The Yingchuan clan occupied an extremely important position in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

But if it comes to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the most outstanding people in Yingchuan are none other than the four chiefs of Yingchuan: Zhong Hao, Xun Shu, Han Shao, and Chen Yu.

Zhong Hao's great-grandson is Zhong Xuan.

And Xun Shu had eight sons, named Balong. His grandson, that is, Xun Yu.

Han Shao is also famous, but his heirs are not famous. And the last of the four elders, Chen Yu, is Chen Qun's grandfather.

Chen Qun's father, Chen Ji, is also a famous member of the Yingchuan Wang clan.

It is recorded in the history books that Chen Qun is a person who is still good at etiquette, good at making friends, and has the wisdom to know people.

Being able to get such an evaluation in the history books is enough to see Chen Qun's goodness. However, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Chen Qun's role is not very sufficient, but when Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he appeared on the stage to suggest that Cao Ying send troops to attack Sun Quan. However, due to Zhuge Liang's design later, he persuaded Ma Chao to raise troops, and forced Cao Ying to abandon Chen Qun's plan. But since then, Chen Qun has been highly regarded.

In real history, Chen Qun was first used by Liu Bei.

In the first year of Xingping, Liu Bei was the assassin of Yuzhou, and Chen Qun was a special driver.

At that time, Tao Qian happened to die of illness, so Liu Bei was ready to enter Xuzhou, but Chen Qun thought it was not suitable, and said that Liu Bei would be attacked by Lu Bu sooner or later. Liu Bei didn't listen and insisted on going, and in the end, it was as Chen Qun said, for which Liu Bei felt great regret, but he was helpless.

After that, Chen Qun was promoted to Maocai, and then followed his father Chen Ji to live in Xuzhou.

Although the Yingchuan Chen family and the Guangling Chen family have nothing to do with each other, Chen Qi and Chen Qun's father, Chen Ji, have an irreversible friendship.

Chen Qun lived in Xiapi, but Lu Bu was reluctant to use him.

As for Chen Qun himself, he didn't seem to have any intention of assisting Lu Bu, so he got a spare job, wandered around, and was very happy to call friends.

Cao Peng knew Chen Qun as a person, but he didn't know much about it.

His understanding of the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty was mainly born from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

And in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Chen Qun is just a trick character. In addition, Cao Peng's understanding of Chen Qun is another ...... That is the extremely famous Jiupin Zhongzheng system in later generations, which came from the hands of Chen Qun.

But if you ask Cao Peng: What is the content of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system?

He really doesn't have to, he can answer.

In fact, the Jiupin Zhongzheng System was born out of the Jiupin Official Law and was founded by Cao Ying. Then Chen Qun changed it on this basis, and it became the Jiupin Zhongzheng system. It can be said that the Jiupin Zhongzheng system has had a profound impact on China in the following hundreds of years.

That night, Cao Peng held a small family banquet at home.

However, unlike the most common system of dividing meals in this era, he had a round table prepared and a copper pot placed in the center of the round table.

There is no lamb from the Hetao in the North Bazaar, but there are locally fed lambs.

After slaughtering, Cao Peng had the lamb sliced into thin slices, which were then served on large plates and placed on top of the round table.

Tender lamb meat, as well as a variety of vegetables, in addition to Cao Peng's special ingredients.

Of course, there will be no ingredients such as sesame sauce and MSG, because in this era, there is no such thing. Cao Peng also just asked people to use the existing ingredients for simple concoction, and the back end came up, there was a different flavor.

Chen Deng is also a glutton, even more so than Chen Qun.

I have long heard Chen Qun talk about this fresh way to eat, and now that he has the opportunity to taste it, he will naturally not miss it.

After boiling the water with only green onion and ginger, the tender mutton is soaked back and forth in it, and it is quickly cooked...... Cao Peng beckoned everyone to dine, Chen Deng and Chen Qun were not polite, dipped the tender cooked meat in the saucer, put it in the mouth and chewed, and nodded again and again.

"It's a simple way to eat, but it's a unique flavor."

"Well, I think it's definitely a pleasure to have this kind of weather with such delicious food."

The two gourmets praised it, but Deng Ji couldn't help but blame Cao Peng.

If you know that there is such a way to eat, why not tell me about it earlier?

Cao Peng couldn't help laughing, "Even if I say it, brother-in-law, do you have the appetite to eat?" ”

"This ......"

Deng Ji couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Cao Peng is telling the truth, before today, Deng Ji could be regarded as a continuous rotation, and he has never been able to be free.

