If you don't wear women's clothes, the big man will die!

In the remote mountain villages, the common people are more inclined to barter than to use money to buy things. Because Cao Cao attaches great importance to farming and weaving, almost all the people under his rule are farmers, and all soldiers are farmers. The elderly also need to farm or weave cloth to get rid of poverty and become rich, relying on the hardworking hands of the common people, and even more light corvee and light taxes.

The old man talked to them about the changes in these days: "Our place was stable for a while, but it became chaotic after a while. The villagers stayed in the village, and they could always hear a large number of people gathering in the middle of the night. The sound of approaching and going away, everyone is afraid, lest the army will come and take away all the rice and grain. If there are no grains, then the days are really hopeless. This year is a drought year, and the increase in grain It’s not good, and a large number of men have been conscripted away, and there will be no one to work in the fields.”

He mentioned that those males who were transferred by Yuanzhou Muzheng were arranged by Cao Zhoumu to return to the village to farm. With males in the village, it became lively all of a sudden.

"Also some time ago, the county magistrate brought a group of people to teach the big guys how to make paper. There is a lot of knowledge! The materials used are different, the methods are different, and the paper produced is also different. What I am making now is ordinary people. The paper that can be made, as long as it is carefully pulped, is enough for ordinary people to write on, and the price is also cheap, but it is not available as a gift.”

The old man said proudly: "I am good at beating pulp, and the scholars in the village like to ask me to buy paper. My husband has a look at these, and if he is satisfied, he can exchange them for the price of grain stipulated by the government."

Making paper is not labor-intensive, and even an old man can do it. What is required is meticulousness and patience. The proportions are different, and the texture of the paper produced is also different. If someone studies it, it is possible to make more patterns. Their village is small Not obvious, like in the county town, several workshops for papermaking have appeared.

Hu Zhao stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, not at all surprised by Cao Cao's bold decree.

That person really had the courage to break the city rules.

See how well the people here accept it?It won't be long before scholars in the territory will use paper, and the common people will regard it as an ordinary item, and Cao Cao's goal has been achieved.

After the war in Yuzhou, the harvest this year is really not good. Hu Zhao is located in Yingchuan, which is relatively close to Yanzhou. Because there are official roads to transport grain here, the people here will not run out of food. The government trades grain for goods The move seems to have played a role in stabilizing the hearts of the people.

"According to Cao Cao's profligacy, can Yanzhou's food reserves last for the next year?" The disciple asked in a low voice beside Hu Zhao, "Yanzhou doesn't have much foundation, so Cao Cao is not like Yuan Shao who came from a noble family..."

Hu Zhao rubbed the little Douding disciple beside him, and said in a gentle voice: "You can't just look at the surface when looking at the real thing. Cao Cao's background may not be worse than Yuan Shao's. Maybe, it is because of his background that he can go further than Yuan Shao."

Hu Zhao thanked the old man, handed over the food, took over the white and somewhat flawed Min-made paper in his hand, and led his disciples to the village market.

The market in the village is a bit crude, just stalls made of various thatch and tree trunks, most of which are bartered by local people, and some small officials from the village visit it to maintain order, and the villagers spontaneously formed a local village brave They are responsible for the safety of the market, and are instructed and deployed by the small officials.Regardless of the dilapidation and poverty of this village, the population in the market is really thriving, there are some hawkers, and some people visit it waiting to buy.

"The local rich merchants and wealthy families in Yuzhou have all fled to the south." The young disciple looked around curiously, and followed Hu Zhao step by step: "I didn't expect such a small village to have a market of this scale."

At least the exchange of the most basic daily necessities of the villagers has been guaranteed, and there is also food circulation among them. Anyone who has someone to do work in everyone's house, such as weaving cloth and chopping wood, can exchange for food, so that they will not be in the middle of the winter. starve.

"There will be ones in such a small village, and so will other larger villages," Hu Zhao said with a smile, and went to buy winter clothes, some dried meat, and pickled vegetables.

At this time, a happy-looking yamen official came beating a gong, followed by two helpers. The villagers gathered here when they heard the voice, but they heard the yamen official shout loudly: "The county magistrate has received According to the orders from the superiors, we are recruiting men to dig fertile fields in the wasteland outside our village. It is cold in winter. Anyone who agrees to dig fields will be provided with food and clothing, and will be rewarded when the wasteland is reclaimed. !"

"It's winter, and you can't grow food even if you open a new field!" The people whispered, but this wasteland is not their own land, it is equivalent to the government hiring people to work, anyone who is willing to earn a fortune can work .

