Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 441 Banquet
When Da Qiao heard Xiao Qiao shouting so loudly, she quickly covered her mouth and said anxiously, "Sister, stop talking nonsense!"

Xiao Qiao nodded his little head like a chick pecking at rice.

Only then did Da Qiao release the hand that was covering her little mouth.

Xiao Qiao said excitedly: "Sister, you didn't lie to me, he really doesn't have a body like a blind bear?"

Da Qiao chuckled and said, "Why would I lie to you?"

"It's really not true."

Qiao Hao, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao walked out of the government office and stopped in a corner of the open space outside.

Qiao Hao also looked at Da Qiao curiously and asked, "He looks normal? And he's quite handsome? And he's only a few years older than you?"

Da Qiao covered her burning face with her hands and hummed softly.

Qiao Hao sighed, "May God have mercy on you. This is the blessing of our ancestors. They don't want you, Da Qiao, to suffer any injustice."

"Live well with the general from now on."

"Give birth to the general and don't cause him any trouble."

Da Qiao's pretty face, which had just faded, blushed again and she responded softly.

Xiao Qiao glanced at Da Qiao, and this time continued to look at the government hall in the distance.

Why doesn't she believe it?

I heard that this lecher can chop a man and a horse into pieces with one blow of his sword. With such strength, how come he looks like a normal person?
However, she had no way to verify it at the moment and could only wait for her sister to see him next time and go with her to take a look.

Zhang Sui took a nap.

But I didn't sleep well.

He fell asleep quickly.

After falling asleep, he has been in a dream.

In the dream, the female classmate in high school was wearing Hanfu and holding a long sword, chasing him and hacking at him, all the way from Chang'an City to Xia Pi City.

The hideous appearance frightened him so much that he trembled with fear throughout his dream.

He also saw a group of people running after them and laughing.

Zhang Sui woke up from his sleep, his clothes soaked with sweat.

Sitting up from the bed, Zhang Sui stared blankly at the end of the bed.

Everything in the dream was too real.

The last time he saw his high school deskmate, they were actually quite far away from each other and he couldn’t even see her face clearly.

At first glance, she hasn't changed much from high school, except that she has grown a little bit older, looks more mature, and more feminine.

And in his dream, he could even see the pores on her face clearly!
There are also fine lines on the red lips.

Zhang Sui vaguely recalled the scene before the college entrance examination when he wanted to kiss her secretly, and sighed.

It's in the past.

What are you thinking about?

Now that he had traveled through time and space, and was in someone else's body, the fate between the two of them was severed.

Besides, which one of them, Madam, Madam Du, Yuan Mi, Cai Wenji, Zhang Chunhua, and Hongyu, is not prettier than her?
What are you still thinking about doing?
The last time we met, didn’t that cold look in his eyes prove his attitude?

Zhang Sui slapped his cheeks several times to wake up, then left the room and went outside the government office to meet other people.

Outside the government office, Lujiang County Magistrate Liu Xie and Deputy Governor Jin Shang were entertaining everyone.

Tian Feng, Guo Jia and Sima Yi all went to rest.

When they saw Zhang Sui coming out, everyone gathered around him.

Zhang Sui was busy the whole afternoon.

At dusk, the dinner began and the talents from various noble families took their seats according to the arrangements.

Only then did Xiao Qiao see Zhang Sui clearly for the first time.

Seeing Zhang Sui sitting at the first seat, the family heads of various aristocratic families came forward with their juniors to toast Zhang Sui. Xiao Qiao was so surprised that her mouth could not close.

What a normal young man!

To be precise, some of them are like my cousins ​​at home.

But, for some reason, from a distance, he always felt that his cousins ​​were much inferior to him.

There was a slight smile on his face, and every move he made was full of nobility.

Xiao Qiao pulled Da Qiao's sleeve and said, "Sister, I want to see what his abdomen looks like! How could a military general look like this?" Da Qiao glared at her unhappily.

