In early April, warblers are flying and grass is growing. Even in Jizhou in the north, the spring scenery is particularly bright.

Liu Qing had been in Bohai Kingdom for more than three months. During these three months, Xun Yu was busy rectifying the officials while also taking care of the salt affairs.

Liu Qing was not idle either and made many suggestions on the salt affairs.

The most important thing is the idea of ​​purification. Liu Qing doesn't know how to make salt, but he still knows the method of dissolving, filtering and removing impurities. When the salt-making masters have an idea, it's their business how to put it into production.

In order to reduce Xun Yu's burden, Liu Qing established a new salt official, which was regarded as a new position, to assist Xun Yu in managing salt affairs.

For the next arrangement, Liu Qing plans to detour to Anping and Zhongshan counties to check the reception status of the two counties.

Just when Liu Qing felt that everything was ready and ready to go, Xun Cai found him and said that his father-in-law Xun Shuang wanted to see him.

In Liu Qing's mind, a master of Confucian classics like Xun Shuang was as out of reach as a professor receiving a stipend, and Xun Shuang's unsmiling character made him reclusive.

Even the imperial court didn't dare to recruit him. If it weren't for the Xun family and his daughter, Liu Qing might not have caught his eye.

Liu Qing brought Xun Cai to pay homage to him. After the ceremony, the old man was still staring at a silk letter with rapt attention, leaving the two of them standing awkwardly.

For those who didn’t know, they thought it was Liu Qing Lai who wanted to ask for something.

"Father!" Xun Cai called softly.

Xun Shuang raised his head, looked at Liu Qing, and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have read the imperial edict again."

From beginning to end, he didn't even look at Xun Cai, as if Liu Qing had just entered the house by himself.

Xun Cai quit on the spot and just immersed himself in the scriptures at home and acted like a transparent daughter. Now, in front of her husband, he was treated like this. Xun Cai immediately stepped forward and pulled Xun Shuang's robe wantonly to prove his status as a daughter in the family.

.

Xun Shuang was unmoved and continued: "The imperial court ordered me to be promoted to Guang Luxun and serve in Luoyang."

Liu Qing also ignored Xun Cai's noise and savored Xun Shuang's words.

The imperial edict? It should be that Dong Zhuo started recruiting famous people in the name of the emperor?

In history, Cai Yong and Xun Shuang, the two father-in-laws, were recruited by Dong Zhuo to serve as officials in the court.

"What does father-in-law mean?"

"The imperial court has made several conquests, but they were all rejected by me. This time, I also made the same plan, but -" Xun Shuang suddenly turned around and said: "Although the king did not declare it to the outside world, I still saw it from Wen Ruona.

There are some clues. The king is helping the people of Jizhou and wants to extend justice to the world. He also needs his own strength in the court."

Liu Qing suddenly realized that Xun Shuang's intention was very obvious. He himself did not want to become an official in the court, but although Liu Qing was a big man in Jizhou now, he had no one of his own in the court. If Liu Qing needed it, he could do this.

.

Unexpectedly, Xun Shuang, who looked serious and unsmiling, could do this for himself. Of course, Liu Qing understood that doing this was for the Xun family and Xun Cai.

"My father-in-law is a talented man. If he can contribute to the country, it will be a great blessing for the man!"

Liu Qing expressed his support in a gentle manner. He understood that this was not only for himself, but also for the Xun family. Among the nobles in the world, how many people were as dedicated to the Han Dynasty as the Xun family?

Xun Shuang then looked at Xun Cai, as if the business was done.

"As a princess now, you should be a role model for the country's daughters. Don't act like you did before!" Xun Shuang lectured his daughter in front of Liu Qing.

"Whoever wants to be a role model, I'll be the one!" Xun Cai quickly put aside his old father and walked to Liu Qing's side.

Xun Shuang looked at it and shook his head. His daughter was so neglectful. Xun Shuang had been worried that King Bohai would be displeased. Unexpectedly, King Bohai was so broad-minded that he didn't care about it. Xun Shuang thought that his daughter was really lucky!

With everything in hand, Liu Qing, Dian Wei, Guo Jia, and their two wives went to Anping County.

Walking westward in the spring light, it is now the busy season of spring. In the fields beside the official road, you can see many people busy with farming.

"Feng Xiao, you are from Wei County, will the spring plowing there have any impact?"

