My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

Zhao Yun put down the basket and said solemnly.

When he came out of the mountain in his early years, he believed that Gongsun Zan was the benevolent government. He followed him for several years, but found that Gongsun Zan's character gradually became more ferocious, and even killed Liu Yu.

Just when his eldest brother passed away, he chose to retire, and this retreat lasted for several years.

"Then you have found the right place. Duke Chu is honest, fair and strict, and knows how to use people well. As long as you have the ability, Duke Chu will definitely use you."

Hearing that he defected, the old man was also happy.

Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows, not wanting to get entangled in these things, and asked: "Old man, you haven't said that I just mentioned the issue of Duke Chu's extensive labor labor!"

"Hey, little friend, you don't know something. There is no corvee in Yangzhou, not even a day. The laborers here are paid by the day, and they are in charge of food and housing,"

The old man said with a smile on his face.

"There is no corvee? And wages are paid?" Zhao Yun was astonished, he was dumbfounded, and he was really frightened.

"Not only is there no corvee, Duke Chu has also abolished all taxes except the land tax. As for the construction of roads and waterways, it is all for the sake of our common people,"

"Let's not talk about these troubled times, even in prosperous times, we ordinary people dare not think about it, so whoever dares to say that Duke Chu is not a word, we ordinary people will be the first to let him go."

There was a heartfelt smile on the old man's face.

"???"

Zhao Yun froze in place, his mother was exempted from other taxes except the land tax?Be good, those who don't know think this is the most prosperous year.

No wonder this person reacted like this before.

It's because my layout is too small! !

"I was being rude before, but I didn't expect Duke Chu to be so good for the country and the people." Zhao Yun apologized, but this time he was sincere. He had thought that Chu Feng might be superior,

But what he didn't expect was that this Chu Feng would treat the people like this. After all, he is a descendant of the Yuan family, a representative of the family, how could he coexist?

"It's okay, those who don't know are not to be blamed. But let me tell you, in Yangzhou, there is one household counting as one household, and almost every household has Chu Gong's longevity tablet."

"I remember one time, there was a young man in the village who was dissatisfied with Duke Chu and said a few bad things. His mother broke his leg and wanted to be kicked out of the house."

"Go and vote for him, that's right." The old man swore that Chu Feng was highly praised by the people of Yangzhou. How could they not respect this kind of boss who serves the country and the people.

The corner of Zhao Yun's mouth twitched, feeling a little emotional.

He even murmured in his heart, every household gave Chu Feng a tablet of longevity?This is too exaggerated, even in the wealthy Jizhou, there are not many people who recognize Yuan Shao.

"Old man, thank you very much!" After dumping the soil, Zhao Yun thanked and left. He knew that Chu Feng should be in Xuzhou now.

That being the case, I can just go to Hefei to have a look.

Let's see how Hefei would be without Chu Feng. By the way, he will look for an opportunity to join the army. He believes that with his own ability, not to mention being appointed as a general, at least one can be unified.

At that time, he was the commander of the cavalry under Gongsun Zan, but he and Gongsun Zan had a general friendship, and his followers were limited, and Liu Bei was also the cavalry general who followed Liu Bei.

In history, he completely voted for Liu Bei afterwards, but he has not been reused. On the one hand, after the Battle of Guandu, Liu Beitun and Xinye have not fought much in eight years.

The key point is that Liu Bei has no cavalry.

And he is not Guan Zhang, even if he has soldiers, he can't train them, they all train Guan Zhang, after that there will be the battle of Chibi, and then the battle of entering Shu.

All in all, Liu Bei doesn't have a good stage for him to display, especially Zhao Yun is good at commanding cavalry, and Liu Bei just lacks cavalry the most.

"drive!"

Immediately, Zhao Yun rode his horse and went straight to Hefei.

----

At noon, outside the city of Hefei,

Shishui is only tens of miles away from Hefei, and it takes more than half an hour to arrive at a galloping horse.

At this moment, looking at the majestic and towering city in the distance, Zhao Yun was amazed. Is there such a towering city in this world?

It seems that even Yecheng can't compare with it,

The key point is that the city is a little bit big, and I don't know how many miles wide it is.

And the Shishui River outside the city has been widened by an unknown amount, and there are densely packed boats on the water. There are businessmen coming and going, there are young ladies from aristocratic families, and there are also fishermen fishing on the water.

