When Zhang Xiang was trying to find the craftsman who was lying, the craftsman had disappeared, and this time someone did it on purpose, but it also gave Zhang Xiang a wake-up call, pointing to a loophole in Zhang Xiang's system.

The craftsmen who repaired the palace were all recruited from the people, Zhang Xiang did not have exclusive craftsmen, the Han Dynasty did not implement the system of three provinces and six ministries, so naturally there was no Ministry of Industry, Zhang Xiang felt the need to establish a department similar to the Ministry of Industry.

As for who made the move, Zhang Xiang has already guessed, such a means is very similar to Cao Cao's handwriting, it seems that Cao Cao has recovered, Zhang Xiang used to care about the old love, Cao Cao ran away without a son, and the woman was already very miserable.

Zhang Xiang didn't want to fall into the trap, but now it seems that he is too naïve, how can he be soft on an opponent like Cao Cao? But until then, we still have to settle the matter of the Ministry of Industry.

Similar to the department of the Ministry of Industry, that is to say, let the craftsman be an official, it will inevitably cause resistance from all parties, in fact, it is more difficult for a craftsman to be an official than a businessman, the merchant is rich, but the craftsman only has no skills.

Zhang Xiang discussed the matter of the Ministry of Construction with Yin Kui afterwards, and Yin Kui also felt that it would be very convenient to have the Ministry of Engineering, but Yin Kui also reminded Zhang Xiang to take it slowly, and the officials at this time were generally scholars.

Even if you want to buy an official during the Lingdi period, you have to look at your status and status, and Zhang Xiang also understands that you can't be in a hurry, so Zhang Xiang can only let the craftsman be a small official first, so that the reaction of all parties is not so big.

But these craftsmen and officials also need to be managed, and no one wants to do this thankless job without an official position, so in the end, Zhang Xiang has no choice but to promote Bao Hai, that is, Bao Lei's father.

Although Bao Hai's legs are useless, he understands that Entu's loyalty is not a problem, and he knows some carpenter work, and the most important thing is that he has managed the fleet, and the people who roam the sea are more wild than these craftsmen, Zhang Xiang believes that Bao Hai can manage it well.

Bao Hai has something to do, Bao Lei is not at ease, he follows Bao Hai all day long, for fear that someone will bully Bao Hai, but fortunately, thanks to Bao Lei, those craftsmen are honest, and the disobedient Bao Lei is really beaten!

Most of the craftsmen who entered the Ministry of Industry were natives of Chang'an, and they also had some cooperation with Zhang Xiang's forces, and Zhang Xiang also wanted to find out the person who deceived him by the way, but unfortunately there was still no trace.

If you don't, you don't have it! Anyway, Zhang Xiang has already identified it as Cao Cao, if it is really not Cao Cao, then Cao Cao can only admit that he is unlucky, who makes Cao Cao himself the most threatening, naturally he will strike first.

Even if it's not this time, the first two times are always, Zhang Xiang feels that this winter is the time to make some small moves, and the craftsman's affairs are over, and there will be no problems in a short period of time.

However, it may be said for a long time, the Ministry of Industry has always been a very oily and watery department in history, but now it seems that Bao Hai's management is not bad, which is also related to the climate, and there are indeed very few things about craftsmen in winter.

The sign of the Ministry of Industry is erected, although it is an empty shelf, but Zhang Xiang hopes that this is a good start, and most of the forces in various places have stopped in winter, except for some rogues and mountain bandits.

Due to the wind and snow blocking the road, the news on Zhang Xiang's side is not very well-informed, and it can also be said that it is not timely, and when Zhang Xiang gets the news, things have almost passed for several days.

In this way, a lot of important news was inadvertently missed, such as Cao Cao leaving Xuchang, in order to find his beloved woman Ding, but unfortunately in the end Ding did not want Cao Cao to return in vain.

If Zhang Xiang had known the news, maybe he would have been able to use this matter to make a fuss, but although it was late, Zhang Xiang felt that the meaning of this Ding family to Cao Cao must be different.

Once something happened to the Ding family, Cao Cao would definitely not sit idly by, Zhang Xiang ordered Zhou Yang to hold the Ding family hostage, in order to lure Cao Cao into the bait, the Ding family was just a weak woman, and she was easily caught by Zhou Yang.

Ding's family also reported the matter to Cao Cao, after all, Ding used to be his woman, and Cao Cao was very affectionate towards Ding, so he personally went to Ding's house to wait for news.

Zhou Yang's letter also came as scheduled, let Cao Cao go to see him alone, what kind of person is Cao Cao, a traitor in the late Han Dynasty, a letter made him understand who he came for this time, Ding is just a means to lure the snake out of the hole.

Cao Cao naturally would not give up his safety for the sake of a woman, even if this woman was his beloved woman, but Cao Cao didn't want to give up the Ding family like this, otherwise he wouldn't have made this trip himself.

Cao Cao could only let people protect himself secretly, and when he came to the agreed place, Cao Cao saw the tied Ding from a distance, but he didn't see the kidnapper, Cao Cao walked forward very cautiously.

When Cao Cao ran into Ding, he fell into a trap, and the meaning of this trap is not to kill people at all, just like Cao Cao didn't want to kill Zhang Xiang for the time being, Zhang Xiang didn't want to kill Cao Cao for the time being.

However, this trap is heavier than hurting people, Cao Cao's right foot naturally fell to the right side after stepping on the air, and a knife suddenly appeared on the ground on the right side, Cao Cao reacted quickly, and only lost two knuckles when he closed his hand.

