After Cao Bin received two gifts in the Time and Space Mall, he found that they were not real objects, but two virtual lights.
Moreover, it seems that these two things no longer belong to him in the later stages of the novel. Could it be that they are used as waste?
Cao Bin scratched his head and didn't pursue it too much. Since it was a gift, there was no need to pick and choose, not to mention that both items were good.
Boss Cao's military level was at the ceiling level at least during the Three Kingdoms period, and he should be ranked among the top twenty in the entire era.
As the "New Book of Mengde" containing his military experience, it is naturally very precious.
After absorbing Meng De's new book, Cao Bin had a lot more knowledge on the art of war in his mind, mostly tactics and less strategy.
No wonder Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty commented on him that he could make changes in times of crisis, anticipate the enemy and set up surprises, and a general would be more than wise...
In any case, this knowledge has greatly made up for the shortcomings of Cao Bin's art of war. As long as he practices more and understands it more, he will naturally be able to apply it skillfully in the future.
As for the Qingzhi Sword, Cao Bin directly merged it with the royal sword given by the emperor.
The general appearance of the imperial sword has not changed, except that the entire blade has been dyed with a layer of cyan light, and there are two more ancient Chinese characters for "青魭" on the sword's spine.
Cao Bin tried it out and found that chopping iron like clay or blowing hair and breaking hair were all trivial, and he couldn't help but feel satisfied.
He looked at the less than 11,000 Dandy Points in the Time and Space Mall and wanted to make up for the 800 "Trapped Soldier Souls", but thinking of the emperor's body, he endured it.
In order to avoid the sudden death of the emperor and an uncontrollable situation, he also needed to leave some emergency backup.
After three days of sailing, everyone returned to Hangzhou.
At this time, there were more refugees dredging the West Lake, and they were all refugees who had no way to rescue them. This was convenient for Cao Bin, and it was equivalent to an alternative "land enclosure movement."
As the saying goes, things get easier when there are more people. In the past ten days, half of the West Lake has been cleaned up, and the Su Causeway has also taken shape.
In the following period, Cao Bin not only arranged for his subordinates to open workshops in various places and planned the Hangzhou Exchange, but also paid attention to the news in the capital.
He wants to turn Zhejiang and Zhejiang into his own economic base, but he will not ignore the changes in the capital to avoid falling into passivity.
Last time, Cao Bin's plan against the Liao Kingdom was successful. While the court was pleasantly surprised, it was also frightened and they no longer dared to hand over the entire matter to Cao Bin.
Kou Zhun had no choice but to go into battle himself and take charge of the negotiations.
Cao Bin didn't care. He had done everything he could, and the success of the negotiation was indispensable for his own contribution. He was just waiting for the reward.
However, he had just been promoted not long ago, and the court would probably not reward officials or titles. This time, the big reward should go to the Yang family...
The two Zhejiang provinces were transferred to the Yamen.
After the staff finished writing the memorial, they handed it to Zhu Min and said:
"Sir, do you think this is acceptable?"
As he spoke, he asked again:
"Sir, you bought this auspicious beast Qilin with a lot of money, why did you need to include Cao Bin and Bao Zheng in the memorial?"
“Wouldn’t this give them the credit?”
When Zhu Min heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched and he said:
"As an official in the government, the first priority is to be cautious to avoid being plotted against. "
He didn't want to take Bao and Cao with him, but he always felt uneasy, so he asked his staff to add some scenes to the two of them in the memorial.
However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt he was at a disadvantage.
Why should I let them take advantage of the auspiciousness I spent most of my net worth on? So he added:
"Then you can change it again and just mention them a little bit..."
After sending a courier to deliver the memorial, Zhu Mincai breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his temples and asked:
"Have all the summer taxes in various states and counties been shipped? Have they met the requirements of the court?"
The staff member hurriedly took out a stack of documents and replied:
"Sir, this is the number reported by various places."
"It's just that there is chaos in many places, and the total tax revenue is only 70% of the estimate."
Although Zhu Min had expected it, he couldn't help but feel a headache:
"So much difference? Not to mention Prime Minister Cai's request, even the imperial court has a hard time explaining it."
"Money... In this way, you make a false account and report 50% to the court first!"
The staff member said:
"No sir, once the court investigates, the consequences will be disastrous."
