Three Kingdoms: Sir, you love learning too much!

Chapter 110 Yes, yes, this wine is unparalleled in the world!

On the second day, Chen Deng came early to meet Cao Ang. At that time, Cao Ang just woke up from the hangover, but he slept peacefully in this courtyard.

As soon as he sat down in the hall, Chen Deng explained his intention of coming, and asked to go to Guangling to suppress the bandits, govern the counties in southern Xuzhou, order them to restore agricultural production, and win the hearts of the local people.

After saying this, Cao Ang immediately understood that he might have heard some rumors, so he smiled frankly and said, "Yuanlong doesn't have to be like this. Someone recommended you to guard the south of Xuzhou at that time, but Uncle Yuncheng was still in Xuzhou. He It can be arranged for General Ban to go, and conquering the south is something that must be done, so don't worry about it because of rumors."

He thought that Chen Deng knew about the rumors, and he was afraid that he would be suspected and blamed in the future, and then secretly suppressed him, so he comforted him and told him not to take it to heart.

However, Chen Deng's performance was surprisingly resolute. After bowing down, he still said very sincerely: "I am a minister of the great man, and I am also among the scholars. Those who steal their names and celebrities, if they live here in a comfortable place, Even if you are uneasy, if you can use your talents in uneven places, you can relax and comfort."

"Therefore, celebrities don't take Antu as their defense, but use the brilliance of stardust to do their best for the sun and the moon."

"well……"

Hearing this, Cao Ang was also moved. He could be called a man of honor. He originally thought that the Chen family had done their best to Cao.

But I didn't expect that he would still be willing to do his duty again, and he really lived up to the title of a celebrity, which is worthy of respect.

"I edited a book, sent it to my father, and wrote another letter to Uncle Yuncheng, and then asked the emperor to be transferred. This matter should be spread in the territory, so that the common people can also be lucky. Wouldn't it be exciting to have such a prefect?" .”

"Thank you, my lord."

……

Five days later, Guo Yi and Cao Ang came to send Chen Deng off in person. Cao Ang acted as Chen Deng's prefect.

Taking Guangling is not only a matter of marching with swords and soldiers, but also has enough subtle policies to make the people stable.

The two had a lot of expectations for Chen Deng.

Waiting quietly for him to return from "victory" will truly have the human merit of benefiting the people.

Before leaving, Chen Deng and Guo Yi walked for a while and chatted about Chenliu's water conservancy, "I have found out the water conservancy in Chenliu's land, and we should cut off the Taishou River to make a pond, and then divert water to the territory to irrigate the farmland. Countless fertile fields will be obtained, which will enable the common people to live on in the future.”

"For this plan, I have already written a letter and prepared to send it to Xudu, but now that you are here, I will entrust this matter to you. It is necessary to cut off the water and not affect the Yellow River... Is that what the Yellow River flooded area means? ? You should know better than me."

The last time Guo Yi told him about the Yellow River Flooding District, Chen Deng went back and searched through the codes. There were also one or two records and hidden dangers about it, which proved that Guo Yi's worries were not unreasonable, so he was amazed.

Now that he entrusts this matter to him, he should feel a little more at ease.

"Okay, I see. When you come back, all the construction and renovation work will be done here, and the merits will be regarded as dear friends."

"Haha, it doesn't matter anymore." Chen Deng was so moved that he stared at Guo Yi for a few more times, then took a deep breath, and his heart became complicated again. For Guo Yi's words of persuasion, he would really shoulder thousands of lives, Going to Guangling to suppress the rebellion, if they can be subdued, the significance of coming back will be even greater.

Guo Yi bowed to Chen Deng and left.

……

Back in Chenliu's territory, Guo Yi and Cao Ang were in the hall and took out the topography volume. They knew a lot about Chen Liu before, and they also had a lot of attention left by Cheng Yu, so the progress was not slow.

After finding out the favors of officials and officials from all over the place, they issued a recruiting message, and at the same time posted Chen Yuanlong's move on the notice, even among the scholars, whitewashed the matter a little, and then spread it among them.

After waiting for a few days, the realm in the territory is enthusiastic.

What's more, what Guo Yi didn't expect was that Dian Wei's reputation in Ji Wu could still be used. Now many middle-aged and brave people in Ji Wu also knew Dian Wei back then.

He is ruthless and powerful, but he is loyal and loyal. It is difficult to be his friend in the market, and there are many people who want to make friends with him.

Now Dian Wei returned to his hometown to greet him, and he brought more than [-] warriors. Guo Yi ordered them all to enter the camp, and got three hundred horses from merchants. , opened for it, and made it clear that after the completion of Chenliu's Taishoubei, it will open trade with Xuzhou.

The things left behind can be transported to Xuzhou to earn money and food. At the same time, taxes will be reduced for three years to commend his achievements. People are grateful and spread widely.

So all the merchants came to support and contribute, not for bribery, but for the first to obtain this right.

Slowly, a system similar to military service tax exemption was formed, and no one would correct it, and everything went smoothly in the territory.

