Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 215

Chapter 216

For some reason, Yang Biao felt that he might be tricked by the kid in front of him!

"Don't be happy first, let's think about how to build the city first. If something goes wrong, your father..."

Yang Biao said and pushed Cao Chong to Lao Cao.

In this way, the matter of rebuilding Luoyang was settled like this. Huang Kui, Shi Sun Meng and other people who wanted to oppose, after seeing Yang Biao's words, did not dare to say a word.

Cao Chong was carried out of the main hall by the old Cao and thrown into the carriage.

"Why is that so?" Lao Cao gritted his teeth and asked, his eyes were fierce!

Cao Chong said with an aggrieved face: "Father, if you don't help me in the main hall, Taiwei Yang kindly helps me..."

"What does he mean by kindness helping you?"

Lao Cao raised his hand to hit someone, but he was afraid that he would kill his son with a slap!

Yang Biao is indeed not helping Cao Chong, but the two-year tax and manpower reconstruction of Luoyang in that county, this cheap fool will not take advantage of it, as for the 30-year commercial tax?

Who wants to let the horse run away and not graze the horse?
How many commercial taxes did Luoyang have in its heyday?What's more, Luoyang is now in ruins. Who knows when it will take to restore the prosperity of the past?
Lao Cao really didn't want to turn against Yang Biao in court, mainly because Cao Chong proposed everything on his own initiative, whether Yang Biao forced him, so Lao Cao watched Cao Chong and Yang Biao make a two-year contract.

"Hmph! There are basically no people in the old city of Luoyang, but how many people are there in the two newly merged counties? It would be great if you can build the city walls in two years!"

"It's up to the father to help the child!"

"Aren't you quite capable? I want you to help me!"

"Nothing else, as long as the prime minister's mansion orders the refugees from around Luoyang to come to Luoyang, there are still quite a few refugees and escapees," Cao Chong said.

"You want to rely on the manpower of those fleeing households and refugees? What do you use to support them? Don't think about the idea of ​​the prime minister's office! Also, recruiting refugees and enriching the population is the achievement of the local officials. You don't need any orders, as long as you have the ability to support them. "

"There is no other way. I plan to recruit refugees to farm while building the city. There is still a lot of vacant land in Luoyang. Especially in the old city, the people have basically run away. The efficiency of the Quyuan plow is much higher than that of the previous plow."

"I have calculated that each person is one and a half catties a day, and 1 people only need [-] shi in eight months. This year's grain tax in Luoyang is left by Sima Ping and his son. I will use the money to buy some more. It should be enough. It only needs to be collected for one season. Food is fine."

Cao Chong explained clearly to Lao Cao one by one, and asked Lao Cao to help him in many places. Among other things, food is not so easy to buy these days.

After hearing Cao Chong's plan, Lao Cao didn't take it seriously. He didn't think Cao Chong could do it, but he didn't object. Can he go back on what he promised in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?

It's not a bad thing to temper him!
Lao Cao just doesn't understand why Cao Chong wants to rebuild Luoyang City at all costs
"The calculation is exquisite. I'm afraid it will be difficult to do what you want. Do you know why someone stopped you from rebuilding Luoyang City this time?"

"The boy is about to ask his father to help me solve my doubts. I really don't know why Huang Kui and Liu Zhen are like this? The reconstruction of Luoyang has nothing to do with them."

Cao Chong was really confused. The rebuilding of Luoyang City didn't seem to violate anyone's interests, but someone stopped him. Could it be that it was just to make things difficult for the young master?

"Hmph! No one instructed, just a few of them, they don't have the guts!" Lao Cao snorted coldly.

"Then who instructed them?"

"It's the fault of my own heat, I think for myself! Aren't you usually very clever?"

Tch, so you don't know, so you still teach me?

"Father, I'm afraid this incident is not over yet. Those who jumped out today are all insignificant clowns. It seems that it was a temporary idea to deal with the child. I think it will be difficult for the father in the future!"

When we arrived at the prime minister's mansion, Cao Chong said to Lao Cao when we parted.

"Do you still need to remind me to be a father? Just take care of yourself! That old man Yang Biao may be so happy now!"

Cao Chong didn't know that Yang Biaogao was unhappy, but Liu Zhen, Huang Kui and others must be very depressed.

In a mansion in Xudu, Liu Zhen and others are gathering to discuss what happened in the court.

"What's wrong with Taiwei Yang today? Doesn't he hate Cao Cao very much?" Huang Kui asked puzzled.

"Who knows what he thinks? He usually doesn't go to court at all."

"How can you think about it, Cao Chong promised to use the power of a county to rebuild Luoyang City in two years, how good is this for the court?"

"He just talks nonsense, and the Taiwei also believes it? It's impossible!"

"Stop talking about this, what should we do now?" Shi Sunmeng asked.

"What should we do? Who dares to object to what the old Taiwei has decided? Are we to blame?"

"Actually, I don't understand. There is no harm in rebuilding Luoyang. Why did they stop it? And let us offend the Cao family and his son."

"Hmph! What good things can Cao's father and son do, they don't necessarily hold back some bad tricks! Look at the present, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and His Majesty the emperor are all just for show, he is no better than Dong Zhuo!" Huang Kui said bitterly. .

"Hush! Shut up, and be careful not to speak out!"

Huang Kui and others talked and cursed Cao and his son aside, Cao Chongzheng, Fazheng, Lu Xun and others happily ate hot pot.

To be precise, only Cao Chong ate happily, and the others had no appetite.

"Young master, you are reckless, why did you agree to Taiwei Yang? With the strength of Luoyang County, we can't build Luoyang City in two years." Xia Houba couldn't help but said.

"It was Yang Biao who promised me, not me. Who else told you that we can't finish it in two years? I don't think it will take two years."

"Young master, the surrounding counties recruited so many peasants this time. It took them more than two months to lay the foundation of the city wall. There will not be so many people available for use in the future." Cao Yan said.

"I won't tell you so much now, but tell you to send someone to keep an eye on Liu Zhen, Huang Kui and the others. Are you done?"

"It's done, are they all at Huang Kui's house now?"

"It's not about where they are, or who they are contacting. These are just clowns. The key is to find the mastermind behind it. I feel that this time it's the same person who instigated the rogues to pretend to be civilian husbands." Cao Chong said.

"Why do you think we can't build Luoyang City well?" Cao Chong looked at Fazheng, Lu Xun, and Zhou Buqi and asked.

"Young master, this is really difficult."

"Cut! You have no confidence in the young master!"

"In the past few days, I have been relaxing in Xudu, and I will be busy when I return to Luoyang in a few days! Fazheng, you should also go to Luoyang with us this time!"

"Ah! Back in winter!" Xia Houba shouted.

"Nonsense! The young master is now the Luoyang order, can he leave Luoyang for a long time?" Cao Chong rolled his eyes.

"No, I thought we would go back after the Chinese New Year!" Xia Houba was a little unhappy.

"What are you thinking? It's still more than a month before Chinese New Year!"

"I always feel that those people in the court are still making big moves in the past few days. Let's see what they are going to do? Let's go back to Luoyang when the truth comes out." Cao Chong touched his chin and said.
