    After hearing what Liu Cong said, not only Wang Lian, but also Wang Jue was shocked.

    The long history of the Han Dynasty is no small official!  In terms of grade, it can be compared with Yizhou's Shizhong and Engagement.

    Although the officials recruited do not have the status of court officials for the time being, in today's troubled times, the power of the court is no longer as powerful as that of the princes.

    "Brother" Wang Jue woke up first and reminded him softly.

    "Common people, thank you, Your Majesty" Wang Lian knelt down and saluted Liu Cong, but immediately he felt that what he just said was inappropriate, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    "No courtesy, stay safe!" Liu Cong waved to Wang Lian, and then looked at Wang Jue.

    Wang Jue suddenly felt his face burning and his heart beating faster. He quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Liu Cong's eyes.

    "Miss Wang Jue is well-educated and proficient in piano skills. The princess likes her very much, so she would like to invite Ms. Wang Jue to come to the palace and be the princess's companion. Is that okay?"

    Liu Cong¡¯s words were just to ask Wang Jue to be a companion to his wife Wu Ran, and seemed to have no other meaning. However, it was a different story to Wang Yu¡¯s ears. She suddenly turned red and was extremely shy.  For a moment, he didn't even know how to answer Liu Cong's words.

    "Sister" This time it was Wang Lian who reminded Wang Jue.

    "Common peopleCommon people, thank you, Your Majesty" Wang Yu leaned over and saluted Liu Cong, and said timidly.

    "Wenyi, come to the palace, can someone take care of the Zuixian Tower?"

    "Report to the lord, the housekeeper can take care of it!"

    "That's good. The business of Zuixianlou cannot be neglected. People depend on food, and commerce is as important as agriculture. In order for Yizhou to prosper as soon as possible and the people to live a stable life, in addition to rewarding farming and weaving, we should also  Vigorously develop business!¡±

    "My lord, my lord has learned a lesson!" Wang Lian bowed to Liu Cong.

    He said this not as a compliment, but from the bottom of his heart.  When Wang Lian started doing business, he had no choice but to seek an official position. After all, he had to make a living.  But slowly he discovered that business can quickly make a place prosperous, and its role in improving people's lives is no less than agriculture, or even more.  Once agriculture encounters a famine year, there may be no harvest, but those merchants always have ways to get food from other places.

    It¡¯s a pity that the status of businessmen has been very low since ancient times, and those in higher positions don¡¯t think about these issues.  But the lord Liu Cong is an exception. He has sharp eyesight and has already seen all this. How can he not be admired?

    After Qin Mi, Deng Zhi, and Wang Lian were recruited as officials, they immediately took office and put many things in Chengdu in order. This made Zhang Song, Fazheng and others feel much more relaxed, and at the same time they admired their lord Liu Cong's vision even more.

    Liu Cong asked Zhang Song, Wang Lian, and Dong He to review officials from all over Yizhou. He directly dismissed those who were incompetent, and then recruited some talented people.  No matter whether he is a child from a poor family or a noble family, he can only be hired if he is virtuous and talented.

    At the beginning, Liu Cong had little prestige and lacked talents under his command, so he practiced meritocracy.  But now, we can no longer just look at talent, moral character is particularly important.

    Because of the examples of Qin Mi, Deng Zhi and Wang Lian, those who thought they were talented and virtuous came to recommend themselves.  The purpose of their studies is to become officials. Under such a good situation, how can they not think about making achievements, honoring their ancestors, and naming their wives and children?

    There are many talented people in Sichuan. Although they have not recruited many amazing talents, there are still many officials at the county magistrate level.

    It was indeed Wu Ran¡¯s intention to let Wang Jue enter the palace.  That day while listening to the piano in Zuixian Tower and talking with Deng and others, the shrewd Wu Ran discovered that Liu Cong was very happy.

    In his twenties, Liu Cong became one of the largest princes in the world. The pressure on Liu Cong's heart was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.  Wu Ran has been reading poetry and books since she was a child, so she naturally understands that the sound of the piano can cheer up her mood and relieve stress.  She can't help her husband Liu Cong in other aspects, but she can in this aspect!  Therefore, it is recommended that Miss Wang Jue be invited to the palace.

    A little beauty often plays the piano to Liu Cong. Wu Ran naturally knows what will happen in the future.  As Liu Conggui is a prince, he will definitely have many wives and concubines in the future. Moreover, Wu Ran was just a widow before, so of course she won't care about this.

    As Liu Bei's army got closer and closer, a tense atmosphere finally appeared in the city of Chengdu. Whether it was the government soldiers maintaining law and order, the county soldiers guarding the city, or the veterans of the Xiliang Corps, no one took off their armor.  The horse never leaves the case, the bow and arrow never leave the hand, and the weapons hang on the waist.

    Various equipment for defending the city were continuously used from Xiangyang to Chengdu, and from Chengdu¡¯s ordnance.During the journey, they were transported to various towers in a planned manner.

    Generals such as Deng Ai, Xiang Rong, Zhang Xiu, and Deng Zhi took turns leading patrols no matter day or night.

    Liu Bei¡¯s army was stationed in Jiangyuan, about a hundred miles away from Chengdu.  According to Zhuge Liang's suggestion, the army did not enter the city, but stationed three military camps outside the city, serving as horns for each other.

    This has already entered the territory of Chengdu, so they dare not take it lightly, because everyone knows that both Liu Cong and Deng Ai are famous for being good at making surprise attacks.

    Zhang Ren's camp seemed very quiet, and there were more than a dozen personal guards outside the camp.  Zhang Renzheng lit a piece of paper and watched it turn into ashes. Then he poured some water into the ash basin before returning to the desk.

    The letter was written by his senior brother, Zhang Xiu. The letter first praised Zhang Ren, then analyzed the situation in Shu, pointing out that Zhang Ren was currently in a difficult situation and that it was time to make a decision.

    Zhang Ren believed in everything in the letter that Liu Cong, the king of Han, was indeed the hero of the world. The king of Shu had surrendered, and he was also a Han official. It was only natural and right for him to surrender to the king of Han.

    But now Zhang Ren can't help himself. All the troops and horses under his command have been returned to Zhang Fei. Guan Yu and Chen are under command. Even if they want to escape, it is impossible to leave alone.  He had already regretted his original decision, but now he had no good solution.

    "Report to the general, General Huang Quan wants to see you!" A soldier came in to report.

    "General Huang, please come in!"

    "No!"

    After Huang Quan came in, he didn't speak and sat quietly next to him.

    "What's the matter with Gongheng?" Zhang Ren asked.

    "I wonder what the general's plan is?" Huang Quan asked.

    "I don't have any soldiers under my command now, what else can I plan?" Zhang Ren smiled bitterly, "Let's take it one step at a time!"

    "I'm afraid the situation doesn't allow us to take one step at a time!" Huang Quan shook his head, "Liu Bei appointed the Barbarian King Meng Huo as the vanguard to harm the people of Yizhou, which has already made the world angry and resentful. The battle has already been lost before it was even fought!  "

    "Gong Heng, be careful what you say!" Zhang Ren knew that Huang Quan was unhappy, but by saying this, Liu Bei would most likely be charged with disturbing the morale of the army!

    "Huh!" Huang Quan snorted coldly, "That's the truth, why should I be afraid?" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
