Chapter 1016: Cao Pi entered the upper valley to investigate
Youzhou and Jizhou, known as the people, after the end of the autumn harvest, began to make fertilizers in full swing.
Jingzhou, Liu Bei and Cao Cao also received the news.
Cao Cao in Xinye held a newspaper in his hand.
Although the power is not as strong as before, Cao Cao still attaches great importance to intelligence.
Especially about Zhao Hui's every move.
"Gong Cao, Zhao Hui is about to establish a new monarch." Cheng Yu said.
"Leave this alone."
Although there is a Son of Heaven, he can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
But he still lost to Zhao Hui before.
The last time he escaped from Xu Du, if it wasn't for Xun Yu's request, Cao Cao didn't plan to take Liu Yin away.
He is now more concerned about the newspaper descriptions of fertilizers.
"Gongda, do you think this fertilizer is real or fake?" Cao Cao said.
"Fifty pounds per acre is raised, which is too exaggerated." Xun Yu Dao.
"You also think it's fake?" Cao Cao said, as if relieved.
Xun You shook his head and said, "No, although it is exaggerated, I don't think it should be fake." ”
Zhao Hui's newspaper, they read every issue, and there are all kinds of news that the spies heard, combined with each other, Xun You has never seen Zhao Hui's newspaper and published fake news.
It's exaggerated, it's hard for Xun You to believe it, but reason tells him that all this is true.
Although Zhao Hui's newspapers often favored Zhao Hui, praised Zhao Hui's merits and virtues, and suppressed and slandered Cao Cao.
However, what is said above is true.
"Gongda, although Zhao Hui's newspaper has never published fake news at that time, but this time, will it be fake?" Cheng Yu said.
Although they have never farmed, they are not scholars who do not divide grains.
They are very aware of the issues of civil affairs and people's livelihood.
It is too exaggerated to increase the yield of fifty catties per mu.
It's hard to believe.
Don't say that you just hear it from other people's mouths, even if you see it with your own eyes, you will think that you are dazzled.
If this is the case, Zhao Hui will never be short of food in the future.
"Cao Gong, whether it's true or not, we can't sit still, we should immediately send someone to Jizhou, go to Shanggu, and learn how to make fertilizer while inquiring about the truth or falsehood." Xun Yu Dao.
Cao Cao nodded: "Who wants to go to Shanggu?" ”
It's just an ordinary spy, Cao Cao is no longer at ease, he needs a capable general to go in person.
"Father, I'm willing to go."
It was Cao Cao's second son, Cao Pi, who spoke.
Cao Cao hesitated, and the death of his eldest son, Cao Ang, seemed to be still in sight.
"Second son, just leave this matter to others, and the second son doesn't need to take risks personally." Cheng Yu said.
"There is no danger in this matter, but the road is long, and there will be more hardships along the way." Cao Pi said.
"I'm disguised and no one will know who I am."
escaped from Xudu, Cao Pi finally realized that there were still people in the world that his father Cao Cao could not deal with.
Compared with his brother Cao Ang, he was taken by Cao Cao early on.
Cao Pi has much less experience, and he is only sixteen years old now.
"My son has this heart, and my heart is very comforted."
Cao Cao nodded, Cao Pi wanted to take the initiative to go, he shouldn't refuse, it was time for Cao Pi to see the world and let him have a good time.
Originally, Cao Cao wanted to entrust everything to his eldest son Cao Ang.
Cao Ang is dead, and it is not too late for him to start cultivating Cao Pi now.
Shanggu County is in the northwest of Youzhou, and Cao Pi has to pass through Youzhou in Jizhou along the way.
You can see the current situation of Zhao Hui's territory. Lazy people listen to books
I met the last time in person and experienced it in person, and I will be clearer in the future about how to face Zhao Hui.
This time, if Cao Pi can come back safely, he can be regarded as being on his own.
"Cao Gong, the second son is still young." Cheng Yu said.
"It's sixteen years old, not young." Cao Cao said
When he was sixteen years old, he dared to assassinate the eunuch Jian Shuo.
Although he agreed that Cao Pi would go to Shanggu, he still sent some capable guards.
"Didn't Liu Bei want us to send His Majesty to Xiangyang before?" Cao Cao said.
"What does Cao Gong mean is that he really wants to send His Majesty to Xiangyang?" Cheng Yu said.
Although Fu Shou gave birth to a prince, he will soon inherit the throne.
But the Son of Heaven in their hands is not necessarily hot, and there are still some benefits to staying in their hands.
And Liu Yin is only five years old, so he is very easy to control.
But Cao Cao now wants to gain a foothold in Jingzhou.
sent Liu Yin to Xiangyang, and he took the initiative to bow his head.
It depends on how Liu Bei chooses, and whether the two sides want to cooperate again.
Cao Cao is no problem at all, he was originally looking for someone to form an alliance.
It's just that Liu Bei disagrees.
But now, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue are already on Cao Cao's side.
Liu Bei didn't want to agree, and those families in Jingzhou wouldn't agree to him.
What's more, Jingzhou is not Liu Bei in charge now, Liu Qi is still there.
Liu Bei also saw the Jizhou People's Daily.
He felt similar to Cao Cao in his heart, and immediately sent someone to Jizhou to investigate.
All of them hurried to Jizhou.
In addition, Sun Ce's injury in Yangzhou has almost recovered, and he also sent people to Jizhou.
"My lord, there are a lot of people of unknown origin in the city."
Yecheng, there are soldiers guarding the city gate every day.
And on the streets of the city, I don't know how many spies are hidden.
What happened every day in Yecheng, as long as Zhao Hui wanted to know, even if Lao Wang next door stole a pound of wheat, Zhao Hui would be able to know.
After publishing the information of chemical fertilizer in the newspaper, Zhao Hui had already thought that this would happen.
"Don't care, if they just ask about fertilizer, tell them directly, want to learn how to make fertilizer, and teach them too, don't hide it."
Chemical fertilizers are only for civilian use, and Zhao Hui will not be particularly controlled.
If Cao Cao and Liu Bei were willing to help promote, how could Zhao Hui refuse.
The people of Yangzhou in Jingzhou are also the people of the Han Dynasty.
There is also Jiaozhou, Zhao Hui will ask Wei Shuang to teach the people of Jiaozhou the production method of chemical fertilizer directly when he goes next time.
Jizhou and Youzhou are the best to promote.
The merger of Qingzhou is a little difficult, some people have obeyed, and some people are still hesitating.
Throughout the promotion of chemical fertilizers, Zhao Hui has always prohibited coercive behavior.
Whether to make chemical fertilizers or not, whether to use them or not, is up to the people themselves.
Persecution is always bad.
Even if Zhao Hui is for their good, if they use coercion, there will only be a backlash.
Moreover, under coercion, it is also easy to have turmoil, and those officials, when dealing with it, the contradictions with the people are easy to provoke.
At that time, not only did it fail to make the people use chemical fertilizers, but it made the people's lives more and more difficult.
Even if some of the people in Qingzhou don't want to use chemical fertilizers, they will take the initiative next year after seeing the harvest of others in the autumn of next year.
No one is going to get along with themselves.
