Bu Kai left Yangzhou and boarded a ship to Jiangdong. When he left, Liu Mang gave him a set of books. On the ship, Bu Kai only had a few sets of clothes. The rest of his belongings were all books.
Looking at the books in front of him, Bu Kai's mood was very complicated. Books were supposed to be read by the nobles. Because books were very expensive, the poor couldn't afford to read books. Even if one out of a thousand of the poor could read books, it was already very good.
In Liu Mang's Yangzhou, among the Six Ministries, only Xu Shu was a poor child. The others were Zhuge Liang, Lu Su, Liu Ye, and the others. Even the Minister of Revenue, Mi Zhu, was a rich person. From this, it could be seen that it was not easy for poor children to rise up. If Yangzhou was like this, then the other nobles who looked down on the poor were even more so. One of the reasons was that books were too expensive.
It was so expensive that one could only read a little bit of a book under the watchful eyes of a servant. After all, only a few people were able to read a book in peace. A book could take at least a year to finish.
But now, His Highness King of Shu was casually giving him a ship full of books. No matter which book he took out, it would be worth more than ten gold coins. Bu Kai was very moved. However, His Highness King of Shu said that these books were produced by the assembly line and that he could have as many books as he wanted. The price was only dozens of gold per book.
If what the King Of Shu said was true, then this would be a huge blow to the Great Han Dynasty. This way, the restriction on poor and noble families would disappear.
An ordinary family would be able to buy and sell books at will. This way, things like reading books would enter the homes of ordinary people.
Bu Kai was a noble. He knew that this would have a huge impact on the noble families. At the same time, he also knew that this would have a huge impact on the development of Yangzhou. No matter how strong a person was, they could not compare to a group of people. The noble families were a small group of people.
Even if all of them were geniuses, they only accounted for less than one percent of the total population of the Great Han Dynasty.
Even if only one out of a hundred of the commoners was a genius, the number was still terrifying.
Bu Kai shook his head. From now on, a poor family could produce a noble family, and the noble family would also fall. However, all of this had nothing to do with Bu Kai. Even if His Highness the King Of Shu didn't take such measures, there wouldn't be an aristocratic family that could last for thousands of years. Just like the Yuan family of the Three Dukes of the Fourth Generation, they were also struggling at death's door! Their Bu Family had been passed down from the Marquis of Huaiyin. If it weren't for the wisdom of the previous Patriarch, the Bu Family might have been destroyed in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The future was too far away. Perhaps by the time the Bu Clan was destroyed, Bu Kai would have already been buried many years ago.
It was better to focus on the present. The Bu Family's growth was the real deal.
Bu Kai's eyes couldn't help but focus. He remembered the place he wanted to go, Jiangdong's Yuzhang County. This was the place where he needed to expand.
Bu Kai remembered His Highness the King Of Shu's high hopes for him before he left. The King hoped that he could make a difference in this county near Jingzhou. Only then would the King Of Shu promote him to a high position and let his Little Uncle Bu Ku be his assistant.
As long as the Bu Family had these two people, the Bu Family would be able to stand tall, at least as long as the King Of Shu was on the throne.
Bu Kai's ship was getting farther and farther away. He was going to Yuzhang County to be a county magistrate. That's right, a county magistrate. It wasn't that the King Of Shu wanted to demote him. It was Bu Kai's own request. A county magistrate needed to manage many things, and Bu Kai liked military affairs. In a county, only a county magistrate could manage military affairs.
…
Bu Kai, the chess piece, was arranged by Liu Mang to Yuzhang County. It was up to him to see if the relationship between the Bu Family and Bu Ku would improve.
After a busy day, Liu Mang was ready to go to bed. These days, he was spared by the tigresses in the family because they also knew that Liu Mang was busy with the exam. Therefore, Liu Mang was rarely allowed to sleep alone.
Lying on the bed, Liu Mang took off his coat and shoes. Suddenly, he thought of something and couldn't help but ask Guan Hai outside, "Guan Hai, how is the matter in Liaodong?"
Guan Hai listened to Liu Mang's words and reported to Liu Mang, "Reporting to the Lord, Sir Yang Chen has returned."
"Yang Chen has returned?" Liu Mang was stunned for a moment. "What about Tian Feng? What about those talents? "Liu Mang anxiously asked Guan Hai.