As for the dock, it is probably the largest, busiest and most orderly one he has ever seen, with countless boatmen docking to carry goods,

Some move down, some move up.

"What a bustling place!" Zhao Yun sighed as he stood on the road that was big enough for sixteen horse-drawn carriages to run side by side.

He had vaguely heard before that Yangzhou was ravaged by Yuan Shu, with bones everywhere, but he didn't expect that it would be taken over by Chu Feng for two or three years, and he would immediately take on a completely new look.

As far as this economy is concerned, in time, even Chang'an and Luoyang can't compare to it. It is simply a miracle, which makes Zhao Yun even more curious about what kind of person this Chu Feng is.

Because there are too many rumors about him in the world,

Some say he is wise, some say he is treacherous, some say he is benevolent, some say he kills innocent people indiscriminately, and most importantly, it is said that he is known as a bloodbath.

Someone named him the number one general in the world,

Zhao Yun prided himself on his martial prowess, especially since he learned the Seven Detector Pan Snake Spear Technique this time, his martial arts skills have been greatly improved, and he really wants to compete with Chu Feng.

Ready to enter the city, the guard stopped him.

"This strong man, do you dare to ask if there is a way to guide you?" The city guard general glanced at Zhao Yun, and at a glance he saw that this person was a Lianjiazi, and immediately bowed his hands.

"Zhao Yun, a real native of Changshan, Jizhou, came here for the first time, and there was no way to guide him, so he didn't know how to enter the city." Zhao Yun said truthfully.

"I don't think you are a refugee, so I don't know what happened so far?" Ya Jiang looked him up and down and asked.

"I've heard that Mr. Chu is benevolent. He asked himself how capable he is, so he came here to join the army, hoping to get a job!" Zhao Yun clasped his fists and explained.

Yajiang pondered slightly: "Come with me!"

Obviously, he could see that Zhao Yun's background was not bad, and this kind of person obviously couldn't start as a soldier, especially since he rode a war horse by himself, at least he could be a junior.

Lead the horse and follow into the city,

Following behind, Zhao Yun was also shocked by the scene in the city. What is the flow of people, this city perfectly embodies what is the flow of people at this moment.

All kinds of shops are full of beautiful things in eyes, selling all kinds of things.

This is mainly due to the peace of Yangzhou. Now, except for the family who became an official, the rest of the family are all taking refuge, and taking refuge in Yangzhou is a good place to take refuge.

Now because Chu Feng appears to be more stable,

In addition, Jingzhou is now raging with war, so that countless scribes have taken refuge here. Most of these are rich people. The purchase of real estate and gardens has increased Chu Feng's income a lot.

"It's really prosperous!" Zhao Yun sighed in his heart as he walked on the bluestone paved floor tiles.

Along the way, he met countless people, many of whom even put on new clothes, many of them were no longer sallow and emaciated, and many of them began to buy things.

On this street, food is the most, followed by all kinds of useful things. Craftsmen weave some bamboo baskets for sale, and some make some tables, chairs and stools.

Some caught some game, and some made some good birds and dogs. There were also a lot of delicious pastries, and there were also a lot of chicken, duck and fish.

Of course, Zhao Yun's eyes were amazed by the squads of soldiers clad in strong, stubborn heads and their chests upright. This kind of spirit is definitely the best of the best.

Zhao Yun admitted that since entering Yangzhou, his cognition has been subverted time and time again. The goodness of Yangzhou can be seen with the naked eye, and the life of ordinary people is even more enjoyable.

What kind of person is this Chu Feng!

How could Yangzhou be so prosperous and prosperous in just two or three years?It's unbelievable, even Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, might not be able to do this, right?

Of course, what Chu Feng did was crazy,

Continuously supporting the common people, that is, increasing income and promoting consumption, coupled with controlling the lifeline of the economy by oneself, it is relatively handy to operate.

If this trend continues, it is estimated that Hefei will surpass Luoyang in the past two years, crush Xu Chu and Yecheng, and become the number one capital city.

After a while, he came to the general's residence in the city.

The tooth general said: "You wait for a while, I will report!"

Before Zhao Yun agreed, he saw Zhao Fan come out of the general's mansion in a hurry.

