Thank you for the reward from the king and the 2nd son! Thank you for the two monthly tickets voted by the laughing noble ghost boy!!

The days passed unconsciously, and in the blink of an eye, it was the vernal equinox.

The envoys of the Western Regions had already left Chang'an at this time, especially the envoys of the Dawan Kingdom couldn't help but be a little disappointed with this trip, and the spies of the three southern countries also returned to their respective locations, and the three southern countries did not join forces to go on a northern expedition because of Cao Cao's imperial examination, which made the children of the family and the scholars of all sizes who cherished the political world of the family very depressed.

On this day, Cao Cao led a group of imperial forest troops, accompanied by Liu Ye and Fu Zhu, to the official reclamation farm in the suburbs of Chang'an, where the official reclamation farm was about 300,000 mu, which was newly cultivated by the displaced people and nearby people last year, and nearly 10,000 people and displaced people were responsible for the 300,000 mu of land.

At this time, what appeared in front of Cao Cao and them was an endless green wheat wave dancing in the wind, and the refreshing fragrance of straw made the whole person feel extra comfortable.

"Gongyou, you did a good job!" Cao Cao couldn't help but praise.

Frustrated, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty has won the award!" Weichen is just a micro end, Chongzhou used to be under the leadership of Prime Minister Xun, but another million acres of grain land were added! ”

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, "If you have Wen Ruo presiding over civil affairs in the country, I will feel a lot more at ease!" ”

Liu Ye on the side continued: "Last year, our dynasty added a total of 3.1 million mu of official grain fields, mainly concentrated in the heart of the Central Plains, Chang'an, Chongzhou and Yuzhou, Guanzhong! ”

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, and at this time, everyone came to a field ridge. A dozen peasants who were resting by the ridges saw a large group of people coming. I couldn't help but feel both curious and surprised.

These peasants were not the same as ordinary peasants, and they were to some extent employees of the government. Their duty is to cultivate the official land.

"Your Majesty is here, don't kneel yet!" A royal forester rode up to the peasants and scolded.

Everyone was shocked. Then he hurriedly knelt down towards Cao Cao and his party, and shouted in surprise and joy in his heart: 'Good girl! Emperor Lao Tzu is here! Thinking so in his heart, he raised his head and stretched his neck to look at Cao Cao and his party.

After Cao Cao and his party left, all the peasants stood up and talked enthusiastically, and everyone looked very excited.

Cao Cao took a turn in Guanken and returned to the Qianqing Palace of Chang'an Imperial Palace.

"It seems that this year will be another bumper year!" Cao Cao looked very happy.

"Your Majesty, as it stands. After the spring of this year, we will be able to harvest at least 5 million quintals of grain in the grain fields of our official and military reclamations! That's enough to support a million-strong army for a year! He said with a happy face.

Cao Cao nodded and asked, "How much grain can I harvest through other means?" ”

After a moment's thought, he replied, "The other ways are mainly grain taxes and taxes deducted from grain!" This part is about three million quintals of income! ”

"Eight million quintals of grain! Very good! ”

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, paused, and said to Frustration: "We must urge all localities to strengthen the management of the fields, and we must not be negligent and slack!" ”

"Yes! Wechen will go to give the order! "Frustrated, hold your fists.

"Wait!"

Cao Cao stopped him in frustration: "Gonghe, although this year will be a bumper year, we still need to be prepared to buy grain from other countries!" ”

Fu Zhu nodded and arched his hand: "Wei Chen understands. Your Majesty, if nothing else, Weichen will retire! ”

Cao Cao nodded.

Fu Zhu left the Qianqing Palace and happened to meet Jia Xu at the corridor. The two saluted each other, exchanged a few words, and then went to the Qianqing Palace and went out of the palace.

"Wechen greets Your Majesty!" Jia Xu entered the Qianqing Palace and bowed.

Cao Cao, who was reviewing the official documents, raised his head. Seeing Jia Xu, he smiled and said, "It's Wenhe!" Get up! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jia Xu stood up. A letter escaped from his bosom, and his hands were raised above the top of the inspection: "Your Majesty." Here is the list of those who passed the preliminary examination in the imperial examination! ”

"Oh! Show me! Cao Cao showed a look of eagerness.

"Yes!" Jia Xu promised and came to Cao Cao's case to present a note.

Cao Cao took the note, flipped through it and looked at it carefully, and after a while, Cao Cao raised his head and asked, "Among them, it seems that not only my dynasty is under the rule, but also who is this Kong Ming?" Could it be Zhuge Liang? ”

Jia Xu replied: "Back to Your Majesty, there are a total of one hundred and eighty-one people who passed the preliminary examination, among which Jiangnan Junjie was beyond the expectations of the ministers, and there were not a few, as for this Kong Ming, it is not which Zhuge Liang!" ”

Cao Cao frowned, and heard Jia Xu's answer, although Cao Cao was puzzled, but he was more puzzled, at least the words in his mind were Kong Ming, as if there was only one Zhuge Liang!

However, no matter what, this Kong Ming can pass the initial examination, and he still has a certain talent first, maybe he is a talent left out of history.

Cao Cao, who had figured this out, quickly put this doubt and curiosity in his heart behind him, and asked Jia Xu: "Yiwen and you, do these one hundred and eighty-one people have true talents?" ”

Jia Xu thought for a moment and replied: "If it is in terms of governing the country, these people are all very outstanding talents!" However, "

Cao Cao smiled and said, "But these people are like idiots in terms of poetry and songs!" ”

Jia Xu nodded with a smile: "That's true! ”

Cao Cao glanced at Jia Xu and asked, "Presumably, those talented people outside have a lot of opinions about this imperial examination, right?" ”

Jia Xu's old face showed a touch of disdain and sarcasm: "They are all so-called geniuses who think they are full of scriptures!" ”

Cao Cao pondered: "But their influence and destructive power should not be underestimated! Wenhe, in the next few days, you will let the Jinyi guards in Chang'an temporarily monitor these so-called talents, and if anyone dares to incite trouble, arrest them immediately! ”

"Weichen takes the order!" Jia Xu promised.

"By the way, other than that, how is the martial arts?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the matter of martial arts is being prepared, and it will probably take some time to really unfold!" Jia Xu hurriedly replied.

Hearing this, Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, the matter of martial arts will be put after the flag awarding ceremony of the legion, and it just so happens that most of the generals will return to Beijing at that time, and with them, they can better motivate those students first!" ”

"With His Majesty here, who dares not to do his best!"

Cao Cao laughed a few times, waved his hand and said, "Wenhe, I am not a king who likes to listen to good words, this is a bit untrue!" ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly, didn't say anything, in fact, this was all deliberate by this old fox, there was a time, saying that his subordinates can't be too smart, and they can't be too upright, obviously Jia Xu is a person in politics! (To be continued......)
