Chapter 35: Chaotang'an, Lu Rui takes office!
"Congratulations to my father for fighting back against Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao realized the power of our Yang family." Yang Xiu came to beat Yang Biao's study and congratulated Yang Biao.
"Dezu is here? Dezu should remember that Cao Cao is not a benevolent person, and he must have a strategy to play against Cao Cao, and Dezu will enter Sikong Mansion tomorrow, so he must pay attention to his words and deeds. Yang Biao shook his head and glanced at Yang Xiu, just a small victory is so proud!
"Yes, Father!" Seeing that Yang Biao was displeased, Yang Xiu immediately restrained his words and deeds.
"Father, you gave Lu Rui a word, which is also a tacit understanding between you and Cao Cao." Yang Xiu glanced at Yang Biao and said confidently and slowly.
"What does Dezu think?"
"Father, the extraordinary exercise comes from Du Gongshang's words and deeds, which is Du Gong's praise for Uncle Gongwei, and his father compares Lu Rui to Uncle Gongwei, so Cao Cao is Du Gong."
"Dezu can see it thoroughly, and this is also a truth that the ministers can easily understand." Yang Biao nodded, his son is still quite smart.
"Du Gong is one of the eight chefs of the Han Dynasty, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, if Cao Cao compares himself to Du Gong, then Cao Cao will not have a rebellious heart against His Majesty now, and will still be loyal to the Han and support the Han."
"Yes, Dezu still knows another deep meaning of Cao Cao's plan?" Yang Biao touched his beard and asked Yang Xiu.
"Dezu has a guess in his heart, please confirm it from my father!"
"Say it!"
"Father, Duke Du and Uncle Gongwei are all from the Hanmen, is Cao Cao's move to reuse the Hanmen?"
"Dezu only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other." Yang Biao took a sip of tea and glanced at Yang Xiu.
"Father, please."
This is Cao Cao's heart to highlight his meritocracy to the world, the so-called family is many, and the poor family is handsome. As long as there is talent, Cao Cao will reuse it, this is another layer of Cao Cao's intention, and the talents lurking in Xu Du have a chance to display. ”
"Father, please forgive the child for being stupid, won't Cao Cao's move harm the interests of our family? Father still supports Cao Cao? ”
"Humph! Dezu was born in a family, of course he doesn't know the suffering of the poor family, and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning! Could it be that the ancestor of my Yang family is also a family? However, Dezu must remember that talent is the way to base itself on today's troubled times. ”
"Yes, father, the child understands!" Yang Xiu also knows that there are not many talents in the family, most of them are mediocre people, and his father has a lot of pig heads, and he uses pig heads to do things, or he uses talents to do things, and the efficiency is clear at a glance.
"Dezu, when you get to Cao Cao's Sikong Mansion, you have to do your best to do things for Cao Cao, and we will soon face our common enemy!" Yang Biao waved his cuffs, revealing a disdainful expression.
"Father means."
"Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu! This person has always disobeyed His Majesty is the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and the deceased emperor Liu Wei is orthodox, in fact, there is a difference between high and low, and a discerning person will know at a glance that Yuan Shao is the henchman of the Han compared to Cao Cao! Yang Biao hammered the table, and there was a fierce look in his eyes.
"Yes, father. The child will definitely behave well in Sikong Mansion! Yang Xiu respectfully bowed to Yang Biao.
Lu Rui's crown ceremony, as a reconciliation between Cao Cao's faction and Yang Biao's faction, the court restored calm after Dong Cheng's rebellion.
Early in the morning, on the Sikong Mansion, in Lu Rui's yard, the people were busy packing up their things, packing and transporting carriages, Lu Rui was not lazy today, got up early, went to Cao Cao's yard, said goodbye to Cao Cao, bowed, and was about to leave Cao's mansion.
"The child has seen the middle father, the eldest mother!" Entering Cao Cao's room, Lu Rui gave Cao Cao and Ding a big gift and knelt down.
