Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 131 Boss Cao's Eldest Son and Missy

Hearing Taifu's inquiry, Xun Shuang thumped slightly.

The dispute between Taifu and Taishi was well known to the government and the public, and this was also the reason why he had not been recruited before, but General He Jin sent a special bus to recruit him, and reluctantly went to Beijing to take up his post.

In just one year, the situation in the Eastern Capital was volatile, and Xun Shuang was able to get through it safely by following the trend cautiously.

Now, Zhi Jinwu has just shown his love, and the Taifu came after smelling it. It can be seen that in a place of right and wrong, it is inevitable to become a right and wrong person.

"Taifu's tea looks good."

After taking a sip of the clear soup and clear water, Xun Shuang adjusted his sitting posture and said with a smile, "The Taifu's chair is also very good."

Yuan Ji said again: "Yongzhou, Sanhan, Dongyi, Qiongya, Jiaozhi, Dongying, Western Regions, Xianbei, and Nanyang. The vast territory of the Han Dynasty has never been seen in ancient times."

"The Empress Dowager, the eunuch, the Grand Master, the Taiwei, the Shaofu, the Chariot General, Yu Shi Zhongcheng, Wang Shizhong, and You Bingliang are all in their hands. There are 10 troops under his command, and there are fierce generals like clouds."

Xun Shuang pretended to be confused and asked, "Could it be that the Grand Tutor thinks that some people want to do something wrong?"

Yuan Ji laughed, shook his head and said, "No! Today is not the same as yesterday. The emperor ascended the throne with Huo Yi. You can know what color this big man will be tomorrow?"

Xun Shuang was silent.

Yuan Ji's meaning is very clear: Today's big man is changing with each passing day, and most of the changes come from Liu Bei. What's more dangerous is that the opponent is strong and powerful, manipulating power.

He thought that the other party voted for the emperor almost on his own, played with the two empress dowagers and all the officials wantonly, and launched troops to conquer the Quartet with one word.

Once this kind of heroic character who rises rapidly from the bottom is out of control, the consequences will be unbearable.

For aristocratic families like the Yuan family and the Xun family, they don't really mind who is the emperor, but the premise is that their core interests must not be damaged.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that many of Yongzhou's actions are gradually eliminating the privileges of the powerful and aristocratic families, or giving ordinary people a chance to compete fairly.

The Xun family is full of talents, officials, scholars, businessmen, and land-occupiers, which make the family's life very nourishing.

No matter how much Xun Shuang sympathizes with the common people and approves of Liu Bei's words and deeds, as a member of the family, it is absolutely impossible for him to betray the family and class.

What's more, he is 62 years old this year, he is already considered an advanced age, and he has reached the stage of burning for the juniors.

"Teacher's concerns are not unreasonable, and Xun is willing to do his best!"

Yuan Ji smiled.

Human nature seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, no matter what era it is in.

Don't look at Liu Bei's domineering and commanding, unlimited scenery, but Muxiu will be destroyed by the wind in the forest.

Once the world's dignitaries unite, this legendary uncle will die without a place to die!

After Xun Shuang left, Yuan Ji thought about handing over banknotes and bonds again. Subconsciously, he was always worried that this was a trap carefully designed by Liu Bei.

Of course, with Xun Shuang as the internal support, Uncle Liu's fox tail is destined to be unable to escape his own eagle eyes.

"Let Ah Jiu come."

Yuan Santing understood that Ah Jiu, that is, Yuan Jiuling, was the speaker of Nanfang Bank.

Nanfang Bank was jointly established by the Jiangnan Consortium in name, but in fact the Yuan family monopolized [-]% of the shares, and Yuan Ji was the real controller.

In the first year of Guangxi, the seventh day of August.

Kuaiji, the naval port of the Yongzhou Navy.

Cai He and Cao Ang met Xia Houyuan and Cao Wan who had rushed forward.

"Xiao Wan, why are you here?"

Surprised and delighted, Cao Ang stepped forward and circled around the eldest sister, as if trying to tell the truth from the fake.

"Bah! What big and small bowls? Don't they have a name? Besides, if you can come, why can't I come?"

Cao Ang laughed loudly, glanced at Second Uncle Xiahou, and asked, "Okay, Xiao Wan. If I can come, so can Xiao Wan! Tell me, how did you sneak out without telling your parents?"

While watching the majestic ships in the military port, Cao Wan boasted triumphantly: "Cut, how can such a trivial matter stop me? Use a little trick! If you call Xiaowan again, I will get angry!"

"Ah, you must pay attention in the future, Xiaowan, I'll take you to the warship, it's very interesting!"

