Chapter 98: Hundred Workshops

Early the next morning, Cai Qiong freshened up and stopped and came to the front hall to serve tea. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Since Wei Xuan "invented" a new way of drinking tea, Cai Yan has set this rule. She knew that there would only be more and more women in Weixuan, and if there was no distinction between the upper and lower levels, wouldn't the family be chaotic.

Of course, the first tea should be given to Wei Xuan. Cai Qiong held the teacup in both hands, shouted "master" in her mouth, Ying Ying bowed down, but she just touched the injury, and couldn't help frowning slightly, showing a little pitiful.

Cai Yan quipped: "The concubine gave a flower-like sister Qiong to Lang Jun, how could Lang Jun not know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?"

Wei Xuan glared at her fiercely and said, "I don't all blame you, and I don't know how to say a word first, so that my husband can be prepared." ”

Cai Qiong's face was even more ashamed, and she hurriedly brought another cup of tea to Cai Yan, bowed, and said lightly: "Please sister use tea." ”

Cai Yan smiled and said, "In the future, you and I will really become sisters." ”

Cai Qiong answered, and served tea to Xun Cai and Diao Chan respectively. Xun Cai was calm, but Diao Chan couldn't hold back his excitement. thought that she was originally just a lowly singer, but now she also has the opportunity to let a nobleman's daughter serve tea.

Cai Yan saw that everyone had drunk the tea, so he nodded and said: "Nuxun and Diao Chan, please ask the two sisters to accompany Sister Qiong to walk around the house and ask the people to recognize the master." ”

Wei Xuan was secretly surprised, he didn't expect that Cai Yan was not only outstanding in literature, but also in an orderly manner when he managed the back house. How did he know that although Cai Yan was also a young lady of the Shi clan, she had been in exile with her father since she was a child, and she knew almost nothing about the things in the wealthy compound, otherwise she would not have disliked the Fan family in Hedong at the beginning. Cai Yan's performance today is entirely the result of Xun Cai's guidance and help. The so-called family harmony and everything is prosperous, and wives and concubines get along harmoniously, which is also a manifestation of family harmony.

Of course, Wei Xuan also guessed that Cai Yan deliberately took Xun Cai and Diao Chan away, and when he saw that only the husband and wife were left in the front hall, he asked, "Does Zhao Ji have anything to say to her husband?"

"I can't hide anything from Lang Jun. Cai Yan smiled, and suddenly said, "Lang Jun should know that the concubine is not a jealous person, if Lang Jun has a woman he likes, he will be accepted into the mansion, and he doesn't have to hide in the outer gold house." ”

Wei Xuan was surprised: "Jinwu Zangjiao, where did Zhao Ji start with this?"

Cai Yan sighed softly and said, "A few days ago, Lang Jun went to Changsha to fight, and the concubine had nothing to do, so he went to the county guard mansion opposite to help his father sort out the books. ”

Wei Xuan understood, and said with a smile: "You mean the three women locked up behind the county guard's mansion?"

"Guan?" This time it was Cai Yan's turn to be surprised, and asked repeatedly, "Lang Jun is saying that those three women were imprisoned by Lang Jun there?"

Wei Xuan nodded and said, "Do you know who those three women are? They are the Empress Dowager He of the Han Dynasty, the Tang Concubine of the Hongnong King, and the Princess Liu Yun of Wannian. ”

Cai Yan changed color and said, "How can Lang Jun do such an arrogant thing!"

Wei Xuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for the husband's rescue, they would have been on Dong Zhuo's couch a long time ago! The stakes are so high that we must not divulge them!"

If this matter leaks out, he and Dong Zhuo will immediately turn their faces. Of course, with his joining, Dong Zhuo's downfall is just around the corner. But in this way, he doesn't have much time to calmly collect Jiangdong and Bashu.

Cai Yan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lang Jun, the concubine knows how powerful." Lang Jun does not need to worry, the concubine will visit him in the morning and evening, which will make him understand Lang Jun's painstaking efforts. ”

Wei Xuan thought about it and thought that this was fine, so he agreed and said, "Tomorrow, my husband will go and say a word to the old servant, so that he must not stop his wife." ”

......

The people recruited from various counties arrived one after another, and rows of tents were erected in the suburbs, and the whole city of Xiangyang became lively.

Cai Mao always thought that he could become the Taishou of Nanjun and be responsible for such a large-scale project, all thanks to his sister Cai Qiong, otherwise he would not have sent Cai Qiong to Wei Xuan couch in a hurry. But he had seen Wei Xuan's ruthless methods to deal with Cao Yin and Zhu Zhi, and he didn't dare to take it lightly, and walked around various construction sites almost all day long, doing his best.

In order to complete the task of "project quality traceability" assigned by Wei Xuan, Cai Mao also used his brains and sent all the scribes under his command to register these people one by one, record their family situation in detail, and must have fellow villagers to confirm each other, so that if something goes wrong, the law of Zhulian can be implemented.

The registration of 300,000 people is a huge project in itself, and there are simply not enough scribes under the jurisdiction of the Taishou Mansion of Nanjun, so Cai Mao mobilized the children of the entire Cai family to participate. As the No. 1 family in Xiangyang, there are not many really talented people in the Cai family, but there are hundreds of children who can read and write, which really helps Cai Mao a lot, which also shows the deep heritage of the Cai family.

It doesn't matter if you don't register, this registration was really discovered by Cai Mao. Among the people from Nanyang and Changsha counties, there are many relatives who served as soldiers in Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's army, and some are even Wu Chang, Shi Chang, and Bai Chang.

Cai Mao got the roster, hurriedly came to see Wei Xuan, and said: "Lord, why don't you detain these people, no matter how bad they are, you should expel them back to the counties!"

He was actually worried that these people would not be willing to do their best when expanding Xiangyang City, and even deliberately made trouble, and even he would not be able to get rid of it when the time came. And participating in the expansion of Xiangyang City, you can earn a net of 300 yuan per month, as long as you work for four months, the livelihood of the whole year will be settled, and the people waiting to join do not know how many, and they are not bad for these people.

Wei Xuan's side was jokingly arguing, but he said: "Lord, you must not treat everyone equally!"

Wei Xuan waved his hand and said: "Not only should they be treated equally, but they should also help them repair books to their families, so that they can serve in the army of Yuan Shu and Sun Jian with peace of mind." ”

After the two finished speaking, they glanced at each other and laughed.

If these people are detained or driven home, it can indeed mess up the morale of Yuan Shu and Sun Jian. But this news also has to be deliberately spread, and Yuan Shu and Sun Jian can also refute it on the grounds of rumors. After all, in this era, there is no television, no Internet, and the flow of information is extremely poor. At this point, Wei Xuan naturally has no way to compare with Yuan Shu and Sun Jian. But the information coming out of the mouths of those sergeants and their own families was much more credible than what Yuan Shu and Sun Jian said.

Cai Mao was able to do it at the beginning, and his brain was not too stupid, so he quickly understood the intention of Wei Xuan and the joke, and said in a loud voice: "The lord is wise, his subordinates will do it!"

Wei Xuan glanced at the roster, and suddenly said, "Wait!"

Cai Mao hurriedly said, "What else does the lord have to order?"

Wei Xuan pointed to the roster and said, "I didn't expect that there were many craftsmen in it. The order goes down, and the salary of the elderly who has a skill will be doubled. In addition, there are highly skilled people, who can have priority to enter the hundred workshops in the future, be hired as official craftsmen, and enjoy the official wealth. ”
