At this moment, although Cao Cao's side is full of old acquaintances, confidants and courtiers.

But all the estimates are the first time I have seen this situation, and I have resigned from the office.

For thousands of years, there have been very few.

Maybe in the stories of those Spring and Autumn sages, there will be some inclusion, but if you meet such a person in reality, you will either be heartbroken, that is, you are really responsible for being an official and other things, and there are not too many requirements.

Of course, if according to Xu Zhen, he has already governed Jizhou to be extremely rich, and now he wants to govern relatively chaotic and barren places such as Bingzhou and Youzhou, it shows that he is too concerned about the world.

It seems to exchange Youzhou for Jizhou.

In fact, the annual harvest is at least five times worse.

It can be seen how terrible Xu Zhen's harvest in Jizhou is, in this case, he is a little greedy for ink, which is enough for future generations to enjoy glory and wealth.

Not to mention, how much money his Tiangong Academy earns every year.

The civil and military forces present all believed that as long as Xu Zhen went to Youzhou, he would definitely be able to bring up the harvest in Youzhou, and he had such a ability.

And according to his temperament of not giving up day and night, he will only get more and more.

But Cao Cao just couldn't understand why he changed it like this.

Your Tongquetai is in Jizhou, don't you want it?

Are you going to move to Youzhou together?

Or will there be another huge pavilion on the site of Yijing?

Of course, Cao Ren couldn't figure it out, he blinked, looked at Xu Zhen in a daze, and a knot formed in his heart, what kind of person is this?!

He asked for merit, I thought it was a covetous reward or a knighthood reward, although it has been added to 10,000 households, but it can continue to be added.

What you want is your own personal harvest, or you want a hereditary replacement for your son, so that your Xu family can survive forever, even if Xu Zhen dies in the future, there will still be a title to take care of the family.

Unexpectedly, it was for merit to resign from the official position of Jizhou Mu.

Is it really that generous?!

Then the soldiers and horses recruited by Jizhou, can they all follow you to Youzhou? Of course not, it means that he has to disarm tens of thousands and entrust it to General Cao.

It's too ruthless.

is so ruthless to himself, then this Xu Bowen really can't be provoked, he is either a saint or a madman.

There are not so many saints in this world.

"Bowen, think twice."

Cao Ren had nothing to say, so he could only persuade him so simply.

"Think twice, ride the bike!"

"I'm afraid Jizhou can't do without a car."

"Bowen, you have to figure it out."

Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xu Huang and others all felt reluctant, but they couldn't imagine what Xu Zhen really wanted in his heart, and of course the interests were difficult to give up.

But if it is open and secret, it is not impossible.

What Xu Zhen wants is peace.

"Lord, I have to leave now, the southern expedition has been decided, Jingzhou will fall, as long as we slowly march into Jiangdong, train sailors, and be careful about fire attacks, Jiangdong can be determined sooner or later, not to mention, there is an important chess piece I left for the lord, it must be able to be used."

"Within a few years, Jiangdong will be able to conquer, and at this opportunity, I will also stabilize Xiliang and other places, and pave the way for the Lord to capture Sichuan and Shu in the future."

"You need to think far, not just the recent situation."

"Berwen!"

Cao Cao grabbed Xu Zhen's shoulder, and the iron-like muscles in his robe were painful, "Is there really no one forcing you?" ”

"Not really."

Xu Zhen shook his head bitterly, "You know me, I like to go to a busy place for official business, work day and night, the more affairs, the more my heart is swinging, I can't wait for the daily time to be tightly arranged by more than a dozen things, my lord, you will fulfill me." ”

Cao Cao: "......"

He now decided in his mind that something was going on.

The brain doesn't feel very bright.

It's time to rest in your thirties.

Xu Zhen's words really silenced all the people around him.

Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and the others immediately took half a step back, and their faces were secretly silently full of disgust.

I'm still persuading you, what kind of person is this!

What am I telling him to do?!

Would it be nice to kill him?!

This makes you ......

Also, the more things I do, the more my heart flutters...... I really want to find a hammer to knock you to death.

Here Cao Ren sighed deeply, feeling very uncomfortable.

Alas.

I really shouldn't be here, go to the camp.

"You ......" Cao Cao wanted to open his mouth several times, but he didn't expect to say anything, so he could only stretch out his hand and pat Xu Zhen's shoulder, and then gave a thumbs up, "You are high." ”

"Go, go, I'll write to the Son of Heaven today, let him change it for you, you change! If you have the ability, you go to Youzhou and beat Fuyu and Goguryeo, and the ancestors of the Han Dynasty will remember you! ”

Anyway, I don't care, pick up a Jizhou for nothing, don't want it for nothing, if you talk to the rest of the clan generals of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan at this time, your face will crack with a smile.

"Then it's difficult for a strong man, I will only farm and make ......money," Xu Zhen muttered.

"What?!"

"I said I tried my best to ......"

