Chapter 378: If you want to be rich, build roads first
Yecheng, Yamen.
At this time, Cao Cao was in the main hall of the government office, pacing left and right, his expression looking a little sad.
As for the reason, it was beyond his expectation. The subsequent strategic deployment was very complicated... One after another, problems were being spread through the mouths of a group of counselors...
"Mr. Cao..." Xun You first raised a difficult question. "Now that Jizhou has been pacified, it's the right time to hire people, but...our officials are a little overwhelmed...not to mention agriculture and water conservancy. The legal system in Jizhou alone also needs people."
…As the saying goes, heavy codes are used in troubled times, unless Xu Duling Manchong is transferred over...otherwise, the complicated situation in Jizhou will be difficult to handle!”
Speaking of this, Xun You paused for a moment. "Also... we also lack talents in terms of paperwork... Jizhou is pacified, and it is indispensable to go out to pacify the people... If it comes to fighting, we have many generals in the army, but if it comes to pens, we will accompany them.
There are not many officials... In my opinion, it is better to have Xun Lingjun..."
Xun You didn't finish what he said, but his meaning was very clear. It mainly focused on two points - legal system and documents.
His proposal was also very simple. He directly transferred Xu Ducheng's favorite, Xun Yu... This problem was solved in an instant.
call…
Hearing this, Cao Cao frowned slightly.
The top priority of Xu Capital City is that the legal system of Xu Capital City is related to the entire Central Plains, and the governance of Xu Capital City is also related to logistical supplies.
Whether it's Man Chong or Xun Yu, they can't be mobilized easily unless it's absolutely necessary...
With this in mind, Cao Cao frowned and said...
"Xu Ducheng is more important than Yecheng. Mobilizing Xu Duling and Xun Lingjun? Isn't this demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall?" Cao Cao waved his hand and directly rejected Xun You's proposal.
He thought for a moment, seemed to have thought of something, and then asked loudly.
"Gongda? We don't bring too many civilian officials with the army, but there are always many famous people in Jizhou area. We can imitate Xuzhou's governance strategy. Jizhou people govern Jizhou and use a large number of local officials!"
"That's okay!"
After only a few months of contact, I’m afraid it’s impossible to know people well and appoint them well. Besides…”
Xun You thought more deeply. He frowned slightly and continued. "Besides... our army has just captured Jizhou. To the north of Jizhou is Youzhou, among which Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi are eyeing. To the west of Jizhou is Bingzhou, as are senior officials.
Sharpening the sword is so hard, let alone... Qingzhou to the east, does Cao Sikong think that Yuan Tan will sincerely attach himself to it? "
call out…
As soon as he said this, Cao Cao let out a long breath. This is the key to the problem!
It is not difficult to implement the rule of law in Jizhou City, and it is not difficult to arrange local officials to govern it.
The difficulty is that under the watchful eye of the remnants of the Yuan family, every detail of Jizhou City must be carefully considered, and every appointment of officials in Jizhou City must be even more cautious. Otherwise, as long as Cao Cao makes a mistake, it will be enough to destroy the remnants of the Yuan family.
Find opportunities to counterattack.
"Sure enough, Gongda has a far-reaching vision and is more thoughtful..."
Cao Cao praised Xun You... and then waved his hand. "I didn't expect that the governance of Jizhou alone would have so many twists and turns, let alone... let alone trying to merge the states, Youzhou, and Qingzhou..."
Cao Cao's tone was a little stumbling, and he felt helpless as he sighed...
Suddenly, the circulation of air in the entire government office seemed to indicate four big words - helpless.
Another sigh...
All the counselors looked at each other, and they were as clear-eyed as to the current situation.
Although Yecheng was captured and Jizhou was captured, the Yuan family was as panicked as a lost dog.
But…
Hidden dangers here still exist, and the entire Jizhou is still full of dangers... The attempt to capture Jizhou is just the beginning of the annihilation of the Yuan family, and it is still far from a complete end!
call…
How to govern Jizhou next?
