Ju Suo was taken aback. Repeatedly asked: "The lord still wants to promote Liu Bei."
Liu Bei's current official position is the literary work of the Chongwen Division of the Ministry of Etiquette. One rank lower than Yuanwailang. It is an official from Liupin. It stands to reason that the highest official of Nichinan County is the Nichinan Prefect. An official of the fifth grade. The official post Liu Xin is about to appoint Liu Bei is called Literary Promotion Envoy. It is under the jurisdiction of Nichinan County. Liu Xin just said. Two are not enough. Well, this literary promotion is at least an official from the fifth grade. That can be equal to Jun Cheng and Chang Shi. In the county government, he can be regarded as a high-ranking official.
Liu Xin smiled. Said: "This literary promotion doesn't need to give him any power. There is no need to deploy manpower. Even the school in Nichinan County does not need him to manage. But the level can be set a little higher. Just set it from the fourth grade."
Jushou said in amazement: "From the fourth rank. Isn't it half a level higher than the prefect. Since the promotion of literature does not need to do anything. Then give him such a high level what to do."
Liu Xin nodded and said, "It's not that you don't need to do anything. You can let him go to Nichinan County to collect styles."
Jushou asked with a blank face, "What does it mean to collect styles."
Liu Xin said without hesitation: "The so-called collection. It is to let him enjoy the great scenery of Nichinan County. Work hard to write a few good articles. When is a good article written? When will he be allowed to return to the Central Plains."
Liu Bei didn't read well since childhood. Although ambitious. This article is poorly written. Jushou heard Liu Xin's explanation. Could not help but laugh. Said: "The lord's meaning. The subordinates understand. That is to send Liu Bei to Nichinan for retirement. Haha. The lord can be regarded as benevolent to him."
"Old age. He wants to be beautiful." Liu Xin said bitterly suddenly. "Liu Bei has been reluctant to settle down. Doesn't he like toss. This time I will let him toss. Not only let him toss. I will also find someone to toss him."
Follow Liu Xin for many years. It was the first time for Jushou to see Liu Xin making such a big fire. It seems that Liu Bei always refuses to be convinced. Also entangled in Liu Bang's affairs. Finally touched Liu Xin Nilin. This is going to be true.
Jushou didn't dare to ask more. He got up and said, "Please don't worry, the lord. The subordinates will draft the order."
Liu Xin waved her hand. Said: "The first order can be issued immediately. The second order is not busy at first. I have already sent an 800-mile expedited letter to Feng Lie. Let him do one thing. Wait for Feng Lie. I got a reply. It won’t be too late to send a second order."
It was still dark the next day. Cai He waited outside the door of the prefecture. After the last time I went to Dawan and waited for the countries. Liu Xin promised that his official position has never been settled. He didn't dare to ask. I just look forward to people coming from the prefecture every day. But waited and didn't come. He didn't come to wait. It's finally around noon yesterday. The eldest sister Cai Yue suddenly came home. He also brought a letter of commission. It was an official document with the official seal. It turned out all night. Cai He is holding this commission. Failed to close his eyes.
Liu Xin asked Cai He to be invited into the study. Patting his shoulder affectionately. Said: "Cai He. From today on. You are officially an official of Dahan. Work hard in the future. Don't shame your sister and me."
Yesterday Cai He had heard Cai Yue talk about it. This time he was appointed as the Foreign Minister Wai Lang. I want him to travel to several countries on behalf of the big man. It's just that Cai Yue is not familiar with the names of several countries that Liu Xin said. Can't remember. Cai He couldn't help but patted his chest and said, "Lord Lord, please give me instructions. Which country will be sent this time. Cai He promises to fulfill his mission."
Liu Xin nodded in satisfaction. Said: "This time the mission is not very difficult. It is still the five countries last time. The Department of Foreign Affairs has no doctors. You just need to work hard. There is a future in the future.
Although it is still the last five countries as an envoy. But the situation is different. This time. In addition to serving as the envoy of the Dahan, Cai He. There is another important task.
now. With the powerful military display of the big man. Again, there are huge profits brought about by the opening of trade routes. The countries of the Western Regions have completely surrendered to the Han. The decree of the Western Regions Protectorate was unimpeded throughout the Western Regions. The big man's caravan walking in the Western Regions is like walking in the Central Plains. but. Over the past six months. Although the number of big Han caravans walking in the Western Regions was much greater than in the past. But their footsteps only stop in the Western Regions. Never stepped a foot forward.
Liu Xin knows. Dahan businessmen have always been cautious. It is difficult and difficult for them to go to unfamiliar countries to do adventurous things. Only someone else took the lead. Make sure it is safe there. These old treacherous businessmen will follow the trend.
