August 25, the fifth year of Xiping!

Hu Mansion Study Room.

Hu Guang received a letter from Liaodong. The old man sat cross-legged after several cases, slowly took apart the fire paint and started to look through it casually.

The reason why Hu Guang has such a behavior is that in the past two years, the correspondence between Li Man and Hu Guang has been mostly focused on reminiscing about family matters.

In Hu Guang's view, Li Man has already become a sect and can stand alone. Therefore, in the past two years, when his exchanges with Li Man have rarely talked about official business, the content of the two people's conversations is mainly about health preservation and children.

This move also means avoiding suspicion.

First of all, Hu Guang's identity was too sensitive. Although he was an old minister of the Six Dynasties and had countless halos and honors, under his high position, countless eyes were staring at him all the time. If he was not careful, he would end up with a tragic ending that would never be restored.

Hu Guang was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty all his life. He didn't want to end up with a tragic ending of losing his fortune in the evening.

Secondly, Li Man, as a chief official in charge of a county, should not have been too close to the bosses in the court.

If Li Man and Hu Guang were not both loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, they would probably have reached several feet high.

Hu Guang narrowed his turbid eyes and looked at Zuo Bo paper in his hand carelessly. The beginning of the article always had no new greetings, but Hu Guang seemed to be reading it word by word before he could stop.

Hu Guang treated Li Man three points more intimate than his own nephew.

Hu Guang often told people: When discussing papers, Bo Ji should be praised as the best.

When talking about martial arts, Zi Zhong is the hero. However, Zi Zhong is the only one who is good at both civil and military affairs.

Therefore, among all the disciples, the only one who passed on my robe and bowl was Zizhong.

Whenever Cai Yong heard this, he could only sigh helplessly. There was no way. Master Hu liked people who were both civil and military.

Furthermore, the Li family had a very good reputation. Li Man's ancestors and fathers were all wise and had a good relationship with Hu Guang during his tenure.

Li Man is a father who is diligent in the affairs of the king. His ability is even less said, it is hard to dislike such a person.

Hu Guang's youngest son, Hu Shuo, was thirty years old at the age of thirty. Because Hu Guang was getting older, Hu Shuo resolutely resigned from his official position and often accompanied Hu Guang. He settled his province every morning and evening to take care of his father's daily life.

At this time, Hu Shuo, who was standing respectfully on one side of the case, watched his father's face turn from joy to more and more solemn, until he frowned into the character "chuan".

Hu Shuo came to Hu Guang with a puzzled look on his face and looked at Zuo Bo paper in his father's hand.

Hu Guang did not mean to carry him on his back, so he handed the Zuo Bo paper in his hand to Hu Shuo and let him look through it. He sighed: "This is a strategy for treating locusts by Zi Zhongcheng and his father. Once this strategy is released, there will be no locusts in the world, which can be regarded as a way to benefit the country and the people."

There are no locusts in the world, which is purely an exaggerated statement from Hu Guang’s excitement. It should not be true! It is effective to be managed, but it is true!

Hu Shuo looked at the strategies of treating locusts with one eye, and his face turned flushed, and said excitedly: "Zi Zhong has the talent of conquering heaven and earth, which is indeed a blessing for the Han Dynasty."

Hu Guang nodded with a smile when he heard this, and said, "I will change my clothes for my father, and I will enter the palace to see the palace."

Hu Shuo heard this and quickly made a promise, and with the help of the maid in the mansion, he changed his clothes for Hu Guang.

After a long time.

Hu Guang was wearing a red and white wide sleeves, a court robe, and a three-beam crown with a golden seal and purple ribbon on his waist. He was wearing a pair of pointed square shoes. He walked out of the study slowly. With Hu Shuo's support, he went to the Yimen Gate to get on the bus, and then went straight to the palace.

The carriage walked to the palace gate and stopped slowly.

Hu Guang sorted out his clothes and appearance outside the palace gate, and then, under the guidance of a eunuch, walked straight to the Chongde Hall of the Nangong.

As we walked along the way, everyone saw it and took the initiative to greet him.

When I walked outside Chongde Hall, I saw Zhang Rang standing in front of the palace gate, looking at him with a smile.

When Hu Guang walked closer, Zhang Rang bowed slightly and smiled and said, "Hello, Gongshu Hu?"

Hu Guang nodded and said, "Can Your Majesty be in the hall?"

"Here, Your Majesty learned that Mr. Hu had entered the palace to ask for a meeting, so he ordered his servants to wait for Mr. Hu here."

"I have something important to ask Your Majesty to see you. Please ask the Secretary Zhang Chang to pass on his behalf." Hu Guang said in a deep voice.

"Honor Hu waited." Zhang Rang said, and turned around and walked towards the hall.

After a moment.

Zhang Rang returned, stood on the steps with a solemn expression, looked down at Hu Guang, and said in the voice of the duck: "Your Majesty passed on the Grand Tutor to meet you."

