The noise in the temple stopped for an instant. Everyone turned their heads and looked at Cao Cao. Cao Cao looked solemnly and looked at the emperor seriously, paying no attention to anyone. The emperor looked at him, frowning, thinking deeply.
Then he looked at the other ministers, from Lu Zhi, Xun Yu, to Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo. The emperor was speechless. He waved his hand and said, "Come see me later."
Yuan Yi was carried away by the order of the imperial doctor, but in the temple, he left a trace of blood. The blood that could not be eliminated shrouded the entire temple. All the officials were silent. Even Yuan Shu frowned. He
He has always supported innovation, but now, he has some hesitation in his heart. He doesn't know whether this decree between himself and Cao Cao will benefit the country or cause turmoil.
"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be considered in the long term."
"It has already been discussed, why bother to discuss it again?!"
Cao Cao said: "Since Emperor Shizong, the rich have become richer and the poor have become poorer. Farmers have no land, and the rich families have become wild. Before Emperor Xiaokang promoted farming, how many people had no farmland? Do you know?"
"Nowadays, all the people have it, but I have never heard of anyone dying of starvation in the country!" someone retorted.
"Treat the symptoms but not the root cause. A hundred years later, these cultivated fields will become yours again!" Cao Cao roared.
"Cao Mengde!! Don't spit on others!!!"
Cao Cao smiled disdainfully and ignored the angry ministers. He looked at the emperor again, hoping that the emperor would support him.
The emperor looked at him and did not dare to make an easy decision.
"What do you think of the highway?"
Cao Cao quickly asked again, these were all done by him and Yuan Shu together. Yuan Shu was the emperor's confidant, and the emperor valued him very much. As long as he spoke, he would definitely be able to convince the emperor!
Yuan Shu looked at Cao Cao, pursed his lips, thought for a long time, and replied: "Let's discuss it later."
At that moment, Cao Cao was a little surprised and surprised. He looked at Yuan Shu and wanted to ask, but he couldn't say anything.
"Dismiss the dynasty!"
The court meeting ended like this. Cao Cao looked at the ministers around him and realized that he had missed the best opportunity. If he couldn't get it done today, it would be even more difficult in the future, because after these ministers returned, they would definitely make trouble and do a good job.
To compete with themselves, they will not understand what a huge impact their new policies can have on the world!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Cao Cao burst out laughing, laughing wantonly. His laughter was so harsh in the ears of the officials. When he saw the ministers leaving the temple one by one, Cao Cao stopped and looked at the voices and shadows of the officials.
Shaking his head, Yuan Shu stepped forward and said: "Mengde, the risks involved in this matter are huge. We cannot decide easily. We need to think more."
"You and I have been discussing this for half a year. Isn't this enough?"
"not enough!"
"Hahahaha, okay, then go and think about it slowly. Cao Cao alone can achieve such great achievements. One day, future generations will point at your graves and curse, and then read the song "Cao Cao"
Yin!" Cao Cao smiled, and then he and Han Men walked to the Hall of Houde, leaving Yuan Shu alone, standing in the hall, watching Cao Cao go away, silent.
After Cao Cao entered the Houde Hall, the Emperor asked the others to leave. Even the Hanmen were not allowed to stay. In the entire Houde Hall, only the Emperor and Cao Cao were left. The two sat facing each other. The Emperor
After thinking for a moment, he asked: "How much tax revenue will the new deal increase to the national treasury?"
"Your Majesty, the current amount can be increased three times."
"Huh? Seriously?"
"This is the lowest calculation. In the local area, there are countless wealthy families whose cultivated land is measured in millions of hectares."
"Will there be any harm to the people, and some Li Shu from well-off families?"
"Your Majesty, there are strict specifications for the amount. Each section has an amount. For the people, this is a huge benefit and does no harm."
"If Enke acts like this, I'm afraid there will be huge resistance."
"I know that what your Majesty is worried about is these idiots who claim to be talented people. These people are indeed the pillars of the country. They serve as officials and use their pens and ink. However, over the years,
The aristocratic families expanded day and night, annexing land, and countless people were destroyed. Although Emperor Xiaokang's actions stabilized the world, it did not cure the root cause!"
"I predict that after a hundred years, these cultivated fields will still be transferred to the hands of aristocratic families, and the people will still be in trouble. Your Majesty should worry about the people, not these great sages. How to deal with these
A traitor only needs one jailer, but if the people in the world cannot live anymore, well..."
"What's more, the prince's new policy came first. I feel that the prince saw these things very early, just like me, and all his previous actions were to prevent such a merger. Your Majesty, think about it, he opened a medical school
Aren’t the people at the bottom of society the most benefited from the Gong system? In the past, only wealthy families could serve as officials and govern the world, but now, even the children of poor families and ordinary families can have such talented people!"
"Nowadays, although there are fewer talented people from poor families, how many people are from aristocratic families and how many are from poor families? The academic system and the official education system promoted by the princes will be implemented together. In another ten years, I think it will be poor.
The number of disciples will be able to overwhelm the aristocratic families, and after another twenty, thirty, or one hundred years, the aristocratic families will no longer have anything to fear!"
"What I have to do now is to continue what the prince has not done and fundamentally interrupt the merger situation. Only such a reasonable tax system can prevent the wealthy families from having the courage to continue mergers and make ends meet, and the amount of farmland
If it is too high, taxes will rise to a level that is unbearable for them, which is a great good thing for the country!!!"
