Boating on the lake.
Watch fish, feed fish, and go fishing.
The little life was very leisurely.
At noon, Yuan Ke grilled the fish himself.
He also asked people to prepare white rice.
"Husband, the fish you grilled is so delicious."
After the outing, Yuan Ke stayed overnight in Wang Lan's room. After the two had an intimate relationship, he was moved by emotion and reasoned with him, and comforted the aggrieved Wang Lan.
"Husband, thank you."
Wang Lan crawled into Yuan Ke's arms and said lovingly.
She understood that Yuan Ke tried every means to please her and comfort her tonight because he cared about her.
As the Great Sima who controlled the world's troops, Yuan Ke had immense power. If he didn't care about her, there would be no need to try so hard to please her.
She felt very lucky.
"It's the slave's fault today. I promise not to interfere in political affairs in the future. I am only responsible for being as beautiful as a flower, caring for my husband and raising children."
She assured delicately.
"Okay, my husband will understand that my Lan'er is the most sensible girl in the world."
Yuan Ke gently kissed the other person's forehead.
"Being able to marry you as my husband is the greatest happiness in my life."
He coaxed the beauty in his arms without hesitation.
"Husband, you are so kind."
Beautiful lies are the mediator of harmony between husband and wife.
After a while of sweet words, Yuan Ke used some tricks to coax Wang Lan's flowers to tremble, and her laughter could not stop, but she still had the previous unhappiness.
.......
Henan Yin and Chen Gong are not sleeping yet.
After he took office, he was responsible for the agricultural affairs of Henan County.
Within a week, under his personal supervision, the farming tasks in Henan County were successfully completed.
"Thirty-seven waterwheels, fifteen canals, and twenty thousand cattle..."
He reviewed the documents sent from various counties overnight.
After that, the official seal is added.
He also asked people to send these documents to various counties in Henan County overnight, asking them to seize the time to build these supporting water conservancy facilities so that they can be used to irrigate the fields and increase production.
"Sir, it's late at night, it's time for you to rest."
"Your injuries haven't healed yet."
Jiao Tu, the master of Henan Yin Yamen, saw that the time was already three o'clock, and couldn't help but persuade him.
"Old Jiao, go to sleep. There are five more documents. I will go to bed after reviewing these documents. Now is the busy farming season. These documents are related to farming, so we cannot neglect them."
Chen Gong is a workaholic.
He is good at internal affairs.
Before, he was just a county magistrate, governing Pingyin County. Now, he is Henan Yin, managing a county, and he has great responsibilities.
He was finally able to realize his ambition in life.
After a period of contact, he found that Yuan Ke had the legacy of the great ancestor, knowing people well and appointing people on their merits. He had offended Yuan Ke before, but Yuan Ke did not kill him and entrusted him with the important task of running Henan County. It is rare in these troubled times to be patient.
Yuan Ke suppressed the powerful gentry, paid attention to people's livelihood, and understood the importance of recuperation. Now, facing the chaos of the world, he did not rush to send troops for conquest. Instead, he advocated the policy of "accumulating grain widely, building walls high, and slowly becoming king". Now , in Bingzhou, Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, the policy of focusing on agriculture and mulberry and light taxation was implemented to restore people's livelihood and strength and strengthen themselves.
At least for now, the lives of ordinary people in places such as Chang'an, Bingzhou, and Luoyang are very stable. They have food to eat, land to farm, and cattle and horses to feed. Everyone's life is getting more and more promising.
Chen Gong felt particularly comfortable working with Yuan Ke.
"Lao Jiao, what do you think of Da Sima?"
he asks.
"Sir, you are asking this question. Of course Da Sima is a good person."
Jiao Tu was a master and understood that trouble comes from words, so he did not speak ill of Yuan Ke.
"Good man? Lao Jiao, can Da Sima be described as this good man? How is he doing? He killed Dong Zhuo and replaced him. He was also good at killing courtiers, eliminating dissidents, controlling military power, and dominating an area."
"Can a person like him be called a [good person]?"
Chen Gong put down the pen in his hand and couldn't help but refute.
"Sir, what you said is wrong. In fact, for us common people, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor. As long as there is no war, everyone has a way to survive, a hope in life, food to eat, and a wife to warm the bed."
"Although the Han Dynasty was orthodox, they imposed exorbitant taxes and became rife with corruption. The common people had no way to survive."
"You are also from an aristocratic family, and you also understand how the wealth of the aristocratic family comes from? Our people's livelihood is gone, our fields are gone, our houses are gone, and in the end, even our wives and daughters belong to others."
