The new city returned to Cao Ang's leadership, new workshops were gradually built, and the surrounding area of the new city began to return to its former prosperity. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The impeachment of Cao Ren in the imperial court also slowly returned to peace, and the eastern and western markets were revitalized, and the business of the nobles gradually prospered, and everything became prosperous again.
Yuan Yun and Cao Ang should be the ones who laughed the most, Cao Cao really did not break his promise, and asked for a large amount of money and grain from Cao Ren to supply the reconstruction of the new city, this time Yuan Yun redesigned and planned the layout of the workshop to make it more reasonable.
In addition to building new cities, more people were deployed to build city walls, and large-scale civil construction began in full swing.
Yuan Yun was always worried about the lack of money and food, but when the construction of the city wall was carried out for a month, he was surprised to find that the labor cost was extremely small, as long as these homeless people had a stutter, they would work hard, and as for the extra salary, they didn't even dare to reach out to take it.
The people of this era are the most kind and simple, Yuan Yun is convinced of this, so what he can't see the most is that such simple and kind people were bullied, and the overseers on the construction site were executed six people, and these six people were all accused of embezzlement of wages and careless of human life, so they were pushed down on the construction site, and then beheaded by the executioner in front of a crowd.
Cao Cao didn't agree with Yuan Yun's approach at first, after all, these overseers were all distant disciples of the big clans in the city, and there were basically no human rights for hard labor on the construction site, so it was difficult to establish the crime of taking human life, and as for the crime of embezzlement of wages, it could not reach the point of beheading.
However, when the heads of these overseers were cut off, the construction speed of the city wall was increased by three percent, and Cao Cao had nothing more to say, and issued an order that the accomplices should be held accountable for the whole family.
"With such a speed of construction, I didn't even dare to think in the past, and the construction of the city wall in one mile was completed in a month, which is unprecedented." Cao Ang looked at a tall city wall and couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing this, Yuan Yun subconsciously glanced at several large boom machines, and then replied: "With advanced tools, the enthusiasm of the workers has been greatly improved, more than 40,000 people are building at the same time, if you can't build a city wall for a mile in a month, it will be really blind." ”
Cao Ang nodded, and then said happily: "If this group of people is sent to Luoyang, it will definitely be able to make the project over there very fast, and it may not take three years for that side to be built by Brother Yun." ”
Yuan Yun laughed and said: "I saw the letter sent by Ma Jun saying that he had started experimenting with the water conservancy press next to the river over there, if he really got it, our project would be greatly improved in the future. ”
Cao Ang patted Yuan Yun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Wait and see, when you go to Luoyang, I will inevitably run over there, and I will go back and see what kind of hydraulic press you are talking about." ”
Yuan Yun smiled mysteriously, and then showed off: "If this thing really comes out, seamless steel will not be far away." ”
Cao Ang was stunned, and in an instant, he was startled, and said again and again: "Artillery, artillery, artillery, this thing is really going to be made?" ”
Yuan Yun straightened his chest, and then stood at the top of the newly built city wall and looked in the direction of Luoyang, and then said: "It's not far away, all reforms are not far away, artillery is just a point, what is important to me is to turn Luoyang into a city that completely combines commerce and industry, where agriculture is just a sideline, people are not only guarding that one acre and three points of land all year round, but to enter the workshop to work, create more valuable goods, and then sell them through developed commerce, in order to feed the city." ”
Seeing Yuan Yun's dreamy expression, Cao Ang couldn't help frowning, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Brother Yun, you have to be prepared in your heart, whether it is my father or the court, no one will agree with your idea." ”
Yuan Yun shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "I have already prepared in my heart, in an agricultural society, if you don't farm the land, you don't do your job, and the natural opposition is not small, and even if your father is there, I guess it's difficult to make sense, your father seems to care about Luoyang inexplicably, and it's strange that I propose not to be beaten by his old man, so I'm just imagining it now, if you don't even dare to think about it, then you really can't do anything." ”
Cao Ang replied with some apologies: "Brother Yun, if you want to do it, I, Cao Ang, will naturally be the first to stand up and support, so if there is any difficulty, I will follow you to carry it, even if I play the board, I will accompany you, and I will always never give up." ”
Yuan Yun immediately shuddered, and then moved away from Cao Ang, then rubbed his arms vigorously and said, "Why are you talking about this so numb, and it doesn't make people comfortable, you don't have a dragon yang fetish, right?" ”
After getting up from the ground, Yuan Yun didn't mind, patted his butt and said: "Before getting Luoyang again, what I need to do is to bundle interests, as long as I tie up a few more old guys, I don't believe they will oppose it when the time comes." ”
"Bundle of interests?" Cao Ang was confused for a while.
Yuan Yun nodded and said: "Yes, it is a bundle of interests, I will completely divide the industries in Luoyang, and some less sensitive industries will take some shares out for auction, as long as you help some more aristocratic old officials, someone will naturally stand up for Lao Tzu at that time." ”
Cao Ang was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I'm afraid you've already started to attack the people in Cao's Mansion, right?" Tell me, has Aunt Bian fallen into your trap? ”
Yuan Yun glanced at Cao Ang, how could this thing suddenly become smarter, and he didn't seem to have missed a breath.
