Jingzhou

Sima Yi sat on the bed and sighed helplessly, because of Cao Cao's orders, he has been pretending to be sick these days, and has not participated in the construction of the canal, of course, because of illness, he has not been able to help Xun Jun to introduce the officials from all over the country, the main strategy and documents for the construction of the canal, and he has not been able to show Xun Yu to watch, presumably Xun Jun will not force him to be so seriously ill and give him time.

However, so much time has passed, and Sima Yi can no longer continue to rely on it.

Even if he is afraid of Situ, he can't bully Xun Jun like this, not to mention that his family is huge and has a wide range of contacts in the temple, just talking about his status in the heart of the Son of Heaven, Sima Yi feels that he can't go on like this, but after Cao Situ returned to Luoyang, he didn't care about the canal, and he didn't even send a letter, everything had to rely on him to support, which was a bit excessive.

Thinking that the time for the successful construction of the canal was not far away, Sima Yi got up tremblingly.

Even if there is no one around, Sima Yi does not want to relax his vigilance, this sick look, pretending to be for a long time, he has forgotten what he looks like on weekdays, he squinted his eyes, picked up the crutches, and went out slowly, just walked to the door, the two servants in charge of serving were chatting at the door, and when they saw Sima Yi coming out, they were all shocked, and quickly got up, walked to his side, and helped him up.

"Head of the house, why did you come out?"

Sima Yi looked at them, shook his head, and said: "I've been in the house for too long, I'm upset, it just so happens that my body is getting better, I want to go to Xun Gong, hurry up and prepare the carriage....", the servants were still a little worried, and asked: "Why don't we go and invite Xun Gong?" Today's weather is getting colder and colder, and I am afraid that the master of the family will suffer from the wind and cold again...", hearing the slave's words, Sima Yi was furious and said loudly: "Duke Xun is the minister of the court, how can he come to visit me?" ”

"What's more, it's freezing this day, how can I stop my heart for the country?!"

Hearing Sima Yi's words, everyone was extremely amazed, his rickety body looked so tall, and the slaves didn't dare to say more, so they directly prepared the carriage, and with the support of the slaves, Sima Yi got into the carriage tremblingly, and the carriage slowly drove towards the Thorn Mansion.

Speaking of which, Xun Yu really deserves to be a famous minister in the world, although he has no experience as a local official, but after taking over Sima Yi, he improved and implemented a series of policies formulated by Sima Yi, and his reputation in Jingbei far exceeded that of Sima Yi, and it was precisely because of this that Sima Yi did not dare to continue to pretend to be sick, anyway, it was useless to pretend, and the Jingzhou officials were interested in Xun Yu, and it was useless to hide it by himself.

Sima Yi was thinking about these things, but he heard the noise outside, Sima Yi rolled up the curtain with some doubts, looked over, so he saw it, Sima Yi was stunned, on the street, all kinds of vendors were selling, there were northern accents, there were southern accents, and there were even a few Hu people, Sima Yi's eyes widened, there were many cars and horses coming and going, and there were countless pedestrians, just a few months, he felt that he couldn't recognize this Xiangyang City!!

The distance from Sima Yi's residence to the Thorn Mansion is not too far, but it is such a small distance, Sima Yi has walked for a long time, there is no way, there are too many carriages on the street, so that the whole street is blocked, Sima Yi is still the first time to encounter such a situation, I don't know how long I waited, the carriage arrived at the door of the Thorn Mansion, with the support of the slave, Sima Yi got off the carriage and walked into the Thorn Mansion leisurely.

"Sima Envoy Jun!!"

The officials who were busy saw Sima Yi coming, and exclaimed, Sima Yi smiled and returned the salute with them, the officials surrounded him, asking about his situation, Sima Yi replied, but his eyes swept to the inner courtyard of the Assassin's Mansion, sure enough, Xun Yu, who heard the voice outside, stroked his beard, walked out with a smile, and saw Xun Yu come out, and the officials also avoided and gave him a vacant seat.

"Hahaha, Zhongda, why are you here?"

"Xun Gong, my body has improved a little, so I am in a hurry to visit Xun Gong, by the way, I also want to introduce the strategy of this canal, as well as the relevant officials to Xun Gong, so as not to delay important matters..."Sima Yi said, took out some documents from his sleeve, Xun Yu narrowed his eyes, nodded, took these documents, and said: "Come, go to the study with me to sit..."

The two returned to their study and sat facing each other.

Xun Yu said: "Actually, you don't have to bother Zhongda, the officials in charge of the canal have already come to see me, the canal matter is about to be completed, you don't have to worry, and this Jingzhou matter, I hope you can get better sooner, and I will have a good relationship..."

