Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 567 Live With Dignity
The first grand court meeting in the seven years of Jian'an.

Hebei has been settled, and Wuhuan has been leveled. After the imperial court rewarded meritorious officials, it discussed the governance of Youzhou and other places.

Youzhou has been continuously invaded by the Wuhuan in recent years, resulting in no rooster crowing for thousands of miles in Youzhou, and the bones of the dead are exposed in the wild. The people of Youzhou have become a luxury just to live, let alone paying taxes and so on. up.

Therefore, Liu Xie, who aspired to become the "son of benevolence", announced in court today:
"Reduce and exempt the people of Youzhou from taxes for five years.

Accelerate the agricultural and commercial expansion plans for the four prefectures of Ji, You, Bing, and Qing.

Orderly liberalize the business in the four prefectures of Hebei, give certain commercial tax reductions and exemptions, and strive to enable the four prefectures of Hebei to realize commercial tax payments before the five-year tax reduction and exemption time limit of Youzhou, so as to completely reduce and exempt farmers from taxes. "

This is not Liu Xie's bragging, but the land of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou gave him Liu Xie's confidence with practical actions.

It was also after seeing a series of changes brought about by the prosperity of business that Liu Xie and the court officials knew that even if the people did not need to turn over the land, they could support an empire in Nuoda.Because the country has money, it can use the money to buy and store grain, and even buy it from other countries.

Although in the process of completing this series of policies and reforms, Liu Xie was at most a mascot, but he is the emperor after all, and he gets along well with the Cao Group. Sometimes Cao Cao is willing to let Liu Xie stand up and pretend to be a mascot a pack.

Hello, hello, everyone, why fight to the death for some vain things?This is the truth Liu Xie realized from the Yidaizhao incident.

The officials in the court naturally knew that what Liu Xie said was actually Cao Cao's idea.

But these measures are good policies that benefit the country and the people, and the people's livelihood. Moreover, Cao Cao's rule is now prosperous, and everyone's salary has been raised several times in a row. Naturally, no fool jumped out to oppose it.

The court meeting lasted almost until noon, and the ministers were already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.

The emperor didn't care about his meal, so he slipped away alone and went back to the harem to play with his daughter.So the ministers met in twos and threes to discuss which restaurant or restaurant to go to at noon to reward themselves.

Recently, the little princess heard a story about Lu Lingqi, Zhao Xue, and Zhou Yan who led the army to kill Wuhuan from some court lady and eunuch.
Now every time Liu Xie saw her, she would wave the wooden gun indiscriminately in her hand, yelling that she would learn from them to be generals when she grew up, and go to battle to kill the enemy, which really gave Liu Xie a headache.

Cao Cao's army was about to go south to clean up Liu Biao and Sun Quan, but Lu Bu only stared at the grasslands and was not interested in the war in the south, so the Cao and Lu families began to discuss and prepare to hand over the defense of the border.

Lu Bu's roots are undoubtedly in Qingzhou, especially those aristocratic families who moved to Qingzhou with Chen Gong in the early years. They have already taken root in Qingzhou and developed their own foundation.

However, after Chen Gong took a trip to Xuchang, the policies under Lu Bu's rule began to gradually approach Cao Cao; the most important one was that land cannot be bought and sold without authorization, which also led to the inseparable relationship between Chen Gong and those aristocratic families. .

Later, after the commercial interoperability between Cao and Lu was realized, the gentry of the aristocratic family gradually discovered that doing business was much more expensive than raising money from Kuhaha and the land!
So under Chen Gong's intentional or unintentional guidance, the industrial structure of each family began to change slowly, and everyone put more energy on business.

The more people doing business, the more competition among businesses will arise.In addition, the imperial court imposed certain restrictions on the rights of chambers of commerce to avoid the formation of monopoly, so commerce and trade became more and more prosperous under the flourishing of a hundred flowers.

