Chen Liu.

Inside the government office, he walked in quickly from the main gate, Xu Zhen strode inward, followed by Cao Ang and Zhuge Liang.

The guard who came this time was Xia Houen.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu did not come, because they had to be on duty in the imperial city under the command of the Son of Heaven.

Xu Zhen's expression was more solemn, and after walking directly into the main hall, he took a sip of water, sat in front of the desk and took out an ancient book from the Spring and Autumn Period, but he couldn't read it.

"Junhou, I still think it's very strange, in fact, there is not much of a problem with the winter disaster, why did Dong Wan deliberately write a letter to ask Junhou to come here."

"There are still soldiers and horses stationed in Chenliu County, and the commander is Wen Zhen, he has never sent a recital of the winter disaster to Xudu, and after arriving this time, we have arranged all the matters in just half a day, so that the displaced people can go to Xudu from outside the city."

"At the same time, because of this year's bumper harvest, there is no need to reduce or reduce grain taxes, and the people will pay the same.

Cao Ang paced with his back to his back, instinctively feeling that things were not simple, he had received the Book of the People in Chenliu County, especially in Jiwu and Chen Liucheng.

Of course, the Book of the People does not necessarily have to be 10,000 people, and the joint letter expresses a kind of gratitude, which is an affirmation of the achievements of the officials.

Xu Zhen is generally called Fa Jinqi in private.

At this time, Cao Ang's voice fell, and of course Xu Zhen couldn't sit still, and suddenly sneered: "At the time of the winter disaster, I don't think it's too abnormal. ”

"It's this war horse."

Xu Zhen sighed and said, "As if I was afraid that I would not be good for a trip here, I had to give me some benefits, so I got hundreds of horses from the horse merchant in Xuzhou and deliberately waited for me to come to a good deal." ”

"But I found out that this group of horse merchants is from Xuzhou, and do you know the two most famous merchants in Xuzhou?"

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, and he replied: "Mi and Sun." ”

"Yes, Mi Zhu and Sun Qian, and who are these two following now?"

Cao Ang suddenly realized, and his eyes widened suddenly: "Liu Bei! ”

"I see, why did Liu Bei show favor because of this? Isn't he dead set on his brother yet?! ”

Cao Ang frowned, and was very unhappy in his heart, now that they have been together for more than a year, and his brother has saved his life many times and continued to teach, the two have long been teachers and friends.

How could he allow others to have any more thoughts, and his brother made it clear many times that he would not have anything to do with Liu Bei again, and the original friendship had long been erased when his father recommended him as the pastor of Yuzhou.

Now I'm still chasing what I'm doing.

"No," Xu Zhen had a feeling that this time it was definitely not for the sake of wooing, gift-giving, etc., "He has been a pastor in Yuzhou for half a year, and now he should have seen through many general trends, how can he let himself be like he was back then, and finally be unkind when he was looking for teachers and friends?" ”

"But it'......"

Xu Zhen pondered for a moment, and many fragments appeared in his memory, and then they were spliced together one by one to form a certain vein.

Then he said tentatively: "Will the horses sent by these Xuzhou merchants be purely for me to leave Xudu?" ”

"If that's the case, after I leave Xudu, the lord will lose the control of the imperial city by the side of the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid we have indeed been deceived."

"Xiahouen!"

"The last general!"

In front of the hall, Xia Houen immediately held his sword and clenched his fists, his eyes were full of solemnity, he was tall and long-armed, strong, tall, and there were muscles on his shoulders and back, but it was not an exaggeration.

With hair and helmet on his head, his face is serious, and the back of his right hand and the tiger's mouth are mostly calloused, and at first glance he is obsessed with sword practice, but his talent is not as good as Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others.

Therefore, the martial arts are good, but the force is completely inferior, and it can deal with ordinary generals, as long as it is not the battlefield fighting on horses and fighting with foot soldiers, in fact, it has to occupy a great advantage.

In this way, it will be valued by others, and it will be sent to the Jinwu camp by the Xiahou clan to be selected.

Moreover, Xiahoudun also personally wrote a letter to Xu Zhen to take care of it.

"Go, invite Dong to visit, there are some things that must be asked clearly today."

"Whoa!"

Xia Houen didn't say much, he took people out and left, and by the way, Wen Zhen, the general who was originally left behind in the compound, also followed with a sword.

Arrest people along the way.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang bowed down and persuaded: "Prince, don't be so angry, even if this is the case, Xu Du will not be in chaos." ”

"And if Dong Wan really has a problem, in fact, he is just bewitched by Dong Cheng and others, or after being a famous family, he doesn't dare not follow the words of the Son of Heaven."

These, as a scholar, Zhuge Liang couldn't be clearer, sometimes the reputation and dignity, as well as the illustrious reputation that the family has refused to let go of for many years, make them unable to take that step.

Now the prince is gradually getting angry because of this, this is not like his temperament, in the past, the prince was very calm and calm about everything, how could he be so angry today?

