Chapter 204 Xi Yu: Are you resigning?Great, it's a deal!

Chapter 204 Xi Yu: Are you resigning?Great, it's a deal!

When Tao Qian ruled Xuzhou in his early years, he was actually a person who hated the poor and loved the rich. As a member of the Danyang sect, Tao Qian had a good relationship with the gentry.

Therefore, you can support your own Danyang soldiers.

Afterwards, when the Danyang soldiers grew stronger, the gentry withdrew some of their support, resulting in the failure of the Danyang soldiers and horses to grow stronger. However, those with foresight and talents from poor families, after seeing the situation clearly, would not continue to stay in Xuzhou, and would rather go away.

Therefore, the talents in Xuzhou gradually left only the gentry.

Xi Yu settled the matter here, went back to the courtyard, slept beautifully, and then found out what it was like to be a free man in charge of soldiers in Xuzhou...

It seems to be very good!

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one can control it, what you want to do depends on your ability, and there are no clansmen from the Cao family and Xiahou family to make trouble.

Kind of comfortable.

No wonder Sima Yi, who was originally scheduled for history... Even if he endured his prostatitis, he still had to endure a chance to go out and take charge of the army.

……

The next day, as soon as the Xiahou brothers left, Cao Bao joined Xi Yu and received some standard armaments hoarded by the supply camp. He was immediately overjoyed. The 2500 members of the Cao Bao tribe all received the chain mail made by Shen Tie.

There are also hooked sickles and iron stirrups.

After discarding the cloth stirrups, I got the iron stirrups, which can exert more strength by stepping on them, which are harder and firmer.

Chen Deng panicked immediately. This matter meant that Xi Yu had already mastered the Danyang soldiers. In addition, Cao Ren's own trilogy must also follow the arrangement, so naturally nothing will happen.

So in Chen Deng's mansion, the Confucian scholars who had been called to report in front of Xi Yu gathered together. Regardless of their age, these Confucian scholars were all of one mind with Chen Deng.

"Nowadays, Xuzhou's military affairs are completely owned by Xi Fengyi, and Yuanlong can't get in at all," said an old man named Chen Zhong.

Chen Chong is a highly respected old man of the Chen clan, and now he is the county magistrate.

Chen Deng said with a gloomy face: "Fortunately, the internal affairs still belong to our self-reliance. Among the gentry, there are a large number of books and more than 100 local officials. If they are dismissed and resigned in one go, it will definitely affect the stability of the entire Xuzhou."

"Yes, we only need to meet certain requirements of Mr. Xi, not big or small, and then we can follow his orders, and if we encounter difficult things, or things that involve the fundamentals of our existence Son, then just ignore it."

The other old man stroked his beard and smiled, still very confident.

"Within Xuzhou, it is necessary to check and balance each other. No matter how famous he is, Xi Yu wants to control the three clans as soon as he comes, which is a bit arrogant."

"It's just that it's a pity that Liu Bei took away Sun Qian and Mi Zhu because the common people are a party. These two are the real wealthy party," Chen Deng sighed.

"Everyone, I'm here to tell everyone," Chen Gui also stood up at this moment. The person with the highest status, that is, the Guangling official, has now gathered in the most critical barrier, Xiapi.

In order to be able to defend this situation with [-] soldiers and horses.

"Listen to me, Xuzhou has not been ruled by anyone for many years, but have you ever seen Danyang soldiers surrender to others?"

At this age, Chen Gui's hair is already gray and his complexion is old, but the light in his eyes is still quite hale and hearty. He continued to hit the ground with his crutches, and said with his hands behind his back: "In the early years when Cao Cao's army fought against Duke Tao, There will be enmity, so even if Cao Ren implements a benevolent government, it seems that the soldiers of Danyang are not willing to surrender sincerely."

"However, now that it belongs to Xi Yu, it seems that Cao Bao has no complaints."

Chen Gui snorted coldly and said, "Of course we can't do this. We can't let those poor kids get on top of us. If so, it seems that many years of business will be ruined."

"So, all the nobles in the village, and I, the celebrities of Xuzhou, why don't you go and resign together, making it difficult for the opera masters to continue, and have to rely on us. Now it is Yuan Shu's puppet emperor who is tying the Han Dynasty, and nothing can be changed. At that time, Master Xi will definitely not do anything to us."