"They all came back from Guangling with Yang Chen Daren!" Guan Hai replied.
"Why didn't he come to see me directly?" Liu Mang asked doubtfully.
"Oh, the Lord, Sir Yang Chen originally wanted to come to see the Lord, but seeing that the Lord was busy with the exam, he retreated first and prepared to report to the Lord tomorrow." Guan Hai said to Liu Mang. Yang Chen did come to see the King Of Shu as soon as he came back. However, when Liu Mang was looking for the King Of Shu, he was informed that Liu Mang was receiving a student from Jiangdong. He was busy with the exam, so Yang Chen wanted to leave first and prepare to see the King Of Shu the next day.
"Stupid, stupid!" Liu Mang did not think so and complained about Yang Chen in his heart. Tian Feng and Liu Mang had been envious for a long time. This person's talent was not worse than any of the people in Liu Mang's hands. This person was even more experienced than Zhuge Liang and the others because of his age.
"How long have they been gone?" Liu Mang asked Guan Hai.
"They have only been gone for an incense's time!" Guan Hai responded.
"Then why aren't you chasing after her? What are you waiting for?" Liu Mang kicked Guan Hai's butt.
"Yes, yes!" Guan Hai hurriedly went to chase after Yang Chen's carriage.
Liu Mang also quickly put on his clothes. "Someone prepare the carriage, prepare the carriage!" Liu Mang shouted.
After putting on his clothes, Liu Mang did not care and directly shouted, "Go to Honglu Mansion!"
… …
Tian Feng, Xun Chen, and the others did not see the King Of Shu, Liu Mang at all.
Tian Feng did not care. He was already the kind of person who had lost his heart. What was the difference between seeing him and not seeing him? Xun Chen was a little disappointed. Although Yang Chen had already greeted him, Xun Chen also knew that today was the examination of Yangzhou. Perhaps His Highness the King Of Shu was very busy. They arrived at night. His original expectations for His Highness the King Of Shu were a little lost.
Under the arrangement of the officials of Honglu Temple, Xun Chen and Tian Feng stayed in.
When the two were about to wash up and sleep, they were suddenly called up, saying that there was a distinguished guest outside who wanted to see them. Both of them were smart people. In Yangzhou, there was only one person who could be a distinguished guest, and that was the King Of Shu, Liu Mang.
The two of them straightened their clothes and were arranged in two side halls.
Tian Feng also entered a side hall. When he walked in, there was already a young man standing there. Yang Chen said something to this person.
"Mr. Tian Feng, this is our Lord!" Yang Chen saw the person who came and said to Tian Feng.
"My Lord, this is Mr. Tian Feng." Yang Chen introduced the two sides.
Liu Mang looked at the little old man in front of him. He was Tian Feng? He was the one who was called by later generations, Tian Yuanhao, the one who was controlled by the world, Tian Feng? You really can't judge a book by its cover.
"His Highness the King Of Shu?" Liu Mang had not spoken yet, but Tian Feng on the other side opened his mouth.
"Mr. Yuanhao." Liu Mang cupped his fist to Tian Feng and shouted Tian Feng's name, hoping to close the distance.
However, he was slapped in the face by this little old man. "I am not familiar with you. I don't dare to be called Mr. Yuanhao by Your Highness." Tian Feng's slap was really loud. Not familiar with the King Of Shu? In the world, only Tian Feng dared to say that.
"Mr. Tian Feng, you?" Yang Chen's face changed and he was about to step forward to reprimand Tian Feng, but Liu Mang waved his hand and said to Yang Chen, "Yang Chen, you go first!"
"Yes! Yang Chen withdrew! "Yang Chen had no choice but to withdraw first.
"Mr. Tian Feng, we are indeed not familiar with each other. However, the first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. By then, Mr. Tian Feng should understand me, Liu Mang! " Although Liu Mang had Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and the others, he was still thirsty for talent. Because his business was now big, with Yangzhou, Jiangdong, and Xuzhou, three continents, it was obviously not enough to rely on Zhuge Liang and the others.
Just like Cao Cao, he had a top counselor like Guo Jia, but his family still needed talents like Xun You and Xun Yu. Cao Cao's team, there were too many famous people. To be able to operate such a large territory like Cao Cao, there were hundreds of talented or famous people.
