Chapter 204 Xi Yu: Are you going to resign? Great, it’s a deal!

When Tao Qian led Xuzhou in his early years, he was actually a man who disliked poverty and loved wealth. As a Danyang sect, Tao Qian had a good relationship with the nobles. After gaining support, he attracted wealthy businessmen from the common people sect to obtain money.

Therefore, you can raise your own Danyang soldiers.

Later, when Danyang's army grew stronger, the nobles withdrew some of their support, resulting in the Danyang army being unable to grow. However, the far-sighted and talented people from poor families, after seeing the situation clearly, would not stay in Xuzhou and would rather go abroad.

Therefore, the talents in Xuzhou gradually became only those of the gentry.

Xi Yu settled the matter here, went back to the house, had a good sleep, and then discovered what it felt like to be a free man commanding troops in Xuzhou...

Seems pretty good!

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one can care about it, whatever you want to do depends on your ability, and there are no clan members like Cao family and Xiahou family to cause trouble.

Somewhat comfortable.

No wonder Sima Yi, who originally planned history...even if he endured prostatitis, he still had to endure a chance to go out and command troops.

…

The next day, as soon as the two Xiahou brothers left, Cao Bao surrendered to Xi Yu and received some standard military equipment hoarded by the supply camp. He was immediately overjoyed. All 2,500 people in Cao Bao's tribe received chainmail armor made by Shen Tie.

There are also hooks, sickles, spears and iron stirrups.

After discarding the cloth stirrups, I got iron stirrups that can exert more force when stepping on them, which are harder and stronger.

Chen Deng was immediately panicked. This incident meant that Xi Yu had mastered the Danyang soldiers, and Cao Ren's own troops must have followed the arrangements, so nothing would happen.

So in Chen Deng's mansion, the Confucian scholars who had been called to report in front of Xi Yu gathered together. Regardless of their age, these Confucian scholars were all people of the same mind as Chen Deng.

"Nowadays, Xuzhou's military and political affairs have been completely owned by Xi Fengyi, and Yuanlong has no way to get involved," said an old man named Chen Chong.

Chen Chong is a highly respected old man of the Chen clan, and is now the county magistrate.

Chen Deng said with a serious face: "Fortunately, the internal affairs are still under our own control. There are a large number of books among the gentry, and there are more than a hundred local officials. If they are dismissed in one fell swoop, it will definitely affect the stability of the entire Xuzhou.

"

"Yes, we only need to meet certain requirements from Mr. Xi, no matter how big or small, and then we can follow his instructions. And if we encounter something difficult to solve, or something that involves the fundamentals of our existence,

Son, just ignore it."

Another old man stroked his beard and smiled, still very confident.

"In Xuzhou, we have to check and balance each other. No matter how famous he is, he wants to control the three tribes as soon as he comes. It's a bit arrogant."

"It's just a pity that Liu Bei took Sun Qian and Mi Zhu away from the common people. These two people are really rich," Chen Deng sighed.

"Everyone, I just want to inform you here," Chen Gui also stood up at this moment. The person with the highest status, this Guangling official, has now gathered at the most critical barrier, Xiapi.

In order to defend the situation with 30,000 soldiers and horses.

"Listen to me, Xuzhou has not been occupied by anyone for many years, but have you ever seen Danyang soldiers surrender to others?"

At this age, Chen Gui's hair is already gray and his face is old, but the light emanating from his eyes is still quite strong. He continued to hit the ground with his crutch and said with his hands behind his back: "In the early years, Cao Cao's army fought with Tao Gong.

There is hatred and resentment, so even if Cao Ren pursues benevolent government, it seems that the Danyang soldiers are not willing to sincerely surrender."

"However, now that it's back to Xiyu, it seems that Cao Bao has no complaints."

Chen Gui snorted coldly and said: "Of course we can't do this. We can't let those children from poor families take the lead. If this happens, many years of operation will seem to be ruined."

"So, all you fellow villagers and celebrities in Xuzhou, why don't you go and resign together, making it difficult for the opera masters to continue and have to rely on us. Now it is Yuan Shu, the pseudo-emperor, who has usurped the Han Dynasty, and nothing can be changed.

At that time, Master Xi will definitely not do anything to us."

When the old man said this, many people nodded frequently.

There are more than 20 officials here, plus their relatives, friends, and celebrities who have not arrived, at least fifty or sixty. The local officials govern Xuzhou from Xiapi to Xiaopei, a total of more than 20 counties.

If they all resign, Xuzhou as a whole will be paralyzed.

Use this to show determination and let Xi Yu know their importance. In this way, they will accept it as soon as they are good. As long as Xi Yu gives a little persuasion, he will immediately say good things!

