Chapter 509: Lu Bu Prepares a Wedding Gift for Zhang Fei! [Ask for Monthly Tickets]

In the Taiwei Mansion in Chang'an City, Yang Xiu, who was in Xiu Mu's house, was drinking with his father Yang Biao:

"Father, how will our family decide to enthrone the City God this time? I heard that each house of the Yang family wants to enshrine an ancestor as a sign of filial piety."

Yang Biao took a sip of the warm rice wine, looked at his son with a smile and asked:

"What do you think Dezu should do?"

During his time working at the Industrial Zone Management Committee, Yang Xiu changed from a rhetorical person to a pragmatic person.

He put down his chopsticks and replied respectfully:

"My child thinks that each house is well done. There are countless ministers of my Yang family. It is really not enough to choose one or two. It just so happens that my father plans to donate all the land to the court. If he does not take the opportunity to ask for some benefits, other families will At the same time, His Majesty is not at ease."

As a courtier, if you are not greedy for fame or profit, then what do you want to do?

Yang Biao took a piece of mutton, dipped it in the garlic paste, put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly:

"Dezu, you only know one thing, but not the other... We want to set an example for all officials, but we ask for many city godships just because we contribute land. Other families must be following this example... The Han Dynasty has inherited it for hundreds of years. , Who doesn’t have a few heroes?”

Being canonized as a city god can turn your ancestors into gods. For a man who rules the world with filial piety, this is definitely an irresistible temptation.

Since it is a temptation, it naturally attracts not just one family, but all the families in the Han Dynasty.

These families all want to canonize their ancestors as gods. The Yang family wants to occupy more than ten counties. What does your majesty think of this? What do you want Mr. Wenhe to think?

As an insider, Yang Biao knew that the purpose of conferring the title of City God this time was to raise military rations for the attack on Yizhou. As long as the military rations were almost raised, the canonization activity would come to an end.

Only by slowly releasing quotas can the aristocratic families be more willing to donate food and land.

At this time, we must not grab more and occupy more, and it is not necessary.

In the canonization edict, Zhang Luhui described the functions and settings of the gods in great detail. Although those who were canonized were his own ancestors, he would not favor his descendants.

He thought for a while and said:

"Before you return to the industrial area, visit all the branches of our Yang family. This time, I, the Yang family, can only consecrate one god, which is Chiquanhou, the founder of the Yang family. The county seat that can be conferred does not want to be a prosperous city like Chang'an and Luoyang. , but Hongnong Huayin County.”

If the ancestor Yang Xi hadn't grabbed Xiang Yu's thigh and was therefore made a marquis, there would have been no way the Hongnong Yang family would have existed, let alone one that could have been passed down for thousands of years.

Therefore, the Yang family dedicated all their land in order to be the God of Huayin County.

I don't care about other gods and the like.

Hearing this, Yang Xiu became a little anxious:

"Father, aren't you afraid of suspicion from His Majesty, Marquis Wen, Mr. Wen He and others?"

Yang Biao finished the rice wine in his cup and then said:

"When His Majesty agrees, I will arrange for several family members to join the Salt and Iron Department. This will be a very important department in the future. We, the Yang family, must participate, and then develop an iron mine in Hongnong's family to provide the industrial zone with Iron ingots are used as upstream industries in the industrial zone.”

Since we want to lay out industry, we naturally have to start with the most important salt and iron.

As long as they can obtain the mining rights for iron ore, the Yang family will get involved in the iron smelting industry, and then improve the production capacity and efficiency of the industrial zone through cooperation.

In short, the Hongnong Yang family should seize this opportunity and rise for the second time.

After the Han Dynasty is unified in the future, the Yang family's iron ore mining industry will mature, and they may be able to help the court mine more iron ore and become an indispensable mining family for the Han Dynasty.

"I heard that in the real world, this kind of industry is called a company. By then, our Yang family will also set up a mining company to contribute to the construction of Dahan!"

Yang Xiu didn't expect his father's vision to be so far-reaching, so he immediately said:

"My child will go visit the elders of each family line now, explain the interests, and set an example for the officials!"

The same scene was also played out in the Xun family. After Xun Yu used a walkie-talkie to talk to Xun Yan and Xun Chen, he said to the elders in the family:

"This time our Xun family only seeks the city god of one county. We cannot ask for more. Only by keeping a low profile can we develop."

An uncle said dissatisfiedly:

"After Xunzi, we only canonized the city gods of one county. Isn't it too little? While Yingchuan has not yet been captured, why not grab a few more and canonize all the city gods of Yingchuan counties as our Xun clan's people."

