After enjoying the large-scale singing and dancing, the next program will be even more exciting, the court specially prepared a batch of carriages and horses, for the court members to ride, which specially prepared a royal car for the emperor of heaven, this car set up the Qingluo umbrella cover, the front and rear by four horses, the wheel hub is also four, the body of the whole car is inlaid with various jewels, the whole car is noble and luxurious, the emperor is supported by everyone to board the royal car, other ministers have also prepared spare vehicles have boarded the car, and the generals are all driving forward, There was a guard of honor to open the way for the whole carriage and horse, and they galloped towards the outside of Luoyang City. The name of the event is "Embark on a New Journey".

Guan Yu rode the "red rabbit in the horse" and rushed out of Luoyang City after the emperor's car was crushed, the speed of the red rabbit horse is amazing, but in view of his identity Guan Yu as the prime minister must not do offside, the top spot will be given to the emperor, and he will be second, this can be bitter red rabbit horse, can not enjoy its speed, and to slowly follow the emperor's car, there is such a feeling that there is no strength, Guan Yu followed closely behind the emperor's car, ranked second, and the rest of the ministers followed behind Guan Yu, This is true even for those first-class officials in the court, what Liu Bei, what Zhu Jun and so on. Emperor Xian's car ran out of Luoyang far away, and Guan Yu followed Emperor Xian all the time.

After returning to Luoyang, Emperor Xian and Guan Yu and the ministers and people who participated in the activities began to move freely, the most important thing for Guan Yu is to pay attention to the gifts of those landlords and old wealthy, Guan Yu came to the middle of the big households, one by one to meet with these big households and shake hands one by one to show that they met, Chen Xin and Yang Xiu accompanied the meeting, and so on after the handshake Guan Yu originally wanted to say two words to these landlords and old wealthy, but the previous speech was too hard, and now his voice is a little hoarse. So I didn't say anything more, just simply met them and ended hastily.

Yang Xiu said to these people according to Guan Yu's meaning: "Today everyone is fortunate to be invited to participate in the first Spring Festival ceremony in Luoyang, Cheng expressed his gratitude to everyone for coming, and hopes that everyone can enjoy themselves here!" After hearing this, the landlords and old fortunes cheered and began to participate in various activities, and the whole Luoyang City was very happy and lively. Guan Yu let go of these faces, and brought his family alone to watch the event, Guan Yu and his wife Hu Dingjin, Diao Chan and his son Guan Ping, under the escort of Lian'er, the family slowly walked among the people to participate in these activities, this is the first time he and his family are so happy to walk in Luoyang City, with the convening of the event, Luoyang's street market has also been lively, there are lanterns, New Year's paintings, food and various New Year's gifts in the market. Guan Ping saw that there were a lot of fun things in the market, so Zhang Luo wanted to buy it, Hu Dingjin took out the money to pay for him, Guan Ping resolutely said: "I want my father to buy it for me!" ”

Guan Yu was really stunned, only to see him squat down and say Guan Ping: "Okay! Good! Today the father is happy, what do you want The father bought you a bag and you are satisfied! ”

Guan Ping saw that Guan Yu agreed to come down. So he pointed to the things he wanted to buy, and immediately listed a lot of New Year's goods. Guan Yu paid the bills one by one, and Hu Dingjin and Diao Chan couldn't help laughing when they saw it: one is a teenage child, and the other is a father who has served as the prime minister, what a fun thing it is for the two to shop together, and the two of them also understand the meaning of being home, on this special day. The family reunites to visit the imperial capital, travel together and shop together, what a warm scene, Guan Yu, who is the prime minister, still accompanies his family in a low-key manner to experience this happiness. As a successful man, he has power, status, glory and dreams, in addition to his harvest of love and affection, he can really be described as a winner in life, Guan Yu, who is entangled in complicated affairs every day, rarely has such a relaxed leisure time to accompany his family, in fact, spending the festival with his family is undoubtedly the greatest happiness, as the prime minister, he is also a father and a husband

