Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 191 When something goes wrong, there must be a demon

That night, Cheng Yu personally rushed to Beixincheng, hosted a banquet for Xu You with Tian Feng and others, and invited Lu Zhi to accompany him, which gave Xu You enough face.

Lu Zhi now loves Liu He very much, even more than Liu Yu. Outsiders say that Liu He loves money, but Lu Zhi knows that the money Liu He has made by doing everything possible is never for personal gain.

Those money and food were either used to supplement local finances, or used as military expenses, and even a lot of money from selling wine was used in the academy. admire.

So Cheng Yu asked him to help Liu He receive Xu You, and Lu Zhi readily agreed. Recruiting talented people was also one of Liu He's ideas. It was his old father-in-law's duty to help his son-in-law for public and private purposes.

Seeing Lu Zhi here, Xu You was really flattered, and thanked him quickly, but frowned again after serving the table. pork?

Cheng Yu had long seen the change in Xu You's expression, and said with a smile: "The food on this table is made by the monarch himself. He only cooks it to entertain distinguished guests, and ordinary people can't taste it."

Xu You was taken aback: "Can General Liu know how to cook? A gentleman is far away from the kitchen, this..."

Lu Zhi naturally understood Xu You's doubts. It was the same with Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong at the beginning. Now that there is no pig's head meat in every ton, they have no intention of writing a book. He laughed and said:

"Hahaha, my son-in-law has won the battlefield and the kitchen. Since he came, the price of pork in Zhuo County has increased. Just for pig farms, more than 30 more have been opened this year. Ziyuan, you can try it." Know."

"Oh? Is it so magical?" Xu You was dubious, picked up the chopsticks and looked around, frowning, not knowing where to start, because he really didn't want to eat this fishy thing.

Cheng Yu immediately introduced: "This is braised pork, this is grilled pork ribs, Nuonuo Nuo, and braised pig's head. You must have never heard of it, sir? It's a must with wine!"

Xu You hesitated for a while, but took a chopstick of pork head meat, fed it to his mouth and chewed it carefully, then his frown relaxed, and he quickly nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, it's really good..."

"Come, come, let's have a drink together," Lu Zhi raised his glass in person, and said to Xu You: "Mr. is able to come to Zhuojun because of his trust in Boxing. I will act as a host for him first, and taste the wine and vegetables first. far satisfied."

Xu You hurriedly bowed down to take the wine, and after drinking a glass, his eyes lit up. After Cheng Yu's persuasion, he drank three glasses in a row, and then ate the wine and vegetables, only then did he feel the taste of it.

After eating a piece of braised pork, Xu You sighed, "Unexpectedly, General Liu would enjoy it so much. This delicacy in the world can only be eaten in Fan Yang."

Everyone laughed, Xu You sighed, everyone felt the same, everyone has been there, and now the Yanyang Building is full every day because of these signature dishes, but other people don’t have those sauces prepared by Liu He. I can't make this kind of delicious food.

After drinking and eating, Xu You got drunk, Sun Qian sent someone to send him back to the mansion to rest. Now the county magistrate of Beixincheng is Sun Qian, and the county magistrate is Gu Yong, also to facilitate the operation of the school.

After everyone dispersed, Cheng Yu smiled at Tian Feng: "Mr. Yuan Hao said that although Xu Ziyuan was resourceful, he was arrogant and greedy for money. Now he donated 5000 million yuan, and there are countless food and property. It seems that you have misjudged the person." ah!"

Tian Feng frowned all the time during the banquet, seeing Cheng Yu making fun of him, he flicked his sleeves: "Xu You is so generous, I'm afraid he has other plans."

He still couldn't figure out why Xu You donated so much money and food. Xu You was greedy and stingy. He had heard about it for a long time, and he had seen it with his own eyes several times in Julu. Could it be wrong?

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Yuan Hao don't need to worry, I think Xu You moved his family to the north and donated money and food just to get a place."

Tian Feng shook his head and said: "It's okay to joke between you and me, I'd rather see it wrong myself, and I don't want this person to have other plans!"

Cheng Yu waved his hands and said with a smile: "Yuan Hao is worrying too much. Wang Fen has been transferred back to Luoyang. The Central Plains is full of turmoil. Xu You came here to settle down in a reasonable way. However, this person is arrogant, so he is naturally unwilling to be mediocre. He wants to make a big splash. It’s just as it should be.”

Tian Feng said indignantly: "What Zhong De said is also reasonable, but the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Xu You's move is too abnormal. It's nothing more than a million dollars, 5000 million dollars, I even doubt him. Do you have the financial resources?"

Cheng Yu shook his head and smiled and said: "This is your fault. Xu You sent so much money and food, and I have deposited it in the treasury. This is a real benefit. Shouldn't I accept it happily, but have to doubt it?" This person, shut him out?"

"Oh, Zhong De is not wrong!" Tian Feng sighed helplessly, "I just think that I have not misunderstood the person, and there must be a demon when things go wrong."

Cheng Yu knew that Tian Feng had always been stubborn and thought that he was just trying to save his face, so he didn't argue with him. He smiled and said: "The news came from Zhuo County a few days ago that there has been heavy snow outside the Great Wall this year, making it impossible to train troops. The Xianbei army is in pieces. The Lord may be back at the end of the year, so I will tell him the truth then."

Tian Feng frowned slightly, and said with emotion: "Training troops outside the Great Wall is twice the result with half the effort! What you and I went back to last year, the soldiers were already awe-inspiring in the army, which is quite different from the past. Now that another year has passed, they must have trained as iron-blooded lions .”

Cheng Yu nodded and said: "Now that the Central Plains is in chaos, the Lord and Marquis will return this time, and the frontier fortress will be pacified, which will probably help His Majesty clean up the universe."

Tian Feng nodded slightly, pondered for a moment and said: "Xu Ziyuan said that the situation in Jizhou is critical, so he brought his family here, but he reminded me that as the year is approaching, I will also bring my family to Fanyang for resettlement. I'm bothered."

Cheng Yu nodded and said: "Yuan Hao, feel free to go, I will send five hundred elite soldiers to escort."

Tian Feng waved his hand and said: "I am not from a wealthy family. Where do I need these troops? I only need twenty or thirty strong officers to help drive the carriage along the way!"

Cheng Yu didn't force it, Tian Feng's family was in Jizhou, only three or five days away from Fan Yang, so there was really no need to go to war, so he asked him to dispatch servants to help.

Soon Sun Qian turned around and asked Cheng Yu, "Is there any extra stove in Fan Yang's treasury?"

Cheng Yu asked: "I have already sent four people to Xu Ziyuan's home, isn't that enough?"

"It's not for Xu Ziyuan's family use," Sun Qian shook his head and said, "Because Bingzhou was captured by the Xiongnu, they were copied and burned, and the people fled. The famous scholar Wang Lie of Bingzhou came here yesterday to escape the chaos. I don't have enough stoves here."

Cheng Yu caressed his beard and said: "It turned out to be Wang Lie, but I've heard about it. I heard that this person can educate the people with his mighty virtue. It's really the luck of the people in Youzhou that he can come to Beixin City!"

At present, he ordered people to move the stove in the treasury and resettle Wang Lie.

Preparing the property for celebrities for free is what Liu He said before leaving. He must first make them live comfortably before they will be willing to serve the court.
