Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 296

And this Tianji Xia Houzhe...

This guy is full of guts, but this guy is full of eggs!

No wonder he brought three female relatives with him!I, Lu Zijing, have realized it!

From now on... you can't bet with me even if you beat me to death!Look how miserable the lord and the others are!

"Zijing! What's wrong with you? Why are you sitting on the ground?"

"My... my lord, my legs are weak! It's cool on the ground and I want to sit for a while longer!"

Lu Su took a deep breath. My lord, who is so cruel to himself, is afraid that the world will be uncertain after following him?

Cao Cao didn't care about it after hearing this, he only thought that Lu Su was as vain as Guo Jia.

"By the way, Zijing, I heard from the people in the city that your Lu family has a lot of food? Can you sell some to me? The recent wars have consumed a lot of food."

Lu Su waved his hand: "Barely make enough to live on! My lord, don't talk about buying between us! I'll give you some!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao sighed.

People can barely make enough to live on, how can I buy it myself?

In name, he said to give me a little, but how much can he give?How many jacks!

What is the use of this?A drop in the bucket.

This is the way smart people politely refuse, it's a good move to advance before retreating!

"That's not necessary! Zijing's family doesn't have any food left over, how can I take your things! You still have a big family to support!"

"If you sell it, then I'll buy some! I can't take yours for nothing!"

Lu Su nodded and gave Cao Cao a thumbs up!

"My lord is really a good man! It's okay, I still have some in my warehouse, I'll give it to you! Come with me!"

After speaking, without further discussion, he took Cao Cao and others to the granary.

This kind of behavior made everyone sigh from the bottom of their hearts, this Lu Su is really heroic and generous!

Cao Cao waved his hands again and again: "No! Cao Mengde won't ask for anything! Otherwise, I won't go with you!"

snort!How can I, Cao Mengde, exploit my subordinates like this?

Just a thousand catties of grain and grass, if you say no, then don't!

Lu Su sighed: "Alright then! Since the lord doesn't want it, then spend money to buy it!"

Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Xia Houzhe couldn't help poking him, pulled him aside, and muttered in a low voice.

"Brother, I suggest you take back what you just said, the granary of Lu Su's family...it's not ordinary! I'm afraid you will regret it!"

Cao Cao smiled faintly: "I, Cao Mengde, am not a person who takes advantage of others! Don't worry, I won't regret it just because of a little food and grass!"

After Guo Jia and the others heard it, they all looked at Cao Cao with admiration, and raised their middle fingers to Xia Houzhe.

"My lord! Atmosphere!"

"That's right! A master like you is a good leader! Be considerate of your subordinates!"

"Yuan Yi is here to confuse people again. No matter how unusual he is, he is also a granary!"

"That's right! Zijing said it himself, it's only enough to get by, so how much food can we have? My lord, let's be tough! Don't let Zijing look down on us!"

Cao Cao nodded, and after being praised for a while, his waist straightened even more.

Xia Houzhe shrugged and refused to explain.

[I hope that you can wait a while...you can still be so calm!You don't want people to give you food for nothing...you will regret it! 】

Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat, isn't it a lot?

After thinking about it for a few seconds, I shook my head firmly. How many families are there that barely survive?

My dear brother, this is trying to trick me, and let me get a bad reputation for taking advantage of me!

You handsome boy, very bad!

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth were slightly raised, revealing the evil smile of a black brother, and he glanced at Xia Houzhe with contempt.

Ten minutes later, everyone followed Lu Su to his family's granary.

When Lu Su asked someone to open the granary, Cao Cao slapped himself hard when he looked at the full warehouse!

Is this what you mean by barely getting by?

The granary is full of high-quality rice, one rice is three thousand stones, 18 catties!

Good rice like this can be sold for at least 600 yuan per stone!

Cao Cao regretted it!

If I had known so much earlier, I would have lied to him with such shamelessness!

Although 18 catties is not particularly large for Cao Cao's current savings!

But this kind of giving away, the food and grass that has already reached his mouth, is also given away by himself, it feels extremely uncomfortable!

Am I stupid to ride a horse?

Everyone stopped talking and stared at the back of their feet.

There are two large granaries in Lu Su's house, with a total of 6000 shimi, which is just barely enough for him to live on.

Everyone didn't know what to say, maybe they didn't even reach the food and clothing line, and they belonged to poor households.

"Master, do you... want to buy it?"

Pfft... These words made Cao Cao's heart hurt even more.

Originally, I didn't want to pay for it, but now I was forced to spend money by myself.

"Buy! Brother, give me the money! It will be deducted from my account!"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said this!

Everyone wanted to laugh when they saw him like this.

Xia Houzhe nodded, waved his hand, and more than 130 gold appeared in front of Lu Su.

This stunned Lu Su!

"Damn it! Immortal method? The egg-cutter immortal, please accept my Lu Su's worship!"

