In Pingyuan City, he has been regarded as the supreme governor. No matter who he meets when walking on the street, he must be respected as Mr. Cai.
Cai Yong does not enjoy the extraordinary feeling of being infatuated and being respected everywhere.
As a famous scholar in the world, he can completely look down upon the ministers and walk freely in the temples and palaces. He would not be so superficial as to pretend to be a master in a small plain city.
Mr. Cai's leisureliness mainly lies in his mood.
His temperament has always been stubborn. Otherwise, Dong Zhuo would not have been reviled by the whole world after his defeat and death. However, Cai Yong was grateful for Dong Zhuo's respect for him and shed tears for him in the end.
This led to death.
Therefore, Cai Yong never thought there was anything wrong with his daughter Cai Yan marrying Lin Feng as his left wife.
The reason why Cai Yong refused to let go was just because he thought that Lin Feng was a little neglectful towards him and had never come to ask for a hand in marriage. If he really agreed to his daughter's request for marriage, wouldn't it mean that the Cai family's women were too worthless?
But after arriving in Pingyuan, Mr. Cai became more and more interested in Lin Feng.
Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai were in charge of Pingyuan's government affairs. Mr. Cai naturally couldn't find any fault. He was interested in Lin Feng purely because of Pingyuan City's attitude towards the common people.
From the moment he took control of Pingyuan City, Lin Feng instilled a theme into Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai.
The main financial source of the government should not be placed on farmers. The financial resources that can truly support a political power can only be merchants and cargo owners traveling across the country.
The rapid rise of Pingyuan City is truly inseparable from this central idea proposed by Lin Feng.
Xun Yu was surprised to find that Lin Feng was not only an invincible general on the battlefield, but also a master of governance with a bright mind.
Lin Feng's policy of lowering agricultural taxes caused refugees from nearby Jizhou to flock to Pingyuan City in large numbers. Pingyuan City was not far from Julu and was in the midst of the most prosperous Yellow Turban Rebellion. Many local fields were already ownerless and should have been reclaimed.
In the hands of the city lord and all the powerful men in the city, Lin Feng ordered it to be sold at a low price to the refugees who were the first to rely on it.
As a result, the refugees who gathered in the plain became more and more enthusiastic, causing the population of the plain to expand rapidly.
With the population comes the army. Lin Feng established six battalions in one go, and his confidence came from this.
In addition to the original five battalions, another Cizi battalion has just been added, with a total strength of one hundred thousand.
With the addition of 20,000 new troops, the training and morale of the Pingyuan Army has dropped again, but Lin Feng is not in a hurry. He has as many as six generals with a command value of 80+ under his command. They will train in turns. In two months at most, the Pingyuan Army can be
Reborn and become the world's most powerful army.
Since Cai Yong waited and waited until Lin Feng took the initiative to see him, he simply went to find Lin Feng again with a walking stick.
Not to beat anyone, I just want to have an in-depth conversation with Lin Feng to see what kind of character my son-in-law is, and how he can be so obsessed with his daughter who has always been so arrogant that she would rather marry Lin Feng than become his wife.
Lin Feng had just walked out of the palace and was about to go to the military camp outside the city. Although he was not good at training soldiers, as the commander of an army, he often appeared on the training ground, which was good for the growth of morale.
Cai Yong did not expect to meet Lin Feng at the door of the house. After being stunned for a moment, he picked up his walking stick and pointed at Lin Feng, turned around and left.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, waved his hand to Pei Yuanshao behind him, signaling him not to come close, and then silently followed Cai Yong, slowly walking forward with the old man.
The two of them came to a lively tavern, and Cai Yong stepped in. Lin Feng turned around and glared at Pei Yuanshao, who was following him from a distance, then turned and followed.
When the waiter saw a customer coming in, he quickly came up to greet him with a smile on his face, nodded and bowed to greet Cai Yong.
"Old man, you're here to take care of my business again. The shopkeeper has said it several times. If you hadn't come to support me often, my little tavern would really not be able to keep running."
Lin Feng looked around. The tavern was bustling with people, and the tables were full. The aisle was so narrow that only one person could pass by. If there were so many customers, there really weren't many restaurants in the world that could survive.
Of course, it is understandable for the waiter to exaggerate. If he doesn't take pictures of the customers, he will feel comfortable. If he doesn't come next time, the store will lose income, and the wages paid to him will be reduced accordingly, right?
