Chapter 107: Decapitated Rice

"Hahaha~"

"Yuan Kai!!"

When Cao Chao laughed and walked out quickly to see Du Yu, he really had the demeanor of Emperor Wu at the beginning.

That every move, even his eyes and face, that kind of sincerity to the virtuous ministers, resembled Emperor Taizu.

Du pre-bowed to see him, but was helped up by Cao Chao.

Cao Chao looked Du Yu in front of him up and down, and then said to Zhang Hua on the side: "Luoyang people all talk about the beauty of the wall, but I know that there is no one like Du Yuan Kaimei!" ”

Du Yu was shocked and hurriedly thanked him.

Zhang Hua said with a smile: "This is because the beauty of what people in the world say lies in appearance, and the beauty that Your Majesty says lies in talent!" ”

Cao Chao laughed.

Cao Chao received Du Yu in the West Hall, which is a great grace, after all, this is Cao Chao's own private territory, only the closest friends and close will be met in the West Hall, otherwise it is in the East Hall.

Cao Chao asked Zhang Wen to get more delicious food, which was regarded as a banquet for Du Yu.

This time, the cash-for-work project was completed very well.

He himself was in charge of the projects in Ki County, and at the same time, he was also directing major projects in various places.

In the past year or so, the Central Plains, which had suffered great damage, has been greatly restored, and the places are no longer in ruins and dilapidated roads.

I don't dare to say how well it has been governed, at least it looks like a prosperous era, the roads are flat, the city is intact, and the water conservancy project is still under construction.

Cao Chao's prosperous age can be regarded as having a shell, so that it will not be seen through at a glance.

Although this is just an illusion, this is also a huge breakthrough for Cao Chao.

The shattered world was mended in his hands.

Cao Chao didn't ask about those big things, but asked about some small things, such as asking about Du's personal physical condition and asking about his family.

Du Yu was very moved, and when he finished talking about private matters, Cao Chao asked him about official affairs.

Du Yu hurriedly reported about the projects in various places.

In fact, the best completion of this project is Bashu.

Deng Ai is actually very good at farming, and he has a conquest bonus for the locals, and when the two are combined, his affairs in Bashu are very smooth, and the Hanzhong region, which was most damaged by the fighting, has been repaired well by him.

As for Yizhou and other areas, it is because of large-scale water conservancy construction, and there is a vague appearance beyond the Liu Chan period.

Of course, the Central Plains are not bad, and the damage suffered in these places began to be repaired very early.

And the worst result is Wu Di.

Mainly because Wu Di is now beaten too badly, Wang Ji's fighting in Jingnan and other places, as well as Biqiu Jian's attack, plus the original several major conscriptions of the Wu people, and the later migration.

In short, the results are not very obvious.

Cao Chao's expression was always very calm, he was never happy to hear that the results in several areas were excellent, and he was not disappointed when he heard that the results in several areas were not good.

After summarizing the situation in various places, Cao Chaofang said: "Conscription is not a good thing. ”

"Although the world is calm, if we frequently use forced labor to drive the people everywhere to repair and build, even if there will be great results in the future, it will have a bad impact."

"Yuan Kai, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, must keep this matter in mind."

"We can't blindly engage in projects, and if we can't send them out, we don't have to send them more, and if we have to send them, we can't delay the farming."

Du Yu hurriedly said yes.

Cao Chao said again: "As for this generation of relief, since I was exempted from oral calculations, there are a lot fewer people in need of temples in various places, especially in the border areas, this matter will not last for a few years. ”

"If the places can reach the point where they are now, it has already exceeded my expectations, and there is no need to forcibly leave those people behind in order to achieve better results."

Du pre said yes again.

Cao Chao is not greedy for work.

Although the construction of various localities sounds like a very good political achievement, there is a lot of experience in history as to what will happen if we go all out to carry out construction just after the world has been pacified

After Du Yu discussed many projects with Cao Chao, he said: "Your Majesty, there is one thing that the minister still wants to say. ”

"Say it."

"It's time for the palace to be expanded."

"Oh?"

Cao Chao looked at Du Pre in surprise, and Du Pre said seriously: "Your Majesty is unified and majestic, so you should follow the style of Shu and Wu and add palaces in the palace to set off your great cause." ”

"Huh?"

Cao Chao frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Now is not the time, let's discuss this matter later." ”

Du Yu had just come to Luoyang, and he had not rested, and after saying goodbye to Cao Chao, he went home.

Another big stone fell to the ground in Cao Chao's heart.

Roads and cities were repaired, the poll tax was successfully waived, and the finances were not collapsed.

Then next, Cao Chao can enter the stage of doing nothing.

After the unification, there will be a period of rapid development of the empire, as long as it is not interrupted by external forces, the world will definitely prosper.

Anshi still has Taikang Shengshi!

At this stage, there is no need for the temple to continue to do more in the place, just be patient.

And Cao Chao can finally shift his attention from domestic to foreign.

