Chapter 54: Leisure
94 Chapter 54 Idle
In the middle of the year, when Zhejiang is closed, the city of Xuzhou is busy
In the past few years, although the people of Xuzhou are not living in dire straits, but the usual life is not very good, first successive natural disasters, then the Yellow Turban rebellion, and then Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and other three-way princes of the competition, perennial war makes the people of Xuzhou tremble, for fear that one day will be implicated,,
But now. The people of Xuzhou could finally relax a little, and the general Cao Mengde defeated Xishu and LΓΌ Bu with one enemy and two and seized control of Xuzhou.
For the common people who have a meal but not a meal, who is the emperor and who is in power is really not so important. All they care about is the amount of taxes in the coming year and the amount of surplus food at home, and they obviously don't care about the conquest game of those in power, or they don't have that
Xuzhou. In the past three years, three assassins have changed, from the earliest Tao Gongzu, to Liu Xuande, Lu Fengxian, and now Chen Yuanlong, all of them have changed.
For the history of Tao Gongzu's Tao Thorn, the people of Xuzhou have always been grateful, and then Liu Xuande was good for his governance. It also left a good impression in the hearts of the people, for Chang Fengxian, to be honest, the people of Xuzhou did not have much impression of this person, because it was only Chen Gong and Chen Gongtai who governed Xuzhou at that time.
However. For today's thorn history Chen Yuanlong, the people of Xuzhou still have some curiosity, the Chen family was originally a great family in Xuzhou, in Xuzhou is quite famous, when the yellow scarf attacked, the Chen family also took out the food stored at home to relieve the people, so the people of Xuzhou are expected to Chen Deng Chen Yuanlong to serve as the assassin of Xuzhou, and guess whether this person can be worthy of this position when chatting after tea and dinner.
on this. Chen Deng was under a lot of pressure, because he was the first time to serve as a assassin, and he wanted to govern a place well and benefit the people. Therefore, he is diligent and diligent every day, and does not dare to slack off in the slightest.
But although Chen Deng said that he had been governing the people's livelihood with Tao Gongzu for a long time, he didn't have that experience for the history of assassination, what should I do?
Come and think about it. Chen Deng still felt that he should ask his teacher about this.
Chen Deng's teacher, most of the people in Xuzhou already know. Situ Jiang Shouyi of the Great Han Dynasty, this person governed a county town into a prosperous place such as the Great Han Jingshi in three or two years. The name of its good governance has long been spread by the word of mouth of merchants, and even desolate places such as Xiliang have begun to spread, not to mention Xuzhou, which has always been prosperous.
He also heard that his teacher used to be in charge of the government affairs of the two states, Chen Deng felt that it was not too late, and he should immediately ask the teacher for advice, so he hurriedly left the Assassin's Mansion and went to the Jiang Mansion.
Xuzhou Jiangfu. It is not as good as the Situ Jiang Mansion in Xudu. It was rebuilt by Cao Cao's personal order, and the degree of luxury was comparable to his own general's mansion, and there were some things that could not be built with money.
It is said that Chen Deng came to Jiang Mansion in a hurry, but he was stunned to see that Jiang Zhe was about to go out of the city with his wife and children, and secretly rejoiced, Chen Deng had to follow with a dead face, "
Xuzhou. To tell the truth, Jiang Zhe has the deepest feelings, firstly, Xuzhou is quite close to Jiang Zhe's residence in later generations, and secondly, Jiang Zhe met Xiu'er in Xuzhou at the beginning,"
November. The weather is getting colder, and it is not a good time to go out to play, but Jiang Zhe's wives also know that their husbands can't live in Xuzhou for long, so when Jiang Zhe talked about it, his wives happily agreed.
Driving the carriage, Jiang Zhe and his entourage casually found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, but he couldn't name the place anyway.
According to Jiang Zhe's meaning, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were very interested in taking more than 100 soldiers from the trapped camp to hunt in the mountains. And Jiang Zhe and the rest of the people began to get busy, saying that they had come to have a picnic
Chen Deng was not at all interested in what a picnic was, what he cared about was how to govern Xuzhou.
I casually folded a piece of bamboo, tied a piece of silk thread, used it as a fishing rod, found a lake at random, and sat on the ground without the slightest shelf.
Zhao Yun, who was guarding Jiang Zhe, looked at Jiang Zhe curiously. I was quite moved in my heart, and I also made a fishing rod like Jiang Zhe and fished with him, for Zhao Yun, who spent his childhood in martial arts, he had never enjoyed the fun of fishing.
