    The man who looked like a meat ball came up to him with an attentive look on his face and looked at Liu Ke attentively.

    However, Liu Ke had no impression of the man who claimed to be the governor of Zhuo County.

    He had no choice but to ask in confusion: "Who are you?"

    "Xiaguan was born in the Cui family of Qinghe. Last year, he was promoted to be filial and honest. Your Majesty was so gracious that he appointed Xiaguan as the prefect of Zhuo County.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that the war has always been in chaos before, and I have never been able to take office.

    Now, under the governance of His Highness the King of Chu, the world is at peace and the war has been eliminated.

    "So I want to"

    Before he finished speaking, Liu Ke understood what he meant.

    Presumably, this person is one of the people who were told by his subordinates to spend money to buy official positions.

    It¡¯s just that Liu Ke didn¡¯t expect that this person would dare to come to his door.

    Liu Ke is also very clear about his purpose.

    It¡¯s nothing more than seeing that Zhuojun is now pacified, and I want to pick up the ready-made fruit.

    It¡¯s just that these places are all lands that Liu Ke fought hard to conquer. How could they be given to him so easily?

    When Cui Yuan came to find Liu Ke, there were still many people looking at this place with concern.

    I want to see Liu Ke¡¯s attitude if he agrees to Cui Yuan¡¯s request.

    Within a moment, those who also spent money to buy officials would rush forward and divide the land Liu Ke had conquered.

    You must know that the people who bought offices at that time bought all the official positions in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

    Since it¡¯s not in your own hands anyway, you won¡¯t feel bad if you sell it, and you can still make more money.

    Liu Ke sneered in his heart, but did not answer him directly.

    Instead, he turned back with interest to Lu Xun, who came with him.

    "Bo Yan, what do you think?"

    Lu Xun was the governor of Youzhou, and Zhuo County was within his jurisdiction.

    Generally speaking, for governors, Liu Ke has expressed his gratitude to the emperor before.

    But this is just a formality, and it doesn¡¯t matter whether the other party admits it or not.

    But after all, Lu Xun is indeed the governor of Youzhou approved by the imperial court, and this cannot be changed.

    As soon as that meatball Cui Yuan heard that this person was his future boss, he immediately looked at him fawningly.

    Lu Xun is quick-thinking, and one look at Liu Ke's expression shows that he wants to play tricks on him.

    So he followed Liu Ke¡¯s thoughts and pretended to talk.

    "Your Majesty, my subordinates are incompetent. Although there has been no major war in Youzhou in the past year.

    However, due to the impact of the wars caused by the Yellow Turbans, Yuan Shao and others in the past few years, only three to four tenths of the population is left in the whole state.

    ¡° Moreover, there was a severe drought last year and the crops failed, so the people had no choice but to leave their homes and go to neighboring Bingzhou and Jizhou to beg.  "

    When Cui Yuan heard this, his expression changed instantly.

    He originally planned to plunder a lot of money after taking office in order to make up for the losses he incurred in buying an official position.

    Now that I heard how poor it was over there, I lost half of my interest.

    Hearing this, Liu Ke pretended to be angry and said: "Bo Yan, why didn't you report such a big matter to the lonely king earlier?

    "The people can't afford to eat, don't you know how to open a warehouse to release grain?"  Could it be that there is no food left?

    If this triggers another civil uprising, can you bear the consequences?

    "Say, what else do you have to hide from the lonely king?"  "

    Liu Ke suddenly burst into thunderous rage, startling the people who were secretly paying attention to the situation here.

    Lu Xun also cooperated very well. He was so frightened that he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he immediately knelt on the ground.

    "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

    Then Liu Ke¡¯s expression softened slightly and he said coldly: ¡°I won¡¯t be here to punish you during the meeting today.

    But now you must first explain the situation in Youzhou clearly to me!  "

    After Lu Xun stood up, he lowered his head and reported quietly.

    "Your Majesty, now, there is no food in the treasury of each county in Youzhou.

    Some of them were snatched away by hungry people, and some were snatched away by bandits.

    Because of successive years of natural disasters, some people could not afford to eat, so they turned into bandits and plundered everywhere.

    These bandits range from five to six hundred to tens of thousands, wandering around the territory.  This is especially true in Zhuojun, Daijun and Shanggujun.

    Since all the soldiers and horses were mobilized to the Central Plains, they were never completely wiped out.  "

    As soon as these words came out, Liu Ke¡¯s expression suddenly changed.

      "If such a big thing happens, what do you do as the governor of a state? I will be punished later by removing you from your position as governor!"

    Liu Ke¡¯s acting skills were so good that even his men were frightened, let alone the Chang¡¯an officials who didn¡¯t understand him.

    At this time, Lu Xun hurriedly said: "Don't be surprised, Your Majesty. I recommend someone who will definitely put this matter to rest within a year."

    "who?"

    Lu Xun suddenly glanced at Cui Yuan next to him, and he was frightened by the sight.

    Afterwards, Lu Xun said confidently: "This person is far away in the horizon, but right in front of you, he is Cui Yuan, the governor of Zhuo County!

    This person was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, with a well-established family background, and must have extraordinary talents.

    With this ability to govern, we will surely be able to quickly handle the current predicament.

    "Furthermore, I see that this man is tall and muscular, and must be a general."

    "After he takes office in Zhuojun, he can completely wipe out the bandits who are harming the local area with just one hand."

    I thought that when the bandits heard Master Cui's reputation, they would be so frightened that they surrendered.

    After Zhuojun is pacified, Lord Cui will be arranged to go to Daijun and Shanggujun. In this way, within one year, all three counties will be pacified.

    When the time comes, my subordinates are willing to give up their talents and give up the position of governor to Mr. Cui!  "

    After listening to this, Liu Ke finally nodded with some satisfaction.

    Then he looked at Cui Yuan and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Cui?"

    Liu Ke¡¯s words made Cui Yuan tremble.

    He knew how much Cui Yuan had weighed.

    It is true that he was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, but he has always been uneducated and cannot read a few Chinese characters.

    He is good at plundering the people, and he is asked to govern the place, but he has no ability at all.

    If that¡¯s the case, then forget it, the biggest problem is that you have to mount your horse to kill the enemy.

    ¡° Despite Cui Yuan¡¯s heavy weight, he can¡¯t even kill a chicken, let alone an enemy.

    When the time comes, you¡¯ll have to give away someone¡¯s head.

    He was unwilling to risk his life to take office, and the place he went to was still in a mess.

    At this moment, Liu Ke asked him for his opinion, and Cui Yuan immediately said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I have no talent or virtue, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take on such a big responsibility.

    "I, I am resigning from this official position, and I'd better choose another capable person!"  "

    After saying that, before Liu Ke could nod, he ran away in despair, for fear that the other party would really send him there.

    "Hey, Mr. Cui, don't leave. Gu Ke is optimistic. After the meeting, come to my Zhuo County and take up the post."

    Liu Ke shouted pretending to be anxious.

    But after hearing this, Cui Yuan ran faster without looking back.

    Liu Ke looked regretful for a moment.

    Then he suddenly turned around and looked at those people who were watching the situation secretly.

    "Who among you is qualified for this position? You can stand up now, and the lonely king will guarantee that he will be promoted to the governor of Youzhou within three years!"

    Unexpectedly, those people all turned back violently and no longer dared to look at Liu Ke.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
