Chapter 247 Wang Yun sent a big sword and warmly invited 12,000 words to worship
After intensive publicity, the construction of the palace and Xiwu began.
Many civilians, with incomparable enthusiasm, came out of various villages, and under the leadership of some government officials, they gathered all the way towards Chang'an, or Xiwu, which is dozens of miles west of Chang'an...
Some went into the mountains to cut down trees...
In this busy time, the reputation of Liu Cheng and Liu Huangshu also began to grow more rapidly, and it really spread throughout the land of Guanzhong!
When these people discovered that someone was carefully recording their daily work, their gratitude to Uncle Liu became even stronger!
After working for ten days, officials led the soldiers and began to distribute precious grains to them according to the recorded work conditions. Every one of these people's eyes were red!
Not only did he work harder, but his gratitude to Liu Cheng and Uncle Liu became even stronger!
Liu Cheng was extremely successful in winning over people's hearts!
It was also at this moment, after careful thinking and preparation, Situ Wang Yun sent his confidants to see Liu Cheng, carrying his handwritten letter and a good sword.
Liu Cheng was still busy at this time.
By this time, the people who had moved from Luoyang had been settled down, and the initial construction of Mintun was successful.
But there are still many things to be busy with.
For example, ensuring that the people who went to build the palace and the docks could get the food they should get.
For example, about one-third of the civilian villages did not participate in the construction of Xiwu and the imperial palace.
It's not that they don't want to go, but because there are too many people involved in building the palace and the dock!
We already have enough manpower!
No more can be accommodated!
Liu Cheng had to find a way for them to create more suitable jobs so that these people could go to work...
"The person who made this opinion really deserves to die! He wants to take advantage of everything!"
Liu Cheng sneered, with anger in his voice.
The reason why this is the case is because someone in the DPRK put forward some very good suggestions in response to this situation of labor surplus.
The advice is simple.
That is, we no longer need so many people to build the palace and the docks, so why not bring the remaining people in the villages to Chang'an and let them build houses for the ministers.
In this case, wouldn't it be possible to solve the problem perfectly?
This sounds like a very reasonable suggestion, but it is a typical example of harming the public and enriching private interests!
After all, the money and food currently given to the common people who participated in the construction of the palace were all collected by Dong Zhuo before, as well as the savings left by some big men.
When Dong Zhuo was in power, it was reasonable for Dong Zhuo to use the money and grain to build a palace and build a private residence for himself by taking advantage of the opportunity of providing relief to the people.
After all, one is the emperor and the other is the person who actually holds the power of the empire. No one can object to his move.
But some people want to take advantage of this opportunity and use the country's food to build their own private residences. This is going too far!
This is a typical example of harming the public and enriching private interests!
Faced with such a situation, how could Liu Cheng, a man with a sense of justice, agree and not get furious?
Of course, in addition to this, there is another reason that is so small and inconspicuous that these wealthy officials are taking this opportunity to build their own houses. So how will Liu Cheng sell cement in the future?
How can we earn some money from these wealthy officials through legitimate channels?
"No, I have to go to Chang'an in person to meet with the Prime Minister and tell him about this matter!"
Liu Cheng thought for a while and then said this.
It was at this time that Zhao Yun, who had become the commander of Liu Cheng's bodyguard, came over to report to Liu Cheng, saying that someone under Situ Wang Yunrang had sent a handwritten letter and a sword.
With that said, he handed the letter and the sword to Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng was slightly startled when he heard this, obviously he did not expect that Wang Yun would actually send someone to bring these things to him at this time.
He nodded to Zhao Yun and reached out to take it.
Instead of reading the letter, he looked at the sword first.
The scabbard and hilt of this sword are decorated with seven treasures, each connected to form the shape of the Big Dipper.
When he pulled it out, he saw that the sword was like autumn water.
Liu Cheng pulled some of his hair, placed it on the edge of the sword, and blew hard, and the hair broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.
What a good sword!
Unexpectedly, Wang Yun has hidden many good things!