Although Jiang Zhe doesn't like fishing very much, but there are no other activities he is interested in in this era, so do you want him to follow Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to the mountains to hunt?
But it is precisely because of this that Chen Deng was able to have free time to ask,,
"Teacher" is the same as Jiang Zhe and Zhao Yun, Chen Deng held the fishing rod in his hand and turned his head and asked, "Now that the war in Xuzhou has stopped and all kinds of waste are thriving, how to develop people's livelihood?" β
Xuzhou is a prosperous place, known as the "granary of the world", Jiang Zhe looked at the movement on the lake. said indifferently, "Grain is the top priority, if you want to prosper Xuzhou, you can only start from agriculture." Subsequently, it was the same as Xu Du to develop business. If you can't even eat, let alone other things? β
"What the teacher said, in a word, is just that the students don't know, how to encourage the people to farm?" Chen Deng asked curiously.
Seeing Ling'er beside her staring at her husband and looking at the lake, Jiang Zhenai handed her the fishing rod in her hand, and said with a smile, "Come, Ling'er, take it for Daddy." β
"Yes!" Ling'er was quite excited, paying more attention to the movement of the lake, but Jiang Zhe turned around. said to Chen Deng, "Encouraging the people to farm is nothing more than to improve their enthusiasm, what is enthusiasm? I ask you, do ordinary people have land in their hands? β
"I don't think about it" Chen Deng shook his head, and then said with some embarrassment, "Most of them are in the hands of the family."
"Hehe" Jiang Zhe smiled slightly, looked at Chen Deng and said, "How does your family deal with its farmland on weekdays?" β
If it were someone else, how could Chen Deng tell the truth? But it's your own teacher who asks the question, so that's a different story. I saw Chen Deng think about it, and said hesitantly, "The students are not very clear about this matter, most of them are in charge of Brother Sun, it seems that they are hiring people to farm,"
"How much does it cost?" Jiang Zhe asked.
"Remuneration?" Chen Deng's face was stunned, and he said with some embarrassment, "Although the students don't know the specifics, they also know that the remuneration is not low, and the monthly salary is enough to feed the employed people."
"Hehe" Jiang Zhe smiled slightly and said lightly, "That is to say, no matter whether the people do well or badly, do you want to have a monthly reward?" β
"This" Chen Deng hesitated and said hesitantly! "If the yield of rice grain is really high, my Chen family will have another reward, if the yield is low, and it is not because of natural disasters, my Chen family will have some deductions as punishment
Chen. As a great family in Xuzhou, he is still doing well, Jiang Zhe nodded, smiled and said, "Yuanlong must know a sentence, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward!" β
"What the teacher said! The student touched on it slightly, and this sentence seemed to be out of his own home. "Under the bait there will be dead fish; Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men" The teacher means, and then increase the remuneration? β
"It's good to raise your salary, but it's not my idea, I mean, why don't you rent your land to the people? Charge a certain amount of rent every year? β
Hearing this, Chen Deng's face was a little embarrassed.
Jiang Zhe understood that Chen Deng had not yet comprehended the mystery, and Ding Yan smiled and said, "Many years are no less. I don't know how well you have learned academically and I will test you, but suppose your family has a hundred acres of land, and you employ a hundred people for farming
"A hundred? There is no need for so much, Chen Deng said suspiciously.
"Suppose!" Jiang Zhe glared, and said in his heart that he hadn't seen him for a few years; Why is this student still so brainless?
"Hypothetical? Oh, it was Chen Deng who came to his senses, and said with an embarrassed face, "Student Meng Lang, please also ask the teacher to atone for your sins."
"Alright. Listen carefully." Shaking his head, Jiang Zhe continued, "Let's assume that each mu of fertile land can produce 200 pieces of rice and grain, and the remuneration of the employed people is 40 per year, excluding natural disasters and the loss of farm tools. Even if it is ten per mu, ask your family how much rice grain can be harvested! β
Chen Deng frowned, then smiled and said, "My family can harvest 15,000 catties of rice grain, teacher, don't underestimate the students,"
"Huh. Okay, I'll ask you again, and your family also has a hundred acres of land. However, this time it is not a hire, but a rent of five layers of production to a hundred people, and your family does not care about anything else, but at this time, the yield per mu is 400 Ask, how much can your family harvest rice grain? β
"So four hundred pounds? Isn't it two hundred pounds, uh? Even if the student saw Jiang Zhe's unkind eyes, Chen Deng smiled, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "But it is 20,000 catties" But the truth is not so, what the teacher means is that renting the land to the people can improve their enthusiasm? β
"Indeed it is". Jiang Zhe was still very relieved, and he was relieved that his student could understand what he said.
