Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 62

Chapter 62

Poor Cao Pi was accidentally counterattacked by Cao Chong.

Originally Cao Pi wanted to refute, but when he saw Cao Cao's face softened, he knew that his refute was useless.

After all, what Cao Chong said is very reasonable. Everyone likes money to make money. Anyway, money is still there, why not take it out and continue to make money.

Cao Cao is a generation of heroes, and he understands the economic principles better than anyone else.

But Cao Pi always felt unwilling.

The current situation is no longer about face, but about merit.

Today's Xudu has a lot of trade.

The increase in treasury tax revenue and the improvement of the quality of life of the people in Xudu are all real things.

It also means that Cao Chong has achieved results.

In this way, Cao Chong will get the same credit as Cao Pi.

If only Cao Pi gets credit, then Cao Pi is the best of Cao Cao's heirs, but both Cao Chong and him get credit, so the word "most" will be removed.

Cao Pi, who has a small mind, is unwilling to share his achievements with Cao Chong.

It's a pity that he really wanted to fight back, but after several rounds of thinking, he couldn't think of any way to fight back.

Coincidentally, when Cao Pi was in a hurry, Cao Xiu, the tiger and leopard riding guard, walked in. Instead of greeting everyone in the room, he whispered something in Cao Pi's ear.

Cao Pi was overjoyed after hearing this, and asked in a low voice, "Really?"

Cao Xiu made a bow and said, "Really!"

This made Cao Pi even happier, and looked at Cao Chong with a smile.

The corner of Cao Chong's mouth showed a slight curvature. He had guessed that Cao Xiu's coming in must be to inform Cao Pi of the Ordnance Department.

Cao Pi, Cao Pi, you just came back, I didn't want to punish you, but you wanted to send me to your door, so I had no choice but to satisfy you.

"Father, something is wrong." Cao Pi pretended to be flustered, hurried to Cao Cao, and reported to Cao Cao about the Ordnance Department in a low voice.

Cao Cao learned that the face that had just eased was full of anger again.

"Cao Chong! You are so courageous!"

This time Cao Cao called Cao Chong's name directly.

"The truth is that the armor made by the Ordnance Department was used by the tiger and leopard riders during the Eastern Expedition! But you used the iron tools used to make the armor to make some kind of Quyuanli."

"Do you know that this is a matter of losing your head!"

Changing Cao Cao's order privately and delaying the military aircraft, no matter from which point of view, Cao Chong will lose his head.

Now it's Cao Pi's turn to be excited again, "Brother Chong, this time it's really not that big brother deliberately found fault, you really have passed this matter."

"There is no joke in the army. The armor made by the Ordnance Department was used to recruit Sun Quan, but you changed their orders. Even if I want to help you, brother, I can't help you."

Shit, the young master has already seen gloating from your villainous face.

"Prime Minister!" Cao Xiu said to Cao Cao, "Originally, the armor could be finished on time, but after being intervened by the young master, the armor could not be completed on time. This will definitely affect the chances of conquering Sun Quan."

"Please punish the prime minister!"

Cao Xiu was originally Cao Pi's person, so it is not surprising that he helped Cao Pi speak.

Of course, Cao Chong is not fighting alone at this moment, don't forget that there is Man Chong here.

"Prime Minister, I feel that the young master must have his reasons for doing this. Why don't you let the young master explain his reasons." At the critical moment, Man Chong stepped forward.

Cao Cao's face was full of anger, looking at his most distressed youngest son, he didn't know whether to beat or scold him.

If he is really asked to deal with Cao Chong by military law, I am afraid he will not be able to do so.

It happened that Man Chong gave a step down, so Cao Cao was not polite, "Tell me, why you did this, if you can't explain clearly, then don't blame the truth for not talking about the relationship between father and son."

When Cao Pi heard this, he was instantly happy.

But in order to maintain the image of a good man, Cao Pi did not rush to attack Cao Chong this time, but turned a corner.

"Father, brother Chong is still young after all, no matter how wrong he is, it won't kill him. My son thinks that his father will beat him dozens of times in a while, just to let him know that he is wrong."

Well, Cao Pi, you kill people invisible.

The young master is weak, if it goes down dozens of times, it will be no wonder that the young master is not beaten to death.

You are an insidious villain, you really know how to use despicable methods.

If Cao Pi and Cao Chong were not born of the same father, Cao Chong would really like to greet Cao Pi's mother.

"Actually, it's easy to explain." Cao Chong said: "The total number of tiger and leopard riders is only five thousand, and it is a waste to build ten thousand armor."

"Instead of doing wasteful things, it is better to use good steel on the blade."

"Haier recently invented a plow called Quyuan plow. Using this plow to plow the land not only saves time and effort, but also maximizes the use of the land."

"As long as Quyuanli is popularized, we will have a bumper harvest in autumn, and the problem of food shortage will be solved."

"Oh?" Cao Cao was skeptical.

During the military training in Qiao County, Xun Yu wrote to Cao Cao several times to tell Cao Cao that there was a shortage of food and the people could not eat enough.

Cao Cao is also having a headache for this matter.

The food problem cannot be solved in a day or two. Cao Cao also wanted to discuss the food issue with Xun Yu when he returned to Xudu this time.

As a result, Cao Chong raised the issue of food.

"Is this true?" Cao Cao still didn't believe it.

Cao Chong was full of confidence, "If father doesn't believe it, let's go to the field and try it."

Anyway, Qu Yuanli has created a lot, Cao Chong is not afraid to give it a try.

For Cao Cao, if you try, you will try, and you won't pay anyway.

Cao Cao immediately called someone to summon Xun Yu, and then took Cao Chong's Quyuanli to the farmland outside Xudu City.

It is the season of spring plowing, and many farmers are already fertilizing the fields and preparing to plant seedlings.

It happened that a farmer took their cattle to the field and was about to plow the land.

Cao Chong stepped forward and talked to the farmer. Knowing that the other party was from the city of Xudu, the farmer knew that he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he lent the cow to Cao Chong.

Cao Chong ordered his subordinates to tie Qu Yuanli and the ox together according to his own statement, and then inform the farmers how to operate.

The farmers took care of them one by one, and began to plow the land with a Quyuan plow.

Sure enough, when the Quyuan plow was inserted into the soil, a large amount of soil was dug out, and the operation was simple, one person and one ox could complete it.

Compared with the straight shaft plow, it is also easy to operate.

The farmer shouted in surprise, "This is good, this is good. I used to plow one field a day, but with it I can plow three fields a day."

"My lord, what's the name of this thing, and where can I buy it?"

Cao Chong smiled, "You're welcome, I'll give you this pair of Quyuanli."

At the edge of the field not far away, Xun Yu and Cao Cao looked at each other and smiled similarly.

The two have worked together for many years, and although they haven't said anything, they understand each other.

This year is bound to be a bumper year!
"Prime Minister, the young master has done a lot of hard work." In the end, Xun Yu still couldn't hold back.

Cao Cao laughed, "Hahaha, my son is very good at sharing my worries, and he must be rewarded heavily!"

Cao Pi on the side felt very uncomfortable when he heard this.
