Cai Wenji came to see Guan Yu at the moment, at this time she was 17 years old, she was in the flower season of a young girl, her fresh and refined temperament coupled with her vigorous breath and her slim figure, the whole person looked like people couldn't help but shine, a man's unique impulse suddenly rushed to Guan Yu's heart, seeing Cai Wenji's blood surging up and down, this feeling has not been felt for a long time, people who have achieved Guan Yu's level can be said to have read countless people, and he has seen a lot of people, especially women, There are really not many people who can give him a bright eye, but Cai Wenji did it, Guan Yu beckoned Cai Wenji to sit down, and said Cai Yong: "The little girl's Chu Chu is moving, slim, virtuous and generous, she is really a talented and beautiful woman!" ”

Cai Yong said humbly: "The prime minister has won the award!" Hehe! ”

Guan Yu immediately said: "What skills are the little girls good at?" ”

Cai Yong immediately beckoned Cai Wenji to show his specialty, Cai Wenji first showed Guan Yu her musical talent, I saw her pick up a piano and play, I saw her mastery, hand dancing and swaying, keep making a gesture, along with her gesture, a wonderful piano sound also began to emerge, this piece is rhythmic, modulated and frustrated, step by step and smooth, Guan Yu heard it amazingly, this piece made her play so perfect, as if it brought people into a good situation, so dreamy, people fell asleep and did not want to wake up, Guan Yu was so drunk when he heard it, he really responded to the sentence, "Listening to Junfu's song is better than reading a book for ten years".

When Cai Wenji finished the song, Guan Yu couldn't help but applaud and applauded: "Wonderful! It's wonderful! ”

Guan Yu's sudden applause made Cai Yan really surprised, and Cai Yong was also shocked and quickly calmed down: "Let the prime minister smile!" ”

"This song should only be heard in heaven and on earth! Give me three more songs! Guan Yu ordered.

Cai Wenji had to order: "No! Prime minister! Then he stroked the piano for Guan Yu.

In fact, as a modern person, Guan Yu is not very proficient in this kind of sound and color music in ancient times, he is just listening to pop songs in modern times, and he knows very little about this kind of sound and color music, and he has no popular songs to listen to in ancient times, so he can only passively choose this way of enjoyment. Gradually, he also had more cells for this method, and gradually integrated into it, and he could enjoy a lot of tunes to some extent, and gradually excavated the connotation of it, and later he found that this kind of music does have its uniqueness, and it also achieves a refreshing effect. And there is no shortage of touching tunes, and Guan Yu, who listened to Cai Wenji's tunes in Cai's Mansion today, has experienced the fun and connotation of this kind of music

Cai Wenji gave Guan Yu three songs in a row, Guan Yu couldn't stop listening to it, these three songs are three realms, bringing Guan Yu different enjoyment, but due to the time relationship, Guan Yu can only hear here, and then let Cai Yan show her talent in calligraphy and poetry, Cai Yan spread out the paper and held the brush and began to show her talent, her pen danced like a silver snake. The pen and ink are like walking dragons, swaying her calligraphy to the fullest, and after a while, a pair of official books jumped on the paper, although Guan Yu did not understand the art of this official calligraphy, but he still felt the shock brought to him by this strange culture through careful scrutiny, and he kept nodding frequently to show recognition.

Cai Wenji went on to show Guan Yu her talent for painting, and Guan Yu had a personal experience of painting compared to calligraphy. It was soon possible to distinguish the art in it, and Cai Wenji showed Guan Yu a landscape painting. In just ten minutes, this painting jumped on the paper, but I saw that this landscape painting is so realistic and poetic, very artistic, it is beyond the reach of ordinary people, Guan Yu stared at this landscape painting for a long time and really couldn't put it down! I couldn't stop admiring it. Sure enough, she is a rare talented woman, in such a short period of time, Guan Yu has personally experienced the strong shock that Cai Wenji brought him, it is the shock of that kind of art!

