Early the next morning, Cao Cao brought Qu Yuanli to the official residence in Yanzhou.
The counselors and generals were already waiting there. Those who knew the inside story, like Xun Yu and the others, put on an innocent look at this moment, completely forgetting what happened yesterday.
Seeing Qu Yuanli appear, he showed a surprised expression at the right time.
Of course, Cao Cao would not be so stupid as to take the initiative to tell the story of his being beaten by his wife. After realizing that Xun Yu and the others were very good, he clenched his fists and coughed a few times.
The good old man Xun Yu took a step forward and asked suspiciously:
"My lord, what is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
Brother Xiahou lowered his head, this group of scholars really know how to act, all of them are oscar winners!
Cao Cao glanced at Xun Yu approvingly, and said proudly:
"I went back to the mansion yesterday. I thought hard about the agricultural problems you raised. Finally, I transformed the existing long straight plow into a curved plow. It is not only convenient to use, but also improves the efficiency. Zhicai and Zhongde, you two are frail scholars, come and try! "
Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu came out and lifted Qu Yuanli to try. Sure enough, it is much lighter than the existing long straight shaft plow. As for Cao Cao's claim of high efficiency, this needs to be verified in the actual use process.
Xi Zhicai walked around Qu Yuanli a few times, and couldn't help sighing:
"My lord is a great talent! Only from this Qu Yuanli, Zhicai has comprehended the lord's knowledge about balance and stability!"
Cao Cao: ???
"Hahaha, of course, hahaha." After being surprised, Cao Cao laughed out loud.
I don't know, I really thought it was made by Cao Cao.
"Let's see, my lord takes the forehead as the center line, and maintains an inexplicable balance between the left and right sides. From the perspective of shape, the plow wall, plow bottom, and yoke below are large in size and stable. Without great wisdom, there is no It is impossible to make such a creation!"
Hearing what Xi Zhicai said, everyone realized that a little Qu Yuanli really contained great wisdom.
Only Xi Zhicai took the lead, and the rest of them also cupped their hands and said:
"Master is talented!"
For everyone's flattery, Cao Cao took it all in a high spirited manner. After all, Cao Ziyou cheated him hard yesterday, and Mrs.
Ding mistakenly thought that Lao Cao had taught her son badly. After the Xiahou brothers and the others left, Madam Ding made a big fuss, embarrassing Lao Cao.
Therefore, as revenge, Lao Cao directly put the credit for Qu Yuanli on himself. Xun Yu and other people who knew the inside story did not dare to reveal it, and only praise was left in the hall.
With Quyuan plow, the efficiency of farming is greatly accelerated. Yanzhou's military forces have gradually implemented the battle against the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, and the situation in Yanzhou is very good. After handling the official duties, Lao Cao left Cao Hong behind, and the rest of the people walked out of the government.
As soon as he left the mansion, Xi Zhicai grabbed Xun Yu.
"Wen Ruo, is this Qu Yuanli your masterpiece?"
The rest of the generals also slowed down and pricked up their ears.
Xun Yu shook his head and said:
"Zhicai, it's not that you don't know me. It's okay to let me handle official documents or formulate strategies, but let me delve into these tools. I absolutely can't do it!'
"But Wen Ruo, do you believe that the lord made it himself? Quyuanli was far from being made overnight.
When we asked the lord yesterday, the lord had no idea. How could it be that it was only a day later, my lord Just come up with a Quyuanli?" Cheng Yu also nodded in agreement. We all know each other's level.
If Lao Cao was so ingenious, he would have led Yanzhou into the age of industrialization long ago.
The other generals didn't think much of it at first, but after listening to Xi Zhicai's analysis, they suddenly felt that what the military adviser said made sense. If you say that Lao Cao came up with a few good ideas when he was in command of the war, they would 100% believe it.
But I have followed Boss Cao for so many years, and I have never seen Boss Cao doing handicraft work before!
At this moment, Brother Xiahou hastily turned his head, not daring to look at Xi Zhicai and the others again, for fear of being discovered by this group of highly intelligent military advisers.
Xun Yu couldn't get rid of it, so he had to say with a sloppy eye:
"Zhicai, I don't know either. Since my lord said he made it overnight, then you have to ask the people in Cao's mansion?"
"Wen Ruo, other than that, I don't think the lord has come up with the solution to the Yellow Turban Army that he said before. Could it be that the lord has counselors behind him to help? No, I have to try again!"
After Xi Zhi finished speaking, he turned and went back to the official residence.
At this moment in the mansion, Cao Hong was standing in front of Cao Cao with a sad face.
A few minutes ago, Cao Hong was left alone by Lao Cao. He thought it was some secret mission! As a result, Lao Cao told him that he hoped he could arrange Cao Ziyou into the army. Cao Cao is the shepherd of Yanzhou, so letting Cao Ziyou join the army is a one-sentence matter.
But Lao Cao's purpose is to help Cao Ziyou get rid of his stubborn personality. If he is randomly arranged into an army, no one will dare to set rules for the second son of the Cao family. The Xiahou brothers are also fine, but Cao Cao is worried about the IQ gap, and the two will be killed by Cao Ziyou.
So after much deliberation, Cao Hong was finally selected.
Cao Hong is not a fool either, he has personally experienced the prestige of the Little Devil King. So as soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Cao Hong couldn't wait to refuse: "My lord, the general feels that he is not capable enough.
The second son is the unicorn appointed by the lord. Letting the future lead him is not a mistake! I think Brother Xiahou is good, so let the lord leave it to them!"
Cao Cao frowned and shouted in a low voice: "Zi Lian! You are my younger brother and our own family.
Zi You is your nephew, and he messes around like this every day. Do you have the nerve to stand by and watch?
Zi You is talented, but he has never been taught by a famous teacher. If If you don't help, are you going to watch Ziyou degenerate step by step with your own eyes?"
"But didn't Ziyou help you solve problems every time?"
"I..."
Old Cao was blocked by Cao Hong's words.
There is no other way, I can only rely on my own identity to forcibly demand it.
"Zi Lian! I'm not discussing with you, but ordering you! I will tell Zi You at dinner tonight, and let him report to your army tomorrow, do you hear me?"
Perhaps because he felt that his tone was a bit tough, Cao Cao gave Cao Hong another sweet date.
"After the Yellow Turban Army has been incorporated, I will let you select a few elites first! The most important rule in the army, as long as you can take good care of Ziyou, I will remember your achievements in my heart, and I will not treat you badly in the future!"
At this moment, Xi Zhi hurried in.
"My lord, my lord, Zhicai has something to ask my lord!" As Lao Cao's confidant military adviser, the guards did not stop him, letting Xi Zhicai trot in all the way.