"The lights are good. It's just that," Chen Deng said, his face was embarrassed, and he said hesitantly, "It's okay for the student's family to say." However, the rest of the large and small families in Xuzhou may be difficult to do, according to the teacher's law, although the enthusiasm of the people has increased, but it has lost the interests of the family, so "
"Stupid!" Jiang Zhe frowned and said, "You only need to rent the land to the people, and you don't have to worry about anything else." Only according to the stratification of grain production, you calculate carefully, are you earning or losing?! β
"Daddy" Ling'er was so anxious that she tugged at Jiang Zhe's sleeve and said eagerly, "Yu'er" Yu'er,"
Jiang Zhe looked at it, only to see that the fishing line was shaking, and he knew that it was a big fish that was hooked, and said with great joy, "Ling'er, don't panic, wait for Daddy to come!" As he spoke, he took the fishing rod in Ling'er's hand, and after some competition, a big fish was finally very unwilling to be caught by Jiang Zhe.
"Haha. Seeing that it was indeed a big fish, Jiang Zhe laughed. Turning to Zhao Yun, he said, "Zilong, look." You" said halfway, but the words came to an abrupt end.
I saw that there were more than a dozen or twenty fish similar to Jiang Zhe's hands lying next to Zhao Yun, and they were beating unwillingly over there.
"Huh?" Zhao Yun lifted the fishing rod again, dropped a big fish and threw it aside, then turned his head and said suspiciously, "Mr. Zhaoyun?" What's the matter? β
Jiang Zhe opened his mouth and said flatly, "Well, keep working hard!" β
Not to mention that Zhao Yun was a little inexplicable, Chen Deng stared at the fish in Jiang Zhe's hand, and was struggling to understand the teacher's words. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he said with great joy, "Teacher." Students get it! β
"Oh?" Jiang Zhe handed the fish in his hand to Ling'er, made the girl giggle, and ran to Xiu'er with the fish in her arms, and then Jiang Zhe turned to Chen Deng and said, "Yuanlong, do you really understand?" β
I saw Chen Deng nodding and said solemnly, "Although the teacher's method seems to harm the interests of the family, it is a win-win situation after careful calculation, and it improves the treatment of the people on the premise of not harming the interests of the family. The development of Xuzhou's agriculture is indeed wonderful, but Xuzhou is afraid that there is not so much land to rent to the people,"
"Actually, in Xudu, I have already done this, and I don't see any objections from the families of Xudu" said lightly, Jiang Zhe said softly, "If there are people who have migrated here due to the disaster of war, they will be taken care of." As for the matter of the fields, you can encourage the people to open up the wasteland, and you will come forward, ah no, the Xuzhou government will come forward and tell them that if the wasteland is reclaimed, the first three years will be rent-free, and the rest of the things will be done according to this law, Yuanlong, do you understand? .
"Hmm!" Chen Deng nodded and said convincingly, "The teacher is knowledgeable, and Deng admires it very much, but the student is a stabbing at the beginning. I don't know much about it, so I hope the teacher will solve it. β
If it had been three years ago, Jiang Zhe would have been apprehensive, but now. He won't be so unbearable, after all, there was Wang Yun's careful teaching, and then there were Xun Yu, Xun Yu and other clever people to solve their doubts, why is the experience thousands of times stronger than when he was in Xuzhou?
That's why. Jiang Zhe was confident today, and said with a smile, "Come on, I'll explain your doubts to you one by one."
"Thank you, teacher!" Chen Deng's face was overjoyed, bowed his hand, and told Jiang Zhe all the problems encountered in governing the people's livelihood, and Jiang Zhe used his own understanding to solve Chen Deng's doubts.
With insights beyond two years in this era, Jiang Zhe said Chen Deng convincingly, and shouted "The teacher is a great talent."
It was nearly noon, and Chen Dengcai regretted going back with Jiang Zhe and Zhao Yun, and at this moment, he gave way. The trapping camp of the hunt also returned to the station.
Looking at the prey they brought back, Chen Deng was shocked, it is needless to say that pheasants, mountain rabbits, etc., to Chen Deng's surprise, even mountain wolves, wild boars and other fierce beasts were among them, and even worse, a soldier in the camp actually carried a bear back
Then it was natural to get to the point, and after the prey was killed and cleaned up, everyone lit a few bonfires and distributed the roasted food.
Jiang Zhe and his wife took some rabbits, pheasants and other meat, and put them on branches to roast.
Not to mention that Ling'er stared at the meat in her hand anxiously and swallowed saliva, even Mi Zhen was a little anxious. Some can't wait for their husbands to roast unhurriedly, and can't wait to win it.
