"Ahem, Bo Kang is really joking, how can you and I fight, Hugh has to mention such hurtful and angry words." Cao Cao hurriedly filled Xu Ding's wine glass.

Xu Dingdao: "Meng De is really the same as the previous Meng De, I know that Meng De is worthy of being relied upon, so Meng De and my navy enter Dong County, and we will fight Dong Zhuo together?" ”

"No problem, your navy can borrow Daodong County, and I will be an official of Dongjun in my ward." Cao Cao took a bite to it, but quickly reacted back:

"No, that Bokang, you just said that we would fight Dong Zhuo together?"

Didn't Xu Ding go to Hanoi and get rid of the Montenegrin army?

Why did it get to Dong Zhuo again.

Xu Ding said solemnly: "Yes, Mengde, didn't we discuss it yesterday?" Let's fight Dong Zhuo together, in addition to Dong Zhuo, Guanzhong and Luoyang belong to you, and the prisoners of the Xiliang Army are all yours, and the Son of Heaven and I will go to Weiyuan Island to settle temporarily. ”

"That's really how we decide?" Cao Cao was a little confused, this thing seems to be, and it doesn't seem to be, could it really be broken yesterday.

Why does it feel wrong, although he doesn't suffer a loss from this plan, he really doesn't want to crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Xu Dingdao: "Of course, you said it yourself, and there can be a fake, you also said that in the future, I will manage the east and expand to the north, and you will manage the west and expand to the south, and the two of us will cooperate for a win-win situation, and strive to create a peaceful and prosperous world, and kill a bright future." ”

I really said it so impassionedly, Cao Cao was a little confused.

The generals below looked at Cao Cao with admiration one by one, the lord was amazing, it was not easy to make such a bold statement, and to discuss such a generous condition with Weihai Hou.

Civil officials Chen Gong and Cheng Shu were thoughtful, feeling that what Xu Ding said to Cao Cao yesterday didn't seem to be the case.

Liu Ye and Chen Deng glanced at each other below, and they both saw the fear and vigilance in each other's eyes.

Xu Ding this guy will definitely not be so good, there is something greasy in this.

"Haha...... Ha ha...... Bo Kang may have drunk too much of the two of us yesterday, and I don't remember a lot of things, with our current strength, I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult to succeed in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, so it is better to accumulate some strength to talk. Cao Cao smiled perfunctorily.

Xu Ding said with a serious face: "Meng De's words are wrong, the words spoken by the manly husband are spittle nails, even if there is a cliff in front of him, he has to jump, even if it is a sea of fire, besides, my waterway army has come to Yanzhou, you just let me go back, wouldn't the princes of the world laugh at me, Dong Zhuo won't scold me for being no one in Kanto, all rats, wouldn't it tarnish your high name!" ”

"Bo Kang, Bo Kang, I really can't say you, okay, you have the final say, you say that you will crusade against Dong Zhuo, we will go to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but at the moment I have no food and grass, and I have no cavalry. Hey..."Cao Cao didn't believe that Xu Dingzhen was going to crusade against Dong Zhuo, so while agreeing, he touched the wine glass and began to raise conditions.

I don't have money, I don't have food, I don't have horses, so you can support me.

"Well said! It's good to say, what Meng De lacks, go to my Qingzhou and Pingzhou to pull. Xu Ding responded to himself in one hundred mouths, but his face was also a little gloomy and said:

"However, the landlord's family has no surplus grain, there are too many displaced people there, and the grain has been eaten, and some books have been sold for the sake of the people of the world to study." Xu Ding touched it, thought about it, and said:

"Mengde, otherwise, I think it's better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, how about I help you open up business routes, develop Yanzhou, and make yourself stronger?"

"Oh! How can we expand the trade routes in Yanzhou? How do I make Yanzhou stronger? Cao Cao suddenly became interested, revitalized business, and developed the economy, and there was no doubt that Xu Ding was the most successful.

Rather than fighting for turf, he is now calling for ways to increase fiscal revenue.

So not only him, but also the civil and military forces below also stretched their necks, waiting for Xu Ding to teach them how to do a good job in Yanzhou's economy.

Xu Ding said with a smile: "Meng Deke has never heard a word, if you want to get rich, build roads, build bridges and plant trees, have more children and raise more pigs!" ”

"Uh...... Isn't this your slogan in Donglai before? "Cao Cao didn't know anything, and he was always trying to learn from Xu Ding, so he paid special attention to the affairs of Donglai in Qingzhou.

Naturally, this development program and slogan are often heard.

In particular, he thinks deeply that building roads and having more children are the two points that he deeply believes.

So he asked: "Bokang, I have always instructed my subordinates to organize the people to cultivate, and I am also encouraging more children, can you explain it in more detail." ”

Xu Dingdao: "Mengde's matter is very simple, do you know that under my rule, a bridge and paving engineering team has been set up, of course, this team is not to fight, nor to serve the army, but for the people to serve the local government, they only do two things, repair roads and pave bridges."

Now I have found an ore there, which is in the form of powder, and when it is mixed with water and sand and fills, it can become hard as a rock, and I call it cement.

My Pingzhou and Qingzhou are using it to pave roads and build bridges on a large scale, the road is wide and strong, people walk on it cleanly, horses run on it conveniently, whether it is day or night, or rainy and sunny can pass from above, without being affected. ”

Cao Cao and the rest of the civil and military were envious when they heard it.

There are such strange things in the world, which can become as hard as a stone when it is mixed with water and sand and solidified.

Paving on the ground is not like paving a smooth stone pavement.

In this way, it is indeed possible to pass on rainy days, not afraid of being delayed, and it is a good object.

"So Mengde, with this thing to pave the road, the road is good, those business travelers are convenient, nature is endless, there is an endless stream of trade under my rule, there is a road, there is a business, there is a business, there is a business, you can prosper, you said that if I also order the engineering team to take the cement road from Qingzhou to Juancheng, you are not another Donglai here." Xu Ding said with a smile.

Cao Cao slapped his thigh and said, "Okay! Bokang is really happy, so thanked. ”

After saying that, Cao Cao raised his glass and drank, and Xu Ding helped him take the cement road for free, which was good.

"By the way, Meng De, I still have something to cooperate with you, my subordinates have discovered the wonderful use of coal, this thing can be ......" Soon Xu Ding told Cao Cao about the wonderful use of coal, and continued to advocate the advantages of coal furnaces, looking for business opportunities for coal use in the next autumn and winter.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up again, because Xu Ding told him how to use coal to absorb the money from the pockets of the family.

The conversation was very pleasant, the two of them didn't drink too much today, and soon Xu Ding left, Cao Cao ordered people to withdraw to eat, drink and meat, leaving a few henchmen and ministers.

"You've heard what Berkang said, now let's talk about it, what do you think?"

Chen Gong said: "My lord, the Marquis of Weihai is a benevolent and righteous move, I think it is feasible." ”

"My lord, Weihai promised to build roads for our Yanzhou, I'm afraid it is not good-intentioned, the road is good, the road is open, and the business road will naturally become prosperous, which is true.

It's just that this road is straight and wide, and it is also conducive to the passage of grain, grass and soldiers and horses, in case of a war between us and Weihai Marquis one day, his cavalry will not be able to pass through the cement road and quickly advance to Juancheng. Chen Deng stood up and reminded.

Liu Ye also said: "Lord, what Yuan Long said is good, since Weihai Hou is so generous, why not ask him to transport the cement directly, and we will use it to repair the city." ”

Cement is such a good thing, paving the road is really a waste, it is a sharp weapon to repair the city wall.

I have to say that Liu Ye's vision is slow and accurate.
