The summer is still peaceful and the grass has not yet stopped.

On June 2018, Liu Fan came to Anyi, Hedong to inspect the people's livelihood and politics in Hedong.

Liu Fan first came to Xiqinting, Yuwang Township to visit his fellow villagers, and the people supported him very much.

Later, he was welcomed into Anyi City by the prefect of Hedong, Wang Yi.

Although Anyi started with chaos, it ended with prosperity. Overall, it was much better than Sili County.

Liu Fan asked Wang Yi about the Baibo army in the northeast of Hebei, and asked whether the powerful families in Hedong had outstanding talents.

Wang Yi told him the dangers of Hedong and the aristocratic families in Hedong County, and Liu Fan knew it very well.

Liu Fan praised Wang Yi's achievements in governing Anyi for many years, and stated that he was the Marquis of Guannei to make an affirmation. He also released Wang Yi's military power. The five thousand county soldiers in Hedong Wang Yi could mobilize various counties at any time. All powerful people who violated the law and discipline had the right to take action first and then report.

Wang Yi expressed his efforts to consolidate the power of the prime minister for Liu Fan and benefit the people.

When he saw Liu Fan, Wang Yi sighed: The words of becoming a saint on the ground have come true.

After leaving the prefect's mansion, the head of the Wei family in Hedong came to visit Liu Fan.

Wei Ji was very helpful to the early stage of his career. Liu Fan did not forget this kindness and entered the Wei Mansion as a guest.

"Bo Ru is established by mistakes. Such talents as Bo Ru should show off his skills for the country, rather than burying his talents here! It is important to know that studying calligraphy articles is just a small way, for the country and the people, and for the great talents."

The entire Wei Mansion was surrounded by soldiers. Outside the lobby, Dian Wei stood in the hall, Liu Fan and Wei Ji sat opposite each other.

As soon as Liu Fan entered the lobby, he saw that the four walls of the lobby were covered with calligraphy and paintings. There were ancient Chinese, official script, and bird seal script.

Cai Yong's calligraphy is very exquisite, but Wei Ji's calligraphy has opened Liu Fan's eyes. The cursive style is slightly thin, and his calligraphy is based on muscles and bones.

No wonder Wei Ji was able to surpass Cai Yong in his calligraphy status in later generations and was called the "ancestor".

"I also have patriotism. At the beginning, the world was invincible. I was suffering from being in a state of mind and powerlessness. I could only understand the teacher's learning in the mansion."

Wei Ji poured a cup of tea for Liu Fan and spoke.

"Oh? What does Boru think of the current situation in the world?"

Liu Fan asked Wei Ji.

"The Prime Minister settled the frontier in the north and pacified Dong Zhuo. He was ordered to rule impartially. In just three or two months, the Sili in the ashes was restored and turned the Great Sorrow into the Great Sect. The political clarity seemed to return to the Jianwu period, which made the people happy. The internal army was repaired to bait the soldiers, and the external heroes were relieved to survive. When the time came, the Duke took the position of the Prime Minister, the position of the General, the responsibility of the King of Zhao, the entrusted emperor, the wishes of all the surnames, and the wars of the east and west, and the destruction of the unjust ministers. The general trend of the world was in the Prime Minister."

Wei Ji replied to Liu Fan.

"The princes in Shandong all day long want to make people emperors. The court is still there, but they attack each other. The imperial edicts from the court were like a piece of white paper. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are so disappointing. The most worrying thing is the land of Guanlong. Although Dong Zhuo is peaceful, the rest of the evils are still there, and they reject Guanlong. Li Jue, Guo Si, Ma Teng, and Han Sui seem to have ambitions. I am only separated from Guanlong, but I am really sad when I watch the people opposite the valley suffer."

Liu Fan drank all the tea in one mouthful and said with a sad face.

