Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2260 Do not follow the rules, do not make sense

  『Little Ice River…』

   Fei Qianfan looked at the information, frowned and muttered.

   Judging from these materials, things that were lacking in records in history are now gradually revealed.

  Yin Mountain is the northernmost climate observation station established by Feiqian.

Every year, soldiers will go north to observe the time when the winter snow line comes, record the number of blizzards, etc., but because these soldiers are not very clear about what they are doing, they often include some daily records Among other things, this leads to the large number, complexity and triviality of these records.

  If these bamboo slips and wooden tablets were accidentally lost under the ice layer and wrapped in frozen soil, it might cause some turmoil when they are discovered in later generations?

  In this way, is it possible to bury some stone pillars and metal pillars somewhere, and then mark this place as the territory of China since ancient times? Although it may not be useful, but when you take it out, it can stop some squeaky mouths?

  Well, let’s wait until we have time to do this matter.

   What we have to face now is still Little Ice River.

This year's temperature seems to be normal, a little dry, a little hot, but it seems to be within the acceptable range, but Fei Qian always feels that this is not normal, like a little glacier about to beat someone , always stretching out the fist, of course there is no strength, now retracted, and when the next punch comes out...

   It definitely hurts more than before, than now.

  In the face of this large-scale climate problem, it is inevitable that a sense of insignificance will sprout from my heart.

  『Come on! Go and invite Mancheng! ’ Fei Qian pushed the records and materials to the side, and then ordered, ‘Also, prepare some tea! 』

  There is no doubt that if the Little Ice River strikes, the Yinshan Mountains must be... well, and Zhao Yun's side is also the first area to be attacked by the climate...

  So you must prepare in advance, the more preparation, the better.

   Li Dian came soon, and bowed his hands.

  『The reserves of Yinshan City still need to be strengthened... 』 Fei Qian pointed to the guards to serve tea, and said straight to the point, 『Come on, Mancheng, let’s see...』

  Fei Qian pushed several records over, motioning for Li Dian to check.

  Among those records, some words were specially circled by Fiqian with a red pen.

  『Two years, mid-November. Seeing Xiaoxue for the first time. Stop for three days. The snow was ankle deep. 』

  『Three years. In early November, heavy snow. It lasted for more than ten days, and men and horses could not move. 』

  『Four years. In October, there was a sudden blizzard, and the breath turned into ice, and most of the Hu people froze to death in the wild...』

  Li Dian finished reading, then raised his head, "My lord, is there a severe cold this year?" 』

  『No need for it. Fei Qian replied, "Of course you must be prepared." The number of war horses in Yinshan is the highest among all states, and the daily consumption of food and grass is also astonishing. Fortunately, the pastures here are plentiful, so there is no danger. If the weather is severe cold, the grass is yellow and dry, and the road is blocked by heavy snow, it is difficult to transfer...』

  Li Dian's hands trembled a little, probably because he imagined the scene described by Fei Qian, "My lord's words are true!" A certain must ensure that the reserves are sufficient and the warehouse is not empty! 』

   "If you want to..." Feiqian said in a deep voice, "The number of warehouses is doubled!" 』

"what? 』Li Dian thought that the original number of warehouses was enough, but he didn't expect Fei Qian to double it.

  『If the weather is normal within three to five years, it’s just a matter of spending some effort and wood... 』 Fei Qian said slowly, 『If the weather changes, these will be the foundation of life...』

  『But…』 Li Dian was a little embarrassed.

   Li Dian did not intend to shirk, nor was he unwilling to implement it, or did not believe that the severe cold that Fei Qian said was approaching, but because there were not many trees in the Yinshan Mountains, and even fewer trees suitable for storage. After all, warehouses are different from ordinary buildings, and have higher requirements, especially the wood, which must not only be large enough, but also dry enough. It is best to use wood that has been dried in the shade for more than three years, and now Yinshan is going to find these for a while. timber?

   Fei Qian smiled, as if he understood Li Dian's difficulty, pointed to the outside of the hall, "There are few trees in the Yinshan Mountain, but there are many stones!" 』

  『My lord’s intention is to open mountains and take caves? Use it as a warehouse? Li Dian understood Fei Qian's meaning almost immediately, "However, the work of opening a mountain...is quite labor intensive..."