"General Zhao, this person intends to return to the lord. I saw that he is tall and powerful, and has some martial arts skills, so I brought it and prepared it for General Lu. Since General Zhao is here, I will hand it over to you, General!"

Tooth will hastily hand in hand.

"Well, you go down now!" Zhao Fan waved his hand, then looked at Zhao Yun, only to see that Zhao Yun was more than eight feet long, with a face like a crown of jade, but full of heroic spirit.

And with a sword on his waist and a gun hanging on his saddle, he is obviously a practicing family.As for those resolute eyes, it is not simple at first glance, this kind of momentum cannot be pretended.

"Have you ever served in the army?" Zhao Fan asked.

"I followed Gongsun Zan, served as cavalry general, military marquis, and commanded two hundred cavalry, but that was several years ago." Zhao Yun replied with clasped fists.

"Not bad, then are you going to take up any other official position under my master's account?" Zhao Fanfa asked.

"I've heard that those who are capable under Duke Chu's account live there, but those who are not talented, want to be the generals of the five departments." Zhao Yun said sonorously, one is equal to two songs, and one song has 200 people.

The five departments, or 2000 people, are combat establishments.

"A general with 2000 men? Hehe, it's interesting. But you also said that I only use talents. Since you have this idea, let me see if you have the qualifications!"

"If you can survive 2000 rounds in my hands, let alone [-] people, I will let you be my lieutenant general, and you can manage [-] people with me." Zhao Fan said confidently.

Chapter 256 Zhao Fan: Grandma never beat her!

======================================

Chapter 256 Zhao Fan: Grandma never beat her!

"Survive over [-] times to be your lieutenant general?"

Zhao Yun replied, with a bit of surprise in his words.

"That's right, but few ordinary people can survive [-] years under my hands." Zhao Fan chuckled, still quite confident.

Under Chu Feng's command, his martial strength is at least among the top three, so it depends on his appearance and handsomeness, so give him a chance, Zhao Fan mainly wants to accept him as a lieutenant general.

"What if you are lucky enough to win one and a half strokes?" Zhao Yun asked modestly, fists clasped.

"Win one and a half strokes? Haha, it's interesting. Not many people in the army can beat me, but since you said it, as long as you can beat me with one and a half strokes,"

"I will personally help you to plead in front of the lord to let you unite the army alone. Didn't you serve as the chief cavalry before? As long as you can win, you will be appointed as the general of the cavalry, commanding at least [-] fine cavalry."

Zhao Fan waved his hand with a bit of pride.

However, he admired Zhao Yun even more, and dared to make his own request. This is what a warrior should have, but he doesn't know if he has the ability.

Hearing Zhao Fan's affirmation, Zhao Yun was slightly excited.

Five thousand fine riders, what is this concept?Five thousand fine cavalry is equivalent to at least ten thousand infantry, or even more, and cavalry generals are generally cronies,

If you can be a cavalry general, it will be a worthwhile trip.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said sonorously, "Changshan Zhao Zilong, dare to ask the general for advice."

"Don't be too modest, since you and I are both gunmen, let's ride and fight, and let me see your real skills!" Zhao Fan laughed heartily.

He instinctively felt that Zhao Yun's self-confidence did not appear to be faking, and his temperament was also very good. He was not a reckless man, so he might be able to pick up a treasure today.

"Please!" Zhao Yun signaled.

Immediately, Zhao Fan asked someone to bring the war horse, and the two did not change places, and directly competed at the gate of the General's Mansion, the open space outside the mansion was large enough.

Facing each other from a distance, the two raised their guns respectively.

At this moment, the momentum of the two of them became fierce.

They are all like a long spear, and its momentum seems to pierce the sky.

"drive!"

The two of them felt sorry for each other, and they all applauded and cheered.

Immediately, the two good horses stepped on their four hooves and went straight to each other.

In a blink of an eye, the two approached.

Zhao Fan relied on his superior force and asked Zhao Yun to attack first. After all, he mainly wanted to see how Zhao Yun's martial arts were, and Zhao Yun also saw Zhao Fan's intentions.

Immediately, go all out to attack.

The silver spear in his hand threw out a few spear flowers and stabbed directly, the speed was extremely fast.

With just one shot, Zhao Fan became dignified. The speed of this move was so fast, not even slow at all. This person is definitely a master.
