Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 374 The Talking Little Tail

The end of the second year of Jian'an passed quietly.

As soon as New Year's Day is over, it's a new year.

At the beginning of the third year of Jian'an, there was no fighting in the surrounding areas. Liu Bei in Huainan did not jump, and Sun Ce in Jiangdong also stayed put for the time being.

The world seems to have returned to peace, and it is so harmonious that people are not used to it.

"Marquis Champion, it's time to go to court again. Get some eggs."

"Okay, auntie." Zhang Wu took the eggs from the peasant woman's hand and stuffed a handful of copper coins back into her hands.

"Marquis Champion, take two pheasants to replenish the bodies of the ladies. They are fresh. They were just washed out from my farm."

"Okay, thank you uncle."

Along the way, the people around him were not afraid of Zhang Wu at all. They even specially prepared items and waited here just to express their feelings. If they had any good things, they would give them to Zhang Wu.

They are all wild game, not very valuable.

Zhang Wu accepted everyone who came, but he would pay some money in return.

After the introduction of Yingling Pavilion, this love continued to ferment.

In these troubled times, ordinary people have at least one or two military positions in their homes.

There is nothing wrong with serving as a soldier and eating food to protect your family and country.

But that person's flesh and blood is not flesh and blood.

Once they died in battle, apart from a cold pension, they lost their loved ones. If possible, no one wants to exchange their blood relatives for money.

But ever since Zhang Wu proposed Yingling Pavilion, this situation has changed.

Construction has begun on two huge attic buildings in the northern suburbs of Yecheng. Once completed, it will become a visible honor to die on the battlefield and to be shrouded in horse leather.

It is the only way for ordinary soldiers to enjoy the incense of the world.

Not to mention those who are already in the military, even those who are not soldiers are eager to join the army immediately.

From ancient times to the present, soldiers have never been on the same level as princes.

Yingling Pavilion not only greatly improved the status of soldiers and braves, but also gave them a guarantee.

If you die, you will die. As long as you are not a deserter, even if you die, you will still be remembered forever.

After a series of chain reactions, the intuitive manifestation is that the people's attitude towards Zhang Wu seems to be more enthusiastic than before.

Of course, the most exaggerated one is Cao Cao.

Zhang Wu only changed his military status and his treatment was like this.

At the beginning of the third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao kept issuing decrees out of Yecheng and directly imposed taxes.

On weekdays, the tax is one for fifteen, and during wartime, the tax is one for twelve.

Those who confine land to cause harm to their neighbors will be beheaded, and those who exploit and profit from it will be beheaded.

Cao Wei's forces were originally in an important stage of reshuffling the old and new families. Anyone who dares to commit a crime will definitely be punished by King Wei's butcher's knife.

What's more, in order to set an example, the land was directly returned to the people. Even if the land was not returned to the people, they would pay as much as possible when hiring people to farm. They were afraid that one day the King of Wei would be unhappy and directly send someone to question him. .

In this way, when people have food in their hands, they have a chance to survive in troubled times.

For them, Cao Cao is their reborn parent

The common people are the most unsophisticated, and they will treat anyone who is kind to them with their heart and soul.

In this way, Cao Cao will suffer. When I returned to the next court, I didn't even dare to ride on the carriage, and had to disguise myself before I dared to sneak back home.

As soon as he showed his face, he would be surrounded by enthusiastic people in the city for three days and three nights.

It can be said to be a happy trouble.

On the one hand, Cao Cao did enjoy the atmosphere of being fanatically supported by others.

On the other hand, Boss Cao has so many things to do that he has no time to waste.

Zhang Wu just turned the corner of Yanwu Road, and Ma Yunlu came out of the main entrance of the Cheqi General's Mansion on time as usual, as if he was specifically blocking Zhang Wu.

"Brother Ziqian, is it true that you can knock down my eldest brother with one hand?"

"Why do those common people come together to give you some eggs and vegetables when they see you?"

"With my talent, how many more years of training do you think I can be able to serve as your lieutenant general?"

What a weird general, why are these generals in Yecheng married to men who don't like red clothes and prefer armed men?

If the battlefield was really a place where martial arts were simply competed, Zhang Wu would have conquered the world by himself long ago. Even an old man like Zhang Wu would occasionally fall into the intrigues, let alone a daughter's family.

The girl from Liangzhou who was still naked and tall on her hind legs just walked like this, chattering non-stop after Zhang Wuma.

Zhang Wu was annoyed by the questions, so he simply turned away and started counting the houses on the roadside.

This girl is like a hundred thousand whys. If I really have to answer her questions one by one, I will be exhausted.

Only when she was tired of asking and closed her mouth did Zhang Wu reach out and pull her onto the horse.

If Ma Chao saw Zhang Wu bullying his sister, whom he regarded as the apple of his eye, he might as well come here with a big gun to risk his life.

The nine-to-five life is indeed satisfying and fascinating.

Isn't it a blessing to be able to watch with my own eyes that Cao Wei, whom I once fought for, is getting stronger and stronger.

As the year turned, he hadn't seen Cao Jie for some time. I can't help but feel curious about what the newlywed woman looks like.

Chi Ji connected with his master and stopped in front of Prince Wei's residence while walking.

Zhang Wu got off his horse and said, "I have something to do, Xiaohong, take her back home."

Ma Yunlu was waiting to dismount and follow him, but Chi Ji turned around and ran away.

The girl screamed in surprise, fearing that she would fall off the horse, so she had to hug the horse's neck tightly.

Cao Cao also disguised himself after Zhang Wu and did not return to the palace. With Dian Wei and Xu Chu out of the way, Zhang Wu fled and climbed up the high wall of the Wei Palace.

After a few steps along Qiangtou, he walked around to Cao Jie's boudoir with ease.

It’s really not that he likes to climb walls.

Men and women are not allowed to see each other before marriage. If he walks in through the door, he will definitely not see his sweetheart.

The spring equinox has just passed, and there is a hint of chill in the air.

The girl wore a mink fur coat and sat on a stone bench in the small courtyard, embroidering a fiery red wedding dress stitch by stitch.

The maids around me take care of them carefully.

Across the table, Cao Pi had a sad face.

"Second sister, please help me, will you be alright? Think about it, who was the best to you when you were a child?"

"Second brother, don't mess around. You are clearly older than me, how can you call me sister?"

Cao Pi waved his hands repeatedly after hearing this: "Come on, I don't dare to take advantage of your husband. You don't know yet. My father has already recorded the title of Jin Wang for my brother-in-law. I still have to suffer a little loss."

Daughters are the thinnest-skinned ones. It’s just that they were teased when they were young. How could they become husbands before they were married?

Cao Jie raised his head and glanced at Cao Pi: "If your second brother wants to join the army, just tell your father directly. Why should you use me to ask Brother Ziqian?"