As for Yangzhou, the six departments were not satisfied, let alone the local area. Cao Cao was able to struggle in Hebei because of the Xun uncle and nephew in Yanzhou and the Zhong brothers in Zhili. In Qingzhou, Yang Xiu and the others, even if Liu Mang robbed Lao Cao of Jia Xu and Liu Ye, but Lao Cao had other people to replace him. This was a huge machine, so the battle between Liu Mang and Cao Cao was not a battle with Cao Cao alone, but a battle of wits and courage with the huge group of counselors behind Cao Cao.
"We are not familiar with each other! To be able to wear two different boots to meet the guests, Your Highness can be considered to be in the past. Your Highness, did you not learn etiquette when you were young? "Tian Feng's words to Liu Mang were full of ridicule.
Although Liu Mang was a little angry, he still suppressed it. "Is Mister Tian Feng talking about these two pairs of shoes?" Liu Mang looked at his feet. Indeed, he had worn the wrong shoes. The two pairs of boots had different patterns.
"Not only this pair of boots, but the buttons on your clothes are also not properly buttoned!" Liu Mang covered Tian Feng's face and buttoned up his prince's dragon robe. The belt was also loosened, so he also re-fastened it.
"You?" Tian Feng's brows furrowed even deeper. This kind of slacking was really rude to the extreme.
"Okay! It's all done. Mister Tian Feng, is there anything else that is not done? " Liu Mang turned around in front of Tian Feng and even asked the servant to find a new pair of boots.
"Nothing!" Tian Feng was too lazy to care about the King Of Shu, Liu Mang. Originally, Tian Feng accused Liu Mang of not wearing his clothes properly and was rude. He wanted to make the King Of Shu angry and kill him in anger, or kick him out. This would be the best. Tian Feng did not want to see Liu Mang.
But who would have thought that our King Of Shu, His Highness, took this accusation as courtesy. He was simply shameless. He even tidied up his clothes in front of Tian Feng.
"I left in a hurry today. When I heard that Mister Tian Feng had arrived, I immediately got out of bed. I didn't have time to freshen up before I came. I made a fool of myself in front of Mister Tian Feng!" Liu Mang said to Tian Feng.
"Got out of bed?" Tian Feng frowned and asked doubtfully.
"Yes, I was delayed in the exam today, so I didn't know Mister's arrival in the first place. Yang Chen and Guan Hai thought that I was tired and prepared to report to me the next day. But with Mister's identity, how could you be delayed?" Liu Mang said to Tian Feng.
Tian Feng's frown became deeper and deeper, but he could no longer nitpick on Liu Mang's clothes. Previously, he could say that Liu Mang was rude. He didn't even wear his clothes properly. Was he trying to humiliate him? But now that he heard Liu Mang's explanation, it was different. That was, our Liu Mang had already gone to bed. Because he knew that Tian Feng had arrived, he immediately got out of bed and didn't bother to rest. He rushed to Honglu Temple without stopping.
This made Tian Feng have a good impression of Liu Mang, the King Of Shu, because who didn't like the feeling of being valued?
"Your Highness, the King Of Shu, did you buy me from Yuan Tan to buy bones?" Tian Feng looked at Liu Mang and asked indifferently. Tian Feng bought him to disgust Liu Mang.
"If Your Highness wants this, then congratulations Your Highness, you have already done it!" Tian Feng didn't even look at Liu Mang. "I hope Your Highness can arrange a secluded place for Tian Feng to spend his later years!" Tian Feng's words meant that he didn't want to work for Liu Mang. Buying bones from a thousand miles away, those bones were dead. Those dead bones were just for decoration. Tian Feng meant that he wanted to be a decoration.
If Liu Mang was willing to let Tian Feng be such a decoration, he wouldn't have drawn the price of a thousand sets of Yangzhou armor to exchange for Tian Feng.
"Mr. Tian Feng must be joking. You are the horse that I bought, not the bones of a horse!" Liu Mang's face showed an ugly smile. He was now being treated coldly. However, Liu Mang could still endure. Little old man, you can show off. Wait until you are on my pirate ship, Liu Mang's pirate ship, then I will deduct your salary.
"I want the position of Yangzhou's Internal Minister. All of my plans and policies, you have to listen to me." Tian Feng said to Liu Mang indifferently. Tian Feng's appetite was really big. He directly wanted to replace Xu Shu. Not only that, he also wanted Liu Mang, the lord of Yangzhou, to listen to him, Tian Feng. Tian Feng was not allowed to interfere. Was Tian Feng the lord or was Liu Mang the lord?
