Chapter 472: Gifts

In May of the twenty-second year of Jian'an, in the summer, the world was peaceful. book network . . c o m

Cao Cao issued the third order to seek talents, called "Raise the Virtuous and Do Not Limit the Conduct Order", and ordered his subordinates to recommend talents. This is the third time that Cao Cao has implemented the policy of "meritocracy" in the form of an order.

So far, Cao Wei has formed a policy program for schools below the county level to assess and select officials, and the county to recommend talents based on meritocracy, and wants to slowly deepen the reform from the bottom to the bottom.

There is no way, the strength of the northern family is too strong, and Cao Cao has been poor for more than ten years, and he can only do this.

Xinyang, Xinyang Building, at this time there is an endless stream of cars and horses, and the popularity is at its peak.

In February, after Cao Zhi built the highway from Xinyang Wholesale Market to Yiyang County, the entire commercial network was put into operation.

A large number of southern goods, starting from the Xinyang wholesale market, can go north to Xudu, Luoyang, and Chang'an. On the south bank of the Yellow River, important towns have become thoroughfares.

In May, Cao Cao received a gift from Cao Zhi in Yecheng, a bus!

This car was specially customized by Cao Zhi from the first depot of Chenhe, modified with a bus, painted golden all over, and has a restaurant, a toilet, and a bed.

This is the first RV in the world, and Yang Xi didn't even get himself such a luxurious configuration.

Cao Cao led Wei Guowu to test the car in Yecheng Square, and the headache was cured again.

The Wei Wang's special car can reach 100 kilometers per hour, and is the first rapid land transportation except for trains.

After Cao Cao tested the car, he invited Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and other Wu Yi to test ride one by one, and he was very happy.

But another problem arises.

At this time, the highways of the Wei State were only built through some counties and large cities, and most of the areas could not be visited by this car.

So Cao Cao asked Jia Xu, and Jia Xu said: "King Wei, the son of Jinzhi got the right to operate trucks and tractors in Chenhe Kingdom, and it is said that next month, Chen Qiong, Zhou Wei, and Xu Yi will also get the right to operate." At that time, there will be a steady stream of vehicles entering our Dawei, but we should build more roads. Yang Xi has a good saying, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. ā€

Cao Zhi was on the side, happy in his heart, this was still the idea that Wang Guo gave himself, and this was the effect he wanted.

Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu, Liu Ye and others again, Wu all thought so, Chen Qun said: "This car is good, if my Great Wei can also make it, it will be more perfect." ā€

Cao Cao nodded and looked at Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi was embarrassed: "Father! The craftsmanship of this car is complicated, but imitation is impossible. For example, the tires of this car, as well as many accessories, are made of something called rubber, which is not available in my Dawei. Also, the power diesel engine, diesel, and lighter equipment motor units can only be made by Chenhe State. ā€

"There's no other way?" Cao Cao looked serious, this is a fraud Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi shook his head, and Cao Cao looked disappointed.

At this time, the crown prince Cao Pi suddenly said: "Zijian, it is said that you have 100 trucks and 500 tractors arriving this year?" ā€

Cao Pi arched his hand and said: "Back to the prince, it's not me who has it, it's Xinyang Industrial Company." ā€

"It's not the same. Today, our Great Wei Kingdom has all kinds of industries to prosper, and it happens to use these vehicles. Besides, if you don't have the road built by your father, your chariots are also scrap metal. If not, you will send them to your father, and he will show you what you have done. ā€

Cao Pi is a general at the exit, and if Cao Zhizhen hands over all these cars, it is estimated that Ma will go bankrupt.

The freight costs of these cars add up to all the working capital of Xinyang Industry.

So Cao Zhi said with a wit: "I would like to, but this batch of goods, the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce accounts for half of the shares." Why don't I give half of my money to my father, and the remaining half to be paid by the prince? ā€

Cao Pi was shocked, this Cao Zhi really dared to send it, and he really couldn't afford to send it.

