Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 77
Bosses often complain on the Internet in later generations, why are the post-[-]s so careless and resign after just a few words!But often, the employees born in the [-]s will come back right away. It’s only three thousand a month, and you still have to benchmark against a big company, and how wolfish your employees are. Sex you ghost!This kind of job is full of roads, if it’s a big deal, just change it, who will be your grandson!

However, if you give [-] a month to try!Then I am the grandson!Don't say a few words, just slap your face with a big mouth, and I won't leave!

This is the situation that Liang Guo is facing now. Xun Yu is the former boss, and he only pays [-] a month to the elder brother. The clan in Yuzhou also sells his face. Now it is Wang Hou's turn to be the self-made elder brother to lead everyone The guy is working, can he take out [-] a month and send it to everyone?
Of course he couldn't send it out!Xun Yu has been around for many years and can only make three thousand dollars a month. He is a small official of four hundred shi, where can he get such a big profit in exchange for the full support of these local clans!But Wang Hou is good at painting cakes!Just like the boss he worked for back then, he held morning meetings every month even though he couldn't even pay his poor wages. You work hard, how many dry shares will be given to you when the company goes public, learn from him!

He hurriedly dispatched envoys, and it took another three days. In the thirteen counties of Liang State, 32 Xiaolian candidates who passed the exam this year were all transferred to Suiyang, the capital of Liang State, by a letter. A group of people were old and their hair was gray. Some of them are only in their early sixteen or seventeen years old, but all of these people are the best in their own families. There is a hint of arrogance in the tone below.

"King Cao's order is here!"

Wang Congge defended Wang Hou's house with a high voice, and watched him worry about his stomach, wearing a khaki official robe with soap borders inlaid with patterns, and carrying "secretary" Cao Hongjie, who looked like a dog, these people from the Han Dynasty The "Jinke Jinshi" stopped talking, but they didn't show any more respect, they just turned their faces and faced Wang Hou.

There wasn't much nonsense when they came in, Wang Hou directly pulled up the tiger skin as a banner, and spoke with a gloomy face and a serious face.

"You and others are all Xiaolian. This time you summoned the big guys, in the name of the Prime Minister, to form the Liang State Front Enemy Food Preparation Committee, which will be distributed by the official. You and others went to the thirteen counties of Liang State to collect the autumn tax of the people according to the book. With a deadline of [-] days, hoard it in Xiao County, and there must be no mistakes!"

Just kidding, who are you!Just pointing fingers and directing Xiaolian masters here, not to mention those young Xiaolian, these old fellows all showed disdain and impatience on their faces. However, Wang Hou's next sentence made them almost lose Squirt.

"The Lu thief broke Xiaopei and fled Liu Bei, the shepherd of Yuzhou. He has the ambition of violating our country of Liang at any time. The prime minister wants to preemptively strike, and it is also an act of defending the country of Liang! And!"

The smile gradually became obscene, and Wang Hou said with a sinister smile: "The achievements of this time's expropriation of food and grass are also related to the ranking of your official positions when you enter Xudu in autumn. To monitor your performance, this is the recruitment task entered by the official according to the field record, everyone will receive a copy according to the county, do it well!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Hou led Cao Hongjie and swaggered out again in a relaxed and happy manner, leaving only the Xiaolian masters all over the place to greet his eight generations of ancestors.

Letting these local Xiaolians collect money, food and people is equivalent to letting them collect food from their own homes to recruit people. In the past, even if Xun Yu came over, he had to send someone to discuss it loudly. After the task is assigned, can these people not sell Wang Hou's face?no!

Xiaolian is similar to Jinshi in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is the gate to break away from ordinary people and enter the officialdom. However, being promoted to Xiaolian does not mean that you can become a superior official. You just have the qualifications to be an official. Only then can he hold a post, and the old Xiaolian who has no power or no power can't even get an official in his life, and the appointment of officials is divided into three, six, and nine ranks!

It is the best and the easiest to be promoted to stay under the yamen of the Sangong and Jiuqing in the capital. It is also a top-notch arrangement to serve as the magistrate of a certain place. Cao Cao once served as the magistrate of Dunqiu.

But these people are powerful and have a background, and many of them are casually dismissed by a small official, and there are even more unlucky ones who are assigned to some poor mountains and rivers as the third in command, and may be left there for the rest of their lives. If you don’t come, it’s better if you can’t wait for a job or wait for a job in Xudu, or work in the countryside.

Xiaolian's interests are not necessarily the same as those of local aristocratic families. By linking the enlistment of food with civilian husbands and appointments, Wang Hou's headache became easier. After seeing their mothers and returning to their respective county families, they immediately became busy, crying for their father and mother, using their connections in the family to toss food.

However, Wang Hou still dare not be careless. After all, it is called reuse if it is done well, and it is called death if it is not done well!What was concerned was his head. When he came out of Suiyang, he also used this little book to supervise and urge food from county to county.

