The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 211 Xuzhou's new atmosphere, the gentry feel a crisis
Seeing that Liu Bei was so angry, Mi Zhu immediately stepped forward to persuade him, "Uncle Liu Huang, don't be angry anymore, my younger brother Mi Fang is only a common man, and his talent is not enough to accomplish anything."

"Furthermore, my younger sister and servants are all staying in Xuzhou city, you don't have to worry about my brother returning home."

Liu Bei was still furious, and shouted at his third brother Zhang Fei, "Although that's the case, those who don't know the truth about Mi Fang's running home will definitely say that I, Liu Bei, are a heartless person!"

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei, "Third brother, I have always warned you that Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and Sun Qian have treated me well, Liu Bei, and they must treat me well. You say you..."

At this moment, Liu Bei felt disappointed, and said to Zhang Fei angrily, "In a month, you won't have to drink!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, "Brother, your... punishment is too heavy!"

Liu Bei wanted to punish him, even if he beat him, he would never say anything.However, how can he bear it if he is asked not to drink for a month.

Seeing this, Guan Yu knew that Liu Bei was really angry this time, so he hurried forward to persuade him, "Brother, it's true that the third younger brother can't be blamed for this matter. So proud of being favored..."

"I just want to take this opportunity to remind him, who would have thought that he would actually run away, if he knew this, at worst I would let him stay at home."

Seeing Guan Yu's words, Liu Bei was very helpless and sighed.

Now he lives in Xinye temporarily, with only [-] soldiers and horses in his hand. In order to strengthen his strength, he originally wanted to implement a benevolent government and live and live with the common people. Now that Mi Fang is away, if Mi Zhu is dissatisfied with him because of this matter, Liu Bei treated the corporal badly and didn't know how to thank his benefactor, which will definitely damage his prestige.

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and Liu Bei, the two seemed to have no thought of this level of benefit at all.

Pointing at Zhang Fei, Liu Bei said angrily, "This is a serious punishment? I guess you drank too much and dared to disrespect your benefactor and hurt him!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei knew he was wrong, so he bowed his head and dared not speak, but he hated Mi Fang very much in his heart.

If Mi Fang is really good at timing, she just appeared when he was drunk. Once drunk, Zhang Fei couldn't control his violent temper.

But Zhang Fei knew that the matter had come to an end, so he didn't dare to say any more, but he really hated: Mi Fang, the bastard, made me unable to drink for a month!

……

Xuzhou City, Xiapi.

That afternoon, Mi Fang took Zhuge Liang to count all the family property, there were more than 300 servants, and the rest of the material property was very rich, almost enough to support [-] troops.

These supplies are enough to feed the [-] people in Xiapi City for half a year.

Zhuge Liang really couldn't believe that Mi Fang was really willing to directly donate such a wealth of supplies to Mr. Xi?

In this matter, does Mi Fang really have no other insidious schemes?
Seeing that Zhuge Liang was worried, Mi Fang hurriedly said, "Mr. Kong Ming, is this money not enough?"

"If the money is not enough, I have some other properties. Moreover, Chen Deng, Chen Gui and his son donate money and food every year. If necessary, I will take back the donation."

"It's completely enough, but..." Zhuge Liang was very curious, and asked, "But, if you donate all the money, how can you start a family?"

"I've already thought about this matter. As long as your lord permits, I will recruit [-] servants into the army. When the time is right, I will send troops to slaughter the butchers in Zhuojun!"

Mi Fang said very angrily, after saying that, he felt the deep pain in his right cheek.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang suddenly understood, it turned out that Mi Fang was a very vengeful person, no wonder he was an "Old Zhuozhou Big Ear Poster".

After thinking about it, Zhuge Liang said with a light smile, "It turned out to be the case, I understand this matter."

After this incident, Zhuge Liang no longer had a good impression of Mi Fang, and even felt that Mi Fang was very small, and he was a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

If the adults are in trouble in the future, Mi Fang is afraid that she will turn against him in order to save her life?
At this time, Mi Fang said with a smile, "Then Mr. Lao Kongming is the one to do this matter, but I still have one thing I want to ask Mr...."

Zhuge Liang replied, "What's the matter?"

"Excuse me, sir, do you have any special preferences? If so, I would like to give you some."

Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled wryly, "I've only been here for a few months, so I don't know what my lord likes, but well, I've heard that... Your lord already has three wives and concubines, maybe your lord likes beautiful women."