"Zuo Tianhan has nothing to do, so if we can do one more thing to increase the family's income, we are naturally willing."

"Yeah! I still take care of food, clothes, and food and noodles as salary!"

Not long after the gongs and drums were beaten, someone went to find the government officials and signed up. With the first one, the second and third contacts were endless.

After Hu Zhao watched for a while, he planned to take his disciples back to the mountains. He didn't plan to go out for a walk when it was cold, or cook wine and play the piano at home, study classics, teach disciples, write articles, and practice calligraphy.The life of Xianyun and wild cranes is leisurely and leisurely. The most wonderful feeling in winter is to live in a warm hut when the first snow comes, and watch the bright plum blossoms blooming on the branches outside the window.

"Sir, Cao Cao really has that much food supply? He can't..." He robbed the granary of a wealthy family, right?

Hu Zhao bowed his head and asked his disciples, "How are the people in Zhongda's hometown doing?"

The disciple thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "When I was young, there was a famine in my hometown. It was the limit for the elders of the family to help the clan with the same surname. To protect the fellow clansmen, but I have more than enough energy for ordinary people. At that time, many people starved to death, and I dare not go to the streets. Until now, Hanoi has not slowed down. Most of the food and grass are still the main supply. To General Zhang Yang's army."

He remembers the only time he was afraid when he went to the street. Seeing the villagers who looked like walking corpses on the roadside, he handed out bread with kindness, but what he got in return was the madness of a group of people wanting to bite off a piece of meat from him like a wolf. Chasing him, if the guards at home hadn't desperately escorted him back to his hometown, closed the door tightly, and kept those people out, maybe his life would have been there.

Later, he discovered that six out of ten families in the surrounding area starved to death in the famine, and he felt more and more helpless and sad about the decline of the world. Even though he was young at that time, he still remembers the sense of despair that lingers in his heart.

"The villagers didn't do anything, just waiting to die in such numbness. Every time I recall the scene at that time, I feel chills in my heart."

After the disciple finished speaking in a low voice, Hu Zhao rubbed him comfortingly: "The same grain harvest is not good. In order to protect themselves, the Hanoi nobles and the local government bought up all the grain in the four fields and did not sell it to the outside world. They hid it in the warehouse, right? "

The disciple stopped talking. Under natural disasters, what people do to protect themselves often exceeds the shackles of the moral bottom line.He himself is also one of the children of the aristocratic family, and he is well aware of the operation.

Their family will not do such immoral things, others will do it if they can't stand it. It is not uncommon for big families to rely on their own hands to collect food and live on their own people while ignoring the common people.

"As long as the people have hope and are willing to work, there will be more and more food and products. The people here have different eyes. They are motivated and hopeful. They believe that Cao Cao can make them eat well and wear warm clothes. "Hu Zhao's soft voice drifted into the ears of his disciples. He highly praised Cao Cao's decree: "It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. What Cao Zhoumu did may have the confidence to store food, but he won it himself. Starting from Yuzhou, he didn’t order his subordinates to search for beauties for him, and he didn’t force conscription to increase the number of his troops. Only these two points make him completely different from other princes, no, he is ahead of everyone else!”

The disciple could feel from the tone of voice that Hu Zhao had a deep affection for Cao Cao.

"I have traveled to so many places. Other state herds also do the work of garrisoning troops and food. When Yuan Shao conquered Bingzhou, he forced his troops to garrison fields and keep an eye on planting grain and grass. He has a lot of rations and a strong army. Zhou is a matter of time, people say that he is very powerful, I think so too, but he is powerful, Gongsun Zan also used the same method to station troops in Youzhou, maybe we will have a while with him."

The disciple interjected: "Gongsun Zan is at the end of his strength, and he will fail at any moment. By then, the food and grass he hoarded, and the army he recruited will all belong to Yuan Shao. Soon he will also be sitting on the three states, and Yuan Shao's foundation will be much stronger than Cao Cao's." , don’t you think Mr. Wang likes him?”

Hu Zhao followed his beard and shook his head: "It's not easy for you to calculate the situation in the next two years, but just be optimistic. In a few years, Cao Cao will be able to come from behind and catch up with Yuan Shao."

All the able-bodied men were conscripted into the army, and there were only old, weak, women and children in the common people's homes. How could the productive capacity of the old, weak, women and children compare to that of mature men?There is no man to support the family, the woman has no children, the elderly die of old age one after another, the people are getting poorer and poorer, and they cannot pay taxes. This is a vicious circle.All the people under Yuan Shao's rule planted military fields for military use, and the economy under Yuan Shao's rule would only become weaker and weaker.Economy is invisible, intangible, and intangible. At Hu Zhao's level, he can feel the subtleties of it, but he can't summarize it in actual words.

