Two days later, Guo Jia left Shouchun and returned to Yecheng.

News of the construction of new facilities and the use of women for social work flew like snowflakes in front of Cao Shuo.

There are some problems in many places to a greater or lesser extent.

Cao Shuo simply ordered the selection of a group of women with some insights to join the local government, although it was not in the main position, but it also injected new breath into the local government.

At first, many people were resistant to women joining the government, but as the days passed, the resistance gradually subsided, and even letters asking for merit for female officials were sent in some places.

Looking at the letters one by one, the corners of Cao Shuo's mouth hooked up a shallow smile.

Chen Gong said on the side: "What Gongzi is doing is indeed very risky, although all places are doing it, there is some resistance in the early stage. ”

"It's strange if you don't resist." Cao Shuo said: "But they don't know that many things are easier for women to deal with than men." For example, if the women go to the village, the villagers don't have much to say, and most of them can find a suitable way to solve it. ”

"I don't quite understand, why there are more women in the government in various places, but they have stabilized?" Chen Gong said: "Those female officials don't seem to have made any political achievements. ”

"It's actually very simple, men and women don't get tired of working together." Cao Shuo smiled, lowered his voice and said to Chen Gong: "They opposed it at first, but they didn't feel the benefit of having a woman by their side to do things. Now that you know it, how can you still try your best to exclude it? ”

Chen Gong was talking with Cao Shuo, and Deng Zhan entered the room and said, "Son Qiyu, Duke Fu is back." ”

"Got into town?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It's already outside the door." Deng Zhan replied: "I'm waiting for the call of the son." ”

"Come in, please." Cao Shuo commanded him.

Deng Zhan withdrew and invited Fu Zhu in.

After entering the room, he asked after the ceremony, "Is there anything important that Childe hurriedly called me back?" ”

"I just wanted to ask, can you sail to Yizhou?" Cao Shuo asked.

"From Haixi to Yizhou, you can replenish supplies along the coast." Fu Zhu said: "Yizhou is not very far from the land of Baiyue, it should be able to reach it. ”

He then asked, "Childe wants us to occupy Yizhou?" ”

"The two navies of the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea can be merged into the East China Sea Navy." Cao Shuo said: "I want to build another South China Sea navy in Yizhou, which will play a role in the south in the future." ”

"Is Childe going to let Guo Zu go, or let Guan Cheng go?" Frustrated asked.

"Let Guan Cheng go." Cao Shuo said: "Most of the East China Sea Navy is under the management of subordinates, and he is transferred, these people do not have a strong identification with Guo Zu, and it is easier for us to control it." ”

"I'm afraid that I won't accept it." "After all, the East China Sea Navy was transformed from pirates that he had been operating for many years. ”

"Give him enough benefits, and there is no reason to refuse?" Cao Shuo said: "Tell Guan Cheng that I want to set up a military brigade in the South China Sea comparable to the East China Sea Navy. Their future mission is to wipe out the alien races on the islands of the South China Sea. In other words, after the establishment of the South China Sea Navy, there will be constant wars to be fought. ”

"I see." "I'll consult with the two generals when I get back." ”

"You don't need to consult with them, I'll go myself." Cao Shuo said: "I want to set up a total of four navies, which seem to be useless now, but once the Central Plains is pacified, they will be of great use." ”

"The north has not yet been pacified, how did Childe think of building a navy in the South China Sea?" Fu Zhu was very puzzled and said: "In this way, it will delay the war in the north. ”

"Father, I went back to Shouchun to rest, and he didn't let me participate in the war in the north anymore." Cao Shuo said: "I don't have to fight in the north, I can't be idle all the time." Since the land is restricted, I will go to the sea for a walk. ”

"Gong Cao asked Gongzi to return to Shouchun?" Frustrated and stunned: "Seeing that the Yuan family is about to be destroyed, at this time he transferred his son back, I'm afraid it's ......"

"I'll tell you the truth, my father plans to support Zihuan and balance with me." Cao Shuo said: "He must have taken Zihuan around to ask for advice recently, and as for me, I can rest." ”

"Childe doesn't plan to fight?" Fu Zhu was even more puzzled: "Although the second son has some ability, but he has no soldiers and horses under his command, how can he replace the son?" ”

"Don't talk about that." Cao Shuo waved his hand: "Father asked me to rest, then I will rest." Guo Fengxiao will come again in a few days, and I plan to take him to sea with me. ”

"What did Childe take him for?" "He's not from Childe's side. ”

"I don't want him to go to Wuhuan." Cao Shuo said: "After we go to sea, even if my father sends someone to find him, it is impossible to send the information to him. When my father returns from the expedition against Wuhuan, it is time for us to embark on the road back. ”

"I really don't understand what Cao Gong wants to do." He sighed and said, "At the beginning, the Yuan family was a balance between brothers, so that in the end, the brothers turned against each ......other."

"As long as it is a family member, there will always be such a situation." Cao Shuo said: "Power is a good thing, who wouldn't want it?" ”

"Gongzi goes to the South China Sea, in case Cao Gong sends an order to our army to go north, what should we do?" Chen Gong asked.

"Ignore it!" Cao Shuo said: "If my father asks, he will say that I will follow his request to go to the South China Sea to recuperate, and when I return from recuperation, I will naturally follow my father to fight." ”

"Childe, this is giving Cao Gong a dismount." Chen Gong asked, "Is this really good?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with that." Cao Shuo said: "What I'm thinking, I have to let my father know." ”

"But if Gongzi uses this method, isn't he afraid that Cao Gong will be unhappy?" Chen Gong asked.

"He's not happy for a long time." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "If it weren't for the unhappiness in his heart, he could support Zihuan to come and balance me?" ”

He and Fu Zhu glanced at each other, and Chen Gong said again: "What Gongzi said is the same, it's just that he left Shouchun and went to the South China Sea, and there are some ...... that should have been fought for."

"A lot of times I fight, and it doesn't have to be mine." Cao Shuo said: "My father has given an order, I must obey it, I can't afford the charge of disloyalty and unfilial piety, once I bear it, who will dare to be close to me in the future?" ”

"This may be Childe's helplessness." Fu Zhu said: "Obviously you have the strength to break away from the Cao family, but you have to suffer such idleness. ”

"Let me be angry, I won't be able to." Cao Shuo smiled: "When my father needs reinforcements but can't find me, he only has two choices in the future, one is to support Zihuan more vigorously." The second is to give up supporting Zihuan and focus only on my side. Either way, it's all good for me, no harm. ”