Xiu'er was very familiar with this matter, when she lived with Jiang Zhe that day, the rice and grain at home were sometimes cut off, and Xiu'er was reluctant to kill the laying hens behind the hospital to satisfy her hunger, so she took advantage of Jiang Zhe's inattention and went up the mountain to hunt some meat back, at that time, the two of them ate like this,
Looking at the raging fire, Xiu'er's eyes were a little confused, and she snuggled into the arms of her husband and muttered, "Husband." It's been three years,"
"Huh." doting on Xiu'er, Jiang Zhe pretended to be surprised and said, "It's only been three years, and my husband thought that it had been more than ten years with Xiu'er."
"Oops! Small. Xiu'er sneered, and turned her head to look left and right. When he saw the member in Cai Yan's arms, he calmed down and muttered, "I don't know how long this kind of life can last, the concubine understands that her husband cares about the people of the world, and she really doesn't restrain her husband, but"
"Xiu'er" Jiang Zhe took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, lowered his head and kissed Xiu'er's earlobe, and said with a chuckle, "If you don't turn it over, the meat will be mushy!" Xiu'er's face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly turned over the skewers in her hand, and then glanced at her husband with disgust.
Jiang Zhe laughed, hugged Xiu'er and said softly, "The people of the world, now they have Meng De to work hard, for the leisure of the husband, in the heart of the husband, you wait is the most important."
"Hee-hee. Xiu'er chuckled, Xiu'er rolled her eyes, and asked softly slyly, β» One is in the husband's mind. Is it the concubine body that is the most important, but the bad is Zhaoji's sister, and she is also ashamed of Wan Zhen'er's sister? β
Jiang Zhe smiled slightly, kissed Xiu'er's earlobe and said, "It should have been said to be equally important, but I think they also know." In the heart of the husband, she is the most important thing
Xiu'er was slightly stunned, obviously a little distracted, covered her red lips lightly, and said softly, "Husband Liu Qing, I'm afraid that the concubine will be difficult to repay in this life."
"Don't talk nonsense" Jiang Zhe stroked Xiu'er's long hair softly, and said with a chuckle, "Xiu'er's kindness, it is difficult to repay it for her husband" He was referring to himself.
"That's the duty of a concubine" Xiu'er quietly wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, looked at Jiang Zhe obsessively and said, "It's a great luck that the heavens called the concubine to meet her husband."
"Lucky for what?" Jiang Zhe said with a smile, "I remember that my husband told you to faint that day."
"Oops" Seeing Jiang Zhe mention the events of the day, Xiu'er's face turned crimson, and she handed the skewers in her hand to Jiang Zhe. Jiao said angrily, "In the future, you are not allowed to mention the shame of the concubine."
"That's a shame thing" Okay, don't mention it, don't mention it. Jiang Zhe said a word, took it with a smile, and suddenly heard a soft snort beside him, then turned his head, and happened to see Mi Zhen with a bitter face, hesitantly looking at the meat in her hand, and then at the meat. It has long been baked to the ground.
As if knowing that someone was looking at her, Mi Zhen turned around and saw Jiang Zhe, and said slyly in a blink of her eyes, "Husband, cold, just say and hand the charred meat in your hand to Jiang Zhe."
Looking at the miserable string of meat, Jiang Zhe said with a twitch on his face, "Thank you, I can't eat it" Before he finished speaking, he saw Ling'er running to his side, pulling his sleeve and saying aggrievedly, "Daddy, it's mushy" As he spoke, he took out a string of meat from behind him, which was on par with the one in Mi Zhu's hand.
Looking at this big and small, Xiu'er chuckled, even Cai Yan covered her mouth and snickered, Jiang Zhe said helplessly, "Okay, you go and rest, I'll bake it for you!" β
Giving the skewered meat given by Xiu'er in his hand to Ling'er, Jiang Zhe got up and took some meat, and roasted it on the bonfire.
And Xiu'er took over her child from Cai Yan's hands, laughed at him, and glanced at Xiu'er with some envy.
The melodious sound of the piano complements the landscape of this place, and everyone here is intoxicated by such beautiful music.
"The piano skills of the second master, Deng is also too late" Chen Deng, who was sitting in the distance, praised lightly, and then silently threw the charred meat in his hand into the bonfire.
