Chapter 357 The Deputy Envoy Turns Out To Be Him (1/2)
Chapter 357 The deputy envoy turned out to be him (1/2)
In February of the eighth year of Jian'an, Cao Chong entered the official school.
Deng Ai and Xun Yu also entered the official school with Cao Chong. Since Deng Ai's father, Deng Ji, was already an official worth two thousand shi, Deng Ai was qualified to receive a doctorate. Of course, Cao Chong
There was no need to worry about this qualification with Xun Mao. After some discussion, the three of them officially became their disciples, Pu Yang Kai, a doctor of the Five Classics, and began their academic career. Before that, Pu Yang Kai had two students, one was
His son Puyang Yi, the other is named Lu Dai... Lu Dai, also known as Lu Mao, Lu Xun's younger brother. He came to Xu Du on Lu Xun's order to secretly inquire about Xu Du's news. At the same time, he also served as a
The task is to observe Cao Peng.
Puyang Kai was a doctor of the Five Classics and entered Imperial College.
However, Pu Yangyi and Lu Hao needed to continue their studies, so they easily obtained the qualifications of Imperial College.
Lu Xun was also very happy about this. After all, being able to enter Taixue represented a great future. Just like going to Tsinghua and Peking University in later generations, it was also a symbol of status and identity. Lu Xun also yearned to enter Taixue in his early years.
, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to fulfill his wish in this life... After all, he has now entered Sun Quan's shogunate, served as the governor of Xicao, and worshiped the post of captain of Haichang Tuntian and captain of Haichang. At the same time, Sun Quan also attached great importance to Lu Xun.
Not only because of Lu Xun's outstanding talents, but also because of the two major families behind him.
Lu Xun married a lady from the Gu family and formed an alliance with the Gu family, which immediately stabilized the Lu family's position in Jiangdong.
At the same time, Lu Xun was very wise and disbanded his troops and merged with Jiangdong Bingma.
This also made Lu Xun, in the eyes of Sun Quan, a wise man who understood current affairs...
It has to be said that although Sun Quan and Sun Ce are brothers, they are completely different. Sun Ce is resolute, brave, decisive and capable; Sun Quan is equally decisive, but there is a hint of femininity in his fortitude. After Sun Ce's death, Jiangdong Biyaner took over Jiangdong and quickly pacified it.
The turmoil in Jiangdong. He took a completely different approach from Sun Ce. He no longer suppressed the Jiangdong nobles wantonly. Instead, he used tolerant methods to promote the children of the Jiangdong nobles and ease the conflicts with the nobles. At the same time, he vigorously promoted the common people.
The descendants of the clan, such as Xu Sheng, a native of Langya County, Shandong, lived in Wu County in their early years and became one of the tyrants in the market towns of Wu County. In the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan first took control of Jiangdong.
Borrowing common people to control the gentry.
Win over the nobles and suppress the powerful Jiangdong...
Sun Quan was about the same age as Cao Peng, but his methods were indeed brilliant, and even Cao Cao couldn't help but praise him.
"Sun Zhongmou is currently farming in Haichang, and he is probably influenced by his lord, Haixi, who is farming in Haichang."
Tian Yu drank a glass of wine with a smile, picked up a thin piece of lamb with chopsticks, rinsed it in a boiling copper pot, dipped it in the sauce, and tasted it deliciously.
"Youxue, you are the best pot in the world, you are really full of flavor."
The No. 1 Pot in the World is the name of a restaurant located in Beilixu Market. The location is very convenient.
Almost everyone who comes to Beilixu will pass by the No. 1 Guomen in the world and can smell the aroma permeating the restaurant.
In the sixth year of Jian'an, Cao Peng had nothing to do after his wedding.
By chance, Pan Yong, the leader of the wooden market from Haixi, tasted the copper hot pot and suggested that Cao Peng open restaurants in Xudu and Xiapi, Luoyang. In Pan Yong's opinion, this
Growing food will definitely cause a sensation, and he even expressed his willingness to bear all the expenses. For Cao Peng, the money earned by the restaurant is not much. He is sitting on 30% of Haixi's commercial income, so how can he care about these profits. But Guo Huan does not
She was eager to give it a try and suggested that Cao Peng open it. She had nothing to do at home, and she was not as patient as Buluan, so she might as well go out and do something.
Cao Peng didn't care and nodded in agreement.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he responded with his front foot, Cao Hong came to the door with his back foot.
Cao Hong was willing to turn his property in Beili into a restaurant and run it with Cao Peng.
As a result, Xu's Buzhuang in Beili became today's No. 1 store in Xudu. Later, Cao Peng discussed with Chen Qun to open a branch in Luoyang, and Chen Qun became a shareholder. Later, Pan Yong opened a store in Xiapi
, with Xu Qiu as a shareholder, the No. 1 pot in the world was quickly opened, and the business was extremely prosperous.
Cao Peng had nothing to do these two days, but he didn't expect Tian Yu to suddenly come to his door and invite him to have a drink with him.
Thinking about it, it seems that he has been living at home these days, so Cao Peng did not refuse and made an appointment with Tian Yu to meet at the No. 1 Pot in the World.