During the day of the Spring Festival, not only arrange various activities, but at night but see Luoyang City with lanterns, the lights are bright as daytime, the Han Dynasty every year on the first day of the first month of the first month of the year is staged acrobatic version of the "Spring Festival Gala", there are various programs such as fish and dragon Manyan, walking rope, Tibetan illusion, etc., to celebrate the New Year. In the event of foreign affairs activities, the Han Empire also regarded local acrobatic activities as "nine binchers" and carried out performances. Since Emperor Wu, the Spring Festival Gala has been held as scheduled for 64 years. This activity was also restarted, according to the previous records combined with the account of the old man in Luoyang, Guan Yu also prepared such a party, he held the party with the banquet, the banquet not only invited the emperor and the court's four grades above the civil and military ministers, of course, including his wife's room, Hu Dingjin is more annoyed by this kind of occasion, as a woman from a woman's family, she has never liked to attend this kind of lively occasion, the previous attendance in Luoyang activities or Guan Yu repeatedly persuaded to attend, this time there is a dinner, Hu Dingjin said that he would not participate, Guan Yu had no choice but to leave Diao Chan to accompany him to attend, Diao Chan is still more interested in this kind of scene activity, after all, she is very familiar with such activities, and she is naturally very open, to put it bluntly, this Diao Chan is a woman on the face, very good at catering and rhetorical, it can be described as exquisite, and immediately heard that Guan Yu let him accompany him to attend the dinner very happy.

This dinner is Guan Yu instructed his subordinates to carefully organize, the funds are allocated by the treasury, in this sense, this dinner is equivalent to the state banquet, this is also the first state banquet held after he served as prime minister, before he also often interacted with the courtiers to invite guests to eat, like this banquet held by himself is indeed the first time, the specifications of the banquet also belong to the top specifications, the beasts on the road, birds in the sky, and the water objects, have been put on the table, the practice is also unique, cooking and frying noisy, everything is launched, the taste is also sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, In addition, there are a lot of special dishes, what cold, hot, meat, vegetarian are all to, not only the dishes are exquisite, this wine is even more unique, the wine that has been moved is a good wine that has been aged for many years, and the aroma of the wine has been smelled before it has been opened, in addition to a lot of tea, these teas are the best in the tea, refreshing people's hearts, everyone has a platter in front of the seat, there are all kinds of fruits and miscellaneous fruits, let them choose. The ministers were all praised when they saw such a banquet, because there were many elements in it that they had never heard of or seen, and how did they know that many of them were brought by Guan Yu from modern times.

At the banquet, the Son of Heaven sat on the central seat, Guan Yu sat next to him with Diao Chan, and the ministers at the bottom of the stairs sat on both sides according to their ranks, and the entire banquet ceremony was presided over by Liu Bei. Liu Bei said that everyone said: "Today's banquet is specially arranged by the prime minister, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, on this special day, everyone gathered together to go to the state banquet, tonight is a day of celebration for the whole world, we have made a lot of contributions to the court and society in the past year, the work in the coming year is still heavy and arduous, let us unite closely around Your Majesty under the leadership of General Guan, and work hard for the revival of the Han family, all of you who came are the elites of Luoyang. For the construction and stability of Luoyang has paid a lot of hard work and sweat, because of this Luoyang has today, now Luoyang is in its heyday, I believe that under the leadership of Prime Minister Guan Cheng of the Ming Dynasty of the court will be more brilliant, today we are rare to get together, let us toast to the court tomorrow! He raised his glass high.

