Capítulo 75: Bringing Tribute Back To Luoyang
Cai Yong goes silent and begins to think about what Lie Fan said, he indeed goes into hiding to hide from the eunuchs to not implicate his family and his daughter whom he left in the Capital, living in hiding in the land of Wu is indeed very dangerous and he needs his wit to stay alive and it's boring as he doesn't have anything to do so Lie Fan proposal is very tempting
Hua Tuu on the side can see that Lie Fan is trying to make Cai Yong stays in Xiapi as he is interested in the talent that Cai Yong has and Hua Tuo feels it's not bad having a friend here stays in Xiapi at least it will not be boring.
Hua Tuo: "Brother Cai, it's true what Inspector Lie said the land is very dangerous right now with bandits and Yellow Turbans remnant going rampant, only Xu Province is safe thanks to Inspector Lie's initiative to clean up Xu Province"
Lie Fan hearing that Hua Tuo is also persuading Cia Yong began to feel happy as this is definitely a scenario that he never predicted that Hua Tuo is helping him persuade Cai Yong to stay.
Cai Yong: "We'll If Inspector Lie feels that I'm not a burden for you living here in Xiapi then I will stay and spend some time with Master Hua Tuo here to reinforce my body."
Lie Fan: "That's great! I hope that Master Cai Yong can help give my subordinate some pointers in dealing with administrative things when you have the time and are willing to do so of course."
Cai Yong gave a smile and nodded at Lie Fan's request, Hua Tui on the side also happy that he had a friend to talk with in Xiapi so with Cai Yong staying in Xiapi for a while Hua Tuo also explained some things that he would do here in Xiapi including his partnership with Lie Fan.
Lie Fan is at the side watching the two of them talk and slide some words here and there, at the same time using Erlang Shen Eyes he tries to see the attributes both of them Possess.
•Hua Tuo
INT: 585(Max) WIS: 112 VIT: 50 CHR: 74
•Cai Yong
INT: 570 (Max) WIS: 105 VIT: 62 CHR: 80
Both of them have decent stats, but Hua Tuo will never become an advisor as he is a walking medicine that needs to be fully utilized according to his talent which is curing sick people. Cai Yong will become a great administrator and advisor to him, and also an able domestic minister especially in the education and the rite department.
While the both of them haven't officially sworn loyalty to him, eventually they will do so as sooner or later the powder keg in Luoyangbwill explode and maybe he will be the one to push it so it will explode providing a perfect smile cover for him to do his own thing.
Cai Yong: "Inspector Lie, May I ask for your help to escort my Clan from Luoyang to come here to Xiapi when you finish your business in Luoyang?"
Lie Fan: "Of Course Master Cai Yong, please draft a letter with your signature and maybe some code that only your family knows so that they will not be suspicious of me and trust me as I was sent by you."
Cai Yong: "Haha! Thank You Inspector Lie, I will give you the letters as soon as possible."
Lie Fan: "It's not a big problem, I also wanted to bring My Family Luoyang to come here and live in Xiapi as Luoyang became more chaotic thanks to the war between the 2 factions."
Both Hua Tuo and Cai Yong agree with what Lie Fan said, Even though Cai Yong has run to hide from the Eunuchs but he still keeps tabs on the situation in the Imperial Courts to see what the situation is there. Hua Tuo has some doctor friends working for the Health Ministry in Luoyang so he also knows the news.
After talking for a bit Lie Fan decided to take his life and go back to his quarters, if you're asking how Lie Fan doesn't sleep in his own mansion in Xiapi even though he is the Inspector of Xiapi it's because the mansion is under renovation as it's was used by the former Governor of Xiapi and designed to lavishly so it's will be turned back to the old design as it will attract attention of others if he doesn't do that.
One month passed by, and Lie Fan was told that the tributes had been prepared and ready to be sent. He ordered for the emissary of each city to be rewarded as they marched here to Xiapi without rest, especially Guangling who was the farthest.
The Hospital and medicine warehouse construction has been finished, Lie Fan came to the location and inspected both buildings. The hospital is perfect, a 3-story building with a large lobby and plaque for each room, The second floor is the doctor's room, and the third floor is room for people like Hua Tuo and the medicine storage.
Hua Tuo and Cai Yong followed Lie Fan when he inspected the hospital, Hua Tuo was satisfied with it as this was the biggest hospital he ever made and with the 10 apprentices or helpers he should say given by Lie Fan to help him at the same time teaching them the hospital can operate normally.
