Chapter 879

When Cao Cao was shocked by the delicious pumpkin soup, Zhang Liao and Xun you had been sent to Luoyang.

The two arrived and received Kuai Liang.

Kuai Liang, as the chief assistant of the cabinet of Chu state, was below one person and above ten thousand. Kuai Liang's personal interview shows that he attaches great importance to Xun you and Zhang Liao.

However, as soon as Zhang Liao and Xun you arrived, Kuai Liang did not immediately discuss official affairs and arrange things. Instead, he called together the cabinet members of the state of Chu, as well as six officials of the court, and made a special trip to take care of Xun you and Zhang Liao.

This degree of acceptance is the greatest respect.

In addition, Kuai Liang also prepared two mansions for Xun you and Zhang Liao to live in.

Such courtesy can not be described as heavy.

Xun you and Zhang Liao, who were originally a little worried, relaxed a lot after taking the wind and washing the dust, and had no previous worries.

The next day, early in the morning.

Kuai Liang sent Xun you and Zhang Liao to the office.

In the room, the guest and host are seated.

Kuai Liang looked at Zhang Liao and Xun you, stroked his beard under his jaw, and said, "I'm not new to you, so I don't talk nonsense."

"Your Majesty, let me arrange for you."

"But I carefully considered that Wen Yuan was good at marching, fighting and arranging troops. Now, in the rear area of Luoyang, there can be no war. You can't lead the war. "

"Similarly, Gongda is good at staff officers, military aircraft and strategic layout, which is also related to war. It's not convenient to arrange for you in the rear area of Luoyang. "

Kuai Liang's tone was slow but clear. He continued: "but you don't want to go to the front line to attack Cao Cao."

"Therefore, I have a headache."

"I think about it. Now there's a big event in Luoyang, which needs manpower and scheduling. You are all capable people, and you are responsible for it. "

Kuai Liang explained the arrangement and his ideas.

After listening to Kuai Liang, Xun you nodded slightly and agreed with him.

He and Zhang Liao are both Cao Cao's lineage and Cao Cao's people. Although they are obedient to Liu Xiu, they are not willing to fight Cao Cao again.

Xun you asked: "dare to ask Kuai Shoufu, what is it?"

Zhang Liao said: "Kuai Shoufu's orders are."

Their attitude is very good.

Now that he has been subordinated to Liu Xiu, he corrects his attitude and no longer sticks to the past.

With a smile, Kuai Liang replied, "in the territory of Chu, there is a gift from heaven - pumpkin. Now, it's the season of pumpkin harvest. "

"The first batch of pumpkins were planted by the government."

"All the fields have soldiers on patrol."

"Now, pumpkins continue to mature and are being transported to Luoyang's warehouse for storage batch by batch. At the same time, the harvested pumpkins are also transported batch by batch to various battlefields in the front line. "

"Before you came here, I did it myself. Because pumpkins are very important, nothing can go wrong

"Now that you are here, you will take over."

Kuai Liang's burden is very heavy. He can entrust some things and kick his breath.

Kuai Liang said, "you two are responsible for collecting all the ripe pumpkins and sending them to the granary. There are quite a lot of pumpkins cultivated. During this period, you will be very busy. Of course, you're new here, and many of you don't know or understand, so I'll arrange an experienced person to introduce you. "

Xun you and Zhang Liao both frowned after listening.

There was a trace of dissatisfaction in their hearts, and they felt that Kuai Liang played tricks on them. Originally, they thought Kuai Liang attached great importance to it, but now they don't think so.

Pumpkin?

They are both capable people, but they are sent to collect food. What is the arrangement? Whether Xun you or Zhang Liao, they are all proud people.

They thought that Kuai Liang would arrange reasonable government affairs for them, but they never thought it was such a thing.

Kuai Liang looked at their expressions and said nothing.

Pumpkin is a gift from heaven, such an important thing, entrusted in the hands of the two, has been the value of Xun you and Zhang Liao. Not ordinary people. He can't arrange it yet.

Xun you pressed down his dissatisfaction and asked, "what is pumpkin?"

Kuai Liang looks very calm, light said: "I have said, pumpkin is a gift. Since ancient times, it has never appeared. I have lived for an age, and I have never seen it. Your majesty is blessed only when he is blessed by God. "

As a witness of Liu Xiu's miracle, Kuai Liang's worship of Liu Xiu has long been rooted in his heart.

