Xuande

Chapter 293 Cao Mengde is going to be fully fired

To be honest, Cao Cao felt a lot of emotion along the way.

He originally thought that Liangzhou, which had just ended the war, must be in a state of ruins and would be relatively depressed, but this was not the case.

"I thought that after the war, Liangzhou must have been very depressed and many refugees had been displaced, but what I saw was that it was in good order. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Everyone was plowing and farming. Many business travelers went to and from it. It is a scene of prosperity.

When I was in Luoyang, I was always worried that Xuande would not be able to quell the chaos in Liangzhou, so it was difficult day and night. Who would have thought that Xuande would be so capable, able to pacify Liangzhou, and bring prosperity to Liangzhou? It is far beyond my imagination, the talent of Xuande is the talent of Zaifu! "

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei with envy, and sighed: "As long as I can have one percent of Xuande's talents and manage Wuwei County properly, I will be satisfied and comfort my ancestors."

Liu Bei laughed and patted Cao Cao on the shoulder.

"Meng De's talent is by no means limited to a prefect of a county. Now it is limited to merit and seniority. As long as Meng De is given enough time, what is a county or a state worth mentioning?"

Cao Cao didn't seem to have much confidence in this, saying that he could manage a county well first.

He didn't think he had Liu Bei's talent, and he had never managed a county or a county. He started a state, and ended up governing this desolate and dilapidated state.

"Xuande Yunwen Yunwu, out of the generals into the prime minister, will be famous in history!"

Cao Cao continued to speak warm praises, which made Liu Bei laugh again and again.

"In my impression, Cao Mengde is not a person who can say so many good things casually. Why, is it possible that Mengde wants to curry favor with his superiors and flatter him?"

Cao Cao also laughed.

"Xuande is the superior, so what's wrong with being a subordinate to please the superior? I just hope that what I do will not disappoint Xuande's expectations."

"Don't worry, Mengde, it's not difficult to manage a place well."

Liu Bei pointed to this vast land, and said slowly: "Facing the people on this land with sincerity and conscience, let them eat well and wear warm clothes, and they will appreciate your kindness. There is nothing better than the rule of a county. .”

"How difficult is that?"

Cao Cao sighed: "I dare not say that I will be able to manage a county well. I just hope that Xuande will not regret recommending me to be the prefect of Wuwei. That is enough."

"Meng De, I believe my vision is correct, I believe in you as I believe in myself."

Liu Bei said so.

Cao Cao had nothing to say, and he didn't know what else to say, so he could only hold Liu Bei's hand tightly, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would do his best to govern the local area in return for Liu Bei's trust in him.

Cao Mengde is going to fire at full power.

After that, Liu Bei took Cao Cao around a lot of places, explained to him the main points of governance in these places, gave him some tips, and then asked Cao Cao if he needed some administrative assistance from the state government.

Cao Cao immediately expressed his need for assistance in this regard.

This time Cao Cao set off, except for himself and his family and presents, only some Cao family guards followed him to take office.

With Cao's family environment, it is impossible to bring an administrative team like Liu Bei himself.

The Cao family can pull up an army, or even several armies, which is not difficult for the Cao family.

But if they want to pull up an administrative team, the characteristics of the Cao family determine that they cannot do it. Their family's political foundation is relatively weak, and it is not even comparable to Liu Bei, who has just started.

It happened that the Wuwei County Mansion was cleaned by Liu Bei before, killing several people and punishing a few local families. Now there is a shortage of people in the county mansion, so Liu Bei decided to pick a few people from the state mansion who can handle things quickly. The members serve as administrative assistants to Cao Cao so that Cao Cao will not be available to anyone.

The next thing will be up to Cao Cao himself. He is here to share the difficulties for Liu Bei, not to add burden to Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei left Wuwei County, Cao Cao began to act decisively. He wanted to familiarize himself with the government affairs of Wuwei County in the shortest possible time, understand all the things he had to do, and then immediately start to do things.

He had served as Luoyang Beiwei, Dunqiuling and other positions, and had some experience in governing local affairs, so he was by no means a political amateur.

So Liu Bei's confidence in Cao Cao is not without reason.

Liu Bei led Liangzhou to go farther and farther on the road of development. It can be said that since the third year of Zhongping, the situation in Liangzhou has begun to make great strides towards a complete improvement.

As the foundation of everything, the collective farm policy that Liu Bei cares about the most is also constantly developing under his strong promotion.

The original instructor's strategy played a big role.

Intimidated by the existence of the "instructor", no matter whether it is a talented prisoner who has mastered a whole body of talents or a miscellaneous man who can't distinguish the race, he is honestly learning farming from the people sent by Liu Bei in the collective farm technology.

Disobedient thorns will be publicly executed, and there will be no tolerance, so as to serve as a warning to others.

Afterwards, the agricultural talents transferred by Liu Bei from his hometown in Youzhou taught these imprisoned talents the improved Daitian method, taught them the most advanced farming techniques, and held various agricultural lectures from time to time, forcing these "Talent" people listen.

After the initial very frictional running-in process, the barbed imprisoned talents gradually moved towards serious farmers.

As long as he is not a pervert, a normal person is still willing to pursue a normal life. It is better to be able to obtain food in a safe and secure way than to exchange his life for food.

Moreover, for collective farms, the various taxes stipulated by Liu Bei are not high. A series of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been abolished, leaving only some reasonable grain taxes. the concept of.

And under the organization of the collective farm, even if an individual is conscripted out to do work, he does not have to worry that his part of the land will be abandoned and will not be able to keep up with the progress of farming. People who do things suffer.

The collective strength of everyone is lower than the risk in the state of small farmers, which greatly improves the survival rate. Over time, people who were not used to it at first gradually realized the benefits of the collective farm production mode.

Starting from the first collective farm established in Hanyang County, the collective farms in other counties have gradually stabilized over time, so Liu Bei can safely evacuate the instructors who have a taste of military coercion from the farm and return to the army.

At the same time, the properties that belonged to the collective farms were returned to the farms.

Borderlands like Liangzhou are more suitable for this kind of large-scale group-based production model. Whether it is farmland or collective farms, they are essentially for the purpose of concentrating energy to resist risks, increase harvest and survival rate, and belong to the wisdom of survival. .

However, in terms of the distribution model, the collective farm model is far superior to the highly exploitative farming model.

Although the farming model is large-scale and has the taste of collective production, the exploitation is extremely high, almost reaching half of the income of farmers. In order to survive, it is okay and cannot be maintained for a long time. Compared with it, collective farms have strong sustainability up.

But that doesn't mean there are no problems.

After a period of operation, the official in charge of the operation of collective farms in the state government—the civil affairs secretary Zuo Xunyu submitted a report to Liu Bei, mainly talking about some benefits and hidden dangers since the implementation of the collective farm policy.