"Ryoko, you don't understand!" Xu Zhen's disgust was beyond words.

Zhuge Liang: "......"

Call me that again! Feels like a little guy!

Junhou, can you go up to the next level, you are all Qingtinghou.

"Why is that?"

"Why?" Xu Zhen's eyes widened, "Just a hundred war horses?!" Do I lack these hundreds of war horses?! Test me with this?! ”

"I'm here for the Winter Plague! If there is no such so-called horse businessman, I am afraid that outsiders will still say a word of compassion and love for the people! After getting these hundreds of horses, that group of people will not have the slightest good idea, especially Dong Cheng and them, how will they spread it?! ”

"I've only been resting for a few days, and I'm already saying that I'm a wine bag and rice bag!"

Take me as Chun Yu Qiong!

Now for the sake of a hundred horses, he directly gave up Xu Du's duties as Jinwu and ran to Chen Liulai, just for the sake of prostituting people's horses?!

"The matter of hundreds of horses has now been confirmed, if I want it, when I return to Xudu, where will this handsome face go?!"

Xu Zhen patted his face, slightly excited.

But the words were amazing, Zhuge Liang and Cao Ang still couldn't hold back, laughed, and could only cover their mouths immediately and try their best to contain it.

Not long after, Dong Wan was brought to Xu Zhen by Xia Houen all the way, and as soon as he entered the lobby, he was already sweating profusely, his steps were a little vain, and his eyes were quite trance-like.

Before welcoming the Son of Heaven, he had been frightened by Cao Chun many times, during which he sometimes invited him to drink and chat, sometimes made intimidating words, and sometimes led troops to his house to hang out.

So the kind of shadow that is deeply planted in my heart is not so easy to eliminate, although he has made great contributions at this moment, his brother is an official in Xu Du, and he is appreciated by Sikong, but he does not dare to hold it up in front of Xu Zhen.

After all, he knew that Xu Zhen's status in Cao Cao's heart far exceeded that of their Dong brothers.

What's more, the eldest prince is still here.

"Dong visit! This year's winter disaster has been discussed, so let's talk about the horses! ”

Xu Zhen said directly and loudly, making Dong Wan pause, and the back color was a little more relaxed.

Dong Wan is not tall, his figure is a little fat and round, and his eyes are like soybeans, if he squints, he can almost only see a trace, and his appearance is not outstanding, and he is even a little obscene.

But when he laughed, it was not disgusting, but he felt that this person might be good at dealing with ordinary people, at this time, Dong Wan walked in front of Xu Zhen with a smile on his face and bowed deeply.

said with a smile: "The prince and the marquis are very fast, worthy of being the people of the people's mouth, diligent and loving the people, that is, with officials such as the prince and marquis, Yanzhou can flourish day by day, and harvest every year, so that the people's homes can be full of rice and millet, so that the fathers and elders in the family can be healthy." ”

"Those horses are completely because of the name of the prince and the benevolent virtue of the prince over the years, and the businessmen who came from Xuzhou revered them in their hearts, and they were specially given away because they wanted to subsidize Chen Liujianjun."

"That's great!" Xu Zhen's face was full of smiles, and he stretched out his hand and slapped Dong Wan's shoulders heavily, and the huge force almost slapped him directly to his knees on the ground.

"Jun and Nai brothers, they are really outstanding talents, Jun can find a hundred good horses for me, which shows that this year, I have contacts in Yanzhou and even Xuzhou, and I have secretly made many heroes, so that when the time comes, I can serve the lord and the Han."

"Not bad!"

Dong Wan was stunned for a moment and then nodded suddenly, the frequency of nodding was extremely fast, and his heart was even more comfortable.

If this prince chats like this, it means that he really doesn't notice anything, and he seems to be rewarding me, and the eldest prince is on the side at this moment, and he must definitely behave well and show my ability.

In the future, perhaps, when the prince is promoted to the county guard elsewhere, or after becoming the state minister, I can take over as Chen Liutaishou, and it is like my brother who made 2,000 stones earlier to make a name for my Dong family.

"Yes, what the prince said is very true, and I think so below, because I don't dare to have the slightest enjoyment over the years, and every day and every night I pursue the style of the prince and the marquis who was strict with himself, take office and study diligently at night, just like ploughing, day and night, so that Chen can have such political achievements."

"This year, the people are stable, the rice and grain are full, and I am grateful for the kindness of Sikong and the merits of the princes, so that I will strive to reach the officials in various places, visit the local businessmen, and talk with them, which is nothing more than a piece of Dan heart, for the land I have left, and even Yanzhou is rich and strong."

"Okay," Xu Zhen clapped his hands, "It's really admirable, it seems that Captain Dong has been much more pragmatic since the rebellion of Zhang Miao." ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

Dong Wan nodded again and again, with a sneering expression.

"Since these businessmen are also familiar with Captain Dong, I will say some things directly."

"Prince, please speak!"

