Chapter 21 The New Layout of Youzhou
"Madame management?"
Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief and was stunned at the same time, looking at Yuan Xi's gaze with some meaning.
Yuan Xi was a little embarrassed by him, but he immediately raised his head and said: "I call it a bowl of water, I understand it, one is inside and one is outside, you can't be eccentric." ”
"I know, I know, my lord, let's talk about what printing is all about."
Seeing Xu Shu's face coping with himself, Yuan Xi was unwilling but helpless, so he had to pick up a book on the table and hand it to him.
Xu Shu saw that it was a paper book, and immediately took it and flipped through it, and when he saw it, he was amazed.
"The handwriting is clear, the paper is tough, this is a heirloom treasure, and the work of the lord is comparable to that of the ancestors!"
This compliment made Yuan Xi embarrassed, and was about to say a few words modestly, Cui Jun said solemnly: "Yes, the nun has no class, and there are only 3,000 people under the door. It's Kenya! ”
Yuan Xi is really embarrassed now, this is to compare him with Confucius, Confucius was respected as the master of all generations later, and the Han Dynasty was not even a saint.
Honoring Confucius as a saint was only formal in the Yuan Dynasty, and before that, only Li Shimin had called the word sage, but the honorific title was also a duke, and it was only when Li Longji was honored as the king of Wenxuan.
The Han Dynasty gave Confucius the nickname of Baocheng Xuanni Gong, Yuan Xi from later generations, who knew how cautious the ancients were about the word sage.
What kind of literary saint, martial saint, soldier saint and other titles, later generations are flying all over the sky, but in the Qin and Han dynasties, not everyone can be called a saint, I am afraid that except for Fuxi and Nuwa, no one can be called a saint.
Four days later, news came from Yuyang County that Wang Song, under the persuasion of his advisers, surrendered the city, but Wei Yanqi, who had just arrived under the city of Quanzhou, did not want to eat.
Before he fought, the other party was forced to surrender by Gan Ning, he wanted to be angry with Gan Ning, but people didn't provoke him, Wang Song coaxed himself, can he blame Gan Ning.
After Yuan Xi received the news, he was silent for a long time and said, "Wang Song is easy to do, but should Liu Fang stay or send it to Xudu?" ”
He didn't dare to say this to his ministers, so he could only tell his wife Zhen in the back house.
Liu Fang is a relative of the Han family, and after Liu Hong, the Marquis of Xixiang, he is the first line of the Shun King of Guangyang of the Liu family, and he belongs to the distant imperial family like Liu Bei, but the difference is that his name is recorded on the imperial jade plate.
Zhen, who is the person next to the pillow, doesn't know that her husband doesn't want to restore the Han Dynasty, but he doesn't dare to say it.
Gently persuaded: "Liu Ziqi is already a distant relative, and no one in the world will support him, as long as he is willing to contribute to his husband, why turn him away and let people leave a handle." ”
Yuan Xi scratched his head, it's right to think about it, not everyone is as persevering as Liu Bei, Cao Cao has a closer royal disciple Liu Ye.
And Liu Ye's talent is extraordinary, but he has assisted the three generations of the Cao family all the way to Cao Rui, which shows that not everyone wants to be Liu Bei.
"It's still a good wife and a vision, how fortunate it is!"
Yuan Xi pretended to praise his wife, and when he saw that the maids around him didn't dare to look at them, he reached out and grabbed Zhen's little hand and stroked it, which made Zhen's face blush.
Until a light cough, Yuan Xi withdrew his hand like an electric shock, turned his head to look, and saw his sister-in-law Zhen Jiang looking at him with a smile, and quickly fled.
is still in the period of filial piety, but he can't let people misunderstand that he can't hold back, especially these days, he can also see that Zhen Yao intends to marry Zhen Jiang to himself.
Of course he will not object to this, Zhen Jiang is also a great beauty, and his wife Liu also likes her, saying that she is dignified and virtuous, and she is still a good child.
Liu's life in Youzhou is very comfortable now, and she doesn't want to go back to Jizhou at all, and she is also frightened when Jizhou is attacked twice in a row.
Now that I have figured it out, the youngest son and the second son are both born to themselves, and they are not all the same in any son's house.
A few days later, when the army returned, Wei Yan asked with a look of hope: "Lord, Tian Yu of the last general Jue is also a thorn, is it okay for me to pull him out?" ”
Yuan Xi said angrily: "Get out!" Coupled with Wang Song's men and horses, there are only more than 20,000 soldiers in Youzhou, and they hurried back to Zhuo County to train troops, maybe they can catch up with Jizhou to support Jizhou. ”
Wei Yan stopped at this time, remembering that Cao Cao would go crazy this time, and grinned happily, he still had a battle to fight.
At this time, Cao Cao's army had come back and was heading towards Hanoi, and the person warned by Yuan Shang had already arrived in Youzhou, and this kid now finally saw clearly that his second brother was very strong.
In the afternoon of the same day, a meeting was held in the Youzhou Assassin's Mansion to analyze the overall situation of the battle between Yuan and Cao, and it was agreed that Hanoi could not hold it and could only delay Cao Cao for a while.
However, it is possible to hold Hedong, because Cao Cao may not fight Hedong to the death, but to trick Ma Teng and Han Sui in Guanxi to attack.
And Han and Ma were still close last year, but this year there are already signs of splitting, as long as Gao Gan takes advantage of the discord between the two of them, it is entirely possible to defeat them.
And after they are defeated and retreated, Cao Cao may not have time to fight Hedong anymore, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou has been bullied for so long, it is possible to fight back.
Yuan Xi actually didn't think so, he knew that Liu Biao was old and only wanted to keep Jingzhou safely, but he chose not to refute it, and it was more important to bury his head in the development of Youzhou.
As for Hedong and Hanoi, it was a complete accident that they were taken down, and there was no need to dwell on them in the original history.
Therefore, he ordered: "Prepare for my uncle's caravan, the focus of this trip is Jingzhou, promote the books, and don't do anything else, lest someone catch the handle, and the caravan will no longer be able to go south." ”
Zhen Yao got up and responded, the focus of Youzhou this time is to publicize, promote the books printed in Youzhou, let the people of the world know that there are still a large number of cultural books in Youzhou, and attract readers to come to Youzhou.
The Zhen family is a businessman, and even if Yuan Cao is hostile, he has never forbidden commercial interaction between the two sides, to put it bluntly, this is what both sides need.
As long as the Zhen family's caravan does not act as a traitor, Cao Jun will not stop them, and similarly, Cao Cao's merchants will go north unimpeded.
"Zi Han left the Assassin Mansion as the Assassin Shi Peng, and Zi abandoned it and returned to Zhuo County to do it?"
Yuan Xi looked at Wang Song and Liu Fang, and the two of them hurriedly got up and bowed and saluted: "Thank you, lord, dare not obey your life!" ”
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Youzhou has a thin foundation, so I have wronged you for the time being, but Xi promises that he will not treat the two heroes badly in the future." ”
The two of them didn't dare to say that the generals of the defeated army were not brave, Yuan Xi said with a straight face: "The two are not the generals of the defeated army, they are for the safety of the people, and they put down their arms in righteousness. ”
This moved the two of them badly, and the others also nodded secretly, very satisfied that they had voted for a master.
"Chaoqun prepare, come with me to Zhuojun tomorrow."
Wei Miao was stunned, and quickly got up to agree, Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Don't be restrained, prepare your dress, go to Zhuojun to participate in the crown ceremony of Lu Zi's family, the son of Lu Zhonglang, and you will work with him in Zhuojun in the future and get along well." ”
