During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Neo-Confucianism did not flourish.

The restraint on women is not as strict as it was in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Generally speaking, Confucianism in the Han Dynasty is still in its infancy and has not yet achieved great success.Therefore, women in this era are relatively free and have their own ideas about marriage and other aspects.But comparative freedom is only relative.The low status of women is a fact that cannot be changed in this era, and even in the next thousand years.Especially after Ban Zhao, the restraint on women was much stronger than in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, or even earlier.

Ban Zhao, who is it?
This female name is Huiban, and she is from Anling, Fufeng. She is the daughter of Ban Biao and the younger sister of Ban Gu and Ban Chao.

Ban Gu wrote the Eight Tables of Han Shu and the posthumous manuscript of "Astronomical Records", and died without finishing.It was Ban Zhao who inherited his aspirations and independently completed the seventh table of Hanshu "Biao Guan Gong Qing Biao" and the sixth annals "Tianwen Zhi".Then, "Hanshu" was able to become a book and passed down to later generations...

Ban Zhao used to be the queen's noble teacher, known as Master Cao (sound gu, flat tone)
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Zhao was undoubtedly one of the representative figures of women and was praised by the world.

The reason why it is called "Master Cao" is because he married Cao Shou.Ban Zhao was a widow in his early years, and the commandment to be a woman was also the code of conduct for women at that time.

So, why is it true that a second wife can run around for a man without hesitating to show her face?
Cai Yan had turned against Wei's family in the early years, but now, for Cao Peng, he even seeks to humiliate himself, and pleads with Wei Qi, is it normal emotion?
It's not that Yang Fen has never heard of these rumors.

But to be honest, he didn't quite believe it.

Gain Cao Peng and Cai Yan are very different in age.There is no shortage of women around Cao Peng, so how could he walk with Cai Yan?But when the words came out of Guo Jia's mouth, the meaning was different.That's right, for a man, Cai Yan could plead with her in-law's family who had already turned against her. If it was just an ordinary friendship, how could it be possible?Moreover, judging by Cao Cao's attitude, it seems that he not only does not object to this matter, but is even happy to see its success.

There are more articles here...

Yang Yu has heard of Cao Peng for a long time, but has never met Cao Peng.

This time, Cao Cao was dressed lightly and did not inform the prefect of Xingyang County, let alone Yin Xiahouyuan of Henan Province. He only took Guo Jia and Yang Yu, and dozens of Yabing soldiers, and quietly left the brigade for Xingyang. .It shows that he doesn't want to be known by too many people.

Although Yang Yu is said to be Cao Cao's personal follower, he is not a confidant.

This time he didn't shy away from him, which seemed to explain some problems.

That is, Cao Cao also believed that there seemed to be some relationship between Yang Fen and Cao Peng, so he didn't deliberately let Yang Fen avoid it.

It seems that this matter needs to be known to the father.

Yang Fen was on the road and secretly made up his mind.

His father, named Yang Xu, served as the prefect of Nanyang when he was Emperor Ling.Later, because of the chaos in the court, he became an official and returned home.

Yang Xu, once helped Cai Yong when he was in the most difficult time.

It is precisely because of this friendship that Cai Yong betrothed his second daughter, Cai Zhenji, to the son of Yangxu, Yangxu...

Wait a minute, my father used to be the prefect of Nanyang.

It is said that Cao Peng's family lived in Zhongyang Mountain for many generations.Doesn't this mean that the Cao family had some connections with their own?

Yang Yu was thinking about all these things in her heart, and before she knew it, she accompanied Cao Cao and her party into the territory of Xingyang County.

The battle of Guandu is not far away.

As one of the main battlefields of the entire war at that time, Xingyang was also affected by the flames of war.Before entering Xingyang, traces of war can be seen everywhere.But after entering the territory of Xingyang County, I felt a clear difference.In late autumn, it was rainy.The fields on both sides of the road have been harvested.From time to time, I saw people taking advantage of the rain in late autumn to plow the fields.

This is a necessary procedure of farming.

After the land has been harvested, it is plowed, and then rested for a winter, and then planted and cultivated in the coming year.

It's like taking a breath and taking a rest after being tired.

Turning over the field is just a breath, and after winter, the earth will be dormant.

"I didn't expect Xingyang County to be well governed."

Guo Jia couldn't help but let out a sigh.

