Chapter Eighty-Five: Trial? Cao Pi's choice.

Two days later.

Cao Pi has always been determined that his father sent himself to the disaster area in order to distribute himself.

Although I don't understand what I did wrong, at this time, the tiger and leopard ride is ready, and after a period of training, I will go to Xiliang, which is a sure fact.

But at this juncture, he let himself come to disaster relief and help the people farm.

What Cao Pi didn't expect was that Cao Zhi was also "assigned".

It's just that the two are not in the same place, but each of them is assigned to a disaster area.

No matter how stupid Cao Pi was, he understood what Cao Cao meant.

If you're alone, you're making a mistake.

But now, together with Cao Zhi, he was assigned to disaster relief.

Obviously, this is not a distribution, but a test!

Cao Pi suddenly cheered up his spirit.

After all, this is compared to Cao Zhi.

Cao Pi didn't want to be surpassed by Cao Zhi, which affected his status in his father's heart.

In the past few days, Cao Pi has been in contact with Sima Yi, and Sima Yi has told Cao Pi that the prime minister's mind at this time is no longer just the prime minister.

It is estimated that after beating Xiliang, he will be king.

After all, from the perspective of the people, Cao Cao actually solved such a big problem of food and completely won the hearts of the people.

Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and in this way all the people will return to their hearts, and there will be a basis for calling him king.

This point is far inferior to Yuan Shu, if Cao Cao is the king, I am afraid that there will be very few people who oppose it.

After all, being called a king is not an emperor, calling an emperor belongs to completely overthrowing the Han Dynasty, and being called a king is to become a hereditary prince and a righteous prince, and in some places you can overstep your authority and not obey the command of the Han Dynasty.

But it was only a matter of time before he became emperor.

If the Sun-Liu coalition army was completely defeated and there was no opponent in the Central Plains, Cao Cao would definitely be the emperor.

This is Sima Yi's original words, Cao Pi is convinced of Sima Yi's ability, and he must become the son of the world.

Now Cao Zhi is the only one who has the ability to compete with Cao Pi.

But Cao Zhi is deeply liked by Cao Cao, which is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see, and Cao Pi is no exception.

Therefore, Cao Pi has been fighting with Cao Zhiming for so long.

Cao Zhi was assisted by Yang Xiu, and Cao Pi was assisted by Sima Yi.

Yang Xiu's talent is not inferior to Sima Yi, and even slightly better.

However, Yang Xiu was only open and was not treated well by Cao Cao, so Cao Pi may not have a chance to defeat Yang Xiu.

And this disaster relief can be regarded as a real struggle between the two with Cao Cao's permission.

In this battle, Cao Pi decided that he could not lose.

"Mr. Cheng, is there anything I can do?"

As soon as he arrived at the disaster area, Cao Pi quickly asked Cheng Yu.

But Cheng Yu is not stupid, he can see at a glance that Cao Pi is trying to force himself on his ship, so naturally he will not be fooled, and said vaguely:

"Gongzi followed the disaster relief team to distribute food and help the people to pawn farmers, and the officials still have something to do, so I will not send it far away."

With that, Cheng Yu turned around and left.

Cao Pi was left alone in the wind.

However, Cao Pi was helpless.

Most of the people in this military camp are oriented to Cao Cao, and Cao Pi knows this very well.

Especially Cheng Yu and Jia Xu, who have been following their father for many years, are all human spirits, and they will definitely not help themselves.

Cao Pi decided to be pragmatic and do things well steadily.

Therefore, Cao Pi directly led 300 people to the bustling downtown of the previous county town to cook porridge for disaster relief.

This is not a brisk life, even if Cao Pi brought 300 people, and countless grains and grasses, they were in short supply.

"The government has sent food, everyone come and get it!"

"It's Prime Minister Cao's grain, it's Prime Minister Cao's food!"

"I heard that Prime Minister Cao Cheng planted immortal food, it must be easy to get hungry, great, great!"

The people here have been hungry for too long, and Cao Pi has been doing it himself for only an hour, and he is almost exhausted.

This is the first time Cao Pi feels so tired from dinner.

Cao Pi was really a little physically exhausted, so he simply sent another 200 people to put the grain, and he brought another 300 people, wanting to go to the people's farmland to see if he could plant the immortal grain.

However, the extent of this drought is far beyond Cao Pi's imagination.

The land has dried up, the soil is cracked, there is no grass, and even digging with a shovel may not be able to dig a hole.

In this case, let alone growing food, you can't even grow weeds!

Cao Pi made a mistake this time.

What he has on hand is all immortal grain seeds, if it is easily wasted, then wouldn't my father be to blame?

So, Cao Pi took his soldiers to inspect the farmland door to door.

But this year's drought is so severe that the farmland in the whole city is basically like this, and there is no way to start.

Cao Cao did not inform Cao Pi of the wonders of this immortal grain, so Cao Pi treated it as an ordinary seed.

"No way, turn over the soil!"

After searching for a day, there was no harvest at all, which made Cao Pi suddenly understand that he would not be able to find suitable land if he searched so blindly.

The so-called do-it-yourself abundance of food and clothing.

Since there is no water in the great drought, the dry land should be forcibly irrigated with water, and a few farmlands should be planted first.

If the first example is successful, it's never too late to do the same.

When the soldiers learned about it, they were directly in trouble.

How should this soil be turned?

Moreover, it will take a long time for the water to be transported, and it will take at least three days to do so.

Cao Pi didn't care about this, and said:

"If you don't have enough manpower, you can go to the barracks again, but not more than eight hundred."

"Just a piece of farmland, I will give you five days to wait, and after five days, I will see that these dozen acres of land are planted with immortal grain."

The soldiers breathed a long sigh of relief when they heard this.

If you have five days, it's not that hard.

Not to mention 800 people, even the first 300 people can easily turn over these lands and plant food.

The most time-consuming thing is the delivery of water, but with manpower, it is not a problem at all.

After the order was completed, the day passed, and Cao Zhi came to Sima Yi's camp in a happy mood and told him what he had done.

After all, Sima Yi still has to avoid suspicion.

He and Yang Xiu are not the same, Yang Xiu himself is Cao Zhi's companion, and it is very common for the two to hang out together, not to mention that the Yang family has a lot of merits, it is a big clan, and he is not afraid of being talked about.

But Sima Yi can't.

First of all, if Sima Yi and Cao Pi interact with each other, it is a party for personal gain, which is a big taboo, and if it is not done well, it will be investigated and punished by the prime minister.

The two can only meet so secretly.

Hearing what Cao Pi said, Sima Yi's beard was about to crooked:

"Childe, did you really do that?"

"That's nature."

"Childe, you ...... This is extremely inappropriate! ”
