Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 222 Love is Tolerable, Law Can't
Xu Capital City, inside the Si Nong Mansion.

Cao Cao and Lu Yu were talking about the problem of governance in Xu Capital City. Today's Xu Capital City is a big dye vat. If you don't pay attention, there will be big troubles!

And there were already some clues to the chaos. Man Chong "lived up to everyone's expectations" and kicked Cao Hong on the head. Behind Cao Hong was the huge "hornet's nest" of Cao and Xiahou's nobles.

If you think about it with your toes, you know that Cao Hong, Cao Zilian, the younger brother of Cao Cao, will not let it go.

"Mr. Cao, I..."

Lu Yu was about to speak.

"Report to Mr. Cao, there is another accident at the government office." Xu Chu broke in directly and reported the report.

Now is an extraordinary period, the Huben Army sergeants are spread all over Xudu City, and any disturbance can be reported to Cao Cao immediately.

Well?Has something happened to the government office again?
Cao Cao frowned, thinking in his heart, could it be... Man Chong captured the minister of the Man Dynasty, or the son of Qiao Pei Xungui again?Gatekeeper?
It's really a wave of ups and downs!
On the contrary, Lu Yu was extraordinarily calm, as if... After Man Chong was appointed as Xu Duling, it was only natural that something happened to the government office.

To be precise, it was not the government office that had an accident, but these self-proud feats, these self-proclaimed high-ranking ministers had an accident...it couldn't be more normal!
Otherwise... how can he be worthy of the name of Manfu Jun as a cruel official?
Xu Chu's words continued to spread.

"Just now, General Cao Hong sent five more disciples. They stopped the Manfu Lord. They first planned to bribe him, and then drew their swords to face each other... I never thought that these five people were directly subdued by the Manfu Lord. And the servants of the government office are also in ambush over there! Now...they are locked in the government office together, it seems...Master Manfu intends to punish them severely!"

This…

Cao Cao's expression became complicated.

It can be described as mixed joys and sorrows... I am happy for Man Chong's vigorous and resolute law enforcement, unreasonable, and unreasonable, but also feel ashamed for my family brother Cao Hong, who is not up to date.

only…

It seems that this matter is not over yet!

Man Chong imprisoned six disciples of Zi Lian in a row. According to Zi Lian's temperament... probably...

Sure enough, before Cao Cao thought of this, Xu Chu's words continued to spread. "General Cao Hong has been looking for Duke Cao all over the city, and he threatened to ask Duke Cao to seek justice for him! I'm afraid that it won't be long before he finds this Si Nong Mansion."

really…

This matter will eventually come to Cao Cao's side, and this is the last thing Cao Cao wants to see.

On one side is the vision of "using heavy codes in troubled times", and on the other side are brothers in the clan. The two are in a dilemma. No matter how Cao Cao judges?No matter whose side you are on, it is wrong, big mistake!
"Lu Si Nong, trouble is coming."

Cao Cao gave a wry smile, and sighed helplessly...

Lu Yu blinked his eyes. "Mr. Cao, you don't have to think about it too complicated! If General Zilian comes, you just need to close the door and disappear!"

"How is it possible?" Cao Cao waved his hand. "Zi Lian's six disciples were imprisoned in the government office, and Zi Lian is also famous for protecting the calf. If he doesn't see me about this matter, I'm afraid he won't let it go."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao shook his head helplessly. "However, this matter is related to the overall situation, and I can't handle it well!"

This is Cao Cao's trouble now...

In the past, there were not so many soldiers, not so many forces, and the emperor and the court were not involved!Being a king of the mountain in Yanzhou, you turn a blind eye to many things, and you can pass by just one sentence.

But now... the situation is different!

This is the first time for Cao Cao to have such a large territory, with so many civil and military men under him, and the forces in Xudu are even more complicated. The first thing he needs to do is to stabilize the situation in Xudu City, and to stabilize, he must first establish his prestige!

Ke Liwei stood on the head of his own brother, this matter...is not easy to handle!
Contrary to Cao Cao's ugly face, Lu Yu's expression was always relaxed.

It's like... From his point of view, this isn't a big deal at all.

