The words "work for relief" are rarely mentioned in this era, but in the eyes of a veteran keyboard warrior like Cao Wu, they are the basic skills of ancient disaster relief and a skill that every time traveler should learn.
Cao Wu simply pointed out the advantages of working-for-relief rather than simply distributing relief food, and Zhao Yan's eyes lit up.
The scholar behind him seemed to understand the benefits of this measure. He stopped and thought for a while before being pulled by the little red horse and staggering forward again. He hit a big rock next to him and a blood stripe appeared on his arm, but he said something. Not sent.
Zhao Yan seemed unaware of the scholar's actions and said with a hearty smile: "The general's move of using work for relief is really a good strategy for disaster relief! The general has pioneered disaster relief and will not lose out on his achievements in farming in the past!"
Cao Wu smiled and nodded.
Historically, it was Yingchuan Zao Zhi who pioneered the farming system. However, in this era, Zao Zhi was only the promoter of the farming system rather than the creator. Because Cao Wu traveled through time early, the farming system was suitable for the productivity of the time. , Cao Cao had been informed by Cao Wu a long time ago.
It's just that Cao Wu didn't care about achievements, nor was he proud of plagiarizing other people's creations. Only a few people knew about many of the things he did behind the scenes. Zhao Yan didn't know that the farming system that made the north abundant with food and grass came from the Beifu general in front of him. hand.
The two were discussing when they heard the scholar behind them snort coldly: "It's good to provide relief with work, but you still need money and food to carry out it. But from the tone of this new governor, it doesn't sound like he has money and food. No. Without money and food, it’s just empty talk!”
Zhao Yanzheng was impressed by the work-for-relief method and forgot about this. When he heard this, he had a troubled look on his face.
After going around in a circle, we are back to the starting point, still no money or food.
Cao Wu still didn't look at the scholar. He actually had a plan for money and food.
He didn't even know how much money Beifu had. This money could be given to Xun Yu to ensure the food and grass for the army, and it could also be given to Jingzhou to help Jingzhou survive the military disaster.
But this is not a long-term solution. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them how to fish.
He looked at Zhao Yan and uttered two words.
"Aristocratic family."
When Cao Cao entered Jingzhou, Liu Cong surrendered without restraint. This was because of the instruction of the powerful families in Jingzhou.
The main fighting faction in Jingzhou was led by Liu Bei and Huang Zu. After Huang Zu died in the battle, Liu Bei was even less trusted and was almost assassinated. He relied on Lu Ma to escape, and only then could the main surrender faction stand on the stage of history.
Among the Jingzhou clans, the most powerful were the Kuai clan of Nanjun and the Cai clan of Xiangyang. They were also the ones who made the most noise when trying to persuade them to surrender.
Kuai Yue, the representative figure of the Kuai family, was the first minister who persuaded Liu Cong to surrender. He has been promoted to Guang Luxun, one of the nine ministers. But his brother Kuai Liang has not yet been assigned a good position.
As for Cai Mao, the representative figure of the Cai family, in the Battle of Chibi, the navy commanded by Cai Mao performed well, with no great achievements or mistakes.
Because the war in Hefei had just ended, the commendations and punishments of the entire war were still brewing. Cai Mao, Liu Biao's "relative" who had served as the governor of many counties in Jingzhou, was in urgent need of promotion. The governor of Jingzhou failed, but Jingzhou Biejia was able to compete.
In addition, Liu Biao's nephew Zhang Yun, although he followed Xia Houyuan as a forward and lost, he later performed well in the Battle of Chibi and achieved military exploits, and he also wanted to go further.
In addition, among the four southern counties, Jin Xuan, the governor of Wuling, Han Xuan, the governor of Changsha, Zhao Fan, the governor of Guiyang, and Liu Du, the governor of Lingling, are all veteran generals of Jingzhou. Although they have secured their positions as governors, they still need the help of the governor of Jingzhou.
In this way, the Jingzhou family will have what they want.
Zhao Yan is a smart man and knows everything about Cao.
Zhao Yan was quick-thinking and knew that he was different from Liu Biao, the leader of Jingzhou who took the initiative to separate the country.
When Liu Biaodan rode into Jingzhou, he relied on the checks and balances of the aristocratic family to gain power.
Liu Biao's power came from the checks and balances of his family, while Zhao Yan's power came from the conferment of the imperial court.
Now that Zhao Yan has strong soldiers and horses, as long as he keeps an eye on the aristocratic families and beats them one by one, he will have most of the money and food.
He represents the imperial court, Cao Cao, and even Cao Wu. He needs to be more ruthless than Liu Biao when dealing with aristocratic families.
Just as Cao Wu reminded them, Zhao Yan had already hatched a plan that would kill the Kuai family and the Cai family, but would not touch the representatives of each family, leaving them unable to speak out about their suffering.
