Chapter 1989 Family love, wearing armor and removing armor
"Haha..."
Cao Cao sneered.
"In the place where the hussars are riding, it is a newlywed and a carefree place... But why is it that this place is really filled with smoke and evil spirits? Hmm? Tell me about it?"
Cao Pi lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
Cao Pi woke up very early today because he was hit by Cao Cao while he was sleeping in yesterday.
People, when winter comes, they just feel that a warm bed is not as good as a good thing. In addition, Cao Pi is not very old and is somewhat lethargic. Naturally, he was scolded by Cao Cao.
Cao Pi originally thought that if he got up earlier today, it would be a sign of his improvement, and he would get some praise from Cao Cao, but he didn't expect that he would face such a problem...
This damn horse, what does it have to do with me whether he gets married or not?
Why do you even throw the matter of Hussar at my head?
Cao Pi did not dare to use his little arms to twist his father's thigh, so he naturally placed all his resentment on General Fei Qian, and wrote it down in a small notebook in his mind...
Cao Cao has been suffering from stagnation of liver energy for the past two days. The reason is very simple. The death of the Qinghe County Magistrate left him with a good reputation, while Cao Cao had a bad reputation on his forehead that he couldn't take off even if he wanted to.
The magistrate of Qinghe County was very poor. His eldest son died young and he only had one daughter.
Cao Cao also sent someone to express his generosity and express his generosity. The magistrate of Qinghe County did not need to do this at all. He could just give normal advice. Why use such a drastic method? Look, I was scolded.
I still go to take care of his family, is there such a kind lord as me in the world?
But Cao Cao's bad breath can only be suppressed. How can he avoid stagnation of liver qi? So when I saw Cao Pi yesterday, he scolded Cao Pi for a while, which is normal. However, even if he scolded Cao Pi, it could not relieve him.
Cao Cao's depression was not caused by Cao Pi, so when Cao Cao got angry, he got angry again. After getting angry, he was still depressed when he should have been.
Cao Pi quickly glanced at his father's face, thinking that he couldn't see him, and then hesitantly said: "Qiao Qi Wuyou, most of them are united, but my father may have different intentions..."
"Well..." Cao Cao nodded and shook his head, "Some are right, some are wrong..."
"Ah?" Cao Pi was stunned, what do you mean by "some are right and some are wrong"?
In fact, Cao Cao can generally know the difference between himself and Fei Qian, but the problem is that even if he knows, it is not easy to deal with...
Just like decoration, it requires mud and water, electricians, not to mention carpentry, plus painters, hardware workers, and a lot of other things. But if it is a rough house, it may be relatively simple. According to
The process is done step by step, but if it has been renovated before and needs to be dismantled and renovated, and then accidentally hits the water pipe, knocks out the neighbor's wall, and then leaks the original waterproof layer...
Although the metaphor may not be very appropriate, the meaning is roughly the same. Fei Qian grew up step by step, and many things happened naturally. But Cao Cao swallowed up Yanzhou in one bite, then Xuzhou in one bite, and now Jizhou
Swallowing it in the stomach will inevitably lead to indigestion and other things.
"Hmph..." Cao Cao glanced at Cao Pi and thought about how this kid still seemed smart and smart when he was young. Why did he go back as he grew older? But after all, he was still his own child, so he mentioned something,
"You think there are no constraints on the hussar? There are all the same! It's just..."
There are also some contradictions within Feiqian, but Feiqian can basically suppress these contradictions, and these internal conflicts under Feiqian are not too severe. Even the noble land system with the greatest conflict of interests has
Many regulations and laws will change very significantly when the next generation inherits, such as real estate property tax. Although everyone knows that this thing will have earth-shaking changes and will be launched at some time in the future, but not now
Not yet, so there is no need for the big landlord class to jump up immediately...
If we give Cao Cao ten or eight years, and then slowly penetrate it bit by bit, although Cao Cao, a relative of the general, has not officially taken office yet, with Cao Cao's methods, he can naturally become quite reliable. It's just that
, Cao Cao cannot afford to wait now and cannot delay.
At present, many nobles in Jizhou and Yuzhou have different thoughts from Cao Cao. They now feel that the Central Plains has been pacified, and since Fei Qian is willing to stay in Guanzhong and not come out, then he will not come out. Anyway, he originally abandoned Guanzhong and Longyou areas.
