An edict was issued from Xu County, which removed the title of General Xiahou Yuan and removed his original position as Governor of Chenliu, making him the Commander-in-Chief of Hanoi County. At the same time, Liu Qi was named the Governor of Xuzhou, and Liu Cong was named the Governor of Qingzhou...
…
The land of Qingzhou and Xuzhou is not a remote state and county. Although it is not prosperous, it can be regarded as a serious high-level position. It can be regarded as ending the whole mess in Jingzhou and giving Liu Biao an explanation for his death.
.
This edict was obviously written by Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao returned to Xu County, in addition to showing some military power and warning these guys who were ready to take action, he easily resolved the remaining problems in Jingzhou. So those people who stayed in Jingzhou could shout for the emperor while
Sheng Ming worshiped under Cao Cao's skirt openly.
Anyway, Cao Cao's control over Qingzhou and Xuzhou is not very strong. If Liu Qi and Liu Cong are strong, they will need to fight with the natives of Qingzhou and Xuzhou first. If they are not strong,
After three or two years, he either died unexpectedly or was replaced. By that time, Jingzhou would have nothing to do with Liu Biao and his family.
With this arrangement, everything will fall into place.
A single edict sealed the battle in Jingzhou.
In addition to his post of two thousand stones, Xia Houyuan was appointed as the captain of Hanoi County. He also reported that Xia Houyuan had suffered continuous defeats in the battle with Fei Qian during this period, resulting in casualties and casualties. In addition, he also destroyed an entire army and so on.
As well as the sin of dragging out the entire campaign to exhaustion and leaving the treasury empty, it can be said that the cover-up has generally been over.
In Xu County, except for a few people who were keenly aware of the changes in the world and secretly worried, most of the court officials and nobles did not pay much attention to the truce between Fei Qian and Cao Cao.
There are so many inside stories and profitable transactions. Most ordinary nobles are just concerned about whether some of the Jingzhou land and the vacant positions will be their own after the Battle of Jingzhou.
It will affect everyone's promotion and wealth...
Of course there are people who are concerned about the country and the people, but most of them are ordinary people.
Ordinary people, ordinary nobles.
If you are far away, you can stand tall, point fingers, use morality to condemn others, and elevate yourself. But if the problem is on you or around you, then what is morality? How much is it worth?
After Cao Cao entered Xu County, especially after he demonstrated his military power, people who were still a little impetuous suddenly stabilized. The broken ship still had three pounds of nails, although Cao Cao was in a confrontation with Fei Qian.
You can't gain the upper hand, but you have to deal with others...
So many people chose to shut up for the time being.
Although Jingzhou is still facing some difficulties between the north and the south, and the plague in Nan County continues to be a problem, as the temperature drops, the symptoms of the plague are gradually fading away, and the number of people who are sick is gradually decreasing, and many people are thinking about it.
Of course, the big head is a member of Cao Cao's Cao family and Xiahou family, but even if one or two positions are vacant, it will still be favourable. If we don't fight for it now, then when will we fight again? Will we wait until the carrot pit is occupied before we get anxious?
The shadow of one barking dog, the sound of hundreds of barking dogs.
If a dog eats shit, a group of dogs will pounce on it.
Fragrant...
Although it is not clear whose family this flower of Jingzhou will end up in, it is always right to praise its virtues, so all kinds of flower-studded seals are delivered to the court like running water. If you just look at these seals, you will
You will feel that the emperor is a sage monarch, Cao Cao is a famous official in the world, and everyone else is loyal and loyal. The world is peaceful, the world is peaceful, the rivers are clear and the sea is clear, the prosperity of Henan is prosperous, and the Han Dynasty seems to be able to last forever.
General Cao Cao made great achievements. He recovered Jingzhou and Jingping, which was a great achievement.
As for whether Cao Cao will give more positions to others, it's hard to say, but one thing is certain, Cao Cao will never give positions to people who hate him, so what should be done, is there any need to say more?
No matter what happens in the future, let’s grab the food first and then talk about it...
In addition, the news about Dahan sometimes seems very closed-off.
For those places where the screams are not heard and the blood of swords and guns is not seen, the disputes on the battlefield are actually very far away.
These children of the Yuzhou gentry who have enjoyed the preferential treatment of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, even if they are just from a poor family, they all have their own pride, self-promotion, and contempt for everything.