Fei Qian waved his hand and said: "This matter...is difficult to say, but easy to say...someone has ordered Pingyang craftsmen to gather gunpowder from Beiqu to dig a mountain here...Now Mancheng is called to inquire. , if the mountain caves are used as warehouses, where is the best place...』

  If it was said that it was a small project to use gunpowder to blow up the roads and destroy the gates of the village before, it is now a big project.

   It may also be the first in the Han Dynasty.

  『Gunpowder...open mountains and mountains...』 Li Dian muttered a few words, and then he couldn't help feeling a little bit. He had seen gunpowder back then, and knew what kind of existence this kind of thing was in the hussar army, but now Fei Qian actually wanted him to be in charge of such a project, using these terrifyingly powerful things...

  For Fei Qian, the power of these gunpowder is indeed "scary".

  All gunpowder is scum in front of the big mushroom.

But Li Dian doesn't know about big mushrooms, so he thinks gunpowder is terrible, but Fei Qian actually trusts a general like him, not only willing to live in Yinshan City, but also willing to let him command such a weapon Use, even if it is only used to open mountains, is enough to prove a few things...

  Li Dian bowed to the ground, "Your subordinate will definitely die, and live up to the lord's entrustment!" 』

  Fei Qian:『…』

  …(￣ω￣=)…

   On the other side of the Han territory, there was another person who said almost the same words, "This subordinate will definitely live up to the Lord's trust!" 』

  The one who fell to the ground was Cui Yan.

  The one who stands tall is Cao Cao.

   Standing aside is Chen Qun.

  Cao Cao pulled Cui Yan up with a smile, "With Ji Gui as your assistant, you will have no worries!" 』

  When Cao Cao was talking, he was still smiling slightly, and nodded to Chen Qun who was beside him.

  Chen Qun and Cui Yan bowed again, then retreated, ready to start the work of talent selection...

  Cao Cao squinted his eyes and smiled, as if watching the two leave happily. Then slowly a smile froze on his face, and finally turned into a sigh.

  『Brother Benchu... 』Cao Cao said softly, 『I never thought about it, I still went your old way...』

  The new road is full of thorns.

  It is easier to walk the old road, after all, there have been predecessors.

  Cui Yan's bowing of his head represents that Cao Cao and the Jizhou gentry have entered a new stage.

  The stage of mutual compromise.

  Because Cao Cao promised to launch a large-scale talent recommendation and recruitment campaign in Jizhou, people in Jizhou let go of the information about rivalry with Cao Cao and began to obey Cao Cao's assignment.

  After all, the previous behavior was to negotiate conditions and get benefits. Now that Cao Cao has compromised a step, Jizhou will naturally take a step back together. It is not a good character to make progress.

   It’s like two people boxing in the ring. If they are desperately entangled, it’s not a boxing match. It’s changed to judo, so there must be a certain distance between them, and then they will draw their fists back and punch them out.

   As for now, of course it is the stage of mutual retraction. As for the bell for the next round, it has not yet sounded.

  Cao Cao needs a stable Jizhou and Yuzhou, there is no doubt about this. Under such a major premise, Cao Cao saw that he could not recover Jizhou up and down immediately for his own use, so he threw out corresponding benefits in exchange for the support of Jizhou up and down.

  Political balance, the price of mutual compromise.

   It's like drinking poison to quench your thirst.

  If the opponent was not killed in the last round, then in the next round, the two sides will fight even more fiercely.

If Cao Cao can win in Youzhou, then he will naturally be able to oppress these Jizhou gentry with his victory, just like how Yuan Shao expanded his power to the entire Jizhou and Qingzhou after eliminating Gongsun Zan. If Yuan Shao hadn't turned his eyes to Feiqian's Bingzhou by mistake at that time, but directly launched an offensive against Cao Cao's Yanzhou, it can't be said that with Cao Cao's strength at that time, there was no way to deal with it...

