Chapter 964 Relaxed Boss Cao

At this time, in the palace of Xuchang.

Cao Cao had just finished the morning court and was about to read today's newspaper after dinner.

Suddenly, a eunuch came to report:

"Your Majesty, Lord Jiang Wei wants to see you."

Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned.

Good guy, a rare guest!

Jiang Wei has always been a loner. He usually does his job well and never oversteps his authority or abuses his duties.

But he usually doesn't communicate with other people, except Deng Ai and Xun Yu and Xun You.

This is the first time that Jiang Wei has taken the initiative to come to him since he became an official.

"Call."

Cao Cao waved his hand while drinking porridge and eating duck neck.

"Yes."

The eunuch received the order and hurried to the door to summon Jiang Wei.

"Hahahaha, Bo Yue?"

"Rare guest, rare guest."

"What's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Cao Cao said with a smile while eating.

Cao Cao liked Jiang Wei and Deng Ai from the bottom of his heart.

These two people are worthy of being the disciples favored by the master.

No matter what tasks are given to them, as long as they know how to do it, they can do it perfectly, and there is almost no fault to pick out.

Moreover, the martial arts of the two are not weak.

Especially Jiang Wei, who has such superb martial arts at such a young age, really amazed Cao Cao.

Cao Cao wished that the whole court was full of such useful ministers.

But unfortunately, it was very good to have 20% of the civil and military officials in the court like Jiang Wei.

Except for the generals and military advisors who often fought on the battlefield with him, Cao Cao could not bear to see other people and would not believe them.

In Cao Cao's eyes, they were no different from those who came to eat and drink for free.

"Your Majesty, Hanzhong Hou has already negotiated with Meng Huo in Nanman, but Meng Huo has a request. Hanzhong Hou specially sent a letter, please take a look at it."

Jiang Wei said neither servile nor arrogant, and then handed the letter in his hand to the eunuch beside Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this:

"Mr.'s letter?"

"Then the barbarians in Nanzhong, do you want to put forward conditions?"

While speaking, Cao Cao took the letter and read it carefully.

Bai Feng wrote it very simply.

He wrote down Meng Huo's request, and in exchange, what benefits would Meng Huo bring to Wei.

Then, Bai Feng also weighed the pros and cons.

In short, taking in the entire Nanzhong has more advantages than disadvantages.

Although the terrain of Nanzhong is rugged, it is also suitable for growing some special crops, and there are many resources.

What's more, after Nanzhong is recruited, it will be a very comfortable thing for Bashu.

As for the disadvantages, it is nothing more than spending more time.

Moreover, it is just right to take advantage of Meng Huo to inform the 72 cave masters of the news and see how these cave masters react.

Those who are unwilling to do it and have a tendency to war can be directly dealt with, which is harmless.

As for those stubborn elements, just let them see the grain production.

"Is it that simple?"

Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned.

Can this matter be solved by an imperial edict and announced to the world?

"Pass on my oral order!"

Cao Cao made a prompt decision and gave the order to announce the imperial edict to the world.

Meng Huo's request was very simple for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao really didn't want to waste time on the various ethnic groups in the south.

It would be best if there was no war.

The current Wei Dynasty likes nothing more than not fighting and developing honestly.

There are too many places that Wei needs to develop.

Although most of the prefectures and counties are basically the same as Hanzhong.

But for Wei Dynasty, there are still some troubles.

The most important thing is some minor details.

Food can be developed, but roads are a big problem.

There are too many roads to be built, and Bai Feng recently gave Cao Cao some concept drawings of railways.

This immediately aroused Cao Cao's interest.

Originally, Cao Cao planned to build all roads.

This road is very useful, mainly because it is cheap to make and can make money.

In addition, the road is of great help to Wei Dynasty.

With the highway, it will not be troublesome to travel from one state to another.

This cement is a good thing.

It's a pity that asphalt can't be made.

Ever since Cao Cao heard Bai Feng talk about asphalt, he was particularly curious about what this thing looks like and what it does.

It's a pity that even if Bai Feng gave the blueprint, it is really impossible to make it with the current level of Wei.

However, sometimes Cao Cao is also very curious about how many secrets Bai Feng still has hidden and how he has so many good things.

It is obviously unlikely that all of them were given by the immortal.

Therefore, Cao Cao attributed all of it to Bai Feng's mind.

Only an absolutely smart mind can come up with such a useful and practical thing.

In fact, Cao Cao didn't want to care about Nanzhong at the beginning.

Let them do it if Nanzhong is in turmoil. If it doesn't make a big fuss, it won't be a big deal.

If it makes a big fuss, just send troops to push it over.

If it was in the past, Cao Cao would definitely not be so confident.

After all, Nanzhong is not a place that is easy to attack.

However, Cao Cao now has more than 1.2 million soldiers under his command, and the number is still expanding.

Cao Cao does not intend to stop expanding his troops.

Only when there are more troops can the national strength of Wei be strong.

But Cao Cao is not a warmongerer.

The premise of all this is that the national treasury of Wei is sufficient.

But how can the national treasury of Wei be spent now?

Bai Feng gave a resource distribution map, and he just sent people to dig.

What gold mines, silver mines, coal mines, etc., although not as much as you want, but there are some.

Cao Cao now has basically no worries, and he wanders around the palace all day long.

There has been no war on the border for a long time.

Cao Cao is not in a hurry to expand.

After the Nanman was completely conquered, the entire Central Plains was completely unified, and there was no other force.

The surrounding foreign tribes sent letters of surrender one after another, wanting to submit to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao did not respond, and they thought it was tacit consent, and obediently sent tribute.

For a time, Wei quickly became the most powerful country in the surrounding area.

Its momentum has far surpassed the peak of the Han Dynasty before.

This is almost Cao Cao's dream, and now it has finally come true.

Not only achieved, but also exceeded.

Therefore, Cao Cao is now 100% confident in Bai Feng.

Such a capable and wise minister, and also his son-in-law, has no intention of rebelling.

Who wouldn't love such a person?

Thinking of this, Boss Cao leisurely opened today's novel newspaper and began to continue to follow the update.

It must be said that the literati in the Wei Dynasty are becoming more and more literary.