Not only the Seven Treasure Sword, but also the Seven Star Sword!
The Seven-Star Sword was presented to Dong Zhuo by Cao Mengde when he was preparing to assassinate Dong Zhuo. This Seven-Star Sword is in his hands today!
"A sharp sword!"
When Zhao Yun saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh.
Liu Cheng then smiled and said: "Since Zilong likes it, then I will give this Seven-Star Sword to Zilong!"
After saying that, he put the sword back into the scabbard and handed it to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun did not pick it up and hurriedly saluted Liu Cheng: "This is the sword that Situ gave to the lord, how dare Zhao Yun accept it?
This sword is so sharp and precious, only a person like the Lord can be worthy of it...
And, moreover, I don’t know what I said to my lord in the letter from Duke Situ, and whether there is anything I can’t agree to. If I just accept his sword like this, I’m afraid there will be something wrong with it.”
Liu Cheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Zilong, you are still attentive and consider things thoroughly!
However, what bad intentions does a person like Wang Situ have?
I will definitely not make any excessive demands in the letter!"
As he said this, he thrust the Seven Star Sword into Zhao Yun's hand.
"Zilong, just keep it safely. I can't use this thing. I have a big iron halberd, and this knife is enough for use. Keeping any more is a waste."
Liu Cheng said, reaching out and patting the butcher's knife stuck in his waist.
Then he spoke again: "Even if Wang Situ made any unreasonable demands in the letter, it doesn't matter. Anyone who accepts the sword sent by him must do what he said in the letter.
?
If I took away his sword and didn't comply with his request, could he still come over and ask for the sword in person?
Moreover, even if he asks for it, how can I give it to him?"
Zhao Yun, who was holding the seven-star sword that Liu Cheng gave him, felt complicated and moved in his heart. Hearing his lord's words, he was stunned for a moment.
I feel like something is falling apart in my heart.
I really can’t believe that my lord is such a lord!
How could he say so confidently about accepting someone else's sword and not doing anything for them!
How can there be such a shameless person!
However, looking at the seven-star sword in his hand that could be broken by blowing the hair, Zhao Yun felt that it was not impossible for his lord to act like this occasionally, and it would not affect the tall and mighty image of his lord in his mind...
While Zhao Yun was holding the Seven-Star Sword and watching with a complicated mood for a moment, Liu Cheng opened the letter Wang Yun gave him.
Bamboo slips were used.
His calligraphy is very good, but not as good as his father-in-law Cai Yong...
When Liu Cheng took it apart and took a look, he couldn't help but have a strange smile on his face, and some strange feelings arose in his heart.
Because Wang Yun, who gave himself a big sword, did not make any undue demands for himself in the letter.
I just highly praised what I had accomplished during this period, and then used this as a reason to invite myself over for a drink.
Wang Yun wants to treat himself to a drink!
Recalling the various things Wang Yun did by drinking wine in history, it would be strange if Liu Cheng didn't feel weird in his heart.
After all, this is how Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo fell into his trap.
As a result, Wang Yun now invited him over to have a drink.
Moreover, it was Lu Bu who led his troops and was stationed in Huayin. He had never been to Chang'an before, so he treated himself to a drink!
Liu Cheng couldn’t even think about this!
Could it be that Wang Yun also wants to use a beauty trap on himself, and then use a series of traps on the way?
Let yourself merge with Dong Zhuo?
If you have nothing to do, you can go over to see Wang Yun, take a look at Wang Yun's beautiful daughter, and figure out what kind of medicine Wang Yun sells in his gourd.
But now, he still has a lot of business to do, so where can he think about playing with Wang Yun?
Even if Wang Yun has a beautiful daughter, it won't work.
Diaochan, who is soft and fragrant and has left such a great reputation in history, for Liu Cheng now, has not continued to harvest the hearts of ordinary people in Guanzhong, and has taken advantage of the opportunity to quickly carry out infrastructure construction here in Guanzhong to create a
It is a stable food-producing resort and it is important to turn this place into a solid base.
