"Cao Xun, the scenery here is so beautiful, it would be good if you lived here all the time."

On the wall of Xiangcheng, Du Siniang snuggled up to Cao Bin and sighed.

Xiangyang is surrounded by mountains and rivers.

There are both the Han River passing through the city, and there is also the Xiangshui River surrounding the city.

Overlooking from a high position, the river breeze blows, and the eye is far away, which makes people feel happy.

Cao Bin pondered for a moment and said:

"In that case, why don't we build a manor here, and we can come and live here in our spare time."

At the mention of this, Master Li couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"Cao Xun, don't be too spoiled, Shi Niang? We live in Bianjing, which is far away and inconvenient, and building a manor will only waste money. ”

Cao Bin shook his head and said:

"I used to have a wish to travel the world and have a manor in every part of the world."

"Wherever you go, it's home! What's more, Bianjing is only more than a thousand miles here. ”

Du Siniang covered her mouth and smiled:

"Cao Xun's wish is very simple, the world's temples are one family, Cao Yang goes to be a monk, and he can be a family everywhere......"

At this moment, Wang Tongju and Bao Mian came over with solemn faces:

"Uncle, look at this."

As he spoke, he handed a newspaper to Cao Bin.

Cao Bin took a closer look and scolded:

"The newspaper office opened to Xiangyang so quickly? Why are you all scolding me? ”

This newspaper almost copied the model of the "Da Song Daily", with a patchwork of long stories in the front and a discussion of facts in the back.

That's just the story, mixed with the emperor's jokes to attract people.

The part that discusses the facts later is to introduce Cao Bin's life and the good things he has done, without mentioning a word.

In the later summary, he also sympathized with the people of Xiangzhou.

Although there is no real comment, the meaning is not much different, that is, Xiangzhou met Cao Bin, the Taishou, and it was the blood mold that had fallen for eight lifetimes.

The edge ball technique is very proficient.

Du Siniang took the newspaper and glanced at it, and said angrily:

"This is to slander the court officials, why don't you arrest them."

She has the imperial court's decree in her body, and she also has a certain right to speak to outsiders.

Wang Tongju smiled bitterly: "They said that this article did not fabricate facts, nor did they comment indiscriminately, and the newspaper was also reviewed by the imperial court. ”

Cao Bin sneered: "They learn quite quickly,"

Wang Tongju hurriedly reminded: "Uncle should not be underestimated, if your official reputation is damaged, you will be impeached if you don't get it right." ”

Cao Bin touched his chin and said, "Benjue knows ......"

He was actually wondering who was secretly doing this.

But there are not many people who dare to go against him with such fanfare, and he can roughly guess it.

Bao Mian couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Cao, what should we do now?" ”

Cao Bin said helplessly: "It's easy to talk about the newspaper, but it's a bit tiring to govern the place!" ”

Nowadays, newspapers only have two pages, which is the most rudimentary mode, and you can beat each other with a little material.

He also has no experience in governing places.

Hearing this, Wang Tongju laughed with him:

"Knowing that the uncle is afraid of being tired, those of us who are subordinates are naturally willing to share the labor."

"The main problem now is the lack of money, whether it is the state government or the people, if only the uncle could get more money."

He is not afraid of being tired, and he wants to have more power, but this Uncle Cao is very willing to let go of power, so the cooperation between the two is particularly pleasant.

Hearing this, Bao Mian couldn't help but glance at him, if he had enough silver, he could do his job.

Cao Bin didn't mind, just nodded and said, "That's good, Benjue will think of a way!" ”

Seeing this, Wang Tongju and the two were about to leave, Cao Bin remembered something, and hurriedly stopped them and said:

"Benjue plans to build a Zhuangzi, can Wang Tong judge help me find some people first?"

Before Wang Tongju could react, Bao Mian had already given a thumbs up:

"Uncle Cao really sacrificed himself for the public, in order to let the people settle down, he actually wanted to pay for his own money to build a useless Zhuangzi, is this considered work for relief?"

Wang Tongju also suddenly realized, and said movingly: "Uncle, for the sake of the people, let you break the bank." ”

Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, and glanced at Bao Mian with great relief, feeling that this young man was very promising.

Du Siniang in the back rolled her eyes, if she hadn't discussed this topic just now, she would have been moved.

But thinking that this Zhuangzi was built for himself, my heart warmed again.

Wang Tong judged that a little problem had been solved, and hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot:

"It doesn't take many people to build Zhuangzi alone, and it's not a long-term solution, what else can Uncle do?"

Cao Bin looked at the gentle Han River in front of him, and said in his heart: "Why don't you build a port?" The largest port in the world. ”

Xiangyang is located in the center of the Great Song Dynasty, west of Bashu, east of Wuyue, north into Jingluo, convenient transportation, if not to play her advantages is a pity?

In his opinion, the level of commerce is far from reaching its limit.

Wang Tongju hurriedly shook his head and said:

"Uncle can't, there are merchants from all walks of life in Xiangyang now, and the port is enough, no matter how big it is, it is idle, and it just consumes manpower."

"Besides, we don't have so much money, even if Uncle is rich, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch it."

Hearing this, Cao Bin glanced at him with some disgust, what do you think of beautiful things?

I went crazy to pay for it myself, and it wasn't mine to build the port, so I was really wronged.

However, he didn't bother to explain, just waved his hand and said: "Benjue has already decided, although you recruit people, I will have a reason at that time." ”

Wang Tongju was helpless, so he could only look up at Bao Mian with a touched face for a long time, and then left.

At this time, in a restaurant in Xiangyang City.

The relaxing and melodious sound of the zither fills the air, blocking out the noisy cries outside the window.

"Brother Cai, we won't have an accident if we write like this, right? That Cao Bin is not easy to mess with. ”

A scholar asked Cai Xiao, who was in the right position.

At this time, Cai Xiao was a little haggard, and there was no longer the previous arrogance in his eyes, but more decadence and ruthlessness.

He was originally exiled by Bao Zheng, but a few days ago, Cai Jing managed to get him back.

As soon as he was free, he chased Cao Bin to Xiangyang.

Hearing the scholar's words, he chuckled and said:

"Brother Wang, you are also known as a genius, do you only pay attention to the two books at home, and you don't even know what a newspaper is?"

"I advise you to go out for a walk more, otherwise you will all become dirt buns."

"This level of commentary, the imperial court is recognized......"

As he spoke, he had an inexplicable sense of superiority.

Wang Gongzi was a little depressed and said: "For people like Cao Bin, is he afraid of public opinion?" I've always felt that your approach is a bit of a stretch. ”

Cai Xiao smiled:

"Brother Wang has never seen the chaos in Bianjing at the beginning, and it is normal to underestimate the newspaper, but Cai once stirred up the storm with a tabloid and knows its power."

"Cai was only a bad move, and Cao Bin ruined his official career, this time I learned a lesson and will never lose to Cao Bin again."

As he spoke, he said disdainfully:

"Cao Bin should be the governor? Does he have what it takes? Even if he wasn't a gentleman, he was just a martial artist. ”

"When the time comes, Xiangzhou will only become more and more chaotic!"

"This is the natural handle, with your writing and my father's cooperation, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around......."
