Chapter 15 Lang Zhongling
Listening to Ren Jun's portrait of the first farmer of Go, Cao Pi replied with a smile: "Exactly, so that my uncle can learn that my nephew has been unable to sleep at night these days, and often dreams that the first farmer taught him the art of cultivating paddy fields, and he doesn't know whether it is true or false, so he wants to give it a try."

Compared with later generations, the theory of dreams and ghosts and gods is now very marketable, and with some means, it can play a huge effect in an instant, such as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which brought the 400-year-old Han world into troubled times, is a good use of the theory of ghosts and gods.
At that time, Zhang Jiao taught Taoism in various places, calling his religion "Taiping Dao". Zhang Jiao claimed to be a great sage and good teacher, holding a nine-section scepter, making charms, treating the people, making the sick kowtow and thinking, and then drinking the talisman water, some patients were better conditioned, it was said that it was cured by Taoism, and some patients did not improve their condition, so they were called unbelievers and therefore ineffective. Over time, everyone thought that Zhang Jiao really had Taoist skills and worshiped him like a god.
Later, Zhang Jiao asked his disciples to travel all over the world to spread Taoism, and in more than ten years, the number of people grew to hundreds of thousands, covering the eight prefectures of Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan and Henan. In the end, most of these believers became Yellow Turban thieves, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept the world, although it was finally extinguished, but the local heroes continued to recruit and trade troops under the pretext of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which led to the current situation of division of the heroes.
No matter how high the status of the people of the Han Dynasty is, how knowledgeable they are, they have more or less awe of the ghosts and gods after all, Cao Pi put the reason for his intention to cultivate the paddy fields to the dream of Xiannongtuo, whether Ren Jun believes it or not, he will not say anything, maybe Cao Pi really dreamed of something to ask for a paddy field on a whim, but Ren Jun believes that his nephew will soon lose interest in farming, after all, dreaming is one thing, and really doing things is another, this kind of rough work is very hard.
At that time, Ren Jun didn't say anything, but invited Cao Pi and Dianman to sit down, and instructed his subordinates to prepare lunch, in fact, the poor people in the Han Dynasty only ate two meals, that is, breakfast and dinner, because Ren Jun was busy with the affairs of Tuntian, and sometimes missed lunch time, but today it is rare for his nephew to come over, so he naturally wants to keep him for a meal.
Because Ren Jun doesn't eat lunch often, the chef in the house will not prepare anything in advance, and this lunch will naturally not have too many exquisite dishes, except for a roasted whole sheep cooked in Hu Fa, which is some salt vegetables. Cao Pi also knows that there is nothing to pay attention to in these years, the meat soup is already exquisite food, although the roasted whole sheep is not comparable to the later mutton skewers, but also eats, of course, to entertain Cao Pi, Ren Jun still has some rice, the Central Plains and the northern region, rice is a rare thing, it is spring, the season of sowing, this rice should be stored in the granary of the old rice, but there is rice to eat is already good.
Like the Zhong family's rice, the rice produced in Juntun is short, coarse, non-sticky, and should belong to the japonica rice subspecies, Cao Pi is satisfied with this finding, and the yield of hybrid rice between subspecies is 30% higher than that of hybrid rice between varieties.
After the meal, Ren Jun said goodbye to Cao Pi, saying that he was going to continue to inspect the military tun, Cao Pi returned to the front of the house after a ride, and told Chen Sanlang that the paddy field and the selection of people must be done within two days, and then handed over the statue of Xiannong to Chen Sanlang, and asked him to build a Xiannong altar on the edge of the selected paddy field, and then left with Dianman.
On the way back to Xudu, Dianman, who was leading the horse, suddenly said: "Childe, after returning home, I will go to Sikong Mansion to find out who the surname Chen is, and I will report back to Childe after I am done." ”
"Oh, good. Boying, you should have a place to live in Xudu, right? ”
"The servant's residence is in the east of the outer city of Xudu."
"Hmm.... You are my guard, you should vacate a house for you in my courtyard, fortunately, the side houses in my courtyard are uninhabited, you can choose one to live in, but you have to make your own things for this day, my son is penniless. ”
"Childe's words are serious, the little servant has now been given the title of Lang Zhongling, there are 1,000 stone squirrels, distributed in December, half money and half grain, the little servant is the son's guard, then these assets are the assets of the son, and the son can take it."
Lang Zhongling is actually an official position in the palace, in addition to the three dukes and some generals in the Han Dynasty (such as the auxiliary generals who served before Fu Wan) have the right to open the mansion, the prince can also open the mansion, the prince of the Han Dynasty can be crowned king when he is an adult, and the opening of the palace naturally needs to have a subordinate, Lang Zhongling is the position of the prince in charge of all the men, as for which Lang Zhongling of the palace is full of pawns, Cao Pi doesn't care, it is nothing more than the Lang Zhongling of a certain palace surnamed Liu, saying that it is a person in the palace, and it is still issued by Cao Cao, It's just an official position for Dian Man to receive a salary, otherwise I'm sorry for Dian Wei's desperate guards.
"It turns out that Bo Ying is still Lang Zhongling, so why don't you bring a crown?" is an official anyway, how can he show his identity without a hat? Let everyone know that the current eldest prince of Cao Mansion is the commander of Wang Fu Lang, so he will be treated the same as the prince!
"I was sealed after the crown ceremony yesterday, and I didn't have time to make the crown, so I have already asked someone to make it."
"I see!" Cao Pi suddenly realized that Cao Cao must have sealed the official position immediately after the completion of the crown ceremony, but the palace errand was awkward after all, no matter how high he was, he was still a high-level slave, and sooner or later this pawn was to be transferred, so Cao Cao asked the sergeant to tell Cao Pi that he was not allowed to join the army, and could only take the route of the palace guard and the official position in the Three Dukes' Mansion.
"Childe, that general is a big man, I heard that the grain and grass, horses, and weapons of the three armies are all in charge of General Ren, and he is well versed in the way of the game, and the sages of the four major families of Yingchuan are not his opponents, only Sikong can win, but during the banquet, General Ren is very admiring the way of playing against Gongzi, which shows that Gongzi is clever in playing chess." Dianman was sincerely amazed.
Bo is unique in the world, Bo refers to chess, Yi refers to Go, a trace of this sentence is that chess is very popular, Go is very small, this is also the current situation of the Han Dynasty, the rules of chess are clear, the chess pieces and chessboard are more concise than Go, it is easier to get started, it is very popular among the peddlers and pawns, but the rules of Go are complicated, the chessboard and chess pieces are more than chess, it is more complicated to play, although it is difficult to play both kinds of chess to the highest level, but the threshold of Go is still higher than that of chess after all, Therefore, those who play Go are members of social classes with relatively high status and high culture, such as Ren Jun, Cao Cao, Ma Rong, etc.
It's like the rich people of later generations prefer to play golf rather than gateball, bigger and taller. Dian Man said that the meaning of this was very clear, and he was also interested in Go, so Cao Pi was as good as flowing: "Bo Ying wants to learn, and I will teach him." ”
Dian Man turned around and thanked him, Cao Pi smiled and waved his hand, let him continue to lead the horse, Xu Ducheng, was already in sight.
