After telling Blacksmith about these three items, Liu Heng came out. He felt that he had to slowly recruit some guards now!
Although Zhen Yi had brought some guards for Liu Heng, they were not enough.
Moreover, Liu Heng did not want to rely entirely on the Zhen family's power. Otherwise, if his power was strong in the future, the Zhen family might become unstable and threaten his position as the lord!
For his sake, and for the sake of the Zhen family, Liu Heng must not give everything to the Zhen family!
Therefore, he had to have his own power! However, it was still too early to talk about these things. He and the Zhen family were still in their honeymoon period, so there was no rush!
Thinking about it now was just to prevent it from happening!
This small village was now called Longhu Village because of Liu Heng. Almost all the people in the village were Liu Heng's subordinates.
Liu Heng also planned to use this small village as a base for his Pengfei. In order to facilitate the transportation of goods in the future, Liu Heng sent people to the county town to recruit some people to help build a road from here to the county town and county city!
In this era, although the Great Demon King Dong Zhuo had yet to control the Great Han Dynasty and cause chaos in the world and the people to live in poverty, the Great Han Dynasty was still in a state of chaos.
However, natural disasters and man-made disasters continued to happen. Therefore, there were still many people who did not have enough to eat. When people heard that the young master of Longhu Villa wanted to find someone to repair the road, and that he would provide food and pay, they all rushed to Longhu Villa with their families!
Liu Heng was shocked by this! He originally only wanted to recruit a few hundred people, but now there were almost ten thousand people. How could he not use them!
However, when he saw the pale expressions of these commoners, he could not help but sigh. Liu Heng was reluctant to chase them away again!
Although he knew that the people of this era were very miserable, he had only seen it in books in the past. Now, it was right in front of his eyes! How could he not be moved?
Liu Heng felt the weight of history weighing down on him from these refugees!
He wanted to seize the world as soon as possible and create a living space for these people to eat!
For all of this, Liu Heng decided to keep all these people! Anyway, Zhen Yi had brought a large amount of food with him this time. He did not have to worry about running out of food in the short term!
However, in order to ensure the survival of these commoners, Liu Heng still sent people to the Zhen family to transfer a batch of food over!
He didn't take in these people entirely out of compassion. In any case, the surrounding thousands of acres of land were all his. He didn't have the time to fiddle with them, so he found some people.
Not only could they carry out production, but they could also hide the things that were about to be produced in those workshops. No one would be suspicious of this place!
However, although Liu Heng had done all this unintentionally, his reputation as a great philanthropist who built bridges and paved roads and took in refugees had spread throughout Zhongshan Prefecture. Even the entire Jizhou had begun to spread his name!
Liu Heng's act of kindness was also praised by the governor of Jizhou at that time. Liu Yan found out!
After sending people to inquire, he found out that this great Liu Heng was also a relative of the Han clan. According to seniority, he was still his nephew. Therefore, based on the principle of not letting the fertile water flow into the fields of others, Liu Yan decided to recommend Liu Heng as filial and honest!
In this way, Liu Heng could be considered a person with a reputation!
Liu Heng knew that the news would be a month later! He did not expect things to turn out this way. He could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly!
On the other hand, Zhen Yi, who was sitting opposite him, looked very happy!
Originally, he was a little unhappy with Liu Heng's actions and felt that Liu Heng had mobilized a large number of people. However, after hearing that the provincial governor wanted to promote Liu Heng as filial and honest, he felt that Liu Heng's actions were not good enough.
Only then did he start to admire Liu Heng and began to distribute money to settle this matter!
Moreover, he felt that this was a great opportunity for Liu Heng to start his career!
Lord Liu Yan was the governor of Jizhou and a relative of the Han clan. His reputation was not small. With his care, Liu Heng's official career would be much more convenient!
Therefore, he had Liu Heng quickly get to know the Provincial Governor. Liu Yan, build a good relationship with Liu Yan!
Tong Yuan, who had already come out of seclusion, sat at the side and encouraged Liu Heng to do so!
He knew that Liu Heng had been busy for the past two months, but he was glad that he had not forgotten about his martial arts training!
His requirements for Liu Heng and Zhao Yun were different!
He didn't want Liu Heng and Zhao Yun to spend all their time practicing martial arts. He also hoped that he could do something practical!
After knowing that Liu Heng had done such a great deed, he was also very gratified. After all, he had educated his disciples to serve the country and the people!
Liu Heng had already begun to do so. Of course, he was very pleased! He naturally wouldn't object to allowing his disciple to advance further!
Moreover, since Liu Heng was also a relative of the Han clan, it was only natural for him to be on good terms with Liu Yan, his uncle!
Liu Heng agreed when he heard Zhen Yi and Tong Yuan's words!
It just so happened that the first batch of wine had already been brewed! After Liu Heng tasted it, he was still a little dissatisfied. He felt that there was still a certain gap between it and modern white wine.
However, Tong Yuan, who loved wine, and Zhen Yi, who had tasted all the fine wines in the world, were full of praises.
Liu Heng did not blame the craftsmen, but encouraged them to continue working hard!
Since he wanted to befriend Liu Yan, Liu Heng decided to use this wine to pave the way. This was also in line with the publicity strategy that Liu Heng had mentioned at the beginning!
After receiving the official document from the Jizhou Provincial Governor's Office, Liu Heng and Zhen Yi left Longhu Manor and prepared to go to the Jizhou Prefecture. Ye Chengcheng wanted to thank his uncle, Liu Yan, and make friends with him. At the same time, he wanted to build a good reputation for his wine!
Liu Heng followed Zhen Yi out of Zhongshan Prefecture and went to Ye City to meet Liu Yan!
At that time, Ye City was the largest city in Jizhou, and Jizhou was the wealthiest state at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
With a population of more than five million, it could be said to be the largest province in the Eastern Han! The two of them drank ten jars of newly brewed wine and prepared to offer it to Liu Yan.
It wasn't far from Zhongshan to Ye City, but the two of them had to travel in a carriage for several days. This kind of traffic situation made Liu Heng speechless!
No wonder the transmission of information in ancient times was so slow! One reason was that their communication methods were outdated, but the condition of the roads was probably also a major factor!
When he became the governor, he would definitely repair these roads. He could not repair the asphalt roads, but at the very least, he would have to build a flat hard dirt road!
Liu Heng thought to himself. As the saying goes, one's butt determines one's thoughts, because Liu Heng's butt was uncomfortable along the way.
That was why he wanted to build roads. Therefore, in his territory, roads could be said to extend in all directions!
