The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 99

"Father wants to fight Cao Cao decisively, my son, please be the vanguard—" I gritted my teeth and said; "My son must chop off the head of Cao Cao's old thief and offer it to my father." This may be what my father likes to hear most at the moment, and he immediately said ;"Okay, okay, okay, I will let you be the pioneer as a father."

"It's getting late now, you should go back first, take care of your body, and go to battle with your father in a few days to kill the enemy." I saw Aunt Tian's pretty face flushed slightly, and I bit my lip lightly.I thought to myself, if my father is so sick and still rushing forward, this Aunt Tian is really a villain, and this will not work.Something will happen.

I suddenly thought of something, and said, "Father, my son's Youzhou Governor's Department lacks an assistant. My son wants Mr. Shenpei's nephew to be judged. I don't know if my father will agree." Father thought to himself, judged Who is Rong?I don't even know each other, I'm nobody, so I'm going to do whatever I want.You'd better go, I have something to do. "Okay, you can say hello to Guo Tu."

I took out a prescription from my sleeve and said, "Father, this is a prescription my child prescribed for you. It can replenish blood, nourish qi, and regulate the spirit. It can be decocted later, and it will have miraculous effects—"

The father sighed; "Xi'er, you have a heart."

"As long as father can get well, this matter is nothing." As he spoke, tears rolled down again and again.Aunt Tian next to her cried with her at the right time, this woman, why is she like this! !I thought to myself, if I knew this little vixen was pestering my father all day long, I should have prescribed a prescription for invigorating the kidney and strengthening the yang.

I watched my father deal with it in a hurry!Business, and resigned in a sensible manner.As soon as he walked out of the house, someone called Zhu from behind, "Master, please stay." It was Aunt Tian.I hurriedly turned around, pretending to be like a filial son and grandson, and saluted, "My aunt told me what to order?" I thought to myself, why are you calling me?Aunt Tian smiled charmingly; "Second Young Master, I don't quite understand your prescription, could you please explain it."

I said coldly: "This prescription only needs to be handed over to the pharmacy to get the medicine, and I don't need my aunt to understand." Aunt Tian bit her lower lip and said with a coquettish smile; "But I want to decoct the medicine for the general myself, so naturally I have to ask clearly . " After finishing speaking, by the way, she gave me a sideways glance.Jiaorou said: "My lord will not be stingy to teach me." I smelled a burst of fragrance in my nose, and I couldn't help but feel flustered.The mature and plump body wrapped in red clothes looked at me with bold and seductive eyes, exhaling like blue.

I thought to myself that it would take time to explain this prescription to her. If someone saw me whispering to her at the door, there would definitely be a scandal, and I would be passive at that time.Immediately turned around and said coldly; "Auntie can ask Li Langzhong in the house, and he will explain to you. Yuan Xi still has something to do, so I will leave first."

I heard her stomping behind me and slamming the door angrily.I thought to myself, I really can't offend her, it would be bad if she gossips in front of her father.

When I got home, Yaoqin told me that the young lady had gone back to her mother's house.It almost made me mad, this Zhen Mi really forced me to go to Liangshan to have extramarital affairs.I think of Cai Yan, she is still in the barracks.Damn it, I actually forgot to tell my dad about her. Dad used to be an official in the same dynasty as Cai Yong, and he has a deep friendship, so he will definitely treat Cai Yan kindly.I'm going to say hello to him tomorrow, and try to get her closer to the city as soon as possible.

But early the next morning, my father sent someone to tell me that I was in charge of supervising the food and grass, and urged Qingjiyou and the four states to send all the food and grass for the army to fight as soon as possible.He also issued a strict order that if there is a delay of one day, he will be beheaded immediately.Let me and Guo Tu handle this errand.I thought to myself that after the war, the people's harvest must not be good, so I took Guo Tu to the outskirts to inspect the fields.He didn't want to go, he was just dragged by me.

