Chapter 57: Welcoming the Son of Heaven into Chen Liu, Moving the Capital to Xuchang!!

A few days later, Cao Chen and others escorted the Han Emperor Liu Xieliu to a few miles outside Chen Liu, and Cao Chen and Zhao Yun and others rode white horses in front.

“The Qi Qijun Division, the Lord Duke and others have been greeted outside the city.”

Listening to a guard’s report, Cao Chen looked at Chen Liu not far in front of him, a smile appeared on his face, and ordered aloud.

“The whole army obeys the order and speeds up the march!”

“No!”

The generals responded in unison, and the news soon spread throughout the army, and all the generals and soldiers were elated and quickened their pace.

In a gorgeous carriage in the queue, Liu Xie listened to the movement outside, a brilliant light flashed in his eyes, Chen Liu should not be far away!

I just don’t know if that Cao Cao is a good minister and can help him revitalize the Han family, but Liu Xie is also a little apprehensive in his heart.

If that Cao Cao is no different from Dong Zhuo, then he must have escaped from the tiger’s den and then entered the wolf’s den, and he can only look at Cao Cao’s attitude first.

Just as Liu Xie was thinking in his heart, the team had already arrived in front of Chen Liucheng, and Cao Chen and the others had already dismounted and waited, watching Liu Xie’s carriage coming.

When Liu Xie got off the carriage, Cao Cao greeted him with a respectful attitude and a graceful bow, and said in unison.

“I’ll wait to see Your Majesty!”

Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao and the others, his face relaxed, seeing that the attitude of these people should not be like Dong Zhuo, who despised the imperial power of the Han family.

“You Aiqing don’t need to be polite, and enter the city, the soldiers have worked hard!”

Liu Xie’s slightly majestic voice sounded, and Cao Cao and the others escorted Liu Xie towards the city, while the soldiers returned to the barracks.

Only Zhao Yun led five hundred snow dragon horses, and Dian Wei followed closely with five hundred tiger guards, and the group soon arrived in Chen Liucheng.

Such a big movement naturally could not be hidden from the people, and the streets were already crowded with people, watching Cao Cao and others supporting Liu Xie to move forward, and they all spoke.

“Congratulations to the generals on their triumphant return, destroy the national thief Dong Zhuo, and welcome back to Your Majesty!”

“The generals are finally rescued from the hands of Dong thief, God bless my big man!”

“General Cao’s soldiers are very brave, I am waiting to congratulate the soldiers!”

“I’ll wait to see Your Majesty…”

Looking at the smiles on the faces of the people, Liu Xie’s eyes were also full of joy, which was especially satisfying for Liu Xie since he became emperor.

Cao Cao and the others temporarily arranged Liu Xie in a prepared courtyard, and after arranging waiting, Cao Cao took his subordinates to respectfully salute before leaving.

When Cao Cao and Cao Chen returned to the Cao Mansion, Mrs. Ding greeted Cao Ang and others with a smile on their faces, and Mrs. Ding said with a smile.

“Zizhan has worked hard in Chang’an this time, and he looks a little emaciated!”

After speaking, he glanced at Cao Cao fiercely, Cao Cao naturally avoided Mrs. Ding, his eyes were a little fluttering, and Cao Chen said with a bitter smile.

“Master mother, this trip is not hard, it is equivalent to an outing to Chang’an, you don’t see it takes much time!”

“I waited to successfully take Chang’an City, welcome His Majesty back, by the way, Lord Mother, I also brought you a gift!”

After Cao Chen finished speaking, he took out a mutton fat jade bracelet from his arms and handed it to Mrs. Ding, who said with a smile on her face.

“Zizhan has a heart, Chan’er and Yan’er’s have it, they are still talking about you these days!”

Cao Chen nodded quickly, and Mrs. Ding saw that the smile on her face was even greater, and pulled Cao Chen to eat.

Cao Ang and the others also followed Cao Chen, constantly asking about Chang’an, and the four-year-old Cao Pi also asked in a milky voice.

The ignored Cao Cao’s face was slightly dark, and he said in his heart that Cao Chen was his own son, and he didn’t know how to bring gifts to himself.

However, seeing Cao Chen getting along happily with Cao Ang and other brothers, a smile also appeared on his face, and he accelerated his pace and followed.

After the meal, Cao Chen directly summoned a Jinyi Wei who was rewarded by the system to directly teach the method of mineral salt purification.

After all, this salt making method is cross-era, and Cao Chen can only find the most loyal Jinyi Wei first, and let him contact him to carry out the operation.

Find the faithful, build simple tools, refine them in a house in the city, and have samples that are more convincing.

When Cao Chen went to visit Cai Yan and the sable cicada, sent back two exquisite jade hairpins from Chang’an, and talked to each other, Cao Chen got the purified refined salt.

Cao Chen directly carried this small bag of refined salt and came to the study to discuss with Cao Cao, who was checking the battle report from Jinyiwei.

“Zizhan is here, take a seat, but what are you carrying in this hand?”

Cao Cao looked at Cao Chen who walked in and asked, Cao Chen did not speak, but directly opened the brocade bag, handed it to Cao Cao, and said aloud.

“Lord Qi, this is the refined salt extracted by the new method, you see how this color is!”

Looking at the refined salt like snowflakes, Cao Cao looked surprised, after all, there had never been such refined salt on the market, and Cao Cao stretched out his hand a little in disbelief.

