Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Xu Shu has been a little overwhelmed recently. He can still cope with the complicated government affairs, but he is a little overwhelmed when it comes to revising the laws.

I don't understand. Different professions are like different worlds.

A few years ago, he was still a swordsman. There is a saying that goes, a knight uses force to break the law, and this is fully reflected in him.

In his mind, there is not much of a concept of law, only disdain and contempt for the law.

Now that his identities have been swapped, he has gone from being a lawbreaker to a law enforcer.

The change of identity made him very uncomfortable. Those boring laws and regulations were like a disturbing thunder that kept ringing in his mind.

When Liu Yu saw Xu Shu, he looked listless and his eyes were red. It was obvious that he did not sleep well yesterday.

"Yuanzhi, put down your work and let's go have a drink."

Xu Shu looked at the mountain of official duties and felt a little worried.

Liu Yu continued to persuade him, "I know you are thinking about promoting military farming in Chang'an as soon as possible, but you are having trouble finding a reliable general. Don't be in a hurry about this matter. After all, Ma Mengqi has only been gone for a few days. It is obviously not that fast to gather the bandits together."

Seeing that Xu Shu still had a worried look on his face, Liu Yu continued to comfort him.

"After Mengqi pacified the banditry, there were extra young and strong men. These people must be trained well before they can be used for missions. Yunchang is a good trainer, but now he is responsible for the defense of Chang'an City and has many things to do. I'm afraid he can't spare these hands."

"Let's wait for Wenhe to come back. If everything goes well, he will bring back two generals. These two people will be just enough for him to handle these tasks."

After hearing Liu Yu's words, Xu Shu finally showed a smile on his face.

No wonder Liu Yu didn't seem anxious at all, it turned out that he already had an idea in mind.

As long as we have generals, the difficulty of implementing the two things of farming and training soldiers will be greatly reduced.

But what about the laws that need to be amended? This work will still be on Xu Shu's desk.

Liu Yu knew very well that the law was a big challenge for Xu Shu, a chivalrous and righteous man.

But he didn't have a better solution. There were very few people he trusted. He thought about it over and over again, but couldn't think of a suitable person.

"Yuanzhi, don't worry about the law, take your time."

Xu Shu looked tired. He understood Liu Yu's painstaking efforts. He looked at the documents on the desk and nodded slowly.

For Xu Shu at the moment, not to mention drinking, even sleeping has become a luxury.

Just as he was about to politely decline, at this moment, a soldier came to the door to report.

"Uncle, there are two people named Man Chong and Man Boning outside the palace who want to see you."

Who? Man Chong. Liu Yu was afraid he had heard it wrong, so he took the business card and examined it carefully. It was Man Chong, no doubt about it.

Seeing Man Chong's name, Liu Yu instantly became energetic.

This is the first person to come since he issued the call for talents.

The key point is that the people he has been in urgent need of have arrived, which is great.

"Please invite him in." Liu Yu had just finished speaking when he felt something was wrong, "Wait, I'll go out myself."

After saying that, he took Xu Shu's hand and ran out the door.

Xu Shu looked confused. He didn't know who this talented person named Man Chong was from. He had never heard of him before.

Liu Yu looked at Xu Shu's bewildered face and explained, "Man Chong is well-versed in classics and is especially good at laws. He is a rare talent. Once he comes, you can hand over all your legal matters to him."

When Xu Shu heard this, his originally depressed spirits instantly perked up.

He took two steps at a time and urged as he walked, "My lord, hurry up. Don't let such a great talent wait anxiously."

Liu Yu rolled his eyes at Xu Shu, forgetting that he had been reluctant just now.

Liu Yu arrived outside the mansion gate and saw a young man standing outside. He was about thirty years old, quite tall, with a serious expression on his face and a pair of bright eyes.

Liu Yu walked forward, grabbed the man's hand and asked, "Are you Man Chong, Man Boning?"

The man nodded.

Liu Yu laughed out loud.

"Great, set up a banquet in the lobby. I'm going to Berning today and I won't stop drinking."

Man Chong looked confused, who is this person?

Could it be Liu Huangshu? This man is so young, and from his appearance, he is not even 10 years old.

Although he is very enthusiastic about himself, his behavior seems a bit reckless.

Xu Shu was just about to exchange greetings with Man Chong and had even thought of the words he wanted to use to praise him, but before he could say a word, he was pulled away by Liu Yu.

Seeing Liu Yu so happy, Xu Shu felt the same way. These days, those boring laws and regulations not only tortured him a lot, but also Liu Yu.

Because whenever he encountered legal provisions that he didn't understand, he would ask Liu Yu for advice.

Didn't the world say that Liu Yu was extremely talented and knowledgeable? He must have been very familiar with the legal provisions.

It's true, during his communication with Liu Yu, it was obvious that he had some understanding of the provisions of the law.

As to whether it can truly adapt to the current situation, that remains to be discussed.

He seemed to have a set of theories that were outside of Confucianism. For example, Liu Yu once said that everyone was equal before the law, which surprised Xu Shu.

Although this is similar to the idea advocated by the Legalists that if a prince breaks the law, the common people will be punished equally, Xu Shu also understands that such a law is difficult to implement even in a peaceful and prosperous era. These are just means to fool the people.

In today's chaotic times, it is definitely unrealistic to implement such a law.

The two talked a lot about the law, but they still felt they were not getting the right way.

After a few drinks, Liu Yu, slightly tipsy, said a few words that Xu Shu agreed with.

There is a sequence in learning, and there are specializations in skills. The ancients were not deceiving!

Xu Shu carefully pondered the meaning of this sentence, and the more he pondered, the more he felt that the truth contained in it was very profound.

But as for the ancient person Liu Yu mentioned, Xu Shu racked his brains but couldn't remember, which ancient person said such a classic and philosophical statement?

I couldn’t think of it, I really couldn’t think of it. When I wanted to ask Liu Yu, I found that he had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Xu Shu secretly admired Liu Yu in his heart, thinking that Liu Yu's reputation as a man of great talent was indeed well-deserved.

It seems that I must read more in my spare time in the future. Only through my continuous efforts can I narrow the gap between me and Liu Yu.

Xu Shu followed behind the two men, looking at the excited Liu Yu and the confused Man Chong, who were sitting on the soft couch, and then he walked forward and saluted, saying, "Just now, the lord said that Bo Ning is a great talent of the time. After seeing him today, I find that he is indeed handsome. Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi is polite."

Man Chong, who had a confused look on his face, finally came to his senses. He quickly stood up and bowed.

"Yuanzhi is overpraising me. I am not talented enough to deserve such praise."

"Bo Ning, there is no need to be too modest. You are well versed in laws and have a good moral character. You are a role model for our generation."
