Tai Shici's heartfelt words made Cai Ji feel deeply. No, treat people with sincerity, so that people can treat each other with sincerity. The longer a woman disguises herself as a man, the deeper she deceives the soldiers. It's just that how to open this mouth is always a matter of brains for Cai Ji. It is important to know that Cai Ji realized a long time ago that the disclosure of his identity was inevitable. However, as Donglai's stall is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more forces are involved, she is now more and more afraid to think about revealing her identity. Putting aside all kinds of external factors, Cai Ji still can't cross the hurdle in his heart in the end. I am afraid that once I pierce the layer of window paper, I will lose the painstaking operation overnight. But she also knew in her heart that if this layer of window paper was uncovered by others, the consequences would be even worse.

In short, Cai Ji did not have the heart to continue to stay in the camp to watch the soldiers practice. So after saying hello to Tai Shici and others, Cai Ji got on an ox cart and went back to the city. It was close to the end of the lunar month, and Huang County had not suffered any military disasters in the past year, except for the siege of Cao's army in February. Therefore, the entire Huangxian city is now filled with a peaceful atmosphere of national peace and security. As if the chaotic wars and successive natural disasters in the outside world have nothing to do with Huang County, every household in the city is busy preparing for the coming end of the year. However, Cai Ji, who was sitting in the car full of worries, turned a deaf ear to the strong festive atmosphere outside. It wasn't until the ox cart stopped at the gate of the Taishou Mansion that she got out of the car and looked at the servants who were building the altar in the yamen, and then she remembered that it would be the winter solstice in two days.

In the Han Dynasty, the winter solstice and the summer solstice were the two official holidays. Among them, the winter solstice is particularly important, so it is also called the winter festival. The people of the Han Dynasty believed that the winter solstice was the natural transformation of yin and yang, and it was a blessing from God. Therefore, it is stipulated that "before and after the winter solstice, the gentleman will be quiet, the officials will never do anything, do not listen to the government, and choose the auspicious day and then save trouble." "Usually before that, the government will hold a grand "winter greeting" ceremony to welcome the arrival of the winter solstice. And on the day of the winter solstice, the whole country will have a three-day holiday. In these three days, the king did not listen to the government, the officials did not go to court, the army was on standby, the border was closed, and the business and travel were suspended, and everyone happily lived a festival of "peace and quietness".

As for the winter ceremony of the Han Dynasty, according to the content reported by Huang Zhen, it is roughly divided into two parts: the Da Da exorcism ceremony and the official banquet. The so-called "Wu" is a totem handed down in ancient times, which is used to drive away the wax moon. When the exorcism ceremony is held, 120 eleven- and twelve-year-old boys will be selected, and under the leadership of the "Fang Xiang clan", they will call for ghosts, and finally throw the captured "ghosts" into the water and drown. Of course, the ceremony of the Han Dynasty court was much grander than this, not only the emperor and hundreds of officials would be present, but even the Yulin army would be dispatched to participate in the ceremony. And the Fang Xiang clan directly under Sima of the palace royal family, the highest official rank can be a doctor. When casting the spell, Fang Xiang's clan will wear bear skin, a mask on his head, four eyes made of gold, a dark coat on the top, and a vermilion shirt on the bottom, and lead the subordinates to expel the plague ghosts and spirits.

Cai Jibu did not have such a gorgeous outfit for the Fang Xiang clan invited by the county government, but she was still very interested in the ancient ritual of exorcism. The ritual of exorcising evil spirits has become extinct in later generations in China, and can only be glimpsed from the records of historical documents and the stone carvings of ancient tombs. Of course, this ritual was introduced to Japan from China around the time of the Nara period in Japan, and was renamed "Saisu-shi" and was performed by Shinto shrines. Until the 21st century, Japan held a memorial ceremony every year on Chinese New Year's Eve and the beginning of spring. It's just that the south orange and the north orange are not the original flavor after all.

After the daytime ceremony was held, the county government naturally had to hold a banquet in the evening to reward all the colleagues who had worked hard for the past year. And after eating and drinking, the next day, as soon as the people began to enlarge the vacation. Even if you are in troubled times now, this rule is still untouchable. In this regard, Cai Ji was very curious in his heart, could it be that the princes of the whole country had collectively truce in the past three days. If this is the case, it will have the flavor of the "Christmas truce" of World War I in later generations.

