"In a blink of an eye, seven or eight years have passed,......" Cao Cao raised his head and said, as if he was very emotional, "I remember that my virtuous brother made a grand wish on the bank of Luoshui, willing to ask for his life for the living beings in the world and open up ......the territory for the Han Society."

Liu Bei arched his hand again and again and said: "The young man is reckless, he doesn't know the height of the sky, he laughs, he laughs......

Cao Cao laughed, his back molars were exposed, and said, "Hahahaha...... Who doesn't have a juvenile recklessness? Isn't it the same back then, looking at the peace of the world, looking at the peace of the country, looking at the security of the people, having to seal a county guard, and a general will fulfill his life wish! ”

Liu Bei was still laughing with him, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to suddenly lead him to the canopy car......

This, how many does it mean?

Liu Bei was shocked.

Just as he was about to struggle, Cao Cao let go of his hand and said with a smile: "What? In the past, Xuande, who fought the Yellow Turban, reversed the town, rushed to kill the military formation, and his face did not change, but now even a small vehicle is scared? ”

"Uh......" Liu Bei smiled embarrassedly, "This is Cao Gong's car, how can I ......?"

Cao Cao laughed, patted Liu Bei's shoulder, and then got into the car first, beckoned and said, "You and I are like siblings, and we have the friendship of the past, so what's the harm in taking the same car...... Come, Xuande, I'll take you somewhere ......"

"This ......," Liu Bei had to give up his hand and say, "In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”

Liu Bei turned his head and ordered Guan Yu a few words, and then he got on the seat of Cao Cao's car, sat in a corner of the car, and turned slightly sideways to show respect.

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Guan Yu, who was still standing at the door to see him off, and praised: "What a man!" Xuande's subordinates are really full of talents! ”

"Returning to Sikong, if there is no cloud to protect each other, prepare for a few deaths in the battle......" Liu Bei also had some feelings, and said half-truthfully, "Yun Chang and so, although they are up and down, they are actually ......brothers."

"Oh?" Cao Cao glanced at Liu Bei, nodded, and said no more.

The convoy crossed the long street and then passed the palace complex under construction.

The imperial city now has only one inner city wall, and the main hall, as for the other halls, they are still under construction, and there are soldiers standing around, craftsmen commanding the people in them, and the sound of labor trumpets is everywhere.

Such a noisy environment naturally Liu Xie could not live in on weekdays, so except for the usual court meeting on the fifteenth day of the new year, Liu Xie temporarily lived in the Xun family's courtyard......

Therefore, the palace is basically of no defensive value now, and Cao Cao led the group straight into the imperial city, heading north along the main road.

"Here...... If you want to build a council hall, what is the name of the palace, Your Majesty means to use the word Pyeongchang......" Cao Cao said while gesturing, "In addition to this, the main hall still needs to be enlarged, and the apse is heightened...... There are also drum towers, bell towers, corner towers, etc...... The harem dormitory also needs to be rebuilt...... It is estimated that it will take at least five years......"

"In the past, Yuan Gong and a certain were eunuchs and thieves, although it was for the sake of the country's society, but it was also a bad ......palace," Cao Cao sighed, "...... At that time, the situation was critical, and there was no room for much concern, if the ten permanent servants were not killed, the Han Dynasty would definitely be unable to save it...... However, because of this, there are many damage in the palace...... Alas, now that it is convenient to rebuild the palace, it can be regarded as a credit for the crime......"

Cao Cao turned his gaze to Liu Bei, then to the other side, and said, "...... I don't know if Xuande thinks so? ”

Liu Bei's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said: "Sikong has a lot of credit for the society, so how can he be blamed?" Your Majesty would be glad to know that Sikong was so loyal. ”

Cao Cao was noncommittal, paused for a moment, and suddenly said slowly: "The palace project is huge, and now there is no one in charge...... I don't know if Xuande is willing to take on this heavy responsibility and share his majesty's worries? ”

Liu Bei: ∑ (っ°Д°; )っ

“…… Everything is difficult to build, but ......it is easy to destroy" Cao Cao You looked at the busy construction site on the side in the distance, and seemed to be completely unaware of the change in Liu Bei's face, and continued, "Well, how? If Xuande is willing, he will promote Xuande to the post of minister! ”

The original name of the minister was the minister. In the sixth year of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty (144 years ago), he changed his name to become a minister. The subordinate officials have Shiku, East Garden, Main Chapter and the left, right, front and rear lieutenant colonels Seven Lingcheng. He is in charge of palace rooms, temples, mausoleums and other civil construction.

