Chapter 53 Cao Qingtian, the other side of Cao Cao

Originally.

is such a Dunqiu County, which is only 300 miles away from Luoyang, Kyoto, and is known as the "Wolf Circle", and Daddy Cao Cao really did something practical.

The so-called "three hundred miles of the capital, the sky is high and the emperor is far away." ”

Before Cao Cao was appointed to the command of Dunqiu, there was hardly a decent store in Dunqiu County, except for the mansions built by the wealthy and nobles, and the pawnshops, rice shops, and cloth shops opened.

The food in the homes of the powerful is hoarded like a fat elephant, unscrupulously provoking these hungry people of Dunqiu all year round...

Cao Cao saw it in his eyes, and when he took office here, he first asked his father Cao Song for a sum of money, hired a group of thugs from other places, and then acted vigorously and resolutely, and issued the "Ten Punishments" order, among them: those who oppress the good - Zhu, those who enclose land without permission - Zhu, and it is even more sudden to stir up the situation in Dunqiu!

Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao began to settle the old case, with a knife in his hand, and the heads of seventeen powerful people in Dunqiu fell to the ground, and even more, dozens of powerful people who bought officials by spending money were all dismissed by Cao Cao!

Speaking of... Cao Cao didn't study hard during his studies, but he kept in mind the sentence "Heavy Classics in Troubled Times" instructed by the Grand Prince of Qiao Xuanqiao...

After more than a year of rectification, the people of Dunqiu County are solemn, and the heroes are carrying their tails one by one, while Cao Cao is digging rivers, reinforcing the embankment of the Yellow River, developing agriculture, handicrafts, commerce, and education, so that Dunqiu can be "governed"! The people liked Cao Cao very much, and even after "Cao Qingtian", they gave him a more affectionate name - "Hide from the master"!

When the imperial court received the tax paid by Dunqiu, there were a total of 116 ships, 5,000 wheat, 500 black beans, 500 broad beans, 500 buckwheat, as well as playthings, and a number of local specialties! So much... The Manchu Dynasty was shocked, you must know that the ten Dunqiu orders before Cao Cao were combined, and they didn't hand over so much! For a time, the entire Central Plains was boiling. Cao Cao was stunned, and the name of anti-corruption resounded in Luoyang, Kyoto.

For a while, the Son of Heaven occasionally mentioned it to Cao Jie? That Cao or something? Well done! But... This Son of Heaven, that is, the memory of seven days, did not write down Cao Cao's name in the end.

Now, the old man and the young scholar from Dunqiu tell the story of Cao Cao in Dunqiu, and Cao Shuo listens to it with relish. After a few conversations, I learned that this old man's surname was Sun, and he was a representative of the poor peasants in Dunqiu, and the young scholar was called Xiao Jianzi by the scholar who was reused by his father Cao Cao.

The two of them were still wearing single shoes, the soles and uppers had fallen off, they were covered in dust and mud, their lips were chapped, and their faces were frozen and bloody.

Cao Shuo hurriedly called the servants to buy some clothes and shoes, which could be regarded as helping Daddy Cao Cao take care of these two.

Of course, in the process of talking to them, Cao Shuo noticed that they always wanted to speak and stopped, and their eyes dodged from time to time, so there must be something...

"Grandpa Sun, Uncle Jian, is there something wrong with Dunqiu?" Cao Shuo took the initiative to ask. "Although Father is not in Luoyang, if I can do it, I can help!"

"Ugh..."

With a long sigh, Uncle Sun shook his head, glanced at Xiao Jianzi, and immediately talked about the vicissitudes of Cao Cao after he left Dunqiu.

"The school that Cao Qingtian spent more than a year to build, the orphanage and the disabled... All... It's all abandoned! When Uncle Sun said this, he was almost in tears.

Xiao Jianzi added: "Less than a month after the master left, those heroes began to oppress the people again, the school was forced to close, the students went home to farm, and the orphanage built by the master was directly forcibly demolished by those heroes, and the old people were driven away, and even... There are homeless elderly people starving to death. ”

Call...

With a long sigh, although he didn't see it with his own eyes, after the description of Uncle Sun and Xiao Jianzi, Cao Shuo could probably understand their feelings, Daddy Cao Cao's hard work for several years was in vain, and the people of Dunqiu were suffering...

Thanks to his father Cao Cao, he was not in Luoyang, relying on Cao Shuo's understanding of him.

He's going to hear this... If you can't keep it, you have to raise your knife and kill it to Dunqiu. Cao Daqingtian, ah no, it's Cao Daqing's stunned temperament, but it's not for you to play around.

"And..."

Xiao Jianzi continued to speak. "It would have been nice if it were just me waiting for a hard time, but... But..."

Bite one's tongue...