The employee has received a green card!
That's probably what it means...
Yuzhou was once the prosperous state of the Han Dynasty and the place where the world's culture flourished, and it will always be so in the future. As for other places, it did not have a climate before, and it will not have any climate in the future. Even if it is rampant for a while, it will definitely not last long.
Previously, Heluo in Jingzhou was in crisis, and the war was changing violently, with ups and downs. Naturally, everyone was talking about it and became very interested. Now that Cao Cao and Fei Qian have stopped fighting on the surface, everyone has lost interest, especially after discovering that their own
The wealth in my hands seemed to have shrunk a lot, and while I was full of doubts, I focused more on how to get more money.
As for the rest, we’ll talk about it when the time comes!
It's a pity that the problem doesn't disappear by itself if you don't think about it...
Nowadays, the administrative center of the Han Dynasty is no longer the several glorious halls, nor is it in the imperial palace, but in two ministerial offices, one in Chang'an and the other in the general's palace.
Although Xun Yu only held the position of Shangshuling, he still had real power. Almost all government affairs could not be implemented without Xun Yu's approval. Even if the emperor said something or wanted to do something, Xun Yu would not nod.
, just like farting, there is at most a smell, and then it quickly dissipates without a trace.
Xun Yu is Cao Cao's shadow left in Xu County.
Now that Cao Cao is back, Shadow naturally follows Cao Cao.
Cao Cao had monopolized power. Although he claimed to respect the emperor, he never changed his dictatorial political system. He even had a fierce conflict with the emperor Liu Xie and did not let go easily.
The General's Mansion, in the Mingtang.
The reason why it is called the Mingtang is because there is no obstruction on all sides in the Mingtang. Except for the pillars, they are separated by gauze curtains or bamboo curtains. Ice basins are placed in the summer and charcoal basins are added in the winter. This is specially arranged.
It is to show that those in power are fair, honest, upright, and can tell others nothing.
It's a pity that darkness always comes with light.
In the Mingtang, there are the most conspiracies.
Cao Cao was dressed in a brocade robe, sitting in the middle, wearing a jade pendant and a ribbon. He looked extraordinary and looked much better than before.
Sitting under Cao Cao was Xun Yu, and opposite Xun Yu was Guo Jia.
People in the Cao family and the Xiahou family generally have no ill intentions toward Guo Jia, and they did not ridicule or mock Guo Jia because Guo Jia went to Chang'an. Of course, this aspect is Cao Cao's attitude toward Guo Jia.
Trust, on the other hand, Guo Jia is purely a counselor, and Military Advisor Jijiu is just a title. He neither intervenes in specific government affairs nor commands many soldiers, so there is basically no threat to the Xiahou family, Cao family, and others.
People who are non-threatening and helpful are certainly welcome.
Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and said with a gentle smile: "Fengxiao has been feeling better these days?"
Guo Jia fell ill a few days ago. Whether it was due to traveling long distances or contracting the cold, Guo Jia fell ill. It took these two days to feel better.
Guo Jia smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord, for your concern, I'm much better now..." Although he said that, in fact Guo Jia was not completely healed yet.
Cao Cao nodded. Although he was also aware of Guo Jia's physical condition, he still summoned Guo Jia this time because no one except Guo Jia could know the secret of Chang'an...
The secret to wealth.
Cao Cao didn't like money.
Strictly speaking, Cao Cao didn't have much concept of money, because Cao's family was originally rich, and because Cao Cao himself was a eunuch, he kept hearing people say that eunuchs were greedy for money when he was a child, so that Cao Cao also suffered from it.
He received a lot of criticism, and these comments from a high moral level left a deep mark on Cao Cao during his childhood, so much so that even now, this influence from his childhood cannot be completely eliminated.
Therefore, Cao Cao was not good at financial management, and he did not want to take care of it. All financial and logistical matters were handled by Xun Yu.
The problem is that Xun Yu doesn't know why Fei has the potential to make so much money, but Yuzhou and Jizhou, which are supposed to be prosperous, increasingly seem to lack money and the economy is declining...
Cao Cao and Xun Yu were not clear, or rather not very clear, so they hoped that Guo Jia would be clear.
At least Guo Jia has been to Chang'an.
Chang'an.
Talk about old travels and new dreams, and talk about Chang'an thousands of miles away.