"Mr. Cao, you underestimate Lord Manfu. If he can't even handle this kind of thing? You still need to bother Mr. Cao to deal with it, then... what qualifications does he have to do Xu Duling?"

Speaking of which...

Lu Yu paused for a moment, then continued: "General Zilian's temper? Mr. Cao knows, how could Mr. Manfu not know? Visiting the door to make trouble, bribery in private, pleading with Mr. Cao... These tricks cannot escape Mr. Manfu's eyes."

"If... my predictions are correct, these six disciples of Cao Hong, these six people who perverted the law, are probably dead! There is no one left, and they are all gone. Even if Cao Hong is angry... there is nothing he can do about it."

As soon as this statement comes out…

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly narrowed.

killed?Dead to the West?
Yu'er meant... Man Chong would kill these disciples?this…

Cao Cao hardly dared to think about these words... At any rate, this is also Cao Hong's disciple, he is Cao Cao's clansman, so he killed him without blinking his glasses?Would Man Chong have such courage?
Just thought of this...

"Report to Duke Cao!"

A Huben sergeant hurried over, and Xu Chu hurriedly turned around. He was thinking in his heart, so eager... afraid that something urgent might happen again!

But I saw the report of the tiger ben sergeant who was out of breath. "Government office... outside the government office, Manfu Jun shot six of General Cao Hong's disciples in the street. He said he wanted to set an example to others! He also said... he also said..."

These words are legendary, but... just listening to them, it made Xu Chu, and Cao Cao's expression suddenly changed.

"What did he say?" Cao Cao asked anxiously.

"Say..." Sergeant Huben tried to shout in a full-bodied tone: "The Son of Heaven breaks the law and ... is the same crime as the common people. What's more, if you bribe the judiciary, threaten the court officer, the crime will be aggravated, and you will be immediately executed with a stick, just to warn others! "

This is out of the way...

Cao Cao's brows tightened, and his expression changed suddenly!

It really made Yu'er become a proverb...

Kill it, this... kill it?Killed so lightly?
In the past...in Cao Cao's impression, Cheng Yu was the only one who could be called "Wolf Destroyer".

Hehe...hehe...

What a "emperor who breaks the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime"... so bold!How courageous!

After a short frown, ha, ha ha... Cao Cao actually laughed out of nowhere.

Cao Cao, who was entangled because of Cao Hong a moment ago, suddenly became clear and thorough at this moment!
Yes…

It is Cao Cao's idea and vision to use heavy codes in troubled times, but... Cao Cao has been unable to make up his mind to implement it.

After all, Cao Cao was still reluctant to punish these meritorious ministers around him.

Man Chong set an example to Cao Cao.

What about feats?In front of Wang Tu's hegemony... in front of the vision of "using heavy codes in troubled times", meritorious disciples will be punished even if they commit crimes!

This time for Cao Hong, for Qiao Pei's meritorious service... Isn't it a "killing chickens to warn monkeys" and "knocking mountains to shake tigers"?

call…

Cao Cao let out a long breath. At this moment, he suddenly felt...

The favorite that Yu'er recommended to him is really not simple...

Even, to a certain extent, at this point in time, he is more shining and brilliant than the ten fierce generals!

"Uh..." Lu Yu said in a timely manner. "Didn't Mr. Cao still worry about his subordinates taking credit for their arrogance, and the courtiers disobedient to discipline? Now... the Lord Manfu has already done this act of 'killing the chicken'. It depends on whether Mr. Cao wants to 'warn the monkey'!"

Speaking of this, Lu Yu's tone became much more serious.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make Xu's capital as safe as a rock, to make the ministers of the court, and to make those nobles fearful. Duke Cao must seize it! And no, the success will fall short!"

...

call…

Cao Cao let out a long breath again.

He closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation...

One breath, two breaths, ten breaths, twenty breaths!

After forty breaths, his eyes finally opened gradually.

"Zhongkang..." Cao Cao called Xu Chu...

"The end is here!"

"Secretly spread the news that Zilian saved my life in the Battle of Xingyang, to the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and to the ears of every soldier!"

ah... ah...

Xu Chu didn't understand Cao Cao's order for a while.

Still, he surrendered.

"Here!"

"More!" Cao Cao's instructions continued. "Tell Xun Lingjun to ask His Majesty for an imperial edict to reward Manfujun, and reward Manchu immediately!"

