I, Dong Zhuo, love the people like a son

Due to the wind and sun, the complexion has also become like a faintly shiny bronze.The two eyebrows are not so thin and short, they have become thick and black and long, and after the swollen face has been thinned, the bridge of the nose is also straightened.

A pair of eyes are complex and flexible, deep and at the same time not lacking in a touch of domineering.There was a casual smile hanging on the thin lips, which had the uninhibited and mature flavor of a cool middle-aged uncle.

Coupled with living in a high position for more than half a year, the whole body gives people a kind of poise and composure, revealing a strong self-confidence and majesty.

"Have you changed?"

Turning his body a few times, Old Dong was so happy that he couldn't look away.After appreciating it, he looked at the resentful Empress Dowager He behind him and said, "Isn't this better?"

"Why?"

"Same person, two different feelings, wouldn't pleasure and excitement be super doubled?"

Empress Dowager He didn't react at the first moment, and then she punched Old Dong's chest with her small fists: "My friend, you are good or bad... Concubine has always been the only one in her body and mind."

"Really?" Old Dong asked knowingly, but shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."

"Of course

Seeing that Old Dong was obviously in a good mood, Empress Dowager He couldn't help but tell the truth: "Of course I only wanted to ask for one thing before.

life, but now it's different. "

"Is it because the old man lost weight?"

"No...uh, it's better to be thinner. I was always afraid that you would accidentally crush my concubine to death."

"So, that's why you've been more proactive?"

"Hmm" Empress Dowager He nodded subconsciously, and immediately became ashamed and annoyed when she realized it, Bangbang punched Old Dong twice again: "Taiwei, do you want to let the concubine speak well?"

"All right, tell me, the old man promises not to interrupt."

"In the past, my concubine was indeed like a drowning person. He would do anything to grab a straw for his argument, even though he felt ashamed and unwilling. Unexpectedly, the Taiwei really put his concubine's body in his heart.

"Although you slapped Bian'er, you still taught him well."

Empress Dowager He's tone was leisurely, and she was rarely serious and emotional: "Then I just said it casually, and you sincerely created such a teaching workshop, and handed it over to my concubine to manage it secretly."

"This is also your own ability, the old man is just throwing bricks to attract jade."

Old Dong also responded sincerely, saying: "For example, these clothes, since Old Dong made some uniforms, you have participated in the subsequent improvement and innovation, and you have a unique aesthetic vision."

"Besides, you are the queen mother of a big man, and you have trained the girls here very well. The rest of the choreography, programs, operations, etc., all perfectly meet the requirements of this old man."

At this time, he also understood why the Empress Dowager He seemed to have a different temperament today: Can a person find a career that he is good at and loves, can his spirit be changed from the inside out?

"Hey... Queen Mother He responded leisurely, but her voice was a little soft and trembling, and said coquettishly: "Didn't the Taiwei agree to stop interrupting...

concubine?'

"Is the old man interrupting just now?"

"The mouth didn't stop, but the hands didn't stop... Woohoo, slow down, my friend, the concubine won't run away again."

"The old man is not afraid of you running away, but I am afraid that you will not take the initiative from now on.

Hearing this, Empress Dowager He gave him a coquettish look

Then, this time, he was obviously more proactive.

Chapter 221

In the afternoon of the next day, Lao Dong, exhausted both physically and mentally, rushed to the field in the outskirts of Luoyang without hesitation. "Don't look, the old man has indeed lost weight, and his face looks better than before.'

Looking at Cai Yan's suspicious eyes in the car, he felt secretly refreshed but pretended to be calm: "Don't ask, it's the gift of the old man from heaven to live and return."

Cai Yan, who couldn't help looking at Old Dong quietly just now, immediately rolled her eyes: "The more you live, the more you go back, why don't you say you can rejuvenate?"

"As long as the old man is willing, it's okay."

Old Dong immediately smiled, feeling that human nature is quite interesting: If he finds excuses to deceive himself, the smart Cai Yan will definitely not believe it, and things will become more troublesome instead.

But if you tell her the truth, you will feel that you are joking, and you will not take this suspicion to heart.

This little thing tells Old Dong: To be a man, you must... be honest?

Do not,

It is necessary to be false and real, there is reality in the false, and there is false in the real.

Isn't this hypocrisy?

However, Lao Dong felt that this was the wisdom of life acquired after mastering human nature

When the great Han is unified in the future, he may also carry out lecture tours in thirteen states, and only charge [-] catties of gold for the rich in three sentences, so as to spread his wisdom and experience to benefit the people.

As the carriage got farther and farther away from the tall city walls of Luoyang, Old Dong found that there were many more post stations on the roadside than before.

