Xiaoguangong

Chapter 160 Migration of the Hu Min (1630 added for Ao)

Cao Cao felt deeply that his son had grown up, and felt that everything in Jingzhou was getting better now.

His main goal now is not revenge, but to restore stability under his rule as much as possible, and continue to maintain the strong advantage of the north over the south.

In addition to the more developed and better cultivated land in the north, Cao Jun also has a big killer in the field.

Mu tax law!

Simply put, this method is no matter what the year is like this year, no matter whether there is a natural disaster or not, as long as you plant the land, you must hand over the corresponding harvest to Cao Cao according to the theoretical amount.

People with normal tax laws generally can't figure it out. Xun Yu was immediately stupid when he heard about it.

At that time, Cao Cao said that he did not want to make things difficult for Xun Yu, so he told Xun Yu that it was not that he wanted to use such a crazy tax law, but that a county magistrate named Zaozhi and the captain of Tuntian (with about 300 people under his command) forced him to do so. Gu had no choice but to follow his advice, but nothing seemed to be a problem, so let's just do it later.

Therefore, under Cao Cao's rule, "received land and rented four liters per mu, and the household paid only two horses of silk and two catties of cotton." The results are remarkable.

Of course, Cao Cao also felt that this matter was a bit disgusting. After Zaoyi died for many years, he hurriedly made a "Jiazao Zhizi Chuzhong Canonization and Sacrifice Order", which confused the most important official in his lifetime. Zaoyi, the magistrate of the county, was later made the prefect, and his son was also made a marquis, and he was given the credit for farming the land. Everyone has revenge and resentment, so just don't come to Cao Cao's troubles.

But even so, Cao Cao was still quite uneasy.

As the war did not go well, Cao Jun's exploitation of the farmland intensified, and a large number of uprisings and escapes gradually became prevalent under Cao Jun's rule.

Before, these common people didn’t know where to escape, but now Huo Jun has launched the banner of reducing rent and interest in Nanyang and rebuilding the king’s paradise. Nanyang moved over.

This made Cao Cao secretly vigilant.

Most of the princes in the world are not much different from Cao Cao, and they all compare badly together. Cao Cao thinks that even if he is the worst one, it will not make many people abandon their homes and betray themselves.

But Liu Bei is different.

The most powerful thing about Liu Bei is not the martial arts he has practiced for many years, but that he can gradually attract a group of people to serve him through a concept that is completely different from other princes, so that he can regain his strength after being wiped out many times.

Ideology is the most powerful weapon.

Now Huo Jun has gradually shown that he is different, and Cao Cao can even immediately feel the shadow of Liu Beijun behind him.

It is not difficult for the whole army to attack Huo Jun, but if Liu Beijun has tasted the sweetness, it would be a very terrifying thing to continue to use this method to go deep into the rear and gradually weaken his own strength.

Those ordinary people who are promoted have no sense of loyalty to the emperor, and are easily deceived by Liu Bei's hypocrisy.

I have to ask Xun Lingjun to think of a way.

At the complicated moment, Cao Cao thought of his old friend Xun Yu for the first time.

Shang Shuling Xun Yu is the pillar of Cao Cao's ability to start and stand firm in the world from weak to strong. He proposed the law of serving the emperor for Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao can now issue orders in the name of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and a large number of people loyal to the Han Dynasty were killed. Forced to choose to cooperate with Cao Cao.

This person's strategic vision is extremely high. For so many years, Cao Cao was able to defeat Yuan Shao and steadily suppress Liu Bei. Xun Yu's contribution is the greatest.

But after the defeat of Chibi and the death of Kong Rong, Xun Yu has gradually developed a rift with Cao Cao.

He no longer recommended talents for Cao Cao, and even asked many times to visit Liu Bei in the capacity of Shang Shuling, and personally brought back Chen Qun and Xun You.

Cao Cao didn't dare to let Xun Yu pass by.

With Xun Yu's reputation, it would be a devastating blow to Cao Cao's current career if he went to join Liu Bei directly.

But Xun Yu has made up his mind, if Cao Cao disagrees, he will no longer design for Cao Cao.

The two remained in a stalemate for a long time.

The stalemate atmosphere makes Cao Cao very uncomfortable now.

"The current situation is all caused by the previous defeat at Chibi." Cao Cao's most trusted official, Wang Bi, said without hesitation, "The mu tax law cannot be changed.

Conquering Jingzhou and Jiangnan requires the power of water warfare. It is difficult for our army to exert its full strength for a while. We should take Le Jin as the leader and station in Xuxu Tuzhi in Jingzhou. Best policy. "

"Le Wenqian played, saying that as long as it is convenient, it will take five years, Sun Liu Keping.

With Ma Liang's plan, Yunshan's courage, and Jingzhou's solidity, it is better to make the people suffer for another five years, pay more money, food and taxes, and the prime minister first pacify Hanzhong and Liangzhou, and then it will not be too late to fight Sun Liu. "

Although Wang Bi is not a strategist like Xun Yu, his deduction of the war is also in line with Cao Cao's wishes.

Although the evil policy of reverse disaster relief like the mu tax law is disgusting, it cannot be abolished easily because of the food and clothing of millions of Cao troops.

Le Jin is confident that Sun Liu will be wiped out within five years, so he will be given five years to prepare. In these five years, Hanzhong and other places will be wiped out first.

only……

Cao Cao wanted to suffer more from the common people, but now those common people love leisure and hate work, and are unwilling to suffer. They would rather flee to the mountains to become thieves than honestly farm the land, which made Cao Cao very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Wang Bi had already thought of a suitable solution.