It is just after the autumn harvest.The field has changed another appearance, and the colorful autumn colors are about to fade away like feathers.There is a kind of silence after the noise in the river.Corn stalks freshly cleared from the fields lay on the banks of the river and on the edge of the well with the potter's wheel hanging down.The sowing of wheat is coming to an end, the fields that have just been sown are exposed to the wet soil, and the fields that have been planted earlier have already exposed the tender green of the young leaves of wheat seedlings.The rainy season in summer and autumn has come to an end, and the dull battle clouds that have pervaded the rivers and the sky for a long time do not seem to be obvious here.The earth is simple and elegant, the sky is open and cold, and the slight coolness in the morning makes people energetic.

The sun rose over the city of Jizhou, and Guo Tutima and I stood on the field path, followed by [-] soldiers, led by Shen Rong.He has been officially transferred to the jurisdiction of the Youzhou Governor's Department.The military power was taken away.But he was quite happy, because he still didn't know how important his military power would be in the days to come.

Many men working in the fields stood far away and looked at these two big men on tall horses.Guo Tu was a little impatient, and complained: "It's nothing to see. You see, my lord, they live very comfortably. Compared with other lands in the Han Dynasty, Jizhou is relatively peaceful, and the people live well. In addition, The rain is good this year, and the mudlegs can supply enough food for the army.”

On the surface, it looks very peaceful indeed, the growth of wheat seedlings in the field and the harvested grain sorghum are quite gratifying, but why do the people I saw along the road sigh and frown?

The men and women in the field started to work with their heads down, because I had already walked over on my horse.A muscular muscular farmer was lashing a group of mules in front with his riding whip.The plow stick was held behind the mule, and the plow stick was firmly pressed into the soil by the burly man.After being whipped, the mule neighed and walked forward.It walks in a straight line, as if it has been strictly trained, and it will never go wrong.The big man plowed plow by plow, not to mention how finely he plowed, for fear of wasting an inch and a half of land.

The land has been irrigated by floods in autumn and summer and trampled during harvesting. The sticky northern black soil has been severely hardened, and large pieces of dead mud lumps have been turned up on the plowshares.Behind the man was followed by a woman and a shriveled old man. Using a hoe, he began to beat the hard lumps of soil one by one, trying to break them up to sow seeds.When I picked up my horse and passed by, I heard Guo Tu behind me let out a snort from his nasal cavity, and he seemed very disdainful.I'm too lazy to talk to him.I dismounted, drove back the guards who followed me, and walked into the field on foot.

"You bastard, what are you doing? Why are you stepping on me just after plowing? Believe it or not, I'll break your leg." The big man became impatient when he saw me walking into his field.The land is no longer plowed, and it is a whip to rush over with the whip.I didn't get out of the way, and was whipped in the face by him.It was hot and raw.I immediately turned around and shouted loudly: "Don't move, put down your bows and arrows. If anyone dares to move, I will kill his whole family."

Shen Rong immediately ordered [-] soldiers to pull the bowstrings full and point at the bows and arrows that the man was about to shoot.The man glanced back at my soldier and snorted disdainfully, then grabbed the plow stick, waved his whip, and continued plowing as if beating the mule in protest.It was as if he had never hit anyone at all.His father and wife were so frightened that they rolled, crawled, and cried, and ran over to kowtow to me.Fortunately, the ground that has just been turned over is soft, and if it hits flat ground these few times, I'm afraid it will cause a concussion.

I quickly bent down to help the two of them up, and kept shouting: "It's okay, it's okay, old man, get up, it's okay, if I say it's okay, it's okay."

"What's the matter? I will beat you when I beat you. What can you do? At worst, you will be dragged into the army by you and killed by Cao Jun like my elder brother. Some of these officials are good people. Fuck it all Damn it, feed the dog if you die, the dog won’t eat it. I’m starving to death, and I’m dead if I’m hacked with a knife. He hugged his waist and thighs.That's why it didn't come.

I thought to myself that in the battle of Guandu, nine out of ten people lost their loved ones, no wonder they were all frowning.On the one hand, I was puzzled by his words, and said with a wry smile; "Brother, I see the situation here, this year's harvest is not bad, why do you die and live, what do you mean by opening your mouth?" The big man listened to me. He yelled angrily, and jumped on me like a mad dog. His wife was kicked ten feet away by her legs, wailing and lying on the ground crying.The old man hugging his waist said miserably; "Goofy, you bastard, you want to kill the whole family to be satisfied, don't you? Just cause trouble, and don't think about your two children. We are dead. They also starved to death."

