The winter of the fourth year of Chuping seemed particularly cold. Except for Gongsun Zan who killed Liu Yu early in October, there were almost no major wars in various parts of the Han Dynasty.

There were two earthquakes in Sili area within two months, and heavy snow occurred in the north and south of the Yellow River. Faced with such a harsh climate, Chen Fei had to disband the troops early and allow most of the soldiers to go home for the winter.

Chen Fei himself also returned to Yangdi and accepted the imperial imperial edict from the court on the third day of the 12th month.

Those who arrived in Yangdi with the official position of "Prefect of Yingchuan", of course, also Chen Qun, the eldest son of the Chen family in Xu County.

"Chen Qun greets the Lord of the Mansion!"

Chen Qun only glanced at Chen Fei and immediately bowed to the ground.

Chen Qun: Friendship level 2.

Chen Fei just glanced at the other party's name and immediately became happy. He bounced up from his seat, took a step forward, and helped him up with both hands:

"Sir, don't have to be so polite, just sit quickly."

Chen Qun did not rush to sit down, but took out a roll of bamboo slips from his bag:

"Before leaving, Guanglu Grand Duke Jia asked me to transfer this slip to the Duke, and I would like to ask the Duke to take a look."

Chen Fei was not surprised too much, so he quickly took it with both hands, tore open the sealing mud and started reading.

The content of the letter is not complicated, it has about three meanings:

First, he expressed his great congratulations to Chen Fei for defeating the Yellow Turbans and gathering Yingchuan, and encouraged him to continue his efforts.

Second, he praised Chen Qun's family background and personal abilities, and hoped that Chen Fei could reuse it.

Third, I tactfully expressed that although I was in the mourning period, I could also give Chen Fei a suggestion through letters, hoping that when Chen Fei encountered important things, I could notify him as much as possible...

Chen Fei could only express his powerlessness in this regard. Now he has been promoted to "Prefect of Yingchuan", he does have a total force of more than 15,000 people, including more than 300 cavalrymen. However, with the current road traffic conditions, he still cannot contact Jia Xu, who is two thousand miles away, in a timely manner...

After reading Jia Xu's letter, Chen Fei still asked:

"After all, it is roughly stated in the letter. As seen in the long article, what is the recent situation in Guanzhong?"

While Chen Fei was reading the letter, Chen Qun had already talked with Guo Jia, an old acquaintance. When he heard the question, he immediately corrected his expression and replied:

"Report to the court, the emperor, Sikong Yang Wenxian (Yang Biao) was dismissed, and Taichang Zhao Zirou (Zhao Wen) succeeded..."

After hearing one sentence, Chen Fei felt dizzy - although he had studied with Jia Xu for half a year, he did not remember the names of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers at all, so these famous bigwigs in his heart were all passers-by A, B, C and D...

Fortunately, Chen Qun seemed to have noticed this, and soon ended the narrative of registering a dish name, and instead opened up another topic:

"Before I left, Li Guo and others drank and celebrated all day long. These people did not know how to govern the country, and they did not care about people's livelihood. Last month, the heavy snow in Guanzhong, and no less than a thousand people died due to house damage. My father was still my father. Wen Hegong and others advised His Majesty before they could repair and deal with it. This year, due to war, the farming business has been severely delayed. Wen Hegong predicted that there will be famine in Guanzhong next year..."

Guo Jia nodded:

"The counties in Yingchuan actually have this problem, especially Yingyin, Linying, Yingyang and other counties. A large amount of money and grain were robbed by the Yellow Turban thieves. Fortunately, the county lord, oh no, the prince defeated the bandits in time and saved the food and grass of the northern counties. As long as there is no major change after the spring, there should be no famine."

Chu Liang agreed:

"If it weren't for the Lord of the Heavenly Lord, Yingchuan would probably have starved all over the world next year and change his sons to eat each other! For the entire Yingchuan, the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the People saved at least hundreds of thousands of lives!"

Chen Fei wanted to wave his hand to thank him, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he was not wrong to praise him. It was because he killed He Man and was originally planning to besiege Xiang County that the Yellow Turban Army in his father's city would leave without a fight, and half of Yingchuan's county town was protected.

So Chen Fei accepted Chu Liang's flattery and made a reward with the opportunity:

"Mr. Chu's words were deeply appreciated by me. I was immediately promoted to the Prime Minister of Yingchuan County and took office today."

Chu Liang was stunned at first, then quickly glanced at Guo Jia, and then he stood up to salute while increasing his friendship:

"Chu Liang thanked me for the promotion of the Lord of the House!"

