Chapter 146: Garrison Liyang
Hearing Cao Pi's praise, Jia Xu said with a smile: "Gongzi praises, now this Yuan Xi should still be in the land of Youzhou, and his wife is in Yecheng, now it is a time of war, Yuan Xi can't bring his son to Youzhou, as long as Yecheng is broken, this marriage can be carried out, sooner rather than later." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Cao Pi nodded and said, "What Mr. said is very true. However, it is still too early to say this matter, and it is not in the hands of you and me when this city will be breached, so it is wonderful to slowly figure it out, but in the future, this army's Chinese book exchange has to manage the affairs of the scribes. ”
Jia Xu laughed and said: "Back then, under Zhang Xiu's command, he was in charge of this matter, and the son can be relieved, and the subordinate will definitely live up to the trust." ”
After a secret conversation, the two of them were busy with their own affairs, after Jia Xu came, Cao Pi relaxed a lot, taking advantage of this time, Cao Pi opened and read the letter sent by the pawn, probably his own production in Yanzhou, Yuzhou manor, since there was a burning knife, Cao Pi's money earned a lot of money, those five baht money in addition to leaving daily expenses and housekeepers, craftsmen, tenants in addition to the wages of all exchanged for gold, of course, this is also Cao Pi's instructions, after all, there are still many days to make money in the future, not as soon as possible to change to gold, Cao Pi was worried that his house could not fit so much five baht. It's impossible to put the money in separate estates.
At the end of March of this year, Cao Cao sent good news, Liyang was broken by Cao's army, Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang's army was defeated by Cao Cao, and retreated to Yecheng, Cao Cao ordered to pursue the victory, preparing to enter Jizhou with the vast Jizhong Plain, Yecheng, which is the largest city in Jizhou, belongs to Wei County. It is also the place where Cao Cao later garrisoned, and then Cao Cao was named the king of Wei, and Cao Pi inherited the throne and then established the country on behalf of the Han Dynasty, and the country name was Wei State, which was derived from Wei County.
Attached to the back of the good news is a military order, let Cao Pi take the people to leave the cangting, enter Liyang, and store the grain and grass baggage in Liyang, as the granary for Cao's army to enter the Jizhou Plain, now Liyang only Li Dian with 2,000 people stationed, there is enough space to place the grain and grass baggage, plus Liyang This place is the endless Taihang Mountain Range on one side, and the flat North China Plain on the other side, not only the terrain is precipitous, but also there is enough flat land to camp, which can accommodate Cao Pi's huge grain transportation team.
After receiving the military order, Cao Pi immediately summoned Jia Xu and Xu Huang, ordered them to pack up in the main hall and set off within three days, and at the same time told Xu Huang to leave the two soldiers in the cangting to prevent someone from sneaking up behind the scenes.
After the two received the order, they completed their work very efficiently, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the third day, Cao Pi took the people, drove the baggage out of the cangting, and went towards Liyang, Liyang and Cangting are not too far apart, but because of too much baggage, it took five days to reach Liyang, Cao Pi's old acquaintance Li Dian had already received the report of the scout, and took the guards to meet Cao Pi ten miles away, and then let his deputy take Jia Xu and Xu Huang to plan the place where the people's camp was camped, and assist the people's husband to transport grain into Liyang for storage.
As for Cao Pi and Li Dian entered a mansion contributed by a local squire in Cangting, the two met in Cao Pi's house when Cao Pi was young, when Li Dian and Cao Pi played a game of Go, but Cao Pi was killed so that he couldn't find the north, and when Cao Pi just got two acres of paddy fields from Juntun, Li Dian sent him to plough cattle, speaking of which, Li Dian can be regarded as a person who got up early to invest in his feelings, so the atmosphere was very good when the two drank the banquet, and they all laughed and laughed when they talked about the things of the year.
You can't drink alcohol during the war, so the two of them drink honey syrup, but between eating and drinking, they will inevitably talk about wine, and when it comes to wine, Li Dian will inevitably mention Cao Pi's famous burning knife.
"The last general drank the burning knife on the New Year's of this year, only three times, and immediately smoked, and the feeling of the day and the earth turned extremely quickly, and then he fell asleep, and woke up in the middle of the night, and found that he had slept for two hours, and every time there was something troublesome in the future, the last general must come to burn the knife three times. It's just that it's hard to buy in Xudu's store, and you have to spend a lot of money to buy it in Luoyang and Xiapi, which is really troublesome. Li Dian said with a smile.
"Borrowing wine to drown sorrow is even more sorrowful, it is sold in limited quantities in my store, as for the Chen family's wine, it cannot be sold at the feet of the Son of Heaven, what I am afraid of is that the hundred officials in the court and the central government drink without moderation, and when the whole dynasty is drunk, who will govern the country?" Cao Pi said with a smile.
Li Dian slapped the table and laughed: "Holding Jinwu is wise!" If it is sold uncontrollably in Xudu, not to mention that the whole dynasty is drunk, it is drunk in the whole city, this wine is really too flavorful. However, there is a way to "strange goods can live", the Chen family's burning knives have been bought in Jingzhou, Bashu, and Guanzhong, but many people in these places think that what Gongzi sells in Xudu stores is authentic, and some of Xiaguan's fellow villagers who live in Xiangyang and Jiangling have sent letters to Xiaguan, asking when the store in Xudu will open in the coming year, and they will all come here to taste the authentic burning knives in the world. ”
Cao Pi was stunned and said, "What kind of fellow villagers are these?" There is such leisure and leisure. ”
"It is some of the fellow villagers who live in Jingzhou to avoid the war, these children of the family, seeing that the world is going to be chaotic, but they use what they have learned in their chests to set things right, but they take refuge in a corner of Jingzhou, and continue to live the leisurely days of hunting, chanting, writing, and drinking. Li Dian was obviously a little disdainful when he talked about his fellow villagers.
It's no wonder that he, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many rich people have gone to live in Jingzhou and Yizhou, which are relatively stable, and some even go to Jiaozhou in the extreme south to live.
Such a mentality must be difficult to accept and despise for a person like Li Dian who is fighting for the country. However, Cao Pi doesn't care too much about Li Dian's emotions, he cares about this group of people who are interested in his authentic store, there is no doubt that there should be many high-level talents among the people who are escaping the world, such as Zhuge Liang is escaping the world, and even Sima Yi has been hiding from the world for a while, although it is difficult to guarantee that these people can be attracted, but it is also a good thing to attract more readers, there are too few literate people in these years. And there's room for other uses.
"The opening date of each year is set after the autumn harvest, in early winter, but in the coming year, I should move to Yecheng to open a store, this store will have more wine than Xudu, General Li can inform his fellow villagers that they can come to Yecheng to buy wine in the coming year." Cao Pi said with a smile.
"Yecheng is not now"
"Spread the news first, next year, the son of Sikong, Zhi Jinwu will open a branch in Yecheng that is not drunk and does not need money, and if you have the courage, you will go north to Yecheng to buy wine." Cao Pi said with a smile.