Cao Ang saw Yuan Yun's puzzled face, so he explained: "Cao Jie told me, she was wandering outside your study before, and then heard about your plan with your third lady, she also wanted to participate in it, but she was afraid that you would scold her, so she found me here, how, if you want to block my mouth, you at least let me give me a percent." ”
Yuan Yun's face twitched, Cao Jie, a little secret agent, must be dike in the future, it is too powerful, the secret she discussed with Liu Yiyi was also listened to by her, thinking about it suddenly was shocking, Guo Yi has always been Cao Jie's follower, and now that Cao Jie knows, it means that Guo Yi also knows, and Guo Yi knows that Guo Jia also knows.
Good guy, this secret is estimated to be no secret soon, Guo Jia will definitely not let himself have a good time, damn, it's really unlucky.
After comparing the gestures and stretching out a finger, Yuan Yuncai sighed and said: "Liangcheng is naturally reserved for you, why do you need to jump out and threaten, hurry up and prepare the money, this time there are no shares taken for nothing, all those who want to come in must pay enough money, Lao Tzu is selfless and will never talk about personal feelings." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, isn't it just money, although I, Guo Jia, am from white, I have saved some money over the years, so it's better to exchange a share of Luoyang with Yuan Xiaoshenxian." really said that Guo Jia arrived, Guo Jia arrived, and it was like following the devil.
Yuan Yun feels inexplicably grumpy every time he sees Guo Jia, but he can't really beat this smart handsome guy, so he can only bear it honestly every time, and then everyone who shoots me and I arrow each other raises the bar, just like two two goods, and I don't know why Guo Jia is tired of this kind of children's game.
Guo Jia came to the nearest place in a few steps, and then hurriedly saluted Cao Ang, and then looked at Yuan Yun and said, "How is Yuan Xiaoxian going to sell your shares?" Let's say okay first, I, Guo Jia, will definitely monopolize it. ”
Yuan Yun's brain hurt a little, this hasn't opened yet, there are already twenty percent of the dry shares gone, and if it continues like this, it is estimated that there will be no scum left.
However, after glancing at Guo Jia's scoundrel face, he could only grit his teeth and admit it, and nodded: "Since Guo Jia's military master wants to buy it, I can naturally only provide convenience, but you haven't spread this matter too far, right?" ”
Guo Jia squinted at Yuan Yun, and immediately happily continued: "It's late!" ”
"What's late?" Yuan Yun was a little nervous.
Guo Jia laughed and said: "Yuan Xiaoxian reminded late, it is estimated that General Xu Chu, General Xiahoudun, General Lejin, and even General Xiahou Yuan, who is far away in Chenliu, they all want to participate in the shares." ”
Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, and said with a headache: "How much is left, I still sell a fart in this auction?" ”
Guo Jiake didn't care about this, patted the stone pier on the city wall, and then sat on it, and then comfortably continued: "Yuan Xiaoxian don't panic, you can split a few more shares, anyway, there are many nobles in Xudu, you collect money one by one, naturally there are a lot of people willing to take over." ”
Yuan Yun buckled his chin, and then replied: "It's not good to split the shares, after all, I also bought it for you, everyone must be consistent to be fair, otherwise where is there faith at all, I am ready to split the industry in Luoyang more, so that there will naturally be more shares." ”
Guo Jia immediately rushed and said: "What industry is the most profitable in Luoyang, I will buy whatever shares, and the rest is not to be discussed." ”
Yuan Yun was not surprised at all by Guo Jia's quick reaction, and after looking at Cao Ang again, he seemed to understand what was going on, but he only hesitated, and said briskly: "I just want to support Brother Xia Yun, and I don't want to make any big money, so I can arrange it casually." ”
Yuan Yun crooked his mouth and said: "Pull it down, I saw you there just now that you were contradictory to death, do you feel like cutting meat, forget it, since you are brothers, naturally you will not lose money, the most profitable thing in Luoyang workshop must be steel, but this thing Cao Sikong will definitely not allow it to be sold at will, only provide it to the imperial court, don't expect to make any money, so you can only turn the place where you make money to other places, this is going to talk about people's livelihood, everything has to be oversold, but only people's livelihood can never end, Whoever doesn't eat or dress every day is a good thing to make a lot of money. ”
Guo Jia immediately nodded in favor and expressed great support for Yuan Yun's opinion, while Cao Ang smiled and nodded in agreement.
Yuan Yun saw that Liangen did not object, so he continued: "Since people's livelihood is the most profitable, let's open a supermarket, and in the future, if there are good products, we will concentrate on selling them, and other merchants can also enter if they want to, as long as they pay the membership fee, we will open a booth for him, and charge a certain booth fee." ”
Guo Jia immediately sneered at his nostrils, and said unhappily: "I am still going to say something as Yuan Xiaoxian, it turns out to be a bazaar, this thing can only be collected by the imperial court, if you want to collect it privately, you are not afraid of violating the law of the country?" ”
Yuan Yun patted his chest confidently, and then said: "Look at me Zhang Luo, there is naturally a way to solve this matter, if you want to join the gang, just keep silent." ”
