I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

"Lu Xiaohang, I have an ordnance blueprint here, please help me make it."

Cao Mao handed over the blueprint of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.

Lu Xiaohang took the blueprint, just glanced at it, and couldn't help exclaiming,
"Governor, this... this crossbow bolt is too exquisite!"

As a master craftsman and a descendant of Lu Ban, he could see the power and ingenuity of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow at a glance.

"Can you build it?" Cao Mao asked.

"The villain should do his best." Lu Xiaohang said respectfully.

"Go."

Cao Mao waved his hand.

As expected of Lu Ban's successor, Lu Xiaohang successfully forged the Godly Zhuge Crossbow the day after he took over the blueprint.

Cao Mao called Lu Bu, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen and others to come to the school grounds together.

"Sheriff, this is the finished product."

Lu Xiaohang handed over a small crossbow.

Cao Mao took over, aimed at the distant target, and pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

There was a series of piercing sounds, and ten arrows shot out from the crossbow!

When the soldiers brought the scarecrow in leather armor to the crowd,

Everyone took a deep breath!
I saw that those arrows shot through all the leather armor!

"The crossbow bolt invented by the sheriff has a maximum range of four hundred paces!"

"It can penetrate seven layers of leather armor within [-] steps, and it can still penetrate armor after [-] steps. After [-] steps, the power begins to decay."

"The biggest problem is that it is difficult to fill, but the ability to fill the quiver makes up for this shortcoming."

Lu Xiaohang listed the advantages and disadvantages of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow one by one.

After hearing this, everyone on the side widened their eyes.

"Four hundred paces? This is too exaggerated!"

"Piercing leather armor within a hundred steps, if this is a human hand, wouldn't it be a battlefield?"

Lu Bu, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen couldn't help but exclaim.

They have never heard of such a powerful crossbow, which can blow out any kind of bow and arrow in the world!
"Only a person as clever as the county guard can invent such an ingenious crossbow."

Lu Xiaohang on the side was also deeply moved.

He claimed to be the descendant of Lu Ban, but it was the first time he saw such a clever and outstanding Liannu.

Huge power, replaceable arrow box, small and easy to carry.

"Such an artifact naturally needs a name, and I hope the sheriff can give it a name."

Lu Xiaohang laughed.

Cao Mao picked up the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, pondered for a moment, then smiled and said,

"Call it the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Crossbow."

He looked at Lu Xiaohang at the side,
"You are so skilled, would you be willing to do something for me?"

Lu Xiaohang was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to Cao Mao,
"The grass people are willing!"

At this moment, Yang Jun quickly came to the school grounds and saluted Cao Mao.

"My lord, I have something important to report."

Seeing his solemn expression, Cao Mao dismissed Lu Xiaohang and others for the time being, and brought Yang Jun, Jia Xu, and Chen Gong back to the county office.

"Ji Cai (Yang Jun's name), what's the matter?"

Cao Mao asked with a faint smile.

"In the past few days, the officials sent by the subordinates to the counties have all been kicked out by the people."

Yang Jun smiled wryly.

"Why is this?"

Chen Gong and Jia Xu frowned.

In order to find out the land situation in Hanoi County, Yang Jun was dispatched from the county government office to various places in Hanoi County according to Cao Mao's instructions to re-register and measure the land.

But he didn't expect that he would be blasted out by the people.

"Behind this, the gentry are actually making trouble..."

Yang Jun let out a long sigh.

Although Cao Mao slaughtered the Sima family and found evidence of their affair with Yuan Shao, the Hanoi gentry had nothing to say.

But this does not mean that they will back down and allow Cao Mao to infringe on their interests.

So he incited the people to fight against Cao Maolai.

"These gentry tyrants are quite prestigious in the county, and they can be said to be local snakes. Once they speak, the common people will naturally follow blindly."

Yang Jun sighed.

Rao is good at internal affairs, but he is a little helpless when he encounters such a difficult situation.

Jia Xu and Chen Gong on the side also frowned.

But when they looked at Cao Mao, they found him with a relaxed smile on his face, as if he wasn't worried at all.

Several people were startled.

"My lord, could it be that you already have an idea?"

"A mere Hanoi gentry, what's the point?"

Cao Mao smiled disdainfully,
"As long as we can win the hearts of the people, we can naturally ignore them."

Yang Jun smiled wryly again and again,

"My lord, the question is how do we win the hearts of the people?"

"It's very simple, implement the New Deal!"

Cao Mao had already considered that even if the Sima family was wiped out, or even the entire Hanoi gentry, it would not be able to solve the problem that the gentry was too big to lose.

Besides, it is impossible for him to really massacre all the gentry class.

If this is just an act of drinking poison to quench thirst, it will treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

So after several days of consideration, he finally decided to implement the New Deal.

The New Deal is divided into two steps.

In the first step, the government provided free seeds, agricultural tools, and cattle to the people to encourage them to open up wasteland.

The land obtained from land reclamation is owned by the people, but they cannot be traded, and a fixed tax is paid every year.

The second step is to recruit talents from Hanoi County.Regardless of background or origin, any talented person can take up an official position.

After listening to Cao Mao's description of the New Deal, the three of Yang Jun's eyes widened!

"If it is according to what the Lord said, the people will have good land, not only can they live and work in peace and contentment, but they can also increase taxes."

Chen Gong's eyes lit up.

"In addition, the lord is based on talent, regardless of his background. Those children from poor families will definitely support the lord. In time, how can those gentry fight against the lord?"

Jia Xu clapped her hands and praised,

Yang Jun said with some doubts,

"My lord, it's not that easy to reclaim the wasteland. I'm afraid there won't be much effect within three to five years."

His worries are not superfluous.

Cao Cao recruited 30 Qingzhou soldiers and handed them over to Xiahou Dun to farm, but he failed to completely solve the problem of food shortage.

When attacking Shouchun, the army was almost defeated due to lack of food.

This shows how difficult it is to reclaim wasteland.

Chen Gong and Jia Xu looked at each other, then laughed and said,
"If it is someone else, it may be difficult, but if it is the master, it will be easy."

Seeing Yang Jun's bewildered expression, the two talked about Qu Yuanli and the high-yield wheat seeds.

Yang Jun was startled first, then said with great joy,
"If this is the case, then this matter is feasible!"

"My lord, I don't know who proposed this new policy?" Jia Xu asked.

"Yes, the person who can come up with such a new policy must be a talent in the world. With the help of this person, my lord will surely achieve great things!"

Yang Jun also nodded in agreement.

Cao Mao smiled lightly,
"This New Deal is something I came up with myself."

"what?"

The three of Jia Xu were dumbfounded.

After a while, Yang Juncai smiled wryly,
"I didn't expect that the lord is not only good at fighting in the battlefield, but also manages the internal affairs in an orderly manner. This subordinate is really ashamed of himself."
