In July 197, Tao Ying established Xuzhou Commercial Bank at the suggestion of Liu Ye, which opened the development model of Xuzhou. In order to occupy a place in the next world hegemony, Liu Ye helped Tao Ying analyze the current trend of the world.

Who can make the princes of the world successful? Liu Ye asked Tao Ying to beware of Lu Bu in the north and Sun Ce in the south. Sun Ce fought in the south and the north, and had gradually laid down a lot of territory. Tao Ying knew that this was the case with his two enemies at the moment. In June, Chen Deng wrote in a letter that Sun Ce had sent troops to attack Youquan in Wu County, and he wanted to send troops to attack the Huiji army.

When Sun Ce sent troops to Fuchun and Qiantang, the Fuchun County Commander and the Qiantang County Commander were expected to be unable to resist Sun Ce's army, so the Qiantang County Commander and the Fuchun County Commander defected to Suzhou County together. Chen Deng accepted their surrender and sent 10,000 troops and horses to help build the city wall and defend Sun Ce's troops.

The surrender of Qiantang and Fuchun made Sun Ce angry, and Cheng Pu advocated continuing to attack the city, but Zhou Yu persuaded Sun Ce that Sun Ce was now fledgling and could not easily challenge Chen Deng, so Sun Ce could only hold back for the time being and led his army north to attack Youquan.

In May, he got two counties of Fuchun and Qiantang, which made Tao Ying very happy, and received the war report in July, Tao Ying decided to send an order to Suzhou Chen Deng, so that he would merge Fuchun and Qiantang counties, and after the merger, it would be called Hangzhou City.

After getting Hangzhou, Tao Ying wrote to Wang Lang, the Taishou of Huiji, and persuaded Wang Lang to come to Xuzhou. And in July, there was also good news, that is, Liu Xun led his troops to successfully capture the Liang State. Liang was captured, Cao Cao led the troops to recruit this villain who robbed his son, the soldiers and horses had not yet arrived in Liang, and suddenly the spies came to report that Liu Xun had announced the surrender of Xuzhou, and Liang was already the land of Xuzhou.

Cao Cao had a covenant with Tao Ying for non-aggression, so he had no choice but to give up. Guo Jia offered a plan to seal Tao for Peng Cheng, and then asked Peng Cheng to take Liu Xun's head and send it. The edict of the puppet Han Emperor was sent to Xuzhou, and Tao Ying unceremoniously accepted Peng Chenghou's reward, but refused to offer Liu Xun's head.

In order to let Cao Cao have a step down, Tao Ying felt that Cao Pi, who had reached out to Xuzhou to influence, would be sent back to Yanzhou. When Cao Pi was leaving, Liu Ye asked Tao to summon Cao Pi, and then promised to support Cao Pi to inherit Cao Cao's mantle in the future, and Cao Pi was very happy. At this time, Pengcheng has implemented the household registration management system, Pengcheng's domestic household registration is very rare, especially Pengcheng's household registration is even more difficult to add, when Cao Pi left, Tao Ying retained his Pengcheng household registration, allowing him to freely enter and exit Xuzhou.

After Cao Pi was released, after Cao Pi returned to China, he went around preaching Xuzhou, telling everyone the propaganda he saw in Xuzhou, and then distributing the books brought by Xuzhou to the children of Yanzhou officials of his own age, which made Cao Cao angry when he found out. This kid is simply a propaganda tool sent by Tao Ying, just like a pyramid marketing person, no big or small, no respect or humility, he even took Tao Ying's future social profile to tell his family, every day the slave work in the courtyard is not done and he comes to listen to Cao Pi talk about Xuzhou.

It is no wonder that Cao Pi was sent to Xuzhou when he was only seven or eight years old, and after three years in Xuzhou, he received all the new education in Xuzhou, and what he saw and heard in Xuzhou was not comparable to these soil buns at all.

