After breakfast the next day, a group of children gathered in front of the city lord's mansion. The city lord asked what was going on, and they said they wanted to practice sumo wrestling with Wu'er. Wu'er listened and went out. With a move to the left and a call to the right, a group of children were divided into two groups and started learning sumo wrestling from Wu'er.
Wu Wang went to the city master to buy a basket, a pitcher and a bucket, and carried them out the door to pick up stones in the field. Yesterday, he figured out which area was to be reclaimed. The south of the city was not burned at all, and it would not be reclaimed into acres! Two timid children followed quietly. Wu Wang said: "Are you willing to work with me to cultivate wasteland?" The two children nodded timidly. Wuwang was very happy that finally someone like him loved farming. He held one by one and headed towards the wasteland that was blackened by fire last night.
Last night, Zheng Anping told him that there might be 400 acres of land, and it was mainly up to his own family to take care of it. The other three families were not very interested in farming. After hearing this, Wuwang was not surprised but happy, and only asked: "Where does what you got go?"
Zheng Anping didn't elaborate, he just said: "Your Majesty will not take a drop from me!"
Wu Wang naturally thought that if you don't take a drop from your Majesty, let alone others, whoever cultivates the land will get the harvest, and he suddenly became interested. After crossing the bridge today, I no longer had to distinguish which piece of land belonged to whose. I took off my shirt, bare my arms, and only covered my lower body with a fig leaf. I asked the other two children to strip off cleanly, and said: "Here The soot is the blackest, and the clothes will be naked, and the clothes will be hard to save." He handed the basket to the two children and said, "But follow my way, if there are any stones, pick them up in the basket." Then water them directly and loosen them on the edge of the field. Earth comes.
After dinner, Cao Bao went out for a walk and saw Wu'er teaching sumo wrestling. After watching for a while, he left. After leaving the city gate, I saw someone cultivating land on the opposite side. I hurried over and found that it was Wuwang who had already cultivated a large ridge. He was so anxious that he kept shouting: "Stay here, stay here, the land may be used for other purposes than to exhaust the acres." Wu Wang was so angry that he almost cried.
Cao Bao coaxed and persuaded Wu Wang and the other three to put on their clothes and led him back to the city. He assured him that he would complete the plan today, and only then did Wu Wang stop his sorrow.
Cao Bao returned to the palace of the city lord and said to Zheng Anping: "Wu Wang and Wu'er are both diligent in the king's affairs and are the first for us. It is not something to be blamed. I wish to go to the mine field immediately."
Zheng Anping looked at Wuwang with a dark face and Wu'er covered in mud, and he also smiled. They all responded in unison and immediately went to divide the fields. Cao Bao asked Wuwang and Wuer to lead the group of children to help.
This group of people crossed the river from the small bridge on the abandoned city side, entered the abandoned city first, and greeted Mr. Lu who had already entered the abandoned city. Mr. Lu said sternly: "If the wild fire reaches the log, it will definitely take your head!" Cao Bao clasped his fists and bowed, saying that he did not dare. Then he asked Mr. Lu for the rope with a smile on his face. Mr. Lu wanted to be patient, but couldn't bear Cao Bao's insistence, so he had to send a gentleman to help Cao Bao measure the land.
The group of people all stripped naked and entered the wasteland covered with plant ash. Under the command of that gentleman, it took a whole day to finally complete the plan for the wasteland in the east of the city. The group of people squatted by the river, washed their hands, feet, face and body, returned to the abandoned city, said goodbye to Mr. Lu, got dressed and returned to the city.
Cao Bao said to Wu Wang: "Do you know where the land is? It can be cultivated in a day." Wu Wang nodded excitedly. He no longer had to worry about his labor being in vain.
In the next few days, Wu Wang took his friends to cultivate wasteland every day. Zheng Anping, Brother Su and Brother Quan also came to help from time to time. Zheng Anping also asked the city lord to help him find out where he could make iron grass nearby. At present, I can only borrow the money from the city lord.