"Here..." Xu Chu agreed again.

"In addition, find a sandalwood plaque immediately. I, Cao Cao, will write seven characters in my own handwriting and send it to Lord Manfu, and also to our government office in Xudu City!"

Uh... seven words?

Blunting these words, Lu Yu muttered in his heart, what seven words?

But at this time...

Cao Cao said bluntly: "Lu Si Nong, come with me to mention the word? How about it?"

"It's an honor!" Lu Yu agreed, and walked out the door with Cao Cao...

Huben Army's work efficiency is extremely high, but within half a cup of tea, the plaque has already been brought up.

When Cao Cao picked up the brush, the brush was like a dragon and a snake, and the brush was flying like a fly. The strokes were vigorous and powerful, but it was quite...the taste of Cai Yongfei's white books in the past.

The first character - "Love"!
The second and third characters are almost a stroke of outline - "Ke", "Rong"

love...

Lu Yu recalled it all at once, could it be such seven words...

Sure enough, after Cao Cao dipped in the mill, the last four words became "the law cannot be tolerated" in one go!
Immediately, on the sandalwood base, a line of seven big characters jumped out of the plaque bordered by gold characters—love can be tolerated, but law cannot be tolerated!
Hehe, Lu Yu murmured in his heart, Lao Cao deserves to be Lao Cao, when he really has to make a choice... As long as it is for Wang Tu's hegemony, he can sacrifice Qiao Pei's noble affection, and he must unswervingly support this " The vision of using heavy codes in troubled times...

And these seven shining big characters-"Love can be tolerated, but law cannot be tolerated" is a clear proof!

Lao Cao has something!

Lu Yu sighed...

What a good way to spread the news that Cao Hong rescued Cao Cao, so that all the ministers of the court would know!
What a show to the emperor, let the emperor issue an edict to reward the Manfu Lord!

What a plaque written by Cao Cao himself - love can be tolerated but law cannot be forgiven!

Ha ha…

If it is said that Man Chong killed Cao Hong's disciples, it was just knocking the mountain to shake the tiger and deter Cao Hong, a violent tiger.

So...Cao Cao used the reward for Man Chong to let the seven words "love can be tolerated and law can't be merciless" penetrate into everyone's heart. Man Chong's sentence "the prince breaks the law and the common people are the same crime" is very suitable for Cao Cao.

And this whole deployment, isn't it a "knock on the mountain and shake the tiger" against Qiao Pei's meritorious deeds and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty!
"Hahaha…"

After writing the plaque, Cao Cao laughed heartily.

This trip to Sinong Mansion is worthwhile...

The two most urgent problems that need to be solved are solved at once, wonderful, wonderful!
"Lu Sinong..." Thinking of the end, Cao Cao turned his head to look at Lu Yu, and he sighed with emotion. "The sky in Xu Capital City is about to change!"

"No..." Never thought, Lu Yu interrupted directly. "Grandpa Cao said carefully, the sky is about to dawn in Xu Capital City!"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao and Lu Yu looked at each other...

The two laughed knowingly.

...

...

Shock, shock, deafening!
It was only half a day's work, and the entire city of Xu Capital seemed like the sky had collapsed... The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the soldiers in the barracks were all talking about it!

As for the reason...

General Li Feng, an admonishing doctor, who has made countless contributions and even saved Cao Cao's life - Cao Hong!
Six of his disciples committed crimes, but they were executed by the newly promoted Xu Duling Man Chong in the street...

In anger, Cao Hong went to Cao Cao to seek justice, but the result was...Cao Sikong was behind closed doors!
...At the same time, Man Chong, who offended Qiao Pei Xungui, was actually rewarded by the emperor, and Cao Sikong even wrote a plaque himself-"Love can be tolerated, but law cannot be tolerated!"

This means a lot!
Now, as long as the head is not kicked by the donkey, they all realize a serious problem.

Who is in charge of Xu Ducheng?Maybe there is still controversy!
But once you commit crimes and despise the law...then there is only one person who has the final say—and everyone is very favored!

You know, the rise of Manchong... this is no different from... giving all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and Qiao Peixungui a punch of enlightenment...

