"Brother-in-law, our Xiaocao is back!"

Chang'an, the nominal Prime Minister's Mansion of Andingfang, the actual Daxingtai Office, the door has not yet opened, and a loud voice has come in from outside the door, and then, with a red light, the third young master of Dawei sneaked in from outside the door, and then saw someone full of excitement and enthusiasm to greet him.

Feeling good about himself, Cao Zhang also smiled and slapped his face: "It's only been half a year, brother-in-law doesn't have to think about me so much, ...... miss me, miss me ......"

The voice was embarrassed, because Wang Hou didn't look at him at all, and went straight over the goods, but he suddenly hugged Changle, who was one step behind, in his arms.

"Stinky girl! How dare you run away! I don't say hello to my father, oops, I want to die daddy and me! ”

The mentality of those who were old fathers in later generations is now Wang Hou is vividly experienced, and finally raised potted flowers, watered, fertilized, loosened the soil, and raised her beautifully, but at any time there may be a guy called son-in-law who took away the flowers and pots, and he can't chase them, and now looking at Changle, he obviously has this feeling.

The little brain melon that was turned by Wang Hou was confused, and Changle patted him on the shoulder helplessly: "Don't turn it, Dad!" I'm dizzy! ”

"Say hello to you, can you still let me go?"

"Definitely not! Is the battlefield where you go as a girl? This knife and gun have no eyes, let my dad see it, it's not hurt, ho! How do you leave a scar on your face? Who did this to you? Your father and I will seek revenge on him and destroy his whole family! ”

"No, Dad, I've already killed him with my own hands! If I don't talk about this, why can't I go to the battlefield, my mother was able to follow my grandfather and daddy to run around? Why? ”

"Your mother is a woman, can you compare with her!"

Listening to the father and daughter chirping here, Cao Zhang's sad old face became darker and darker, and in the end, he was helpless and roared.

"Brother-in-law! Akira is back! Take a look! ”

can be regarded as turning around, but Wang Hou rolled his eyes with contempt.

"Who are you?"

…………

Seriously, if he can go back, Wang Hou really wants to stuff Cao Zhang back to Yecheng, and let the old man Cao take it with him, saying that it is not a big deal to watch the excitement, and he is right! It was not easy for him to re-establish a good relationship with Cao Wei's heir Cao Pi, but he was ruined by Cao Cao casually.

And how long Mr. Cao can live, Wang Houzhen doesn't remember! But the last few times we met, Cao Cao was sure that he was old! At his age, it is extremely dangerous to try to replace the prince, if one is not done well, it is likely to cause a full-scale civil war in the empire, Cao Pi cannot be willing to hand over the rights of the prince, and over the years, his power in the Central Plains has been formed, all kinds of kneeling and licking without a lower limit, unscrupulous acceptance and elimination of dissidents, the Central Plains family has been bought by him on a considerable scale.

Just like Sima Yi's Hedong Sima clan!

Cao Cao's politics is to be virtuous and not look at his background, but Cao Pi is now the spokesperson of the big family, in the past two years, the Central Plains has recognized officials, and the children of the family have been in high positions more and more, and now Cao Cao wants to change his course and kick Cao Pi down, can the family do it?

Wang Hou was very suspicious that even Cao Cao, a few years before his death, was powerless to influence the direction of the court, especially after Cao Pi promised so many benefits, it had not been fulfilled, and the Central Plains family would definitely do its best to fight back.

This is tantamount to placing Cao Zhang and Wang Hou behind him directly on the opposite side of most Central Plains families.

Of course, the benefits are not without benefits, just like the sentence at the end of the first paragraph of Jia Xu's secret letter to himself.

You should be Lu Buwei!

Lü Buwei is also a businessman, after he saw Ying Yiren, he sighed that strange goods can live, and helped Ying Yiren to obtain the position of the prince of Qin, he is also a feudal merchant, a very human minister, and the power has been tilted towards Qin for decades, and now Wang Hou is also a businessman, and he is an official businessman, more powerful than Lü Buwei, Cao Zhang is the down-and-out prince, if he can be raised on the throne of the King of Wei, and even become the emperor with the Wei Dynasty, the political benefits obtained by Wang Hou are naturally much greater than Lü Buwei.

It's just that compared with Lu Buwei, Wang Hou doesn't have such a big power addiction and ambition, and now he is enough to be a big star in Guanzhong, compared to the sword and sword shadow of the heir, he would rather find a squat and live comfortably with a stall.

It's a pity, but like Cao Zhang, the situation is not transferred by his will, Cao Cao made a move, and he can only continue to follow the tricks.

Fortunately, among the many chaos brought by Cao Zhang, this pacification of the Western Regions is exactly what he is trying to do! The only one that caters to the needs of Guanzhong Daxingtai, and by the way, Sima Yi who is in the way is gone.

After intimately catching up with his baby daughter for a while, Changle, whose little face was pinched red by Wang Hou, ran out of the house like a desperate escape, but Cao Zhang was put in the leading role.

Sitting on the other side of the desk, this guy was dancing with his hands excitedly, not like a child of the clan who stepped into Vanity Fair with two feet.

"Brother-in-law, you have to thank me this time, do you know how many people I, Cao Ziwen, brought back from Kanto this time? Lakh! Lakh!!! ”

"Yangshan Gold Mine scored three percent of my dry shares! I also want 20% of Jingshan Iron Mine! These are all prime laborers! My brother-in-law and brother-in-law also have to settle accounts! Don't bargain with me! ”

It's really enough for Cao Zhang! This time, Cao Cao was also generous enough, 50,000 rebels surrendered in Wancheng, and 50,000 people who rebelled in Luhun and other places, all in the name of exile and residence, let him bring them to Guanxi! Wang Hou guarded Guanxi, and the trouble was either that there was not much land or that the population was insufficient.

During the period of Emperor Wei Ming, the number of people registered in the imperial court was 13 million, but in fact, nearly twice the population was not on the household register, including the ethnic minorities who did not belong to the Han people, and the slaves of the major families, according to later generations, the population of Cao Wei was about 20 million to 25 million.

And now under Wang Hou's command, the territory even exceeds that of the Central Plains, but even if the Qiang people, Xianbei people, Wuhuan people, Goguryeo people and Buyeo people are added, these naturalized "Han people", in fact, the population in his hands is about 3 million, which is more than one-tenth of the Central Plains.

More than 100,000 young and strong people are really a big gift! It is enough for Wang Hou to dig out the iron ore and gold mines hidden in the mountains of Longshang!

It's just that when Cao Zhang was still immersed in exchanging money for the population, and then went to Chang'an to spend all day drinking, betting on horses and rewarding the anchor to live a ruined life, Wang Hou shook his head solemnly.

"These are trivial matters, after you go back in a while, you will be dismissed immediately and resign from the position of general of the Chang'an Corps!"

"It's not! Brother-in-law, I won the battle! Why did you come back and get rid of me? ”

was immediately dumbfounded, lined up at the table, and Cao Sangongzi jumped up even more indignantly.

Without answering his dissatisfaction, Wang Hou stared at his handsome old face more seriously, and asked very solemnly.

"Ziwen, do you want to be the king of Wei?"
