Lord Yuan

Chapter 32 Yuan Shao’s evaluation

"As Yuan Benzhu said, there is even an element of humility in him."

Li Zan bowed respectfully and saluted.

When he returned from Puyang County, he saw many scenes.

Yuan Shao was obviously just a county magistrate, but he made a habit of living together with the people.

All day long I was immersed in how farmers could grow grains to greatly increase their yields.

How to prevent vendors from being frightened and fleeing due to the county government’s harsh tax requirements.

How to accept homeless people who are too hungry to walk without causing trouble.

Seeing is believing, hearing is not.

Li Zan even personally experienced the daily life of the people in Puyang.

As a result, it was not at all like the poverty and hardship imagined. Instead, every household had rice to eat and clean water to drink. There were no lights on the street at night and the windows of businesses were open.

The whole county gave him a much more peaceful feeling than when he followed his father to the emperor's capital when he was young.

As for the current residents of Puyang, they have comments on Yuan Shao who has resigned.

Li Zan could only say that it was far beyond his imagination.

It can even be said that it is in Puyang County.

The common people may not know the name of the emperor today or the year of the emperor today, but they will still remember when Yuan Shao joined the job and when and for what reason he resigned.

Under this almost crazy worship, the entire Puyang County is filled with a peculiar lifestyle.

Obviously the current county magistrate's surname is Zhang, but the people are still accustomed to calling magistrate Yuan by his first name when attending government offices.

The current county magistrate was not angry either. He just submitted his demands and then solved them through a series of operations.

When the people left, they still shouted that Magistrate Yuan was an upright and good official who redressed the grievances of the people.

Li Zan personally experienced it and felt very good after taking a lap.

When he told his father all the details, his father, who was always calm in dealing with things, showed a little surprise.

Li Ying was very interested in Li Zan's content, and then asked some other questions about people's livelihood in detail. Li Zan also had no reservations and repeated the whole story according to the situation at that time.

He is a retired scholar. Although he is respected by the scholars and has the title of one of the Eight Great Men, he will not be able to be on the stage in the court, let alone the eunuchs who are in power. If nothing happens, he may be like this in his life. .

In my spare time, I teach students near Yingchuan and get together with my friends, and that's probably it.

But he refused to accept his old age, and was not willing to remain silent like this. He wanted to catch a castrate who could bring down those who caused trouble in the court and caused complaints among the people and scholars.

The eunuchs who deceived the emperor with clever words and deeds and brazenly launched the disaster of the party are now in power, and the emperor's eyes are covered, and he does not know the suffering of the world.

Whenever there was the slightest chance, he wanted to seize it.

Now, the opportunity seems to be flying quietly.

Yuan Shao was born in the Yuan family of Runan.

With this alone, Yuan Shao stood on the shoulders of almost everyone in the world.

Li Ying came from an aristocratic family, so he naturally had a natural affinity for scholars.

With Yuan Shao's appearance, Li Ying's heart, which had been silent for many years, began to agitate again.

He took a fancy to Yuan Shao's banner backed by the Yuan family.If he added some real talent and knowledge, Li Ying felt that it would be a timely help. He did not expect that Yuan Shao's letter of study would make him even more boastful.

In this scene, apart from the excitement I felt when I first saw Xun Yu, who was said to have the talent of Wang Zuo, the only ones left in this scene were Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu.

Last night I fell asleep in a dream.

Li Ying was ten years younger. He galloped on the battlefield, bathed in the battlefield, killed foreigners, threw away their helmets and armor, and ran away, even abandoning their horses.

Li Ying was high-spirited and his reputation and prestige became even greater.

The eunuchs were frightened and the emperor was delighted.

"Boom!" There was a thunder.

It was a dream.

Dream, when will it come true?

And when Li Zan finished explaining Yuan Shao's resume, Li Ying couldn't help but admire him. As an official, he cultivates himself with the people, treats the people like a son, and at the same time opens up his opinions and sincerely accepts the opinions of the people. This is a rare good thing. official.

When he heard that Yuan Shao even spent his own money to pay salaries to the officials at the county level, Li Ying asked Li Zan: "Zan'er, if you were in the position of county magistrate, would you use your family's property to pay it for free?"

Li Zan seemed to have not expected that his father would ask such a difficult question, and his expression was startled.

"Maybe." Li Zan was a little unsure.

Li Ying seemed to have known this result for a long time, and shook his head helplessly: "When Yuan Shao comes, you will cultivate your character with him. When you learn to be like Yuan Shao, I will let you go." go out."

Li Zan's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard this. Who knows what Yuan Shao has not done yet? If he shows his skills again, my father will never let me go out to serve as an official in this life.

Thinking of this, Li Zan became more and more depressed.

Is this a student brought back, or a yoke?

He is already over [-] years old. At his age, the other children of the family who started slowly have already adopted Xiaolian and started to proceed step by step. The fast ones have now entered Luoyang and become officials in the capital. For example, Yuan Ji, who is older than He was promoted to Lang Guan in Shangshu Ling at a young age.

As for himself, he was idle at home, following those students who didn't know where they came from all day long. The scholars admired his father's glory and studied scriptures together.

After Li Zan said goodbye to his father, he walked out of the courtyard and planned to find a quiet place to rest.

"Brother, how did you get out of this trip?" Li Wan appeared from a corner not far away at the right moment.

Li Zan looked at his sister. He had every reason to believe that this girl had been waiting outside the gate of his father's courtyard, waiting for him to come out.

Facing this sister, he immediately showed a doting smile on his face. He leaned forward and stretched out his hand to touch Li Wan's long hair. Unstoppable memories suddenly came to his mind.

"So Yuan Shao, brother, how do you feel?" Li Wan went straight to the point without any hesitation.

Li Zan understood that his sister was gradually becoming interested in Yuan Shao.

With a smile on his lips, he shook his head in a mysterious manner: "He is so stupid that he doesn't even make people interested in him at all."

Indeed, Yuan Shao was such a perfect person that Li Zan had no interest in this guy who was about to imprison him for the rest of his life.

Li Wanmei's eyes were filled with anticipation, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Could it be that the old man was lying? This Yuan Shao is so unworthy, wouldn't his father destroy his reputation by accepting him as his student?"

Seeing that his sister had been led astray, Li Zan smiled happily and said, "Silly sister, how can I watch you jump into the brazier and be so miserable?"

Li Wan's pretty little face was filled with confusion, and she frowned slightly and said, "What does that mean, brother?"

Li Zan gave it a try and said, "My sister will be able to see him when he comes, so why rush him."
