These Yuan Xi's men even went to Dong Cheng's house, but these people didn't know what Yuan Xi and Dong Cheng did, they just sent a letter, and no one knew the specific content. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yuan Yun touched his chin playfully, and probably guessed in his heart that it was a famous edict in history, but there were some deviations from the known history.

Originally, the history was that Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty could no longer stand Cao Cao's oppression, so at the suggestion of his close attendants, he wrote a blood letter to Dong Cheng, hoping that Dong Cheng could win over some forces and then kill Cao Cao.

Now it seems that I am afraid that the beginning of this matter was not Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, because it is obvious that Liu Xie today cannot have this courage.

As for who is in charge, it is very likely that it is Yuan Xi, although he is not the correct answer in Yuan Yun's heart, but after all, Yuan Xi is rich and powerful, and he is the most likely person, after all, he has sent more than a hundred people to Xu Du, and there are so many people who can work for him, so he is likely to be the leader behind it.

As for Dong Cheng and others, these are just clowns who jump off the beam, they can't become big things, they just like to collude with outsiders, just look at Dong Cheng always comparing himself to Wang Yun, you can guess that he regards Cao Cao as Dong Zhuo, and he wants to be the Wang Yun who is in chaos, but it's a pity that his only daughter is dedicated to Liu Xie, otherwise it is likely to be sent to Cao Cao.

"It seems that Liu Xie was forced to tie up the chariot, poor caged bird, every day is dazed, and as a result, he was used as a gunman." Yuan Yun muttered in a low voice, and then threw the confession in his hand into the stove.

At this time, Shi Shen walked in, and then said, "My lord, those who attacked Liu Yiyi have all been arrested, a total of twenty-one people. ”

"All the capital punishment, and then let them hand over the heads to the captives who returned to Yecheng, and by the way, I still have a letter for them to pass on to Yuan Xi." Yuan Yun replied simply, and soon handed over a sealed letter.

Shi Shen took the sealed letter and said with some hesitation: "What about the remaining dozens of people?" ”

Yuan Yun said with a smile: "Naturally, it is of great use, we have to brainwash them thoroughly, and then send them back to Yecheng, and then Yuan Xi's side will definitely be exciting." ”

"What is wonderful or not, can I listen to it?" When the words came, Cao Ang had already walked into the house.

When he arrived at the round table where Yuan Yun was sitting, he first took a sip of his teapot directly to his mouth, then exhaled, and then sat comfortably in the chair, looking very tired, but his spirit was unusually good.

Yuan Yun saw that one of his favorite teapots was drunk by Cao Ang, and he immediately frowned very unhappily, and decided to give this teapot to Shi Shen in a while, anyway, he had been thinking about this for a long time.

Hearing Cao Ang's question, Yuan Yun didn't hide it, and directly told the matter of those captives, just to hide the matter of the edict, because if he said it now, I am afraid that Cao Ang would misunderstand him Yuan Yun can be unpredictable, and at that time he will immediately become an outlier, and this kind of risk cannot be taken.

After hearing this, Cao Ang congratulated: "It's okay now, you have avenged Miss Liu Yiyi's revenge, and you don't have to worry about her making trouble when you return to Xudu." ”

Cao Ang only said this, and immediately changed the topic and said: "Brother Yun, those artillery pieces are really terrifying, I have been testing with Pu Yuan these days, and Ma Jun is also involved, we are going to get a disc bracket as you said, so that the height difference of the artillery can be adjusted, and the shelling point can be reasonably controlled in the future." ”

Yuan Yun saw the excitement on Cao Ang's face, and couldn't help but say a little angrily: "I went out this time, but I died nine times, and I didn't see you come over to care when I came back yesterday, are we still brothers?" ”

Cao Ang laughed out loud and said, "A thousand gunpowder troops killed Zhang He's 10,000 halberds, how strong!" I'm ready to celebrate your success, but I know you don't like those, so I dispelled the idea, as for the danger or something, then don't talk about it, I've already read the battle report of the Gunpowder Army, you let Zhang He's people not even rush within ten steps, how can you talk about danger? ”

Yuan Yun bared his teeth a little angrily, everyone said that the gunpowder army was powerful, but they completely ignored Lao Tzu's clever strategy to attack Zhang He's camp, damn, this kind of super strategy with a miraculous calculation, why didn't anyone appreciate it?

Unlucky.

After Yuan Yun scolded secretly, he decided not to deal with Cao Ang anymore.

Cao Ang didn't want to let go of Yuan Yun, so he hurriedly asked: "I asked Pu Yuan, he said that if you want to increase the range of artillery, you must increase the length of the barrel, why don't we get a few guns, so that the enemy shelling is hanging from afar, isn't it invincible?" ”

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Pu Yuan hasn't told you for so many days, why don't we lengthen the barrel?" ”

Cao Ang shook his head and said: "I've been discussing the mortar cannon for the past few days, and I really haven't had time to say anything else, I just heard Pu Yuan say that he has a way to increase the range, and he said that he came up with a method, so I immediately came to you to ask." ”

Yuan Yun sighed: "The barrel of the cannon is too long and easy to explode, so not only will it not be able to attack the enemy, but I am afraid that our own people will be injured by it, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Today's steel is not very good, Brother Cao Ang wants a better cannon, then he can only continue to wait, I have negotiated a few sets of specific methods with Pu Yuan, it depends on the steelmaking workshop in our new city, whether we can make better seamless steel in the future is the key. ”

"There has to be more investment, and with these artillery, the battlefield can be completely transformed." Zhang Liao also arrived.

Yuan Yun glanced at Zhang Liao, then tilted his head to look at Zheng Xuan and Jia Xu who were following him, as well as Pu Yuan and Ma Jun, it seemed that these people had come to his residence.

