Three Kingdoms: Sir, you love learning too much!

Chapter 105 You have been resting for several months, how many things have you done? !

The imperial city, after rushing to work in January, expanded the vicinity of the original government office into the imperial palace, and the construction of the inner city was roughly the same as the outer city of Xu County back then.

Then the city wall can be built on a larger periphery, and the river can be included in the city.

It is estimated that Xu County will be expanded dozens of times and designated as the capital.

Being as close to Luoyang as possible, materials from the Luoyang Palace can be obtained, and stones can be used to pave roads in the mountains and forests on both banks.

This series of major construction projects requires a lot of budget, but Cao Cao is not worried. After the edict was issued, many scholars have donated money to show their loyalty.

The money eventually flowed to the Sikong Mansion to be used for construction expenses. Cao Cao decided to keep it selflessly, and used all of it to build palaces and mansions, making the city defenses near Xudu very solid.

However, when Yang Feng and Han Xian, who were stationed in Liang County, were stationed in the army, they could not keep their homeland safe and treat the people well. Most of them used the method of looting to rob the surrounding people of food.

At the same time, he also robbed a lot of money sent as tribute from Guanzhong to vent his anger.

Especially Han Xian, since he became a general, he has often disregarded the military law and prefers to plunder, because it is the fastest way to get money, and he does not need to rely on the policy of civil servants to slowly support the people.

At the same time, it can also spread the military prestige, so that the surrounding Xiaoxiao dare not move rashly.

Moreover, after they plundered three times, they found that Cao Cao did not take any action, nor did he issue an edict to stop him, so they gradually became more courageous.

As a result, during the fourth plunder, Liang County was attacked by Cao Cao, and the tiger and leopard cavalry set up an ambush on the way back to the army. When they returned to the city, they found that they had been occupied, so Han Xian and Yang Feng could only Abandoning the army and fleeing, he rushed to Yangzhou to join Yuan Shu.

When they left, the family didn't bring anything with them, only a dozen bandit soldiers could follow them, and the rest of the horses, soldiers, luggage, food and grass had all been lost in Liang County.

Among other things, there were more than [-] war horses alone, and hundreds of war horses used for grain and grass transportation, all of which fell into the hands of Cao Cao.

It wasn't until the two of them fled to a safe place and washed their faces in a small stream that Yang Fengcai suddenly noticed, and asked in a murmur, "Cao Cao didn't send troops three times before, and he was waiting for us to help him snatch it? !"

Han Xian's heart trembled, the corners of his mouth quivered suddenly, and he nodded dully, "It's possible... the tribute items are going to enter the palace, and there are also gifts from the princes outside the customs to the other officials, all of which are worth a lot of money."

"He waited for us to plunder, and then came to rob us. This would count as a war profit. It was an income from the army, and he could reward the whole army. By the way, he also robbed us."

"Ugh-"

Yang Feng turned his back to Han Xian, and almost cried out after hearing this sentence, but quickly covered his mouth, but tears still filled his eyes uncontrollably.

Damn Cao Mengde, you are really ruthless.

You lied to me again and again, and I still believe you, and now you lie to me even when you are fighting.

I'm so stupid, really, I just thought that Cao Cao would only march in the autumn harvest, but I didn't expect that he would also carry out sneak attacks in summer, attacking my Liang County at night without saying hello, and ambush me on both sides.

Knowing the terrain so well, it seems that there is a counselor who has a deep understanding of the location as a guide. I did not respond to such a quick surprise attack, so now I have lost everything and have no way to go.

"General, be optimistic." Han Xian patted Yang Feng's shoulder to show comfort.

Yang Feng flicked his shoulders directly, as if disgusted, "Stop talking!"

How optimistic I am! !Why didn't Lei kill Han Siam!

How dare you persuade me to be optimistic! ?I have tens of thousands of people, all of them disappeared overnight! !There are also tens of thousands of dendrobiums of grain, countless gold, silver and jade objects, as well as tribute treasures and cloth!
Why did you come to this place! !
"You and I will vote for Yuan Shu, tell this matter, clearly declare that Cao Cao is a traitor, and then coerce Emperor Han to go to Xudu in his hinterland. The Yuan family is a prominent family, and they will definitely come out to uphold justice!"

"it is good!"

Han Xian nodded heavily.

Mainly, he not only knew that Yuan Shu would definitely send troops, he also knew that Yuan Shu had collected too many bandit soldiers, among which there were quite a few bandits in Baibo, Heishan, and Yuzhou who had caused chaos back then.

With so many thieves, he is simply the leader of the thieves. If there is no food, he will rob the people, and if there is food, he can rob the people to replenish the food reserves for emergencies.

Such an enlightened master is simply a dream. If I go, I can stand out by virtue of my excellent and skillful ability to rob people!