This time Cai He traveled to the five countries of Dawan, Wusun, Kangju, Guishuang and Shendu. Will act as an envoy of the Han Dynasty. In addition, he led an official caravan of big men. because. Among the "Treaty of Shule" signed between Liu Xin and Dawan and the treaties that will be signed with the other four countries. The most important one is that the caravans of the big man must be allowed to pass and trade freely in these countries. If the big man's caravan doesn't go out. The treaties he signed with all his might is a piece of waste paper. There's no point.
Since it is the official caravan. Naturally, caravans are different from private ones. The caravan Liu Xin handed over to Cai He was except for the temporary recruits. There is also an elite guard selected from the flying tiger guards. Can guarantee the safety of caravans. This is also the reason why Liu Xin can dare to give Cai Jue a ticket. otherwise. If by any chance Caihe really made a mistake on the road. Liu Xin really didn't seem to tell her.
Of course. The bigger difference of this official caravan lies in the merchandise they carry. These commodities not only include silk and white porcelain that have been allowed to be bought and sold by private caravans. It also includes a large number of tea leaves.
Because tea is a thing even in Dahan. It is also just emerging. People in the West don't say they have drunk it. I'm afraid I haven't even seen it. and so. Liu Xin also specially arranged a group of young girls in the caravan who are "excellent" in the tea ceremony. These little girls are the family members of criminals who have been confiscated into official slaves. Said they are good at tea ceremony. In fact, it was just a few days of assault training. But there is no alternative. No matter how good this thing is. Others simply don't know what's the use. Who will buy it again.
After several days of careful preparation. Cai He finally held the talisman of the big man. With the official caravan embarked on the road to the Western Regions. And this time. Feng Lie also sent a reply from Jiaozhi.
In order to maintain the stability of the three counties of Cochin, Jiuzhen, and Nichinan. In the case that the Land Reclamation Corps did not formally take root in the local area. Liu Xin will not easily withdraw the 7th Army. but. As the commander of the second legion. Zhang Fei and Yan Yan no longer need to stay there anymore. Has returned to their station a few days ago. Now commanding the Seventh Army is the deputy commander Feng Lie.
Feng Lie was originally a barbarian. Although the barbarians in Jingzhou and the barbarians in Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Nichinan are not the same clan and clan. But there is not much difference in their habits. He stayed in the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen and Nichinan. Just over ten days. They fought fiercely with the leaders and elders of the local tribes. Small days live leisurely.
however. Suddenly received an urgent and urgent document from Liu Xin. However, Feng Lie was stunned. Liu Xin made an incredible request in the confidential document. But this request was issued in the form of an order. Feng Lie is a soldier. Military orders are like mountains. No matter how difficult it is. Just order it. He must also do it.
The command itself is simple. Just let him choose four local women. But the requirements for these four local women are extremely strict. Strict to a bit harsh. Leaving Feng Lie at a loss.
Liu Xin wanted Liu Bei to serve as the literary promotion ambassador from the fourth grade. According to the decree issued by Liu Xin's closest friends. Officials from the fourth grade are in the areas of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Nichinan. Must marry four local women as their own concubines. Needless to say. These four local women. It was Liu Xin who asked Feng Lie to find and arrange for Liu Bei.
right now. With the arrival of the Land Reclamation Corps. The power of the Dahan in the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Nichinan has been greatly consolidated. This is because the soldiers of the Nong Reclamation Corps are not prisoners exiled here as they used to be. They are all innocent net worth. Although they are farmers in the field. But most of the harvest in the field belongs to them. Not only that. They also receive a large sum of military pay every month. Such conditions. In poor rural areas such as Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Nichinan. Naturally, there is no worries about finding a wife. Local women are vying to marry these soldiers.
A few days ago. There is another good news. The Han Dynasty issued another decree. Not only these soldiers must marry local women as their wives. Even those in office must marry local women as wives and concubines. Thus. Many local women who were anxious to marry soldiers from the Land Reclamation Corps also watched. Even the status of concubines to those officials is low. But somehow it was counted among the rich. No need to work. There are others waiting. Where to find such a good thing.
and so. It has been half a year since the Dahan Agricultural Reclamation Corps stationed in Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Nichinan. But it is not difficult to pick four local women. It is easier to pick out four beautiful women.
But Liu Xin's first request was to choose four powerful local women. There is no limit to beauty and ugliness. This made it difficult for Feng Lie. Want Kong Wu to be powerful. It must be tall. The local women are mostly petite. This requirement alone. Let Feng Lie exhausted his thoughts.
Fortunately, these days Feng Lie fought fiercely with the leaders of various tribes. He is also the highest military officer in Jiaozhou area. With an order from Feng Lie. The tribes of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Nichinan counties are busy. in fact. Most foreign women are not as weak as Han women. It's just that it's not easy to reach Kong Wu's powerful standard. The "big net" was cast down. Among hundreds of thousands of people, only more than 30 women who met this requirement were found. It's just that the looks of these women are not flattering.
