Mi Heng had never heard of a lathe, so of course Cao Shuo had to explain it to him in detail.

After listening to Cao Shuo's explanation, Mi Heng was stunned.

He couldn't believe it and said, "How did the lord know that there was such a thing?" I've never heard of it, I've never heard of it. ”

"There's a lot more you haven't heard of." Cao Shuo grinned: "When the craftsman's workshop grows bigger, I hope you will focus more on research and development, rather than just manufacturing." ”

"R&D?" Mi Heng asked in surprise, "Doesn't the lord plan to let us make weapons in the future?" ”

"You don't necessarily need a craftsman workshop to make weapons." Cao Shuo said: "We can build a factory in Penglai, and in the future, when the territory is larger, we can also build an ordnance factory in other places." But there can only be one Craftsman's Workshop, which is the research and development base for new weapons, not just the production of weapons. ”

Standing facing the sea, Cao Shuo said: "Now I only have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but one day, I will have an army of millions and millions. Can a craftsman's workshop alone make enough weapons for a large army? ”

Mi Heng was stunned by his question.

He asked Cao Shuo: "The population of the Central Plains is only a few million, where does the lord plan to get tens of millions of troops?" ”

"As long as the war does not burn to the Central Plains, the people will be able to recuperate." Cao Shuo said: "As long as they can live and work in peace and contentment, I will encourage children and children, but in 20 years, I can make the population several times larger." When I'm like my father, what's so hard about an army of tens of millions? ”

"But now there is still a scuffle, and the people of the Central Plains are still struggling to make a living, and only the people under the rule of the lord live a stable life." Mi Heng said: "Although the Central Plains has ended the situation of separating the heroes, the remaining forces are not easy to deal with. The lord has cannons and mines, but it is not easy to defeat them. ”

"It's hard to say, it's easy to say." Cao Shuo nodded facing the sea: "Actually, there is one thing, I have never told anyone, and it is nothing to tell you today." ”

Cao Shuo suddenly came out with such a sentence, and Mi Heng was stunned: "The lord still has something to hide from the world?" ”

"Absolutely!" Cao Shuo turned to face him: "Do you know why I haven't attacked Cao Zihuan all this time?" Do you know why I only brought Guo Fengxiao, Jia Wenhe and others out, but not others from Yecheng to Shouchun? ”

"Could it be ......" Mi Heng suddenly had an epiphany, he asked in disbelief with round eyes, "Could it be that the lord has already made arrangements?" ”

"Disguise! Everything is a disguise! Cao Shuo smiled indifferently: "The East and West Wei are a disguise, and the people who used to kiss me are now serving Cao Zihuan is also a disguise." And I sent Tian Feng and Jiang Gan to Hanzhong, which is also a pretense! ”

"Tian Feng aroused public resentment and was sent to Hanzhong by the lord, and everyone knew that the lord intended to protect him." Mi Heng said: "But if the lord doesn't send a single soldier to Hanzhong, it makes people puzzled." ”

"Hanzhong is actually a bait." Cao Shuo said: "If I don't throw Hanzhong out, how can Cao Zihuan attack me." He doesn't want me to do it, how can I take down the entire Cao family and establish a huge Great Wei Empire! ”

"The lord is not the emperor, is it also ......" Mi Heng asked in astonishment: "I heard that everyone under the lord's command is trying to persuade the emperor, but the lord has been delaying. ”

"What is an emperor?" Facing the sea, a confident smile appeared at the corner of Cao Shuo's mouth: "The emperor is the person who climbs to the top of the mountain and overlooks the world, and he is the person who holds the power of life and death and sits on the country!" Isn't it interesting to be content in a corner and be an emperor who is recognized by only a small place, just like Yuan Highway back then? Either I don't want to be the emperor, or if I do, I will be the emperor of the Great Wei State! ”

Raising his arms, Cao Shuo closed his eyes slightly: "I want to use the iron cannon of the Great Wei Kingdom to blast the entire world, and I want to lead the iron cavalry of the Great Wei Kingdom to walk through thousands of rivers and mountains!" I want not only the Central Plains, but under the sky! ”

Cao Shuo's words completely stunned Mi Heng.

He had long known that Cao Shuo had ambitions, but he didn't know that Cao Shuo's ambitions were not just in the Central Plains at all.

Looking at Cao Shuo's figure standing on the cliff, Mi Heng had an indescribable taste in his heart.

The greater Cao Shuo's ambitions, the greater his future achievements.

But Mi Heng felt that his future life may always revolve around Penglai Island and the craftsman's workshop, and he would never be able to leave this place again.

Cao Shuo seemed to see through his thoughts: "Don't worry, you won't be the only one staring at the craftsman's workshop in the future, and I will send another person to be stationed in Penglai." And sooner or later you are going to return to Shouchun, and the matter on Penglai's side will only be one of your many affairs. ”

Balance the black lines on the head.

Although he was very worried that he would stay on Penglai Island forever in the future, he never thought that Cao Shuo still felt that he didn't share enough things, and he actually had to increase the affairs he was responsible for.

Very embarrassed hehehe, Mi Heng replied: "The lord really likes me......"

"Of course I can take a fancy to your abilities." Cao Shuo smiled: "They all say that you are a madman, but I have always thought that you are crazy and reasonable." If you don't have some ability, even if you want to be arrogant, you don't have the capital to be arrogant. ”

"In front of the lord, I have never been arrogant." Miyo pouted.

"That's because you found out that you don't have the capital to be crazy in front of me." Cao Shuo smiled and patted his arm: "Giving you so many things to do is also to let you accumulate some arrogant capital." ”

"I see!" Mi Heng replied: "But I still feel that no matter how much I do, I still don't have the capital to be arrogant in front of the lord." ”

"You were very arrogant at the beginning, even my father dared to insult you, what's wrong now?" Cao Shuo smiled and asked, "Where is that madman who despises everything?" ”

"People always have to grow up." Mi Heng replied: "Every time I get a year older, I will feel that the arrogance of the year is really ridiculous and ......."

"To have such a mind shows that it is not wrong for me to hand over the craftsman's workshop to you." Cao Shuo said: "People, there will always be all kinds of shortcomings, and what I was most worried about in the past was your arrogance." ”

Mi Heng didn't say anything.

He clearly remembered that if it wasn't for Cao Shuo, Cao Cao would have sent him to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao's mind is far inferior to Cao Cao.

When he arrives in Jingzhou, he will definitely offend Liu Biao.

offended two heroes one after another, and the fate waiting for him can be imagined.

At that time, he couldn't understand it, but now he can see it through.

Mi Heng said to Cao Shuo: "Don't worry, my temperament has actually changed a lot, and I will definitely not cause trouble to my lord in the future." ”

Cao Shuo nodded: "The craftsman workshop is handed over to you, the guns I mentioned to you before also have explosive shells, you and the craftsmen will think of a way." 2k reading network