Because in this round, people from Jizhou have obtained a certain position, and their control over the locality will be strengthened again, and the various deficits caused by certain things before will also be erased after the new official takes office. These things will have a negative impact on Cao Cao's control in the next stage, and Cao Cao will never forget these things. The smile on the surface hides a coldness behind it.

Chen Qun and Cui Yan gave in to each other again at the gate of the General's Mansion, and then walked out hand in hand, facing the reserve officials who were preparing for the last exam in the front yard of the General's Mansion. Lang Guan.

  became an official...

   Well, I'm about to become an official.

   As long as you pass the threshold in front of you, you are an official.

   Then become an "official", what can you do?

  Of course I want to hehehe...

   Then collect more money, get more power, become a bigger official, and have more hehehe...

  Everyone has his own aspirations.

Is not it?

  Chen Qun stood on the steps, Cui Yan stood aside.

  So Cui Yan saw the look of longing in the eyes of these Jizhou children in front of him, he could not help but smile slightly, and stroked his beard.

   Cui Yan cherishes his beard very much. Although it is not as good as some people's beards, Cui Yan also takes good care of it. He not only needs to wipe it from time to time, but also uses a kit to carry it when it is critical.

   After all, this thing is just a facade. If a person is healthy, his beard will naturally be shiny, but if he is sloppy and poor, he will definitely not care about what his beard looks like.

  But when Cui Yan and Chen Qun finally unfolded the scrolls in their hands and read out the exam questions aloud, Cui Yan accidentally tore off two beards of the baby, and they were messed up in the wind...

Examinations existed in the Han Dynasty, and then carried forward in the hands of Hushi Feiqian, which affected the territory of Shandong. To a certain extent, it also made the children of Shandong not so disgusted with this method. Anyway, there are internal information. If it weren't for the fear that something would happen if there were too many standard answers, I would have even wished that I would ask someone to help me write it first.

  Anyway, generally they come up to praise the big man first, and then praise Cao Cao, and then express their ambitions, and they will definitely manage the place "well".

   But now...

  『There is a city today, but its size is unknown. There are acres of fields, but I don't know how many. There is sanghe, but the quantity is unknown. There are small officials who don't know the good and the bad. Let me ask if it is long, how should it be done? And answer. The time limit is three hours. 』

  Chen Qun's voice remained silent, and everyone looked panic-stricken.

  『Lingchang Chen! Cui Yan stared and leaned over, "What kind of topic is this?" The original title is not this! 』

  Chen Qun smiled slightly and said, "This topic is a new one for today's lord..."

  Cui Yan flicked his sleeves, "This question is ridiculous! If you don't know, how can you answer? It is reasonable to change back to the original title! 』

  Chen Qun looked at Cui Yan, his smile didn't change in any way, "Don't drive Cui, this question...my lord can answer it, so can someone, so it's possible that these people can't answer it?" 』

  Cui Yan took a long breath, stared, and wanted to explode, but there was no reason to attack.

  It's just an exam question, and it's not a matter of life or death. If it turns out like this, wouldn't the previously negotiated conditions be overturned again?

  But it would be too embarrassing to answer like this...

  Choose benefits, or choose embarrassment?

  As long as you don't feel embarrassed, then the embarrassment belongs to others.

Cui Yan's beard moved, and then a smile slowly appeared on his face. He no longer debated whether the question was reasonable or not, and turned to the students who were about to answer the question: "Everyone." ! Good answer! 』

  …щ(Дщ)…

   Not every exam is fatal, but it is definitely not just the exam that is fatal.

   It’s like sending troops this time, Zhu Zhi felt that it would kill him.

  Sun Quan's courteous treatment, generous attitude, and meticulous care and love for Zhu's family have now turned into a handful of knives, which are pressed against Zhu Zhi's back, making it difficult for him to hide.

  Now in Jiangdong, who doesn't know that Sun Quan has the best attitude towards Zhu Zhi?

  Sun Quan personally came to see Zhu's mansion, not only to give Zhu Zhi enough courtesy, but also to give gifts to everyone in Zhu's mansion, even the servants of Zhu's mansion!

  Zhu Zhi knew that these were life-saving gifts! Buy his life, buy the lives of Zhu's family!