"Be filial? Be filial..."
Some vague voices came over. Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, then woke up, smiled slightly and cupped his hands, "Please speak..."
Cao Cao still smiled, nodded, and said, "... today I am worried about Fengxiao coming first because of this business matter... Although the battle in Jingzhou is quite beneficial, it is not a long-term strategy... Now
Military and people's livelihood require money everywhere. If there is no way to increase it, and if war breaks out again, it will definitely be difficult again. If the world cannot be settled early, the people will be poor. A certain person and Wen Ruo discussed for a long time, and finally
If you don't know how to use the hussar merchants, you don't know how to make money, and you don't know how to serve Chang'an as a filial piety, how can you gain something?"
The sunlight outside the bright hall shines in through the gauze curtain, lazily forming some light and shadow on the ground, and then squirming, like a deep body of water, trying to melt the three people's figures into it, but the three people's figures
It's shaking, and it seems like it can never finally merge into one.
Guo Jia nodded, but did not speak immediately, as if he was thinking about something.
"...In Jizhou, the strongest ones are still no match for the hussars. This is because of the armor. The hussars have sharp armor. If no countermeasures are found, it will be difficult for the soldiers to break the strong shields with their weak spears... If so
To improve soldiers and armor, money is needed urgently, and the need is not small, it can easily cost millions and millions..." Xun Yu said from the side, "One person's wisdom is short, but the opinions of many people are long-lasting. In the end, we must find a hussar to make money.
Where exactly is the method... Take it as a lesson, firstly, to benefit yourself, and secondly, as a precaution..."
"Under the Hussars, all counties and counties have bachelors of agriculture and engineering... Agricultural bachelors are responsible for farming and farming, and engineering bachelors are responsible for water conservancy and construction..." Guo Jia nodded and said slowly, "Ming Gong, at first a certain
I don’t take it too seriously...then you will know the beauty of it..."
"Agricultural bachelors thoroughly inspect the fields, and engineering bachelors clean up the labor..." Cao Cao sighed and said, "Is this what you want to say about being a filial piety?"
Guo Jia nodded and said: "If we follow this strategy, we can increase our profit by 30%."
During the Han Dynasty, especially the Eastern Han Dynasty, it had become a local practice to conceal the population and land area. Although counties and counties in various places paid taxes every year, they had to grind their teeth and work hard to get it together.
What came up was the small head, but the big head was missing. In fact, it was difficult for the court to figure it out.
There is also labor. Labor is also a kind of value. The original purpose of allocating money to repair water conservancy is to improve irrigation and increase production and income, but when it comes to implementation, how much will it cost? The money spent is not much, but the effect is only one year.
The situation is getting worse every year. The water conservancy work is getting worse and worse. Roads are paved and dug every day, then paved again, and dug out again a few days later. A bridge can be built for three to five years without being repaired...
Cao Cao pondered.
Cao Cao and Guo Jia had talked about it once before, but at that time it was only superficial and did not involve some substantive issues. But now Guo Jia has further talked about Bachelor of Agriculture and Bachelor of Engineering, so it has gone in depth to a certain extent.
, only the person involved knows whether it hurts from being stabbed or feels so good that it makes you fly.
Guo Jia still spoke slowly, facing Cao Cao's scorching gaze, "Although the land under the Hussar is vast, the counties are sparse. In addition, there was a lot of chaos before, and the political system was incomplete except for the three assistants. Therefore, the Agricultural and Engineering Bachelor
It can be said that it is the right time to do it... Now my lord, Jizhou and Yuzhou, there are many counties and counties. If all of them use this method, firstly, they will be short of manpower, and secondly, it will be easy to cause trouble..."
Cao Cao nodded slowly, "Fengxiao is very worried... I wonder if Fengxiao has any countermeasures?"
"How about trying it in Jingzhou?" Guo Jia said.
"Jingzhou?"
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then the slightly serious expression on his face finally relaxed a little bit...
It's not that Cao Cao didn't want reform, but he was afraid that if he took action, he would be dragged further and further away by Fei Qian if he didn't do anything. He wanted to do something, but he was afraid of causing trouble, so he stayed here in Yuzhou.
It was just to stabilize the situation, and Guo Jia's suggestion just met Lao Cao's psychological needs.
