"Sir, what you said is wrong!"

Cao Cao shook his head when he heard the words, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth: "I am just the monarch of Wei, not the emperor. Under the world, I am the only son who leads the people. Of the two ninth-five lords, who is the real son of heaven, you can't say for sure!"

"Your Majesty, being the Son of Heaven is only in your heart. Your Majesty's heart is to shoulder the world and deserve the life of the Son of Heaven!" The middle-aged Confucian scholar said every word, very calmly.

"Hahaha!"

Cao Cao was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if he couldn't believe that the Confucian scholar beside him could say such a compliment, but he quickly realized it and laughed loudly: "I like to hear this, and I want to be a The veritable Son of Heaven, would you like to help me?"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar standing beside Cao Cao admiring the snow scene was Jushou who had been idle in Luoyang City for a long time, the former prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, and now a commoner.

"I would like to help the common people!" Ju Shou replied calmly: "Only when the world is peaceful can the common people live a good life."

"The common people of Great Wei?" Cao Cao's eyes sparkled.

"It's all common people!"

Ju Shou nodded silently. Although he still can't get over the hurdle in his heart, if he didn't want to go out of the mountain, he wouldn't be standing here today.

He is not afraid of death, he is afraid of living as a waste.

After being idle for too long, he watched the world change with cold eyes. He was conceited of being talented and learned, but he could only spend his days leisurely. This was beyond his tolerance.It would be better to kill him with one knife.

"it is good!"

Cao Cao was sure, his expression was overjoyed, and he began to throw out his own chips: "Gongyu, Liangzhou has been leveled, but the people in Liangzhou are suffering after years of war, and I need a good hand. Heal Liangzhou for me I have thought about it for the livelihood of the people. Only you are the most suitable!"

"Liangzhou?"

Ju Shou frowned when he heard this, "Ma Chao surrendered?"

"Yesterday, Zixiu was in a hurry for [-] miles. There was a good news from Liangzhou. Three days ago, Ma Chao opened the city gate in Jicheng, and the whole country surrendered!"

When Cao Cao talked about this, he was in high spirits. The result of this battle in Liangzhou has exceeded his expectations.Taking Liangzhou and taking over the elite Xiliang army under Ma Chao's command is of great significance to Wei.

"Liangzhou will be returned to Wei, and Ma Chao will be the titan. One hundred thousand tigers and wolves from Xiliang will make Wei even more powerful. I want to rule the world, and it's not just fantasy!" Cao Cao shouted proudly, looking down at the boundless world.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Jushou sighed in his heart, and the last trace of hesitation disappeared. After winning Liangzhou, Cao Wei did have the ability to fight Soochow to the death.

"Gongyu. I know your talent very well!"

Cao Cao turned his head, held Jushou's hand, and said sincerely: "As the governor of Liangzhou, I would like you to come out to help Wei, and please help me to unify the world as soon as possible. It will benefit the common people in the world!"

Jushou's ability is basically on par with that of Xun Yu, the Prime Minister of the Great Wei Dynasty. If it is only about internal affairs, Xun Yu is stronger, but Jushou has a deep knowledge of military strategy, and his overall ability is definitely not inferior to Xun Yu. Now it is just right to put it in Liangzhou.

Because Liangzhou has just been captured, the interior has not yet been completely pacified, and the outside is infested by Qiang people. The person who presides over Liangzhou must not only have the ability to cultivate life and rest, but also have the military ability to make thunderous decisions.

"Your Majesty is so kind, Jushou dare not obey!" Jushou arched his hands and bowed respectfully to Cao Cao.

At this moment, he had to admit in his heart that Cao Cao was more courageous than Yuan Shao.

At least Yuan Shao didn't have such a big heart. It would be a gamble if he dared to surrender to be a senior official in the frontier. The governor of Liangzhou is not an ordinary position. The beginning of turmoil in the Wei Dynasty!

"Gongyu, I won't hide it from you, but in fact I have to use you!"

Cao Cao helped Jushou up, and smiled wryly: "Now our Great Wei seems to stand side by side with Soochow, and the north and south are separated, but I know in my heart that Soochow is suppressing Great Wei!"

"Why does Your Majesty say that?" Ju Shou was puzzled.

"If the armies of Wei and Wu go to war in the world, I will not be afraid of them. My son will not be inferior to the generals of the Eastern Wu, but I know very well that the Eastern Wu is stronger than the Great Wei. Where is the strength? The strength lies in the overall national strength. !"

