As everyone thought, Cao Cao began to give orders after he became Situ. His duty should have been the land, but he seemed not satisfied with it. None of his first three decrees were related to land taxation.
He had a very close relationship with Liu Bei, a farmer. Liu Bei often rushed to Cao's house, and the two talked till night, and slept in the same bed. Cao made the four sons in the house treat Liu Bei as elders, and Liu Bei also liked them very much.
"Therefore, I think that those in higher positions cannot do everything personally. As a Situ, my father has made three strategies in advance. He must choose suitable young people to do it, so that more talents can be cultivated, and these three volumes can be carried out at the same time.
It will be of great benefit to my father to complete it within the time limit. My father is a Situ for the first time, and there are people who are dissatisfied both inside and outside the court. However, if my father has many political achievements and can surpass the previous princes, even if everyone is dissatisfied, the emperor will definitely protect my father.
of!"
Standing in front of his three brothers, his father, and even Uncle Liu, Cao Chong was not restrained or afraid, but spoke his opinions loudly.
After Cao Chong finished speaking, the others were still speechless, but Liu Bei exclaimed in surprise: "Is there really anyone in the world who knows this from birth?"
"Hahaha, Xuande is overrated. I don't know where this kid heard these words from!" Cao Cao said, but the love and pride in his words could not be hidden. Liu Bei admired Cao Chong very much.
After looking at him, he suddenly laughed and said: "Mr. Cao, I have two daughters. Although my daughters are not beautiful, they are well-educated and virtuous. They are deeply loved by me. Why don't I marry Mr. Cao?
Dear, how are you?"
The relationship between Cao Cao and Liu Bei was extremely close. Since the childhood friends left one by one, Liu Bei became Cao Cao's only close friend in the entire temple. When he heard Liu Bei's words, Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed and said with a smile: "Goodness
!I have five sons, which two of them does Xuande like?"
Liu Bei was stunned, I just wanted to marry my daughter to Cao Chong, why did I have to marry both of them?
However, when I thought about it, Cao Cao's children were all great. He had never had a close relationship with his eldest son, Cao Ang, but he had heard about his affairs in the Japanese country. Xun Yu repeatedly reported to impeach this son, saying that he had many friends.
, all the princes and princes in the Japanese country loved him very much, but in Yamatai, he completely ignored Xun Yu, and Xun Yu's decrees could not be implemented without him.
With Yu looking like this, I think this guy is a good one.
However, his status is really sensitive. As a vassal king, he also has considerable ambitions. This man cannot be his son-in-law!
This son, Cao Pi, has become the most favored confidant of the prince. He guards the East Palace all day long. When the emperor goes on patrol, he will definitely be followed behind him. He is a good man, gentle and has some tricks. The eldest daughter may be betrothed to him. As for Cao Zhang,
This guy is full of his father's heroic spirit, he is brave and aggressive, and may achieve great success in the future, but the battlefield is fierce, and he does not want his daughter to become a widow.
As for Cao Zhi, he was a weak man and was good at writing poetry, but he was still inferior to his younger brother.
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Everyone of Duke Cao's sons is outstanding. It's a pity that I only have two daughters. My eldest daughter is about the same age as Duke Cao's second son, so why not marry him? As for the younger daughter, she is married to Chong'er."
If we are about the same age, how about marrying him?" Cao Pi, who was kneeling down below and listening to the elders chatting, suddenly panicked, what's going on? Why is he suddenly getting married?
Cao Cao was very happy after hearing this and said: "Great kindness!!"
Cao Chong looked at them blankly and asked, "Father, am I going to get married?" Everyone laughed, and Cao Cao asked him to come over, sit on his knees, and said, "Yes, you will follow me in the future. Your uncle Liu's daughter is getting married, go and meet your father-in-law!" Cao Chong frowned and said: "But I don't want to get married. My brother said getting married is a very difficult thing. He said that the prince's young master was often bullied by his wife... .”
"Cough cough cough..." Cao Pi cleared his throat, and Cao Chong immediately stopped talking.
Cao Cao squinted his eyes and looked at his second son, Cao Pi.
........
Sitting in the East Palace, everyone looked at Cao Pi and Yuan Shang, a little confused. Did these two people have a fight? Why did they look so miserable? Yuan Shang's eyes were black, and he looked like he had been beaten. They couldn't even open their eyes. As for Cao Pi, he couldn't walk and was limping. The two looked at each other in silence and said nothing. Liu Mastiff didn't ask, but Sima Yi couldn't help it and asked: "Zihuan...what's wrong with you?"
"We have seen Xianfu look like this before, but what is your situation?"
"Alas, Mr. Sima, you don't know, I have already tasted the pain of marriage before I got married..." Cao Pi shook his head and said helplessly. Sima Yi couldn't help laughing and looked at Zhuge Liang on the side. , said: "Kong Ming, you are too dishonest. You have some experience in this area. Why don't you teach Zihuan one or two? It will make him suffer in vain!" Zhuge Liang had a dark face and did not reply.
"That's not right, you're not married yet, how can you suffer the consequences first?"
"My father beat me... I told Wulang that marriage was very difficult, but he told my father..."
