Autumn Harvest.
This year, Yanzhou welcomed an unprecedented harvest.
Even Xu Zhen himself did not expect that after the implementation of the land distribution system, the people would work so hard to contract their own land. In addition, although there was a drought this year, there was no war.
After this great harvest, the people cheered, the gentry clans were speechless, and the officials heaved a sigh of relief.
As for Cao Cao, he and Governor Zhang Miao counted through the night, listening to reports from various places and counting the total number of granaries.
He had actually harvested a million bushels.
Xu Zhen did a rough calculation. It should be 60,000 tons of grain.
It was simply terrifying.
With such a huge harvest, more than half of it had gone into Cao Cao's granary. If he could use this as a foundation, he could slowly plant the land next year and promote agricultural development in various regions. In less than three years, he would not have to worry about military rations at all.
As long as it wasn't an expedition, it could last for a long time.
Thus, Cao Cao was greatly shocked.
He specially treated Xu Zhen as a distinguished guest and hosted a banquet with Cao Ren and Cao Hong as his guests. He even wrote a letter to Xiahou Dun to rush back from East County to meet him.
After three rounds of drinking, the civil and military officials were harmonious and began to talk about the matters of Xuzhou.
"Don't worry, Big Brother!" Cao Ren's face was red from drinking, and he was already bare-chested. Since it was a family banquet, Cao Cao didn't stick to etiquette, so he allowed him to open his clothes and drink.
At this moment, he waved his hand and continued,"The Tiger Leopard Cavalry that Cao Chun has trained is already equipped with thousands of warhorses, armor, and spears. Moreover, they are all made up of people who are extremely good at riding and archery among the Qingzhou soldiers. This time, we will definitely be able to make contributions in attacking Xu Prefecture. In less than a month, we will be able to break through Xiaopei!”
"Xiao Pei, Xiapi is right in front of us. Tao Qian won't have a good time in Tan County!”
"Hahaha! General, you are so brave!"
Someone shouted and applauded.
On the other hand, Xiahou Dun's eyes were still intact. He stared at Xu Zhen seriously many times. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him. If this person was a general, he would definitely be an extremely refined person.
Unfortunately, he was a strategist and ranked at the bottom.
From the looks of it, he didn't have the talent to govern the country, but he was talented in internal affairs and was also a person worthy of respect.
"Sir, let me have a drink with you. This year's harvest is great. I thank you on behalf of the soldiers!”
Xiahou Dun raised his hand from afar. After waiting for Xu Zhen to turn his head to respond, he smiled and drank it all in one gulp. There was a lot of wine in one cup, enough to fill one and a half bowls. He had also drunk a lot.
A majestic guard beside Xu Zhen gulped.
Xu Zhen also raised his wine cup and returned the gesture with both hands. Then, he closed one eye.
"General, in the army, you will definitely be able to see it clearly in the future!”
Then, he took a sip as well, but before he could finish it, the guard beside him hurriedly said in a low and muffled voice,"Hey, sir, it's disrespectful not to finish it. Why don't I help you drink it?”
Xu Zhen rolled his eyes at him." Bullsh * t, you just want to drink it yourself!"”
Cao Cao laughed out loud. Dian Wei, if you want to drink, drink. Someone, bring another table and cushion, and serve more wine!”
After saying this, he smiled at Xu Zhen and said,""Bowen, it's obvious that this isn't how it's used.”
Xiahou Dun shook his head with a bitter smile. He was a soldier, so he didn't mind.
However, Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai were a little stunned when they heard Xu Zhen's nonsense.
" Hmm…you don't understand." Xu Zhen took another sip, his movements very natural and unrestrained. Then, he stared at Xiahou Dun for a long time before taking out a brocade bag from his bosom and asking Dian Wei to bring it over.
"General Yuan Rang, keep the brocade pouch with you. If you are in danger, you can open it and take a look. Perhaps it will be of help to the situation at that time."”
"Oh?"
Xiahou Dun looked at Xu Zhen suspiciously, but he saw that Xu Zhen was calm and did not have the slightest intention of joking. Thus, he subconsciously looked at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao didn't know what he was up to.
However, he was curious.
"Bowen, do you have any plans?”
Xu Zhen smiled bitterly." I can't tell you. No one will believe me even if I tell you. I can only make some arrangements for the future."”
"This…"
What did he mean by that? Planning for the future?
"Harm, just treat it as a reward. Bowen's achievements are great. Today's grand occasion of one million bushels was also made possible by him alone. Even if such a person is unfathomable and deliberately mystifying, I won't blame him.
In this way, it would allow him to increase his bearing and invisible status. This was not bad. In this way, even if he was ranked last, others would not dare to look down on him too much.
It was a good thing.
Cao Cao's thoughts were simple. He thought that Xu Zhen was using this trick to raise his position among the clan generals, but he did not think too much about it.
Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai looked at each other. The two of them immediately felt that he might be overthinking.
"Hmph, he's just deliberately mystifying."
At this moment, someone in the hall suddenly snorted.
Xu Zhen followed the voice and saw a thin scholar drinking in the middle of the adviser. This person had a knife-like face, a crown hat, and a goatee. His sleeves were rolled up, and he had a proud aura.
Chen Gong.
Chen Gongtai.
After transmigrating, Xu Zhen found out that Chen Gongtai did not leave because Cao Cao killed Lu Boshe.
Instead, he followed Cao Cao all the way to Yanzhou.
The moment Xu Zhen saw Chen Gong at the banquet, he wrote down a brocade bag and carried it to the banquet, preparing to hand it to Xiahou Dun.
Because he remembered something.
If Chen Gong had not left because of Lu Boshe, he would have done something in Yanzhou.
Betrayal.
She did not know if he was good or bad.
However, in the historical introduction, he always liked to betray others…
It felt like…a habitual affair…
He was a very mysterious person, but his appearance undoubtedly reminded Xu Zhen that the next step would be to obtain the credit again.
It was enough to prove that there was definitely something wrong with the ranking on the Heaven Advisor Board!!
