When Cao 'Cao' was shocked by the deliciousness of pumpkin soup, Zhang Liao and Xun You had already been sent to Luoyang. , the latest chapter access: Π¨Π¨Π¨.79xs.Π‘ΠΎΠ .
The two arrived and were received by Kuailiang.
Kuai Liang, as the first assistant of the cabinet of the Chu State, is above 10,000 people under one person. Kuai Liang personally received him, which shows the importance he attaches to Xun You and Zhang Liao.
However, as soon as Zhang Liao and Xun You arrived, Kuai Liang did not immediately discuss official affairs and arrange things, but summoned the cabinet members of Chu State, as well as the officials of the six ministries of the court, and made a special trip to pick up the dust for Xun You and Zhang Liao.
This level of wind and dust washing is the greatest respect.
In addition, Kuai Liang also prepared two mansions for Xun You and Zhang Liao for the two of them to live in.
Such a courtesy is not insignificant.
Xun You and Zhang Liao, who were originally a little apprehensive, relaxed a lot after receiving the wind and washing the dust, and lost their previous worries.
The next day, early in the morning.
Kuai Liang sent someone to invite Xun You and Zhang Liao to the office.
In the room, the guest and the host are seated.
Kuai Liang looked at Zhang Liao and Xun You, stroked the beard under his chin, and said unhurriedly: "This official and you are not the first time to meet, so I won't talk about those vain nonsense. β
"Your Majesty has sent a letter to ask the official to arrange for you. β
"But this officer has carefully considered that Wen Yuan is good at marching and fighting, arranging troops. Now in the rear of Luoyang, there is no possibility of war, and it is impossible for you to lead your troops to fight. β
"In the same way, Gongda is good at staff officers and military aircraft, and strategic layout, which is also related to warfare. In the big rear of Luoyang, it is not convenient to arrange you. β
Kuai Liang's tone was slow, but clear, and he continued: "However, let you go to the front line to attack Cao 'Cao', you are unwilling. β
Therefore, the official has a headache. β
"The official thought about it, and now there is a major event in Luoyang, which is in need of manpower and scheduling. You are all capable people, and you are responsible for this. β
Kuai Liang said the arrangement and also expounded his thoughts.
After Xun You listened to Kuai Liang's words, he bowed his head slightly and agreed with Kuai Liang's words.
He and Zhang Liao are both descendants of Cao Cao', and they are Cao's people, although they are obedient to Liu Xiu, but in the bottom of their hearts, they are unwilling to fight with Cao Cao' anymore.
Xun You asked, "Dare to ask Kuai Shoufu, what is the matter?"
Zhang Liao said: "Kuai Shoufu commanded." β
The attitude of both of them is very good.
Since he has submitted to Liu Xiu, he has a correct attitude and is no longer obsessed with the past.
Kuai Liang smiled and replied: "In the territory of my Chu State, there is a heaven-sent thing given to Your Majesty by God - pumpkin. It's pumpkin harvest season. β
"The first batch of pumpkins that will be planted will be planted by the government. β
"All the fields are patrolled by soldiers. β
"Today, the pumpkins are constantly ripening and are being transported into the warehouse in Luoyang for storage in batches. At the same time, the harvested pumpkins were also transported to various battlefields on the front line in batches. β
"The matter of collecting pumpkins, before you came, has always been done by the old man himself. Because pumpkins are so important that they can't go wrong. β
"Now that you two are here, you will take over. β
Kuai Liang has a heavy burden on his body, he can 'entrust' some things, and he can also kick his breath.
Kuai Liang said: "You two, be responsible for collecting all the ripe pumpkins and sending them to the granary. There are quite a lot of pumpkins to cultivate, and you will be very busy during this time. Of course, you are new to the city, and many of you don't know and don't understand, so the old man will arrange a familiar person to introduce you to you. β
Xun You and Zhang Liao frowned after hearing this.
In the hearts of the two of them, there was a trace of dissatisfaction, and they felt that Kuai Liang was playing tricks on them. Originally, they felt that Kuai Liang attached great importance to it, but now they feel that this is not the case.
Levy pumpkins?
Both of them are capable people, but they were sent to collect grain, what kind of arrangement is this? Whether it is Xun Yu or Zhang Liao, they are both proud people.
The two thought that Kuai Liang would arrange reasonable government affairs for them, but they never expected that such a thing would happen.
Kuai Liang looked at the demeanor of the two of them in his eyes and didn't say anything.
Pumpkin is a godsend, such an important thing, 'handed' in the hands of the two of them, is already a weight to Xun You and Zhang Liao. Not an ordinary person, he will not arrange it yet.
Xun You suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked, "What is a pumpkin?"
Kuai Liangshen was very calm, and said lightly: "The official has already said that pumpkins are a godsend. Since ancient times, it has never appeared, and the old man has lived a handful of years, and he has never seen it. Your Majesty has been blessed by God. β
As a person who witnessed Liu Xiu's miracle, Kuai Liang's worship of Liu Xiu has long come from his heart.
