Chapter 31: The Great Leap Forward in Youzhou (Five)

After the Youzhou recruitment list was posted, the world was in a big uproar. At that time, not only was the class rank very strict, but the road to becoming an official was also very narrow. Each county could only give one filial and honest person every year, and this filial and honest person was a preparatory official. Of course, the court would still recruit him as an official. However, Youzhou now does not come from a family background, and as long as he has talent, he can become an official. How could this not allow people in the world to flock to him? Xu Shu had to interview dozens of people and hundreds of people every day, which made him feel overwhelmed. In the end, Yan Bin had to let Guo Jia and Xu Shu take charge of the recruitment matters and share Xu Shu's workload.

The first talent that Youzhou really recruited was Yan Bin's teacher Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo, who was practicing medicine in Jizhou at that time, heard that Yan Bin had become the governor of Youzhou and posted a list of recruitment. Thinking of the agreement with Yan Bin that year, he brought Fan A, Wu Pu, Li Dangzhi and other disciples to Youzhou. Yan Bin was naturally overjoyed about the arrival of Hua Tuo and several brothers. Hua Tuo was named Director of Youzhou Health Department and Dean of Youzhou Medical College. Fan A, Wu Pu, Li Dangzhi and others presided over the daily work of the first hospital in the Han Dynasty and the Youzhou Minsheng Hospital. It was also stipulated that all practitioners in Youzhou must participate in the assessment set by Hua Tuo every two years. Those with qualified results are issued medical licenses, and it is strictly forbidden to practice medicine without a license. Yan Bin also added full-time officials responsible for medical and health work in various counties in Youzhou. He was exploring and establishing an effective health prevention system.

Out of caution, Yan Bin asked Hua Tuo to take the pulse of Huang Xu, Zhou Yu and Guo Jia. After Hua Tuo took the pulse, he nodded to Yan Bin and said, "Yes, Bin'er, your diagnosis is correct. All of them have congenital deficiencies. Huang Xu is congenital heart failure, Zhou Yu is congenital liver problem, and Guo Jia is congenital lung problem. After training in the Wuqin Opera, they have improved greatly now."

While prescribing the prescription for three people, he said to them: "You are no different now, but the root cause of congenital deficiency has not been completely solved. Therefore, you must maintain the training of the Five Animal Play every day. You should not take more medicines for you, and take them once every five days. You should know that it is three parts poisonous, but it will be bad if you take too much. As long as you maintain the training of the Five Animal Play and take medicine for another 2 years, I promise that your body will be as strong as a first-class general in two years.

Two months later, Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family, and Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family, came to Youzhou. Yan Bin welcomed them in a general fashion, gave them enough face, and hoped to dig out more money from their pockets to supplement the finances of Youzhou. Therefore, Yan Bin held a grand welcome banquet. Relevant officials in Youzhou, such as Tian Feng, who was responsible for money and grain, Ju Su, who coordinated the military farming, Tibetan tyrants, Chang Shi Zhou Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, who stayed in Fanyang, and others all attended the banquet. Faced with the enthusiastic Yan Bin and the high-ranking officials of Youzhou, Mi Zhu, and Zhen Yi, who had only been small officials, were also very moved.

Next, Yan Yan and Sun entertained Mi Zhu and Zhen Yi. Soon, Mi Huan and Zhen Mi reached an agreement on marrying Yan Bin. After Yan Yan and Sun told Yan Bin the result, Yan Bin was a little amused and irritated. Because Mi Huan was fine, she was only one year younger than Yan Bin. Zhen Mi was not even one year old and was just a baby now.

After discussing many preferential conditions for the Zhen family's business in Youzhou, Yan Binli sent Zhen Yi out of Fan Yang back to Jizhou. Mi Zhu was retained by Yan Bin on the reason that Xuzhou was far away from Youzhou and it was not easy to stay for a few more days when he came.

In Yan Bin's study, Yan Bin, father-in-law Tian Feng and brother-in-law Mi Zhu had a secret conversation. Yan Bin first said to Mi Zhu: "Brother Zizhong, what do you think about the situation in the world and the future of Xuzhou?"

Mi Zhu pondered for a while before hesitating: "I have a feeling that it seems that I will be in chaos again soon. But I can't explain the specific matter clearly."

"Brother Zizhong, you don't know that among my many teachers, the miraculous doctor Hua Tuo is also one of my teachers. Now Hua Tuo is the director of the Health Department in Youzhou. From the perspective of a doctor, Your Majesty may only have a lifespan of 4 or 5 years."

When Yan Bin said this, Tian Feng and Mi Zhu were both shocked. Yan Bin smiled bitterly and said, "I know that such news must be too shocking, but I promise you that I am sure to say this. So I asked Your Majesty to exempt Youzhou from taxes for 5 years, because Your Majesty could not receive it after 5 years."

Tian Feng hurriedly asked Yan Bin: "Bin'er, if His Majesty dies, how will the situation in the world change?"

"It seems that the world is peaceful now, but once His Majesty dies, the two princes are left behind, and they are young and cannot suppress the situation. Then the conflict between the relatives and eunuchs will inevitably break out. In addition, the root of the Yellow Turban turbulence has not been cleared, and the local officials hold military power, and the dispute over whom to make the emperor is said to be the beginning of the chaos in the world. Compared with this, the Yellow Turban turbulence is simply not worth mentioning."

Looking at Tian Feng nodding slowly and Mi Zhu with a terrified face, Yan Bin continued: "The richest place in the world is now Xuzhou, but Xuzhou is a place of four battles, and there is no steep terrain to support it. It seems that the Danyang soldiers are among the few elite soldiers in the world, but Xuzhou does not have a good general to lead the Danyang soldiers. So sooner or later, Xuzhou will be full of wars and will not be conservative. Brother Zizhong, I advise you to slowly transfer your property to Youzhou. Although Youzhou has a harsh climate and is located on the border, the current Youzhou is strong and powerful, with strong civil and military talents, and more than enough to protect yourself."

Mi Zhu said half-believingly: "The Mi family has lived in Xuzhou for generations, and it is difficult to relocate if the family is big and the business is big."
