Who is not Cao Cao?

Chapter 120 Hongnong Yang, Yang Xiu

"Take it away! Don't look at it!"

Guo Jia threw "Mencius" back, and sneered at it: "The truth in the book is one thing, but everything in the world is another."

He Yan, the ship sales leader...ah no, he is a promoter of new studies and he still doesn't give up: "Would you like to look it up?"

"do not want!"

Guo Jia still refused: "I already understood it when I was ten years old. It doesn't matter if it is Mencius or Confucius, what they preach is only four words other than a bunch of bullshit."

"what?"

"Win the king and lose the bandit!"

Guo Jia pointed at the "Mencius" in He Yan's hand with his chin:
"So, which scholar can write these four characters in a book? Have you written them in your book?"

"How can someone who can write these four characters still be a scholar?"

He Yan rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "You can't talk about this, otherwise it will be boring."

"cut."

For a smart person like Guo Jia... or a smart person who doesn't have this ambition, the so-called "new learning" is just a means, and it can't reach the point of accepting it.

Obviously, He Yan's first new study "offline" just failed.

Guo Jia got up and glanced at the woman one last time: "Go! Go to the brothel to see the girl!"

Still unwilling to give up, He Yan took out the "New Interpretation of the Book of Changes" and said to Guo Jia, "You look at this again? We'll go after reading it!"

For the sake of the girl, Guo Jia could only take the book over.

then……

"Clatter la la la."

Guo Jia said to He Yan with an innocent face: "It's over!"

"Your quantum reading, right?"

He Yan watched his hard work being ruined by Guo Jia, and couldn't help saying angrily: "Look at it again!"

"Wow~wow~wow."

"Look carefully!"

"Wow...huh?"

Guo Jia seemed to see something interesting: "The things in this book are really unique."

Pushing the book into his arms: "I will definitely read it when I go back!"

Under He Yan's skeptical eyes, Guo Jia repeatedly assured that this was what made He Yan agree to take him to the brothel.

"Master He?"

"Master He?"

As soon as they reached the gate of the brothel, two female voices sounded.

Looking intently, it was Liu Ying and Liu Yue.

"Master He! You are back!"

Liu Yue wore a deep dress with a curly skirt, not showing her feet, while Liu Ying behind her was wearing a crisp short dress.

"Master He is back?"

Liu Yue seems to have automatically brought into the role, becoming a wife who has been looking forward to her husband's return for a long time, and she is about to throw herself into He Yan's arms when she comes forward.

"Well, I'm back."

He Yan stretched out his long arm, and put his palm on Liu Yue's neckline, keeping the distance between himself and Liu Yue.

Liu Yue took a step back, and looked at He Yan without anger, but with a bit of shyness.

Guo Jia next to him looked at Liu Yue, and he always felt familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

"Mr. Xuande's daughters, didn't you say that you went to Xuzhou to capture them? You don't know each other now?"

Guo Jia suddenly realized: "Indeed, General Guan was trying to protect Liu Bei's wife and daughter, so I have an impression."

Afterwards, Guo Jia's complexion changed: "You must have done something to them, right? Are you afraid that General Guan will come and kill you?"

He Yan narrowed his eyes: "Do you think I look like that kind of person?"

"Ha ha."

Guo Jia's silent smile made the corners of He Yan's mouth twitch. In order to prove his innocence, He Yan asked Liu Yue directly: "Tell him what we did between us!"

Liu Yue blinked, a little embarrassed: "Is this not very good?"

He Yan:? ? ?

After coming out of the brothel.

Guo Jia felt a little top-heavy at this moment: "Marquis Shen, I'm convinced!"

"I didn't expect to be able to play so many tricks in a serious game. I'm really convinced!"

He Yan hiccupped: "Where is this? Most of these women are from the Central Plains, but they sound a bit tough when they say "中". When Sikong takes Jiangdong, find someone who speaks Wu Nong's soft language The little girl is more enjoyable!"

"It's a deal! It would be even better if there are a few women from the Western Regions!"

Just as the two of them talked about the grand development plan of the brothel, they suddenly bumped into a wall, and when they looked up, they found that it was Xu Chu's tall figure.

"Captain Xu?"

