Cui Yan hurriedly let out half of his seat and asked for help, "I don't know that General Ao came to visit late at night, and he was in a hurry to welcome him." Ao Lie said with a smile: "Brother Ji Gui, I respect you as my brother, but you call him a general. Is this unfair?" As he said, he walked into Cui Yan's room.

Cui Yan was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "I want to call the general "Your brother, but I don't know what the general is." Ao Lie was speechless. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, men would perform the ceremony of crowning when they were twenty years old. Generally, people gave the words "Preface" by elders in their family. Some had the words "Preface" in advance, but they had to wait until the wedding, in order to make the elders of the woman call their son-in-law. Now Ao Lie is only ten years old, and he is not at the age of crowning, and he has not married Cai Yan, so where did he get the words "Preface"?

"Okay, Brother Ji Gui, just call him whatever he wants." Ao Lie was defeated by Cui Yan and said with a little annoyance. Cui Yan looked at Ao Lie's expression and couldn't help but chuckled: "The general is successful and has gained such a great reputation before he was old. Everyone calls him the "little overlord". The emperor even issued an edict to personally enthrone General Weiyuan. What else does the general have to worry about?"

Ao Lie moved his heart and said seriously: "I have a troublesome visit this late-night visit. I hope Brother Ji Gui can solve the problem." Cui Yan was just a joke, but when he saw Ao Lie serious, he couldn't help but say, "It's okay to say it, General." Ao Lie reached out to ask Cui Yan to sit down, then sat opposite Cui Yan, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Brother Ji Gui is a famous scholar in the world. Lie wants to ask Brother Ji Gui for a word. When today, chaos has appeared, like

Now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has not yet subsided, Yu Tang is in charge of all places; the beacon of Xiliang has risen again, and Han Sui uses troops to establish himself, and his heart is punished; the northern border has been invaded by the Huns, Wuhuan and Xianbei for years, and the people are already suffering from the sufferings; in the temple, the emperor is blinded by the relatives and eunuchs, and the saints are not satisfied; in addition, the relatives and eunuchs are fighting in internal struggles, most of the loyal ministers and generals are discouraged and live in the mountains and forests. Lie dares to ask Brother Ji Gui, how can this situation bring the great Han Dynasty to regain its glory?"

After hearing Ao Lie's words, Cui Yan frowned together, and there was worry between his eyebrows. He sighed, and Cui Yan said, "I'm not hiding it from the general. Every time late at night, Yan also thought hard about how to revive the court and recreate the glory of my great Han Dynasty. But I thought about it over and over again, alas, this matter is difficult!"

Ao Lie said slowly: "It is true. But as a great man, he is a relative of the Han family. Although he has been changed to a foreign surname, he has the bloodline passed down by Emperor Gaozu in his body. Even if he is crushed to pieces, he will shed the last drop of blood for the stormy Han Dynasty!" Cui Yan praised: "The general is indeed ambition! Good spirit!"

Ao Lie waved his hand and said, "I thought that the foreign policy must be settled first. Take my Youzhou for example. After my father took office, he successively issued policies to benefit the people, recruited more than 100,000 refugees from Qingzhou, encouraged production, lighted taxes and reduced taxes. In the long run, I asserted that within three years, Youzhou will be in a new atmosphere, the people will live and work in peace, and the soldiers will be elite and brave. At that time, the country will be rich and the people will be strong, and only then can they use troops to the barbarians."

Cui Yan listened to Ao Lie's plan and his heart was swelling for a moment. He couldn't help but praise: "The general guided the mountains and rivers, his demeanor and his knowledge were extraordinary. Yan admired him!"

After a change of the topic, Ao Lie continued, "I can only regret that Lie is young and cannot be like a brother. He enters the court as a general and serves the emperor. If someone is able to enter the court as an official in the future, he will do his best to support the Han Dynasty."

Speaking of this, the two people in the room couldn't help but feel silent. In today's world, those who are capable are excluded and cannot enter the core circle of the court's power. Instead, those who flatter and seek fame are in a high position. Even if there are a few capable and knowledgeable loyal ministers, they are not favored by Emperor Ling. The constructive proposals made by Emperor Ling were blinded by Emperor Ten, and they rejected them one by one.