And just when Cai Ji secretly sighed in his heart, if it weren't for the chaos in the world, how leisurely the pace of life of the Han Dynasty would be, Lily of the Valley hurriedly ran forward to report to her, "The lord can be regarded as a lord." Guan Juncheng has been waiting in the side hall for a long time. ”

Looking for the system? Cai Ji couldn't help but pause when he heard what Lily of the Valley said. It must be known that since Cai Ji proposed to improve the method of bookkeeping in the official office, the management has been using this matter to fight with Huang Zhen and the others in the past few months. So much so that Duan Rong brought Zhen Yao and others to Huangxian County to discuss the investment in Longkou Commercial Port, but the management did not ask. Even if the Longkou Commercial Port has started construction at this moment, he did not say it. Although Cai Ji is happy, his ears are pure, and he can concentrate on his business. However, if Guan Tong and the others were too quiet, she was a little uneasy. After all, the management has always been determined to be in charge of the military and political power in Donglai. But now that he has done so many things in Donglai, he seems to have never happened, which is somewhat abnormal. Therefore, although the sudden visit of Guan Tong at this moment made Cai Ji somewhat surprised, at the same time, she also breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart. Because that's like the consistent style of management.

So, Cai Ji walked to the side hall, and when he looked up, he saw Guan Tong in a dark kudzu robe sitting in front of the brazier. However, looking at his calm appearance, he didn't seem to be angry because of the long wait. Looks like he's not in the mood. Thinking of this, Cai Ji entered the house with a smile on his face and said to Guan Tong that he didn't know that Guan Juncheng was coming to visit, so that Jun had waited for a long time. ”

"The prince of the house is polite. Today, he came uninvited, and he bothered the prince. Guan Tong turned around and returned the salute to Cai Ji politely.

I'm really not in the mood. It was rare to see Cai Ji, who was so polite to Guan Tong, while being surprised by the other party's humble attitude, he took the opportunity to sit down and asked, "I don't know what Guan Juncheng is looking for this mansion today?" ”

Guan Tong didn't know that Cai Ji was watching his every move with the mood of looking at a diorama. But seeing this moment, he excitedly hugged his fist and arched his hand to Cai Ji, "Don't hide it from the king, I will report the good news to you." ”

"Annunciation?" Cai Ji, who didn't expect the other party to answer like this, asked suspiciously, "What a joy?" ”

And Guan Tong arched his hand to the sky triumphantly, "The prince of the palace doesn't know." At the beginning of the year, he recommended the prince Ru to the imperial court as the Taishou of Donglai. And today, Zi has issued an order to crown Ben Chugong as the right general, and at the same time officially appointed Xiao Cai Mansion Junru as the Taishou of Donglai. ”

Guan Tong's words made Cai Ji stunned on the spot. It must be known that she was loyal to Yuan Shao at the beginning, just to seek refuge in a big force. I didn't think that Yuan Shaohui would write to the imperial court to recommend him as a taishou. I didn't expect the imperial court to recognize the identity of Taishou so lightly. It must be known that Cai Ji has been working hard to run Donglai before, in addition to wanting to enhance the strength of Donglai County, but also to accumulate enough prestige so that the Han Court can recognize this girl Taishou in the future. It's just that who would have thought that Cai Ji was still worrying about how to correct his name one moment ago, and the appointment of the imperial court would fall from the sky so easily the next moment. After a while, Cai Ji, who still felt that this matter was a little untrue, couldn't help but stammered a little and asked, "Guan Juncheng, you ...... You are saying that the court has recognized me as a guard. Could this be a mistake? ”

Xiao Cai Fujun rest assured that this matter is already an ironclad matter. At present, the envoy of the imperial court has arrived in Yecheng. And the envoys of Yecheng will also bring the appointment of the imperial court to Huangxian after the New Year. Guan Tong said that he once again bowed his hand to Cai Ji, "Tong is here to say hello to the prince of the mansion first." ”

Facing the continuous congratulations of the management commander, Cai Ji, who was slightly excited in his heart, humbly returned the salute, "There, Ji Neng can take on this great responsibility, and it all depends on the cultivation of the original prince." ”

After Guan Tong saw that Cai Ji won the office, the first person to thank was not the imperial court but Yuan Shao, and he couldn't help but secretly praise this girl in his heart for being really well-behaved. It seems that this time it is really an eagle dog who has found no choice for the lord. Thinking of this, even if he smiled at Cai Ji and said to Fu Jun, rest assured, as long as you do a good job for the original prince, the original prince will naturally not treat you badly. Speaking of which, the last time the prince of the palace promised to pay tribute to the original prince a batch of grain and grass. I wonder if this batch of grain and grass can be properly purchased before the Yecheng envoy arrives in Huang County? ”

Cai Ji listened to Guan Tong's question, and then he understood that the reason why Yuan Shao was so active in recommending to the imperial court was for the promised batch of grain and grass. But when she thought about it, she was right, and if this world was today, it might be an enemy. There is no benefit, and others will help you for nothing. Even if Yuan Shao recommended Cao Cao to be the Taishou of Dongjun at the beginning, it was not because Cao Cao could contain Yuan Shu for him.

