Yuan Yun quietly glanced at the team on the left, and found that Cao Chong was baring his teeth at him, and immediately smiled, how can you clean up Chen Lin and Wei Chong today, if they really buy slaves and make a fortune, it is guaranteed that all nobles will follow suit, and it will be too late to stop it when the time comes.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun arched his hand at Cao Ang, and then said loudly: "Since the Chen and Wei families insist on using slaves, there is nothing to oppose, anyway, it is not our own race, as for foreign races, I Yuan Yun has nothing to care about." ”

As soon as Yuan Yun's voice fell, Chen Lin and Wei Chong were instantly confused, because they were ready to argue, and even discussed with Sima Yi for several sleepless days and nights in order to make the slavery smoothly implemented, not wanting to really reach the court, but Yuan Yun was defeated with a word.

Yuan Yun stood aside and carefully admired the change in the expressions of Chen Lin and Wei Chong, laughed for a while, and then continued: "These days, Cao Chong and I have come up with a good thing, called a steam engine, which can greatly reduce manpower, and the creation of this thing is to supplement the lack of labor, and now that the Chen and Wei families have a large number of slaves, I don't think there is any need for it." ”

Cao Ang was instantly interested when he heard this, so he asked curiously: "How much manpower can this steam engine solve?" ”

Yuan Yun smiled slightly, then beckoned to Cao Chong, and only when Cao Chong walked into the middle of the field did he reply: "As for how big the role of this steam engine is, Cao Chong will answer them one by one." ”

Cao Chong immediately took over Yuan Yun's words, and said loudly: "Now that the steam engine has been basically formed, as long as it is used on the production line, it can replace sixty percent of the labor, and it can work without sleep, far exceeding the limit that can be reached by manpower, and the consumption is the coal that the workshop has not used much as fuel, and it does not occupy oil at all, which saves a lot of cost." ”

As soon as these words came out, the court was instantly like a frying pan, and everyone began to discuss, if what Cao Chong said was true, then the existence of this kind of steam engine was equivalent to making his own labor several times over.

The most powerful thing is that these machines don't sleep, don't eat or drink, they just consume some coal, and coal is a thing that everyone is rushing to use in the early years, so the price is expensive, and when the coal mine is more and more explored, the price has long fallen below the bottom line, and now the more popular is oil, so if this steam engine really works, it is indeed more cost-effective than slaves.

Then Cao Chong explained to Cao Ang in detail the operation principle of the steam engine, the Manchu Dynasty was the same as Cao Ang, and few people could understand it, but Cao Chong said it in great detail, at least it proved that this matter was very true, not made up by Yuan Yun.

Cao Ang seemed very satisfied after listening to Cao Chong's introduction in detail, and then the topic naturally turned to slavery.

Chen Lin and Wei Chong naturally would not give up, so the former suggested again: "It is a happy thing to have something better to reflect on yourself, but if slaves can also use it, it is not equivalent to having double the labor, so the old minister thinks that the two things are not contradictory." ”

As soon as Chen Lin finished speaking, Yuan Yun smiled heartily and said, "The rule of using the steam engine is that there must be no slaves in the family, and this cannot be broken. ”

When Wei Chong heard Yuan Yun say this, he immediately snorted heavily and said, "Where did this rule come from, and when was it set?" ”

Yuan Yun glanced at Wei Chong contemptuously, and then pointed to his nose and said, "Just now I Yuan Yun decided, do you have any opinions on Wei Chong?" ”

Wei Chong was choked by Yuan Yun, his brows furrowed, but he couldn't speak for a long time, after all, things were thought up by Yuan Yun, and whatever rules he wanted to set were up to him, but in this way, this steam engine was immediately made into the opposite of slaves, and I believe that all the noble officials present had to think carefully, because according to the rules that Yuan Yun had just established, they could only choose one.

Although Sima Yi didn't speak, his face looked very ugly, because he had already guessed that those nobles who had agreed to slavery before would inevitably rush to Yuan Yun's steam engine, because everyone knew that the things Yuan Yun made had always been very useful, and the most important point was that there were too many industries involved in Yuan Fu, and now I am afraid that fighting against Yuan Yun will not only not only not be able to get the steam engine, but will even be hindered in many other aspects, which is something that everyone is very taboo.

As Sima Yi guessed, when Cao Ang consulted again about slavery, everyone fell to the side of abolition, so Chen Lin and Wei Chong became the biggest unlucky bastards, even if the money they had paid could be returned, but the bribes they paid to make this system take shape could not be recovered, which was the biggest loss.