Mi Fang was overjoyed immediately, "So... very good, I have a little sister in my family, she is as beautiful as a fairy, and she is the right age for marriage!"

Mi Fang looked forward to it, and looked at Zhuge Liang, "Mr. Kong Ming, can you please come forward and talk about matchmaking?"

Zhuge Liang was a little surprised, "Is there really a beautiful little girl in your family?"

Mi Fang is very self-confident, "Of course it is true. My younger sister, Mi Yun, is nineteen years old. She is well-educated, beautiful as a fairy, and has a cheerful personality. She must be loved by adults."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang patted his palm lightly with the feather fan in his hand. This feather fan was a gift from Xi Yu, and he loved it very much.

"If that's the case, your little sister is about to make a fortune..."

"I will accept this matter, and I will go back and report to the adults."

Zhuge Liang tightened the feather fan in his hand, took the ledger from Mi Fang's hand, and then ordered his servants to move part of the money to the government office first, and keep the rest at home.

Now, Mi Fang is the master of the Mi family.

Fortunately, the relationship between Liu Bei and Xi Yu has not reached the point of breaking up, otherwise, things would be very difficult.

At the moment, Liu Bei was afraid of Xi Yu, so he stayed away from Xuzhou and hid in Nanyang County without even claiming the merit of Shouchun.

……

That night, Zhuge Liang brought the account book to meet Xi Yu.

After reading the account books and listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Xi Yu was very surprised, "It's serious, Mi Fang wants to give his little sister to me?"

Zhuge Liang nodded immediately, and even took the opportunity to praise Mi Fang's little sister.

"You spoke very well of his little sister, have you seen this woman before?"

Zhuge Liang replied, "I've never seen it before."

"I haven't seen it before, how dare you praise it like that?" Xi Yu laughed.

"Mi Fang told me, I guess he would not dare to lie to me." Zhuge Liang replied with a smile.

There was a strange look on Xi Yu's face

Mi Fang's younger sister is not the future Mrs. Mi, but at this time, Mi Yun has not yet left the cabinet, so this is a beautiful thing...

But Xi Yu was very concerned, "It's just that I have three wives and concubines now, if I accept Mi Fang's kindness, this matter...isn't very appropriate?"

"My lord, since ancient times beauties have been matched with heroes, and your lord is the hero of today's world, so why not have more wives and concubines?"

"Hehe, there is some truth in this statement, we will discuss this matter later..."

……

After Zhuge Liang left, Xi Yu also left the government office.

It was already winter, and he wanted to go to a warm place, so he came to Tiangongyuan.

After a long time, Xi Yu finally mustered up the courage to go in. The person who received him was naturally Mrs. Zou.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that Xi Yu came out. Xi Yu was full of energy and his eyes were very bright. Thinking of Cao Cao in the prime minister's mansion, he smiled secretly in his heart, "It's really refreshing! Today I can feel the beauty of the prime minister's love... ..."

In the winter of this year, there was a three-day banquet in Xuzhou City, which was extremely lively. Xi Yu married Mi Yun, the youngest daughter of the Mi family, and the people respectfully called Mi Furen.

Mrs. Mi is the daughter of the Mi family, a family of merchants in Xuzhou. Xi Yu married Mrs. Mi, which made the people of Xuzhou get closer to him. Mrs. Mi soon became a man of the city in Xuzhou.

In this way, Xuzhou City, which Xi Yu is in charge of, will be united and stable.

At the same time, the Academy of Sciences built in the inner city of Xiapi was successfully completed, covering a total area of ​​nearly 12 square meters, like a huge military camp.

Inside the Academy of Sciences, new gravel roads, hot springs, and blacksmith furnaces were built. At the same time, there were Design Institutes, Tiangong Institutes, Internal Schools, Military Schools, Agricultural Schools, Confucian Schools, and Medical Schools...

It is as large as nearly [-] courtyards, and it covers almost all areas of people's livelihood and military affairs.

Soon, the Academy of Sciences caused a huge sensation in Xiapi City!
This magnificent building like a palace has become something that everyone talks about after dinner.

Moreover, this Academy of Sciences is affiliated to the government office run by Xi Yu, and soon launched many benevolent policies.

When the Government Office formulates future development strategies, it will select some people from the common people as representatives to ask them to put forward corresponding needs and insights. After the spring, officials will deliberate and evaluate these needs and insights, and then formulate corresponding policies.

