Chapter 1586 Unpredictable
Cao Ang hurriedly stepped forward and supported Chen Gong. "The public platform is angry, the public platform is angry, what's wrong?"
"This... what kind of bullshit articles are this? They are bullshit!" Chen Gong was furious and wanted to raise and kick them again. Cao Ang quickly took the manuscript away from his feet. "What article can make Brother Gongtai so angry?"
"Don't look at it, I'll be lewd pirates." Chen Gong shouted sternly, reaching out to rob.
Cao Ang smiled and said, "I'm not a child, can I be ruined by an article?" He pushed Chen Gong away with one hand and flattened the manuscript with the other, and suddenly realized a problem. "Brother Gong Tai, did you say that Yang Gong was angry just now, is it related to this article?"
Chen Gong blinked and nodded repeatedly. "Look, even Mr. Yang felt that it was inappropriate..."
"Mr. Yang is over fifty years old, and you are over fifty years old?" Cao Ang teased. "Even if you tore this article, can you stop the article from spreading? There is a printing shop in Runan, which can be printed in thousands soon. Do you have time to tear it?"
"I knew this seal shop had illusions and endless troubles!" Chen Gong moaned weakly, fell back, and his whole body collapsed. "It's hard to guard against."
Cao Ang was even more curious and read the article carefully. After half of it, his face changed. Chen Gong glanced at him sideways with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Cao Ang glanced at him and then looked down. Although the car was very cool, sweat still blew out of his forehead.
"Brother Gongtai, this..."
"Do you feel a little regretful? If Sun Ce's sister wants to be a lady, you will suffer."
Cao Ang wanted to speak but stopped. He was not like Chen Gong. He lived in the inn when he went to Junyi. He didn't go out much. He had met many people and knew Sun Shangying very well. Sun Shangying was not like Sun Shangxiang. Apart from going out frequently and being more appropriate to treat people, he could not see too many strange things. But he could see clues from another person. His sister Cao Ying stayed in Pingyu in recent years, and each time he met, he was different. Isn't it just changing in the direction of this lady? And he was a female warrior. At first he thought it was led by Sun Yi, but now he realized that this was caused by Pingyu's atmosphere. Sun Shangxiang's Yulinwei is famous, and many women from Douko Nianhua are looking forward to having the opportunity to join.
"Brother Gongtai, don't just worry about me. When this article is published, the happiest person is not the people from the hundreds of schools, but the women. Is your family... the exception?"
Chen Gong's face changed slightly, then he became furious and slapped the case and cursed. "This Sun Ce is a very evil crime, a famous sinner."
Cao Ang was not as excited as Chen Gong. He didn't care much about famous teachings and other things. The Cao family had no attainments in classics. Cao Cao's interest was in military tactics. Although he had been a student of Cai Yong, he mainly studied poetry. Now, as the governor of Yanzhou, he was sandwiched between Yuzhou and Jizhou. The first thing he had to consider is how to survive, rather than whether it was in line with famous teachings.
"Brother Gongtai, Sun Bofu has been planning for a long time." Cao Ang folded the manuscript and said quietly. "We all thought he was just lustful, favored women, and indulged them. Now it seems that this is not the case. He is trying to make women compete with my man."
"There is nonsense, the difference between yin and yang, and the order of ranks and lows. This is the principle of heaven and earth. How can we confuse it?" Chen Gong shook his sleeves. "The Jiangdong raccoon is not ethical and acts recklessly, and will be punished by God in the future."
Cao Ang pondered silently. When Chen Gong saw it, he frowned. "Why, do you think he is so reasonable? You are a rebellious person, and there are endless troubles. Don't bewitched by the benefits in front of you."
Cao Ang shook his head. "Brother Gongtai misunderstood. How could I be bewitched? But your worries make sense. What should I do with the current interests?"
Chen Gong was stunned. He didn't understand what Cao Ang meant. Are I worried about the current interests? I understand that I was worried about the long-term people's hearts. After a while, he realized the problem Cao Ang was talking about and hesitated.
The biggest problem in Yanzhou now is that it is sandwiched between Jizhou and Yuzhou, with limited development space and insufficient strength. In terms of its attraction to aristocratic families, Cao Ang is not as good as Yuan Tan. In terms of its attraction to ordinary people, Cao Ang is not as good as Sun Ce. One important reason for his alliance with Sun Ce is that he is worried about population loss. There is the Yellow River in the north of Yanzhou, and ordinary people are not willing to go north, but it is too easy to go south, and it is simply unprepared for it.
Only by forming an alliance with Sun Ce and receiving the support of Yuzhou could he stabilize Yanzhou. Sun Ce implemented gender equality in Yuzhou. Not only did he accept women in large quantities into workshops, but he also accepted women from school to school. Needless to say, kindergartens, there are female students in county schools and wooden schools. This not only solved many women's survival problems, gave them the opportunity to support themselves, but also allowed them to see a greater world and another possibility besides taking care of their husbands and children.
Even without this article, this trend will be influencing Yanzhou in time. Will the women in Yanzhou flee to Yuzhou? Without women, what's the use of men? The population of Yanzhou will only become smaller and smaller, and it will collapse without Sun Ce's defeat.
Chen Gong suddenly became scared and sweated. Did Sun Ce have already thought of this move when he tolerated Cao Ang’s occupation of Yanzhou? It’s too sinister to have a fight?
Chen Gong looked at the manuscripts in Cao Ang's hand and wanted to snatch them, tear them into powder, or even burn them directly to ashes, swallowed with ice drinks, and never let others see them again. But he knew very well that this could not solve any problem. In a few days, the Runan Printing House would print thousands of manuscripts, scattered in all directions, and everyone in the world knew it. Half a year ago, such a precedent had appeared. Li Ru's article invisibly destroyed many people's confidence in Yuan Shao. Yanzhou was able to stay out of the matter at that time, and no one asked Cao Ang to reinforce Yuan Shao, which had a certain relationship with this article. The situation is different now, and Yanzhou has also become a victim. If it cannot be properly dealt with, Yanzhou will be defeated without a fight.
The Double Ninth Festival is just a few days later, and the New Year is the next few months. It is the time when the people move the most frequently and the busiest time for businessmen. Sun Ce’s launch of this article at this time should be the time to take advantage of the New Year’s opportunity to spread the article as soon as possible to form a public opinion offensive.
Chen Gong thought hard and wanted to find a way to stop this situation, but he found in despair that he could not find a way to resist. He rubbed his face in pain and cursed viciously again and again.
Cao Ang waited quietly, watching Chen Gong fall into despair and endless self-blame. He suddenly felt that although Chen Gong was wise and not too old, he was too slow to react and his thoughts were conservative, just like Yang Biao, who was over fifty years old. He was not the opponent of the counselors under Sun Ce. It would not be possible to rely on him alone, and he also had to refer to the opinions of others.
"Brother Gongtai, why don't I ask someone to copy this article and send it back to Changyi, so that Xiaoxian and the others can also read it and discuss ways to deal with it together."
Chen Gong frowned, pondered for a long time, and said helplessly, "Okay..."
