After entering the city, the soldiers in charge of escorting Liu and his gang said goodbye to Liu Kun and others under the leadership of the leader, and then went to the barracks outside the city to report. Soon, another official in charge of courtesy came over and brought Liu Kun and others to the post station, and arranged a residence for them.

When the clerk left, he said to Liu Kun: "The general was very happy to know that the envoy had arrived. He would hold a banquet at Baicaolou tonight and meet with the mansion later."

Liu Kun nodded and returned his greeting, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, General."

As soon as the person left, he came to the table to sit down and sighed.

His son Liu Qunzheng sighed at the elegance and tranquility in the house. He heard the old father sighing and couldn't help asking why.

Liu Kun looked at his son, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I look at Youzhou, which is really a sign of great governance. I am afraid it will be a place for the great Han Dynasty to dig a grave!"

"Why did my father say this?" Liu Qun shook his head, "Although there was not much stopping along the way, the counties, villages and towns along the way were all living and working in peace. Not only were there no hunger, but there were also excess food. This scene is beyond the frontier, even in the hinterland of the Central Plains Prefecture, it is unimaginable! It can be seen that the general can govern the people!"

"Youzhou is so prosperous and peaceful, and it is also due to the powerful Xuanjia Army! The bandits and horse bandits in Youzhou were wiped out by all the strong troops. Therefore, the territory is peaceful. You cannot say that you don't pick up the remains on the road, but you can never close your door at night and see no trace of the bandits! Even if the three generations of rule are just like this!"

"It is even more rare, and there are many constraints that make the officials of the county and county very wise. In the previous county town, you also heard that the county magistrate's case have been decided. It is even more rare. Corps and others also need to have files to submit. The officials of the swordsman must record and archive them, and they must be checked regularly. The files must be copied and handed over to the general's office for regular review. Because of supervision, this is implemented, and it is not a formal move, which is a real strategy to govern the people..."

...

As soon as he talked about his experiences on the road, Liu Qun kept talking. Not only did he lose his rejection of Youzhou, but he also had a vague sense of yearning and longing, which was completely different from when he first proposed to go north to find the Tuoba tribe.

Seeing his son transformed into Youchu, Liu Kun's face became even more ugly. He interrupted his son and said, "We came from Bingzhou. How long has Bingzhou been occupied by the Huns? What is the scene now?"

Liu Qun frowned, showed disgust and said, "Bingzhou was so prosperous. After falling into the hands of the Huns, it has been wars over the years. The Huns were wild and had not yet escaped. Even without the pressure from the court, they would fight themselves. They said that they were establishing a country in an organization, but in the end they were still tribes and attacking the tribes continuously. Even Liu Cong and Liu Yi had to lead people to confront each other, but they suffered the aristocratic families and people in Bingzhou!"

"The Huns have been in the territory far longer than the Chen family, but now Youzhou is more prosperous than Bingzhou. This is a hidden danger," Liu Kun did not hide his concerns at all. "It's not just here, but Jizhou is in chaos, and several families are in turmoil, and Qingxu is also in turmoil. Even Sizhou cannot escape the impact. But Youzhou is booming. People's hearts and luck are probably going to move from the turbulent place to the peace."

"What's the use of thinking about this?" Liu Qun seemed to have seen it away, but instead comforted his father, "If this is a general trend, we can't stop it. If it is a minor trend, we don't need to worry. Besides, Chen Shouyi was born in the Chen family in Pengcheng, and was a Chinese descendant. It was better than the Xiongnu and Jie people!"

Listening to the unconsciously revealed meaning of his son's words, Liu Kun sighed even more, but knew that there was some truth in this statement, so he no longer continued to get involved. Moreover, the father and son had to prepare for a meeting with Chen Zhi, and even pack up the things first.

Although they had not arrived in Ji County these days, Chen Zhi sent people to express condolences one after another. These people brought a lot of items, all of which were taken away by the Liu father and son. Now when they arrived at the place, they slowly took them out and placed them.

When I got it to the end, there were a few sweet potatoes in the box.

This thing was not sent by Chen Zhi, but by Liu Kun on the way.

Liu Qun packed up his things and happened to see his father's actions. He came over and saw this thing and said, "My father, do you want to plant this thing?"

Liu Kun nodded and said, "Yes, this thing is very wonderful, and the unique taste is secondly. The key is that the yield is not small and can survive in a harsh environment. The people of Youzhou can be rich. This thing has great achievements. If it can be successfully cultivated and promoted to various places, wouldn't it be a great virtue?"

Liu Qun disagreed and said, "Sweet potatoes taste average, not top-quality, or promotion, and they will not be popular with the people. It is difficult to become a climate. I heard that this thing was ordered to be promoted by the General's Office. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid that ordinary people would not grow it. It's not easy for this thing to grow. It took Youzhou more than two years to stabilize it."

"When you are hungry, how can you care about a lot?" Liu Kun regarded a few sweet potatoes as treasures. "Whether it takes time or promotes it, this thing is worth a try no matter what!"

Seeing that his father insisted, Liu Qun didn't say much. When the things were almost done, they first asked someone to inform him, went to the general's mansion and met Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhizheng was busy with affairs. When he heard that Liu Kun had arrived, he still let go of the matter and came to meet him.

When the two sides met, they just greeted each other. Liu Kun had a lot to say, but he saw that Chen Zhi was busy, so he stopped talking nonsense and said goodbye.

Chen Zhi politely tried to keep him, and finally decided on the evening time, which allowed him to see him off.

"Father, I talk to the general. He admires me very much. It is time to strike while the iron is hot. Why do you say goodbye in a hurry? If the general misunderstands and thinks that we are intentionally alienated, wouldn't it be a mistake?"

On the way back, Liu Qun seemed a little dissatisfied. He was talking face to face with the actual controller of Youzhou in front of Chen Zhi, and was really excited, even more excited than when he met several royal princes in the capital.

Driven by the turbulent emotions, Liu Qun talked loudly in front of Chen Zhi, talking about his experiences along the way and the thoughts that arise along the way. After receiving a few words of praise from Chen Zhi, he felt good about himself, but unexpectedly his father suddenly said goodbye, so of course he was not happy.

Liu Kun said, "It was not your expression at that time. If you really wanted to become an official in Youzhou and make a career, instead of talking big in front of Chen Shouyi, it would be better to find his collection of essays, study it carefully, and participate in the next essay. This is the right way."

Liu Qun's face changed a little, and finally nodded, thinking that what his father said made sense, but then he said uneasy: "Do I have to restrain myself at that dinner party that night? Don't you say more?"

Liu Kun shook his head helplessly and said, "If the general asks you during the dinner party, then you will answer, don't talk about your own benefits. Just praise Youzhou. If you don't ask you, then keep silent, just eat and drink."

After hearing this mention, Liu Qun was a little unwilling to accept it, but he knew his father's knowledge, so he nodded and agreed.

Liu Kun felt relieved, but was a little uneasy. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't find the reason. He just thought it was because he was a newcomer and was not adapted to the local environment.
