Cao Anmin sighed and said,
"Think about it, Mr. Zhao is the future son-in-law of the Sikong family.”
"In the future, you will also be a member of my Cao family.”
"Would Sikong be at ease if someone else went?”
"I'll definitely let my Cao Family personally choose them.”
"It's just that Sikong is currently busy with matters. How can you let Sikong personally handle such a small matter?”
Cao Chun was stunned.
"That's definitely not…"
Cao Cao, who was standing at the side, looked at Cao Chun, who appeared to be a little simple and honest. He was stunned by Cao Anmin's words.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Cao Anmin continued,
"In that case, I can only entrust this important task to you.”
"We must find a good place for Mr. Zhao to stay.”
"Moreover, it has to be not far from Sikong Manor.”
Cao Chun frowned slightly and thought carefully about what Cao Anmin said.
"That makes sense…"
"But, can't you also do this kind of thing?!”
"Sikong, I…I still have to train the Tiger Leopard Cavalry.”
Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand,"
"Alright, Zihe, don't decline.”
"The Tiger Leopard Cavalry needs to be reorganized."
"In the previous battle, the Tiger Leopard Cavalry lost quite a lot, and we still need to select new ones.”
"It's not too late to train after the selection.”
"You should first choose a good place for Qingfeng to stay.”
"Try to get closer to Sikong Manor.”
"Here…"
Cao Chun immediately wanted to cry but had no tears. He bitterly laughed and nodded.
……
Five days later.
During these five days, Xudu City was extremely peaceful.
Cao Chun was the only one who was bold and decisive, leading a small team of tigers and leopards to search for a house for Zhao Yang.
Nothing happened.
In the past few days, Cao Cao had been finding all sorts of excuses to get Zhao Yang to come to Sikong Manor.
He didn't do anything.
Only after five days did Cao Cao make his move.
On this day, he gathered Xun Yu, Xun You, and the other aristocrats to his residence.
He also called Zhao Yang over.
"Uncle, why did Sikong ask us to come here?”
Xun You looked at Xun Yu in confusion.
Originally, Xun You thought he had something important to discuss with him.
In the end, he didn't go to the military camp but came directly to Sikong Manor.
Moreover, the main people invited this time were all aristocratic families!
Xun You vaguely remembered the last time Cao Cao did this.
It was when he was short of money…
Could it be that he was short of money now?
Thinking of this, Xun You felt helpless.
Be it the Xun family or the other aristocratic families, they were all powerless.
After years of war, almost all the money and food in their hands were contributed to Cao Cao.
The warehouse was really empty.
Even the landlord family did not have any surplus grain!
Xun Yu didn't answer. Clearly, he had the same thoughts as Xun You.
However, he was not thinking about what to do with the money.
It was about what had happened.
He actually invited so many aristocrats to come here so boldly.
Soon, everyone arrived in front of Cao Cao.
"Sikong, why have you gathered us here?”
Xun Yu spoke first.
Cao Cao's expression was grave as he scanned the crowd.
A moment later, he handed a document to Xun Yu."
"Take a look for yourselves."
Seeing this scene, everyone could not help but be somewhat puzzled.
However, after reading the document, Xun Yu could not help but frown."
"The expansion of the imperial palace?"
Hearing these words, everyone's eyes instantly widened.
Zhao Yang also raised his eyebrows.
Was Liu Xie up to something again?
"That's right."
Cao Cao felt a headache coming on.
He couldn't reject this matter yet.
No matter what Cao Cao said, he was still the current Sikong.
No matter what, he had to maintain his face.
When he moved Liu Xie to Xudu, he simply built a palace for him to live in.
Compared to the imperial palace in Luoyang and Chang 'an, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
However, this simple palace had cost Cao Cao a lot of money.
As a result, Cao Cao had no choice but to use his father Cao Song's inheritance.
Even though Cao Cao had many cities under his command and had much more money and food than before.
However, it was still insufficient to repair the palace.
"This renovation was requested by the country uncle Dong Cheng and the various aristocrats.”
"If we take out so much money to repair the Imperial Palace now, we will be able to save the Imperial Palace.”
"Then the daily expenses will become a big problem.”
Cao Cao briefly explained the current situation.
However, he did not intend to ask the Xun family to pay for it.
Cao Cao knew exactly how much money these people had.
He could afford this sum of money.
But what should he do after that?
Xun Yu frowned.
After thinking for a long time, he said,
"If that's the case, then we can only save on our expenses.”
"During this period of time, in order to repair the Imperial Palace, this is the only way.”
Cao Cao nodded.
His thoughts were the same.
The Imperial Palace definitely needed to be repaired. Since that was the case, he could only let his subordinates tighten their belts for a period of time.
When Xu Prefecture was conquered, the situation would be much better.
However…
Cao Cao frowned and waved his hand,"
"There's no other way.”
"If this is the case, we will be fine.”
"The commoners have suffered."
"If this causes the people to be resentful, then the gains will not make up for the losses.”
The moment this question was thrown out, everyone was instantly speechless.
No one could find a better way.
He had no other choice but to save money to get through this period of time.
Xun Yu had always been loyal to the Great Han Dynasty, not Cao Cao.
But this time, he also felt that Dong Cheng and the others had gone overboard.
What time was it now?
There were many wars, and the vassals stood together.
If money was used to repair the palace, how could they fight?
How to make the dukes submit?
However, it was too late to say that now.
Everyone could not say anything.
Cao Cao couldn't help but look at Zhao Yang,"
"Qingfeng, do you have any ideas?"
Zhao Yang was stunned.
He originally thought that he was here to eat melons.
Why was he involved in this?
It was obvious that Cao Cao had spoken.
Zhao Yang thought for a moment and said,"
"There is a method that might work.”
Hearing this, everyone looked up at Zhao Yang.
Especially Xun Yu and Xun You.
They wanted to see what kind of brilliant ideas this official registrar who had just entered the camp and was already deeply trusted would have.
He didn't believe that Zhao Yang had done anything during the battle of Wan City.
As long as there was a contribution, it would not be left out in the battle report.
Zhao Yang said slowly,"
"Do you still remember the story of Shang Yang moving Mu Lixin during the Qin Dynasty?”
Move the wood to Lixin?
Hearing these words, everyone was stunned.
Xun Yu immediately understood what Zhao Yang meant."
"What the registrar means is that we should imitate Shang Yang and use this method to motivate the people.”
"To prevent the people from feeling resentful?"