"Lord, the influence is natural, but Wei County's problem is not big. Li Wen governs the county strictly. Except for some damage caused by the Black Mountain Army, the county has not had much impact. However, Zhao County has been widely poisoned by the Black Mountain Army. Many people in Zhao County

They were displaced and turned into refugees and fled to Changshan, so the spring plowing in Zhao County had a great impact." Guo Jiadao.

"In this case, Changshan should be called upon to help. It may be too late to cultivate wasteland, but there is good land and it must be cultivated."

"My lord, I'm afraid I need your support for this move. Most fertile lands are occupied by powerful families. I'm afraid Governor Guo doesn't have that much energy."

Liu Qing thought for a while, and it may be true. Liu Qing's current method is only to strengthen management of the land occupied by the powerful families under his rule, and must require farming, and more concessions should be made to the proletarian civilians he employs.

An evolved version of the county model.

Of course, no matter where they are, there will always be uncooperative thorns, and Liu Qing will turn them into negative teaching materials.

Nowadays, the world has gone against the grain, and it has finally been corrected. If you still insist that private property is inviolable, you are really ignorant of the current affairs.

To uphold righteousness and put an end to chaos is for the sake of the country, and the country of the Han Dynasty depends on the people.

Why is the world in chaos? The fundamental reason is not that the powerful annexation of land has caused the people to lose their means of production and become refugees, unable to eat, and finally have no choice but to rebel.

Liu Qing would face this problem sooner or later. Aren't the so-called heroes behind them exactly those wealthy scholar families who were greedy and endlessly expanding?

Liu Qing will defeat them one by one and then liquidate them one by one.

"If that's the case, then we have to hurry up!" Liu Qing said.

The Anping matter will be left entirely to Shen Pei and Zhao Yun. Since Tian Feng is in Zhongshan County, it should not be a big problem, so he should rush to Zhao County as soon as possible.

…

Five days later, Liu Qing rushed to Fuliu County in Anping because Zhao Yun was assigned to garrison troops there.

Liu Qing stopped at Nanguandao Road in Fuliu County and had no intention of entering the city.

Not long after, Liu Qing saw cavalry coming out of Liuliu.

"My lord! My lord!"

From a distance, Liu Qing heard Zhao Yun's call.

I saw him riding Juechen, leaving the rear cavalry far behind, and sprinted towards Liu Qing.

After not seeing each other for three months, Zilong looked a little excited.

Liu Qing dismounted, and Guo Jiadianwei also dismounted, separating behind Liu Qing.

Zhao Yun jumped off his horse and, wearing silver armor, ran quickly to Liu Qing, bowed his head and bowed.

"Zhao Yun meets King Bohai!"

"Zilong, get up!" Liu Qing quickly helped Zhao Yun up. For some reason, he felt that Zhao Yun was a little excited.

I haven't seen him in three months, so that's not it.

Liu Qing still held Zhao Yun's arms and said, "I am in a hurry to get to Zhao County, so I have to work hard to see Zilong!"

"My lord, what did you say? Now that my lord has returned to the country and is crowned king, I don't think the oath I made in my heart last year has been fulfilled, which brings great comfort to my life!"

It turned out to be because of this. Thinking of the past, Liu Qing also sighed. In the past, he went to Changshan to seek talents, but he did not see Zhao Yun. Then, Zhao Yun found Guangping and joined him. At that time, he was not only white, but also

Didn't show any strength.

Perhaps Zhao Yun chose to surrender at that time, more to repay his kindness.

"Zilong, did the battle of Anping go well?" Liu Qing asked.

"Although Wang Ji's army is powerful, it is defeated at the first contact with our army. If we take Anping County, we will fight again!" Zhao Yun said with confidence.

Today's Zhao Yun cavalry is the most powerful army among Liu Qing's armies. Not only are their horses carefully selected, but their weapons and armor are also equipped with priority. It is normal that the troops raised by Wang Ji are invincible.

Gu Qi

The conversation changed and Zhao Yun added: "Now Wang Ji is leading his army to garrison Xindu, and Lord Shenfu is trying to negotiate with him, but he was rejected. He plans to defend Xindu to the death."

At this moment, the judge also arrived.

Zhao Yun quickly introduced him: "My lord, this is Shen Zhengnan!"

"The judge pays homage to the King of Bohai!"

This was the first official meeting. Liu Qing let go of Zhao Yun, looked at the match visually, stood upright and accepted the gift.