After listening to Tian Yu's words, Cao Peng just smiled without saying anything.
He had long heard about Sun Quan's farming in Haichang (now Yanguan Town, Haining City, Zhejiang Province), but he didn't take it to heart.
Things like farming will be popularized sooner or later. This is destined.
I think Cao Cao has made a lot of profits from farming over the years. But just Haixi can easily supply the entire Xuzhou... The price of food under Cao Cao's rule has steadily declined in the past two years. Although the gap is not big, it makes ordinary people
The life pressure of the people has been greatly reduced. At the same time, as the situation in Guanzhong gradually stabilized, farming began to be promoted in the three auxiliary areas.
In ancient times, there was a saying that the Qinchuan River of eight hundred miles made the world rich.
If Guanzhong is sufficient, then the world will be sufficient...
Once the farming in Guanzhong stabilizes, the price of food in Xudu can be reduced by at least another 30%.
How could Sun Quan turn a blind eye to the huge benefits of farming? Therefore, Cao Peng was not surprised when he learned that Sun Quan had begun to promote farming.
He took a sip of wine and said softly: "Just farming in Haichang is probably not enough to satisfy Sun Zhongmou... I estimate that his farming in Haichang is just like my lord's farming in Xudu. If the effect is significant, he will definitely go wild.
Promotion. Sun Zhongmou was not aggressive enough, but more than successful... It is a pity that the lord missed the best opportunity."
In the fourth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce was killed and Jiangdong was in turmoil.
If Cao Cao had made a big move and marched into Jiangdong, Jiangdong would have been destroyed.
Unfortunately, Cao Cao was entangled by Yuan Shao and had no time to care about Jiangdong... Now, although Yuan Shao is dead, the opportunity has passed.
Of course Tian Yu understood what Cao Peng meant, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
It's really hard to say anything about this kind of thing. I can only say that Cao Cao was unlucky and was restrained by Yuan Shao...
"Does Youxue know about the current situation of the Crown Prince?"
The prince Tian Yu mentioned was Cao Pi.
Cao Pi made great achievements during the Battle of Cangting, so much so that after Yuan Shao's death, Cao Pi was named the Five-Fun Zhonglang General.
Cao Peng smiled and said, "How is your prince?"
"There are a lot of disputes in the palace today, so my lord should establish a direct heir as soon as possible.
Think about how powerful Yuan Shaoxiong was when he was in Hebei Province. But because of this matter of establishing a direct lineage, there were many factions under his command, and they were at odds with each other. Now the brothers are even more suspicious of each other and unable to work together. The lessons learned from the past are clearly visible, which also makes the house quite tense.
Nervous. My lord is about to reach the age where he knows his destiny. Since the death of the eldest son, he has not been able to establish a direct heir... This prince's reputation is very high, so many people suggest that the lord should establish a direct heir as soon as possible to avoid repeating Yuan Shao's mistakes. Friends
Do you have any opinion on this matter?"
Tian Yu seemed to ask casually, but Cao Peng was shocked.
He immediately smiled and said: "I and other outsiders can't rush into this kind of thing, the lord can make his own decision.
Besides, my lord is not comparable to Yuan Benchu, he is in his prime years, so... Haha, if he is not in his position and does not seek political power, the country will not disturb our drinking pleasure with these things. Come, come, drink, let's drink
!”
Tian Yu's eyes flashed and he said softly: "If you are not in your position, you will not seek to govern... Hehe, You Xue said this very well.
However, I’m afraid it’s not easy for you to stay out of the matter.”
"how do I say this?"
"I remember that Youxue studied under Mr. Kongming of Wolong Valley?"
"yes!"
Cao Peng looked at Tian Yu doubtfully and thought to himself: "I am a disciple of Hu Zhao. Everyone in the world knows it. Why do you, Tian Guorang, ask questions knowingly?"
"So, Wen County Sima Zhongda is Senior Brother Youxue?"
"Uh...yes."
"I heard that Sima Zhongda is coming to Xudu to write literature for the prince."
Cao Peng was shocked and raised his head to look at Tian Yu.
The literature of the emperor? Also called the literature of the five senses and generals, it belongs to the subordinate officials of the five senses and the generals. Is Sima Yi finally coming out of the mountain?
Cao Peng couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
The significance of Sima Yi's coming out of the mountain is extraordinary.
With Sima Yi's help, Cao Pi will become even more powerful. Although Cao Peng and Sima Yi didn't spend much time together, he has always been worried about this man. Sima Yi came out! Xu Shu arrived in Xudu, and Pang Tong also came to him.
The elites active in the Three Kingdoms will all appear soon.
Only Zhuge Liang is left, still waiting for Liu Bei in Longzhong...
However, he would not wait too long, because Liu Bei had already arrived in Jingzhou. Once the two met, the gears of fate would turn. In his heart, Cao Peng looked forward to the arrival of this great era, but at the same time he felt vaguely afraid.
The Three Kingdoms, the iron horse and the war, the heroes are unparalleled.
The Three Kingdoms, endless battles, bloody rafts and oars...