"Hahaha!" Sima Yi couldn't help but laughed again, shook his head, and asked: "Who do you want to marry? Have you set a date? We also want to celebrate!" Cao Pi said helplessly: "Yes. She is the eldest daughter of Liu Sinong. My father is still discussing with him about the date and has not yet decided..." Everyone laughed again, Liu Mastiff also smiled and congratulated, and Cao Pi's face turned red with embarrassment when they said it.
"When Duke Cao takes office, he will implement three major strategies... Next, I'm afraid that Duke Cao will not rest. The Han finally has a truly capable minister..." Zhong Changtong, who is sitting at the end Suddenly he said, facing his flattering words, everyone was a little shocked. It was hard to hear this man praising others so much. Among the many wise ministers in the court, they only heard him praise Wang Fu. This Cao Cao was the second one. !
"It seems that liberal arts support innovation?" Liu Mastiff asked.
"That's natural. Only continuous innovation can make the country stronger... The strategies of the past are no longer relevant today. If you want to govern the country, innovation is the only way!" After hearing his words, some of the people agreed, and some others Those who disagreed, Pang Tong and Sima Yi strongly agreed, but the others did not agree, especially Zhuge Liang. He always felt that governing the country was a major matter, and no one knew the results of the reform, so he carried out it rashly. It will definitely cause chaos.
"Gentlemen... Duke Cao has reported this new strategy to His Majesty. He hopes that the officials in the East Palace can help... I wonder if everyone is willing to go?" Liu Mastiff asked. Everyone was a little surprised. Logically speaking, Cao Cao would not There was no one available, so they had to choose people in the East Palace. However, they soon understood that they wanted to train new people and make friends with the prince. No one said anything. Zhuge Liang said: "I will obey His Highness's orders."
"In this case, I have to trouble my uncle, Zhongda, Gongjin, Shiyuan, Wenli, and Xiaozhi to go to Situ's Mansion. The rest should stay in the East Palace. The assessment is coming soon. Your Majesty seems to want me to preside over it.
..I have little talent and little knowledge, and I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to complete it alone..."
"Here you go!"
When Zhuge Liang led everyone to Situ's mansion, Cao Cao was busy. This Situ was a different kind of Situ. They had seen Situ doing nothing, they had seen Situ who acted like a general, and they had also heard of Situ drawing a sword.
Situ who killed people, and even Situ who was reviled by thousands of people, had never seen anything like this before. Cao Situ made Situ's mansion look like a market. There were more than a dozen documents in the inner courtyard, all of which were from Situ's mansion.
The subordinate officials are densely packed.
And Cao Cao was among them, and he kept roaring.
“Give me the records of past veterinary orders!!”
"You guys! Go find Guo Jia now and tell him not to send people yet, I will send people here again!!"
Seeing a country's Situ sitting among the officials, yelling, it didn't look like he was governing the country, but more like a vendor on the street. Cao Cao was giving orders. When he saw Kong Ming and several people arriving, he waved his hands angrily.
He shouted: "What are you doing standing still! Why don't you help me!!" The officials from the East Palace who came were a little stunned. Seeing Cao Cao's violent appearance, they seemed to be about to rush over and beat him at the next moment. Everyone hurriedly stepped forward and asked the officials.
Is there anything I can do to help?
At this time, they discovered that Cao Cao was actually counting the amount of cultivated land in the past and reading countless documents. In addition, he was also counting population growth and even local changes. There were also brand-new ones that no one had ever noticed.
It was the statistics of the number of enlightened and literate people in the area. Only then did the officials in the East Palace realize that they seemed to have been deceived. Cao Cao did not want to support newcomers, but really wanted to use them as free labor!!!
They didn't know what the use of recording these was, but they didn't dare to ask. Everyone was busy until night, and the work was not finished. There were too many documents to consult, and Cao Cao did not make it difficult for them, forcing them to stay and write the article.
, Cao Cao finally returned to normal. He asked the officials to go back to rest. Not only that, he also ordered his servants to give these officials some money and even meat.
Everyone did not dare to accept it, and Cao Cao said: "You are very busy these days, so take these first. If you succeed, I will have a big reward!"
Everyone thanked them one after another and then left. Zhuge Liang took the others with him. He was also a little anxious. Cao Cao came over and he quickly said: "Mr. Cao, I might go back first. I have some things at home. I will definitely come early tomorrow.
..", Cao Cao looked at him with some pity, sighed, and said: "It's okay, you can go back, it's okay..." Seeing Zhuge Liang leave in a hurry, Cao Cao suddenly felt a little bit towards Cao Pi.
Guilty, it turns out what he said makes sense.
"Gentlemen...if I think it right, they are all unmarried..." Cao Cao looked at the rest of the people and asked with a smile.
Everyone was stunned, it seemed that this was really the case, Mr. Cao was really a god!
"In that case, then stay here. I will host a banquet in the mansion to entertain you all! Thank you for your help today!" Cao Cao squinted his eyes and said with a smile. No one dared to leave, so they could only agree, but
, I always feel that Mr. Situ is uneasy about his good intentions!!!