Cai Wenji is really a talented woman, this is a very rare woman who cultivates both inside and outside, Guan Yu immediately clapped and said: "Cai Zhonglang's little girl is so good." Such talents are of great use! I don't know if Cai Zhonglang is willing, if I can, I still lack a waiter under my command, I think the little girl can be in this position! ”

"Oops! Being able to do things under the Prime Minister is something that a little girl can't ask for! Why don't you hurry up and thank the Prime Minister? Cai Yong said as he said as Cai Yan said.

Cai Wenji bowed and thanked him: "Thank you Prime Minister for cultivation!" Little girls should do their best! ”

Guan Yu smiled after hearing this: "Hahahaha、、、、、、"

Guan Yu received Cai Wenji very happy in his heart, as a female talent, this is also a rare talent, but the most important thing is that he changed Cai Wenji's fate all of a sudden, in history she has a difficult fate, life is bumpy, repeatedly frustrated, in modern times Guan Yu is not full of emotion for Cai Wenji's experience, now he is reborn to change this situation for her, change her various unhappiness, let her fate change all at once, keep her by her side, as long as she does not collapse, her Cai Wenji's fate will always go on, 、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

Guan Yu has been worried about the lack of a secretary around him before, but he didn't expect this big thing in his heart to be solved so quickly, or it was solved before the reform, looking at the young people he personally promoted, Yang Xiu is young and promising, very capable and quick-witted, and has a big responsibility, especially in government affairs, which is very effective, and he likes it, and this time Guan Yu promoted Cai Yan to work beside him, playing the role of a secretary, in charge of some cultural affairs, focusing on culture, education and classic history. Cai Yan, a talented girl, can often play her favorite music for herself, adding some new fun to his life, Cai Yan is good at playing music, and Diao Chan is good at dancing. A dance outstanding and a performance wizard, such a combination is simply invincible in the world. Now Guan Yu finally completed his long-cherished wish, and three secretaries gathered around him at once, one is Yang Xiu to assist him in the work of government affairs, this kid is shrewd and capable, young and strong, and he likes it, and this Cai Wenji is also a rare talented woman, and she will be vigorously enabled in the future, and there is also a secretary who can be called his sister, that is-Lian'er girl, this little girl is full of martial arts and outstanding kung fu, she is more like her bodyguard, following herself left and right. Naturally, I can also take on some tasks.

There were several more young people around me at once. Guan Yu's mentality has also become much younger, and this young face makes him intuitively feel that he is getting older, and the years are really unforgiving! After the New Year, I am already a 33-year-old person, and after a year of reform, I will officially dominate the world, that is, I am 34 years old, and it has been nearly 20 years since I thought about my rebirth. At that time, he was just a 15-year-old boy, just like the age of these children around him, but at that time, his family made a living by chopping wood, compared with these young people around him, the situation was quite pitiful, and the starting point was so low, but it was this situation that he struggled to this day, which may not be possible for these young people around him.

Guan Yu returned to the house, but saw that the house suddenly added a large number of gifts, large and small. Piled up everywhere in the house, Guan Yu was very puzzled and found Yang Xiu to ask the reason, Yang Xiu reported: "Isn't this a year, this is the ministers of the DPRK and China who have come to congratulate the prime minister and give the prime minister a gift!" ”

"Come and give me a New Year's greeting?" Guan Yu said.

