This Monday, somehow, a little sluggish, in a very bad form. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, I was going to write "Why not Lock Da Qiao" today, but I didn't want to be in a state of ...... Let's make the transition first, it's only 5,000 words, sorry!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The wind howls and the sky is full of snow.

Snowflakes fluttered, dyeing the heavens and the earth white. The vast mountains and rivers, wrapped in silver, loom in the misty wind and snow.

The road that was already a little difficult has become even more difficult because of this blizzard.

Cao Peng and Cao Hong converged and slowly advanced towards Yecheng. The entourage, in addition to their respective subordinates, also had Xiahou Lan, who was about to go to Zhangjun County, Caozhou, to serve as the governor of Caozhou. This metropolitan governor is Cao Cao's new official position, which is specially set up to promote the government soldiers. His rank is higher than that of Zhonglang General, similar to a miscellaneous general. But more powerful than the miscellaneous general...... Because this metropolitan governor is in charge of military and political affairs, and implements the normal integration of soldiers and peasants, soldiers and herdsmen, his power is naturally great.

However, in front of Cao Peng and Cao Hong, Xia Houlan behaved very low-key.

After crossing the Yellow River, the group traveled day and night. However, the roads are difficult to navigate, making it difficult to increase speed.

Cao Peng and Cao Hong are not in a hurry.

The two have now stepped down, and the so-called unofficial is light, so naturally there is no need to rush away.

Anyway, you can arrive in Yecheng before the end of the year, it's too early to go, it's not meaningful, it's better to hurry slowly.

"I always feel that the teacher and Cao Hou are more like businessmen."

When staying overnight in Longxi Mountain, Xu Gai quietly talked to Deng Ai and a few others.

After this long journey, Xu Gai's smug spirit has decreased a lot. It's not too old, and there's no overnight feud. If Xu Gai didn't put on such a shelf, everyone would be able to accept it.

After all, Xu Huang and Cao Peng were officials in the same dynasty, and they were also two thousand stone officials.

If there is a gap between the two of them because of a trivial matter, it doesn't matter whether it is Deng Ai or Xu Gai, they are reluctant.

As for Cao Peng, he did not deliberately mediate their relationship.

Everything seemed so natural, unconsciously, and the grievances were resolved. Xu Gai's temperament has a bit of Xu Huang's pride, and Deng Ai and Sun Shao are not small-bellied chicken intestines. Wang Ping and Gao Zhong are older than them and have more experience than them, so they don't get involved in the entanglements.

In this way, everyone is considered to be harmonious.

Sitting in the small tent of the camp at the foot of Longxi Mountain, Xu Gai threw two pieces of charcoal and turned up the pot fire a little more, which raised the temperature in the tent a lot. Wang Ping and Gao Chong were boiling water, while Deng Ai was checking Sun Shao's schoolwork.

Sun Shao is a good martial artist, and among the others, he can be called a leader.

However, when it comes to reading and talking about the art of war and strategy, it is Deng Ai who is the hero.

In contrast, Xiang Pet is experienced and not inferior to Deng Ai. It's just not as knowledgeable and systematic as Deng Ai.

Wang Ping's foundation is the worst, and he can hardly recognize many words.

But he has a very good habit of being studious......

Although Sun Shao didn't like to read, he was forced by Cao Peng to assign homework every day. Of course, Cao Peng couldn't take the school exam from time to time, so he handed over the responsibility of this supervision to Deng Ai.

Hearing Xu Gai's words, Sun Shao said a little unhappily: "This is good, how can you talk about the teacher?" ”

"No, no, no!"

Xu Gai hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "I'm not talking about the teacher's right and wrong, it's just that when I went to the big tent just now to hand in the schoolwork, I listened to the teacher and Cao Hou muttering there, saying what is going on every day. It's just strange, how did the teacher come up with so many strange ideas? My dad has never been good at money, and I don't know what happened this time, but I actually joined in, wanting to make a lot of money......"

"This ......"

Deng Ai scratched his head, really didn't know how to explain.

His uncle's ghost ideas are indeed a lot, and sometimes Deng Ai feels confused.

For example, I went downstairs that day, and now the eighth store is about to open in Yecheng.

It is said that the ninth, and the tenth, have also begun to plan. The point is that my uncle can always make money, and the profits are amazing. Even Cao Nan muttered in private: If Cao Peng goes to business, he will definitely become the richest businessman in the world.

"By the way, what is my uncle going to do?

I see that these days, he and Cao Hou get together and mutter at every turn, and every time he finishes speaking, Cao Hou seems very excited. ”

Xu Gai scratched his head, "I don't know very well."