Aren't you crazy?

No matter how awesome, is there Cao Hong who saved Cao Cao's life?

If his disciples make mistakes, they will be directly killed with the rod, as an example to others!
what about you?
And... this newly promoted Lord Manfu is a ruthless person!

It's just that he committed some crimes, so he will kill him if he says he wants to kill him?And so on... What else could he not do?
In the entire Xu capital city, for a moment...everyone is in danger!
If we say that in today's world, ghosts are most afraid of sorrow—Cheng Yu...

Then, the most frightening thing is that people are sad-full of pets!

Outside the gate of the government office...the plaque with a gold border, and the seven words "love can be tolerated, law cannot be tolerated" written by Cao Cao... are like a sharp knife hanging on everyone's head.

Not to mention ordinary people, people with meritorious service, and officials of the Han Dynasty never dared to go one step further.

The knock-on effect...continues.

The reputation of favoring and cruel officials spread throughout the Central Plains, which is tantamount to giving every official in charge of justice under Cao Cao a shot in the arm...

Everyone imitated Lord Manfu. They straightened their backs and dared to say "no" to those who perverted the law and those who committed crimes, especially to those dignitaries with status and background!
——Dare to arrest, dare to interrogate, dare to interrogate and judge...

If those who perverted the law dared to say a word, the famous sayings passed down by the Manfu Lord would be spit out one after another through the mouths of these government servants and officials.

——"The Son of Heaven commits the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law!"

——"If you say anyone's name, you are harming him!"

——"Love can be tolerated, but law cannot be tolerated!"

It seems that in just a few days, not only Xudu, but the entire Si, Xu, Yan, and Yu under Cao Cao's rule were permeated by the legal system.

Cao Cao's vision of "using heavy codes in troubled times" was initially realized.

Of course…

Cao Cao also has troubles, not to mention Cao Cao... Lu Yu is also troubled.

Sikong Mansion, Si Nong Mansion... almost full of Manchu ministers, Qiao Pei Xungui who came to intercede for the "perpetrators"...

Some disciples committed a crime and bumped into the hands of Lord Manfu...

If there is no oil and salt from Manchong, everyone can only come to Cao Cao.

As for begging Lu Yu...

It's because Man Chong was recommended by Lu Yu!
This point is not difficult to investigate. It can be said that... Cao Cao and Lu Yu are already the last straw for the "perpetrator" to be cleared of the crime.

only…

Whether it is Cao Cao or Lu Yu's attitude is very clear.

Regarding Manfujun's actions - no support, no opposition, no interference!

This time it's good...

Especially in Xu Ducheng, due to Cao Cao's silence, Lu Yu's non-intervention, and Man Chong's deterrence, in less than half a month... the entire security situation has taken on a new look.

There have never been incidents of taking credit for pride, bullying others, and exploiting the common people.

It seems... that the situation inside Xu Capital City is on the right track all of a sudden.

All unstable and unstable factors were completely killed in the cradle because of the man who was recommended by Lu Yu.

...

at the same time.

Under Cao Cao's rule, the garrison system is being vigorously promoted.

Except for Lu Yu's Long Xiao Battalion, Cao Chun's Tiger Cavalry, and Xia Houyuan's Leopard Cavalry, each of the six battalions needed [-]% of their soldiers to participate in farming.

In this way, while ensuring the combat effectiveness of each battalion, enrich the agricultural work!
Originally speaking... the soldiers who were selected for farming should have complained...

But in fact, they were very happy.

Because...Tianguan was set up in Tuntian.

The settings of Diannong Zhonglang and Diannong Xiaowei are analogous to the salaries of county guards and county magistrates, and...the same promotion mode as battlefield meritorious service, so that every soldier's enthusiasm for farming has skyrocketed.

After all, originally... there was only one way for them to advance to the military rank and change their lives, and that was to kill the enemy on the battlefield and exchange the enemy's head for their own merits and rewards.

But... this is the most risky and the most difficult.

As the saying goes, "one will succeed and ten will die" is not just a joke.

