NOVEL FROG Chapter 35
Diao Chan, Lady Du, Gan Mei, Mi Zhen.
When the four beauties were playing together, Cao Jian was naturally not idle.
While feasting his eyes, while he had nothing to do, he couldn't help but start to think ahead of time about how to strengthen his rule in Xuzhou City?
Because of historical reasons, the cheap father, Boss Cao, once carried out a massacre in Xuzhou to avenge his father, so he was not very popular in the Xuzhou area.
This is also one of the main reasons why Liu Bei could easily regain control of Xuzhou in the parallel world of later generations as soon as he turned against him!
With the painful lessons of history in front of him, for the sake of the Cao family's great cause, Cao Jian had to consider it carefully.
"Now, Lü Bu's main army has already rushed to Xiapi;
Dad's follow-up troops will soon join the two uncles Xiahou and their vanguard troops in Xiaopei.
With the power of the Cao family, it is only a matter of time to annihilate Lü Bu and completely control Xuzhou."
"How to govern it at that time is really a headache.……"
"Let's not talk about the distant future, let's just talk about the main city of Xuzhou that I have captured.
Now we have two famous generals, Xu Huang and Le Jin, leading 10,000 troops to defend the city together, which is naturally enough to resist the general foreign attack; but in terms of civil affairs, all of them rely on Chen Deng. Although this person is highly regarded in later history, he is a local tyrant after all, his heart is on the side of local interests, and he seems to think highly of Liu Bei.
If he really becomes powerful in Xuzhou in the future, it is hard to say what will happen.……"
As he was thinking about it, Cao Jian suddenly felt a headache and couldn't help rubbing his forehead with his hand.
Seeing this, Diao Chan and Du Shi, the two beauties, hurried over:
"Husband, what trouble are you in?"
"If you have something bothering you, why not tell us sisters about it?
Although we are not talented, we are willing to help you solve your worries!
Even if we can't help, it's always good to have someone to talk to.……"
Hearing this, Gan Mei and Mi Zhen, who were standing beside him, also came closer without hesitation, their eyes full of concern.
After looking around, Cao Jian thought for a while and decided not to hide it:
After all, in the entire city of Xuzhou, there is not a single counselor who can discuss with him!
Although Xu Huang and Le Jin are reliable and fierce in battle, they are still not good at playing politics.
Although Chen Deng is first-class in ability, he is now afraid that he will dominate in Xuzhou!
You can't ask him how to check and balance Chen Deng himself, right?
In comparison, these four close and wonderful women can indeed talk about it with confidence!
Just as Diao Chan said.
Regardless of whether it can solve the problem or not, at least it is good to have more people to discuss together.
With this in mind, Cao Jian immediately told everything he was thinking...
After hearing this, the women immediately had their own ideas in their hearts.
Among the four beauties, Diao Chan is undoubtedly the one with the highest political awareness: after all, she was chosen to successfully use the counter-espionage strategy between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, two ruthless men, to make them kill each other. Such a sturdy achievement would be impossible without a certain IQ!
So after listening to Cao Jian's troubles, she has begun to seriously help consider specific ways to deal with it.
In contrast, Du, who is also Cao Jian's concubine, is not so politically savvy.
At this moment, although she has no idea in her heart, she is full of emotion:
"My husband is so kind to us!
He is willing to discuss such a confidential matter with us sisters?
If it were another man, he would never treat us equally like my husband does.……"
It's no wonder she feels this way: after all, in this relatively feudal era, women's status is generally not high; especially as concubines, their status is even worse! For ordinary concubines, let alone getting equal respect, it is already a great fortune not to be given away as a gift by the husband's family!
As for those who can give full respect to their personality like Cao Jian, they are even rarer!
Mrs. Du was infinitely moved.
The familiar system prompt sounded quietly in Cao Jian's mind again:
【Ding! Du is moved by the host, system points reward +20】
【……】
This unexpected gain made Cao Jian stunned at first, but then he smiled in his heart:
"Although this Du family is not able to plan things, they are still making contributions silently in their own way.……"
With gratitude in his heart.
Cao Jian couldn't help but take another quick glance at the towering mountain in front of him, and suddenly felt satisfied...
