The place where the dynasty fixed the capital, there must be a big river in front of it, there is a high mountain to rely on, Xuchang is the same, thirty miles north of the city, is the famous shooting deer mountain, the east and west stretch for more than 100 miles, the mountain is steep, the grass and trees are abundant, it is a natural military barrier, in addition, in the lofty mountains, there is also the largest industrial area in this era...... Shang Fang!

Shangfang, also known as 'Baigong Shangfang', concentrates the world's skilled craftsmen, specializing in creating various instruments for the country, led by one of the Shaofu, one of the nine Qings, plays an important role, and is directly responsible to the emperor of the Han Dynasty!

When the coalition army entered Luoyang, the princes were busy snatching gold and silver treasures, beautiful women and jade silks, Xiao Yi had a unique vision, and took the first step to occupy Shangfang outside the city, bringing thousands of craftsmen into his hands, and later brought them to the Cao army camp!

Fighting for hegemony in the world, in addition to the soldiers and generals, the lord is loyal, but also needs a strong bow and arrows, sharp knives and guns, Cao Cao attaches great importance to the construction of Shangfang, never spares the supply of money and grain, and also gives the craftsmen a very high treatment, under the direct jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Government, and placed in the shooting deer mountain, send heavy troops to protect, one is the terrain is dangerous, the safety is more secure, the other is rich in vegetation, do not worry about fuel shortage!

In addition to thousands of craftsmen and their families, there are also 5,000 elite soldiers stationed in Shangfang, responsible for guarding security, and built a strong castle, high walls and barriers, isolated from the inside and outside, without the warrant of the prime minister, no one is allowed to enter and leave without permission, violators, beheaded!

"Dada! ~~ Click! ”

The sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded, and a team of riders appeared on the mountain road, about hundreds of people, most of them were elite soldiers in armor, holding sharp weapons in their hands, and a person was protected in the middle position, short in stature, and his appearance was not good, but his eyes were like torches, and his momentum was steady like a mountain.

There were also several people around, also dressed in regular clothes, or bohemian, or angry, or kind-mannered...... they checked the terrain, pointed out the dangers, sometimes let out hearty laughter, sometimes verbal and arguing!

The person who came was Prime Minister Cao Cao and a group of important ministers under his command, it was a fool to talk about the army on paper, if you want to govern the country, you must do it yourself, they discussed the strategy in the prime minister's house, and went straight to the mountains, ready to inspect Shangfang, and further implement the plan!

"Whoosh! ~~Syllable! …… Shangfang is important, and those who come stop! ”

An arrow flew in with a loud sound, nailed to the mountain road as a warning, and at the same time, dozens of soldiers on the castle bent their bows and arrows, and aimed at the intruder, and if the other party dared to take a step forward, they would immediately shoot the arrows indiscriminately!

"The Prime Minister came to inspect Shangfang, open the door quickly!" Xu Chu, the commander of the pro-soldiers, took out a token from his arms, held it high, and shook it again, only then did he step forward and urge the other party to open the door!

"The prime minister strictly ordered that Shangfang is heavy, and no one is allowed to gallop, and people come to dismount!" Knowing that the prime minister was coming, the guards were very surprised, but they did not panic, first hung down a basket, carefully checked the token, and then put away the bow and arrows, and at the same time sent someone to tell the chief general, the gate still did not open!

"The decree set by the old man should set an example for the world!" When the team was blocked, Cao Cao did not get angry, but took the initiative to jump off the horse, looked at the guards with praise, thinking that they were very dutiful, and everyone also dismounted one after another, standing on both sides in turn!

After a while, the city gate opened, and out of a group of heavily armed soldiers, the first one, eight feet tall, emaciated, sallow, two eyes with more white benevolence, few black pupils, at first glance is a cold, rigid person, it is the commander of the Shangfang Protector - Wu Xuan, the word Yugui!

"The last general will meet the Prime Minister!" Coming to the front, Wu Xuan clasped his fists with both hands and greeted him with a military salute, he was born as a guard in the Prime Minister's Mansion, because of his serious work and cautious work, he was relied on by Cao Cao, and he was promoted and reused unusually, and became the commander of Shangfang's guards!

"All year round, the sword is with you, the armor does not take off, General Yugui has worked hard!" Cao Cao patted Wu Xuan's shoulder, praised him with kind words, and then stepped into Shangfang surrounded by everyone!

"Governor Xiao, Mr. Fengxiao, Mr. Zhongde, Mr. Wenruo...... as well as Yuan Rang and Miaocai, my God!" Looking at the crowd rushing in, Wu Xuan stuck out his little tongue in surprise, he had served in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he knew these important ministers of the imperial court, but it was rare to see any of them, but today they all came, could it be that there was no big move?

