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

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

Xun Yun hurried forward, trying to help Cao Mao.

I saw him waving his hand, and said in a low voice,

"Xun Lingjun has worked so hard for me and the court, he should be able to bear my kneeling!"

When the people on the side heard this, they were envious of the kindness Xun Yu had received, and they were also excited by Cao Mao's words!
To be able to serve such an enlightened lord, we are really lucky for three lives!

After paying homage to Xun Yu three times, Cao Mao slowly got up and said to several officials beside him,
"Pass down the order to hold a funeral for Mr. Xun in the form of a state funeral!"

"Here!"

People take orders.

Cao Mao glanced at Xun Yu's peaceful face again, then turned around and left without looking back.

……

In May of the sixth year of Shenlong, Imperial Minister Xun Yu passed away, and his funeral was held as a state funeral of the highest standard.

Cao Mao granted him the title of Marquis of Long Live Ting, and his posthumous title was "Jing"!
……

After Xun Yu died of illness, Cao Mao was also depressed for several days.

Firstly, it was because of the death of the most trusted minister, and secondly, it also made him a little inexplicably sad.

Just like the theme song in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms TV series in later generations,

"The rolling waters of the Yangtze River flow eastward, and the waves wipe out the heroes... so many things in ancient and modern times are all jokes!"

After a short period of loss, Cao Mao also devoted himself to the government affairs of the court.

He promoted Pang Tong to succeed Xun Yu and continue to lead the government.

this day.

morning meeting.

"Your Majesty, the son of Gongsun Gong, the governor of Pingzhou, wrote a letter. His father died of illness. May I ask who will succeed the governor of Pingzhou?"

Pang Tong respectfully said.

Cao Mao pondered for a while, then said,
"Let Wang Lie take over temporarily."

"Here!"

Pang Tong nodded, and said,
"Yan Rou, the governor of Hanhai Prefecture, has an official document saying that Bu Dugen, the prefect of Xianbei County, fought against Ding Lingren and suffered heavy losses. She hopes to be supplemented by soldiers from the imperial court."

"Tell Yan Rou that if the situation is true, you can provide them with armor as appropriate."

"Here!"

"..."

Cao Mao had been dealing with similar government affairs for two days and two nights before finishing it.

After the end of the government, he spent another month pampering the resentful beauties in the harem one by one!
One day, when Cao Mao was teaching his eldest son Cao Long how to use weapons, he saw an official rushing over.

"His Majesty!"

Cao Mao handed the weapon to Cao Long and told him to practice more, then came over,

"What's the matter?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have come here to invite Your Majesty to pass by the order of Minister Lu of the Ordnance Department."

The official said respectfully.

"understood."

Cao Mao nodded, and led the official out of the palace.

he asked bluntly,
"Do you know why Minister Lu asked me to come over?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the steam engine that His Majesty ordered Minister Lu to study has made great progress, so Minister Lu asked His Majesty to go and have a look."

The official of the Ordnance Department laughed.

Cao Mao was taken aback for a moment, but was immediately overjoyed.

If the steam engine can be successfully developed, it will greatly improve the overall strength of Longguo!
Without hesitation, he quickened his pace.

After a while, Cao Mao brought Dian Wei, Xu Chu and his party to the station of the Ordnance Department outside the city.

As soon as he came to the courtyard where Lu Xiaohang was, he heard a roar of "woo hoo".

Looking up, I saw a simple railroad track in the spacious backyard.

An ugly looking locomotive is running on this track.

Hearing his subordinates report Cao Mao's arrival, Lu Xiaohang and Huang Yueying rushed over and saluted him,
"I have seen Your Majesty!"

"Free gift!"

Cao Mao waved his hand and said with a smile,
"Minister Lu, I didn't expect you to prepare such a generous gift for me without saying a word!"

It has been two years since Lu Xiaohang gave the blueprint of the steam engine.

Cao Mao has never paid attention to the progress, and even once thought that Lu Xiaohang had failed in research and development.

"Hey, how dare I forget about His Majesty's instructions. I have been working hard over the past few years before I finally figured it out."

Lu Xiaohang rubbed the back of his head and laughed loudly, without any airs of being a minister of the Dragon Kingdom.

"Tell me about your progress."

Cao Mao smiled.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after preliminary tests, the steam train His Majesty said has no problems and can be officially put on the road."

Lu Xiaohang said seriously.

"Very well, you did a great job!"

Cao Mao nodded happily, and his eyes were full of joy as he looked at the slow-moving train.

The successful development of steam engines not only means that trains have been manufactured, but also steamships, automobiles...

In this way, the navy of the Dragon Kingdom will become stronger and stronger, not to mention exploring the Americas before the whites, and expeditions to Europe are no problem!
With technology that is hundreds or even thousands of years ahead of the current world, even if Cao Mao is gone in the future, there is no need to fear that Huaxia will be bullied by foreigners again!
Thinking of this, Cao Mao couldn't help feeling excited, and waved his hand,
"Come here, hold a banquet, I won't return tonight until I'm drunk!"

……

For the next period of time, Cao Mao stayed in Chang'an City.

While handling government affairs, he worked hard in the harem.

With his unremitting efforts, most of the beauties in the harem also successfully conceived dragon sons.

On the other hand, the performance of the steam engine has been tested repeatedly, and finally began to be officially applied.

It took half a year for the Ministry of Ordnance to lay the first railway from Chang'an City to Tongguan.

Not long after the railway was completed, the steam train was also brought to the world for the first time!
The civil servants and generals who were invited to participate were all shocked by this machine after they arrived in Tongguan by train!

"This thing doesn't eat or drink, and doesn't need to rest. It can travel thousands of miles a day. It's really amazing!"

Guo Jia couldn't help but praise.

With his great foresight, he can see at a glance the epoch-making significance of this thing!

In time, the railway network will be spread throughout the entire Shenlong Empire, and the imperial court's control over each state will be strengthened!

"Your Majesty, I heard that this thing can still be installed on a ship?"

Gan Ning touched his chin, but he was concerned about other things.

"Not bad!"

Cao Mao nodded with a smile,

"Not only can it be loaded on a boat, but it can even be loaded on a carriage!"

Imagining a warship that does not rely on sails and manpower, and a car that does not rely on horses, everyone is also excited!

At that time, which other countries can compete with the Dragon Empire?
After everyone arrived at Tongguan, they rested for a while, then took the train again and rushed back to Chang'an City.

As soon as Cao Mao got off the train, Zhou Cang hurried over,
"Your Majesty, Lieutenant Sili just sent someone over, saying that a person who claimed to be an envoy from the Parthian Empire came to see His Majesty."

Now it is Cao Mao's father-in-law Lu Bu who is serving as the lieutenant of Sili and defending Chang'an City.

Envoy of the Parthian Empire?
Cao Mao frowned slightly, then nodded and said,
"Bring that messenger to the palace, I want to see him."

"Here!"

Zhou Cang took the order and left.
