After Mi Zhu left, Xu Ji almost wanted to cheer out happily.

With the help of Mi Zhu's sister's matter, Mi Zhu has now fully surrendered to himself at the political level, not only promising to completely obey Xun Yu's arrangements for him in Chang'an, but also promising to fully cooperate with Zhang Zhao and Yu Tuo's reforms after returning to Xuzhou. It is also possible to strengthen the control of Qingzhou through guò糜竺.

And Mi Zhu should also know that since his sister-in-law and Yu turned together, he has been linked to Yanzhou's interests. He should know where to go. For Xu Ji, the happiest thing on this day is nothing more than this.

At the beginning of the lanterns, everyone came back after a busy day.

However, there was no business at the dinner table today, because there was one more Yin family, which made everyone a little embarrassed to speak, after all, the core personnel in Xu Ji Sikong Mansion now knew that there was something wrong with this Yin family. Xu Ji was a little anxious, of course such an atmosphere was wrong, this was obviously not the result Xu Ji wanted to see, not to mention that a clever person like the Yin family could not see the problems and greasy in this? So Xu Ji took the initiative to provoke the topic, and asked Xun Yu about the negotiation with envoys from all over the country in the afternoon.

Everyone immediately understood, knowing that it was okay to say this thing in front of the Yin family, where would the Yin family understand this kind of thing? Xun Yu said to Xu Ji: "My lord, the envoys from all over the country have sent people back to our agreement to wait for a reply, but I believe that the problem is not big, if there is a problem, it should be a change in individual terms." I think that from tomorrow we can hold a so-called 'business meeting' to bring together representatives and businessmen from all over the world. ”

Xu Ji nodded silently, and Chen Qun, who was on the side, added: "This 'fair' is also the first time we have held it. However, in accordance with the proposal of the Lord, we have set up booths for each state according to the region. and what they can offer in the coming period. Xu Ji smiled: "You guys have done a good job, you can imagine." Tomorrow will be like no other. ”

Except for Yin, who didn't know why, everyone laughed out loud.

Xun Yu sighed on the side: "These merchants and messengers are only busy for a while. However, our carriage in Yanzhou has to be busy for a long time. Fortunately, we have been building roads for many years, which has made the transportation in various places much more convenient, and our Yanzhou carriage is extremely convenient to drive, which is indeed a good tool for civilian use. Xu Ji nodded and said, "Brother Wenruo is reasonable, I will ask the carriage factory in Yanzhou to increase the production of horse-drawn carriages." ”

Xun Yu added: "Since it is used for transportation. I think it's important to increase her durability and load capacity, as well as easy maintenance. ”

Xu Ji smiled: "Of course, what kind of carriage is hidden in the wine cellar or something." Naturally, I don't need it. Huan Fan added: "My lord, now that I have Youzhou, then it is equivalent to having countless horses, I think as long as it is carefully cultivated, it will not take a few years for the transportation capacity of my Yanzhou carriage to reach a higher level." ”

Whenever this Huan Fan talks about the key points, it is really remarkable that he can always have such an insight.

Xu Ji touched his chin and looked at Huan Fan thoughtfully: "None of us are experts in this matter, but I know it." The Liaodong war horses used by our Yanzhou army do not seem to be suitable for transportation, although the short-range impact of this war horse on the battlefield is incomparable. But stamina is insufficient. After a pause, Xu Ji smiled and said: "For example, Wenhou Lu Bu's red rabbit horse, everyone knows that it is a thousand miles of horses." But if you really let the red rabbit run for a day, I don't think it has as good endurance as the horse, but that speed is too average. So. The war horses we want to train in the future must pay attention to the problem of endurance. ”

Zhuge Jin, who had been silent, raised a strange voice that was in the period of voice change and said, "The endurance of the Bingzhou horse is said to be good. If you can mate with the war horses of Youzhou, maybe you can match a good horse. Xun Yusu rubbed his beard. Squinting his eyes, he said: "Actually, there are good horses everywhere, such as the Qingzhou generation." Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Qi is the heaviest chariot war, so the horses of Qingzhou are also famous horses in the world, but because there is a habit of gelding since ancient times, this famous breed is cut off. However, after the lord secretly controlled Qingzhou, he banned geldings, which was better, but when it came to the abundance of horses, Xiliang was also a good place. …… By the way, I heard that the endurance of the war horses in the land of Xichuan Barbarian Land is good. And I heard that there are people there who are fighting on elephants. ”

Xu Ji didn't expect Xun Yu's knowledge to be so profound, and he even knew the combat methods of the Southern Barbarians, and he also knew the elephants, so he couldn't help but look at Xun Yu again and again. The others had heard of such a thing for the first time, and they were all curious and inquiring.