This argument is very popular among Shandong nobles, so the most important thing now is to resume production and stabilize the defense. As long as the Central Plains is not lost, why bother provoking Fei Qian again?
Therefore, most of the nobles in Jizhou and Yuzhou felt that there was no need to fight, and they did not want to continue fighting. They wanted to take advantage of the fact that there was still a lot of fleeing unowned land to expand their industries. After all, they were risking their lives back then.
Risks, gritting one's teeth and not escaping. Now that the situation has been decided, it is natural to gain some. Otherwise, they will all be taken away by the Cao family and the Xiahou family. Wouldn't it be like trying to draw water from a bamboo basket in vain?
"So, do you understand?" Cao Cao asked.
"Understood!" Cao Pi immediately said.
Cao Cao glanced over, "What do you understand?"
"Uh... this..." Cao Pi quickly glanced at Cao Cao again, "Understand the difference between the current situation and the hussar..."
"What's the difference?" Cao Cao asked.
"Well...that..." Cao Pi held it in for a moment, and suddenly said with a feeling of happiness, "Yes, marriage, by the way, if the Qiaoqi gets married, my father will also get married..."
"You bastard!" Cao Cao was furious. I've been talking about it for a long time, but you brat only remembers that Fei is married? "Get out! Copy the Chunqiu Zuo family and give it to someone!"
Cao Pi was startled, "Du, are you... copying?"
"Let's copy Duke Zhuang of Lu first!" Cao Cao snorted.
Cao Pi held his head and left.
Cao Cao looked at it and suddenly frowned. This bastard seemed to have some truth in what he said... However, the punishment has been paid, so let's leave it like this...
……(｀へ′)……
"Are there any rumors outside?"
Cao Hong was still wearing his armor and was sitting in the hall with a serious look on his face. Yesterday, when he brought the captured workshop manager into the city, Cao Hong was the first to let the news out. Now, he is waiting for someone to jump out first.
Cao Fu shook his head and said: "The street is very stable, I haven't heard any rumors..."
"Hmm..." Cao Hong took a deep breath and frowned, "Does it mean... that we haven't found it yet? It's not like..."
The capture of the workshop manager means that the armor incident has been exposed. At this time, whether it is to attack the Cao family or to fight for this piece of food, some actions are required, but why is there no movement?
After yesterday's unusual incident, Cao Fu's understanding of Cao Hong has also changed somewhat. Now that he sees Cao Hong frowning, he no longer pretends he didn't see it as he did before. He is also thinking on the side, "Has it not been conveyed yet?"
Cao Hong interrogated the workshop manager yesterday and deliberately left a hole, which is the so-called "masked man". Since it is masked, it means it could be anyone, so once someone jumps out, Cao Hong will immediately pounce on him
, put the masked man's hat on his head, and then knocked him to the ground with a stick to intimidate the other nobles. But now, there is no movement, which makes the stick in Cao Hong's hand unknown.
Where to put it...
"Wait a minute..." Cao Hong muttered, "When a rabbit leaves the nest, it is inevitable to look left and right..."
Cao Fu nodded and said, "Then let's go out and find out more!"
"Well, let's go!" Cao Hong watched Cao Fu leave, feeling somewhat comforted in his chaotic mood. The child had finally grown up and knew how to share the worries of his parents...
……(′^ω^`)……
Beside a road outside Xu County.
Xun Yu was sitting in the pavilion, with a calm face and no waves.
"Your Majesty, the elder has left the city..." A servant reported in a low voice.
Xun Yu nodded, indicating that he understood, and then sat in the pavilion, letting the wind blow his robes.
After a while, a line of carriages and horses meandered towards the far side of the road. Then when they reached two or three hundred steps away from the pavilion, they obviously spotted Xun Yu's figure and stopped immediately.
Xun Yu stood up and said, "I have a lot of affairs and I haven't greeted my elders in the clan for a long time. I can see you today and know that the elders are well as before, which comforts my heart..."
Elder Xun knew that he couldn't escape, so he simply stopped the carriage and horses in front of the pavilion, then got out of the carriage, leaning on his cane, looked at Xun Yu and said, "You are here, do you want to fall in love with Xun Yu?"
