"Liu Bei is not a good person!"

On October 20th, Guo Jia, who returned to Yangdi, cursed.

Chen Qun looked at him with disgust.

Xun You smiled and said:

"Fengxiao, you are also a famous scholar in the Central Plains, why are you so vulgar?"

Guo Jia was indignant:

"You don't know the scene at that time. Even though it was snowing heavily, he actually asked me to eat raw fish sashimi for three days! Is that thing... eaten by humans? Do you think so?"

Guo Shou, who was traveling with him, nodded repeatedly:

"This time my brother was absolutely wrong. Liu Bei's men were simply vulgar and ignorant. Apart from drinking, he would not do serious business every day!"

Chen Fei first glanced at the friendship on Guo Jia's head and found that not only did it not decrease before leaving, but it increased by 2 points. Only then did he feel relieved:

"It's been a hard time to run all the way. It's time for you to come back. It's about to start dinner. Just talk and eat."

Chen Qun laughed:

"Your Majesty is not ignorant. If there is delicious food in front of you, how could Guo Fengxiao have the intention to speak?"

Guo Jia glared at him and took a sip of warm wine in anger:

"Chen Changwen, I followed my lord to fight south and north, pacify the entire Yuzhou, and then went on a mission to Xuzhou from a thousand miles away from the wind and snow. You just live in a warm room and deal with some documents. What qualifications do you have to ridicule me?"

Chen Qun immediately stopped talking.

Although everyone has different positions and performs their own duties, what Guo Jia said is true after all. Compared to Guo Jia who has lost weight by running around, Chen Qun's work in the rear is obviously much more comfortable and safer.

Guo Jia was drinking while Guo Shou explained to him:

"Please be considerate. Liu Bei has two strong men, one Guan Yu and the other Zhang Fei, who are both drunk without a thousand cups. The two of them pull us to drink every day, just to get us drunk and then inquire about the information about the lord and Yuzhou! Another day, the elder brother was caught in a cold wind and did not want to drink too much. Zhang Fei actually started to be drunk and insisted that if the elder brother didn't drink, he would look down on him, and even danced swords in public, intending to threaten!"

With a "bang", Guo Jia punched the table.

Everyone's eyes were all focused on him. They thought he was going to say something, but they only saw him spit out the sip of wine he had just drunk.

"I will kill this rude Yan man sooner or later!"

Guo Jia wiped his mouth:

"I won't drink alcohol within a year!"

Chen Fei was speechless and had to lift his chin to the servant:

"Fengxiao has experienced such hardships during this trip. Go to the kitchen and get a few pig's trotters and elbows first!"

-

"It smells so good!"

Guo Jia, who had eaten pig's trotters, couldn't help but burst into tears:

"This is what people eat!"

Chen Fei was still speechless.

In his understanding, pig's trotters, elbows, and barbecue have never seemed to be of the same level of food as exquisite sashimi. But when he arrived at Guo Jia, it seemed to subvert his cognition.

However, this is very normal. After all, the cooking methods of the Eastern Han Dynasty were limited, and even the treatment of pork and mutton seemed a bit unprofessional. As a former owner of a small restaurant, Chen Fei was still confident in his cooking skills.

What's more, although the river seafood in this era has no industrial pollution, it cannot reach the level of later generations in bacterial disinfection, and it is easy to eat people to death!

Therefore, eating more cooked food is more hygienic and healthy.

Looking at Guo Jia who was eating voraciously, Chen Fei smiled and said:

"You came back a little suddenly, so today I didn't prepare much. I only made two main dishes of white-cut chicken, pork stew, plus a few side dishes, and a nourishing soup. You can eat it first. I have asked the kitchen to roast an extra lamb leg, which is only for you two brothers to enjoy."

The pasta fermentation technology in the late Han Dynasty was not yet mature, such as steamed buns and buns, so Chen Fei could only make ordinary noodles and noodles for the time being. After all, he was a Guangdong native in his previous life, and he was good at making soup and fish, but the pasta in the north was really not very good at.

"Well……"

After eating so much that he was soaked in oil, Guo Jia finally burped and started his work report:

"I feel like I'm finally alive!"

Chu Liang, who had already finished drinking the nourishing soup, shook his head and smiled:

"The long article is not wrong. During the meal, Feng Xiaozhen didn't say a word!"

Now Guo Jia is in a good mood and no longer cares about him, but turns to the topic:

"Apart from the fact that the food is not good, Liu Bei is pretty good overall. He smartly denied his position as the governor of Yuzhou, and only regarded himself as Pingyuan, Xuzhou. He was even more overjoyed about the suggestions of the lord alliance and promised to send a confidant envoy to come and formally sign a covenant with the lord."

Chen Fei nodded. All of this was as expected by him. After all, the situation in Xuzhou was critical. Being able to join him, both Tao Qian and Liu Bei were like holding a life-saving straw. Moreover, the straw looked quite thick!

“Can there be other gains?”

