Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chenliu County Sheriff's Mansion.

Lu Yan is now the governor of Yuzhou, and the official position of Chenliu County Sheriff was awarded to Liu Bei by Cao Cao.

In the past, Liu Bei's governor of Yuzhou was fictitious, with a name but no reality. He didn't even take office officially for a day.

After changing from governor of Yuzhou to prefect of Chenliu, Liu Bei's official position seemed to be reduced, but in fact he really grasped the real power, and he was completely integrated into the Cao Group.

Chenliu is the birthplace of the Cao family, the foundation of the rear, the center of industry, commerce, and agriculture. It is the heart of Lao Cao and the treasure of Lu Yan.Handing over Chenliu County to Liu Bei shows that Cao Cao values ​​and recognizes Liu Bei.

Liu Bei did not disappoint Lu Yan and Cao Cao's trust in him.

Since taking office, Liu Bei has been conscientious and careful.

If Mao Jie, Yi Ji and others hadn't stopped him, Liu Bei might have rolled up like 007.

Although the two brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not around, Liu Bei's family members have already received Chen Liu. Now he has a good career and family, and he is living a fulfilling and comfortable life.

During the war in Hebei, a large number of refugees flooded into Yanzhou across the Yellow River.

Although Dongjun, Taishan County and Henan Yin shared part of the burden, tens of thousands of refugees still flooded into Chenliu County.

Mao Jie has now almost handed over all the work in his hands to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei is naturally required to handle many matters concerning the refugees.

After resettling tens of thousands of refugees in Chenliu County, Liu Bei finally deeply understood the good intentions of Lu Yan's series of policies in Chenliu County.

The land is all controlled by the government, and then uniformly distributed to refugees who are willing to settle down.

The tax will be halved within five years, and after five years of work, it will only be one tenth of the tax, and the land will be owned by the refugees themselves.There is a clear bottom line in this series of policies, that is, "lands cannot be traded without permission, and fields cannot be used as collateral!"

As a result, Liu Bei discovered that Chenliu County had no gentry to annex the land, nor did it have high taxes, and the refugees naturally adapted and recovered very quickly.

After being registered with the identity, the refugees became a member of the local common people.

When the common people lived and worked in peace and contentment, they supported local officials and the imperial court even more, and Liu Bei worked more and more vigorously and felt more and more fulfilled.

After reviewing today's case, Liu Bei said with emotion: "I, Liu Bei, used to have a heart to love the people, but no way to calm the people... Fortunately, I met Mr. later, and I have seen the world, and I can govern like this! Lu Huanqi What a genius, a genius!"

"Hey! If Mr. was born before the big Han fell apart, wouldn't the Han family not suffer from this catastrophe?"

"No...the misfortune of the family can never be broken or established. If it didn't coincide with the troubled times, I'm afraid even the husband can only look at the ocean and sigh?"

Liu Bei has thought a lot, and now he has a deeper understanding of the chronic diseases of the Han Dynasty, and understands the most fundamental reason for the collapse of the dynasty...

"I was born in the worst age, but it is also the best age!" Liu Bei stood up, looked at the heavy snow slowly falling outside, and muttered to himself: "I, Liu Bei, am really a three-year-old to witness the revival of the great man!" Lucky to be born!"

Just when Liu Bei's self-consciousness sublimated, Yiji's voice suddenly sounded outside the hall, "Brother Xuande, brother Xuande!"

"It's Uncle Ji!" Liu Bei greeted him with a smile, "What made you so anxious that you lost the most important demeanor?"

"Oh! Why do you care about manners? Tomorrow is Zhicai's big wedding day. Today we have to help him maintain his position!"

"Ah!" Liu Bei patted his forehead and said annoyedly, "I've been busy with work, and I forgot about this... Hurry up, hurry up!"

......

Xi Zhicai's house is in Xuchang City.

Due to the early death of Xi Zhicai's parents, he had little contact with the rest of the family.

Since Xi Zhicai defected to Cao Cao, except for occasional gatherings with Lu Yan, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and other friends, he has been living by himself all the time.Now that he is married, as his friend and colleague, he naturally has to help.

Yiji is quite good at etiquette, so Xi Zhicai's wedding was handled by him alone.

Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Liu Bei, Han Hao and others were helping Xi Zhicai with chores and receiving guests.

However, what surprised Guo Jia was, "Zhicai is getting married tomorrow, why haven't I seen Lu Changsheng?"