Such an act of enlightenment and benefit to the people made the humble scholars who had just obtained official positions in Xuzhou very excited, and the fire of hope was ignited in each of them, and the common people were more willing to work in the fields.

As a result, Xuzhou has reclaimed more than twice as much wasteland as compared to last year, and the horse farm and animal husbandry have also been vigorously developed.

Newly appointed officials from all over the country, with the strong support of the people, started a vigorous spring plowing!
From top to bottom, there is enthusiasm!
At this time, Zhuge Liang had already paid homage to the Diannong official, and was responsible for compiling all the Diannong strategies in Xiapi City. Every day before dawn, Zhuge Liang took the little book boy Zhuge Yi to the field.

Zhuge Liang was very grateful to Xi Yu and gave him a satisfactory job. He was confident that with his ingenuity, he would be able to manage all the farmland in Xuzhou with ease.

He Zhuge Liang has this ability, and he must seize this opportunity to start the road of internal affairs.

At this time, Guo Jia, although he was the closest person around Xi Yu, was still Xi Yu's meritorious service.

At this time, Xi Yu had already moved all the official affairs to the government office in the Academy of Sciences. In the huge hall, there were twenty desks for twenty literati to handle official affairs.

These people are all from the investigation of Xiaolian, and they are all people of good morals and reputations. Xi Yu arranged to work in the government office and was responsible for the compilation of official affairs. Guo Jia was in charge of these people and reported all reported events and strategies After summarizing the matter, hand it over to Guo Jia, and after Guo Jia handles it, hand it over to Xi Yu for signature.

The division of labor is clear, each perform their duties, and the efficiency is very high.

As for the military affairs, Xi Yu was in charge of it himself, especially the old deployment of the supply battalion. All the Qingzhou soldiers had to do physical exercises every day.

The entire Xuzhou city is well managed and the situation is very good.

This is the first time in the history of Xuzhou City, after the beginning of spring, the farmers are in such a state of enthusiasm, and they have no doubts about Xi Yu's farming strategy.

Who dares to say that Xi Yu is just deceiving the people to cultivate land, and the tax will definitely increase in the future, and all the farmers and people will fight him desperately!

Since then, Chen Deng, Chen Chengui and his son have been very uncomfortable.

Chen Gui was almost besieged.

He thought that he could still be respected by poor scholars like before, and he thought that ordinary people would be afraid of them.

However, these have all changed, and now the prestige and status of the gentry are slowly disappearing in Xuzhou city.

Seeing this, as the start of school was approaching, Chen Deng and his son came directly to wait for Xi Yu to "get off work".

Such strange words came from the Design Institute.

In today's design institute, there are more than a thousand people, from craftsmen, carpenters, to craftsmen, all of whom receive enviable treatment.

Some people even heard that there is a very strange pipe in this design institute, which can leave rushing clear water, and the water is very convenient. People of the gentry have never seen it before, and they are very envious, and even more jealous.

Chen Deng and his son are among them.

One afternoon passed, until the sun went down, and Chen Deng and his son waited until Xi Yu came out from "off work". Dian Wei and Zhao Yun followed behind him, and Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang accompanied him.

Seeing this, Chen Deng immediately walked towards Xi Yu.

"I've seen Mr. Drama."

Seeing Chen Deng, Xi Yu was very surprised, "Yuanlong, why are you here? You don't need to farm today?"

"Ah, this..."

Chen Deng was very surprised: Could it be that I, Chen Deng, am now a farmer in the eyes of your master Xi?

Chen Deng was a little restrained, and replied, "My lord, I thought about the current situation in Xuzhou City, and wanted to do my best to share your worries."

"Share my worries?" Xi Yu asked suspiciously, "I'm very comfortable, why worry?"

"This……"

Chen Deng felt bitter.

Now even Mi Fang, who has just returned to Xuzhou, has become a county magistrate, with three or four thousand soldiers in his hand, and Chen Deng...

"My lord, since my lord has no worries, then I..."

Seeing Chen Deng like this, Xi Yu smiled and said, "Oh, regardless of worry, is it pleasure?"

Good Chen Deng, you were very proud before, but now, I just suppressed the gentry class a little bit, and you want to share the success?

"No, my lord, we still have some prestige in the gentry class. We want to use this to recruit celebrities for your lord and run a school in your name. This will benefit future generations. It is definitely a good thing for your lord!"