This was completely different from what Zhang Xiang wanted, Zhang Xiang's order was to ask for Cao Cao's right arm, Zhou Yang watched all this from a distance, and when he saw the failure of the operation, Zhou Yang knew that there was no more chance.

Cao Cao's impulsiveness can only be impulsive this time, even if Cao Cao is thinking about impulsiveness, his subordinates will not be willing, which Zhang Xiang himself deeply understands, so Zhang Xiang only let Zhou Yang make a move once.

Whether it succeeds or not, when Zhang Xiang knew that Cao Cao had lost two knuckles, he was already very self-sufficient, but Cao Cao also won Ding's heart, and Ding returned to Cao Cao's mansion.

Zhang Xiang's move really helped Cao Cao, but Cao Cao may not appreciate it, and the matter of Cao Cao's finger cutting off for a woman has also been spread, and Yuan Shao even wrote a letter to ridicule Cao Cao, the status of women in the Han Dynasty is not very high.

What Cao Cao did did is indeed a bit of a child's affection, and Cao Cao's flesh and blood were exchanged for a woman, which was weak in the eyes of some people, and had a certain impact on Cao Cao's reputation.

Sometimes if you do a good deed, it will reduce your prestige, Cao Cao saved the Ding family out of the friendship of husband and wife, but it did not cause a good effect, if it is an ordinary person, it is indeed a good thing.

It's a pity that it was Cao Cao who had an accident, and things became different, which Zhang Xiang only realized in recent years, and it happened to be used on Cao Cao's body, if Cao Cao broke his arm, the impact would be even greater this time.

Cao Cao also asked people to check the place where he had an accident, but there were no clues, Cao Cao secretly summoned Jia Xu, "Wen told you whether Zhang Xiang made a move this time, I always have this premonition." ”

Jia Xu: "Does the lord think that Zhang Xiang can't guess that it is us who we do?" Zhang Xiang's shot this time was much later than we expected, but he was really ruthless and came directly at the lord. ”

Cao Cao: "At the beginning, Wenhe judged that Zhang Xiang would not be a killer, but this time Zhang Xiang was so ruthless, did we force Zhang Xiang too hard, should we slow down first." ”

Jia Xu: "The lord is too worried, does the lord think that Zhang Xiang is the kind of person who is afraid of persecution?" The more Zhang Xiang is persecuted, the more he can stimulate his fighting spirit, Zhang Xiang's shot this time seems to be ruthless, but there is a line, his subordinates have been to the scene in person, that kind of trap can only hurt the right chest of the lord at most, and will not hurt the life of the lord, it seems that Zhang Xiang still followed the invisible bottom line. ”

Cao Cao looked at his mutilated hand, "Since Zhang Xiang has already shot at me, let's also shoot at him!" Zhang Xiang asked me for two fingers, so I'll ask him for an arm first! ”

The tacit understanding between Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao is very scary, they both want each other's arms, Zhang Xiang knows that Cao Cao will definitely be ambitious if he loses his fingers, in order not to give Cao Cao a chance, Zhang Xiang stayed in the mansion and closed the door.

Anyway, there is nothing to do in winter, Cao Cao sent Shi A to take action this time, in fact, Shi A knows some truths, and through Mrs. Ding's description, Shi A can conclude that the person who held her hostage is Zhou Yang.

Shi A still chose to conceal it, but it doesn't mean that Shi A is not loyal to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was injured Shi A also felt guilty in his heart, if he hadn't taken Zhou Yang in the beginning, he wouldn't have what happened today.

So Cao Cao asked him to cut off Zhang Xiang's arm, Shi A didn't hesitate at all, if Zhou Yang was in front of him, Shi A would still not be soft, Cao Cao was still very relieved about Shi A.

In fact, Shi A's full-time job is assassination, and putting him in the mansion to teach is wronged him, the reason why Cao Cao did this is to hone Shi A's heart, Shi A has been helping Wang Yue take care of the martial arts hall in his early years.

So there is a little more of a businessman's rich atmosphere, Cao Cao doesn't like it very much, Shi A has been holding back for a long time, this time he was released by Cao Cao, Cao Cao believes that Shi A will definitely be able to complete the task.

Shi A entered Chang'an alone, Shi A was not an important person, and naturally no one monitored him, so no one knew that Shi A entered Chang'an, and Zhang Xiang's mansion was easy to find.

The largest mansion in Chang'an City is, Zhang Xiang will not wronged himself, of course he must choose the biggest, Shi A quickly found Zhang Xiang's mansion, Shi A has been squatting outside for ten days.

Zhang Xiang didn't mean to come out at all, Shi A was not impatient, but felt that there was no point in waiting, Shi A chose to hide nearby, Shi A's movements Cao Cao always knew.

Cao Cao also knew that it was impossible to complete such a thing as cutting off Zhang Xiang's arm so easily, so he didn't send someone to urge, and he also asked people to support Shi A, such as some food and clothing.

With Cao Cao's spies in Chang'an City, this little thing can still be done, Zhang Xiang doesn't know that there is a poisonous snake waiting for him outside, and Zhang Xiang is still immersed in family fun? Zhang Ming can already climb and walk.

Watching Zhang Ming grow up little by little, Zhang Xiang was also very happy, but maybe Zhang Xiang, who was too inexperienced as a father, made Zhang Ming catch a cold and began to have a fever. (To be continued.) )
