Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Otherwise, Sun Quan wouldn't ask for Su Fei's head by name, and Su Fei wouldn't become close friends with a fierce general like Gan Ning, who has strong martial arts skills and a heroic spirit.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan asked with a smile: "General Su, there is no need to be polite. I also know your ability. Since you are willing to come to my navy, you can rest assured that this place is your home."

Su Fei glanced at the young and handsome Lu Yan, still feeling a little dazed.

Lu Yan didn't care about Su Fei's trance, and continued: "Xingba is now General Zhenwei, the commander of the navy; I will order you to be General Yokono, as Xingba's deputy, okay?"

Su Fei was a school lieutenant before, but now he has become a general of Zhonglang, which can be regarded as a promotion.Although it is not as good as the former commander of the Jiangxia Navy, at least it can be regarded as back on track now.

After hearing Lu Yan's appointment, Su Fei was overjoyed, and quickly clasped his fists to express his thanks: "Thank you Lu Hussar for your trust! Su Fei is willing to do his best for Prime Minister Cao and Lu Hussar, and he will do anything!"

Chapter 419 Are you Sima Yi relying on me?

Gan Ning and Su Fei brought back more than 10 people, but it was far from the [-] people Lu Yan expected.

However, it is indeed difficult for Gan Ning to recruit 10 people alone, and it may be too reluctant to train [-] sailors as soon as he comes.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yan raised his head and said to Gan Ning: "Xingba, you have more than 5 men under your command. I can write to Cao Gong to request that some soldiers who understand water skills be sent from the coast of Youzhou and Xuzhou. Enough for [-] people to train."

Fifty thousand troops is no longer a small number, and Su Fei's heart trembled slightly with excitement.

Gan Ning was still stable, but he still couldn't hide his excitement, saying: "I listen to the master, let's train these 5 people into qualified sailors first!"

Lu Yan nodded, and said: "The news came from the shipyard yesterday that the first warship has been successfully built, and it will be launched for testing tomorrow..."

"Really!" Gan Ning was surprised and delighted, and even interrupted Lu Yan unintentionally.After reacting, Gan Ning quickly made amends and said, "I'm sorry sir, I'm in a hurry..."

"It's okay, you go back today and spend time with Xiaoxue, and follow me to the shipyard to observe the new warship tomorrow."

Gan Ning clasped his fists and shouted loudly: "The last general takes orders!!!"

At this time, Lu Yan looked at Su Fei again, and said, "Su Zhonglang, you should rest in the station for now, and go to the shipyard with Xingba tomorrow."

Su Fei didn't expect that he would be able to participate, and immediately replied with joy: "Ah! Thank you Lu Hussar for your trust!"

After making arrangements for Gan Ning and Su Fei, Lu Yan hurried back to Chen Liucheng.

Tomorrow it is not only Gan Ning and Su Fei who will come to see the new warship; Cao Cao, Cao Ang, Emperor Liu Xie, and even Tai Chang Yang Biao and other court officials will also go to observe it.

There are too many people, so in order to ensure the smooth launch of the warship and the safety of all the bosses, Lu Yan had to make the layout and arrangements of the scene in advance...Of course, Lu Yan still came up with more ideas, As for the specific arrangement and layout, Zhuge Liang had to run errands.

......

When Lu Yan returned to the office of the Naval Administration, he was surprised to find that there were three young people in the office.

Seeing Lu Yan coming in, Zhuge Liang, who was seated first under the main seat, got up and saluted, "I've seen you sir!"

The other three also stood up with Zhuge Liang and said: "My subordinate Wang Ming (Li Ke) sees Lu Huqi!"

"Student Sima Yi, I met Mr.!"

"Ok?"

There are two official positions called Lu Yan, and they should be transferred from other places.

As for this..."Sima Yi???"

When Lu Yan heard this name, he was stunned for a moment.

In fact, Sima Yi has reached the level of graduating from Taiyuan Academy in the past two years, and can become an official.Even Cao Cao, who wanted to cherish talents, personally ordered several times to enlist Sima Yi to serve as an official in his prime minister's mansion.