No wonder, along the way, the flames of war can be seen everywhere.

On the contrary, this Xingyang is like a pure land.Those busy people looked very carefree, showing a bit of joy.

Presumably, the harvest in Xingyang County this year will not be too bad.

It was not the first time for Cao Cao to visit Heyi Workshop, so he was familiar with the road.

They also knew that Cao Peng's family lived next to Heyi Workshop, so they didn't need to inquire.Walking to the bank of the Sishui River, suddenly heard a scream.

Yang Qi was startled, and quickly waved her hand, motioning for the guards to come forward.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao let them disperse.He and Guo Jiacui climbed up a hill, raised their eyes and looked into the distance, and saw several teams of people training on a river beach not far away.Those people don't look like they are wearing official military uniforms, but private soldiers' attire.He didn't carry any weapons, just marched, ran, and made various actions on the river beach.Several people, riding on horses and wearing single clothes, yelled loudly.

But seeing those soldiers, they didn't complain, and followed the instructions of the riders, and continued to perform drills.

Guo Jia suddenly pointed to the distance and saw a red-faced man who was training a group of soldiers.There are not many people, that is, about ten people.They walked forward shirtless, and with a shout, the soldiers immediately lined up on the river beach, enclosing the ten people in the middle.

After that, I saw those ten people and started to fight against the soldiers.

From the one-on-one at the beginning, to the later, one-on-ten, the fight was extremely fierce...

Is it a country gang fight?

It seems not!

However, Yang Qi has never seen such a method of training troops.

Those ten soldiers were obviously elite.Through continuous fighting, until the end, was controlled by the opponent.Yang Qin was secretly surprised by the brutal scene.

At this moment, Yang Yu suddenly heard Guo Jia whisper: "My lord, look quickly...is that the third son?"

Cao Cao was stunned, and looked in the direction of Guo Jia's finger.

I saw a young general appearing on the river beach leading a group of people.

"Anping, Master ordered you to bring the white camel soldiers into the mountains for training tomorrow."

"what?"

"Hey, this mission..." The young general reined in his horse and looked at the red-faced man, "Mr. Zhu, you set off into the mountain tonight, and tomorrow Anping will send white camel soldiers into the mountain to encircle you. This training will Continue for ten days... Within ten days, there will be no support. As long as you persist for ten days, and you can keep [-]% of your men, you will be considered a victory. Anping, if you lose... Sir, you can order, when the time comes There must be a special training session. By the way, Ling Ming and I will be the referees, so be careful when the time comes."

Whether it was the red-faced man or the burly man riding a horse, their faces immediately turned bitter.

Cao Zhang laughed triumphantly, his eyes flashed inadvertently, and he immediately spotted Cao Cao and others on the hill in the distance.

It's just that the distance is a bit far, and it's not clear who it is.Cao Zhang frowned, and without saying a word, he urged his horse to charge towards the mound.

"My lord..."

Cao Cao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Forget it, don't hide, if someone sees you, if you hide again, you may cause trouble.

Feng Xiao, let's go over and have a look and find out what the hell these people are doing.Ah Fu is playing tricks again. "

"Here!"

Guo Jia immediately responded.

Cao Cao immediately rushed down the hill.

At this time, Cao Zhang also saw Cao Cao clearly, and couldn't help being surprised.

He was about to yell, but Cao Cao made a gesture, put his finger to his lips, and motioned him not to yell.

Cao Zhang rode his horse up to Cao Cao, kicked off the saddle, walked quickly a few steps, knelt down on one knee and said, "Father, when did you come to Xingyang?"

"Just arrived."

Cao Cao raised his head and saw the guarded soldiers in the distance.So he reached out and pulled Cao Zhang up, "Let them disperse, and then accompany me to the residence."

"Here."

Cao Zhang got on his horse quickly, ran back to explain to Pang Mingzhudao, and then returned to Cao Cao.

As for Pang Ming and others, although they don't know who they are, they think they are respected.During this period of time, there were no famous people in the family, so the two of them didn't care.Ever since Cao Peng opened the Fuzhilou, the family has suddenly become lively.Many people came to visit, hoping to get some valuable paper from Cao Peng.At the same time, some people hope to join forces with Cao Peng to manage blessing papers.

Among them, there is the envoy of the Hedong Wei family.

