Chapter 680: Give him a chance, he won't be useful
Seeing that Yang Ling was busy with mud, Dian Wei was suddenly happy,
"Big brother, why did you play with pee and mud?"
"Do you want my grandson to come over with you?"
Xu Chu also said with a smile.
Yang Ling glanced at them angrily and beckoned,
"You're here just in time, hurry up and get to work!"
"It's really unseemly to behave like this!"
"The second brother is right, eldest brother, you better play by yourself."
Dian Wei and Xu Chu immediately shook their heads.
Joke.
They are all the founding heroes of Cao Wei, and their status is grand, how can they pee and mud?
If outsiders see it, they will lose face.
"Okay, it's undignified, isn't it?"
Yang Ling squinted at them and said lazily,
"Then from today onwards, you will not come to my house again to eat!"
As soon as his words landed, he saw Dian Wei and Xu Chu rolling up their sleeves and rushing over!
"We're just joking with the eldest brother!"
"That's it, eldest brother, you can rest first, just leave it to us!"
The two of them sneered, took the tools in Yang Ling's hand, and got up with the mud like him.
After a while, the cement was almost alive by the two of them.
Seeing this situation, Yang Ling called a few more subordinates and asked them to use the stone bricks prepared in advance to start building the wall with this cement.
Taking advantage of the efforts of the subordinates to build the wall and wait for the cement to dry, Yang Ling looked at Dong Zhao on the side,
"Da Si Nong (Dong Zhao's official position), you came in a hurry, is there anything important?"
Dong Zhao slapped his forehead, and then remembered that he had something to report.
"Back to His Royal Highness King Qi, the ministers have two things to report."
"The first thing is that the taxes in Jizhou and Xuzhou have come out in the past six months."
"Oh? Seeing Da Si Nong so excited, it must be a good result, right? ”
Yang Ling said with a smile.
"It's not just good, it's very good!"
Dong Zhao couldn't suppress the excitement on his face,
"The tax collected this time is three times that of previous years!"
When Yang Ling heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
Compared with other states, whether it is Xuzhou or Jizhou, they are relatively rich.
Cao Wei was also very early on, and implemented a new policy to encourage land reclamation in Erzhou.
Yang Ling originally thought that after this paving into the mu, it would be able to double at most, but he didn't expect it to increase by two times!
This really surprised him!
It seems that he still underestimated these scholars, but fortunately, he implemented the policy of apportioning the land into the mu in time.
Otherwise, if the Shi clan continues to develop, I am afraid that it will once again threaten Cao Wei's rule!
"In this case, it is necessary for us to promote the policy of spreading the land into the mu nationwide!"
Zhao Yun on the side nodded heavily.
"Zilong is right, Da Sima, you go back and go to Situ and Sikong to draw up a charter on this matter!"
Yang Ling commanded.
Just in Xu and Hebei Prefectures, the implementation of apportionment into mu can increase taxes by two times!
If you change to rich places such as Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Jingzhou, I am afraid that there will be a lot more!
"Command!"
"Is there anything else to do besides this?"
"Didn't His Highness order someone to inform Sun Yuan, the Taishou of Liaodong, and let him enter the Hajj to see him?"
"Yes, he's here?"
"Nope!"
Dong Zhao shook his head,
"Not only did he not come, but he claimed in the letter that he was infected with the wind and cold and could not go far!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yun sneered,
"Big brother, this kid Gongsun Yuan really doesn't know whether he lives or dies, it seems that we are going to send troops to fight him!"
Yang Ling bowed slightly, and a sneer appeared on his face.
There is no shortage of smart people in this world, but there is no shortage of fools like Gongsun Yuan!
If he is unified by Cao Wei today, if Gongsun Yuan knows each other and takes the initiative to surrender, he will not embarrass him.
But he is proud of the long distance, and he has a self-respecting army, and he really doesn't know whether he lives or dies!
Anyway, if he doesn't use a chance, then you can't blame me!
Thinking of this, Yang Ling said in a deep voice,
"Zhong Gong, immediately send someone to inform Shi Zai and Boyo to call over!"
Yang Ling rushed to Biqiu Jian on the side and beckoned.
Biqiu Jian immediately took the order and left, and it didn't take long for Deng Ai and Jiang Wei to come together.
"I've seen it...... Teacher! ”
After saluting Yang Ling, Jiang Wei couldn't wait to say,
"Teacher, but there's a reply from Liaodong?"
"Yes, Gongsun Yuan was extremely arrogant, and replied that he was unwell and did not want to come to Beijing."
Yang Ling nodded.
"It seems that this guy is determined to resist the imperial court, since this is the case, let him know that I am the wrath of Great Wei!"
Jiang Wei said coldly.
"You go to prepare immediately, and at the beginning of next month, the division will go to Liaodong with you!"
"Students take orders!"
After explaining the truth, everyone started chatting again.
After lunch, seeing that the time was almost up, Yang Ling led everyone to the cement wall.
"Big brother, this so-called cement doesn't look very good."
Looking at the dusty cement wall, Dian Wei was a little disapproving.
"You can't see anything just by looking at it, you might as well try how hard it is."
Yang Ling said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll try!"
Xu Chu stood up unyieldingly.
He first took off a sledgehammer from the weapon rack in the mansion and slowly walked to the cement wall.
"Hey!"
Xu Chu burst into a shout, raised a sledgehammer, and slammed it on the cement wall!
"Boom!"
I only heard a muffled sound, and there was only one more white spot on the cement wall, and other than that, it didn't move at all!
On the contrary, Xu Chu's hands were numb, and he involuntarily took a step back!
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
You must know that Xu Chu was famous for his huge strength back then, and he could drag the oxtail with one hand and go retrograde for more than 100 steps!
Although he is now old, in the eyes of everyone, this cement wall can't withstand his hammer!
But I didn't expect the cement wall to be so strong!
Xu Chu felt that he had lost face in front of everyone, and he was immediately furious, raised the sledgehammer again, and smashed it on the cement wall frantically.
After this series of attacks, the cement wall was loosened, and debris was constantly smashed down!
It wasn't until he was tired and out of breath that he had no more strength that Xu Chu stopped.
Everyone looked carefully, and saw that the cement wall was already full of potholes.
But Rao is like this, and it also shocked everyone!
Just Xu Chu's series of attacks just now, if you were a human, I am afraid that you would have been smashed into a pulp!
However, although the concrete wall is damaged, it still stands.
It's astoundingly hard!
"If this thing is used to build a house, even if it is windy and rainy, I am afraid that it will not collapse for decades!"
Dong Zhao couldn't help but sigh.
"It's small, Da Si Nong's vision is too small!"
Yang Ling smiled, pointed to the ground and said,
"Lone plans to use this to build roads across the country!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up!
Most of the roads in the world were mainly dirt roads.
