Hu Wancang frowned.

He didn't believe a word these people said.

Just when he was about to continue to make things difficult for Cao Xiu, Xiao He took half a step forward and said, "Jun, after Xiu'er picked up this silk, she went to the temple craftsman to make it for testing. She didn't sleep for the past two days, so she personally helped to polish it.

Plowing has great benefits in farming and should be rewarded heavily!"

"Um..."

Hu Wancang hesitated for a moment.

Then, Cao Shen also took half a step forward.

"County Lord, this matter is of great importance. We should quickly submit this plow to the county guard, who will make a decision and verify it before submitting it to the internal history. This matter should not be delayed, and we hope that the county Lord will make a quick decision!"<

/p>

Cao Xiu's face turned red when he heard the praise. In fact, he had eaten well and slept well these past two days. As long as he explained the size and proportion to the temple master clearly, it would be easy for them to restore it, and he didn't need to worry at all.
p>

I have to say, it’s great to have a backer!

Even if Hu Wancang wanted to make him look bad, he still had to think about it.

At this time, Qin Shihuang also came out and said coldly: "In the past, when the Shang Dynasty was reforming, it was stipulated that all counties, counties and temples must complete their work on the same day, and there must be no delay. It is said: Those who rule by day will be king, and those who rule by night will be strong.

, those who treat it with old habits will be cut!"

"Who is this son?"

"He is an orphan raised by me. Please don't be offended by the county magistrate."

Cao Xiu quickly stepped forward and covered Azheng's mouth.

How dare you say it, you’re going to die?!

What is your kid’s identity and you don’t have any idea?

If something goes wrong, everything will be over!

But Cao Xiu can also understand that this is all because of the hatred of the family and the country. Azheng's whole family was killed by the Qin people, so he naturally has no good impression of the Qin officials. Seeing their arrogance and arrogance, he naturally had to go up and say something.<

/p>

This young man is very energetic, which is normal.

Qin Shi Huang is now itching his teeth with hatred.

Who is this Hu Wancang?

How dare you show off in front of him?!

Close the door and let Wang Jian go!

……

"Humph!"

"This order has its own discretion in doing things."

Hu Wancang waved his hand with great momentum.

Xiao He immediately raised his hands and bowed.

"The county gentleman is wise!"

"I have ordered you to take this plow away first. After verification, it will be submitted to the county governor. If it is approved by the county governor, it will be rewarded to you."

"Thank you, Mr. County!"

Cao Xiu also raised his hands to bow.

Hu Wancang is a good-looking person, but although he has many talents, he does not have many talents. He will be a county magistrate for the rest of his life, and he will not be promoted even if he works for another ten years. If Peixian County had not been supported by capable officials such as Xiao He and Cao Shen, Hu Wancang would have been a county magistrate.

Wu Cang was fucked off early.

Then Xia Houying started busy working, humming and lifting the plow onto the carriage. After winking at Cao Xiu, he waved his whip and drove away.

"Huh..."

Cao Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this matter is over.

At this time, Wang Ling came up and said with a smile: "Xiu'er really opened my eyes today. This plow is of great use to farmers and the country!"

"Ahem, I picked this up too..."

"Picked it up? Hahaha!"

Wang Ling couldn't help but laugh heartily.

He found Cao Xiu more and more interesting. He didn't stick to etiquette, he was always unexpected, but he managed to get everything done. Now that the world is unified, what we need are Qin officials who are capable and flexible.

.

The reason is very simple, the First Emperor was just such a person.

He never sticks to ancient methods in doing things, and his writings and writings follow the same track, and he does things that his predecessors did not dare to do. He abolished the law of enfeoffment, prefectures and counties, and posthumous titles... The most annoying thing is that the past is not the present.

Qin officials like Cao Xiu are very suitable. As long as they perform well, they will definitely be able to join Xianyang as a court official. In time, they will be ranked among the three ministers and nine ministers, and it is possible to become a prime minister and a marquis.

The key is that Cao Xiu has been hiding it all the time. This guy's head is full of treasures, and if he takes out any of them at will, they will benefit a lot.

Wang Ling sighed secretly in his heart.

It's a pity that his daughters are already married, otherwise they would definitely marry Cao Xiu, even if it is as a concubine. He would accept Cao Xiu as a concubine. Holding tightly to the potential of Cao Xiu will be of great benefit to their future development.

"I really picked it up..."

Cao Xiu refused to let go.

"You don't have to hide it, we all know it."

"Well, I can't hide it from you." Cao Xiu spread his hands and said as if he was resigned to his fate: "Actually, I have a friend, and this silk is what my friend wanted."

"What's your friend's name?"

"Cao Cao."

"???"

"..."

Qin Shihuang's mouth twitched as he listened.

Why is this name so weird?

……

……

Cao Zhai.

Cao Xiu personally poured wine for Xiao He and Cao Shen.

There is a dazzling array of dishes on the table.

Xiao He picked up a piece of fried golden glutinous rice cake, which was covered with brown syrup. He bit into it gently, and it was crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside. The soft and glutinous texture combined with the sweetness of brown sugar made him full of praise.

Cao Xiu's other skills aside, his cooking skills are definitely top-notch. After his instructions, the chefs in the house cook quite delicious meals.

"Well...this brown sugar glutinous rice cake is still very delicious."

Cao Shen also picked up the pieces, chewed them slowly and nodded.

Not to mention the glutinous rice cake, it was made by a concubine in Cao Xiu's house. As for the brown sugar, it is simple. It is made from extracted sugar cane juice. There is naturally sugar cane these days, but most of it is concentrated in the south. For example, Qu Yuan once wrote: For rice, rice, millet and wheat, take yellow beams. For turtles and cannons, take some pulp.

Zhejiang pulp is actually sugar cane juice.

Sugar these days is a luxury product, and it has always been said that it is delicious. Xiao He has a private workshop that specializes in brewing brown sugar according to Cao Xiu's method. Cao Xiu does not have to do anything, and can get 50% of the profit.

It's just that the output is really limited, and the money earned is not that much. The sugar cane in Peixian County is all green-skinned sugar cane, which seems to be very suitable for making sugar, but the sugar content is incomparable with later artificially cultivated varieties.< /p>

"Xiu'er, it seems you've made your decision?"

Cao Shen put down the wine bottle and spoke lightly. His temper was still a little impatient. He could guess what Cao Xiu did after seeing it. It was a dangerous move and a lively move. For Cao Xiu, More beneficial.

"Yes."

"Alas..." Chief Cao sighed, "If you join the Qin Dynasty, if one day you really cooperate with those people to overthrow the Qin State, you will definitely be regarded as a Qin traitor and be reviled by countless Qin people. In my opinion, you are better off. Well done to you and submit to Qin!"

"Actually, that's what I mean too."

Xiao He nodded silently.

"Ah?!"

Cao Xiu was dumbfounded.

Isn't Xiao He's change of attitude so fast?

That’s not what you said a few days ago!
Chapter completed!