There are quite a few Yingchuan families, such as Chen family, Guo family, etc., they all occupied them before everyone could react... Of course, one can be given to the Zhong family. After all, Zhong Yao is also one of His Majesty's own.

Xun Yu couldn't help but sigh:

"What's the point of fighting for a little fame? And His Majesty has decided that erecting a statue of our ancestor Xunzi on the campus of Chang'an University and accepting the worship of the pillar of the country every day is no better than being a city god?"

In order to advocate respecting teachers and respecting morality, Chang'an University decided to erect more than ten statues for students to pay homage to Laozi, Confucius, Guanzi, Mencius, Yanzi, Mozi, Xunzi, Zhuangzi, Fan Li, Bian Que, Sun Wu, Guiguzi and other famous figures. Statues of sages will be erected.

Compared with the city god, the statue erected in the university is naturally more respected by people. Xun Yu's clan uncle was speechless. He was worshiped by the people of the county and looked up to by the pillars of the whole country. They could still tell which was more important.

After Xun Yu finished speaking, he talked about other things:

"If you are bored, you can write a few memorials to impeach the Yuan family... The disciples of the Yuan family will definitely join in the fun when the City God is enthroned this time. We cannot deny the achievements of the Yuan ancestors, but we can start from the fact that they are not good at educating their children."

In the real world, Yuwen Chengdu asked Lu Bu:

"Brother Fengxian, don't you want to establish a City God for the elders of your family?"

Lu Bu waved his hand:

"I am not from a noble family, I don't want these false names, and even if I trace back, I want to establish a relationship with the clan of Empress Lu, then all the officials of the Han Dynasty will jump up and down, right?"

Li Shimin suggested:

"Then continue to go back, Lu Yue in the Conferred God should be regarded as the ancestor of the surname Lu who is relatively early, right?"

Yuwen Chengdu complained:

"I thought I could establish a relationship with Laojun like your family?"

Li Shimin: "..."

Big guy, don't bring up things that are not related to the topic, okay?

Lü Bu said while chewing a Hami melon:

"It is naturally no problem to posthumously recognize Lü Yue, but if I confer him the title of City God Temple, I am afraid that the Plague Emperor will hunt me down across the world... I will settle here in a few years, so there is no need to mess around."

He threw the rind into the trash can, wiped his hands with a wet tissue, and then said:

"I heard that Yang Biao is going to donate all the land of the Yang family to the court. Your Majesty plans to give the Yang family a little sweetness and let the attendant Yang Qi serve as the Salt and Iron Order and be in charge of the Salt and Iron Bureau. This should be the most powerful person in the Yang family."

Yang Qi and Yang Biao are both descendants of Sikong Yang Zhen. Yang Qi's grandfather Yang Mu and Yang Biao's grandfather Yang Bing are brothers, and these two brothers are Sikong Yang Zhen's biological sons.

In history, after Yang Qi sent Emperor Xian back to the east, he studied hard and never participated in political affairs again.

On the contrary, Yang Biao and Yang Xiu, father and son, have always been officials in the court.

Although Yang Qi was devoted to learning, his descendants were still very proud. His great-grandson Yang Xuan was the sixth-generation ancestor of Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

There are many people from the Yang family serving as officials in the court now. The highest-ranking official is Taiwei Yang Biao, but his Taiwei is honorary and he has no military power.

Other members of the Yang family do not have much power. For example, Yang Qi, although he is a minister, nominally gives advice to His Majesty, but in fact Liu Xie does not need these at all. He has enough top counselors around him. If he really encounters something he can't handle, he can also consult Nuwa, his grandmother, or go to the real world to consult with the imaginative netizens.

Now that Yang Qi is in charge of salt and iron, the Yang family is bound to become the top family of the Han Dynasty again.

This honor originally belonged to the Yuan family, but the Yuan family made a big mistake, and the Yang family successfully stood on the team, so naturally they had to reward a wave.

Zhao Yun, who had been chewing the watermelon without saying anything, asked:

"There are many students and former officials of the Yuan family, so there should be someone who will help them to cheer for them, right?"

Lv Bu nodded:

"Mr. Wenhe has made a decision. If someone helps the Yuan family to cheer for them, the Bureau of Secrets will follow up the investigation. If there is anyone who secretly communicates with the Yuan family, they will be severely punished!"

After eating the watermelon, Yuwen Chengdu continued to teach Zhao Yun tactical deduction. Lu Bu crossed his arms and added a few words from time to time.

Yuwen Chengdu has a whole book of military memory. Lu Bu has just participated in the battle to pacify Taiyuan County and Shangdang County, and has a lot of experience in actual combat.

