Three Kingdoms: Do you call this a weak counselor? !

Chapter 102 Sister, wouldn’t it be nice for you two to marry Mr. Zhang together?

"fuel?!"

I heard this sentence coming out of Xun You's mouth.

Think again about the big problem that I have encountered recently under my lord's rule.

And when Xun You spoke, he seemed very confident in his demeanor and tone.

Xun Yu suddenly had some bad premonitions in his heart.

By the way, my eldest nephew is planning to give a big gift to Duke Cao.

No...it's also coal, right?
If this is really the case, then this time things will really turn out to be great fun!
After all, Gaojiu had already taken out the coal first.

And just yesterday, we got a coal stove and briquettes, and thought of all the supporting facilities, which have become extremely complete.

Now, the Lord has begun arranging manpower to start mining coal on a large scale.

He also produced briquettes and taught people how to make coal stoves.

It can be said that everything that should be considered has been considered.

If he is his eldest nephew, in this case, the big gift he gets is coal.

Then this matter really makes people don’t know what to say!
It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?
Xun Yu comforted himself in his heart and told himself not to think too much.

My eldest nephew probably didn't know there was such a thing as coal in the past.

The solution he thought of should not be coal.

However, if it is not coal, what else can be used as fuel to solve the big problem that Cao Gong encountered?
He couldn't figure it out at all.

Following Xun You's next move, Xun Yu quickly gave up the little bit of luck in his heart.

Xun You quickly placed the small package he was holding on the ground and opened it.

Then the black coal inside was revealed.

Xun Yu is really familiar with this thing!

In the past few days, he had been dealing with this thing a lot.

This thing is just coal!

"Uncle, do you see that this thing looks like a stone, but in fact, it is not just a simple stone.

This thing can be ignited and used as fuel.

And its burning effect is very good, even better than charcoal.

Because it looks like stone, and like charcoal, it can burn.

So I call it charcoal.

There are a lot of these things, buried underground.

In some places, it is directly exposed outside.

It only needs to be mined and then used directly.

It is more energy-saving than charcoal.

I also got the news recently.

This time, because the weather was too cold, there was a shortage of fuel under Cao Gong's rule.

Many people died because of this.

So I came here immediately and delivered the fuel.

How about this? Is this a great gift? "

Xun You pointed at the coal in the package and looked at Xun Yu saying this with a proud look on his face.

While saying these words, he also paid attention to his uncle's expression.

Wanting to see his uncle, Shi Tan looked shocked when he saw him.

Especially after hearing his own words, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak. Xun You felt even more comfortable in his heart.

He raised his head higher. He knew very well about his uncle.

This is a person who is said to have the talent of a king.

And his title is not in vain, he really has the talent of a king.

On weekdays, he has the image of a humble gentleman, very graceful and graceful.

Do things with reason and evidence, without showing off your problems.

There are never too many mood swings.

At least on the surface.

No matter how surprising he encountered, he was not surprised at all.

There will be no change in expression.

Now, as he spoke, his uncle showed such an expression.

This is really rare!
At the same time, this also confirmed for him that he really gave a big gift this time.

One portion is enough to bring Cao Cao back to life, relieve his urgent needs, and receive endless gifts!

This time things are stable!

At this time, Xun Yu was not feeling well.

Looking at Xun You, for a moment, I didn't know what to say.

What I was most worried about happened, just like that!

Everything turned out to be true.

Xun You actually took out something like coal.

Even though he was as smart as he was, he didn't know how to describe his mood for a moment.

"Um...Gongda, this is about it..."

Xun Yu was thinking about his words here, thinking about how to tell Xun You about this.

After Xun You heard Xun Yu's words, he waved his hands coolly and said:
"Uncle, this is not a big deal, it is a very small matter.

Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning! "

Of course, what he said was trivial, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the pride on his face.

This is also because Xun Yu is his family.

That's why he won't deliberately restrain his emotions.

If there were others around him, no matter how proud he was, he would not show it so obviously when he talked about it.

Xun You still has this bit of skill.

Hearing Xun You's words, Xun Yu couldn't help but reach out and rub his face.

This matter made him not know how to speak for a moment.

"That Gongda, this thing... is indeed very good, and it can be called a great gift.

only……"

“Since it’s a great gift, it’s no problem.

I don’t want any reward here, I just want to come to Cao Gong’s place to do something, so I can give you a gift as a token of recognition.

The rest, no ideas.

Uncle, you don’t have to feel any embarrassment because of this matter. "

Xun You waved his hand and said to Xun Yu.

He looked very reasonable.

Such a reaction made Xun Yu even more uncomfortable.

