Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 216 Congratulations to the host for completing the task
Chapter 217 Congratulations to the host for completing the task
After returning to Xudu, Diao Chan and Zhen Mi still had some shops to take care of, and Wen Jiao became the most leisurely one.

Cao Chong fulfilled his promise and accompanied Wen Jiao to play in Xudu, experiencing all kinds of delicious, fun, and beautiful things. In fact, he was looking for opportunities to pester Wen Jiao.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the court to watch a play, and I'll come back to accompany you for a walk in the afternoon."

After a day of wandering around, Cao Chong and Wen Jiao rushed home to have dinner with Diao Chan and Zhen Mi.

"Tomorrow, I want to be alone and clean." Wen Jiao said bluntly.

Seeing Cao Chong deflated at the dinner table, Diao Chan and Zhen Mi looked happy to watch the play.

Cao Chong couldn't help being depressed, Wen Jiao is going to completely become a workaholic!!

I am absent-minded when I play every day, and today I took the initiative to ask Cao Chong about the next big construction plan in Luoyang.

Having nothing to say all night, Cao Chong went to court early the next day.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty did not come to court every day. He held another court meeting on the third day after the great court meeting. Cao Chong estimated that there would be a good show today!

This time there were far fewer people in the court meeting. Cao Chong stood a little closer and found that Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were also there. The four of Cao's father and son were standing in the hall at the same time, surrounded by envious and jealous eyes.

Cao Chong ignored the strange gazes around him, squinted his eyes and waited for the good show to begin, but he didn't expect that it was Lao Cao who took the lead.

As soon as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sat down, Hua Xin and Wang Lang stepped forward to ask for credit for Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and Cao Chong.

"Your Majesty, the eldest son Cao Pi guarded the city of Ye to persuade the farmers and sweep away the bandits. The people are grateful. This time, Tian Yin and Su Bo rebelled. Fortunately, the eldest son put down the rebellion in time, so that the people in Hejian were saved from being burned..."

"Young Master Cao Zhi personally took the arrow in Hefei, commanded it well, and repelled the invading enemy many times..."

"My son Cao Chong wiped out the rebellious Yang Cang in Luoyang, cleared the bandits in Luoyang, and even made paper, and made great contributions to the culture and education of our great Han..."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was as disgusting as eating a fly: two shameless old men!Anyway, he is also a veteran of the former court and a generation of celebrities, but he has become Cao's running dog!

No matter how unwilling Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was, he couldn't express the merits of the three of them. Even if Cao Zhi's credit was a bit watery, Cao Pi and Cao Chong's credit was real.

In the end, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were promoted to a higher level, and Cao Chong was awarded the title of Marquis of Ting.

The title at the end of the Han Dynasty was worthless, and Cao Chong didn't care about it. Last time Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said he would give Cao Chong a Tinghou, but Cao Chong exchanged it for a silver note, which made Emperor Xian of the Han very unhappy.

Lao Cao didn't say a word in the court, and ordered his subordinates to take the lead, and after reaping the benefits for his three sons, he quietly waited for the next move of the civil official group.

The Civil Service Group really gave Lao Cao a surprise!
"Your Majesty, during the Xingping period, the world was chaotic, the warlords were separated, the people were displaced, and the fields were barren. Later, the prime minister installed Diannong Zhonglang and Diannong Duwei in various counties and counties.

I suddenly exclaimed in my heart: Wow!Your actions are really big enough!It's hot now!
"Nowadays, Diannong Zhonglang General and Diannong Xiaowei are in charge of farming, land rent and civil affairs in all counties and counties. Serve as county magistrate, and set up counties in the original Tuntian District..."

The officials of the prime minister's mansion were impatient when they heard this.

"Your Majesty, since the troubled times, the people have fled and the fields have been barren. The implementation of the farming system is the main way to solve our army's food and grass. It must not be abolished easily..."

Lao Cao looked back and forth at the necks of those officials who asked for the abolition of the farming system.

Cao Chongxin said: These people are really desperate for profit!At this time, asking for the abolition of the farming system is really harmful to the country and the people, and of course it is even more harmful to Lao Cao!

It is false to abolish the farming system, but it is true to want to gain some financial power!
All fools know that the farming system cannot be abolished yet, and the food and grass for the army still depends on the farming districts!
Didn't you see that Sun Quan and Liu Bei are also working hard to farm the fields?
With the farming system abolished, the army's food and grass supply depends entirely on the taxes of the counties and counties?Just relying on the control of the place by the gentry clan, it will not take long to return to the state of warlord separatism more than ten years ago.

However, the situation in the various villages is indeed as the civil servants have said. The powers of Diannong Zhonglang and Diannong Duwei are no different from those of prefectures and counties. They have become special counties that are not under the jurisdiction of the court. The longer the Tuntian District, the more this is the case.

What makes these civil servants in the court most uncomfortable is that the tax in Tuntian District is much higher than that of ordinary counties and counties, which makes people jealous!
This time, in order to bite off a bite of fat, I also desperately tried my best!

Cao Chong secretly sighed in his heart: There was a reason for the decline and demise of the dynasty. The Eastern Han Dynasty was left with its last breath, and these court officials were still fighting for life and death for a little profit!

It is indeed wrong that the tuntian area set up by Lao Cao is not under the control of the imperial court, but you don't think about why this happened, and what serious consequences will be caused by the abolition of the tuntian system?
Cao Chong squinted his eyes, watching the two gangs of ministers arguing endlessly in the court hall.

Xin said: "Let's fight, let's quarrel! Make Lao Cao anxious, let's see if he will cut off your heads. When it comes to the fundamental interests, Lao Cao has always been cruel and evil!"

Cao Chong found out calmly: the two gangs were arguing in the hall, and Han Xiandi and Lao Cao didn't say a word.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was probably used to it, and he had nothing to do with this kind of thing; Lao Cao's mind was probably on another person who didn't say a word, Xun Yu!
Ordinarily, Xun Yu is the minister, the chief adviser of Lao Cao, and the honorary leader of the people in the prime minister's mansion, but Xun Yu never said a word. Cao Chong remembered that Xun Yu didn't say a word at the last court meeting!

Xun Wenruo, don't confront Lao Cao silently. Once Lao Cao thinks you have a rebellious heart, he will act decisively!
The two gangs quarreled in the court hall all morning, but there was no result in the end. Han Xiandi reluctantly announced his withdrawal from the court, and the discussion will be held tomorrow.

Cao Chong felt very boring about the matter in the court hall. He didn't want to attend the court meeting tomorrow, so he had to think about how to rebuild Luoyang smoothly.

No, it is the right thing to work hard to capture the beautiful Wenjiao and get her out of the workaholic attributes!

After returning home, I found that Wenjiao was not there. Didn't she mean that she wanted to be alone?Where did it go cleanly?

"After you went to court, Wen Jiao went out alone!" Zhen Mi said.

She was the only one at home, and Diao Chan seemed to have gone to Mrs. Huan's.

Exactly!

I can have a good time with Zhen Mi for an afternoon, and I have been with Wen Jiao for the past few days, but there is no progress at all, which makes Cao Chong very shocked. Today I am looking for confidence in Zhen Mi!

"Brother, why don't you go find Miss Wenjiao?"

"Today I want to spend time at home with my sister-in-law..."

After countless failed protests, Zhen Mi gradually became immune to Cao Chong calling her sister-in-law!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task, rewarding [-] days of life, [-] days of life!"