Finally, Qiao Hao also brought Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao to toast.

Tian Feng doesn't have much affection for Qiao Hao.

Tian Feng really looked down upon him as a mere businessman.

Zhang Sui, on the other hand, remained enthusiastic.

Zhang Sui held Qiao Hao's hand and praised Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao for their beauty, knowledge, manners, dignity and virtue. Finally, he encouraged Qiao Hao to do a good job, saying that he needed a businessman like Qiao Hao who worked hard for the country and the people.

Qiao Hao was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

He clearly felt the difference in enthusiasm between Zhang Sui and Tian Feng.

As the governor of Xuzhou, Zhang Sui was able to be more enthusiastic than Tian Feng, which was enough to show how much he valued him.

Qiao Hao held Zhang Sui's hand and repeatedly stated that he would follow Zhang Sui's lead and firmly cooperate with any policy of Zhang Sui.

After Zhang Sui toasted with all the noble families and wealthy businessmen, he explained his policy of relocating people from Lujiang County and attracting people from Jingzhou.

Especially the work-point system and the military farming system.

Zhang Sui did not force the aristocratic families to implement these two systems.

This is the same as Zhongshan County.

However, the construction of water conservancy projects requires the contribution of manpower, effort and money from the wealthy and powerful families.

Seeing that Zhang Sui was not prepared to take drastic measures against their interests, the aristocratic families did not oppose it much.

The aristocratic families who want to move out of Lujiang County will be compensated with land.

Tian Feng said that he would not return to Hebei in the future, but would stay in Xia Pi, Xuzhou, to help various aristocratic families seek welfare.

Although Tian Feng is from Hebei, not Xuzhou, his reputation in Hebei has spread over the years.

All the noble families expressed their admiration for him.

In addition, Zhang Sui also had the identities of Yuan Shao's son-in-law and Cai Yong's son-in-law.

The whole dinner was harmonious.

The day after the dinner, Zhang Sui appointed Tian Feng as the deputy governor of Xuzhou, responsible for assisting him in managing the daily affairs of Xuzhou.

In addition to his original position as Military Advisor and Lieutenant General, Chen Deng also served as the Commandant of Agriculture in Xuzhou.

This is Chen Deng’s main job.

When Chen Deng was under Tao Qian, he was the Captain of Agriculture and had made remarkable achievements.

Guo Jia served as the military advisor and chief academician.

Sima Yi served as the county magistrate of Qianshan County.

Qiao Hao was appointed as the magistrate of Xuzhou, under the jurisdiction of Li Ru, the magistrate of Xia Pi County.

The so-called city decree is mainly responsible for managing various commercial affairs and taxation.

Chen Gong was appointed by Zhang Sui as the chief clerk of Xuzhou.

Gao Lan was promoted to the position of Commandant of Xuzhou.

Zang Ba was appointed Commandant of Pengcheng.

Gao Shun was appointed as the Central Guard General.

In addition, Zhang Sui planned to open talent recruitment halls in Xia Pi, the capital of Xuzhou, and Qianshan County, the capital of Lujiang County, to recruit a group of young talents from the aristocratic families of Xuzhou and Lujiang County.

This group of young talents all started from the grassroots level and implemented a promotion system every three years.

If there are special performances, the promotion will be considered appropriate.

Zhang Sui thought about the imperial examination and military reform, but he suppressed the idea immediately.

Now Xuzhou has experienced the massacres by Cao Cao and Sun Ce, and its population has dropped sharply.

Especially in Guangling, there is no crowing of roosters for a thousand miles.

When Lu Kang was the prefect of Lujiang County, it also suffered a massacre at the hands of Sun Ce.

It can be said that the biggest problem Zhang Sui is facing at present is population.

Compared with the so-called reforms, the most important thing to do nowadays is to increase the population as much as possible without causing changes or unrest.

Once the population and strength are stabilized, we will gradually implement the imperial examination system and military reforms.