He Yan was still a little confused at first, but his mind quickly reminded him of one thing——

Xu Chu, who is a pendant, is here, so can Cao Cao go far?

Rubbing his eyes hard, He Yan really saw Cao Cao and a young man looking at him not far away.

"Sikong? Dezu?"

Guo Jia was also sober at this time, and immediately stood up straight when he saw the two of them.

"Good! Good!"

Cao Cao was so angry that he laughed back. He walked out of the darkness with hostility all over his body: "I've been looking for you for a long time, but you are fine! Huh?"

"One of my lieutenant Yao, a military adviser, unexpectedly ran out to drink at this time?"

In fact, Cao Cao was more likely to say: "One is my son, the other is my friend, you don't take me when you drink???"

Cao Cao glared at He Yan: "What are you doing standing there? Do you want to embarrass yourself in front of the public? Go in and talk!"

After that, Cao Cao walked into the brothel first...

There is no fireworks and bustle in the brothel, but it is light and elegant.

The walls are not decorated with gilt murals, but beautiful articles written in beautiful small characters.

Passing through the long corridor just entered, there is the sound of gurgling water flowing, and a long pavilion of flowing water turns back to expand the space, revealing a wide field of vision.

Seeing that a man broke in, the women among them were about to panic, but found that He Yan was following behind, so they calmed down.

Cao Cao looked around at Langyuan in Penglai, and was about to ask questions when he heard the sound of a piano.

Qins and zithers are playing in unison, bells and drums are playing in unison, curling clouds and mist are rising at the same time as musical notes, on a round platform behind the long pavilion, there are beautiful women pacing, and after a while, seven or eight women in tulle are on the round platform A very powerful dance began.

……

He Yan quietly walked behind Cao Cao: "Father, I will tell them to stop right now, let's talk about business."

"No hurry! Wait until they finish dancing!"

"okay!"

Two hours later...

The dancers who danced have changed from batch to batch. Cao Cao, who was still aggressive before, was lying on the special soft chair and let two girls massage his body.

But He Yan, Guo Jia, and the young man were obediently standing aside.

"Yuro!"

"The child is here!"

Cao Cao closed his eyes comfortably, and pointed at the young man: "Yang Xiu, Yang Dezu, who holds the position of doctor, is the son of Taichang Yang Biao."

Only then did He Yan know the identity of the young man.

Love is Yang Xiu, the joke master of later generations!
While Yang Xiu was speaking, he was also looking at He Yan.

In terms of who gained the most limelight after the Battle of Guandu, it must be He Yan.

But Yang Xiu refused to accept it!

The things He Yan did seem miraculous to outsiders, but to Yang Xiu, who is Cao Cao's little secretary, there is no secret at all.

It was nothing more than catching up with the infighting between the Hebei faction and the foreign faction, and being taken advantage of by He Yan!

As for how much real talent He Yan has... that is really unknown!

He Yan also observed Yang Xiu's contempt for him from Yang Xiu's eyes.

But He Yan was not angry either.

Genius, normal!

"I've heard about Langzhong Yang's name for a long time, but when I saw it today, it turned out to be the same as the rumors!"

"rumor?"

Yang Xiu didn't know his rumors yet, and he was a little puzzled in his words.

"It is rumored that Mr. Yang is very intelligent, today it is really obvious at a glance!"

Hearing He Yan's praise of his intelligence, Yang Xiu felt a little complacent, secretly thinking that his reputation had reached such a level!
"Mr. Yang, I just have a few questions that I can't get to the bottom of my mind. I wonder if Mr. Yang can answer one or two of them?"

"But it doesn't matter!"

Both Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at He Yan strangely.

Yang Xiu didn't know He Yan, but they did.

If He Yan can praise someone, it's almost as if the sun came out from the west. This kid must have no good intentions!
Things were indeed as they expected.

He Yan asked: "There is a saying, "If you don't move for a long time, then suddenly you move, the upper part is happy, but the lower part is very painful." I don't know if Mr. Yang knows what kind of movement this is?"

Yang Xiu blushed as soon as he heard the question, apparently thinking of some indescribable action.

The same is true for Cao Cao and Guo Jia.

