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

Cao Cao took the account book and looked through it with Guo Jia beside him.

After they finished reading the account books, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the horror in each other's eyes.

According to the number recorded in the account books, the amount of newly reclaimed land in Hanoi County is actually the sum of the amount of land reclaimed by Xiahou Dun in the past few years!

If they didn't know Cao Mao's character, they would even suspect that this was a forged account book.

"This...how is this possible?"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Mao dumbfounded, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

"It's all the people who are too eager for the land."

Cao Mao smiled lightly.

As soon as the government launched a new policy to provide free seeds, agricultural tools, and cattle, the people in Hanoi went crazy and rushed to apply.

It's a little exaggerated, a whole family of young and old can reclaim hundreds of acres of land!
It can be seen that the Chinese are indeed the most hard-working people in the world!
"I see……"

Cao Cao and Guo Jia took a deep breath, but the surprise in their hearts lingered for a long time.

In Zhang Yang's hands, the previous Hanoi County could not be called barren and poor, but it was definitely not so rich.

However, Cao Mao has achieved such brilliant achievements in less than a year.

If this develops until the end of the year, Hanoi County will not only be self-sufficient, but even pay a large amount of taxes to the court!

Such ability to govern is simply overwhelming any minister capable of governing the world!

At this moment, Guo Jia's heart moved, and he asked Yang Jun,
"What is the New Deal you mentioned just now?"

"Reporting to the military commander to sacrifice wine, this was planned by the Fujun."

Yang Jun replied, and then described the content of Cao Mao's new policy.

Cao Cao and Guo Jia gasped, their pupils constricted suddenly!

They were a little shocked by Cao Mao's achievements in managing the people's livelihood in Hanoi County.

But I didn't expect that there was something that shocked them even more!
"Mr. Su Lie's vigorous use of the poor family's children can be said to have greatly weakened the power of the noble family!"

"No wonder he was able to achieve such success!"

The two were secretly startled.

If it weren't for the high-yield wheat seeds provided by Cao Mao, Cao Cao would still have to rely on the breath of those gentry.

After all, those noble clans are powerful and control a large number of people and land.

If he didn't rely on them, Cao Cao wouldn't be able to support him until now.

This is absolutely unbearable for the ambitious him.

Therefore, the most troublesome problem for him is the tyranny of the gentry.

However, Cao Cao did not expect that Cao Mao could solve this problem so easily in Hanoi County.

"Mao'er, can your method be implemented across the country?"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Mao with hot eyes.

Cao Mao shook his head,
"I'm afraid it won't work."

Cao Cao, who was originally excited, suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him.

"Why is this?"

Cao Mao patiently explained the reason.

A large part of the reason why he was able to achieve the current progress was that the noble families headed by the Sima family, the Hu family, and the Wang family were not very powerful.

Coupled with their flirting with Yuan Shao, Cao Mao seized the opportunity to eradicate them in one fell swoop.

But the gentry of all states in the world, especially those who are so easy to deal with?

Once they are pushed into a hurry, I am afraid that the territory under the jurisdiction of the imperial court will immediately fall apart.

Waiting for Cao Cao's death will be a disaster.

Cao Cao was silent for a long time, then he let out a long sigh,
"Is there no way to suppress the power of the gentry?"

"Yes, of course there is!"

Cao Mao picked up the sour plum soup, drank a cup lightly, and said without hesitation,

"We can use the imperial examination system."

"The imperial examination system?"

Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Yang Jun looked at each other.

"That's right. The reason why the gentry are so powerful, in the final analysis, is that they control the official selection system."

"In this way, the officials they elect represent their own interests."

"In the long run, the power of the gentry will grow stronger."

"Father, you are a meritocracy, and vigorously reuse the children of the poor family. You probably want to use this method to contain the nobles, right?"

Cao Mao said with a light smile.

"good."

Cao Cao nodded, with a somewhat helpless tone,

"Unfortunately, it has little effect."

"But if the imperial examination system is common, it will be very different."

Cao Mao introduced the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty to everyone.

"The imperial court can start examinations on subjects such as Four Books and Five Classics, Essays, and Martial Arts. Anyone who can achieve results can be selected as an official."

"The officials selected in this way are not idiots who can only read books, but real talents who can manage the country."

"Besides, the imperial examination system does not ask about one's background. No matter whether one is a noble family or a poor family, everyone can come to take the exam. In this way, you don't have to worry about being opposed by the noble family!"

"In addition, father can also set up the Imperial College."

"Children of nobles, as well as outstanding students from all over the country, can study in the Imperial College."

"Students who successfully graduate from Guozijian can directly enter the imperial court as officials."

"Father, you can be the principal of Guozijian. In this way, all the students of Guozijian will be your students, father."

"For a long time, do you think those powerful gentry can still make waves?"

Cao Mao's eloquent and eloquent speech completely stunned Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Yang Jun and others!
If it is really carried out according to the imperial examination proposed by Cao Mao.

It can not only select talents from all over the world, but also curb the power of the gentry, and even maintain the rule of the imperial court. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
Especially the Guozijian proposed by Cao Mao at the end.

If Cao Cao served as the principal of the Imperial Academy, then all officials who were born in the Imperial Academy would be his students.

What a terrifying force is this?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao trembled with excitement.

Guo Jia and Yang Jun looked at Cao Mao with even more amazement.

"To be able to propose such a system, his foresight is unmatched by anyone in the world!"

"I call myself a talented person, but compared with Cao Mao today, it seems a bit ridiculous."

Cao Mao smiled softly,
"Father, the imperial examination system was not formed overnight. The top priority is to destroy Yuan Shao and unify the north!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

"Maoer is right, but what do you think about the war between Weifu and Yuan Shao?"

"Is there any other opinion on this?"

Cao Mao smiled disapprovingly,

"If the war starts in the future, Yuan Shao will definitely be defeated!"

Cao Cao was startled, and couldn't help asking,

"Maoer, why are you so confident?"

Although Cao Cao successively conquered Wancheng and pacified Lu Bu, he was in the limelight.

However, there are still different opinions within the imperial court regarding the war with Yuan Shao.

Some people think that Yuan Shao occupies the territory of the four prefectures and is so powerful that he will undoubtedly lose if he goes to war.

What's more, he suggested that Cao Cao welcome Yuan Shao into Xudu and assist the emperor together.