We are not good at governing the people, but we are good at governing the people!
……

Except for Yang Feng and Han Xian, after the emperor's return to the east, Guanwai began to fight against each other, and forces that cannot be ignored were intertwined, which also gave birth to the rise of such a powerful Ma family in Xiliang.

Because Zhang Yang was pardoned by the emperor, he was still in Hanoi and did not move his military power, but he was still vacillating and precarious if he wanted to survive between the Yuan family and the Cao family.

Because of the lack of food in the army, Zhang Ji went to Nanyang County to plunder Rangcheng and was shot to death by Liu Ya. So his nephew Zhang Xiu took over the army and joined forces with Liu Biao to station troops in Nanyang Wancheng, which became the south of Cao's army. The threat is also Liu Biao's northern barrier to Jingxiang.

In this way, almost all the generals who made some achievements at the beginning were divided into one side, and they had their own conclusions about life and death.

At this time, the expansion of the imperial palace was done properly, and the main hall had been renovated and widened. Dozens of steps were built in front of the que, and it was made of fine stone materials and carefully carved by craftsmen.

Guo Yi walked on the spacious square, accompanied by Xun Yu, and had an audience with the emperor.

"Why, Your Majesty must see me? There must be fraud in this, and someone must be secretly harming me. Wen Ruo, you don't have to worry, just tell me."

When Guo Yi was walking, he kept chattering, which made Xun Yu tireless. Along the way, he suspected that someone was slandering him, so he asked him to go to the front of the car to talk.

Xun Yu hated that he couldn't close his ears when he heard it, but Guo Yi talked too much, so he could only turn his head and stare at it, "My lord said it in front of His Majesty."

Guo Yi was taken aback, "Then, that's not surprising, he always recommends me."

"No wonder, His Majesty insists on seeing me. It should be because he knows my achievements, admires me in his heart, and wants to ask me for advice. Then he can go..."

"It's just a pity that all the good times were wasted by His Majesty's meeting."

He can't come to visit me.

It would be great if Liu Xie came to visit. I will entertain him day and night and talk to him diligently, but I don't know if it is beneficial to speak to the emperor.

If there are, I can come here often in the future.

Xun Yu's expression was serious at this time, and he took a peek at Guo Yi from the corner of his eye, and said helplessly, "Meng Yu, what you said, why does it feel like seeing the emperor as if he has lost you?"

How many famous people in the world are proud to meet the emperor. It was even more difficult to meet him back then. Not only did he have a high reputation among the people, but he also had to be continuously recommended by someone in the court, and at the same time made countless achievements. , or with huge sums of money.

You have to see the previous side from a distance, some of them don't even see it, they just come to the palace for a cutscene, and now you tell me that seeing the emperor is a waste of time.

"Oh, you don't know what I've lost."

Guo Yi sighed deeply, but did not explain.

Not long after, they bypassed the main hall and walked to the side passage, and saw a wide arch. After walking further, the palaces on both sides were still under construction, and many strong men were working.

The stones transported from all over the place were piled up on the square, and even the floor was being paved. Guo Yi watched all over, and sighed, "These stones cost a lot."

"The construction of a palace is really a waste of money."

Xun Yu sighed, feeling a pity in his heart, if so much money and stones were used to build city defenses, how many more gates could be built around Xu County.

Built against the mountains, it can surround Xu County heavily.

Now it is first used to build the palace, and when the palace is completed, the next is the mansion where the minister lives, and these mansions will be expanded indefinitely to show the current prosperity of Xudu.

It also shows the power of the imperial city and shows the people where the emperor belongs.

"There are so many stone materials. Fortunately, it is convenient to get stones from the nearby mountains and forests. The materials from Luoyang can still be transported, which may be enough."

"Yes," Guo Yi also breathed a sigh of relief, "I bought two mountain lands before. Although these lands are used as hunting grounds, when the ore is almost mined, the stone materials can be sold for a lot of money. and get rich.”

"However, this kind of wealth is really hard work, and then it will be distributed to the people..."

Xun Yu: "..."

He has heard a lot about Guo Yi, including the purchase of a mansion, mountains, and fields. This kind of land boundary should have been forcibly expropriated, and there is no such thing as a mountain deed.

At that time, he used his private power to sign these contracts with the county magistrate Xu. The government office still belonged to him, but he cheated him of the mining rights.

Now they are secretly selling stones. Fortunately, there is no gold ore in the ore, otherwise Guo Yi is very likely to be criticized, and at the same time, he will be publicized by scholars and his reputation will be discredited.

Of course, he doesn't care about these.

It's also great.

To be able to have such a foresight, to buy land, mansions and mountains in Xu County in advance when no one knew about it, this kind of skill is not something ordinary people can have.

No wonder he is so poor.