When the old man said this, many people nodded frequently.

There are more than 20 officials here, plus their relatives and friends, and celebrities who have not arrived, at least fifty or sixty. The local officials managed more than twenty counties in Xuzhou from Xiapi to Xiaopei.

If all resigned, the whole Xuzhou would be paralyzed.

This is to show his determination and let Xi Yu know their importance. In this way, he will accept it as soon as he sees it. As long as Xi Yu persuades him a little, he will immediately say something nice!
Chen Deng and his son had already planned this matter. Xi Yu is a celebrity, a benevolent and wise person, who knows people well, treats others easy-going, and comes from a poor family.

No, in fact, saying that the poor family is flattering, leaving aside the identity of the uncle, Xi Yu and that Xi Zhicai are even just a person from the mountains.

Take a step back from each other, turn a blind eye in the future, Xuzhou maintains peace, then it is not a bad idea to get the support of the gentry, and Xi Yu can have the most respected status in Xuzhou just like Tao Qian.

Smart people will never refuse.

……

So in the afternoon, after dinner, Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son came to the government office with a dozen or so officials of high status.

Inside the government office, Xi Yu's family members and retainers have already arrived. The family members are in the inner courtyard, and there are 38 courtyards to choose from. It is quite safe in the boudoir.

There are 32 rooms in the outer courtyard, where the guards and counselors lived, separated from the inside and outside. The guards were commanded by Dian Wei, and Jia Xu was the chief counselor of the government office.

This is an external identity.

Soon, Chen Gui immediately explained his intention after exchanging pleasantries.

"Report to my lord, now, we have informed you of the approximate harvest and production locations in Xuzhou, and therefore, I would like to ask your lord to agree to one thing."

"What?" Xi Yu was drinking tea with a smile, smiling at Chen Gui very warmly.

"We know that you, my lord, have the talent to know the world, the right time and place, astronomy and geography, farming and water conservancy, and the knowledge of people, so we know that your lord can definitely plan a strategy, so I want to ask you, my lord, to... Let us go back to our hometowns."

They want to resign.

When Xi Yu heard this, his eyes lit up, "Well, good."

Eh?
what?
Chen Deng and Chen Gui's hearts skipped a beat.

???

What does good mean? !

"No, my lord, what I mean is that the officials of our dozen or so counties are all going to resign."

A moved look appeared on Xi Yu's face, "Mr. Gao Jie, I admire Feng Yi. Don't worry, I will manage Xuzhou well so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Everyone, go back to your hometown. I will send someone to take over tomorrow."

"My lord! My lord, we mean, that is, there will be no officials in more than a dozen counties!"

Chen Gui's eyes widened, he panicked!
Their hearts tightened all of a sudden, their plan was very simple, as long as Xi Yu casually redeemed a sentence!Immediately borrow the donkey from the slope.

There will never be any hesitation, and there will be no arrogant pride because of the large number of gentry!After all, for so many years, the gentry have been maintaining their relationship with the state shepherd by making contact with each other and building a good relationship with each other.

So they will definitely respect the state shepherd, as long as they respect each other's interests and give some benefits.

On this point, Chen Gui and Chen Deng handled it very well. It can be said that Chen Deng handled it better than his father Chen Gui.

There will be absolutely no trouble at all, and it will not reach the point of collapse.

This time, it is absolutely impossible to talk about collapse, it is just to beat the adults a little bit.

It's okay to be tacit to each other.

This drama master, don't you understand?

Impossible, with his talent and wisdom, how could he not understand this?
"How come there are no officials!?"

Xi Yu laughed immediately, "There are many officials here, and I can manage them with just these soldiers! They are trained by me, and they are far superior to their peers in terms of martial arts and martial arts. There is no way to give a reward."

"Thank you so much, adults. Such a noble person should be commended," Xi Yu cupped his fists, "I will give you a verbal commendation according to the ability of the state shepherd."

Orally, you...

"No thanks, no thanks."

Xi Yu hurriedly made a gesture of invitation, he was really surprised, and was thinking about how to deal with the last scholar party.

As a result, they came directly to the door, wishing that the whole army would be wiped out in this government office.