Think about it, it should be the prosperity of newspapers that drives the development of this industry.He took out the binoculars and looked at it again, and found that the copy that the postman was carrying was already a paper version.

After working hard to make toilet paper, Zuo Bo worked hard, and finally used other raw materials to make paper that is no less than Zuo Bo paper, and the cost is also lower than bamboo slips and wood slips.

He was finally elated, but before he had time to show off, Old Dong sent him a new order: to invent ink that can be used for printing.

It is another task that requires countless experiments before it can be successful. It is foreseeable that before the printing technology is developed, Zuo Bo will most likely become the Edison of the late Han Dynasty, but not Faraday.

"These post stations... Looking at those post stations, Old Dong couldn't help frowning slightly, and suddenly realized that his previous thinking was a bit narrow: "It can be expanded to other uses. "

"What's your crooked idea?" Cai Yan said, but his eyes were on the telescope in his hand.

"I can completely turn the post station under my rule into a multi-functional transfer station that integrates official document copying, military post, civilian post, and logistics transfer. The most important thing is the function of espionage transmission."

"Although the thirteen prefectures of the Great Han Dynasty are not under the control of the Han Dynasty, they will not refuse the news brought by the post station."

"The old man can set up an espionage transmission agency belonging to the Taiwei Mansion in their post station, and regularly report on local policies, folk customs, weather, officials, whether the officials have made friends with foreign thieves, whether they have embezzled public funds, and whether they have Bao Xiaosan something

As he spoke, he couldn't help smiling, and continued: "Before, I just wanted to let Wei Zi use Zhangtai industry, as well as Luoyang's new commodities, such as paper and glass, to expand the scope of assassination of embroiderers."

"I never thought that the ready-made post station is right in front of me, and it is more suitable for the transfer of espionage. After returning this time, I must

"Should we implement it quickly?" Seeing him pause, Cai Yan asked unconsciously.

"Implementation must be implemented, and it must be combined with Zhangtai and Shangwu, using Zhangtai, Shangwu and other activities to spy, and the post station is responsible for transmission."

Old Dong nodded first, and then shook his head: "But this time when we go back, we have to reprimand Wen You first. I only know how to bury my head in the office all day long, but I still need to find out such a good way."

Cai Yan felt bitter immediately, and couldn't keep up with his strange brain circuit: "Think everyone is like you, doing nothing after the morning meeting?"

"Alas..." Old Dong's expression darkened when he heard the words, and he shook his head leisurely and said, "Yan'er, you have changed.

"In the past, 'uncle is long, uncle is short', and I was respectful and polite to the old man. Now I open my mouth and shut my mouth and roll my eyes, and I am no longer as gentle as before."

Cai Yan shook his head, with a nostalgic look on his face, and said angrily: "If uncle wants to go back to the beginning, please take your hands off your niece's lap first, okay?"

Old Dong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly there was a rogue smiling face: "Why do you go back, there is no turning back when you open the bow!"

Cai Yan didn't say much anymore, she was used to him touching her legs.

After feeling a little bored, he reached for the telescope in his hand and held it in front of his eyes curiously to fiddle with it: "What is this? It's also from a military factory?"

"Well, this is the processed product of the glass fired by the military factory. It is called 'a thousand miles at a glance'. Just put it in front of your eyes and adjust the length of the tube, and you can see the distant scenery clearly.'

Following Uncle Zuo's production of qualified paper, the military factory achieved remarkable results last month.After Ma Jun made Quyuanli under the guidance of Lao Dong, he successfully fired glass.

But Lao Dong didn’t sell it directly, he first sent some to his own house, the imperial palace, and other houses of good ministers, and then launched a wave of hunger marketing in the newsletter

In the Luoyang market, Li Shu, a commoner, only heard about it, but never actually saw it.

"Since it has been fired and the cost is extremely low, why not sell it directly?" Cai Yan asked absent-mindedly, pulling on the telescoping tube.

"Once a large amount is sold, how will the old man harvest the leeks of the rich and powerful?" Old Dong has no interest in extracting oil from the hungry, cold and impoverished Li common people, and he was one of them in his previous life.

But when it comes to wielding the sickle vigorously in the opposite direction and cutting the leeks of those famous families and powerful landlords, he is not only interested, but also very big!

"Let the news of the glass fly for a while, this old man is the only one here, the more it is not sold, the more others will think it is a treasure in the world.

"

"Then ship the goods slowly, firmly hold down the volume to maintain the scarcity of the glass, the old man can at least reap ten thousand times more profits

"A profit of more than ten thousand times?" Cai Yan shook his hand and almost dropped the telescope on the car board, his face paled: "Are you crazy?

"Glass can indeed replace copper mirrors, to illuminate people in every detail, and it can also be used to make windows as you said... The profit is more than ten thousand times, and it's not like you will die if you don't have this thing, people Why not buy it?"

