At the beginning of October 203 AD, Bingzhou ushered in a bumper harvest, and the treasury of various places was full, and the grain hoards of every household were full. People everywhere worship the god of grains and the leader, and at the same time celebrate the harvest, when the seeds are sown, they can guard the harvest of grain and spend the winter leisurely.

At the end of the month, the full moon banquet of Gaofu was grandly opened in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Congratulations to the lord, happy son!" Since the sun rose, Gao Yuan has not been idle, and he has been visiting him wave after wave, and those who have come early are all his own people.

Like Sima Yi and others, they are really happy, and they are even happier than having a son. The lord has an heir, which is quite significant. This means that the entire force headed by Gao Yuan will have successors, and there will be no phenomenon of a flash in the drought.

For those who are attached to Gao Yuan, there is no need to worry about the future, even if Gao Yuan is hiccup now, his subordinates are also effectively loyal to the object, and the power will not disperse, so the people's hearts are strengthened and the foundation is thicker.

When the news came out, the people on the land of Shanxi spontaneously organized, sang and danced, and celebrated together.

Officials from all over the country also came to congratulate them.

"Congratulations to the prime minister, happy to have a noble son." Hundreds of officials also came to congratulate.

For a time, hundreds of officials gathered in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and high-ranking officials and dignitaries gathered together. All kinds of gifts are piled up, it is really full of gold and jade, jewelry, and ordinary gifts are not on the table.

In the past, Gao Yuan did not accept gifts, but this time, it was an exception. As for these valuable things, it is not because the officials are corrupt and rich, but because Gao Yuan implements a high salary policy.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is draped in red everywhere, filled with a festive atmosphere.

Many grassroots officials, who were not qualified to attend the banquet, only sent gifts. Just put on your name and go. Coming from a high posterity, unlike these people in the world, they can't discourage the enthusiasm of their subordinates, and whether a force is strong or not depends on the leaders at the grassroots level. So a command was handed down to all who came to congratulate. All of them were seated regardless of grade.

This made the grassroots officials who arrived very happy, and they were all excited and loyal.

Therefore, seats were set up everywhere in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the whole was full.

In the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are the three princes and nine secretaries of the imperial court. Originally, Gao Yuan planned to arrange for Sima Yi, Xu Shu and others to be here, but they were opposed.

"Congratulations to the Prime Minister ......."

After Fu Wan, Yang Biao and others gave a congratulatory speech, and said that the emperor has not yet been there. It's two of them all at once, hey~, this is fate.

Gao Yuan alone has two fat boys, and his mouth can't be closed, so his mood is naturally needless to say. After drinking a few glasses with Sangong Jiuqing here, he went to various places in the house to toast.

It seems that Sima Yi and Xu Shu can still deal with it freely, and the grassroots officials didn't expect the prime minister to toast back and forth, and they were all excited. Between kneeling and bowing in excitement, I don't know how many cases have been overturned.

Then. Gao Ya came to report, "My lord, there are people outside the house to congratulate, you see, how to deal with it?" ”

Gao Yuan was very happy when he heard it, which showed that he had a place in the hearts of the people. The work on weekdays was not done in vain, and he was recognized by the people, so he hurriedly tidied up his clothes and waved his hand: "Hurry up, you can't let the people wait." Let's take a look. ”

Most people just thought that Gao Yuan would send someone out to send him away, but he didn't expect to go in person, and they were shocked one by one.

Fu Wan, Yang Biao and other high-ranking officials shook their heads again and again, saying in their hearts that we are all noble people, and accepting congratulations from these lowly people is not a pollution of nobility.

However, Gao Yuan's descendants showed admiration. Gao Yuan did not hesitate at all, he went to meet the people, and tidied up his clothes, from these small things, it can be seen that Gao Yuan really pretended to be the people in his heart, not pretending to be famous.

"Since ancient times, there is only one person who has been so close to the people!"

"The world is ...... for those who win the hearts and minds of the people."

Sima Yi and the others also hurriedly followed.

Outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, the streets were densely packed with people, and there were so many people who arrived that the guards just blocked the streets.

The people also knew that it was not good to swarm in the past, so they spontaneously organized themselves and selected a dozen respected old men and asked to go to congratulate them.

Therefore, when Gao Yuan left the house, he saw twelve old people, gray-haired, and honestly afraid.

Gao Yuan hurriedly walked down the steps, took the first salute, and said, "It is really too far to alarm all the old people." ”

The ordinary voices of the countryside came from the mouth of the noble prime minister, which made the old people who came excited.

I saw these old people, several of them holding the umbrella of the people, which shows that they are here on behalf of the people.

"I wish the prime minister all blessings, and the future generations will enjoy the blessings of the ......." The old men trembled and fell to the ground, and then they took something out of their bosoms, raised it above their heads, and presented it.

For Gao Yuan, Wanmin's congratulations were much heavier than the congratulations of hundreds of officials, and his heart was warm. It was taken in the hands of an old man, and it turned out to be a long-life lock, with Fu Lu Shou written on it, glowing with bronze luster.

After Fu Wan and the others saw it, they couldn't help but scoff, and said that they could take it if they said that it was broken.

The old people seemed to hear it, and they were very ashamed, and the first one hurriedly explained: "Prime Minister, this is the intention of our village. I know I can't compare to the golden jade ...... of adults. When the old man said this, he was firm, "There is a good harvest this year, and we have all said that we will make a piece of ...... in the coming year." ”

Gao Yuan's face was serious, and he stopped the old man's words, he knew what the old man was going to say next. The people took out their savings to celebrate him, and he was very moved, how could he hate the poor and love the rich. This copper longevity lock, in Gao Yuan's eyes, is more valuable than the gold and jade jewelry of hundreds of officials, which is the heart of the people.

He gently stroked the longevity lock, and took several pieces in his arms in a row, and held up this precious gift full of people's hearts, and said loudly: "This is the best gift that the son of Benxiang has ever received. When he is sensible, he will let him know that it is not his appearance that raised him, but thousands of hard-working people who raised him. ”

"Prime Minister ......." Hearing these sincere words, the old people wept.

Fu Wan and the others were very embarrassed.

Xu Shu and others were excited.

"Long live the Prime Minister!" The people shouted from their hearts, and the whole city was plunged into a sea of cheers.

Gao Yuan also knew that many representatives of the people had arrived from all over the country, so he set up seats on the street to receive the people from all over the country for three days and three nights.

After Fu Wan and the others saw it, they couldn't help but complain, "Prime Minister, this is too benevolent and righteous, and he invited the untouchables to eat with the money that His Majesty used to build the palace." ”

However, Gao Yuan would not care about this, he would rather not eat himself, but also let the people have enough to eat. After experiencing this incident, Gao Yuan's prestige in the hearts of the people skyrocketed, and his rule was consolidated.

And Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and other chivalrous people are all gearing up and swearing to serve the lord to the death.

However, the joy is always short-lived, and when the snow falls in November, Takato has to face a great problem.

It was he who was blocked by Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shaofeng mobilized heavy troops to come to the border between Jizhou and Bingzhou, and Cao Cao in Luoyang did not move, Gao Yuan felt that the situation was very serious. (To be continued......)
