Cui Yan hurriedly let go of half of his body, and extended his hand to ask: "I don't know that General Ao is visiting late at night, and he is not welcome, please come in quickly." Ao Lie said with a smile: "Brother Ji Jue, I respect you as a brother, but you are commensurate with a general, is this unfair?" As he spoke, he walked into Cui Yan's room.

Cui Yan was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "I want to call the general a virtuous brother, but I don't know what the general is." Ao Lie was speechless when he said a word. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, men would be crowned at the age of 20, and most people were given the words by the elders of the family at the coronation ceremony. There are also those who have a table in advance, but they also have to wait until the time of the wedding, in order to make it convenient for the woman's elders to call their son-in-law. The current Ao Lie is only ten years old, first, he has not reached the age of crowning, and second, he has not married Cai Yan, where did he come from?

"Okay, Brother Ji Jue can call it whatever you want." Ao Lie was defeated by Cui Yan and said with a little annoyance. Cui Yan looked at Ao Lie's expression, and couldn't help but chuckle: "The general is a successful young man, and before he is crowned, he has a great reputation, everyone calls him 'Little Overlord', and the Son of Heaven even issued an edict to confer the title of General Weiyuan, what else is the general worried about?"

When Ao Lie heard this, his heart moved, and he said seriously: "This late-night visit is just a troublesome thing, and I hope that Brother Ji Jue will solve his doubts." Cui Yan was originally just joking, but when he saw Ao Lie getting serious, he couldn't help but say, "General, it's okay to say it." Ao Lie stretched out his hand to ask Cui Yan to sit down, then sat opposite Cui Yan, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Brother Ji Qi is a famous person in the world, Lie wants to ask Brother Ji Qi a word, today, chaos has appeared, and now the Yellow Turban Rebellion has not subsided, and Yu Tang is guarding all places; Xiliang Fengyan rose again, Bian Zhang and Han Sui used soldiers to stand on their own, and their hearts could be punished; The northern border has been harassed by the Xiongnu, Wuhuan and Xianbei for many years, and the people have been miserable; On the temple, the Son of Heaven was deceived by his relatives and eunuchs, and he could not hear it; There were also endless infighting between relatives and eunuchs, and most of the loyal ministers and good generals were disheartened and avoided the mountains and forests. Lie dared to ask Brother Ji Jue, like this situation, how can I regain the glory of the Han Dynasty? ”

After Cui Yan listened to Ao Lie's words, a pair of sword eyebrows wrinkled together, and there was worry between his eyebrows. Sighing, Cui Yan said: "Don't hide it from the general, every late at night, Yan also thinks hard about how to revive the dynasty and reproduce the glory of my Han dynasty, but I think about it, alas, this matter is difficult!" ”

Ao Lie said slowly: "That's true. But as a citizen of the Han Dynasty, he is a relative of the Han family, although he has changed his surname to a foreign surname, but there is a blood passed down by the ancestors in a certain body, even if he is broken by his bones, he will also shed the last drop of blood for the stormy Han River! Cui Yan praised movingly: "The general is really ambitious!" What a spirit! ”

Ao Lie waved his hand and said: "I think that the outside must first be settled, in the case of my Youzhou, after my father arrived, he successively promulgated the policy of benefiting the people, recruited more than 100,000 displaced people from Qingzhou, encouraged production, and lightly paid for the meager endowment, in the long run, I assert that within three years, Youzhou will inevitably have a new weather, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the soldiers will be elite and brave. ”

Cui Yan listened to Ao Lie's plan, and his heart fluctuated for a while. couldn't help but praise: "The general pointed out the mountains and rivers, his bearing and knowledge are extraordinary, Yan worships it!" ”

As soon as the words changed, Ao Lie continued: "It's only hateful that Lie is still young, and he can't be like a certain brother, enter the court as a general, and serve the side of the Son of Heaven. If he is able to enter the court as an official one day, he will definitely do his best to support the Han family. ”

Speaking of this, both people in the room couldn't help but fall silent. In today's world, the capable are crowded out, and they can't enter the inner circle of the imperial court power at all, but they are flatterers and fame and reputation but are in high positions, even if there are a few capable and knowledgeable loyal ministers, they are not liked by the Emperor Ling, and the constructive proposals put forward are also vetoed by the Emperor Ling under the blindness of the ten permanent servants.

