Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 572

The night was like waves, and the cold wind was blowing.

Cao Ang stood by the fence in casual clothes, looking up at the night with fine spring rain, his thoughts were troubled.

The attendant stood behind Cao Ang for a long time, but he saw that Mr. Cao was only looking at the light rain outside the window, silent.

The night in March is still very cold, especially in Yecheng compared to Xuchang.

The attendant didn't understand why Cao Ang was full of thoughts, but if the eldest son was allowed to get sick in front of him, Mrs. Ding might discount her three legs together.

Finally, the attendant plucked up his courage and said hesitatingly: "My lord is very cold at night, why don't we go back to the house first."

Cao Ang's thoughts were interrupted, and he, who has always been lenient, was not angry because of it. Instead, he asked: "You said, when will the master arrive in Yecheng?"

The attendant naturally knew who Cao Ang was talking about, he thought about it, and replied: "Your canonization ceremony will be the next day, and Lu Hussars will arrive in about two days."

Cao Ang laughed and said, "Slippery!"

The day after tomorrow is the canonization ceremony, Lu Yan must not miss this important moment, of course he will arrive in Xuchang in the next two days.

It wasn't embarrassing for the attendant to be distracted, "I can't hide my thoughts from the young master, of course."

"Father said, if there is anyone in the world who can help me to sit firmly in the world, I will not think of others except my husband."

The attendant was a little frightened by Cao Ang's words, even though he was a personal servant who had grown up with Cao Ang, he would not dare to answer such words.

"Forget it, why tell you this." Cao Ang smiled wryly, and said, "Since the identity of the son was confirmed, the second, third, and fourth brothers are no longer as close as they used to be when they saw me."

"You are the successor of the prime minister, the heir of the Cao family. The second, third, and fourth sons naturally have to pay attention to etiquette."

"Yeah. We've all grown up." Cao Ang sighed, then cheered up and said: "Mr. once said that in this world, someone must carry the weight to move forward!"

"Since my father has chosen me, then I must be a good burdened forwarder, and I cannot lose my father and my husband's face!"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the distance, and then Cao Cao's voice came over: "Okay! My son's speech is wonderful!"

"Father!" Cao Ang was startled, and then a little embarrassed appeared.

"Don't look like this, what you said is indeed right." Cao Cao patted Cao Ang, who was a head taller than himself, on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I just received the news that Mr. Lu will arrive in Yecheng tomorrow. There are still many things to discuss with me in Fanqian, so come and listen to me when the time comes."

Cao Ang knew that it was Cao Cao who was going to start a little trouble for him. He tried his best to suppress his joy, bowed and said, "I will leave everything to my father's arrangement!"

After talking with Cao Ang for a while, Cao Cao left straight away. He was here to find Cao Ang's adoptive mother, Mrs. Ding.

The canonization ceremony is imminent, and the backyard especially needs to be stable.

Although Mrs. Ding did not give birth to a son and a half daughter for Cao Cao, her methods and style are undoubtedly superior.

Moreover, Mrs. Ding has always regarded Cao Ang as her own, and Cao Cao also respects her very much, and will come to discuss many important matters with Mrs. Ding.

After Cao Cao left straight away, some thoughts in Cao Ang's mind also dissipated, "Mr. will come to Yecheng tomorrow. I really miss the days when I was training under Mr.'s hands!"

The next day, Lu Yan arrived in Ye City before noon.

In the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao and Cao Ang have been waiting for a long time.

Lu Yan came down to the study led by his attendants.

After Cao Ang saw Lu Yan, he immediately got up and performed a disciple salute, saying, "I've seen you sir!"

Lu Yan patted Cao Ang Jianshuo's arm, and joked: "When did the eldest son become so alienated?"

Cao Ang grinned when he heard the words, and the inexplicable tension in his heart suddenly disappeared, "Haha, Mr. is still as easy-going as ever."

Lu Yan looked at Cao Cao again, and said, "Mr. Cao, I want to discuss something with you."

Cao Cao pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Sit down and drink some tea, let's talk slowly."

Lu Yan picked up the tea bowl and drank it like a cow chewing peonies in one gulp.Seeing this posture, the corners of Cao Cao and Cao Ang's eyes twitched slightly.

A cup of tea eased Lu Yan's exhaustion a little. After he sat down, he said to Cao Cao, "Mr. Cao, I'm going to separate the general supervisor!"

"Ah?!" Cao Ang was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Cao Cao's eyes also widened, and he asked incredulously, "What? You're going to tear down the prisoner???!"

When Lu Yan heard it, he immediately knew that they had misunderstood, so he quickly explained: "It's not about dismantling the general prison, but to separate the current departments of the general prison."

"So that's how it is!" Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Speak clearly. Do you know that Jiang Zuojian is not only your heart and soul, but also the cash cow and rice bowl for all of us! The matter of smashing the rice bowl, You can't do it!"

Under Cao Cao's rule, most of the things that make a lot of money, as well as armor, weapons, advanced agricultural tools, etc., are all produced by the general supervisor. If there is a problem with the general supervisor, his old Cao can fight Lu Yan desperately.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Cao Cao asked after he stabilized his mind.

"I went to the general prison a few days ago and found that the current operation method of the general prison is too inefficient."

"Still low???" Cao Ang on the side opened his mouth wide again before he could fully close it.

Making money every day is not enough to describe the efficiency of making money as a general, and the efficiency of building armored equipment is even better than that of other princes.
Cao Cao tried his best to suppress his slightly trembling hands, and after putting down the teacup, he asked, "Do you still have a way to improve efficiency?"

"Yes! Didn't I come here to discuss with you?" Lu Yan said indifferently, filling a cup of tea for himself and Cao Cao.

"Whatever you want to do, you can do it boldly and confidently. Don't you understand my Cao Cao's feelings for you?"

"This time the commotion may be a bit big, so I must communicate with you."

"Tell me, how do you want to dismantle it?"

"This matter cannot be completed overnight, so I plan to dismantle the two workshops of steelmaking and forging first, and synthesize them into an independent department!"

Steel making and forging!
Cao Ang suddenly understood why Lu Yan must come to discuss with Cao Cao.

Iron and steel and forging (weapons, armor, agricultural tools, etc.) are the lifeblood of a country, so this is a big deal, and Lu Yan must get the support of Cao Cao, the actual power holder.

Cao Cao thought for a while, and he really felt that this was a very necessary measure, "It is indeed a good proposal."

After pondering for a moment, Cao Cao tentatively asked: "Mr. Lu, if we become independent according to your idea, how much steel can reach the daily output?"

Lu Yan was taken aback by Cao Cao's question, and thought, "I really haven't thought about it."

After thinking for a while, Lu Yan figured out a rough figure, and then replied: "If it goes well, it should be conservatively estimated to reach a daily output of [-] jin."

"Pfft!" Cao Cao spat out the tea in his mouth in one gulp.

"Hiss!" Cao Ang couldn't help but gasped.

Jiang Zuojian currently produces about [-] catties of steel per day, so can the production be increased by ten times in one fell swoop?

Cao Cao wiped off the tea on the table with one sleeve, and with a big face almost pressed against Lu Yan, he asked, "Really?"

Lu Yan stretched out his hand to push away Lao Cao's face, nodded and said, "Really!"

"Okay!" After Cao Cao got the exact answer, he excitedly said to a row of tables: "It's done!"

　Forgot to set the time.
