"Cao Cao, the Prime Minister of the Three Koreas, pays homage to the Minister!"
Cao Cao said with a smile. Xing Ziang was stunned. He did not expect that he could actually meet Cao Cao in the governor's office of Youzhou. He had heard about Cao Cao for a long time and his Majesty valued him very much. After he became Prime Minister Ma Han, he also
Showing his extraordinary talent, he spent nearly five years improving the originally backward and impoverished Sanhan area.
Even Tian Feng and Yang Biao disdained the supervision of the Youzhou governor and instead obeyed Cao Cao's orders. Therefore, Cao Cao simply went to the temple and became a veritable Prime Minister of the Three Koreas.
A few months after the end of the court meeting, Xing Ziang also rushed to the north. He personally inspected several states and counties, personally formulated the best driving route, improved Wang Fu's original goals, and moved Wang Fu to the north.
Fu's previous route was worthless. Of course, Wang Fu also did the same in the south. Xing Zi'ang hurried to Youzhou after inspecting Bingzhou and Hezhou.
Unexpectedly, he had just walked into the governor's mansion, and the first person to greet him was the thin and dark man in front of him, Cao Cao, the Prime Minister of the Three Han Dynasties.
"It turns out to be Mr. Cao. I have admired your name for a long time, and now I can see you!" Xing Zi'ang bowed his hands and bowed.
Although Xing Zi'ang occupies a high position, because he is young, he treats other local ministers respectfully and is not as annoying as Wang Fu, so he is deeply respected and loved by the ministers. Although Cao Cao has no friendship with him, Cao Cao is good at making friends, so the whole
Everyone in the temple had a good relationship with him. He held Xing Zi'ang's hand cordially and said with a smile: "It's up to you to see how the youngest Shangshu Ling in the Han Dynasty is different from us."
"Hahaha, Mr. Cao, there is no difference. He only received more favors from the emperor."
"Brother Zi'ang, I am different from you. When the emperor asked me to enter the palace, I thought I was going to be an eunuch. I would rather die than obey. You see, now I am sent to this poor place to become the prime minister of the country.
.If I had gone to see him with tears streaming down my face, maybe I would be the Situ of the DPRK today!"
"Hahaha, brother Mengde, please don't speak like that. You are the prime minister of the three Koreas and you are also loved by the emperor. Now among the local ministers, who can match the favor that Mengde has received from the emperor?"
Cao Cao was very good at communicating, and he became familiar with Xing Ziang after just a few words. Not to mention his own talents, Xing Ziang also valued him very much. The two hit it off and chatted excitedly. Ahem, Xing Ziang heard a violent burst of laughter.
Coughing, he raised his head. It turned out that there was a man standing not far away. The man was wearing an official robe, his face was a little dark, and he was looking at them with some displeasure.
Xing Ziang came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Meet Mr. Tao."
Cao Cao laughed enthusiastically, stepped forward and took Tao Qian's hand, and introduced to Xing Ziang in a serious manner: "This person is Tao Qian, the governor of Youzhou, Duke Tao. He is a humble and kind-hearted person, and Cao Cao respects him."
"Cao Cao...this is the governor's office in Youzhou...I am the governor of Youzhou..."
"Oh, what you said is absolutely true, Mr. Xing, this is the residence of the governor of Youzhou. There are two courtyards in the front and back, and there is a garden not far away. When I have free time, I can hold a banquet there.
."
Tao Qian's face turned darker and darker. This was obviously his own residence, so why did he talk about it as if he was from his own family and were so familiar with each other? Originally, he and Cao Cao were not at odds with each other. At first, it was because of the incident between Chen County and Bian County that Tao Qian wanted to let him go.
The two counties became under the rule of Youzhou, and the emperor agreed. However, Cao Cao, as the prime minister, continued to interfere in the political affairs of the two counties. The governors of these two counties were actually willing to obey Cao Cao's orders.
It must be said that Cao Cao has a strong personal charm and seems to be extremely friendly. Many people are willing to make friends with him.