Especially Cao Cao, staring at He Yan directly: "You boy! What are you asking? How can you say such unrefined words?"

He Yan's eyes widened: "Why don't you enter the hall of elegance?"

"Isn't this just fishing! What's wrong?"

fishing……

Yang Xiu and Guo Jia both covered their faces and fled, and Cao Cao was full of disbelief.

After He Yan finished speaking, he said regretfully: "Then I will ask one more question, Langzhong Yang needs to answer it now."

"But it doesn't matter!"

Yang Xiu forced himself to be serious, and was about to answer He Yan's question.

"Mao to Mao, flesh to flesh, it will be uncomfortable if you don't fight for a night."

"May I ask Lang Zhong if there is an answer to this meeting?"

Yang Xiu, who had calmed down just now, blushed again, faltering and refusing to speak.

"Could it be... the eyes?"

It was Guo Jia who figured it out and gave the correct answer.

"Feng Xiao is really smart!"

After adding a point to Guo Jia, He Yan asked again: "The two of you are facing each other, took off your clothes, and sweated because of a seam! Guess what this action is?"

Yang Xiu faltered again, but Cao Cao suddenly said something: "I often see this in the army!"

"Ok?"

Yang Xiu and Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao in horror, apparently they did not expect that all the soldiers under Cao Cao's command were such people.

"Saw wood, of course! Yulang! Am I right!"

"Father is worthy of being a father! Amazing!"

Yang Xiu: ...

He Yan looked at Yang Xiu with a disappointed face: "Mr. Yang is not as good as Feng Xiao and father? I am really disappointed."

Yang Xiu wanted to refute, but he couldn't find an excuse to refute. He could only hold back his strength, and his face turned red after a while.

"Yulang! Talk to Yang Langzhong!"

Still Cao Cao couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up to help Yang Xiu out.

"Yulang stop messing around, this time Dezu is here for a new study!"

"Oh?"

He Yan was looking at Yang Xiu right now.

Is it for new learning?
Now that He Yan has stepped into the vortex of Confucian classics, he also has a certain understanding of the relationship between each school.

Yang Xiu is actually not helpful to Xinxue.

But standing behind Yang Xiu is Yang Biao, the mascot of the Han court.

And behind Yang Biao stood the Hongnong Yang family, a super Confucian family.

but……

He Yan looked at Cao Cao strangely, as if asking: Why did you bring Hongnong Yang into this?
First of all, the Hongnong Yang family is a family of Confucian classics, or a family of Jinwen Confucian classics who passed on Ouyang's "Shangshu", and they are almost natural enemies of new learning.

Secondly, the Hongnong Yang family is different from the Runan Yuan family, and Yang Biao is also different from Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

They just rely on the imperial power to live by holding the thigh of the emperor of Han, almost entrusting their own prosperity and decline to the emperor.How can such an aristocratic family see Xinxue as a "rebellious" tool?

At last……

He Yan glanced at Yang Xiu and shook his head secretly.

There are different opinions about Yang Xiu's death in later generations, but in any case, he was indeed killed by Boss Cao himself.

He Yan didn't dare to say how benevolent Boss Cao is, he doesn't often kill people.But Boss Cao really didn't kill many people with Yang Xiu's status.

This guy must have done something disgusting in the end, forcing Boss Cao to kill him.The biggest possibility is that it has something to do with the Hongnong Yang family and even the emperor of Han.

even……

He Yan rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

In the future, the Sima clan will usurp the throne, and the Hongnong Yang clan will put a lot of effort behind it.

Such a person joining the team of new students... No matter how you look at it, it is a bit unbelievable.

However, Cao Cao didn't notice He Yanbo's sly eyes, but continued to sell Yang Xiu to He Yan: "Dezu was very interested in hearing about the new learning, so he wanted to discuss it with Yulang."

"Oh?"

Now He Yan looked at Yang Xiu even more strangely.

A person who studies Jinwen Confucianism is actually interested in new learning?

Ah!
Yang Xiu definitely has a ghost!

But He Yan didn't bring it up either, but quietly listened to Cao Cao's words.

What Cao Cao meant was to drag the big fish of the Hongnong Yang family into the water and into the pond of Xinxue.

In this way, Xinxue can naturally rely on this big fish to raise all boats.