Comparing Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, he had a premonition in his heart that Cao Cao would definitely beat Yuan Shao. Those premonitions became more obvious after he personally experienced the situation under Cao Cao's rule.

The disciples mentioned that Cao Cao was not so respectful, and Hu Zhao could feel it. He warned his disciples: "The way of a hermit is to cultivate the heart. It is more successful to hide one's sharpness than to show one's sharpness. One's background cannot be chosen by people. Zhong Da, put away your arrogance, what you need to learn is to look at people from a rational perspective, and don’t be influenced by your childhood education, whether it’s family or reputation, those are just superficial things.”

The disciple is young and still has something to teach, and he listened to Hu Zhao's words. After he gave such a serious warning, he bowed his head in shame and accepted the criticism of the master.

After he did look down on the eunuch who started from the chaos, Hu Zhao's reprimand was not serious, and it was enough to make him reflect on himself.

"However, he taught the people how to make paper," the disciple protested softly, "The big family will not allow him to do these things, and there will definitely be people who will resist him."

This involves the interests of the entire group. Cao Cao's decree is bold, is he trying to use himself to fight against the clans in the world?

Hu Zhao shook his head: "Where is there any big family in Yuzhou? Those who should flee have fled to the south. Yanzhou is Cao Cao's all-talking house. He has been a magistrate here for so many years, and he has already made people obedient. Qingzhou ..."

Forget it, Qingzhou is a place with strong folk customs, where is there any "noble family"!Even rich people and landlords are nouveau riche who just copy the guys.

The disciple stopped talking, thinking about it, it really happened.

But the ministers of the court must have people from big families.

Well, the ministers of the DPRK and China have just arrived in the new place, and they dare not act rashly to offend Cao Cao.

The disciple suddenly said: "It's no wonder that such a government order can be implemented smoothly."

Hu Zhaodao: "The benefits after implementation will be endless."

Paper has become an ordinary item that can be circulated among the common people. When the scholars of the world hear about such a good thing, they may go crazy and rush here.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Hu Zhao to hear about Cao Cao's establishment of an official school to recruit and train students. If there are scholars who have lived in seclusion and are willing to be teachers to open the school, they can also receive subsidies and publicity from the government.

Hu Zhao himself couldn't stand the loneliness, so he raised chickens and ducks in captivity in the mountains and forests, and communicated closely with the people down the mountain, teaching them etiquette and dispelling ignorance. Before he knew it, Hu Zhao's "school" was also set up. , the people respected and loved him again, and even went to receive government subsidies for him.When he got the two rabbits, Hu Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, and threw them in the yard to raise them. Unexpectedly, in just two months, the two rabbits became eight rabbits...

Liu Hong not only left Cao Cao with wealth that can rival the country, but also left him a lot of broken copper and iron, swords, swords and shields, and even mineral deposits.

With these, he can equip his soldiers with excellent weapons and the best harnesses, and still have the spare power to make siege equipment.

Cao Cao is the main character, as long as he stands there, there are many people trying to please him in various ways. "Benefits", more people will offer good prescriptions and contribute to his career.

The discovery of cotton was rewarded for promotion, learning from the Hu people to develop horse gear that is better at cavalry, and they can also be rewarded for promotion. Some people even traveled to the mountains and rivers to bring the "pepper" of Sichuan to Cao Cao, who ate it in winter and burned it. The vegetables were still sweating, Cao Cao saw that they were useful for keeping out the cold, so he rewarded the man generously.

In this way, the Xuchang court was quietly formed in the midst of immature and full of fresh blood. When the new year came, Cao Cao issued the news of amnesty by the emperor's decree through the Spring Festival, and further reduced taxes and handed over half of the original harvest. , changed to hand in [-]%.

Changing the name of the reign from Xingping to Jian'an, the powerful Cao Sikong officially launched his own unique regency.

Before long, the emperor Liu Xie made the daughter of the Fu family the queen, and promoted the Dong family to be the concubine Dong.

It seems that the relatives headed by the Fu family and the Dong family have formed a group around the emperor, and more and more people will challenge Cao Cao's authority under the emperor's order.

When Cao Cao heard about Empress Fu and Concubine Dong, he breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly said to Guo Jia, the closest counselor beside him, "Finally, it's finally come out. You see, it's better to fight in the open now than in private. Much better, isn't it?"

Guo Jia choked on the drink, looked at Cao Cao for a while with a look of "my lord's brain is sick", and finally believed that Cao Cao was not angry because of this incident, but was still eager to try?

