The first thousand three hundred and seventy-first chapters were targeted
Chapter 1,371 Someone is targeting
The world only knows that Yi Xiaotian played a mainstay role in this three-party war, and even forced Liu Beijun to a dead end. However, they do not know that behind these results, it is also inseparable from Guo Jia's efforts.
Yes, just as they agreed at the beginning, Yi Xiaotian led everyone across the river and helped Sun Quan, Lu Xun and others in Jiangdong to repel Liu Bei's invasion, while Guo Jia stayed in Jiangbei and kept in touch with Yi Xiaotian at all times.
, and helped Yi Xiaotian prepare various follow-up arrangements.
The reason Gan Ning was able to achieve such a major victory at Wankou was naturally inseparable from the batch of bombs Guo Jia had prepared in advance.
but…
Obviously, Guo Jia appeared in Wankou... a long time ago.
Since then, Gan Ning has never seen Guo Jia again, so naturally he was not impressed enough by Guo Jia.
So where did Guo Jia go?
——
In fact, Guo Jia did two things during this period.
It seems to have nothing to do with the war, but they are all done under Yi Xiaotian's instructions.
At first, others may not be able to imagine it, but as early as a few months ago, Yi Xiaotian had planned the course of action for everyone in Youjian Villa in Yecheng for the next six months.
This is why Huang Yueying, Sun Shangxiang and others followed Yi Xiaotian to Jiangdong.
Because Cai Zhaoji, Zhen Luo, and others such as Ma Dai, Xu Chu, and others had been preparing for the opening of the next branch of Youjian Villa during the half-year training period.
Because the situation in Jiangdong was relatively complicated at the time, Yi Xiaotian decided to resolve the complicated war situation first, which would also pave the way for the subsequent development of Youjian Villa. But on the other hand, the development of Youjian Villa was already in progress.
It has been stagnant for a long time - this is not to say that the operation of Youjian Villa is unfavorable or anything.
With Guo Jia here, Youjian Villa's various businesses in the north have basically reached their peak.
In the past, if Youjian Villa was said to be as wealthy as the country, Yi Xiaotian might have refuted it, but since the powerful alliance with the Jade Bird Chamber of Commerce, saying that Youjian Villa's restaurant and catering industry is making a fortune every day seems to look down on their huge business network.
Well, because of Master Kuo's instruction, the tax revenue of Youjian Villa has been very low from beginning to end. Judging from the fact that this extremely low tax rate has contributed almost the same tax revenue as the combined income of the rest of the gentry in the entire north... maybe now the entire Wei State has increased
The assets that have been raised are not as good as the invisible assets of Arijian Villa.
This is quite a terrifying thing - when Xun Yu was still in charge of the Prime Minister's Office, most people were not very aware of this. However, after Cao Cao was granted the title of Duke and the founding of the country, the internal official organizations of the Wei State...especially the household registration and taxation
After the positions were changed, the new batch of officials who were to take office looked at the exaggerated figures on the account books and quickly spread the word about the terrifying wealth of Youjian Villa.
When was that?
Not long after Yi Xiaotian left Yecheng and set foot on the road to Jiangdong for the second time - the imperial court had just criticized Yi Xiaotian for his rather selfish way of acting. Many people thought that Cao Cao was a little too manipulative.
God, this will cause Youjian Villa to become a force independent of Cao Wei in the future and beyond their control.
Some people suggested that Cao Cao should rein in his power and warn Yi Xiaotian... Others suggested that they simply force Yi Xiaotian to live in Yecheng and give him a false official position so that he had to obey orders.
Having said that, it actually means the same thing - from Yi Xiaotian's various movements, everyone is keenly aware of the sense of separation between Yi Xiaotian and the Youjian Villa where he is located, and the Wei State.
Looking at the entire history, it is difficult to find similar examples - without reference, people will naturally feel panic. The key is what Yi Xiaotian is thinking. Even Cao Cao can't figure it out. What if... What if he is a little different?
idea, then this would be a devastating blow to Cao Wei.
However... this matter was finally suppressed because of a letter from Yi Xiaotian and several explanations from Cao Cao.
After that, Youjian Villa seemed to have made no further moves.
It makes money, and he also spends money investing in various places... There are very few larger cities in the north that don't have a store that has been put into operation.
And crucially, the most significant change that has occurred in business in recent years - the salt industry reform. As a leader of the change, Yi Xiaotian has mastered the core technology of making refined salt, but he has not really relied on it to make refined salt.
Making salt for profit.
After Cao Cao sanctioned a series of old northern noble families through refined salt, Youjian Salt Shop gradually became an official direct sales agency for refined salt - in other words, Yi Xiaotian directly handed over the power to operate the salt industry.
Not only did he give up huge benefits, he also showed his attitude.
This is one of the reasons why many people firmly believe that Yi Xiaotian and Youjian Villa's buttocks are not crooked.
So for the time being, few people in Yecheng mentioned the issue of Youjian Villa again - until someone discovered the amazing fact of Youjian Villa's assets and spread it.
Many people find that they have been too accustomed to the existence of Youjian Villa in the past, and have become numb to how much money Youjian Villa can make.
It wasn't until this time that the truth was revealed... Under the impact of the astronomical figures that were beyond people's imagination, some people finally felt that the threat of Youjian Villa was too great.
You are a private village owner. Although you are doing some business, you are not completely involved in military affairs. You can only make some money if you make some money.
But now that the money you earn is barely comparable to that of the entire country... no matter how generous an official you are, it will feel a bit outrageous at this time.
All this money went into Yi Xiaotian's pocket - what did he need so much money for?
Are you really going to rebel?
For a time, public opinion exploded, and some officials even directly submitted their resignations to Cao Cao to seal the Youjian Villa. However, with the help of a group of "old-school" officials and the suppression of Cao Cao himself, this request was
It won't spread.
But there is no airtight wall in the world, and of course it does not rule out that someone deliberately leaks such information to the public - soon a concise and concise account book of Youjian Villa flowed into the public through unknown hands, and under the influence of some uneasy and well-intentioned people
Under the guidance of others, the people seemed to have some resistance to Youjian Villa.
As for who took the lead in doing these things - on the surface it can be said that it was spontaneous actions by officials who had the interests of Wei as their fundamental concern, but with such efficient and organized control of public opinion... it is difficult not to let some clear-minded people
Discover the fishiness in it.
Some people are targeting Youjian Villa, years ago, and this time too.