Lu Bu's forces are now getting closer to Cao Cao's forces. Because of Lu Yan's lubricant, the two have unlimited possibilities for cooperation.

With Lu Bu to help guard the Youzhou border, Cao Cao can spare more manpower to conquer the princes from all over the country as soon as possible.

Moreover, Cao Cao can be said to have money and food now, but when the rear is completely stabilized and the population increases again, then who else in the world is Boss Cao's opponent?
With money in his hand, Cao Cao began to invest heavily in the education system in various places.

He still kept Lu Yan's words firmly in his heart. If he wanted to avoid the monopoly of the aristocratic family, he had to give people from all walks of life the channels and space to rise up.

At the beginning of the seventh year of Jian'an,

Government schools once again ushered in a wave of explosions, and they blossomed everywhere under Cao Cao's rule; especially in several states in Hebei, running schools was the top priority besides people's livelihood.

The importance of the school is self-evident. A certain country in later generations was able to rise rapidly even though it was shattered into ruins. Apart from having the support of their father behind them, the most important thing is that they have cultivated a large number of talents themselves.

Official schools, no matter the children of aristocratic families, poor families or ordinary people, will be treated equally.The court can't control what is learned outside the classroom, but in the classroom, everyone learns the same thing.

After learning, there will be selection.

As a student with five lectures, four beauties and three good things cultivated by exam-oriented education, Lu Yan naturally wants to introduce this system, which is regarded as one of the fairest systems in the world, into this era.

The era of imperial examinations is coming soon, but Lu Yan has to kill the phrase "Everything is inferior, only reading is high" in the cradle.

As soon as this sentence came out, how many people in later generations were abused.Although everyone says that occupations do not distinguish between high and low, the reality is always very realistic.
The engineering department of the Taiyuan Academy will serve as a demonstration role for the superior treatment of supervisors, and the establishment of official workshops in various places to train people who don't like studying to learn technology. These are the outlets Lu Yan found for other professions.

"A student who is useless is a scholar", at least Lu Yan does not want to see this sentence appear in this era.

In the sixth year of Jian'an, autumn.

Ever since entering Runan, Xu Shu felt as if he had stepped into another world.

There are criss-cross ditches all over the fields; above the canals, there are many waterwheels of different shapes, which lead the water from the river into the ditches.

The Huaxia nation is a farming nation, and vigorously developing agriculture is naturally regarded by everyone as the way of the country.

Xu Shu has seen it now, so his heart is very surging now, "The ruler of Runan is well versed in the way to make the country rich and the people strong, and he must be a talent for managing the world. I should go and visit in person!"

After making up his mind, Xu Shu stood on the ridge of the field with his hands behind his back, listening to the people singing out of tune songs and watching their happy harvest, he murmured: "There is no hunger here, no hunger here. oppressed, the people live very well.”

"very"

Xu Shu said "very" twice in a row, wanting to say that he was very happy?very happy?But it always felt a little off.

At this moment, a group of people happened to pass by Xu Shu.

A man in his thirties with a slightly gloomy face, after hearing Xu Shu talking to himself, couldn't help but say for him, "Very dignified?"

"Dignity?!" Xu Shu was stunned when he heard the words, but he quickly came back to his senses, clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "That's right! It's dignity!!!"

The man's words gave Xu Shu a sense of enlightenment, so Xu Shu quickly turned around and bowed his hands to the man and said, "Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, thank you, brother, for clarifying my confusion!"

"Yuanzhi, did you just come from the south?" The man asked with a chuckle.

"Yes, Xu has just entered the territory of Runan today."

"Then quickly go to the government to register your identity, and you can study and travel in the Central Plains with peace of mind in the future."

After the man finished speaking with a smile, he suddenly apologized and said: "Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am very fond of you, and the name is Boning."

"I've met Brother Bo Ning!" Xu Shu bowed in return, but when he got up, Man Chong and his party had already left.