"Thieves in the mountains don't think about repaying, and they seek their own death.

But the prime minister forgot that there are still millions of young and strong people in Wuhuan, Xiongnu, and Xianbei in the north. They were surrendered by the prime minister before. If they can farm, who would like to herd horses and plunder and live in a bitter cold place?
How about moving the barbarians from the north to the Central Plains, and after a few years the Central Plains will be full and there will still be good soldiers and generals available, wouldn’t it be beautiful?”

Cao Cao thought about it too.

These barbarians in the north have no skills, and their combat power is mediocre, but they still have their strength.

The Central Plains has fought ten rooms and nine empty spaces for many years. If the barbarians are recruited into the Central Plains to farm, this problem can be solved.

It's not that the barbarians can't be educated. When Liu Bei entered Xuzhou, he had more than a thousand Wuhuan Huqi under his command, and they were not obedient and never looted.

Liu Bei can control these barbarians, why can't I, Cao Cao, do it.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao beamed with joy.

"Let Jingzhou stay temporarily for the past few years, and move Xianbei Wuhuan from Liaodong first. Be quick, and there must be no mistakes!"

·
Cao Cao felt that he was very successful in Jingzhou, and Guan Ping also thought that he had achieved great success in Jingzhou.

Xu Huang rushed to Guanzhong, and Le Jin handed over the important affairs of Jingzhou to Ma Liang and Guan Ping. Although Cai Mao was ambitious, he also knew which way to go, so he didn't hinder Guan Ping's good deeds.

Therefore, although Liu Beijun has only the four counties in Jingnan in name, he has actually mastered other lands in Jingzhou except Nanjun.

As long as Liu Bei is willing, he will order the entire Jingzhou to change its flag, which is enough to make Cao Cao vomit blood.

But after thinking about it, Zhuge Liang still sent a letter to Guan Ping, asking him to temporarily stabilize the current situation and not ask for major changes-it's very simple, if Liu Bei changes his flag immediately, the furious Cao Cao will have to fight Liu Bei if he wants to die.

It's better to develop slowly, first take Yizhou according to Longzhong's thinking, and then gather secretly after the soldiers are strong and strong, and then catch Cao Cao by surprise.

Yunshan's identity is now the biggest secret of Liu Bei's army. Liu Bei tries to control the secret as much as possible. The contact with Guan Ping is only done secretly through Liu Dun. If there is no important task, Guan Ping cannot be contacted. Guan Ping can decide all the battles in Jingzhou by himself. What Liu Bei has to do now is to quickly accumulate strength and use the four Jingnan counties in his hand to develop and grow.

But now there is a very difficult and realistic problem in front of the Sun and Liu armies——

Pan Zhang's death shocked Jiangdong, especially the Jiangbei people headed by Zhou Yu, who were extremely angry. Mo Ma Libing prepared to take revenge on Jiang Xia, and regarded Yunshan as the number one enemy.

Zhou Yu's soldiers were quite exhausted, so he ordered Guan Yu's Xiakou troops to launch an attack. In order to supervise Guan Yu's operations, his meritorious Cao Pang Tong came to Xiakou in the name of a labor force, and conveyed Zhou Yu's order to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu always had his eyes above the top, and when he heard Zhou Yu urging him to march, he couldn't help but sneered.

"Zhou Lang used his troops like a god, defeated Cao Ren in Jiangling and made his name known throughout the world, and Yu worshiped Yunshan several times in Xiakou, how dare he attack Shiyang?

How about asking Zhou Lang to come by himself. "

As he said that, Guan Yu clapped his hands again, and Zhao Lei arrived with Pan Liu, who was tied up in five flowers, and with a flick of his arm, Pan Liu immediately fell in front of Pang Tong.

"Shouldn't Pan Zhang be dead? He wanted to kill my son, and he died in Yunshan's hands, but Yunshan helped me out.

In order to avenge Pan Zhang, Zhou Lang asked me to attack Yunshan. Please forgive Guan for not following his orders. "

Guan Yu didn't get on well with most of the aristocratic families, and he was ready to have a big fight with Pang Tong after the fall, but he didn't expect Pang Tong to look at Pan Liu who fell to the ground with a smile, and nodded slightly:

"That's right, Pan Zhang really deserves to die.

It's just that the current Sun Liu alliance will join forces to hunt down thieves in the next few years, so it's really inappropriate to have a rift at this moment.

Junhou is not willing to crusade against Yunshan, Gong Jin will definitely come in person, and it would be bad if there is any mistake at that time. "

Guan Yu frowned thickly:
"What do you want to say?"

Pang Tong smiled cheerfully:
"Since Junhou thinks highly of General Yun so much, you might as well find some opportunities to make meritorious service for General Yun."

"What opportunity?" Guan Ping said casually, and then his face turned cold, "What do you mean?"

Pang Tong cheerfully said:
"Gongjin doesn't mean to be one-sided in Jiangdong, there are some things, I'm afraid it's not easy to be arbitrary.

Tong actually came up with a clever plan, which satisfied both families and gave General Yun credit.

I think the better General Yun is, the better it is for the big man, how about it? "

Guan Yu frowned for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"I will send someone to discuss this matter with Kong Ming first."

"If Kong Ming agrees?"

"Kong Ming said yes, that is what the elder brother said yes, I naturally have no objection."

Pang Tong stared at Guan Yu solemnly for a long time, and finally couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Kong Ming, I really envy you all." He smiled, "Stop hiding, why don't you come out and tell the lord about this matter one by one?"
