and went outside the house consciously.

The house finally became quiet.

Liu Bian lay on the couch and fell asleep.

The next day, it was another day.

But it was the last two days for all the officials in Bohai County to take a bath.

All the officials in Bohai County care about the people and do not dare to use up the entire rest period before returning to their posts to start the new year's work: everyone must return to work early to get used to it for a day and understand the local conditions.

Therefore, eight county magistrates...oh~no!There are seven county magistrates - Shi Yue, as the magistrate of Nanpi County, does not have to set off and leave Nanpi County!The seven county magistrates took turns visiting Liu Bian and saying goodbye to him.

Liu Bian also told the other party in a timely manner: From now on, you will return to Nanpi County at the beginning of every month and come to the study room of Prince Bohai's residence to make regular "mission progress reports" as you did last year -

correct!Liu Bian will also hold meetings from time to time, and I hope everyone will actively cooperate!
Seeing that the Bohai Prefect was diligent and down-to-earth, the county magistrates were moved and promised repeatedly that they would not be absent. Then they packed their luggage, took the corresponding accompanying deputies, bid farewell to Nanpi County, and headed west.

Everyone left so fast that no county magistrate remembered that Liu Bian might leave Nanpi County and go to Beihai to study... This is great!

No one noticed it!

Patting his chest, Liu Bian was relieved and quietly approached Shi Yue.
