When my mother heard that Cai Yong asked Liu Bei to meet him, she also came upstairs to tidy up Liu Bei's appearance.

He also told Liu Bei that everything should be done and not force it.

Liu Bei nodded with a smile.

The large-scale construction of the valley did not affect the city. Lou Sang was still peaceful and prosperous. Shi Huan brought more than a hundred heroes of Sishui to join the village, so that the embroidered clothes officials in Linxiang could be sufficiently in order to ensure peace. The thieves would have their own traitors and the thieves would be captured. The thieves would be handed over to the embroidered clothes officials. If they encountered a large bandit, thousands of tigers would be waiting for them.

Liu Bei can be proud of himself.

In order to prevent accidents, Liu Bei often traveled by car. The Imperial Car was transformed by the Marquis' Good Craftsman many times, and the inside and outside were no longer the same.

The guards of the school hall saw that it was the Hou Mansion to install a car, but they did not stop it and lifted the gate. They walked along the tree-lined avenue and arrived at the backyard, and parked in front of the monastery. Liu Bei got off the car, tidied up his clothes, and ordered someone to come forward to report.

Cai Yong came out in person to greet him, and Liu Bei hurriedly bowed down the steps.

Cai Yong also walked to the stairs with his rituals and asked Liu Bei to come in.

He took off his shoes and entered the room, and the guest and the host sat down. Cai Yong sat for a long time before he spoke: Can the young master know about the affairs of the Western Palace?

Liu Bei sighed: Bei has known everything.

In that year, Your Majesty first opened the West Mansion to sell official positions. He publicly sold official positions, and the offer price varies according to the official position. Officials with a salary of 2,000 stones were sold for 20 million yuan, and officials with a 400 stone were sold for 4 million yuan. Among them, those who were elected in order of virtue can pay half of the money, or at least one-third of the money. All the income from selling official positions will be set up in the West Garden to store them.

When I heard that the west residence had just opened, someone went to the palace gate to write a letter. I designated the position of a county magistrate and chief official in a certain county. According to the size of each county, the quality of the rich and the poor, the price of the county magistrate and chief officer varies. The rich and the poor buy the official positions of the poor after taking office. The emperor also ordered the left and right to sell the official positions of the three ministers and nine ministers and other court ministers. The officials sold 10 million yuan, and the officials sold 5 million yuan.

At the beginning, when the emperor was a marquis, he often suffered from poverty in his family. After becoming an emperor, he often sighed that Emperor Huan did not know how to manage his family property and had no private money. Therefore, he sold his official positions on a large scale and accumulated money as a private savings.

Cai Yong asked: This is a sign of chaos in the country?

Liu Bei nodded gently: Once this wind opens, the purgatory scholars and officials will be ashamed of being an official. The government is controlled by treacherous people, the rules and regulations are corrupted, and the etiquette is broken, and the music is broken. The money for buying an official will be plundered and regained ten or a hundred times after taking office. In recent years, disasters have been constant. The public is full of grievances, and they will be exploited again, and they will be in a very difficult situation. In the long run, there will be great chaos.

Cai Yong sighed: At the beginning, the young king and the mentor of the Hou, Chen Bashi: use good deeds (let the prefectures and counties to select virtuous people and apply them according to their talents), original bans (more pardons to the party and imprisonment), imperial robbers (buried the relatives of Queen Song who was innocent and killed), preparatory bandits (preferring preferential treatment for the family of the princes and kings to prevent accidents), cultivation (recruiting talented and virtuous people like Zheng Xuan), honoring Yao (selecting the county magistrate and governor on time), imperial robbers (stopping the bad habits of holding banquets and entrusting the officials to do a good job of recommending talents), and distributing profits (recommendation of the emperor without storm). Unfortunately, his Majesty does not accept it. Now it is even more serious and selling official positions and titles is publicly painful.

This passage seems calm, but it is like the four words that were unable to speak out in the end: "Heart of pain".

Liu Bei knew the emperor's nature well.

The reason why I tried my best to make money was because I was afraid of being poor since I was a child. Even if I was on the throne, I lacked a sense of security. My teacher said that Your Majesty should regard the country as my family. However, whose world is this? Is it aristocratic family, a relative of the Liu family, or a thousand people, or is it the Liu Hong (Emperor Ling) who is the world?

Liu Bei didn't know how the government fought.

I believe Your Majesty has his own answer in his heart.