Hearing this question, Guo Jia smiled proudly:

"My lord understands me. When Tao Qian was seriously ill, he entrusted all the matters in Xuzhou to Liu Bei. Liu Bei is a man who is humble and kind on the surface, but he is very determined and can make friends with soldiers, and is deeply supported by the people. The two generals of Guan and Zhang under his command are all brave enough to be inappropriate. If Xuzhou is able to be rectified, he may not be able to look down on the Central Plains. Although the lord is now an alliance with him, one day he will become the enemy of the lord."

Chen Fei still just nodded. He knew Liu Bei better than those present.

Seeing him expressionless, Guo Jia suddenly lost his sense of accomplishment:

"Master, have you guessed it?"

Chen Fei looked confident:

"Tao Qian will die within a few months, and Liu Bei will win Xuzhou. After that, Lu Bu will be defeated by Cao Cao, and he will also flee to Xuzhou and rely on Liu Bei. Liu Bei treats people with kindness and kindness, and he will most likely be seized by Lu Bu."

Guo Jia opened his mouth and turned to Xun You:

"This is……"

Xun You also shook his head in shock.

Guo Jia looked at Chen Qun again, but found that the latter also opened his mouth wide.

In the end, Chu Liang, who was experienced, asked them about the doubts:

"The lord has been resting in Yangdi for several days and has never discussed with us. How do you know?"

Chen Fei had already made a response. He put on a mysterious and mysterious look and pointed to his temple:

"This is taught by Guigu and cannot be explained in detail."

The saying of "Guigu" was originally proposed by Guo Jia, but Chen Fei soon discovered that when he wins over his subordinates, he often plays an unexpected role, so he simply promotes it vigorously. As long as it is something beyond common sense, it can be pushed to this mysterious old senior, thereby applying some mysterious colors to himself.

Even the "Great Magician" Liu Xiu believes in Feng Shui, prophecy, and luck techniques, why don't he believe it?

Guo Jia suddenly felt a little discouraged:

"Since the lord can spy on the fortune of heaven, then... do I not need to arrange scouts and secret spies in various places?"

Chen Fei suddenly felt a little over-strength and quickly comforted:

"What I have spied is the general trend. As for the specific situation and strategy, you still need to work together. In the past year, you have followed me to fight south and north, and have successively sent envoys to Yanzhou and Xuzhou. It is said that you have worked hard and made great contributions. It is not enough to repay me if you join the army. From now on, you will be Sima of the East. All matters in the army have the right to inquire about it."

Guo Jia was slightly stunned and bowed:

"No, thank you for your mistaken love, and you are making up your efforts."

Chen Fei had prepared some remarks in case he was pushing the situation as before, but this time Guo Jia simply accepted the new position and looked mature.

So he said again:

"If there is a great chaos today, the rituals and music are broken, and I have occupied the land of Yuzhou. I should have promoted etiquette so that officials and people can know the ranks and inferiors and understand the importance of the matter. The main thing is to the officials. Therefore, I intend to reform the official system to adapt to the current situation."

As soon as he heard about the reform of the official system, Chen Qun immediately spoke first:

"I wonder if the lord has a constitution?"

As soon as he saw this famous child, Chen Fei thought of the future nine-grade Zhongzheng system:

"The official system we are now is somewhat complicated and unrealistic. One 2,000 stone is divided into two thousand stones, which is two thousand stones, which is more than two thousand stones. Moreover, the treatment of the lower-level officials is too poor, so it is inevitable that they will not do their best. In addition, the officials of prefectures and counties are often low and powerful, which is obviously out of place, so I want to innovate from three points."

Everyone was cheering up, and even Guo Jia put down the nourishing soup that he had not finished.

Only Chen Fei explained:

"First, reset the official rank and divide officials into ninth ranks, such as the first rank as the third rank, the general, the second rank as the ninth rank, the Shangshu Ling, the prefect, the Sili lieutenant, the general, the third rank as the county magistrate, the prime minister, the lieutenant, and so on... what's wrong?"

He saw that everyone looked a little strange and couldn't help but stop.

Chu Liang asked on behalf of everyone:

"Lord, the official system is the foundation of the government. Now that Your Majesty is still in Chang'an, if the lord wants to completely innovate the official system, he will definitely be on the target of public criticism!"

Even Chen Qun followed others to advise:

"Lord, Lord, Marquis/General, this matter is of great importance, please think twice!"

Chen Fei patted his thighs gently and finally reacted:

"You are right, I almost made a big mistake. If I have not yet left the tiger's den, how can I take the blame for the world? Or, you guys just think I have never said it!"

【If you are not careful, you will be rebellious directly!】

Seeing that he was "returned after being lost", Xun You and others were relieved.

But Chen Fei still did not completely give up his issue:

"Then let's carry out a small amount of innovation based on the Han system. I want to improve the treatment of all people, Sima, county magistrate, chief magistrate, and subordinate officials. Does anyone object to it?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
