Chapter Seventy-Three: The Stratagem Continues
The next day, Cao Pi was still having breakfast, and Dianman had already come to the courtyard, and asked about Hu Nu, who said with a smile: "That Hu boy is very honest, he ate a lot of meat soup, and went to sleep, and now he is driving him, I'm afraid he won't leave."

Cao Pi nodded, knowing that for slaves, having enough to eat was already the greatest gift.
After breakfast, Cao Pi asked Dianman to go to the stable of Caofu to lead his horse out, and then got on the horse and went to Ren Jun's mansion. Ren Jun's mansion was in a street closer to the inner city in the outer city of Xudu, where the "other" Cao Pi had been before Cao Pi had crossed. After all, they were one of the first people to follow Cao Cao, and they were relatives, so it was not strange for them to visit each other.
In memory, although Ren Jun's mansion is very large, it is not as luxurious as Xiahou Yuan's mansion, but it is very simple, for Ren Jun, who is equivalent to the Minister of Logistics, such a mansion cannot be called his identity.
When riding a horse and walking on the street, Cao Pi noticed something unusual, as long as the people in the capital saw him, they would stop and watch, and at the same time there was a lot of discussion.
"This person...."
"O son of Sikong! My husband is a personal guard of Caofu, and he and his husband identified me at the door of the Chen family's grain store that day! ”
"I heard that he planted much more rice than ordinary corn, and one acre of land can harvest more than two acres of ordinary corn!"
"Ah~ I've heard about it too, so can we all eat rice in the future? My husband was a merchant in Jingzhou, and the people there all ate rice, and only those who were so poor that they ate corn. ”
"What kind of place is that in Jingzhou! Growing rice is the same as planting grass, you can eat it naturally, and the rice harvest here is not as good as 70% of corn in the past, and you will starve to death if you eat rice! ”
"I heard that Sikong has asked Gongzi to take care of farming, and next year, there should be a lot of rice sold on the market, and when the price is low, you can eat it."
"What a blessing! Sikong Gongzi is really not an ordinary person, and the rice he grows grows better than others. ”
"I heard that it was Sikong's diligent government and love for the people that moved the heavens, so the immortals entrusted their dreams to Sikong's son and taught him the method of planting rice, so that there was such a harvest."
"Since Sikong is diligent in government, why don't you give your dream to Sikong, but to his son?"
"You're stupid! How can you have the leisure to farm? Sikong's son is still young and talented, so he naturally gave his dream to his son. ”
"If I can eat rice next year, my family will be offered to the gods of Sikong and Gongzi."
"Me too!"
"You must be able to eat, can't you see where Sikong Gongzi is going?"
"General Ren Lang's Mansion!"
"Yes! If this alley is gone, there will be a big family of Ren Langjiang, how can other people go! ”
"Thankfully! When Gongzi went to Lang Jiang's mansion, he must have gone to talk about farming. ”
"I heard that the matter of the son's position was also played by the group of officials who came back from Chang'an."
"Yes, he is a fool. The **** saw it on the soil bun opposite Juntun, the rice flowers in the paddy field are like clouds, there are many of them, how can there be any fallacies to confuse the public. ”
"The old men from Chang'an have no worries about food and clothing, so they like to have nothing to do, regardless of the life and death of the people."
"Yes! If it weren't for these masters coming to Xudu, my family would not have to repair the city wall every day, and it would be a day to play farm tools at home. ”
"Hey, Uncle Zhang said carefully."
"Why, can you still catch me? Then catch it, the old man is old and tired. ”
“.............”
Listening to the discussion all over the street, Cao Pi knew that he had already had some reputation in the hearts of the people of Xudu, and the people were already dissatisfied with the old ministers who returned to the east, although I don't know if these rumors were spread by people with intentions or spread by themselves, but things are always developing in a good direction, and when the harvest next year comes, it will also be a bumper year for him Cao Pi.
When he came to Ren Jun's mansion, he saw that Ren Xian and a young man a few years older than him were already waiting at the gate of the mansion, and when he saw Cao Pi coming, the young man stepped forward first and said: "Ren Lan, Ren Boying and his brother Zhong Ying are here to welcome the son on the order of their father." ”
Ren Lan is Ren Jun's eldest son and is currently the captain of the middle base battalion of the Northern Army. Belongs to the Northern Army under the command of Li Dian, when the army goes out, in addition to the southern army in the palace, only the middle base battalion will be stationed in Xudu, responsible for guarding all year round, Ren Lan has this important task, which is enough to prove that Cao Cao has the surname Ren of the Ren family.
"Brother Bo Ying, you're polite, Brother Zhong Ying, polite." Cao Pi dismounted and greeted the two.
With his brother here, Ren Xian said even less, and only said to Cao Pi: "The son is polite." ”
At this time, there were subordinates who led the horses for the pawn, and the four of them immediately entered the Ren Mansion and went straight to the main hall, Cao Pi saw Ren Jun wearing a robe, and immediately said: "Uncle is polite." ”
Ren Jun stepped forward to hold up Cao Pi and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since my nephew played against my uncle. ”
"In the future, my nephew will be in the military camp for a long time, and my uncle can play with my nephew at any time."
Ren Jun laughed, and then beckoned everyone to sit down, let the people serve fruit and wine, Zhengrong said: "I have seen the rice planted by the virtuous nephew, and it can indeed be used for seeding, planting in the coming year, my Juntun is under my jurisdiction, and Mintun is under the jurisdiction of Zaoyi, after Sikong ordered, Juntun and Mintun as long as it is a place to plant rice, are controlled by the virtuous nephew, and the manpower and agricultural tools, to the virtuous nephew asked for the first, I have discussed with Zaoyi, as long as the virtuous nephew has a request, inform my son Zhongying, regardless of the military tun, Mintun, All are to follow. ”
Cao Pi immediately bowed his hand and said: "With my uncle's full support, the next year will definitely be full of rice." ”
Ren Jun waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just that there is one more thing in the middle, yesterday the Son of Heaven sent a temple man with the edict of the Son of Heaven, and asked me for a stone of rice, saying that the Son of Heaven was curious about this thing and wanted to play with it, I gave the temple people a thousand dollars, and I knew that this rice was wanted by the Queen Fu, I was worried that she was going to give the Fu family seeds, a stone of seeds, sowing it, at least it was the harvest of a hundred acres of fertile land, and the seeds had seeds, and the Fu family naturally earned a full warehouse, I asked the temple people to wait for a while, and sent Boying to inform Sikong, but Sikong smiled and said that it was okay, but let her take itBo Ying asked the reason, but Sikong said, 'Ask my son to know.' 'I wonder if my nephew can explain his doubts?' ”
Queen Fu...... Cao Pi thought of the actions of the old ministers who returned to the east, and then smiled: "I'm afraid it's not that I want the Fu family to make a full profit, but to plant this kind of seed and then distribute it to Dong Cheng, Wu Shuo, Kong Rong, and even Yang Biao's Hongnong Yang family." As long as these families have grown high-yield rice, then the so-called immortal dream preaching will be self-defeating, and it will even be said that the Son of Heaven is the one who has been guided, and I am just the first to try planting with the guidance of the Son of Heaven. ”
Ren Junse changed his face and said: "This group of people just played a copy of the son, and they did this trick again!" It's really...."
Cao Pi waved his hand and said with a smile: "This kind of means is issued by the edict of the Son of Heaven, and we are really not able to pursue it, but well, no one can take away the things given by this immortal, even if there are seeds, it will not help." So don't worry. ”
This means one after another! Now Lao Tzu really hopes that you will send the edict quickly, otherwise I can send it on your behalf! I thought as I spoke.
