It’s useless to nod. In this situation, if you don’t maintain stability first, if you really wait for the people and soldiers to explode, everything will be over. To put it bluntly, isn’t it the reason why Cao Cao can follow you? Isn’t it true that someone thinks that combat effectiveness comes from Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Xu Huang, Zhang Xiu and other generals. There are not those tens of thousands of soldiers who guard the mountains and rivers. These generals have the advantage!

What's more, this is no longer a problem of the soldiers being bombed, it is the soldiers and the soldiers who were bombing together. This is a true portrayal of rural fundraising in the 1980s.

However, unlike the rural people in the 1980s, the combat power of the only militia, these people's combat power can really reach the top level in the world these days. Yes, they are talking about the backbone of each department.

"Boss, can you help brothers ask Boss Cao and see what's going on? The animal Liu Ba doesn't seem to want to send us money. And this time we can't even find a temporary exchange place. Brothers said that they saw Liu Ba back today, can they exchange money?" A veteran of the Zhang Ji era said to Zhang Xiu with his old face.

Although veterans of this age still have the combat effectiveness of the fifth level of the Imperial Guard, they are basically no longer on the front line. They mainly help train young people. However, because they have face in front of Zhang Xiu and have also participated in the extortion of Liu Xie back then, they are considered highly respected among the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, so they were elected to talk to Zhang Xiu about this matter.

As for why the current centurion is not allowed to be allowed to say that this is in the military camp. Isn’t it a bit like forcing the palace to force the palace? It’s better to find a retired old leader to detour.

"Damn, that beast Liu Ba, you are hurting my money, wait, is he back? When he comes back, I will go to block him. You ask the brothers to make some things that can be fought. Today I will lead the team to block, and my money will also be hacked." Zhang Xiu slapped the table on the spot and said that the brothers are at ease, and I will lead the team to block himself.

As soon as these words came out, the team of Xiliang Iron Cavalry was relieved. They also had a backer. Moreover, Zhang Xiu could work together with them, so it would be fine. Let's go.

Soon Zhang Xiu ordered a strong man in thirty or fifty years to go to Liu Ba's house to block Liu Ba. He didn't really want to beat Liu Ba, but just warned Liu Ba that he had to pay back the money. If he didn't pay it back, don't blame us for being polite.

According to the previous situation, Liu Ba was blocked and didn't know where he went. Then Cao Cao found him after a while, and then Cao Cao paid for the matter.

Zhang Xiu didn't understand this very well, but the civil servant with good relationships in private told Zhang Xiu that this was called inviting people to win people's hearts, and Zhang Xiu didn't care. Anyway, the brothers under his command could have a happy year after getting the money, and that's all right, it's okay, you can't really lose money.

However, this time I was really out of money. When Zhang Xiu brought thirty or fifty people over, he found that Xiahou Yuan was also carrying a group of rash men. One of them looked at each other and felt something was wrong. In addition, Liu Ba was not blocked. I vaguely heard that Liu Ba was back and went to Cao Sikong's side again. The two of them felt something was wrong.

Zhang Xiu and Xiahou Yuan had already led the team, so they sent their subordinates, saying that they would solve this matter. As the commander of the army, their reputation was still trustworthy, so their generals and soldiers were dispersed, and soon they received a notice from Cao Cao.

By the time Zhang Xiu and Xiahou Yuan arrived, the civil and military officials under Cao Cao had basically arrived, but the atmosphere on the court was extremely solemn.

Cao Cao had made up his mind at this time and decided to divide the Helmand River irrigation area first to stabilize the hearts of the people. He attacked and killed the Zhen family's branches in Central Asia near Herat and Kandahar areas overnight to seize all the assets currently stored in the local area. The Wei family took out all the physical assets currently available to be used and tried to solve internal problems first.

This decision was very painful for Cao Cao, because although the money for building the Helmand River irrigation area was raised by Liu Ba, a lot of the money came from the Cao family. Just like Liu, Guan, Zhang and Zhao Hua handed the money to Chen Xi for operation, Cao Cao also handed over the money to those who trusted and economically best at operating it.

Liu Ba invested all this money into the industry. As the source of all industries, in terms of behavior, it was exactly the same as Chen Xi at the beginning. All the assets of the Han Dynasty were actually related to Zhang Zhaohuayu's shares, but Chen Xi carried out some restraint.

