"Listening to what Feng Xiao said, like a spring breeze, do you really only need a master book?"

"Yes," Guo Jia bowed, "I think that Cao Gong's grace and power are like Yuze, Gong is well versed in the art of war, perennial attack, he is a famous general, but he is benevolent and righteous, and the difficulties and dangers have also come to this day, which is commendable, this move should be the wisest choice." ”

"For this reason, I am not talented, and I am willing to drive for the Ming Gong, return the world to peace and stability, and establish a great cause."

This person should be the master I have been seeking for a long time!

"Feng Xiao, the one who strongly persuades me to be benevolent and righteous is another chief bookkeeper Zhang Han."

"This, Jia already knows," Guo Jia smiled lightly, and he was going to make friends with him from then on.

"Okay, in the future, with the assistance of the three of you, and Wen Ruo to stabilize the internal governance, it is the blessing of Yan and Xu."

"My lord."

Guo Jia's expression was as usual, he couldn't see the joy, his eyes were sharp, and he bowed solemnly.

……

When Guo Jia arrived, Cao Cao set up a banquet for a few days, and invited Xu Chu together.

Every day is full of singing until dawn. Guo Jia and Xu Chu are both good drinkers, drunk but not drunk, and they are more talented after drinking.

made Cao Cao very agreeable, so the scope of the banquet gradually expanded, and Zhang Han and Xi Zhicai were called in.

also invited Xun Yu several times, but each time Xun Yu left halfway, either to continue to handle official business, or to go home to study.

During the period, not a drop of alcohol sticks.

In this way, the chill deepened, and the farmland gradually completed irrigation and ash burning, so that the fields were sparsely populated, and the merchants who walked between the counties gradually stopped.

When winter approaches, except for the people who have to go out to make a living, the average person rarely goes out.

Before the end of the year, Chen Deng, who was in charge of the internal affairs of Tuntian, Xuzhou, rushed to Juancheng from Xiapi to deliver this year's concerts from various places.

At the same time, it is also to get food and store it for the winter, so as to prevent the emergence of hunger and plague in the severe cold.

This trip was told by flying early that it was Zhang Han who picked him up outside the city.

After receiving it, I took it straight to my home.

At the door, the two took off their robes to protect them from the rain and entered the door together.

Chen Deng, whose face was so white that he looked like a little white face, looked melancholy, and his soul was like not giving up, and he had been spitting in the carriage just now.

Zhang Han felt deeply.

At this time, he finally couldn't help but speak, "In the first battle of Xuzhou, the water in which I majored collapsed, and the floods in the rainy season were more serious. ”

Zhang Han patted the raindrops on his body, and took the lead to go around the main hall along the corridor, and said quickly: "I know this." ”

Later, Xuzhou would even become a Yellow Flood area due to several diversions of the Yellow River's tributaries, and the victims were extremely heavy every dynasty.

"You want to ask the lord for people and money, and go to build the mountain again, right?"

The so-called pi, that is, slopes, ponds, rivers, streams and other banks, can be built along the way to control the flow of water.

If it is repaired horizontally, it can be used to store water and release water, and the main purpose of cultivating the mountain is to better divert water for irrigation and prevent excessive water flow and damage to farmland.

Chen Deng came here for next year's spring ploughing plan.

Thinking of this, Zhang Han was inevitably a little ashamed.

I'm still waiting to get married, and every day in and out of the mansion are all kinds of valuable money, and they are all people from Juancheng.

From the army to the shogunate, there is an endless stream.

On the other hand, Chen Deng, who works hard and travels for the livelihood of the people, governs Xuzhou, so that the people can be rich and strong in the future.

I was actually going to hint at him for a gift.

I'm not a human being!

We are a group, and we all hinted that I came to inform Chen Deng about this, and to see how he reacted, we all blamed Sun Qian for bringing me badly.

Zhang Han felt guilty in his heart, stopped and said softly: "This year, the grain will be distributed to the army to fight and provide disaster relief to the people, and there is not much food in stock. ”

"Yes, that's why I came to ask Bo Chang," Chen Deng chased after him as he walked, and his hands never let go.

You are Duke Cao's favorite close minister, his temperament must be well understood, if there is really a way, you should not hesitate to give advice.

If anyone can say that Cao Gong can move, it is only you, Chen Deng decided in his heart that he had been embarrassed to say it in the car just now, and now he remembered that he had also helped Zhang Han.

The matter of borrowing coupons, but the Chen family mobilized his contacts and was busy running back and forth, so he was able to get up, which is not also a kindness.

"I'm getting married recently." Zhang Han sighed and lowered his gaze.

"Maybe it's not good to persuade this matter again, but we have to wait until after spring."

"You're getting married?! Whose girl is it? Chen Deng was suddenly surprised, but unfortunately he didn't know it early, otherwise he was going to come from Xuzhou to pay a heavy salute, which was just right to get closer.

"The daughter of the lord," Zhang Han smiled helplessly, "That's why I said it was inconvenient." ”

Chen Deng suddenly said, "Then it's really unfortunate that I came, you are really not good to speak." ”

"Majoring in the mountains, you need the power of the lord of a land, alas, I'm a pawn farmer, and I can't manage this." Chen Deng was a little resentful, when he took Lu Bu, he and his father had great achievements, but at that time they didn't dare to get too close to Cao Cao.

