"Qi...qi reports to the big...general, the little...little man knows the situation, so why not...let the little man report it."
The young man stammered.
"Who are you?"
Cao Tai stared at the young man and asked.
"Reporting to the young master, he was originally a farmer, but the lower official saw that he had studied since he was a child and had some talent, so he was appointed as a minor official."
Cai Kun quickly explained.
In addition to soldiers in the army, the army also recruits people to farm, which are called Mintun.
Previously, Yang Ling forcibly relocated all the people around Nanyang.
Many of them were settled nearby in Duyang and became farmers.
"Aren't you just kidding?!"
It was fine that Cai Kun couldn't answer in front of Yang Ling before, but now he actually found a young man from a farm village who stuttered as a clerk, and asked him to report the situation to Yang Ling? !
Cao Ren's face was extremely gloomy.
If Yang Ling hadn't been at the scene, he would have wanted to go up and give Cai Kun a big mouth!
Cai Kun hesitated for a moment and then said honestly,
"The general and General Zixiao don't know each other. Although this young man has a stutter, he is actually very capable."
"After Xiaguan handed over the farmland to him, he took care of it in an orderly manner, so Xiaguan was a little slack."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was slightly startled.
Is this young man taking care of the farmland that Cai Kun is responsible for?
Yang Ling looked at the young man next to Cai Kun and said with interest,
"Since you are responsible for taking care of it, it's up to you to report the situation."
"Little man...obey...obey!"
The young man accepted the offer and told Yang Ling and Cao Ren exactly how many acres of farmland there were, how much the annual output was, and how many soldiers and farmers were responsible for farming.
Although he stuttered when speaking, the content was detailed and clear.
After hearing this, Yang Ling and others showed approval on their faces.
Despite his young age, this young man is so capable. He can still keep his face straight when facing a group of generals in the army.
Such courage is truly commendable.
With this thought in Yang Ling's mind, she couldn't help but love talents.
"May I have your name?"
"If I return to the general, my name is Deng Fan."
The young man said respectfully.
Deng Fan?
Yang Ling frowned slightly, feeling that the name sounded familiar.
But there is no one named Deng Fan in the official history and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
While he was thinking hard, an idea flashed across his mind.
This young man is Deng Ai!
Speaking of Jiang Wei's nemesis, it is naturally the famous Deng Ai!
The two sides fought several times, and Deng Ai almost always had the upper hand and never lost.
In the end, he even sneaked into Yinping and conquered Shu in one fell swoop!
Deng Ai was originally from Nanyang, but was brought to Duyang by Yang Ling's last relocation policy, and accidentally became a farmer.
As for the name, his original name was Deng Fan, but he had the same name as a member of the clan, and he changed his name at the end.
No wonder Yang Ling felt familiar at first, but couldn't remember who he was!
After finding out Deng Fan's true identity, Yang Ling's heart immediately became hot.
Deng Ai and Jiang Wei can be said to be the twin stars of the post-Three Kingdoms period. The two of them held up half of the sky of Wei and Shu respectively!
Now that Jiang Wei has become his student, and he happened to meet Deng Ai, why not take him under his command?
Thinking of this, Yang Ling couldn't help but smile and said,
"Deng Fan is so talented. To serve as a mere petty official would be an injustice to your talent."
"If you are willing, you might as well become my teacher, how about that?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this!
No one thought that when Yang Ling met Deng Fan for the first time, he would accept this young man from a humble background and stuttering as his student!
"me……"
Deng Fan's face turned red with excitement and he stuttered even more when he spoke.
"The villain... comes from a humble background, and is only... afraid that he will dishonor... the General's... reputation!"
"wrong!"
Yang Ling shook his head and taught earnestly,
"Being humble is not a shame. A husband who can bend and stretch is a man! Do you understand?"
Hearing Yang Ling's words, Deng Fan seemed to have infinite power.
He no longer hesitated and knelt down directly towards Yang Ling, and he no longer stuttered when he spoke.
"I understand! I am willing to become my disciple, the general!"
"Very good! You should get up first!"
Yang Ling smiled and helped Deng Fan up, looking him up and down.
Looking at Deng Fan with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a resolute face, Yang Ling really liked him more and more.
"This time Deng Fan has made a contribution to helping the imperial court farm. What reward do you want?"
"Being able to become a disciple of a general is the best reward. Students dare not have any other plans."
Deng Fan said in fear.
Yang Ling smiled slightly,
"I don't like the name Deng Fan very much. How about I give you another name and reward you with a font name?"
"There is someone in the student's clan who has the same name as the student, and the student originally wanted to change his name."
Deng Fan said happily,
"Nowadays, teachers are willing to give names to students, which is most appropriate."
"Okay. In that case, from now on, your name will be Deng Ai, with the courtesy name Shizai. How about that?"
Yang Ling said with a smile.
"Deng Ai? Shi Zai?"
Deng Fan murmured and repeated the words and numbers given by Yang Ling.
"Shizai, please thank your teacher quickly."
Cao Ren on the side chuckled and said,
"Not everyone can be awarded a title by the general. You are the second person in the world who can have this honor!"
Deng Fan, oh no, should be called Deng Ai now.
He quickly bowed his hands and said respectfully,
"Student, thank you teacher for the font size!"
The Diannong Captain Cai Kun and others on the side looked at Deng Ai, and their eyes were filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.
No one thought that Deng Ai, a peasant from a poor background, could become a disciple of the famous Yang Ling!
What awaits Deng Ai in the future will definitely be a meteoric rise!
"Boyo!"
Yang Ling turned around and shouted, and Jiang Wei slowly stepped forward from behind.
"Shizai, this is Jiang Wei, another student of our teacher, named Boyue."
"You two are both my students, so please arrange your seats according to your age."
Deng Ai was several years older than Jiang Wei. Hearing Yang Ling's words, he also greeted Jiang Wei in a friendly way.
"Meet...junior brother."
But Jiang Wei did not respond, but snorted coldly,
"You only know how to farm, how can you be qualified to be my senior brother?"
Although he is young and mature, he is still a childish boy after all.
Seeing that Deng Ai had become his senior brother by farming, he was somewhat unconvinced.
"Who... who told you, junior brother, that I... I only know how to farm?"
Deng Ai noticed Jiang Wei's hostility towards him and responded unceremoniously.
Seeing this situation, Yang Ling couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Wei and Deng Ai started fighting each other the first time they met. It seems that they are really natural enemies!