Pang Ming was not surprised, so he led the team back to the river beach.

"Ziwen, what are they doing?"

Cao Zhang said with a smile: "The man on the horse is named Pang Ming, one of the two tigers you collected in Xiliang. Those soldiers are the white camel soldiers of your husband, and they are practicing. The red-faced one is called Zhu Dao, and he is a ranger. My son, I used to work in the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce. During the Battle of Lintao, he and Wang Duwei sneaked into Lintao County and assisted General Gan in capturing Lintao. He made great contributions. Now he is Mr.'s guest.

The ten men under his command were sharp soldiers selected from the army by Mr. Sheng.

The husband said that they need special training... The child was curious at the time, so he followed the training for a few days. Later, he really couldn't bear the hardship and had to quit. "

"what?"

Cao Cao was quite surprised!

You know, Cao Zhang is the kind of master who can endure hardships in public among the Cao family.

How can people who practice martial arts not endure hardships?
So when he heard that Cao Zhang couldn't stand that kind of training, he was secretly surprised. How did Cao Peng train?

"Archery, knife, riding, survival, fighting..."

Cao Zhang was on the horse, and began to complain with his fingers, "Mister has set up ten training methods in total, and there is also a method of concealment, each of which is more strange than the other. At first, Mr. selected from the local area, but none of them were selected. Later, Mr. ran to find Uncle Xiahou, select these people from the army. Father, you don’t know how strict the selection is. You can’t be good-looking, nor can you be ugly; you can’t be too tall, you can’t be too short; No way, no way to fight; no way too old, no way too young...

Almost angered Uncle Xiahou!

But after Uncle Xia Hou watched a training session, he stopped pursuing it.

From 3000 people, choose ten people... I really don't know what the husband is going to do.Asking him is also mysterious..."

Only ten people were selected out of 3000 people?

Cao Cao couldn't help being secretly surprised.

He knew that with the relationship between Xia Houyuan and Cao Peng, he would definitely not use some old and weak soldiers to deal with it, and would definitely give some elites.

From the three thousand elite soldiers, choose ten people?
What a harsh standard that is.

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia, but Guo Jia also looked blank.

So, he changed the subject, "Ziwen, what have you been doing here recently?"

"Practice martial arts in the morning, study at noon, and follow Mr.'s white camel soldiers in the afternoon to watch their training. At night, Mr. passes the assessment before you can rest."

After hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning.

He looked Cao Zhang up and down, and he could feel that Huang Xu'er, who used to only know how to dance with a spear, had really grown up now.

Looks thinner, but leaner.

At the same time, it added a bit of calmness...

"What books have you read?"

"At the beginning it was eight hundred characters, and then the three characters.

Now I am starting to study "Lun", and occasionally I will read "Annotation to the Thirteen Psalms of Sun Wu" that my father gave me, and sometimes I will discuss "36 Strategies" with Xiaoai, or I will read Six Secrets and Three Strategies.Uh, my husband also asked me to read "Book", saying that if I don't read "Book", it's not enough to talk about military affairs.

During this period of time, it was really hard for me! "

Cao Cao laughed and nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, Youxue's "36 Strategies" has already become a book?"

"Ok!"

Cao Cao turned his head and smiled at Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao is right, let him be honest for a while. I have been waiting for his "36 Strategies" for two years, and now it is finally a book! Just let him use the deer pattern Copy a copy of it for me, and when I go back, I want to have a good look at it."

Guo Jia, smiled without saying a word.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++
Unknowingly, a group of people have entered the farm.

When they learned that Cao Cao was coming, everyone in the village was startled.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly brought her family to visit.

Speaking of which, Cao Cao is not an outsider, so he is not a stranger.

However, he didn't see Cao Peng, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he asked.

"Ah Fu has been staying in the workshop for the past two days, rarely at home."

"What does he do in the workshop?"

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help being dumbfounded, and stammered after a long while: "Could it be possible that uncle forgot? Ah Fu is still in ghost salary now, so naturally he's going to the workshop."

Please, you are the one who sentenced him to three years old!
Cao Cao suddenly looked embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

I sentenced him to be three years old, but I didn't make him really do coolies.But it's hard for him to say these words, he can't say to Mrs. Zhang: I made him three years old, just for show, don't take it seriously.Then, wouldn't it be a loss of face for nothing?
Huang Yueying guessed Cao Cao's thoughts, and quickly said: "My lord, actually there is a reason why my husband went to the workshop."