I only remember the last time I was in Chang'an, what did my teacher and my father say about gathering displaced people and doing work...... He also said a lot of strange terms. Later, I asked my dad what the teacher meant. My dad said he didn't know! Just listening to what the teacher said, it was very tempting, and he couldn't help but mix it up. However, I heard that Cao Hou and the teacher have a lot to do this time.

It's not just the three of them, but they're ready to enlist others to participate!

But what exactly?

I really don't know...... Anyway, even if the teacher said it, I wouldn't understand it. What shares, what contractors, what capital...... Oh, and he also said that he wanted to make the ball soup. What is Ball Soup? ”

In the small tent, the five subordinates of the General's Mansion all showed a confused look!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"You see, let's start construction on the wasteland in the west of Zhangshui first, and if it is completely built, it will take 500,000 man-hours. If it is customary to levy conscription, it may take more time...... The imperial court had to pay a large amount of money for forced labor, and at the same time, it had to take into account various restrictions such as agricultural hours, and it was necessary to build the Xicheng in three or five years.

But let's take this over and recruit 5,000 displaced people.

Taking care of food and clothing every day, one person can spend 100 yuan a day...... 5,000 people, a day of 100 dollars is 500,000 dollars. That's our cost! But after the whole project, how much grain do you say the imperial court will invest?

As a rough estimate, it would take a lot of money.

But what about us, if we take 80 million dollars, we can save 20 million dollars for the king. The whole project can be completed in 100 days. 100 Days ...... Uncle, we will have at least 30 million profits in 100 days, why not? ”

Cao Hong's eyes have become a treasure of Jian'an.

Cao Peng's calculation method is very rough and very simple...... However, there is one point, that is, a large number of displaced people are concentrated to start construction, which can save labor and man-hours to a large extent. The city walls of the Eastern Han Dynasty were mostly built of rammed earth, and the materials required were not troublesome. Timber can be obtained from the northwest, and stone is more widely available. In this way, a brand new Chang'an City can break ground......

It's just that the recruitment of displaced people, as well as the supervision work, need to be taken care of.

But even so, it's a lot of profit!

Most importantly, in this way, the displaced people can be properly resettled. With the development of the northwest, a larger, more large-scale Chang'an City is indispensable. When the new city was built, the dwellings of the displaced people were also solved and controlled. With the smooth passage of the Northwest Trade Route and the influx of a large number of Hu merchants, Chang'an will inevitably usher in a great upsurge of development, and naturally there will be a large number of job opportunities. It seems to be only 5,000 displaced people, but in fact, the benefits are incalculable.

"Zilong, are you interested?"

Seeing Cao Hong pondering, Cao Peng didn't urge, turned his head and suddenly asked Zhao Yun behind him.

"Huh?"

Zhao Yun was stunned and a little stunned.

"It's fair and open, and there's nothing to be ashamed of.

To be honest, good goods are not a bad thing, and if you can obtain them openly and honestly, so that your family can live and work in peace and contentment, I don't think it is impossible. How? If you're interested, count it in! You don't need to pay anything, just collect the money when the time comes. ”

Zhao Yun has already got married!

Although I don't have children yet, the pressure of life is inevitable.

Ma Yunlu was born in the northwest, and of course hopes to buy a property in Chang'an. But now the living conditions in Chang'an are very high, which is quite a bit difficult. Ma Yunlu has some family background, but Zhao Yun is a serious poor and white. Although there are monthly salaries, if you want to buy a house in Chang'an, there are some difficulties after all.

Hearing Cao Peng say this, Zhao Yun was also moved!

"This matter is so decided!"

Cao Hong made up his mind and slapped his thigh.

"It's just that this matter, just a few of us...... I will discuss with Zixiaozi again, and you will also go to find your father-in-law again and ask him to come forward. Let's join forces and make this ball soup bigger, what do you think? ”

"I have no objections!"

The wind and snow finally stopped.

The team set off again and headed for Yecheng.

At the end of the fourteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Peng and his party finally arrived in Yecheng.

At this time, Yecheng is already full of lights, filled with a festive atmosphere that the New Year is coming.

The signing of the Dragon City Alliance made Cao Cao's prestige unparalleled for a while. With the return of his class teacher, it also indicates that in the future, Yecheng will become the foundation of Cao Cao. It is impossible for a big war to happen again, and it should be based on recuperation. This point has been shown by Cao Cao after he returned to Yecheng.

Naturally, the people rejoiced.

And Cao Cao's opponents also breathed a sigh of relief one by one.

To be honest, Cao Cao's series of actions made Sun Quan and Liu Zhang, including Liu Bei, feel heavy pressure.