"Impossible!" Liu Mang did not even think about it and refused. He bought a strategist. He was a talented strategist. He was a talented strategist. He was not someone who could order people around. He was not someone who could sit on Liu Mang's head and act as the master.
"Then, your highness King Of Shu, please go back. Tian Feng does not have the ability to assist your highness." Tian Feng directly cupped his fist and said to Liu Mang.
This made Liu Mang so angry that he wanted to slap this little old man to death. This was Yangzhou. This was Liu Mang's territory. Now, he was actually being asked to leave.
Liu Mang completely exploded. He also sneered. You damn old man, I gave you face but you don't want it. Do you want me to not give you face?
"Mr. Tian Feng, the position of Yangzhou's Internal Minister is now held by Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi! Do you think that your talent is better than Yuanzhi? "Liu Mang sneered and asked Tian Feng.
"Xu Shu? Who is that? "Tian Feng used such an answer to Liu Mang. That meant that he did not put Xu Shu in his eyes.
"Mr. Tian Feng, you really have a big tone. Do you look down on the talents in this world?" Liu Mang had begun to substitute the topic. If you want to disgust someone, or if you want to win an argument with someone, you have to imperceptibly change the topic. The more deviated the topic, the better. In the end, the things that the person originally prepared for the debate would suddenly be found to be unsuitable for the current topic. In this way, the initiative would be in the hands of the person.
And now, Liu Mang was using this method. If Tian Feng had studied the Thick Black Theory, he would definitely know Liu Mang's trajectory. He might even be able to bypass Liu Mang. Unfortunately, Tian Feng was not a person who studied the Thick Black Theory.
"Although I am not the best in the world, I am invincible!" Tian Feng was really confident in his own talent.
Also, Tian Feng helped Yuan Shao to conquer Hebei. He divided Gongsun Zan and suppressed Gongsun Du. It could be said that Yuan Shao's position in Hebei was Tian Feng's support.
"Then, how does Mr. Tian compare to Cao Cao's subordinates, Guo Jia, Xun You, and Xun Yu?" Liu Mang perfectly changed the topic from Tian Feng and Xu Shu to Tian Feng and Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Xun You.
"Two juniors!" Tian Feng's answer was that although the three of them were talented, they were not as good as him. At least, they were not as experienced as him.
"Then, why did Mr. Tian become a horse bone, and why did Guo Jia follow Cao Cao and gallop on the land of Hebei?" Liu Mang looked at Tian Feng with a smile.
Tian Feng's eyes narrowed. He was a little angry. Liu Mang was completely touching the pot. People said that when you hit someone, don't hit their face, and when you scold someone, don't expose their shortcomings. Liu Mang was blatantly tearing open Tian Feng's scar.
"Before the battle with Cao Cao, I already had the confidence to conquer the Central Plains!" Tian Feng said to Liu Mang. Before the Battle of Guandu, Liu Bei attacked Xu Province's Provincial Governor Che Zhou, took over Pei County, and betrayed Cao Cao. Cao Cao personally led an army to attack Liu Bei. Tian Feng said to Yuan Shao, "The one fighting for the world with you is Cao Cao. Cao Cao is now attacking Liu Bei at the border. The battle between the two sides will not end quickly. If we mobilize all our troops to attack Cao Cao's rear, we can conquer the Central Plains. The army will be mobilized according to the timing, and it will be the right time. "Yuan Shao declined, saying that his son was sick, and Tian Feng's plan was not carried out.
"But Mr. Tian still lost!" Liu Mang said with a smile.
"That's because Ben Chu was not willing to listen to me," Tian Feng said. "If Ben Chu had listened to me, then Cao Cao would have been defeated long ago. There would not be a King Of Shu's Yangzhou." Tian Feng looked at Liu Mang mockingly. If Yuan Shao had really listened to Tian Feng, then the one who would have lost would be Cao Cao. Without Cao Cao's resistance, there were not many people in the world who could be a match for Yuan Shao.
Moreover, the King Of Shu had his own internal and external troubles. Yuan Shao probably only needed to send a side division to clean up Liu Mang's army.
"But Mr. Tian still lost. You lost to Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, and the others!" Liu Mang still said the same thing. He even reminded Tian Feng who he lost to.