When he was in Xiangyang, he saw something about Tianjiang meteorite.

In the palace, he witnessed the pumpkin seeds.

In the field, he saw ten acres of sweet potato seedlings appear out of thin air.

One by one, it shows that Liu Xiu is favored by God. Therefore, Kuai Liang believes that it is extremely sacred and meaningful to hand over the pumpkin storage to Xun you and Zhang Liao.Xun you didn't believe it.

As a son of the Xun family, Xunyou traveled all over the world and had a wide range of knowledge. Xun you didn't believe in the so-called miracles.

The same is true of Zhang Liao.

Both of them have doubts and discontent in their hearts.

Xun you had already surrendered to Liu Xiu. After hearing Kuai Liang's explanation, he didn't refute it. He just asked, "Kuai Shoufu, the task of Zhang Wenyuan and I is to collect the ripe pumpkins and send them to the warehouse?"

"Yes

Kuai Liang nodded and said, "the mature pumpkins in the field are picked by farmers. Then, all the pumpkins will be carried out, weighed, registered, and escorted into the granary by soldiers

After a pause, Kuai Liang said, "I won't say anything superfluous. The more you say it, the more confused you are. It's not complicated. With your ability and insight, it must be more than enough. But you don't understand. It will be clear when you see it. "

Xun you nodded his head and answered without expression.

Zhang Liao sighed in his heart.

Two people got the task, no excitement, also did not feel valued, feel idle. Yesterday, Kuai Liang received them ceremoniously, but today, he felt cold in his heart.

Kuai Liang said, "come on!"

A servant came in. Kuai Liang said, "please come here."

"Here it is

The attendant went down immediately.

Yang Shu is an old man under Liu Xiu's command. At the beginning, Liu Xiu set up a scientific examination in Xiangyang. Yang Shu passed the examination and became Liu Xiu's man. Later Liu Xiu became king, and Yang Shu became an official in the palace of the king of Chu. After he moved his capital to Luoyang, Yang also went to Luoyang, and now he is an official in the Ministry of household affairs.

After a while, Yang Shu came in.

Yang Shu looks calm. When he meets Kuai Liang, he bows his hand and says, "my next officer, Yang Shu, I'd like to see you."

Kuai Liang nodded: "the task of collecting pumpkin is now in the charge of Xun you and Zhang Liao. In the early days, you were also dealing with the expropriation of pumpkin. Now, you take them to get familiar with the expropriation. "

"Here it is

Yang should go down.

Yang Shu looked at Xun you, waved his hand and said, "two adults, please follow me."

Xunyou and zhangliao bid farewell to Kuai Liang, and then followed yang to leave the government.

Xun you followed Yang Shu and asked, "Yang Shu, is pumpkin really a gift from heaven?" For the so-called pumpkin, Xun you still had a suspicious attitude in his heart, and did not believe that the pumpkin was given by God.

Yang Bi heard the speech and stopped.

He suddenly laughed and explained, "Lord Xun was under Cao Cao's command before. I didn't know pumpkin was normal. In fact, before I saw the pumpkin, I doubted it. But when you really see it, you will know that what you said is true. Pumpkin is really a gift from heaven. "

"Seriously?"

Zhang Liao questioned.

Yang Shu solemnly nodded his head and said, "nature is true, and there is no falsehood. Two adults are in charge of this. I'll take you to the field. When you see the pumpkin, you'll understand. "

"All right!"

Xun you nodded.

He wants to see what kind of food pumpkin is.

Zhang Liao is also curious.

They left Luoyang City by carriage and went outside. After about ten miles, the carriage stopped. They got out of the carriage and walked along the mountain road for a quarter of an hour before they came to a beautiful place.

Here, there are soldiers stationed.

Yang Shu handed over a sign, introduced the identities of Xun you and Zhang Liao, and took them into the area protected by the soldiers. After walking less than three miles, Yang Shu stopped.

There are pumpkins all over the mountains and fields.

The vines of each pumpkin are luxuriant, occupying all corners of the field. Because pumpkins are easy to grow and survive, they are also planted on some steep slopes.

Pointing to the vast fields, Yang Shu said, "you two, this is just a part of the pumpkin in Luoyang. Throughout Luoyang, most of the fields are planted with pumpkins. "

Xun you looked around and saw the big leaves one by one, as well as the flowers and bones of the pumpkin.