"In my opinion, the princes in Guanxi have no ambitions and none of them can dominate the world. The Prime Minister regards Hangu Pass as a small valley, so he will definitely have confidence to cross the Xiaogu. However, now that Li Guoxin fled to Guanzhong, he will definitely have the aggravation of Dong Zhuo's troops left by Guanzhong. He will blatantly threaten the troops, and Li Guo will definitely join forces with Ma Teng. Han Sui strongly resisted. The Prime Minister can take the expedient measures to give Li Jue, Guo Si, Ma Teng, Han Sui titles and official positions. After they are stable, there will be no major changes. At this time, the Prime Minister can take the opportunity to repair the three armies, one from Hedong, one from Hongnong, and the other from Huashan. The army suddenly attacks and is vigorous. As long as they overcome the whole journey, Guanlong can be pacified."

Wei Ji gave him a familiar knowledge to Liu Fan.

"I never get tired of deceit in the army, okay! Boru can tell that there are 10,000 elite cavalry in my county. If possible, I can still mobilize 30,000 Hu cavalry in Shuofang and Wuyuan."

Liu Fan nodded and praised this plan, which was even more perfect.

"If this is the case, Guanlong is at your fingertips. However, there are many Guanlong Qiang, Di, and Hu. It has been more than ten years since Duan Taiwei pacified Qiang. In the turbulent times, Qianghu and Hu are in chaos. Among them, Qiang and Yin Pingdi are the kings. There is no news about the Hexi Corridor. Once you enter Xiliang, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Li Jue, Guo Si are the second. There will be many difficulties in pacifying Yongliang!"

Wei Ji had no idea about Liu Fan's military arrangements, but he had lived in Hedong for many years and was very clear about the Guanlong land separated by a river.

"I govern Sili. Although it seems quiet, it is in secret. I have been to many township counties and counties. I have found that some county officials and county officials are not deliberate. They are just afraid of my power, restrain themselves, and do their best to do their best. This power will gradually weaken over time. It is important to know that this is the case for people. A wise man like Dong Xuan and Yang Zhen is only one in a million. I just asked right now. I already know the martial arts of the king, and I have already made a decision to pacify Guanlong. Now I want to ask for help!"

This time, Liu Fan personally poured a cup of tea for Wei Ji and asked him.

"The country is like this, and the laws and regulations are loose, which caused disasters during the Huanling period, which led to disasters. Nowadays, local officials despise laws and regulations, and thieves are unscrupulous in harming the country. The state knows it but does not correct it. Where can the people of the world get justice? I have heard of the former Nanyang prefect Yang Xu's hanging fish and resists bribes, and even the capital of the late emperor listed him as the minister. I deeply found that Yang Xu was a capable minister, and refusing bribes only showed his integrity. During his tenure as Nanyang prefect, he innovated the administration of officials, suppressed the strong and suppressed violence, promoted profits and eliminated the disadvantages, promoted frugality, and had a strong reputation in politics. This is worth learning from by the officials of the world. I have always regarded Yang Xu as the ancient Yang Zhen.

.” Wei Ji said to Liu Fanyijing, saying to Liu Fan: "Criminal law is the most important tool of the country, and is often despised by officials and replaced by subjective assumptions. The officials in the prison should be held by people who are clear and fair in the law, and often because of the rulers' contempt for them, they are not human. This is an important reason for the failure of the king's government and the defeat of the country. Wei Ji believed that the "Nine Chapter Laws" of the previous Han Dynasty should be restored, and the law should be added on the basis of the "Nine Chapter Laws", and officials should be appointed to transfer ministers to the ministers, so that both the people and officials understand the law. Not only can subordinates report the chief officials, but also the people can report officials. Rule the world with law!"

"Good, Bo Ru analyzed the pros and cons and said things that others dare not think of. Although I don't know how to make a decision, I think Bo Ru was right. It's just that I need to end the civil strife, and I need to fight for many years, and to recruit refugees and allow the people to have enough food and clothing. This requires countless financial support, which is a very difficult problem."

Liu Fan asked Wei Ji again.

Today my colleagues have a dinner party and drink, but there is no more. I will make up for it tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
