Cao Zhang's mind was thoughtful, and Xu Shu made a little bit of a move, and he immediately woke up: "What Yuan Zhi said is that I should indeed take the new paper to see my father." Now that you have decided to act in a high-profile manner, it is extremely necessary to win the favor of your father as much as possible. ”

"My father will definitely need a lot of money to conquer the world now, and if I can properly share his worries, he will definitely be happy. In my opinion, it is better to name this new paper Cao Gong paper, and then dedicate two percent of the profits to my father, what do you think? ”

Xu Shu said with satisfaction: "The son is smart, and this move is extremely wise. ”

"If my father agrees with this, then we don't have to keep a low profile, and we can open a large number of paper mills and bookstores with great fanfare, so that the profits will be greatly increased."

"Moreover, with my father's approval, I can also appropriately pull some Han ministers to join our business and tie up their interests."

"With such a generous gift, they will definitely tilt to my side when choosing the son of the world in the future, what does Yuan Zhi think?" Cao Zhangju drew inferences from each other, and immediately thought of a deeper level.

Xu Shu sincerely admired: "Gongzi is really the master of the world, if he can really get the approval of Sikong, and then there is the addition of the minister of the Han family, Gongzi will also have the opportunity in the battle for the son." At that time, even if Cao Pi had the identity of the eldest son, he was afraid that it would be difficult to resist the general trend! ”

"Since Yuan Zhi also thinks that this matter is feasible, then without further ado, I will go to see my father now. As long as he approves of the sale of Cao Gong's paper, we will contact the minister of the Han family immediately! Cao Zhang made a decision immediately.

He instructed his subordinates to change his clothes, then picked up the new roll of paper and hurried out to Sikong Mansion.

When Cao Zhang came to Sikong Mansion, Cao Cao was in the study. There was a bamboo slip in front of him, which was the letter he had just received from Yuan Shao.

The gist of the letter was to the effect that the conditions of Xudu were not good, not as good as Yecheng in Hebei, and it was not suitable for the Son of Heaven to live, so Cao Cao moved the capital to Yecheng and sent Emperor Xian of Han over.

Cao Cao knew in his heart that Yuan Shao saw the benefits brought by his own order to serve the Son of Heaven and wanted to compete with him for the Son of Heaven.

Cao Cao naturally couldn't agree to Yuan Shao, but not long ago, the conquest of Zhang Xiu had just failed, and if he refused Yuan Shao, it would indeed be a very troublesome thing for him to send troops to attack.

Hearing the report from his subordinates that Cao Zhang was coming, his tightly knit brows relaxed a little.

Recently, Cao Zhang's performance has been too eye-catching, and the poems on Yuedan's comments and the desperate protection of him during the hunt have made Cao Cao very pleased.

"Let Ziwen come in!" Cao Cao commanded.

After a while, Cao Zhang strode in and saluted Cao Cao respectfully: "Father! ”

Cao Cao got up and stepped forward and asked with concern, "Ziwen, how are your injuries?" I've been busy with government affairs these days, and I haven't bothered to go up to see you. ”

Cao Zhang hurriedly responded: "Father, don't worry, my injury is fine, I have been recuperating for a few days, and I have recovered most of it." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was relieved: "That's good." You've come just in time, and you've got something for me. ”

Cao Cao said, picked up Yuan Shao's letter on the bookcase, and handed it directly to Cao Zhang.

Of course, he didn't really need Cao Zhang's ideas for him, he just wanted to take this opportunity to examine Cao Zhang's judgment and opinions on the battle situation.

After Cao Zhang took the bamboo slip and read it, he showed a smile: "Yuan Shao wants to move the capital, this is a good thing, promise him!" ”

Cao Cao frowned instantly when he heard Cao Zhang's words, he didn't expect Cao Zhang to answer like this, isn't this giving away his trump card!

"In order to welcome Your Majesty, we worked hard and suffered great losses, and it was not easy to rescue Your Majesty from the clutches of Li Dao and Guo Yan."

"Your Majesty came to Xudu, we built a lot of construction and built a palace, and now it is just stable, but we want to send him to Yecheng to hand over to Yuan Shao, do you want me to bow down to Yuan Shao?" Cao Cao said very unhappily.

"Of course, the son doesn't want his father to bow to Yuan Shao, but if his father directly and sternly refuses, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will immediately unite with Liu Biao and others to launch an attack on Xu Du and rob His Majesty, then the situation will be equally difficult to deal with!" Cao Chang calmly explained to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao listened to Cao Zhang's words and sighed helplessly, what Cao Zhang said was also the result he was most worried about.

"Yuan Shao's current focus is on fighting against Gongsun Chan in Youzhou, Gongsun Chan retreats to Yijing, Yuan Shao must hope to devour him in one bite and take all the four northern states into his arms, so at this time it is actually impossible for him to allocate heavy troops to attack Xu County, at most it is a bluff."

"Father pretended to agree to him to move the capital, but he could use the excuse that His Majesty was not in good health and needed to adjust for a period of time before he could set off, and then let Yuan Shao build a palace in Yecheng first, and wait until the palace was repaired and His Majesty's body was well recuperated, and then move the capital over."

"Yuan Shao is so happy, as long as his father's reply to him is sincere and respectful, he will definitely not have any doubts, and will continue to focus on attacking Gongsun Zhan, and will not rush to urge His Majesty to move the capital."

"We can use this time to recruit troops, recuperate, and strengthen ourselves. By the time Yuan Shao defeats Gongsun Chan and wants to come to pick up His Majesty, we are ready to fight, do you think we will still be afraid of him!? ”

Cao Zhang explained his thoughts to Cao Cao in detail.

After Cao Cao listened to Cao Zhang's words, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded again and again in admiration: "What a plan to delay the army, it not only confused Yuan Shao, but also bought us time for war preparation, it is really a clever plan." ”

Cao Zhang modestly responded: "Father has won the award." ”

Cao Cao restrained his smile, sighed lightly, and poured out his bitterness: "Although your strategy can buy us time to prepare for war. But now Yan and Henan have been plagued by wars and the remnants of moths and thieves for many years, and there is a shortage of materials. ”

Cao Zhang said with a smile: "My son came to see my father today, just to solve the money and food for your military needs. ”

Cao Zhang unfolded the new paper in his hand and asked Cao Cao to inspect it: "This is the new paper I arranged for Sima's family to make, please take a look at it." ”

Cao Cao looked down at the three new papers, which were extremely comfortable in terms of texture, feel, and thickness, far surpassing the current various coarse papers.

Cao Cao stared at Cao Zhang with wide eyes in surprise, and asked in disbelief, "Ziwen, how did you make this new paper?" With such high quality, is the cost also extremely high? ”

"Quite the opposite. Father, we have developed a new process, these new papers are not only of good quality, easy to preserve without ink, but also much cheaper than today's paper, and can be made and sold in batches. ”

"I was going to name this paper Cao Gong Paper and sell it in my father's name. I believe that when Cao Gong paper is launched on the market, it will be in short supply and extremely profitable, and my father's military supply will not be a problem! Cao Zhang said respectfully to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao listened to Cao Zhang's words and smiled with relief.

He didn't expect that Cao Zhang brought him a huge surprise today, first helped him plan how to respond to Yuan Shao, and then took out Cao Gong's paper to help him solve the military problem.
