Chapter 39: A Day in the Life of Cao Ang (I)
Cao Ang liked his mansion in Xincheng, which was located in the corner of the city wall, surrounded by family quarters and high-end residential areas. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Thinking of this, Cao Ang smiled, he had heard Yuan Yun say a lot of rebellious things, and one of the most exaggerated was that everyone in the world was equal.
It's just a joke, how can people be equal? The people must be divided into good citizens and untouchables, not to mention the aristocratic rank.
And Yuan Yun, who said that he wanted the world to be equal, decided to make the residential area four or five grades of high and low, isn't this smacking his mouth?
But this bastard has always been inexplicable, and when he got him from his master, this guy rarely has a normal time.
Now he is also a dignified prince, but he still can't get rid of some low-level interests, such as making money, and he is not tired of it, and he even pulled Xu Yi's three gentlemen into the water.
Now there are a few of them taking the lead, and there are more and more children of the family who want to do business, and those who originally ridiculed Xu Yi said: Lao Tzu spends all the money he earns, and he who has no ability to ram the goods only asks himself for money every day!
Just this sentence, Xu Du's gentlemen whose hearts are higher than the sky are on fire, so everyone is ashamed of using the family's money, even if they continue secretly, they have to pretend in front of others.
Lao Tzu has a shop in the east of the city, and Lao Tzu personally takes care of it to earn Lao Tzu's daily expenses.
Lao Tzu used to buy a house in the east of the city with his cousin, but now it has risen sharply, and this is how Lao Tzu's money came from.
In fact, everyone knows that the person who opened the shop, the shop he ran was all bought by his Lao Tzu, and the one who sold the house in Dongcheng was actually his Lao Tzu who bought the house and raised his concubine.
But no one cares about this, everyone has the same mentality, that is, self-reliance, whoever takes the family's money is a bastard.
Now Xu Yi's three gentlemen have become the role models and idols of Xu Du's younger generation, and those gentlemen are proud to know the three of them, if they are lucky enough to be invited to the banquet, it will definitely blow for a month.
Everyone will say: Lao Tzu was going to go to Zhang Luoxia the family business the day before yesterday, those shopkeepers in the family were too bad, not to come in person, but guess what, Xiahou Mao Gongzi actually invited my brother Yueyunlou to the banquet, you say how contradictory this is, while the business matters, while brotherhood, but I am embarrassed by my brother, and finally think about the importance of brothers, brother I reluctantly went, don't say, Yueyunlou's brother has gone a lot, but it is not as magnificent as Xiahou Mao's son, and the vegetables and fruits on the table have never heard of it, Those Yunji spirits are also let go of drinking, and they are full!
As soon as this kind of blows out, it will inevitably attract the envy of countless people, and all kinds of people who ask for a partner, even if they pay money, want to see it.
Therefore, the current identities of Xu Yi and the three of them are simply like the sky.
Thinking of the three gentlemen, Cao Ang smiled again, among which Xiahou Mao's admiration for Yuan Yun was the most profound, but he didn't want to admit it.
Intentionally or unintentionally, he is always imitating Yuan Yun, such as wearing an elegant green robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, and even some strange words that Yuan Yun occasionally pops up, he will also bring when he speaks on weekdays.
When frightened, he will shout, "Oh Maga!
When he sees a powerful person, he will say: This thing is very dick!
Now even women are learning from Yuan Yun, and they are going to get a Qinglou Oiran to go back, but they don't see that the two Qinglou leaders of Xu Du have gone to Yuan's Mansion, so he has his eyes on the rain butterfly of Yueyun Building.
Recently, he has been going to Yueyun Tower a lot, and every time he spends a lot of money, he just hopes to make the beauty smile.
A few days ago, he did Dongyue Cloud Building, Qu is good wine, good people, everything is perfect, so the three gentlemen and Cao Ang are a little drunk.
But good things will always come with some bad luck, they are like twin sisters, you won't always be unlucky, but you won't always be lucky.
Cao Ren came that night, and asked Yudie by name to accompany him, which was a very rude request, after all, Cao Ang and they arrived first, but Cao Ren relied on his seniority to take people away from Cao Ang and others' wings.
Cao Ang was such a gentle and elegant person, and he couldn't help but feel a little resentful, but he was helpless, after all, Cao Ren was indeed his uncle.
The most uncomfortable thing is Xiahou Mao, the woman he wants to pursue was robbed, or in person, which is simply a great shame.
Xu Yi and Dian Man grabbed the angry Xiahou Mao on the spot, and Cao Ang also lost interest, so the group broke up unhappily.
Xiahou Mao's whole person has changed after he went back this time, he changed his previous laziness, and dragged Xu Yi to Beihai early, everyone knows what he wants to do, that is, to establish a feed farm earlier, he can get the breeding farm up earlier, and he wants to completely destroy the meat sales of Cao Ren's family.
Cao Ang smiled bitterly and stopped his reverie, now many things are in a hurry to deal with, and what worries him the most is the test flight of those gliding eagles.
