Cao Cao didn't know what it meant to be polite, so he walked directly into Yuan Shu's carriage.

He just saw the extraordinaryness of this carriage outside. Not to mention anything else, it was the first time he saw the giant carriage that required ten horses to pull.

But the luxurious decorations inside the carriage were still surprised by him.

This is not a carriage, it is obviously a moving courtyard!

Inside the car, this can no longer be called in the car. All the furnishings in the room are the best.

And after entering inside, I couldn't feel the bumps outside. I don't know what Yuan Shu did to the carriage to do this.

Looking around, Yuan Shu, Zou Rong and Diao Chan were sitting by the window, surrounding a steaming iron pot and snatching something from it.

The strange fragrance that Cao Cao just smelled came out of the iron pot.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Cao Cao thought that Yuan Shu was very good at enjoying it.

If you have such a fragrance, I believe the thing in the pot must be an amazing delicacy.

Moreover, there are two beautiful women around this guy, one big and one small, who are accompanying him, which is simply outrageous.

Yuan Shu is so good at enjoying this. No, I have to find some discomfort for him.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao walked to the iron pot with a stern face, sat on the ground, and spoke to Yuan Shu:

"Brother Gaolu, do you know that you have violated the Han Dynasty's law without being inspected by the garrison when you came back this time."

Yuan Shu knew Cao Cao very well. As soon as he spoke, Yuan Shu knew what this guy wanted to do.

Don’t look at his stern face, he seems to be selfless, but it is actually just to come here to make things difficult for him.

Yuan Shu laughed and scolded:

"You are the uncle Cao Cao, I feel uncomfortable when I first met.

We were walking well, and we were eating hot pot and singing.

Is it good that your person is blocking the way in front?

This time, Lord Cao became a high-ranking official in Luoyang, and his temper also increased.

Do you want to eat hot pot?

If you want to eat, sit down and eat. If you don’t want to eat, get out of here!”

After Cao Cao sat close, he smelled how fragrant the stuff in the iron pot was, and he had long wanted to taste it.

I heard from Yuan Shu that this thing is called hot pot.

Well, the steaming pot looks like a ball of fire, which is really appropriate.

Cao Cao smiled at Zou Rong and said:

"I have to ask my sister-in-law to find a pair of dishes and chopsticks for you."

Then he looked at Diao Chan, who was so beautiful that he was in a state of beauty, and said in confusion:

"Brother Highway, who is this girl?"

Yuan Shu gave Cao Cao a blank look and said:

"This is my cousin Diao Chan. How long have you been away? You won't know each other?"

Cao Cao suddenly realized:

"It turned out to be Miss Diao Chan. Three years ago, she looked like a child. Unexpectedly, the girl changed so much and now she is so beautiful and dignified.

Come here quickly and let uncle take a good look.”

Diao Chan looked at Cao Cao's expression at this time and seemed to be a little vulgar, so she was reluctant to go, but instead leaned towards Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu directly patted Cao Cao on the head:

"You guy, not only teased your cousin, but also took advantage of me. It's time to beat me!"

Cao Cao laughed:

"I haven't seen you for a long time, just a little joke."

At this time, Zou Rong also took the bowls and chopsticks over and handed them to Cao Cao and said:

“Be careful of spicy.”

"Thank you, my sister-in-law." Cao Cao was anxious to eat hot pot and didn't care much about Zou Rong's reminder.

As a result, he couldn't stand it if he had a bite of meat.

As a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when did Cao Cao eat chili?

These pot bottoms and dipping sauces are made by Yuan Shu’s recipes exchanged from the system, and others cannot eat them at all.

The first bite of meat made Cao Cao so spicy:

"Highway, what is this? Why is it so spicy? Give me water!"

Cao Cao's embarrassing look made Zou Rong and Diao Chan giggle, and Yuan Shu opened a bottle of iced Coke and handed it to him:

"Give it, drink this."

At this time, Cao Cao didn't care what was in his hand and opened his mouth and poured it in.

Suddenly, a cool and refreshing mouth that had never been seen before began to impact his taste buds. Cao Cao drank all the coke in his hand in one breath, but he still felt a little unfulfilled.

"Highway, what kind of wine is this? How come it is so cool and refreshing?"

After drinking Coke, Cao Cao felt very happy, and the piece of meat he just ate now seems to be less spicy when he thinks about it.

He tried to grab another piece of meat to eat.

hiss!

Several flavors of numb, spicy and fragrant are impacting his taste together, so delicious!

This guy just started to eat too much without being so generous.

While eating, he asked Yuan Shu for Coke.

"Brother Gaolu, aren't you the prefect in Nanyang? You have also returned to Luoyang to work?"

About half an hour later, Cao Cao, who had eaten and drunk enough, began to care about Yuan Shu's personal problems.

Yuan Shu put down the ice cola in his hand and said:

"Isn't the New Year approaching? When you come back to spend the New Year with your parents, you think it's yours, Cao Mengde, whoever you think is, you, and you don't come back after three years of work."

Cao Cao walked forward and explained:

"Hehe, I'm far from Luoyang.

It’s too inconvenient to go back to Luoyang in Dunqiu. How can you get from Brother Highway?

But now Cao is so happy that he has been in trouble. My father has got me a cavalry captain. We are now a serious general of the Han Dynasty. Do you envy Brother Gaolu?”

Yuan Shu glanced at Cao Cao disdainfully and said:

"If I want to work in Luoyang, I don't have to go out from the beginning. How can I work in the local area if I am restrained by the emperor?

Even if you become a cavalry captain, you are not as high as your prefect.

Now Nanyang is my master’s base camp. I am talking about it. Can you tell me the same thing in the Luoyang military camp?"

When Cao Cao heard this, he felt that Yuan Shu was saying something, and said with some insight:

"Brother Benchu ​​is right. It seems that I have to work in the local area after the New Year."

Yuan Shu attacked Cao Cao:

"You are the one who owns the court. You can become an official wherever you want to be an official?"

Cao Cao smiled mysteriously at Yuan Shu and said:

"Brother Highway, you don't know anything.

Now our emperor has set up a market in West Garden (Note 1), which is specially used to buy and sell officials.

An official who earns 2,000 stones of food is 20 million yuan, and an official who earns 1,000 stones of food is 10 million yuan.

Although I am not as rich as Brother Highway, it is not a problem to buy a place that is lacking.”

After Cao Cao's reminder, Yuan Shu remembered that since the first year of Guanghe, Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, had transferred the great cause of selling official positions and titles from underground to ground, and openly marked the price.

There are also official trading venues, as long as you can afford money, the Han officials can choose from, which is really humane.

It seems that I need to buy a bigger official, so that I can have more territory.

Moreover, the powerful generals and counselors under his command are basically appointed by his prefect's office. Although they are also officials of the Han Dynasty, they are still not as legitimate as the official seal given by Liu Hong.

It is better to have fun alone than to have fun. This time I returned to Luoyang and bought the official position. Anyway, I am not short of money.

[Author’s Off-topic]: Note 1: In the first year of Guanghe, Emperor Ling of Han carried forward the cause of selling official positions and titles.

In the first year of Guanghe, Emperor Ling opened a residence in Xiyuan to sell official positions, and the price depends on the size of the official position.

Twenty stone official money is 20 million, and four hundred stone official money is 4 million.

He also ordered the people and officials to sell them to the public, ministers and officials, and the officials were 10 million, and the officials were 5 million.
