Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Kuai Liang poured a cup of tea for Wang Can, and said with concern: "The Marquis Xiang asked you to ask for food from the envoy. After you leave, listen to the envoy's tone. I'm afraid the matter of food will be difficult. If you go back and report to your order like this, Will the Marquis of Xiang be punished?"

Wang Can felt that although Kuai Liang had a kind face, he looked like an old fox on the inside. After listening to his question, and it was about Li Yi, he didn't dare to speak rashly. Marquis of the Marquis, but he doesn't have much contact with Marquis Xiang, it's true that Marquis Xiang is famous, Can thinks that Marquis Xiang won't be punished without reason, and he won't be punished innocently."

Kuai Liang nodded secretly. Although what he said was not very exciting, there was no reason for it. Wang Can's age was not bad.

Kuai Liang smiled, and said again: "However, because of my status, I cannot help you in front of the envoy, but since you called me uncle and it is the first time to work for the Marquis of Xiang, how can I see you as useless?" And return?"

Wang Can was puzzled and asked suspiciously, "Uncle, what does this mean?"

Kuai Liang smiled slightly, took out a piece of bamboo from his sleeve and put it in front of Wang Can, saying: "The Kuai family has a grain storehouse in Yuyang County, and they store [-] grain. If nephew needs it, he can get it himself."

Chapter 357 Gao Shun Visits

The time has entered February, and compared to Xiangyang, which has a dull atmosphere, inside and outside Wancheng, it is a fiery scene.

This year's weather was good, it was a warm spring, the construction of the academy, which had been slowed down due to the New Year and the severe cold, would start again soon, and it seemed that in another month or so, the academy would be completed and recruit students.

Regarding this, Li Yi had to sigh with emotion that the common people at this time were really real.

At first Li Yi recruited people to work, and the people thought they were corvees. Although they were willing to work for Li Yi, they were not very interested. However, when they learned that Li Yi was willing to use food as compensation, although there was not much food, the people became motivated immediately. Yes, I work very hard. As for stealing, raping, and slipping, this kind of situation does not exist at all, because without Li Yi asking someone to supervise, other people who want to work will find out those doors first.

What matches the college is the future teachers and enrollment.

There is no shortage of teachers. With Cai Yong and Huang Chengyan in charge, many people have been recruited and are receiving "training" from the two big bosses. If they want to be qualified for the initial education of the academy, they are more than enough.

However, when the list of the first batch of admitted students was confirmed, a wry smile appeared on Li Yi's face.

Li Yi's original idea was that the aristocratic family doesn't force you, you can come here as long as you want, the tuition fee is not much, just a little bit of meaning is good, and according to the situation in Nanyang, there will inevitably be a lot of aristocratic family disciples enrolling.

As for the other part, it is naturally the children of ordinary people. Li Yi originally wanted to select some smarter children and teenagers from ordinary people to enter the school, but when it was actually operated, Li Yi was brought out by Jia Xu and Guo Jia. Compromised before the list.

Jia Xu and the others gave a list of [-] people, almost all of whom are currently serving as small officials under Li Yi, or the children of those soldiers who have newly joined the army. In short, the fathers and brothers of those children are all following Li Yi "mixed".

This is not in line with Li Yi's original intention. It's not that he doesn't want to benefit his own people, but he feels that the proportion of the benefits is too large, and basically let his own people take it all up.

However, Jia Xu pointed out that Li Yi first took in Nanyang's own refugees, and now he is taking in Liu Pi's Yuzhou Yellow Turban remnants. Enrolling their children in school is the easiest and most convenient way to win people's hearts.

This principle is no problem, Li Yi thought about it, and agreed.

However, this incident gave Li Yi a faint feeling that the world's aristocratic families can only change one crop after another, and it may be difficult to eradicate them.

Fortunately, Li Yi is not Wenqing. Although this matter has affected his mood, he doesn't take it too seriously. After all, he is only the prefect now, and thinking too far about some things will only increase troubles.

On this day, after Li Yi routinely visited the people, he was told that Wang Can, who was sent to Xiangyang as an envoy, had returned and brought back [-] shi of grain.

Li Yi was quite surprised by this, and hurried back to the city to meet Wang Can. After talking about hard work, he learned that the food was actually given by the Kuai family.

Li Yi couldn't help smacking his lips. Kuai's family gave him a lot of things before and after. The last time he took a concubine, Kuai's family gave him a batch of food. Most likely will send another one.

Naturally, Li Yi asked Wang Can, "Zhongxuan thought, what is the intention of the Kuai family being so generous?"

When Wang Can saw Li Yi's question, although he had already thought about it, he was still a little worried when he really wanted to answer it.

That day, Wang Can was very moved by Kuai Liang's generosity, but he refused at first.

That was politeness, and it was also a temptation.

But Kuai Liang pretended that if Wang Can didn't accept it, he wouldn't recognize him as his uncle. In short, it was almost shameless, and he gave the food to Wang Can completely backwards.

Then Wang Can naturally wanted to ask why Kuai Liang was so generous. Kuai Liang bluntly said that he wanted to take care of him as a junior.