In Xudu, he helped Dian Wei train his troops, and then when he arrived in Haixi, he faced many difficulties and dangers. If he hadn't dealt with the pirates last night, maybe he would still be scared now. Come to think of it, after coming to Haixi, it seems that only today is the most relaxing.

"Uncle and grandson, you are ready to implement Tuntian, I will not object.

But there are two things you have to promise me. First, you can't forcibly land the fields, and the villagers need to be willing. Haixi County has suffered many disasters over the years, and now it has finally settled down, and I really don't want any more tribulations and troubles in Haixi County...... And, it's good for you, too. Although the Haixi region is not too big, those villagers are in Guangling, after all, they are intertwined, and it is difficult to explain the relationship between them. If you forcibly promote it and ruin your reputation, it will not be good for you in the future. ”

Chen Deng's words were for Deng Ji's sake.

Deng Ji is not the kind of person who is ignorant, how can he not hear Chen Deng's kindness?

"Please rest assured that Chen Taishou will definitely act carefully."

"This second thing ......"

Before Chen Deng finished speaking, Chen Qun opened his mouth to interrupt him.

"Brother Yuanlong, it's best to say it in private for your official business.

With such a delicacy in front of you, you are still in the mood to say anything about official business, it is really a bad scenery, a big bad scenery...... Come on, uncle, grandson, please drink. ”

Chen Deng couldn't help but smile bitterly and glared at Chen Qun.

Cao Peng opened his mouth and said: "Chen Taishou is worried, is Haixi in danger?" ”

"This ......"

Chen Deng sighed and nodded.

"Actually, there are some things that you know, so I won't repeat them.

But I must remind you that it is indeed a good way for Haixi to set up a salt introduction and legalize illegal salt. But in doing so, you will inevitably attract the hatred of some. You control the salt road in the western part of the sea, but I am afraid that it will ......."

"The East China Sea Elk?"

"This ......"

Chen Deng didn't expect Cao Peng to say it so bluntly.

Alas, in the end, there is youth and vigor.

"After all, the Donghai Elk family has been in business for many years, and Elk Zhu is not a simple role.

Although he is not meddling in the family's affairs now, in fact, the Donghai Elk family has always been an extremely powerful force in the hands of the Elk. At the beginning, Donghai County didn't want to clean up the elk family, but in the end, he also left Donghai County miserably...... The Elk family not only has private salt, but also connections. If you block the Haixi Salt Road, you will inevitably suffer retaliation from the Elk. ”

Chen Deng's words actually implied a meaning.

If Elk Zhu retaliates, although he is the Taishou of Guangling County, I am afraid he will not help.

This part is actually very simple to think about.

The ancestors of the Elk family sold illicit salt and firmly held the two Huai smuggling salt in their hands for many years, and there must be a reason for him. Guangling is in the land of Lianghuai, how can there be no people from the Elk family? If Deng Ji really controls the salt road, he is afraid that it will touch the interests of many people, and at that time, Chen Deng may not be able to give Deng Ji too much help. Although in private, Chen Deng was also in favor of controlling the salt road.

"Well...... Xia Guan already had a plan. ”

"Oh?"

"Before I left Xudu, I heard that Cao Gong wanted to march into the army."

"Bingtun?"

Deng Ji nodded, "I want to follow the law of Cao Gong and run parallel to Bingtun in Haixi Shangtun." Farming when the farm is busy, and training the army when the farm is not working...... It is the so-called integration of soldiers and farmers. As long as I can survive next autumn, even if the elk family is powerful, I will not be afraid of him. ”

"Soldiers in agriculture, soldiers and farmers in one?"

Chen Qun put down his chopsticks, looked at Deng Ji and said softly: "Could it be that Uncle and grandson are children of the Fa family?" ”

"Huh?"

"This method of using soldiers in agriculture is quite similar to the violent Qin back then.

Cao Gong marched to the tun, and maybe he would not be attacked yet; But if you march to the army and spread it, it will inevitably cause controversy.

In my opinion, you can implement this method of soldiers, but you should focus on Shangtun and hide in it.

At the same time, you must clear this strategy as soon as possible and seek Cao Gong's approval. Otherwise, it's likely to get you in trouble. ”

Chen Qun's words woke up Deng Ji at once.

He turned his head to look at Cao Peng, and saw Cao Peng nodding slightly.

Deng Ji is a person who cultivates the law, but where does he actually understand this? The method of Bingtun hiding in Shangtun is actually a suggestion given to him by Cao Peng.

During the Three Kingdoms period, there was indeed a soldier, and it was written by Cao Ying.