Seeing someone else Yuan Yun was better, but seeing that Zheng Xuan was also here, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered, after all, the steelmaking promised in Xincheng was mainly used to produce farm tools and various convenient tools, but now that the cannons have been made, I really don't know how to explain to this old gentleman.

Zheng Xuan also seemed to see Yuan Yun's embarrassment, so he said with a smile: "Yuan Hou doesn't have to mind, now that the war is continuous, you never forget the matter of farming, the old man is already very relieved, the world is so chaotic, war is inevitable, maybe it is really as Cao Ang Shizi said, the sooner it ends, the people can be stable earlier, and the old man has to admit it." ”

Yuan Yun exhaled a breath in his heart, this matter can be regarded as revealed, otherwise he really doesn't know how to explain it to Zheng Xuan.

After everyone sat down, Zhang Liao continued what he had just said: "The steelmaking workshop has increased investment, so that Mr. Pu Yuan has more steel tests, and sooner or later he can refine the steel that Yuan Hou said. ”

Ma Jun heard Zhang Liao say this, and was about to answer, but when he thought of his identity, he still endured it, after all, he was a craftsman, and he couldn't be compared with the person in front of him, silence was the best choice.

Yuan Yun still guessed what he thought when he saw Ma Jun's appearance, so he smiled and said: "Ma Jun, if you have something to say, no one here will care about your identity, only care about whether you have real talent and real learning." ”

Ma Jun was stunned for a moment, and said timidly: "Artillery needs to be made, not only the steelmaking workshop needs to be upgraded, if other workshops can't keep up, I'm afraid it's still difficult to want that kind of long-range artillery." ”

Yuan Yun nodded happily and said, "Ma Jun, you really have a unique vision, only the steelmaking workshop will definitely not work, and other supporting workshops must be built together to achieve better weapon production, which is imperative." ”

Jia Xu sighed when he heard this, and said: "Now that many large workshops have been opened in the new city, our manpower has reached the limit, although the four thousand captives have been subdued before, although part of the labor has been solved, but the lack of management talents, this problem is unavoidable." ”

Pu Yuan also nodded and said: "That's true, not only management talents, but also craftsmen and technicians are also very lacking, and those more delicate jobs can't be done by a group of farmers, right?" ”

When Yuan Yun heard the opinions of the crowd, he immediately looked at Cao Ang, and then said with a smile: "It depends on Brother Cao Ang to gather talents." ”

Cao Ang smiled bitterly and said, "I will definitely not let go of the talents I can find, but where do I go to find them?" Talent is not a crop in the field, and it can be harvested when the time comes, which is really something that cannot be found. ”

Yuan Yun still had a smile on his face, and then said slowly: "We must not let go of the talents outside, but we are also responsible for cultivating ourselves, now that the new city has landed, and the land is only used less than half, and then we want to expand, then we have to join a new unit, the school." ”

Zheng Xuan nodded and said: "In terms of management talents, the old man knows some, but I don't know if these people are willing to come, but the old man will try to persuade him to temporarily solve the urgent need." ”

Yuan Yun hurriedly thanked him, and then said to Pu Yuan and Ma Jun: "In the future, the number of apprentices in the workshop must be increased, as for where the personnel come from, I will find a way, the propaganda of the nearby villages, now it should have some effect, just like Pu Yuan just said, the farmers will definitely not succeed when they come up, but it does not mean that they can't learn, as long as we give some time and patience, the result will be beyond our imagination." ”

When everyone heard this, they nodded their heads one after another.

Yuan Yun stretched his body comfortably in front of the round table at this time, and then continued: "From today onwards, Xincheng will change a little, production second, and apprenticeship training first." ”

Cao Ang immediately clapped his hands and said with a smile: "My father read our explanation of the imperial examination system before, but my father still felt that he needed to be conservative, so he didn't adopt it, but he told me that he could let me implement it in the new city, and the court would never interfere." ”

Yuan Yun was overjoyed and said: "That's good, and then we have to spread this way of selecting talents, so that those who have real talent and real learning, but no status, know clearly that Xincheng is where they realize their ideals and ambitions." ”

"Yuan Hou only talked about talents, but the money is also very short, and the appropriation given by the imperial court is very small, and the ones that Yuan Hou got back from the immortal skills before are basically running out, if we didn't get the mines in Xuzhou, I'm afraid the steelmaking workshop would have run out of raw materials for a long time." Jia Xu is still the main secretary of Xincheng, and naturally he is most concerned about finance.

Yuan Yun touched his chin and said: "Now the goods produced by our new city can only be sold around Xudu, which naturally cannot break even, but soon as the dock in Xuzhou opens, we can sell our goods all day." ”

When Cao Ang heard this, he immediately interrupted: "Hasn't Xuzhou Wharf been requisitioned into state-owned? ”

Yuan Yun sighed and replied: "That's right, so we have one less tax on the wharf, but it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that the wharf was built by us, so we will become the only tax-free merchant, but all the goods sold from us can be exempted or reduced from tax, this is a big deal." ”

If a group of people heard Yuan Yun inquire about businessmen in the past, they would definitely be displeased, but they have been in the new city for a long time, and they already know how key business will play in the development of a city, so no one will despise businessmen.

Jia Xu had already nodded and smiled at the moment, since Yuan Yun had promised, then the problem of money could naturally be solved, and he could be much easier as the master of Xincheng.

Then, everyone chose to have lunch at Yuan Yun's residence, and the banquet was still discussing the development of the new city.

The initial formulation of the talent and training, as well as the flow of funds, and further construction, has become a major meeting within the new city, and the decisions discussed have also become the development outline for the next few years.
