Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 296 The War Horn Sounds Again

After three bowls of rice and a cup of green tea, a group of high-ranking leaders in Qingzhou finally regained their dog-like clothes and beast masks, rubbing their bellies and sitting upright, looking more serious than anyone else.

The team building is almost done, and it's time to talk about work. Rubbing her belly, Jia Xu has a stern face again, and talks in a gloomy and clichéd manner.

"State herdsmen, the operation of the country is nothing more than farming and war. The lower officials still don't understand. The state herdsmen encourage extravagance, gold, silver, pearls and jade. If things go on like this, Qingzhou people's customs are still extravagant. Wouldn't it be polite and happy?"

"Lord Jia! I don't agree with what you said. Geng Zhan is just the most fundamental of governing the people! On top of Geng Zhan, to distinguish between good leaders and mediocre people, in my opinion, the word "distribution" should be added." !"

"Lord Jia, as far as you can see, how many wealthy and noble families have their warehouses overflowing? In your hometown, how many people have no overnight food?"

"Forehead……"

If he is a talkative person, he must have a lot of great principles, such as the noble and the humble, the way of the noble and the common will come out, but Jia Xu is a scholar. These days, scholars are actually not the same type of people as the powerful. Compare it with later generations Those rotten Confucians in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were much more pragmatic, especially since Jia Xu was from a poor family background, so he couldn't help himself, so he fell silent.

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with extravagance, even excessive extravagance. The fault lies in the privilege of unlimited expansion! Like now, with the help of all of you! We defeated the aristocratic families in Qidi and surrounded their privileges. We can no longer be like As in the past, the tenants in their own territory were extorted without limit, and no matter how extravagant they are, at most this family will spend all their ancestral savings, and it will be no problem to the people!"

"Besides, Benzhou Mu encouraged these aristocratic tyrants to go out to sea to search for gold. Building ships cost money and food! They also had to hire sailors and buy supplies. Invisibly, they took out the money, food and cloth they had hoarded and rotted, and distributed them People, Mr. Wenhe, throughout the ages, there has never been a place where the people have food and drink and rebelled!"

The back of his head came out with a golden light, and Wang Hou nodded proudly in Jia Xu's opinion.

"Besides, these guys have to find something for them to do, otherwise they will use their brains to fight with Benzhou Shepherd and me for power and profit! Instead of that, let them go out and fight!"

"But Zhou Mu, you made up all the gold! If you spend a lot of money and go to sea for nothing, and come back, wouldn't these aristocratic families take revenge on the Qingzhou government?"

This time it was actually Zhao Yun who raised the question, but Wang Hou who listened to this question rolled his eyes indifferently.

"They begged Tian to ask Tian Laohuo to buy the boat, and I didn't sell it to them. Benzhou Mu's principle is that they are not allowed to go to sea! Besides, even if you can't find gold, Japanese slaves can always get it at your fingertips! Now in Qingzhou The cane sugar business is booming, and every family is short of labor force, and the Japanese slaves can supplement it, which is enough to make the Chuhai family make money!"

Some Wang Hou did not say, that is, a family with real ambition and pioneering spirit can open up new fields and manors on Wajima, just like the Western colonists of later generations invaded the Americas, before the Japanese civilization developed, Infiltrate them with the colonists first!Using this as a springboard, it is even possible to discover America ahead of those Westerners!
There is a saying in Jianghu that "extreme joy begets sorrow". Just when Wang Hou was triumphantly building the company's development direction for his core team, suddenly, two soldiers rushed in from outside the door, hurriedly clasping their fists to report.

"Zhou Mu, Xu Du is here to pass on the prime minister's military order!"

In Qingzhou, warlords are really used to freedom, and no one has given him orders for a long time. The board of directors of Lengbuding Group has a new strategic goal, which really made Wang Hou stunned.

"Please come in soon!"

"Little obedience!"

Not to mention, the person who came this time is really not too big or small, Xia Houen is the one who carried the sword for Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao's distant nephew, with a military order box on his back, and ten knights riding tigers and leopards. The military boots came in with a heavy step on the concrete floor, and the guy's expression was obviously a little unhappy. Wang Hou made him a lot of trouble, and he ran to Linzi in high spirits to deliver the order, but there was nothing there. Sima Yi, who stayed behind in Linzi to deal with the aristocratic family, told him that Zhou Mu had been squatting by the sea!He traveled all the way to Qingdao City again, which was already somewhat beyond the time limit of the military order.

With a dark face, the guy started yelling in an extremely aggressive tone.

"Through the prime minister's military order, Qingzhou Mu Wang is thick..., wheezing..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the guy suddenly sniffed at the smell of braised broth, swallowed his saliva, and then continued to deliver the order.

"Wang Hou accepts the order!"

"The subordinate is here!"

Fortunately, it wasn't an imperial edict. As a state shepherd, Wang Hou didn't need to kneel down to greet him. He just took him behind him and bowed solemnly.

"Ten days after the autumn harvest, gather the soldiers, horses, food and grass of Qingzhou, join the prime minister's army in Nanpi, and attack Yecheng together! There must be no mistake!"

"The next officer obeys the order!"

He received the military order with both hands, but Wang Hou's heart was beating violently. He had worn it for so long in Qingzhou, a relatively comfortable corner of the empire, that he almost forgot that this was still the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms duel.

It seems that Guo Jia, Xunyu, and several high-intelligence guys have almost done their rivalry in Hebei. Mr. Cao is going to deal the last blow to the Yuan family in Hebei, starting the battle to unify the north!
The ease of Qingzhou is over. I am afraid that in the next two or three years, Qingzhou will have to raise the strength of the state to support Mr. Cao's Northern Expedition!

However, on the one hand, it is a challenge for Wang Hou, and on the other hand, it is also a great opportunity. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the war, he can openly break the rule of the old Hebei clan and forcibly draw them into his own Qingzhou model. Continue to expand your influence.

And go to the north, beat Wuhuan, is it still far from the big brother Xianbei who is the leader of Wuhuluanhua?

Holding the military order, Wang Hou was full of thoughts for a while. He looked down at the order Cao Cao gave him, and all kinds of thoughts surged in his head. Xia Houen suddenly swallowed his saliva and continued talking.

"Wang Zhoumu, the prime minister is still yelling at me, and the fate will be passed on to the next generation!"

What?I work so conscientiously, I gave Qingzhou to your old scum, and you still want to scold me?

But he is the prime minister, or his father-in-law!What can I do to scold Wang Hou?After being stunned, he could only show a submissive attitude, cupping his fists and bowing.

"Please reprimand the prime minister!"

Not to mention, it's no wonder that Cao Cao sent Xia Houen over to pass the order, his face turned black, and his expression was almost the same as Cao Cao's old scumbag.

"Wang Tuqiu! I entrust Qingzhou to you with high hopes. You don't want to be loyal to your duty. Instead, you want extravagance and extravagance. You build a golden carriage to show off in the market. You are really a scum of the court and a moth of officials! The old man was very angry and fined your carriage as punishment. Bring it with you during the October period! You can do it yourself!"

Uh..., Mr. Cao is shameless, and robbed Lao Tzu's carriage again!Sure enough, the old man is not a real relative!

However, how did he, the old scum, know?

With a sad old face, Wang Hou turned his head furiously. Sure enough, Jia Laodu quickly lowered his head at the right time, but looking at his trembling shoulders and his lewd expression that almost didn't make him laugh, he was so angry Wang Hou wanted to vomit blood again.

Yaya, first deduct your ten-year salary for suing!
