Chapter 14 Decision-making
"Isn't it possible for the kid to stay out of the matter if he doesn't become this bad captain?" Cao Shuang asked Cao Zhen very calmly, "Just by virtue of the identity of our Cao clan, this matter will have to be faced after all." ”
Cao Zhen saw his six-year-old son in front of him, his six-year-old son had given him too many surprises since he came back from Nanjun. He understood what Cao Shuang meant, even if their father and son were not in the army or in the court, they still had to face the rivalry between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi in terms of clan, Cao Cao was not only the lord of the north, but also the lord of the Cao clan.
Cao Shuang saw Cao Zhen frowning and thinking bitterly, Cao Shuang cleared his throat and continued, "When two tigers fight, there will be an injury, this is inevitable." All we can do is to minimize the damage, and the rest can only do our best. ”
Hearing Cao Shuang say this, a gleam flashed in Cao Zhen's eyes, "What do you mean?" ”
At this time, the two tigers were fledgling, and they were pulling together everyone to enrich their strength. The child has three strategies for the father's reference. Cao Shuang said in his chest.
Cao Zhen leaned forward, "Make a decision." ”
"Enrich our forces and make our own system. In the DPRK, the government is in charge of the government, and the military power is held in the army. When the time is ripe, destroy the two tigers. Cao Shuang's face was cold, without any expression, and his voice was extremely low.
Cao Zhen knocked off the teacup on the desk in shock, Cao Shuang meant to strengthen himself, and one day he would achieve Cao Cao's position, which was no different from rebellion. Cao Zhen is very loyal to Cao Cao and Cao's family, he doesn't know how Cao Shuang can have such an idea, he must nip Cao Shuang's idea in the bud. Cao Zhen shook his head, his tone was very firm, "You have to remember that we are born as Cao Clan's people, and we are Cao Clan's ghosts when we die. ”
"The child is confused, remember the teachings of his father." Cao Shuang saw that the situation was not right, and quickly changed his words and admitted his mistake.
Don't think about this kind of thing in advance, even if you think about it. This is the next policy, but what about the middle policy? Cao Zhen waved his hand, not intending to delve into it. After all, it was a conversation between father and son, and if an outsider said this in front of him Cao Zhen, the head of that person was already on Cao Cao's table at this time.
Cao Shuang straightened his clothes and continued, "Wait, wait until the result is clear before you can help the dominant side." ”
"This is a bit opportunistic, and it will not be reused in the future." Cao Zhen denied Cao Shuang's middle strategy in one bite, the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, seeing that one of them has the advantage, at this time not only is it useless to help each other, but it will also be looked down upon, and it will be even more difficult to be reused in the future. In the end, how can the credit of the minister of the dragon be great, and he can be trusted.
"Then there is only the best strategy left, strengthen your own power, have the right to speak in both the DPRK and the army, and wander between various factions, but only loyal to the Cao family." Cao Shuang said word by word, and Cao Zhen also listened carefully. If your strength is big enough, you can protect yourself and the Cao family. Cao Zhen's frowning brows suddenly dispersed, and he couldn't stop nodding, "This strategy is very good, very good." ”
Cao Zhen also blushed, Cao Shuang's three strategies are from the perspective of the overall situation, and there is no personal feelings, just now he also taught Cao Shuang a lesson, and suddenly felt very embarrassed. Cao Shuang arched his hand and said, "The child also thinks that the best strategy is excellent, so he should be given the position of this bad captain." I didn't consult my father beforehand, and I hoped that my father would forgive my sins. Cao Shuang was very thick-skinned and put gold on his face, Cao Shuang wrote to Cao Cao just to take revenge on Han Po, this bad lieutenant was his windfall.
"Grandfather also wants to experience the child through this time, and grandfather may have his old man's thoughts." Cao Shuang thought about it carefully and continued. Cao Zhen also thought a lot, I am afraid that this is not only Cao Shuang's experience, but also Cao Cao's point to himself. Cao Cao had also sensed the uneasy atmosphere in Xu Ducheng, he wanted to make arrangements for his own death, and he wanted to train some right-hand men for his successor, so their Cao Zhen father and son were good candidates.
After thinking about this, Cao Zhen no longer had any worries. From today when they see Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, they don't have to feel embarrassed anymore. Cao Zhen looked at Cao Shuang very happily, "You really won't fall from the sky on the Cao family's Qilin, haha." Cao Shuang echoed his father with a smile, and muttered secretly in his heart, "I'm not a unicorn, I came from the afterlife." I know 500 years ago, and 500 years later. ”
Later, at the Cao Mansion family banquet, Cao Zhen drank too much. Zhang and his subordinates finally carried Cao Zhen back to the room, and Cao Shuang and Feng Hui also walked towards Cao Shuang's courtyard. As soon as Cao Shuang walked into his room, someone knocked on the door, Cao Shuang rubbed his swollen temples and went to open the door. After opening the door, I found that it was Feng Hui, "Sister Feng, is there anything else going on at such a late hour?" ”
Feng Hui was holding a cloth bag in his arms, "I have something to show you." ”
Cao Shuang invited Feng Hui into the house, "What is it?" ”
"Of course it's a good thing." Feng Hui put the cloth bag on the table and opened it for Cao Shuang to see.
Cao Shuang thought to himself that a ten-year-old girl could still have some good things to show him, could it be possible to take out the computer of the future generations. But when Cao Shuang saw the contents of the cloth bag, he was taken aback, "This, this, this is paper?" ”
"Yes, this is Caihou paper, to be precise, the improved Caihou paper." Feng Hui introduced the contents of the cloth bag to Cao Shuang, with a smile on his face.
"Where did you get that?" Cao Shuang stroked the paper in the cloth bag, although it can't be compared with the white paper of later generations, but this paper is definitely much more convenient than bamboo slips.
Feng Hui happily replied, "I did it myself." ”
"What?" Cao Shuang looked at Feng Hui with a puzzled face, "You said that you made all these papers?" ”
Feng Hui nodded, "I did it, I helped my father make paper together when I was six years old." It turned out that Feng Hui's ancestor was the descendant of Cai Hou Paper, and after Cai Lun improved his papermaking skills, he died tragically because of his participation in the palace struggle. The method of making Cai Hou paper was lost, and Feng Hui's ancestors were spared by living in seclusion in the mountains with the method of making Cai Hou paper. The paper made by the folk paper-making method is coarser and yellower than the Caihou paper, resulting in bamboo slips as the main text carrier. If it weren't for Cao Shuang to rescue Feng Hui back to his home and let people sell Feng Hui, I'm afraid that the production method of Cai Hou paper would have been lost.

Thinking of this joke in the later life, Cao Shuang couldn't help but feel a chill, but looking at the white on the table, Cao Shuang was thoughtful. Feng Hui originally wanted to give this paper to Cao Shuang, but Cao Shuang accepted the paper very unceremoniously. Cao Shuang chatted with Feng Hui about the manufacturing method of Cai Hou paper and then sent Feng Hui back to the room.
