Chapter 153: The Feast of Spring Ploughing

Spring blossoms, swallows return, and when the empty fields are once again covered with vibrant grass, spring ploughing begins!

The fields of Shanyang County, everywhere are the busy figures of the ploughing cattle and the shouts of the farmers, years of war, the land is barren, so the farmers have to plough the land several times to do it, at this time no one will be lazy, the elderly, children, women, almost all who can walk around rushed to the field, the iron pear broke the hard land, they followed behind with a wooden stick to carefully break the slightly larger clods, the Zhuang family has a saying called 'people are not lazy', the whole family can fill the stomach, it depends on how much sweat to pay!

Ploughing cattle are free of charge from the government, and the people only need to raise them well, and the little Taishou has a word in advance, if the ploughing cattle give birth to calves during the breeding period, they will belong to the farmer's own ownership, this order makes the people ecstatic, the ploughing cattle are more expensive than the ancestors, good water and good material are waiting, and they are looking forward to these big guys quickly spreading their branches and leaves, and the family will have their own cattle in the coming year!

In the Xuanjia Army camp, Xiao Yi was reviewing the official documents sent from everywhere, and after a period of being too conservative, he was already presentable!

"Cows?"

"Well, do you want cows?"

This letter is from Guo Jia, a drinking friend, saying that brothers meet, one person and one half! Ruthless enough!

This is Xun Yu's, worthy of being a moral gentleman, he only needs 800 heads!

At the time of spring ploughing, the most scarce resource in the whole Yanzhou is to plough cattle, and the poor people in many places really have no cattle to use, so they have to put on ropes and do the work of cattle and horses. When the county magistrates heard that Xiao Yi had gotten thousands of cattle, they immediately sent letters like a swarm, or pleading, or mourning, or cheating, in a word--asking for cattle!

"There are more wolves and fewer cows! It's not enough to divide it, but you can't not give it at all, everyone even uses rogue tricks, not for themselves, but for the poor people of Yanzhou! ”

But Xiao Yi was also very depressed, is it easy to get this little cow by himself, to put it bluntly, these cows are the dowry that Zhao Lang sent to his sister 'Lord Yanran' in advance, and they were exchanged for their 'hue', so they were sent out like this, unwillingly!

"Report to the general, Duke Cao has an order to gather in Jibei to participate in the spring ploughing banquet!" A messenger brought an invitation.

"Well, I haven't seen you for a few months, but I really miss them a little, especially Guo Jia, I don't know how the winery is running in the hands of this guy, whether there is any new wine, as for the 'Spring Ploughing Banquet', there is a ** out of ten or for the ploughing cattle in my hands, well, I can't hide it, but I have to make them vomit some blood!" Throwing down the invitation card in his hand, Xiao Yi touched his chin and laughed evilly.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Jibei, Zhengdong General's Mansion, Xun Yu, Xun You and others are sneezing wildly, this banquet is what they proposed, just now they secretly agreed on an offensive and defensive alliance with the county guards, this time no matter what, I have to scrape some oil and water from Xiao Yi, now the counties of Yanzhou are the richest in Shanyang, that is really money, cattle and cattle, and even taxes have been exempted for three years at once, such a big family, regardless of who he is!

This 'spring ploughing banquet' was presided over by Cao Cao himself, accompanied by the sons of the Cao family, on the one hand, it was to comfort the subordinates who worked hard and made high achievements, and now the situation in Yanzhou is stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is the result of everyone's hard work, and should be rewarded!

Moreover, Cao Cao also wanted to take this opportunity to bring his sons out and show their faces, which could be regarded as officially announcing that their brothers had entered the political arena, so as to pave the way for their future ascendancy!

"Have all the county chiefs arrived?" Cao Cao, who was dressed in a red robe, sat on the throne, his face was full of pride, now the situation in Yanzhou is very good, as long as he accumulates some more strength, the next step is not for him to guard against other princes, but for other princes to guard against him!

"Report to the lord, all the county guards have arrived, only the Shanyang guards haven't come yet, do you want to send someone to urge you?" The official in charge of the banquet counted the seats and found that only one was empty.

"Don't worry, wait a little longer, Xiao Lang won't be there today!" Cao Cao waved his hand, signaling not to be impatient, he knew very well the careful thinking of the county guards, to be honest, if it wasn't for his identity, he would have wanted to go and scavenge it, now Xiao Yi, it's really fat!

When the colleagues were sharpening their knives, there was a roar like a dragon roaring in front of the general's mansion, and a moment later, with a sonorous and powerful footsteps, Xiao Yi, dressed in military uniform, appeared in front of the lobby door, dealing with these colleagues, no less effort than going to the battlefield!

