Chapter 22: The Old Teacher
Cao Pi has never come to Cao Pi since he met once that night, Cao Cao has never come to Cao Pi, but is busy preparing for the attack on Yuan Shao, originally Cao Pi thought that Cao Cao would soon go on the expedition, but he did not expect that the preparation of the army was not completed until September this year. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because Cao Pi did not have the channel to get more news from the court, it is not known who was clamoring on this matter, but I heard the news that Dian Man got from the market that Cao Cao sneered at the ministers who said that he wanted to change the general to conquer Yuan Shu and said: "You think you can unify the three armies, and you must be strong with wine and meat." ”
After saying this, the ministers of the DPRK and China looked at each other, and none of them stood up and said that they were willing to lead troops. It can be seen that Cao Cao's method of scattering those old soldiers who returned to the east into the Minfu, Mintun, and Juntun has worked, and generals like Dong Cheng no longer know where to find their old department, nor are they confident that the old department will listen to themselves, the most important thing is that the military camp is the establishment of veterans and people's husbands, and the weekday drills are not as good as the regular sergeants, and when they go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, they are looking for death, not to mention that the elite such as the tiger and leopard cavalry and the tiger guard battalion are Cao Cao's cronies, except for Cao Cao, no one can command.
With such a toss, Cao Cao was not in a hurry to attack Yuan Shu, but planned to carry out a conquest after the harvest, so this delay was in September.
As for Cao Pi, he still often went to Juntun to train Chen Sanlang and the five strong men in making chemical fertilizers, and at the same time, when planting seedlings in paddy fields, he had completed the sterilization of rice male flowers, he selected some strong seedlings of the Chen family, Zhong family and Juntun, and artificially sterilized the male flowers of these seedlings, resulting in these seedlings not being pollinated by themselves, and then selected some normal and robust seedlings to be planted next to these seedlings, so that they could complete pollination through wind media.
These sterilized seedlings and normal seedlings were planted by Cao Pi in the back of the Xiannong Altar, the area is not large, only 20 steps square, and there is no planting in front of the Xiannong Altar, but a vacant land is cleaned up for worship. Every day, there will be curling green smoke here, which is Chen Sanlang and others burning wormwood to worship the Xiannong altar. This practice made other people who cultivated the paddy fields in the military camp scoff, if it was useful to ask God, would they still need people to work? It is difficult for the people living at the bottom to see any miracles in the era of war and chaos, so they are very disdainful of Chen Sanlang's approach, I heard that it was a trick that the son of Sikong Mansion came up with, although he didn't say it, he was very criticized in his heart.
Ren Jun, the general of the Diannong Zhonglang, sometimes came to take a look, and when he saw the curling green smoke rising in front of the Xiannong altar in the middle of the paddy field every day, he also sighed secretly in his heart, and said in his heart that this nephew was really a bit excessive, and he didn't want to think about his nephew's unpredictable game methods, and said to himself in his heart, let's take a step at a time.
And now assigned to Cao Pi's jurisdiction of Chen Sanlang and the five strong men are also miserable, in addition to taking care of the paddy fields, every once in a while Sikong Gongzi came to teach them how to refine fertilizer, the son handed over, the entourage called Dianman came to supervise the work.
In Chen Sanlang's eyes, isn't this just feces! But Sikong Gongzi did let them toss the dung, soak it in a cauldron with water, burn it with fire, burn it with soil, and burn it with dry grass and trees, and when they burned, they had to watch the fire, when they added firewood, and at some point they had to water it, and the smell of water on the dried cow and horse dung was really ..... Chen Sanlang no longer knows how to describe it.
After burning, these dung should be stored in the warehouse, so that it can be used in the coming year, Chen Sanlang begged Dian Man to tell the son, the warehouse is used to store weapons, armor, food, there is really no place to put these boiled dung, that two days later, the strong man called Dian Man came again, smiled at Chen Sanlang, and said that Zhonglang will lose a few games of chess to Gongzi, and even out of more than a dozen warehouses.