Shaofu can be said to be very powerful in the Han Dynasty, and it is also a place with great financial power. The Shaofu is a functional institution that manages the private wealth and daily affairs of the royal family. It was founded in the Warring States period and followed by the Qin and Han dynasties.

The Shaofu is mainly responsible for two aspects: one is responsible for collecting taxes on mountains and seas and ponds and collecting local contributions for the use of the court; Second, it is responsible for the supply and service of all the needs of the court, such as food, clothing, daily life, and safari play. The Shaofu has a huge organization, many subordinate officials, and people who are not noble are not allowed to serve, and most of them are clan relatives and royal families, so it is suitable for Liu Bei.

Some of the taxes paid in the world are to be handed over to the Shaofu, including but not limited to the gardens and ponds in the Shaofu, the fake taxes after the holiday in the mountains and wilderness, the business tax, the checkpoint tax in various places, and the 20 yuan paid by children aged 7-14......

It can be said that as long as Liu Bei nods, he can basically be sure that he will have a large amount of money and coins in his hands!

Liu Bei is poor!

When I was young, I was poor and could only make a living by selling mats, although I also served as an official when I grew up, but I didn't save any money over the years, and I invested a little bit in the bottomless pit monster of the army, and there was really no floating wealth around me, not to mention Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, even Mrs. Zhen, who was originally dressed in brocade clothes and jade food, now has to start learning to raise silkworms and cook silk, embroider female red to subsidize some household ......

There is nothing wrong with the elk elk family being very rich, but at that time, Liu Bei fled from Xuzhou in a hurry, how much could he bring with him? A lot of real estate is almost instantly depreciated to nothing.

Now it's just a nod to ......

Liu Bei swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei quietly, waiting for his answer.

The noisy sound of trumpets came from all directions, piercing Liu Bei's eardrums as if they were buzzing.

"Cao Gong...... Cao Gong ...... kindly" Liu Bei said with difficulty, like a handful of sand poured into his throat, "Beixin took it...... However, Bei is a rough person, although he has read the scriptures for a few days, but he does not know arithmetic, and he does not know the project, I am afraid that Cao Gong is a big thing, and he really can't take on this heavy responsibility......"

"Oh......" Cao Cao nodded lightly, his face not sad or happy.

"Tuk-tuk." Cao Cao did not continue to persuade, but turned his head and tapped lightly on the railing of the vehicle twice, and Xia Houen in front of him understood, so he moved forward again.

The vehicle rolls forward, the wheels roll.

Because the entire palace is under construction, there are inevitably some broken stones and wooden blocks on the road, and the wheels have no spring rubber shock absorption.

Liu Bei turned sideways, but he didn't dare to hold on to the railing of the car like Cao Cao, and the vehicle shook and almost fell. Cao Cao quickly pulled Liu Bei with his eyes, and motioned Liu Bei to sit firmly: "The road is bumpy, if you don't sit firmly, you will inevitably fall......"

Cao Cao sat in the car, holding the railing of the car with one hand, smiling, I don't know why, looking at Cao Cao's smile, Liu Bei's heart was somewhat flustered.

After a moment, as the carriage continued to move forward, Cao Cao opened his mouth.

Liu Yuzhou...... At the beginning, you and I swam the Luo River together and drank in the boat, but now I think about it, especially as if I was in the past...... Now that the Han Dynasty is in turmoil, it is really an eventful time...... I also hope that Liu Yuzhou will be loyal to the country and help each other......"

Liu Bei replied respectfully: "Naturally, this ...... Now that His Majesty is smart and sage, and with the assistance of Cao Gong, it must only take some time, and the Han will naturally be able to ......"

"Now the Han Dynasty is still in ......constant disputes," Cao Cao waved his hand, interrupting Liu Bei's words, "In today's world, there are many wolf ambitions, and there are many violators of yang and yin. Does Xuande think so? ”

"Yes...... Be...... What Cao Gong said was very ......" Liu Bei's eyes were gurgling, and the hair on both temples was stuck with sweat.

"Now that Your Majesty is young, you can give the younger ones a chance!" Cao Cao was sonorous and powerful, and his face was as cold as ice, "Your Majesty is kind and kind, and you have a benevolent heart, but our courtiers can't do deceitful things because of Your Majesty's kindness, and have two hearts!" If there are such people, we should be reprimanded! Liu Yuzhou, do you understand? ”

"Yes, yes! Understood, understood......" Liu Bei nodded.

Cao Cao smiled, the ice on his face disappeared in a blink of an eye, as if the thunder just now didn't exist, and he nodded very kindly and said, "It's good to understand...... If everyone in the world can be like Xuande, the world will be peaceful......"