Xun Yu raised his hands and said, "I don't dare." Then Xun Yu straightened up, looked at the elder Xun family, and said, "As a minister, I must be loyal and righteous. If someone disrupts the imperial court, it will be in vain for the people of the country. Yu can't just sit back and watch."
ignore."
Elder Xun snorted and ignored Xun Yu. He walked straight into the pavilion, sat down, put his crutch aside, and then said in a deep voice to the left and right: "Everyone, get out!"
Elder Xun's servants naturally retreated in response, but the guards brought by Xun Yu looked at Xun Yu, saw Xun Yu waving, and then stood farther away.
"In the second year of Zhongping, the Xun family had more than 24,000 acres of land, more than 3,000 households of village slaves, and more than 8,000 households... In the third year of Yanping, the land of the Xun family was 35,000 acres, but there were only less than 2,000 households of village slaves!
More than five thousand mouths!" Elder Xun stared at Xun Yu and said in a deep voice, "What about this year?! Don't say you don't know!"
Xun Yu was silent.
"When Ciming was still alive, Xun gave a lecture and people gathered from all directions! Not to mention Yingchuan, Jizhou and Yuzhou, who didn't know the name "Xun's Eight Dragons"?!" Elder Xun narrowed his eyes, and the light under Lada's eyelids pierced Xun.
Yu, "After you become the head of the family, do you dare to ask how much the Xun family's reputation will benefit?!"
Xun Yu remained silent.
"In the past, when the five prefectures summoned people, Ci Ming didn't respond. Instead, he promoted his clan members and spread his blessings throughout the clan... But what about you? When the ministers of the dynasty ordered the officials to govern, who did they select? Guo Zhong, Chen Duman, all of whom have foreign surnames.
, How can any clan member stand out?" Elder Xun paused his crutch angrily, "You eat two thousand dan, but the clan's waist is tight! Does this mean that you are loyal to the king and patriotic, more important than the country?"
"When you were young, Ci Ming praised you for your intelligence and virtuousness. He said that you would definitely be a person who would rejuvenate the country and bring glory to the family. Therefore, he would rather give up his own children and pass on the family head to you!" Elder Xun stared at Xun Yu, hoarsely.
The voice was like a knife piercing Xun Yu, "But what? There is no need to rejuvenate the country and bring peace to the country, and there will definitely be no glorious lintel! Last winter, there was heavy snow, and two of the Xun family's children froze to death and five were injured! Without him, it would be you.
Dedicated to serving the country and being fair and just, the Xun family’s children have no money to use! It’s because the weather is cold and they have to go out to collect firewood!”
"Although you said that the compensation after the event is safe, but even if it is a side branch, it is still the blood of the Xun family! How can you abandon it lightly? You want fairness and justice, but the Cao family and the Xiahou family will freeze to death outside the city in the severe cold.
?The old man is already in his twilight years, and he is traveling all over the world. This is not what he wants, but he wants the Xun family to continue!"
"What happened today is an old system passed down from our ancestors since Emperor Xiaozhao of the Han Dynasty!" Elder Xun continued, "Gong Cao stopped selling wine and talked about hurting the farmers, but he did not continue it as a routine, so we accepted it, but now he has invaded the salt industry.
Iron, this is the foundation of every race, how can we let it be manipulated by it?"
If Cao Cao wants to improve his armor, he naturally needs to gather craftsmen to develop it, but how many qualified blacksmiths can there be in the Cao Xiahou family? So naturally, it is inevitable to recruit craftsmen from various clans, and for Yingchuan,
Or for these families in Yuzhou, craftsmen are also an important resource for them. Now Cao Cao has placed them under Cao Hong for management. After taking care of them, they may have changed their surnames and become members of the Cao family.
…
How did you hold back this uncle and aunt? Who would be so satisfied that they would burst into laughter? Will they willingly say that it doesn’t matter, Boss Cao will take it all, and we will all voluntarily reduce our wages?
Elder Xun didn't expect to get any answer from Xun Yu, because he knew Xun Yu just as Xun Yu knew him, so Elder Xun stood up again with his cane and said, "Someone knows about this matter."