Hu Guang raised his hand and stroked the hat on his head, tidied up his appearance, went to the palace gate to take off his shoes, and then stepped into the palace.

Seeing this, Zhang Rang followed closely behind.

After entering the hall and after the salute, Liu Hong ordered Zhang Rang to attend the seat for Hu Guang and said, "I don't know where the Taifu is from?"

Hu Guang was about to get up and reply, but Liu Hong said softly: "The Taifu is old and does not have to live in red tape and is exempt from gifts."

Hu Guang was not pretentious, bowed slightly, thanked Your Majesty, and then told him the purpose of this trip: "I have reported to Your Majesty. In recent years, I have discussed and confirmed the issue of locust control in recent years. After years of research, I have taken the essence and removed the dross, and finally came up with an effective strategy for locust control. Today I entered the palace. I want to present this to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to read it."

"Oh?" Liu Hong was overjoyed when he heard this and said impatiently: "Come on it quickly."

Zhang Rang repeatedly promised to present the strategy of locust control engraved on bamboo slips in front of the imperial court.

On the way back, Hu Guang re-copied a copy of the locust control strategy. Now this is a copy, and the original manuscript has been left in the carriage by Hu Guang.

Hu Guang has been immersed in the officialdom for a lifetime, and Li Man's little little can naturally be hidden from Hu Guang's eyes. Hu Guang is not an ignorant person. Hu Guang thought that since Li Man wanted to hide his merits and fame, he would be able to fulfill him.

As for why Li Man had to hide his merits and fame, this question is not difficult to guess. Compared to entering Beijing to serve, border counties are more suitable for Li Man, and the people of Liaodong need civil and military talents like Li Man.

It is precisely because of this that Li Man had to hide his merits and fame. Otherwise, the emperor would probably transfer him to Beijing for office on the grounds of his merits.

The reason why Li Man made such a decision was because Li Yang asked his father to stay in Liaodong on the grounds that the people of Liaodong needed a prefect who was both civil and military, to guard the frontiers for the Han Dynasty and to resist foreign races for the people.

Li Yang played a crucial role in this matter.

Li Yang is still young and cannot make decisions on many things by himself, but he can achieve the goals he wants to achieve by influencing Li Man.

As a time traveler, Li Yang is familiar with the direction of history. Before the troubled times come, he must make plans in advance, otherwise, if he is not careful, he will end up in a tragic way.

In a chaotic world, central officials are far less important than local prefects.

When the emperor is useless, the vassal officials who control the people's livelihood and hold the people's life and death are the actual rulers of the country.

"Okay!" Liu Hong exclaimed and said excitedly: "This plan is very good. The Grand Tutor is a great talent, and he can be at peace with the world."

Hu Guang bowed slightly and said modestly: "Your Majesty has praised you wrongly. This is the duty of the minister. You should not be praised like this."

Liu Hong laughed heartily and said, "This plan of the Taifu is to recreate the people, and it is actually a move that benefits the country and the people."

Hu Guang bowed again after hearing this and said, "Your Majesty is wise, rare in ancient and modern times. The ancients have always said that a wise ruler will be wise. If you are lucky enough to get this good strategy, it is up to Your Majesty to be a great man, and it is actually God who blesses the Han Dynasty."

After a long time, Zhang Rang could not bear it anymore and finally made a statement to interrupt the unnutritional praise between the king and his ministers.

Zhang Rang looked at Liu Hong with a burning look, bowed and smiled, "How should such a good plan be implemented?"

Liu Hong was slightly stunned when he heard this, then lowered his head and fell into deep thought!

After a long time!

Liu Hong, who had no clue, frowned and looked at Hu Guang, asking for advice: "Does the Taifu have any good ideas?"

Hu Guang's mouth curled up a slight curve and said, "Although this is a good idea, I'm afraid that the people won't buy it."

The people have limited ability to accept new things, or in other words, they like a stable life and do not like to introduce new things.

Throughout history, many dynasties have introduced new actions to benefit the country and the people, but the people do not buy it. In this way, no matter how good the policies are, they cannot be well implemented.

Liu Hong and Zhang Rang nodded at the same time.

After a pause, Hu Guang continued: "We can find a county first, promote it, and try it."

"Where should I try it?" Liu Hong nodded slowly and asked.

"Youzhou, Liaodong County." Hu Guang replied: "This is a brief creation by the ministers and Zizhong. Zizhong knows it very well. Your Majesty can order Zizhong to implement it on his behalf."

Liu Hong's mouth curled up a faint curve, nodded slightly, and immediately agreed, "Sure."

Liu Hong and Hu Guang were like mirrors in their hearts. If they wanted to promote the new strategy, they must be implemented by a rank of officials who knew the new strategy well, had outstanding abilities, had strong skills and high prestige. Li Man happened to perfectly meet the above many of the conditions.
