Chapter 395 Celebration feast, how can they be missing
The sixth year of Jian'an came to an end amidst heavy snowfall.
At the end of the year, except for the important officials who needed to guard various places, everyone took the time to return to Xuchang.
Although it was impossible for all the civil and military officials of the dynasty to gather together, at least this New Year was still a happy one.
Emperor Liu Xie has gained weight obviously recently. With his daughter by his side, it seems that he can no longer tolerate anything else in his eyes.
Everything in the imperial court was in order under the care of Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Yang Biao and others.
The promotion of household registration and land reform in various parts of the north, with the support of both the military and the government, is proceeding fairly smoothly.
Although there are still many noble gentry from aristocratic families in Hebei who are trying to get in trouble openly or covertly, Cao Cao is not Yuan Shao and will not tolerate them. The aristocratic families in Bingzhou are their best lesson.
A large number of students have come out of Taiyuan University, and Hebei is the best place for them to gain experience.
They have already learned countless political theories and classic cases in Taiyuan University. Once they take office, they can perform their respective duties and show off what they have learned throughout their lives!
People at this time were actually far less complicated than later generations.
As long as there are fields and food to eat, and people can live in peace, there won't actually be too many local problems.
When Du Ji took office, he allowed the people to deal with their own conflicts. Not only was he not looked down upon by the people, he was even loved by them.
After Tian Chou returned to Yan State with Cao Cao and others, he was appointed by Cao Cao as the governor of Youzhou.
Tian Chou is also a famous family in Youzhou, otherwise it would be impossible for Yuan Shao to invite him five times.
What's even more rare is that his reputation as a virtuous man has already spread throughout Youzhou. Cao Cao appointed Tian Chou to take charge of Youzhou. In a sense, he knew people well and appointed them well, and it was also a compromise to the scholars of Youzhou.
Tian Chou lived up to expectations. After taking office, he began to vigorously reform local systems, abolished exorbitant taxes, built water conservancy projects, and reclaimed wasteland.
Although Hebei went through several years of war, they burst out with dazzling vitality after surrendering to Cao Cao's rule.
Those who farm the fields, those who mine the fields, those who rely on the mountains eat the mountains, and those who rely on the sea eat the sea.
The people do not seek to get rich, they just hope that they will no longer have to be displaced and experience the pain of war.
Reasonable restructuring must have its meaning.
Lu Yan's next plan is to strengthen centralization and weaken local power.
But you can't rush this kind of thing, you can only do it gradually, otherwise if you use too much force, it will be counterproductive.
There is still a long way to go in the future. Even if it takes several decades to sign and become an immortal, why should you be anxious?
"Come, let's all have a drink together!"
"call out!"
"Boom!"
Fireworks bloomed in the sky over Xuchang with gorgeous light.
The people were singing and dancing outside the city, celebrating their hard-won life.
The Zhen family was all moved to Xuchang because Cao Pi fell in love with Zhen Mi and would marry Zhen Mi as his official wife. However, although the Zhen family was an aristocratic family, it was now known as a merchant family. Cao Ang, as Cao Cao's
It is impossible for the successor to marry a girl from the Zhen family.
As for Zhen Rong, the fourth sister of the Zhen family, she and Xia Houlan have a mutual acquaintance. After they get in touch with each other, things are going to be good for them.
Not only Cao Pi, Xia Houlan, Gan Ning and Zhao Xue are also about to get married.
For this reason, Zhao Yun specially accepted Zhao Xue as his adopted sister. From then on, Zhao Xue had a... no, a group of powerful backers like iron.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Cao Cao held a grand celebration banquet. Everyone drank, ate meat, and talked about everything. It was very lively.
Among these people, Guo Jia was the one who made the most noise.
Especially about the surprise attack on Wuhuan by Bailang Mountain, Guo Jia talked about it with great passion and saliva, as if he had experienced it himself.
Lu Yan didn't participate in the banquet for too long. He actually didn't like such noisy places.
After the banquet was over, Lu Yan came alone outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He estimated that Lu Lingqi, Zhao Xue, Zhou Yan and others might have to spend the night with Cai Yan and others tonight, so he planned to go out for a walk by himself to relax.
