The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

The golden rice fields are all over the mountains and plains, and the joy of harvest is overflowing on everyone's face.This year is a bumper harvest year, the world is peaceful, the weather is good, the food is full, and the clothes are warm.All over Jingzhou, people are busy with the harvest.People coming and going in a hurry, under the vicious sun, braved the scorching heat to reap their own happiness.Since Long Fei came to power, the life of the people has become much better. With these crops, they will never go hungry again.

The old man Huang was sweating like rain, struggling to harvest the mature crops.The eldest son carried the bundled rice bundles out, loaded them into a cart, and brought them home.The women threshed the ears of rice vigorously on the mill.This is already the third trip today. The family has been busy since early in the morning, only caring about being happy, and they haven't eaten yet.

The old man Huang raised his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the large rice fields waiting to be harvested, and took a breath.The eldest son just walked over: "Father, mother let us go back to eat!"

"Okay! I'll go back after working for a while!" The old man Huang spat in his hand again as he spoke, and continued to work hard.

The boss twisted his sore waist and complained: "In such a busy day, the second brother will not come to help, and the three children in our village are back!"

The old man Huang glanced at the boss: "Your second brother is a soldier and eats food, so he can leave as soon as he can? Besides, without your second brother, how can we have a good life now, hurry up and work, don't complain!"

"I knew I was going to be a soldier too!" The boss was obviously a little dissatisfied: "You still pay money, how majestic it is to wear armor!"

The old man Huang smiled slightly, stood up and patted his son on the shoulder: "Okay, we only let one of our two sons go. Look at your fourth uncle, only one son, and he can't even want to be a soldier. Besides, your second brother always Isn't Yue sending money back? You two, one is filial and the other is loyal, our old Huang family is worthy of General Long!"

Long Fei led Dian Wei all the way on a horse, watching the people harvesting the crops.Both of them were born in poverty and knew what food meant to the common people.This year's harvest is particularly good, and the enthusiasm of the people is also very high.Two-thirds of the treasury has been reserved, and it should be fully reserved when it is over.At the entrance of a village, Long Fei lifted his legs and jumped off the horse.

"Uncle, can you spit?" Long Fei clasped his fists and cupped his hands at the old man Huang who was unloading the truck.

The old man Huang took a few glances at Long Fei.Long Fei doesn't look like a businessman, nor does he look like a rich man, and Dian Wei behind him is a bit scary: "Are you...?"

Long Fei hurriedly said: "We passed by here, we were a little thirsty, and wanted to ask for a bowl of water!"

The old man Huang glanced at his son. The son put down his work, went back to the house and brought out a bowl of water.Long Fei took a few sips in a hurry, turned around and handed it to Dian Wei, looking at the cart full of rice, Long Fei nodded and said, "This year's crops are in good condition, uncle should be able to harvest a lot of rice, right?"

When it comes to crops, the old man's vigilance has dropped a lot, he laughed and said: "Isn't it? My old man has been farming for so many years, and this year is the best year!"

"Uncle's accent is not local!" Long Fei tied Yufeng to the branch of a tree, and stretched out his hand to help old man Huang.

Old man Huang saw that the man was not bad, so he started chatting: "Yes, we are from Yuzhou. We used to have enough food and clothing, and had to work. We had to bring the whole family to Jingzhou. When Liu Biao was there, we were still Farming the land for others is not enough to eat, but it is better than Yuzhou, the people just want to have enough food and clothing, but the world is so big, there is no way for the people to live there, fortunately General Long is here, look at my food for two years Can't finish it!"

"Oh!" Long Fei nodded again and again: "How is General Long?"

As soon as the words came out, the old man Huang's face immediately beamed with joy: "General Long is a good man! Only with General Long can we people survive. General Long is the benefactor of all of us!"

Dian Wei laughed and said, "Boss, it seems that you are quite popular with the people!"

The old man Huang was taken aback, looked at Long Fei, then at Dian Wei, and then at Yu Feng tied to the tree branch.The old man fell to his knees with a thump, and the sons and women didn't know what was wrong, so they hurried forward to help him.With snot and tears, the old man pulled everyone to kneel together: "This is General Long, you still don't kneel down!"

Everyone was shocked, and his son looked at Long Fei.No matter how you look at it, it doesn't feel like it, the dignified general just went out like this, and even helped him unload the car.Long Fei hastily stretched out his hand to support Old Man Huang.The old man Huang knelt on the ground and said nothing, he offended Long Fei and begged Long Fei to come down.Long Fei was really helpless, so he had no choice but to persuade him by threatening his appearance.

When everyone in the village heard that General Long was coming, they all put down their work and gathered at Old Man Huang's house. Long Fei became a god in everyone's hearts, and everyone scrambled to chat with Long Fei.This reminded Long Fei of the scenes of the leaders inspecting on TV in the past, a large group of people, a group of officials, the people rushed to stretch out their hands, as if touching the leader's hand would bring good luck.