According to the military system of the Great Han Dynasty, only three thieves can be killed to become a commander, and ten thieves can be killed to become a centurion. It is difficult here... Every soldier knows it by heart!
Where is the battlefield?It's easy to hide with open guns, but hard to defend against hidden arrows, and you can't keep them all... You kill nine thieves, and when you see the position of centurion is right in front of you, one arrow is shot through, and it's just... a cool song.

it's good now…

You can be promoted by farming, as long as you grow well, you can be promoted!

Safe, efficient and painless!

There are a lot of Qingzhou soldiers in Cao Ying, and there are a lot of farmers in Qingzhou soldiers. They are very good at farming!

Isn't it more hopeful to go this way to advance than to fight on the battlefield?
Besides... the promotion of Tian Guan is based on the harvest, this point... Cao Cao's subordinates, the 10,000+ original Yellow Turban Army are all experts!

And...promoting a large number of people every year...

Even if it's not his turn ahead, he can survive for ten or eight years, and if he doesn't get it right, he can get the official title of Lieutenant of Diannong, a glorious family lintel.

Such thoughts almost filled the entire barracks...

The emotions of the soldiers farming the fields were unexpectedly high!
...

Xu Ducheng, Shangshutai.

Today Xun Yu sat in front of the desk case all morning, his eyes were always looking at the documents on the desk case.

These are documents reported by officials from various places, some for the emperor, and some for Cao Cao, all of which need to be classified by Shangshutai.

It's just that during this time... the content of the document is a little different.

A few days ago, there was still a response from the battalions to report to the army, which can be described as - in full swing!
Today, the topic changed, and the content of the report from the prefect of Chenliu County was actually related to Mintun.

And this is also the reason why Xun Yu remained motionless and his heart throbbed for the whole morning.

"Xun Lingjun, you have been sitting here for three hours, get up and move around!" Xi Zhicai reminded...

His health was not good, and after suffering from typhoid fever...he was almost rescued by Lu Yu from the gate of hell.

That's why Xizhi now pays more attention to the body...

Quit drinking and sex.

With Xi Zhicai's persuasion, Xun Yu stood up slowly, exercised his muscles and bones, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Zhicai? Si Nong's government has abolished the hundreds of years' plan to lose grain by cattle, and adopted the 'New Agricultural Policy'. Originally, I thought it would cause a certain degree of chaos, but I didn't expect...the effect is so remarkable? "

Well…

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai rolled his eyes.

Abolish the "planning the cow to lose the valley"!
This matter...was quite controversial in Shangshutai, but...because of the insistence of Da Sinonong Lu Yu, it was carried out on a small scale.

The first implementation place is Chenliu County in Yanzhou.

As for the effect?Not to mention Xun Yu... even Xi Zhicai is looking forward to it.

"The effect is remarkable? How remarkable? Xun Lingjun might as well talk about it in detail?"

When Xi Zhicai asked, Xun Yu's tone became meticulous. "Zhicai, do you know... before and after the new agricultural policy, how many farmers in Chenliu County, Yanzhou chose to cooperate with the government in farming?"

Xi Zhicai recalled a little before opening his mouth.

"Before the new policy, in Chenliu County, due to the severe drought last year, it seems that there were only more than 5000 farmers working with the government to cultivate!"

As for the post-New Deal, Xi Zhicai didn't know about it, so he didn't say much.

At this time, Xun Yu brought up the document sent by the prefect Chen Liu, and he said loudly: "The new agricultural policy has only been implemented for a month, and the farmers who have cooperated with our government have overturned..."

Speaking of this, Xun Yu made a fool of himself and showed three fingers.

Xi Zhicai was startled, and asked anxiously, "Thirty percent? Three times?"

"No..." Xun Yu replied solemnly: "Thirty times! Now in Chenliu County, there are as many as 15 farmers working with the government to cultivate the land! The supply of cultivated land is already in short supply!"

Huo…

15 farmers?
This... this... what kind of concept is this?
The entire Chenliu County has a population of only 70 to [-], right?
15 peasant households gave up being tenant farmers of wealthy landlords, and turned to... cooperating with the government to cultivate farmland?This... this is too...

Xi Zhi just wanted to say something...

But in fact, he was at a loss for words, he was at a loss for words, no matter what... he couldn't imagine that the new agricultural policy could bring such incredible trust to the people and farmers, and produce such remarkable results!
It's just—horrible!
...