Cao Cao looked far away, looking in the far southeast direction, and said in a deep voice: "There are some things that others don't understand, but I understand it very well. Soochow has now been able to prevent a single commoner from starving. This is far beyond what I can do. The prosperity of this Luoyang is only Luoyang City, even in Yuzhou and Yanzhou where I started, there are so many people who died of freezing and starvation in such a severe winter, it’s not that I don’t want to save it, it’s just that I can’t!”

"Soochow will have northern borders, and their people are living under the ice and snow, don't they have a better life?"

"Better than the people of Wei!"

Cao Cao looked dignified, and said in a heavy voice: "It's not that I underestimate myself. The fact is that the ghost soldiers brought back a lot of news from Youzhou and Liaodong. Soochow has focused on people's livelihood since the time of Sun Jian. After Sun Quan ascended the throne, life has become even more serious. It’s getting better every day, and it’s really rare to have people who died in battle, not people who died of starvation!”

"Your Majesty, if Soochow can do it, so can you, but the road has to be taken step by step!"

Ju Shou said with an open mind.

"You're right, the road has to be taken step by step, but we have to go, we can't stop, we will only perish if we stand still, and the road is the only way, and the government is the same!"

Cao Cao nodded, and his expression soon cheered up. He is the king of Wei, and he saw the overall situation of the world. He didn't have much emotion in his heart, so he directly took out a file: "This is a new policy strategy. There are Many political strategies are copied from Wu State. In fact, I don’t know whether Wu State’s political strategy is good or bad, but it is a fact that the people of Wu State are living better than us now, and it is worth learning.

Therefore, follow the political strategy formulated by Wu State.I, Wen Ruo and the others have formulated a new policy that can adapt to the Great Wei after improvement, but we don’t know if the court can adapt to it. I want you to try the new policy in Liangzhou and see how it works? "

"Why me?" Jushou was a little puzzled, this is not a good job.

"Because you are the most suitable!" Cao Cao replied.

"The most suitable to take the blame?"

Jushou's eyes burst into a bright light, and he said with some sneer: "Since ancient times, any new policy has to go through certain tests. There are many failures. Once the new policy fails, someone must carry it to stabilize the court! "

"That's right!"

Cao Cao didn't deny it, and he didn't have to hide it in front of smart people. He nodded frankly: "I have this idea. After deliberation, I only think that you are the most suitable. First, you are a general, and you are the most suitable for the court officials." It doesn't matter. Second, you were able to assist Yuan Shao in ruling Hebei back then, and your ability is not weaker than Wen Ruo's generation. Taken together, you are the most suitable, and if the New Deal fails, I will definitely pull you to bear this crime. But once If you succeed, you will become the leader of the new faction of Wei, do it or not, I will not force you!"

"Your Majesty didn't hide it from the humble minister, but it made the minister feel more at ease!"

Jushou smiled slightly.There is no objection at all. Where there is danger, there is opportunity. Since he has chosen to become an official in the Great Wei, he is not an ascetic. , is not necessarily a good thing.

"I will read this file carefully. But I still need your Majesty to promise me a few conditions!" Ju Shou said.

"Say!"

"First, I want the old ministers of the Jin Dynasty, as well as the students from the Handan Academy. Your Majesty is very clear that Liangzhou is waiting to be rejuvenated. If I want to make achievements in a short time and appease the court, I can't." No help!"

After the fall of the Jin State, several giants either died or surrendered to Soochow or Cao Wei, but there are still a group of mid-level officials who are abolished. This is a group of talents.

"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded. He couldn't just give tasks and no benefits. Since he wanted to support Jushou to become a new faction, he didn't have any followers, so it couldn't be justified.

"Second, I want money!" Ju Shou narrowed his eyes, like a profiteer, and stretched out a slap: "At least this amount!"

"It's too ruthless!" Cao Cao's mouth twitched slightly.

"Your Majesty, without this number, you should find someone else to be the governor of Liangzhou!" Ju Shou was very firm: "It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, you don't understand this truth!"

"I'll give it to you!" Cao Cao said helplessly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ju Shou cupped his hands and thanked him with a beaming smile.

"You're done talking, then I have a request!" Cao Cao's eyes became sharper: "Within one year, be self-sufficient, and within three years, repay the court!"