The medicine warehouse is located behind the hospital protected by Oriole and City Guards, it's like a modern warehouse where its room was designated to store each type of herb or medicinal plant and animal materials.
Lie Fan is wearing his armor and bringing his halberd atop his horse waiting for the final inspection of his party before they march bringing tributes of crops to Luoyang, his party consists of 3.000 Soldiers to protect him and the tributes alongside Huang Zhong as his general, his bodyguards, and Jia Xu.
When the inspection was done and everything was ready, Lie Fan led the party to march toward Luoyang. Chen Gui and Chen Deng were sending him off as both of them knew that when Lie Fan returned from Luoyang that means the chaos would truly begin.
On the way towards Luoyang, when Lie Fan's party entered Yu Province they met with groups of bandits and Yellow Turbans remnant that they defeated easily. Lie Fan can see that Yu Province is still full of Yellow Turban remnants so he thinks of petitioning the Emperor to let his army enter and clean them up so they can be taken as prisoners and forced to work under the Tuntian System.
As he is now bringing tributes to the Emperor, Lie Fan decides to execute the Yellow Turban remnants to not show him down. When they passed through Yu Province and entered Yan Province Yellow Turban remnant numbers were smaller than in Yu Province with the groups they were facing.
Lie Fan spent more than a month before he reached Luoyang, Lie Fan stationed his army outside the gate and entered the capital accompanied by 100 soldiers to bring the tribute, His bodyguards, and Jia Xu rode towards the Imperial Palace.
When he arrives at the palace, Lie Fan is shocked as he is told that the Court has just started as the Emperor has just arrived at the court. Lie Fan snickers as looks like Emperor Ling began to enjoy his lavish life more and more forgetting his duties which is great as he will not keep the 2 warring factions in check.
Lie Fan waited in front of the palace for a while as the court was still in session, he waited for 2 hours before it ended and he could come inside bringing some soldiers holding chests full of crops while his bodyguards and Jia Xu waited outside.
Imperial Guard: "Inspector Lie Fan of Xu Province has arrived!"
All the people at the court were shocked to hear that the Young Inspector came here to Luoyang, at Military Officials line Zhu Jun, Huangfu Sing, and Lu Zhi were happy to see this nephew come back to Luoyang while at the civil officials line Xun You and Wang Yun was ecstatic that Lie Fan finally come back as that means they can discuss their plans again and can invite Lie Fan to join He Jin's Faction.
Lie Fan: "Lie Fan The Inspector Of Xu Province greets Your Majesty The Emperor!"
Emperor Ling: "Haha Inspector Lie has come, please stand up. What brings Inspector Lie back to Luoyang?"
Lie Fan: "I came here bringing tributes of crops from the People of Xu Province as a sign of gratitude for Your Majesty's mercy at the tax that was imposed on Xu Province!"
Emperor Ling: "Haha! Good, looks like Inspector Lie has worked hard in revitalizing Xu Province so that the people can give their crops to Us."
Everyone at the court sees that Emperor Ling is happy with the 'tribute' that Lie Fan brings to him, He Jin who was standing at the front in the Military Officials line becomes more satisfied with Lie Fan and whispers to his allies to find ways to invite Lie Fan to join their faction
Zhang Rang who was standing at the side of Emperor Ling was satisfied with Lie Fan's tributes as Emperor Ling would give this to the eunuch to handle which they can take some for their personal use, he was thinking of inviting him to his faction to fight against He Jin.
Lie Fan: "Your Majesty, I wanted to petition something to Your Majesty!"
Emperor Ling: "What do Inspector Lie wanted to petition to me?"
Lie Fan: "I requested the approval of His Majesty allowing me to lead my armies in Yu Province to help the officials there in eliminating Yellow Turban remnants!"
Emperor Ling: "Inspector Lie truly cares for the people, I allowed Inspector Lie to do so! Inspector Wang, I hope you can cooperate with Inspector Lie."
Wang Yun who was called out replied that he would cooperate with Lie Fan to help him eliminate Yellow Turban remnants, he knew that this was Lie Fan's chance to gain more merit which he would gladly help as they were on the same side.
After that when Emperor Ling wanted to leave the Court suddenly a 50-year-old man standing in the civil official's line called for Emperor Ling saying that he had something he wanted to petition to him, Everyone at the court turned his heads toward this person and Lie Fan also turned his head when heard the name of this person from people whispering behind him he knew he will see a good show