How to seek Bingzhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou?
How to remain undefeated in a new round of games with Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, and Gao Gan, and how to deal with Gongsun Kang in Liaodong, Wuhuan in the north, and the Xiongnu in the south are what Cao Cao's camp should think about most.
certainly…
At this time, Cao Cao and his advisers did not make perfect plans for this.
After all, Jizhou is surrounded by enemies on three sides. If you are not careful, you may lose everything...
…
The proceedings at the government office have come to an end.
But for Cao Cao, this was just the beginning, another round of journey, the beginning of pacifying the northern border.
Cao Cao walked out of the government office with his head lowered all the time. He was meditating, meditating carefully.
He is committed to pacifying the northern border and striving for world hegemony...
Now...the capture of Jizhou has opened up a huge gap in the northern border!
It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning. What is the most important step to take next?
Should we recuperate, wait for a year or two, and properly arrange the governance of Jizhou? Or should we use our troops quickly and attack Bingzhou? Youzhou? Or Qingzhou, without giving the remnants of the Yuan family any chance to breathe, and pacify the northern border in one go?
It’s time to make a choice again!
...Speaking of which, Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, Gao Gan, none of these guys can save fuel!
On the contrary, she, Cao Cao, now lacks a lamp, a guiding light...
"It's true what Brother Yi said, I was stupid and naive again!"
After thinking for a moment, Cao Cao finally came to his senses. He stretched out his hand and patted his forehead, then shook his head and said with a bitter smile. "The formulation of the next strategic plan is not simple! It seems that I have to consult Brother Yi for the specific plan.
"
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile bitterly again. He raised his eyes and looked at the sky faintly. It was already dusk... It would be time to have dinner soon.
Cao Cao's eyes continued to move downward, and the direction he moved was thirty miles east of Yecheng. The Youjian Villa there has been renovated. Brother Yi should be staying there tonight.
With this in mind, Cao Cao hurriedly greeted him, "Zi Xiao..."
"Brother..." Cao Ren hurried over. Before Cao Cao could continue to speak, Cao Ren had already said with a smile. "The horses are ready. There is a mountain villa in the east of Yecheng that still lacks some fine wine. I will also send someone to give it to you."
Get ready, big brother...when shall we set off!"
Huo…
Hearing this, Cao Cao was stunned.
Damn it, Cao Ren is like a roundworm in his stomach. The government office meeting has no results. He has already arranged his trip to Youjian Villa as soon as possible. This operation can get full marks!
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Cao Cao laughed out loud and asked curiously, "Zixiao, this is the main road east of Yecheng..."
Before he could finish his words, Cao Ren once again answered first. "Don't worry, brother, the official road from Yecheng to Youjian Villa in the east of the city has been repaired long ago. The entire road is brightly lit and smooth..."
At this point, Cao Ren did not forget to add a sentence. "By the way, several military advisors also asked me why I wanted to go to Jizhou and not do anything else but build the road to the east of Yecheng first..."
Well…
Cao Cao was suddenly curious and asked with a smile, "How did Zixiao answer?"
"Harm! Brother Yi once mentioned something..." Cao Ren waved his hand. "I answered according to his words - if you want to be rich, build roads first!"
Ha ha ha ha…
Cao Cao laughed happily. The laughter was magical and cheerful. It seemed that because he was about to meet Brother Yi, the so-called governance of Jizhou City, the so-called capture of Qingzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou were no longer a problem.
.
Especially this sentence... If you want to get rich, build roads first, it really speaks to Cao Cao's heart...
If you want to be rich, prosperous, and become a king, why don't you put some thought into building the asphalt road leading to Brother Yi's heart?
Who has built this road? Then everything else will fall into place?
With this in mind, Cao Cao got on his horse...
With the sound of horse hooves "ta da da".
The two people and the horse quickly disappeared into the dusk moonlight. The sky was getting dark and the cold wind was biting, but they couldn't help but look forward to Youjian Villa, Yi Xiaotian... and look forward to having a drink!
