Chapter 131 The eldest son and the eldest daughter of Boss Cao’s family

Xun Shuang was stunned when he heard Taifu's question.

The dispute between the imperial tutor and the imperial master was well known to both the government and the public. This was the reason why he did not engage in conquest before. However, General He Jin sent a special bus to recruit and reluctantly went to Beijing to take up his post.

In just one year, the situation in Dongdu was changing rapidly. By being cautious and following the trend, Xun Shuang was able to survive safely.

Now, just as Zhijinwu expressed his goodwill, the Taifu came as soon as he smelled it. It can be seen that living in a place of right and wrong, it is inevitable to become a right and wrong person.

"Taifu's tea looks good."

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

Yuan Ji said again: "Yongzhou, Sanhan, Dongyi, Qiongya, Jiaozhi, Dongying, Xiyu, Xianbei, and Nanyang. The Han Dynasty's territory is so vast that it has never been seen in ancient times."

"The Queen Mother, the eunuchs, the Grand Master, the Grand Lieutenant, the Young Master, the Chariot and Cavalry Generals, the Censor Zhongcheng, the King's Shizhong, You Bing Liang all fell into his hands, with a hundred thousand men and horses under his command, and fierce generals like clouds."

Xun Shuang pretended to be confused and asked: "Does the Tutor think that someone wants to act disobediently?"

Yuan Ji laughed, shook his head and said: "No, no! Today's big man is not the same as yesterday. The emperor has ascended the throne with Huoyi. Does Ci Ming know what color this big man's tomorrow will be like?"

Xun Shuang was silent.

Yuan Ji's meaning is very clear: Today's Han Dynasty is changing with each passing day. Most of the changes come from Liu Bei. What is more dangerous is that the opponent has strong soldiers and horses and uses power.

He thought that the other party almost single-handedly voted for the emperor, played with the two queen mothers and hundreds of officials, and even decided to raise troops to conquer the four directions.

Once this kind of heroic figure rises rapidly from the bottom, if it is not controlled, the consequences will be unbearable.

For aristocratic families like the Yuan family and the Xun family, they actually don’t mind who becomes the emperor, but the premise is that their core interests must not be harmed.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see that many of Yongzhou’s practices are gradually eliminating the privileges of powerful families, or giving civilians a chance to compete fairly.

The Xun family is full of talents, including officials, scholars, businessmen, and landowners, which make the family live a very prosperous life.

Even if Xun Shuang sympathizes with the common people and approves of Liu Bei's words and deeds, as a member of the family, he will never betray the family and class.

What's more, he is sixty-two years old this year, which is considered an advanced age, and he has reached the final stage of burning for the younger generation.

"The Taifu's concerns are not unreasonable. Xun is willing to do his best!"

Yuan Ji smiled.

Human nature seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, and this will not change in any era.

Although Liu Bei is now bossy and prosperous, his beauty will be destroyed by the wind.

Once the powerful and powerful people all over the world unite, this legendary uncle will eventually die without a burial place!

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

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

"Let Ah Jiu come."

Yuan Santang understands that Ah Jiu is Yuan Jiuling, the talker of Nanfang Bank.

In name, Southern Bank was jointly established by the Jiangnan Consortium. In fact, the Yuan family monopolized 60% of the share, and Yuan Ji was the real controller.

......

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

Kuaiji, Yongzhou Navy Port.

Cai He and Cao Ang saw Xia Houyuan and Cao Wan coming from behind.

"Xiaowan, why are you here?"

Cao Ang was surprised and happy. He stepped forward and circled around his eldest sister, as if he was trying to distinguish the true from the false.

"Bah! What big bowl and small bowl? Doesn't he have a name? Besides, you can come, why can't I come?"

Cao Ang laughed loudly, glanced at Xiahou's second uncle, and asked: "Okay, Xiaowan. I can come, and so can Xiaowan! Tell me, how did you sneak out without telling your father and mother?"<

/p>

While paying attention to the majestic ships in the military port, Cao Wan boasted proudly: "Hey, can this little thing stop me? Just use a little trick! If you call me Xiaowan again, I will be angry!"

"Ah, you must pay attention in the future, Xiaowan, I will take you to the warship, it will be interesting!"

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

"Second uncle, Lao Cai, you guys chat slowly, we're leaving!"

Cao Ang believed that if he could convince Cai He, then Cai He would be able to convince the second uncle Xiahou.

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

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

Unexpectedly, Cai He flatly refused.

"I'm sorry, but I obey!"

"What?" Xia Houyuan was confused, how dare you disobey me?

"Brother Miaocai, please sit down!"

Xia Houyuan sat down depressedly and asked impatiently: "If you have anything to say, leave it quickly! I have to go back to Hanzhong to resume my life!"

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

Xia Houyuan, who had just sat next to the stool, jumped up and said in shock: "Are you crazy?"

Cai He laughed and said, "Isn't Miaicai always steady? Why can't he keep calm?"

"Stop talking nonsense, what are you doing?"

Cai He asked: "Who do you think is the most effective person in your house?"

Xia Houyuan was just about to get angry, but felt that the other party was obviously not an idiot, so he deliberately said: "Stop thinking about it, Madam means the same thing."

"Ah, Miaocai misunderstood, I mean, take a long-term view?"

Xia Houyuan understood. He was angry and funny. You had the nerve to become a naval commander after being fooled by a stupid kid?

"Miaocai, don't look at me like that. Think again, is it better to raise your son 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 statement makes sense and is indeed related to the Cao family’s century-old plan.

But it’s a waste of time, and there’s no way to recover.

"This...that..."

Cai He understood what the other party was struggling with, so he said: "My wife does regard the young master as my life, but the lord is wise and wise, and we act cheaply: I will be outside, and you will not accept your life!"

Xia Houyuan suddenly asked: "What if something goes wrong during this trip..."

Cai He said with a smile: "That's why I invited Brother Miaocai to join us. The navy will only follow your lead!"

"Bullshit!"

Xia Houyuan, who was not good at water, rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to this guy.

"When people get here, tell Hanzhong."

Leaving Cai He behind, Xia Houyuan rushed to the warship. He was really worried if he didn't keep an eye on it.

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

On a hot day, almost all the sailors on the warship were shirtless. In the cabin below the deck, everyone only wore a piece of crotch cloth.

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 into the inner cabin through the messenger microphone.

"I'm Cao Ang. Young and old men, please put on your pants. I'll bring my roommate down later to watch."

Wow!

When I learned that the eldest lady was coming down for a visit, I went downstairs to rummage through boxes and put on shorts and vests.

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

Paddlewheel room, oarsmen's area, kitchen canteen, watertight cargo hold, and even entered the sailors' quarters to have a look.

After stepping on the paddle wheel, pulling the long oar, and eating seafood, Cao Wan gained a general understanding of the world's most advanced warships.

Climbing onto the deck again, Cao Ang pointed at the big killer weapon on the fort and said: "Awan, there are two crossbows at the bow and stern of the ship. They can fire barbed crossbows. No one will be spared when encountering a cargo ship at sea."

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

"Sail rope, now entering the harbor, dozens of sails have been furled."

Cao Wan accidentally discovered that a short sailor skillfully 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: "Those are the lookout hands. They have been severely sunburned. It is refreshing to go to the sea to cool down! They are the eyes of the fleet. Even if they are anchored, they must be on duty."

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

Walking to the front of the Suzaku, Cao Wan raised his telescope and observed other navy ships.

"Oops!"
