I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

"Oh, why is that?"

Cao Mao looked at Mi Fang with some puzzlement.

"My lord, you also know that nowadays, there are wars everywhere, and food is in short supply.

A few days ago, the imperial court expropriated grain everywhere and did not allow it to be used for wine making. I am having a headache about this. "

Mi Fang sighed.

The last time he attacked Yuan Shu, Cao Cao was almost defeated because of lack of food, so it is no wonder that the imperial court issued a ban on alcohol.

"If there is no food, how can we make wine?"

Mi Luyun frowned slightly, looking at Cao Mao.

Facing such a difficult problem, Cao Mao laughed,
"Don't worry about this, the problem of food is on my shoulders."

Seeing how confident he was, Mi Fang and Mi Luyun nodded in doubt.

At this moment, heavy footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

The tall and burly Dian Wei walked in.

He saluted Cao Mao,
"Young master, the prime minister ordered me to invite you over."

Cao Mao nodded casually, stood up, and walked towards the prime minister's mansion with Dian Wei.

As he walked, he casually asked,
"Father told me to go there today, why?"

"The two young masters, Zixiu and Zihuan, spoke in front of the lord, saying that you, Mr. Su Lie, violated the prohibition on alcohol and secretly brewed alcohol."

Dian Wei said in a low voice.

Cao Mao understood, and snorted coldly in his heart.

Last time he handed over several of Cao Ang's domestic slaves to Man Chong.

Man Chong was indeed worthy of his reputation as a cruel official, and he insisted on beating those slaves to death.

Cao Mao originally thought that this would teach Cao Ang and the others a profound lesson.

I didn't expect to dare to make my own small report in front of Cao Cao today.

After a while, Cao Mao came to the prime minister's mansion.

Cao Cao sat in the main seat, and Cao Ang and Cao Pi stood on both sides with sneers.

Before Cao Mao could speak, Cao Pi on the side took the lead in reprimanding,

"Father, the treasury is now empty and food is scarce.

The last time they attacked Yuan Shu, they almost mutinied because of lack of food.

Food is so important, but Maodi uses it to make wine, which is really too much! "

"Yes, that's right!"

Cao Ang also nodded in agreement,
"Brother Mao ignored the wine-making order issued by his father, he was defiant!"

The two looked at Cao Mao with malicious intent.

Ever since they found out that Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen had joined Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, they couldn't sit still.

The two of them don't want to watch Cao Mao grow stronger and threaten their position.

So the two seized the opportunity and used Cao Mao's violation of the prohibition order as an excuse to sue Cao Cao!

Let's see what you do this time!
Cao Ang and Cao Pi were secretly proud.

as predicted.

After the two of them left and right, Cao Cao's face was a little displeased.

"Mao'er, is what your two elder brothers said true?"

Cao Cao stared at Cao Mao and asked.

Cao Mao lightly cupped his hands and said,

"Report to father, what they said is true."

Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes flashed with disappointment.

"You really let me down!"

Today's wars are endless, people are displaced, and they often face the risk of food shortages.

Food not only determines the outcome of the battlefield, but also determines the stability of society.

That's why Cao Cao ordered that folk wine making be prohibited.

Cao Mao, as his son, blatantly violated the ban on alcohol, how could he not make Cao Cao angry?

"Father, calm down and listen to me."

Cao Mao's expression moved slightly, and he said softly.

"Okay, I'd like to hear what you have to say."

Cao Cao snorted coldly.

"Father promised me that he would let me raise the military resources for tiger and leopard cavalry by myself.

So I brewed Moutai to fill the shortage of military funds. "

Cao Mao said unhurriedly.

Cao Cao was taken aback, and said suspiciously,
"Willing alone can meet the needs of the tiger and leopard cavalry?"

Dian Wei on the side smiled and said,
"My lord, you don't know anything about this.

Now the most famous in Xudu City is Moutai wine brewed by Gongzi, and the price of a pot is as high as [-] yuan! "

Hearing this number, Cao Cao was surprised.

"Five hundred dollars?! Could it be that this is immortal wine?"

"Although it's not a fairy wine, it can definitely be called the best wine in the world!"

Dian Wei said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't hold back anymore.

He is also an alcoholic, so he quickly looked at Cao Mao,

"Maoer, do you still have Moutai?"

"Naturally there is."

Cao Mao took out a small jar of Moutai wine from under his sleeve and presented it to Cao Cao.

"This is specially brought by the child to serve his father."

Cao Cao accepted it with joy on his face, then opened the bottle cap and took a sip.

He only felt a strong aroma of wine rushing towards his face, which instantly aroused the glutton in his stomach.

Just relying on the aroma of the wine, Cao Cao can conclude that Moutai is definitely a good wine!

He picked up the bottle and took a sip. It was clean, cold and full of strength.

"Good wine! No wonder it can be sold for five hundred dollars!"

Cao Cao couldn't help praising him loudly, and looked at Cao Mao full of approval,
"I didn't expect you, Maoer, to brew such good wine!"

Cao Ang and Cao Pi on the side were a little dumbfounded.

wrong.

Isn't that what the script says?
Why didn't father scold Cao Mao, but instead praised him?

Cao Ang hurriedly cupped his hands and said,
"Father, even though this Moutai is the best wine in the world, Maodi still violated the prohibition."

"If the punishment is not severe, I am afraid that others will follow suit in the future."

Cao Pi also stood up.

Cao Cao looked hesitant.

He personally promised Cao Mao to allow him to raise military funds by himself.

If it is really necessary to ban wine making and punish Cao Mao, it is a bit unreasonable.

Thinking that he would never be able to drink such good wine as Moutai again, Cao Cao also felt a little pity.

But what Cao Ang and Cao Pi said makes sense.

If there is no punishment for this matter, I am afraid that the prohibition of alcohol will become a joke.

For a while, Cao Cao was in a dilemma.

At this moment, Cao Mao suddenly laughed,
"Father, if I can solve the food shortage problem, can I be exempted from punishment?"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, he looked at Cao Mao, and asked tentatively,

"Can you solve it?"

"Isn't it just a lack of food? It's simple, just leave it to me!"

Cao Mao smiled casually.

"This is no joke, Brother Mao, don't brag!"

Cao Ang and Cao Pi snorted coldly.

They didn't think that Cao Mao could solve the crisis of food shortage.

It's just to avoid Cao Cao's punishment, so I said that.

"If you don't believe me, I can make a military order here."

Cao Mao said calmly.

"There is no need for a military order, Maoer, you just do your best."

Cao Cao still had doubts about Cao Mao's ability to solve the food shortage.

If it can't be solved, Cao Cao is not willing to punish him.

After all, this is a problem that even a group of courtiers cannot solve.

"The kid will leave first."

Cao Mao bowed his hands and left.

"We're going back first too, Father."

Cao Ang and Cao Pi bowed their hands in salute.

After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Ang said suspiciously,
"Zihuan, you said that boy Su Lie, can he really solve the troublesome problem of food shortage?"
