I am a boss in the Three Kingdoms [System]

In November, together with the general situation, it was announced to all officials that Mi Ren ordered the court to establish a salt and sugar production department, and the government would sell tea, liquor, woolen fabrics and other items.

Officials and gentry were curious.

It is understandable to make salt, tea, and liquor.Salt is the foundation of the people, and the current treasury is empty, so it is possible to do it; tea and liquor have been in short supply since they came out a few years ago.

But this sugar division, woolen fabrics...?

Does the national teacher plan to include caramel in the production of the court?

And woolen fabrics, what's that?

...Will making these things look like they are not doing their job properly?They are courtiers, how can they trade like merchants?

With a hesitant look on their faces, all the officials asked Mi Rian one after another.

Mi Ren showed the sugar and wool fabrics to all the officials.

Wool fabrics include wool thread and thin wool cloth, and the clothes made of wool are soft and exquisite, and they are close-fitting and warm to wear.A thin piece of clothing is actually comparable to fine and expensive silk clothing!

Perfect for fall, winter, and early spring!

As for sugar, it is even more shocking.

They originally thought that the national teacher was going to sell maltose, but the two kinds of candy they sold: white sugar and milk candy were unheard of and never seen by the world!

The white sugar is crystal clear and has distinct particles.Gently put it in your mouth and taste it, everyone's complexion suddenly changed.

Humans have an indelible desire for sugar, which is engraved in their instincts, especially in today's low developmental capacity.The candies on the market include honey and caramel. Honey is a tribute, and caramel is eaten by the gentry during the New Year and energy saving.

But this white granulated sugar melts as soon as you take a sip, and then it becomes exhilaratingly sweet... so sweet!

After eating this white sugar, eat a small grain of toffee, and the rich and overbearing milk fragrance and sweetness instantly fill your mouth.At this moment, the officials all felt a bit of indescribable happiness in their hearts, and fell in love with this taste immediately!

They stared at Mi Yan with wide eyes, asked when these things would be on the market, and their breathing gradually became short of breath.

——Where in their minds did they care about whether it was good or not for the court to manufacture these things like merchants, only the words "buy, buy, buy" occupied their entire minds!

Mi Yan took the opportunity and said: "Since there are too many people who want to buy, you can go to the Shaofu to pre-order various goods. First come, first served, while stocks last."

Hearing this, all the officials would stop there, and went to the Shaofu to register and buy.

Knowing that the purchase of all items is restricted, especially that each person can only buy up to five catties of white sugar and two packs of toffee, the officials were furious: "Even though these items are expensive, we can still afford more, Shaofu Han, are you?" Do you look down on us?!"

Shaofu was surrounded by people, seeing everyone's angry faces, felt pitiful, weak and helpless: "... I am wronged, how dare I make such a decision, this is the rule of the national teacher!"

When the officials heard this, their faces softened: "It turns out that it is the rules set by the national teacher, so there must be a reason for the national teacher."

"Come, come, Shaofu Han, please register for us, and remember to notify us when the goods arrive."

"Yes, I want all the goods, please register them for me!"

The quick change of face made Han Shaofu: "..."

Knowing that these goods will arrive in Chang'an years ago, the gentry looked forward to it and asked the Shaofu every day.Because too many people asked too often, the Shaofu even opened his mouth and said "Hurry up, hurry up, don't rush" when he saw his colleagues later, and was dubbed "Mr. Hurry up" by the officials.

Hurry up, Mr. Han Shaofu: ...ah bah, you guys are so fast!

On the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the first batch of goods arrived at the court.

The previously registered gentry had already prepared money and food, and took the ordered items back home on the same day.Some were bought in shops rented by the imperial court, and they were sold out by the gentry who received the news without even supporting them the next day.

All the gentry officials who bought it were satisfied, laughing at those who didn't buy it, crying and howling.

So in the Spring Festival of the second year of Chuping, everyone wore woolen clothes, made green tea when entertaining guests, and drank white wine in the banquet...unspeakably happy and comfortable.

In view of the fact that there were too many gentry officials who requested to visit, Mi Ren hosted a banquet for hundreds of officials and gentry on the second day of the first lunar month.After the fourth day, I invited old friends from Jingluo High School alone.

——Yang Biao, Zhou Yi and others.

The world is full of wars, and Mi Ren thinks that Yangzhou will also be involved in the civil strife, so she makes Zhou Yi the governor of Jiujiang County, and goes to serve after Xue retires.