"Within Liuhe, the land of the emperor, east to the sea, west wading quicksand, south and north households, north through the Great Xia, wherever the people go, do not surrender, Qin De Zhaozhao, Qin Wei Lielie, Kindness, Ze and cattle and horses............"

As soon as I entered Shangfang, a low 'Qin ballad' came into everyone's ears, the song was not loud, but it was full of vicissitudes, as if the long river of history had stopped here, and it was hundreds of years since it stopped!

Han Shangfang, Qin rumors sang, this is not surprising, the end of the Qin chaos, the princes rose up, after the coalition army conquered Xianyang, the generals were busy competing for gold and silver treasures, Liu Bang's first strategist Xiao He, but received the Qin Prime Minister, the imperial history of the collection of the law, books, mastered the country's mountains and rivers, county and county households, and at the same time occupied Qin's Shangfang, a large number of outstanding craftsmen in their hands, and later Chu and Han contended, Liu Bang was able to win the final victory, and the rear of the endless grain and grass, equipment support is inseparable!

Four hundred years have passed, the rise and fall of the two Han Dynasty, how many emperors have turned into dust, but Shangfang has always existed, the craftsmen inside the father and son passed down, endlessly, in addition to the spirit of hardship and hard work, unparalleled craftsmanship, there is a song of hundreds of Qin songs, it can be said that this is the song of the laborers, but also their hearts!

The arrival of Cao Cao and others did not cause a sensation, one is that they are all wearing regular clothes, and they look no different from ordinary people, and the other is that the craftsmen in Shangfang are busy working, concentrating, and going all out, no one has the leisure to look around, and these important ministers of the court are ignored!

As far as the eye can see, there are busy craftsmen everywhere, cold winter etiquette, many people are also shirtless, while singing Qin ballads, sweating like rain, some people are melting ore, some people are drawing out molten iron, and some people are forging iron embryos vigorously, and finally forming, polishing, combining, and inspecting......

The whole Shangfang, like a precision large-scale instrument, thousands of craftsmen are small parts, clear division of labor, close cooperation, swallowing ore, wood, running water, spit out a piece of extremely sharp blades, equipment ......, in the face of such a spectacular labor scene, can not help but make people's blood boil, sigh!

The general has succeeded in a hundred battles, and the strong man has fought a decisive battle on the battlefield, who would have thought that behind the conquest of the army, how many ordinary craftsmen, day and night, worked tirelessly, but were obscure, exhausted and sick, and finally eliminated like aging parts?

No one will remember, only the emperors and generals left in the history books, great achievements, there were Qin Emperor Han Wu, Wei Qing, Huo Quai, ...... in the future, there will be Cao Cao, Xiao Yi, Guo Jia, Xun Yu ......, but there will never be the names of these craftsmen, but it is undeniable that it is these ordinary people who support the great emperor and continue the civilization of the Chinese family, their names are not known, and their achievements will last forever!

"In addition, the old craftsmen who have reached the age of 60 will be given the title of 'elder', and they will be given money and food every month, and they will be supported by the state for life, and the children and grandchildren will also be raised by the state!"

Cao Cao knew very well that Shangfang had its own system, and in order to keep it secret, it was almost isolated from the world, and it was useless to give them money, it was better to reward wine and meat more affordably, and besides, the craftsmen had served the country all their lives, and they fell into a disease, and they should be supported by the state in their old age!

"The Prime Minister's grace is high and the earth is high, and the last general will bow to thousands of craftsmen in Shangfang!" The military salute stipulates that the armored soldiers do not worship, and after listening to Jun's decree, Wu Xuan still lifted his armor and bowed respectfully!

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

Wu Xuan's bow attracted the attention of the craftsmen, and then the news of Jun Zhi came out, and the entire Shangfang suddenly boiled, and the craftsmen who were busy immediately stopped their work and knelt on the ground, making a tsunami-like cheer!

Many old craftsmen were moved to tears, the sky has eyes, hundreds of years, the emperor will always be high, never paid attention to these ant-like craftsmen, birth, old age, sickness and death, resigned to fate, many dying old craftsmen, will even be thrown into the mountains, feed the beasts, even the bones can not be left, now there is the state to support, can spend a peaceful old age, who is not hot in the heart?

"The prime minister employs people on the basis of meritocracy, does not pay false names, cares about suffering, treats the deployment well, and the hearts of the people in the world are attached, just like the rivers returning to the sea, he is really born to be the master of the world, and he is a hero of the world!"

Looking at Cao Cao, who waved his palms and scolded the Quartet, several strategists behind him all secretly praised that it is not difficult to have such a mind, talent, and courage to calm the world!

"Merry Christmas, dear readers, well, will the Baron be lazy for another day?"
