Yecheng, inside the workshop.
Liu Ye, who is in charge of the workshop, has been very busy recently, and it is imminent to go south to Jingzhou. All the siege equipment in the north will be planned and dispatched by him alone.Because of this, it was the first time Liu Ye appeared in this workshop in the past three days.
At such a busy time.But he also received a wooden ox and a wooden horse sent by Xu Chu.
Liu Ye observed it casually, and found it not unusual.With a wave of his hand, he was carried into the warehouse.
Because I received a military order before, asking the workshop to manufacture a siege equipment suitable for attacking Xiangyang.
Liu Ye's mind was about to explode, but he didn't have a clue.
Xiangyang City is surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It occupies the upper reaches of the Han River.
How can it be so easy to create a weapon suitable for offense?
When Zheng Zheng was worried, he suddenly heard a report from a guard that a young man who claimed to be in charge of the workshop wanted to see Liu Ye!
Liu Ye was taken aback, the workshop manager, isn't he himself?Out of nowhere came another guy who pretended to be in charge of the workshop.
The guard showed Cao Sikong's letter and explained it in detail before he understood it.
It turned out that Cao Sikong appointed the fifth son, Cao Xiong, to be in charge of the workshop, and he also asked his concubine Cao Lin to accompany him.
Cao Xiong and Liu Ye are no strangers.
The protagonist in yesterday's meeting stirred up the situation in the north by relying on the answer sheet with only two words "Prime Minister".
He is even more eloquent and good at sophistry, which makes the erudite Kong Rong, Kong Shaofu, Xun Yu and Xun Lingjun willing to bow down!
Now it's all the rage.
Cao Cao asked him to come to the workshop, but he didn't know what his idea was.
"A 15-year-old child also knows the equipment for marching and fighting?"
Liu Ye asked himself, and felt that Cao Sikong's edict was a bit sloppy.
Even if you want to reward the Fifth Young Master Cao Xiong, you shouldn't entrust him with such an important job in charge of the studio, right?
With a faint smile, Liu Ye was not optimistic about the Fifth Young Master when it came to marching and siege equipment.
"My lord, you don't know that the wooden ox and the flowing horse were made by the Fifth Young Master Cao Xiong."
Seeing Liu Ye's disapproval, a follower beside him reminded him.
Liu Ye said casually: "It's just a child's play." Then he waved his hand and planned to meet the fifth son.
Liu Ye naturally knew that the fourth son, Cao Zhi, was in the hands of the fifth son. You must know that although Liu Ye and Cao Zhi were 15 years apart in age, they hit it off right away, and they were close friends.
Liu Ye didn't say anything, but he still felt a little bit aggrieved for the fourth son Cao Zhi in his heart.
"Dada"
Liu Ye went downstairs by the ladder, just in time to see the fifth son Cao Xiong and the concubine Cao Lin looking around in the workshop.
The corner of Liu Ye's mouth twitched, and he asked his subordinates with a smile: "Can a 15-year-old child understand it?"
Then walked away with a smile.
When they came to Cao Xiong's side, Liu Ye and his subordinates were very respectful: "I've seen the fifth son!"
"No, no! That's not the right name! Salute again."
Cao Xiong didn't turn his face back, and ordered Liu Ye and his subordinates to salute again.
Liu Ye met his subordinates' eyes.
All of them are dignified and dignified, so it would be nice to salute this kid, but he is still picky, even if he is Cao Sikong's direct son, so what?
He has no official title, and this is not Sikong's mansion, but it seems that this workshop is really his one-third of an acre of land.
Suddenly, Liu Ye shivered.
Isn't it mentioned in Cao Sikong's handbook that he should be the head of the workshop?
It really is this kid's one-acre three-point land.
But just in charge?
It would be easier if there were only official positions but no official titles.
Chapter 110 Official position!Title!
Although a little unconvinced, Liu Ye saluted respectfully again: "I have seen the master of the workshop."
Cao Xiong nodded, "This is much more pleasing to the ear."
Then he turned around and said to Liu Ye: "Deputy Manager Liu, you have to remember that although I am the son of Cao Sikong.
But outside, especially in this workshop, I am in charge, your immediate boss, you need to keep this in mind, and then call me fifth son, don't blame me for severely punishing you. "
Hearing Cao Xiong's words, Liu Ye felt mixed emotions, if he hadn't had a good temper, he would have scolded back a long time ago.
It's just that it's always unpleasant to hold back curse words in your stomach.
These uncomfortable emotions are summed up, and the easy-to-understand point is two words: aggrieved!
It would be much more refreshing if you could scold it!
Liu Ye tried his best to adjust his mood, and said: "The subordinate officials will keep in mind the words of the boss, but I just have a question."
"You just mention it?"
"Cao Sikong appointed you to be in charge of the workshop, but I don't know if there is anyone in the official rank who canonize you?"
"Official rank?" Cao Xiong was taken aback, he really didn't understand the meaning of this word.
After seeing Cao Xiong's expression, Liu Ye felt a lot more relaxed. It turns out that he is a son with only official positions and no official ranks, so there is no need to be afraid of him.
Thinking of this, Liu Ye raised his head, and then ordered the followers around him not to salute anymore.
"Although this official's status is not valuable, he can be regarded as Cang Cao, a subordinate of Da Sikong. He was ordered by the emperor and Sikong to manage workshops and warehouses. The so-called workshop manager is just a temporary position. It did not appear in the Han Dynasty. on the name of the official."
