After sending Mi Heng away, Cao Shu returned to the study accompanied by Cai Ji.

After entering the study, he asked Cai Ji: "Have you sent someone to see Ju Su?"

"It has been sent out." Cai Ji replied: "It is estimated that Mr. Ju will be able to come to Shouchun in at most one month."

"One month." Cao Shuo said: "Spring comes and autumn goes, and in another month, it's autumn again."

"Before the young master led his army to the expedition last time, he issued an order to build roads to all places." Cai Ji said: "Now some roads have been repaired, and there are still many roads under construction. On the way to Shouchun, Ju Gong had to go through several roads that were still under construction. The roads were difficult to walk, and a month was already considered fast."

"I haven't started to build it for more than a year?" Cao Shu asked, "What path are they building? It takes so long?"

"Young Master said that the road must be flat, preferably bluestone pavement." Cai Ji replied: "Blue stone roads are being built everywhere. If you count the mining of quarries and polishing, it will be impossible to complete in a year."

"You know more and more." Cao Shuo grinned and said to Cai Ji: "I think it's really a waste of talent to keep you by your side. If you don't want to be responsible for road construction?"

"Young Master, please spare me." Cai Ji said with a bitter face: "I just know how to talk, how can I really know how to build a road? Don't turn back and repair it so badly. The young master was about to chop my head in anger."

"It's because you know that if you can't look good, I will definitely be chopped off your head, and I think it's the most suitable for you to go." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "The more stressed you are, the better you can do things."

After thinking for a while, he said to Cai Ji: "Road construction determines the transportation capacity of the local area. If flat bluestone roads can be built everywhere, the distance between Shouchun and other places will be shorter."

"I really don't understand what the young master said." Cai Ji said: "How come the road is built, and the distance between places will be shorter?"

"This is not simple." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "When the road is good, both the carriages and horses will move much smoother. The road is smooth, and of course the speed will be faster. If the speed increases, isn't it equivalent to the journey between places being closer?"

Cai Ji suddenly realized.

"When it comes to this matter, I really want you to take care of the road of construction." Cao Shu said: "It's nothing you don't know now. As long as you are willing to learn, in a year or two, no one under my rule will be able to compete with you on the road of construction."

"I still want to go into battle with the young master to kill the enemy." Cai Ji said: "I always feel uneasy if I am not by the young master."

"You are not a woman, and I have never slept with you." Cao Shu said angrily: "Why are the big men still clingy like a little woman? This matter is decided. I will seal you as a road construction general. From today on, all road construction matters will be left to you."

Cai Ji's expression became more and more miserable: "The young master asked Wei Tu to be the General of the Central Army of Faqiu, but now he wants me to be the General of the Road Construction. There is no one around him who knows the truth."

"You can go with peace of mind." Cao Shu said: "After you take office, I will transfer Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao to your side. From now on, if they protect me, are you still worried?"

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao were both famous rangers back then.

After taking advantage of Cao Shuo, he served as deputy generals in the Dragon Pattern Cavalry and Feixiong Camp.

Of course, Cai Ji knew the skills of the two.

With them here, Cai Ji was not worried.

He asked Cao Shuo, "Young Master really doesn't want me to be by my side?"

"Don't you serve me?" Cao Shuo grinned: "You think beautifully!"

After Cao Shu said this, Cai Ji's eyes lit up and asked quickly: "Young Master means I don't have to be a road construction general?"

"I mean you have to serve me more carefully in the future." Cao Shu said: "It is not only to serve me, but also to serve the military and civilians under my rule. The burden on your shoulders in the future is not light. Remember, I have zero tolerance for corruption. If you have been by my side for so long, don't do things that make me embarrassed."

"I understand." Cai Ji said in great disappointment: "Don't worry, young master, although I don't know what the benefits are for building a road, I can tell you that no matter who gives me any benefits, the road should be repaired, and no one can get benefits from me."

Cai Ji had already accepted his fate. Cao Shu quickly wrote the appointment letter and shouted outside the house: "Come here!"

A guard walked in.

He handed the appointment letter to him, Cao Shu said: "Immediately, I will send an order to promote the general of road construction and be responsible for building roads in various places. In addition, the two generals Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao were transferred to me, and I have a task to delegate them."

The guard received the order to leave.

Looking at the guard's back, Cai Ji felt sad.

Since the Battle of Wancheng, he and Wei Tu have been with Cao Shuo.

Wei Tu took over as General Faqiu a year or two ago, and he thought he could stay with Cao Shu for a few more years.

Unexpectedly, this time when he returned to Shouchun, it was the beginning of his transfer from Cao Shuo...

Seeing Cai Ji's face was sad, Cao Shuo said with a smile: "I have said a long time ago that you should give you a general. But you have always been satisfied with being a captain. You must know that your lifelong efforts can change the fate of your next generation. Being a captain by my side, although it looks very handsome, even the generals have to give in. In fact, no one really takes you seriously. With my fame, everyone dares not underestimate you, and there is no substantive meaning to you. A man's husband, if you want to achieve a career, it depends not on who you follow, but what you can do. I believe your ability, so that you will give you all the power to build a road. I hope you don't disappoint me."

"If I fail, the young master will not be able to use people." Cai Ji said: "I know this matter is important and I will definitely not lose the young master's face."

Cao Shu nodded in praise: "I believe in you!"

As they were about to part, Cao Shu was actually a little reluctant to part with Cai Ji.

After all, I have been with him for so long.

However, Cai Ji was by his side and could only be a lieutenant.

The people who followed him also had certain abilities. If they did not give him a chance to achieve success, Cao Shu always felt that he had owed Cai Ji something.

He can be sorry to the people in the world, but he can't be sorry to the people who have always been by his side and are loyal to him!

Cao Shu and Cai Ji were talking about gossip in the room, and Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao were ordered to come.

The two stood at the door, faced the door in unison and said, "Come and pay homage to you by your order."

"Come in and talk." Cao Shu gave an order outside the door.

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao walked into the house and gave Cao Shu a big gift again.