However, Sima Yi has never responded to Lao Cao's enlistment, and he just refuses to move in the Imperial Academy.

Lu Yan remembered that Sima Yi had rejected Lao Cao's conquest several times in history...even in order to make Lao Cao give up, he even pretended to be paralyzed and lay on the bed for half a month.

There are many sayings that Sima Yi rejected Cao Cao. Some say that Sima Yi did not want to serve Cao Cao after the eunuch because of his literati integrity.

But the problem is that Sima Yi's father, Sima Fang, and his eldest brother, Sima Lang, are both officials in the court.It is said that he is working for the Han court, but in fact he is not working for Boss Cao.

Besides, Sima Yi can endure what ordinary people can't bear, and he can even wear women's clothes with pleasure, and the literary integrity can't stand up to him at all...

It is also said that the Sima family does not want to put all their eggs in one basket...Anyway, there are different opinions, and there are various opinions.

It doesn't mean who is right and who is wrong, but in Lu Yan's view, this Sima Yi may just be afraid of Cao Cao.

Whether it is Cao Cao or Sima Yi, their insight into the human heart and human nature is far beyond comparison.

Cao Cao can see Sima Yi's talent and ambition, and Sima Yi can naturally see Cao Cao's thirst for talents and ruthless suspicion.

Instead of working under Cao Cao with fear and fear of being killed by Cao Cao all the time, it is better to simply refuse and feel at ease.

There is also a reason why Sima Yi dared to reject Cao Cao so resolutely and was not afraid of Cao Cao killing him in a fit of anger.

In the third year of Xiping, Cao Cao was promoted as Xiaolian and came to Luoyang, the capital, as an official.Not long after that, Cao Cao was appointed by the Eastern Han Dynasty as the northern captain of Luoyang on the recommendation of Sima Fang.Moreover, Sima Fang not only has the kindness to recommend Cao Cao, but also his immediate boss. As the son of Cao Cao's "benefactor", Sima Yi does have the confidence to be "tough" with Cao Cao.

But no matter what, Lu Yan never expected that this old Cao Sima Yi, who should not be recruited in every possible way, would appear in the General Administration of the Navy, which dogs don't want to care about!

With a flash of thought, Lu Yan said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, Wang Ming and Li Ke have just arrived at our Naval Administration, you can take them to familiarize themselves with the environment first."

Zhuge Liang understood Lu Yan's intention as soon as he heard it.

To be honest, the moment he first met Sima Yi, a feeling similar to "entanglement", "opponent" and "old enemy" emerged in his heart.This made Zhuge Liang, who had always been a bit self-confident and self-confident, a little uncomfortable.

"Here!" Zhuge Liang bowed his hands and went out with his two new colleagues.

After Zhuge Liang and the two newcomers walked away, Lu Yan sat down on the main seat and stared at Sima Yi with great interest.

Perhaps it was because he felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. After examining his appearance, Sima Yi cupped his hands and asked, "Dare to ask Lu Hussar, is the student inappropriate?"

Lu Yan did not answer Sima Yi's words, but asked: "Zhongda, Mr. Cao has levied you several times, such as the prime minister's mansion, and you should not have done so. Why did you appear in our Navy General Administration this time?"

The implication is that you don't even give the boss face, but you want to come to my small department, do you have ulterior motives?

Sima Yi naturally heard the warning in Lu Yan's words, which was actually one of the reasons why he came to the Naval General Administration.

From the moment he entered Taixue, Sima Yi had been faintly aware of Lu Yan's rejection of him.

In the eyes of ordinary people, for Lu Yan who always likes to support newcomers, Sima Yi, who is as talented as Zhuge Liang, should also be favored by Lu Yan, but in fact Lu Yan has never actively contacted Sima Yi.

Lu Yan's attitude confused Sima Yi for a long time. For this reason, he even rejected Cao Cao's enlistment, just to understand why Lu Yan "seemed him differently" alone.

Although many thoughts flashed through his mind, the expression on Sima Yi's face remained unchanged.