At that moment, I made up my mind and decided to tell the matter clearly so as not to let this misunderstanding continue.

If Xun You didn't expose this matter himself, it would be a lot of fun for Xun You to directly give this to his lord as a treasure.

"Gongda, things are different from what you think. This is indeed a great gift and an extremely important thing.

If you could bring it up a few days ago, it would definitely play an extremely important role and be of extraordinary significance.

The Lord will definitely be very happy after seeing this great gift. "

Xun You had already noticed at this time that things were a little different.

Hearing what Xun Yu said, he nodded immediately.

He felt the same way.

"If that's the case, then why does your expression seem wrong, uncle?

Tell me this specifically.

Could it be that something went wrong in this matter? "

Xun You nodded and said:
"Indeed, because before you, this great gift has been given to the lord by someone."

Hearing Xun Yu's words, Xun You was stunned for an instant.

"There is still such a thing?!"

Even a smart man like Xun You was completely shattered by what Xun Yu said at this time.

My whole person was filled with extreme disbelief, and my head felt dizzy.

Someone actually gave the charcoal to Cao Cao first, before he could?
This...this charcoal is rare.

Only where some coal exists.

Moreover, even where charcoal exists, few people know that this thing can be used for burning.

How come this was given to Cao Cao in advance?
This is a gift that I carefully prepared!
For this reason, I was excited all the way, feeling that this time I would definitely be able to make a splash and shine!

It was precisely because of finding this great gift that he came to see Cao Cao at this time.

But the result... turned out to be such a result!
"Uncle, are you...is what you said true?"

Xun You couldn't help but look at Xun Yu and asked to confirm again.

Although he knew that his uncle would never lie, let alone make fun of him on such a big matter.

But now, he can't accept this result.

Therefore, I couldn't help but confirm it again.

Xun Yu nodded and said:

“It’s true, this was really done in advance.

And now, Cao Gong has begun to organize manpower to start large-scale mining, and has begun to teach the people how to use charcoal.

I'm afraid it won't take too long before people in many places can use charcoal. "

After getting the confirmed answer from Xun Yu, Xun You felt bad all over and felt his head was buzzing.

Then he remembered the shocked look on his uncle's face not long ago when he heard him say charcoal and took out the charcoal.

It turned out that my uncle's shock was not because he had found charcoal.

You can give a great gift to Duke Cao.

It's entirely because someone has given this thing away in advance.

It can be said that this time, I am completely off the mark!

Even though Xun You's concentration was very good, he had already developed his coolness.

But thinking about this, and thinking about his demeanor, tone, and mood at that time, I couldn't help but blush a little.

This is so embarrassing!

It’s really too embarrassing!
Of course, after this embarrassment, I also felt a little weird.

After all, the timing was too good for this matter.

"I wonder which skilled craftsman gave Mr. Cao this great gift?"

Xun You looked at Xun Yu and asked.

Xun Yu said:

"Not a skilled craftsman.

You most likely know his name.

It’s nothing else but Zhang Cheng and Zhang Gaojiu. "

"what?!"

"It's actually Zhang Chengzhang's outstanding achievement? And this Zhang Chengzhang's outstanding achievement?!"

After Xun You heard Xun Yu's words, he felt bad and looked shocked.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Just as Xun You said, he also knew Zhang Cheng's name.

And heard it many times.

Even the place where he lives in seclusion is relatively remote.

But he also heard a lot about this famous name.

In recent times, it can be described as thunderous.

He invented the curved shaft plow, implemented the field substitution method, and various other measures.

This led to a great increase in grain production under Cao Cao's rule.

He also formulated a benevolent strategy for Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao could move forward in Xuzhou and win Xuzhou without any suspense.

Moreover, when Zhang Miao, Chen Gong, Lu Bu and others wanted to capture Yanzhou, they stepped forward and turned the tide of the battle.

Later, there was even something like Cao Cao marrying his daughter to him.

During this period of time, he was almost hearing Zhang Cheng's name, and his ears were calloused.

I have thought about it more than once. After coming to Yanzhou Cao Cao, I must see this successful person no matter what.

But who would have thought that just after arriving here, he would hear Zhang Cheng's name again.

And this piece of Cheng also did such a thing.

This... How come Zhang Cheng can do everything, and he can be found everywhere?
It doesn't matter if he is good at literature and martial arts, leading troops in battles and farming, but how come he... he can even do this?

At this time, Xun You realized how Guo Jia felt before.

It's very empathetic.

“He not only produced the coal, but also produced other supporting equipment.

For example, briquettes are made from coal.

There is also a coal stove.

It can make coal more useful.