When Liu Ye spoke up to this point, with a wisp of beard, "I'm afraid that the person in charge will have to address you next time, my lord."
Cao Xiong thought carefully.
Hey!This Liu Ye really has a clear understanding of the official rank system.
Cao Xiong suffers from this, because in universities, courses about the ancient official rank system are often arranged at 8 o'clock in the morning. At this time, under normal circumstances, Cao Xiong spends it in his sleep.
I didn't expect that because of this, I have suffered a big loss now.
If you have a better understanding of ancient governance, you should ask Cao Cao for a specific rank, not a position.
The current situation in the workshop, because Cao Xiong has no official rank, is somewhat out of control.
It's like, today, you are a cadre who is a member of the staff, and you are pushed to the position of a minister.
Then I would like to ask, can a higher-ranking deputy minister convince you, a member of the staff, to show off in front of him?
Even if it's a slightly lower-level office director, it probably won't look good to you, right?
This is the problem Cao Xiong is facing now.
Although he is in charge of the highest position in the workshop, he has no official rank. Facing this group of officials with official ranks, he can't hold back!
Cao Xiong didn't know.
Cao Cao was talking about the fifth son with several generals in Qilin Pavilion at this time.
Cao Cao said with a smile: "My fifth son, Cao Xiong, is very good at sophistry. That day, he took the position of managing the workshop from me. He heard that he went to the workshop early this morning. He must be in a bad mood! "
Xiahou Dun was a little puzzled: "Since there is a handwritten letter from Meng De who is in charge, how dare Liu Ye make things difficult for him?"
Xia Houyuan laughed: "This statement is wrong. If Meng De casually promoted a small soldier to lead the three armies without giving him an official title, would you, Xiahou Dun, who is a great general, want to obey him?"
When Xiahou Dun heard it, he also shook his head with a smile.
Indeed, if this happened to him, he would not be convinced that such an unknown person should be his immediate boss.
How could a mere pawn be able to show off his power in front of his general?
Cao Cao laughed, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said to himself, "I have to let my five sons and sons suffer some setbacks. Otherwise, wouldn't this little sapling grow too proud?"
Everyone nodded. It is true that Cao Xiong has become more aggressive recently, so he should suffer some setbacks.
It was very good for him.
Chapter 111
In the studio, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Cao Xiong really couldn't refute anything?Cao Lin tugged at his sleeve, signaling to forget it.
Cao Xiong couldn't swallow this breath.
"Then what do you mean, I shouldn't be in this workshop at all?"
Liu Ye expected that Cao Xiong would ask this question.Immediately replied:
"Since Cao Sikong is in charge, it's okay to appear in this workshop, but I can't guarantee whether I can command these carpenters and these attendants."
This old fox!Cao Xiong cursed secretly.
Isn't the meaning clear?Because he doesn't have an official title, the attendants in the workshop will definitely not listen to him!
Carpenter? Huh!He is a 15-year-old boy, who would be convinced?
In the final analysis, Cao Xiong is simply a workshop manager in name only!
"Okay!" Cao Xiong spread his hands, "The manager can always go around casually, right?"
Liu Ye laughed, "It's up to you to be in charge! By the way, there is a brothel called 'Yanwan Building' near this workshop. If the in charge has nothing to do, you can go there for a stroll. This workshop affects the time limit of the carpenters!"
special!
In your Liu Ye's eyes, my dignified fifth son, Cao Xiong, has become a useless person?
Cao Xiong let out a "hum".
Seeing that Cao Xiong was slightly angry, Liu Ye turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves, and before leaving, he whispered something in Cao Xiong's ear: "Fifth Young Master, to be honest, I think you are far from Young Master Zhi! "
After all, he laughed and led his men to go upstairs.
Cao Xiong stayed where he was, looking sad, but his thoughts drifted to the live broadcast room.
Cao Xiong: "Liu Ye's grandson is too arrogant!"Emperors, give me an idea. 』
Li Shimin: "Look at this, this Liu Ye has been working in the workshop for a long time, you are a fledgling kid with no official rank, how can you be his opponent. 』
Yang Guang: "If you want me to say, this workshop is not a good place. To deal with a group of carpenters and wood, I think it would be wonderful for us to go to the 'Yanwan Tower' and look at the brothel women from the Three Kingdoms era!" 』
Cao Xiong: "If you don't save face, how can you be interested in going to brothels?" 』
Xiang Yu: "It's simple, this Liu Ye's martial arts is not very good, if you seize the opportunity and punch him in the chest, I will keep him unable to get out of bed for half a month."There is no leader in the group of dragons in this workshop, who dares to disobey you. 』
Liu Bang: "You overlord are simple-minded. Cao Chong introduced it yesterday. This Liu Ye has a close relationship with the third son Cao Zhi. If you punch him, wouldn't Cao Zhi take advantage of it?"It's hard to get to the current situation, and everything is ruined. 』
Ying Zheng: "There is only one way!" 』
Cao Xiong: "You really said it!" 』
Ying Zheng: "@朱佳校! @Zhu Youxiao!Doesn't this little emperor like workshops?Let him make up his mind! 』
Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Yang Guang, Li Shimin, and Temujin simultaneously issued barrages: "What a good idea!" 』
Zhu Youxiao is so willing to come to the workshop, how could he have no skills!
Zhu Youxiao: "Finally it's my turn, isn't it?" 』
Cao Xiong: "You have an idea!" 』
Zhu Youxiao: "I don't have any ideas. I don't like to use my brain. I like to repair woodwork!" 』