As the head of the local clan, if they lick too fiercely, they will be considered as betraying the class, which is unaffordable, and it is easy for the clans to remember this, and then the children will gradually be excluded.

So I didn't dare to ask for too big an official position, just kept some distance as usual.

"Bo Chang, can you help me figure out a way?" Chen Deng asked tentatively.

He had thought about it before he came, and he had an inexplicable feeling that Zhang Han always had a way.

is such an inexplicable psychology, Chen Deng himself can't tell when it started.

"Okay," Zhang Han agreed without hesitation, "Tomorrow in my mansion, I will have a banquet for a guest, and then tonight Sun Qian and Mi Zhu will come back, we will help you think of a way to do this together." ”

"You don't want to live in the inn, just stay in my house."

"Tomorrow, I'll go and visit the lord again."

……

At night.

After Chen Deng sincerely finished talking about the urgent matter to be solved, he let the rich Sun Qian lean on the pillar behind him, and thought with a chuckle while twisting his beard.

Soon after, he said "hey", "It is true that a lot of mountains have been destroyed, but if it is to be relieved, the newly cultivated land can be leaned on." ”

There was a stove and a fire pit burning in the house, and wine was boiling on the stove, and when it was not yet late at night, several people were around the fireplace, and they went to sleep when the night was very deep.

Zhang Han likes this very much, and even takes everyone to like it, because it is close, you can express your own opinions, and when there is really no gossip to talk about, you will review what you have done recently, and then you can think of a lot of layouts.

This kind of thing is the same as having a small meeting.

If you don't say that a small meeting is the most interesting, anyone can speak, and it is from the bottom of your heart, and you don't have to go through the form, which is very efficient.

If there is really anything, there is basically a solution for a night around the fireplace, if not, then go around for another night.

Of course, if this kind of structure is placed on the rural women's homes, it is called chewing the root of the tongue.

In contemporary times, it can be regarded as a collection of "eating melons".

"If you want to focus on cultivating mountains and rivers, it won't be completed next year, how many rivers are there in Xuzhou? How many trails? It will take at least a few years to get results. ”

"Yuanlong, you are a person with great ambitions, we already know it, and even you know the way of military strategy and can lead troops to fight."

"This kind of talent can already be in charge of itself, I am here to imagine for you, it is difficult to get money and food, and privileges, and now this is no rice cooking, this matter is not as simple as letting us hold a banquet."

"The cost is incalculable, the main thing is how to mobilize manpower, if you are a saint, you can let the people do it spontaneously, that is your ability, but you are not, then we take a step back and say, so that you can mobilize the wealth of a county, complement each other, and fill some gaps in the coming year, what do you think?"

"Huh?" Chen Deng frowned, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

It only takes a bumper harvest in one year for a county to become rich, and now it is still a time when there is a shortage of grain, and grain is worth more than gold cakes.

"How can I mobilize the money and food of a county?" Chen Deng couldn't help but sigh.

If it was okay back then, Tao Qian would have relied on him, but now that Cao Gong is in power, the troops deployed in the three places in Xuzhou are his henchmen, so he naturally has a firm control over Pengcheng, Xiapi, and Tancheng.

And what needs to build the mountain is the junction of these three places, this large area, not to mention thousands of miles, that is the most important area.

"Well, that......'s right," Sun Qian said this, falling into silence.

He can only say that, as for the resolution, that is Zhang Han's problem.

After being cold for a moment, Zhang Han suddenly spoke: "The guest I want to invite to the banquet tomorrow is Baoxin, the assassin of Xuzhou. ”

"Bao Gong is here?" Chen Deng suddenly raised his head, with a slight hope in his eyes.

"Well, I'll just say it directly," Zhang Han looked at Chen Deng and said solemnly: "You want to display your ambitions, but now the opportunity is not good, and the families are also restrained by the great drought, so you need to have some power before you can implement it." ”

Zhang Han said seriously, Chen Deng listened seriously, and there was a small brazier between the two, and the heat was constantly lingering.

"And I, who once saved Bao Xiang's life, tomorrow I will strongly recommend you to be Peng Chengxiang, Bao Xiang should be able to consider it, as long as he goes to tell the lord, the matter can be achieved."

"Then I...... What to do? Chen Deng's eyes were puzzled, and he looked at Zhang Han in confusion, and then at Sun Qian.

He could see that Sun Qian's words were introduced here to make Zhang Han think about his choice.

Zhang Han's words decided whether to help or refuse, but he chose to help and support me for 2,000 stones, is he ready to set up a faction?

Zhang Han is not a big official, but his energy is really great, and there are people everywhere who owe him favors.

"You are a good official," Zhang Han's eyes widened strangely, and he said in his heart, what do you mean by this expression, I can't do anything secretly with you, "Don't live up to the fact that I used human favors for the first time to do this kind of thing." ”

Zhang Han smiled bitterly, "I never did this, for your sake, I made another exception." ”

Moreover, I also want to see if I can earn me some merit in exchange for rewards if I can recommend you for the benefit of the people, if this method is feasible, it will be wonderful in the future.

