Chapter 121: Getting What You Want
After Liu Neng went back, he informed everyone in Qianlong Village, and also sent someone to inform Yin Zhuo and Tian Feng, telling them that the Daoxian Ya would attend the dinner party before the end of the evening. Zhao Yun naturally had Gude send someone to inform him, because of Zeng Yu's order, except for those who had passed through him or Gude's permission, others were forbidden to enter and leave the cavalry camp in Lingyunzhuang, which was a trump card specially prepared by him.
Before the time had passed, everyone arrived at the county office, and Zeng Yu arranged for someone to lead them to the courtyard behind the county office, where the dinner would be held. Zhao Yun came with Gude, because they rushed back from Lingyunzhuang outside the county seat, so they were the last to arrive.
Zeng Yu saw that Zhao Yun was back, he stood up and walked in front of them, and asked Zhao Yun: "Zilong, today is your first day of entering the cavalry battalion, how do you feel?" ”
"It feels very good, and Commander Yang Xun also takes good care of me, and tells the last general about his experience in training cavalry without reservation." Zhao Yun was very respectful of Zeng Yu, and when he saw Zeng Yu deliberately coming over to ask himself, he respectfully hugged his fists and replied.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to the day when you lead the army to attack, Zilong." Zeng Yu said happily.
"Yunding lives up to the trust of the lord!"
"Okay, I believe Zilong. Today is a reception banquet specially prepared for you and Yuan Hao, Yuan Hao has already come, just waiting for you, the protagonist, let's take the seat! Zeng Yu pulled Zhao Yun forward.
"Brother, look, this is a gift that my lord's brother bought for me, isn't it very beautiful." Zhao Yu also saw his brother who was being pulled by Zeng Yu, walked over from the side, and showed off to Zhao Yun happily.
Zhao Yun looked at his sister-in-law and saw that she had a string of very delicate charms hanging on her body, which was obviously expensive, so he hurriedly said: "Of course it's beautiful, but have you thanked the lord?" ”
"People have long thanked the lord and brother, and the lord and brother are good to me, and specially took me to the county seat to eat delicious food, and when will you take a break, I will also take you to eat." Zhao Yu said mischievously.
"Haha, it seems that we are not afraid of Xiaoyu and Zilong." Zeng Yu said with a laugh.
"Hahaha!" The others also laughed, and they all liked Zhao Yu, a fourteen-year-old girl.
"I'm not playing with you anymore!" Everyone's laughter made Zhao Yu embarrassed, and after saying a word, he ran to the side to eat, and he didn't know if he was really shy or found an excuse to eat.
"Let's all sit down." Zeng Yu said, and then motioned to his subordinates to start serving wine and food.
The wine and food are very rich, and they are all made by Zeng Yu and asked the chefs of various restaurants in the county to make them. Speaking of this, because of the development of Anping County in the past few months, it has attracted a lot of foreign merchants, and then attracted a lot of foreign merchants to open restaurants here, so there are more choices of dishes, Zeng Yu simply invited the chefs of the most famous restaurants to come over and let them be in charge of today's wine and dishes.
"Let's all raise a glass together and welcome Yuan Hao and Zilong to join us, bring a peaceful and prosperous life to all the people, and create a more prosperous and powerful Zhuxia." is not only the host of the banquet, but also the lord of everyone, Zeng Yu stood up and raised the first glass of wine and saluted everyone.
"Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses, including Yin Zhuo, he knew that Tian Feng and Zhao Yun were loyal to Zeng Yu and took him as the main father, as for the others, they were originally based on Zeng Yu. But this time, Zeng Yu held a dinner party and called him over, and he knew that this was also a hint and expectation of Zeng Yu.
Yin Zhuo also knew that after serving as the chief secretary of Anping County for so long, it was time for him to make a decision. After drinking the wine in the cup in one gulp, Zeng Yu stood up from his seat and bowed to Zeng Yu: "My subordinates are valued by my superiors, and I have been able to serve as the head of a county from a cloth cloth, and my lords are not unkind to my subordinates." After the subordinates took charge of the book, the adults granted all the authority to the subordinates, and it was not distrustful of the subordinates. Zhuo is willing to swear allegiance to the lord and serve the work of dogs and horses, in order to repay the kindness of the lord and the public. ”
Zeng Yu has always had expectations for Yin Zhuo, and this time it is indeed a hint from him, and now that he heard the long-awaited statement, he stood up, received a bow from Yin Zhuo, and said to him: "It is the luck of my three lives to be able to serve Yaozu!" ”
"Subordinates congratulate the lord, congratulate the yin lord!" Everyone was led by Liu Neng, and they raised their wine glasses one after another to congratulate Zeng Yu and Yin Zhuo.
Zeng Yu turned out the wine glass handed over by his subordinates, gave Yin Zhuo a glass with his own hands, and then said: "Okay, such a beautiful day, and there is a happy event coming to the door, when it is a big white!" ”
"When the float is white, do it!" Everyone drank it and cleaned it up, including Zeng Yu and Yin Zhuo.