Dong Wan nodded immediately, his smile was put away, and he was quite frightened, after all, what Xu Zhen said was a little frustrating for him, too polite.

"I don't accept gifts and rewards in my life, I am honest and honest, and every time I have money, I share it with my brothers in the army, although this character is not my nature, but I have been pursuing it all my life, whether it is pretending or not, it is true, I don't want to easily break my own rules."

Xu Zhen stood with his hands in his hands, his expression was extremely solemn, and his righteousness was awe-inspiring.

This is very clear, whether you think it is real or pretended, you don't want to break it at will.

"The quality of a person lies in persistence, not in nature! Insist on self-cultivation, self-esteem. ”

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang and Cao Ang both nodded.

Reasonable.

It is not about human nature, but about human quality and cultivation, which should be practiced all your life.

It's just persistence.

"The words of the prince are like an empowerment, so that the next can be enlightened, and they will be pursued in the future! And these horses ......."

The expression on Dong Wan's face was first very adoring and admiring, and then slightly dignified, when he said this, I am afraid that he didn't want those horses.

This person is indeed a high-spirited and bright festival, maybe it is indeed a bit wrong to use horse merchants to attract this time, but fortunately, Xu Bowen is not very temperamental, and his cultivation is excellent.

You can mix it up in a few words, and it's right to praise it all the time anyway.

Next, I will say a few more words to make the scene not so dignified.

Xu Zhen immediately smiled frankly, "In this way, I definitely can't bear the horses sent by these horse merchants." ”

"Uh-huh!"

Dong Wan nodded slightly, his expression was still amazed, as if he was saying that he understood and respected Xu Zhen's decision. This prince is really still a kind person......

"I'll buy it."

"Uh-huh?!"

Dong Wan's brows suddenly furrowed.

"Three hundred yuan per horse, I want a thousand, let the officers and soldiers of the army buy it at their own expense, so that the transaction is completed, so that Captain Dong can get his favor, so it is not in vain for me to make this trip."

"Huh?!"

Dong Wan's eyes widened, "Junhou, how can there be so many horses!" ”

"Young horses are okay, in short, since you have the intention to fund the soldiers and horses to help the Han, how can you not think of a way, or Captain Dong can go to discuss with the Mi family and the Sun family, how about it?"

"If it doesn't work, it should be possible to mobilize the Dong clan's connections among the scholars, I rarely ask for help, and I ask Captain Dong not to refuse, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!"

"Please!!"

Dong Wan's back stiffened, and his legs were trembling at this time.

Thousand!?

And let the soldiers buy it at their own expense, and the most important thing is what to buy for three hundred dollars!

This is not the big currency of the year, after Dong Zhuo melted the five baht coins, he changed them to small coins to increase the number of five baht coins, and later even led to the fact that he could not exchange a bucket of rice for a few loads of money.

It's not worth anything at all, it's only bartered.

It's good to use rice grain!

"Please, Captain Dong, if it weren't for the fact that I knew that you were so powerful today, and that you were a member of the Tongshi clan, I wouldn't know how to solve the problem of the shortage of war horses," Cao Ang calmly arched his hand.

It is equivalent to directly giving Dong Wan a slap, so that his mouth can no longer be opened.

The eldest prince...... Say the same.

At this moment, when he looked at these people in the hall again, he felt that his face was hot and painful, and the eyes of Xu Zhen, Cao Ang, and Zhuge Liang were quite unkind, as if they had penetrated everything.

At this time, I remembered that Xu Zhen had just mentioned the Mi family, the Sun family.

The eldest prince mentioned the family of the scholars.

Where did Dong Wan dare to be lucky, it turned out that they already knew.

This, what else can be done about this?

"Prince, prince spare!"

Dong Wan immediately prostrated on the ground, not daring to quibble at all, if Xu Zhen asked as soon as he came in, he could still quibble, after all, on the way here, he had already prepared a good draft in his heart.

As a result, Xu Zhen didn't ask that at all.

dispelled his vigilance, and now he is knocking on the side again, slowly leading.

Finally get these 1,000 horses.

Now that war horses are already in short supply and expensive, those who can afford to help themselves with cavalry are afraid that they are real businessmen and wealthy families, and if he had that ability, he would have been 2,000 stones, how could he still be a small lieutenant.

Now you must admit your mistakes, ask for forgiveness first, and then say, with my brother's merits in Xudu, maybe you can consider it!

"Hehe, then let me ask you, who asked you to send the Winter Disaster Recital and let me go to Chen Liuli to manage this government, and how many people participated in it during the period."

"Who gave this horse? Is it Liu Xuande? Xu Zhen asked coldly.

This made Dong Wan shiver immediately.

"Let's say, the eldest prince has always been benevolent, and he won't be punished heavily."

Xu Zhen persuaded softly again, and seemed to pat Dong Wan's shoulder comfortingly.

Zhuge Liang was shocked when he saw it later.

Junhou didn't even want to coerce himself, the good guys and bad guys all did it, and he was even helping Dong Wan speak.