"You said that when today brings this kind of life to the people, who will support him wholeheartedly?"
"Nowadays, Da Sima is in sole control and dominates the country. However, Da Sima does not bully us common people. He distributes land, houses, seeds and money to us common people, so that we have a way to live."
"Da Sima has a bad reputation, but he actually does good things for us."
"If we were given a choice, we would certainly want Da Sima to be in charge of power."
Although Jiao Tu's words were partly flattering, the other seven points were from the bottom of his heart.
"..."
Chen Gong didn't say anything. He raised his hand to let Jiao Yu leave, and naturally continued to review the documents.
What Master Jiao Tu said just now touched him deeply. He shouted to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic every day, but he never thought about the livelihood of the people at the bottom.
As a son of an aristocratic family, he relied on his family connections to become a benevolent official, serving as a small county magistrate. But at least he had enough food and clothing, and no need to pay taxes. He also had a salary and land. In troubled times, he still had nothing to worry about. food and clothing.
The Yellow Turbans rebelled before, and the imperial court issued an edict to quell the rebellion, but no one paid attention to why the people rebelled?
Everything may be just like what the master said just now: the common people have no way to survive.
"Can Yuan Ke end this troubled times and bring a good life to the people?"
He couldn't help but ask himself.
It is said that Sun Jian, his son, generals and others were imprisoned that day and were about to be taken to Chang'an for trial. Later, they found an opportunity and ran away.
Later, he accidentally discovered the imperial seal in a well.
Sun Jian immediately left Luoyang along the waterway with the jade seal in his arms. He used the waterway to avoid the eyes of all parties and came to Shiyan Town, Jiangxia County.
On a large ship, Sun Jian gently pressed the jade seal in his arms, extremely excited.
Now, he plans to return to Changsha.
Although Changsha is now in the hands of Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu's headquarters is in Nanyang County. He only has a small number of troops stationed in Changsha County now, and Liu Biao also started a war with him.
At this time, Sun Jian also had the best chance to regain Changsha.
He has been running Changsha for many years, and his power in Changsha County is not weak. As long as he returns to Changsha County, he will be sure to take back Changsha.
He now has no military power, and only by returning to Changsha can he have a chance to make a comeback.
"Father, you cannot take this jade seal."
Sun Quan couldn't help but persuade him.
"Why?"
When Sun Jian heard this, he couldn't help but ask.
Previously, it was because of the words of his young son Sun Quan that he surrendered to Yuan Ke and did not die in the rebellion. Now, not only did he survive, he also received the jade seal passed down from the country. This was a blessing from heaven.
Sun Jian couldn't help but secretly rejoice and thought to himself, can I also be the emperor?
He started out in the wilderness and became a hero in troubled times.
With just a knife in his hand, he achieved his current position of power when the Yellow Turbans were in chaos. Now, with this jade seal in hand, he has a chance to become emperor in these troubled times.
"Cheng Pu!"
"We will not stay here for long. After the ship docks, we will change our horses and sneak. As long as we return to Changsha, we will be able to gather tens of thousands of horses in a short time. Then we will be able to protect ourselves."
Sun Jian was very excited.
However, before he was overjoyed, he suddenly found dozens of large ships on both sides of the river surrounding them.
"My Lord, no, it's a warship. It looks like Liu Biao's Jingzhou Navy. The leader looks like Huang Zu Cai Mao."
Han Dangfei ran over and reported the military situation to Sun Jian.
"What? Liu Biao's navy? Why are they here? Along the way, we have been hiding day and night, and our whereabouts are extremely secretive. How did they discover our whereabouts?"
When Sun Jian heard this, his expression changed.
"Rumble--"
Amidst the sound of war drums, dozens of Jingzhou troops surrounded their large ship.
"Is this General Sun Jian on board?"
Huang Zu shouted loudly.
"This is Sun Jian. What do you want to do when you come here?"
Sun Jian is a fierce general, he is highly skilled in martial arts and extremely brave.
Now, even facing tens of thousands of naval troops in Jingzhou, they are not timid at all.
"General Sun Jian, please don't get me wrong. I am here to welcome the general back to Changsha on behalf of my lord."
When Huang Zu saw this, he understood that Sun Jian had misunderstood and immediately started to defend himself.
The news that Sun Jian obtained the jade seal has not been leaked yet. Therefore, Liu Biao sent people not for the jade seal, but to join forces to defeat Yuan Shu.
"Protect me back to Changsha? Are you serious about this?"