"Your Majesty just watched His Majesty support your connections?" From Guo Jia's point of view, Liu Xie made some small moves, which meant that the emperor's mind was not clear, and his courage was fattening. He was constantly touching the bottom line of their lord, and let it go like this , sooner or later something will happen.

Either Liu Xie completely offended Cao Cao and was suppressed by bloody means, or Cao Cao suffered a great loss from Liu Xie.

Neither of these two things is what Guo Jia wants to see. The former damages Cao Cao's reputation, and the latter damages Cao Cao's interests.

"He is in the palm of my hand, no matter which corner he jumps to, he still jumps in the palm of my hand," Cao Cao said Liu Xie's actions are under control.

Judging from the actions of the young emperor, he was obviously unwilling to be manipulated by Cao Cao, but he was still young.A little too restless.

"I'm not property, let alone a stunning beauty. How can everyone love it?" Cao Cao joked, "It's normal for people to oppose me. I hope those people can jump in front of me." , pointed at his nose and scolded me openly."

He has never been afraid of anyone when playing Minggang, and he is not afraid of anyone when playing conspiracy.

Cao Cao changed the subject: "I came to you to ask about policy not for this matter, but for the matter of attacking Tao Qian. He has refused to return Taishan County, and has been standing there in the east, like a thorn It's in my heart, it makes me very uncomfortable, I plan to send troops to attack Tao Qian after the beginning of spring, and put down the Xuzhou rebellion."

Guo Jia thought for a while, and persuaded Cao Cao gently, "Tao Qian is a coward, I'm afraid he is hiding in Xuzhou and he doesn't want to stick his head out. My lord is now laying the foundation and consolidating the government orders under the rule of the three states. At this time, attack Xuzhou. Some are too early."

Cao Cao closed his ears and said disappointedly: "After the winter rest, the soldiers' condition has recovered. After the spring plowing is a good time to send troops. If we don't attack Xuzhou this time, when will we have to wait?"

Guo Jia: "There are more aristocratic families in Xuzhou than the three prefectures combined, and the intricate relationship is chaotic. Tao Qian and the local clan are mutually beneficial. Now is the time when the relationship is strong. If the lord goes to attack, he will be defeated. The local people may not be willing to listen to your government orders."

These days, the decrees issued by Cao Cao have fully demonstrated his concept of government. Whether it is running schools or promoting papermaking, they are all challenging the bottom line of the big family.

Seeing that Cao Cao wanted to fight, Guo Jia's flexible mind began to work quickly: it is better to temporarily distract the lord's attention. Compared with Xuzhou, the strong enemy who is close at hand is worrying.

Guo Jia explained: "You want to attack Xuzhou, so before that, why don't you solve the worries around you first, lest someone sneak attack your rear?"

"The troubles around you, you mean Wancheng?"

It only takes Guo Jia to mention it lightly, and Cao Cao has already thought of the situation in the world.

Zhang Xiu, who lived in Wancheng, was originally the nephew of Xiliang general Zhang Ji. After Zhang Ji died, he commanded his old troops to defeat Wancheng. This thorn in the south is not difficult to clean up. Cao Cao thought about it Thinking about it, I followed Guo Jia's reminder: "Then persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender first, and if he refuses, then send troops to attack him."

The two chatted for a while, and Guo Jia's analysis of the situation in Wancheng was quite clear. Zhang Ji sent troops to the south at the beginning because of lack of food and grass. support, the foundation is not stable.

"There are no highly resourceful counselors around Zhang Xiu. My lord, don't take him too seriously." Guo Jia felt that Zhang Xiu was easier to fight. He had never met Zhang Xiu before, so he wasn't sure if he was soft-boned or He was tough, so he said to Cao Cao pertinently: "Whether you need to worry more, the difference is that the lord wants to recruit him, or kill him."

Therefore, Cao Cao adopted the plan of courtesy first and soldiers later, and first sent someone to issue an imperial edict to Zhang Xiu, asking him to bring his family and come to Xuchang City to receive the reward.

Zhang Xiu not only came, but also brought the wealth collected in Wancheng and several beauties, and dedicated them to Cao Cao to express his sincerity.Seeing that Cao Cao's power was in full swing, even Yuan Shu's son began to work for Cao Cao. For his own future, after thinking about it, he found that Zhang Xiu, who had followed Cao Cao and had a better career, just demoted Cao Cao directly.

Cao Cao personally met Zhang Ji's son, and unexpectedly found that he was a master of marksmanship, and he was quite good at fighting on horseback.