And this guy is good at using modern equipment such as drones, walkie-talkies, and artillery, especially drones. In addition to detecting the enemy, they can also spray water to extinguish beacon towers, or pour gasoline to set fires, or hang a super-large loudspeaker to shout to the city.

Anyway, no matter what, you can always play with flowers.

As he was talking, Yue Fei led his horse to the real world. He had just arrived in Laiyuan County, so he brought his horse here to eat some feed and take a break. He was going to return to the book world to replenish the equipment for the relay station on the top of the mountain.

Coal stoves, coal, various noodles, dehydrated vegetables, dehydrated meat and other foods were all ready. A few trucks of concrete were brought over to reinforce the surroundings.

Although this kind of mountaintop outpost would be in danger once it was besieged, as long as the communication was guaranteed, there would be no problem in saving them.

After all, Gongsun Sheng could fly, and he could bring Lu Junyi and other fierce generals here. With the geographical advantages here, he could definitely do it.

Seeing that everyone was deducing tactics, Yue Fei also came over and discussed it, and conveyed Liu Bei's instructions by the way.

Zhao Yun was touched when he heard that his uncle was so considerate of him:

"Please tell my uncle that Yun will go to the Water Margin to tell Yue Fei's story after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Okay!"

After discussing for a while, Yue Fei thought of the important things to do, so he reluctantly went to the warehouse to deal with the supplies. Before leaving, he sent a message to Mu Guiying, asking the queen to transport some coal from Mu Ke Village to serve as fuel for the soldiers at the outpost.

Mu Guiying returned to Mu Ke Village without saying a word, and transported a truck of coal with an electric five-wheeler. When Yue Fei sent it there, she went back and transported five tons of honeycomb coal.

With honeycomb coal, it is very convenient for heating and cooking.

Soon, the massive amount of supplies made the soldiers at the outpost ecstatic, and the warm outdoor tents and sleeping bags allowed them to say goodbye to the cold and no longer have to suffer from the cold.

When the concrete was delivered, Yue Fei helped them build a platform on it. In order to facilitate them to get water, he also installed a water pump in the nearby stream and wrapped it with insulation cotton to ensure that the water pipes would not freeze.

This kind of outpost with water, electricity, food and drink is definitely the favorite of the soldiers.

After Yue Fei finished all this work, he saw yellow sheep in the mountains and shot two of them with a bow and arrow. One was used to improve the lives of the people at the outpost, and the other was skinned and disemboweled and carried into the real world.

A skinned yellow sheep is similar to a goat and does not attract attention.

Soon, the sheep was stewed in the pot by Li Yu. Mu Guiying put on a chef's hat, stood in front of the stove, took a selfie, and posted it to Moments:

"Although I didn't do anything during the whole process, I still need to have a proper sense of participation."

Diao Chan was speechless:

"Your sense of participation is running into the kitchen and taking selfies, right?"

"Oh, don't worry about the details. The worst I can do is eat a few more pieces and get deeply involved."

At dinner, everyone was feasting. After a few days of study, Zhao Feng's family adapted to the real world. Zhao Qian had already recognized twenty-six letters, and Zhang Wanping was accustomed to simplified Chinese characters and started working in the B&B.

While eating, Lin Xu sent a message:

"Li Yu, tomorrow morning our whole family will drive back to Yinzhou with the staff of the Happy Media Filming Center. So many people, won't scare Zhao Zilong, right?"

"Don't worry, Zilong is not so courageous."

Just after replying to the message, Hao Zhenzhen also sent a message:

"Boss Li, we have prepared more than a dozen sets of Hanfu, and we plan to ask Zhao Zilong's family to help them try them on and take photos. Is that okay?"

"No problem. By the way, prepare wigs for Zhao Feng and Zhao Qian... I just had to wear wigs after cutting off my long hair. I don't know if the father and son are used to it."

"It should be no problem. We will shoot in the photography room of Hanfu Factory tomorrow, and then take some outdoor photos in the evening."

"Okay, I'll let Zilong and the others get ready."

After finishing the chat, Li Yu said to Zhao Yun’s family:

"I will go to the Hanfu Factory to take photos tomorrow. It will probably take a day. You guys should be mentally prepared. Don't be stressed and just stay in a normal state."

The highest pursuit of Hanfu photos is to capture the ancient atmosphere.

The so-called ancient meaning does not mean that the clothes are distressed, nor is it displayed with ancient furniture, but the state of the ancient people in the photographed person.

It is difficult for actors in modern society to do this, but for ancient people, just posing casually is full of ancient charm.

