The lunch lasted for a long time, and at the end, everyone showed a satisfied smile on their faces. Speak up

Although they offered gifts and these gifts were of great value, they were not without gain.

They came today and at least found out what Cao Chong thought.

This Luoyang Marquis, who is considered a genius by the people of the world, is indeed smart enough.

He chose the right path to cooperate with the aristocratic family, rather than being enemies with the aristocratic family.

Jia Quan walked at the gate of the provincial governor's mansion, took a last look, and slowly left in his carriage.

This Luoyang Marquis... is smart enough.

However, it is much easier to communicate with smart people.

It seems that the worry in his uncle's heart is redundant.

The same idea was also being performed in Duan Cheng's carriage. He held two huge gems in his hand. The round gems kept turning in his hand, but his eyes were very sharp.

Perhaps, this Luoyang Marquis is an opportunity for the rise of my Duan family.

After today's incident, the Wuwei family temporarily relaxed their vigilance against Cao Chong. In their eyes, the Marquis of Luoyang was a smart person.

And he is a smart and powerful person. Since this is a transaction and everyone can benefit, why not make a fortune together?

As for dealing with Luoyang Marquis like others, this is completely unnecessary.

After everyone left, Cao Chong also left the lobby. He first went to the inner courtyard for a inspection and found that most of the buildings were aging and not beautiful. The most important thing was the drainage system, which was not very good.

Obviously, because there is no state governor in Liangzhou, the state governor's office has become idle all year round and no one takes care of it.

It seems that we need to repair this state palace, such as strengthening the defense and creating some underground secret rooms and warehouses to store food, weapons and gunpowder.

Cao Chong wanted to turn the Zhoumu Mansion into a medieval castle, which was indestructible, whether from the inside or outside.

However, there are so many places that Cao Chong doesn’t like, but it is not without places that Cao Chong likes, such as the martial arts training ground.

The huge martial arts training ground seems to be able to accommodate a thousand people.

The place here is big and secret enough.

Cao Chong found that perhaps he could train an army himself.

A new army trained using advanced training techniques in later generations.

This happened to be something Cao Chong had in the police academy in later generations, and it was considered a professional subject.

Of course, inspecting his own territory is just Cao Chong wants to confirm his safety.

However, the harmless nature of Cao Chong today is that those aristocratic families not only don’t want to kill themselves, but even want to protect themselves.

I guess if someone wants to kill him now, these aristocratic families will rush up and tear him apart immediately.

Cao Chong is now the money tree of the aristocratic family, and the chicken that lays golden eggs in the eyes of the aristocratic family.

They won't attack Cao Chong.

But you have to be careful.

Cao Chong never bases his life on his own guesses and other people's moods.

So today's defense is the top priority. Cao Chong couldn't even fly in.

After the inspection, Cao Chong chose an elegant place, which was a small bamboo house in a snow-covered bamboo forest.

This place reminded Cao Chong of his Chongyuan Hall. In fact, he really wanted to turn this place into Chongyuan Hall.

After all, he has to stay in this place for a few years.

When he arrived here, Cao Chong summoned Deng Ai, Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei, and Lu Song.

Five people were in the wooden house and did not seem crowded.

Obviously, the former Liangzhou Prefecture Governor would enjoy life and be a bit elegant person, otherwise he would not have specially built a bamboo forest and built a tall building with excellent scenery.

"Everyone, it is obvious that there is no favor to summon you to this time. I understand that you are exhausted when you travel for several days, but I do have important things in my hands and I want to hand them over to you. Please bear it a little bit."

Cao Chong said this to this point, even if he had any opinions, he would become unopposed. Those who had no opinions were gradually moved by Cao Chong.

The most incredible thing is, but Cao Chong's appearance of thinking about them is indeed imprinted in their hearts.

"If there is something wrong with the king, you will naturally summon him. How can you say so much?"

Deng Ai is more straightforward, and with his respect for Cao Chong, he said it directly.

Cao Chong's face was filled with a smile.

"Shizai still speaks straightforwardly, but if you think so, I feel comforted."

As the oldest among them, Zhuge Liang naturally spoke on behalf of the four people.

"I don't know that the Lord summoned me, but it's important."

Cao Chong nodded and waved to Deng Ai first.

"Shizai, you think the land in Liangzhou can be cultivated?"

Deng Ai seemed to have known Cao Chong would ask this question, and said, "Deng Ai studied soil quality along the way. In southern Liangzhou, he could cultivate it, but in Wuwei, it was OK, but the yield would decrease a little."

decline?

“How much has it dropped?”

Cao Chong could not have been transporting grain from Luoyang all the time, because it was not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also very unprofitable. Not only that, when Xiahou came to Luoyang, he had to distract himself from Xiahou to do something about these grains and grass, so Cao Chong had to be distracted to care about Xiahou.

This is definitely not a wise move. If you can be self-sufficient in Liangzhou and don’t have to look at the faces of those aristocratic families, you will be very good.

"About 20%.

20%?

Perhaps it is a huge loss, but it is not unacceptable. Moreover, once Cao Chong uses fertilizer, it is said whether the losses will be caused.

Since there are still 80% left, it proves that there is still a chance.

Cao Chong looked at Deng Ai and said, "Then you will become a pioneer in land reclamation in a few days. I will give you an official position as a military military chief. Remember, as long as you do this, it will be a great achievement."

Cao Chong patted Deng Ai on the shoulder, and the latter was stunned for a moment, with a smile on his face, but he looked a little reluctant to smile.

Cao Chong understood Deng Ai's meaning a little bit.

He traveled thousands of miles to Liangzhou. What Deng Ai wanted was not military farming, but to make achievements.

Cao Chong understood Deng Ai's psychology, so he added a sentence later.

"Remember Shi Zai, your affairs are not an unimportant thing. He is even more important than the extermination of the Qiang and Hu. In addition, as long as you spread the matter, I can give you an army of thousands of people to truly achieve success."

Hearing Cao Chong's words, Deng Ai's breathing suddenly became rapid.

"Don't worry, the military officials will definitely do the work of farming."

Cao Chong patted Deng Ai on the shoulder and nodded.

"Then I will wait patiently for your good news. By the way, you can use the five thousand slaves given to me by the aristocratic family, but you have to leave a few hundred for this marquis."

Deng Ai nodded and said, "No!"