After being silent for a long time, Ao Lie said: "Well, Lie is gentle and has a sensual heart, what's the use of having a passion?" Cui Yan shook his head sadly and said: "As a Han minister, we can't solve the problems of the Han Dynasty. We feel guilty."

Ao Lie suddenly raised his head, looked at Cui Yan with his eyes open, and said slowly: "This late-night visit has only one meaning. Lie asks Brother Ji Gui, if Lie encounters difficulties in the journey to support the Han Dynasty in the future, I hope Brother Ji Gui will help you."

Well? Cui Yan carefully savored the meaning of Ao Lie's words. Is this recruitment? Or is it a test? Cui Yan asked calmly: "What does the general mean?" Ao Lie said: "I think that the Han Dynasty will soon have a turmoil. The dispute between the foreign relatives and eunuchs will eventually be divided. If this dispute can be resolved within the scope of the court, it will be an opportunity to revive the court. However, once the struggle between the two sides is in a stalemate, neither side will sit and wait for death. At that time, this turmoil will probably cause disaster to the entire Han Dynasty." It has to be said that having more than two thousand years later will be of great benefit to Ao Lie. In history, the general He Jin led Dong Zhuo to Beijing during this period, and then made Dong Zhuo abolish the emperor and gain power. In the end, the princes of all walks of life have their own troops and cause chaos in the world.

At this moment, Cui Yan carefully deduced it in his heart, and the conclusion he came to coincide with what Ao Lie said! Although Cui Yan is good at internal affairs, he is not ignorant of political struggles. It is not difficult to deduce the situation in the future according to the direction proposed by Ao Lie.

Seeing Cui Yan for a long time, Ao Lie knew that Cui Yan had expected the result, but this result was really hard for him, who was loyal to the Han Dynasty. Ao Lie said straightforwardly: "Brother Ji Gui, I do intend to recruit you, but I also know that I don't have that capital yet. Therefore, I hope that Brother Ji Gui can help you at the right time in the future."

Looking at the honest Ao Lie, Cui Yan was moved. In terms of official positions, he was taller than Ao Lie, and in terms of age, he was older than Ao Lie. Therefore, Ao Lie did not directly ask himself to join his command, but asked himself to come out to help him when Ao Lie had the capital to support the Han Dynasty in the future. Cui Yan stood up and bowed to Ao Lie: "The general is ambitious, Yan already knows. If the Han Dynasty is facing a collapse as the general said in the future, then when the general raises his arms, it will be the day when Yan and his family come to surrender."

Ao Lie held Cui Yan's hands happily and said loudly, "A gentleman's word!" Cui Yan glanced at Ao Lie deeply, and then said, "It's hard to chase after you!"

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Ao Lie said goodbye to Cui Yan. Cui Yan pondered for a while and suddenly said, "General, although Yan cannot follow the general now, he feels deeply ambitions. Yan has an old friend who has talent for heaven and earth. Yan is willing to write a letter to let this old friend join the general's command."

Ao Lie asked, "Do you dare to ask Brother Ji Gui's old friend, who is respected as a great name?" Cui Yan replied, "My friend is from Yingchuan, with the surname Xun Yu and Wenruo. He is also a little famous in Yingchuan. But he refused to become an official, and he is still white now." Ao Lie was once again caught by Lei, who? Xun Yu? Xun Yu, the talented king and Zun who became famous in the world in the future? At that moment, Ao Lie was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Cui Yan. Cui Yan didn't know why Ao Lie was so enthusiastic about Xun Yu, but he just thought that Ao Lie was respectful to the wise man, so he wrote Ao Lie's enthusiasm into the letter. It was Cui Yan's easy-to-use approach that made Xun Yu come to Youzhou and after searching among the people, he confirmed that Ao Lie had the potential of a wise ruler, and then joined Ao Lie's command. This is a later story.

