Chapter 8 Relocation of Yingchuan
Xun Jing and Cai Yong both scoffed at Gao Ye's words to make money, a good scholar, it is not a good thing to drill in the eyes of money every day. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info therefore reprimanded Gao Ye's profit-seeking behavior. Especially Cai Yong, his son-in-law, how can he say that he is also a famous person in the world, and the technology of printing, which benefits students all over the world, is just a means of making money in Gao Ye's eyes, so how can Cai Yong not be heartbroken?
If it weren't for Gao Ye saying that the money he got from printing books would be used to subsidize the college, it is estimated that he would not have thought about leaving safely today. These two old guys, who want money and don't want to have a reputation for asking for money, made Gao Ye speechless. But there is no way, who let the two of them be their father-in-law, and the other is more famous and scary, and they can't afford to mess with it!
However, it is nothing to invest your own money in the academy, and has you invested less in the academy over the years? The new Gaide library, canteen, and even the workshop in front of you, can't the Xun family pay more than half a penny? It's not all about self-financing. Anyway, eighty percent of my annual expenses are spent on the college, and it is not a matter of one or two cents in more than one.
It's just that if the academy has been like it is now, and it needs to rely on its own investment to develop, I'm afraid it won't be a long-term thing. If the academy can't have any property and let it support itself, Gao Ye feels that bankruptcy is his ultimate destination. If this is the case, then what is the point of building such a academy now? Is it like the Jixia School Palace back then, let future generations hang it? This problem plagued Gao Ye for three hours, and then it was thrown out of the clouds by Cai Yan's appearance. Forget it, I'm still young anyway, and I have time, so let's talk about it then.
However, some problems can be talked about at that time, and such a major event as Cao Cao's official relocation of the administrative office to Yingyin cannot be talked about at that time. Xu Shu, who was sent to Liu Ye's side by himself, came back from Yingyin in a hurry a month later, just to tell Gao Ye the news. After all, today's high night is still Yingchuan Taishou, Cao Cao is coming, how can he, who is too shou, not be there?
Therefore, Gao Ye, who was standing at the gate of the city waiting for Cao Cao and his party, looked at Liu Ye beside him helplessly and said, "Ziyang, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" It's noon now, why haven't they arrived yet? ”
"My lord, how could I be wrong about such a big thing? Besides, didn't there be a scout just now to report that the lord was only ten miles away from here? Wait a minute, just wait. ”
To be honest, it's really not that Gao Ye has no patience, the main thing is that it's too cold today, even if he is wrapped in a coat, Gao Ye still feels that the cold air has penetrated deep into his bone marrow. I feel that I have been frozen through the high night, if it weren't for Liu Ye's obstruction, I would want to go back to the warm Taishou Mansion now, and keep myself warm. Fortunately, he finally saw Cao Cao's banner, which made Gao Ye decide to wait a little longer. However, when Cao Cao was also shivering in the cold wind from a distance, and his face was red from the cold, Gao Ye's heart was much more balanced.
It's really a little strange today, to be honest, Gao Ye has lived in Yingchuan for so many years, and it's really cold today. I don't know how much luck Cao Cao had, so he would travel a long distance to Yingchuan at such a time. Naturally, there will be a whole set of ceremonies when monarchs and ministers meet, but although everyone is Cao Cao's courtiers at the moment, Cao Cao is not a king, where did he get so many rules.
After Cao Cao met Gao Ye and Liu Ye, he just exchanged a few words of greeting, and then rubbed his hands and asked everyone to hurry into the city. Just being outside the house in such weather is torture. Cao Cao's proposal naturally matched Gao Ye's intentions, and it was also that except for the old lady Cao, who had a brazier in the carriage for warmth, the rest of the civil and military officials were already frozen with a lot of snot. Especially when Guo Jia came to Gao Ye's side, Gao Ye first took out a handkerchief and wiped the snot off Guo Jia's face before talking to him.
Fortunately, in the Taishou Mansion, the radiator is burning hot. The officials who were frozen half to death outside could only be regarded as saving their lives when they entered the Taishou Mansion. Even Cao Song couldn't help but be amazed as soon as he came in, in the lobby where there was no brazier, it was as warm as spring, which was really incredible.
Cao Song had been sent to the backyard to rest temporarily, while Cao Cao had a banquet with a group of officials in the front hall. Liu Ye, who had already been prepared, naturally would not disappoint Cao Cao. Originally, it was also the end of the year, there was no major event, and there was nothing wrong with everyone eating and drinking together.
Especially this year, Yanzhou and Yingchuan have obtained huge harvests, which really made Cao Cao completely relieved. With these grains, it will be easier to attack Xuzhou next year. What's more, he has an excellent excuse, who let your Tao Qian's subordinates attack Cao Song's convoy without dying? Cao Song, who was escorted back by Zhao Yun and Mi Fang at that time, the first thing he did when he got out of the car was to ask Cao Cao to ask Tao Qian for him what it meant to send troops to attack him.