Dian Wei almost couldn't laugh out loud. After sending these people out of the government office, he was really happy when he came back.

In front of Xi Yu, he asked: "Our gang are all mud-legged, with no background and connections. Sir, do you really want to send them to various cities and counties as officials?"

"Of course it's impossible. What are you thinking..." Xi Yu rolled his eyes at him, then turned to Guo Jia, "What do you think of Feng Xiao?"

Guo Jia chuckled lightly and said, "This matter is quite simple. One is a business route. Please contact the grain merchants, horse merchants, and goods merchants to open a business route in Yanzhou, so that you can get money."

"The second is farming. Using Xuchang as the criterion, distribute farm tools and reclaim wasteland, and then wait for the arrival of spring plowing, then you can cultivate and solve the problem of military grain storage."

"The third is the merit-seeking order. Now that I am issuing another merit-seeking order, with the name of the state pastor, it should be able to attract many famous people to vote."

"Seeking a virtuous decree is the best way, and now that the scholar class has resigned and returned to their hometown, with your reputation, maybe you can try it."

Xi Yu nodded and said, "It makes sense. It's not too late for this matter. The sooner the better, the post will be announced."

"Yes."

……

midnight.

In the middle of the night, almost when everyone was about to fall asleep.

Generally speaking, because entertainment facilities are very scarce, if the children of the noble family do not sleep late at night, they will choose to read and study.

But at this time, in Chen Deng's mansion, the father and son could not sleep.

I don't want to read either.

They squatted on the steps in front of the house, unable to figure this out.

After a long time.

Chen Gui sighed deeply, "How could this happen?"

Chen Deng pouted.

Now not only did his father lose his official position, but he also became a commoner.

At the end of the afternoon, Dian Wei also informed the citizens of Xiapi, praised Chen Deng and others for their integrity, and accumulated a lot of fame for them.

But what is this fame for? !
I have already resigned from office, how can I re-enter office! ?If he went to become an official again with a shy face, he might be ridiculed crazily.

This is so special, it's just...

"Oh, how could this be?!"

Chen Gui asked again.

It made Chen Deng go crazy.

What the hell, I have a great future!
"Father!! Don't think about these crooked ways!"

Chen Deng buried his head and said, his face was full of bitterness, wishing to slap himself twice, why should I resign with you? !

Why am I going to resign! !I am in charge of the farming affairs in Xuzhou, and I am from the same family as Mr. Xi, and now all the officials are lost, the gentry is a fart gentry!

This is obviously to support the poor.

Chen Gui was also stunned, "I didn't expect that! I didn't expect Mr. Xi to be so straightforward! As soon as I said it, he agreed quickly!"

"Yuanlong, you know that you are a father. This is not a matter of resignation at all, it's just a casual talk!"

"Casually..."

Chen Deng covered his chest, mother...

Destiny...

"What should I do now?"

Chen Deng felt that his whole body was not well, and his brain was buzzing. It would be a bit too embarrassing if he wanted to ask a drama master to do it for an official.

But if he just went to the wild and became a farmer from then on, sitting on the mountain and eating nothing, making no achievements, he could only become a commoner in the future, even if he relied on his family's money and current contacts to do business, it might not be of much use.

After all, today is a troubled time, and Chen Deng still has ambitions.

The relationship with Cao Cao is also quite close, and he has established a deep relationship with Cao Ren. Now that the wave is gone, who can be reconciled?

Chen Gui thought and thought, squatting a little more slumped, then heaved a sigh of relief, and sighed: "Alas! Now, we can only look at it, our gentry finally has some reputation in various parts of Xuzhou, my lord should not look at it." Your Excellency is so reckless!"

"Really?"

Chen Deng's heart skipped a beat.

During the day today, he saw the "Farewell List". To be honest, if he were Cao Cao, he would probably be very grateful and rushed over from Xuchang immediately.

Not for anything else, but for the sake of saving Mr. Xi, and at the same time, let the scholars and poor people in the world see how Cao Cao treats his counselors!

This is what the hero should do.

At this juncture, the lord will uphold justice for us? !
What a fart! ! !
It's obvious that everything he does is interlocking!

