Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

At the end of the 16th year of Jian'an, Sun Quan built a stone city and changed the name of Moling to Jianye. Later, he built Ruxuwu to prevent Cao Cao from invading south. 【1】

After Cao Cao heard about this, he felt unhappy, and he probably felt very unwilling after thinking about it. After all, the situation of great unification was almost formed, and it was not in his character to just give up like this.

Cao Cao has been training his navy since the beginning of the year, ready to send his troops south, and then fight a tough battle with Jiangdong.

Also because Cao Cao was going to attack Sun Quan, even if he received the disaster relief request from Chang Wang and others, He'an didn't care too much.

Hearing that Siqi was going to He'an, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, and wrote a letter to Siqi himself, asking her to help manage the disaster relief. Not only He'an, but also several disaster-stricken counties in the surrounding area will also help. Ask the emperor for food.

Si Qi wrote back and said yes, he still has a lot of stocks, and when the time comes to ask the emperor for an edict, he can borrow some of the grain first, so that Cao Cao doesn't have to worry.

But Cao Cao was obviously still a little worried, and sent Sima Yi to Chengping to help Siqi dispatch the disaster.

Yecheng suddenly wanted to come over to such a big Buddha. Si Qi felt that Alexander was great, but he still put on a straight posture and received him well.

Siqi asked Xun You, Liu Yun and Zhou Buyi to come to a meeting, told about Sima Yi's coming, and told him to remember to prepare an extra copy of all kinds of items used for the trip, so as not to treat the imperial court's disaster relief badly.

Now that the candidates have been determined and the disaster relief team has been assembled, everyone now has a division of labor.

According to the division of labor, Liu Yun is mainly responsible for the daily affairs. After listening to Si Qi's words, he assured his daughter that there is absolutely no problem with this matter. .

Si Qi is at ease with Liu Yun. Every time he goes out with his father, he brings enough things. Unless there is something force majeure, there will be some leftovers.

Besides, this trip is to Uncle Wang's place, and Chang Wang will definitely have new supplies.

Xun You is in charge of coordinating the affairs of the whole team, and also stated to Si Qi that he will lead the team well, pay attention to harmony, and try to leave room for Sima Yi to play.

After all, this person has been favored by Cao Cao recently, and he has made friends with Cao Pi. Now that Cao Pi has become Cao Cao's designated heir, he can be said to be in full swing, and even Sima Yi and others are also on the rise.

Zhou Buyi followed Xun You to express his opinion, saying that he was fine, and that he would give Xun You a good support at that time.

Xun Yu and Liu Yun still had something to do, and they left the house one after the other after the morning meeting.

Zhou Buyi saw that Si Qi had something on his mind early in the morning, he did not leave with the two of them, but stayed behind, poured a cup of scented tea for Si Qi with a pot, and said to Si Qi: "The lord looks at It seems that there are some troubles, which seem to be related to Sima Yi, and I would like to ask the lord to show me, how can I help the lord to share his worries?"

Zhou Buyi felt that Siqi was under a lot of pressure because of Sima Yi's arrival.

It may be because he left Yecheng relatively early, and he didn't feel the power of Sima Yi at all. He also felt that Xun Yu and Guo Jia were the ceiling of Cao Cao's counselors, but now that he is getting older, his body can't keep up. , Only then did Sima Yi and others appear.

It's not easy for Si Qi to tell Zhou Buyi how powerful Sima Yi was in history, but he just said that he heard that Sima Yi was born in a famous family and was appreciated by Cao Cao and Cao Pi. some.

Zhou Buyi has been well-known since he was a child, and because he followed Siqi earlier, he has developed well in Chengping these years, and he doesn't think Sima Yi's arrival is a big deal. Hearing what Siqi said, Zhou Buyi gave Siqi A "You don't need to say much, I actually understand the eyes", said, "Since the lord is worried about this person, I will look at him for the lord."

Si Qi also knew that there was no conflict of interest between Sima Yi and them, and she definitely wanted to do well the errands assigned by Cao Cao when she came out this time. She valued Sima Yi because of his image as a big devil in history, especially when she thought of the old card games. Sima Yi, the second person's big boss, always has a kind of unconscious fear, but he doesn't think Sima Yi will do bad things.

Since Zhou Buyi had said so, facing his kindness, Si Qi could only accept it smoothly, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will thank you for your hard work."

Siqi used to live in Xudu, and was always protected by Liu Yun. He was cared for like a delicate flower in a greenhouse. Everything went smoothly in his life. Later, he even achieved peace and became the only one in the DPRK who has been paid attention to in recent years. The Lord of the fief.

Siqi's earliest memories of the war came from the city of He'an.

When she was in He'an, she, her father, Uncle Wang, etc. were besieged by the army, and they still used Uncle Wang's alchemy room to make fireworks before sending out the signal. It was also because of Boss Cao's help that they successfully survived this disaster.

Chang Wang led people to meet Liu Yun and Si Qi who came all the way from Chengping for more than two hundred li.

Seeing the scene where Chang Wang and Liu Yun are together, Si Qi unconsciously thinks of Ma Teng, Liu Yun's diehard fan.

If Ma Teng was here at this time, how would he feel when he saw Liu Yun and Chang Wang being so intimate.

At dusk, Si Qi and his party were finally able to enter the city.