It's just that because Mintun has just begun, it has only been two years, so Bingtun has not yet appeared.

As for whether Cao Ying really put forward the concept of Bingtun, Cao Peng is not very clear. But he knew that if he wanted to persuade Deng Ji Bingtun, he had to use Cao Ying's guise. Chen Qun is right, if he rushes to implement Bingtun, he will be suspected by Cao Ying...... After all, Cao Ying's suspiciousness is well-known in history. The integration of soldiers and peasants, the integration of soldiers and peasants, this will really cause Cao Ying's heart.

I seem to have thought about it a little more simply, and I really should be on the sparse everything.

Deng Ji picked up his wine glass, "Changwen, thank you!" ”

"That friend learned the matter of Guangling......"

Chen Deng suddenly brought up the old story.

Cao Peng rubbed his nose and asked suspiciously, "But I don't know, why did Chen Taishou recruit me to go?" ”

"This ...... To tell you the truth, this was not my idea, but my father's intention. ”

"What does Chen Gong Hanyu mean?"

"Exactly."

Cao Peng was a little confused!

He can be sure of one thing, that is, he has nothing to do with Chen Qi.

How can he be good, Chen Jue wants to recruit him?

"Chen Gong recruited me, what is the use?"

"This ...... My father didn't say it, but he just said that he could try his best to recruit friends and go to Guangling. ”

Cao Peng was really a little confused this time.

"Chen Taishou, if I don't know how to lift, how about I think twice about this matter?"

"Of course you can, but you'd better decide sooner."

This is the end of the dialogue between Cao Peng and Chen Deng.

Everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp again, and the four of them consumed nearly six catties of lamb before they ended the banquet satisfied.

Among them, Cao Peng alone ate nearly two catties.

With his previous breakthrough in Xiapi, his bones grew more and more vigorously, and his appetite became more and more amazing.

Not only him, but Wang Mai and others are also facing such a situation. According to Wang Mai himself, he can now eat at least ten breads in one meal, almost two or three catties. Such an astonishing amount of food has prompted their qi and blood to be further vigorous. After Cao Peng was full, he moved around the courtyard again, then took two entourages and went to the North Market to discuss things with Wang Mai, Deng Fan and others.

The next day, Chen Deng went back!

It's like he came to Haixi quietly, and now he has quietly left Haixi.

However, Chen Qun did not leave.

He stayed in Haixi, saying that he wanted to eat all the delicacies that Cao Peng had said.

For this, Cao Peng naturally will not refuse.

The truth of having one more friend and one more way, Cao Peng understands it very well.

In his previous life, he was so narrow that he could only do things single-handedly at a critical time, and in the end he was so tired that his family was ruined. In this life, Cao Peng deliberately changed his surname, tried to socialize with the people around him, and tried to further integrate into this era.

Chen Qun is also a good person to make friends.

Moreover, he doesn't have the kind of gentlemanship of a child of a family, although he has a sense of arrogance in his bones, it also depends on who he befriends with.

For example, when facing people like Huang Cheng and Pan Yong, Chen Qun is often dismissive.

But when he turned his head and chatted with Puyang Minbuqi, he looked extremely elegant and polite. As for being with Cao Peng, Chen Qun is more like a glutton, and he is very lively. Making friends with Chen Qun, in the words of later generations, is a very 'cool' thing.

Chen Qun is knowledgeable, and he is well-versed in the past.

He is easy to say, but he is very measured...... Cao Peng rarely heard any words from his mouth to comment on the current situation, and rarely said the rights and wrongs of today.

Anything that involves the court, Chen Qun will use a very sleek way to transform the past. Moreover, he didn't say Liu Bei, he didn't talk about Lu Bu, he only talked about some customs. But if you think about it carefully, you will find that Chen Qun's words have a very clear point of view.

He, embrace Cao!

Cao Peng knows this, but he will not break it in person.

—————————————————————————— Mairen's sudden death caused concern among many gentry in Haixi.

In just a few days, the old gentry of Haixi Township were divided into two factions. One faction was resolutely unwilling to sell land and population, while the other faction slowly began to support Deng Ji. In the middle of Gu Yue, Deng Ji ordered to start measuring the land and counting the population. The opposition remained firm, while the supporters took the initiative. By the end of the month, the nine leaders of Haixi had handed over the land in their hands...... From the homes of the leaders of the nine major banks, nearly 3,000 households were found.

These people were uniformly registered and officially became the people of Haixi.

At the beginning of December, the first batch of 8,000 people from Yuzhou Mountain arrived in Haixi Duigouji by boat.

