In the face of such an exciting opportunity, it is not enough to hold it in your hands! In the face of the courtesy of the child, you must perform more well! Ximenqing knelt down and said respectfully to the young man: "Childe is so courteous to the student, the student is willing to serve the child!" The young man smiled and shook his head, "You should be loyal to your father, and that is the action you made for your great dream of recovering the glory of the Han Dynasty!" Ximen Qing nodded yes again and again, and quietly took out a small bag of Fenhuang Xuemei from his backpack and respectfully handed it to the young man. Under Ximenqing's gesture, the young man opened the package, gently twisted a thin one, and tasted: "The taste of this dried plum is really sour enough!" ”
Under the leadership of the young man, Ximenqing finally entered the main hall, and more than a dozen adults in the hall were discussing something. The young man stepped forward and bowed: "Father, Mr. Simon has been invited in," and then casually stopped in the middle of the right class. In the first case, a few middle-aged men with short beards and bronze crowns smiled slightly: "Ladies and gentlemen, look at this, this is Mr. Simon, who has come to us with hunger and sleep all the way in accordance with the recruitment order of my shogunate!" Ximenqing hurriedly bent down and bowed and said, "Student Ximenqing greets Cao Gonghuwei!" Everyone, well! ”
The middle-aged man on the right with a kind face nodded and said, "The face is good, I don't know what to think!" Ximen Qing said respectfully: "The students think that the key to a rich country and a strong army lies in people, and with people there is the labor force for production, the strength to conquer cities and territories, and the source of development and growth. The students heard that Cao Gongxin had 300,000 people in Qingzhou, and had already selected 100,000 tigers and wolves to train the three armies. There are still 200,000 people who are about to be assigned to the counties for resettlement? The middle-aged man on the right nodded slightly.
Ximen Qing said: "Students think that the more people there are, the greater the power, and it is difficult to play a role if they are dispersed. It is better to choose a place with fertile land and sparse population to set up a separate county for centralized management. And this county should be different from other counties, these people are not ordinary people. They should have a new name called the military household! Plan according to the march, and when you need it, you can immediately reorganize a new army. Usually engage in farming and weaving, and develop people's livelihood. Moreover, the same Qingzhou people can take care of each other, and there is less trouble caused by living together with the people of Yanzhou. ”
More than a dozen adults in the main hall also considered the pros and cons of this strategy. Ximenqing noticed that there were two adults who cast approving glances, and Ximenqing also smiled and nodded to the two. Finally, Ximen Qing waited for a majestic voice that he had been waiting for for a long time: "Well, it seems that Mr. Ximen still has some ideas. In this way, Mr. Simon temporarily helped under Wen Ruo, and temporarily appointed Mr. Simon to the post of chief bookkeeper. Let's go down and get ready! Ximenqing hurriedly thanked him, and walked out of the main hall after pacing three steps. Tai Ritian woke up from sleep again, poking his head out of his backpack and screaming at the adults in the main hall again. Ximenqing knelt down in panic, and could only hear Cao Cao's voice: "Go!" ”
Call! Finally got this starting point! Now is the time for my Ximen Qingda to look forward to it!

According to my official position, I was given a set of official rooms, and I was secretly embarrassed that this was a concave courtyard. Hell, I don't know what this house used to do, but this is my welfare house! And I also have a maid in this suite, well, this is what I want to live! That night, Ximen Qing had a good time. It's really a sin to have this dress beckoning to you and opening your mouth for food! What about the Thai Ritian baby? Right now, it was nesting in the corner of the side room, shivering in the dim new environment.

Early the next morning, Ximen Qing arrived at the house in plain clothes and according to his duties. On one side is a group of sturdy men who go in and out of the mountain of grain and rice warehouses to carry rice and grain, and on the other side is a group of government officials who sit next to the desk and keep fiddling with calculations and biting the pen. They didn't seem to notice Ximenqing's existence at all, because Ximenqing paced around them several times and no one raised their heads to take a look. This is very similar to the entry clerks of our time, Ximen Qing nodded endlessly. As soon as I raised my hand, I suddenly found that I didn't have a watch, okay, go home and get it, I don't know how to do it. Then he strode out of his office area, Cangcao Yamen.