Next to Mrs. Du, the"Jade Beauty" Madam Gan, her political literacy is actually the same. As a girl from a poor family, Cao Jian is naturally powerless to consider the problem at this time.
As simple as she is, seeing that she can't help much in major events, she turned to quietly become the Minister of Logistics: when everyone began to work together, she began to busy herself inside and outside, helping everyone prepare tea, fruit plates, etc., which has a bit of the taste of living together at home.
Even Cao Jian, who was watching from the side, felt quite useful in his heart.
In comparison, Mi Zhen, who was with Madam Gan, although the youngest among the four beauties, unexpectedly has quite a bit of brains!
As soon as Cao Jian finished talking about what he was worried about.
The girl rolled her eyes, and she had quite a bit of insight and said:
"In my opinion, what the Second Young Master was thinking and worried about just now is indeed something that we must guard against!"
"To be honest, my Mi family has been doing business for generations, and we have a good understanding of the local aristocratic families in Xuzhou.
His Chen family is deeply rooted in Xuzhou. They are not only local nobles, but also gentry!
Especially Chen Deng himself. When my brother was the deputy governor of Xuzhou, he worked with him for a period of time and knew that this person was extremely capable!
I have heard my brother mention more than once that Chen Deng is arrogant and has a high opinion of himself.……"
After that, a rare look of solemnity flashed across her delicate face as she said:
"Although I am not familiar with politics, most business people believe in the saying,"Don't put all your eggs in one basket!"
I believe that with the Second Master's intelligence, he should understand the truth behind this.……"
After hearing this, Cao Jian smiled and nodded:
"That makes sense! Isn't it because I'm worried about this that I have a headache?"
Upon hearing this, Mi Zhen's pretty face suddenly turned red, and it was obvious that she had not had time to think about specific countermeasures.
At this time, Diao Chan, who had a good IQ, followed Mi Zhen and instantly pointed out the core of solving the problem:
"According to what my husband and sister Mi said, if we want to prevent the Chen family from becoming too powerful and difficult to control in the future, we need a strong person who can compete with them and prevent them from becoming too powerful!"
After saying that, she looked at Cao Jian with a smile and said:
"With your identity, status, and extraordinary ability, you are more than qualified to be the governor of this state!
If you are interested, you can ask Lord Sikong to submit a petition and formally appoint you in the name of the court. At that time, I believe that even if Chen Deng has great ability and ambition, he can only submit!
In this way, I think this problem can be solved, right?"
As soon as she said this, the other women nodded in agreement.
Cao Jian smiled helplessly and shook his head:
"Good Diao Chan, you think too simply about the problem!
It is not so easy to appoint the head of a state.
Even if my father intends to promote me, with my current qualifications and reputation, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!
Let's take a step back and say that even if I really appoint you regardless of everything, the powerful dragon will not be able to suppress the local snake, let alone me, an outsider who is isolated and helpless in Xuzhou?"
After hearing this, Diao Chan smiled.
She seemed to have thought of it a long time ago. She looked at Mi Zhen beside her meaningfully and said with a smile:
"Who said that my husband is alone and helpless? Isn't there still the younger sister of the Mi family?"
"The Mi family is very wealthy in Xuzhou, and Sister Mi is as close to us as a sister, so they will surely not sit idly by
, right? With the help of the Mi family, it will not be difficult for your husband to gain a foothold in Xuzhou in the future?"As soon as the voice fell, everyone instantly turned their eyes to Mi Zhen.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, this girl's face turned red again.
She wanted to agree, but then she changed her mind, and a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes, and she murmured in a low voice:
"If I can lend a helping hand to you, sir, I would certainly be willing to do so!"
"But...my brother has already promised me to Lord Xuande.……"
"Moreover, the entire Mi family has placed a heavy bet on Lord Xuande.……"
As she finished her words, her voice became weaker and weaker, until it was as thin as a mosquito.
She lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Cao Jian, and looked like a child who had done something wrong...
Everyone who saw this could not help but feel pity for her. Especially Madam Gan, whose situation was actually the same as Mi Zhen's!
How could she not feel pity for her?���What is Mi Zhen thinking?
Thinking of the sad things, Mrs. Gan couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
"Alas! It's just that the Mi family sister and I are both unlucky!
It's not easy to meet the second son of Cao, who is rare in this world, but it's a pity that we met him too late.……"
