Chapter 275: Cao Cao's Decision
At this time, when the civil and military officials heard Cao Cao's own statement, they naturally stopped saying anything.
Subsequently, the Goryeo envoy received a message from Cao Cao.
"Nishiba! What's going on! ”
The messenger was shocked to speak his native language.
He didn't expect that Cao Cao didn't give them a chance and directly let them become part of the big man?
"What should I do..."
The messenger panicked.
Subsequently, he wanted to see Cao Cao in person, but he could only eat until the door was closed.
Cao Cao's attitude was very resolute, that is, he would either submit to obedience or wait and see.
The envoys couldn't imagine what Cao Cao had gone through!
How could attitudes change so quickly!
Moreover, hasn't Dahan always been very polite? Why did you backtrack this time!
But the anger returned to the qi, and the Goryeo envoy still had no choice but to bring the qi back.
When Cao Shuo heard the news, he just smiled slightly.
He is deeply aware of the urine nature of the Goryeo clan.
Even if they surrender, they will definitely put forward a lot of conditions, and there is a high probability that they will not accept the culture of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Cao Shuo didn't want to give them this opportunity.
Before receiving the message of Goryeo's peace request, Cao Shuo had been thinking about when to go on an expedition to the north.
In addition to the Goryeo clan, there are actually many small tribes.
If Cao Shuo ignores them, after all, he will wait for the opportunity to make waves.
In history, the small tribes in the north actually caused the most rebellion, causing great harm to the border areas.
Now Cao Cao is also hoarding troops and preparing to start the northern expedition.
At this time, Liu Bei and Sun Quan were still having a headache about Cao Shuo's lowering the price of clothes, so it was naturally difficult to take care of Cao Cao.
Moreover, the industrial development of Jingzhou and the Yangtze River is still very stable, even if Cao Shuo leads troops to attack, it will take a lot of effort.
Taking 10,000 steps back, they are all people of Huaxia, and it is indeed a bit unreasonable for Cao Shuo to go to them first to find trouble.
And taking advantage of this time to consolidate the northern area is Cao Shuo's best choice.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and there has been no reply from Goryeo's side.
Cao Cao also issued a notice to the Goryeo clan again:
If you don't give any reply within a month, the Han side will definitely lead the troops directly to the battle.
This can be regarded as Cao Cao's ultimatum.
And now that winter is coming to an end, this is good news for the soldiers who will be on the northern expedition.
On this day, Cao Shuo was studying the steam engine at home, when he suddenly heard a voice from outside:
"Gongzi Cao Shuo, now the first big ship has been built in Xuzhou, please go over and accept it!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Cao Shuo was also overjoyed.
In terms of shipbuilding, Cao Shuo spent a lot of effort, and he almost gathered the shipbuilders from all over China!
Speaking of funds, Cao Shuo even took out his own private money to invest.
The business of shipbuilding is really no less than cement!
Now, it's finally time to accept the results!
Immediately, Cao Shuo immediately prepared the carriage and headed directly towards Xuzhou.
Because of the cement road, Cao Shuo's walking speed is not too slow.
And on the road at night when no one is around, Cao Shuo can directly take out his sports car and drive, which is not too cool.
A day later, Cao Shuo came to the port of Xuzhou.
And here, now, it is also a scene of gongs and drums.
Because Cao Shuo decided to build a ship in Xuzhou, it also stimulated Xuzhou's economic development.
In addition, the workers and their families lived here, which turned Xuzhou into a small city.
And Cao Shuo's current port is still very simple, and after a period of time, Cao Shuo will transport goods here, and the city will be more prosperous.
At the same time, Cao Shuo also built ports in Tianjin and Qingdao, with the aim of connecting northern China by sea.
At this time, Cao Shuo was looking at the warship in front of him.
Although the warship in front of him is not comparable to modern times, it is definitely a giant ship during the Three Kingdoms period.
The warship was about eight zhang high and thirty zhang long, and the small fishing boat was around it, as small as a worm.
"I'm going to conquer the world in the future!"
Cao Shuo was overjoyed and thought with a smile.
"Childe, we've finally made it!"
At this time, one came out of the group of craftsmen.
Cao Shuo immediately realized that this person was Sun Quan's spy at that time, and now Cao Shuo's craftsman captain Chen Li.
At this time, Chen Li also lived up to Cao Shuo's hopes and completed the task perfectly.
"Good!"
Cao Shuo patted Chen Li's shoulder with a smile and said:
"You have completed the task of shipbuilding perfectly, as a citizen of the Han Dynasty, history will remember you, and future generations will remember your credit!"
"Childe, you're so flattering to us!"
Chen Li is also very excited:
"It's already a great favor for you to have our names engraved on the ship, we are just some small craftsmen, and we didn't have the luxury of such merit before!"
"I told you a long time ago that craftsmen are the ones who can really change the world!"
Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said:
"If you really talk about craftsmen, Shennong is just a farmer, and Luban is even more of a carpenter!"
"This..."
Cao Shuo's words immediately gave these craftsmen a lot of confidence.
At this time, Cao Shuo actually compared the craftsman with Shennong Luban.
Before, they were just small craftsmen, and the craftsmen didn't usually have much confidence.
But now, in Cao Shuo's mouth, they are people who can be compared with Shennong Luban.
They are all saints of the ancients!
"I..."
Chen Li was especially moved at this time.
I really don't know how to repay the kindness of such a meeting.
Especially Chen Li, when he was in Jiangdong before, he was just a small shipbuilder, and no one cared about him in his daily life.
But here in Cao Shuo...
"What is Shennong Luban? It's just that he's a craftsman! ”
Chen Li muttered, tears inadvertently flowing from the corners of his eyes:
"Childe, please rest assured, I will definitely spare no effort in the future to contribute to your shipbuilding construction, and I will definitely dedicate all my strength!"
"It's not my business."
Cao Shuo glanced around the shipbuilders, and then said impassionedly:
"This is the path for each of you to realize your self-worth, and what you have to do is for the sake of the whole Han!"
"It's... Be! ”
Chen Li had a proud expression on his face.
They are now more than just a shipbuilder, and have become pioneers of their time.
With Cao Shuo's technology, they have now built the largest warship of this era.
And in the future, they will definitely build more ships, and they will repay Cao Shuo for his kindness.
When it comes to shipbuilding, they also pay great attention to detail and make it perfect in every position they can be.
It is also because of this attitude that they have built such a large warship in this era.
Subsequently, Chen Li took Cao Shuo onto the ship and continued to check the other conditions on the ship.