Lu Yan was dressed in scholar's casual clothes and admired the various ways of celebrating in the streets and alleys.
By this time, Lu Yan had reached the city gate without even realizing it.
Lu Yan turned around and looked around, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really lively! The atmosphere here is much stronger than that of later generations!"
Thinking of his own era, Lu Yan couldn't help but feel a little dazed, "It has been more than ten years since I came to this world... I don't know how the family members in that world are living now..."
"Sir?! Why are you here!"
Just when Lu Yan was lost in thought, a surprised voice suddenly came from behind him.
Lu Yan turned around and saw that it was Yan Feng who was leading several brothers from the Shadow Guard Jiazi Camp back to Xuchang.
"Hey! It's Yan Feng!" Lu Yan raised his hand to say hello and asked, "Didn't the letter say that you were supposed to return to Xuchang yesterday? Why did you arrive now?"
Yan Feng led the shadow guards to Lu Yan and bowed before him, then replied: "Mr. Hui, my subordinates did return to Yingchuan yesterday. However, we went to Xu Shu's hometown to visit Xu Shu's family.
Old mother."
"Have you found Xu Shu?" Lu Yan suddenly became interested.
But the city gate was obviously not the place to talk, so Lu Yan said to Yan Feng and the others: "You have worked hard too. Since we bumped into each other today, I will treat you to the best restaurant for a meal!"
"Wow!"
"Thank you Lu Qiaoqi!"
"Thank you sir!"
Although the shadow guards earn a lot of salary on weekdays, due to their status and work, it is inconvenient for them to "hang around" outside.
At this moment, the leader, Lu Yan, personally took them to eat meat, and everyone was naturally jubilant.
Speaking of the biggest and best restaurant in Xuchang, it must be the "Wangde Restaurant" jointly opened by Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, and Cao Cao's brother, Cao De. Wangde doesn't need to explain much. Naturally, the most popular one is Cao Mengde.
Wangdelou benefited from the connections brought by the Cao family and the convenience brought by the Chamber of Commerce run by Cao Hong. It always has rare delicacies from all over the world, and it is a famous restaurant throughout Xuchang and even the Central Plains.
When the goods are good, the service will naturally keep up; when the service improves, the price will definitely go up.
On weekdays, only some dignitaries and celebrities can come in to show off their style.
For the shadow guards and some small officials, Wangde Tower is an existence that is out of reach.
Arrive in front of Wangde Building.
The waiter standing at the door to welcome guests saw a group of people walking towards his restaurant at a glance.
The leader of this group was just a scribe, followed by even farmers, businessmen and warriors...
When he saw that these people were country bumpkins and unskilled, the waiter stepped forward to persuade Lu Yan and his party to leave.
The waiter was about to step forward to persuade Lu Yan and his party to leave, when he happened to glance at the person in charge at the door in the lobby, and was immediately frightened to death!
"Come back!" After the manager stopped the waiter, he surpassed the waiter at the door at a speed that was completely inappropriate for his body shape, came to Lu Yan, nodded and bowed and greeted the most attentive: "What kind of wind is it that affects Lu today?"
You are here, Qiaoqi! Our Wangde Tower is instantly filled with brilliance and brilliance!"
"Lu...Lu Qiaoqi?!" The waiter at the door was stunned by Lu Yan's identity. He stood there blankly and even forgot what he should do.
This chief was an old servant of Cao Song's family. Lu Yan had met them several times in Juancheng, but they still remembered each other.
Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Lu Yan immediately smiled and said, "I'm here to greet my brothers today. Please go and prepare a private room for us."
"Great!" The principal's eyes narrowed as he smiled. He glanced at the clerk not far away and said, "Why don't you take Lu Qiaoqi to the Prime Minister's favorite private room?!" The principal was obviously
He has a lot of discernment.
The waiter finally woke up after being drunk by his boss.
He quickly bowed and made a gesture of invitation, and said: "Lu Qiaoqi, gentlemen, please come with me!"
