Chapter 240: Calculating Yuan Shao
"Duangyu, where is Xu You now? How many people are there?" Liu Yao asked.
"Just in an inn not far from the research institute, the number of people is about 200. Does the lord know Xu You?" Ju Su naturally knew what Liu Yao wanted to do when he saw Liu Yao's smirk.
"Hmph! Even the inn I chose is close to this research institute. I really want to make some moves." Liu Yao thought to himself, and then smiled and said, "I don't know you. But when I was in Luoyang, Xu You was called the fourth young master of Luoyang, together with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the three of them. That name is quite big. Although I don't know you, I know that Xu You is greedy for money, and we can use this to do some work."
Jia Xu heard this and said, "Does lord want to give gifts?"
Liu Yao laughed and said, "Haha, it's not bad, Wenhezhi's intentions, it's not bad, I really want to give gifts."
Xu You was greedy for money and went to give him gifts, regardless of whether he was taken or not. As long as he was seen by Yuan Shao's subordinates, it would definitely reach Yuan Shao's ears. With Yuan Shao's personality and the fanning of Guo Tu, who was inconsistent with Xu You, he would not believe it at that time.
Of course, Liu Yao did not think that there would be any major chaos under Yuan Shao's command. He just wanted to plant such a seed in Yuan Shao's heart, which might be useful in the future. In history, Xu You betrayed Yuan Shao during Guandu, and threw himself into Cao Cao's command, burning Yuan Shao's food and grass, which made Yuan Shao defeated. It can be seen that Xu You is not a loyal person. At that time, perhaps this Xu You will become the last straw that crushed Yuan Shao.
"Mr. You, this matter is left to you. Remember, you should give gifts to Xu You in your own name. And it must be hidden and not allowed to be seen by too many people, but there must be seen by someone. Do you understand?" Liu Yao said with a treacherous smile.
Ju Su's eyes flashed with a glimmer when he heard this. He was naturally a smart person, and naturally knew Liu Yao's intention to do this. If Liu Yao had made a big fuss to give Xu You a gift in his own name, then Xu You would probably not dare to accept this gift in full view of everyone in order to avoid being suspicious of Yuan Shao.
Among the two hundred people Xu You brought, there would definitely be Yuan Shao's confidant spy. After all, with Yuan Shao's personality, it is really difficult to fully trust a person. Especially Yuan Shao is also aware of Xu You. Naturally, he would send people to protect him while also sending people to monitor him.
But if he gave it to him in the name of Ju Su, with Xu You's greedy personality, as long as no one saw it, it would definitely be recycled. As for the two hundred people that this incident brought to Xu You at that time, he would naturally tell Yuan Shao about it. Is there any difference between Ju Su and Liu Yao giving gifts to Yuan Shao?
"No." Ju Su said, "Lord. I have a good candidate. It would be the best time to do this."
"Yeah?" Liu Yao was also interested and asked curiously, "Who is it? Have I seen it before?"
Ju Su shook his head and said, "No, this person is the housekeeper in my house, named Wang Bo. Three years ago, I saw him fainting from hunger on the roadside, so I rescued him back. Later, I found that this person is steady in his work and has a very good eloquence, so I kept him by my side and now he has become the housekeeper in my house. Just let him go this time?"
"Wang Bo, haven't you heard of it?" Liu Yao thought truthfully, and then asked with some doubts, "Dong Yu, is this person reliable?" Liu Yao was naturally a little worried about this. After all, he had only been with Ju Su for three years. If it was arranged by someone else, it would be a little bad.
Ju Su said with an appraisal, "Please rest assured, lord, in the past few years, I have sent someone to monitor Wang Bo's every move, and I have worked diligently and never made any mistakes."
Liu Yao nodded. He was very convinced of Ju Su's vision, and said, "Then let him do it according to your wishes. If it is done, you can use it in the future."
"Thank you, lord." Ju Su said gratefully, "Lord, there is another thing that you must make you decide."
Liu Yao frowned and asked, "What else?"
"The Luoyang court had sent people to Youzhou a few days ago. One of them was to reward Ma Tengtianfeng and the officials under the lord. I have taken over this matter on behalf of the lord. As for another thing, I hope that after the lord has pacified Wuhuan, I can send troops to attack Dong Zhuo and rescue the emperor." Ju Su said with some sneer. It is ridiculous to have a casual reward and want the lord to work hard for them.
Liu Yao also had a hint of anger in his eyes, he sneered and said, "These Huangfu Song and Yang Biao are really old enough. Now they are unable to protect themselves, and they are still thinking about rescuing my little brother. Besides, I, Liu Yao, will soon be married. It won't be long before they can congratulate them together, but they still want me to send troops at this time. They really think that Liu Yao is easy to bully me."
Ju Su saw Liu Yao's anger and thought that Liu Yao wanted to attack the envoy, and persuaded him, "Lord, no matter what the Luoyang court did, they still have an open identity. Even if they have no strength at all, or they are completely useless. But the lord is still not suitable for them to have a falling out."
Liu Yao was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and smiled and said, "Young Master, you misunderstood. How could I do this? I'm going to do this. A few days ago, Luoyang was once again plundered by those more than a dozen princes. I'm afraid that the food will be out of stock now. You and you allocate 20,000 stones of food and grass from our granary and sent it back to Luoyang with the so-called envoy to alleviate their dangers. As for the attack on Dong Zhuo, tell them that I, Liu Yao, have my own opinions and they don't need to worry about it."
Over the years, Youzhou has been harvesting year by year. The 20,000 stones of grain and grass are nothing to Liu Yao. But for Luoyang now, it is a life-saving treasure. As for the matter of sending troops, it is unnecessary to think about it. Liu Yao also wanted to use the 20,000 stones of grain and grass to block the Luoyang court's mouth.
"No." Ju Su said respectfully. He naturally agreed with Liu Yao's decision. Now he has entered the period of the princes fighting for hegemony. To a large extent, it was like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The court was just a name. As long as you don't tear them apart, it's enough. As for following the rules, it's probably only a fool who goes back to do this.
"Public, what's going on now in our Youzhou College and Medical College?" Liu Yao asked Ju Su.
"There are many students in the School of Literature and Medical College. They have supplemented a lot of fresh blood for our lower-level officials in Youzhou. Most of them are poor and poor families because they are grateful to their lord for giving them this opportunity to study. Therefore, during their term of office, they are all conscientious and do their best to do their best. Some of the better political achievements are much better than those who have been officials for more than ten years."
"As for the medical school, with the efforts of the miracle doctor in Huashen, more than a thousand doctors have become masters. Except for some who have continued to stay in Jixian to continue teaching apprentices, the others have been sent out. Now there are many doctors in every small county in our Youzhou county that have opened this clinic, which has greatly reduced the number of ordinary people who died of illness in our Youzhou." Ju Su said with some joy. He was really impressed by Liu Yao's decision to open the Third Hospital of Youzhou a few years ago. No matter which one it is, it has a huge effect.
Liu Yao nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and said, "Since the third Youzhou Hospital is playing such a great role now, I decided to expand it. What do you think, teacher?"
Hearing Liu Yao's words, everyone looked at Cai Yong, who had not spoken aside. Although Cai Yong had no official position, he was also worthy of their respect as Liu Yao's father-in-law and the president of Youzhou Academy, not to mention that he was a great scholar of the world.