"roll!"

Xia Houzhe cursed with a smile.

Later, Cao Cao gave Lu Su a day to settle in the Lu family. During this period, Guo Jia fulfilled his promise to learn from Xia Houzhe.

The next day a group of people set sail again and headed for Chenliu.

When passing by Xiaopei, Xia Houzhe picked up Ganmei and brought it with Lu Lingqi and the others.

At Rencheng's own coal mine, the dug coal mine was put into the system, which weighed about [-] catties!

After all, the mining capacity at this time was not high, and he didn't pay much attention to the coal mine, so the output was not much.

After ten days, everyone returned to Chenliu.

Because Cao Cao did not bring a catapult with him on the return journey, he was left in Xiapi, so the speed was much faster.

That night, those with wives went to have sex with their wives, while those without wives went shopping in brothels.

The night passed quickly.

The meeting hall of Chen Liu the next day.

"My lord! Gongsun Zan...has already destroyed Liu Yu in Youzhou!"

"Liu Yu committed suicide on the city of Youzhou! Now Gongsun Zan has completely transferred his troops and is attacking Yuan Shao! Yuan Shao is defending the city and dare not fight."

"Yuan Shao even sent a messenger over to ask for help. I hope we can send troops to help! Try to drive Gongsun Zan back!"

Cao Cao was slightly startled when he heard Jushou Xun Yu's report.

Judging from the current situation, Yuan Shao might not be able to stop Gongsun Zan!

As long as Yuan Shao dies, Gongsun Zan's power will be unprecedentedly large, and will directly approach Yanzhou.

Cao Cao looked serious: "What do you think?"

Lu Su cupped his hands: "My lord, whether to help or not is a question! I think we shouldn't help Yuan Shao! He also plots against us in Yanzhou. I think it's better to let them both lose!"

Xi Zhicai nodded in agreement: "That's right! If we send troops there, we will easily be used as gunmen! And the efforts are not thankful, and the prisoners of war will definitely be snatched by Yuan Shao. It's not worth it!"

"If Gongsun Zan is defeated, then Yuan Shao will definitely turn around and beat us! Luring a wolf into a house is no different from seeking skin from a tiger!"

Xun Yu and Ju Shou held different opinions on their views.

"My lord, I think we should send an elite team to help Yuan Shao! Everyone understands the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold! Compared with Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, who is an ally on the surface, is more reliable."

"Wen Ruo is right! Once Jizhou is broken, Gongsun Zan will go straight to Yanzhou! At that time, the war will come to us!"

Hearing these words, Cao Cao also frowned, unable to make up his mind.

Slowly, two formations emerged in Cao Ying, the main battle and the wait and see.

Even generals are the same!Some say to fight, some say not to fight.

"Feng Xiao, what do you think? Why don't you speak?"

Looking at the group of people arguing endlessly below, Cao Cao rubbed his eyebrows and turned to look at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia spread out his hands, as if seeing through the world.

"My lord, it's useless for me to say it! According to your usual habits, you must want to ask my dog ​​thief master at this time!"

Cao Cao smiled: "Those who know me! Be filial!"

Chapter 344 Improved Papermaking Technology

After an hour or two of quarreling, the crowd broke up.

After the meeting, Cao Cao took Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Xu Chu, the talented talent, to Xia Houzhe's house.

At this moment, on the stone table in the Shenxu Pavilion, there are some papers filled with vigorous and powerful words.

Also drew a lot of pictures.

I don't know what to do.

As for Xia Houzhe, he was practicing gymnastics on the side, exercising his muscles and bones!It looks like you are tired after sitting for a long time.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

"One two three four, two two three four, put your ass up, do it again!"

"My dear brother! What are you creating?"

Originally, Cao Cao and the others wanted to ask him what he thought about sending troops.

It turned out that after discovering this thing, they immediately became interested, and the business was thrown aside by them.

It's no wonder they were surprised, because every time the other party brought out a new item, it was shocking.

After Xia Houzhe finished his gymnastics, he sat down again, and Lu Lingqi and Cai Yan hurried up to massage his shoulders.

Even the old man Cai Yong came up and looked at him eagerly.

"Oh! Here, I'm improving papermaking! By the way, I'll do woodblock printing, or movable type printing!"

Hearing this, several people looked at each other in blank dismay, a little confused.

"What the hell? Improved papermaking?"

"Hey! You don't need to do this! It has been improved by Cai Lun! And isn't there paper on the market now?"

"The texture is soft and delicate, and the yellow one is very good! Although it is a bit expensive, it is affordable for your family!"

"I see that your hut is full of paper! A luxurious batch! Next time we will organize a group to come to your hut!"

Cao Cao laughed badly, and when he mentioned going to the latrine, he suddenly felt like he wanted to go!

The corners of Xia Houzhe's eyes twitched, and he looked at the people with disgust. He wanted to lock the hut five or six times!