When Cao Cao said this, the emperor's heart gradually became brighter.
Cao Cao continued: "I know that after today, when I walk out of this palace, I will be the number one traitor in Xiping. In the future, I will be impeached by letters and the hostility of hundreds of officials may be greater than that of the prince. However, I am not afraid. I am willing to
I will shoulder the responsibility with all my strength, and I only hope that Your Majesty can help!"
"Hahaha!" The emperor actually laughed. He patted Cao Cao on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Cao, you are wrong!"
"I don't know what's wrong?"
"You're not the only one who will suffer infamy in the future!"
"Hahaha!"
The monarch and his ministers suddenly laughed.
At the end of the eleventh year of Xiping
After Cao Cao revised it again and made the content more thorough, the New Deal was still implemented. It was implemented despite the full opposition of hundreds of officials. Cao Cao directly chose to implement the New Deal throughout the world next year. He started from Tai
Xue and Menzixue, as well as many officials, selected a large number of children from poor families and assigned them to all parties to supervise and supervise.
They wanted to investigate the grain production situation in various places and find out the average. In order to prevent them from having an affair with a wealthy family, Cao Cao sent a large number of people to each county to supervise each other. Cao Cao didn't believe it.
Being able to control so many officials, of course, Cao Cao knew that the local officials would definitely not cooperate with the people he sent.
Therefore, he requested the emperor to order the emperor to dispatch the Southern Army, the Northern Army, and the troops stationed in various places, and to lead the Sima, Xiao Lieutenant, etc. to sit in the surrounding areas. Whenever something happened, he would ask the tax officials to report it to the army. With the deterrence of the military,
These people can't do anything at all. Sure enough, just as Cao Cao thought, after the army was dispatched, the local officials no longer dared to act arrogantly.
In the court, there were endless quarrels about this, and more than thirty ministers even reported to the emperor to force him to resign.
Unexpectedly, the emperor's attitude was even firmer than Cao Cao's. He directly asked all these people to leave, and installed his confidants and ministers who supported the new deal. Due to the reform, the entire temple was in the limelight, and the situation was a bit chaotic.
Zhang He mobilized, and embroidered messengers from all over the country were dispatched. In just one month, thousands of people were captured.
The situation in Luoyang was forcibly stabilized.
Cao Cao's reputation has indeed been ruined. He used to have so many friends, but now no one dares to get close to him. Only Guo Jia still maintains contact with Cao Cao and even helps him. But in the eyes of others
, Cao Cao was the king of the world, even a more ferocious traitor than him. He encouraged the emperor, virtuous ministers far away, and villains close to him to carry out harsh policies, and he would definitely be punished!
The descendants of Cao Cao's family also suffered an oncoming blow. In the same month, three of Cao Cao's clan members were imprisoned. The evidence was conclusive and the emperor had no way to rescue them. Cao Cao still ignored it, even if it was him.
His father tried hard to persuade him not to do this, but Cao Cao ignored him and even closed the door behind him. This is a strange thing!
Cao Song yelled: Do you want to destroy the Cao family? In the end, he had no choice but to leave.
The great Han Si Nong never saw his father behind closed doors!
Such crimes of unfilial piety made Cao Cao's reputation even worse. Even the common people were exaggerated by the scholars and began to curse Cao Cao. Cao Cao completely gave up his statement, and everything was unimportant.
He wants to realize his inner ambition, no matter what he encounters, he will definitely do it to the end!!!
Sitting in the study, Cao Cao did not raise his head and kept writing. It was here that he sat and launched the new policy of the country. In the courtyard, there were more than a hundred elite soldiers standing in the courtyard. Finally, Cao Cao
He also enjoyed Wang Fu's treatment and was surrounded by countless guards. With Wang Fu's lessons learned, the emperor did not dare to take this matter lightly.
In this way, he was busy until late at night. Cao Cao felt a little headache and a little dizzy. He stopped, stood up, opened the window, and looked at the twinkling stars outside. Cao Cao felt that he was very excited about poetry and wanted to write a poem.
First, however, as soon as this thought came up, it disappeared amid many thoughts. He sighed helplessly and sat back in his seat.
Not only Cao Cao, but also the Emperor was not spared. The Emperor's rigid behavior, including his refusal to give in to the ministers, also caused the Emperor's image to disappear in the eyes of all officials. The Emperor was not surprised by this, and also
He is not angry, he knows that the minister did not like his toughness before, but now it is just right.
Some of the officials insulted the emperor in person and were thrown into prison, while others insulted him secretly and were also captured by Zhang He. The emperor dismissed many ministers and directly ordered to prohibit their relatives from holding official positions. Since Emperor Xiaohuan
Afterwards, the second party ban seemed to have occurred. When the officials realized this, both scholars and ministers began to criticize the emperor!
Of course, the exception was the disciples from poor families, which also led to a more serious struggle between Taixue and Menzixue.
Why is the emperor so lustful, often half-clothed and playing with his maids?
Why is the emperor fond of wine, so the Qiongyuan is full of fine wine, and he uses the fine wine to spin puppets as a game.
This scene is just like thirty years ago, but the difference is that now there is Zhang He. Anyone who expressed dissatisfaction with the emperor was arrested by Zhang He for deceiving the emperor. The messenger of embroidered clothes was supported by two generations of kings for nearly
Thirty years later, it has already become a behemoth. When it fully exerted its effect, the scholars and ministers were frightened.
The pervasive secret conversations and simple and direct actions made countless plans in their minds come to nothing.