Chen Fei smiled and said:

"I haven't finished speaking yet. If my dean remembers well, the county magistrate has recommended filial and honest positions every year. Prince Chu assisted the dean with hard work and excellent moral character, and has a good reputation among the people. Our dean is willing to recommend you to Chang'an as the candidate for filial and honest candidate this year. Don't let my recommendation down."

Chu Liang's whole body trembled, and his right foot, which had been disabled since childhood, softened his right foot and actually fell down directly, and he was overwhelmed by the whole body:

"Thank you...Ming Gong!!!"

His voice was obviously trembling, and three bytes actually made seventeen or eighteen tones!

What Chen Fei could see... was the number on his head, which rushed from 50 to 100!

Chen Fei accepted his gift frankly.

Recommending it as a filial and honest person means gaining the most official identity, and its political significance is far greater than that of the county magistrate!

According to the official customs of the Eastern Han Dynasty, from then on, Chu Liang was Chen Fei's disciple and old official!

If Chen Fei unfortunately died early, Chu Liang, a disciple, would need to wear mourning for him, and even escort the coffin back to his hometown!

When Chu Liang knelt on the ground to perform a big gift, Chen Fei also noticed that Guo Jia and Chen Qun, who were sitting on the side, looked at each other tacitly, and the friendship on the two of them jumped slightly.

After completely bribing Chu Liang, Chen Fei turned to other subordinates:

"Wang Chong, Yangdi is the foundation of our founding family, and its importance is self-evident. I want to temporarily take over the position of Yangdi County Magistrate, are you willing?"

Wang Chong, who was just a sect official three months ago, was obviously scared by this gift bag and waved his hands on the spot:

"Mr. County, ah, Duke! The villain only has brute force and doesn't know a lot of words. How can he manage Yangdi for you? Please send another gentleman to stay in Yangdi. The villain is willing to follow the Duke to fight to kill the enemy!"

Chen Fei was a little stunned. He did not expect that there were really people in this world who were unwilling to be an official. After thinking for a while, he could only agree:

"You are self-aware, okay. Since you are willing to go into battle, then you will be freed from the Yangdi County Magistrate and stay with me to lead the troops."

Wang Chong, whose official position was removed, was not appointed to a new position, but he obviously didn't care. Instead, he bowed to Chen Fei with relief:

"Xie Fujun!"

Chen Fei shook his head and turned to another county lieutenant:

"After Wang Geng County Magistrate, after Wang Chong left, you will be responsible for the overall defense of Yangdi City. Never be careless."

Geng Qiang nodded vigorously:

"Abide by the order!"

Chen Fei did not forget the position of Yang Zhai Ling:

"Chief Chu, you are most familiar with Yangdi government affairs, so I'm sorry to temporarily take over Yangdi Order as the county magistrate. The so-called capable people work hard, thank you for your hard work."

Chu Liang hesitated too:

"Ming Gong, the imperial court has always had three laws on selecting officials, and county magistrates are not allowed to be held by local people..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Fei:

"Now is an extraordinary time. I should use extraordinary methods. I also want you to avoid the official position in Yuzhou and go to Jingzhou or Yanzhou to serve as the county magistrate, but... I don't have the ability!"

Chu Liang lowered his head and smiled. Of course he knew this truth. Such a reminder was just a routine.

Chen Fei said again:

"The Guo family and the Chen family are both famous families in Yingchuan, so you should not be wronged. I would like to worship Xiao as Gongcao and Changwen as the chief clerk. You two must work together to cooperate with the Chief Chu Junzhu to handle government affairs."

"Appoint me."

Chen Qun immediately bowed to take the order, but Guo Jia was half a step behind.

I saw this genius slowly leaving the seat and bowing slightly to Chen Fei:

"Report to the Lord of the House, when Guo first came to his post, he had already expressed his disgust with the complicated government affairs and was unwilling to handle documentary matters. I beg the Lord of the House to understand."

Chen Fei's mouth twitched a little uncontrollable.

His first reaction was... Guo Jia, once again, wanted to humiliate himself?

But after observing Guo Jia's reaction and looking at the friendship on his forehead, Chen Fei finally confirmed that this young strategist might really hate serious official duties.

So he let out:

"Since you are not willing to be burdened by civil affairs, I will let you serve as the marching sir, give me advice and counsel on military affairs. What do you think?"

Guo Jia nodded and bowed:

"Thank you, Fujun, for your understanding, I am very grateful."

Looking at the unmoving friendship on his forehead, Chen Fei couldn't help but pinch his fist.
Chapter completed!
