The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

"The main reason is that His Majesty put out the fire in a timely manner and did not cause more damage. There are not many places that need to be repaired, and some buildings basically do not need to be repaired by the government." Cao Cao replied.

Unless it is a public building and some administrative buildings, otherwise, it only needs to set aside an area, and then the people of Luoyang will solve the rest by themselves.

Of course, during this repair, according to Liu Tao's intention, he took the opportunity to set up a lot of 'public toilets'.It also requires that as long as you enter Luoyang City, you can't defecate or spit anywhere. If you are caught, you will have to do [-] days of hard labor.

Cao Cao didn't know why he did this. Anyway, during that period of time, there were a lot of hard labor, and he felt that this regulation was set up to trick some people into hard labor.

It was not until recently that I discovered that fewer and fewer people can be cheated, but the streets are getting cleaner and cleaner.Once the streets are clean, the people of Luoyang City will be more reluctant to spit or defecate everywhere, because it will attract too much attention.

In the past, if you find a corner, who cares about you, no one cares. Anyway, Luoyang’s sewer system is so good that everything will be solved when it rains.But not now, before you unbutton your obscene pants, the people around you are looking at you...

At the same time, the excrement collected can be used as farm manure after being fermented.There is no need to hire someone to transport it, just tell the people around that they know that this thing can fertilize the fields. In order to grab the stock of a public toilet, the people don't know how long they have been fighting for, and finally delineated the "commitment area".

Due to the population problem, the building debris after the fire has been cleaned up, but it also directly led to a lot of empty land.Some people would never come back once they left, so Cao Cao simply took all the land back to the government and sold it again.

This also directly led to the decline of land prices in Luoyang. Even so, those who didn't want to come still didn't come, and those who wanted to come felt that the price was too high. Therefore, there were still many places without houses, which seemed empty.

However, if Liu Tao moved his capital here, then the situation would be different, what was not worth it would become worth it, and he would even think it was worth it.

It really doesn't take three years, and it is conservatively estimated that it will be almost recovered in one year.It's just that it will be difficult to be as prosperous as before without three years.

"That's it..." Liu Tao didn't say anything, he didn't say he wanted to move the capital, he didn't say he wouldn't move the capital, his expression didn't change, it wasn't clear whether he had thought about it or not.

Cao Cao had no choice but to follow him obediently, came to the palace, and inspected it.

In the end, Liu Tao waved away the others in the Nangong Hall, leaving Cao Cao alone.

The two faced each other, Liu Tao signaled him to sit down, and said, "Now, just the two of us, let's have a good chat!"

Chapter 548 Meeting the Two Kings

"The matter of your father... I am very sorry." The two sat down, Liu Tao knew that he would not speak, Cao Cao did not dare to speak first, so he could only start first.

"It's a great honor to receive your Majesty's care!" Cao Cao replied with some excitement.

Of course, Liu Tao could tell that this was just a superficial talk, and he couldn't see how sincere it was.

It is undeniable that the big man has benefited a lot from the death of Cao Song.Cao Cao suggested using this matter to make a fuss in exchange for the court's chance to seek justice for his father, which can only be regarded as a transaction.

Only a fool would resign and act as an assassin to assassinate Tao Qian or something.As a politician, being able to drag the country into the water and help him avenge him is called ability!

"I have planned that the army will attack all the way to the bottom of Pengcheng. At the very least, Peijun will also be brought down. In Tao Qian's later years, he must guard Qing's father's tomb to make atonement. I wonder if this is acceptable to Qing?" Liu Tao asked.

"Thank you, sir!" Cao Cao bowed to Liu Tao with 'excitement' upon hearing this.Whether it was true or not is hard to say, after all, he had only one father to die in history, but he was slaughtered all the way to the bottom of Pengcheng, and he didn't know how many people were buried with his father.

Of course, there are also sayings that Cao Cao just used an excuse to avenge his father, with the purpose of capturing Xuzhou.

The city was indeed slaughtered at the beginning, and the purpose was to let the follow-up cities get the news and surrender as soon as Cao Jun arrived.In fact, it didn't take Cao Cao much time to kill Pengcheng.

Considering that Liu Bei will be assigned to Peijun in the future, and there will be an expansion of [-] to [-] troops there, the latter is more likely.

Of course, regardless of the purpose of massacres and tomb robberies, Cao Cao's reputation was extremely black because of this.

In addition, he was good at killing famous people before, so when Lu Bu came over, Chen Gong took the lead, Zhang Miao and others abandoned Cao Cao, and recommended Lu Bu to be the shepherd of Yanzhou.

Liu Tao felt that if attacking Xuzhou was just an excuse, then the conditions he gave were enough.

"At the moment when the court is still employing people, I can't approve you to observe mourning for your father for three months. At most, I can only approve you for one month. Counting the journey back and forth, you must come back within two months, is it possible?" Liu Tao continued to ask.

"A minister is a Han minister, and it is his duty to serve the court..." Of course Cao Cao has no problem. In other words, most officials, even if their parents have died and have to keep their filial piety, have to find a way to 'retain their love'.