They discussed all the way, and Cao Wu let go of his worries and answered fluently. The two of them rode out of the city and arrived near Cao Wu's temporary camp.
Zhao Yan, who was planning an attack on the Jingzhou family, suddenly thought of something and showed a strange smile. He approached Cao Wu and asked, "Speaking of the family, Liu Jingsheng's wife and Liu Jiyu's mother is also the Cai family. She comes from the Cai family in Xiangyang. She is the legitimate daughter of the Cai family and the sister of Cai Degui. She was born graceful, luxurious and extremely beautiful, and I don’t know the prime minister..."
Cao Wu:?
Has the story of the Cao family's love for their wives spread so far?
Before Jingzhou has completely returned to his heart, he has begun to consider taking care of the widow of the original Lord of Jingzhou?
What a wonderful wife, I will support you!
Zhao Yan probed: "If the prime minister can't do it, or the general?"
Cao Wu had never met Cai, but based on her age, she was Liu Biao's second wife, and her actual age was only around thirty.
At this age, one is charming, considerate, and knows a lot, which is exactly...
While he was thinking about it, a girl's cry reached his ears.
It turned out that it was Cao Asi who came out of the tent to welcome him back.
"Ah Si, why are you crying?"
Cao Wu stopped his horse, and Ah Si sobbed: "The breach of the Yangtze River was closed, but all three five-toothed ships were destroyed. Our hard work is gone!"
Those three five-toothed ships were held at the forefront by many ships and almost withstood all the pressure. It was normal for them to be destroyed.
Rather, if the Wuya ship does not sink, and no one can seal the breach in the Yangtze River, the flood will be cured in what time and month.
The Yellow River in the north often changes its course and is often flooded for months at a time, and the Yangtze River almost did the same.
Thanks to the big ship Wuya, it was able to seal the river embankment after it sank.
In this way, after rescuing many ships and then rescuing the people on the north coast, the Five-Tooth Ship can be regarded as a great achievement in battle, and it will not be shameful if it breaks down.
Cao Wu got off his horse, touched Ah Si's head and said, "It doesn't matter, the blueprints are still there, it's not like we can't make it in the future."
Ah Si's petite body twitched, and she choked with sobs: "But that dragon bone is hard to find."
"It doesn't matter. We'll just go look for him when we get back to Beifu."
Cao Wu wanted to say more, but saw Ada glare at him from the corner.
He is not an idiot who is not involved in love affairs, so he still doesn’t know what Ah Da means. It must be that Ah Da heard about Zhao Yan’s introduction to Cai just now, and then let Ah Si come out to stir up trouble, but he did not point it out in front of outsiders. Cao Wuliu has enough face.
Cao Wu touched his forehead. No matter what, Liu Cong of Jingzhou became the governor of Qingzhou, and he was also a high official in the border area. Cao Cao, a wife maniac, didn't even try to rob Mrs. Cai, probably because he was afraid of another Zhang Xiu incident.
How could Wei Wu, who had no such spirit as Cao, snatch Mrs. Cai away?
Cao Wu glared back at Ah Da. Ah Da was stunned. He didn't want to hit Cao Wu for being so confident, and his momentum suddenly weakened.
Zhao Yan had met Ah Da a long time ago, but he didn't know Ah Da's true identity. Seeing him again now, he knew that they still had something to do, so he excused himself to leave.
Before leaving, he said: "The general has helped me several times. I will go through fire and water to do a good job in Jingzhou and live up to the people of Jingzhou and the general's expectations!"
Cao Wugong bowed his hands: "If there is any gap in disaster relief, just go to Beifu to find me. I heard that Jiang Xiawen, the governor, fought with Er... and Guan Yunchang for dozens of moves without falling behind. I have long wanted to marry Wen, the governor. Wait for this heroic figure, but Xiakou City is not the place to talk. When the flood recedes, please arrange for Boran to go to Beifu to meet me."
Zhao Yan solemnly said: "I will never disgrace my life!"
He kept this in mind and waited for Jingzhou to settle down before taking Wenpin, the prefect of Jiangxia, to pay a visit to Beifu.
After Zhao Yan left, Ah Dacai moved lightly in front of Cao Wu. He had long forgotten the jealousy just now, and helped Cao Wu dust himself off and tidy up his clothes.
Cao Wu smiled and said: "There are no outsiders anymore, so there is no need to sort it out."
Ada pouted towards the scholar and said, "What about this one?"
At this time, the young scholar who was dragged all the way out of the city had several wounds on his body, and his thin clothes were dirty and torn.
The word "embarrassing" is not enough to describe his miserable appearance. There is no trace of elegance at all.
But the scholar's eyes were firm and he stared at Cao Wu.
Cao Wuye pursed his lips and said: "He, the fourth surname in Wu County, the most outstanding descendant of this generation of the Lu family in Jiangdong, Lu Xun and Lu Boyan."