After saying goodbye to Cui Yan, Ao Lie was in a good mood. Unexpectedly, he was just thinking about convincing Cui Yan, but he didn't expect to involve the king's talent Xun Yu. Back in the room, Ao Lie saw that Shuang'er had brought a basin of water and was about to wait for him to wash up. Ao Lie was in a good mood and couldn't help but have the idea of ​​making a prank, so he quietly came behind Shuang'er, reached out to cover Shuang'er's eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister Shuang'er, guess who am I?"

The moment Shuang'er was covered with his eyes, his body began to struggle violently, but after hearing Ao Lie's words, he stopped struggling and burst out laughing. Ao Lie was confused and continued to say in a hoarse voice: "Don't laugh! Otherwise I will tie you up!" Shuang'er laughed even more violently, and while chuckling, he said: "Second Young Master, you don't pretend to be like you at all."

Upon hearing this, Ao Lie let go of his hands and asked strangely: "Sister Shuang'er, how did you find me?" Shuang'er covered his mouth and smiled: "Sister Shuang'er Shuang'er, just reveal your name, so others wouldn't call me that." Ao Lie suddenly realized, and he didn't expect that he had made such a low-level mistake.

Awkwardly smiled, Ao Lie tried to get rid of the predicament in front of him: "Well, Sister Shuang'er, how are the golden silk leaves sold recently?" Shuang'er stopped giggling, thought seriously, and said: "In the past few months, I have made all the earthy fragrance brought from Jiuyuan into golden silk leaves. Now it has been sold almost. I have made about 50,000 yuan. In addition, the old man brought the golden silk leaves from Jiangdong and sold them at a price equal to gold, but I don't know how much money I earn."

Ao Lie, who was originally just a random question, was shocked when he heard Shuang'er's answer. He didn't expect that the golden silk leaves were so easy to sell. In just a few months, he actually made more than 50,000 yuan. This is not the part that my grandfather brought to Jiangdong. It seems that he has to increase the scale of producing golden silk leaves. This is a very profitable craft. He has to find some trustworthy people to participate. Turn the money earned into arms and arm it into the army. What is the battle against? The battle is financial resources! Whoever has more capital and more resources will be the most confident of achieving the final victory. He has mastered advanced technology and can make a fortune in silence. What is the reason not to expand the scale? Isn't there a famous saying in later generations that technology is the primary productive force!

After thinking about it, Ao Lie asked Shuang'er: "Sister Shuang'er, I remember you said that in your hometown Youbeiping, there are a lot of earth fragrances that make golden silk leaves growing, right?" Shuang'er nodded without hesitation: "That's right, I still remember the lushest hillsides where the earth fragrances grow." Ao Lie lowered his head and thought for a while, and had a rough frame in his heart, and then asked Shuang'er: "Then are there anyone around you who are trustworthy and know Tu Xiang?"

Shuang'er thought, and said, "There are many people who know Tuxiang in my hometown, but I don't know if they still live in their hometown. The barbarians in the north always come over, and they may move away. As for the people around me, there are Wan'er, Yuzhu, Lotus, and well, and Xiaoyan, and others will be gone."

Ao Lie asked, "Is the four of them trustworthy?" Shuang'er patted her chest and said, "They are all good sisters who came out of my hometown with me. I believe them, just like you, you trust me!" Because of Shuang'er's movements, the two peaks on her chest that had begun to take shape violently, but she herself didn't know it. Ao Lie almost bit her tongue when she saw it.

After rubbing his forehead and taking a few breaths, Ao Lie continued, "That's it. In two days, you can bring four of them to my room. I have something to do." Shuang'er agreed happily, then turned around to get the basin, trying to serve Ao Lie to wash. When she bent down, her delicate figure was revealed, and her round buttocks were facing Ao Lie. Seeing Ao Lie's heartbeat again.

He quickly turned his head and Ao Lie forced himself to defend himself: No wonder ancient people got married so early, it was clearly a physiological need! How many people can control this maid who is like a flower every day? Fortunately, my brother is a determined person.

In the end, Ao Lie did not forget to praise himself, and completely forgot how embarrassed he was when he saw Shuang'er's jade breasts and buttocks just now.
