Daqin Ghost Valley, makes you vertical and horizontal but not unified

"Nanzhong is sparsely populated. Instead of spending a lot of manpower and material resources to manage the place, it is better to invest more resources in opening up."

After Cao Chao heard this, he was shocked to the core, and the way he looked at Feng Quji changed.

I'll go, this old boy really has something!

Chapter 146

Feng Quji finally understood what he meant.

Cao Chao’s proposal for land reform actually has two meanings. One is to snatch the land from the nobles and distribute it to the peasants.

The second level is to implement the large manor economy and make Cao Chao the biggest landlord.

This is not as simple as the Warriors will eventually defeat the dragon. It will have strategic significance for future development, so I won’t mention it here.

In view of this, how could Cao Chao be willing to delegate precious human resources to the township level?

Besides, apart from Yunnan, other places in Nanzhong are poor.

All of them are poor and poor, and if they disagree with each other, they will kill people.

Rather than sending people to the countryside to give away heads, it would be better to let the local people govern themselves.

"That's a good suggestion, Prime Minister Right!"

Cao Chao raised his forehead slightly: "I will leave this matter to you. In principle, the division of counties and counties is firstly based on family, tribe, and customs, and secondly based on mountains and rivers.

"When the time comes, you draw up a charter, and we'll discuss it later."

Cao Chao threw such a heavy task to Feng Quji with a wave of his hand, and then jumped directly to another topic.

"Now that Nanzhong is flat, I want to reform the military system. What do you guys think?"

When it came to military issues, Feng Quji was obviously not as familiar with Zhu Ying, so he simply kept his mouth shut.

Zhu Ying bowed her head and thought for a moment before saying: "Your Majesty, I suggest that you follow Qin's farming and war system.

"Set [-] ranks of military merit, and use military merit to encourage soldiers to kill the enemy.

"For example, for those who have achieved first-class military merit, their parents and wives can be released from slavery.

"Those with second-level military merit can pay less taxes or be exempted from corvee."

"good"

This method of empty hands and white wolves is indeed very suitable for Nanzhong, which is poor and white.

Cao Chao added:

"However, the only requirement of this method is that a set of strict punishment laws must be enacted, and a large amount of manpower must be required to monitor and enforce them.

"That's why I used the right-hand minister's county system before."

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

Cao Chao gave a rare explanation, and Zhu Ying suddenly realized.

It turns out that your Majesty's proposals are interlocking. Only by saving manpower in internal affairs can this military merit system be implemented.

Your Majesty's thoughts are indeed meticulous!

Thinking of this, Zhu Ying looked at Cao Chao with admiration.

"Then it's settled like this. Prime Minister Zuo also draws up a charter for military merit and military law, and we'll discuss it in detail later.

"By the way, there is also the matter of the military colony. Don't bother the two masters with one thing. You can't let this matter go to the left."

With a big wave of Cao Chao's hand, he directly threw Zhu Ying a huge burden.

Capable ministers, naturally, those who are capable work harder.

Is this a problem?

Absolutely not!

Then Cao Chao turned to the last topic.

This time he did not consult the opinions of the two prime ministers, but announced directly in public.

"Nowadays, I am a big man with a lot of waste to do, and I deeply feel that there is a shortage of talents, so I hope to recruit more talents.

"Specifically, there are three strategies"

"A recommendation from a minister, all of you can recommend talents around you. If you can pass the assessment of the widow, the widow will hire you. Once the recommendation is successful, the recommender can get ten gold. Nothing to do."

As soon as this remark came out, the civil servants and generals immediately became excited.

Money is a trivial matter, but once you successfully recommend talents to the king, you will definitely be valued by the king. At the same time, most of the talents you recommend will have a close relationship with you, which is equivalent to gaining an ally in the court.

The most important thing is that if that person commits a crime in the future, he will not be punished. This condition is simply too generous.

All the civil and military forces had their own thoughts for a while.

"The second is recruitment, as long as we find talents, I will send people to invite them.

"In my big man, there is only one standard for judging talents, and that is meritocracy!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Cao Chao's words are tantamount to telling these ministers that as long as you are capable and able to do things, I will not care about your nonsense, not even your reputation.

This seems very different in today's society that looks at fame.

However, before anyone could object, Cao Chao continued:

"Third, I want to set up a recruiting hall to recruit talents from all over the world.

"Anyone who thinks they are capable can come to the Recruitment Hall to apply. Those who are hired will be given official positions immediately, and those with outstanding talents will be interviewed by me personally."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone finally changed their faces.

Feng Quji hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Your Majesty, no.

"As the saying goes, no meritorious deeds will be rewarded. If a person is awarded a high position without meritorious service, wouldn't this be a mess?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone also urged them together.

"What the Prime Minister said is true!"

"That's right, Your Majesty should be more cautious."

Just kidding, all the civil and military officials who can stand in the hall are all confidantes who have made great contributions on the way of Cao Chao's rise. How can we see those who have no credit standing in the same court with them?

"Everyone, don't get excited, the official positions in this recruiting hall will only reach the county level at most.

"Unless it is those famous talents in the world, few people will make an exception to grant high positions."

Cao Chao seemed to have anticipated the reaction of the crowd, and said what was in his heart without haste.

Sure enough, as soon as this remark came out, no one in the entire court objected.

The positions at the county level are just small officials like sesame seeds and mung beans, and they have not been taken seriously by these bigwigs.

In fact, it is these grassroots talents that Cao Chao covets, and this is his real purpose for opening the recruiting hall.

……

Just when Cao Chao was enforcing the group of officials, a person was welcomed in the Prince's Mansion in South Korea.

"General Ji?"

Prince Ann looked at the visitor with a puzzled expression.

This Ji Wuye has never had any friendship with him, what is the purpose of visiting rashly?

With a smile on his ugly face, Ji Wuye bowed his hands to Prince An and said:

"The last general's late-night visit is to discuss something with you, Prince."

"Speak!"

"At the end of the day, the general received news that the Baiyue barbarians conspired to rebel."

"what!!!"

After Prince Ann heard this, he immediately stood up from his chair.

He was in a hurry.

Baiyue is the most important vassal of South Korea, and the country gets a lot of profits from it every year, as well as rare minerals such as Huoyu agate.

If Baiyue rebelled, it would be a fatal blow to South Korea's economy.

But the next moment, Prince An calmed down again.

The Baiyue barbarians rebelled, Ji Wuye actually came to him first instead of directly reporting to his father, there must be something strange about it.

"General Ji, is Baiyue really planning to rebel?"

Chapter 147 The Conspiracy From Behind

"General Ji, is Baiyue really planning a rebellion?"

"It's absolutely true, the last general dares to guarantee it with his life!"

Ji Wuye took out a piece of silk from her bosom and handed it to Prince An.In it, the king of Baiyue colluded with Chu State and tried to betray Han to Chu's letter.

After Prince Ann read it several times, he immediately fell silent.

a long time,

"General Ji, my troops in Dahan have been dragged to Hangu Pass, so how can I raise my sword lightly?"

"Hmph, can't, or don't want to?"

"What does General Ji mean?" Prince An frowned and looked at Ji Wuye.

"I'm afraid it's not that I, Dahan, can't send troops, but that the one at Hangu Pass is unwilling to send troops. After all, that one is inextricably linked with Baiyue."

When Ji Wuye heard this, a disdainful chuckle appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Bold! General Ji, does he know what he should do to slander important court officials for no reason?"

Prince An Wenyan slapped the table and sternly reprimanded him.