In less than one month, more than [-] soldiers have been recruited, and the soldiers are fully prepared, and they have to mine a large amount of minerals, solid wood and other materials, and store them in the government office.

Since Guo Yi and Cao Ang came, Chen Liu brought a lot of merchants and the money allocated by the court was several times that of the rest of the land, so all the manpower was enthusiastic.

They knew that this was the son of Sikong, the eldest son of the Cao family, who came here to govern, in order to build large-scale construction projects, build water conservancy projects, and make Chen Liu rich.

This was also Guo Yi's calculation at the time.

At that time, when Cao Ang first arrived, he thought that since he had just arrived in Chenliu, he should keep a low profile, but Guo Yi immediately refuted this point of view, so he should make a big publicity and act high-profile, inviting merchants and scholars from all over to visit.

The advantage of this is that it is very exciting.

But the disadvantage is that if the future political achievements are only smooth and mediocre, people may be criticized, and even comparing it with the previous and previous ones will not be good for Cao Ang's reputation.

However, Guo Yi said at the time, "According to his expectations, he should try his best, and he will eventually gain something." Cao Ang heard this sentence, so he used it to solicit money.

As a result, he promoted and appointed a group of poor and white people who came here attracted by the reputation. Those with a little talent who sought to enter the door of officialdom were mostly merchants' families, and they exchanged their wealth for a little family change.

Then with the accumulated wealth in hand, they should be able to make a big move to buy a house, but Cao Ang found that after the first month, the public sentiment has gradually calmed down.

Even the progress of recruiting soldiers has gradually slowed down. If this continues, the hearts of the people may cool down and they will no longer be enthusiastic.

Then this year's achievements will come to an end, especially when the autumn harvest is approaching, there may be many military disasters, and among the common people, there may be people who are worried about this.

So I gradually became anxious. If there is no more meritorious service, it will really become a money grabber. On the other hand, Guo Yi has been diligent in investigating mountains and rivers, and occasionally went to the fields and fellow villagers. deep chat.

Most of the time, when they wake up in the morning, Guo Yi will wear a bamboo hat, and then he and Dian Wei will put on straw sandals and go to the mountains to check the terrain.

Sometimes I went to the fields to plant the land in person, and then asked the number of cattle in each village, and then got a lot of records and kept them in the government office.

For a while, many merchants living in Chenliu said that Guo Yi had a false name but was actually incompetent. It was not as good as when Chen Deng was there. The three strategies at sunrise can benefit the people, and there is no conflict with each other.

At this moment, in a spacious village in the outskirts, there are merchants living here, and there are more than ten acres of land outside the village, which are being cultivated by people.

At this time, one thin and one fat were talking over wine.

This is a member of the Mi family. The fat and steady-eyed man is named Mi Zhu. He is quite prestigious in the family, and he is well-educated. He knows who to invest in in troubled times, which can benefit the family. He was once appointed by Tao Gong.

Of course, it was for his money.

The younger brother Mi Fang is thin and short-bearded, and looks a bit wretched. Mi Fang is not too old this year, but most of them are timid and dare not act, narrow-minded and short-sighted.

The two chatted about this moment while eating wine, "I saw Guo Yi yesterday."

"The young man has gained a lot of fame, and I don't know if those achievements belong to him. Maybe someone repaid Xun Shuang's kindness and gave these achievements to his only disciple, or the Cao family wanted to recommend someone. , so the appointment, maybe so!"

Mi Fang said with a wonderful expression, wishing to show his disdain by clenching his hands. As for why he hated him so much, it was because he wanted to go to Tancheng to meet Guo Yi, but he only got a reply of "died at home".

He still thinks it was perfunctory, the brazen man in front of the door definitely wanted to say "sickness", but for some reason, he didn't seem to be in a good mood that day, it looked as if Guo Yi was tired of being visited, and then scolded him a meal.

He used this to vent his anger, scolding the visitors as well as visiting people from outside, so Mi Fang felt that she was frustrated, even those unknown people were welcomed into the mansion, so that they could talk to each other, but he didn't .

"Did you really see it? Did you go up and talk to him?"

Mi Zhu took a sip of the wine, put down the wine and asked calmly after toasting.

"That's not it."

"Then I don't have the right to say such things," Mi Zhu said in a deep voice, with a slight sense of blame, "In Xuzhou, the state shepherd from Mount Tai has now managed the state and county in an orderly manner with his arrogance and talent. Everyone is a righteous person, spreading the way of filial piety and righteousness, practicing Confucianism, with strict laws and regulations, such a person, even in those years, is still admirable."

"And he admires Guo Yi the most, and whenever he has the opportunity, he will invite him to ask questions. Although we are in Chenliu now, most of the government in Yanzhou is under Guo Yi's jurisdiction."

"Among Yanzhou, Xiahou Dun is currently the main one. He is good at fighting, but he is also good at governance. He has made great achievements in guarding the border and keeping the people safe. He is not comparable to ordinary clansmen. He also admires Guo Yi the most."

"There are so many celebrities who praise Guo Yi, is it just because he is a disciple of Xun Shuang? No, it is his own talent that makes people admire him, so if you want to make friends, you should abandon these ideas."