The next day.

Almost overnight, half of Xuchang City was decorated with lights and festoons.

The people in Xuchang City were pleasantly surprised, but they all came to their senses one after another, "I'm afraid there is a big man who is going to get married!"

Cao Cao contributed the extremely luxurious carriage that Cao Hong gave him as a wedding car for Xi Zhicai.

Then, Chen Dao and Huang Xu, two and a half adults, and a hundred elite soldiers, wearing red cloaks and bright silver armor, followed Xi Zhicai to a mansion to pick up their relatives.

The Deng family is far away in Xinye, and Xinye is Liu Biao's territory, so it is naturally impossible for Xi Zhicai to go to Xinye to pick up his relatives.

The bride actually came to Xuchang a long time ago, but she has been renting in a small house.

The bridal-receiving team was mighty, and the welcoming soldiers followed behind the horse-drawn carriage. Their majestic bodies, orderly queues and paces all showed the supreme demeanor of a big man.

Along the way, there were servants and entourages who distributed wedding candy to the people on both sides of the road, and the children even had wedding money. For a while, the whole city of Xuchang was filled with festive atmosphere.

Xi Zhicai paraded through the streets in his groom's attire, full of joy and gratitude to all his friends and colleagues.

It's just that, from time to time, he would look back or look around, as if he was looking for someone.

"Where's that Changsheng guy??? Could it be that he's really forgotten again?" Guo Jia, who was following the wedding reception team, became a little anxious.

From last night to now, Lu Yan has not appeared. If Lu Yan was absent on such an important occasion, Xi Zhicai would be sad for the rest of his life.

"Here!"

"Go to the house where the bride is!"

Xizhi was Cao Cao's first true mastermind. He followed Cao Cao to conquer the South and North, and never complained; Xizhi was one of the great helpers for Cao Cao's rise, and his weight in Cao Cao's heart Always heavy.

Moreover, Xi Zhicai has an easy-going personality, never cares about fame and fortune, and gets along very well with all colleagues.

Therefore, for Xi Zhicai's big wedding, Cao Cao's advisers and generals and the major families almost all sent people to attend the wedding, and the worst ones also sent people to congratulate and give gifts.

In front of the bride's house, Yiji began to sing...

After the whole set, not to mention Xi Zhicai, even Guo Jia, who was standing on the sidelines watching the ceremony, felt numb.

Just as the bride was about to be taken out of the house, there was a sudden commotion outside the crowd, "Wait a minute! Wait a moment!"

"Who is so rude? He even interrupted other people's wedding!"

"Yeah, what an uneducated guy, I want to beat him up!"

"Could it be... kidnapping?"

"No way, who dares to snatch the relatives of such a big man...do you want to die?"

The crowd of onlookers was separated by a group of soldiers. Lu Yan, Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan, Tai Shici, Dian Wei and others who came back specially appeared together!

"Fuck!!! It's Lu Huqi! There are also Zhao Zilong, Xiahou Ziheng, Taishi Ziyi, and General Dianwei!"

"The one who said he was going to beat them up just now? Hurry up!"

"Uh... this should be for cheering, not for snatching... I still won't go up..."

Chapter 354 Fireworks, and Business Opportunities

After Lu Yan appeared, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly had a small climax.

Not for anything else, just because Lu Yan's way of appearing at this time clearly intends to cause trouble!

Guo Jia ran to Lu Yan and complained, "You finally showed up... When did they arrive?"

"We arrived the day before yesterday, and Mr. Cao notified us one month in advance." Zhao Yun explained to Guo Jia.

Since I came back a long time ago, why didn't I see anyone?

"Then where have you been these two days?" Guo Jia asked again.

"You'll know later, get out of the way!"

Seeing Guo Jia's endless questions, Lu Yan stretched out his hand and pulled Guo Jia aside, and then said, "Hurry up, divide the fireworks tubes!"

It turns out that the two days when Lu Yan, Zhao Yun and others disappeared, they actually went to the workshop to work with the craftsmen to make fireworks tubes day and night.

The outside of the fireworks tube is a thick and long stick.

There is an air storage tank inside the cylinder, which contains compressed air, and a simple valve on the cylinder.The valve is connected to the paper tube with flowers on it, and the valve can be opened by pulling the outer thread, and the high-pressure air can spray out the fireworks.

Since it is difficult to produce compressed air and manpower is tight, Lu Yancai found these generals and used artificial movement to produce compressed air...