This was the best of times and the worst of times.
Cao Peng himself couldn't tell clearly whether he was expecting or fearing?
"Youxue?"
"Ah...brother, what's the matter?"
Cao Peng was in a daze and never noticed that Tian Yu was calling him.
Tian Yu smiled and said: "Why, Youxue feels the pressure?"
"Pressure?" Cao Peng forced a smile and said, "What pressure can I have?"
"Today, the prince is gifted in literature, writes well in writing, has extensive knowledge and knowledge, and possesses both talent and learning. From my perspective, he will definitely be a hero."
Cao Peng narrowed his eyes, "Is Guo Rang trying to lobby for the crown prince?"
"Don't Youxue think so?"
"My lord is still here, it's too early to say anything." After saying this, Cao Peng stood up and said, "I still say that the lord's legitimate son is his family's business. We, as ministers, should do our best to assist the lord. As for who is the legitimate son?
, I'd better not get involved. Guorang, if there is nothing else, I will go back first, please forgive me for being rude..."
After saying that, Cao Peng stood up and left.
At this moment, I suddenly heard Tian Yu say: "Youxue, in ten days' time, you will travel to Mobei. You can lead an entourage of ten people and I will order people to deliver the items to your house. But then, you still have to go to Mobei."
You need to hide your whereabouts, so be careful."
Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around and looked at Tian Yu.
It turned out to be him...
In an instant, Cao Peng seemed to understand the mystery.
What Tian Yu said today was probably not his original intention, but a test by Cao Cao... Although he didn't know Cao Cao's true intention, it seemed that he should have passed this test. He frowned.
After a while, he arched his hands towards Tian Yu, turned around and strode away. Tian Yu showed a strange smile behind him.

"It's noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping from the soil. Who knows that every particle of the meal is hard work."
In Sikong Mansion, Cao Cao stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep.
The poem he recited was a gift from Cao Peng after Cao Chong officially entered school, so that Cao Chong would remember the suffering of the people.
After reading this, Cao Cao was deeply moved.
Could it be that Ah Fu thinks Cang Shu can inherit my career?
Or is he using this method to influence Cang Shu's future?
Cao Cao was a suspicious person. When he saw this poem for the first time, he couldn't help but feel deeply. But after thinking about it again, he felt that there was a mystery in it. After Cao Ang died, Cao Cao was reluctant to establish a legitimate heir. The reason
There are all kinds.
The most critical one is that Cao Pi and others were still young at that time.
Now, Cao Pi is seventeen and is gradually showing his talents. Cao Cao also intends to establish the heir apparent, but unexpectedly, Cao Peng's poem makes Cao Cao suspicious...
"Youxue said at that time that the lord's family affairs should be decided by the lord.
He is not in his position and does not pursue political affairs, so he does not show any special tendency... That's about it."
Tian Yu was behind Cao Cao, softly describing today's conversation with Cao Peng in the restaurant.
"If you're not in your position, you don't want to govern?"
Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh, "This is indeed his style."
He pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said: "Guorang, you go down first... Be prepared in the past few days. This mission to Mobei is of great significance, so you need to be more careful."
"I understand the humble position."
"By the way, I'd like to invite Kimihito to come."
"Here!"
Tian Yu bowed and stepped back. After a while, he saw Dong Zhao hurriedly coming to Cao Cao along the two verandas.
"Sikong called me, what are your instructions?"
"Mirong Ren, are there any vacancies recently?"
"ah?"
Cao Cao pondered for a long time and said softly: "I mean, there may be a vacancy in the lower county."
"Well, there are a few places."
"Come one by one."
"Langya County Shangzhuo, Haiqu and Langya counties are vacated; Donglai County has no vacancies; Runan Anyang County is vacated, as well as Hanoi and Guanzhong. There are a few vacancies each, but most of them are barren lower counties, so they have been transferred to
The Shangshu Mansion will make its own decision."
"Guanzhong, where is the vacancy?"
"There are two places in Youfeng, Duyang and Qixian."
"Immediately send someone to Shangshu Mansion and tell Wen Ruo that County Magistrate Qi will stay temporarily. I have my own arrangements."
Dong Zhao couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, and immediately bowed to obey the order.
However, he couldn't help but ask: "If Ruowenruo asks, how will Zhaodang answer?"
Cao Cao suddenly turned around, a cold light flashed in his eyes. Dong Zhao suddenly trembled in his heart and quickly lowered his head.
He knew that he might have asked something he shouldn't have asked.
Cao Cao suddenly laughed, "Gongren, if Wen Ruo really asks, tell him that I intend to make Zihuan the chief of lacquer."
"ah?"
Dong Zhao was shocked and looked up at Cao Cao.
Qixian is located between Liangzhou and Mobei, the place where the Four Wars were fought. Whenever the Huns attack, they must go to Qixian, which is extremely dangerous. Cao Cao suddenly decided to let Cao Pi serve as the county magistrate of Qixian. What is his purpose?
You know, Cao Pi now has an official salary of 2,000 dan, and his official salary is only 300 dan.
Could it be said that the Lord is dissatisfied with the Crown Prince?