But in this way, Tao Qian was very embarrassed. The postal inspectors he sent were intercepted by Cao Cao and sent back to him. The conflict began from then on. From then on, the two places began a long-term competition and struggle.
In the beginning, because of the new establishment of the Three Han Dynasties, Tao Qian still had the upper hand. However, as time went by, Cao Cao soon became evenly matched with him, and even took the form of suppression.
Tao Qian sighed in his heart, could he really be inferior to this guy?
Just yesterday, this guy came to me shamelessly and said he wanted to stay overnight in the governor's mansion. He refused, but he refused to leave. As the governor, he couldn't ask his servants to take him out, right?
?I am not Wang Jiexin.
He had no choice but to leave him behind. He didn't expect that his purpose was to come to the north for Xing Zi'ang. First, Tao Qian regretted that he didn't let his servants take Cao Cao out yesterday.
"Master Tao, forgive me!" Xing Ziang couldn't say it clearly. He didn't notice you just now, so he could only apologize to him tactfully. After all, Tao Qian was much older than him.
As far as Cao Cao is concerned, he is extremely outstanding. He still has considerable respect for the elderly. He is not like Cao Cao who acts so wantonly. Seeing the apology on his face, the displeasure on Tao Qian's face disappeared and he became gentle.
smiled.
"Xing Jun, sit down! Come on, Mr. Tao, sit down too!"
Damn it, my mansion is so useless that you come to invite me to sit down? Tao Qian cursed in his heart, looking at Cao Cao who was sitting on the side seat and greeting them, his eyes were spitting fire. After Cao Cao asked them to sit down,
Then he called out again: "Young man? Hurry up and serve the tea!"
The servants in Tao Qian's house looked at Tao Qian blankly. Tao Qian gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Mr. Tao, the reason why I came here this time is about Chidao. I know that General Dong built Chidao between Youzhou and Jizhou in the past. However, I think that if we want to connect the five states, it is necessary to build Chidao."
From Youzhou to Xinzhou, Xinzhou to Hezhou, Hezhou to Bingzhou, and Bingzhou to Liangzhou. In this way, although there is one more project, it reduces a lot of distance, and Youzhou can also directly participate in Liangzhou's foreign trade..."
Xing Ziang spoke slowly, and Tao Qian listened carefully.
Speaking of which, in terms of local politics, Tao Qian had no administrative power. The governor only supervised the local area. The local administrative power was in the hands of the governors of various places.
After discussing with him, he came here just to explain to Tao Qian the reason for his coming, and also to ask Tao Qian to personally supervise the construction project.
Tao Qian knew in his heart that Xing Ziang's deliberation tone was just out of respect for himself. He was overjoyed, listened with a smile, and nodded from time to time. The more exchanges Youzhou has with other places, the more He will appreciate Youzhou.
It was beneficial. He would never stop such a thing. This would all be his own merits in the future. He would greet Cao Cao from time to time and glance at Cao Cao proudly.
"Okay, the matter has been settled like this. Mr. Xing, I have something important to discuss with you. I don't know if we can get together to avoid the crowds and have a detailed discussion with you!" After Xing Ziang finished speaking, Cao Cao
He immediately spoke. His face was solemn, without the look of a moment ago. It seemed that he really had something important to do.
Xing Ziang thought for a moment. Tao Qian still needed to inform his subordinates about the Youzhou matter. It would take several days. He was not very busy in these days. Since Cao Cao had something important to do, he might as well listen to it.
He looked at Tao Qian and said humbly: "Mr. Tao, I'm sorry to trouble you. I hope you can inform the governors of various places..." After saying that, he followed Cao Cao out. Tao Qian's teeth were itching with anger.
, watching Cao Cao take Xing Ziang away talking and laughing, he kept cursing in his heart, you Wang Jiexin, you dare to say that I am an idle person, this is the governor's office of Youzhou, you wait, I am not done with you!