And Guan Tong looked at Cai Ji with a look of bowing her head and thinking, and thought that she couldn't take out enough grain and grass to pay tribute. After all, Donglai's harvest this year is not good. Guan Tong also saw that Duan Rong had sold a lot of grain back from Sanhan, so he wanted Cai Ji to prepare the tribute as much as possible. Besides, Yecheng has fulfilled its promise, and if Donglai does not reciprocate, it will inevitably make people gossip. asked the imperial court to send an envoy to Yecheng to issue an edict, which was also to ask for food from Benchugong. Therefore, after the Yecheng envoy arrived in Huang County, even if he only offered a small part of grain and grass first, it was better than not giving it. So Guan Tong immediately coughed lightly, and took a step back, if the prince felt that he couldn't get together a large amount of grain and grass. You can also ask the envoy to bring a small part of the grain and grass back to Yecheng first. As for the remainder, it can be made up at a later date. ”

"Guan Juncheng rest assured. Before the arrival of the Yecheng envoy, the government will definitely prepare enough food and grass to serve. Cai Ji, who came back to his senses, hurriedly leaned over and kowtowed.

Guan Tong saw that Cai Ji should pay tribute, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief in his heart. Because the girl in front of him either doesn't agree, and once he makes a promise, he will never break his promise. At the same time, he was also interested in Cai Ji's cheerful attitude. Thinking of the previous incident when Duan Rong took the rich man to Longkou Water Village to meet with Cai Ji, and then contacted the construction scene in Longkou Port in the past few days, Guan Tong couldn't help but test Cai Ji and said, "With the words of Fujun, the unification will be relieved." It seems that the prince has found the god of wealth this time. ”

Cai Ji'er heard Guan Tong mention the word "God of Wealth", and thought to himself that it was not that this guy didn't care about the construction of Longkou Commercial Port, but that he was looking at paving the road and building a bridge here, so that he could sit behind and enjoy the success. However, since he needs the protection of Yuan Shao's forces, it is a matter of course to pay the protection fee. It would not be a good thing if the ruler only needed money and food in the future, but only asked about the specific operation. Therefore, Cai Ji immediately said humbly, "Guan Jun has accepted the award." Ji just worked with a few wealthy businessmen to develop Longkou Port. ”

"You can't say that. The Zhen family in Zhongshan is a wealthy man in the north. I really didn't expect Duan Rong to be such a character on weekdays. Guan Tong twisted his beard and said slightly sourly. To be in charge, it is not only from Jizhou, but also Yuan Shao's subordinates. But Zhen Yao didn't say hello to the management at all when he came to Huang County. This made Guan Tong feel quite uncomfortable, but he couldn't blame Zhen Yao, after all, the status of the Zhen family was there, and it was not something that a petty official like him could shake. Therefore, the management simply pretended not to know about it, so as to avoid the embarrassment of being left out in the cold.

Cai Ji listened to Guan Tong's yin and yang weird tone, and thought to himself, you don't have to be angry with me to catch a big fish here. It won't be long before the Zhongshan Zhen family will be in-laws with Yuan Shao. And Zhen Yao's Luo Shen sister will also distribute the food looted by the Zhen family to the hungry people for free. Since the Zhen family's money and food will be given away sooner or later, it is better to fund the old lady first, develop China's offshore shipping industry, and by the way, pour some cheap food to help more people.

Thinking of this, Cai Ji immediately pretended to be stupid and said, Oh? Is the Zhen family so powerful? ”

"Although the Zhen family is not a famous family, it is also one of the richest in the north, not much worse than the Mi family in Xuzhou." The management commented truthfully.

"And so and so on. This government will not worry about not being able to raise food and grass. Cai Ji clapped his hands half-truthfully.

Hearing Cai Ji sigh like this, Guan Tong thought to himself, yes. As long as you can get food and grass, why care about the other party's attitude. So he hurriedly said to Cai Jiti, "Fujun, like the Zhongshan Zhen family, we have to make friends." In this way, in the future, these super-rich lords can be used. ”

Cai Ji saw that Guan Tong had unconsciously called Yuan Shao the lord in front of him, and knew that this person had already become Yuan Shao's new retainer. Such a change in mentality made Cai Ji suddenly have a new idea in the lightning. saw that she immediately responded to the title of the commander, "As long as you can help the lord complete the hegemony, Ji Zidang will go all out." However, Ji has a reluctant request, and I don't know if the main guild will agree. ”

Guan Tong heard that Cai Ji had the conditions to mention, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

And Cai Ji bowed slightly, and asked in a deep voice at Guan Tong, "Now that the imperial court has recognized Ji as the Taishou of Donglai, I wonder if Ji can be shown as a female Taishou?" ”
