The faint fragrance of tea floats in the Hall of Qinzheng. The May breeze blows from outside, neither hot nor cold, which makes people feel refreshed.

After talking about the serious matters, Liu Jun asked Liu Rang some tribe affairs.

Although he rarely goes to Liujiazhuang, as King Jing, he is the real leader of the Liu clan.

Liu Rang is just his spokesperson in the clan.

In ancient times, it was normal to gather clans and live together, and it was also normal for large clans to bully small clans.

Individuals often rely on their families to live in the countryside.

Therefore, the clan is a shelter for survival for the clan members, and the words of the clan leader are more like the orders of their parents to them.

It was precisely based on this natural bond that he decided to train troops in Liujiazhuang and establish a clan army.

"Brother, is this picture real?"

While Liu Jun and Liu Rang were chatting, Liu Xuan had been standing in front of the "Global Map of the Worlds" and his eyes had never left.

The more I looked, the more curious he became, and he couldn't help asking.

"This is what Gao Hongyun gave to me, it should be true." Liu Jun walked behind Liu Xuan.

He didn't want to keep squatting on the prince's airs, not to mention that he is from the modern era and has no distinction between superiority and inferiority in dealing with people.

After getting familiar with Liu Rang's family, he treated them like friends.

"So, many countries marked on the picture are real. This is Fuyu Kingdom, this is Beiyan, our Jingzhou is here, and there are Nanzhou and Xizhou..." Liu Xuan pointed and said.

Liu Rang held the teacup and drank slowly. Seeing Liu Xuan going crazy, he snorted: "It's better if you study so well."

Hearing his father's words, Liu Xuan shrank his neck and returned to the chair to sit down honestly.

Liu Jun glanced at Liu Xuan, then looked at Liu Rang. Combined with Xue Changqing and Xue Shi, he thought to himself that in ancient times, he was indeed a strict father and kind mother.

There is nothing that is not afraid of his father.

After a smile, Liu Jun said, "It's better not to read those classics and history texts that govern the world."

Liu Rang almost choked out with another mouthful of tea, but thinking that Liu Jun didn't like studying, it was reasonable to say such words.

Sighing, he said, "Now our family has a close relationship with the prince. We can still live on the monthly money given by the royal family. But when I die, my descendants will never have such good fortune again. If we don't let him study and become an official now, we will probably starve to death according to his nature."

After saying that, he glared at Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan immediately lowered his head.

"Uncle Wang is wrong. He cannot be admitted to the officialdom by reading those sour Confucian scholars. If Uncle Wang can trust me, it is better to let Liu Xuan be a helper for me. I promise you, how about I seek an official position in the government office after he has passed the ceremony?" Liu Jun said.

Liu Rang was stunned and reacted, and almost jumped up happily.

No one knows his son better than his father. He knows very well that Liu Xuan is not a material for studying, and it doesn’t mean much to waste time.

Now that he can enter the officialdom without studying, he is naturally happy, so he said, "Then please help him more. If he makes the prince unhappy, just beat and scold him."

Then, he looked at Liu Xuan, "I'm not grateful to the prince, I'll have to be careful when I follow the prince in the future."

Liu Xuan has never liked to read those things.

I heard that I didn’t need to read anymore, so I scratched my ears and my forehead happily, bowed to Liu Jun and said, “Thank you, brother.”

Liu Jun nodded. During this period, he was alone in handling government affairs, managing the army, and finding ways to make money, and he had no time to be busy.

If this continues, I am afraid I will be exhausted.

So he has always been thinking about having a helper.

The most important thing is that this helper must be able to read and write.

In this way, he can teach him some contemporary knowledge at any time and assist him in doing things. It is good even if he can be a supervisor on his behalf.

After talking for a while, it was noon.

Liu Jun held a family dinner at the royal palace and had a meal with Liu Rang's family.

In the afternoon, Liu Rang and his wife and Liu Xuan returned to the residence in Jingyang City, and asked Liu Xuan to come to the royal palace every day to wait for the dispatch.

After seeing off the three people, Liu Jun relieved a little of the resentment caused by the dispute with Gao Hongyun.

This old thief is now missing, and he cannot stay.

Zhao Yuyan intervened in the morning and took the delaying plan, which had already bought him a buffer time.

Next, as long as Liu Rang finds a fuse, he can cut off his wings.

At that time, Gao Hongyun could not protect them.

However, before this, he needed to find officials to fill the gap, otherwise if there were a large number of vacancies, the government affairs of various governments in Jingzhou would be left untreated, and then there would be chaos.

This is why he left Gao Hongyun until now, in order to keep Jingzhou running normally.

Thinking of this, he went to the Guardian Mansion and told Li Ran about his decision.

"Although Gao Hongyun has bad intentions, he is not all wrong. Prince, if he does not impose taxes, the treasury will be really unsustainable. It is okay not to increase taxes for the time being, but he cannot do so." Li Ran's face was full of sorrow.

Gao Hongyun hit Jingzhou's fatal hole this time.

"The king has already made some trouble with money. Zuo Fu doesn't need to worry. Now he only needs to prepare a list of officials afterwards."

After waking up, he understood the crux of Jingzhou, so he was planning to make money.

Now he bets that he can make a lot of money in the near future.

Li Ran looked surprised.

He stopped talking about money, and thought about it, and he said, "It's difficult. Now the four prefects and the officials under the prefect are all his people. These officials have sold official positions and titles, and have won over relatives and friends to take charge of their official positions. Suddenly, all these people are removed, and the government will be paralyzed. As the saying goes, if all the killings are killed, the government will be destroyed. If no killings, Jingzhou will be destroyed.

"I naturally know the key points, otherwise why should I keep him Gao Hongyun to this day? Zuo Fu would still think about the candidates to fill the gap, and then take a few first." Liu Jun frowned.

Li Ran was also worried. The prefect was the head of the government. He could not convince the public without considerable reputation. He could not only discuss closeness and alienation like Gao Hongyun, but not eloquent and virtuous.

As he thought hard, a character suddenly appeared in his mind, and he said, "Prince, there is someone who can take the overall situation."

"Who?" Liu Jun was happy.

"Zheng Yuan." Li Ran said, "Although Mr. Zheng is over 70 years old, he was the prefect of Jingyang Prefecture. If he was not old, he would have had him. Mr. Zheng is knowledgeable and has a lot of disciples and former officials all over the world. If he had helped him, it would be no problem to make up for the lack of officials."

Liu Jun was stunned for a moment. Liu Rang had just mentioned it to him, but the little prince had very little information about Zheng Yuan in his memory, so he didn't care.

Now Li Ran also admires him so much. It seems that it is necessary that he still has two tricks.

"Zheng Yuan is the father-in-law of the king, Wang Uncle Liu Rang. When I go back, I will ask Liu Rang to go." Liu Jun shook his head and continued, "You can draw a list of official positions first. Then I will find a way to borrow some people from Zheng Yuan."

"Yes, Prince." Li Ran nodded.

After explaining this, Liu Jun stopped staying and turned around and left.
