"What are you doing?"
Dian Wei sat up and rubbed his eyes.
Then, she immediately saw Xu Zhen's gaze become rather strange. He was smiling sinisterly. It was obvious that it was not a good thing.
"Our reputation in Yanzhou has risen rapidly. Our lord has even secured the position of the herdsman of Yanzhou. Moreover, after this year's harvest, there are plenty of rations and the people are living in peace.”
"In this case, will the population increase?”
"That's for sure."
Dian Wei nodded.
Then, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said," By the way, a few days ago, Wang Meng and the others went out to inquire about the news. They said that Cai Yong died in Chang 'an and his daughter is in exile with her family property. I'm afraid she's coming to us..."
"From Chang 'an to the east, other than Yuzhou and Yanzhou, we can only go north from Bingzhou to Jizhou. However, these two places are not stable yet. If these aristocratic families want stability, they can only come to Yanzhou.”
Xu Zhen leaned back. She was Cai Yong's daughter.
Do it?
Listen to what you're saying. Is this human language?
"What do I want a woman for? I told you to gather information, and this is all you got?”
Dian Wei stood up and ate a piece of meat. He looked rather puzzled." What else could it be, Black Mountain Thief?" Mount Tai bandits?"
"Mount Tai is too far away from us.”
"Then why don't we go to a place not far from Mount Tai? Are you interested?"
Xu Zhen raised his eyebrows, causing Dian Wei to nod his head in confusion.
"Sure, as long as there are benefits, we can go.”
In any case, his general was like this. He wouldn't wake up early if there was no benefit. How could he do something that didn't benefit him?
……
After the autumn harvest, a large amount of grain was returned to the granary.
Then, it rained continuously.
However, for the commoners, the rain was no longer a disaster. Every household had surplus grain stored, and more and more people were working in Sangmo.
Every day, the number of commoners in Chenliu and the number of merchants entering Chenliu were ten times more than before.
Similarly, there were also poor families and white-bodied scholars from all over the world who came to Chenliu, Juancheng, and other places to study and live, praying for a place to avoid disaster.
The houses and wooden houses that were originally dilapidated were now brand new.
On the streets, a carriage entered the city and headed towards the inner city. Behind this carriage were three other wagons, covered with a layer of coarse linen to hide the goods inside.
If someone saw what was inside, they would probably try to snatch it.
Those were not gold or silk, but books.
Inside the carriage was Cai Yong's daughter, Cai Yan.
The word Zhao Ji.
Cai Zhaoji had escaped from Chang 'an and had received help from many of her father's former friends, all of whom had advised her to either go to Jizhou and join Yuan Shao.
Or go to Yanzhou to join Cao Cao.
Because Cao Cao had once respected Cai Yong greatly and had the friendship of a disciple, Cai Yan decided to come all the way east to Yanzhou to seek refuge with Cao Cao and see if he could settle down.
A woman brought three to five maidservants and eight servants to Chenliu, Yanzhou. Today, she would be able to see Cao Cao.
If everything went well, she might be able to work for him.
Inside the carriage.
The red-robed woman tightened her clothes, and her thin face looked rather desolate.
Looking out of the window, he saw commoners setting up stalls to sell their wares on both sides of the road. The steam was rising continuously in the form of white fog, making it extremely lively.
The soldiers patrolling the streets maintained order and peace.
"It seems like the rumors are true. Yanzhou is really stable now.”
"That's right, miss. I also heard that the general under Cao Gong led fifty cavalry to charge into Yu Du's camp and kill him!”
"Miss, this is a real hero!"
"Moreover, he was the one who came up with the plan to settle the 300,000 surrendered soldiers!”
"Miss!"
" Sweep away the vulgar, stop reciting." The woman in red smiled gently." I'm tired of your recitation."”
"Oh…"
The servant girl called Sweeping Vulgarities stuck out her tongue and immediately shut her mouth.
Along the way, these nosy maidservants were different from ordinary women.
Because he had been taking care of the young miss in the manor all year round, he had a more romantic personality. He did not dare to go out of Yanzhou, but when he arrived in the territory, he found that the bandits seemed to have disappeared. The merchants and pedestrians on the road had a new look.
Therefore, he dared to go out and ask a few questions. After a while, he actually dared to ask about things.
After hearing the story of how the bandits were exterminated in Yanzhou, the maidservants became the fangirls of General Xu.
Along the way, they talked about how brave he was, and of course, there were also a few words of respect for Cao Gong.
After all, in the entire Great Han Dynasty, the bandits in Yanzhou had caused the most trouble in the past year. All the Yellow Turban cultivators who had poured in from Qing and Xu had fled to Yanzhou.
There were a million people with their families.
They had all been subdued, and now, they were even managed to look brand new. Although it was not as glorious as when the Great Han Dynasty was at its peak, the houses were magnificent and the buildings were magnificent.
But to be able to settle down was admirable enough.
"Miss, we're almost there. The inner city gate is just ahead.”
Sweep the Vulgar stuck his head out to take a look and saw that there were already guards of honor waiting at the entrance.
Hearing these words, Cai Yan's heart also calmed down, muttering to himself,"Finally, I can live a good life.”
She was intelligent and gentle.
Moreover, he had read more books than most scholars. His talent was so high that many great scholars might sigh that they were inferior.
Therefore, how could he not understand? Now that Cao Cao had just pacified Yanzhou, he naturally wanted to open up more channels and recruit talents to strengthen himself.
As Cai Yan was Cai Yong's daughter and had escaped from Chang 'an, if Cao Cao welcomed her in a high-profile manner, it would be a good show for the fleeing Confucian scholars.
To show the gentry.
Even if they didn't have such intentions in their hearts, they would definitely decorate it very well.
As long as he did not cause trouble in Yanzhou, he could temporarily rely on Cao Gong and live a safe life.
However, he had to lower his head at any time.
Sigh…
Children in troubled times had many difficulties in their lives. They only wished that the 4,000 books left behind by their father could be preserved. They were the blood and sweat of a lifetime.
……
In the government office.
Cao Cao pulled Xun Yu along the long corridor in the front yard, grinning from ear to ear.
"Xu Chu is really brave!"
"Zixiao, Zihe, the two of them could barely fight him. If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't fight to the death, it would have been even more difficult.”
"Wen Ruo, I really got a treasure this time!”
" Hehehe…" Xun Yu also smiled and cupped his hands at Cao Cao." Congratulations, my lord. These Xu brothers are both valiant generals and Tiger Guards. They are getting stronger and stronger day by day."”
"Hahaha! Aiya, thanks to Yi Feng, I'm really strong now!”
"In this way, my lord can protect him.”
The two of them turned into the corridor and walked down the stairs. They hurried all the way, preparing to go out of the government office to welcome them.
After taking a few steps, Cao Cao's expression changed slightly.
"Mm, I actually want to reward you again for such a great contribution.”
"Wen Ruo, what do you think about…letting Yi Feng marry the daughter of a famous person?”
Xun Yu suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Daughter of a famous scholar…
Didn't this mean…