"Hmph, that's because Ben Chu locked me up. Otherwise, with just them?" Tian Feng was angry. When Yuan Shao did not listen to him, he angrily scolded Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was so angry that he locked Tian Feng up. If Tian Feng had not scolded Yuan Shao and given advice in the war, even if Yuan Shao lost, it would have been limited. It would not have been a problem for Yuan Shao to turn the tables and kill Cao Cao.
"The fact is, Mr. Tian Feng, you lost!" Liu Mang continued to slap Tian Feng's face.
"Hmph!" Tian Feng's face turned red. He did not want to argue with Liu Mang anymore.
"The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit! Mr. Tian Feng, even if Mr. Tian Feng's talent can leave Guo Jia, Xun You, and Xun Yu in the dust, so what? A loss is a loss! "Liu Mang said indifferently.
"So what if I lost? Isn't it just a loss? "Tian Feng said angrily.
"No, Mr. Tian Feng lost from the beginning! You lost from the beginning until the end! "Liu Mang slapped Tian Feng's face, so he wanted to slap Tian Feng's face until it was red.
"You mean that I was wrong to help Ben Chu pacify Hebei, destroy Gongsun Zan, and occupy the Four Continents?" Tian Feng looked at Liu Mang mockingly. These were all Tian Feng's contributions.
Seeing Tian Feng angry and glaring at him, Liu Mang could not help but laugh in his heart. I want you to be angry. The angrier you are, the happier I am. "Mr. Tian Feng, I said that you were wrong from the beginning. There is a reason for that!" Liu Mang said with a smile.
"Oh? I would like to hear His Highness the King Of Shu's opinion! "Tian Feng sneered.
"Mr. Tian Feng, you were wrong from the beginning. That was because Mr. Tian Feng chose the wrong lord. As a result, Mr. Tian Feng made mistakes again and again. In the end, the Yuan family can only live in Youzhou and may be destroyed at any time!" Liu Mang said without giving Tian Feng any face.
"I chose the wrong lord? Could it be that Your Highness King of Shu is a good and wise lord? Do you think you can do better than Ben Chu? What a joke. Ben Chu is one of the Three Dukes of the Fourth Generation. Ben Chu is generous, handsome, dignified, and loved to raise his reputation. Since he has troubled the Secretary of State of the World Stage, he is the guest's home. Moreover, he wholeheartedly expresses his gratitude. No one would not fight against him. " Tian Feng said a lot of good things about Yuan Shao. "Who do you think you are, King Of Shu? How can you compare with Ben Chu?" Tian Feng even attacked Liu Mang personally in the end.
"What happened next?! He couldn't even protect his own life. His foundation was also destroyed! I'm afraid none of his three sons would survive after being destroyed by Cao Cao, right? " Liu Mang also sneered. "In the end, Yuan Shao lost. He lost to Cao Cao. He lost to Black Fatty Cao who was at his beck and call. Do you want to know why I said that Yuan Shao was not a good lord?"
"I would like to hear the details!" Tian Feng was a little depressed. He had indeed lost. He had lost completely. With Cao Cao's character, it was impossible for the three sons of the Yuan family to survive. Therefore, Yuan Shao had completely lost. He couldn't even keep his sons alive.
"The biggest reason for this is that Yuan Shao broke the rules. Or rather, he was too indecisive! He has two sons. "Liu Mang said to Tian Feng.
Yuan Shao had a few sons. At first, it didn't matter. However, after Yuan Shao slowly became a hegemon, this became the biggest problem. Moreover, this problem was planted by Yuan Shao himself. Yuan Tan is the eldest son of Yuan Shao. It was passed down through the nobles. However, Yuan Benchu seems to prefer his youngest son, Yuan Shang. "
Yuan Tan's mother was from the Yang family. She was the daughter of the Yuan family and the Yang family. The Yang family and the Yuan family were both noble families. Therefore, Yuan Tan was the eldest son of Yuan Shao. Logically, Yuan Tan should inherit Yuan Shao's position.
However, Mrs. Yang died more than ten years ago and left Yuan Tan alone. Yuan Shao later married another woman, Mrs. Liu. Although Mrs. Liu couldn't be compared to the Yang family, she was still a noble family in Hebei. Yuan Shao married Mrs. Liu to consolidate his power. However, Mrs. Liu was more capable. Her son inherited Yuan Shao's looks. Yuan Shao liked him very much. In addition, he was the youngest son, so he doted on him even more. In addition, Mrs. Liu was by his side. Therefore, in front of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shang was ranked ahead of Yuan Tan.