Chen Deng and his son had planned this matter a long time ago. Xi Yu was a famous scholar, a kind and wise man, he knew people well, was easy-going to others, and he came from a poor family.

No, actually speaking of being from a poor family is a compliment. Leaving aside the identity of Na Guojiu, Xi Yu and Na Xi Zhicai were even just people from the mountains.

If both sides take a step back, turn a blind eye in the future, and Xuzhou remains peaceful, then it is not a bad idea to get the support of the nobles. Xi Yu can have the most respected status in Xuzhou like Tao Qian.

A smart person will never refuse.

…

So in the afternoon, after dinner, Chen Gui and Chen Deng, their father and son, came to the government office with a dozen officials of high status.

Inside the government office, Xi Yu's family members and retainers have all arrived. The family members are in the inner courtyard. There are thirty-eight courtyards to choose from. They are quite safe in the boudoir.

There are thirty-two rooms in the outer courtyard, which are where the guards and counselors live. The interior and exterior are separated. The guards are commanded by Dian Wei, and Jia Xu is the counselor in the government office.

This is the external identity.

Soon, Chen Gui immediately explained his intention after exchanging pleasantries.

"Your Majesty, we have informed you of all the approximate harvest and product areas in Xuzhou. Therefore, I would like to ask your approval for something."

"What?" Xi Yu smiled and drank tea, smiling at Chen Gui very warmly.

"We know that your Excellency, you have the talent of knowing the time and place, astronomy and geography, farming and water conservancy, and the ability to recognize people. Therefore, we know that Your Excellency can certainly make strategic plans, so we would like to ask Your Excellency to... let us retire and return home."

They want to resign.

When Xi Yu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Well, okay."

Eh?

ah?

Chen Deng and Chen Gui suddenly felt their hearts thump.

???

What does good mean?!

"No, sir, what I mean is that officials from more than a dozen of our counties must resign."

Xi Yu's face also showed an moved look, "Old sir, I admire you for being so noble. Don't worry, I will manage Xuzhou well so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Everyone, please return home. I will send someone to take over tomorrow."

"Sir! Sir, what we mean is that there will be no officials in more than a dozen counties!"

Chen Gui's eyes widened, he was panicking!

His heart tightened all of a sudden. Their plan was very simple, as long as Xi Yu made a casual attempt to save her, and immediately borrowed the donkey from Po Xia.

There will never be any hesitation, nor will he be arrogant and arrogant just because of the large number of nobles! After all, for so many years, the nobles have been maintaining their relationship with Zhou Mu by having a good relationship with each other.

Therefore, they will definitely respect Master Zhou Mu, as long as they respect each other's interests and provide some benefits.

Chen Gui and Chen Deng figured this out very well. It can be said that Chen Deng figured it out better than his father Chen Gui.

There will definitely be no trouble at all, and it won't come to the point of collapse.

This time, it is absolutely impossible to break up the conversation, it is just to have a little fight with the adults.

It's fine if we understand each other tacitly.

Could it be that this drama master doesn’t understand?

Impossible. With all his talent and wisdom, how could he not understand this?

"How come there are no officials!?"

Xi Yu immediately laughed, "I have many officials here, and I can manage them with just these soldiers! I have trained them with my own hands, and their civil and military skills are far superior to their peers, and they have made great achievements in battle. I am...

I’m worried that I can’t award the reward.”

"Thank you so much, adults. Such a noble person deserves to be praised," Xi Yu clasped his fists, "I will give you a verbal commendation based on the ability of the state pastor."

Orally, you...

"No thanks, no thanks."

Xi Yu quickly made a gesture of invitation. He was indeed surprised. He was thinking about how to deal with the last group of scholars.

As a result, they were sent directly to the door. I wish the whole army was annihilated in this government office.

Dian Wei almost laughed out loud when he saw this. After sending these people out of the government office, they came back very happy.

In front of Xi Yu, he asked: "We are all idiots with no background and no connections. Sir, do we really want to send them to serve as officials in various cities and counties?"

"Of course that's impossible. What are you thinking..." Xi Yu rolled his eyes at him, then turned to Guo Jia who was aside, "What do you think of Feng Xiao?"

Guo Jia chuckled lightly and said: "This matter is quite simple. The first is a trade route. Please contact the merchants with grain merchants, horse merchants and cargo merchants to open a trade route within Yanzhou, so that you can get money."

"The second is farming. Taking Xuchang as the benchmark, we will distribute farm tools and reclaim wasteland. Then we will wait for the spring plowing to start farming and settle the matter of military grain farming."

"The third order is to seek talents. Now I issue another order to seek talents. With the name of Zhou Mu, I should be able to attract many famous people to join me."

"Seeking orders from the wise is the best way, and now that the scholars are resigning and returning to their hometowns, with your reputation, you might be able to give it a try."