At the same time, it also solves some hazards that may occur when burning coal.

Solve the fatal flaws of coal and make coal easy to use instead of a life-threatening thing..."

As Xun Yu spoke, Xun You seemed a little confused.

What is this briquette?
Why is there a special coal stove? What is this? !
Why does it sound so advanced? ?

Xun Yu knew this and couldn't explain it for a while.

Immediately he took Xun You into his room and asked him to look at the coal stove.

This time, Zhang Cheng came over from Chen Liu and brought several coal stoves.

If Cao Cao keeps one, Xun Yu can naturally get one as well.

At this time, the briquettes were already burning in the coal stove.

There is also a special tube connection to allow the burned gas to be discharged directly outside the house.

There is no peculiar smell in the room.

And on top of the coal stove, there is a kettle.

The water in the kettle is already boiling and steaming.

It looks very good.

Especially in the winter, seeing such a scene makes people feel very warm.

Xun You studied the coal stove carefully. After looking at the briquettes, he finally couldn't help but sigh.

"This is a great achievement. He is really a great talent!"

I originally thought that he got this coal just like me, it was just a fluke.

But after seeing this coal stove and briquettes and the like.

Only then did Xun You realize that the other party was definitely not just lucky.

I looked one step back on this matter, but the other party saw two steps back on this matter, or even three steps back!
Especially after hearing what Xun Yu said, people could easily die if coal was burned incorrectly, and I admired him even more.

At the same time, I couldn't help it, I was full of joy.

Fortunately, this matter was resolved by Zhang Cheng.

I only knew that this charcoal could burn, but I didn't know that it had this fatal flaw!

Otherwise, if we just send it directly and let Cao Cao carry out large-scale implementation under his rule, then the matter will be really big.

As smart as he is, he can easily figure out what will happen once Cao Cao gets coal and a big problem arises, and many people die.

Originally, this would be a good thing that would win the hearts of the people.

But once someone dies, it's counterproductive.

The so-called great gift that I presented will definitely make Cao Cao miserable, and I will definitely become a sinner!

"Uncle, I want to go to Chenliu County to meet Zhang Cheng and Zhang Gaojiu."

Xun You looked at Xun Yu and said this.

"Such a strange man, it would be a pity not to meet him."

Originally, according to Xun You's idea, he came to Cao Cao's side, made a big splash, and then went to see Zhang Cheng when he was free.But now, after experiencing something like this, he couldn't sit still for a moment.

I can't wait to see Zhang Cheng.

"Gongda, you came at the wrong time.

Gao was still here in Zhencheng yesterday, and left Zhencheng at ten o'clock yesterday afternoon.

If you could come a day earlier, you could see Gao Jie directly. "

After hearing Xun Yu's words, Xun You felt even more regretful.

Xun Yu thought for a moment, looked at Xun You and said:

"Gongda, when you come here, if you don't go to see Cao Gong first, you go to see Zhang Cheng first. I'm afraid there's something wrong with this, right?"

Xun You said:

"It's true that something is not good, but... just after experiencing this.

I didn’t want to do anything but see Zhang Cheng right away.

And when I came this time, I didn’t make any big fanfare to alert anyone.

Thinking about it, Mr. Cao probably didn’t know about it.

Even if he really knew it, I'm afraid Mr. Cao wouldn't be blamed.

If his energy is so small, then it's okay not to assist him. "

After saying that, he stood up to say goodbye and immediately couldn't wait to see Zhang Cheng.

Xun Yu asked him to rest here for a while, but he refused to leave again.

Seeing that my nephew, who used to be tepid in doing things, turned out to be like this.

Xun Yu couldn't help it and felt a little complicated.

This has to be a high-level job!

Before anyone even saw him, he had already made his eldest nephew look like this.

But thinking about what happened to Xun You, he could understand Xun You's mood at this time and his current behavior.

Therefore, he did not forcibly stop him, but immediately wrote a letter and asked Xun You to take it to see Zhang Cheng again.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings due to lack of time.

Xun You took Xun Yu's letter and put it in his arms. He couldn't wait to get in the carriage and send people to Chenliu County quickly.

Less than half an hour after Xun You left, Cao Cao came to Xun Yu's side.

Cao Cao's mood is very good now.

Because he had received a secret report and knew that Xun Yu's eldest nephew Xun You was here.

Cao Cao naturally knew Xun You.

After all, when the world was not in chaos, they all grew up in Luoyang and became officials.

Moreover, the Xun family of Yingchuan was also a large family.

Xun You is the young leader of the Xun family, so he naturally knows about it and has been coveting it for a long time.

It's just that there has been no way to get Xun You under his command and let Xun You do things for him.

