Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 75
"Civil husband——? Young master, those people who are not even qualified as handymen are too weak! Let them be civilian husbands, not to mention eating food every day, and they have to be paid!" Ji Ling said.

"General Ji, don't worry too much about this. We don't let the peasants eat for free, but require them to serve hard labor. By completing the designated tasks, you can get a different amount of food and salary. If someone does not work hard, then they will not get it." Food and pay! By recruiting civilian husbands, the living conditions of the common people can be eased, and many things that were originally done by the handymen can be done, so that the handymen can have more time for training!" Feng Yao said.

After hearing Feng Yao's explanation, Ji Ling expressed admiration on his face, and said respectfully: "The young master is extremely intelligent! The general admires me!"

……

After Feng Yao sent Ji Ling away, he opened the bamboo slips sent by the county magistrate Lu Fan, and a series of small characters jumped into his eyes. He was in a good mood. The bamboo slips recorded in detail the details of the county's warehouse, such as money, food and equipment. material.

After a quick glance, Feng Yao only memorized a few important figures,... silver tael 150 three taels, wheat 820 five shi, corn 12 four shi..., the following There are also many various figures, which are recorded in great detail, and all the quantities are accurate to figures such as one or two, one horse, and one stone.

"I am really very lucky to have a talent like Lu Fan! I just don't know if this has changed history? What will Sun Ce, who will dominate Soochow in the future, be without Lu Fan, a very important talent?"

……

On the 28th day of June in the first year of Xingping (AD [-]), Feng Yao had already occupied Dian County, Runan County for six full days. It was nearly a month since Feng Yao left Lu Bu's forces. After being the prefect of Nanjun, Feng Yao immediately sent a letter to Lu Bu, expressing his position, and also directly identified himself (the son of Yangzhou Muzuo General Yangdihou Yuan Shu). In the letter, Feng Yao's tone was very respect, and proposed to form an alliance with Lu Bu to deal with Cao Cao.

At this time, the letter was placed on the copy of Lu Bu's study master. The seal on the letter had already been opened, and Lu Bu had read the letter three times.

In the study, Lu Bu paced back and forth, while Lu Lingqi, who was kneeling beside her, bowed her head. Lu Lingqi was accompanied by her biological mother, Mrs. Yan, and her aunt, Mrs. Wei.

After walking around a few times, Lu Bu sighed, sat down again, took out Feng Yao's autographed letter, and read it word by word from beginning to end. One and two bright red seals, the seal of the prefect of Runan County, and the seal of the Kou Xiaowei.

The corner of Lu Bu's mouth twitched a few times, then he suddenly raised his hand, and slammed it on the copywriting. There was a crackling sound, and the copywriting was shattered and scattered all over the floor.

Lu Lingqi's body trembled slightly, and she lowered her head even lower.

"Good girl, don't be afraid! Mother is here!" Madam Yan comforted her softly, stroking Lu Lingqi's shoulder with her hand.

After Madam Yan comforted her daughter, she bowed to Lu Bu again, and said, "My husband, I think this Feng Yao is definitely not an ungrateful person. During the last time I came here from Chang'an, I observed his behavior many times. ! And as he is the only son of Marquis Yangdi, he is worthy of Lingqi!"

Mrs. Wei just nodded, expressing her support for Mrs. Yan, and did not dare to open her mouth to Lu Buhuo.

Lu Bu said: "Ma'am, I also know that the alliance with Yuan Shu is the most beneficial, but when I think of the past, I hate it. I led more than 100 cavalry to break out from Chang'an City. I only think that Yuan Shu is the most hero in the world. I went to seek refuge wholeheartedly, and wanted to use his force to attack Chang'an so as to rescue your mother and daughter, but I never thought that Yuan Shu would reject me, a dignified Lord Marquis! If Yuan Shu hadn't treated me like that back then, how would our family have suffered? So much suffering!"

"Let's not mention this matter. Let's talk about Feng Yao. The Marquis has been cultivating him with all his heart and regards him as my confidant. To behead him in order to shock the army is because this Marquis is reluctant to let go of such a talent, and to get rid of his crimes, to appease and irritate him, he personally rewarded him with 100 taels of gold, but he did not expect him to let me down..."

"I don't care about these two things, but I didn't expect this kid to have too much heart. He dared to make a life-long contract with my most beloved only daughter behind my back! How could I swallow this breath!" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, and his anger grew again.

"Husband, please be safe and don't get bored. We have all suffered great hardships in the past two years, so we should cherish what we have even more!" Although Mrs. Yan has entered middle age, her voice is very melodious. After a few words, Lu Bu's anger immediately dissipated a bit.

"Lingqi, if you really like that kid Feng Yao, you can put down your face and don't want it for your father, and agree to that kid's request!" Lu Bu asked in a low voice. Regarding his daughter Lingqi, Lu Bu always felt that the two I have owed too much over the years,

Lu Lingqi hummed lightly, then blushed immediately, and buried her head in Madam Yan's arms, as if a deer was bumping in her heart, this humming was also said with great courage, if If Lu Lingqi were to say a few more words in front of her father, she would be ashamed to death.

Mrs. Yan patted Lu Lingqi on the back lightly with a smile, and said, "Daughter, you are doing well in everything, but this is too thin!" Then she smiled and faced Lu Bu, and said, "Husband, did you hear, we daughter is willing!"

Lu Bu clenched his fists tightly, his hands made crackling noises like roasted beans, he took a long breath, and then let out another breath, when he let go of his fists, his complexion eased a lot, and said: " Alright! That's it! But don't reveal any information about the marriage to other people, and don't talk about the kid's identity. I will make arrangements when the time is right! I will make a difference in a day or two Qin Yi went to talk to that kid in detail!"

Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Wei nodded with a smile. Lu Lingqi, who was nestled in the arms of her mother, Mrs. Yan, also raised her head at this time. Although the blush on her face had not faded, her expression had become much firmer, and there was a hint of stubbornness in her charming eyes. and look forward to.

Lu Bu waved his sleeves, stopped looking at Madam Yan and the other three, and strode towards the door. Before opening the door to go out, he paused for a moment, turned his head, glanced at the shattered wood on the ground, and finally fixed his gaze on Madam Yan. The letter on the bamboo mat in front of him said: "After reading the letter, burn it immediately!" After speaking, he opened the door and stepped out, but before leaving, he did not forget to close the door.

"Perhaps that kid is really different from ordinary people! He is also qualified to be the son-in-law of the Marquis! But this is not enough, the Marquis will really agree when he is really settled in Runan!"

……

As soon as Lu Bu returned to the palace, he saw Chen Gong waiting anxiously.

"My Lord! An urgent report came from the scouts! Cao Cao personally led an army of [-] to attack our Puyang City!" Chen Gong greeted Lu Bu when he saw Lu Bu's return, and reported in a serious tone.
