Cao Peng, Cao Jian, a household in Yandao County, has been in pain and happy for the past few days.

Painfully, Yizhou Thorn Shi Luo Shang has vigorously recruited people from various counties to CD. According to Luo Shang's latest order, all counties along Pishui should build a defensive perimeter to prevent the displaced people from having any gaps to cross the river. The state overwhelms the county, and the county puts the task down on the counties. Every county has been busy these days. Some were responsible for gathering people to cut down trees, some were responsible for collecting taxes from various households, and some even went directly to some homes to catch people to serve.

Cao Jian has always been very liked by the county magistrate Zhang Meng. In Zhang Meng's eyes, Cao Jian is the most sensible and discerning subordinate. Whenever there are many things that he wants to do but can't say, Cao Jian will be the first to stand up and help him. Even every day, Cao Jian would take the trouble to report to Zhang Meng what so many subordinates under him did and said in private. This made Zhang Meng feel that he had been an official in three places, and he had never had a subordinate so loyal to him as Cao Jian.

Cao Jian's home is on the other side of the Sanjiang estuary. The county seat of Yandao is at the junction of the three rivers, just like a huge "person" word. The county seat of Yandao is below the word "person", and Cao Jianjia is on the right side of the word "person", and he has to cross the Jinsha River. And the clever Marquis of Yandao, starting from the county seat of Yudao and going south along the Jinsha River, is his fiefdom.

Cao Jianjia is also a big family in Yandao County, and in terms of strength, it is only under the Gongsun family. His family and Gongsun's family are both on the right side of the word "people", which has the most cultivated land and the most spiritual fields in Yandao County. But Cao Jian originally had no status in the Cao family at all. Although he has a spiritual vein, he is a concubine, a concubine of a small sect. Since he was a child, he has been coldly regarded and bullied, and he has developed the ability to observe faces. In the eyes of the patriarch of the Cao family, Cao Jian is the most hardworking person among the children of the family, and the one who is the most considerate of the interests of the family. Therefore, he tried his best to disagree and sent Cao Jian to Qiao's house in Shu County to listen to a one-year course. After coming back, when the then Yandao county magistrate recruited subordinates from their family, he strongly recommended Cao Jian, the concubine. And Cao Jian did not live up to the expectations of their patriarch, and the two county magistrates praised Cao Jian.

Over the years, Cao Jian's status in the family has become higher and higher, and his life has become more and more relaxed. He married a beautiful lady, and one of his three children was a monk with three spiritual veins. For him, a monk with only one spiritual vein, and even for the Cao family, the talent of three spiritual veins was rare for their family in the past generations.

He secretly vowed to do everything in his power to train his gifted son to become the most high-grade monk in the history of the Cao family. Five, or four, what a glory it should be!

How difficult it is to raise a monk!

Their ancestors of the Cao family are not as wide as Li Xiangzu, nor are they as wide as the ancestors of the Gongsun family, and they are not even as good as the ancestors of the Jian Lan family, who have a profound practice and have the cultivation experience that has been passed down from generation to generation. Their family can be traced back, and the highest-grade monk who has ever produced is only a seventh-grade monk. According to their family's genealogy, their family was the first batch of tun households to migrate from Jingzhou when Emperor Wu of Shang opened the Wuchi Road in the past year, and they were the most ordinary tun households. I don't know what the name of the cultivation mantra circulated in the family is, and no one in his family understands the theory, but he has some experience over the generations, and he has been groping and accumulating little by little. Today, their Cao family also has five monks, although the grade is not high, but it is a family with five monks. Several of the big families here are like the Cao family, all of whom were descendants of the tun households who migrated from Jingzhou with the Cao family to protect the five-foot road for the big merchants.

Back then, it was a barren place. The local servants were very afraid of the big merchants, and let them, the tun households, slowly occupy the best cultivated land and spiritual fields. His family made a fortune like this, and so did Huang Yuan's family over there. Every time they talk about this history, they will be glad that their ancestors came thousands of miles to the most remote place of the empire to open up the territory for the empire, and they have since owned a spiritual field that will benefit future generations. And with their status as civilians back then, it was impossible for them to have Lingtian in their hometown no matter what.

However, as the population grows larger, and as more and more children have spiritual veins, the spiritual valley produced by the family is obviously not enough for so many people to use. And this inspired Cao Jian to work harder.

He himself is only a nine-rank monk, and it is estimated that this is the case in this life. But he was absolutely unwilling to accept that his son, who had three spiritual veins, had only been at the level of nine or eight grades for the rest of his life.

In the Great Jin Dynasty, if you want to become the county magistrate and county commander of the ruling party, you must at least have a six-grade monk, which is the hard standard of the Great Jin. If you want to become a county guard, you must at least be a five-grade monk. If you want to become the assassin of a state, you must at least be a fourth-grade monk.

Cao Jian's goal for himself was to train his son to at least become a six-rank monk. If his son can really get his wish and become a majestic county magistrate in the future, then he will be the first county magistrate and the first official that their Cao family ancestors have ever produced!

What a glory that is!

And if he wants to train his son to become a talent, it is not enough to rely on the little spirit valley and his little money assigned to him by their family.

So, when he took over this errand to check the people after crossing the river, he was very happy.

It's easy to say anything, it's hard to say anything.

As long as you give money to this Lord Cao, then you are a deserter and not a deserter.

But if you don't give money, sorry, you've already been here many times on a business trip, and you've been arrested as a deserter.

On this day, he was still lying leisurely in the pavilion by the river. Suddenly, one of his soldiers ran over panting and said urgently: "My lord, it's not good, there is a fight by the river." ”

When Cao Jian heard this, he stood up in an uproar and shouted: "Who is the person who has eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and dares to beat an official?

"A man and a woman. The soldier responded, "The man is dressed in tatters, and he has a sword and a bow in his hand, and he looks like a deserter." The woman looked like a rich lady. ”

Hearing that it was just two people, Cao Jian suddenly felt a lot more relieved, picked up his long sword, and said, "Let's go, take me to see." I want to see what these two people really look like? How dare a deserter beat an official? Do you really think that your neck is harder than a steel knife?"