Before he could enter the house, he heard his own wail, mixed with the shouting and scolding of his own maid: "Beast! I can't grow a few taels of meat, howl and howl all day long, and obediently roll into the basin and wash it myself! My mother will cook you tonight! ”
Oh? Not good! Thai Ritian baby is in danger! If the baby dies, will I, the second Tai Ritian trainer, still have to choose an earth dog to cultivate? Then he quickly opened the door, raised his foot over the threshold, and called to the maid, "Wait a minute! The maid was so surprised that her face was unnatural: "My lord, are you going back to the house?" Welcome home! At that moment, Ximenqing ignored her strange look, ran quickly to his bedroom, turned out the hidden backpack, found the dog food bag, and ran to the kitchen to get two bowls, and said to the maid Zhengse: "This is not an ordinary dog, this is a divine dog called Teddy." Just look at its fur and you'll know! This is a military dog that will be dedicated to General Cao after it is raised! ”
The maid's face was extremely ugly, and she didn't wait for anything to say. Ximenqing poured dog food into a bowl and said to her: "The responsibility of taking care of military dogs will be handed over to you in the future!" Give it two meals a day, and so much every day at this time of day and when the sun sets! It didn't finish eating and then poured back into the bag of dog food, and in the end the bag had to be clamped like this with this clip anyway! The maid's face was blue and purple, and it was extremely ugly. Ximenqing pointed to another bowl and said: "In the future, this is the water bowl of the military dog, if there is no one, help it fill it!" Now go and dry it, you can't let it die! ”

When he rushed all the way back to the yamen, three adults were already sitting on the table in the hall drinking tea. At the moment, he couldn't care about his sweat and knelt on the ground: "My subordinates don't know that the lord and the tiger are in front of me, and I am sincerely afraid, honest and afraid!" Cao Cao chuckled: "The master of the master has just taken office and has been running all the way, but there is something important in the house?" "When the subordinates came to order this morning, they saw that the scribes and subordinates were working hard, and they thought of a few things to improve their work speed. I couldn't help but think that I was crazy and paced in the yazhong, but as soon as things became done, my subordinates returned home unconsciously. I beg the lord to let his subordinates sacrifice a few things before receiving the punishment! "I kept kowtowing again.
When Ximen Qing explained a few things clearly, he fainted due to excessive nervousness, which made Cao Cao and his party shake their heads and laugh. A beautiful man smiled: "This Ximenqing is really interesting, with such insight and practical ability." Brother Wen Ruo, why don't you give me this interesting subordinate who is honestly afraid? I'll give you a jar of wine in exchange! The kind-looking middle-aged man known as Wen Ruo shook his head and laughed: "Feng Xiaoxiu wants to trick me, if Feng Xiao has such a subordinate official, how about I exchange it for a cart of fine wine?" "Hahahaha"

At this time, Ximenqing woke up slightly and found that his face was full of saliva, and the air was still filled with the smell of dog food. Ximenqing sat up from the bed and immediately found the baby Tai Ritian curled up in his arms. The corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Stinky shit eats dog food!" "The baby immediately woke up from his sleep, and his little head was stupid and cute. The maid learned that Ximen Qing had recovered and stepped forward to bless and said: "There is a word from the yamen, if the adults are in good health, they will immediately start teaching the yamen officials to the west, and supervise the creation of a hundred abacus and hand them over to the treasury." ”

In this way, Ximenqing gradually gained a reputation in Yanzhou officialdom, but this can obviously only be regarded as an appetizer for his Ximenqing's ambitions. Recently, Ximenqing was on duty in Taishoufu, because now the computing tools of the entire Cao Group have been upgraded from 1.0 to 2.0. These superfluous calculations were retired from their posts early, and Ximenqing is now playing with the idea of these calculations. It turned out that Ximenqing was dissatisfied with the current toilet conditions, and planned to use these calculations to make paper so that he could get rid of the evil toilet chips forever. When Ximenqing's idea was just about to be implemented, a messenger came with a message that made him cry. Due to the vigorous development of the Yanzhou region, there is a big gap in money and grain, Cao Cao named Ximen Qing to fill this gap, if a guy like Ximen Qing has no background, no savings and no connections, he can only go to mining.
Fortunately, Cao Cao did not completely seal the way of life, and with a wave of his hand, he allocated a special combat team composed of fifty veterans and ten old officials who were already proficient in using abacus as deployment. According to Ximenqing's proposal, fighting is fighting for money and grain, so start directly with money and grain. Well, let's wait and see how Ximenqing can achieve his ambitions.

After many days of rest, Tae Ritian finally regained his combat effectiveness. Today is the first time he goes out, and he must show his dog power! took advantage of the time when the maid went out to buy vegetables and opened the door, and immediately ran out. The gate of the courtyard of the official dormitory is equipped with a threshold, and it just pounces and passes, which shows that the little guy's physical fitness has also improved after crossing. The first run was to the biscuit stand, and after sniffing a little, it straightened up and landed on its hind feet and bowed to the biscuitry. This action frightened the baked cake guy, and hurriedly reported to the government that there was a monster on the West Street of Dongjun! Cao Cao was still the prime minister of Jinan, and he was a well-deserved pioneer in breaking superstition and killing demons. The Yanzhou officials also looked nervous about the presence of monsters, but the monsters that everyone saw were Tai Ritian with tears in his eyes and wailing in a low voice.