When the matter was almost discussed, the court became lively again, and everyone began to ask Yuan Yun when he could use this kind of steam engine, Yuan Yun responded one after another, until he saw Chen Lin and Wei Chong again, his face sank, and said: "Ben Hou just remembered a rule, if one of them accidentally passed the steam engine to the Chen and Wei families, then I will not dare to guarantee the maintenance and parts distribution in the future." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wei Chong was finally ignited, shouted, and said: "Yuan Yun, you deceive people too much, why do other people use land, but we can't use it?" What are your rules? ”

Yuan Yun smiled faintly, and then said word by word: "This rule is to see that you are unhappy, is it reasonable enough?" ”

Yuan Yun's ridicule immediately made the whole hall laugh, and some people even jumped out to accuse Chen Lin and Wei Chong of not seeing the form clearly, and still using some old-fashioned methods, and even more so for slavery.

Wei Chong was originally a military general, and even if he rebelled back then, he was finally reused by Cao Cao, so his self-esteem was extremely high, where could he stand such humiliation, after shouting again, he actually pounced directly on Yuan Yun, and then stretched out ten fingers and firmly pinched Yuan Yun's neck.

Yuan Yun has always had a low force value, but at this moment, he was restrained by Wei Chong, and he really didn't have the ability to resist, he only felt that his throat was deeply stuck, and his breathing became more and more difficult, and he was almost about to faint.

Finally, Cao Ang's guards made a move, and several people instantly pulled Wei Chong aside, and Yuan Yun got a chance to breathe.

"Wei Chong, who gave you the courage to dare to commit murder in front of me, today you dare to kill the important ministers of the court in front of me, will you dare to raise your sword and rebel again tomorrow?" When Cao Ang spoke, the blood on his face faded, and a cold cold light flashed in his eyes, which made the court, which was still very chaotic, immediately quiet.

When Wei Chong saw Cao Ang's face like this, he was immediately frightened and regained his senses, so he knelt down with a pop, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and kept begging for mercy in his mouth.

Cao Ang just looked at the audience coldly, until his eyes saw Yuan Yun who was supported by Cao Chong, and then he suddenly snorted heavily and shouted: "Come on, put Wei Chong in the prison for questioning, confiscate all the property, and all the children in the clan will be assigned to Xiliang." ”

Cao Ang's order came out, and he heard Cao Chong whispering in Yuan Yun's ear: "Big brother is really relieving this time, and you will be angry with your brother-in-law at once." ”

Yuan Yun heard Cao Chong say this, but he had nothing to be happy about, but a cold sweat broke out behind his back, and Cao Ang finally began to swell.

When people have absolute rights, even if they are modest and cautious, they will gradually be changed, and Cao Cao was pressed on it at the beginning, so Cao Ang was careful everywhere, controlling his desires all the time, and now Cao Cao is gone, he has become the biggest power holder in the world, and there are people around him who are constantly touting, and expansion is inevitable.

I just didn't expect it to come so early.

Although Wei Chong hated it, but the crime was not so much, the whole family was assigned to deal with the prisoner of a serious crime, his behavior in the court was out of control, it was really not a big crime, and what Yuan Yun had done did I don't know how much more ridiculous it was.

Thinking of Wei Chong's past, Yuan Yun sighed again, when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, he handed over the rear to Wei Chong with peace of mind, and trusted him very much, but the result was that such a trusted person chose to betray, which almost caused Cao Cao to lose everything, but in the end, Cao Cao chose to give Wei Chong a chance for the sake of the overall situation.

Now it's Cao Ang's turn to take charge, he is not Cao Cao, and Luoyang is strong, so the importance of Wei Chong has become dispensable, so at this time, it is naturally time to settle accounts after the autumn.

Thinking so, Yuan Yun glanced at Chen Lin again, a member of the Seven Sons of Jian'an, who had issued an edict back then, and scolded Cao Cao's ancestors for eighteen generations, so I am afraid that he would not be able to escape Cao Ang's reckoning after the autumn.

Sure enough, after Wei Chong was taken away by the palace guards, Cao Ang's eyes naturally came to his face, and Chen Lin, as a scholar, was somewhat smarter than Wei Chong, so he seemed to have guessed at the moment that Wei Chong's fate was also his.

When Chen Lin saw Cao Ang's eyes, he suddenly felt like he had lost his soul, what would be his fate next, he seemed to understand it in an instant.

"Slavery came out of Chen Lin's hands, and now it seems that it is too inconsiderate, so you don't need to make any suggestions in the future, go home and farm." When Cao Ang spoke, there was a majesty in his eyes that could never be violated.

disposed of two important ministers of the court in a row, which was unprecedented, so everyone present didn't even dare to take a breath of air, and it was only now that they finally saw Cao Ang's power, almost not inferior to Cao Cao himself.

Chen Lin was also taken down by the palace guards, when some people thought that he was lucky today and did not end up like Wei Chong, Yuan Yun smiled bitterly in his heart, if he didn't deal with Chen Lin now, it meant that he would be even more cruel to deal with later, Cao Ang's slow approach was too familiar.

"The chores have been dealt with, and then I want to discuss with you about the implementation of the imperial examination system." Cao Ang didn't pay any attention to Wei Chong or Chen Lin, for him, the value of these two people didn't know the value of delaying even a minute more.