A big battle has the most glorious side. Thousands of soldiers are brave and fearless, waving swords, swords, halberds, sweat and blood on the battlefield, but more is the patience behind the scenes. Preparing for a big battle may take a few days. It is over, but in order to reserve this war, it may take ten years, 20 years, or even longer to build weapons behind the scenes and stockpile food and grass. Just like the Western Han Dynasty, the glorious Han-Hungarian War during the Han Wudi period has fully experienced Han Gaozu, Wendi, Emperor Jing, the time of three generations.

Even if Xiaolian of these clans was driven to run errands for him, Wang Hou spent a full 22 days, two days later than the completion date that Cao Cao gave him. Fortunately, Cao Cao did not expect Wang Hou to complete the task on time. When they were in Xiao County, Xu Du's army had just entered the Liang Kingdom after it had assembled.

Fortunately, in this era when agricultural technology is still underdeveloped, for the convenience of agricultural irrigation, human settlements and major farming areas are all on the banks of the river, and transportation can also be carried out by means of the Surabaya Waterway. There is no chemical pollution from the large factories of later generations, but this road often The river water used by human beings is still turbid. Under the setting sun, the green river course is full of water bubbles with the smell of the river. The heavy wooden walker drags dendrobium after dendrobium of new wheat and millet, and is shaking the oars. Amidst the chant of the boatman hey yo hey yo, he leaned against the small wharf of the ancient ferry ten miles away in Xiaoxian county.

The farmers here pay taxes to the empire not only for food or cloth, but also for labor for the government. After the ship arrived, Mr. Liang Guomin, who had arrived a few days earlier, also sighed and waved the wheat dendrobium and millet dendrobium one after another. After carrying it down, another layer of straw is covered on the surface, and they are piled up in a temporary straw house.

Originally, the twenty or so child disciples taught by Wang Hou sincerely wanted to pass on some of their cultural knowledge, but at this time, they had to be treated as tools and used by Wang Hou, and they had been recording for six or seven days. Holding the ledger, they counted the grain that was transported off the ship one by one and recorded it on the rough paper book in their hands. The faces of the children were full of exhaustion.

This is the other side of the war. Even Wang Hou himself is tired enough. He has dark circles under his eyes. He is guarding the entrance of the other side of the ancient ferry village and is also hurriedly recording with a pen. In front of him is a Wearing old clothes with an unknown number of patches, with the color of malnutrition on their faces, tired men passed by the intersection into the village.

On the ancient battlefield, there were more than a dozen, 20, 50, or even a million. A large part of it was that these soldiers and civilians wanted to fight a thousand miles away. On average, an infantry needed at least two civilians to help carry weapons and food. A cavalry needs about nine horrible people to carry weapons and food. If there are cattle, horses and animals, this number can be less, but there is a lack of everything in this era!
Although it has not reached the point where the emperor found eight horses of the same coat color to pull the cart in the early Han Dynasty, and Jiuqing needed to go to court in an ox cart, but he was not rich enough to turn the legion into livestock, so he could only rely on people to resist.

The last one just came back from the autumn harvest. The tired man entered the village camp, made the last stroke, and turned his head away. Even Cao Hongjie was like a chicken blooded all day long, and the girl like an ADHD patient was shaking tiredly. , with the same dark circles under his eyes, carrying a thick account book, walking towards him, he couldn't help but let out a heavy breath.

Unexpectedly, it was really completed. In 22 days, 17 peasants from the Liang Kingdom were gathered. According to half of the tax paid by the landlords of the ledgers and all the taxes paid by the ordinary farmers, the total was more than [-] shi, which was almost enough to support a It's a big fight.

Drying the ink on his hand, and closing the ledger, Wang Hou shook to meet him, exhaustedly took the ledger from Cao Hongjie, but threw it into the basket like throwing garbage.

"Finally finished, seal the account! You can sleep well tonight!"

"Hey, this is an official document. Do you treat official documents like this?"

Cao Xiaoniu, a loyal supporter of the Cao family, immediately protested angrily, but Wang Hou rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"The prime minister also ordered the army to arrive in Xiao County on August [-]th! He didn't come either!"

"Then you go and punish him for the crime of missing a date!"

I really don't know what the relationship between this girl and Mr. Cao is. She dares to say anything, but it scares Wang Houyi's wit. In the era when saying the wrong thing would kill him, he was so frightened that he waved his hands and shook his head heavily.

"Forget it! I still have the brains to marry you and drink Hebei wine! The prime minister is wise and powerful, who dares to ask the crime!"

"Hmph! Flatterer! No, go to hell! Who is going to marry you!"

Only then did he realize that the girl stomped heavily, but put down the brush and ink casually, and Wang Hou hummed wearily: "Go to hell and wait until later! I just asked Wang Ganzi to buy a few nearby. I even brought some pepper, star anise and other spices from Xudu, and stewed some chicken soup for the children to supplement, and it should be stewed by now, do you want to drink it or not!"

