Three Kingdoms: The blind box draws Da Qiao at the beginning

Chapter 2 Cao Cao and Taishan Zang Ba

Seeing what the man said, Lu Yi could only dust himself off, stood up, and walked towards Fang's house.

The Fang family, a wealthy family in Shu County, owns a large field outside Shu County.

He employs at least hundreds of people.

He also raised more than 300 servants.

He is said to be a servant, but in fact, in this era, he is just a thug, Bubu.

Even the county magistrate of Shu County had to show respect to the head of the Fang family.

In addition to dealing with the Shu County government, the head of the Fang family is said to have also dealt with many bandits.

The bandits burned, killed, looted and kidnapped people everywhere.

From the elderly to women and children.

As for the elderly and children, most of them are actually bought to work as coolies!
Women are better off.

Most of the women caught were sold to unmarried men among ordinary people.

This era has been extremely chaotic, and the population has been greatly reduced.

In order to increase the population, the imperial court ordered various states and counties to have children.

At this time, it is no longer a question of whether a man and a woman want to get married or not.

When you reach a certain age, if a man doesn't marry or a woman doesn't marry, the court will make you pay a heavy price!
Half a month ago, when Lu Yi first arrived in Shu County, Lujiang, he encountered a "blind date" organized by the imperial court.

However, because Lu Yi had just arrived, he avoided it.

This time, there was finally no escape.

The imperial court spared no effort for the sake of fertility and population, and no one could escape.

Lu Yi rushed to Fang's house.

The Fang family owns a large mansion in Shu County, which is almost equivalent to the combined area of ​​hundreds of ordinary people's houses.

On the fourth side of the Fang family's mansion, a group of five servants from the Fang family were constantly patrolling to prevent people from sneaking in and doing evil.

Five days ago, a young man sneaked into the Fang family, was caught, and was tied to a tree by the head of the Fang family and whipped to death!

His parents were also implicated and were forced by the Fang family to work as laborers for the Fang family for ten years to pay off their debts!
Horrible!

Lu Yi looked at the door of the Fang family mansion for a while and sighed.

In this troubled world, do you still want to be a counselor?Fight for world hegemony?
Not to mention contacting those heroes.

Even a small local family might be able to make you "become a good man again in 18 years"!
Lu Yi walked into the Fang family mansion.

In the garden, many people from Shu County have gathered.

These people stood together.

In front of them, there were two servants of the Fang family holding hemp ropes to stop them.

In front of the hemp rope, more than 30 women were kneeling on the ground.

Each of these women has a gray face, rough skin, and is not beautiful at all.

In terms of age, they range from over 40 to teenagers.

There are two of them who are tall and thick, and they look quite powerful.

Behind the more than 30 women sitting on their knees, there are more than a dozen sacks.

There seemed to be people inside.

This can be seen by the constant twisting of the sack and the hesitating sounds it makes.

Lu Yi looked at these women with a little sadness.

In troubled times, human life is worse than dogs.

Men are instruments of war.

Women are tools for reproduction and money for walking.

At this moment, a man with a fat head came over.

Behind the hemp rope, all the men licked their faces to say hello.

"Butler, where did you buy these women?"

"Why do you feel it's not as good as the last batch?"

"Yeah, there aren't many fat people!"

It turns out that this fat-headed man is the housekeeper of the Fang family.The housekeeper laughed loudly, shook his head and said: "You bunch of idiots with sly eyebrows, how do you know the good and bad of women?"

"The previous batches of women were all brought down by bandits who robbed them from the mountains and got tired of playing with them."

"They're all inferior goods!"

"And this batch is all top quality!"

"Those bandits haven't even moved!"

"If I let you buy it, it's because your ancestors smoked it, and it's still not good!"

A man said dissatisfied: "How can you be sure whether they are tired of being played with?"

The housekeeper rolled his eyes, pointed at the women and said, "Do you know the origins of these women?"

Everyone shook their heads.

The housekeeper said: "These women all fled from Xuzhou, got separated, and were caught."

"And the ones who captured them this time are not ordinary bandits."

"It's Zang Ba, the former Cavalry Commander in Xuzhou. Do you know? Do you know what a Cavalry Commander is?"

Lu Yi looked at the housekeeper in shock.

Zang Ba!

He knows it!
Not because he had seen it, but because he was once a fan of the Three Kingdoms and knew a lot about the history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Zang Ba, a native of Taishan County, was a cavalry captain in Xuzhou during the Tao Qian period.

Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian, but he couldn't win, so he went to the mountains with Sun Guan and others to become bandits!

However, Zang Ba is very knowledgeable about current affairs.

Even though he was a bandit, he still had very good relations with the nobles in Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

Therefore, after Cao Cao later captured Qingzhou and Xuzhou, he could not control these two places, so he asked Zang Ba to manage them on his behalf.

In the history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Zang Ba was regarded as the local bully king in Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

Even when Cao Cao was alive, there was nothing he could do against him.

Now it seems that it is indeed true.

This Zang Ba is indeed very aware of current affairs.

Even the Fang family in Lujiang Shu County can contact him and do "population" business.

Thinking of this, Lu Yi asked the housekeeper: "Is Cao Cao going to attack Xuzhou?"

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, looked at Lu Yi with some surprise and said, "Do you still know about Cao Cao?"

Although Cao Cao was one of the most famous heroes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, not many people in Lujiang knew about him!

During this period, people had too few channels to know current affairs.

Many people live their entire lives knowing only the officials around them.

As for the people around Lu Yi, the Yellow Turban Uprising is basically over now, and the princes are fighting, and they don't even know!
They thought this world was governed by the imperial court!
And Lu Yi knew that the Yellow Turban Uprising was over and the princes were fighting, not based on intelligence obtained from the outside world, but based on historical speculation!

Because people here often say that Liu Biao's army from the west is coming!
The west refers to Jingzhou.

At this time, Liu Biao's army was present in Jingzhou, indicating that Liu Biao had become the lord of Jingzhou.

According to historical speculation, now is the time when Dong Zhuo is destroyed and the heroes compete!
But the housekeeper said that Xuzhou Cavalry Captain Zang Ba actually became a bandit.

It is speculated that Tao Qian's men in Xuzhou killed Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, and then Cao Cao took the opportunity to retaliate against Xuzhou.

It was precisely because of this that Zang Ba was afraid of death, so he gave up his position as Xuzhou Cavalry Commander and became a bandit.

It is precisely because of this that people in Xuzhou want to flee.

Seeing the housekeeper asking this question, everyone looked at Lu Yi curiously.

"Who is Cao Cao?"

"Lu Lang, I have a question for you!"

Lu Yi glanced at the people around him and sighed: "Cao Cao is a person with a greater official position than our Lujiang governor. He has his own powerful army and even occupies an entire state."

Looking at the steward, Lu Yi said: "Zang Ba was originally a cavalry captain, but he has become a bandit. Then Xuzhou is finished. I heard that people in Xuzhou killed Cao Cao's father. Now Cao Cao will definitely kill him with blood to avenge his father." Xuzhou. Therefore, people from Xuzhou fled south."

Looking at the women sitting on their knees and the people stuffed in sacks, Lu Yi said with emotion: "It's true that the people are suffering when there is prosperity; when there is death, the people are suffering."
