The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 272
Yuan Shang's head was heavy and his mood was very depressed. In the past few years, due to the busy rectification of government affairs and military affairs, the talented and wise politicians under him are busy every day and have no free time. Yuan Shang had no choice but to Ask Deng Chang to help with the children.

The problem is that Yuan Shang is busy on weekdays. It's good that you don't know if you don't look at it. If you look at it, the thief is making trouble. Three good seedlings, holding Deng Chang's hands, can have any good development, as the saying goes. Those who are close to ink are black, and letting Mr. Deng take them is really the biggest mistake Yuan Shang has ever made in his life—whether it was in his previous life or this life.

Listen to the few words he taught just now, "The wise do not live;What is "the brave don't lift?"

Isn't this teaching bad children?My three elite seedlings, what should I do if he teaches Huang?
It was good for Yuan Mai. Deng Ai, who was slightly younger than him, propped his chin on the side, and said stupidly: "Father, my lord, it seems. Yes. You are not very knowledgeable, so don't worry."

"Shut up! Little bastard! You don't distinguish between insiders and outsiders, whether he is your father or I am your father!"

Yuan Shang gently rubbed his forehead, shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Okay, what's the point of running wild with children, let the children go to play first, and I'll chat with you a few words."

The three children got up immediately after hearing Yuan Shang's order, and Yuan Mai picked up the screaming little Zhonghui, and ran towards the bamboo forest in the backyard together, leaving only Yuan Shang and Deng Chang in the front yard with big eyes. They stared at each other with small eyes.

Deng Chang smiled, raised his hand and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Yuan Shang, handed it over, and said, "It's broad daylight, and I'm not in the mansion to deal with official business, so how come I have time to come to this old man?"

Yuan Shang flipped the front of his robe casually, poured the tea into his mouth Shi Shiran, and said: "I've been free for half a day, if I don't come to see you now, I think I won't have a chance soon."

Deng Chang was not a pure idiot, he knew the elegant meaning after hearing the strings, and immediately responded: "What? Are you planning to gather troops and horses to go south to conquer Cao?"

Yuan Shang nodded and sighed: "Exactly, I have done three years of preparation and development, in order to achieve today, the general trend of the world, success or failure depends on one action, if the conquest of Cao Cao fails this time, I don't know what to do." When did it drag on?"

Deng Chang stroked his chin and pondered for a while and said, "You have developed for three years. Now Hebei is not only prosperous in population, but also in agriculture, military administration, and merchants. In terms of strength, we now have an absolute advantage. , this time going south, how sure are you that you can defeat Cao Cao?"

Yuan Shangwen thought for a while and said: "Although our strength is superior, I think that since the opponent is Cao Cao, who is known as a traitor in troubled times, we must not be too careless in comparison. If we want to completely defeat him, I guess the victory or defeat will be the same. It's between five and five."

"Only half the chance of winning?" Elder Deng's face immediately collapsed when he heard the words, and he pouted dissatisfiedly: "What's the point of fighting with such a low chance of winning, or if Deng goes out with you, it will be considered as yours." How about helping me?"

Yuan Shang shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "Pull it down. In terms of strength, I was originally a little bit taller than Cao Cao. With you, Cao Cao is a little bit taller than me. If you stay here honestly, you will The greatest care for our army."

Deng Chang: "."

After a long time, I saw the old man Deng Chang's face lowered, and he said seriously: "Forget it, I can't talk to you in terms of words, but I want to ask you, the four new lieutenants in Yecheng have just been built. , when it is under construction, and you leave now, how should the development of these new lieutenants be?"

Yuan Shang seemed to be taken aback when he heard the words, nodded, and said, "Your words really hit the point."

The so-called four new Weisi are the four new institutions with special departments that Yuan Shang established in Yecheng in the past year. These four institutions are all supported by Yuan Shang in order to consolidate his political status and prestige.

These four institutions are the Department of Medical Affairs, the Department of Star Gazing, the Department of Military Training, and the Department of Ancient Books. The four functional departments can be regarded as the four heatstroke centers of cultural institutions in this era. They are Hua Tuo, Guan Ren, Zuo Ci, and Cai. Yan four people take care of.

As the name suggests, the Department of Medical Affairs, headed by Hua Tuo, naturally focuses on medical skills, Chinese herbal medicine and other proposals, which is somewhat similar to the CDC of later generations. Reduce the degree of casualties of diseases to the minimum.

Compared with the Department of Medical Affairs, the Department of Star Gazing under the control of Guan Ren is less effective in practical purposes, but it plays a very important role in politics. The ancients were superstitious, and the Department of Star Gazing was under Yuan Shang's intentional or unintentional role. Under the exaggeration, it has become an endorsement agency in Hebei's political circles and folks. No matter what kind of actions and measures Yuan Shang has, through the mouth of the stargazing department, he can turn nothing into something, something into truth, and truth into belief. , using astrology and providence to interpret every move of the Yuan Shang Group, so as to gain the support of the common people.To put it bluntly, this organization is a magic stick organization established by Yuan Shang for the benefit of his own group with his special status as a manager.