After saying that, Chen Deng himself blushed deeply, with complicated expressions on his face.

As soon as Chen Deng said these words, Xi Yu thought to himself: Now I want to do things for me. Back then, because of you, Chen Deng, a group of officials wanted to resign and return to their hometown almost at the same time.

He Xiyu has always respected others, if you want to resign, I agree.

Do you really think that without you officials, you say you are short of money to live?Unable to recruit talent and network?
However, now only one month's evaluation is enough for talents from all walks of life to gather in Xuzhou.

As long as he is supported by a common man, wealthy businessman and wealthy businessman, Xi Yu can get a lot of money. As for the collection of books of the noble family, it is not difficult.

Today, among Xi Yu's wives and concubines, there is the daughter of "everyone" Cai Yong, who has more than [-] volumes of books in her family!

No matter which aspect, if Chen Deng wanted to take the initiative to show his favor, Xi Yu would have the capital to ignore him.

Xi Yu smiled lightly, "Tomorrow is indeed the start of school, and the school is next to the Academy of Sciences."

"However, what you just said reminded me that after the school starts, as long as there are people with real talents and practical learning in the city, they are expected to become teachers. You can also tell the Confucian scholars of the gentry class about this, and they can also come to try, but they must You have to be real."

Xi Yu reminded with a smile, "This will also be your last chance to keep the status of the gentry. If you fail to grasp it, there will be no place for them in the Xuzhou gentry circle from now on."

Xi Yu said a few words, although there was no threat, but after Chen Deng heard it, his back felt cold.

Chen Dengwei nodded and watched Xi Yu and the others leave.

Xi Yu's words are true. These days, Chen Deng has clearly seen that as long as it is Xi Yu's benevolent government, even if it does not have the support of the old clans, it will be implemented smoothly, and it will be recognized by the people.

If things go on like this...

Soon there will be a new gentry. If the Chen family wants to stand in this class and become a prominent family, they have to make changes and move closer to Xi Yu.

Today, in Xuzhou, the Chen family is the largest gentry.

However, although the gentry have a sense of superiority, they also have their own weaknesses...

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there have been four classes of people: scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants.

Different classes do different things.

Scholars and people study, farmers work in agriculture, workers and people work, and merchants and people do business.

Of these four levels, Shimin is the first.

Scholars and people are familiar with Confucian classics and Confucianism. After accumulating a certain amount of talent and learning, they can become officials with filial piety and honesty. After that, they can also train their children to become officials.

If things go on like this, over and over again, a family will gradually become a noble family.

Therefore, no matter which vassal, once he gets the support of the gentry, it means he has a lot of support, and the gentry of the aristocratic family will also use the money hoarded from generation to generation to support the vassals.

Now at the end of the Han Dynasty, in order to suppress poor families and other scholars, the power of the gentry directly sealed up the collection of books within the clan and never spread it to the outside world. They wanted to make only the members of the clan official.

Moreover, this is a very large power group.

Today, in Xiapi City in Xuzhou, almost all of these people are guarding the front yard of Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong.

After the beginning of spring, the nights are still cold, but these people are still unwilling to leave.

Although reluctantly, they had no other choice.

But in this way, Chen Gui and Chen Deng couldn't bear the disturbance, they had to drive the uninvited guest out of the house.

Looking at the slightly burning flames in the house, this makes people feel a little warm.

After a long time, several young people couldn't resist the cold, suddenly sneezed and said, "Why don't we go..."

An old man was leaning on a cane and scolded, "I can't bear this kind of hardship! I have no backbone! I want to leave, but it's impossible!"

Among the crowd, there was a man named Yuan Huan, whose name was Yaoqing, with a gentle personality and good conduct. He was from Fule, Chenjun.

Yuan Huan followed Yuan Shu and came to Xuzhou after Yuan was destroyed.

However, he came to Xuzhou only to find a place to settle down, and he will no longer be an official.

Because he came from a relatively large family of the gentry, he was specially invited here by the gentry class this time, but he never thought that he would be exposed to the cold wind. At this moment, he couldn't bear it, and said with a wry smile, "Everyone, we are waiting for you!" It is not the actions of gentlemen to harass the Chen father and son like this, so it is better to go back separately."

"Master Xi recruits teachers to run the school, but as a teacher, first of all, he needs to be virtuous. If we continue to threaten Chen Deng and his son, it will really damage our reputation..."