After being silent for a long time, Ao Lie said: "What's the use, what is the use of a fierce man's soft words and empty blood?" Cui Yan also shook his head sadly and said: "I am a Hanchen, but I can't solve problems for the Han, I feel ashamed." ”

Ao Lie suddenly raised his head, looked at Cui Yan intently, and said slowly: "This late-night visit, in fact, has only one meaning. Lie asked Brother Ji Jue that in the future, if Lie encountered difficulties on the journey of Kuang Fu Han Chamber, he hoped that Brother Ji Jue would help. ”

Well? Cui Yan carefully tasted the meaning of Ao Lie's words, is this a solicitation? Or is it temptation? At that moment, Cui Yan asked quietly: "What does the general mean by this?" Ao Lie said: "A certain Han Dynasty will soon have turmoil, and the dispute between relatives and eunuchs will eventually be won or lost, if this dispute can be resolved within the imperial court, it will also be an opportunity to revive the dynasty." However, once the struggle between the two sides falls into a stalemate, I am afraid that neither side will sit idly by, and at that time, this turmoil is afraid that it will cause disaster to the entire Han Dynasty. "I have to say that having the insight of more than 2,000 years is of great benefit to Ao Lie. In history, the great general He Jin led Dong Zhuo of Xiliang into Beijing during this period, and then made Dong Zhuo abolish the Son of Heaven and tilt his power towards the government and the opposition. The most reluctance led to the princes from all walks of life supporting their own troops, causing chaos in the world.

At this moment, Cui Yan carefully deduced in his heart, and the conclusion he came to coincided with what Ao Lie said! Although Cui Yan is good at internal affairs, he is not ignorant of political struggles. It is not difficult to be able to deduce the future situation according to the direction proposed by Ao Lie.

Seeing that Cui Yan was speechless for a long time, Ao Lie knew that Cui Yan had already expected the result, but this result was really difficult for him to accept who was loyal to the Han family. Ao Lie said straightforwardly: "Brother Ji Jue, I do intend to recruit you, but I also know that I don't have that capital yet. Therefore, I hope that Brother Ji Qi can help at the right time in the future. ”

Looking at the frank Ao Lie, Cui Yan was moved. In terms of official position, he is taller than Ao Lie, and in terms of age, he is older than Ao Lie, so Ao Lie did not directly ask himself to join his command, but asked himself to let himself go out of the mountain to help him in the future, when Ao Lie has the capital in his hands to support the Han family. Cui Yan stood up and saluted Ao Lie: "The general is ambitious, Yan already knows. If, as the general said, the Han will face disintegration, then when the general raises his arms, it will be the day when Yan and his family will come to vote. ”

Ao Lie happily shook Cui Yan's hands and said loudly: "A gentleman's word!" Cui Yan glanced at Ao Lie deeply, and then said: "It's hard to chase the horse!" ”

Ao Lie saw that his goal was achieved, so he said goodbye to Cui Yan. Cui Yan pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "General, although Yan can't follow General Yu now, but I deeply feel the general's ambition, Yan has an old friend, and he has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes. ”

Ao Lie asked: "Dare to ask Brother Ji Jue's old friend, the honorable name?" Cui Yan replied: "My friend is a person from Yingchuan, surnamed Xun Mingyu and Wenruo, and he is also well-known in Yingchuan. just refused to go out, and now he is still white. "Ao Lie was thundered again, who? Xun Yu? That will be the world-famous Wang Zuozhi talent Xun Yu in the future? At that moment, Ao Lie was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Cui Yan. Cui Yan didn't know why Ao Lie was so enthusiastic about Xun Yu, he just thought it was Corporal Ao Lie, so he also wrote Ao Lie's enthusiasm into the letter. It was Cui Yan's handiness that made Xun Yu come to Youzhou under curiosity, and after a civil search, he confirmed that Ao Lie had the potential to be the master, and then he joined Ao Lie's command. That's an afterword.