After putting it in his mouth and tasting it, there was no half bitterness, only salty, Cao Cao’s eyes flashed, and he asked a little urgently.

“Zi Zhan, how much money is this salt, the cost is not high, can it be mass-produced?”

Facing Cao Cao’s successive questions, Cao Chen was a little unhurried and explained to Cao Cao with a smile.

“This is made by mineral salt purification, the cost is not high, and as long as you find a salt mine, you can easily mass produce it with tools.”

Cao Chen said the simple process of purification again, and Cao Cao listened attentively, and after listening, Cao Cao laughed and said.

“As soon as this refined salt comes out, the salt on the market will no longer be marketable, so that the people can also afford to eat salt, and I can still make a profit later!”

“But put aside at this time, now that His Majesty has arrived in Chen Liu, I should talk about how I should develop and speak freely!”

Cao Cao was very convinced of Cao Chen’s plan, after all, most of the current rapid development is Cao Chen’s credit, Cao Chen said after a slight groan.

“Lord Qiyu, the first thing I have to do is to recruit soldiers, although I have captured the Xiliang Iron Horse and cooperated with Zhang Ji’s uncle and nephew!”

“But I am still waiting for too few soldiers and horses, I am waiting for now that there is no shortage of money and food, it is time to expand the scale, and I can raise it when I recruit soldiers on a large scale!”

“I will wait for Chang’an to transport back countless belongings, plus Your Majesty will be welcomed back to Chen Liu by me and others, it will inevitably attract others to covet!”

Hearing what Cao Chen said, Cao Cao nodded with deep understanding, after all, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, and while destroying Dong Zhuo, he will also be jealous.

Whether it is for self-preservation or development, it is necessary to recruit soldiers, Cao Cao’s face showed a trace of caution, and he immediately said.

“Recruit, must recruit, first recruit 108,000, after all, when Xuchang will build a new capital, I can’t wait for only the people stationed there.”

“And Yuan Shao has already occupied Jizhou and is planning Qingzhou, and Yuan Shu is guarding Qingzhou in his pocket, I should also speed up development!”

“There were still some scruples before, but now that His Majesty is here, I can start the action later, after all, Chen Liu is still too young!”

When he said the last time, Cao Cao’s face had already brightened, and he continued to discuss other things with Cao Chen until it was getting late.

The next day, after a day’s rest, Cao Cao gathered everyone to the council chamber, and Cao Cao, who was sitting on the main throne, spoke first.

“Zi Zhan, the Dong thief has been removed, Your Majesty has been welcomed back to Chen Liu by me, how should I arrange it next?”

Everyone also turned their eyes to Cao Chen, and everyone was now convinced of the military division who was sitting at the head of the year.

Cao Chen had already talked with Cao Cao yesterday, and knew that Cao Cao was making a prestige for himself by doing this, Cao Chen’s face was natural and said aloud.

“First of all, Xuchang is used as the new capital, and the imperial palace should be built quickly, so that I can wait and act, and at the same time avoid letting the princes of the world catch me and other sore spots!”

“I have found a master architect Li Chun, and now that I have a lot of money and food, I can gather enough people to build a palace together!”

“At the same time, releasing the news that the Son of Heaven is in Chen Liu, issuing a recruitment order, there are many vacancies in the court!”

Speaking of this, Cao Chen paused, looking at the different faces of everyone, many of them had already surfaced their intentions, and many of them planned to call friends and friends.

Cao Chen and Cao Cao looked at each other, and both smiled, this is the advantage of welcoming back the Son of Heaven and occupying the righteousness, there are still many people loyal to the Han family.

In addition, there are many vacancies in the court, and the military generals and strategists who are keen on fame and fortune will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and there will naturally be many like-minded people.

“Lord Qiyu, King Shang of Xuchang Taishou has handed over the command of Xuchang, and General Zixiao has taken over the city defense!”

A soldier came in to report, and suddenly everyone’s eyes lit up, and Cao Cao waved his hand to let the soldier go down, and said with a smile.

“The news is just right, then the construction work of Xuchang will start tomorrow, let Li Chun mentioned by Zizhan be responsible for the construction!”

“It is necessary to speed up, and at the same time the recruitment order will be issued, regardless of family lineage, talented people can come!”

“Lord Gong Ming!”

As soon as Cao Cao’s voice fell, many people said in unison, after all, many people’s family lineage is generally not reused, but they did not expect Cao Cao to give such an order.

This made many strategists and warriors respect Cao Cao a little more, and Cao Cao took everyone to discuss the specific details before they dispersed.

In the following months, Xuchang began to build the palace and paid a lot of money, so that the people flocked to the palace, and the construction speed was three points faster.

When recruiting soldiers, the people burst out with great enthusiasm, but at Cao Chen’s suggestion, they mainly recruited elite soldiers.

Even though the threshold for recruiting soldiers is high, nearly 50,000 soldiers have been recruited, and they are all physically strong soldiers, and their combat effectiveness has improved rapidly during training.

With the issuance of the recruitment order, coupled with the call for friends and friends under Cao Cao, more and more strategists and military generals rushed to Chen Liu.

Cao Cao directly asked people to examine their talents, not to look at their family lineage, and they gained a lot of good talents, and many children of the Han Sect were also reused.

A few months later, with the hard work of the people, the imperial palace in Xuchang was built, and Cao Cao and others immediately escorted the Han Emperor Liu Xie to relocate to Xuchang.
