Seeing Yang Ling busy making mud, Dian Wei suddenly became happy.
"Brother, why are you playing with pee and mud?"
"Would you like my grandson to come and stay with you?"
Xu Chu also smiled.
Yang Ling glanced at them angrily, waved and said,
"You're here just in time, come and work quickly!"
"Such behavior is really disgraceful!"
"Second brother is right, eldest brother, you should just play by yourself."
Dian Wei and Xu Chu immediately shook their heads.
joke.
They are all heroes of the founding of Cao Wei and have a high status. How could they urinate in mud?
If outsiders saw it, they would lose face.
"Okay, it's degrading, right?"
Yang Ling glanced at them sideways and said lazily,
"Then from today on, you will no longer come to my house for food!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Dian Wei and Xu Chu rolling up their sleeves and rushing over!
"We were just joking with my eldest brother!"
"That's right, brother, just rest for now and leave it to us!"
The two of them smiled flatteringly, took the tools from Yang Ling's hand, and started making clay like him.
In a short while, the cement was almost completely alive by the two of them.
Seeing this, Yang Ling called a few servants and asked them to use the stone bricks prepared in advance and cement to start building the wall.
While the servants were building the wall and waiting for the cement to dry, Yang Ling looked at Dong Zhao aside.
"Da Sinong (Dong Zhao's official position), you came here in such a hurry. Do you have something important to do?"
Dong Zhao slapped his forehead and then remembered that he had something to report.
"Reporting to His Highness the King of Qi, I have two things to report."
"The first thing is that Jizhou and Xuzhou have released their taxes in the past six months."
"Oh? Seeing how excited Da Sinong is, it must be a good result, right?"
Yang Ling smiled.
“It’s not just good, it’s simply very good!”
Dong Zhao could not suppress the excitement on his face,
"The taxes collected this time are three times that of previous years!"
Yang Ling couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.
Compared with other states, both Xuzhou and Jizhou are relatively wealthy.
Cao Wei also implemented the new policy of encouraging land reclamation in the two states very early.
Yang Ling originally thought that after this time, the number of people could be doubled at most, but he didn't expect that the number would be tripled!
This really surprised him!
It seems that I still underestimated these nobles, but fortunately I implemented the policy of sharing the land with the family in time.
Otherwise, if the noble clan continues to develop, I am afraid it will threaten Cao Wei's rule again!
"If this is the case, then it is necessary for us to promote the policy of sharing one acre to one acre across the country!"
Zhao Yun on the side nodded heavily.
"What Zilong said is right, Da Sima, you can go back to Situ and Sikong and draw up a charter on this matter!"
Yang Ling ordered.
Just by implementing the system of apportionment per mu in Xu and Hebei states, taxes can be tripled!
If you move to Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Jingzhou and other wealthy places, I'm afraid you can get a lot more!
"I accept your order!"
"Besides this matter, does Da Sinong have anything else to do?"
"Didn't His Highness order someone to inform Gongsun Yuan, the governor of Liaodong, to come to the Hajj?"
"Yes, but he is here?"
"No!"
Dong Zhao shook his head,
"Not only did he not come, but he claimed in the letter that he was infected with the cold and could not travel far!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yun sneered and said,
"Brother, this guy Gongsun Yuan really doesn't know how to live or die. It seems that we are going to send troops to attack him!"
Yang Ling nodded slightly, with a sneer on his face.
There is no shortage of smart people in this world, but there is also no shortage of fools like Gongsun Yuan!
Now that the world is unified by Cao Wei, if Gongsun Yuan knew better and took the initiative to surrender, he would not embarrass him.
But he just relied on the long journey and the self-respect of the troops. He really didn't know whether to live or die!
Forget it, if you give him a chance and he doesn't succeed, then you can't blame me!
Thinking of this, Yang Ling said in a deep voice,
"Zhong Gong, send someone immediately to inform Shi Zai and Bo Yue to come over!"
Yang Ling waved to Guanqiu Jian who was standing aside.
Guanqiu Jian immediately accepted the order and left. Not long after, Deng Ai and Jiang Wei arrived hand in hand.
"I've met...teacher!"
After saluting Yang Ling, Jiang Wei couldn't wait to say,
"Teacher, has there been a reply from Liaodong?"
"Yes, Gongsun Yuan is extremely arrogant. He wrote back saying that he was not feeling well and did not want to come to Beijing."
Yang Ling nodded.
"It seems that this guy is determined to resist the imperial court. In this case, let him know the wrath of the great Wei Dynasty!"
Jiang Wei said coldly.
"You should make preparations immediately. At the beginning of next month, I will go to Liaodong with you!"
"Students take orders!"
After explaining the business, everyone started chatting again.
After lunch, seeing that it was almost time, Yang Ling led everyone to the concrete wall.
"Brother, this so-called cement doesn't look very good either."
Looking at the dusty cement wall, Dian Wei felt a little disapproving.
"You can't tell anything by just looking at it. You might as well try how hard it is."
Yang Ling said with a smile.
"Okay, let me try!"
Xu Chu stood up without hesitation.
He first took down a sledgehammer from the weapons rack in the mansion and slowly walked to the concrete wall.
"Hey!"
Xu Chu shouted loudly, raised the sledgehammer, and hit the cement wall hard!
"Boom!"
There was only a muffled sound, and there was just a white spot on the cement wall. Other than that, it was motionless!
On the contrary, Xu Chu's hands went numb and he took a step back involuntarily!
Seeing this situation, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
You must know that Xu Chu was famous for his great strength at that time. He could drag an ox's tail with one hand and move backward for more than a hundred steps!
Although he is old now, in the eyes of everyone, this cement wall cannot withstand his blow!
But I didn’t expect that the cement wall was so strong!
Xu Chu felt that he had lost face in front of everyone, and became furious. He raised the sledgehammer again and smashed it against the cement wall crazily.
After this series of attacks, the cement wall became loose, and debris continued to fall down!
Xu Chu didn't stop until he was panting from exhaustion and had no more strength.
Everyone looked carefully and saw that the cement wall was already full of holes.
But even so, it shocked everyone!
Just like Xu Chu's series of attacks, if it were a human being, he would have been smashed into a pulp!
However, despite the wear and tear of the cement wall, it still stands.
Its hardness is really shocking!
"If this thing is used to build a house, even if it is exposed to wind and rain, it will not collapse for decades!"
Dong Zhao couldn't help but sigh.
"It's too small. Da Sinong's vision is too small!"
Yang Ling laughed, pointed at the ground and said,
"I plan to use this thing to build roads across the country!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up!
The roads in today's world are mostly dirt roads.