Diplomacy and trade routes.

At the beginning, Cao Chao brought in Zhu Ying and Kang Tai, the navigators of Wu State, and the main purpose was for the diplomacy of the South Seas.

The two men had already left Luoyang and headed for Chen Tai's side.

And the next thing they are going to go to the Nanyang countries again in place of the temple and let them come to the court.

But what Cao Chao cares about most is Shazhou's.

Cao Chao decided to send a messenger to Tianzhu.

First open the road to Tianzhu, restore the original Silk Road, and make it unimpeded.

As for the side of Wajima, let's send a general to watch it first, as a blood bag.

In other directions, Great Wei had no enemies and no room to explore.

In the west hall, Cao Chao was talking to Zhang Hua about sending an envoy to trade with the Yueshi people

The sun was shining brightly in the sky.

It was obviously a very hot weather, but Pei Xiu felt a little chilled.

He did not give up, and he was like this only because of what he had to do today.

Because Sun Chu's words were rude and he committed the crime of disrespect, Pei Xiu, the Ministry of Etiquette, wanted to re-regulate this matter.

Pei Xiu sighed helplessly.

Your Majesty has actually been looking for reasons to deal with the Great Clan.

He didn't even care if these people were wronged, all he wanted was an excuse.

With an excuse, he could just do it.

When Pei Xiu came to the Criminal Department and came to the place where Sun Chu was being held, this person was tied to the pillar by Wuhuanda and couldn't move.

And when he saw Pei Xiu, this person suddenly became excited.

Pei Xiu knew this person.

This man is a well-known madman.

"Pei Jun! You're finally here!! ”

Sun Chu struggled, his eyes full of displeasure, and he shouted, "Pei Jun! I have one thing to ask for! ”

Pei Xiu sighed again.

"What's the matter?"

Sun Chu said loudly: "Please help me intercede, change someone to interrogate me, the Wei Shu who is interrogating me now, how low is his background?" Who is he to interrogate me?! I come from a famous family! Such humiliation cannot be suffered! ”

Hearing this, Pei Xiu's eyes darkened.

He felt that this person probably wouldn't be able to get out of prison alive.

Sun Chu's idea looks ridiculous now, but just a few years ago, there was still a considerable market, and most of the children of the big clan had similar ideas.

Historically, when Sun Chu gave Shi Bao the task of joining the army, he thought that he was from a humble background and was not worthy of his service, so he belittled him in various ways, even if he was also a child of a big clan, he would humiliate those who were from other backgrounds.

The first time he saw Shi Bao, he arched his hand at Shi Bao and said: I am here to join your military!

I didn't know that I thought he was here to command Shi Bao, but the two didn't agree, Shi Bao asked Sima Yan to punish him, and An Shi just coaxed a few words.

As a result, this led to the Western Jin Dynasty's military participation completely ignoring the chief officer, and his background became more and more valued.

Pei Xiu originally had a lot to say, but seeing the other party's appearance, he completely dispelled the thoughts in his heart, turned around and left here.

As soon as I walked out of the gate of the Criminal Department, I saw a horse-drawn carriage parked on the side of the road.

A man lifted the curtain and beckoned to him.

Pei Xiu hurriedly stepped forward and got into the carriage.

The person in the car was none other than Zhong Hui.

It is not only Du Yu who has changed, but Zhong Hui has also changed significantly.

His expression looked much more serious than before, and his brow was furrowed, a little intimidating.

Pei Xiu got into the car honestly and sat beside Zhong Hui very well-behaved.

The current bell will not be messed with.

Zhong Hui let the carriage move on, and then said to Pei Xiu: "How is the matter of the title restructuring?" ”

Pei Xiu pursed her lips, "I'm already thinking about it." ”

"It's just something to be done by the Ministry of Rites at the moment"

"Pei Xiu, what you are thinking in your heart, and what you are going to do, I know very well."

Zhong Hui interrupted him, and said calmly: "The period when the big clans colluded with each other and controlled the upper and lower levels has passed, and you are also the smartest among those people, don't make mistakes." ”

"Your Majesty handed over these things to you, in fact, it is carried out by gentle means, if you can't do it, then I have to do it, you know what the consequences will be, right?"

Pei Xiu's face suddenly became solemn, "I know." ”

"Now that you know, then don't stand in the wrong position again, Your Majesty values you very much, although I don't know why, but Your Majesty is willing to believe you, you have failed Your Majesty many times If this time is still the case."

Zhong Hui glanced at Pei Xiu deeply.

"I will personally draft a resolution on your execution, approve it myself, and then lead the Criminal Department to carry it out."

Pei Xiu suddenly became much more energetic.

He raised his head, "Gong Zhong don't worry too much, it's just that the stakes are high, so it has been delayed for some time, how can I live up to Your Majesty's high expectations?!" ”

"That's good, that's good, tomorrow, be sure to take out the relevant documents of the knighthood system and read it while I eat, otherwise, I'll go eat your guillotine meal"