"Of course I will buy it." The old Dong was very sure, and said, "It depends on how you sell it."

"Just make a lot of hype first, say that glass is the essence of jade, and try to exaggerate its value. Then make it into jewelry, and then make some brainwashing words."

"What's 'glass is forever, one piece will last forever', or 'a piece of glass shines brightly, and the love will be remembered forever', and what else is 'create a glass-like dream for you, so that you can live a happy life' and so on.'

"As long as glass is bound to love and marriage, and a social consensus of 'If you don't buy a glass ring, you don't love me' is created, someone will pay a large IQ tax."

As he spoke, he proudly patted Cai Yan's leg lightly: "Don't worry, this is a successful case.

"The unchanging evil of human beings for thousands of years is to drive up prices! As long as the publicity and hype work is done well and promoted from top to bottom, there will be a lot of money."

For a moment, Cai Yan's mood became complicated, and he picked up his hand and wanted to take it away from his lap: "It sounds feasible, but if you do this

.Don't you feel that your conscience will hurt?'

"Why would my conscience ache?"

Old Dong took advantage of the opportunity to take away his big hand, but took the opportunity to grab Cai Yan's soft waist: "I set the price of glass so high that the people of Li and the common people are discouraged, but the famous families and powerful landlords exploit the people, so they are full of food."

"After taking money from them, the old man puts it into the cause of benefiting the common people. Isn't that what the imperial court should do to smooth the social wealth divide?"

With a long look in his eyes, he seemed to think of something, and said: "At least, the old man didn't take the land back to the imperial court, and then used the necessary houses for marriage to harvest the common people of Li.'

Cai Yan thought about it, but still didn't know how to evaluate it.

Finally, he looked at Old Dong with a strange face, and concluded: "So, you are the 'Mercedes-Benz' you mentioned in your mouth, and you are not cheating the poor?"

Chapter 222

In the midsummer, the green waves in the fields roll gently with the breeze, which makes people feel refreshed.

Looking through the binoculars, Cai Yan could only see a large field, which was divided into pieces of black and yellow land, like a huge jagged chessboard.

Put down the binoculars, and what you see is farmers working hard on the vast wasteland.Although he was tired, he got up from time to time and beat his back to wipe his sweat, but there was no sorrow on his face, but a simple smile full of hope.

"It's the Taiwei's carriage!" A child who didn't know who was digging out a bird's nest in the field suddenly shouted.

In an instant, countless working farmers put down their farm tools and gathered in the direction of the carriage.The old Dong in the car was startled suddenly, and asked Dian Wei: "My subordinates, have you done anything outrageous recently, have you?"

Dian Wei didn't know this, he felt as if he was facing a big enemy.

Fortunately, the common people of Li and Shu were more concerned about their land than Old Dong, and many of them stopped running when they ran to the ridges of the fields, knelt down and shouted: "Little man, thank the Taiwei for his life!"

"Thank you Taiwei for rewarding me with the land!"

"Long live the Taiwei!"

The word "long live" was not exclusive to the emperor at the end of the Han Dynasty. It was a kind of blessing or excited praise. When the army returned from victory, the people would shout long live.

Toast or drink high, there will also be a "long live"

It is said that there are people who have been constipated for three days, and when they squatted in the pit, they suddenly became unobstructed and shouted 'Long live'

Presumably at that moment, he was sincere.

There are also some people who are close to each other, bow down in two rows on the road in the field.Seeing this situation, Old Dong ordered the coachman to stop, jumped off the carriage and said with a smile, "Hello, people."

The common people were stunned for a moment, and then someone suddenly realized, and replied loudly: "Hello Taiwei!"

"The people have worked hard."

“Serve the Han Dynasty!”

As soon as this process was completed, Old Dong knew that Xun Yu and others were doing their work in the field very meticulously.

But I couldn't help it, randomly selected a lucky audience, and said with empathy: "My fellow, how do you feel about the imperial court's work to help the people?"

The villagers looked dazed, they didn't have the quality of top counselors like Jia Xu and Xun You, so they couldn't understand these weird words.

Old Dong then said, "Did Xun Gongcao give you any land?"

"Send it, according to the Dingkou of the family, a total of [-] mu!"

The common people understood this kind of truth, and replied excitedly: "They also provided us with seeds, cattle, and agricultural tools, and said that the land will belong to us after three years of planting."

"The villain has done the math. Although the tax is high for the first three years, it is enough for our family. After three years of planting, life will get better."

Then he suddenly raised his head to look at Old Dong, and said, "Xun Gongcao also told us that the wasteland reclaimed during the period will also belong to villains after three years of planting?"