When he was in Xiangyang, he saw the matter of the Tianjiang meteorite.
In the royal palace, he witnessed the pumpkin seed affair.
In the field, he saw ten acres of sweet potato seedlings appear out of thin air.
One by one, one by one, all show that Liu Xiu has been favored by God. Therefore, Kuai Liang believes that 'handing' the pumpkin into the warehouse to Xun You and Zhang Liao is extremely sacred and quite meaningful.
Xun You didn't believe it.
As a son of the Xun family, Xun You traveled from south to north and was well-informed, and he knew that the world was big and full of wonders. The so-called miracles, Xun You didn't believe it.
The same is true for Zhang Liao.
Both of them have doubts and dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Xun You had already surrendered to Liu Xiu, he listened to Kuai Liang's explanation, and did not refute it, but just asked: "Kuai Shoufu, is the task of me and Zhang Wenyuan to put away the ripe pumpkins and send them to the warehouse?"
"Yes!"
Kuai Liang nodded and said: "The pumpkins ripe in the field are picked by their own farmers. Then all the pumpkins will be carried out, 'handed over' to you for weighing, and then they will be registered, and then they will be escorted by soldiers and transported to the granary. β
After a pause, Kuai Liang said: "If you say anything superfluous, the old man won't say anything, the more you talk about it, the more confused you become." It's not complicated, and with your ability and knowledge, it's bound to be more than enough to deal with. But you don't understand, and when you see it, you'll find out. β
Xun You nodded, and responded expressionlessly.
Zhang Liao sighed in his heart.
The two got the task, without the slightest excitement, nor did they feel valued, and they felt that they were idle. Yesterday, Kuai Liang received them ceremoniously, but today, he felt cold in his heart.
Kuai Liang commanded: "Come on!"
A 'squire' walked in, and Kuai Liang ordered, "Please come to Yang Hao." β
"Whoa!"
The 'squire' immediately went down.
Yang Hao is an old man under Liu Xiu, when Liu Xiu opened a scientific examination in Xiangyang, Yang Hao passed the scientific examination and became Liu Xiu's person. Later, Liu Xiu became the king, and Yang Hao became an official in the palace of the king of Chu. After moving the capital to Luoyang, Yang Hao also went to Luoyang, and is now an official in the household department.
After a while, Yang Hao came in.
Yang Hao's expression was calm, and when he saw Kuai Liang, he bowed his hand without humility or arrogance: "Xiaguan Yang Hao, please meet the first assistant." β
Kuai Liang said: "The task of collecting pumpkins is now 'handed over' to Xun You and Zhang Liao. In the early stage, you were also dealing with the collection of pumpkins, and now, you take them to familiarize themselves with the collection. β
"Whoa!"
Yang Hao should go down.
Yang Hao looked at Xun You, waved his hand and said, "Two adults, please come with me." β
Xun You and Zhang Liao said goodbye to Kuai Liang and followed Yang Hao out of the palace.
Xun You followed behind Yang Hao and asked, "Yang Hao, is the pumpkin really a godsend?" Regarding the so-called pumpkin, Xun You still has a skeptical attitude in his heart, not believing that the pumpkin was given by God.
When Yang Hao heard this, he stopped and stopped.
He suddenly laughed and explained: "Lord Xun was under Cao's '' before, and he didn't know that pumpkins were normal. In fact, before seeing the pumpkin, Zai also had suspicions. But when you really see it, you will know that what you say is true, and pumpkins are truly a godsend. β
"Really?"
Zhang Liao questioned the exit.
Yang Hao nodded solemnly and said: "Nature is true, there is no falsehood." The two lords are in charge of this, and they will take you to the fields to have a look, and when you see the pumpkins, you will understand. β
"It's good!"
Xun You nodded.
He wanted to see what kind of food pumpkin was.
Zhang Liao was also curious.
The group left Luoyang City in a carriage and went outside the city. After walking about ten miles, the carriage stopped. The three of them got out of the carriage and walked forward along the mountain road for a quarter of an hour before they came to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.
Here, there are soldiers stationed.
Yang Hao handed over the sign, introduced the identities of Xun You and Zhang Liao, and took Xun You and Zhang Liao into the area protected by the soldiers. After walking less than three miles, Yang Hao stopped.
The mountains are full of pumpkins.
The vines of pumpkins are luxuriant, occupying all corners of the field. Because pumpkins are easy to grow and easy to survive, pumpkins are also planted on some steep slopes.
Yang Hao pointed to a large field and said, "Two adults, this is just a part of the pumpkin in Luoyang. In the entire Luoyang area, most of the fields are planted with pumpkins. β
Xun You looked left and right, saw the big leaves one by one, and also saw the 'flower' bones of the pumpkin.