As a result, Xun Yu replied disappointedly: "I haven't seen an elephant either, but I know that this thing is a behemoth, although it is slow, but it is extremely powerful, although our war horse is tall, but if it is compared with an elephant, it is a small thing." Yin, who had never had a chance to interject, found a chance to speak, and hurriedly smiled: "The concubine has also heard of elephants, but she has never seen them in person, but she just knows that since I was the third emperor of Ming Zhang, the West has expounded the Shamen Sutra in my Middle Earth, and there have been people from foreign lands who have brought this animal to us, but unfortunately we have no chance to see it." ”

This Yin Shi spoke in a sexy and low voice, but there was a nasal voice that other women did not have, and it always seemed to give others a hint, remembering the beautiful moans when men and women were happy. It's really natural and charming, so people can't guard against it.

Zhuge Jin is still young, and he only thinks that this Yin family speaks pleasantly. Chen Qun's face turned red, although this kid is a wise man, but he is very simple in the affairs of men and women, Yin's words aroused the boy's instinctive reaction. Fortunately, everyone is sitting, otherwise it would be extremely embarrassing.

Huan Fan lowered his head, if he raised his head at this moment, he would definitely see the cold light in his eyes. Xun Yu and Xu Ji are both people who have been married for a long time, and naturally they also know the taste of women, although they are natural on their faces, but they feel especially deeply in their hearts. It's Xu Wei's cheekiness, although he knows that the other party is not a friend or foe, but he can't ignore the fact that the Yin family is in a country and a city, and he didn't have the opportunity to see the Yin family, so why don't you take the opportunity to take a big look at it this time? I couldn't help but laugh a few words with this Yin. That Yin Shi would show his means and answer to Xu Wei in a proper manner, but the voice was even more heartwarming. made Xu Wei, this kid dizzy. Xu Ji secretly scolded Xu Wei for being a pervert, but he knew that this was a good thing. Being made such a fuss by Xu Wei, of course the Yin family will be at ease. It doesn't feel like you're left out, otherwise everyone won't talk to her, and that's bad.

Thinking about these here, Xu Ji smiled again: "It is said that the elephant is indeed a behemoth, and it looks quite distinctive, with a long trunk that can be used as an arm and finger, and two fangs that are exposed. Then he raised his glass to drink.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Jin said innocently on the side: "The lord can't say that it is a wild boar, right?" When Xu Ji heard this, he almost squirted out a mouthful of wine. Swallowing the wine, he laughed and said, "False, the elephant's teeth and trunk are much longer than that of a wild boar. This animal has been around since ancient times. If we talk about his ancestor hairy mammoth, hehe, in short, it is a common animal in the southwest, and we think it is strange and even think it is a sacred thing. It's just that scarcity is expensive. ”

Everyone nodded suddenly, but they didn't care about any mammoths.

Yin Shi sighed on the side: "Lord Sikong is really knowledgeable. Although he knew that this woman had bad intentions, this praise and voice still made Xu Ji feel fluttering.

Everyone just sighed, but Yu Ban thought about something else, frowned, and said: "If this thing is used to rob the village, it is really difficult to defend." ”

Xu Ji knew what Yu Ban wanted to say. This guy is thinking far ahead. I was already thinking about the conquest of the Southern Barbarians in the future, and I was most concerned about defense. Where is Xu Ji willing to let Yu Ban continue? He smiled and said: "Yu Ban, your kid really lacks life experience, the roads in southern Yunnan are difficult to walk, and those elephants move slowly." When he came to my Middle-earth, I was afraid that he would have been discovered long ago. ”

Yu Ban immediately understood what Xu Ji meant, and couldn't help but blush. Feeling a little embarrassed that he forgot that the Yin clan was on the side, he said, "I'm just worried about how Yizhou can resist this kind of attack." ”

Xu Ji secretly praised Yu Ban for being clever. Laughing: "What's so hard about this? All animals have a fear of fire. Fire attacks are a good tactic against these beasts. The crowd was impressed. Yin's beautiful eyes when he looked at Xu Ji were even more colorful, and he looked like he was adoring with all his heart, but Xu Ji had already taken precautions and naturally would never believe any of Yin's expressions.