"Extraordinary, get up!"
"Father Xie Zhong!"
"If you leave the house today, you will be an adult, and you will come back often in the future, the master likes you very much, you go and say goodbye to him!" Cao Cao has also explained what he should have explained, and today, it is just a formality.
"Farewell child!" Lu Rui said goodbye to the two and walked towards Cao Song's courtyard.
After visiting Cao Song, Lu Rui got into a carriage, left Sikong Mansion, and came to the original General Zuo's Mansion, which has now been changed to Qihou Mansion.
Entering his mansion in Xudu, Lu Rui took a turn, it's okay, the mansion left by Liu Daer is quite big, and he doesn't have high requirements for living, it's good to have a place to live, anyway, there hasn't been much time in Xudu in the past few years.
Lu Rui came to the backyard, and suddenly his eyes lit up, the vegetable garden left by Da Er Liu was still there, and the green vegetables in it were still green, hehe, Liu Da Er is really a master of growing vegetables, this should be kept, and the food can be improved in the future. Lu Rui instructed Diao Chan to take good care of the vegetable garden and grow good vegetables for the house to enjoy.
After instructing the precautions, Lu Rui returned to his yard and fell asleep, he had to get up early tomorrow, and he still had to make up for sleep.
"Master Hou, it's time to get up, today is your first day in office." Ling'er woke up Lu Rui early in the morning, today is Lu Rui's first day as the general of the pawn farmer, and he must set an example.
After Lu Rui finished bathing and changed into his official uniform, he took a carriage to the Diannong Zhonglang General's Mansion outside the city. The so-called Zhonglang General's Mansion is a farm set up outside the city of Xudu, Cao Cao attaches great importance to agriculture and deliberately separates agriculture from it.
"Zao, Mao Jie's meeting of General Zhonglang!" As soon as Lu Rui arrived at the Zhonglang General's Mansion, the two main subordinates came to ask to meet, two big bulls!
Lu Rui looked at the two of them, the hair rank is common, and the strategists who go in and out of the Sikong Mansion are not common, because they have been in Tuntian for a long time, so they are relatively dark.
"Well, Captain Zao and Xiao are invited first, so you don't have to be polite." Mao Jiejie is a landlord of the cold door, there are words, but there is no word for jujubes, it is estimated that it is a kind of person like Xi Zhicai, not even a landlord, so there is no word, in the Three Kingdoms, the crown ceremony is generally a product of the landlord class, after all, the peasants have not solved the problem of eating, what kind of writing? The so-called cangli is real, know etiquette!
"Thank you, sir!" When the two of them saw the salute, they got up and stood aside.
"Captain Jujube?"
"The subordinates are here!"
"Does the jujube captain have a table?" It's not good to always call the jujube captain, at least there is a table!
"This?"
"Lord Qiyu, his subordinates are from a low background, and they have to be appreciated by Lord Sikong, so they have today's position, as for the table, there is no virtuous and respected person in the family, and there is no noble person, so there is no table word, please forgive me."
Sure enough, it is a toiling mass born from the real peasant class, no wonder Tuntian is so powerful, others are practical factions!
"Captain Zao, how about Ben Hou help you get a table word?" Lu Rui is the Hou Ye, and he can give words to others according to his qualifications, just like giving words to Dian Wei in Cao Cao's history, but in this time and space, Lu Rui helped Lao Cao do it for him.
"Thank you, Master Hou!" When Zao Yi heard this, he quickly knelt down and thanked Lu Rui. Lu Rui's words are not only as simple as having words, but also means that jujube can only enter the landlord class of the poor family, and his children will also have words in the future.
"Good! Zao Captain Tuntian has contributed to the people, and this Hou Ye will give the Zao Captain the word for the people, and I hope that the Zao Captain will serve Sikong well in the future and handle the affairs of Tuntian. ”
"Thank you Lord Hou for your great kindness, Zao Yi will only serve Lord Hou, serve Lord Sikong, do a good job in Tuntian, and make more meritorious contributions to the people!" Zao Yi knelt down again and made a big bow to Lu Rui.