Because Cao Pi had Peng Chengguo's particularly noble silver token, he once went to Xiapi to see the steam iron artillery ship in the "Naturalist". Although the ship had not yet been developed, Cao Pi was still excited to see a half-wood and half-iron warship docked in the harbor of Xiapi, and he was still excited and never fell asleep for several days and nights.

Watching Cao Pi stir up his Cao Mansion and jump with chickens, Cao Cao called Cao Pi to the study to get ready to study his knowledge. Look at what he has learned as a hostage in Xuzhou in the past three years.

Inside the house, Cao Cao's staff Guo Jia and Xun Yu and other literati were there, Xun Yu and other literati examined Cao Pi's Four Books and Five Classics, Cao Pi was able to answer them fluently, everyone couldn't help but praise him, and Cao Cao's face suddenly felt bright. Guo Jia asked Cao Pi to compose poems, and Cao Pi also wrote very rhyming poems.

Although the poem does not have the demeanor of a master, it is also very good at his age. Cao Cao asked Cao Pi why he mixed with his subordinates every day, and he didn't know the difference between respect and inferiority?

Cao Pi said that all people are created equal, and people only have the size of their abilities, but we have no right to discriminate against others. When these words came out of Cao Pi's mouth, they really shocked several people around him.

Cao Pi also persuaded Cao Cao to send students to Pengcheng to study, there are many new-style schools in Pengcheng, and they can learn a lot of real skills, and then come back to build Yanzhou. Cao Cao had never been to Xuzhou, and neither had Xun Yu and Guo Jia, so they asked Cao Pi what school he had in Xuzhou?

So Cao Pi told them about the Kongrong School he studied, and then introduced the schools that had been produced in various ways in Pengcheng's Law School, Official School and Military School.

Then he told Cao Cao and others that in Pengcheng, no one is noble or low, and everyone acts according to the law. There is no distinction between high and low occupations, that is, a student of a paper school can also become an official in a paper factory, and the official position is not lower than that of governing the state and county.

Listening to Tao Ying's various reforms, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, the three outlines and five constants, respect and humility are orderly, what has Tao Ying changed? Seeing that Cao Cao didn't care, Cao Pi mentioned the military of Xuzhou again. At this time, various reforms in Xuzhou had just begun, and Cao Pi knew about it, so he used Cao Cao to describe Pengcheng's strength.

"Father, the height of our Pengcheng city is even higher than that of Luoyang, all of them are made of stone, and artillery is set up on the wall of Pengcheng, the enemy has not arrived, and the cannon is lit, and the sound is like a huge thunder, which can blow the siege vehicle into powder! Moreover, Xiapi is developing an ironclad battleship, which is made of steel, and the hundred-ton steel floats on the surface of the water without sinking. The steam engine developed by Lord Duzhou Mu, the ironclad ship can come and go freely in the water, and it does not rely on the wind! ”

After Cao Pi finished speaking, everyone couldn't help laughing. This is simply a fool's dream, the iron in the hundred tons floats on the surface of the water and does not sink, is it possible that Tao should have magic skills?

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Cao Pi sighed. This was an era when information exchange was extremely underdeveloped, and carrier pigeons were used to transmit messages. Tao Ying once said in the future society that there will be something called a telephone in the future. Even when you're thousands of miles away, you can talk on the phone as if you're close to you.

If you tell them this, they won't believe it!

Now Xuzhou's school reform, from the primary school began to teach "A Preliminary Study of the Future Society", the secondary school began to be divided into liberal arts and science, liberal arts to study to serve the country, science to develop industry, industry is particularly interesting, you can also learn physics, simple chemistry, mechanics and so on. Cao Pi wants to transfer to science to study, and it would be great to be able to enter the artillery school or the mechanical school in the future!

It's a pity that Yanzhou is still teaching things that are not the same, which makes Cao Pi feel that he can't stay in Yanzhou for a moment. Introducing Xuzhou, Cao Cao didn't believe it, and Cao Pi couldn't bring the newspaper, so he dedicated the sword around him to Cao Cao. Seeing that his son actually gave him a sword, Cao Cao smiled again.
