Chapter 21 Seamless Cooperation
Seeing Yuan Yun constantly talking about the dangers of the Nine Turns Golden Pill in front of him, Cao Cao just smiled and said nothing, but he felt very useful in his heart, at least the son-in-law in front of him was still a little filial, and he knew that he was concerned about the health of his old life. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Cao Cao, who was very happy, quickly ordered seats for Yuan Yun and Cao Ang, and at this moment, Bian also brought tea and pastries with his maids, and then had no intention of leaving, but sat quietly beside Cao Cao.
Yuan Yun glanced at the refreshments on the table, and suddenly felt unhappy, the cream cake looked very tempting, and the walnut crisp was also very sweet and crispy, these were all robbed by the Bian family from the Yuan Mansion, this can be very certain, after all, this kind of pastry can be made in this era, as long as they are the Yuan Mansion.
"There is no need to mention Ge Xuan's matter, even if there is a problem with his Nine Turns Golden Pill, the old man will not do anything to him." After Cao Cao finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Yuan Yun, and then said suspiciously: "The old man is just strange, isn't Ge Xuan your senior brother?" Isn't it inappropriate for you to say this behind his back? ”
Yuan Yun said with a smile: "Senior Brother Ge Xuan himself doesn't know the toxicity of those golden pills, it is estimated that he has tasted them himself, so those who don't know are not guilty, Cao Sikong has always been wise, how could he not figure out this truth." ”
The corners of Cao Cao's mouth raised slightly, and said: "Don't wear a high hat for the old man, let's not say that Ge Xuan doesn't know that the Nine Turns Golden Pill is poisonous, even if he knows, the old man won't blame him, first of all, the old man doesn't plan to take any golden pill, and secondly, Ge Xuan is still of great use to the old man, so even if he makes a mistake, the old man will connive." ”
Yuan Yun was stunned when he heard this, and he became a little unhappy in an instant, Lao Tzu is the son-in-law of your Cao Mansion, why is this kind of preferential treatment always given to outsiders, and what is handed over to him is tiring and unlucky work, such as building that broken city wall.
Yuan Yun showed impatience as he spoke, and Bian, who was sitting on the side and serving Cao Cao, continued to frown again and again, thinking in his heart, even if Yuan Yun was not happy about building the city wall this time, he couldn't show it in person, in case he annoyed his husband Cao Cao, it was not Yuan Yun himself who was unlucky in the end, and he didn't know whether this son-in-law was smart or stupid.
"Okay, okay, let's say less about what shouldn't be said, since I'm here to care about the health of our elders, then say what should be said, don't mention it if it's irrelevant." Bian reminded him, and then glanced at his husband Cao Cao beside him.
Cao Cao's expression did not change at all, even if Yuan Yun had already begun to complain that the officials raised in the imperial court would not settle accounts, and compared them to the indiscriminate Nanguo priests, such ugly words still did not make Cao Cao lose his temper immediately.
Yuan Yun saw that Cao Cao was completely unmoved, and immediately stopped sarcastic, and then introduced the fortifications in Luoyang with a smile, and the change was so fast that even Cao Ang, who was accompanying him, secretly exclaimed in his heart.
Cao Cao observed carefully for a while, and finally sighed, interrupted Yuan Yun's words, and continued: "The new construction of the Xudu city wall this time is indeed a bit embarrassing for you, but since you have already taken over this matter, you should work hard, and it is not impossible to allocate more money and food to you." ”
When Yuan Yun heard this, his face became ugly again, and he shook his head and replied: "Cao Sikong, money and food are small, and not enough manpower is a big deal, although there are servants of the imperial court, but these people together are only more than a thousand people, and it is the busy time for farming, and no one can mobilize this group of people without authorization, so this time the court is not embarrassing the boy me, but he doesn't plan to let the boy build the city wall at all, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice." ”
Cao Cao finally endured to the limit, snorted heavily, and said, "If there is enough money and enough people, where do you need this bastard boy to come out and show off?" Why should the old man listen to your nonsense here? ”
Yuan Yun was unusually bold this time, and immediately rushed to say: "Cao Sikong can't say that, build so many city walls...... Not. ”
Before Yuan Yun finished speaking, he had already covered his mouth by Cao Ang, and at this time he only heard Cao Ang answer: "Things are always done first and then later, we just do our best." ”
Yuan Yun was still unhappy and said: "This problem of insufficient manpower cannot be solved by our dedication, this is a real problem." ”
Cao Ang was also embarrassed for a moment, but he only thought for a moment, and suddenly said with great joy: "Now that there are many displaced people from outside Xudu City, the imperial court does not know how to settle these people, so it is better to recruit them as laborers, which not only solves a big trouble for the imperial court, but also speeds up the construction of the city wall, killing two birds with one stone." ”
After speaking, Cao Ang bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Father, I don't know if it's appropriate for the child to arrange this way?" ”
Cao Cao was very pleased that Cao Ang could think of such a wonderful way, and his son was really smart, so he immediately nodded and said, "It's indeed a good way, my son is smart." ”
"It's just that it's not easy for these homeless people to organize, and they have to take care of their food, which is a lot of money?" Yuan Yun continued to mumble, still displeased with his face.