Zhou Yu naturally followed his father to visit.

A 14-year-old boy, his hair is getting longer and longer, his figure is thin but not thin, and his eyebrows and eyes are already elegant and handsome for future generations.

Seeing Mi Ren, he bowed respectfully: "Yu has met the national teacher."

He has read a lot of books over the years, and he knows that when he was young, he insisted on calling Mi Eun "big brother", which is actually rude.

Knowing his concerns, Mi Yan picked up a toffee with a smile and put it in Zhou Yu's hand: "Eat the candy, Ayu."

Toffee, Zhou Yu actually doesn’t like to eat it very much, he thinks it’s a bit too sweet.But for this one, he still peeled off the outer skin and put it in his mouth.

Sugar is very sweet, sweet all the way to the bottom of my heart.

Just like the first time I met him, the Rubik's Cube he gave himself made him cherish the anomaly.

So when he left, he pursed his lips, and finally said: "Brother, goodbye." His father went to Jiujiang County to be the county guard, so he naturally had to follow.

In the future, maybe it will be many years that they will not be able to see Mi Ren again.

Mi Yan laughed.

He stretched out his hand to brush off the leaves that fell from the young man's shoulders, and said gently, "Don't be melancholy, Ayu, your future is poetry and the distance."

Zhou Yu was startled for a while, relieved for a while, and saluted again.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the solar terms are still strong.

The charm of the Chinese New Year still lingers in Chang'an City, and every household is smiling, which is the complete opposite of last year's miserable.Grateful that this was brought about by Mi Eun, many scribes wrote articles to thank and praise Mi Eun.

At this time, Yilang Cai Yong received a letter from his hometown.

Cai Yong thought it was his uncle from his hometown who thanked him for the sugar and woolen cloth he sent back. Before he left his hometown for a job, he was afraid that his daughter Cai Yan would have a hard time living alone, so he asked the elders in his hometown to take care of her.

Opening it up, there are a few large characters written on the letter: Zhao Ji was captured by the Huns!

Cai Yong is completely stupid!

He stared at the letter in a daze, as if he didn't understand the meaning of these words, he stood there in a daze as if he had fallen into an ice cave.After a long time, he suddenly came back to his senses, and went to Mi Ren's mansion in a panic without even changing his clothes.

Mi Ren just called Zhao Yun from the next door.

Earlier, he received a letter from Mi Zhu, saying that he really couldn't suppress Mi Xiaomei, so he sent the child from his hometown to Chang'an on the second day of the first lunar month.The letter also told Mi Eun to teach the younger sister well, and if there is a suitable candidate in Chang'an, make an appointment for the younger sister's marriage as soon as possible!

Mi Yan couldn't laugh or cry.

——His elder brother is good at everything, but loves to worry.Meeting Mi You who is pampered by him, you won't have a headache!

Calculating the time, Mi You happened to be able to arrive today.

Previously, the generals and counselors under his command each received rewards, Zhao Yun was named a school lieutenant, led eight thousand troops, and lived very close to the Mi Mansion.

Zhao Yun came very quickly, Mi Ren said: "Zilong, do you have time now?"

"Go to the Shili Pavilion outside the city for me, and pick someone up."

Zhao Yun's heart moved slightly.

He was originally a silent person, and somehow he became a little nervous when he heard this: "I don't know who the lord wants Yun to pick up?"

Mi Yan smiled meaningfully: "You will know when you see her."

Zhao Yun took the order and left, but his heartbeat speeded up quietly.

"Zilong values ​​affection, is open-minded and tolerant, brave and good at fighting, and has the courage to plan. Given time, he will be the general who commands the three armies." Xun Yu raised his eyebrows, "Zisu's actions seem to have identified this brother-in-law."

Mi Yan said leisurely: "Character and courage come second. It doesn't matter whether I recognize it or not. The most important thing is..."

He dragged out his voice, and Xun Yu's heart jumped subconsciously when he heard it.

"Ayou likes it." He said, "Just like me and Wen Ruo, no matter whether others agree or not, I want you."

Xun Yu coughed lightly with his hand against his fist, and the smile on his lips deepened.

This Mi Zisu, no matter what she says, she can be related to him!

……

While the two were talking and laughing, Yilang Cai Yong asked to see him.

Seeing Mi Ren, Cai Yong wept bitterly: "General, please save the unfilial daughter of my minister!"

Mi Yan was slightly startled, and quickly helped her up: "What happened, please tell Cai Yilang in detail."