"Jimin doesn't need to be polite, let's get up!" This is the art of mastering? As a Hou Ye, he is still very useful in this era.
"Thank you, sir."
"Okay, you follow me to the tuntian everywhere to have a look, and I can also understand the tuntian affairs of Xu Du." As a pawn farmer general, he has to perform his duties.
"Yes, sir!"
Subsequently, the three of them left the Zhonglang General's Mansion with their men and horses and came to the land of Tuntian in the suburbs. Xudu's tuntian is divided into military tun and min tun, military tun, naturally Cao Cao's regular sergeant tuntian, but now there are fewer military tun, after all, war is a big deal, now the so-called military tun is just a local garrison and some veterans who have lost their combat effectiveness in farming. Mintun is very well understood, and the people are tuntian.
"Bufan, why are you here?"
"General Xiahou!"
"Uncle Yuanrang!" Xiahoudun's sergeant also tuntian here.
"My nephew is here to inspect Tuntian."
"By the way, I forgot, it's a Zhonglang general, let's see how Uncle Xiahou's Tuntian is!" Xiahoudun patted Lu Rui's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Uncle is polite!" Lu Rui arched his hand and looked at Xiahoudun's soldier Tuntian. There has been no war yet, and many troops are still stationed in the farmland near Xudu, setting up military camps.
Are there people in shackles? Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Uncle, who are those people who wear shackles, and why are there still people in the army who wear crimes?" ”
"Those? Those are the prisoners left behind during the crusade against Xuzhou and Huainan, these captives are really difficult to deal with, and they are disobedient, according to the instructions of the eldest brother, they will now build a military camp here, and when they are integrated into our army, they will be incorporated into the army! ”
As soon as Lu Rui heard it, he understood that these captives were carrying out ancient ideological education classes, after all, they would serve Cao Cao if they did not surrender, and there would be a process for them, Cao Cao gave them Tuntian, and with a sense of belonging, they would naturally be easy to be obedient when the time came. Choose the essence or not more, the essence of Cao Cao's training!
After Lu Rui said goodbye to Xiahoudun, he continued to inspect other military and Mintun with Zao Ji and Mao Jie.
"Master Hou be careful!" Lu Rui had just arrived at a small stream, and suddenly slipped a little, but fortunately he was helped by the jujube.
"Out of the way! Out of the way! Lu Rui grabbed Zaoji's hand and stood up. I saw the stream in front of me, the water flow was very fast, and Lu Rui was slipped by the small stone by the stream.
"This stream is very fast!"
"Alas! It's a pity that you can't see this flowing water in the summer. ”
"Oh, what do you mean by this?" In official affairs, it is better to call the position, after all, this is an inspection.
"Adults don't know, in recent years, there has been more rain in spring and winter, and there is little rain in summer, taking the stream in front of Hou Ye as an example, in summer, I'm afraid it will be a pile of bare stones!"
"Oh?" Lu Rui picked up a small stone, threw it into the stream, and sank with a plop, judging by the speed, the stream was still relatively deep. Not in the summer?
"Captain Mao, is there enough water for farmland irrigation in summer?" When Lu Rui saw this scene, he couldn't help but ask.
"Lord Qiyu, the water problem has plagued farmers for generations, and only by looking forward to the blessing of God can there be a good weather, abundant rain, and moisturize all things." Mao Jie arched his hand and replied.
"Won't you build a reservoir?" Lu Rui casually said a new term.
"Reservoir?"
"I don't know what the reservoir in Hou Ye's mouth is? The subordinates have only heard of the treasury, but not the reservoir! The two looked at Lu Rui suspiciously.
"There are no reservoirs in the Three Kingdoms?"
"By the way, I don't think I've seen it, hehe! It's time for me to put my talents to work! Lu Rui looked at the stream and smiled. (Entered the mountain, the network is not good, sometimes it is late, please forgive me.) )