   Those who come out for sale can always hope to meet a good buyer. But when encountering a buyer who is too talkative, the seller will always wonder whether the target price is too low, and the sale is a loss...

   It cannot be said to return those gifts again, and then go through the process again.

   Once you get the money to buy your life, you have to hand over your life.

  Own, or someone else's.

  Rules are rules. If you don’t follow the rules, no one will talk about the rules with you in the future. At that time, you will still be the one who suffers.

  So now, I still have to talk about the rules...

  Small room with four people sitting.

   Zhu, Gu, Zhang, Lu.

  『The next family has dozens of family members, three hundred stones of millet, and ten altars of good wine...If Uncle Zhu Shi needs it, he will send it immediately...』

  The one who speaks first is of course the smallest one.

  Zhu Zhi glanced at Lu Xun, is he the one short of dozens of servants and three hundred shi of grain? What's more, does this mean that if you don't go, you will go?

   And Lu Xun especially emphasized the wine...

  『Good wine? ’Zhu Zhi smiled slightly, with a bit of disdain in his smile, ‘Let’s just let my nephew drink for himself! 』

  『Thank you, Uncle Shi. Lu Xun bowed and saluted, then retreated to a corner and stopped talking.

  Zhu Zhi looked at Gu Yong, but Gu Yong still didn't speak.

   This is Gu Yong's strength and also Gu Yong's shortcoming.

  "Brother Zhang..." Zhu Zhi turned to look at Zhang Yun, "This matter..."

  『Cough cough...cough cough...』Zhang Yun coughed twice, 『Ah, I am old, time is not forgiving, if this body is good, I will definitely accompany Brother Zhu for a walk! 』

  Zhu Zhi frowned slightly.

  Just when Zhu Zhi felt a little uncomfortable, Gu Yong spoke. "Brother Zhu, what Brother Zhang means is very beautiful..."

"Ok? Zhu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Yun, and after a while, suddenly smiled, "It's really good, it's good!" Brother Zhang give more pointers! 』

  Zhang Yun waved his hand, "We are all in the same spirit...Brother Zhu, you are welcome..."

  『That’s it, so-and-so is ordered to go out! ’Zhu Zhi laughed, and arched his hands, ‘I would like to ask the three of you to take care of this house chores…’

  『It should be as it should be, brother Zhu can rest assured. Zhang Yun nodded and said, Gu Yong and Lu Xun also agreed.

  The discussion has been made, and the three of them did not wait any longer, so they left one after another.

  Zhu Zhi sent the three of them away with a smile, and when he turned back, all the sunny faces on his face turned into cold.

  『Same Qi Lianzhi! This is the same spirit! ’Zhu Zhi patted the table, gritted his teeth, ‘What a “same spirit”! 』

  『Father...』 Zhu Ran, who came out from the backyard, waved the surrounding servants to retreat, and then stepped forward and said, 『Father, please calm down...』

  Zhu Zhi was still angry, pointing out of the hall, "You heard it too, what are they all about?" ah? That brat from the Lu family, just talk about wine when he comes up! I'm afraid I forgot the ten-year agreement! Damn stuff! 』

  『Then that Zhu Zi surnamed Zhang pretended to be sick again! What's even more exasperating is that the surname Gu wants me to pretend to be sick! ”Zhu Zhi patted the table, “A certain Zhu family! Could it be that he has become a shrinking turtle, a person who pretends to be ill and avoids trouble? ! Then when a certain person said that he was going to fight, everyone was smiling, and there was nothing wrong with it! This is the same Qi Lianzhi! I'm so embarrassed to say something in the same breath! Really angry! 』

  Zhu Ran frowned, "But...my lord, in the previous battle of Changsha, many of the family's best players were lost, and now it's going out again..."

  Zhu Zhi also heaved a long sigh when he heard the words, somewhat helpless, "Now Zhou Gongjin and Zhang Zibu have agreed to fight, if someone avoids him, how can he convince the public in the future?" The matter has come to this point, and there is no way to avoid it... But in this war, it may not always be possible. There is an old saying... you will be outside... Haha, haha! 』