But in essence, the behavior of the two is actually not very different. They both save money in the industry for value-added. The forces represented by Cao Cao do not have the idea of ​​recovering all this funds into cash. After all, it will continue to be transferred as an industry and will continue to increase value.

Therefore, even if it is used, it is only a small part of it. To be realistic, Cao Cao's power can continue to operate as any crisis encountered in the present, because this group has become a huge community of interests under the operation of Liu Ba.

However, now the economy is storm and to ensure internal stability, the only choice Cao Cao's forces has is to directly distribute these existing assets to the soldiers and people under their command, and fill their losses first. Only after doing these things can we do it.

Cao Cao was extremely painful when he figured out all this, but Cao Cao finally endured the almost bursting brain nerves and forcibly passed the resolution.

The reason why this resolution was forcibly passed is that this time it was not the assets of Cao Cao alone, but most of the property of the Cao family.

Simply put, it is to fill the pit of the people and soldiers, and the physical assets, land deeds, etc. in their hands are directly invalidated.

After all, there are always people who suffer losses. Either the people and soldiers, or they seem to be able to choose them and give up the people and soldiers, but without the people and soldiers, they can't run away after they rolled them up, let alone even if they run away, they will be caught up and killed.

More directly, without the people and soldiers and political entities, will the people in Chang'an still look at them from the perspective of one force? No.

At that time, those people in Chang'an must have used the law as the benchmark. With Cao Cao's situation and the law as the benchmark, skinning and cramping are not enough to calm the public's anger. It is worthy of killing the three clans, so it is self-evident how to choose.

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and, with the king's selfless awareness, issued an order to divide the Helmand River irrigation area and fulfill the tickets for the rule of all people and soldiers.

Du Ji, the head of the Du family of Jingzhao, fainted when he heard Cao Cao's orders and was awakened by his son Du Shu, and finally accepted the reality.

These people are smart people themselves. They don’t understand the economy, but they understand people’s hearts. They understand Cao Cao’s considerations. So even if they know this order, all the land assets and so on transferred from the Central Plains of Jingzhao Du’s family from the Central Plains were gone. Except for the family’s voice, the entire family almost instantly bleached into white, but they still gritted their teeth and nodded in agreement.

Because he would die if he didn't agree, the knife that killed him not only came from all the people under his rule, but also Cao Cao who issued this order.

However, agreeing and accepting the order does not mean that everything has passed. In this ending, someone must take the blame. Therefore, in the discussion of the rebellion, killing Liu Ba and clearing the lord have become the mainstream voice. Even if people like Xun Yu and Chen Qun still need to consider the family, they must adapt to this trend.

Their talents can see everything clearly, and their wisdom also knows that it is time to keep Liu Ba. Their experience clearly tells them that Liu Ba will have better performance in the future, but it is useless. Can't Du Ji see it? Does Ren Jun understand? Everyone understands, but Liu Ba must die!

As Chen Xi said, maybe 500% of the super-posts are not the blame for Liu Ba, but the person in charge is Liu Ba, so Liu Ba must take the blame.

Just like when Chen Xi was held back by Lu Su, Chen Xi admitted his own problems. Some things, if they are in their position, they have to take responsibility.

Liu Ba sat calmly in place without a single refutation. From the moment he realized the situation had developed to irreversibility, Liu Ba was ready to be killed.

"Prepare Liu Ba." Cao Cao issued a difficult order. He knew that the problem was not on Liu Ba, but at this point, there must be a responsible person. If this person is not Cao Cao, then it can only be Liu Ba.

As for Weiz, Zhen, Du and others, these people are simply not qualified.

The five major merchants are indeed famous all over the world, but that depends on who they compare with. In fact, just looking at the sugar output of Liu Ba’s plantations, they have become one of the five major merchants in four or five years.

So Weizi and Zhen are not even qualified to take the blame. Even if they are indeed one of the sources of super-issues and are indeed one of the operators of leverage, they are really not qualified.

Liu Ba stood up and bowed deeply to Cao Cao. Almost everyone lay on the ground. Then, with the help of the guards, he left the government office. Xun Yu felt a little reluctant, but was directly pressed by Chen Qun when he stood up.

