Mid-March.

It is the earth that is warming up, and spring ploughing is busy.

The people are concerned about whether the wind and rain will be smooth this year and whether they will be able to get a good harvest.

The outskirts of Xiangyang.

"I heard that there is a zigzag plough over there in Weiyang, and the plough is fast."

"Huh? Who did it? ”

"I heard what it is...... Chinese layman. ”

"Chinese layman? What a big breath! Does that plow really work? ”

"Very easy to use! I heard that even if you don't plough cattle, you can use people to pull them quickly! That's a lot of effort! ”

"Oh?"

"Anyway...... It's that plow, it's not straight. ”

An old man rolled his eyes, and then looked at his field, the seeds had just been sown a few days ago, and there were already small seedlings popping up these days, so he had to watch some to prevent birds from visiting.

"I also heard that those scholars in the city yesterday were going to embarrass that thirteen-year-old little gentleman!"

"What did the little gentleman do?"

"Oh, Mr. Xiao has been recruited by the state pastor to be an official!"

"Oh, that's no wonder."

"I don't know what kind of powerful method this little gentleman is! Let our generals invite him to be an official. ”

"You, let's hurry up and watch the land, there are sparrows over there!"

"Hey, where? Ouch! Don't eat my rice, that bird thief! Let's go! ”

……

Huang Yueying sat on the saddle and looked into the distance.

Patches of farmland have grown green shoots, and there are occasional old farmers chasing after them to disperse birds and birds and protect seedlings.

Looking at the boundless land outside Xiangyang City, watching these people still farming with rice, watching them drive away the birds, and seeing their eyes full of hope for this year, she felt uncomfortable.

In this era, the farmers could not eat enough, and the mulberry pickers could not afford to wear Luo Qi.

But occasionally, I feel that this era is stronger than later generations in some aspects. For example, it doesn't say that they are not allowed to build their own houses, and they think of the terrible car loans and mortgages of later generations...... Almost bent the backs of two people...... Sigh slightly.

All in all, paradoxical.

Today she went out of the city to see the progress of the spring plowing of the nearby people, if it is almost over, the construction of the school palace can begin. At present, it seems that it is indeed almost there, and it is already ready to recruit people.

"Why did Achu sigh?" Gan Ning rode on his horse and asked his sister-in-law.

"Brother thinks, these cultivators, how many people have Hengtian? Tenant farmer geometry? ”

Gan Ning thought for a while, and then shook his head, "There are many big families in Xiangyang City, and those who can be called big families are all thousands or even tens of thousands of acres of land. Therefore, most of these fields belong to them, and most of these old peasants outside the city are tenant farmers. ”

"Exactly. The peasants don't have enough to eat, and the mulberry pickers can't afford to wear kira, and the elder brother thinks ...... Is this correct? ”

Gan Ning shook his head, "How difficult." ”

"Yes, it's just a matter of searching up and down." Huang Yueying exhaled, "Let's go, go back." ”

"Okay."

……

Back in Liu Biao's mansion, Huang Yueying looked at these servants who brought tea and water, and there was no different color.

She knew she couldn't change a lot of things.

"Lang Jun."

"Lang Jun is back?" The servants on the road greeted each other.

"By the way, Uncle Zhang," Huang Yueying called the steward surnamed Zhang, "I don't have to prepare dinner today, I want to go out." ”

When she first arrived in Xiangyang, she brought a letter from Pang Shanmin and sent someone to Wang Can, mainly to inquire about Zhang Zhongjing, and the agreement was this afternoon.

"No." Steward Zhang should be down.

Back in the study, Huang Yueying looked at Gan Ning, "Brother, now that the spring ploughing is coming to an end, I have already told my uncle about the construction of workshops in various places, and I ask you to send someone back to Chuyang, and send four teams to escort Uncle Song and them to various places to find a suitable workshop address." ”

"Understood."

"Uncle Song, their safety must be guaranteed."

"In Jingzhou, Ah Chu is more assured, Gan Rui, Gan Yong, Wang Wu and Huang Wu can each bring twenty people to escort." Gan Ning thought for a moment, "You don't have to wear iron armor, but leather armor can be worn." ”

Huang Yueying nodded, "Bring more bows and arrows, anyway, we don't lack iron." ”

"Okay."

"You have to bring enough food, medicinal herbs, and money. I will prepare a few letters to the agents of those counties, and ask them to send someone to follow them, so that Uncle Song and them can first survey the address, and then reply to me, and I will go to my uncle to get some papers. Now that the spring ploughing is almost over, it will be much easier to recruit people. ”

"Okay." Gan Ning should go down.

Huang Yueying was not verbose, so she began to write letters.

First wrote to Song Bo, telling them the process of the whole thing, and let them follow the process at that time, and pay attention to the confidentiality of the papermaking in the workshop.

Then he wrote a letter to the Chu paper agent families in various counties, of course, in the name of Chu Anjun, which was a normal business negotiation after all.

Gan Ning was not ambiguous, and after taking the letter, he directly asked Gan Yong's team to go back to Chuyang.

Although in Xiangyang City, he didn't care about Huang Yueying's safety at all, but ...... After all, he has to protect it.

"By the way, Chu Paper Shop...... The name has been changed today, and Achu hasn't seen it yet. Gan Ning remembered something, and said.

Huang Yueying also slapped her head, "I forgot, I patronized and matched that group of people yesterday...... Even today, there are still many people who have handed over their names. ”

During this period, the door-to-door visit was to hand over the name post, and the two parties agreed on a time for each other.

But Huang Yueying felt that she didn't have time at all.

Xiangyang School Palace wants to be built, and she has to find a way to go to the major families to dig out some of the books in the School Palace, and it is unrealistic to take them from these houses in Xiangyang.