Sure enough, Sima Yi thought in his heart, and said quietly: "Xun Gong, I have been seriously ill these days, and I have really tired you, and I hope to forgive my sins!" ”

"Hey, you didn't pretend to be sick and obey Cao Cao's orders to prevent me from meddling in the construction of the canal, how could I blame you? Don't worry, you see, the canal is almost completed, and after it is officially used, Jingzhou will be able to prosper the sea trade with Yangzhou..."Xun Yu seemed to have something to say, Sima Yi didn't pay attention to it, but asked curiously: "Xun Gong, I haven't gone out for a long time, but when I went out today, I was shocked, I don't know why the change in Xiangyang is so huge?" ”

Xun Yu laughed, handed him an article on the case, Sima Yi took the text with some doubts, he didn't know what it was, it seemed to be Di Bao, but it was a little different, and the top wrote: "Cao Situ Xince: Ten Years and Sixteen Cities!" Sima Yi read it carefully, and then it suddenly dawned on him that this was the temple's recent policy, which was proposed by Cao Cao, and although the temple people objected, they could not stop his implementation.

The main content of the policy is to build 16 large capitals in the Han Dynasty, become the heart of the Han Dynasty, and the temples will give a lot of money to support these county seats, so that these cities will become key hubs with large scale and large populations, and the county officials will be reorganized in these cities to be responsible for protecting the surrounding areas, according to Cao Cao's meaning, that is, to choose a county seat in all parts of the country to become a super capital like Luoyang, as the hub of the common development of the Han Dynasty.

First of all, Luoyang is the first county seat, the first city in the world, with a population of more than several million, at present, there have been proposals in the DPRK and China to divide Luoyang into two, divide Luoyang, one is called Yangcheng, one is called Yangcheng, otherwise, the population is too much, the city is blocked, it is really difficult to govern, the second city, that is, Chang'an, is not far from Luoyang, but it is particularly important, the third county is Ye, which is the key hub from Luoyang to the north, followed by Nanpi County, Changping County, Jinyang County, Jincheng County, Shule County, Guanzhong County, Chengdu County, Xiangyang, Lingling, Wu County, Qiantang County, Xiapi County, Donglai County, etc.

Sima Yi frowned, did not rush to make a statement, but in his heart he understood the reason why Xiangyang has changed so much, Xun Yu said with a smile: "In order to implement this policy, Cao Situ did not hesitate to offend Liu Sikong, so he reluctantly passed, and now, these sixteen counties have begun to develop plans, and the temple has funded a lot of money, and I have used these properties for the development of Xiangyang, which is strategically located enough to become a hub between the north and the south, and can be connected with Yangzhou, Yizhou, and even the entire north...."

Sima Yi nodded, and continued to look at the newspaper in his hand, the various policies in the temple, about to be implemented, or about to be completed, are all clearly written, the focus is to write out the benefits that will be brought after the implementation of the policy, Sima Yi is more and more surprised, Situ Gong is not a loss is Situ Gong, not long after returning to Luoyang, he made such a business, he is really talented!

With that in mind, he flipped the back again.

Well?? The secret of fifty children?? Sima Yi's eyes widened, and he finished reading this article with great concentration, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, after reading it, he almost couldn't help laughing, seeing Sima Yi's appearance, Xun Yu shook his head and said: "If you want to laugh, laugh, I won't tell Sikong!" ”

"Hahaha.. Ha... Hah..."Sima Yi just laughed, but the laughter suddenly stopped, and stopped abruptly, because he noticed the bottom line.

"Next issue: Yankang Twins, the untold stories of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi."

Sima Yi's eyes widened, his face turned red, he gritted his teeth, and raised his head.

Xun Yu cleared his throat and said: "Zhongda, this is Huaxiong's nonsense, you don't care, before you, Situ Gong and Sikong were not spared, I thought it would be the turn of the captain, but I didn't expect it, it's your turn, don't worry, I can probably guess the title after you, probably surprised!" Nong Sang can't be a waiter, this kind of... I wouldn't care anyway. ”

"Xun Gong, I suddenly felt a little unwell, so I'll go back to the house to rest first!" Sima Yi got up and said goodbye to Xun Yu, Xun Yu didn't keep him, sent him out of the mansion, Xun Yu shook his head, put the newspaper aside, and then picked up the letter written by Fazheng, just yesterday, the post station soldier suddenly gave himself a letter from Yangzhou, the person who wrote the letter is Fa Zheng, he has nothing to do with Fa Zheng, and because he is busy all day, he has no time to look through it, and now it is just right to see what this guy wants to do.

Picking up the letter, Xun Yu quickly flipped through an article, and the greetings from Fa Zheng in front of him didn't even look at it, but after reading it like this, Xun Yu couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that this was to write a letter to himself, in order to trade with himself.

"I heard that Xun Gong intends to do maritime trade, the whole south, only my overseas division shipbuilding is the fastest, the car ship building ship, and only Yangzhou can be manufactured, if Xun Gong is interested, I can make ships for Xun Gong at a low price, send them to Jingzhou, can be the convenience of Jingzhou trade, if you buy my Yangzhou car and ship now, and send 100 skilled sailors, send all kinds of vehicles and ships to repair things, I admire Xun Gong for a long time, and there is no greed for money, if Xun Gong is interested, it should be given at cost price!"

"Is this overseas company so short of money???
