Chapter 90: Improvement of the Cultural Context [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

Wait until Jia Xu also leaves the study.

Cao Cao rubbed his brows. During the time he was in Chenliu, he had Xun Yu and others to share the responsibilities. But it was much busier than in Luoyang. Fortunately, he had Yu Qing, who was able to treat his illness in time, and his headache did not flare up.

Cao Cao closed the scroll and prepared to go back to his bedroom to sleep.

Before leaving, open the entry for self-check:

[You are the governor of Chenliu (in charge of a region), and you are in charge of civil and military officials, with a total of 21142 soldiers and horses.

Loyal direct subordinates: 11895 people, including three counselors and military advisors]

[To the military advisor Xi Zhicai: He is physically weak and overthinks. He should be given medicine that warms his body and mind, which can increase his lifespan. Otherwise, he is in danger of dying young.]

[Your troops: 5362 (obey orders)

2387 people (obeyed)

1731 people (loyal)...】

Cao Cao's position became the governor of Chenliu, and his subordinates of all levels doubled, providing him with a stable amount of prestige.

Entry tips: For each rear item, there are specific notations for military generals, counselors, and civil officials.

The reputation is about to cross the 40,000 mark.

Cao Cao left the study and walked towards the inner house.

The tiger cub appeared out of nowhere, followed him, and walked back together with him in a fierce and ferocious manner.

Cao Cao walked a few steps, squatted down and picked up the little guy.

The two-month-old tiger cub has gained some weight, with a strong frame and plump flesh, but its eyes are bright and tender, and it does not yet have the power of a wild beast.

When picked up by Cao Cao, it quickly spread out its claws and exposed its claws, as if to prove that it had grown up, and bared its teeth in a fierce and cute expression.

The Taishou Mansion was located in the center of Chenliu County, and was surrounded by residences of county officials, with houses stretching continuously.

The palace has a structure of an outer courtyard within an inner courtyard, with four courtyards in front and back, and a square shape.

The third courtyard has houses facing north and south, each with its own independent small courtyard, where female members such as Diao Chan, Chen Ying, and Zhen Yan live.

The main hall in the middle is where Cao Cao and Yu Qing live.

The outer courtyard was garrisoned by imperial troops.

After discussing matters in the study, Chen Ying returned to her and Zhen Yan's residence, talked to Zhen Yan, and went behind the screen to change her outer clothes.

She unbuttoned her outer shirt, revealing a bra wrapper underneath.

After removing the restraints, one can see that he is a person with a wealth of inner beauty.

Chen Ying looked down at herself and sighed worriedly.

"You said the other day that you received news that Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Taifu in Luoyang. Are you okay?"

Zhen Yan has recovered from her serious injuries.

Chen Ying was Yuan Ji's nominal concubine.

After Yuan Ji was killed, she became a widow.

"I married the Grand Coachman to facilitate my work in Luoyang. I have no marital relationship with him. Besides, I have learned the art of assassination and have long been indifferent to life and death. I will kill Dong Zhuo and avenge him in the future."

Chen Ying said: "When I left Luoyang, the Grand Tutor told me not to be surprised even if I heard that he was killed by Dong Zhuo, and told me to go to Yuan Benchu.

But in the short term, we can borrow Cao Cao's power to deal with Dong Zhuo."

Zhen Yan came closer and raised her hand to the edge of the screen: "Master, do you think that Governor Cao can deal with Dong Zhuo?"

"The Grand Tutor sent Cao Taishou to Chenliu with the intention of having him share the pressure from Luoyang and respond to Luoyang from the outside."

Chen Ying changed into a casual outfit with a lining, walked out and said:
"Grand Administrator Cao has been in Chenliu for a month and has repeatedly resorted to trickery. It is clear that the Grand Master is right."

"Prefect Cao, what have you been doing recently?" Zhen Yan asked.

"He is gradually disbanding the original soldiers in Chenliu in batches and sending them back to the local area to farm."

"what?"

"It seems that Governor Cao is trying a system called military farming. Except for the elite troops, the other soldiers are integrated with farmers. The purpose is to allow the people and soldiers to recuperate, engage in farming, and promote production."

"These past few days, I have also been trying to understand this system of soldiers and civilians being one."