Cao Cao glanced at him fiercely, strode in front, and after walking for a while, Cao Ren came up again, and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, are there still celebrations tonight?" ”

"Fart!! All of them do their jobs, they just took Nanyang, are they not busy with affairs?! Your hearts can't be wandered!? ”

"Eh......"

Cao Ren was resentful, and glanced back at Xu Zhen with resentment, almost didn't give himself a slap, and asked someone else to ask, why did he ask these things.

……

Xu Zhen returned to his camp and breathed a sigh of relief.

Jia Xu stepped forward and asked, "Che Qi, what's wrong?" ”

"I've been transferred, so let's go back."

"That's great, although the two places are not as rich as Jizhou, they are enough to raise soldiers, and the town is not easy to be attacked, so the riders don't have to be reluctant."

"I can't give up, I can't ask for it," Xu Zhen stared at Jia Xu's eyes seriously, and explained: "Mr. Wenhe may not understand, the more wasted the land to be revived, the more I can harvest, if it is Jizhou, I can harvest every year step by step without me being in charge, and how much will I lose every year." ”

"If you round it off, you lose about a billion dollars a year."

A billion, that's a hundred thousand......

How does this get in?

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, what does this harvest refer to? Fame? Wealth? Or is it a connection or affection?

The old man asked himself that he already knew a lot about cycling, but he might not know what this harvest was all his life.

Is the harvest he said a substantial harvest of money or the satisfaction of his own heart......

If it is said that it is the satisfaction of working for the benefit of the people, the car ride is not like such a great person, it does not look like it.

A person who does not seem to have a great heart of dedication, has been pursuing such a thing, but on the surface he is still decisive and enjoys a good reputation, then he is not great.

"After the transfer, because Youzhou wants to change guards with Ziyu's original soldiers and horses, I have to go back and ask the officers and soldiers in the army, but if you don't want to stay away from Jizhou, sign up in advance and be assigned to Cao Ang's army."

Jia Xu came back to his senses, smiled and bowed his hand, bowed slightly, and said, "I'm afraid there won't be more than a thousand people leaving." ”

"How is it possible, 300,000 soldiers and horses, and 100,000 transferred to the state, how can the rest of the people have to guard their homeland, and some people still have old mothers at home."

According to common sense, tens of thousands of people should resign from military affairs, either change military camps or be disarmed and returned to the fields.

Now in Jizhou, as a farmer, you can also have surplus food and clothing, what is the good thing about being a soldier, you have to go to the battlefield to fight at any time.

"To bet or not?" Jia Xu said with a smile, in the past, Xu Zhen said this sentence to him, but Jia Xu never answered.

This time, the old boy actually took the initiative to say this by himself, and of course Xu Zhen didn't take it, "I don't bet, I trust your judgment." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the entire military tent was filled with laughter.

……

Seven days later, the Jizhou garrison sent a letter.

The corners of Xu Zhen's mouth twitched after reading the reply, and he glanced at Jia Xu fiercely, his face full of disgust.

"Eight thousand four hundred and fifty-seven people left the army......"

"What to play ......"

"Oh, that's all there is to bet on......"

"The ...... that made my blood boil"

Military advisors from all over the country glanced at Jia Xu with gossips.

Xu Zhenren was numb, and swore that what kind of bet would I make there, no more than a thousand people were embarrassed to say it at such an old age.

I'll just say where did you get your confidence, I already knew that I was worth gambling with you, and I lost a billion by rounding.

"Tsk," Jia Xu bowed his head in shame under countless gazes, and he would not pretend to be forced next time.

It's too difficult to make judgments, I really don't know how they can often make judgments, especially Guo Fengxiao and them.

Jia Xu didn't admire Guo Jiaxia's judgments that always had deeds of conclusive guesses, but admired him for always being wrong, and he could continue to make judgments leisurely and calmly, without the slightest sense of shame.

How can ordinary people have such pride, of course, to put it mildly, how can they be so thick-skinned.

"Eight thousand, in fact, is not much, this must still be the merits of many years of riding the car, which is admirable, if it is changed to another state pastor, I am afraid that there will be tens of thousands of people who have left just by transferring."

After all, it is far away from his homeland, of course, only Xu Zhen will be so generous, and it is impossible for other generals to let the soldiers in the army leave, generally take the garrison first, wait for a few years to recruit and change, and then dismiss the veterans and veterans back to their hometowns.

Xu Zhen is indeed very benevolent to the officers and men in the army, so most of the more than 8,000 people are already with old diseases, or they are too old to fight again.

These people should have returned home a long time ago, and after leaving, they could be regarded as unloading a lot of burdens, otherwise they would have sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.

Xu Zhen glanced at Jia Xu again and said, "For the sergeants who have left the army and dismissed, according to their merits and positions in the army, they will be given enough settling-in allowances, and the fields will be distributed according to the population of the family." ”

"Eh, let's get them ready, send money and food, and we will definitely do a good job of dismissal."