It's a lot of confusion.

After estimating the time, he sighed, "I can't go today, I have to go to Wang Zhongxuan first." ”

"That's right." Gan Ning nodded, after all, it had already been agreed.

"Let's go." Huang Yueying walked out of the study in a hurry, and as for Huang Jun, he sent him to study and read together.

……

In a two-entry courtyard, a young man frowned, looking at the incense burner on the table, and his heart was very uneasy.

What the little gentleman said yesterday made him extremely irritable.

"Lang Jun, Mr. Xiao came to visit." The steward said.

"Invite him in, serve tea, and prepare dinner." Wang Can opened his mouth to command.

"No."

Huang Yueying took Gan Ning and entered the courtyard under the guidance of the steward. The flowers and plants in the courtyard are all there, and because it is spring, it looks vibrant.

Outside the main hall, she saw Wang Can, with a smile on her face, but a little reluctant.

"In Xia Huang Chu, I have seen Brother Zhong Xuan." When Huang Yueying saw this, she saluted first.

One is that she is young, and the other is that she doesn't stretch out her hand to hit the smiling person.

"Achumo is polite, please come in." Wang Can said, and then looked at Gan Ning, "This strong man ......"

"Gan Ning, the word Xingba, I've seen Mr." Gan Ning also saw the ceremony.

"I don't want to be Mr., General Gan is also invited."

"Thank you."

So, a few people entered the hall, and tea was already served.

Wang Can sat down in the main seat, looked at the "Huang Chu" at the bottom, his expression was a little complicated, and then said, "I finally saw Mr. Xiao in person." ”

"Brother don't be like this, seeing brother should be a blessing for Achu." Huang Yueying hurriedly said.

Who is Wang Can, one of the seven sons of Jian'an, his poems and articles are very solid, and he is tied with Cao Pi as King Cao.

After the war in Chang'an, he went south to vote for Liu Biao, because Liu Biao was a relative of the Han family, and because Liu Biao was a disciple of his father Wang Qian, the two actually had a friendship with each other.

It's just that he's not reused.

It is now the sixth year that he has voted for Liu Biao...... Still not reused.

When Wang Can heard this, the brows on his face also stretched a little, "I heard that Achu was very sharp yesterday, and he fought a hundred battles alone. ”

"It's just a few people, and most people see that I'm young and don't bother me." Huang Yueying replied.

"Achu is too modest, and yesterday's Spring and Autumn Period was treated very well."

"Brother is polite."

"Now that I see Achu, I think of when my brother was still in Chang'an......" Wang Can couldn't help but sigh when he saw that young face.

Of course, Huang Yueying understands that when Wang Can was in Chang'an, he was also a young man, and Cai Yong (Yong, a voice) was also very special to him, saying that he would give him all the books in the family, and after Cai Yong died, the Cai family really gave him all the books.

Today, Wang Can's collection of books ...... At least 10,000 volumes.

"My brother is famous as a young man, and he has received a book from Cai Gong, and he has a Han family in his heart, so he will definitely have an opportunity to show his ambitions." Huang Yueying reassured.

"Speaking of ambition...... Yesterday, the state pastor asked him to write an article for his brother. Wang Can shook his head, "But it hasn't happened yet, what should I do?" ”

"But that's going to happen, isn't it?"

Wang Canmo, yes, Cao Yuan must have a battle, and the winner will be the king.

"Does my brother want this to happen?"

"Naturally, I don't want to."

"Why?"

"A few years ago, my brother went out from Chang'an, and on the way, I saw that the people were displaced and had no place to return...... Why? ”

Huang Yueying sighed, "There is no peace in the country, and the war is raging. ”

"Yes, my brother really doesn't want this world to ...... The war continues. Wang Can sighed.

"Hey......" Huang Yueying had to sigh.

Wang Can is not reused by Liu Biao, but after Liu Cong surrenders to Cao, he is deeply trusted by the latter. This also has a lot to do with the fact that he is not talented now.

"Alright." Wang Can saw Huang Yueying sigh and smiled, "Ah Chu won't sigh and get back to business." ”

"Okay."

"Zhang Ji is still in Nanyang, if Achu wants to visit, he can just write a book for his brother."

"Thank you, brother."

Huang Yueying thanked her, this is the purpose of her coming today.

Of course, I also want to dig a wall foot. A talent like Wang Can can't be left to Cao Cao in the future!

Now that her uncle doesn't reuse this person, then she has to maintain a good relationship with Wang Can first.

"You're welcome." Wang Can smiled, "Brother also has doubts, and I want to ask Achu to solve his doubts." ”

"Brother, excuse me."

"Ah Chu said yesterday that Cao Sikong ordered the Chu paper dedicated to the Son of Heaven?"

"Yes."

"Where did the message come from?"

"Zhang Qian, who was guarding under the state pastor's tent, was the Xu capital he escorted Chu Zhi to."

"I see."

"Originally, the state pastor offered 100 pieces of medium Chu paper and 10 pieces of high-grade Chu paper."

"Ten pieces of fine paper?"

"Yes."

Wang Can smiled bitterly, "Why is Cao Mengde like this!" ”

Originally, he was also waiting for the result of the north, and he was more optimistic about Cao Cao than Yuan Shao. Just waiting for Cao Cao Kuang to help the world and return to the Son of Heaven.

As soon as this incident came out, the hope in his heart was also dashed.

"Because Cao Mengde has no son of heaven in his heart, he will be like this."

"But Achu said that if Cao Yuan fights, it must be Cao Sheng?"

"Yes."

"Then this Han family in the world, can it still be saved?"