Xu Ji knows his charm very well, if he is compared with Cao Cao, it is still far behind, at least in terms of love, he will definitely not be the opponent of Cao Cao, a first-class contemporary poet. Once the sea was difficult to water, after experiencing Cao Cao, if the Yin family would be tempted by themselves, it would be strange. After everyone's admiration was lowered, Xu Ji smiled and said: "We don't care what elephant we are, in short, we will do the things in front of us first, my Han is already full of holes, and I can't stand the slightest toss, or Brother Wen Ruo is right, to calm the hearts of the people, let the people of the world fill their stomachs first." ”

Everyone responded with enthusiasm. Xu Ji said to Xun Yu again: "Mrs. Yin is now living in our house, of course we will take care of it, but I know that this is not a home, the real home is not how big the house is, but to see if there are relatives by your side." ”

Xu Ji's words said that the Yin family's expression moved, obviously moved by Xu Ji's words.

Xu Ji said again: "So Brother Wen Ruo, you'd better let Yuanzhi and He Lina Nizi take Chang'an and let them reunite with Mrs. Yin." Yin Shi suddenly whimpered in his voice: "Lord Sikong......" Before he finished speaking, his beautiful eyes were filled with tears that were as round and shiny as pearls, and they were indescribably moving.

Xu Ji laughed and said: "Madam, this is what I should do, and besides, these two people are not young, I think they should get married." Madam, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, you don't have any objections, do you? ”

Yin replied obediently: "Yiqiē, but according to the orders of Lord Sikong, the concubine has no objection. Xu Wei made a "tsk" voice and said: "But how to say it, Xu Shu's kid was also a hero to save the beauty at the beginning, although he almost became a hero without a head." ”

Everyone was amazed by what he said.

Later, Xu Wei complained about the phenomenon of the tight security patrol capacity in Chang'an in the past few days, and now Chang'an City is mixed with dragons and snakes, and various forces are in a state of chaos, plus all kinds of people from outside, etc., it is even more annoying. It is no wonder that now the forces of Xu Ji and Liu Xie are in a state of waiting and watching each other, with cooperation and struggle, so other small forces have breathing space and are active one after another.

Xu Wei talked about several absurd things after the wine between the dignitaries and nobles during the banquet, which caused everyone to laugh.

Dinner was spent in this laughter, and Yin listened attentively at the dinner table for a long time. But nothing was found. Naturally, I was a little tired, so I went back to my room to rest. And even if she's not tired. will also say that she is not feeling well, after all, today is her first day in Sikong Mansion. A "man who has been drifting outside for a long time." How can you be so energetic?

Xu Wei hurriedly left with Yu Ban as soon as he finished eating, and the major restaurants and entertainment venues that were still closed at night were full of people who were drunk and jealous.

Xu Ji invited Xun Yu, Huan Fan and others to his house for a small gathering. Guarding the red charcoal fire in the small furnace and drinking Yanzhou wine, everyone finally melted into a slightly drunk drunk because of the unnaturalness of Yin's presence just now.

Looking at the smiling Huan Fan, Xu Ji asked, "What interesting things did you kid think of again?" ”

Huan Fan burped before he said leisurely: "I'm thinking that it's really difficult to be fair in this world, for example, what Wen Feng just said." A man vomits all over the ground, and no one says he's drunkard. On the contrary, he said that he was a celebrity and gentleman, and if he was replaced by an old farmer, he was afraid that he would have been beaten out of the door with an old fist. The crowd laughed at what he said.

Xu Ji's thoughts span thousands of years of ancient and modern China and foreign countries. sighed: "Lao Tzu once said, 'People do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality', which is still quite inappropriate and inappropriate in the end, and the biggest inappropriate thing is that it is impossible to achieve complete averageness." What about an average qiē? No one is the same, some are hardworking and some are lazy, and it is impossible for a country to be without a superior, once the superior has a problem. Immediately it was uneven. In the end, it's still unreal. Xun Yu and Chen Qun were shocked when they heard this, and looked at Xu Ji, the former said in a condensed voice: "Dare to ask the lord, is there a solution to this kind of thing?"