Bring your family to Xuzhou, then take charge of Xuzhou soldiers, and replace Danyang soldiers with Qingzhou soldiers!Now is the time of war, in an emergency, no one dares to say anything!
Then, with his own reputation, he won the support of the common people faction.

Then use means to empty the gentry!
We didn't collapse so quickly! !As a result, you foolishly ran up and said you would resign!It's a mother-in-law's collective resignation!

Now it's all gone!
wave!
Go on!
The more Chen Deng thought about it, the angrier he became, and he wished he could swallow his father in one gulp.

"Yuanlong! This can't be the case. No matter how difficult the situation is, we must maintain peace of mind and not panic."

Seeing his son depressed, Chen Gui couldn't help admonishing him, and now is the time to unite together.

Chen Deng sighed deeply, "I can't be happy, I will continue to face the verbal criticism from the nobles in the village tomorrow, it's just... oh..."

It's not that the two of them don't want to sleep, but half an hour ago, they just finished being sprayed. These Confucian scholars and literati don't speak dirty words when they spray people, and they can't reply.

The thought of being sprayed again tomorrow gave Chen Deng a headache.

……

Xi Yu's soldiers and horses were stationed by the river outside Xiapi City. Relying on the river and plains, they built a horse farm that could raise more than [-] horses.

In addition, the established grain station has planned the main road route, transporting grain all the way from Xuchang to Xuzhou, connecting Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

The craftsmen established their own craftsmen's academy, and pulled up a team of strong men from Xuzhou. The common people and rich merchants had a lot of money, and they didn't need the support of the gentry at all, let alone their fame.

At the beginning, Xi Yu offered advice to Cao Cao, implemented benevolent policies in Xuzhou, and during the winter disaster, Xi Yu personally led a team to rescue [-] refugees, all of which are now in Yanzhou.

The superimposition of such achievements and fame made Xi Yu a hot figure, and with a wave of arms, the people gathered.

On this day, two unexpected people also came to Xiapi.

Xu Jing and Xu Shao.

These two brothers were the ones who criticized Yang Xiu in the finale, and they couldn't stay in Xuchang anymore. Although Xi Yu told them to say that, they could still be used to suppress them.

So after the news of Yang Xiu's rebellion spread, the two discussed it and planned to follow Xi Yu.

After all, these two brothers have already followed Xi Yu.

And following Xi Yu, who was already Xuzhou Mu, seemed pretty good too.

The two arrived at the barracks and came to see Xi Yu. At this time, Xi Yu was still working on improving the new Yuan Rong crossbow.

This crossbow has been transformed into an exquisite ten-shot short-range lethal weapon, which can penetrate iron armor, but if it is made of heavy iron, silver, or relatively hard metal, it will be difficult to break through.

When the armor-piercing arrows are developed, the combat effectiveness of the supply battalion will be greatly improved again.

Among other things, the strength of Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses may be able to scare the princes all over the world.

Xi Yu was also very happy to hear that they were here, knowing that the reputation of the two of them will play a big role in recruiting talents for Xuzhou as a whole.

It may be able to solve the urgent needs of today, and it can also operate in some unique ways, allowing these two people to help earn a sum of money.

In the big tent, Xi Yuan sat on the main seat, with a copy in front of him, Xu Jing and Xu Shao sat on the right side, Xi Yu's own counselor was on the left side, and Guo Jia was naturally the first.

According to Guo Jia's temperament, Xi Yu thought he would not be involved here, but what he didn't expect was that since he came to Xuzhou, Guo Jia seemed to be interested in these things suddenly.

What made Xi Yu amused was that Jia Xu actually ran to sit at the end of the table and gave up the middle seats to Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong.

But Dian Wei and Cao Bao, guarding the camp at the front line, did not come over. Now that Xi Yu has enough strong generals, he lacks a handsome talent.

"You two came here, but I didn't expect it."

"Although the end of the new year is approaching, I still plan to ask the two of you to start the monthly review again."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Xu Jing and Xu Shao were very happy when they heard it. It seems that the Lord really needs my two brothers!
"My lord, that's how we came. Back then, we brothers settled down in Xuchang just to follow your lord. Now that your lord has arrived in Xuzhou, we naturally come too."

"It's just that I don't know where Mr. Cao is..."