"drink!"

She was tossing to death, her saliva was about to flow down, and this girl immediately nodded her head without a stand.

However, it seemed that Wang Hou was doomed to be a hard worker, and before he could smell the smell and rush to the courtyard of the landlord's house where he was temporarily staying, the sound of rushing horseshoes came from outside the village as if he was dying.

It was Zhao Yun who came!People are the hardest thing to manage!In the past few days, Wang Hou only took care of receiving and keeping accounts, and he organized the folk husbands who arrived in Xiao County. Never been there before, tens of thousands of civilian husbands are still well-arranged, and Wang Hou didn't give Wang Hou any moths like gathering people to fight, dead people or anything.

But at this time, he was also tired and pale with a handsome face but full of seriousness. He got off the horse in two quick steps, ran to Wang Hou's side quickly, and clasped his fists heavily.

"Commander! Magistrate Zou invites you to go to Xiao County as soon as possible. There seems to be another situation happening over there!"

"What's happening!"

Hearing this, Wang Hou couldn't help but tense up.

…………

This is an era in which the old order collapses, and the upper and lower are overcome. In the words of Confucius, it is an era in which rituals collapse and music is destroyed. Anything can happen!Just like at the beginning, Cao Cao was also dreaming. He didn't expect that among the more than [-] county towns in Yuzhou and Yanzhou that belonged to him, under the betrayal of his old friend Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, there were only three left!

Therefore, it is not impossible for Xiao County, which is next to Xiaopei, to rebel. It is full of vigilance. Wang Hou only left a hundred warehouses to guard the ancient ferry. Four hundred elite soldiers, fully armed, marched towards Xiao County.

Something big happened today!Arriving outside the gate of Xiao County before the sun sets, the whole county is like a turmoil, and the grass and trees are full of soldiers. The two county gates have been closed early on. Finally, he carried up the braziers and bundles of bows and arrows.

Fortunately, the worst didn't happen. Seeing Wang Hou leading the troops over, Xiao County Magistrate Zou Kai anxiously ordered the door to be reopened and let Wang Hou in.

"What happened!"

Probably not a good thing. As soon as he entered the city, Wang Hou took his subordinates directly to the city wall. This Zou Kai is already in his fifties, but this time he is like a child weighing more than 200 catties, full of hair. Da Khan was at a loss. When he saw Wang Hou coming, he acted as if he had found the backbone, regardless of whether the two were on the same level, he hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed.

"Oh, Wang Lingguan, you are here! An hour ago, a merchant escaped from Jiating in the east, and his merchandise was attacked by some bandit soldiers, and now he even came to our Xiao County! "

"Thieves?"

Wang Hou's heart tightened.

Not to mention, it is not uncommon for a county to encounter bandits these days. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are large areas of wilderness that are completely outside the rule. , I even encountered bandits robbing, but the bandits coming from the direction of Peiguo on the opposite side could not make people nervous, after all, that was a battlefield.

Is it difficult to bring Lu Bu to call?

Although in history, Cao Cao's victory over Lu Bu seemed to be determined by one station, and there were not many twists and turns. On the contrary, he annexed Bingzhou soldiers and Xuzhou soldiers, adding [-] to [-] elite soldiers, but he was able to pass through. What else is impossible occur?

Turning his head, Wang Hou just shook his head at Wang Congge!
The night was getting darker and darker, and the Xiaoxian city could only see a piece of darkness, but at a distance of about 50 meters from the city wall, piles of fires were lit. Wang Hou was standing behind the crenel with a gloomy face on the earth gun, while on the official road, Zhao Yun was holding a gun and leading all thirty cavalry under Wang Hou's command to guard the gate of the city.

Wang Hou’s telescope is no longer a crude paper tube. Wang Yuan built two tin tubes for him, the size of which fit together. He pulled them apart pretentiously under Zou Kai’s silly eyes, and looked out. On the road, figures swaying like little ghosts were still vaguely revealed. Putting down the binoculars and holding the torch, Wang Hou immediately swayed to the bottom of the city wall a few times.

After receiving the order, Zhao Yun patted his horse and trotted forward. After traveling more than ten meters, he happened to be hidden in the darkness behind the fire, and he shouted loudly.

"Where is the thief, dare to offend my territory in Xiao County! Report your name!"

His roar made the bandit soldiers who were walking forward scattered and swaying obviously pause, but immediately, a louder roar with a taste of the North came back.

"You mother traitor! This is Yuzhou Mu Liu Xuande's army! Hurry up and go back and tell your county magistrate, open the city gate and cook a meal to welcome Yuzhou Mu into the city!"

While talking, several torches were lit again, and a big khaki-colored Liu character suddenly appeared in Wang Hou's binoculars!
