Chapter 68
Jiangxia County.

government office.

Su Ming sat in the middle of the lobby and said to Xu Shu, "Yuan Zhi! I'll ask the prime minister for the money."

"However, if you want to build an invincible navy, you have to build a ship. There is one more thing you need to help me solve for this ship building."

Xu Shu is a counselor, not a god.

Su Ming needed money, and he needed it urgently. Xu Shu had no choice but to ask Su Ming to ask Prime Minister Cao for it.

Cao Cao has a strong army and a large territory, but he has a shortcoming, that is, he has no navy at all.

It is also Cao Cao's expectation to build a powerful navy.As long as Cao Cao can defeat Yuan Shao, then his next target must be Liu Biao in Jingzhou, or Sun Quan in Jiangdong.

Whether it's fighting Liu Biao in Jingzhou or Sun Quan in Jiangdong, you need the navy to contribute.

Therefore, it should not be difficult for Su Ming to ask Cao Cao for money.

Putting aside the matter of making money first, Su Ming decided to let Xu Shu do another matter first.

"My lord has something to do, just say it outright!" Xu Shu responded.

Su Ming took out a few pamphlets from his bosom, these pamphlets were really the method of refining refined steel, as well as the method of building naval vessels and ordnance inherited from Qi Jiguang's martial soul.

"Yuan Zhi, skilled craftsmen are needed to build these things. Do you know any skilled craftsmen, and help me introduce them?" Su Ming asked Xu Shu.

Xu Shu took a look at the booklet in Su Ming's hand, and couldn't help sighing, "Master, you still have these treasures?"

"If the things in these brochures are built, why should we be afraid of the Jiangdong navy!"

Although Xu Shu didn't have a deep understanding of craftsman's skills, he did know a little bit.

He just took a look and saw the exquisiteness of the objects in this booklet.

It seems that the lord wants money and finds a craftsman just to build the things in this booklet.

If all the things in this booklet are forged, defeating the Jiangdong Navy is just a snap of the fingers.

At that time, the six counties in Jiangdong and the nine counties in Jingxiang will all be in the lord's pocket.

Since Xu Shu worshiped Su Ming as his lord, he wanted to seek the world for Su Ming.

You know, Su Ming's identity is very embarrassing.

Although Su Ming is Cao Cao's son, he is an illegitimate son.

Since ancient times, there have been no illegitimate children who have inherited the throne.

Not to mention illegitimate children, it is difficult for a concubine to inherit the big position.

What's more, the status of illegitimate children is far worse than that of bastards.

Therefore, in Xu Shu's view, when Cao Cao was alive, Su Ming might be able to stick close to this big tree.

After all, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

However, if Cao Cao was gone that day, there would be some things that Su Ming would want to snatch.

At that time, the six counties in Jiangdong will be the foundation of Su Ming, and the nine counties in Jingxiang will be the springboard for Su Ming.

Therefore, the six counties in Jiangdong and the nine counties in Jingxiang must be taken.

Shipbuilding, ordnance, these things require a skilled craftsman who can be called a master to be responsible.

Ordinary craftsmen are easy to find, but this craftsman who can be called a master is not so easy to find.

However, Xu Shu happened to have a candidate in mind.

Xu Shu thought about it for a moment, then pondered: "My lord, I have a good friend named Huang Chengyan, who is a famous scholar in Mianyang. He is proficient in the mechanics of the Mohist school, and his craftsman skills can be called a master."

"By the way, he also has a daughter named Huang Yueying. She is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, but she is better than blue. Her craftsman skills are even better than his father Huang Chengyan."

Huang Chengyan?
Huang Yueying?
After Xu Shu mentioned Huang Chengyan's name, Su Ming immediately thought of Huang Yueying.

According to historical records, this is Zhuge Liang's daughter-in-law. She is proficient in organs and artisans.

Even in some forums of later generations, some people discussed that Zhuge Liang's organ skills were learned from his wife Huang Yueying.

Xu Shu said that Huang Chengyan was proficient in mechanism skills, didn't he mean that Huang Yueying learned mechanism techniques from Huang Chengyan.

It is still 200 years now, Zhuge Liang should still be studying with Mr. Shui Jing, and he should not be married to Huang Yueying yet.

Since you haven't married yet, don't do it.

Huang Chengyan and Huang Yueying, two master craftsmen who are proficient in Mohism mechanism, are going to be rounded up by themselves.

"Military Master, I will leave this matter to you!"

"Since I'm your friend, you have to persuade them to help me no matter what!" Su Ming gave Xu Shu a task.

Upon hearing this, Xu Shu's heart tightened, and he quickly shook his head and said, "My lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince you!"

"You are now Prime Minister Cao's subordinate in name, and because of this alone, Huang Chengyan might not want to work for you."

Hearing this, Su Ming was puzzled for a while.

Cao Cao is now a rare great prince in the world, and his power can be said to be second only to Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu.

No, it should be said that it is on par with Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu.

It stands to reason that these counselors and celebrities should flock to them!

"Why?" Su Ming asked a little puzzled.

Xu Shu said with some embarrassment: "They are celebrities! And they are celebrities who have not yet become officials."

"The favorite thing for these celebrities who haven't become officials is to drink some wine and scold the world."

"After they drank, Prime Minister Cao was the one who scolded the most."

When Xu Shu said this, Su Ming understood.

Cao Cao cooperated with the emperor to order the princes, and slaughtered Xuzhou three times. These things have long been spread all over the world.

These things, in the eyes of these celebrities, are not what Mingzhu said.

Thinking about this, Su Ming couldn't help sighing, thinking, Lao Cao!Lao Cao, you are making it more difficult for me!
However, Su Ming thought again, since Xu Shu had mentioned Huang Chengyan's name, he must have a way to make Huang Chengyan use it for him.

"Yuanzhi, don't be a fool!"

"Since you mentioned Huang Chengyan, there must be a solution! Say it quickly!" Su Ming urged.

Xu Shu smiled slightly and explained: "When I was with Mr. Shui Jing, I often drank and chatted with them. I can't understand Huang Chengyan's temperament very well."

"He is the oldest among our group of people. The reason why he has not become an official is because he wants to vote for a prince who can win the world and has a better reputation."

"That's why! My lord wants Huang Chengyan to use him for himself, but he definitely won't do it!"

"If you invite him, he will definitely not come. Therefore, he must be tied!"

"My lord sent someone to kidnap him to Jiangxia. My friend is very afraid of death. At that time, my lord will threaten the lives of his father and daughter."

"At that time, I will make peace with it, and Huang Chengyan is expected to use it for the Lord."

"It takes a long time to see people's hearts. After he gradually understands the difference between the lord and the prime minister, he will definitely assist with all his heart."

After hearing this strategy, Su Ming couldn't help laughing and said, "Yuan Zhi, I didn't expect that!"

"You can come up with good plans as well as tricks!"

Xu Shu smiled slightly, and said, "My lord, stop teasing me. My good friend has wasted half his life, and he cares too much!"

"I used this strategy to let him worship under the lord's command, which can be regarded as finding a wise master for him."
