Chapter 210 Brother, You Have to Work Hard

Chapter 211 Brother, You Have to Work Hard

Cao Chong didn't understand the information sent by the school affairs office, so he had to let the school affairs office continue to inquire, while he kept his eyes on the construction site of Luoyang New City.

The construction of Luoyang New City is proceeding normally, but Cao Chong feels that if the mastermind behind the scenes has a backup, he should act soon.

Because the weather is getting colder every day, it is estimated that it will freeze in half a month, and the peasants should go home by then. According to the regulations of the imperial court, all construction projects will be stopped when it snows, and the peasants will have a number of days to serve corvee.

If the mastermind behind the scenes doesn't take advantage of the last half month to make a move, it will be regarded as giving up.

But until the weather froze, everything was normal on the construction site, which greatly exceeded Cao Chong's expectations.

"Did you just give up like this?" Cao Chong wondered as he looked at the construction site, which was getting less and less crowded day by day.

"Or is he going to play tricks on the remaining craftsmen?"

The civilian husbands enlisted by the government have expired, and they will go home separately, but Cao Chong himself has recruited more than 1000 craftsmen and helpers.

Not all projects cannot be started in winter, Cao Chong is still recruiting people!
It's pitiful to say that manpower is really worthless these days. Cao Chong's condition for recruiting workers is two catties of coarse grain or equivalent linen per day, plus three meals a day.

It’s not that Cao Chong has a dark heart. In this day and age, farmers take advantage of the winter slack to help others. The main family usually only pays for two meals, and rarely gives two catties of grain. meal.

All the peasants on the construction site have left, and the next batch of peasants will have to wait until next year's spring plowing.

Cao Chong listened to some reports from the school administration, but was still at a loss.

It is true that the common people gathered together to rob, but they did not find the phenomenon that the local government and the gentry forced the common people to death. The thing is so weird.

But since Luoyang is fine, Cao Chong doesn't care about it, he is going back to Xudu now.

Lao Cao has led his troops back to Xudu, and sent a letter to Cao Chong to go back too.

At the same time, Cao Pi is also preparing to return to Xudu. Cao Zhi has been with Lao Cao and has already arrived in Xudu. When the time comes, the three brothers will gather in Xudu.

By the way, Cao Pi will definitely be rewarded by the court when he goes back this time. After all, he personally led the troops to easily and smoothly wiped out the rebellion of Tian Yin and Su Bo.

Cao Chong couldn't help but maliciously guess whether he directed and acted everything himself?

After thinking about it, I think it is impossible. Cao Pi is not so bold, nor is he so stupid. If he directs and acts on his own, it is easy to reveal his secrets.

Cao Chong is going to bring Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, and Wen Jiao all back to Xudu. Diao Chan and Zhen Mi say they will follow without them, but Wen Jiao refuses to agree.

"I want to be on duty at the household department!" Wen Jiaomei glared at Cao Chong.

Cao Chong had a headache for a while, he had already realized that there was something wrong with Wen Jiao.

At the beginning, Wenjiao was unwilling to accept the official position of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but later she fell in love with this position, and became more and more workaholic.

"There is no important business in winter, just let Liu Ba stay here."

Wen Jiao was still unwilling.

Could it be that the official hat also has a strong attraction to beauties like Wen Jiao, or is she inherently a workaholic?
This is not what I want to see!Cao Chong wanted to cry but had no tears.

"You see, you've been busy for more than half a year, and it's time for you to take a break. Back then, I didn't have enough people around me. I forced you to accept this official position. I've always been very sorry. Now that the household department is operating normally, you should also take a break and relax. Relax." Cao Chong persuaded.

"I can't bear to look at your hard work every day. It just so happens that I have nothing to do after returning to Xudu this time. I will take you around and try all the delicious and interesting things in Xudu. Count me as a thank you for your kindness." Half a year of hard work."

"Then will I still be the secretary of the household department?" Wen Jiao asked.

"..." Cao Chong was immediately confused.

On the one hand, Cao Chong still wanted Wen Jiao to keep an eye on the household department. This position was too important and the financial power was too sensitive.

On the other hand, he really doesn't want Wen Jiao to become a workaholic, and it's even more terrifying to become an official fan. Cao Chong has a lot of thoughts about this beautiful woman!
She had always planned to turn her into her own woman, but now something seemed wrong, Wen Jiao seemed to be avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally.

Self-inflicted can't live!
Cao Chong began to regret letting Wenjiao be the Minister of the Household Department. If this made the beautiful women around him fly away, it would be a big loss!

"Well, are you still willing to be the secretary of the household department? I think it was good for you to be my secretary before, why don't you come back and be my secretary?"

Cao Chong still felt that it was more reliable to keep the beauty by his side.

"The Secretary of the Household Department is more comfortable than being your secretary. I'd better be the Minister of the Household Department." Wen Jiao said flatly.

"Ah! Wenjiao, when I became my secretary, I didn't restrict you, did I? Why are you uncomfortable?"

Cao Chong was dumbfounded, "And it's much easier than the Minister of the Household Department. You are a weak woman who has been working hard with paperwork. After a long time, your body will not be able to bear it. It is better to be a secretary."

Cao Chong really regrets it, it seems that Wen Jiao really wants to be an official!

"Also, if you don't want to be a secretary, you can just find something you like to do. If you don't, you can play happily every day. I really don't want to see you working hard every day. .”

"You made me a waste of nothing?" Wen Jiao glared at him.

"Who said that you become a freelancer? You can choose what you like, as long as you don't work as hard as you are now. Besides, I can't afford it..."

"It's fine to return to Xudu, but the Hubu Shangshu is still mine!"

Seeing that he was about to digress, Wen Jiao interrupted him and went out by herself.

Self-inflicted!Cao Chong looked up to the sky and sighed!
"Husband doesn't want Sister Wenjiao to continue to be an official?" Diao Chan asked in a low voice as she massaged her shoulder.

After Wen Jiao left, she and Zhen Mi went into the house to accompany Cao Chong.

"I just don't want to see her so tired all day long."

"Brother, stop pretending, I know what you're thinking!" Zhen Mi teased very bluntly.

"However, you were the one who asked her to be the secretary of the household department, and now you want to take her to your side... Hehe, brother, you have to work hard!"

Zhen Mi didn't give a chance to explain at all.

Seeing Diao Chan also watching the scene with a smile on his face, Cao Chong thick-skinned and shamelessly acquiesced.

"Diao Chan is good! Help your husband find a way? You see, Wen Jiao is busy all day now. If this continues, a big beauty will be swallowed up by the desk."

This is no longer a matter of thick skin, if you meet other women, you should slap someone in the face.

"Sister Wenjiao is very assertive, and there is nothing I can do about it."

"Brother, you should figure it out on your own, Diao Chan, let's go." The two beauties left.

The next day, Cao Chong rushed to Xudu with the three beauties, Xia Houba, Lu Xun, and Cao Yan.

Hearing news from Xudu on the way made Cao Chong feel enlightened.