The food at Chang Wang’s mansion has been prepared, and Chang Wang invited everyone to the mansion for a feast. He said that because of the disaster, today’s food is relatively simple, and most of it is game that he sent someone to bring. Please make it up and wait until next year. After the disaster is over and the market in the city is getting better, he will hold a banquet for everyone to eat something good.

Si Qi and his party were a little tired after coming to He'an from a long distance, and after a hasty evening meal, they all went back to their rooms to rest.

Siqi's courtyard is adjacent to Princess Chang's residence. To show respect, King Chang and Princess Chang personally took Siqi and Liu Yun to the residence.

Si Qi had been trapped in this city for nearly a month, and he still had a clear memory of the structure of Prince Chang's Mansion. When he passed a courtyard with an open gate, Si Qi remembered that this was the alchemy used by King Chang to enshrine Taoist gods. house.

This courtyard seems to have been repaired not long ago, the blue bricks on the ground are all new, and there is a magic circle for praying for rain inside. It seems that Chang Wang is still a believer in Taoism, but I don’t know how effective his magic circle is for autumn rain, can it be Bless this year's He'an with good weather and good weather.

Chang Wang used to be a person who seemed to know the fate of heaven, but now he has lost the optimism and sense of humor of the past. It seems that he is worried about the disaster situation in He'an and the refugees.

Compared with the drought suffered by He'an, Chengping's place is much better.

The rain in Chengping has not been sufficient, and last year was comparable to previous years. Siqi also realized this problem early and adopted a special irrigation device, which was hardly affected by the drought.

But Chang Wang's side is different. Many fields are severely drought, and some even have no harvest.

After a night's rest, Si Qi signed an agreement with He'an officials with his advisors, agreeing to lend Chengzhou's food preparations to He'an to tide over the difficulties, and return the food that He'an had picked up when He'an had enough energy in the future .

Siqi's main guiding ideology is "no interest, no deadline, and return according to the agreement after the situation in He'an improves", and the rest is left to the advisers themselves.

Chang Wang has always been a man of faith, and now the situation here is really not good, so Si Qi is not worried that Chang Wang will not keep his word, but is more worried about the situation in He'an and the surrounding counties.

It is better to teach people to fish than to give them fish, and allocating food for disaster relief is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. This year, the weather has improved a lot since the beginning of the year. Siqi asked Chang Wang to take himself and Liu Yun and others to the fields to see the crops and harvest. He told Chang Wang that the conditions in He'an were much better than Chengping's, but the income per mu was not even half that of Chengping's, and the crop planning in the field was unreasonable.

Chang Wang was even more worried by what Si Qi said, staring straight at Si Qi, waiting for her next words.

Facing such King Chang, Si Qi was embarrassed to be a fool, and directly pushed Liu Yun to the front, and said to King Chang: "Now the most famous and accomplished agronomist selected by the people of Chengping is my father. Why don't you just let him stay and give some pointers."

Chang Wang was very surprised when he heard Si Qi's words.

I really didn't expect Liu Yun to be able to grow so much fame in farming.

He has always believed that he, like Liu Yun, has no special talents, but is respected by everyone because of his status and status as a clan member of the Han family.

I used to think that everyone was the same trash, but I didn't expect that the other party had quietly become a master, astonishing the world, which made Chang Wang feel a little unbelievable.

Liu Yun put on airs: "It's not impossible to leave advice, but the name needs to be changed. Don't call me King Li anymore, just call me Mr."

"From now on, shall we all call you Xiandi as 'Mr.'?" Chang Wang said rather uncomfortably, "It's really awkward to call you like this. I've been used to calling you Xiandi all these years, or... call you Xian Mister Brother?"

Si Qi stood aside, laughing until tears came out.

==

A few days later, Siqi received a letter from Liu Bei.

Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, who were on the rise in their careers, had some unpleasant quarrels, and had some other ideas about the piece of land that Liu Zhang controlled. Coupled with the defection of Fazheng and others, Liu Bei was more determined to replace Liu Zhang. psychology.

Liu Bei sent the letter to Chengping first, and then Chengping sent someone to deliver the letter to the Lord Wang who was on a business trip in He'an, and Si Qi received the letter from Liu Bei.

Liu Bei also came to ask for help.

Now that the war is about to start, Liu Bei lacks weapons, armor and horses, and wants to make a deal with Si Qi to purchase these materials in large quantities.

Siqi has been building the army very seriously these years, and Chengping has always been in a peaceful and stable environment, and there has been no war. Chengping has had some excess production capacity in the past few years, and indeed has a lot of spare power to help Liu Bei .

Liu Bei mentioned in his letter that his virtuous younger brother Liu Yun once said that Ah Ying often lamented the lack of good generals, and that he was lucky in this aspect. The former Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun now have a new recruit. Ma Chao, can be considered a lot of talent.

Liu Bei promised in the letter that the weapons and war horses and other materials provided by Ah Ying will be settled with Ah Ying at the negotiated market price in the future or exchanged for resources. After his side settles down, Ah Ying can also borrow Zhao Yun. They can use it for a few years, and if Ah Ying thinks it is suitable, they can also sign a long-term agreement.

Although Liu Bei did not explain why he borrowed these materials in the letter, Si Qi estimated that this may be Liu Bei's beginning to have some ideas about Liu Zhang's Yizhou.

Exchanging these excess production capacity for other resources and a Zhao Yun, this wave of business is not a loss.

Si Qi immediately wrote back to Liu Bei and readily agreed to the matter.
