In the midsummer and June of the lunar calendar, the scorching sun made the air a little distorted. Cao Shuo had no image at all. He rolled up his sleeves and crouched in the grass shed on the construction site. He held an oversized palm fan in his left hand and fanned wildly, but he was still unable to save the second son from sweating profusely.

In front of Cao Shuo, the half-built Chenliang New Road was spread out all the way, like a huge blood vessel exposed to the air. Sixty centimeters of ground were dug under the ground, which was initially compacted, and then a layer of gravel, a layer of flat stone, and a layer of coal ash river sand were laid on top. The top road was half bluestone and half cement poured. Drainage should be made beside the road, and the location of street trees should be reserved.

After the practice of Liaodong, Lingnan and Qingzhou, the road design of Cao's can be regarded as mature in Yanzhou. The stupid thing about pouring the whole block of concrete on the South Island in the first place will never happen again. The road in front of Cao Shuo's eyes, which is paved in layers, waterproof and frost-proof, and durable and load-bearing, is worthy of the name "New Road".

The weather is too hot, not only people can't stand it, but the cement of the late Han Dynasty can't stand it, so the work has to be stopped at two hours at noon. The villagers gathered under the shade of the trees to enjoy the cool air. Many people lay down on the ground with their shirtless to sleep. Their bodies were covered in dust, which was even dirtier than the new road under construction.

In this way, they also feel that Cao Jiaren is righteous, because the construction site makes rice, the kind of soybeans and sweet potatoes that fart when they eat. Occasionally, there is an almost indistinguishable sweetness in the soy milk for breakfast.

The family has a good reputation, and Cao Shuo also benefits. Seeing that he was sweating profusely, the cooking aunt had already brought him several bowls of tea. Cao Shuo drank them every time, and then turned them into sweat.

There are grievances, and there are hardships.”

In the end, even the stinky and sweaty villagers were no longer afraid of him, and they all coaxed: "Xiao Langjun, you are not afraid of heatstroke, you are fine-skinned and tender, you should rest."

Cao Shuo was like a cat whose tail was trampled: "This is not possible, if I am lazy, I will be punished when I go home." If you can't beg for favor with the second uncle, it's a blood loss.

If things will turn out like this, it will start from the Dragon Boat Festival.

In the evening of that night, Cao Ershu added two jars of spicy bean paste and three catties of Sophora japonica nectar to Cao Zhang's apprenticeship ceremony. As if he suddenly remembered something, he called Cao Shuo to him and asked him, " What kind of person is Liu Xuande?"

Cao Shuo answered honestly: "Liu Xuande is always victorious in battles and keeps Chang'an. I asked him for advice as a young man, and he also trusted him and did not despise him. Ying rumors that his benevolence and righteousness are really not groundless."

Hearing this, Cao Sheng was silent for a long time, and then suddenly laughed, the kind of smile that Cao Shuo couldn't understand at all. "If you learn Liu Xuande's three points, it will be enough in this life," she said.

Cao Shuo nodded quickly. In fact, Xiaochun's intuition has already raised the red alarm.

However, the second uncle did not open up to him because of his diligence. "Go and build the road, the schoolwork is over, the boss is not too young, it's not easy to talk about relatives without merit."

Don't look at me when I'm young! When did the men of our Cao family have to build roads before they could marry their wives? ! Isn't my father a baby boy? !

But Cao Sheng is the largest in Xu County, so Cao Shuo was packed into a ball and thrown on the construction site of the grain road without even making a sound. It's only been a month now, and he has already traveled to three construction sites, and he is about to go to the next one.

Cao Shuo ran all the way, shouted all the way, finally finished today's noon work before his throat spit fire, returned to the shed, picked a small stool beside the manager and sat directly. He took the water bag handed over by the guard, gulped, and then wiped his mouth: "Mr. Li, let's settle the account in the afternoon."

Steward Li hurriedly said: "Second Young Master is free."

"Celebrate people!" Cao Shuo high-fives, "You Wuping section, you have abundant food, excellent materials, and the accounts will not be bad." Cao Er Gongzi exerted his chattering skills, and the rainbow fart was blown out. , coaxed the steward to a flushed face.

However, as soon as he turned his head, he looked for a cold-faced guard sent to him by Cao Sheng: "I didn't miss anything?"

The cold-faced guard was expressionless, not even moving his eyebrows: "Second Young Master thinks there is no problem here, then there is no problem."

Cao Shuo gritted his teeth and lowered his voice: "Aren't you the spy department? The most well-informed, eh?"

"The Ministry of Spy is the Ministry of Spy, and it is the second son who supervises the construction of 'Chen Liang Xindao'." A guard paralyzed his handsome face, thought about it, and added, "I am not the Ministry of Spy ."

"Fart. Ye Ye, you don't have a military membership, and you don't have a contract. If it wasn't for the Ministry of Spy, I'd write it in reverse."

"Ye Ye": ..."I am not called Ye Ye."

Cao Shuo pursed his lips and kicked a stone around. "I knew that because I was doing two things at home, there was nothing. My eldest brother has already followed several managers of the spy department, and I only have surveillance here."

"The spy department only follows the instructions of one person. Before Master Cao officially handed over the power to the eldest son, the following you said is impossible."

"Haha, you were caught by me. You said that you are not the spy!"

"Ye Ye": ... farewell, I am blind.

Where did Cao Shuo let him go? "Ye Ye, Ye Ye, that person Li Guanshi is not corrupt, right? Have you found any bullies and bandits in Wuping? Are there any spies mixed in with that group of civilians? Ye Ye, Ye Ye, how does your spy department train? Yes? I heard that you have to learn to disguise yourself, break big stones in your chest, and walk over walls. Is it true? Ye Ye, Ye Ye, what secret mission did my second uncle give you? My second son, I…”

"Shut up!"

"Ye Ye, you murdered me. Even if you are the spy department, I am my second uncle's nephew, and you will do the following."

“…”

"Ye Ye, it's my birthday in less than seven days, don't you mind? We are best friends."

"Ye Ye has no virtue and talent, so he dare not be a friend to the second son." Can you walk away!

While Cao Shuo was happily pestering his new friends, Xu County was already fried. Sun Quan and Cao Pi, two noble babies, are gone!