Zhu Min shook his head and said:
"The court can delay it, but the money that Prime Minister Cai needs cannot be delayed at all! We will make up for it later."
"It's a pity that Cao Bin and Bao Zheng teamed up to target me, making me unable to use my hands and feet, otherwise it wouldn't be so difficult."
The staff quickly said:
"My lord, you must not take any chances..."
At this moment, a man pretending to be a man hurried in and reported:
"Sir, sir, some friends in the martial arts world say they know the traces of Fang La's remnants, and they seem to be fleeing south."
When Zhu Min heard this, he sneered and said:
"Cao Bin, you are such an incompetent person. You have been making such a big deal for such a long time, but you still let these people get away with it."
"If I want to write another memorial, I will file a complaint against him first."
But the staff quickly stopped him and said:
"Sir, if we want to deal with Cao Bin and Bao Zheng, we should focus on these remnants of the rebels. Don't miss it!"
As he spoke, he smiled and said:
"Cao Bin ransacked the Wang family for colluding with the rebels. Why don't we pay him back in his own way?"
When Zhu Min heard this, he suddenly became interested and asked:
"What's the plan?"
The staff member stroked his beard and smiled:
"Your Excellency, please raise some doubts and force Bao Zheng to investigate Cao Bin. First, alienate the two of them..."
Zhu Min muttered:
"Is it possible? Both of them are trusted by His Majesty."
The staff member smiled confidently:
"Your Excellency, you only know one, but not the other. You only know the appearance, but not the inside."
"Since he was demoted, why did the imperial court put Bao Zheng in Hangzhou? The three imperial guillotines were not taken back yet?"
As he spoke, he confidently explained:
"This is the way of the emperor."
"Cao Binchu used his position as an observer to control the south of the Yangtze River. How could the imperial court be assured?"
"Thanks to Cao Bin's cunning and alertness, he resigned immediately after Fang La was wiped out to avoid suspicion."
"However, being in charge of military affairs should not be underestimated. Therefore, as long as the adults go to complain, Bao Zheng dare not not investigate, and he must not not investigate!"
Zhu Min pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh and said:
"If I hadn't made it clear, sir, I really wouldn't have understood the meaning!"
He was so excited that he spun around a few times and said with a smile:
"First create a rift between Cao Bin and Bao Zheng, and then send people to create evidence that Cao Bin colluded with the rebels and raised the bandits' self-respect."
"As a person like Bao Zheng, it is impossible to turn a blind eye. If two tigers fight like this, both sides will lose."
"If I take the opportunity to impeach you again...it's wonderful, it's wonderful beyond words."
Yujie Village, Wujin County, Changzhou, is the hometown of Nan Xia Zhan Zhao.
Since May, the village has become lively, with heroes from all walks of life gathering to attend Nan Xia's wedding.
Needless to say, the characters in Seven Heroes and Five Righteousnesses are mostly brought here with their families. In addition, there are also the two outstanding figures from Shanxi, the Four Elders of the Spring and Autumn Period...
Anyone with some reputation in the world would come to join in the fun.
At this time, in the main room, the river rat Jiang Ping was shaking his head and complaining:
"Brother Zhan, this is so unethical of you. You didn't even notify us of your wedding in advance."
“If our friends on the road hadn’t mentioned it, we would definitely have missed it!”
"Send us a fake invitation, and it's really yours!"
After hearing his words, others also complained one after another.
The juniors who followed their fathers looked at Zhan Zhao in a strange way.
It was the first time for many of them to see the famous Nan Xia. They were originally full of admiration, but they did not expect that he would turn out to be such a disrespectful and disrespectful person, and they were a little disappointed.
Zhan Zhao looked at the expressions of everyone and had no choice but to make a bow and said with a helpless smile:
"Forgive me, it's not Zhan who deceived you. I really didn't expect that Lord Cao would come to Jiangnan to take up his post."
"If it hadn't been for the Ding family heroine, Zhan wouldn't have dared to get married this year."
"At this time, Zhan is on tenterhooks and really doesn't dare to make any big noise...,,,,,"
Before anyone could react, a group of juniors were already in an uproar.
What ability does Zhongjing Hou have? He can scare the famous Nan into such a state that he doesn't even dare to get married?
For a moment, their understanding of martial arts masters was a bit shaky...