This answer is quite lofty, but Wang Can can't believe it at all, but Kuai Liang insists on this, and Wang Can can't help it.

Faced with Li Yi's inquiry at this time, Wang Can could only repeat Kuai Liang's explanation first, and then said hesitantly: "Prefect Kuai seems to be showing favor to the Marquis Xiang and wants to resolve the previous grievances, but Can asked if there is any I wanted to talk to Marquis Xiang, but said it was unnecessary, and Can didn't dare to say anything about this matter, so I begged Marquis Xiang to forgive me."

Wang Can felt a little aggrieved. Although he brought back [-] shi of grain during this trip, everyone could tell that the grain was for Li Yi and had nothing to do with Wang Can. As for other aspects of performance, Wang Can Can can only be said to be mediocre, there is nothing exciting to speak of.

Li Yi was noncommittal about this, because even he wasn't too sure about Kuai Liang's thoughts, and Kuai Liang hadn't contacted him directly, so Li Yi could only be nervous and couldn't take the initiative to ask.

However, looking at Wang Can who was obviously "safer" than the previous few days, Li Yi smiled and said: "Okay, I already understand this matter, and you have worked hard recently, why don't you take a rest for a few days, and then go to serve the filial piety temporarily?" How about doing things over there?"

Li Yi was not disappointed with Wang Can's performance, but he was not very satisfied. However, compared to Wang Can's reputation, this performance was a bit poor. Fortunately, Wang Can himself seemed to be aware of it, so naturally Li Yi would not It hit him too much, just let him go to Guo Jia to learn a little bit, if he can be modest, he will grow up in the future.

Moreover, this is not only Li Yi's idea, but also Cai Yong's idea.

After dismissing Wang Can, Li Yi was about to talk to Jia Xu and the others about Liu Biao, when he saw Zhang Liao walking in with a happy face, and shouted to Li Yi from afar: "My lord, Boping is here, and he is outside the mansion right now. ask to see!"

Li Yi was stunned for a moment before realizing that Boping is Gao Shun!

Subconsciously, a smile appeared on Li Yi's face. Gao Shun was the first few of Li Yi's strong people. Although Li Yi always believed that the superiors had no friends, it was undeniable that as long as he still had humanity, he would treat some people People have good feelings.

Gao Shun was one of the first generals Li Yi set as the target to woo. Although the strategy failed in the end, it wasn't that Gao Shun didn't get close to Li Yi, it was just that Gao Shun didn't want to betray the master, so Li Yi didn't lower Gao Shun because of this. favor.

How could Li Yi be unhappy when he suddenly heard an old friend visiting.

Li Yi immediately got up and was about to greet him outside the mansion, but after only taking two steps, the smile on Li Yi's face froze and then gradually disappeared.

Zhang Liao was very happy at first, but when he saw the change in Li Yi's expression, he felt inexplicably uneasy, and couldn't laugh anymore, so he asked in a low voice, "My lord, is this?"

Li Yi didn't answer, but just asked: "Has Wen Yuan seen Boping?"

Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "Just now I was calculating money and food with Feng Xiao, when I heard the guards in the mansion say that Bo Ping was coming, I couldn't help but feel happy, so I went directly to find the Lord."

After all, seeing Li Yi frowning, Zhang Liao couldn't help asking again: "Master, is there something wrong with this?"

Li Yi sighed: "Boping's arrival today must be for Feng Xian, and what an arrogant person Feng Xian is, since Boping is sent here, it can be seen that his situation is worrying!"

Zhang Liao couldn't help but tense his face when he heard it. Although he left Lu Bu and joined Li Yi, he had been in love for many years, and during this time, the news about Lu Bu that he received one after another was basically all bad. information.

Now that I heard what Li Yi said, I was naturally worried about Lu Bu.

At the same time, Zhang Liao was still a little ashamed. Seeing the change in Li Yi's face just now, he thought Li Yi was trying to plot against Lu Bu. After all, with Li Yi's ambition, it can be said that all the princes in the world are enemies, and it is reasonable to plot against Lu Bu.

Now it seems that it is my own villain's heart.

But what Zhang Liao didn't know was that Li Yi's face was not good-looking. Although he didn't want to plot against Lu Bu, he didn't have much kindness.

Li Yi knew that in history, Lu Bu couldn't stay in Chang'an, and finally ran to Yanzhou and Xuzhou. According to the current situation, Lu Bu was suppressed again and again in Chang'an, and it was only a matter of time before he left.

However, what is different now is that Li Yi has a good personal relationship with Lu Bu, and several of Li Yi's personal guards are still in the original camp, and Li Yi's most trusted general, Zhang Liao, is even Lu Bu's former subordinate.

With such a deep bond, would Lu Bu still go east?

In case that guy asked Gao Shun to say by the way, I, Lu Fengxian, can't get along in Chang'an, so come to Nanyang to stay for a few days

How did Li Yi answer this?

Rejection, not to mention that it will chill people's hearts, will also affect Li Yi's image, making people feel that he is not tolerant.