It's important to you, and it's a great opportunity for me to experiment.

Chen Deng's nose was sour, and he said in a low voice: "It's all ambition, and Yuanlong remembers it in his heart." ”

He's either trying to set up a faction, or he's just helping me.

"It's also a good thing to be good for the people, you don't have to say it so affectionately," Zhang Han didn't care very much, and patted Chen Deng's shoulder heartily.

"Well," Chen Deng also nodded thoughtfully, but in fact, he also had a hard time.

At that time, the appointment of officials by inspection was also like this, but at that time, the power was in the hands of the family, and the operation of Chen Deng was more clear.

But it doesn't work anymore.

Cao Cao's three barracks, two of which were from Zongqin generals.

The authority to appoint officials is naturally in the hands of Cao Cao, he seems to be a meritocracy, but how to define talent? In addition to those who have already made actual achievements, don't the rest still rely on recommendations?

Uncle often treats me like a sea, and repeatedly makes exceptions for me, this heroic and uninhibited, can be called a national soldier.

However, I was just a general friend with him, and I had to get close to him in Xuzhou, but it was also my fate.

When he gets married, I have to prepare a big gift.

On the second day, Zhang Han led Chen Deng to meet with Cao Cao and reported on the affairs of Xuzhou, and all parties were stable.

The battle was deployed to the vicinity of Guangling, and the garrison strictly prevented Yuan Shu from plundering the borderlands.

Moreover, the villagers from all over the country enthusiastically participated in the camp to sweep away the local bandits, and many brave people were stored in the army.

But the whole calculation is almost the same as the current situation in Yanzhou.

Guo Jia listened for a long time and shook his head secretly.

Whether it is the recital I saw during this period of time, or the content of Chen Denglai's gift, it is all two words: lack of money!

This is the case in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, where there are people, fame, fertile soil, and excellent public security.

But there is no money or food, so I can only stare dryly, and I have to be restrained in everything.

Before he could dismiss the discussion, he pulled Zhang Han out of the main hall and whispered.

"Last year, this year, two years of war, you have lost the millions of grain you earned for your lord, but the land is still there, if you recuperate like this, you can wait another two years before you can start the war."

"During the period, recruiting troops and buying horses may be able to get rich and strong, but it is far from enough," Guo Jia sighed: "I am not alarmist, compared to Yuan Shu's rampant conquest, Yan and Xu Shi are benevolent and righteous, which is better than the long-term and confined to the present." ”

"So, Brother Feng Xiao is going to raise taxes?"

Zhang Han thought according to common sense, this is the fastest way, and he can make up for it in a year.

It's just hurting the people.

"Heh," Guo Jia seemed to disdain this road, showing a sneering expression, "I think that if you want to be more solid than the territory, the lord is not as good as the Yuan brothers." ”

"Naturally, it can't be compared."

"But the Yuan family is not an unattainable court," Guo Jia habitually insulted Yuan again, and his tone was quite disdainful.

"Why?" Zhang Han arched his hand and asked, his humble and teachable appearance was the same as when he had just worked with Xi Zhicai, well-behaved, elegant and friendly.

"Because the Yuan clan is the Yuan clan of the Great Han, and without the Great Han, they are nothing," Guo Jia narrowed his eyes, "If you can get the Son of Heaven in your hands, such a call, you can be several times richer in a few months!" ”

The implication of his words is to find a way to get the Son of Heaven here, anyway, you have already planned this in your strategy.

"That's right!" Zhang Han's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh suddenly, "You say that, I really think of someone." ”

"Who?" Guo Jia looked over.

Zhang Han smiled mysteriously and said: "Come to my house for a banquet tonight, I originally planned to feast Bao Xiang, but now I want to invite one more person, let's play a play, maybe we have a chance to hook up with Chang'an......"

During this period of time, Zhang Han discovered that Guo Jia's eyes were very good at observing words and feelings, and perceiving people's hearts, which was a unique ability, at least he couldn't learn it now.

Therefore, adding a Guo Fengxiao to the banquet may have an unexpected joy.

"Tsk, it's really ugly to hook up," Guo Jia glanced at him unhappily, "I've been feasting and drinking one after another recently, and I'm tired." ”

"If this matter is successful, it can solve the difficulties of the next three or five years, or even more than ten years, and it is also an extremely important part of the sacrificial wine strategy," Zhang Han said this, lowered his head and thought about it, and immediately raised his head and said: "Moreover, I invite a group of dancing girls with excellent dancing posture and graceful figures, who can relax and invigorate the blood for Master Guo." ”

"That's it, since it is for the sake of the lord's plan, I have no regrets, and I will come tonight." Guo Jia's waist was straight, with the armrests of his sleeves behind him, and he insisted on this posture.

He didn't look back at Zhang Han, he didn't even move, he was usually itchy when he was cold, but he could not move.

This cheekiness is not inferior to the sacrificial wine, but the two use it differently.

I almost believed it, you're such a pusher...... Zhang Hanxin said.

……

Night! Go to sleep! Wake up early tomorrow for updates!