Jingzhou has just been acquired, so for Cao Cao, it is a relatively good experimental field. If there is a problem, then it will be changed back, and the impact on other areas will not be great. If the effect is good, there is a sufficient reason.
Spread to more places.
"Fengxiao's words are pertinent and prudent, maybe you can give it a try..." Classmate Lao Cao affirmed, and then looked at Xun Yu, "I have a question... What are the benefits of Guanzhong trade?"
When Cao Cao said the word "commerce", Guo Jia quickly glanced at Xun Yu.
Xun Yu was sitting on one side, like a statue, his whole body motionless, as if even his eyebrows and hair were frozen.
Guo Jia understood.
Guo Jia came later. When he came, Cao Cao and Xun Yu must have been discussing in the Mingtang for some time, and there must have been some differences, so they specially summoned Guo Jia.
Guo Jia didn't need to think too much and guessed that the root of the problem was Yuzhou's business...
Naturally, Yuzhou's business was dominated by Yingchuan. Cao Cao felt that Fei Qian could make money by engaging in business, so he was now a little anxious due to financial problems, so of course he focused on this piece of meat.
As the representative of Yingchuan, Xun Yu was inevitably caught in the dilemma of loyalty or family, so when Cao Cao talked about business, he remained motionless...
One side is the family and the other side is the lord, how to choose?
"Haha..." Guo Jia laughed softly. For him, although he was born in the Guo family, his connection with the Guo family was not deep, so he did not have too many family considerations, so he looked at this issue.
At that time, he was more relaxed than Xun Yu, "The important thing about Qiusi's trade method is not the merchants, but the utensils..."
Cao Cao frowned slightly and said, "Feng Xiao, please tell me in detail."
Guo Jia met Cao Cao's gaze and said in a steady voice, "Everything in Shandong is available in Guanzhong, but there is nothing in Guanzhong in Shandong. This is the essence of Hussar trade and is not a matter for merchants..."
Guo Jia's voice became slightly lowered, "In the past, there were people who looked up to the heaven and earth, looked up to the sacred bow, looked at the summer and cultivated virtues, looked at the four descendants and resisted. The source of the river in the west, the sea in the east, and the river in the north.
The moving cliffs, the Zhuyin in the south... But now, the thunder of the chariots is no longer, the galloping horses are no longer alive, the strings are not able to control the birds, and the bridles are not able to be manipulated..."
"Golden silk fans, silver threaded clothes, jade bamboo paper, black and green ink, what kind of things do not come from Chang'an? The Dayuan horse in the western region, the hundred-step bow in the northern Xinjiang, the clear heart tea from Sichuan and Sichuan, the intoxicating wine from Guanzhong, there are all kinds of things, and Shandong is all flocking to them.
There is nothing that can balance Guanzhong..." Guo Jia laughed, but the smile was extremely bitter, "How can you not be controlled by others? Therefore, as someone said, this is not a businessman's business, but the difference between utensils."
For a moment, the entire hall became a little dim.
The three of them were sitting there, as if they had become three statues, each with their own thoughts.
Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Guo Jia can be said to be the smartest people in the Han Dynasty at the moment, but they still have a headache for Fei Qian's unreasonable cards, and they don't know how to deal with them. This is beyond the control.
The concept of general business is somewhat similar to the model of cultural invasion, which invisibly dealt a heavy blow to the three of them.
The trouble is that even if Cao Cao and the other three people figure it out, they can't let everyone understand it.
Just like the unlucky child who cut his own kidneys for the fruit machine in later generations, in his eyes and heart at that time, the fruit machine must have been occupied, and his desire made him lose his mind...
Even though the enemy is powerful, he will always be defeated one day, but if he is controlled by his own desires, he will lose the hope of seeing the light again.
"try to find!"
Cao Cao slapped the table hard, and because the sound he made through gritted teeth sounded more like "fuck", well, maybe that's what it meant originally.
"Find it! I don't believe it. In this glorious land of the Han Dynasty, there is nothing that can check and balance Guanzhong!" Cao Cao said angrily, "If it's because of the merchants, the merchants will win. If it's because of the utensils, then the utensils will win."
It! You must let Hussar know that no one family is the only one in the world!』
The gauze curtain was floating in the bright hall, and even though Cao Cao's voice was passionate, it could not penetrate the soft gauze curtain, and there was no response...