This matter has already caused a stir in Xincheng, and Cao Cao even directly ordered Cao Ang to fly well in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military at the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens after the autumn harvest.
Cao Ang understands his father's intentions very well, because there have been a lot of rumors in Xu Du recently, saying that his father coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, which was a great disapproval and would be punished by heaven!
However, this year's autumn harvest in Xudu was due to a sudden drought at the end of summer, which caused the grain harvest to fail, which gave this rumor room to sprout, and even the people began to say so.
Therefore, when his father Cao Cao was preparing to sacrifice to the sky, he made the gliding eagle fly in front of everyone, and set this as auspicious, so as to stop everyone's mouths.
If Yuan Yun heard this, he would definitely be very puzzled, isn't it just a flight, how can he fool everyone?
But people in this era are like this, as long as they see something that they can't understand, they will start to put it on God, and then after all kinds of sexual immorality, they can come up with a reasonable truth by sacrificing to heaven.
Everyone can fly, it's not that God agreed, so humans were allowed to occupy the sky for a while, and it can be concluded that God did not abandon Xu Du.
This is simply something that can't be beaten with eight poles, but Cao Cao's staff members just broke this truth together, and there are definitely a lot of people who believe it.
Rumble!
Cao Ang was awakened by a loud noise, and couldn't help but show a wry smile, and then muttered: "It seems that the fifth cannon has also exploded." ”
At this time, Dianman suddenly rushed in, and then laughed: "It's done, it's done, it's done!" ”
Cao Ang was startled, put down the paperwork in his hand and said eagerly: "The artillery succeeded?" Wasn't that a bomb just now? ”
Dian Man was stunned, and immediately shook his head and said: "It's not that the artillery is finished, the sound just now is estimated to be still a bombing, what I said is successful, it is Pu Yuan according to Yuan Hou's idea, and finally got the steel filling out, and the speed of producing special steel will be greatly increased in the future, which is a great joy." ”
Cao Ang was still a little depressed in front of him, and when he heard that the steel filling was successful, he immediately laughed excitedly.
"Let's go to Pu Yuan's workshop!" Cao Ang shouted and rushed out, forgetting to wear his outer robe.
Pu Yuan was very proud, sat on the edge of the furnace and began to pour wine, although this is expressly forbidden, but no one will blame him, because the new steel filling method has once again improved the quality of steel to a higher level, and those special steel materials that were extremely difficult to obtain before can finally be stably produced.
When Pu Yuan saw Cao Ang coming in, he was immediately startled, and quickly stuffed the wine gourd into his arms, and then greeted him.
Under Pu Yuan's introduction, Cao Ang has been playing with the new steel material in his hand, and he only feels that he has touched the best treasure in the world, and he is unwilling to put it down.
"Shizi, this new steel material is the best product in terms of flexibility and hardness, in the past, refining 10,000 catties of steel can only be obtained by chance, but now it is different, as long as you add an extra cost of pig iron, you can stabilize the output."
After Pu Yuan finished speaking, his face was full of smiles, and no one knew better than him what this meant.
Cao Ang also smiled, and then said: "It seems that our steelmaking workshop is about to expand, and the new city can no longer accommodate such a scale." ”
Pu Yuan was stunned and wondered: "Is the new city going to expand again?" ”
Cao Ang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Most of the land around the new city is owned by the nobles of Xu Capital, and if you want to get it from them, the cost is probably higher than the sky." ”
After speaking, seeing that Pu Yuan was still full of confusion, Cao Angcai patiently explained: "We are going to open a second new city, which is in Xuzhou, which will be a complete steel city, specializing in the production of steel, and we will only do research on new technologies after we have a new city, and will no longer produce steel in substance." ”
Pu Yuan shuddered and said, "Is it really a new city that completely belongs to blacksmiths?" ”
Cao Ang smiled and said, "That's right, Yuan Hou even thought of a name, it's called Shougang City." ”
After speaking, Cao Ang himself was puzzled, and muttered to himself: "Why is it called Shougang, and I don't know what kind of allusion it is?" When Brother Yun comes back, I have to ask clearly. ”
Pu Yuan was excited for a while, and the wine calmed down, but it turned into a worried face.
Seeing Pu Yuan like this, Cao Ang immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Pu Yuan, don't worry, although this Shougang City is the most suitable for you to preside, but you don't need to go in person, your most powerful ability is to develop more efficient and fast steelmaking methods, as for the place where steel is produced, if you come to operate, it will be overkill." ”
Pu Yuan's face immediately bloomed, let him run a city, that is to ask him for his old life, he miscalculated the music materials back then, and was laughed at by his own marquis for a year, and now he wants to give him a city, and it is estimated that it will be finished soon.
But now it's okay, he is still doing steelmaking research in Xincheng, then everything will be fine, this is the result he wants.
The crowd soon resumed their excitement, and Cao Ang announced in public that each of the steelmaking workshops would be rewarded with fifteen yuan.
Just when the atmosphere was more enthusiastic, Dian Man suddenly pulled Cao Ang's sleeve, and then said in a low voice: "Guo Jiajun is here." ”