On the way back, Long Fei had a new idea, he wanted to run a newspaper.What is the weapon to control people's thoughts, besides religion, public opinion is the most important.Whoever the hearts of the people are toward will be invincible.Yes, running a newspaper, although there are not many literate people, can encourage them to be literate. It is very important to understand the recent major events in Jingzhou and the world.There is another advantage of having a newspaper. The issuance of government orders and the guidance of public opinion are all in their own hands, which is very beneficial to the control of Jingzhou.

Riding on his horse, Long Fei bowed his head in thought.Dian Wei followed behind, humming a tune he learned from somewhere: "Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Long Fei raised his head suddenly, and glanced at Dian Wei: "Let me ask you, who is the most knowledgeable in Xiangyang?"

"Study?" Dian Wei raised his head and thought for a long time: "Master Xun?"

"Apart from Xun Yu, Jia Xu, and Li Ru, who else is there?"

"Hmm...!" Dian Wei thought for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said with a chuckle, "Second Madam's father! That's a famous scholar! I heard that he was a great scholar!"

The second lady refers to Cai Yan, and Cai Yong's father, Cai Yong, is indeed the most learned person in the Han Dynasty.Cai Yong is erudite and talented, good at rhetoric, mathematics, astronomy, proficient in rhythm, good at calligraphy, and once served as Zuo Zhonglang general.Since being rescued by Long Fei, he has been studying his knowledge at home without seeing anyone.When Dian Wei suddenly mentioned it today, Long Fei laughed loudly: "Okay! You are wise! Let's go, drive!" Urging the wind, he quickly came towards Xiangyang City.

In the afternoon, Long Fei brought Cai Yan and Cai Yan's second son Long Yu to visit Cai Yong with gifts.The old man was already over seventy years old and still in good health. He was playing chess with Jushou in the backyard. Hearing that his little grandson was coming, he hurriedly dropped the chess pieces in his hand and ran out excitedly.Turning a blind eye to Long Fei, he hugged his little grandson, and I was so happy when they kissed me.

The family is extremely affectionate, and Ju Shou is a little lonely.Just because I came to Wancheng with Long Fei, my whole family including my good friend Tian Feng was chopped off by Yuan Shao with a single knife, and now I am alone with nothing to do all day long.Originally, he planned to ask Long Fei to arrange an errand for him, but he couldn't hold back his face, so he dragged it back and forth for several years.

Cai Yong took his daughter and grandson to the side to play, Long Fei shook his head and smiled wryly, his father-in-law still looked down on him, so he turned his head and saw Jushou.Jushou hurriedly saluted.The two sat down in the gazebo where they played chess just now.Speaking of the changes in Wancheng and even Jingzhou in the past few years, Jushou felt the strength of Long Fei, and of course he also expressed his own views.

Jingzhou looks like an impregnable fortress, but it is actually extremely vulnerable to attack from all sides, this is one of them.Second, the people in Jingzhou live and work in peace and contentment, but the officialdom is obviously insufficient. They only rely on the efforts of a few talents in Yingchuan to maintain it. Without other people joining in, it is easy to create a dominance of the family, which is the biggest threat to Long Fei's rule.Third, due to the terrain of Jingzhou, the army was scattered and stationed, which seemed to be stable. If Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Zhang attacked from three sides, it would be difficult to deal with it.

Ju Shou only said these three points, and Long Fei was already breaking out in a cold sweat.He has been thinking about this problem for some time, but there is no good way.Long Fei hurriedly got up, and bowed deeply to Ju Shou: "Sir, please wake up the dreamer with one word, please give me your advice!"

Ju Shou hurriedly helped him up: "General, you are polite. The defeated army is grateful for the general's acceptance. Let's talk and give advice. If the general does not give up, Ju Shou will talk about it!"

The two of them were in the gazebo, chatting happily, you and I analyzed the various disadvantages of Jingzhou very thoroughly.Jushou also put forward many good suggestions. In the final analysis, the most important one is still inseparable from the hearts of the people. As long as the people support it, no matter how powerful the officials are, they will not dare to overthrow the sky.On the issue of how to win the hearts of the people, Long Fei expressed his thoughts: "Sir, to be honest, I came here today to ask my father-in-law to help me win the hearts of the people!"

"Oh?" Ju Shou nodded: "Boss Cai is highly respected, the general has a good vision, what good strategy does the general have?"

Long Fei briefly talked about the news about the newspaper.Ju Shou pondered for a long time, then frowned and asked, "If the person writing the pen has an opinion on the general, wouldn't it harm the general?"

Long Fei laughed and said, "Sir, don't you think this is new?"

Ju Shou smiled: "Emperor Guangwu had a residence report, but it was gradually abolished. The general just picked up this residence report and extended it. What's new?"

Long Fei shook his head and smiled wryly. Unexpectedly, the predecessors had such an idea, but it didn't continue.Long Fei said: "My newspaper is different from the residence newspaper. It not only publishes imperial edicts, but also new things and various things from all over the place. Generally speaking, it is a microcosm of my Jingzhou. Naturally, it cannot be anything. All of them are published in it, and only those situations that are beneficial to us are explained to everyone, and the report is focused on, so that all people are united and united! Would you like to help me, sir?"