Especially during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it really took three years to keep filial piety.After three years of filial piety, who in the court still remembers you?Even if he could continue to be an official, he would probably be marginalized.

"Is there any other request? This time Qing can be regarded as a meritorious service for the court, and I plan to reward you well." Liu Tao asked.

"It's against filial piety to take advantage of the death of my father. If you still ask for rewards based on this, I think I will lose face in the future." Cao Cao shook his head. There are other things to talk about, but there is no way to do this.

"In this case..." Liu Tao thought for a while, "Cao Cao, the governor of Sizhou, made great contributions to the reconstruction of Luoyang, and was granted the title of Marquis of Xu County, with [-] households in Shiyi. There is no way for this love to refuse, right?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Cao Cao was really agitated this time, and thanked him quickly.

After encouraging Cao Cao a few more words, Liu Tao got up and went out with him.The incident was indeed caused by Cao Cao, but in the end it was the death of his father, so the courtiers still need to take care of their mood so as not to leave some bad hidden dangers.

Others don't care, Cao Cao, a "capable minister in the world, a traitor in troubled times", if he really wants to mess up, the threat is definitely not considered, but it will bring him a lot of trouble.

In Luoyang, Liu Tao only stayed for one day, mainly to prevent Xun Yu from being too difficult, so the schedule was a bit rushed.

After confirming that Cao Cao was fine, Liu Tao began to march eastward.There are not many mountains, and the road is much easier to walk. With the addition of acceleration and leather boots, a hundred miles a day is considered slow.

After two or three days, Liu Tao's team had already arrived at Chenliu, and then rested here.Earlier, someone had been sent to inform Liu Chong and Liu Dai, and even Guan Yu, who was leading the army this time, was waiting here.

Therefore, when Liu Tao came here, the troops from the three parties had already gathered here.

"Nephew pays homage to His Majesty!" Liu Chong was still the same, and when he saw Liu Tao, he came up to salute enthusiastically.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!" Liu Dai was a little more well-behaved, and it was a plus for not claiming to be a vassal king.

"After the war against Dong, the three of us haven't been together for a while. I've brought a few royal chefs this time. I'll borrow a place tonight and prepare some food and wine. The three of us have a good drink!" Liu Tao stepped forward and laughed. road.

"Where is there, Your Majesty will come here in person, and I should prepare the banquet." Liu Dai immediately took the initiative to invite Ying after hearing this.

"You guys don't understand, I love food because the imperial chef researches dishes in different ways and improves his skills. It's not that I boast, the best chef of a big man probably comes from my imperial dining room. Haha, let's not talk about these, anyway, good tonight A delicious meal is enough." Liu Tao laughed, "Come on, let's go to the Yamen first, we three relatives have a good chat."

Liu Dai and Liu Chong looked at each other and smiled when they heard the words. With the word "relative" Liu Tao, everything is safe.

The closest you are to your family, the closest you are to your relatives, and the most trustworthy you are to the township party.When Liu Tao started his family, Liu Yuanqi was worried about what would happen if Zhang Fei and others would gain power and disregard the oath, so he specially prepared a group of Liu's children to serve as personal guards for Liu Tao.

Let’s talk about Xu Chu and Li Dian. The former brought five hundred clansmen to join Liu Chong; Li Dian followed his father and brought thousands of clansmen to join Liu Dai; .

When Cao Cao raised his troops, the Cao clan relatives responded first, and then the Xiahou clan, the clan relatives of Cao Cao's blood, responded.

Liu Tao said that the relatives of the two, so the clan members don't value them, so can they trust foreign ministers so much? !

The three came to the government office of Chenliu County. Even the current prefect of Chenliu County had to give way to the three of them, obediently waited on the side, and only King Dingxiang could come in with the three and sit on an equal footing. Guan Yu.

But this meeting is very important, Guan Yu didn't follow up, but led people to guard the surroundings to ensure Liu Tao's safety.

"The three of us are relatives, and some things don't need to go through so many detours." Liu Tao looked at the two of them, "I am here this time. One is to inspect General Annan's headquarters to encourage the soldiers. The other is to encourage the soldiers. Came for two."

In the hearts of the two, they already roughly knew what Liu Tao meant by going south.It's just that when Liu Tao said it, he still felt a little uncomfortable.After all, he was originally a vassal with real power and even qualified to become an emperor. Now he might be cut down, which must be uncomfortable.

"I actually understand that it's not easy for the two of you to build this foundation. It's just that it's better to suffer sooner than later. If we really can't bear it at that time, the three of us will quarrel because of it. It's not good for anyone. It's better to talk about it earlier Let's talk, what's there to discuss." Liu Tao looked at the two of them, "You think that's what I said, right?"

"Then, according to His Majesty's wishes, where should we go?" Liu Dai was silent for a while, and finally raised his head and asked.

Liu Chong didn't say anything, but silently looked at Liu Tao, intending to listen to Liu Tao's reply first.
