Back to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 372: Old farmer's gossip

Seeing that the two were stupid on the spot, Chen Lang couldn't help being amused, and said sternly, "What are you doing in a daze!"

The two dared not defy Chen Lang's military order and glared at each other angrily and walked over. Looking at each other, he gritted his teeth and opened his arms and hugged him, so two big men with five big and three thick hugged each other tightly on the teaching field. When the soldiers around saw this scene, they felt very funny and couldn't help laughing.

The two quickly separated and glared at each other angrily.

Chen Lang couldn't help having a headache when seeing that the two of them were still like this. I want to solve the problem between the two of them, but I can't think of a good way. Feeling that nothing will happen to this matter, I temporarily put it aside.

Later that day, Chen Lang, accompanied by Dian Wei Zhang Fei and the fangs, rode slowly on the official road. At this time, it was midsummer. Although the sun was slanting to the west, the whole land was still a bright scene; there were waves on both sides of the official road, and the green ocean could not be seen to the end. The fragrance of wheat was constantly coming. It was refreshing; the farmers who had worked for a day packed up their farm tools and sang farm songs to go home along the ridge, while the farms in the distance were full of smoke and laughter from the children from time to time. This is really a beautiful pastoral scene.

Chen Lang saw an old farmer walking towards him with his farm tools. He stopped his horse and said hello: "Old man!"

The old farmer stopped and looked up and saw Chen Lang. He saw that the other party was very energetic riding a tall horse. He hurriedly put down his farm tools and saluted: "The son told me something is wrong?" Since Chen Lang and his party were all in casual clothes, the old farmer did not guess them. identity of.

Chen Lang pointed to the endless wheat field in front of him, and said with a smile: "The wheat is growing very well this year!"

The old farmer couldn't help but glanced at the wheat field next to him, and said with great joy: "Thanks to the general, the weather this year will be smooth and it will definitely be a great harvest year!"

Chen Lang smiled and asked, "Is the old man a local?"

The old farmer shook his head and said, "No. I'm here from Bingzhou."

Chen Lang asked again: "How are your days? Have you encountered any troubles in the ordinary?"

The old farmer laughed and said, "Have a good life! There is nothing to worry about. Every day I just go down to the fields and do things. I can enjoy it comfortably when I get home! No need to worry about anything! Now there is a house, and my son too. Marry a daughter-in-law, don’t mention how beautiful the days are!"

Chen Lang couldn't help feeling a sense of accomplishment when he heard what the old farmer said. Asked: "Old man, are you satisfied with the local government?"

The old farmer smiled and said, "What else can I say about the officials under the generals? They are all very good people! They are very polite when they see me as a grassroots! Even if there are bad officials. He was quickly dealt with by the general! Just like the old man Liang Cao a month ago.” At this point, the old peasant showed an expression of anger, "The old man Liang Cao relied on his identity as an official prince, and he set his own name. Not to mention the tax collection, we also robbed the women of the people! The old head of Li couldn't bear it anymore, so he went to Luoyang Mansion to file a complaint. We originally thought that the officials would protect each other, and the old Li head would be useless, but we didn't expect Luoyang Mansion the next day. So someone came and arrested Master Liang Cao, and rescued the daughter of the old head! I heard that Master Liang Cao was sentenced to twenty years in prison.

It's so happy! "The old farmer was very excited when he said about it.

The old farmer continued: "Now everyone is not afraid of encountering a bad master! Anyway, Lord Chen Gong and the general will be the masters for us!"

Chen Lang smiled, and said, "Old man, the general often fights abroad, so it's not good."

The old farmer raised his eyebrows immediately, looking very angry, and said in an irritating manner: "What is the son? The general is not going to fight. Does he have to wait for others to fight us? I think the son should not be an ordinary person, how can he be? To say something so ignorant? To be honest, the old don’t want to fight, but as the general and Lord Chen Gong said, we are like many different animals in the forest! It will become a strong food. Sheep don’t want to be eaten by tigers, but if he doesn’t want to, tigers won’t eat him? That’s impossible. Talking about humanity and morality to tigers is just a fool's ridiculous behavior! Sheep don’t want to be eaten. If you fail, you can only turn yourself into a tiger to eat others! So war is inevitable. Although we don’t like it, we have to face it! The generals go to **** battles every time, and those of us who can’t help are yet again. I'm ashamed to be moved! The son seems to be reading that Confucius book and his brain is broken. I don't care if I read that kind of book, it's better to read something else!"

Chen Lang couldn't help but feel very pleased when he heard the old peasant's remarks. He only felt that the education policies implemented by local governments during this period were really not in vain! Even if this is the case for an old farmer, the thinking and concepts of the entire group of people can be seen in general! The people's thinking and concepts can be reversed so quickly, perhaps because of the fact that Confucianism has not yet fully penetrated the entire society in this era. After all, it has only been more than three hundred years since the abolition of a hundred schools of Confucianism. If you change to the Song Dynasty, it will be difficult to change the influence of Confucianism.