He thought of Zhao Yun, who had not heard from him so far. His eldest son Cao Ang had not yet competed with everyone who used guns. He made an exception and appointed Zhang Xiu as General Yang Wei.

In this way, Cao Ang, who also worked with Xiahou Dun, had the opportunity to get in touch with masters of marksmanship.

Zhang Xiu was grateful to Cao Cao for giving him face, and sent wealth and beauties to Sikong's mansion.

When Cao Cao saw this, he threw the wealth into the public treasury in a blink of an eye, and the beauties were also given to the bachelor generals, and he didn't keep any of them.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu said with emotion to the left and right: "Cao Cao has no selfish desires. He never collects money and wealth into his own pocket, let alone seeks for himself. Such a person is the one who can accomplish great things!" He felt more and more that it was the right decision to hang out with Cao Cao.

As everyone knows, in Cao Cao's eyes, his rule is what he uses. What is the livelihood of the people under his rule, how is the official, how is the soldier, how is the military administration, how is the farming... Cao Cao attaches great importance to it, that is not "selflessness", that is "It's all mine" is the cause of the vegetable farmer's thinking. Only the products in the vegetable garden are getting more and more abundant, and the sense of accomplishment brought to him is more rewarding than what he eats and enjoys.

In the system, Mr. Changqin taught Cao Cao: people live in this world, the pursuit of happiness is an instinct, some people indulge in fun, some people love beauties, some people like food, some people love money Love of power, these are all ways to satisfy their "joy" and vanity.

"The same happiness, some people are happy reading, some people are happy gambling, the feeling is the same, is there any difference in essence?"

At that time, Cao Cao didn’t come up with an answer. He instinctively thought that the joy of reading was the answer, but when he was young, he loved to play, but he murmured in his heart that of course he had fun gambling.

It wasn't until he learned more and more knowledge, realized the sense of accomplishment and gain that learning brought him, and stood at a higher and higher position, that he suddenly realized the life experience accumulated by Mr. Changqin over several lifetimes. .

There are two old people, one has been studying all his life, and the other has been enjoying his life all his life. When he dies, which one will live a more meaningful life?In the two paintings, is the picture of Confucius seeing Laozi pulling a cart with a dragon and fish able to last forever, or the picture of men and women living together to ward off evil spirits?

Changqin: "There are many kinds of happiness. It is inevitable for people to pursue happiness in this world, but those who are truly insightful and far-sighted will not indulge in low-level happiness, but only enjoy high-level happiness."

Perhaps Cao Cao, who was educated so well when he was young, was obsessed with work and had no intention of playing, has found his own "higher happiness", so that he is willing to give low-level happiness to others, and he lacks interest in it.

He doesn't love money, and he doesn't like pleasure. He only needs to be full for food, and his requirement for beautiful women is not to make trouble.

Such a protagonist who is dedicated to developing his career and has no selfishness, is asking which counselor does not love? !

Power confuses people's eyes. Liu Hong got lost at the peak of power. When he realized that he was about to die, he regained his original aspirations. Dou Wu, Cao Jie, He Jin, Dong Zhuo...these may not get rid of the influence of power until their death.

People can play with power, and power can fool people in turn. Low-level happiness is like a seductive enchantress, tempting mortals to be contaminated all the time.

Good food and wine, beauties, wealth, power and fame bring pleasure and corruption to those people, but what Cao Cao sees is responsibility and human life.

The gentlemen thought that Cao Cao had been cultivated into a saint with perseverance, but they didn’t know that Cao Cao’s high-level happiness was completely different from what they thought. He was not a saint, but a hard-working gardener, a fruit farmer in an orchard, a vegetable farmer in a vegetable garden, and arable land The old farmer, this is not called a saint, this is called fraternity without boundaries!

How many people were confused by his appearance, boarded a pirate ship named Cao Cao, and were coaxed by his "sweet words" every day, like ripe vegetables and fruits, they learned to grow by themselves, and even attracted relatives and friends to come together grow freely.

After finishing Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao was gearing up, and asked Guo Jia about the timing. When he learned that he could prepare to attack Tao Qian, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night, so he found Cao Hong and Cao Pi's room in the middle of the night, and threw the sleeping Cao Pi to the nanny , I pulled Cao Hong, who was in a daze, and started chattering.

"Ah Hong, when Xuzhou is captured, I will be the master of the four states, and I don't have to worry about Yuan Shao's strength anymore!"

The author has something to say: I'm thinking about it, isn't that what the King of the Sea means?

Cao Hong: zzzz...

Cao Pi:? ? ?