Cao Cao frowned and said angrily: "Cao Ang understands the thing, you bastard kid is extremely smart, why did you suddenly make a mistake?" The new city is now handed over to Cao Ren for reconstruction, and you have cultivated so many master books in your hands before, so you can't send out Zhang Luo at this time? As for the rations of the hired laborers, the old man will solve it for you, don't complain to the old man again, otherwise you will be served by 20 boards! ”
Yuan Yun also seemed to be a little scared, so he immediately shut up.
Cao Ang suddenly continued: "Now there are almost 100,000 displaced people gathered around Xudu, if you can pick out some skilled ones, you will definitely be able to speed up the speed of building the city wall, this needs to be carefully discussed, I don't know if my father will have time, and when the child finishes counting the people, I can come and ask you for advice." ”
Cao Cao shook his hand, looked at Cao Ang lovingly, and said: "Since this matter is what you thought of, then leave it to you to be responsible for the end, my father will not participate this time, so let's take a good look at your real ability." ”
Cao Ang immediately clenched his fists and said: "Cao Ang will definitely complete this matter, and my father can rest assured." ”
Yuan Yun looked at Cao Ang's face with anger, and immediately said unhappily: "This matter is a task assigned to me by the imperial court, is Brother Cao Ang too excited?" ”
Syllable! Bian had just stood up and was about to go out to beckon his subordinates to come in and change the tea, when he heard Yuan Yun say this, he immediately slapped him without the slightest hesitation.
After patting Yuan Yun's head, Bian Shi said unhappily: "Why are you so angry today, bastard boy, doesn't Cao Sikong know that this matter is embarrassing for you?" Need you little bastard to give a face? You listen to Cao Ang, do your thing well, if you really can't finish it, Aunt Bian will intercede with you again. ”
Cao Cao looked at Yuan Yun covering the back of his head, and his heart was quite comfortable, he was sitting a little far away at the moment, and he couldn't slap it directly, but it was also very pleasant to look at it like this, this bastard kid actually put on a face today to show people, and he really needed to beat it well.
Since he said that he could intercede in front of Cao Cao, Yuan Yun felt that he had earned it today, so he immediately saluted Bian and said, "Aunt Bian is so good, next time you come to my house, the kid will definitely cook and greet you personally." ”
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and snorted, "Did the old man say that he should pay attention to other people's pleas?" ”
After saying this, Cao Cao suddenly found that today's Yuan Yun was not fun at all, and he looked bored with a stinky face, so he waved his hand impatiently: "Get out, hurry up, the old man is tired, I don't have time to pay attention to you little bastard, you hurry up about building the city wall, Cao Ang will let him help you for the time being, if you dare to be lazy, wait for the big board to serve." ”
Yuan Yun walked out of the study, and was stopped by Cao Ang when he arrived in the courtyard.
Cao Ang caught up with him in a few steps, and when he arrived at his side, he immediately raised his right palm, and then slapped Yuan Yun fiercely, his face was full of pride.
Yuan Yun smiled crookedly and said, "Your acting skills are too exaggerated, you still need to exercise." ”
Cao Ang laughed and said: "Don't get cheap and sell well, if I hadn't helped you just now, how could you have received such a big benefit from your father, now you are satisfied, not only allow you to hire the homeless people outside the city, but also help you solve the rations of these homeless people, you should thank me." ”
Yuan Yun frowned, and said unhappily: "If you take all the money from this occupation and don't take any of my shares, I will thank you, how about it?" Promise or not not agree? ”
"Promise a fart, anyway, 10,000 yuan will be sent to you, if you don't have me when you pay dividends, you just wait for me to dismantle your platform." Cao Ang immediately retorted.
The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth twitched, and then he sighed: "Is it so difficult to eat alone once?" Every time you make money, why are your noses so sensitive and unlucky. ”
When Yuan Yun spoke, he happened to see Ge Xuan returning from the outer courtyard, but the other party didn't notice him at all.
Now that he saw Ge Xuan, Yuan Yun naturally asked, "What is your father going to let Ge Xuan do?" ”
Cao Ang also tilted his neck and glanced at Ge Xuan in the outer courtyard, then shook his head and said: "I don't know the specifics, but my father seems to have promised him that he is going to build a Taoist temple for him, and he also promised to support the Taoist Lingbao faction, as for why I really don't know, my father doesn't believe in ghosts and gods on weekdays, and I don't know what's wrong this time?" ”
Yuan Yun's mind was full of question marks, Cao Cao wouldn't really plan to ask God to worship the Buddha, and then cultivate to become an immortal, right? After thinking about it, I felt very ridiculous, if Cao Cao believed in ghosts and gods, it is estimated that he would not be able to become a hero through the ages.
Thinking about Ge Xuan like this, Yuan Yun was a little uneasy in his heart, this Tai Chi Immortal obviously worshiped the nonsense of becoming an immortal, and he didn't know what he would toss out later, especially with Cao Cao's support at this moment, a bad one will make a big change, it is really a common superstition among people in this era, and it is also very simple, it is simply the best group of audiences to deceive.
It seems that he has to find someone to stare at Ge Xuancaicheng, after all, today is a tear with this inexplicable senior brother, if he really wants to find something, then he must prevent it, like Liu Bei's kidnapping of himself, it is enough to happen once, and it will be fatal if he comes again.