Liu Bei didn't dare to talk easily, but felt that the clothes on his back were sticky to his body.

As he spoke, the slightly bumpy vehicle had gradually stopped.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "It's here." Then he didn't pull Liu Bei as cordially as he did when he got into the car before, but got out of the car first.

Liu Bei followed behind Cao Cao, also got out of the car, looked up, but only saw a row of low houses and walls blocking in front of him, extending from the front to the corner of the street, there were no pedestrians in the surrounding streets, let alone shops, it seemed to be a long alley between the two walls, a few trees shivering in the cold wind, and the branches were one or two points of green.

What is this?

Liu Bei looked around blankly, not knowing why.

Cao Cao walked under the wall, in front of a courtyard gate that was not very conspicuous, tilted his head, as if he was looking at the sky, and seemed to be just looking at the top of the courtyard gate, "Liu Yuzhou, can you hear something?" ”

"What?" Liu Bei listened attentively.

The wind blew by, perhaps because of the topography, from the entrance of the street to the end of the street, rolling up some branches and leaves on the stone slabs, blowing the clusters of weeds above the walled low houses, and the fluttering flags in Cao Cao's guard of honor, except for that, there was no other special sound.

As if sensing Liu Bei's doubts, Cao Cao motioned to the guards on the side to open the courtyard door.

"Liu Yuzhou, what you said in the car before, do you remember?"

Liu Bei arched his hand and said, "Back to Sikong, remember." ”

"Good." Cao Cao took the lead and walked forward.

Liu Bei looked at both sides, speculating whether there would be hundreds of sword and axe hands from under the walls on both sides, or from the low houses, and then thought that Cao Cao really wanted to kill him, and it would not be when the imperial court had just been canonized, so his heart was somewhat calm, and he followed Cao Cao's footsteps forward.

Directly facing the courtyard is a photo wall.

Cover your view tightly.

The bottom is a blue brick, from the height of the knee, it is a white piece, there is no inscription, and there is no special pattern, but it has been a long time, and the chalk of the wall is a little yellow and black.

Cao Cao bypassed the Zhaobi.

Liu Bei also walked around, raised his eyes and saw that the scenery was unfolding in front of him, but Liu Bei's whole body stiffened, like thousands of ants crawling over his body, and as if he was blown by the oncoming wind when he suddenly turned over the mountain col......

It used to be a huge school yard, and the entrance was a side entrance to the school yard.

There are countless flags, tied along the edge around the school grounds, and because they are blocked by a fence, they are not visible from the outside. In the center of the school field stood a dense crowd of soldiers, estimated at least two thousand people, one by one holding a sword, looking ahead, as if in practice, for the arrival of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, he didn't even look at it, but just focused his eyes on the point platform at the front of the school field.

On the platform, a general stood motionless with a flag of command.

The soldiers in the audience were also motionless.

The order is forbidden, and the golden drum is clear!

Liu Bei looked at the generals on the platform, and then looked at the soldiers in the school field, and saw many familiar faces, and his heart couldn't help but move......

"Liu Yuzhou, are you willing to lead the army?"

Before Liu Bei could come up with anything, he only heard Cao Cao's leisurely voice floating from one side, and the tone seemed to contain a lot of information......

"This ......" Liu Bei didn't know how to respond, said yes, he didn't think it was good, he said he didn't want to, and he didn't think it was very suitable, and he held back the beads of sweat on his head for a while.

"I know that the defeat of Xuzhou is not beyond Liu Yuzhou's strength, but because the soldiers of Xuzhou have not fought and do not practice their armor...... Cao Cao pointed to the soldiers in front of him and said, "If Liu Yuzhou wants to fight Xuzhou again and break the army of Yuan's highway, a certain will grant the soldiers here to die to the envoy to help Liu Yuzhou, how about it?" ”

Liu Bei's eyes changed, and finally bowed in front of Cao Cao, "I am willing to share my worries for Cao Gong!" Break the army of Yuan thieves in Xuzhou! ”

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, helped Liu Bei up, patted Liu Bei's arm, and didn't say anything more, then turned around and left.

Liu Bei stood on one side, looking up at the generals on the platform, but saw that the generals on the stage were also looking at him indifferently, and the eyes of the two people collided in the air......

After a while, the generals on the stage retracted their gaze, shouted, and put away the command flag, and suddenly the huge drums in the school field rumbled, and the soldiers shouted loudly and began to gather towards the center.

Suddenly, the yellow dust of the school field was flying, and the sound of hurried footsteps resounded over the entire school field, accompanied by the cold wind of early spring, fluttering in all directions......