Yang Xiu immediately presented Guan Yu with a gift list, and Guan Yu took the gift list casually and immediately read it

This gift list lists hundreds of gifts for Chinese martial artists, all of whom are above the fourth grade. And it can also be seen that the ceremony is still divided into grades, and each member of the first grade has at least 1,000 taels of silver. There are more than ten people; There are at least 800 taels of silver per person in the second grade, and there are more than 20 people; There are at least five hundred taels per person in the three grades, and there are dozens of people; The officials of the fourth grade are at least three hundred taels each, and there are dozens of them. The gift money totaled nearly 80,000 taels of silver, and Guan Yu smiled after reading it: "Dezu! Return the money to me as it was on the list! ”

Yang Xiu was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Prime Minister, this is a little inappropriate, right?" You see the Chinese New Year, the ministers have come to pay you New Year's greetings. This is also a little bit of the heart of the ministers of the DPRK and China! As the saying goes, 'officials don't give gifts', the prime minister is still thinking about it, and the ministers are grateful for the prime minister's kindness, and they used the opportunity of the New Year to give the prime minister a little bit to say that I don't think there's anything wrong with it, right? ”

Guan Yu waved his hand after hearing this: "Extravagance cannot be promoted, things are not as simple as imagined. What is the purpose and principle of my promotion? The principle is meritocracy, the purpose is to lay the foundation for the revival of the country, not for the so-called money and personal gains and losses, and if I receive these gifts, although the matter is small, but the embankment of thousands of miles is destroyed in the anthill, as long as it is the New Year's festival in the future, the ministers will take advantage of the situation to contribute, so this opening can not be opened, and then there are Dezu, you think about it, the ministers have so much money every year, you accept their gifts, their income is limited, which is bound to let them ponder the way to collect money, Isn't this the same thing going to happen again? And if I, as the head of the hundred officials in the court, do this, won't the entire court follow suit? So these gifts must be returned in full! ”

Guan Yu's words made Yang Xiumao suddenly nod and praise: "The prime minister is really the master!" That's a good point! I'll do it! Guan Yu stroked his beard and returned to the inner hall with a smile and began to study the matters of reform.

Guan Yu has done a lot of basic work for the reform, especially in the personnel to make full preparations, after the fifteenth day of the first month, Guan Yu can't wait to study the reform matters, he first convened the first meeting of the reform leading group at the beginning of the next year, just like the goal set a year ago, involving all fields and all levels of the ministers in charge have participated in the meeting, Guan Yu held a meeting in the Mingguang Hall of the imperial capital Luoyang, Guan Yu called this meeting as the reform leading group meeting, This reform leading group is also a newly established provisional body after the year, as the leading body to promote reform, Guan Yu personally served as the leader, and other departments and regional officials in charge of work and involved in reform were members of the group, and Cai Wenji also attended the meeting as an observer.

Guan Yu sat in the center and quickly made a mobilization speech: "The New Year has passed for the most part, the clarion call for reform has been sounded, and the prelude to the reform in the coming year has been unveiled. The division of labor has been explained at the reform meeting last year, and the following is an explanation of the goals and tasks of the reform! After Guan Yu finished speaking, he looked around at Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu immediately said: "The following is an explanation of the annual reform goals and tasks: in terms of agricultural production, all taxes for all peasants under the rule are exempted and shall not be collected, and the peasants will be completely liberated and will no longer serve forced labor; Intensify the collection of taxes on big landlords and tyrants. During the year, efforts should be made to complete the task of collecting 60,000 stones of grain and grass; Maintain at least five major water conservancy projects; Within the year, the production of military and civilian tuntian should reach more than 60,000 stones; The number of science and technology projects supported is more than ten; Strive to prosper the industrial and commercial trade and handicraft services of the ten cities; opening the Silk Road; Carry out the maintenance and reinforcement of eight major cities; The large landlords under his rule continued to collect 1 million taels of silver from the project construction fund, and the imperial court promised to compensate them with 10 taels of silver per mu of land in the future; Levy money and grain from princes outside the imperial court at more than 60,000 koku; In Luoyang for the public to run a lecture hall, this work by Guanglu doctor Cai Yong and the service Cai Yan is responsible for the implementation, the above tasks and goals in accordance with the responsibility of the year to determine the arrangement, in the year must achieve tangible results, the prime minister will supervise the realization of the task objectives throughout the process! ”