When Cai Yong avoided the war in his early years, he had a relationship with Ren Gu as a teacher and student for a period of time.Two years ago, because there were not enough teachers in the Confucian classics academy, Mi Yan asked Ren Gu to visit him and invite him to teach in the academy.

However, Cai Yan, Cai Yong's daughter, had just become a widow at that time, and she was tired of her husband's gossip and returned to her hometown. Cai Yong was worried and did not go.

Later, when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Cai Yong was recruited into the court as Yilang.After Dong Zhuo was killed, he wasn't sure if Mi Yan would bear his grudge against him, so he didn't dare to make any noise in the court.

If he hadn't heard that Cai Yan was taken captive now, he wouldn't have come to bother Mi Yan.

Earlier, Xiutu Gehu took the opportunity to cause chaos, and the Huns outside the pass followed suit.The Xiongnu was good at leading more than [-] cavalry from Zuo Xianwang, and plundered Bing and Yuzhou.

He has 20 soldiers and is one of the four major Shanyu of the Huns.Calculated, the entire Huns have at least [-] cavalry.

It is easy to drive them away; it is difficult to save Cai Wenji.

Mi Yan pondered for a moment, then comforted: "I see, Yilang, don't worry, I will definitely make the Xiongnu pay the due price."

The next day, all the officials returned to the court and discussed the Huns' invasion, and Mi Ren made a decision:

——Let him lead Lu Bu, Li Jue and [-] soldiers to attack the Xiongnu, and they must pay the price in blood, and dare not invade the big man again!

All the officials were shocked, and they all advised Mi Rian that this matter must be discussed carefully before making a decision.

"I know everyone's worries," Mi Yan said indifferently, "but I defeated the Xiutu cavalry with [-] troops, solved the Youzhou rebellion without bloodshed, and even entered the palace and killed Dong Zhuo single-handedly. Why don't you believe me? You can lead an army of [-] to defeat the Xiongnu."

All the officials looked at each other in dismay upon hearing this, and could no longer utter words of admonition.

So in the spring and February of this year, Mi Ren sent troops to the Xiongnu.Xun Yu, the Minister of the Minister, was appointed as a servant and stayed in Chang'an.

The servant is the second grade, usually with an additional name, just like Mi Yan's national teacher.This official position can serve the emperor, enter and exit the court, and enter the court to participate in politics.

The courtiers did not object.

First of all, when the nine-rank Zhongzheng system was reformed, it was Xun Yu who won the hearts of Mi Ren on behalf of Mi Ren, and the gentry officials had a good impression of him; secondly, they knew well that after Mi Guoshi left the court, he must put his confidants in the court for supervision , Xun Yu is this person.

Everyone accepted it well, and no one dared to show off Xun Yu's face.

This is the person Mi Guoshi trusts the most, who dares to underestimate him?

The nine-rank Zhongzheng system has been implemented for four months, and it is a good time to clear up the government from top to bottom.Under internal and external troubles, there is currently no major friction between the officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Chang'an is calm.

But under this surface peace, Xun Yu keenly sensed something strange.

——Wang Yun and the three great gentry families he had befriended, in the name of selling old grain at a low price, transported a lot of grain out of Chang'an and headed west.

This is actually not a big deal. It is normal for merchants who are good at farming to travel north and south to transport and sell grain.But the strange thing is that not long after, Xun Yu received a letter from Han Sui, asking why Ma Teng received more food than him.

In his early years, Han Sui rebelled because of the coercion of the Qiang people, and fought against the imperial court for two full years.Later, Liu Hong accepted Mi Ren's persuasion to recruit Han Sui, and it was Dong Zhuo who finally made this happen.

Dong Zhuo was the shepherd of Liangzhou, and Han Sui and Ma Teng joined Dong Zhuo and sent troops to guard the border.When Dong Zhuo died, Mi Ren decreed that everything would remain as usual, and the two complied with the court's call for security and continued to guard the border.

The military pay for the past few months had already been paid a month ago, so Han Sui had more than Ma Teng.And now, he actually received more food than Han Sui?

In connection with the "old food" that had been transported out of Chang'an, Xun Yu concluded from this: Ma Teng colluded with Wang Yun and others in preparation for rebellion.

As the general of the Western Expedition stationed in Liangzhou, Ma Teng currently leads [-] troops.