"Yuan Hao, Yin Master Book is a descendant of Guanzi, proficient in "Guanzi", and his family also has the manuscripts and annotations written by Guanzi back then, the lord attaches great importance to it, and now the prosperous business of Anping County is from his and the lord's hands. The lord and he formulated policies that were conducive to business, and the specific implementation was also the responsibility of the Yin master bookkeeper. Liu Neng sat next to Tian Feng, and he was worried that Tian Feng would have thoughts about it, so he explained it to him.
"It turned out to be a descendant of the pipe, which is really disrespectful. There is a cloud in the "Analects": "Micro Tube Zhong, I was sent to the left", Guan Zi is one of the sages of my Zhuxia, and the main book is the descendant of Guan Zi, so I should pay tribute to him. Tian Feng was also taken aback when he knew the origin of Yin Zhuo, Guy had not heard that Guan Zi had descendants before, but since Zeng Yu recognized it, it should be right.
After speaking, Tian Feng got up and walked to Yin Zhuo with a wine glass, and said to him: "I never thought that I could see the descendants of Guanzi here, in the past, 'Guan Zhong was used, he was in charge of Qi, Qi Huan was a hegemon, the princes of Jiuhe, and the world was a Kuang world'.
"Mr. Xie Yuanhao!"
Of course, Yin Zhuo would not refuse Tian Feng's kindness, so he naturally raised his wine glass and touched Tian Feng, and then drank it clean.
The next thing in the wine banquet was naturally all happy, and the people of Qianlong Village led by Liu Neng, Gu De and Xie Jing showed great kindness to the three newly joined Tian Feng, and toasted to them one after another. Except for Zhao Yun, who had been practicing martial arts for a long time and was still sober because of his high alcohol consumption, Tian Feng and Yin Zhuo were already lying on the table.
Zeng Yu was very happy about this, although after Shen did not harm, the Legalists put forward the statement of the magic style, all the superiors pay attention to the power of the arts, and do not want all their subordinates to report together, which will have an impact on their own royal majesty. But for Zeng Yu's current small group, their strength is still very weak, and if there is still a fight, it will cause the dispersion of forces, and the gains outweigh the losses.
The banquet lasted until the end of the day, and many people were sent back by Zeng Yu, and they all drank to a slight tip, but the alcohol at this time was brewed from pure grain, and it would not affect everyone's work the next day.
For example, Zhao Yun, who rested for one night in the county government's mansion, went to the cavalry camp in Lingyunzhuang early the next morning. Zhao Yu originally wanted to go to the barracks with her, saying that she had never entered the barracks, but she was sternly rejected by Zhao Yun, and she had no way to do it, she had begged Zeng Yu before, but Zeng Yu rejected her on the grounds that she was a girl and should stay away from the war, and it was the only thing Zeng Yu had rejected her at present.
In the next time, for the people of the county government, whether it was a group from Qianlong Village, or Tian Feng or Yin Zhuo, etc., they were all busy. Tian Feng is now the host of the expansion of the county seat, leading a group of officials to haunt the county government and construction sites every day, this is a task for him to worship under Zeng Yu, so he naturally wants to give him a satisfactory answer and give others an explanation.
This time, their expansion of the county seat was designed in accordance with the planning of the county seat, which was even higher than the requirements of ordinary county seats. The main material of the city wall is rammed earth, mixed with lime and animal blood, etc., and even egg white and glutinous rice are added to improve the viscosity between the wall materials, thereby enhancing the strength of the city wall. According to Tian Feng's planning, the overall shape of the new city wall is rectangular, the city wall is three zhang high (one zhang in the Han Dynasty is 2.3 meters), the bottom is four zhang wide, the top is two zhang and five feet wide, and the inner circumference of the city wall is eleven kilometers. The city gate is opened on the east and west, north and south sides of the city wall, and there are city towers, arrow towers, and gate towers built on the city gates, according to Tian Feng's supplementary plan, after the completion of the city wall, a corner tower will be built at each of the four corners of the city wall.
The reason why the city wall is built so strong and so suitable for defense is because in Zeng Yu's purpose is to build this place into his base camp, and his geographical location is also very superior, almost located at the junction of Bingzhou, Jizhou and Sili.
When Tian Feng announced the news of the need for the expansion of the county seat, and the people heard that they could not only resist the conscription in the coming year, but also get wages and provide a meal and lodging, everyone was moved, and countless young people came to the county government to sign up. Guy because winter is a time of slack farming, and the people have nothing to do, and even most of the people are reluctant to eat enough at this time to save food. And now that such a good opportunity is in front of me, I can not only eat enough, but also have a salary, so it's no wonder that I can't sign up enthusiastically.
Of course, this is also the county government after Zeng Yu took office, the credibility of the government has been guaranteed, and the people believe in the government, if it is changed to other places, the people will also worry that the government will break its promise. After all, it is not the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the credibility of the government is very strong, and now the people are more afraid of the government and less respectful.
On the first day of the call, the number of applicants was close to three thousand, and Tian Feng's original plan was to calculate according to three thousand people. When the following people reported to Tian Feng the number of people who signed up, and mentioned that there may be more people in the future, he asked if he wanted to raise the requirements for the people.
Tian Feng thought for a while and told them to continue to recruit, even if it exceeded, it didn't matter, that is, it would cost a little more money and food. As for the difference from the original plan, there is no need to worry about this, he will go to tell Zeng Yu.