Seeing Liu Bei silent, Cai Yong asked again: I heard that Shaojun Hou’s land was divided into one million, and all the refugees were divided into refugees. He did not take half a mu of his family. I wonder if it is true?

Liu Bei replied: There are more than 100 acres of beautiful land at home, which is enough for food and clothing. When my father was young, he was bedridden for a long time, and everything in the house was pawned and was as poor as a waste. The mother and son did not continue their meals and were often trapped by rice and grain. Later, they got a hundred acres of beautiful land and gradually improved. They used their own fields to build cities. They just wanted to make the mother and son in the world, and they did not have to be like my mother and son.

Cai Yong sighed: Both of them were poor when they were young. The young king and the lord could judge others by themselves. Cai Yong was impressed by such a mind. Yang Ci, the Guanglu official, once said: "The rainbow is thrown into the sky, and the sea is in chaos." The four hundred years of cycle is about to come. The world changes its masters and the people are in trouble. A few days ago, I heard from Liu Taiwei (Liu Chong) that Lu Zigan once compared the young king and the lord to Guangwu. I wonder if the young king and the lord want to promote the Yan Han three times?

Liu Bei saluted directly: Bei Zheng had this intention.

Cai Yong sighed with his palms, and tears were already flowing in the corners of his eyes: Since this is the case, I recommend myself and do my best to be a young man!

Before Cai Yong could bow down to the ground, Liu Bei hurriedly left the table to support him.

The lattice door of the side room was wide open. Three great scholars came out one after another and came to congratulate each other. Although Liu Bei was far away, he could not compare with the "Shi Kuang, and he could know the elegant meaning when he heard the strings and songs". He could not compare with Cai Yong, but he could know the intention to kill when he heard the piano. However, he was also known as the Qilin of the Tian Family. The three great scholars gathered together, and this made him realize something.

Cai Yong is a sinful person. It is not suitable to be arrogant. It is most suitable to teach when entering the school. Liu Bei asked Cai Yong to make up for his lack of teachers and teach in the school.

I heard that Cai Yong taught at Lou Sang Academy. There were endless people coming to study. Cai Yong was a great scholar in the country. His mentor also took his busy letters and told Liu Bei not to be negligent. Liu Bei replied that he said yes. He asked his mentor if everything was fine. If there was something missing, he sent it to Luoyang, and so on.

Lai Shui is not frozen all year round. The river is also open without any obstacles. Even if it snows in winter, a large ship still arrives at the Baihu Fort. A ship of ore, graphite, wool, cowhide, and turtle skin are brought. Fish sauce, sausage, dried carp, orchid ham, Dukang rice and so on are the essentials.

With the convenience of Laishui, even if the snow is covered with knees, the land will be cut off. Lou Sang can still travel north and south. Unless it is frozen in the cold and the Bohai Sea is frozen and cannot pass. On this day, a ship will turn back, saying that the Bohai Sea is frozen. So the last fleet entering the port can only stay in Lou Sang. When the snow melts and ice blooms next year, then return to its original home.

It doesn’t matter. The giant horses in the north and south are green and flowing. Compared with the relatively crowded Qingxi Port, Dukang Port can be moored a large ship of thousands of stones. Besides, the goods sold on the ships will not rot for a long time. Even Dukang rice will be stored until the spring of the next year.

So I lived on the boat with peace of mind, took the time to go to Lou Sang, and was also very happy.

Two thousand sets of ring-mounted armor were finally forged before the year. Lou Sangyan feather sword, fifty-sharp sabre, horn-head bow, body-defense dagger, etc., and a set of Lou Sang soldier armor was standard. The newly recruited Xianbei King Cavalry and Gaoche King Cavalry both replaced Lou Sang soldier armor. They practiced in turn in the martial arts field, and they all made progress. Both of the two king cavalry were tigers, but they did not know the battle formation and military strategy. The adoptive father Huang Zhong, the military Hou Xu Rong, Tian Gang, and other generals took turns to practice, and then entered the military school to study military military books, and their knowledge and practice doubled.

The La Festival is the beginning of the year, and the sacrifice time is close. The tail is connected, one end and one end. Therefore, these two sacrifices are called "Zheng La".

"The Records of the Han Dynasty in Dongguan·Biography of Zhang Yi": "After meeting with Zheng La, the ministers and ministers stopped the court and celebrated the New Year."