Liu Bei's identity is not the same as other ministers in the court, in front of the Son of Heaven, he Liu Bei is the emperor's uncle, and he is the eldest brother to Cheng Yu. With one shoulder and two ends, Liu Bei's identity is very glorious. He was such a Luo, and the Chinese martial arts raised their glasses, Liu Bei drank all the wine in the cup, Emperor Xian and Guan Yu also drank the wine in the cup, and then the ministers drank the wine one after another, and after drinking the wine, Liu Bei continued to preside: "The next "Spring Festival Gala" officially begins!" After Liu Bei finished speaking, several programs that had been prepared before appeared one after another. Various programs such as ichthyosaur manyan, rope walking, and Tibetan illusion have been staged one after another

The first day of the new year ended in a burst of laughter, when people were immersed in the joy of the New Year, Guan Yu came to the prime minister's mansion to work on the second day of the new year, and he also wanted to relax and relax from the first to the fifteenth day of the new year. But there is one thing that worries him more, what is it? That is the "gift money" received before, that is, the gift of those big families in Luoyang, Guan Yu immediately found Yang Xiu, Yang Xiu really understood the situation, and reported the amount of money impartially, totaling a full one million taels of silver and 20,000 taels of gold, Guan Yu was shocked after hearing it: Grandma's! It's really rich enough, 20,000 taels of gold is enough to support the army's food for more than half a year, Guan Yu has obtained such a large fortune in a snap of his fingers, plus the income from Zuo Feng before, and the remaining money before, Guan Yu After careful calculation, the money he is sitting on now is enough to support the rations of the 200,000 army for two years, what is this concept? It's enough to support two years, so can the reform be put on hold? Guan Yu thought about it carefully, although he had some money, but the reform still had to be carried out, this is the work of laying the foundation, not to mention that the money is only enough for two years of food, and the army's expenses are not enough to have food, but also to pay the soldiers, but also to prepare enough forage for the war horses, not to mention the cost of the army, the internal and external affairs of the court to maintain the smooth flow of government affairs and consolidate the city defense still need a lot of expenses, so it seems that some money If you think about the long run, these money is still far from enough, so it is imperative to consider reform.

However, Guan Yu was very happy to get this money unexpectedly, and he instructed Yang Xiu: "Put all this money into the treasury!" No one can touch this money, including the money that came before, without my permission, and no one is allowed to spend it without my permission! Anyone who needs money must report it to me and be approved by me! ”

As soon as Yang Xiu heard this, he hurriedly grinded off the donkey and said: "It took a lot of money to prepare for the welcome event before, and this was all spent from the treasury. ”

"This flower is spent, by the way, how much did it cost?" Guan Yu asked.

Yang Xiu replied, "A total of 30,000 taels of silver!" ”

Guan Yu nodded after hearing this, and then said: "In the future, if there are financial expenditures, no one will be allowed to spend without my permission!" The money collected and the financial proceeds must be reported to me truthfully! ”

"No!" Yang Xiu commanded.

Guan Yu then said to Yang Xiu: "Dezu, during this time, you are busy running outside and running very hard, and the work is also in place, this is not the New Year, you also rest, our work in the coming year is still very arduous, and the burden on your body is not light!" ”

"Thanks to the promotion of the prime minister, Dezu should do his best to do things for the prime minister, and devote all his talents, and in the coming year, Dezu will continue to support the prime minister and try his best to assist the prime minister in doing things!" Yang Xiu complimented.

Guan Yu continued: "Okay! Huh? That's right, Dezu! There's one more thing you need to do! ”

"Prime Minister, please speak!" Yang Xiudao.

Guan Yu then said: "Do you see that this is not a New Year, it is rare for everyone to be happy." I decided to give all the money we collected to the soldiers as a New Year's reward, and the 200,000 troops were each worth five taels of silver! It is not easy for these soldiers to follow me to live and die, and I can't let the soldiers just work hard, and they are somewhat strapped for money now, but it's the New Year, no more, no less. You can't be bitter brothers, give them some silver taels to keep for the New Year! ”|

The prime minister is sympathetic to the people and cherishes the sergeants, which is the luck of the three armies! Prime Minister we still need a lot of money, this money is a lot of money, is it a lot of money, should we wait until we have a balance next year? Yang Xiu recommended.

Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "Hair!" Send all this money to every sergeant! I have taken on the role of the commander, and no one can suffer the brothers, I didn't have this power before, but now I have the final say, I must reward the three armies and reward the soldiers! ”

"No! I'll do it! Do what the prime minister says! Yang Xiu immediately took the order and left

Guan Yu stroked his beard after making this decision: I really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are at home! One million tattooed silver hair is only five taels per person for the soldiers, it is really not easy to raise such a big family, it is really a wolf with more meat and less meat! It seems that you have to work hard to earn money to support your family. Or I can't even afford this year! As the first New Year, Guan Yu took out 1.03 million silver patterns to celebrate and celebrate the New Year for the sergeants, you must know that this is more than half a year's salary! But Guan Yu decided to spend him after thinking about it, and he was so happy, in fact, even Dong Zhuo had never squandered so much, and he spent so many silver taels in a year, isn't this a loser?

But in Guan Yu's view, things are not quite the same, as the saying goes, "first impressions are very important". Anyone who has the feeling that when recalling a person or an event, they tend to focus on the first impression. Guan Yu also understands this truth, as the first New Year, as a new coach, of course he has to show a new atmosphere, maybe this seems to cost a lot, but it is worth it when you think about it. Guan Yu's silver was also spent on ideas, he used these material wealth to win the hearts of the people, and everyone's first impression of him as a prime minister was of course good, the biggest difference between Guan Yu as a master and Dong Zhuo was that he could win the hearts of the people, and he always thought about others. As the saying goes, "Those who seek justice will win, and those who do things for the people will succeed", no matter how big an official you have taken and how much position you have done, for ordinary people, you can benefit him, that is the best official.

Guan Yu is such a person, he can always think about what others think and what others are anxious about, and for those courtiers and subordinates who are loyal to him, as well as those soldiers he brings, he, the master, will not consider them for their sake, try to ask why people will die with you to work hard for you, of course, this era pays attention to loyalty, but as a person, he has material needs, faith is a good thing, but he can't be eaten, so give people material support, when will it still work, Guan Yu raised things at that time, Why did the sergeants fall to him so quickly, this is naturally Guan Yu's superiority, but it is not difficult to deny that Guan Yu never owes the sergeants and brothers in terms of material, whenever he captures something, he distributes it to the sergeants, so many years Guan Yu has scattered his money to maintain the operation of the entire army, to subsidize the expenses of the sergeants, and he has never been in arrears, and because of this, he has not been able to save any money himself, in fact, he can earn it very much, but it is all spent on the people under him, And he himself has no private money at all except for basic food, clothing and sufficient use.

Of course, you will ask if such a big official can spend some money in the treasury casually, but how can Guan Yu be such a squandering and wasteful person? Every penny is used on the blade, he never spends a penny indiscriminately, this is the biggest difference between him and Dong Zhuo, he is also very bold, throwing thousands of dollars or even ten thousand gold, but all the money is spent on his brothers, this time is a clear example, originally used his brains to get so much money, which can be used as military expenses, but in order to show a new atmosphere for him as a coach during the New Year, he still scattered this money, it is so generous, of course, the biggest sponsors of this year are these big families in Luoyang, These people really have money, and they suddenly became the biggest sponsors of the New Year

More than a million tattoo silver was spent so quickly, it seems that you have to work hard to make money! I still have to improve the lives of the brothers, there are too many places to ask for money, and next year's reform must be firmly implemented, Guan Yu thought like this, thought, and suddenly thought of another question, what is it? That is the material and spiritual problem, in the final analysis, the reform is still a material problem, but what about the spiritual world? We must also grasp it, we must establish a system under the rule, a good system can pave the way for reform, and it can restrain people's actions, so that those who commit adultery do not dare to do things rashly, so that good people and good things continue to emerge, so as to achieve a clean and upright atmosphere in the whole society, this is the role of the system, Guan Yu thought of this and thought: "System!" System! Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered someone, who? That is Cai Yong, the Guanglu doctor he just promoted. (To be continued......)