The same thing is said, Xun Yu's morality is really good, but sometimes morality can only pull people into the water. Chen Qun didn't want Xun Yu to be attacked by the crowd. Even if he wanted to be the number one internal affairs backbone under Cao Cao, the position he wanted was not like this.

It was five days after Chen Xi received the news, and at this time, many things were destined - the industrial park of the Helmand River irrigation area was distributed to the people and soldiers under Cao Cao. Then Cao Cao personally led his troops to capture the Zhen family's branch in Kandahar, and Barak led his team to wipe out Herat. He took ruthlessly to collect all the land deeds, factories, mines, plantation documents, etc. by scraping the ground three feet, and then distributed them to the soldiers.

Of course, these are not enough to add up. Even though the Zhen family has invested 70% of its entire parliament in Kandahar and Herat, these are still not enough to fill the holes together.

The physical assets of the Erwei locally in Central Asia were also exchanged to Cao Cao's soldiers and people as the actual carrier of the ticket within these days.

However, it is still not enough. Of course, at this time, the soldiers and the people under their command are not in much turmoil. After all, even in later generations, most of them prefer physical assets compared to money. Therefore, even if there is still a gap at this time, Cao Cao's rule is basically stable.

But even Cao Cao has done this level, how could he leave any omissions?

"So your Wei family is preparing to mortgage the taxes of the Tongji Canal and Guangtong Canal sections of the Grand Canal?" Chen Xi said, looking at Wei Zi, who looked depressed.

"Yes, mortgage these two golden waterways." Although Weiz did not collapse, even Chen Xi could feel the fatigue from the bottom of his heart.

After all, this is the essence of the Grand Canal connecting the north and south. Moreover, the Tongji Canal and Guangtong Canal, one is from the Huai River to the Yellow River, and the other is from the Yellow River to Chang'an. Both are waterways with a lot of manpower. Even after the sea transportation is opened, there are fewer ships on the Grand Canal, but Guangtong Canal is a necessary waterway to Chang'an.

As the economic, cultural and political center of the Han Dynasty, half of the materials consumed in Chang'an every year come from the water transportation of Guangtong Canal.

When planning the Grand Canal, although the Wei family in Hedong was very annoyed by Chen Xi, in order to avoid Chen Xi going to their construction in person, they built the Guangtong Canal by themselves.

Therefore, the Hedong Wei family still has more than 40 years to distribute taxes from Guangtong Canal, and this is really the hen that lays golden eggs. It is also the key to the Hedong Wei family who has been working in so many years and is still the five major merchants and has never been removed from the list.

Every ship passing through Guangtong Canal needs to pay a sum of money to the Wei family in Hedong. Of course, there was a magical craft of nature in Hedong, which was the straight road from this ferry to another ferry in Sanmenxia.

If you can charge money, you can charge a lot of tolls every year. However, this magical craft that is classified into nature was later blackened by Chen Xi, so the only hen that actually laid golden eggs on the hand of Weishi in Hedong was the Guangtongqu.

It can be said that the better Chen Xi built the Central Plains, the more tax the Hedong Wei family could receive from Guangtong Canal. Now the Erwei has taken out their core capital in the Central Plains. Although they have some other things, they are not as good as the bumper harvest compared to these two things.

"After you have returned to the country, you will never be able to buy it back." Chen Xi looked at Wei Zi and said calmly.

"The 12.4 billion materials, whether it is the Wei family in Hedong or the Wei family in Chenliu, have completely abandoned the management rights of the two sections of the Grand Canal from today on." Wei Zi said extremely tiredly.

Wei Zi was very clear about his mentality. He asked Chen Xi for his blessing that these two waterways could receive 500 million yuan in tolls a year. Moreover, with the prosperity of the Central Plains economy and the expansion of the supply network in the north and south, this number will only increase year by year and will not decrease.

Unlike the northern and southern sections of the Grand Canal that can be replaced by sea transportation, the western section faces Yanzhou and Yongzhou and cannot be replaced at all. The two bathrooms are truly the core of the golden waterway. In addition, Chang'an is at the end of the Guangtong Channel, which is an absolute cash cow, a treasure that attracts countless people's attention.

Unfortunately, in this situation, it is impossible not to sell it.