"Oh?"

"My husband felt that the efficiency of the workshop was not high, so he came up with an assembly line work method.

In the past few days, the new regulations have just started to be implemented, and someone must be watching.That's why my husband is in the workshop for the convenience of rectification.After the new regulations are familiar to everyone, they will naturally be able to withdraw, and please don't blame me, my lord. "

"assembly line?"

Cao Cao was stunned and looked confused.

Yang Li also found it novel. This workmanship regulation has existed since ancient times. What needs to be changed?
"Yueying, what exactly is an assembly line?"

Guo Jia couldn't bear his curiosity, so he asked.

Huang Yueying thought for a while, "Actually, in my husband's words, it can be summed up in six words: standardization and institutionalization!"

She began to explain the assembly line working method in detail, and Cao Cao nodded again and again.Guo Jia, on the other hand, fell into deep thought. After Huang Yueying finished speaking, he said in a deep voice: "This method seems to have been used by the Qin Dynasty. After the Qin Dynasty perished, it was unknown. Youxue actually came up with such a method, It is indeed not easy. It seems that he has indeed gained a lot in the two years in the northwest, which is gratifying."

The assembly line work method existed as early as the pre-Qin period.

However, after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, few people knew about this method and gradually faded out.

If it weren't for Guo Jia's mixed reading, I'm afraid he wouldn't know about this matter.In his mind, Cao Peng's ability to come up with the working method of this assembly line should be due to his two years in the Northwest.After all, there used to be the foundation of Lao Qin, maybe someone would know about it.

Cao Cao, immediately relieved.

Just then, Cao Peng came back!

He was notified by Cao Zhang before he knew the news of Cao Cao's arrival.

He rushed home in a hurry, and didn't even have time to change his clothes.Seeing Cao Peng covered in mud and sweat, for some reason, Cao Cao had a sore nose and almost shed tears.

This is the hero who won the Northwest for me!

But because of Wei Duan's country, he ended up like this...

"Ah Fu, how are you doing these days?"

Cao Peng hurriedly replied: "My lord, the guilty minister is safe and well."

"Okay, okay, don't say anything about criminals, this matter... I came from Hulao today and happened to be passing through Xingyang, so I came to visit you.

You don't have to go to the workshop tomorrow, just walk with me and talk.

Speaking of which, it has been almost three years since the blink of an eye, and we have never met each other.By the way, on the way just now, Ziwen said something about entering the mountain for training, can you accompany me to have a look tomorrow. "

"Lucky for this nephew."

Seeing Cao Peng coming back, Mrs. Zhang took Huang Yueying and others to retreat.

In the hall, only Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Cao Zhang, Yang Yu and Cao Peng were left.

"Ah Fu, I heard you are a father again?"

Why do you say 'again'?Just because Cao Peng added a son and a daughter not long ago.Guo Huan gave birth to a daughter for Cao Peng, named Cao Yuan, and Zhen Mi gave birth to a son for Cao Peng, but the name was quite strange, Cao Rui.Rui means smart.

According to Zhen Mi, it is hoped that he can become a smart boy.

But Cao Peng felt extremely awkward!

Just because this Cao Rui is the historical Wei Mingdi, the son of Cao Pi.

He wanted to object, but the whole family thought the name was very good, so he couldn't find a suitable excuse.For this reason, in his heart, he was really awkward for a while.But as time went by, he gradually ignored the past.

Anyway, Cao Pi has already died!

Cao Rui is my son...

Guo Jia asked curiously, "Why don't you see Xiaoluan and the others?"

"Uh, they went to Luoyang Baima Temple to offer incense."

"Oh?"

"I am in the new concubine room in the northwest, and I believe in the Buddha. So after giving birth, I want to pray for the child's blessing... Xiaoluan and Xiaohuan happened to have the intention to go, so they took the child with them. Hehe, I guess it will take a few days Day, they will return to Xingyang."

"I see."

Guo Jia didn't ask any more questions.

Several people chatted for a while, and Guo Jia suddenly asked: "Youxue, Sun Quan in Jiangdong today, is stationed in Ruxukou, and the tiger watches Hefei, do you know?"

Cao Peng was taken aback, "I've been busy with workshop affairs recently, so I really don't know."