In order to demonstrate to the people in Guanyi City, at Cao Bao's suggestion, the group deliberately concentrated on reclaiming new acres of land on the side of the river near Guanyi. After several days of hard work, four square fields of 100 acres began to take shape.
As time went by, fewer and fewer people practiced sumo wrestling with Wu'er, while two more people followed Wu Wang to cultivate land. The mothers of their children in Guanyi encouraged their children to follow Wu Wang to cultivate land instead of following Wu'er to learn wrestling and tear their clothes.
The city lord told Zheng Anping that Zhan San had finally returned home and he could be summoned whenever he had time. Zheng Anping discussed it with a few people and replied: "We will see you someday."
Since Cao Bao came from a rough background and knew how to deal with rough heroes, it was decided that Cao Bao would be the host of tomorrow's talks. Cao Bao thought for a while and agreed.
The next day, the city lord went out to invite Zosan, and Zheng Anping and five others stood waiting outside the city gate. After a while, the city lord brought Zosan to the gate of the city, and Zheng Anping stepped forward to pay homage.
Seeing Zheng Anping being welcomed out of the city gate, Zhan San was obviously surprised and responded: "How dare I bother all the officials to welcome me from afar!"
Zheng Anping said: "The city lord strongly recommends that the heroes from all over the country are none other than the third brother, so we should welcome him!"
Zhan San said: "How can I, a humble commoner, dare to ask the city lord for a favor?"
The city lord said: "There may be a crisis in the four villages, and we have to rely on Brother Zhi. It is not an accident."
Everyone let Zou San go in front, entered the city, entered the city lord's mansion, and boarded the lobby. Naturally, Zheng Anping and five other people sat in the host room, while Zhan San sat in the teacher's seat. The city lord hurriedly brought water and fruits, and then sat down under the three shoulders of the pig.
As soon as the gossip was over, Cao Bao turned to the main topic and said: "My brother has been ordered by the king to serve as the governor of Guanyi. I admire the heroes in the city, so I paid a visit. I am a young man with little virtue and incompetence. I only hope that my brother can help me!" "
Zhi San said: "I would like to hear your aspirations, brothers."
Cao Bao said: "The key to governing a country is the people. The key to governing the people is to ensure peace. My brother, I heard that thieves have sprung up in Guanyi. They are everywhere. I would like to hear the way to peace."
Zhi San said: "That's easy. I am a butcher, and I often know the leader of thieves. If he wants something, my brother will satisfy me, and I will not commit any crime."
These words made the expressions of the four people in the seat change greatly, but Cao Bao's expression remained unchanged and said: "If you are a righteous person, then it doesn't matter. If you are unjust, your desires will be hard to satisfy, what can you do?"
Zhi San said: "If you are unjust, I will not dare to do what you want."
Cao Bao looked at the four of them, who nodded slightly. Cao Bao said, "It's all thanks to Brother Pig. I dare to ask Brother Pig, how much does a thief pay per year for justice?"
Zhi San said: "Don't dare to do it too often. One year old, four knots, two to two cents. Each one gets one millet times twenty-five shi. There are a few of them, but they are no more than ten shi per year."
Cao Bao said: "One robber, or a group of robbers?"
Zhisan said: "I don't know how many there are, but what I know is all here."
Cao Bao said: "What can we do if we come back?"
Zhi San said: "If it is divided into two or two, and the supply is sufficient, brothers will not see the thieves. If there are remaining thieves who are disobedient and commit unjust acts, if the younger brother finds out, he will be punished. If the older brother is killed, he can blame the younger brother for what he did." "
Cao Bao said: "If that's true, then Brother Pig will have to work hard! Maybe there are thieves who commit injustice, and Si Nai orders the thieves to be arrested. What can I do?"
Shansan said: "Brother, let me decide!"
Cao Bao praised: "Brother, this is a great righteousness!" He replied: "Brother, if you have someone in charge, you must set up a post in the city to communicate news. It is your order, and I hope that there will be five people who are quick and quick in the local area to fill it." We will fight for food every day and return home in ten days. Brother, do you have any recommendations?"