Looking at Cao Cao who looked playful on the main seat, and then looked at his colleagues who were like wolves, Xiao Yi did not rush in, but put his finger to his mouth and whistled loudly~~

With the sound of the whistle, a black shadow rushed out from the corner of the mansion, quickly came to Xiao Yi's feet, circled around, and rubbed Xiao Yi's boots with his big head from time to time, desperately trying to curry favor.

If it is said that the most loyal in its heart is Cao Cao, then the most afraid is Xiao Yi, hearing the whistle, it originally wanted to hide, but when it thought that if it was caught by this 'black-faced demon', the end would be even worse, so it had to run over, revealing a look of 'why haven't you come to play with me for a long time, people want to kill you!'" ’

"Huh! Xiao Hei, you have grown up a lot, and if you are fatter, you can eat dog meat hot pot! "Touching the big head of the 'Wangtian Roar', Xiao Yi took out a few pieces of jerky from his arms and handed them over, the latter hurriedly swallowed them, and also screamed a few times to show his gratitude, the devil didn't dare not eat what he gave, otherwise there would be a danger ******of being impeached......

came to the banquet, did not go to meet Cao Cao first, did not greet colleagues, but played with a dog, such a strange thing was done by Xiao Yi.

The Cao Ang brothers who were sitting in the corner of the banquet were so shocked that they even spit out their little tongues, is this still the fierce Ao dog? How did you become a pug at Xiao Yi's feet?

Could it be that dog's eyes will also be powerful?

"Don't play, if you like it, the old man will ask the old lady of Langyu County to send you another one!" Cao Cao scolded with a smile, but in his heart, he regarded Xiao Yi as his nephew.

"Xiao Hei, obediently, I'll play with you when I'm done!"

"Okay, please sit down, the spring ploughing feast has officially begun!" Seeing that everyone had arrived, Cao Cao began to make an enthusiastic speech, which is nothing more than that in the difficult year of last year, everyone worked together to overcome difficulties and achieved great achievements, and we will continue to make persistent efforts in the future to continue to climb new peaks and so on......

Anyway, this kind of official clichΓ© has not changed for thousands of years, and the speech script written a thousand years ago can still be used now; It is estimated that it will not expire in another thousand years!

"I'm waiting for the Lord's congratulations!"

"Congratulations to the people of Yanzhou!"

"Congratulations to all the people of the world!"

At the end, everyone cheered in unison and drank three glasses in a row!

As soon as the formulaic celebration ended, a group of civil and military officers surrounded Xiao Yi with wine glasses, and it was impenetrable, and the purpose was very simple, civil officials wanted cattle, and military generals wanted horses!

"Guys, I probably know what you're thinking!" Saying that, Xiao Yi stretched out his hand to pick up a wine jar, and smiled evilly, "I'm not a stingy person in the next place, I'll set a rule today, if you want cows, you can have ten heads of wine in a bowl, as for how many cows you can take back, it depends on how big the wine gall is!" ”

"This kid is really bad enough, who doesn't know that he is massive, and we are not his opponents together, what should I do?"

"What else? Today, even if you drink to death, you have to bring the cattle back, and the people in the county are looking forward to the good news! ”

"Well, the old man fought with him today, at least 200 cows, tell the entourage to remember to carry the old man back later......

"Okay, I'll fight too, and I'll drink at two hundred cows today!"

The power of temptation is endless, some civil officials who are not good at drinking have all erupted in the small universe today, eating meat in large chunks, drinking in large gulps, drinking until they rise up and even picking off their clothes, they are even more bold than those generals who lead the troops, and they will fight to the death with Xiao Yi bare-chested, and if they don't drink hundreds of cows back, they will not give up!

"Come, everyone, do it, Tong Su is not bullied, a bowl of wine and ten cows!"

"Ten heads, ten heads ......, the old man will drink ten more heads!"

In the end, even a moral gentleman like Xun Yu went into battle shirtless, and he fought hard to hold the wine jar, and even vomited three times without getting off the wine table, which won everyone's admiration, Guo Jia's old wine worm also ran over and tried to fish in troubled waters, but was driven away by everyone's fists and kicks......

The work of pouring wine was naturally contracted by several sons of the Cao family, which was also a way for Corporal Lixian, when they saw Xiao Yihao's arrogance, holding the wine jar to the enemy without falling behind, they found that they needed to learn one more thing, a thousand cups are not drunk, this is a man!

This booze, drank until the middle of the moon, all the participants were drunk to the ground before it ended, Xiao Yi won a miserable victory, fortunately his mind was still sober, and finally pinched his fingers, "Good boy, more than 2,000 cows are gone, this time it's really too drunk!" ”