Now I know that Xun You actually came to Xun Yu.

He couldn't wait for a moment.

He immediately came to Xun Yu.

I want to see Xun You and express my admiration for him.

Showing his thirst for talent, he wanted to use this method to retain Xun You.

For those who are truly talented, Boss Cao is also really able to show off his face and figure.

Of course, the biggest prerequisite for doing this is that you really have the talent.

And can do practical things.

Rather than having a false reputation or being a talkative king.

As a result, after he hurried all the way to Xun Yu in an excited mood, he came to nothing.

Xun You has already left!
"Gongda is already gone? Where did he go?"

Cao Cao was very surprised.

Xun Yu had no choice but to inform Cao Cao about what happened before.

In this regard, he didn't think there was anything to hide.

Although Xun You came to see Cao Cao this time, the big gift he prepared collided with Zhang Cheng.

But this is enough to show that Xun You's excellence and intention can also gain a lot of favor.

After hearing Xun Yu tell the cause of the incident.

Even Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned for a long time.

I didn't expect this to be such a coincidence!

The last time Guo Jia came, his plan ran into Zhang Cheng's, but this time it was Xun You who ran into Zhang Cheng again.

This good son-in-law of his really makes him look good and is the nemesis of his advisers!
I think after what his son-in-law did, Xun You will definitely be very honest in the future.

At least he won't be particularly arrogant, just like Guo Jia was back then.

Cao Cao felt happy when he thought of this.

Thinking again that Zhang Cheng was already his son-in-law, his mood became even more beautiful, full of honor.

Although he felt that it was somewhat regretful that he could not meet Xun You right away.

However, when I thought that Xun You went to see Zhang Cheng, and also went to see Zhang Cheng for such a reason, my heart became even more beautiful.

I think based on Gaojiu's talent, Xun You will admire him even more when he sees him.

It can sharpen Xun You's temperament very well and make these people less arrogant.

From now on, do better on your own side.

Also inspired by this, Cao Cao was wondering for a while whether there would be any advisers coming from his side in the future.

Let him first meet Zhang Cheng and have some contact with Zhang Cheng.

Give them some, and after being slightly shocked by your own son-in-law, you can reuse him.

He is totally going to make Zhang Cheng.Use it as a touchstone...

……

In Cao Cao's backyard, a female doll carved in pink and jade was standing in the courtyard.

Because of the cold weather, the breath she exhaled was filled with white mist.

The two little faces turned red from the cold.

Wearing a pair of pink gloves on her hands, they are very beautiful.

She cherishes this pair of gloves very much and can't put them down.

Beside her, there were two girls who were much older than him.

These two girls, who were much older than him, were in their prime.

They looked at such a seven or eight-year-old little girl with envy.

To be precise, I was very envious when I looked at the pink gloves the little girl was wearing.

These three people are naturally Cao Cao's three daughters Cao Hua, Cao Xian and Cao Jie

They have already tried on these gloves, and they feel warm on their hands. No matter how cold the weather is, they don't feel cold.

It's also furry, warm and caring.

Extremely comfortable.

"Sister, when I see Mr. Zhang next time, I will ask Mr. Zhang to give each of you a pair."

Cao Jie was very generous in this matter.

After hearing what Cao Jie said, Cao Xian and Cao Hua were very surprised.

But soon, Cao Xian shook his head and said:
"It still doesn't work. This thing was given to you by Mr. Zhang.

You will marry Mr. Zhang as your wife from now on.

There is already an engagement between you, so it is of great significance for him to give you these gloves.

What does it mean for the two of us to collect Mr. Zhang's gloves? "

Hearing what Cao Xian said, Cao Hua also looked a little sad.

She also felt that Cao Xian was right.

"Yes! This is given to you by your future husband-in-law, and it has a different meaning.

The relationship between us and Mr. Zhang is not like this.

You can't ask for the gloves given by Mr. Zhang. "

After hearing what his two sisters said, Xiao Caojie couldn't help but frown.

She could tell that her two sisters were very envious of her gloves.

I also really want to own a pair of gloves like this.

Moreover, he was also very moved by his previous proposal.

It's just because of this that I don't dare to actually ask for gloves.

After doing this for a while, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Cao Jie's face.

She looked at Cao Xian and Cao Hua and said:

"Sister, I have thought of a solution.

This method is very good, it can be said to be the best of both worlds! "

After hearing Cao Jie's words, Cao Hua and Cao Xian couldn't help but perked up.

"Tell me, what is the solution?"

The two of them couldn't wait to look at Cao Jie.

