Cao Cao had the surrender of Huang Zu, and the Jiangbei region of Jingzhou was under his control except for a lonely city in Jiangling, and the two major war zones of Jingbei and Huainan were opened, and the transmission of information was more convenient than in the past. Cao Cao was still on the way back, so he immediately sent a letter to Lu Su and Tai Shici, and then they forwarded Chen Deng and Xu Xuan, and finally sent the order to Shixun. Cao Cao's meaning is very clear, the war is over, and I will not be able to capture Wuhui in a short time, so Hongfu, you can also collect your troops and go back.

Theoretically, of course, Shi Xun can stay on Rugao Island for a long time and continue to harass Jiangdong, so it won't take two or three years, I'm afraid that before Cao Cao waves his army south again, the Jiangdong Sun regime itself will collapse first. Dozens of sea ships and thousands of soldiers and horses are stationed in Rugao, and the pressure on Xuzhou is too great, don't wait for the collapse of the Sun family, and eat Xuzhou poor first...... Therefore, it is okay to collect troops.

Of course, Shixun also understands this truth, and Xu Xuan ran to Rugao to cry poor not once or twice. So he put back all the requisitioned Huiji sea ships first, and most of the goods were transshipped and sold, and the rest was directly repaid to Xu Xuan, and there was no return, but the four prefectures of Xu, Deng, You, and Ping were compensated for the reduction and exemption of commercial taxes within five years.

This matter was reported to Cao Cao by Xun Yu, and the assassination history of the states was also notified, and it is estimated that it will not be refuted. In fact, Kosuke was only a little more far-sighted than most bureaucrats in those days, and he was not an epoch-making business wizard -- although he came from a modern commodity society, he did not study business seriously. The reason used by Shixun to persuade the people was to use agriculture as an example: "If the burden is heavy, the people will flee, and if the people flee, the fields will be famine, and the fields will be empty." The position is empty and the benefits are important. The world is in turmoil because of this. The same goes for businessmen. If the tax is heavy, the business will not come, and why should the business not be engraved? If you dry up, you can't get fish, but if you raise it first, you can get fish. ”

Of course, he also reminded the rulers that they had to start harvesting after a certain amount of raising, and they could not be like the later Ming Dynasty, where the commercial tax was so light that there was almost nothing. Commerce is prosperous because of this, but the country does not get the slightest benefit, and all the local gentry are fattened.

Xuzhou Thorn Shi Chen Dengwei is Xun's in-law and friend, Dengzhou Thorn Shi is Yi is Xun's uncle, he himself guards Youzhou, and he also has a great influence on Pingzhou, needless to say. As for the history of Ying, Qing, and Haizhou, if you don't have a relationship, you won't have to hit a wall - besides, whether your business is prosperous there or not is my business.

Now follow the original path and return to Youzhou. On the way, he encountered many winds and waves, but fortunately he was closer to the shore. The sailors were all good and did not suffer much loss. Passing by Dengzhou, the old rule is to visit Shiyi again - Shixun himself doesn't really want to see the old man, but where the ceremony is, he can't enter through his door, I'm afraid that others will say it.

Shi Yi also set up a banquet and entertained, and asked in detail about the Southern Expedition, and it was Xun who told me eloquently, and he was quite moved to hear it, and turned his head and said to his father, I have nothing to do at home anyway, so we might as well get one or two sea boats, and I will lead the trade. Shi Yi dismissed on the spot - "Don't listen to Hongfuyun, the wind and waves at sea are unpredictable, you are the head of the clan, and you can perform this dangerous place?!" ”

In fact, those who do not take risks are still second, and the troubled times have not ceased, and bandits in various places are still emerging in an endless stream -- in the more than half a year since Cao Cao's southern expedition alone, there have been more than one or two disturbances caused by tax resistance in various parts of the Central Plains -- even if they live on land for a long time, it will be difficult to ensure their safety after all. It's just that Yi understands that his eldest son, who only knows how to read dead books, not only does he not have the ability to engage in politics, but he also has no ability to buy a house, so he said that he wanted to engage in sea trade, but he was annoyed by his father and looked for an opportunity to escape for a few days. Therefore, he refused.

During the banquet, Shi Yi suddenly took care of Shi Xun: "Liaodong is peaceful, Lelang has been restored, your family has broken early, and you have lived in the Central Plains for a long time, why don't you move your relatives to Xiangziye?" "You can't leave your dad alone in Lelang, how many years won't you go to worship, right? It is better to move him back to the ancestral grave of the camp.

When Shi Xun heard this, he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart - he had long expected such a day, but he kept covering his ears and stealing the bell, and he could delay it for a while. At the moment, he snorted and said: "I would like to, but I have no leisure ......" is Yi glared, saying that you are now guarding Youzhou, and you can reach Lelang in a few days when you go to sea, is it difficult to take a few days off? How can you say that there is no leisure? "Filial piety is the first, you stand up by scriptures, and if you are not filial, who is the person in the world?"