Xu Ji smiled bitterly: "What can I do about this?" If there is a good way. Then the Xia, Shang and Zhou and Qiang Qin and the former Han would not have perished. ”

Chen Qun disagreed: "I have a solution. Doesn't the new 'Five Virtues Always Said' in the Lord's Commons say that 'a gentleman is worthy of five virtues'? I think as long as there is a gentleman in power, there will be no problem. Xu Ji smiled dumbly and said: "The people here are their own people, so forgive me." Regardless of whether I, Xu Ji, am a 'gentleman' or not, I just ask you how do you know that my Xu Ji's descendants for generations are all 'gentlemen' who can 'match the five virtues'? What if an unscrupulous son sits in a high position? ”

Everyone was stunned by Xu Ji's question. Don't know how to answer.

They are all people from Yanzhou, and of course they will not say unrealistic words of praise and merit. And Xu Ji's question left them at a loss for answers. Xu Ji looked at everyone. sighed: "To ensure that the person in the high position is a gentleman, then there are only two ways, one is to restore the ancient Zen concession system, and use the election to let the sage occupy the high position forever; One is that in a dynasty, when the corruption is unbearable, there is a gentleman who rises up, such as like Gaozu Liu Bang, to establish a new dynasty, and then start again, the world's major events, together for a long time, must be divided. ”

Xun Yu shook his head again and again when he heard this: "Neither of these methods will work, the Zen concession system is easy to be destroyed by a group of people with strong strength, and the second one is even worse, it is completely going back and forth between destruction and construction." Xu Ji smiled and said, "Actually, we can change the first Zen system." So he talked about the modern democratic system, and Xun Yu and others who listened were dumbfounded.

Although Xu Ji has shocked everyone countless times, this time it was the most violent, making everyone completely speechless.

Chen Qun seemed to know Xu Ji for the first time, and his eyes flashed with unprecedented brilliance: "The lord's idea is very fresh, and it is indeed worth trying." Xu Ji shook his head, and before he could speak, Xun Yu had already said categorically on the side: "Chen Qun, have you forgotten all the things you learned in the 'Shang Jia class' in Yanzhou Academy?" What does the government serve? Our current level of economy simply cannot support this form of government. The rights and duties of the lord are even more complicated, and it would be a blessing if the method of the lord could work in five hundred years. But for now, it's a delusion. ”

Chen Qun was speechless, but Xu Ji was very happy: Xun Yu is still very good, no matter what time he is, he is calm-headed, seeking truth from facts, and he is much more mature than when he first came to this era. Thinking of this, Xu Ji patted Xun Yu's shoulder and smiled: "But I will not passively wait for the appearance of unscrupulous sons among my children and grandchildren, I naturally have some means to prevent this kind of thing from happening, although it may not be completely effective." ”

Xun Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, so he was about to ask, but Xu Ji changed the topic and said: "Now that Zhen Fu and Mi Zhu are already our people, we can sit behind them and watch Sun Ce in the future, they are so poor that they can't wear pants." But this is not enough, because our primary targets are Hanzhong and Yizhou, and the Zhen family and the Mi family will not help us much in this regard. If we want to start with Zhang Lu and Liu Bei, we have to start with Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, they have a friendship with Liu Bei, if we can open a gap from them, our things will be easy to do. Xun Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I'm already working on this matter." ”

Xu Ji was slightly stunned, only to find that there were two less people present, one was Zhang Hong, and the other was Gao Tanglong, both of whom were students who had graduated from Yanzhou Academy brought by Xun Yu to Chang'an, among which Gao Tanglong's movements Xu Ji knew, he had been busy improving the system and regulations of the imperial examination these days, although Xu Ji knew it, he couldn't see anyone. It is estimated that his heels are also busy and can't touch the ground, so Xu Ji didn't think about looking for him. But Zhang Hong is nowhere to be seen, which is a strange thing.

Xun Yu said on the side: "Don't worry, the lord is here, these two people will definitely be taken down!" (To be continued......)