Zhang Fei said with joy: "The people are so supportive of Big Brother, we finally did not have to work in vain!"

Chen Lang smiled.

It is said that Lu Bu returned home after leaving the barracks and yelled anxiously as soon as he entered the door: "Madam, madam, get hot water for me, I want to take a shower and change clothes!"

Yan Shi and Lu Lingqi walked out quickly. Seeing Lu Bu hurriedly take off their shirts, they couldn't help feeling very depressed. Yan asked, "Where is the husband going to the banquet? Why are you so impatient?"

Lu Bu cursed angrily: "It's not because of that nasty black guy! I hugged him today, and my whole body is not right! I have to take a bath right away!" Then he frowned and looked disgusted. With a look, he cursed: "I seem to have a stinky smell, it must be the smell of the black guy!" Seeing that her mother and daughter were still staring at each other in a daze, they couldn't help but shout: "What are you guys doing in a daze! Go ahead!" "The mother and daughter hurried to the backyard bathhouse.

Chen Gong was handling official affairs at the government office, and the yelling came to report: "My lord, Mr. Dong from the Dong family is here, please see my lord."

Chen Gong put down the official document and said with a smile: "It's finally here." Then he ordered: "Lord Dong, please come in." The yavier clasped his fists and retreated. After a while, I saw the yavier leading a fifty-year-old dressed in a plain and melancholy manner. The extraordinary middle-aged man came in. As soon as the man saw Chen Gong, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Caomin Dong Cheng pays homage to the lord!" The middle-aged man who came originally was not someone else, but was Dong Cheng, the contemporary paternal head of the Dong family, one of the four great families in Luoyang. Hehe, do you feel familiar when you see this name? Friends who have watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms will surely remember this person. That's right, he is the head of the country who was ruined by the useless emperor in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Chen Gong quickly got up and walked in front of Dong Cheng and helped him up. He smiled; "Master Dong is a famous man of the Han Dynasty, and his disciples are all over the world. I don't dare to be such a great gift to Master Dong!" Seeing Chen Gong like this, Dong Cheng couldn't help but feel relieved a lot.

Chen Gong asked Dong Cheng to sit down, then returned to his seat and sat down, smiling and asking: "Master Dong suddenly came to visit, is it because of the few minions who caused trouble?"

Dong Cheng looked ashamed, and clasped his fists, saying: "I am really ashamed! I have always warned them, but I didn't expect them to be so reckless! It really hurts me too!"

Chen Gong smiled and said, "Master Dong doesn't have to be ashamed. Some people are born with thieves, and how to teach them is useless. Only severe punishments can warn these people!"

Dong Cheng's expression changed slightly, and he asked cautiously: "Dare to ask the adults, I don't know, I don't know how the adults will deal with this matter?"

Chen Gong smiled and said: "Naturally, we should deal with them in accordance with the law. These people provoked trouble and dared to offend the lord, the crime is not light! I estimate that they will be sentenced to three to five years in prison."

Dong Cheng stubbornly said: "But I don't know, I don't know, what is the attitude of the adults and the generals to the responsibility of neglecting discipline?"

Chen Gong smiled and said, "This is the purpose of Master Dong's visit today. Master Dong is worried that the main Guild will be similar to the end of the Li family because of this matter, right."

Dong Cheng nodded, his face was full of worry, and he clasped his fists and said, "My lord, please tell me, what is the Lord's attitude toward this matter? It is death or alive, so we should be prepared for the Dong family!"

Chen Gong smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Master Dong is overwhelmed! This matter is completely different from that of the Li family. At the beginning, the Li family's son was guilty of the crime of provoking troubles and robbing civilians. In fact, the Li family did not cooperate with the investigation. He also used his influence to mobilize civil and official forces to try to fight the law! This is a felony! Huh, he is looking for a dead end! The lord's confiscation of the Li family is also carried out according to the law, not because of personal likes and dislikes! Although the servants of the Dong family are breaking the law now, your Master Dong and the entire Dong family have not protected criminals and marched against the law. This is completely different from the Li family at the beginning. How can the lord punish the Dong family for no reason? Isn't this the case? I messed up the law? This is something the lord absolutely forbids. How can I do it myself!"

When Dong Cheng heard Chen Gong's words, he couldn't help but feel relieved, but he was still a little worried. After all, those rumors...

Chen Gong saw Dong Cheng's thoughts and smiled and said, "Master Dong must be worried about the rumor! He said that the lord wanted to follow the example of Qin Shihuang who burned books and pit Confucianism!" Dong Cheng did not deny, looking at Chen Gong.

Chen Gong smiled and said: "The lord once said clearly that he would never do this kind of thing! Master Dong don't have to worry!"