To Lu Yan's question, Sima Yi cupped his hands and replied: "It's not that the students don't want to be an official, but they just don't want to enter the government's step-by-step work...Students want to see more new things, and looking at the court and the whole world, only Mr. You are here to let the students get what they want!"

"Oh! Is this because of me?" Lu Yan sneered in his heart, of course he would not believe Sima Yi's nonsense.

However, Lu Yan still can't think of Sima Yi's real intentions. He thought to himself: "Anyway, he is not a threat now. I take him by my side and observe from time to time. On the contrary, I can feel more at ease..."

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang's figure suddenly appeared in Lu Yan's mind.

Lu Yan couldn't help the corner of his mouth curled up, and murmured: "It's all right now, the two people who fell in love and killed each other in history have become colleagues who can't see up and down... I don't know what kind of sparks this pair of living enemies will create in the future .”

Chapter 4 Twenty

Although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Sima Yi's gourd, as an old player who had been in a high position for several years, Lu Yan was not afraid of this newcomer who had just entered the officialdom.Besides, the current Sima Yi can't afford to usurp the world at all.

"Since you want to stay, then you should also serve as a military commander in the Navy. It just so happens that Kong Ming is a bit busy right now, and you can also share some of the pressure for him when you arrive."

Lu Yan naturally recognized Sima Yi's ability, and he was one of the few characters who could give Zhuge Liang a headache.

Sima Yi, who thought he would be kicked out, did not expect that he would stay in the navy so smoothly, but this also made Sima Yi even more puzzled, "Lu Yan left me so easily? Then he What happened to the rejection of me in the past?"

Can't figure it out...

Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it for the time being. Anyway, you have already stayed, and you will have a chance to find out Lu Yan's true thoughts about him in the future.

After making up his mind, Sima Yi cupped his hands and saluted, "Students are at your disposal, sir!"

At this moment, Zhuge Liang, who took the two newcomers out to "familiarize with the environment", came back "just in time".

Seeing Zhuge Liang, Wang Ming, and Li Ke coming in, Lu Yan said, "Wang Ming and Li Ke, both of you are in charge of history; Wang Ming, you assist Kong Ming, and Li Ke, you assist Zhong Da."

Speaking of this, Lu Yan paused for a moment and introduced: "Oh, by the way, after the navy starts training, the work must be complicated and arduous. Zhong Da was also appointed by me as the commander of the army just now, and he will be mainly responsible for the side of the navy station in the future. I will share part of the work for you, Kong Ming."

Zhuge Liang didn't show any objection, he still saluted meticulously, and replied: "Here."

Wang Ming and Li Ke were squeezed out by their colleagues and had no choice but to come to the navy.

They didn't have too much expectation, they just hoped to continue to work in the government and receive a salary that could support their families.

After arranging the responsibilities of several people, Lu Yan suddenly said: "The naval division was first built, and I don't want to draw too much attention. Therefore, I will not report your position as a historian."

Lu Yan's words dimmed the light in the eyes of Wang Ming and Li Ke.

According to the system of the Han court, the rank of historians ranged from [-] to [-] shi.However, there was an unwritten rule in the imperial court that the chief official appointed the chief official himself, and those who reported the appointment after the appointment, the official rank of the government official could be up to four hundred or three hundred stones; those who did not report, usually one hundred stones.In other words, the salaries of the two of them have been defaulted to one hundred shi.

"It's bitter...a hundred stone salary...how can I explain to my wife when I get home!"

"That's all... at least I still have an official status, at worst, let my wife's natal family help me a little more..."

The two couldn't help but lament in their hearts. Although they had prepared for the worst, they never expected that it would be worse than what they expected...

They are not from aristocratic families, but from humble backgrounds.A salary of one hundred shi is not enough to drink the northwest wind.

This salary is not to mention compared with the craftsmen who will be prisons, even ordinary people who do odd jobs for the government are better than this.

Of course Lu Yan knew about this, and he would never treat those who worked for him badly.