People are always curious about new things.

Seeing that Lu Yan came up with something new, not only the common people, but even the emperor Liu Xie who had been watching the excitement in the attic by the street, as well as Empress Fu and Concubine Cao were all aroused curiosity.

"You say, what the hell is Lu Yan trying to do?" Liu Xie asked curiously.

Empress Fu thought for a while, and replied: "Lu Hussar always has fantastic ideas, and my concubines really can't think of them."

"Let's not waste our brains guessing, we'll find out later..."

Holding a firework tube in one hand, Lu Yan ran to Guo Jia and handed him one, saying, "Take it, and give Zhicai a good spray later."

"Spray???" Guo Jia took the firework tube in a daze, and murmured, "How to spray? What can this thing spray? If it's used to smoke people, it should feel good..."

Yiji looked at Lu Yan eagerly, seeing that the auspicious time is coming soon, have you finished all your troubles, old man?

Seeing Yiji's view, Lu Yan nodded slightly to indicate that he could continue.

But Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan, Tai Shici, Dian Wei and others had long been divided into two rows, pointing the fireworks tube obliquely to the sky.

Guo Jia turned his head to look at Lu Yan's movements, and followed suit in a decent manner.

At this time, with Yi Ji's shout, Xi Zhicai and the bride finally came out!

As soon as Xi Zhicai went out, he saw Lu Yan wearing a blue and white scribe shirt, and the joy in his heart was almost uncontrollable.

Lu Yan watched Xi Zhicai walking towards the passage formed by them, when Xi Zhicai came in front of him, he suddenly grinned and said, "Happy newlyweds!!!"

"Oh!"

Lu Yan pulled the valve, and a moderate sound suddenly sounded.

With the bang of the fireworks tube, petals burst out of the tube!

In an instant, the colorful petals filled the sky above the heads of Xi Zhicai and Xi Niang!

Xi Zhicai and the bride were startled by the sudden noise at first, but as the petals fluttered down, the people around suddenly screamed and boiled!

"Wow!!! So beautiful!!"

"My God! This is too beautiful!"

"Ahh! I will use this when I get married in the future! I want this!"

......

Following Lu Yan's actions, Zhao Yun and others also shouted "Happy Newly Married!"

"Peng! Peng! Peng!"

With a bang, the sky turned into a sea of ​​flowers again!

Huang Zhong did not participate in this action, and he thought it was not suitable for him to engage in these activities at his own age.

The daughter Huang Wudie beside her looked at the petals falling from the sky with her eyes full of stars, and asked Huang Zhong in a slightly nympho: "Father, if my daughter gets married in the future, she can also use this..."

"Firework tube." Huang Zhong replied lovingly, and then said with a smile: "Of course it is available. And this thing will be mass-produced soon, I believe it will be easy to buy in the future. Our sir, what a wonderful idea , has to be admirable."

"Ah! Uncle Lu invented it again? How does he know so many things!"

"Hehe... Mister's wisdom is as deep as the ocean, and ordinary people can't fathom it..."

"Oh..." Huang Wudie no longer struggled, but looked at the bride and groom surrounded by flower petal rain in the center of the venue, "These flowers are so beautiful!"

"Eh? Where are the flowers coming from this winter?!" Huang Wudie came to her senses instantly and asked Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong grinned and said, "Didn't I tell you that Mr. Wisdom is as deep as an ocean... In order to prepare these firework tubes for now, Mr. ruined all the flowers in the greenhouse... What a crime."

"???" Although Huang Wudie couldn't understand, she knew that if Lu Yan said it, it wouldn't be so strange.

In the attic, Liu Xie, Empress Fu and Concubine Cao stared at the petals all over the sky with their eyes wide open.

"Look, Your Majesty, this is really beautiful!" Concubine Cao's eyes were already filled with flowers.

"Your Majesty, once this item is released, future weddings will become more festive and beautiful."

"That's right... that guy Lu Changsheng may have to make a fortune again..." Liu Xie said enviously, but the content of his words seemed to be different from what Empress Fu and Concubine Cao meant.

The common people are still immersed in the shock and beauty brought by the fireworks, but the businessmen in Xudu are already ready to move.

Think about it, if every family can use this firecrackers when they get married in the future, what a market it will be!

And it's winter, Lu Yan can produce so many flowers, there are probably many business opportunities that can be tapped!

The bride boarded the carriage, and then went to Xi Zhicai's mansion.