I can't hide it from you...I won't hide it from you either. There is also the Guo family and the Chen family in the village. If you still say that you are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, just lead your troops and kill the old man and others together! Humph!
You, just take care of yourself!"
After saying that, Elder Xun shook his sleeves, climbed into the car with a cane, then turned his head to the side, without looking at Xun Yu, and ordered to continue moving forward.
Xun Yu worshiped at the left side of the road. It was not until Elder Xun left that he slowly straightened up, his expression somewhat lonely.
"Fengxiao...if you were here, what would you do..."
(The wind gently picked up the corner of Xun Yu's clothes, and then swayed it around Xun Yu's legs and feet. After a while, he saw that Xun Yu was standing blankly, neither paying attention to favorites, nor giving monthly tickets or recommendations.
Ticket, he turned around angrily, snorted and left...)
……╭(╯^╰)╮……
"What?!"
Cao Hong stood up and brought the horse to the ground with a clang.
"Father, this is indeed the case... There was talk in the city because the hussar wanted to harm Mr. Cao, so he sent thieves to coerce the steward of the workshop..." Cao Fu reported, "First, he sold it to someone as a good product, and then quietly replaced it with inferior quality.
, causing harm to our army on the battlefield..."
Cao Hong's beard kept trembling, this, how could he make it up like this?
But the problem is that logically, it seems to make sense.
Qingqi Feiqian and Cao Cao are in opposition, so it is natural to resort to any means. At the same time, if it really turns out to be like what the rumors say, first use good things to get through, and then use a lot of inferior ones.
It seems to be a good way to use armor to reduce the combat effectiveness of Cao's army...
But, damn it, are all the Cao and Xiahou clan fools?
Even if Cao Hong is greedy in other things, at least military items still have to be inspected personally, not to mention the more stringent Xiahou Dun...
Now the army is basically under the direct command of the Xiahou family of the Cao family. Even if there are some idiots who don't have brains and will be deceived, the vast majority of the children of the Xiahou family of the Cao family will definitely not watch this kind of thing happen indifferently, so
This kind of statement can only deceive ordinary people, and it simply cannot be established in Cao Hong's case!
Cao Hong sneered and said: "Hmph! How brave... do you think that we are all stupid people?!" This not only insulted Cao Hong's personality, but also insulted Cao Hong's IQ!
When Cao Fu heard this, he was furious and said, "Let's go find out later. Where did the rumors come from? If we get to the bottom of it, we will also punish him severely!"
"Stay here! Cough! You don't have to go!" Cao Hong stopped Cao Fu, then pondered for a long time, and finally sighed, "Go and have the manager of the workshop beheaded in public for the crime of greed for money and lack of military success!"
"Father!" Cao Fu couldn't understand.
"Someone said that this matter..." Cao Hong closed his eyes, "Let's end it like this for the time being!"
Collaborating with the enemy is naturally a serious crime, but the problem is that the definition of "enemy" itself is ambiguous.
If it is said that the Hussar General is the enemy, the problem is that the Hussar General opened up new territories, and he was also the serious governor of Xijing and Tong Sangong who was recently conferred by the Han Dynasty. Then such a person is the enemy, then the Hussar General
Who is the enemy?
This is first of all, it doesn’t make sense in name.
After all, many things can be done off the table, but on the table, it's a bit embarrassing. Just like a cute girl wearing a skirt, everything is fine, but taking off her pants is somewhat against the rules.
Secondly, if we really want to investigate, is there only one person in Xu County who has dealings with the Cavalry General Fei Qian and is suspected of "collaborating with the enemy"? The manager of the workshop is the only one?
If this kind of crime were really investigated, many officials in Xu County would immediately be trembling with fear, fearing that they would be implicated. Then in such an atmosphere, how much work efficiency could be achieved? Spring plowing,
It is inevitable that something will go wrong again, which will affect this year's harvest...
Finally, when such rumors came out, it was equivalent to telling Cao Hong that now the Qiusi was involved, and further up, it was the emperor. Of course, it did not mean that this matter was authorized by the emperor. After all, the emperor Liu Xie did not have that ability, and
It's a subtle expression, stop it, if you continue, you will break the sky...
Cao Hong looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh, "Here comes someone... taking off his armor..."