If Yuan Tan was a person who was willing to live a dull life, then it would be fine if his younger brother, Yuan Shang, inherited his father's legacy. However, Yuan Tan wasn't willing, he was the eldest son of the Yang Clan and the Yuan Clan, why should he give his position to his younger brother?
On one hand, he had Yuan Shao's love and the help of his mother. On the other hand, he had the eldest son of the Yang family and the help of some strategists and generals who had always followed the law. These two brothers were bound to not be at peace. One should not be afraid of a god-like opponent but a pig-like teammate. Now, it seemed that not only did Yuan Shao have a pig-like teammate, but he also had a god-like opponent. With these two combined, it would be strange if he didn't lose.
Tian Feng was rendered speechless by Liu Mang's words. He wanted to argue, but he found that he couldn't open his mouth. Pig-Like teammate? Hehe. Tian Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although this King Of Shu's words were very vulgar, it was the truth. At the beginning, Yuan Shao supported him. However, later on, as the two young masters' power grew, they basically didn't think about how to expand their territory. Instead, they thought about how to gain Yuan Shao's favor and fight for the position of Supreme General.
Tian Feng angered Yuan Shao. Originally, Yuan Shao wouldn't have imprisoned him. However, because of these pig-like teammates, they slandered Yuan Shao. In the end, Tian Feng could only go to prison with hatred.
"If that Yuan Shao had followed the rules and decided that his successor would be Yuan Tan, or if Yuan Shao wasn't indecisive and favored Yuan Shang, he would directly suppress Yuan Tan and make Yuan Tan give up on the inheritance. In this way, the two brothers wouldn't continue to fight each other. The Yuan family could still be saved. However, Yuan Shao gave them hope, so they would naturally continue to fight each other." Liu Mang shook his head. How could a force that couldn't clench their fists be a match for Cao Cao?
However, Cao Cao was different. He had decided that his eldest son, Cao Cao, would be his successor from the beginning. Later, when his eldest son died and Cao Cao chose another successor, the world was almost at peace.
"It turns out that I was wrong from the beginning!" Tian Feng was a little bitter. Yuan Shao was one of the Three Princes of the Fourth Generation. Although he was courteous to the wise, he had to know that his status as a noble had both advantages and disadvantages. When his starting point was high, his reputation would also be high. At the same time, such a person couldn't afford to lose. It was like a tycoon who suddenly lost everything one day. How could he continue to live? He had never experienced poverty before. Therefore, after Yuan Shao lost to Cao Cao for the first time, he couldn't climb back up.
"Won't Your Highness have more children in the future?" Tian Feng turned his head and asked Liu Mang.
"I will!" Liu Mang was thinking that it would be good if the Liu family had a few sons and daughters, blossoming flowers and scattering leaves. Liu Mang naturally knew what Tian Feng meant. Liu Mang had a few sons. Wouldn't he walk the same path as Yuan Shao? "But Mr. Tian Feng, you have to know that when my sons are able to compete for the position of King Of Shu, it will be 20 years later. To put it bluntly, I'm afraid that Mr. Tian Feng will already be buried in the ground! " Liu Mang said with a smile. He told Tian Feng not to worry about his sons fighting for power. When they reach that age, it would be 20 years later. It was still a question whether Tian Feng could live until that day.
Tian Feng's eyes flickered twice. Liu Mang knew that this person was a little moved.
"Mr. Tian Feng, I, Liu Mang, can't give you what you want. I can't give you the position of Internal Minister. Even the Minister of the Six Ministries already have people." Liu Mang looked at Tian Feng and struck while the iron was hot.
"However, I can give you a promise. Mister Tian Feng, your speech is free. Even if you scold me or hit me, it is not a crime. If I do something wrong, Mister Tian Feng, you can directly scold me!" Liu Mang said to Tian Feng. Tian Feng
"Freedom of speech?" Tian Feng's eyes lit up. Although this was a new term, Tian Feng knew that this right was really big. It could be considered as a gold medallion. That is, Liu Mang told Tian Feng that he can give advice and suggestions. If you think I am muddleheaded, you can even point at my nose and scold me. It is not against the law.