Zhi San said: "In terms of quickness of body and quickness of steps, all of us are worthy of him, but we can't leave him for a moment, and we dare not recommend him. If I allow my brother to visit him slowly, I will definitely find him."
Cao Bao said: "Brother Xi and the city lord are here to visit. If we find him, we will express our deepest thanks! - Be careful not to recommend these bandits, they will cause endless harm!"
Both Zhan San and the city lord said: "Here you go!"
Cao Bao said: "I should also set up a carriage house in the city. If my brother can find it convenient, I can recommend his customers. I will not dare to make extravagant profits at high prices!"
Zhisan said: "I wonder who the owner of the car dealership is?"
Cao Bao said, "I'm asking Uncle Tang from Xingyang to take charge of the matter!"
Shan San said: "Uncle Tang in Xingyang, his reputation is known far and wide. If he is the master, he will be able to travel around the world without making any mistakes."
Cao Bao said: "Brother Swine also knows Uncle Tang?"
Zhi San said: "But I have heard that I have not seen him. If Uncle Tang comes in person and is willing to tell him, I will go and pay my respects!"
The conversation between the two parties gradually became more serious. Seeing Cao Bao's reckless behavior, Zhan San gradually let go of his restraint and began to express his feelings directly. From time to time, he broke out some foul language, and everyone laughed it off. Seeing that he was getting more interested, Cao Bao said: "Brother Swine and I share the same friendship, why don't we make an oath of sworn sworn friendship and trust us for life and death!"
The city lord said: "This is a great discussion, I will set up an altar and swear to it."
Cao Bao said: "There is no need for the city lord to set up an altar. If there is wine in the hall, let's make an oath in front of the hall. What can I do?"
Zheng Anping said, "I'll take his halberd." He went down to the side room, took his own halberd and went up to the hall. Cao Bao and Zhang San had already opened the wine jar in the hall and scooped out a bowl of sake. After Zheng Anping came to the court, the three of them ranked their ages. Zheng Anping was the eldest, so he took the lead and cut his own finger, dripping blood into the wine bowl, and handed the halberd to Cao Bao; Cao Bao and Jisan slashed their fingers in turn, dripping blood. In the wine bowl. The three of them each held the bowl with one hand and swore: "We, Zheng Anping/Cao Bao/Zhao San, are in love with each other. We are willing to marry each other through life and death. We swear not to betray each other. The gods of heaven and earth have learned from each other. If you violate this statement, , God will punish you!" The three men picked up the wine bowls in sequence, each took a big sip, and then smashed the wine bowls and the remaining wine in front of the hall. Wuwang and Wuer were so shocked that they both went out to see them. Zheng Anping hinted that they were fine and should go back to their rooms quickly.
The city lord clapped his hands and said: "Both Guan Ling and the Prime Minister are sworn sworn brothers to Brother Pig. Although the rest of us are not sworn sworn brothers, we should do our best to show our sincerity!"
Zhi San said: "The words of the city lord are exactly what I want. I hope brothers will not see it outside."
Cao Bao said: "I have the help of Brother Pig, which is enough for my wish. If I can make friends with all the strong men again, what else can I ask for!"
Hearing that he wanted to make friends with the strong men, Zhi San said: "Although I know the bandit leaders and trust them, I am one of them. However, officials and thieves are different, so I dare not invite them to meet, for fear of being suspected. Ben Shiye."
Cao Baodao said: "This is not what I said, brother, I also know it. When I first took office, I had no faith in managing the people, how could I dare to trade! Brother, please observe my words and deeds, as well as the behavior of other brothers, but if there are any mistakes, don't Be stingy about teaching him.”
Zhi San said: "Brother, how dare you? The Lord of the City is fully aware of what all the brothers have done."
The city lord said: "The princes have not touched a drop of the governorship, and they have assisted in the sacrifices and meetings. Their actions are in accordance with the law. The governors and people are all aware of his virtues and are willing to serve!"
