Three Kingdoms: Salted Fish's son-in-law was overheard by Cao Cao

Chapter 19 Han Ze reveals the list, Cao Cao is saved

In order to increase the country's income, Cao Cao imitated Shang Yang and launched an internal commandment challenge, and the people talked a lot after learning about it.

Many people did not understand the significance of such a challenge, and said indiscriminately: "It doesn't cost money to eat your own food, and you can save this hundred dollars."

Someone next to him also said: "I took this hundred dollars to go to the casino for a round, and it immediately turned into a thousand dollars. Not only is it enough for expenses, but it can also be more than what you have left."

The two felt that there was something wrong with the other's method, so they argued, becoming more and more fierce and almost fighting.

Seeing this, the bystanders burst out laughing, and soon the internal commandment challenge spread with various interesting stories.For a while, everyone in Xudu met to discuss the internal commandments first, and then talked about daily trivial matters.

And those daily chores are also closely related to the internal prohibition order, either how to save money, or how to find a cheaper market.

In addition to the common people, the major clans are more concerned about the challenge of this internal commandment. They do not know the meaning behind Cao Cao's move, and they understand more clearly that this move is a test of the attitude of Cao Cao's major clans.

If a family sends children to participate in this challenge, it is tantamount to showing favor to Cao Cao. Standing under Cao Cao's command, they will naturally be taken care of by Cao Cao in the future.

If you stand on the sidelines, even destroying and suppressing the challenge is tantamount to standing on the opposite side of Cao Cao's snobbery.

When Cao Cao really becomes the hero in the future, those who suppressed him will be punished, and those who supported him will not only prosper for a hundred years, but also seek the safety of their clan in troubled times.

Therefore, all the major families attach great importance to this challenge, and have called family members to discuss the matter.

At this time, members of the Langya Wang family are arguing endlessly over this challenge.

"This is Cao Mengde's trick to recruit the gentry. Our family can send children to participate. Success is the family's instruction, and failure is the child's personal behavior. Neither offend nor get close."

"This statement is wrong. Cao Cao is the hero of the world. My Wang family is weak this year. If I can get Cao Cao's support, it may not be able to restore the glory of the past, and I can put the Sima family under me again."

The Sima family mentioned by him is also discussing, but it is just how to participate in this challenge and win, not whether to participate in the challenge.

"This battle is meaningful only if it is won, and it can provide enough footnotes for the internal commandment. Otherwise, if you just participate, you will not get the prime minister's favor."

"Extremely, but how can one hundred dollars be spent for more than a month and still have a surplus? It's really a problem." Sima Yi shook his head, unable to help.

If Han Ze were here at this time, he would definitely sigh that Sima Yi would bet three times, which is amazing for my brother.

And in Yang's house not far from Sima's house, a young man was frowning at a table of scattered money.

A middle-aged man walked in, seeing that the young man was still thinking hard, he shook his head and walked over.

Gently stroked the young man's back: "Xiu'er, if you can't do it, don't be too forceful."

Yang Xiu sighed: "The child is incompetent, unable to help the Yang family climb up to the prime minister's power."

"Son, you've done enough, don't blame yourself."

Yang Xiu was still very puzzled: "I have been thinking hard for a few days but I can't achieve a hundred yuan a month. Could it be that Mr. Cao's move has some meaning?"

Not only Yang Xiu was puzzled, everyone was puzzled by this question.Because after their careful understanding and calculation, they found that 100 yuan is not enough to support a month's expenses, let alone have a balance.

As a result, the major families began to speculate on the abnormal solutions to the Taoist questions, because it was impossible for Cao Cao to come up with an unsolvable question and make everyone scratch their heads.

Therefore, it is only possible that they took the wrong path and did not realize the true meaning of Cao Cao.

Yang Biao suddenly thought of a possibility, and his face turned serious: "Xiu'er, if we can't solve this problem, then it is very likely that this problem is not for us."

Yang Xiu was shocked: "What does father mean?"

Yang Biao stroked his beard: "Perhaps Mr. Cao wants to summon the children from poor families again and repeat the recruitment order."

"Children from poor families may have a hard life, but a hundred dollars is not enough to feed them. What other solutions are there? Could it be that poor families still have something to eat that we don't know about?"

Yang Biao shook his head: "I haven't thought of it yet for my father."

Although scholars from poor families are not as knowledgeable as those from aristocratic families, they are superior in their skills. If one out of thousands of people can produce a character like Xi Zhicai, it will be a big profit.

Moreover, even if there are no great talents, the children from poor families will do their best after being awarded official positions, because this is their only chance to make their mark.

They will firmly grasp this opportunity and slowly climb up, and because they only have this one opportunity, the person in charge can dictate their life and death.

Because just take their chance away and they lose everything.Therefore, most poor scholars will be very loyal.

Just when this question disturbed the peace of the great families, Cao Cao also became anxious.

Because the list has been posted for a few days, but no one dares to participate in the portal challenge, even if there is no penalty for failure.

Cao Cao once again summoned several counselors. Although the implementation of the internal commandment will not happen overnight, the challenge of spending money on the door needs to be completed in the near future, so that the subsequent government orders can continue to be implemented.

Unexpectedly, the plan was perfect, but it got stuck at the first step and couldn't start.

Still the same seat, still the same problem.

Cao Cao first looked at Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, you are full of schemes on weekdays, and you have wonderful ideas to help me out of trouble at every critical point. How is it this time?"

Guo Jia replied with a bitter face: "My lord, forgive me for being stupid. I'm not idle at home, and I think about this problem every day when I have time, but I haven't thought of a solution yet."

Cao Cao curled his lips, and then looked at Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, you are the most stable and reliable person who can be successful. Now you have a way of thinking."

Xun Yu lowered his head: "My lord, I feel that there should be a solution to this question, otherwise the person who wrote the question would not have come up with it. Do you think so?"

Although he didn't say it directly, the implication was already obvious, and he almost reported Jia Xu's family background.

Jia Xu coughed violently when she heard the words, and couldn't stop coughing. She coughed for more than ten breaths, apologized to Cao Cao and left the main hall, before slowing down a little.

"Cough, in order to avoid difficulties, I almost coughed up the leaves of my lungs. I am too difficult. How do I know how to solve this problem? Wen Ruo hurt me."

Cao Cao heard the silence outside in the hall, and shouted at the door: "Wenhe, if you don't cough, come in and tell me the solution, don't be a fool."

Jia Xu^...

I have a solution, why am I coughing, it's a white cough.

With his head drooping, he moved into the hall little by little, and bowed to Cao Cao: "My lord, I have no solution."

Cao Cao: "You! Wenhe, you have made me untrustworthy."

The other counselors also shook their heads one after another. This time they really lost face and credibility.

Just when they were at a loss, Cao Ang walked quickly into the hall.

"Father, someone has joined the challenge!"

Cao Cao immediately came to his senses: "Who?"

"Han Ze, Mr. Han."