That's more than 200,000 silver dollars!

out of half, but also more than 100,000.

Cao Cao saw the embarrassment, and said: "You two don't need to be reckless, this car, my Wei State can still afford it, and I don't need anyone to send it." Zijian, since you choose business, if you can keep your duty, it will be my heart, and in the future, your two brothers, one government and one business, and sincere cooperation, may not be able to make my Great Wei Kingdom to a higher level. ā€

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi then bowed down separately.

Cao Cao watched the two retreat, and sighed helplessly.

It seems that the competition between the two has just begun, Cao Zhi has the support of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, even himself, and he doesn't dare to offend too much, he really doesn't dare to ask for this car.

If Yang Xi found an excuse to move his army north, Cao Cao really had no confidence to resist the enemy.

However, it was said that Cao Pi returned to the prince's mansion and discussed with Sima Yi and others how to deal with Cao Zhi.

Sima Yi said: "Today, the Marquis of Anchang has financial support, and he is called recruiting workers, but in fact, he is recruiting troops. Yang Xiu, Ding Yi, and Ding Hui (yƬ) are all attached to him, and he will become the prince's enemy one day. ā€

Cao Pi said: "I don't want this Yang Xiu to be willing to seek the near and far, such a short-sighted person is annoying to see it, so it is better to find an opportunity to pull it out, so as not to become his wings in the future." ā€

Sima Yi shook his head.

"The prince can't be reckless, this Yang Xiu is an important person of the Hongnong Yang family, but he can't move lightly!"

Speaking of Hongnong Yang's family, Cao Pi has one head and two big.

It turns out that this Hongnong Yang family, that is, Huayin Yang family, is Yang surnamed Junwang, Yang Chang, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, and the great-grandson Yang Zhenguan to Taiwei, known as "Confucius of Guanxi", son Yang Bing, Sun Yang Ci, great-grandson Yang Biao, "the fourth and third dukes".

Yang Zhenzi and Yang Feng are high-ranking officials in the future, all of whom are prominent.

It is the later Sui Dynasty royal family, Yang Su and his son Yang Xuangan of the Yue Kingdom, etc., the marriage of the four surnames of "Li Wuwei Yang" in the Tang Dynasty, the family of "Eleventh Prime Minister" surnamed Yang, Concubine Yang of Tang Taizong, the mother of Wu Zetian, and Empress Yang of Xuanzong of Tang, etc., all after Hongnong Yang.

Yang Xiu's father, Yang Biao, came to protect the lord when he dedicated the emperor to Xu County, and was framed and imprisoned by Cao Cao, and was later released, and he was appointed too often.

In this way, Yang Biao is a meritorious minister, and Yang Xiu is also promoted to filial piety and integrity.

Lang Ke is a high-ranking official whose position is second only to Shangshu, Shilang, and Prime Minister.

It was when this group of people was big that Wu Zhen jumped out and said: "Prince, he Anchanghou can cooperate with Chenhe Kingdom, why can't the prince contact other countries?" ā€

Cao Pi said: "Impossible, if this prince is also in contact with Chenhe Kingdom, how can my Great Wei have a reason to exist." ā€

Wu Zhi said: "My son Wu Ying has some dealings with Han Yu Shao'a. It is said that Yu Shao'a, Naicai, that is, the airship, diesel engine, etc., can be made, the prince might as well cooperate with him, and at that time maybe he can use it as an internal response and take Han from the west. ā€

At this time, Chen Qun also said: "I can testify to Ji Chong's words, and Yu Shao'a and his brother Chen Qiong also communicated. It is said that it recently opened a fertilizer factory in Fangling, and its quality is not inferior to that of Chenheguo, and the price is cheap. ā€

Wu Zhen and Chen Qun both said so, Cao Pi naturally believed it, so he asked the two to summon Wu Ying and Chen Qiong to meet.

Yu Shao'a's action finally made a major breakthrough, and another transnational cooperation began.