It is unrealistic for Mi Ren to lead the army to go out, and it is unrealistic to inform him to come back now.There are [-] defenders in Chang'an City, as well as Huang Zhong, Zhong Yao, and Xu Rong who completely surrendered because of Dong Zhuo's death. They may not be without the strength to fight.

But if there is chaos in the rear, it will affect Mi Yan's military spirit.

He made a decisive decision and wrote an imperial edict to send people to Liangzhou.

Letter: "General Ma, Wang Yun and others leaked the news, and General Mi already knew about the rebellion. At present, Wang Yun and others have been arrested and imprisoned. Since you have not raised troops yet, as long as you are willing to continue to loyally guard the border, the general can forgive you." You, make it business as usual."

At the same time, Zhong Yao, Huang Zhong and others were ordered to collect evidence of crimes committed by Wang Yun and the gentry.

The gentry are so prosperous that they cannot be scrutinized.They quickly found evidence of tax evasion for the batch of grain and grass sent to Liangzhou, and directly sent several people to prison.

Seeing this, many officials in the court felt fear in their hearts.As the saying goes, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. In their position, who would not have a little bit of tax evasion?If Xun Yu had to investigate and deal with these things, it would be too harsh!

Then he continued to speak, asking Xun Yu to release Wang Yun and others.

Xun Yu withstood the pressure from the courtiers.

He bluntly said that Wang Yun and Ma Teng conspired to rebel, and now that Ma Teng was at the critical moment of sending troops, he arrested Wang Yun and put him in prison.

Baiguan: ...? ? ?

Everyone was shocked and looked at Xun Yu in a daze. They couldn't believe that Wang Yun would do such a thing. It was more like Xun Yu framed him to exclude Wang Yun.

But if it's crowding out...why not make a move when Mi Guoshi is around?

All the officials were puzzled, and found that Xun Yu had only captured Wang Yun and sent him to prison without any extra actions of beating him, so he temporarily suppressed his suspicion.

At this time, Ma Teng, who was already preparing to go out, received this edict.

He was shocked and hurriedly ordered people to go to Jingluo to investigate the matter.The visitor saw that the security in Chang'an City was heavily guarded, and Wang Yun and others were arrested and imprisoned, so they naturally went back and told Ma Teng: "The edict is true, General Mi may have known about your movements, and he will come from the front line soon. Return to Chang'an!"

Ma Teng was afraid.After hesitating again and again, he led the troops back to the station.

A war is inevitable.

When the news came back from Liangzhou, proving that Ma Teng was really colluding with Wang Yun and others to rebel, all the officials were completely shocked!

——If it wasn't for Xun Yu's cleverness to appease Ma Teng with tricks, I'm afraid they wouldn't know about it until Ma Teng's soldiers came to the city!

They asked Xun Yu one after another how he guessed that Ma Teng wanted to rebel?

Xun Yu briefly explained his speculation.

All the officials were dumbfounded when they heard this.

They only know that Xun Yu, as Mi Guoshi's confidant, is definitely not a good person to deal with.Unexpectedly, he is so wise, no wonder Mi Guoshi asked him to stay in Chang'an!

The officials were awe-inspiring, and they were even more respectful when facing Xun Yu.

Xun Yu felt this, as if he didn't realize it, and faced the officials calmly as always.It is neither humble nor overbearing, calm and indifferent, and everyone praises it.

Thinking that he was only 26 years old this year, and seeing the emptiness around him and the lack of people in the backyard, many people moved their minds and wanted to marry him.Even if you can't get married, you can give him some beautiful concubines.

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Thanks for your appreciation, but Yu was married before, so I'm afraid you can't accept your kindness."

He said this with a happy smile in his eyes.Anyone who reads it can know that he loves his wife very much.

Most of the people shut their mouths sensibly, and instead praised Xun Yu and his wife for their deep love, which is enviable.

There was also some unwillingness to give up, and said: "It's just a few concubines, the honorable lady won't be jealous."

When Xun Yu heard this, he suddenly straightened his face.

He looked at each other and said calmly: "I only put him in my heart for the rest of my life. If I accept others, it will not only disrespect him, but also disrespect myself. In this case, please stop talking about it in front of me." .”

When the person who spoke before heard the words, he had no choice but to respond with a stiff face.

Seeing the embarrassment in the atmosphere, someone made a good-faith siege and said, "Xun Shizhong is a talented person, graceful and elegant. Your wife is also beautiful and beautiful, right?"

Xun Yu involuntarily followed the man's words and thought of Mi Ren's appearance, with a faint smile on his lips.

"He is indeed a beautiful country."