Chen Ying showed a thoughtful look: "The more I think about it, the more I think it is suitable for the current situation in the world. It can calm the people and promote the recovery of production."

"It can also reserve a large number of soldiers and improve the combat effectiveness of the entire nation." "But he seems to be very short of money and food recently. During several meetings, Zhang Wenyuan asked for more military preparations each time. They have more money and food to support more than 10,000 soldiers, so they can have more than enough to support 30,000 soldiers in another place."

Zhen Yan said "oh" and seemed to be thinking about something.

Chen Ying turned to chatting:

"Have you seen the girl named Diao Chan beside the governor Cao? Judging from her appearance, I'm afraid that only your little girl, if she is a little older, can compare with her."

"Are you talking about my eldest brother's little niece Zhen Mi? She has grown up now. I haven't seen her for a whole year. She was the closest to me when she was a child."

Zhen Yan suddenly asked, "Have you reported everything that happened to Governor Cao in Chenliu to Grand Tutor Yuan?"

Chen Ying nodded: "Yes, Governor Cao also knows this."

"He wanted to obtain Yuan's resources from the Grand Tutor. The Grand Tutor wanted to use him to contain Dong Zhuo, so that both sides could gain what they needed."

"If he didn't want me to know, he wouldn't let me participate in their discussions."

……

Sleeping hall.

Yu Qing fiddled with the jewelry.

His father Yu Wen came to Chenliu and stayed there for a few days before returning to the Yu family in Yecheng.

In the past few days, a lot of people have been sent to bring many things to my daughter.

Hearing Cao Cao's footsteps, Yu Qing turned around with a smile and said, "Husband, do you think I look better wearing a headdress or a crown?"

After nightfall, Yu Qing wore a chiffon Liuxian dress, her long legs faintly visible from under the skirt, looking exceptionally charming.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "It looks good even without wearing anything."

Yu Qing snorted, her eyes charming.

The prefect's mansion did not have a warm pool like the one in Luoyang, so Yu Qing had someone build one themselves, using green bamboo as pipes. With just a command, hot water would flow endlessly.

She immediately pulled Cao Cao to the back of the corridor in the bedroom to bathe Cheng Huan.

An hour later, Yu Qing fell asleep exhausted, with a faint smile on his lips.

As soon as it was light in the sky, Cao Cao got up and went to the quiet room next to the bedroom. He sat in meditation and entered a state of regulating his breathing, breathing in the energy of heaven and earth.

There are nine realms and eighteen strategies in the current practice of supernatural powers.

But Cao Cao followed the instructions in the entry and only used the realm as a reference.

His practice, blessed by the good fortune derived from his reputation, improved rapidly.

The cultural core in his sea of ​​consciousness underwent new changes and grew faster after he became the prefect of Chenliu and got the opportunity to govern the local area and to gather public opinion.

At this time, Cao Cao had just started practicing, and the entry appeared:
[You are in charge of a region, and millions of people benefit or suffer from the policies and decisions you issue. They share weal and woe with you.]

[If you are good at governing, the people will benefit and will return to you the good fortune of public opinion.

You have become the governor of a county, and the troops under your command have repeatedly swept through the bandits and rioters in Chenliu in recent days, and the people have benefited from it.

[You collected rice seeds and posted notices to encourage people's livelihood. The people all saw it. Your literary talent initially gathered public opinion and generated the official seal of luck]

[Your contextual talent: +0.1+0.1+0.1…92. All your context-related skills have been improved.]

Cao Cao's literary talent is of the legendary level, with an initial rating of 91, which is very difficult to improve.

This is the first time that the growth has been so significant, reaching 92.
From being a captain of the Xiyuan Army to being the prefect of Chenliu, it was equivalent to a job change. Governing the local government would bring him more great fortune than controlling the Xiyuan Army.

Cao Cao closed his eyes and practiced, and the vital energy of heaven and earth he absorbed was also different from before.

A strong and powerful energy was drawn into the body from the fontanelle on the top of the head, circulated around his body, and traveled through the meridians.

Every time you take in air, you can feel yourself improving and progressing.

Half an hour later, he finished his practice and felt refreshed.

By this afternoon, he was in the study.

The personal soldiers came in to report that the team of tomb robbers that Jia Xu had found had arrived.

"Send them in."

Cao Cao said, "Let Jia Wenhe come over as well."