Jia Xu was sweating profusely, his old face was red, and he laughed a few times and greeted the left and right Wenwu, except for Zhuge Liang, who had never heard of it all the time, everyone else was more face-saving.

As for the Liangzi...... It's just that I don't know him in general.

Jia Xu is not afraid of his master, his master is very good now and respects the elderly.

The key is that he is afraid of Uncle Dian, a few years have passed, Kong Ming and his Uncle Dian have basically not changed at all, and he will mention the things in Wancheng at that time.

That night, Xu Zhen's troops and horses were deployed, and Cao Cao was receiving letters from Cai Mao's vanguard army to manage and surrender to Cheng.

The two met in a hurry, and they were immediately detained, and after Cao Cao meditated, he issued an order to Xu Zhen, asking him to enter the main camp as a military advisor, and Jia Xu, Xu Chu, and Zhang Liao would return to Jizhou to preside over the change of guard.

Leaving Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei and other civil and military forces by his side to assist Xu Zhen, they will leave when the southern war is stable.

Similarly, Gao Shun's sword and shield riders also remained in the south.

In this way, Xu Zhen is equivalent to leading 10,000 soldiers and horses on the main battlefield, which can be hoarded near Xu Zhen's fiefdom Shucheng, and can go south from Hefei's land route at any time to attack Jiangdong.

So, Xu Zhen and the rest of the soldiers and horses opened, and he entrusted Jia Xu with many major and minor affairs, after changing the defense of Youzhou, he first focused on the military and political affairs of the state, and took advantage of the edict of the Son of Heaven to go to Jizhou one step earlier, and ordered to take away most of the stored grain, and transport it to Bingzhou in batches for hoarding.

In recent years, Jizhou has bought and sold grain, walked north and south, has been very rich, and there are millions of stone grain hoarding warehouses in the four large granaries built in various places.

Jia Xudeng was also stunned when he heard it, and asked helplessly: "Will you be scolded if you do this...... This thing is not exciting, riding a car, during the transfer of officials, smuggling millions of stones, grain and grass, how much merit does it take to make up for it? ”

"There are many merits in the Southern Expedition, don't worry about it, and in the end, the merits and demerits will be compensated."

Jia Xu: "......"

I really can't say anything else except a word of envy.

If you're going to do this in the future, it's going to get even more outrageous.

There are many merits in the south, and meritorious service is used to do these things, and it is worthy of you, the car ride.

……

In the evening, Jia Xu left.

Xu Zhen went to Xiangyang, Jingzhou with the army, and Cao Cao specially called him to the carriage he was riding in and deliberately asked for a plan.

"Cai Mao surrendered this time, there will be no more fraud, right?"

Cao Cao asked with a solemn face.

Xu Zhen smiled and nodded immediately, "Really, Cai Mao himself seeks peace, just like the scholars in Jingzhou, he just wants to live in peace to continue the incense, so that the glory of the family can be inherited, and he wants a title." ”

"Well, but hasn't Jingzhou always been in the hands of the Liu family?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously.

Xu Zhen's face was slightly confused, and he said curiously: "Why do you say this?" ”

"Zixiao, when he promised Cai Mao to surrender, he promised to make them hereditary."

"This alone, Liu will not easily hand over the military power in his hands, Jingzhou will grow in the future, and he can be reversed at any time, Liu Cong is still young now, that's it, if he grows up to be a virtuous lord who is good at civil and martial arts, in the future, people will change, and the masters will change, who can know what the future will be? Isn't Jingzhou always a hidden danger......"

Cao Cao's words are enough to show that he is falling into deep worry because of this.

"It's not a trouble, Brother Zixiao's promise, what's the matter with the lord? Wait for the soldiers and horses to enter Xiangyang City, and then change them to Qingzhou. ”

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up.

It also makes sense.

Zixiao agreed, but I didn't agree.

Even if I agreed, the Son of Heaven could not agree, and on the grounds of missing his relatives, he would send Liu Cong and others to Xudu first, and then let him go to Qingzhou.

The rest of the scholars can not move, mainly because the Liu family cannot be in Jingzhou, and those who will be stationed here in the future must be the generals of the Cao family.

to come to power.

For those with foreign surnames who are in power, it is enough to have Xu Bowen alone, and it is absolutely difficult to suppress more.

The reason why Xu Zhen's position is stable is because he is really too sensible and knows how to give up Jizhou in a timely manner.

Don't look at Cao Cao who was angry when he heard it that day, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt very relieved.

"Well said, well said! He promised! What does it have to do with me, hahaha!! ”

"When the soldiers and horses occupy the main roads in various places, they will be appointed directly, Cai Mao and I are not related, so why bother with his thoughts."

"Bowen, you're still bad."

After Xu Zhen smiled lightly, he shook his head with a slightly bitter face, "It's also helpless, General Cai Mao will understand." ”

"Or, from now on, train another general of the Navy, and it doesn't matter if General Cai Mao understands it or not."

Xu Zhen said meaningfully.