"Father, we are alive. The child will starve to death in a few days. If he dies early, he will be reincarnated. I will kill this official bastard to avenge them." Regardless of his father's pleading, the man picked up the hoe in the old man's hand and threw it on my head. .I dodge and dodge.He stretched out his right hand, caught the hoe, grabbed it from his hand with a close-up approach, and threw it far away.He said sharply, "Don't hit me yet, I'll hear if I should hit me first." I thought to myself, if you want to hit me, you have to give me a reason, it's for no reason.

The old man fell to his knees again with a plop, and kept smacking his mouth; "My lord, just let him go, he is a bastard, damn it, you don't remember the villain, so let him go this time." I think that The old man swung himself round and smacked his mouth, and blood came from his nose and mouth after three slaps. He couldn't bear it, so he stopped him and said, "Old man, when you get up, I just want to ask why you can't live, why are you hungry? Die, if you tell me, not only will I not punish you, but I will also give you money and let you go home to support your two children, how about it?"

The big man tilted his head and spit, and said viciously: "Okay, if you pretend to be confused, I will tell you. It was you officials who drove us to death. You are black-hearted, lawless, and suck the marrow, you bastards. Bah, I feel disgusted when I say it." I took a breath, looked at him and said, "Go on, if what you say is reasonable, I don't want to hide and you come and hit me." The big man roared; "Okay, just say it, yes The crops this year are pretty good, and if we follow the rules of the Great Han Dynasty, the common people will have a much better life this year. However, the goddamn government insists on not letting us live—”

He said that tears suddenly rolled down his black face, sighed, squatted down with his head in his hands, stuck it into his crotch, and cried: "Bastard, the Han Dynasty was all taxed at [-] yuan, but since last year, the general Yuan Shaofei We have to pay seven out of fifteen cents, that is, we have to pay half of the fifteen cents in the land to defend the city. Last year and this year, the year was good, so few people died of starvation, but the guarantee was not enough. There was a severe drought that day. Who would the people near Jizhou Don't even think about living."

"Fifteen taxes and seven—this is too heavy, is it true or not?" I couldn't believe it, and blurted out.

"You think I'm the same as you. I'm full and have nothing to do all day. If anyone has the leisure to lie to you, everyone here knows that you can just ask."

The old man tremblingly said: "It's true, not only that, but there are many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in various pretentious names. You have to collect 'festival money' during festivals, and you have to collect 'regular money' for work. There is 'official money' for lawsuits. If you can’t pay official money or file a lawsuit, you can only be bullied by the rich. On the contrary, the rich can afford to pay. If there is a small matter, you will be sued in court. The result is very simple. Whoever pays the money , whoever wins, and whoever loses will not even think about living. In these days, the life of a human is worse than that of a cat or a dog." The old man sobbed in pain after he finished speaking.

At this time, many people had gathered in the field.Everyone heard the old man crying miserably, and felt sad for a moment. Several women cried, men cried, and children cried too. The sound of crying shook the field.

Guo Tu immediately got off his horse and rushed over with a whip, starting from the one closest to him and whipping him all the way.He cursed fiercely in his mouth: "Bastards, you can't do without beating, gather a crowd to make trouble, damn bitch, I will drag you to the yamen for punishment in a while, no one can fucking live." He gritted his teeth, His hands were ruthless, and he desperately beat the crying people.I stretched out my hand, grabbed his whip, and said sharply: "Stop, let me ask you, you are also the Master of Agriculture, do you know all these hardships of the people?" Guo Tu saw that I was anxious, and said with a sneer: "Yes, Of course I know, but the [-] taxes and [-] are the lord's intentions, I just made a suggestion."

"I made a suggestion—" I said sharply; "In this way, the holiday money, regular money, and business money are also your suggestions." Guo Tu looked at the people who fell on the ground and said coldly; " Don't be impulsive, my lord, this is not a place to talk, after you get back, Guo Tu will explain it to you." The cries of the people were pushed to a climax under Guo Tu's whip, and instead of weakening, they became more and more intense.And it's spreading like a plague, messing around, as long as it's working in this field, the people of Jizhou are almost crying.I thought to myself no, this is the easiest way to stir up civil uprisings, and it must be stopped as soon as possible.