Saying goodbye to Cui Yan, Ao Lie was in a good mood, but he didn't expect that he was just trying to persuade Cui Yan, but he didn't expect to involve that Wang Zuozhi talent Xun Yu. Back in the room, Ao Lie saw that Shuang'er had already brought a basin of water and was ready to wash himself. Ao Lie was in a good mood, and couldn't help but have the idea of prank, so he quietly came behind Shuang'er, stretched out his hand to cover Shuang'er's eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister Shuang'er, who do you guess I am?" ”

The moment Shuang'er was covered with her eyes, her body began to struggle violently, but after hearing Ao Lie's words, she stopped struggling and burst out laughing. Ao Lie was puzzled in his heart, and continued to say in a hoarse voice: "Don't laugh! Otherwise, I'll tie you up!" Shuang'er laughed even harder, and said while smiling: "Second son, you don't pretend to be like it at all." ”

Hearing this, Ao Lie let go of his hands and asked strangely, "Sister Shuang'er, how did you find me?" Shuang'er covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister Shuang'er, Sister Shuang'er, just show your title, so others won't call me that." Ao Lie suddenly realized, he didn't expect to make such a low-level mistake.

Smiling awkwardly, Ao Lie tried to get out of the predicament in front of him: "That, Sister Shuang'er, how is the golden silk leaf selling recently?" Shuang'er stopped smiling, thought about it seriously, and said: "In the past few months, I have made all the local incense I brought from Jiuyuan into golden silk leaves, and now I have sold almost them, probably making more than 50,000 yuan, and the golden silk leaves that the old man brought to Jiangdong were sold at the same price as gold, but I don't know how much money I earned." ”

Ao Lie, who was originally just asking casually, was taken aback after hearing Shuang'er's answer, he didn't expect the golden silk leaf to be so easy to sell, and in just a few months, he actually made more than 50,000 yuan. And that's not counting the part that my grandfather brought to Koto. It seems that the scale of the production of golden silk leaves must be increased, this is a very profitable craft, and some trustworthy people must be found to participate. Turn the money you earn into armaments and arm them into the army. What is the war fought? It's the financial resources that fight! Whoever has more capital and more resources will be the most sure to achieve the most victorious victory. With advanced skills in his own hands, he can make a fortune in a muffled voice, so why not expand the scale? Isn't there a famous saying in later generations, science and technology are the primary productive forces!

After thinking about it, Ao Lie asked Shuang'er: "Sister Shuang'er, I remember you said that in your hometown of Youbeiping, there is a lot of earthy incense for making golden silk leaves, right?" Shuang'er nodded without hesitation: "That's right, I still remember the most luxuriant slopes where the earth grows." Ao Lie lowered his head and thought for a while, his heart had a general framework, and then asked Shuang'er: "Then are there any trustworthy people around you who know Tuxiang?" ”

Shuang'er thought about it and said: "There are many people who know Tuxiang in my hometown, but I don't know if they still live in their hometown, the barbarians in the north always call, and they may move away." As for the people around me, there are Wan'er, Yuzhu, Lotus, well, and Xiaoyan, and others don't have them. ”

Ao Lie asked, "The four of them, are they credible?" Shuang'er patted her chest and said, "They are all good sisters who came out of their hometown with me, I believe in them, just like you trust me, Childe!" Because of Frost'er's movements, the two peaks on her chest that had begun to take shape shook violently a few times, but she didn't know it. Ao Lie, who watched it, almost didn't bite his tongue.

Rubbing his forehead and taking a few breaths, Ao Lie continued: "That's it, in two days, you bring the four of them to my room, I have something for them to do." Shuang'er happily agreed, and then turned around to get the basin, wanting to serve Ao Lie to wash, and when he bent over, Linglong's figure was revealed, and his round buttocks were facing Ao Lie. Ao Lie, who watched it, was in a heartbeat again.

Hurriedly turned his head, Ao Lie forcibly defended himself in his heart: No wonder people in ancient times got married so early, it was obviously a physiological need! This day guards the maids like flowers and jade, how many people hold them? Fortunately, my brother is a determined person.

In the end, Ao Lie didn't forget that he praised himself, and he completely forgot how embarrassed he was when he saw Shuang'er's jade breasts and buttocks just now.