"Meng Yu, why did you save the money to buy these mansions? I remember being very clean and honest?"

Before arriving at the hall, the two had more leisure time to chat about these matters.

Guo Yi said with a smile: "At the beginning, after the official affairs were settled, I only needed to follow the daily arrangement to ensure the spring plowing and autumn harvest. I arranged the personnel well and had my own officials to handle them. What else could I do? Exercising the power of supervision to ensure spring plowing and autumn harvest.”

"In this way, my time becomes more leisurely. It would be too wasteful to sleep peacefully at home or play around and make friends every day, so I formed a merchant horse among the slaves. Mainly follow the road of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and mainly sell fine wine."

"You, where does your good wine come from?" Xun Yu was stunned again. You, a Yanzhou Biejia and Diannong captain, still have the mind to sell wine?

"My lord's reward, I can confiscate it after I issue a prohibition on alcohol, and then I will share the money I earned with Dian Wei, and let him distribute it to his subordinates, and the rest is his own. There are still many people who have been taken advantage of these days, of course. We also make our own wine, peach blossom wine, plum blossom wine, and monkey wine, which will be released in the cellar this winter, and we will give Wen Ruo two altars at that time."

"Us?" Xun Yu didn't expect that there is us here, it seems that you are already a rich man, and you are no different from those wealthy merchants.

"Yes, most of the singers in Miaoguan have signed slave status and belonged to my mansion. Some are serving my wife, some are learning how to make wine, and some are making gouache, lipstick, etc., and they will be produced in due time , want to buy some for your wife?" Guo Yi blinked and smiled.

"Next time, next time, next time."

Xun Yu waved his hand in embarrassment, expressing his refusal, but his heart was full of surprise. What did you do at home during the few months of rest?
Why can so many home buyers, but also get a break.

It's really...it's...

Forget it, I don’t know how to describe it.

Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally walked to the back garden. After entering the gate guarded by the guards, he saw a young man in a black gold-rimmed robe feeding the fish by the pond.

She didn't wear a crown on her head, and beside her was a woman of the same age, wearing a long orange dress, her hair was coiled on top of her head, she was wearing golden hairpins, and she was as gentle as water, accompanying them together.

After Xun Yu asked someone outside to report, the concubine turned her head to take a look, then bowed and left, only Liu Xie was left by the pool in the garden.

When Guo Yi was led by Xun Yu to the front, he just bowed and did not prostrate, but Liu Xie was obviously used to it, so he just raised his hand to let Guo Yi stand up and looked him up and down.

He originally thought that a person like Guo Yi, who is well versed in the way of farming, should have a more ordinary appearance, but he didn't expect to have handsome features and quite a majestic appearance.

Coupled with his tall stature, he actually has the temperament of a famous general, which is very good, with a heroic appearance and a proud spring breeze, which can exactly describe Guo Yi's current appearance.

"Your Majesty, Guo Yi, Guo Mengyu pays his respects to Your Majesty."

Guo Yi didn't know what to call himself, so he used a very humble title, which made Liu Xie stunned first, and then smiled and said: "Guo Qing's family doesn't have to be like this, you can just call yourself a minister."

"The achievements you have made for the great man are beyond the reach of others. I already know that you have improved farm tools and established military settlements to make the territory peaceful. This year, before the rainy season comes, we will step up preparations for water conservancy and prevent floods. Sooner or later, I will be a great man. Famous ministers too."

"Don't dare, it's just that I can't afford to eat at that time, and it's just making meritorious deeds. I didn't think about using this merit to cling to anything."

"Haha," Liu Xie felt that these words were true, because the young people he had met should now speak aggressive words, express their grand plans by the way, and then record that the officials would write down what they said in this meeting. Enter some history books, or pass it on, or keep it in the future, and then dig it out after the person becomes famous.

But Guo Yi just said something very honestly, for the sake of eating.

These days, who doesn't want to eat.

"Aiqing, you don't have to be so far away from me. If you are Xun Ciming's disciple, then you are my classmate. Mr. Ciming was once the grand tutor and taught me Confucian classics for more than three months."

"Oh..." Guo Yi's heart suddenly moved, and a strange feeling suddenly came to his heart.

Shuangzi and I... It's a year-end friendship. If you insist on saying that, then wouldn't it be... It's not too much to call me uncle emperor, right? !
Guo Yi was slandering and thinking, of course, this must not be known by others, otherwise he would be a felony, but invisibly, Guo Yi's mood was indeed a lot easier.

"Aiqing, take a seat in the garden, I have something to ask."

"Don't dare," Guo Yi rolled his eyes, looked at Youran, followed and went together, and at the same time turned his head to Xun Yu and said, "Ah Yu, let's go together."

Xun Yu: "???"

what do you call me !It's starting again, right?