"It's really Xianle" Zhao Yun nodded in admiration, and took a bite of the skewered meat he baked, so that Chen Deng couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly, and stepped forward and whispered to Xiao "Zilong, there is something to inquire about"
"Oh?" Zhao Yun glanced at Chen Deng suspiciously, nodded and said. "Yuan Long said that as long as it is within the reach of the clouds, there should be nothing to hide"
I saw that Chen Deng was quite embarrassed and pointed to the skewered meat in Zhao Yun's hand, and said hesitantly, "Zilong, how can I bake this thing?" β
"This?" Zhao Yun raised the barbecue in his hand, frowned and said suspiciously, "Although it is the first time that Yun has been roasted like this, but" Isn't it difficult?" The gentleman said it needed to be turned over," he said. He took a string of raw meat, rolled it through the fire with one hand at great speed, and after a moment took it out and said, "Look"
Just looking at the fragrant barbecue, Chen Deng wanted to speak and stopped, nodded and said, "I heard that the teacher said that Zilong has practiced marksmanship for ten years."
"At that time, I practiced marksmanship" Zhao Yun shook his head, recalled, and said with a smile on his face, "It's the method of using guns that I have practiced for ten years, and that's basic." If there is no teaching of the father of the day, there should be no Zhao Zilong today
"Oh? Is that the case? Chen Denghu asked suspiciously, quietly took the skewered meat roasted by Zhao Yunxin, and thanked him. Then he asked very curiously, "Can you talk to Deng, Deng is very curious?"
Glancing at his hand, and then at Chen Deng, who had an extremely expectant expression, Zhao Yun said with a slight smile. "It's not impossible to say this, since Yuanlong wants to hear it, Yun Nai said it from the beginning"
"That's great!" Chen Deng said with a smile, poured a bowl of wine from the wine jar and handed it to Zhao Yun.
And beside them, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao are not like Chen Deng, they are already familiar with this matter, and they don't care much about whether the meat is burnt or not, and the two of them are drinking to their heart's content.
As for the two or three hundred soldiers in the camp, they were even more elated. Although it is not as wild as the tiger and leopard camp, there are still gladiatorial fights in addition to wine and meat.
I saw them gathered together, and among them were the two soldiers in the trapping camp in the gladiatorial fight, and all the soldiers around them cheered for the two of them.
Later, even Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, etc., were idle, playing with the soldiers, and even more. Zhang Liao is also determined to compete with Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun couldn't refuse, so he had to go on the field to compete with Zhang Liao, but since it was a competition, and it was not a life-and-death fight, the two generals had a little bit of hands, and the guns came to look at the soldiers, looking at the soldiers in the trapped camp around them.
After more than two hundred times, Zhang Liao finally ran out of strength. After being defeated, looking at Zhao Yun's face at this time, he was only slightly red and a little gasp.
Ignoring the frolic of the generals, Jiang Zhe and his wives sat behind the carriage and chatted after the wind, Chen Deng, because he was a literati, he was not easy to get along with those who practiced martial arts, so he relied on Jiang Zhe's side, but. He had an excuse to stay."
"I wonder what the teacher has to say about the current situation?"
Rather depressed, he glanced at Xiu'er, causing Xiu'er to giggle. Jiang Zhe said to Chen Deng with a straight face, "I'll test you on this matter!" β
How do you know that Chen Deng has already become a bamboo in his chest, as if he knows that Jiang Zhe will ask, and said with a smile, "According to the student's opinion, if there are only those who can match Cao Gong today, only Yuan Benchu in the north, Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou, and Ma Shoucheng in Xiliang." The rest is not to worry about: although Liu Jiyu sits in Yizhou, he does nothing, and in the name of his father, Zhang Xiu in Guanzhong does not need to say, he wants to come to Cao Gong to attack him in the next year."
"What about Koto?" With a move in his heart, Jiang Zhe suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Chen Deng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I want the teacher to know about Sun Bofu as well?" This person is rumored to have the courage of Lu Fengxian, and he is assisted by many famous people from the family, but according to the students' observations, this person is now from a family, and he should be burdened by the family in the future."
Sun Ce, "Not dead yet?" Jiang Zhe asked in surprise.
"Huh?" Chen Deng was stunned for a moment, but Jiang Zhe was even more surprised, and asked in amazement, "What the teacher said, the student is very puzzled, why does this person want to die?" β
"No" doesn't it mean that Sun Ce died young? Isn't the time yet up? Jiang Zhe was a little puzzled, and was about to speak, but he saw several horses hurrying in the distance, and shouted loudly.
"Lord Situ, Duke Xu Cao has an urgent report!"
The faces of everyone in the laughter and chatting changed slightly, and they all hesitated to look at their husbands, which made Jiang Zhe's face bitter.
You can't tell me to go back to Xudu, right? I've only been in Xuzhou for a month."