After all, if he wants to compete for that position, he can't just rely on the army. He also needs money, food, people, and his own stable and solid rear area!
In this way, there will be a steady stream of money, food, and soldiers provided to you.
Let yourself have stronger capital.
With something like this, in the years to come, when competing with others for world supremacy, even if they really lose two games, they will not be devastated, and they can quickly organize their troops and make a comeback!
It can be said that Liu Cheng, who had grown up rapidly relying on his own strength and outstanding ability in combat, had no roots.
On the surface it looks very beautiful and powerful, but in fact it is not.
He grew up rapidly, but lacked a foundation and was like a rootless tree.
Liu Cheng himself knew this, so after leaving Luoyang, he immediately left the army and came to Guanzhong to resettle the people and benefit them.
This series of things he has done, as well as the things he will do next, are all efforts to take root downwards, and take root deeply in the land of Guanzhong.
As long as the root penetrates deeply and spreads around, Liu Cheng's heart can be considered settled.
He really has the capital and strength to compete with the people of this era for hegemony in the world!
At such a critical period, Liu Cheng naturally did not want to pay attention to Wang Yun and Wang Yun's beautiful daughter...
Liu Cheng thought this in his heart, and smiled and said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, go and tell Wang Situ's messenger that I have something to be busy with now, and I will wait for a while before you bother me."
Zhao Yun, who had already hung the seven-star sword on his waist, instinctively felt that this was not good after hearing this.
But Liu Cheng gave the order, and had clearly expressed his intention to throw away Wang Yun's Seven-Star Sword before, so he immediately followed Liu Cheng's order.
However, before going out to reply to Wang Yun's envoy, Zhao Yun carefully took off the seven-star sword hanging from his waist and left it in the tent.
After all, Wang Situ gave this sword to his lord, but in the blink of an eye, he hung it on his waist and walked up to Wang Situ's messenger. After all, it was not good.
Liu Cheng noticed Zhao Yun's careful behavior and couldn't help but smile.
Zhao Yun is meticulous and he truly deserves his reputation!
After Zhao Yun sent away the messenger sent by Wang Yun and left, Liu Chenggong took Zhao Yun and some other people from the Tuntian Zhonglang Administrative Office outside Chang'an, and rode all the way to Chang'an...
In Chang'an City, which was no longer as desolate as before, Wang Yun was quickly handling the political affairs at hand.
He is in a hurry.
Today, I sent my men to meet Uncle Liu Huang with the Seven-Star Sword and my own handwritten letter.
Now that the farm work has been initially completed, Uncle Liu Huang also has some free time.
Under such circumstances, he, a dignified Situ, presented a sword and invited me personally. There was no reason for him to refuse his invitation.
Wang Yun was running his office so quickly at this time because he wanted to finish the affairs at hand as soon as possible so that he could entertain Liu Cheng who was going to his place for a meeting later.
Thinking about the plan he had in mind, Wang Yun couldn't help but feel happy.
When I came out today, I had already told Diao Chan to dress up properly.
Diao Chan, this daughter, is already extremely beautiful. If she is dressed up carefully, she will be even more radiant!
It is not a problem to charm Uncle Liu Huang and then send him to Uncle Liu Huang!
With this thought in his heart, Wang Yun handles government affairs faster!
Soon after, someone came in a hurry. It was the messenger sent by Wang Yun to invite Liu Cheng.
The messenger said a few words in Wang Yun's ear.
Wang Yun was stunned immediately...
…
"My father-in-law, some officials came over and asked the remaining people in the villages to come to Chang'an to work and build houses.
He also said that time waits for no one, and the rations previously allocated to the villages are running low. If we don’t take action to find work for these people, we will have to distribute rations to these people in vain again!"
At about the same time, Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's absolute confidant, came to Dong Zhuo to convey the news to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment: "Don't be anxious first. Wait until Kede gets a reply and see Kede's opinion on this matter before making a decision!"
Mintun, as well as the use of work as a substitute for development, were all created by Kede, and Kede understood these things.
We are one of our own and can be trusted in what we say and do..."