Cao Wan rolled her eyes at the idiot brother, but she couldn't get angry after all, after all, she really wanted to visit the warship.

"Second Uncle, Lao Cai, talk slowly, let's go!"

Cao Ang believed that if he could convince Cai He, then Cai He would be able to convince Second Uncle Xiahou.

After all, he is the eldest son of the Cao family, so he can basically be regarded as the eldest son.

Seeing a pair of golden boys and girls running happily towards the warship, Xia Houyuan was so speechless that he could only convey Cao Cao's password to Cai He.

Unexpectedly, Cai He flatly refused.

"Forgive the hardship!"

"What?" Xia Houyuan was stunned, how dare you disobey?

"Brother Miaocai, please sit down!"

Xia Houyuan sat down sullenly, and asked impatiently: "What do you have to say, let go! I have to return to Hanzhong to return to my life!"

"Don't go back, let's go to Nanyang together."

Xia Houyuan, who was just next to the stool, jumped up and said in astonishment, "Are you crazy?"

Cai He laughed and said, "Isn't Miao always steady? Why can't you hold your breath?"

"Stop talking nonsense, what the hell are you doing?"

Cai He asked: "Who do you think speaks in your house?"

Xia Houyuan just wanted to get angry, but felt that the other party was obviously not an idiot, so he deliberately said: "Don't think about it, madam also means the same."

"Ah, Miaocai misunderstood, I mean, how about taking a long-term view?"

Xia Houyuan understood, he was very angry and funny, let the hairy boy fool him, you still have the nerve to be the commander of the navy?

"Miaocai, don't look at me like that, think about it again, it's better to keep young master Ang at home, or go to Nanyang to fight and see blood?"

Huh?
Xia Houyuan hesitated, and sat down slowly.

I have to say that this is very reasonable, and it is indeed related to the Cao family's century-old plan.

But if you run for nothing, you won't be able to return to your life.

"This and that."

Cai He understood what the other party was struggling with, so he said: "Madam indeed regards the son as her life, but the lord is wise and wise, we will do it cheaply: you will be out, and your life will not be tolerated!"

Xia Houyuan asked suddenly: "This trip, what if something goes wrong?"

Cai He said with a smile: "That's why I invited Brother Miaocai to join us. The navy master is the only one who looks after you!"

"shit!"

Xia Houyuan, who was not good at water, rolled his eyes and didn't bother to talk to this guy.

"When people come here, you can tell Hanzhong."

Abandoning Cai He, Xia Houyuan rushed to the warship, and he was really worried if he didn't look at it.

Taking his eldest sister aboard the battleship Suzaku, Cao Ang began to present treasures, introducing the functions of various facilities as he walked.

On a hot day, almost all the sailors on the warship were shirtless, and in the cabins below decks, everyone only wore a loincloth.

Therefore, Cao Ang only took Cao Wan to visit the deck and the captain's room.

In the captain's room, the eldest son shouted to the inner cabin through the messenger microphone.

"I'm Cao Ang, young and old, put on your pants, and I'll bring my sister down to observe later."

Whoa!
Knowing that the eldest lady is coming down for a visit, there was a burst of rummaging in the lower cabin, and each put on shorts and vests.

After receiving the response from below, the inner cabin was ready, so Cao Ang took his sister down to the cabin.

Paddle room, paddler area, galley mess, watertight cargo hold, and even a look into the sailors' quarters.

After stepping on paddle wheel pedals, pulling long oars, and eating seafood, Xiao Cao Wan has a general understanding of the most advanced warships in the world.

Climbing up to the deck again, Cao Ang pointed to the big killer on the turret, and said: "Awan, there is one at the bow and stern of this ballista ship, which can fire barb ballista. Anyone who encounters a cargo ship at sea will never be spared."

Cao Wan pointed to the criss-crossed sail ropes and asked, "Why are there so many ropes?"

"Sail rope, now entering the port, dozens of sails are all furled."

Inadvertently, Cao Wan discovered that a short sailor skilfully slipped down from the main mast, handed the binoculars to his teammates, and immediately jumped into the sea.

"Ah, he jumped!"

Cao Ang introduced again: "They are the lookouts. They have been sunburnt, and they are cool off in the sea! They are the eyes of the fleet, and they must be on duty even if they are parked."

After speaking, he handed the telescope in his arms to his sister: "They use this to observe the enemy's situation on the sea surface."

Stepping onto the front of the Suzaku, Cao Wan raised her binoculars and observed the ships of other navy divisions.

"oops!"

Cao Wan suddenly let out an exclamation.