Great idea.

But He Yan didn't believe it.

"Father, I can't decide this matter."

He Yan directly pretended to be a foreign guest in front of Cao Cao: "The master of the new learning is actually Hua Gong. I am just a benefactor of book binding, and I really don't have such qualifications."

Cao Cao finally discovered what was wrong with He Yan at this time, so he sent Yang Xiu and Guo Jia away under the pretext.

Seeing Yang Xiu leave, He Yan asked: "Father, did you really find Yang Xiu by yourself?"

"Not really."

Cao Cao was vague: "If you have any ideas, you can speak up."

Seeing Cao Cao like this, He Yan knew that Cao Cao and the Hongnong Yang family definitely had some shady deal!

Especially when He Yan told Cao Cao the suspicion in his heart, the mysterious smile on the corner of Cao Cao's mouth made He Yan more sure of this point.

"Does Yulang think that his father is confused? Didn't he know that the Yang family of Hongnong studied Jinwen Confucianism?"

"Don't worry, they won't mess around with this new study."

Regarding the deal with Hongnong Yang, Cao Cao did not tell He Yan, but only said a few words: "You can rest assured to play with Yang Xiu these few days, discuss knowledge, and go to places with a lot of people."

"Also, didn't I tell you to use 1000 million yuan to buy food? You only need to pay 500 million yuan, and someone else will make up for the rest of the money."

It's okay not to mention this, but He Yan became even more curious when he said it.

Hongnong Yang actually took out the benefit of 500 million yuan?
And look at Cao Cao's meaning... the 500 million yuan should only be an economic transaction, and there should be more important transactions elsewhere!
But judging from what Cao Cao meant, he probably didn't intend to tell He Yan.

"My child understands! Anyway, wait until February next year, and we will find out!"

Once there is a solar eclipse in February next year, as Xinxue deduced, there will inevitably be a huge storm in the court.

And Cao Cao will definitely not let go of this opportunity, he will definitely be a trader and make good use of this opportunity.

When the time comes, it will be clear at a glance what Cao Cao is planning.

"You boy."

Hearing what He Yan said, Cao Cao also laughed and cursed, obviously acquiescing to the deal with Hongnong Yang.

"Also, it's about farming."

Cao Cao looked at He Yan with great interest: "Do you know that Han Hao who advocated farming and Ren Jun, the general of Diannong Zhonglang, are asking for someone from me?"

"Who do you want?"

He Yan swallowed: "It can't be me, can it?"

"It's you!"

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Ren Jun has praised you several times, saying that you must have been a good farmer in the past!"

"Han Hao seems to have listened to Shi Huan's advice and wants to use fried noodles as military rations. In this way, he will need to grow a lot of flax."

Cao Cao smiled treacherously: "I think about it, it seems that this is indeed the case. Why don't you change Yulang, you, Captain Yao, into Captain Diannong, and you go to farm?"

"..."

He Yan suddenly "wailed loudly": "Father! I just came back! I haven't even seen my mother a few times! How can you have the heart to throw me to farm!"

Cao Cao let He Yan howl, and he remained unmoved.

Seeing that it didn't work, He Yan revealed his tearless eyes and looked at Cao Cao depressedly.

"Don't cry! Lieutenant Diannong, most people don't have to do it if they want to!"

It’s a joke to ask He Yan to be the captain of Diannong. What Cao Cao really wants is another thing from He Yan——

"Since someone gave you 500 million dollars, your money will be idle, so just plant some flax."

"In a few days, I will ask Xun Yu to designate a field for planting flax, and I will charge you five bushels of flax per mu. Isn't that too much?"

He Yan wanted to resist, but when he saw Cao Cao's smile, he gritted his teeth and said, "Not too much!!!"

It is amazing that one mu of land can produce seven or eight buckets of flax. Cao Cao actually wants five buckets?

Ah!
Evil feudal government!
Moreover, the cost of growing flax as a cash crop instead of a food crop will definitely be frighteningly high. It is estimated that the 500 million yuan will be fully invested within a few years.

but……

He Yan made a calculation in his mind.

Flax is also expensive to sell!

If it can increase the production of food, this kind of flax... seems to be profitable?