As for the military training department led by Zuo Ci, the projects it carries are rather miscellaneous, a bit similar to the scientific research institutes of later generations, mainly focusing on alchemy, weapons, large-scale combat equipment, chariots, etc. Zuo Ci is a miscellaneous family, so it is more The part-time job is to innovate various military tactics and battle formations. Of course, Tian Feng, Ju Shou and others are needed to complete this. It can be regarded as the busiest department among all organizations.

Compared with the first three institutions, the composition of the ancient books department of the fourth institution is quite special. As the name suggests, this department can be said to mainly carry and publicize cultural information, but the most puzzling thing is that the head of the department actually asked Yuan Shang to set up Became a woman, that is, Cai Yan, even though he is Cai Yong's daughter, but to a large extent, many people raised objections to this matter, but Yuan Shang was determined not to change his mind and insisted on inviting Cai Yan Take charge.

After Cai Yan came to power, he immediately took actions to stop those babblings with Yuan Shang. During the Luoyang Rebellion, there were more than 4000 volumes of precious books in his home. After several wars, almost all of them were The loss really made the literati all over the world beat their chests and lament endlessly. After all, the output of books of the ancients was not high, and most of the ancient books were left alone. However, Cai Yan himself has an extraordinary memory. Among them, 40 pieces made the world dumbfounded, and then Cai Yan made an astonishing move. First, he composed more than [-] precious music scores, and created more than ten excellent poems, which shocked the literary world all over the world. , can't help but make people look sideways.

In this way, the four ministries and the four leaders complement each other, and seem to have no major responsibilities, but within a few years, the political status and influence of the Yuan Group have been greatly improved. The Yuan family's current promotion has even far surpassed Yuan Shao's status when he was alive, and the reputation of the four generations and three princes has reached a peak.

But the departments of the four divisions are all under development after all, and many things have to be reported directly to the Weiwei Mansion where Yuan Shang is located. Now that the army is about to go out, once Yuan Shang leaves, many things will not be coordinated, which will easily affect the development.

Yuan Shang deeply understood Deng Chang's words, so he sent someone to invite Zuo Ci, Guan Ren, Hua Tuo, and Cai Yan, the heads of the Fourth Division, to discuss with them the development direction of each division and the projects to be done after he left. During the period of his absence, the fourth department can also have a relatively smooth and stable development direction.

Hua Tuo, Guan Ren, and Zuo Ci's aspects are still smooth and smooth, but it is the development direction proposed by Cai Yan that makes Yuan Shang quite embarrassed
"Auntie, you said that in the two capitals, Luoyang and Chang'an, there are still precious books and ancient relics left by your Cai family?"

Cai Yan's elegant face immediately turned red, and she glanced at Yuan Shang resentfully, and lamented: "Yuan Gong, Yan has told you many times, please don't call me by this name, it's ugly and awkward"

"Aunt Yan, forgive me. It's my nephew's inappropriate words." Yuan Shang's attitude was very respectful: "It's just that when Luoyang was burned, most of the cultural relics were destroyed. How can you be sure that there will be remnants of me left behind?" Woolen cloth?"

Cai Yan nodded slightly, pointing his chin, and said: "That being said, the aristocratic families who lived in Luoyang Anzhai all cherished their feathers. They were used to digging cellars in the lower part of their houses for Collecting famous and rare treasures, when Dong Zhuo left Luoyang in surprise, it was an act of rights and interests. He was in a hurry and only cared about collecting gold foil. They were brought to Chang’an, but they were only left in the former residence, so Yan ventured to guess that there are still rare ancient books in the two capitals, and if he can find out, it will be of great benefit to the general’s reputation among the Confucian families.”

Yuan Shang nodded when he heard the words: "These precious cultural relics and ancient books are the treasures of blood, sweat and wisdom left by our ancestors for our future generations. If Yuan Mou gets the land in Guanzhong, he should dig them out so that they can be protected and left behind. people, just."

Having said this, Yuan Shang paused for a moment, and said sadly: "It's just that it's quite difficult to find the place where the wealthy families in the old capital hide anonymous items, and even if we find them, our army is basically rough people, who can't recognize them. No, how can they tell if it is a classical text or not?"

Cai Yan smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said lightly: "It's easy, but Yan is not talented. I would like to go with the army to help Yuan Gong complete this great event that will be left to future generations."

Yuan Shang gasped when he heard the words, and said, "Are you here in the army?"

Cai Yan nodded and said, "In order to leave a treasure for future generations, Yan must go there. Could it be that Duke Yuan thinks I'm in the way?"

Yuan Shang was taken aback for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said: "How can you, it is a blessing for the soldiers of the three armies that you can go out with the army, you can be said to be a nobleman of the three armies!"

Hearing this, Deng Chang was curious, and asked in a low voice beside her: "She is a woman who goes out with the army, why is it a blessing for the three armies? Or is it a nobleman?"

Yuan Shang leaned on his chin, and said thoughtfully: "My aunt is here, will the safe period be far behind?"
