Inside the hall.

"Look at me, I forgot to serve tea to everyone, it's a sin."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was a little solemn, Cao Bin slapped his forehead and confessed.

"Qinghe, hurry up and serve tea."

Cao Bin clapped his hands and motioned to the maid Qinghe who was standing aside.

"Whoa!"

Qinghe responded crisply and brought a set of tea sets.

This set of tea sets has more than a dozen small utensils such as covered bowls, teapots, fair cups, tea cups, tea trays, kettles, tea tubes, tea drains, tea clips, pot bearings, tea filters, tea knives, etc.

Coupled with the small stove for boiling water, it can be described as unique, which is completely different from the current popular tea culture.

At this time, tea culture had already begun to prevail, but it was a decoction method, in which various spices were added to the tea leaves to cook together, rather than the brewing method of later generations.

"Shu Wei Ji" records: "There is a real fragrant tea in Padang, which is decoction, makes people sleepless, and can be recited without forgetting." ”

After Cao Bin crossed, when he had nothing to do, he made up the tea set used in the tea brewing method in later generations.

As for the tea leaves, they are also grown and picked by his own hands.

At this time, with his order, Qinghe lit the stove, opened the teapot, cleaned the tea set, washed the tea, made tea...

A set of smooth movements attracted the attention of everyone present.

Soon, a faint fragrance of tea overflowed.

After brewing the tea, Qinghe poured the tea into a small teacup, and then sent it to everyone's cases in turn.

"Father, Xun Shangshu, Doctor Jia, Xu Langjiang, please use tea!"

Cao Bin picked up the teacup, stretched out his hand, and said to everyone.

After speaking, he took a sip and closed his eyes to experience the taste of tea circulating in his mouth.

"Okay, Father, try it."

Cao Cao came back to his senses, but he didn't twist, and picked up the teacup like him.

I saw that the tea soup in the cup was crystal clear and yellowish, and a faint fragrance came from the tip of the nose, which was refreshing.

I learned to take a sip of it, and I suddenly felt a chill in my stomach.

After a while, I felt refreshed and full of energy, and I felt as if all my exhaustion had disappeared.

"Bin'er, your way of drinking tea is unique, not bad."

After putting down the teacup, Cao Cao praised.

"A child's play, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, which makes the eldest father and you laugh."

Cao Bin smiled faintly and replied.

"Hmm... Bin'er, what do you mean by what you just said, can you elaborate? ”

Drinking tea is just a trail after all, Cao Cao just praised it and got down to business.

At this moment, he wanted to know if his eldest grandson had the kind of civil and military talent he had in the future.

Later, he could formulate a plan for cultivating his eldest grandson according to the actual situation.

"My grandson is only a shallow learner, how dare my grandson talk nonsense about such a major event in the court."

When Cao Bin heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he politely refused.

Traveling to the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Bin has a deep understanding of the class concept at this time.

The common people are in danger, only the disciples of the Han Sect are slightly better, and the family is the real ruler of the counties.

Take him as an example, although he has a slight reputation as a 'prodigy' in Qian County, he can only barely be regarded as a poor disciple.

With this kind of background, don't even think about being an official.

Although he became Lao Cao's grandson, he was initially out of the bottom of society.

But if you don't like Lao Cao, I'm afraid the future will be very difficult.

After all, Lao Cao has many descendants, and there are many people who are not in the audience's eyes, and he is not one of them.

"Today there is only a conversation between the eldest father and his grandson, you can speak freely!"

As if seeing his concerns, Cao Cao waved his hand and encouraged.

It is not good for young people to have the vigor of young people and be as cautious as middle-aged and elderly people.

"Since the eldest father wants to take the school for his grandson, then the grandson is not welcome."

Cao Bin gritted his teeth and said helplessly: "Please follow me to the study."

Since Lao Cao wants to take the school exam, then he has no choice but to be ugly.

"Okay."

Cao Cao did not object, and the others had no opinion.

"Shhhhh

Everyone followed Cao Bin to the study and was surprised.

I can only see that although the area of the study is not large, it looks like it is only seventy or eighty square meters.

But when I opened the door, I saw a tall bookshelf erected on three walls, forming a '匚' shape.

On the shelves, volumes of books are neatly arranged, from bottom to top, from the ground to the roof.

At a cursory glance, there are at least tens of thousands of books, and it is not too much to say that there are many books.

In addition to a large desk, there is also a herringbone ladder for easy access to books.

"Father, please take a seat, and you will also be seated."

After entering the study, Cao Bin moved a few Taishi chairs and asked everyone to sit down.

Everyone sat down on the Taishi's chair in a daze, and soon discovered the novelty of this chair.

Compared with the popular kneeling sitting, the Taishi chair has a backrest and is much more comfortable to sit on.

"Everyone, please see, this is the Kyushu Kanyu map I drew before."

When everyone was confused, Cao Bin had already taken a map from the bookshelf and hung it on the wall for everyone to see.

On the map, the borders and boundaries of the states and counties of the Han Dynasty are clearly marked in color, as well as the Wusun, Xianbei, Fuyu, Goryeo and other foreign races outside the Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty was divided into 14 prefectures, including Sili, Henan, Yan, Xu, Qing, Liang, Yong, Hebei, Yang, Jing, Yi, Jiao, You, and You, which were divided into various forces.

"Everyone, please look at the map."

Cao Bin pointed to the map and said: "This year, the eldest father waved his army south and fought with the Sun and Liu coalition forces, although he lost 200,000 troops, but it could not be regarded as a defeat. ”

"Before the war, our side controlled the entire territory of Jingzhou, but after the war, the army retreated to Xiangyang, and only Nanjun and Nanyang north of Xiangyang remained in Jingzhou, as well as part of Jiangxia County; and Liu Bei occupied the four counties of Jingzhou south of Jiangling; Sun Quan occupied Nam-gun and Gangxia-gun, centered on Gangneung. ”

"In fact, most of the sergeants and soldiers of our army are northerners, and they are not water-sensitive, even if they master the Gangneung waterway, it will not have much effect."

"But I don't need to say more about how important Xiangyang's strategic position is."

"Now, our side firmly occupies Xiangyang, retreats to protect the northern base camp, and can enter the south to conquer Sun Quan or the west to invade Liu Bei."

"And although Liu Bei and Sun Quan have formed an offensive and defensive alliance, in my opinion, this alliance cannot last long."

"As long as the eldest father does not reveal the intention of the southern expedition, they will have a gap, and the alliance will be self-defeating!"

"For the two of them, Jingzhou is the top priority, and it's normal to fall out over this place."

"We just need to bury our heads in development and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

"When our troops are strong and the grain and grass are sufficient, the eldest father can wave his army south at any time, sweep away Sun Quan and Liu Bei'er, recover Jiangdong and Shu, and dominate the mountains and rivers!"

He spoke freely, starting from the situation in the world after the Battle of Chibi.

It is implied that what Cao Cao needs now is to stabilize the interior, recuperate, pay attention to people's livelihood, and develop himself.

"Shhhhh

Everyone was shocked.