If you think about it, the Han people established the country with filial piety, and even the name of the Son of Heaven must add a word "filial piety" -- what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty are the abbreviations of later generations, and when it comes to these years, they must be called "Emperor Xiaowu" and "Emperor Xiaoming" -- the Eastern Han Dynasty still worships Confucianism, and Confucianism pays more attention to filial piety. On the signboard of his shining "Guwen Grandmaster", if he is smeared with a trace of "unfilial" filth, then the whole thing will not be able to be seen. In desperation, I had to promise to be a ritual: "When my nephew returns to the secluded, I will do it on a certain day." ”

When I boarded the boat and set off again, I felt frightened for several days, and it seemed that I had some bad premonition. Zhuge Liang saw that he looked uncertain, and asked the reason, so he asked him: "Kong Ming believes in ghosts?" Zhuge Liang said: "Zi is silent, strange and confused, far away, who can believe it?" Shi Xun asked again: "But Kong Ming believes in fate?" Zhuge Liang said: "Heaven and earth operate, have their own luck, and they are combined with people, and they are fate." However, the sky is cloudy and sunny, people have blessings and misfortunes, although the number of fates is fixed, it can also be changed, and there is no need to worry. Shi Xun nodded slightly, and said in his heart that people in these years are more or less superstitious, and it is impossible to completely deny the existence of ghosts and gods and fate, I don't believe it at all - the problem is that my heart is uncomfortable, what's going on?

By the time I arrived in Youzhou, it was early summer, the grass was growing and the climate was pleasant. Guan Jing, Zhuge Jin and other subordinate officials all went to the beach to greet each other. Shi Xun first arranged the sailor, and then rode back to Jicheng, and the county guard Sima Yi was already waiting in the suburbs, so he entered the city with Shi Xun. Immediately, all the official affairs that had been delayed for so long were all spread out in front of him, but fortunately, the officials were diligent and capable, and most of them were handled quite properly, and Shixun only needed to pay attention to the dozen or so things that his subordinates did not dare to take up their minds. Even so, he hurriedly lived for half a month, and just had a little leisure, Shi Jun ran over and asked, "When will the seventh brother go to Lelang to bury his uncle?" ”

Shi Xun knew that he couldn't avoid this, but since he didn't force it, he instinctively made an excuse to delay, and just like that, he carried it for more than a month, and it was already midsummer. One day, suddenly Jun came over with a letter: "My father came to write, he has resigned from the task of assassinating history, and he is about to go north to welcome his relatives in Lelang with the seventh brother." ”

Ahh Yes Yi, you and Shi Yi are not very affectionate brothers, do you need to be so enthusiastic?!

If according to the original history, Yifu lived a long life, and lived to be eighty-one years old (the ancients talked about the virtual age, how could the real age be eighty), Zhuge Kongming, who was more than one round younger than him, had been hanging for a long time, and he was still alive there.

It is Xun's mother's family name in his previous life, so although there is a legend in the "Book of Wu", this one who is actually a semi-soy sauce crowd is Ziyu, which has been carefully studied - although there are not many of his deeds. If there is no involvement of his own, Shi Yi will go south to his fellow villager Liu Miao in the turmoil in Qingzhou, and wait until Liu Miao is defeated by Sun Ce, that is, he will move to Huiji to live in seclusion, and only after Sun Quan ascends the throne will he "Youwen Zhengyi" - summon him to be an official with elegant and gorgeous letters. In other words, if you want to put aside the original history, this year is Yi's eunuch journey in Soochow has just begun, and the future is bright, so I would definitely not think of Zhishi.

Since then, Shi Yi has been staying by Sun Quan's side, and later followed Sun Quan to succeed Lu Meng and went to Jingzhou to fight Guan Yu. However, his position has not been very high, and he only became a general after defeating Guan Yu, and only became a partial general after breaking Cao Xiu - it is estimated that it is because he can't fight, he has no military merits, and he is just a clerk next to the boss, and he is just a little bit of light. Shi Yi himself also knows very well that he is a soldier, Sun Quan wanted to give him a private soldier, but he politely declined - I don't know how to fight at all, why do you want soldiers?

It is estimated that after Sun Quan became emperor, it was the second-rate scribes of Yi Road who were able to stand in the court, be awarded prominent positions, and have been able to shoot scholars. However, there are prime ministers and generals in Eastern Wu, and the grade and role of Shangshutai are much lower than those of the late Han Dynasty and Cao Weina.

And on this timeline, it is Yi Wei is Xun "who does not avoid relatives", and one step to the sky is the history of Dengzhou's assassination, and all the sons and slaves are all officials in the court or in the local government, so it can be said that the development prospects are much broader. The old man is good at health preservation, people in their fifties, their eyes are not dazzled, their ears are not deaf, and they can walk like flying with a must-try, and people in this era can see at a glance the potential of having a birthday star, why do you suddenly think of resigning? And he came to accompany him to Lelang?

It's weird, it's weird, does the old man want to inherit his career? But that kid is so stubborn, if he doesn't have his father to escort him in the officialdom, I'm afraid he will have to fall into trouble if he can't take two steps, and maybe the whole clan will be affected. Or does the old man not want to be a foreign official anymore, but wants to enter the DPRK and China for development? Then you should come and greet me first, with my energy, isn't it a matter of a word to summon you back to Beijing?

Well, maybe he came so enthusiastically to help me bury my "dead father" just to please me, and then ask me to say a few kind words for him before Prime Minister Cao Cheng...... But do you need to quit first? Are you not afraid that the loser has lost, and the winner must not, and in the end "the bamboo basket will be empty"?

What the hell does this old thing think?

Shi Xun was puzzled, and waited until Shi Yi really came to Youzhou to finally reveal the mystery. (To be continued......)
