Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 579

He glanced at Xia Houzhe, then at Cao Cao.

They are all smart people, everyone knows what he means, isn't it just insinuating Cao Cao?

Cheng Yu blinked, not at all afraid that Cao Cao would be angry, anyway, on the surface, he was just trying to speak justice for the soldiers.

As for venting his dissatisfaction...just passing by!

Cao Cao's face was dark: "Zhongde! You don't understand, you have to work hard and work hard when you are young, otherwise it will be too late to work when you are old!"

"You don't work hard when you are young, and you eat air when you are old! Understand? My dear brother, this is for the benefit of the soldiers! If you don't work hard a few times, if one day you kick your legs, you will not be able to work!"

To this shameless Cao Cao, everyone was speechless.

To be able to say that exploitation is for the benefit of employees, a proper bad boss!

Xia Houzhe smiled and said, "I'm paid for overtime work! Each of them pays a copper coin. With such a high overtime pay, all the soldiers are laughing."

These words made everyone's eyes light up suddenly, only Cao Cao's face turned darker, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.

Sure enough, in the next second, Cheng Yu, Zhicai Guo Jia and others joined forces to stand up.

"Cough! My lord! We have something to discuss with you!"

Cao Cao put his hands in the pockets of his military coat, turned his head and walked away!

But he grabbed Cheng Yu!

"My lord, don't! Let's discuss it. You see... grassroots workers are also human, right?"

"You often say that we should be people-oriented, and now we have a good opportunity to show this principle, so... I propose that we establish a labor law when we go back!"

"This labor law is designed to protect workers. I suggest that it is better to work from nine to five in the morning. Overtime work at night is calculated by money! What do you think...how?"

Cheng Yu smiled obsequiously, and Guo Jiaxi Zhicai and the others kept nodding in agreement.

Cao Cao squinted at them a few times, then spoke coldly.

"It's not good! If this law is to be established, I have to wait until I unify the big man! The world is not level, so what's the use of establishing it?"

"So, for the early implementation of the labor law, Zhongde! You have to work harder! The happiness of grassroots employees depends on you!"

"Come on! Let's grow bigger and stronger together and create greater glories! From now on, I will let you manage the Labor Bureau and specifically sanction labor cases!"

"In order to speed up this progress, I decided to change my working hours from 6 hours a day to 7 hours. This is also to work hard for a better life!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao patted Cheng Yu who was already stupefied.

Cheng Yu was already in a daze at the moment, he failed to fight for welfare, but was fed chicken soup instead?And the working hours have been added by 2 hours?

Isn't this the same as giving a set of test papers as a gift on a student's birthday?

I feel bad and want to cry!I can't tell the pain!

Xia Houzhe shook his head sympathetically, but luckily he has always been idle.

Cao Cao laughed, hooked shoulders with Xia Houzhe, and walked towards the craftsman's place together on the thick snow.

Inside the craftsman's office, the workers were still knocking non-stop, and everyone was busy like a raging fire!

Some used knives to chop bamboo, some used fire to deform bamboo, and some were making things out of wood.

Working all night, although their faces were tired, they couldn't hide the excitement in their eyes!

Because, as long as this batch of goods is finished, they can get at least a thousand dollars!

We must know that in this war-torn era, it is still very difficult for ordinary people to earn money!

This can be exchanged for hundreds of catties of rice!

Seeing Cao Cao, Xia Houzhe and the others come in, everyone put down their efforts and knelt down to salute.

"Caomin has met the prime minister! I have met the governor! I have met all the lords and generals!"

"Please, everyone, there is no need to be too polite! I wonder if the things my virtuous brother Xia Houzhe explained are ready?"

Cao Cao raised his hand in the air, motioning for everyone to get up.

The craftsmen didn't dare to get up, the person in front of them was the prime minister, with a high position and authority, they didn't even dare to look directly at him!

Among so many people, they dared to look at Xia Houzhe.

Because the other party... has no airs, and is very close to the people!Chatting with ordinary craftsmen and soldiers like them is very lively.

"Prime Minister! What Lord Xiahou said, hundreds of us and all the soldiers made more than 3000 fights overnight! Do you want to see it?"

Cao Cao nodded: "Take me to see the finished product!"

The craftsman took the lead and led a group of people to the warehouse.

Opening the door of the warehouse, the piles inside are all made of bamboo and wood, things that look like sedan chairs but are not sedan chairs.

There are two bamboo boards with warped heads below, and the top looks like a combination of a rocking chair and a sedan chair!

The big one is quite big, the length is basically between 2-3 meters, and it can squeeze about eight to ten people!

Looking at these things, Cao Cao was stunned for a while, he had never seen such strange things.

"What's this thing called? How does it work?"

"The sedan chair is not like a sedan chair, the chair is not like a chair, and the car is not like a car. They are completely different! Feng Xiaozhi is talented Zhong Dewenhe, you four have a lot of knowledge, do you understand?"

Jia Xu and the others shook their heads.

Guo Jia spread his hands: "Master, you are so wise that you can't understand it, how can we understand it?"

"How about... I'll lie on it and see if I should lift it or push it? I'll do whatever you want, and I won't move!"

"Get lost! Are you fat? Dare you ask me to work for you?"

Cao Cao scolded with a smile.

Instead, the craftsman immediately knelt down and replied.