"The salary is only one of your incomes. In the future, you can also get some dividends from part of the profits of the Naval Administration."

When Wang Ming and Li Ke heard the words, they suddenly felt doubts, "The Naval Administration is still profitable??"

"What do you mean by dividends?"

Ignoring their confusion, Lu Yan said to Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi: "Of course, Kong Ming and Zhong Da, you also have a share. Not only you, but every soldier and general in the navy will have a corresponding dividend."

Although I don't understand it well, everyone still understands the meaning.

This is the General Administration of the Navy, where does the profit come from?

Zhuge Liang has been in charge of the affairs of the General Administration of the Navy, and he actually has some guesses about it.

Lu Yan wanted to test Zhuge Liang, and also wanted to take the opportunity to show him how good he is at Sima Yi, so he asked, "Kong Ming, you have been taking care of the affairs of the Naval Administration. think?"

Zhuge Liang glanced at Sima Yi, and thought that Lu Yan wanted to test himself, and let him show some ability in front of everyone, so as to calm down his situation.

"Mr. Hui, Liang does have some guesses...but please correct me if there are any mistakes or omissions."

"Well, just say it."

After Zhuge Liang organized some speech, he said: "Because of the establishment of the Naval Administration, merchants have established water caravans one after another, trying to replace part of the land transportation with water transportation.

This is because the merchants are optimistic about the ability of the Han Navy to attack and suppress the water bandits in the Central Plains and Hebei, so they dare to bet their cargo on the navy.

Since the navy cleared up the water bandits for the merchants to ensure their safety, it is natural and reasonable to charge some protection fees for certain sections of the road. "

Wang Ming and Li Ke couldn't help but nodded in agreement. It's normal for businessmen to pay some protection fees in this day and age.

Sima Yi remained silent, did not show any facial expressions, and still listened attentively, waiting for Zhuge Liang's more "guesses".

Sure enough, Zhuge Liang paused for a moment and continued: "I also noticed before that when the navy was building warships, they were still developing a huge cargo ship."

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but look up at Lu Yan. After all, this already involved some secrets, so he naturally had to ask Lu Yan's consent before saying it.

Seeing Zhuge Liang looking at him, Lu Yan nodded slightly to indicate that he could continue talking.

After obtaining Lu Yan's consent, Zhuge Liang continued: "The structure of a cargo ship is mostly similar to that of a warship... I made a bold guess based on what my husband said, a warship that can sail in the sea... ...Sir, this is to use the navy's long-distance voyage ability to carry out maritime trade!"

After hearing Zhuge Liang's guess, Lu Yan couldn't help clapping his hands and laughed loudly: "As expected of Wolong, he guessed my plan for the future navy just based on observation."

"Sea trade!" Although Wang Ming and Li Ke were a little surprised, they didn't think it was outrageous.

After all, Dahan has already established the Maritime Silk Road long ago, that is, the sea route that connects the Indian Ocean with the South China Sea as the center.

Although Dahan didn't pay much attention to the line of maritime trade, sea trade has indeed brought enough benefits to Dahan.

Moreover, Lu Yan is well aware of the huge profits of sea trade, so in Lu Yan's view, reopening sea trade is imperative.

When it came to maritime trade, Sima Yi finally had a slight change on his face.

Lu Yan keenly caught Sima Yi's expression, so he asked, "What's Zhongda's opinion?"

Sima Yi was called by Lu Yan, so he had no choice but to step forward and replied: "Mr. Hui, the student is new here, so I dare not make more comments."

This guy is really as stable as an old dog.

Sima Yi didn't want to say it, and Lu Yan couldn't force him either.

After Zhuge Liang's conjecture was confirmed by Lu Yan, Wang Ming and Li Ke's spirits obviously improved a lot.After all, with more income, life at home can be easier.

Seeing that things were almost done and it was getting late, Lu Yan stood up and looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Kong Ming, take your colleagues to get acquainted and inspect later, and there must be no mistakes in the trial of the battleship tomorrow."

"Here!" Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Wang Ming, and Li Ke answered with cupped hands.