Now Cao Cao plans to recuperate, and for everyone, he will also get a chance to breathe.

Especially after the news that Cao Peng was removed from the post of lieutenant of Si Li, Xichuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Hanzhong was occupied by Cao Cao, but Xichuan still has Jiameng Pass as a gateway, so there is no need to worry.

It is difficult to go to Shu and it is difficult to go to the sky.

Liu Zhang stepped up the deployment of defenses, and at the same time began to rectify the livelihood of the people in Xichuan.

It is easy to destroy, but difficult to build.

The entire economic system of Xichuan was almost completely destroyed by Cao Peng. If you want to recover, it will not work in one or two years. It will be a long process, and Liu Zhang feels the pressure on his body, which is extremely huge.

Fortunately, with Liu Bei stationed in Nanzhong, Liu Zhang no longer worries about Nanban.

In just one year, Liu Bei has used both soft and hard measures, and has stabilized his foothold in Nanzhong. After thinking twice, Liu Zhang decided to give Liu Bei some sweetness. He ordered the blockade of Nanzhong to be relaxed and allowed Liu Bei to recruit troops in Nanzhong. You must know that although Nanban has been defeated several times, Yonghong and Meng Huo are still there.

As long as these people are still in Nanzhong, sooner or later they will be a scourge!

Liu Bei also explained in his letter that with his current strength, he has more than enough self-preservation and insufficient progress......

In other words, he can hold Nanzhong and ensure the stability of Xichuan.

But if you want to completely exterminate the Nanban, it is not easy. On the one hand, Liu Zhang needs Liu Bei to strengthen his strength, and on the other hand, he doesn't want him to develop too fast. I can relax the blockade of Nanzhong, but if you Liu Bei wants to develop, you have to look at my face. This is Liu Zhang's basic attitude towards Liu Bei......

In this case, Liu Bei is also very honest.

Seriously govern Nanzhong, and also respect Liu Zhang......

As for Sun Quan, in the middle of the year, he began to build Jiankang and prepared to move the administrative office away from Wu County.

The reason is also very simple, Cao Cao's Tanglin Island naval army is gradually growing. After Lu Su served as the Taishou of Danyang, he found that the establishment of the naval army on Tanglin Island was one big and ten small. A large five-tooth warship with ten small and medium-sized ships. It can not only ensure combat effectiveness in the waterway of the Yangtze River, but also continue to develop the combat mode in the open sea. After Pang De became the Taishou of Guangling, he increased his support for Zhou Cang.

At the same time, Zhou Cang also continued to attack, above the river, to fight the water thieves, and in the open sea, to attack the pirates.

The captured pirates and pirates were incorporated into the navy.

In this way, the combat effectiveness of Cao Cao's naval army is constantly improving.

At the same time, Lu Su also found out that Cao Jun began to build a dock in Yuzhou Mountain, and spent a lot of money to invite craftsmen from Jingzhou to build the Wuya warship. Once Cao's army can fight in the open sea, it will inevitably pose a huge threat to the coastal areas of Jiangdong. This is also what Sun Quan fears the most! Once Cao's army can land from the coast, it will be able to attack Wu County in one day and one night. Doesn't that mean that Wu County is on Cao Cao's lips?

Sun Quan thought about it for a long time and made up his mind to move away from Wu County.

There is also the warlock of the rivers and lakes who concluded that Jiankang has the spirit of dragon prosperity. So Sun Quan decided to rule Jiankang......

Overall, regardless of whether it is Cao Cao or Sun Quan, or Liu Zhang and Liu Bei, the next priority is to recuperate.

At this time, no one dared to start a war lightly, so as not to destroy the plan.

But it is clear to everyone that this is only a temporary peace...... It only depends on who gathers enough strength first, and then the great war will begin.

However, for the common people, it will be a year of peace.

"This is my mansion?"

In front of a luxurious mansion, Cao Peng stopped and looked at Cao Zun suspiciously.

"Sixth brother, you're not mistaken, are you?"

Cao Zun was dressed in a black robe and said with a smile: "How can you be mistaken, this is the mansion specially rewarded by the king for you." ”

The gate of the mansion is tall and heavy, giving people a majestic atmosphere.

The door plaque is black and gold, and there are four big characters on the book Xinwu Xianghou. Just when Cao Peng was a little confused, the door of the mansion opened.

I saw Cao Nan holding a baby, and behind her, there were Cai Yan, Huang Yueying and Xiahou Zhen, as well as Buluan Guo Huan and others.

The whole family is here!

"Daddy!"

From behind the door ran out a girl, about ten years old.

She ran out and immediately pounced on Cao Peng, which surprised Cao Peng......