Cao Shuo's eyes opened suddenly, and everything in front of him was foreshadowing, so this is the purpose of Chen Ming's coming here, right?

Sure enough, Xiao Jianzi hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke. "I heard that the heroes of Dunqiu jointly drafted a 'Ten Sins', listing the crimes of the hidden master in Dunqiu, to... Present it to the Son of Heaven. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Jianzi paused and frowned. "What indiscriminate killing of innocents, what hatred of the powerful, what gangs, what fame and reputation, and... There are also bullies committed by the king, and there is no son of heaven. They want, they want revenge, little boy, you are the son of the hidden master, you must... Tell him! ”

Whew, it turned out that I was here to report the news.

Cao Shuo finally understood. No wonder, Uncle Sun and Xiao Jianzi have to travel 300 miles to Luoyang... They're here to report to Daddy Cao Cao! Daddy is very popular with the people!

But...

In Cao Shuo's view, the charges of indiscriminate killing of innocents, hatred of the powerful, forming gangs, and selling fame and reputation in the "Ten Sins" are not fatal, and Cao Song and Cao Jie can most of them be suppressed, but it is a bit difficult to deal with this deception!

Today's son of heaven, Cao Shuo knows too well.

He cares more about his business than being an emperor, and it is glittering gold... To put it bluntly, selling officials is the main business of this son of heaven, and it is his way of making money.

Daddy Cao Cao is good, and he directly dismissed dozens of officials sold by the emperor Lao Tzu, isn't this embarrassing to the Son of Heaven? Didn't you cut off the Son of Heaven's entry? This is going to be spread out, Liu Hong, the son of heaven who has always been honest in business? What would he think, you Cao Cao? Dare to slap me in the face?

Thinking of this, Cao Shuo's brows furrowed, and a touch of sadness appeared!

"Grandpa Sun, Uncle Jane, I can tell Father in advance, but Father did remove the officials sent by the Son of Heaven, this is a fact, you have to think about how to deal with it..."

"Little boy." Uncle Sun hurriedly took out a roll of cloth from his arms and opened it carefully, this is a finely woven plain silk, very precious, Cao Shuo also wondered, how could Uncle Sun have this.

Before he could think about it, Cao Shuo was startled, only to see a large roll of cloth printed with hundreds of bloody handprints that had already turned purple and black...

Not? The Book of the People?

The first thing Cao Shuo thought of was the Book of the People, and when the people in ancient times presented the Book of the People, they would bite their fingers and imprint it with blood.

However, Cao Shuo has always had a question, what kind of official is it? In order to make the people so loved! Dad... You can!

"Little boy, we don't expect Cao Qingtian to return to Dunqiu to preside over justice, but we only hope that Cao Qingtian will be safe." Uncle Sun handed over the Book of All People to Cao Shuo.

Xiao Jianzi also echoed and said: "This is the intention of the people of Dunqiu, we can't stop those heroes, but we must do something for the master." ”

After that, the two knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

"Grandpa Wu, Uncle Jian, get up quickly." Cao Shuo hurriedly helped the two of them up, carefully hid the book of the people in his arms, and immediately ordered someone to warm the warm rice wine, bring snacks and corn...

His heart is quite complicated, this book of the people, it looks quite infiltrating, in fact, it has little effect! Today, what I care about most is money, and then the integrity of doing business, if I really want to talk about it, I am afraid that the suffering of this people will be put in the last position.

Cao Shuoba pursed his mouth and continued to ponder.

He pondered here, Uncle Wu and Xiao Jianzi were obviously hungry, and while eating, he did not forget to tell Cao Shuo that he must save Cao Qingtian!

Uh, Cao Shuo is a little dizzy? You beg me? I'm a six-year-old, right? Or a baby? You're in a hurry to go to the doctor, aren't you?

Whew, looking at their appearance, Cao Shuo shook his head helplessly.

The Cao family is really eventful, help them exempt themselves from the involvement of the Empress Song case, help Cao Songguan reinstate, help the Cao family become a rich man, dare to love, and have to help Daddy Cao Cao pass this hurdle again, how do you feel, being Cao Cao's son, is so tired? You deserve what I owe the Cao family, right?

Cao Shuo shook his head, complaining is complaining, the solution is to crack... It's still going to be sought.

How do you get through this? Daddy Cao Cao's behavior a year ago doesn't give him face today, for an emperor, face is an untouchable dragon face!

But if you talk about it carefully, this Your Majesty, in his consciousness, seems to really have something more important than face, yes - money.

Yes, today's Son of Heaven was poor and afraid when he was young, and now he has the right, and he has fallen into the other extreme, the extreme of being crazy about "money", his character is like this - face is valuable, integrity is more valuable, if it is gold, both can be thrown...

Oh, going around and around, this thing still has to be simplified and go around the money...