Cao Cao, who looked confused, carefully questioned Mi Fang, only to learn that they were near Dongyang City and were attacked by Zhang Min, the general of the Xuzhou Military Department. If Cao Hong and Zhao Yun hadn't come in time, I'm afraid everyone would have died here. To be honest, even if Cao Cao's generation of heroes heard that his father almost died, it was impossible not to be angry. Fortunately, under the advice of Xun Yu and Guo Jia, Cao Cao gave up his thoughts of starting troops immediately. Instead, he wrote an extremely harshly worded letter and sent it to Tao Qian's case.
Tao Qian, who received the letter, was also at a loss at the moment, Mi Zhu had told him at the beginning that Zhang Min might see the intention of making money and attack Cao Song, and then the relationship between Xuzhou and Yanzhou was afraid that there would be no room for relaxation. But who would have thought that even if he didn't let Zhang Min escort Cao Song, Zhang Min, who was interested in getting rich, would still attack this team? Now Cao Cao's letter is on the desk, and the letter says that if he does not hand over Zhang Min, he will go to Xuzhou to take revenge in the next year.
Zhang Min's death, Cao Cao knew it, and all the heads were vented by the old man and smashed into pulp, how could he not know. But Guo Jia said, anyway, no one knows Zhang Min's life and death except for his own side, so in other words, Tao Qian can't take Zhang Min's head, and the reason for entering Xuzhou next year is more sufficient. Even Tao Qian knows this very well, and it is almost impossible to take out Zhang Min's head by himself. Let's not talk about whether Zhang Min is really dead, even if he is not dead, as long as he escapes from Xuzhou, what can he do? Cao Cao said this, just to find a legitimate reason for him to crusade against Xuzhou. It seems that next year, Xuzhou will have another disaster of swords.
Since sending a letter to Tao Qian, Cao Cao has been preparing to move the governance office to Yingchuan, and even Xun Yu feels that the governance office is too close to Yuan Shao in Dongjun. Here there is a possibility of being raided by Yuan Shao's men and horses at any time. Although Yuan Shao is still fighting with Gongsun Zhan, Gao Ye always said that "the heart of defense is indispensable", so Xun Yu resolutely supports Cao Cao's decision.
Therefore, in just a month, Cao Cao had already brought all his men to Yingchuan. As for Dongjun, Chen Gong temporarily took over the post of Taishou. After all, when Liu Dai died and he became the ruler of Yanzhou, Chen Gong made great efforts, and his own arrangement could be regarded as appeasing Chen Gong and the heart of the Yanzhou family.
Now that the hearts of the Yanzhou family have been appeased, how could Cao Cao's civil and military generals not be appeased? Speaking of which, Cao Cao's most relied on advisors now are either the Hanmen or the Yingchuan family. And most of the generals he relies on the most are his clan brothers, as well as the Yingchuan people under Gao Ye. Now the Taishou Mansion in Gao Ye has been transformed into Cao Mansion, and the Yingchuan County Government in Gao Ye has also become the place where Cao Cao will work in the future. The people who can sit in the lobby today are all Cao Cao's henchmen, and this kind of banquet is naturally more lively.
A group of officials were staggered there, and Gao Ye even came to Mi Fang's side. Speaking of which, I have known Mi Fang for nearly ten years, and in my previous life, I have never had a good impression of Mi Fang, who surrendered to Soochow, if it weren't for him and Fu Shiren, how could Guan Yu lose Mai Cheng? But in this life, I intersected with him and found that others were actually very good, although Wen Taowu was not outstanding, but long-sleeved dancing was his specialty.
Mi Fang is a very good person, and even when Gao Ye is with him, he has a feeling like a spring breeze. Now his brother has been accused of Cao Cao's camp by himself, and he heard Yu Ban, who is still in Lu State, report that Mi Zhu has successfully left Xuzhou and is heading in the direction of Yingchuan. Therefore, Gao Ye and Mi Fang chatted naturally very happily.
"Zifang, this trip is really hard for you, come, you and I haven't seen you for a long time, let's talk about this drink." Gao Ye held the wine and Mi Fang clinked glasses. Mi Fang listened to Gao Ye's heroism, so she naturally raised her wine glass, touched Gao Ye, and drank it all. Then he smiled at Gao Ye and said, "Now the younger brother and my brother are also serving under the lord's account. My brother is much more talented than I am, and I don't have to worry about him. It's my little brother, and I still need to rely on Brother Mingxi to help me a lot. ”
Gao Ye laughed and said: "It's easy to say, Zizhong is now serving as the merchant Cao Shi under the lord, and when the time comes, the business under the lord's rule will be all in the hands of your brother." You have your brother to take care of, so there should be no problem. Why, don't want to continue doing business? ”
"Well, not really. To be honest, I like business. It's just that over the years, as you know, my brother and I have suffered a lot because of our status as businessmen. The eldest brother has always wanted to become an official, and now the lord does not give up and let him serve as the history of Shang Cao, but to be honest, I want to be a rich businessman in the world. Alas, if it weren't for the fact that the status of a merchant is really low, I would have to walk more on this road anyway......"
Before Gao Ye could answer, he only heard a voice on the side laugh and said, "Zifang, don't worry, if you want to do business, just go." Under my rule Cao Mengde, even if I am a businessman, I will definitely treat everyone equally. ”