Cao Juan is only nine years old, but perhaps because of her figure, it makes people feel that she is already ten years old.

"Good girl, but it's getting heavier!"

Cao Peng smiled, picked up Cao Wan and turned around before putting her down gently.

Among these many children, Cao Juan is the closest to Cao Peng. The eldest son, Cao Yang, was relatively shy, standing behind Huang Yueying, a little timid. As for the other children, they seemed a little scared. I want to come and get close, but I'm a little afraid. It is no wonder that Cao Peng now has four daughters, six sons and ten children, but no one has ever been able to be with him often. So much so that when the children saw Cao Peng, they always felt a little strange and afraid.

As for those little dolls, there is no need to mention them.

"The king said, "You need not be in a hurry to meet you on a long journey.

Get a good rest...... Today is the end of the year, and I will reunite with my family. Tomorrow, the king, summon you again...... By the way, it's better to prepare. This time, the king has been appointed with a heavy responsibility, and he will be appointed soon. ”

Important task?

As soon as Cao Peng heard these two words, he had a headache!

Heavy responsibilities often mean trouble.

It seems that he won't be able to stay in Yecheng for too long this time......

"Sixth brother, thank you to the king for treating me."

Cao Zun smiled, said goodbye and left.

At the same time, I sighed in my heart that I married Cao Peng back then, but it was just because of Cao Zhen's face. Did you ever think that he would be where he is today?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After Cao Peng saw Cao Zun leave, he took Cao Juan's hand and walked up the steps.

"Sister, why are you here?"

Cao Nan smiled, "It's not just us, my father and mother are also here...... The tiger head was supposed to follow, but he didn't want to have something to do temporarily, so he couldn't accompany him. Let's go, my father and mother have been waiting for a long time, so let's go over and see you first. ”

Cao Ji and Mrs. Zhang also came?

Cao Peng couldn't afford to greet Cai Yan and the others, and hurriedly walked to the house.

Lao Cao is indeed good, knowing that I am coming, I will take my family over, and I will reunite together for the New Year.

In my heart, I can't help but feel a little more grateful.

When he came to the hall, he saw Cao Ji and the old lady sitting in the hall.

Cao Peng stepped forward quickly and paid respects.

Cao Ji and Zhang also immediately helped him up......

Compared with when they were separated in Chang'an, Cao Ji gained weight, and his face was a lot ruddy. It seems that his position as a big farmer is really idle. According to Cao Ji, Cao Cao appointed several right-hand men, and he basically did not need to bother with official business. After recuperating in Xu Du for a month, he rushed to reunite with Cao Peng.

"But after fifteen, I will return to Xudu."

"Why?"

Cao Ji smiled: "I'm a big Si Nong...... After the fifteenth year, it is necessary to start preparing for spring ploughing affairs, and it is necessary to keep an eye on it every day, so as not to be gossiped about. You know, I'm the great Si Nong...... Hehe, many people in the DPRK and China are very unconvinced. If there is no one to be seen, there will be dissatisfaction. ”

"If anyone is dissatisfied, let him come to me!"

Cao Peng was suddenly unhappy.

I was finally able to reunite with my father, but I didn't expect that after more than ten days, I would be separated again.

Cao Ji raised his hand and patted Cao Peng's head, and scolded with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, you are now an important minister of the court, and you are also a marquis of Wuxiang, how can you do this?" I know you're powerful, but ......

Ah Fu, in the past two years, you have been a lot more murderous.

If you have time, read more scriptures...... Your mother's forty-two chapters can also eliminate disasters and avoid disasters for you. ”

Forty-two chapters of the Sutra are Buddhist scriptures!

Cao Peng is not resistant to Buddhism, but he is also not gullible.

frowned slightly, he couldn't refute Cao Ji, so he nodded and agreed......

After talking to his parents for a while, Cao Peng retreated.

As soon as he left the hall, he saw Cai Yan standing at the end of the corridor and beckoned to him.

"Madam, why is it so cold here? Why don't you go back to the house and wait for me? ”

Cai Yan's face showed a touch of melancholy.

"Ah Fu, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

Cai Yan hesitated for a moment and said softly: "This time we came over, and the king also specially told him to let Mrs. Qiao and Shang Xiang come together." ”

"Huh?"

Cao Peng shook his spirit, revealing a look of shock.

"Where are they now?"

"It's in the middle of the house...... After coming, the king didn't ask again, but I always felt uneasy in my heart. ”

Not only are you uneasy, but I'm also a little uneasy now!

Cao Peng scratched his head, although he was a little apprehensive in his heart, his face remained calm.

"Since you're here, just stay." (To be continued)