Mr. Cai raised his cane and pointed to the second floor: "Old rules, the second floor is elegant, a pot of your signature old pot, two cold, two hot and four dishes. You guys watch it."
"Okay, please pay attention to the reception upstairs. You two old guests, get ready in the private room by the window facing the street!"
After Lin Feng sat down opposite him, Mr. Cai struck the ground with his cane and asked with a cold face: "Boy, I want to ask you something, and you have to answer me honestly."
Lin Feng was quite frightened. This is probably the case for all new sons-in-law and father-in-laws when they eat for the first time.
"You said it, I'm listening."
"Boy, now that the world is raging with war, the majesty of the royal family has been wiped out, and all the ministers in the court have their own agendas, you are sitting in the plains with a heavy army, how will you deal with yourself in the future?"
Lin Feng raised his head in astonishment upon hearing this, staring blankly into Old Man Cai's eyes.
Walter, what are you doing with oil?
Shouldn't we talk about when Yan'er came to the house?
Why did it suddenly turn into a discussion about the future direction of government affairs?
You, an old literary young man with no official position and no job, think about these issues, and his style of painting seems inconsistent!
Could it be that the old man was driven crazy by his daughter and his character collapsed?
In fact, Lin Feng is very
Clearly, Cai Yong sensed that troubled times were coming, and was asking about Lin Feng's attitude towards life.
"Without others, I can only protect myself."
When talking to your family members, there is no need to mince words or hide things. Telling the truth is the best solution.
This is also Lin Feng’s innermost thoughts.
When he first traveled through time, his ideal was to hug a thigh and live a life of a pig, surrounded by beautiful people and beautiful people.
As the number of followers around him increased and his strength gradually increased, Lin Feng's ambitions continued to expand, and for a while he even had the idea of dominating the world.
But the job of dominating the world is not something that anyone can do. After Lin Feng tried to deal with endless military affairs in Luoyang West Garden, he had long forgotten the idea of dominating the world.
A cow with 20 acres of land, a wife and children on the hot bed. Although this kind of small farmer life is not in Lin Feng's eyes, the life of a beautiful wife, a beautiful concubine, a safe, happy, disease-free and carefree life, which is like a god and an immortal, is still something that people look forward to.
of.
After hearing Lin Feng's answer, Cai Yong stared at him silently for a long time. Suddenly he looked up to the sky and let out a long laugh. He stood up and said word by word: "Remember what you said today, tomorrow you will send three reds and nine gifts to my Cai family.
I will choose a day to send Yan'er to the Lin family in person. Also, tomorrow someone will arrange a less tiring position for me. Although the Cai family is not a wealthy family, there is no family motto of waiting to die."
After saying that, Old Master Cai walked away, leaving Lin Feng, who was left with a smile on his eyes and brows, letting out a sigh of relief.
It's not easy. I finally got rid of Old Man Cai.
As long as the grape trellis at home does not collapse, there is no need to worry about these farmers in Jizhou. Dealing with them is just a trivial matter.
With the addition of Cai Yong, the government affairs work in Pingyuan became more orderly. Lin Feng could finally go to Julu with peace of mind and start his long-planned work of Dancing Little Hoe.
Through inquiries in the game, Lin Feng has basically grasped the specific location of this trip's target.
Although Wen Chou had already served as the captain of the unified military in Qinghe City, he and Yan Liang were sworn brothers, so there was no need for Lin Feng to invite him. If Yan Liang sent a secret letter, Wen Chou would come to join him.
Both Zhang He and Gao Lan were junior high schools in the military. Zhang He served as the Sima of the cavalry army in Guangchang City, and Gao Lan also served as the Sima of the army in Nanpi City. It should not be difficult to recruit them.
What is more difficult is that neither of the two counselors, Tian Feng and Jushu, are idle at home at this time, and both have official positions.
Tian Feng had not yet made a fortune at this time. He only enjoyed a certain degree of fame and had not yet shown the ability to be a top schemer. Therefore, his official position was not high and he only held the post of district censor in Julu City. However, due to his upright character, he would not
Qu wanted to please his superiors, so his official career was not smooth.
Jushu showed his talents and served as Jizhou Mubiejiao beside Han Fu. Although his official position was small but his position was prominent, he followed Han Fu throughout the day and was an indispensable confidant.