Yang Xiu finished reading the steps, and the ministers were in an uproar. The ministers were discussing, boiling like a pot, some scratched their heads, some brushed their beards, some yelled, some were still sighing, Guan Yu saw the ministers like this, so he said: "Don't quarrel, do you have any opinions and difficulties, just put them forward?" ”

Taiwei Zhu Jun was the first to come out and said: "Is it a little unrealistic to complete the restoration of eight cities within a year, you must know that the repair and reinforcement of a larger city cannot be completed in half a year!" Not to mention the eight? ”

"This is easy to do, can the eight cities be selected and started at the same time, the four of you can select the site and then go out separately to guide the construction and coordinate, and you can also mobilize local officials to participate in the construction, and repair and strengthen the eight cities within a year!" Guan Yu said.

Zhu Jun heard the same thing. It's just that it will be very hard to start construction at the same time, but since Guan Yu said it, this is not something that cannot be done, he continued: "As long as the construction funds are fine, this can be done!" ”

"There is no problem with the construction funds, just do what you said before, the construction funds of the imperial court will be in place soon, and you will have to work hard for the rest!" Guan Yu continued.

Zhu Jun saw that Guan Yu agreed, so he was ordered to retreat, and this matter can be regarded as implemented

Guan Yu then asked, "Who of the rest of you still has difficulties, just bring it up!" ”

Zhi Jinwu and Dali Temple Shaoqing Ma Teng came out and said: "Prime Minister Qi, I think this tax is collected. The amount of levy is too large, and I have just entered Luoyang. There are many obstacles to carry out this task, lest it be difficult to accomplish it! ”

Guan Yu said after hearing this: "Looking at the whole rule, there are still quite a lot of rich people, take the Luoyang area as an example, there are many landlords who are very strong, and there are also many large households in the land of Sanfu, and the task of collecting 60,000 stones is not too much, I have already calculated this." However, tax collection is indeed a difficult thing, as a newcomer, the burden on the shoulders of Ma is indeed not light, there is a saying that 'know its difficulties and do not fear its difficulties', hardships and hardships are not successful! Since I chose Master Ma, I think you can do it. What's more, I have given you enough power, if you feel that this matter is difficult, I can also send you two additional people, one is your beloved son Ma Chao, and the other is your beloved general Pound, in addition to this, I have also given you the power to mobilize local officials, you go anywhere to carry out this task, no matter how high the level is, the local officials must cooperate, to ensure that the adults can smoothly promote this work, and if there is indeed a difficulty, you can report to me at any time, I will come forward to coordinate and help solve it! What do you think? Master Ma? It won't be difficult, right? ”

"The prime minister has said so, if I Ma Teng can't do this, wouldn't it be too incompetent, the prime minister can rest assured, although there are thousands of difficulties and dangers ahead, I will go on firmly, because with the strong backing of the prime minister, why should I worry about it?" Ma Teng immediately said.

Guan Yu continued: "I can understand that you ministers have difficulties, after all, it is not easy to complete so many extremely difficult tasks in just one year, but don't be embarrassed, as long as you work hard and work hard, this goal should be achieved, I also believe in everyone's ability, here I also want to reiterate two points, one is that everyone is performing this work on behalf of the imperial court, and wherever you go, you must ask local officials to cooperate in order to complete their own work, Then I will ask Your Majesty for a decree to be given to the localities under my rule, commanding the magistrates to cooperate with you; Again, you do these things as best you can, and if you have any difficulties or requests, please ask me to make a representation of them, and I will solve them as a general coordinator; In addition, I would like to add that if everyone is timid in the implementation, the implementation of the goal is far from the requirements, and there are no other special factors, I think you also know what the consequences are, and there is another point, that is, the implementation of the goal quickly and forcefully, or the goal is completed ahead of schedule, the court will also be rewarded, including material rewards and promotions! (To be continued......)