"Oh."

Mi Fang was scolded a few times, she didn't know what words to use to respond, she could only nod softly, and then drank silently, but just at this moment, footsteps came from outside the door, and a servant came to report that someone from outside the village came to pay a visit. The registration name is Guo Yi.

So he came in to report in a hurry, knowing that the man should not be neglected, otherwise the Zhuangzi might suffer disaster.

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang looked at each other, got up quickly to greet them, passed through the gate and went outside the village to see a young man, a strong man was outside, and there were more than a dozen strong men in strong clothes following in the distance. A person with tied hair and steady eyes, with strong fists and feet, and a solid body, is not a good friend.

These people are Guo Yi's guards, led by Dian Wei.

As soon as he came out, he saw Guo Yi smiling and clasping his hands outside, and said kindly: "My fellow, we don't mean any harm. Let me wait in and ask for a drink. I'm tired after walking all day."

"General Zhonglang was joking. I'm going to set up a village here and live here temporarily in Mizhu."

"Oh?!" Guo Yu smiled even wider, and changed his tune: "Then let's drink some wine, and kill another sheep, how about it?"

"Yes, yes."

The corner of Mi Zhu's mouth twitched suddenly. He didn't expect this gentleman with outstanding achievements to be so friendly, but after all, he is a senior official, so he should return the courtesy when he comes to eat.

Moreover, his reputation is great, and the gift will only be more serious. In the past, Mi Zhu would make friends with chivalrous exiles. Now that he meets such celebrities, he should make friends even more.

"Come in! Please!"

Mi Zhu hastily gave up his background and invited Guo Yi to enter the manor. The rest of the guards ate in the compound, while Guo Yi and Dian Wei went straight into the house.

As soon as he came in, Dian Wei took a quick glance and felt relieved. There were about 30 people here, but they were all servants, and most of them were not brave at first glance, and they were not considered dangerous.

So in the hall, Guo Yi gave up the main seat to the master, sat down in the guest seat, and Dian Wei was next to him, and then he felt a resentful look and looked at him.

Guo Yi looked back curiously, only to see a short man with a mustache looking at him with obscene eyes. When the eyes met, he immediately shrank his neck and turned to laughing.

"This is my younger brother, Mi Fang."

"Well, hello." Guo Yi nodded. Mi Fang didn't know what to say, so she could only sit down nervously across from him. It was a pity that he didn't see Guo Yi at first, but now that he suddenly saw him, he didn't know what to say. know what to say.

Mi Zhu ordered his servants to kill chickens, pigs, and sheep to entertain them, and took out ten altars of fine wine, and immediately introduced to Guo Yi: "This wine is called Peach Blossom Brew, and I bought it."

"I don't know who brewed it. It is said that it was handed down by the unknown person in the Warring States period. Only in recent years has someone been able to brew it. It has been spread in the market. If it was not available in the past, it is used to entertain distinguished guests today. Zhonglang will have heard of it. This wine?"

Guo Yi and Dian Wei looked at each other, then nodded at the same time, and said with a straight face, "I've heard of it."

Guo Yi continued: "I haven't been able to buy them all the time, and there are too few in the market. I bought them for others and kept them. I didn't expect that there are ten altars here."

"Oh?!"

Mi Zhu's eyes were suddenly surprised, and he was very satisfied when he heard Guo Yi's words, "Is this wine so popular?"

"Well," Guo Yi nodded deeply, with anticipation in his eyes, "I also heard from others that there are only 69 altars of this wine out of the cellar, which is extremely precious. The wonderful method removes the green ants, so it is pure and fragrant."

"So that's how it is..." Mi Zhu was even more impressed, and hurriedly beckoned someone to bring up the wine jar, while Dian Wei next to him kept a secret without saying a word, and only showed bitterness in his eyes.

This wine is good to drink, but I drink it every day, and I'm getting tired of it... Tsk, it's so annoying.

……

After drinking for three rounds, Guo Yi's face was slightly drunk, and he chatted with Mi Zhu a lot. They talked about Xuzhou's politics at that time, and many policies inherited by Tao Gongzu.

He also mentioned that many people heard the rumors, and it turned out that after Tao Qian's death, the Mi Zhu brothers, who knew Lv Bu's character and plundered a lot of people and merchants, did not dare to keep them at home, so they resigned and took refuge.

There were too many such things at that time, and the people who left were all people who were disappointed in Lu Bu, so they left Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, Lu Bu didn't care much at all, so he didn't chase after them.

Of course, he was sober at the time and had no time for such things.

After chatting, Mi Zhu asked about Guo Yi's coming to the village.

Guo Yi laughed and said: "It's because of the water conservancy. To tell you the truth, when Chen Yuanlong left, he told me that he only needs to cut off the Taishou River to make a pond, and then water can be diverted to irrigate the farmland. This method is very good."

"Oh? Why didn't you do it?" Mi Zhu didn't understand. Since you already had a plan, you just need to follow it. Why didn't you start construction after January?
Such things, with today's financial and human resources, can't they be accomplished in a few days? !
