"This ......"

Cao Cao touched his beard and felt that what Cao Shuo said was indeed very reasonable.

The reason why Cao Cao kept the high-ranking cadres and did not kill them was because he felt that this kid was a talent, after all, he was very good at strategy, and he could also lead troops to fight, which was a rare double-faced talent.

In history, Gao Gan was also a very talented and capable person, but in the end he died under the siege of Cao Cao.

In the evaluation of later historians, Gao Gan's strategy far surpassed all of Yuan Shao's sons, and even surpassed Yuan Shao himself.

But...... Now because of the arrival of Cao Shuo, the pattern of the Three Kingdoms has changed invisibly.

"Hmmm......"

Cao Cao nodded, indicating that he had taken it to heart.

But...... It is also a very troublesome thing to deal with high-level cadres.

Now that Gao Gan has surrendered to Cao Cao, if Cao Cao kills Gao Gan in the past, he will suffer the infamy of the world.

Moreover, now there are still some troops in the hands of senior cadres, and if they lead troops to find trouble again, it will definitely cause a storm and be an unnecessary trouble.

Now, Gao Gan is in Bingzhou, leaving this kid alone, so Cao Cao's heart is also more responsive.

"Cao Shuo!"

Cao Cao thought for a while, and said solemnly to Cao Shuo: "You prepare now, go and build the road from Xuchang to Bingzhou, be fast!" ”

With this move, Cao Cao not only protected himself, but also stifled Gao Gan's idea of rebellion.

and then called the emperor in the future...... That Gao Gan naturally killed if he wanted to, and it was useless to keep it.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Cao Shuo said immediately and left the mansion in a jump.

"Now, it's really going to take off!"

At this time, Cao Shuo had actually laughed out loud in his heart.

Where is the state? Mountain Creek! That's where there are coal mines!

Now that Cao Cao agrees, it is naturally very easy to build a road, at least there will be no more worries about money.

In addition, Cao Shuo was able to go to Bingzhou to dig coal, which naturally improved the efficiency of the factory and a steady stream of materials.

This wave is really killing two birds with one stone!

"Alas......"

After Cao Cao finished the meeting, he sat on a chair and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"This time, it's Cao Shuo who took the blame for me!"

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but shed tears.

In fact, Cao Cao, as the king of a country, naturally understands the usefulness of building roads.

However, he could not issue the order in person, because it was a troubled time for the Three Kingdoms.

For example, Qin Shi Huang, a big reason why he was scolded by later generations for harsh government was because he built the equator.

But in the big picture, there is no benefit to this equator?

The benefits are too great, but the disadvantage is that it costs too much money and oppresses the people.

It was also because the people couldn't stand it that Qin Shi Huang's harsh government finally chose to rise up and overthrow Great Qin.

The highway is similar to the equator, just a simple stone road, and the cost is like burning money, not to mention the smooth road surface made of special materials.

And the construction of roads, for the country, is not beneficial at all, can only suck blood from the people.

However, Cao Shuo opened up a new path: collect money from outsiders and collect money on the road to return blood.

Using the road to make money can also be regarded as groundbreaking, there is no one before and no one after him, Cao Cao actually wanted to applaud when he heard it.

But immediately, Cao Cao reacted, he had to stand on the opposite side of Cao Shuo in this matter, and he couldn't even show it to the strategists and generals.

Therefore, Cao Cao chased after Cao Shuo angrily, scolded in front of many strategists and generals, and wanted to spread this matter as soon as possible, so that everyone knew that this matter was done by Cao Shuo.

And everyone will also believe that Cao Cao must have strongly objected, but this rebel actually stole money from the treasury!

What should I do? All Xuchang knows that Cao Cao can't control Cao Shuo!

What should I do if I take the money hard?

If Cao Cao built a road...... Then it's more fun.

There is a saying that the Son of Heaven cannot compete with the people for profit.

Cao Cao is still only a prime minister, saying that he has to pay for walking, not to mention what the people think in their hearts, just talking about the historian, he can really write about Cao Cao's legacy for 10,000 years.

Therefore, this matter must be done in the name of Cao Shuo, so that he can carry this black cauldron.

After all...... Whether it is inside or outside the Cao family or ordinary people, seeing Cao Shuo collecting tolls is such a thing...... I didn't think it was a surprise at all.

Cao Shuo is a rebel who is known to famous women and children!

In this way, Cao Cao's reputation has been preserved, and in addition, the cost of building highways can gradually pay off.

"Cao Shuo, you are really my unicorn......"

Cao Cao sighed and said, tears couldn't help but flow out: "But in this way, you really can't inherit my share of this career." ”

Thinking of this, Cao Cao wiped away his tears, got up and returned to the house.

On the second day, Cao Shuo put the story of Cao Cao chasing him on the main road in a magazine.

As for the matter of road tolls, the people are almost all against it.

After all...... This is an open deprivation of the interests of the population.

Cao Cao immediately started a conference, and the main content still revolved around this sentence: "The rebel son is untaught, rampant and domineering, uncontrollable, and ashamed." ”

When the people saw Cao Cao say this, they naturally felt that Cao Shuo was an invincible bastard, so they instantly turned the spearhead and stood under the bulletin board and sprayed randomly.

But...... Cao Shuo didn't pay much attention to what these people said.

After all, a lot of things are decided by the butt in the head.

For example, the current highway incident, it will take a while for the people to realize how good this thing is.

A steamed bun is only a lot of money, but walking on the road can be very comfortable to reach Luoyang!

Over time, some people have tried to experience the highway.

"It feels...... It's like flying through the clouds! ”

People who have experienced it have said that this road is really amazing.

Subsequently, this news also spread to hundreds, and gradually swept Xuchang City.

The carriage is like a walking chrysanthemum on other roads.

But on the road, it's really comfortable, and you can even sleep leisurely.

Not to mention the merchants, the time saved in the carriage is almost enough to run the goods again.

As for the tolls, they are negligible.

There are relatively few opportunities for ordinary people to go out, but as long as they try it once, Cao Shuo's highway will immediately be attracted by this divine thing.

Everyone felt that the road was too comfortable, so they didn't pursue the toll of the steamed bun money, and the matter gradually subsided.