This is not over, starting from June, the tenant farmer Zhonglang will lose again, I heard that this time Sikong Gongzi let Zhonglang will have three sons, so the stakes are bigger, the bet is: Zhonglang will lose, it is necessary to build a few urinals in the military tun, what does the urinary do? Naturally, it is filled with urine, Zhonglang will be very trustworthy, and immediately built a urine room in the military tun, the thing that contains urine is nothing else, but a large wooden barrel, there is a big cauldron outside the urine room, Chen Sanlang They have to pour the urine in the wooden barrel into the cauldron every day, and then boil it dry with fierce fire, after drying, the pot will stick to white or yellow particles, and Chen Sanlang Their task is to collect these particles, and then put them into the warehouse together.
This work has to be done every day, unlike boiling manure that can be accumulated to a certain extent and then done, Chen Sanlang and the five of them can't do it, so Sikong Gongzi went to play chess with Zhonglang again, although he won more this time, but Zhonglang General did not agree to Sikong Gongzi's request to be strong Ding 30 people, only gave 10 people, saying that the war is imminent, and the number of people is limited. However, this also made Chen Sanlang and others greatly relieved.
Although Chen Sanlang and the others were miserable, the new ten people were very happy and very motivated, because this time to help Sikong Gongzi do things means that they will not have their share in sending troops to fight against Yuan Shu after the autumn harvest, and if they can not go to the battlefield, it is equivalent to not having to put their heads on their belts, so what if they stink?
In September, the wind blows the leaves, and after the autumn harvest. Cao Cao led the army to pull out, went south to Jianghuai, and crusaded against Yuan Shu, who was called the emperor, on this day, Cao Pi listened to Xun Yue's lecture in the study, originally the Son of Heaven named the great sage Zheng Xuan as the great Si Nong, let him come to Xu Du to serve, the big Sikong is one of the nine Qing, under the jurisdiction of Sikong, and now Sikong is Cao Cao, don't think about it and know that this is due to Cao Cao's instructions, the news that came over there is that Zheng Xuan paid a birthday to the seal, and also set off to Xu Du, who knew that halfway through, and wrote that he was old and frail, and could not be qualified for the important position of Dasi Nong, and hit back to the house halfway.
Zheng Xuan is in the border of Hebei, where is Yuan Shao's territory, Cao Cao can't go to grab people, in desperation, he has to ask Xun Yue to continue to be Cao Pi's chair, this Xun Yue is not an ordinary person, but a person from the Yingchuan Xun family, is Cao Cao's right-hand man to help Xun Yu's brother, the official seal is in the service, the service is an idle position assigned by the emperor, although there is no real power, but he often accompanies the emperor, and has a great influence on the emperor, Xun Yue can get this position because he was lecturing for today's son, After the Son of Heaven returned to the east, Cao Cao also invited him to give lectures to his sons Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi, which also shows that Cao Cao's power is great, and the education enjoyed by his son is also the education enjoyed by the emperor.
Xun Yue's famous works include "Shen Jian" and "Chongde", the former on politics and the latter on morality. Xun Yue is forty-nine years old this year, and he has no complaints about Cao Cao's desire to replace Zheng Xuan with him, after all, Zheng Xuan's reputation is here, and he also wants to be the Son of Heaven's chair, Zheng Xuan is here, compared to other sons, he doesn't need him to teach, and he is happy, but now Zheng Xuan is not coming, he was called to be a chair again, and there is nothing to be unhappy about, because he also heard from Ren Jun that Cao Pi's chess game is superb, and he will play a game with Cao Pi on the first day of returning to school, and he was killed to lose his armor as a result of his good chess ability. I can't help but look at this commonplace boy with admiration, every time I finish a lecture in the future, I have to kill a game with Cao Pi, although he always loses, but watching Cao Pi's chess path is also a pleasure for him.
After lecturing on this day, Xun Yue asked again: "Childe, can you have a game of Yaxing?" ”
Cao Pi smiled: "Sir, please." ”
