I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 309 The swollen Cao Shuang

Chen Tai could only roar in anger.

No matter how angry he was, he could only roar one more time.

After yelling, he had no choice but to write a memorial to Luoyang.

This is a trap for Chen Tai and a big trap for Wei.

If the Wei State had not established a government military system in the Jingzhou area, there might not have been a Wei army that automatically moved from Nanyang to Xiangyang.

Because Cao Cao established the wrong service system back then, the families of the soldiers were "taken care of" well.

The soldiers did not dare to surrender to the enemy easily.

But the Fu army system is different. The Fu army system is soldiers drawn from good families, and the families of these soldiers are all members of the same household.

The management cost of establishing a household system for the people was higher than that of military households under the military system. For example, if the imperial court dared to touch these people, the people would have the courage to flee to local aristocratic families for refuge at any time.

He also felt that it was a bit of a trap to imitate the military system of Shu.

Play directly with the disappearing population.

Cao Shuang immediately thought that He Yan was right.

Moreover, if this issue is not handled well, it will become a political issue.

"The generals are all for Wei. If they are not severely punished, everyone will surrender in the future."

This is a game between the imperial court and local forces.

"How about I go ask Captain Sima for advice."

On the second day, the General's Office issued an order that all family members of those who surrendered would be dealt with according to the wrongful service system.

Cao Shuang said: "If this is the case, it will cause chaos among the people. Moreover, the Wei Dynasty has no laws on how to deal with the family members of the soldiers who surrender. If you arrest people rashly, the ministers will definitely object."

"Sima Zhongda is a good minister in governing the country." Cao Shuang said, "If I ask him for advice, it will be safer."

However, the newly appointed Minister of Civil Affairs, He Yan, said to Cao Shuang: "The lower officials do not think this is a serious matter. Whoever dares to surrender again will have all his family members arrested. The wife will be betrothed to others, and the father, brother and son will be Then serve as laborers.”

Cao Shuang was deeply impressed and stopped mentioning going to see Sima Yi.

Once this decree was issued, it immediately aroused opposition from many people.

Of course, our general Cao Shuang also became a little nervous when he learned about this.

Chen Tai finally realized that the government army system was not a completely good system. It deceived people and made them furious.

Cao Shuang fell into deep thought, and He Yan said on the side: "The Wei Dynasty has thousands of capable ministers, and the general can recognize the virtuous, so why must he support Sima Zhongda?"

"General, do you have to ask Sima Zhongda for advice on everything in the future?" Deng Yang, who was sitting aside, said.

Since the founding of the country, the Wei Dynasty has known how to make full use of resources.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Chen Tai's memorial was sent to Luoyang. Luoyang, which was originally filled with joy because of the liberalization of Shu money control, suddenly suffered a pain it should not have to bear, and the atmosphere became tense again.

Deng Yang said: "But if the court officials know that the general consults Sima Zhongda on everything, then where will the general's prestige be from now on?"

For example, widows must not waste their money.

Even Wang Su, who had been very fond of Cao Shuang a few months ago, immediately wrote a memorial to Cao Fang, clearly opposing the treatment of family members of the Fubing system according to the wrong service system.

In the next few days, dozens of officials submitted memorials opposing the general's handling of the situation.

On the 22nd of the first lunar month, after reading all the memorials, Cao Shuang's face was livid, and he felt that his power was threatened.

So, on the same day, he ordered the dismissal of all officials who had submitted memorials. A few days later, no officials reported on the matter.

On the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, the ice and snow in Xiangyang began to melt. The sun was shining outside, but Li Heng was sitting in the house writing something at his desk.

The fire nearby was burning brightly, and cups of tea were poured beside the table.

It wasn't until after he finished writing that it was already evening that Li Heng stretched and stood up.

At this time, Dong Hong and Ma Yong, the governor of Xiangyang, were notified that they could come to see the general.

"Lang Jun." Dong Hong called him habitually.

Li Heng walked back and forth beside the bed to stretch his body, and the setting sun stretched his shadow.

"sit."

"General." Ma Yong said, "Some information came back from Luoyang, and Cao Shuang dismissed more than twenty officials in one go."

Li Heng quickly took it, read it carefully, and then frowned.

"Why are so many officials suddenly opposed to Cao Shuang?"

"Cao Shuang ordered all the family members of the Wei army who fled to us to be arrested."

ah! Cao Shuang is such a pig!
Why don't you think carefully about why Wei Jun escaped?

At this damn time, shouldn't you take the opportunity to find out the reason, then raise the issue and let the ministers find a way to solve it?
If you took action so quickly, didn't you dig a hole and bury yourself?

Ma Yong said: "General, this Cao Shuang is really a ruthless man. He used thunderous means to suppress those who escaped so quickly. It seems that no one will escape next."

Dong Hong saw Li Heng frowning, as if he had something on his mind, and he said, "Didn't the general always say that only by our own strength can we revive the Han Dynasty? There is no need to expect the Wei army to surrender."

"I'm not worried about this, I'm worried about Cao Shuang. This man's mind is beyond my expectation."

Dong Hong and Ma Yong looked at each other, obviously not understanding what Li Heng said.

"These ministers of the State of Wei objected. Some of them thought that there was a better way to handle this matter. The handling of household registration for the people should not be so radical. After all, the government soldiers are more willing now. If the way to deal with deserters is too harsh, If taken to an extreme, it will cause difficulties in recruiting soldiers in the future.”

"The general's intention is that the people who live in the house will be worried that if they go to the battlefield and become a deserter, their families will be harmed, so they simply don't join the army?"

"Yes."

"Forcible conscription is also possible."

"Forced recruitment can be done once or twice, but if all the people know that a county or a county is being forced to do so, they will drag their families and their families to the local rich people to seek asylum. This is the reason why those people opposed Cao Shuang."

You know, there are still many people from poor families serving as officials in Cao Wei. Do they hope to see local aristocratic families get fatter because of this matter?
"General, why should we worry about Cao Shuang? Now that the ban on Han money has been lifted, even if Cao Shuang is driven out, Luoyang will not block our money again."

"You don't understand. Once Cao Shuang steps down, the only one who comes to power will be Sima Yi."

The two of them were startled at the same time.

Of course Sima Yi and the others knew.

Why did Li Heng choose to do business with Cao Shuang in Liangzhou, and even sent Huo Yi to deal with it between Longxi and Liangzhou.

Just to support Cao Shuang and suppress Sima Yi.

Unexpectedly, Cao Shuang had just been on stage for a few months and he was already in trouble!
This is faster than in the official history!
It seems that Cao Shuang has made money too easily in recent years and gained power easily, so he thinks everything is very easy.

For men, bloating is the beginning of death.
