Journey to the West: Swallowed the Transformation Pill at the beginning

Chapter 168 Everyone discusses reconstruction

"The second Zhang Jiao?"

Liu Bei recalled the teacher's words with a glint in his eyes, "If the Han Dynasty can use it, then Bei will be a county governor or governor to protect the country of the Han Dynasty. If it cannot be used, Bei will have to encourage him to live up to his expectations." That benefactor’s grace in teaching me skills on demand.”

Early the next morning, Liu Ming, who had not slept all night, yawned and walked into the study where Liu Bei was.

Liu Bei looked at Liu Ming's plan with shock in his eyes.

"Fourth brother, did you come up with all these ideas?"

Liu Ming nodded and said, "That's right, brother, please call the county officials to discuss how to implement it."

"Easy to say!"

Liu Bei rubbed his head and said, "I did some research yesterday and found out that most of the county-level officials in Pingyuan County were killed or injured due to the Yellow Turban Disaster. Now, except for you and me, Yunchang, and a bunch of low-level officials under my command, not all The positions of young masters are all vacant. I have asked Yide and Taimin to temporarily serve as the subordinates of the sect and the thief Cao of the sect. In this way, the history of meritorious service, the chief secretary, the court, the chief secretary's office, the young master's office, and the sect's secretaries are discussed. These positions of Cao are still vacant!"

"Can't you pick a few from the lower-level officials to fill in?"

"cannot"

Liu Bei said very distressedly, "Several officials at the bottom are already old, and their literary skills are limited, so they are not useful!"

"In other words, we now only have low-level soldiers and no middle-level officials?"

Liu Ming also had a headache after hearing this. As a result, the work of rebuilding the plains would be delayed for a long time.At this moment, a clerk rushed in and said, "Two adults, there is a visitor outside the door!"

When Liu Bei and Liu Ming heard this, they immediately ordered someone to invite him to the front hall to meet.The two of them immediately changed into a set of clothes and came to the front hall.

Upon seeing Liu Bei and Liu Ming arriving, the visitor immediately jumped up and said, "Brother Xuande, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

"Brother Wenxuan!"

When Liu Bei saw the visitor, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The person who came was none other than Li Ming, and beside him there were three or five men dressed as scholars, standing in the front hall.

"These are the ones!"

After Liu Bei exchanged some polite words with Li Ming, he looked directly at the men.

"I rescued a few scholars along the way. I was worried that you were short of manpower, so I brought them here!"

After listening to Li Ming's words, Liu Bei was overjoyed. He immediately brought the scholars to his study room for testing, and then asked them to temporarily fill several vacancies except for the main book.

At the same time, he ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of not luxurious dishes to thank Li Ming for his help!

At the banquet, Li Ming took this opportunity to express his request.

"Brother Wenxuan!" Liu Bei put down the wine glass in his hand and couldn't help but said, "Are you planning to join my army?"

After hearing this, Li Ming said excitedly, "Yes, didn't I say a long time ago that when Brother Xuande enters his official career, I will come over to help him?"

"With your medical skills and your cultivation at the master level, if you go to seek refuge with those governors of major states, I'm afraid they will all be treated as honored guests!"

Liu Bei said in confusion, "So why did you choose me, a little county magistrate!"

"Brother Xuande and the younger brother know each other well, so the younger brother is naturally willing to come and seek refuge with us!"

Li Ming put down his wine glass and couldn't help but said, "Isn't it possible that Brother Xuande has no place suitable for me?"

"Not for nothing!"

Liu Bei couldn't help but said, "It's just that there is only one vacancy left in Pingyuan County. The strength of the wise brother is a bit low..."

"No problem!"

Li Ming immediately agreed and said, "As long as I can have a position with Brother Xuande, no matter what I do, I won't dislike it."

Seeing Li Ming's insistence, Liu Bei no longer shied away and immediately arranged for Li Ming to be the new chief registrar of Pingyuan County.

In the afternoon of that day, Liu Bei summoned the middle and upper-level officials from the plains in the government office to discuss the plans in Liu Ming's plan!
After everyone looked through the plan, they looked at Liu Ming with a hint of admiration.

At this time, a scholar stood up and said, "Sir, although Prime Minister Liu Xian's plan is good, but now the county treasury and grain depot are almost exhausted, I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement this plan!"

"This is not difficult!"

Liu Bei took the gold cakes prepared early in the morning from his arms, and asked people to pull over the hundreds of bags of japonica rice and white noodles prepared by Liu Ming. , Bai Mian, and the remaining wealth and silk are ready to be sent to the treasury for emergency relief!"

Everyone looked at the gold cakes in Liu Bei's hands and the japonica rice and white noodles outside the house, and the pressure in their hearts suddenly relaxed a lot.

"In that case, let's follow Brother Xian's plan!"

Liu Bei continued, "Yunchang and Taimin, you two will lead a thousand soldiers to flatten all the bandits in the six bandit villages in Pingyuan County. If the bandit leaders commit evil, they will be killed on the spot. If they are not evil, they will find a way. Recruitment!”

Guan Yu and Guo An immediately stood up to accept the order and went out of the city to lead the troops.

At the same time, Liu Bei ordered again, "Wenxuan, I remember that in addition to medicine, you are also the most skilled in farming!"

"Not bad!"

Li Ming stood up and asked, "I wonder what your orders are!"

"I order you to take a thousand soldiers who are good at farming to reclaim wasteland for farming near the plains. Remember not to harass the people!"

"Leader!"

Li Ming stood up and walked out, Liu Bei continued, "Public power!"

Liu Ming stood up and accepted the order, "I'm here to serve you!"

"Please draft a notice to recruit refugees to build the ruined plains!"

"Impressive order!"

Liu Ming stood up and took the order and walked out. Zhang Fei watched several people walk out one by one, but did not mention that he immediately stood up and said, "Brother, what errand do I have to do!"

"Wide!"

Liu Bei couldn't help but said, "Your task is even heavier. Now you are the only general left in the city. When we first came to the plains, the security of the city is still unknown. Therefore, the security of the city can only be left to you!"

Zhang Fei burst out laughing after hearing this, "Brother, don't worry, as long as I'm here, you won't dare to have any bastards do anything wrong in this city."

After saying that, Zhang Fei also walked out.

Looking at Zhang Fei's back, Liu Bei sighed inwardly and waved his hand to signal the others to leave.

At the same time, Liu Ming returned to the room, and Huangfu Ying came forward and offered a cup of tea, "How is it? Brother, do you agree to your plan?"

"The execution has already started. Second brother and Taimin have already set off to suppress the mountain bandits. Wenxuan is responsible for going to the fields, and I am responsible for handling the city affairs!"

After Liu Ming finished speaking, he raised his hand to drink the tea and said, "Ying'er, you stayed with me all night last night, so you should go and have a good rest first!"

"Aren't you going to sleep for a while?"

Liu Ming shook his head and said, "It's too late. If the plain city walls and residential buildings are repaired earlier, I can find time to rest peacefully. What's more, my eyelids have been twitching these past few days, and I always feel like something big is going to happen!"

"what"

Huangfu Ying looked at Liu Ming's appearance, stretched out her hand to comfort her, "Perhaps you are too worried. Although the remnants of the Yellow Turbans are rampant, no trace of the Yellow Turban Army has been found in the plains!"

"I hope so!"

Liu Ming waved his hand, then stood up and walked out, "You should also be prepared. If something unexpected happens, you will be the only one left in the city besides eldest brother who can lead the troops to fight!"

After saying that, Liu Ming held his sword and rushed out.