Zhao Qian raised his hand and asked:

"Do I also want to take pictures tomorrow?"

Li Yu gave him a piece of mutton ribs and said:

"Shoot, just choose the clothes you like to wear tomorrow."

The little guy was very happy when he heard that he had new clothes to wear.

Li Yu is also very happy, because he will be able to see his little friend Dundun tomorrow. He doesn't know how much luck points this negotiation will consume... Chatting with interdimensional species is really expensive.

I don’t know what Gouzi’s reaction will be when he sees Dundun. When a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, will he burst into tears?

Yue Fei took a mouthful of rice and said to Lu Bu:

"My brother-in-law said that he was getting married soon and hoped that Marquis Wen could give him an off-road vehicle. He also said that he wouldn't mind if it was a second-hand one."

When Lu Bu heard this, he took a bite of the yellow lamb leg in his hand:

"It has been prepared for a long time..."

This guy took something out of his pocket, took out a Hummer SUV that could be hung on a keychain, and threw it to Yue Fei:

"When I see San'er later, I will tell him for me that my eldest son is getting married. It's a pity that as a father I can't come in person. I hope San'er won't worry about his father's faults."

Li Shimin clicked his tongue and said:

"When Mr. Zhang heard this, he would definitely be so angry that his mouth would be filled with smoke."

Lu Bu laughed:

"It doesn't matter, he can't come back anyway."

After dinner, Lu Bu returned to the Three Kingdoms World and played with the signal tower.

While they were busy, Ma Chao came over on horseback and asked Lu Bu with a distressed look on his cell phone:

"Marquis Wen, there is a stranger on my phone. I don't know who he is. He looks very intimate when we take a group photo, but I don't have any impression. Is this a supernatural incident?"

"That's Zhao Zilong. It's normal that you don't remember... I asked you to study with me. How did you learn?"

After returning to Chang'an City, Lu Bu gave Ma Chao three days' leave and asked him to attend classes at Chang'an University.

A qualified general must never forget to recharge his batteries at any time, so that he can maintain his acuity for war and at the same time make his brain more flexible.

Ma Chao quickly picked up the triangle iron on the ground and handed it to Lu Bu:

"I studied well. I have to go back to do my homework later...can't we make that Laoshizi ballpoint pen?"

Lu Bu said while tightening the screws:

"It can't be made, especially the small steel ball on the head, which is called the jewel in the crown of industry. Not to mention us, even in the real world, it has been criticized by the public for being unable to make it, mocking China as not worthy of the title of industrial power."

"Really? Isn't this thing very cheap?"

Lu Bu smiled, changed the head of the electric wrench, and then said:

"Because it was cheap, it was not manufactured in China. But when it was annoyed by the criticism, Taiyuan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. made a furnace and it lasted for several years. Several foreign companies that made a living by making ballpoint pen tips immediately declared bankruptcy."

Ma Chao asked while passing the screws to Lu Bu:

"What does it mean to be a public intellectual? A person who eats the inside and outside of the country?"

"Being able to learn from inside and outside is considered a skill. Many people directly regard themselves as Westerners spiritually and criticize the country and the government... When you conquer the border, you will see a similar situation, but they are all spiritual Han people."

During the Han and Tang Dynasties, there were countless spiritual Han and spiritual Tang people in the surrounding small countries. For example, on the Xiongnu side, there were always people who defected to the Han people in an attempt to obtain a legal identity.

The situation was even worse in the Tang Dynasty. The small countries in the Western Regions were looking forward to the Tang Dynasty's attack every day, and then joined the Tang Dynasty and spontaneously provided protection for the Tang Dynasty's caravans.

While the two were busy, Cao Xing and Song Xian, who were far away in She County, bid farewell to Huang Zhong, led thousands of troops, quietly left She County, and headed south, preparing to cross a mountain path in the mountains and raid Longli County occupied by Yuan Shao.

Longli County was the northernmost county in Henei County. After Yuan Shao took over Yecheng, he sent people to occupy it and it became a bridgehead to protect the safety of Yecheng.

Cao Xing had nothing to do some time ago, so he sent a reconnaissance team to Longli County through the mountain path provided by Sui Gu to conduct a detailed investigation.

There had been no war in this county in the mountain nest for a long time. The battle in Shangdang was lively before, but the defender of Longli County felt that there was a natural barrier of Taihang Mountains, so he must be able to rest easy.

Based on the principle of beating children on rainy days and doing nothing at all, Cao Xing and Song Xian planned to lead their troops to attack directly, capture Longli County, and form an encirclement of Yecheng...