Deng Ji ordered Buqi to personally preside over the settlement, and soon after, 8,000 Haimin moved into Tuntian and became the first batch of participants in Haixi Mintun.

For a time, the small Haixi County actually gathered the attention of countless people.

It was not only Chen Qi and Chen Deng and his son who began to pay attention to the development of the situation in Haixi, but many people, including Xiapi, Donghai, and even Pei County, which is separated from Haixi, also set their sights on this small land in Haixi. Haixi County suddenly became the focus of the entire Lianghuai region.

Deng Ji, a name that is extremely unfamiliar to many people, began to attract people's attention.

The rise of this person seems to be quite dramatic.

He was originally just a small official in Jianyang County, Nanyang County, but somehow, he arrived in Xudu and intersected with many people.

Runan is too guarded with full favors, the military advisor sacrifices wine Guo Jia, Shangshu Xunyu, and the servant Xun Yu...... These people seem to have a lot to do with Deng Ji.

Moreover, Deng Ji was in Xudu, and the matter of assisting Dian Wei in training troops was also revealed. So he joined the army with one arm and the name of supervising the post with one arm gradually began to louder. After that, Deng Ji was still a hidden ink man, and now the son-in-law of Cao Ji, the superintendent of the Shaofu Zhuye Supervisor, has also been investigated. A year ago, Deng Ji's reputation was not loud, but a year later, he has begun to dominate the party, and he has achieved remarkable results.

However, it is precisely because of Deng Ji's aura that the name Cao Peng has not spread except for a few people who know it...... In the Pei County Mansion, a middle-aged man was frowning, with a worried look on his face.

He was dressed in a gorgeous brocade dress and was tall.

The appearance is very handsome, giving people a generous and kind color.

However, if we talk about the most striking feature, it is the pair of ears that are quite convincing.

The earlobes are large and thick.

If you follow the rhetoric in the later generations, this is a blessing for both ears.

In the flower hall, there are a few more people.

The man in Chinese costume sat in the center, behind him, one on the left and one on the right, each with two burly men.

One, wearing a parrot green robe, with a beautiful beard and a drooping chest. The jujube red face, the lying silkworm eyebrows, and the red phoenix eyes have a terrifying momentum.

The other was dressed in a black robe, with a leopard's head and eyes, and a beard like a steel needle in Yasai, which made him steal a fierce aura.

A black face with his hands on his chest.

He and the red-faced man stood quietly behind the man in fancy clothes, like two generals.

"Gongyou, what the hell is going on?

Isn't it already arranged? How could such a thing happen suddenly...... Mai Ren died suddenly, and the Haixi Salt Road was suddenly blocked? ”

"Lord, this matter is really a bit strange, and it's no wonder that Gongyou."

A man sitting at the head of the flower hall stood up and bowed.

"None of us thought that the Haixi Ring would be so tricky. When Gongyou first told me, I didn't pay too much attention to it.

But in order to ensure the timely delivery of military rations and weapons, I even contacted the Yuzhou Mountain pirates. Who knows...... The 3,000 pirates were wiped out in Haixi, and Guan Hai of Xuezhou was also killed in battle. Almost overnight, Hercynian quickly grew stronger, and also blocked our salt road. I have sent people to the East China Sea and sent three batches of goods in a row, but they were either confiscated by Haixi County, or they were strangely unknown...... The two Huai salt merchants have already been a little moved, and if they can't solve the affairs of the western part of the strait as soon as possible, they are afraid that it will have a huge impact on the lord. ”

"This Deng Ji is a talent."

The man in the Chinese costume suddenly spoke, but no one expected that it would be such a statement.

"The Lord's Will......"

"Otherwise, send someone to contact him and spy on him?"

Sun Gan said tentatively: "I once had a relationship with Deng Ji's wife and brother.

Just ......"

"Just what?"

"At that time, I wanted to teach Deng Ji a lesson, so I teamed up with Lu Bu's fake son Lu Ji to design a frame-up. But somehow, he was dodged by that kid. I sensed that this person seemed to be quite hostile to the lord, so I discussed with the ovary to solve Deng Ji. ”

"Gongyou, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Sun Qian lowered his head and did not answer.

The black-robed man suddenly said, "With a stump arm, why should my brother worry."

The younger brother was willing to lead a group of men and horses to Haixi, and took the head of the dog with the stump arm and offered it to the elder brother. As soon as the stump died, the salt road opened by itself. ”

"This ......"

The man in fancy clothes showed a hesitant attitude.

(To be continued)
