Yi Xiaotian stood up and planned to fill Cao Cao with wine.
Cao Cao couldn't wait any longer, so he hurriedly took the jug, poured it himself, and asked hurriedly: "Brother Yi, don't show off. Are you willing to surrender these 300,000 thieves? How can it be a blessing and not a curse?"
"Brother Hi, you want to know?"
"Of course I want to know!" Cao Cao became more and more anxious, his eyes glowing green with urgency.
"In accepting the surrender of 300,000 Yellow Turban thieves, I am worried about nothing more than Yanzhou's food and grass and the loyalty of the moth thieves. To solve these two problems, only seven words are needed..."
Yi Xiaotian deliberately lowered his voice.
"What seven words?" Cao Cao's ears almost touched Yi Xiaotian's mouth...
"Build crops to build up military resources!" Yi Xiaotian blurted out after taking a sip of wine.
Huh... plowing and planting to accumulate military resources?
As soon as these seven words came out, Cao Cao tasted them carefully...
Cultivating and planting means attaching great importance to cultivating mulberry silkworms in Yanzhou.
To store military resources is to store enough supplies for the people and soldiers of Yanzhou.
These seven words are easier said than done.
Isn't the biggest problem now that there is not enough food in Yanzhou?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao still didn't come to his senses. What does this have to do with accepting the surrender of 300,000 moth thieves?
"Brother Yi, please tell me in detail. Why are you so pretentious again?" Cao Cao asked back. He couldn't understand Yi Xiaotian's arrogance. "Brother Yi, I was confused by you. You
Let’s make it easy to understand…”
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Yi Xiaotian laughed. "It's easy to understand. It's just two words, farm. Let these 300,000 yellow scarf thieves go to farm!"
Hu?Tuntian?
Cao Cao was startled...
Farming is not an unfamiliar thing to this era.
As early as the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, farming appeared. The benefits of farming are obvious, as it can provide sufficient supply of grain and grass.
First, it can get rid of the passive situation of being dependent on others and begging for food everywhere;
Secondly, it can lay a solid material foundation for its future development;
Third, we can make these Yellow Turban thieves self-sufficient...
The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea.
However, the reason why neither he nor Xun Yu thought about farming was because of the restrictions on farming.
Land and farm tools.
It is true that the number of farmers is sufficient and guaranteed to surrender 300,000 Yellow Turban thieves, but can Cao Cao provide so much cultivated land?
Also, don't look at Cao Cao's attack on Yi Xiaotian with two boxes of gold and silver jewelry.
In fact, he was short of money. If he wanted to cultivate the land, Yanzhou officials would need to prepare a large number of cattle, farm tools, and seeds.
Considering the number of 300,000 moth thieves, this would be a huge expense.
Cao Cao knew in his heart that even with all the efforts of Yanzhou, he might not be able to come up with so much money!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but shook his head. Yi Xiaotian's idea of farming was very good, but it was a bit unrealistic.
In other words, the plan is a good method, but it is a pity that Cao Cao did not have the money to put this plan into practice...
"well…"
Cao Cao let out a long sigh, and suddenly he was no longer in the mood to continue drinking.
"Brother Hidden? What's wrong with you?" Yi Xiaotian could naturally notice Cao Cao's expression. "Brother Hidden, your face changes so quickly. I heard that our Yanzhou Shepherd Cao Cao is also good at changing his face. You and I
He is worthy of a fight."
"Brother Yi, don't make fun of me anymore."
Cao Cao waved his hand, feeling annoyed... "The farming that Brother Yi mentioned is a good method! But it can't solve the actual problem..."
"Brother Yi, think about it, these 300,000 yellow turban thieves are pouring into Yanzhou? How much farmland will be used? Furthermore, how many oxen and farm tools will they need? It's not that I look down on Cao Cao... I'm afraid that Cao Cao's clever wife can't make a living without rice and pour Yanzhou over.
With all my strength, I can’t even raise the money for these cattle and farm tools!”
"Sigh... It seems that peace is still not coming to Yanzhou! My business is really out of business."
Cao Cao shook his head as he spoke, looking like "It's too difficult for me"...
I was originally thinking that Yi Xiaotian should say a few words of relief...
After all, Cao Cao's injured soul now needs others to comfort him.
How to know.
Ha ha ha ha…
The laughter that shook the rubble suddenly resounded throughout the entire wine shop.
Yi Xiaotian was smiling, and his smile was very bright, and he didn't seem to stop at all.
this?
Cao Cao was confused. I regarded you as a brother, but you watched my show and made fun of me...
Suddenly, his face darkened.
Yi Xiaotian walked to Cao Cao and sat on the floor, patting him gently on the shoulder.
"Hide it from my brother, otherwise I will say that you are unfounded."
"The two problems you mentioned are difficult for you, but for Cao Cao, they are a piece of cake..."
hehe…
Cao Cao immediately said "hehe"...
A piece of cake and a hammer, he is Cao Cao. He is trying so hard now that he has not come up with a countermeasure.
Ah Ma didn't say anything, as if he was angry.
Yi Xiaotian patted his shoulder again.
"Brother, let's talk about this land first. Yanzhou has just experienced a war. The big landowners who hold the land have either been killed by thieves, or they have packed up and ran away. Their land has become an ownerless land, and there is no need for it at all.
Worry about supply! As long as Cao Cao sends an official document, won’t all these ownerless lands come into his hands?”
call out…
The words came out of his mouth.
Cao Cao's eyes lit up and his body shook, as if a door to a new world had opened!
Yes, the moth thieves caused the most trouble in Yanzhou before...
Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, was killed. The other big landowners either died or fled, and they dared to stay in the land of right and wrong.
These lands are abandoned and no one takes care of them. Isn’t it considered ownerless land?
As for these ownerless lands, couldn't it be that he, Cao Cao, could take them all back to the states and counties with just a piece of official documents?
This empty-handed white wolf...wonderful!
"Brother Yi? What about the cattle, farm tools, and seeds? These are real things. There's no way Cao Cao can do anything with nothing, right?" Cao Cao asked anxiously...
"Brother Hide, you are usually quite shrewd, but why are Cao Cao always so stupid when thinking about things?"
Yi Xiaotian shook his head and pointed at his head. The meaning was very clear...
Hiding brother? Are you stupid?
Cao Cao was stunned, this was a bit embarrassing...
Pat your chest, as long as you can solve the big problem of surrendering 300,000 moth thieves, just be stupid...
"Brother Yi? Don't say half of what you said, just finish it!"
"Ha ha…"
Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly.
"Brother Hi, have you forgotten that the Yellow Turban thieves are farmers themselves? They carry the cattle and farm tools you mentioned with them everywhere. As for Cao Cao, he didn't even have to pay a bunch of five baht. This time
, he just picked up the wheat to run a mill, a business without capital and profit!"
"Maybe there are seeds missing? But how much are the seeds worth? Two strings of five baht can carry two sacks."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian patted Cao Cao on the shoulder again.
"Hey, Brother Hi, just relax! We will have peace in Yanzhou from now on! Your business is as stable as Mount Tai!"
Rumble…
As soon as this statement came out.
Cao Cao was startled, and in an instant, his whole body fell into an indescribable shock.