Cao Jie said:
"It's very simple. I am Mr. Zhang's fiancée, so Mr. Zhang can give it to me.

What if the two sisters are the same and become Mr. Zhang’s fiancee.

Wouldn't it be possible for Mr. Zhang to give gloves to the two sisters?

Isn’t it reasonable for you to accept Mr. Zhang’s gloves? "

After saying this, Cao Jie's face was filled with pride.

I feel very happy that I came up with such a best-of-both-worlds solution.

"And in this case, the three of us can live together forever in the future and never have to separate. How great is that."

Listen to what Cao Jie said, and look at the extremely proud look on Cao Jie's face. Come and praise her expression.

Cao Hua and Cao Xian both made a big fuss.

The two of them are different from the younger Cao Jie.

Cao Jie is in a state of confusion about marriage and many other things.

But they are several years older.

In addition, girls mature earlier, so girls in this era get married very early.

Cao Xian and Cao Hua were born into a family like the Cao family, so their experiences were naturally different.

"What are you talking nonsense about?

How can we marry the same person.

Even if...even if we agree, grandpa and grandma will never agree. "

Cao Hua said this.

Cao Xian also nodded: "You can't say such things again.

Otherwise, if others hear it, they will laugh. "

Cao Jie still didn't understand why his two sisters rejected his wonderful proposal.

In his opinion, this proposal was very normal and perfect.

After Cao Xian and Cao Hua told Cao Jie not to say that again in the future, they couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In other words, in their hearts, they were actually very excited about Cao Jie's proposal.

How many girls in their prime are not pregnant?

They all have a very beautiful imagination about their husbands, and they all want to marry a good husband.

And recently, Zhang Cheng, who has suddenly emerged and shined, has obviously become the object of love for countless girls.

Cao Xian and Cao Hua naturally ignored him.

Moreover, because of their higher status, they have access to more information.

You know how talented Mr. Zhang Gaojiu is.

It is precisely because he knows more that he feels better about Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng becomes more and more obsessed.

After all, this person is successful, no matter in terms of age, appearance, or other aspects.

Those are the people who are only one in a million, or even a hundred thousand, or a million.

The attraction to them is really too great.

It's a pity that my grandfather actually betrothed Jie'er to Mr. Gao Jiu.

But he did not betroth one of the two of them to Mr. Gaojiu.

Thinking about this, they felt extremely regretful.

And envied Cao Jie.

Compared with them, Cao Jie is really lucky!

Thinking like this, the two of them couldn't help but think of Cao Jie's proposal just now.

Although Cao Jie is ignorant and childish.

But it caused waves in their hearts.

Even they told Cao Jie not to say that right away.

But this incident still brought a lot of impact to them.

The thoughts of both of them couldn't help but come alive.

I can't help but think about it, if this thing really happens, how great it would be if all three of me marry Mr. Zhang Gaojiu!
After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't help but feel shy and guilty.

They all looked at each other.

As a result, I happened to look at each other.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then quickly turned their gazes aside, their faces already turning red...

……

In a place where steel is smelted in Chenliu County, a fire is burning.

White smoke columns drifted out along the chimney.

It looks particularly conspicuous in this winter day.

It's cold everywhere else, but it's hot here.

Some people were even sweating profusely and steaming all over their bodies.

There was a clanking sound.

At the same time, further inside, you can see people busy here.

Some people use burdens here to carry charcoal and other things, while others carry iron ore.

In some places, cattle and horses are used to pull carts for transportation.

At this time, Zhang Cheng was standing next to a steel-making furnace that was obviously different from this era.

There were many people around. At this time, everyone was looking forward to the steel-making furnace in front of them.

After a while, someone started to open the door.

Then bright red molten iron flowed out, and the heat was overwhelming.

Everyone was staring at these with great anticipation.

You know, most of those present are people who often smelt steel.

Generally speaking, when the steel comes out of the furnace, they are very indifferent and don't make a fuss at all.

But things are different now. The iron today is smelted using the new method provided by Zhang Cheng.

Several experiments have been conducted before, and certain changes have been made based on the previous results.

Today's furnace, if nothing unexpected happens, is likely to reach the level mentioned by Mr. Zhang Gaojiu.

Therefore, everyone present was excited and couldn't wait to see the best results as soon as possible.

After some waiting, final calculations, weighing, etc., we finally got a result.

That is, the output of this iron is really [-] to [-]% more than before!

Faced with such a result, everyone suddenly became excited!

Looking at Zhang Cheng, he seemed to be looking at a god.

And it was at this moment that Xun You came to Chenliu County.

And after some questioning, I found out where Zhang Cheng was.

We are not far away from Zhang Cheng...