"If Mr. Tian Feng is willing, you will be a member of my Yangzhou Cabinet!" Liu Mang continued.
"Cabinet?" Tian Feng was stunned for a moment. After Liu Mang explained, he understood that it was the decision-making level of Yangzhou. In addition to the Minister of the Six Ministries, there was also Internal Minister Jia Xu and Liu Mang. Liu Mang had absolute power, but the cabinet also had a lot of power. As long as Liu Mang did not interfere, they could basically do anything in Yangzhou. Originally, there were eight people in the cabinet. Now, with the addition of Tian Feng, there were nine people in the cabinet. The minority obeys the majority to make military decisions!
Tian Feng did not answer whether he agreed or not. Instead, he looked at Liu Mang and said indifferently. "Words are not proof!"
When Liu Mang heard this, he immediately knew that Tian Feng was moved. He could not help but smile and said, "What proof does Mr. Tian want?"
Tian Feng looked at Liu Mang and sized up Liu Mang. Suddenly, he walked in front of Liu Mang and pulled out Liu Mang's sword from his waist. The sword was shining with a cold light.
"Good sword!" Even Tian Feng couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
This was naturally a good sword. It was given to Liu Mang by his father-in-law, Lü Bu.
"Just use this as proof!" Tian Feng was looking for a death exemption for himself.
Liu Mang frowned a little because this sword was the sword of the commander. Seeing this sword was equivalent to seeing Liu Mang himself. It had the effect of killing a general without reporting it. Originally, Liu Mang wanted to find a piece of gold for Tian Feng to make a death exemption for him. The power of this sword was too great.
However, after thinking about it, Liu Mang laughed and said, "Since Mr. Tian Feng likes this sword, then take it. However, Mr. Tian Feng, this sword is not so easy to take!"
"Oh?" Tian Feng looked at Liu Mang curiously.
"Mr. Tian Feng, this sword is my sword. It is also the King's Sword. In my Yangzhou, anyone under the six departments can be killed without reporting it!" It could be said that in addition to the six departments, there were a limited number of commanders. The others, such as Bu Lu, Yang Chen, and Li Yan, were killed without even having a place to cry.
"Mr. Tian Feng, take it. I will pass the supervision of Yangzhou to Mr. Tian Feng." Liu Mang was going to set up an inspection department to investigate those corrupt officials and generals. For these people, Liu Mang could not rely on the Ministry of Personnel alone. The Ministry of Personnel could only monitor one's achievements. As long as one's task was completed, they would not bother you. As for how much you embezzled or how much you took in kickbacks, the Ministry of Personnel would not ask.
"Although Tian Feng is old, I still have a few years to live!" Tian Feng agreed.
"Haha, with Mr. Tian Feng, my career will be successful!" Liu Mang had said this sentence several times. He had said it when he was recruiting Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu. However, these civil officials liked it because it meant that their lord valued them.
"By the way, Mr. Tian Feng, there is one more thing I want to give you!" Liu Mang gave a book to Tian Feng. Tian Feng looked at the name on it and could not help but be stunned for a moment. This was because it turned out to be "Tian Family's Notes". This was some notes that he wrote when he had nothing to do. However, it was sorted out by someone. Those neat notes, what did the King Of Shu, Liu Mang want to do?
"Mr. Tian Feng, what do you think about the price of the book being fifty coins?" Liu Mang said as he took out dozens of books. That's right, dozens of books. The book was the same as the one in Tian Feng's hand.
"Book? Written? "Tian Feng's eyes widened.
Liu Mang laughed in his heart. Sure enough, for these scholars, there was no resistance to writing.
After bidding farewell to Tian Feng, Liu Mang went to another side hall. Naturally, there was Xun Chen inside.
For this Xun Chen, it was much simpler than Tian Feng. That was because Yang Chen had already beaten Xun Chen on the warship. Therefore, when Xun Chen saw Liu Mang, he immediately knelt down and called him Lord.
Of course, Liu Mang did not treat Xun Chen unfairly. Among the six departments, Liu Mang let him go to the Ministry of Justice. He formed a team with Zhuge Cun and became the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice. This made Xun Chen overjoyed. He naturally knew what kind of place the six departments of Yangzhou were. It could be said that his position was higher than his younger brother and nephew in Cao Cao's place.