"Prime Minister! Although Cao Min doesn't know how to use it! But Master Xiahou asked us to build it, I think... you can ask him!"

Cao Cao nodded, and asked Xu Chu and Huang Zhong to carry the biggest and most gorgeous one out.

He himself found Xia Houzhe who was holding a large basket of copper coins and handing out wages with a smile!

"My dear brother! Are you done with your work?"

"Oh! Come on, in order to pay their wages, I exchanged a lot of copper coins in Leisiku in Liyang yesterday! Otherwise, I would be covered in gold, and it would be difficult to find some copper coins!"

"What's wrong? What's the matter with you?"

Xia Houzhe turned around and responded.

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched when they heard that it was not a pretense but it was more like a pretense.

"How do you use this thing? Quickly teach us, Xuexue just uses it to catch Yuan Shao by surprise!"

Xia Houzhe handed over the money to Wang Yue Lu Bu and asked them to distribute it on his behalf.

Turning around, he walked to Cao Cao's side, and pointed to the big guy on the ground.

"This thing is called a sled! The best tool for transporting goods and traveling in the snow!"

"We will use it when we go to Beiping and Liaodong in the future!"

According to records, the sled first appeared in AD 1480 and originated in Norway in Northern Europe!

The local people use sleds to travel, and it is very convenient to transport goods.

It's normal for Cao Cao and the others to never see him!After all, more than 1000 years have passed.

Cao Cao circled the sled and kicked the sled in disbelief.

He looked at Xia Houzhe suspiciously.

"It's such a simple thing? Snow artifact? I always feel like you're fooling me!"

"A frame made of a few pieces of broken bamboo, a few pieces of cloth on it, and two ropes pulled in front, can this defeat Yuan Shao? Can it be unimpeded in the snow?"

Not only did he not believe it, but even Guo Jia and the others had expressions of disappointment on their faces.

"It doesn't seem to be much different from a sedan chair! Could it be... that soldiers are going to carry us to fight? Then I might as well ride a horse!"

"Exactly! Marching in the snow has been a big problem since ancient times. I don't believe that something made of such a few pieces of bamboo can speed us up! It doesn't even have a wheel!"

Among the many people present, only Dian Wei trusted Xia Houzhe unconditionally.

"Yuan Yi, sit on it! I'll pull you to run, you can definitely outrun Feng Xiao's horse!"

Xia Houzhe waved his hand with a sneer on his face.

"You know what! Don't think it's simple, but you can't make it if you invent it! It's like the zipper on your crotch, isn't it simple? But you can make it before I do it?"

Everyone smiled awkwardly, as if it made sense.

Some things seem simple, but no one can think of them in a lifetime.

Xia Houzhe rolled his eyes and didn't care about them.

"Lao Dian, pull it out! Let them see my artifact!"

Chapter 675 Working Horse, Jueying's Counterattack

According to Xia Houzhe's instructions, Dian Wei dragged the four-meter-long sled with soft cushions into the snow outside.

Everyone followed behind, also wanting to see if this thing works well.

"Brother, this...wouldn't be someone to carry it away?"

"If I can carry this thing in the snow, I still need a fart sled? The army can just move!"

Cao Cao asked in confusion.

When it snowed, the cavalry didn't have a big impact. The long legs of the war horse were completely capable of walking, and even running.

However, the infantry is not good, and they can't walk twenty miles a day with all their might.

Xia Houzhe smiled: "You don't need to carry it, just use a horse! That's why I brought back Zilong's light cavalry and Zihe's leopard cavalry."

"You can only sit one person on a horse, and 3000 horses are just 3000 people. Even if you kill Tucheng, what is the use of the [-]? Delivering food?"

"However, it's different with a sled! Seven or eight people can be squeezed on it! Only one or two horses are needed! Tell me, will there be many more soldiers brought over? Can Yuan Shao be caught off guard?"

Hearing this, Cao Cao and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, all looking at the sled expectantly.

The sled was put on the ground by Dian Wei, and Xia Houzhe led the Chitu out from the stable.

And put the rope on Chitu's body and tie it!

After finishing all this, Xia Houzhe patted the snow that had just fallen on the sled, and waved to everyone.

"Which one of you will sit with me? I'll take you skiing!"

As soon as the words fell, Guo Jia's drama talent, Zhao Yun and Cao Cao all stood up.

He lifted his foot, stepped onto the sled consciously, and sat on it.

"Get ready! Let's set sail! Drive...Chitu, let's run!"

Xia Houzhe flicked the reins, and the red rabbit horse snorted.

It seems that he is dissatisfied with the master for pulling it out to work in the winter.

Chitu is the best among horses, with great strength, like the snow on the ground did not have much impact on it.

With four legs, he pulled the sled and ran forward.

Cao Cao and the others leaned back, and instantly felt a sense of pushing back!

Is this stepping horse the catapult start of a luxurious war horse?So cool!

It seems...a bit more powerful than Jueying!

"My lord, I now understand why you all pursue BMW! I seem to like this feeling too!"

"That's right! My dead horse started slowly, like a master! Look at this red rabbit, it reaches top speed in three seconds! Awesome!"

Guo Jiaxi gave a thumbs up.

Chitu understood human nature, understood what the two said, and ran more happily, showing his strength to everyone.

So there is what kind of owner, there is what kind of horse.
