"Bastard!!"

The Son of Heaven stood up angrily, looked at Cao Cao in front of him, and was furious, he slammed Cao Cao's recital on the case, and asked, "What do you want to do??" Are you slandering me or are you sarcastic?? Cao Cao said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this is also for the sake of the people, and it is definitely not his intention!" ”

"Huh!" , The Son of Heaven sneered, stared at Cao Cao, and asked, "What does this person Ding Dace have to do with me taking in concubines??" Don't you want me to contribute?? Having more children and increasing household registration?? The Son of Heaven said, shook his head again, and said helplessly: "From ancient times to the present, all famous ministers have persuaded the Son of Heaven to take fewer concubines and concentrate on state affairs. ”

"If the officials of the court and the central government find out, they must want to eat your meat!!"

"Your Majesty, even if the ministers don't do anything, they will want to kill me a long time ago, the ministers are dedicated to the country, they are dedicated to selfishness, and they contradict each other, and they are helpless." Cao Cao said, and then asked, "Your Majesty really refuses to listen to your ministers?" ”

"Nonsense, if you listen to you and wantonly Na'vi enter the palace, how should the long history order be recorded? What will the people of the world think of me? I don't want to become a faint monarch who is obsessed with women and ignores the government in the mouth of the people after a hundred years!! The Son of Heaven said unhappily, Cao Cao sighed helplessly, and said: "In this case, Your Majesty may be a marquis of the Cai family, promising a high position, and there is no need to grant too important official positions, as long as the people of the world see that Your Majesty pampers them..."

"You are Situ, if you don't care about so many things in the world, why can't you get along with me! Why did I do this? Do you know how much effort Emperor Xiaokang spent to eliminate those traitorous relatives?? You're going to lift them up again?? You received Cai Yong's money!! ”

"Your Majesty, this is also for the sake of the family and the country... Alas... Your Majesty refuses, then forget it... This person's great policy has been formulated, and His Majesty must have seen it, the relief house is now very huge, and the role it will play in the future must also be huge, and the minister has looked at many data such as people, arable land, copper and iron, trade and taxation in the past, and the minister found that the people are the most important, only the people are rich, everything can develop smoothly, and the relief government will definitely bear more in the future...."

"You want to expand the Relief House?"

"Yes, the minister wants to let the relief government separate from the Sikong Mansion, set up a Jimin Order, include it in Jiuqing, and put all the rest of the relief agencies under the jurisdiction of the relief government...", Cao Cao said what he thought in his heart, and added: "Your Majesty, in this way, the status of the relief government will rise, and the expansion is what it should be, the people will live better, the Han will be richer and stronger, and Your Majesty's merits will definitely be unprecedented, even Yao Shun is not as good as ....."

"Alright, alright, don't hold it... I understand what you say, but can this treasury support it? Just the people Ding Dace, Sikong complained a lot to me, if you want to help the people and make the people rich, at least let the treasury be able to afford the money of officials in various places. The Son of Heaven asked rhetorically, Cao Cao was also lucky, if he said to the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties that the newborn Mansion would be directly included in Jiuqing, he was afraid that he would be directly beaten out of the palace.

But in front of him happened to be a son of heaven who was keen on innovation and did not stick to the ancient law.

Hearing the Son of Heaven ask like this, Cao Cao grinned and said, "In this regard, the minister has a way, but Your Majesty has to wait for some time." ”

The Son of Heaven nodded and said, "No hurry... And you will rest for a few days..."

"Your Majesty, the minister is not tired!"

"You're not tired! Guo Jia was almost killed by you!! ”

..........

Cao Cao returned to the mansion, and before he entered the study, he saw Cao Zhang walking over with a smile, and when he saw Cao Cao, he asked with a smile, "Father is back?" These days, my father is also tired, so don't go to the study, go and rest, the child has long ordered the slaves and maids to make some meat..."

Cao Cao looked at the smiling Cao Zhang in front of him suspiciously, "You burned my study?" ”

"Huh? How could a child do such a thing? ”

"Then why don't you let me study?" Cao Cao asked, and rushed towards the study, Cao Zhang helplessly followed behind him, the two entered the study, the study was fine, and there was no trace of destruction, Cao Cao sat in front of the case, Cao Zhang hurriedly walked behind him, kneaded his shoulders for Cao Cao, and said: "Seeing my father working all day for state affairs, the child really can't bear it... It's heartbreaking that I can't help my father..."

"How much does it cost?"

"The kid doesn't ask for money!!"

"Then what do you want, just say it!"

Cao Zhang looked at Cao Cao and thought for a long time before he said, "The child wants to go to military school....", Cao Cao glanced at him and asked, "That's it?" ”

"Hmm."

"Then go ahead. . . Go to the military school, find the old general Huangfu, see if he accepts you, and don't mention my name! ”

"Thank you, Father!! Thank you Daddy!! Cao Zhang was very happy, he didn't expect Cao Cao to agree so quickly, Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "Then don't bother me anymore, go quickly, if they don't want you, I will send you to the Southern Army, as a soldier, it's still okay...", Cao Zhang heard this, he was not angry, and left happily, Cao Cao sat down, looked at several sheets in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

He told the Son of Heaven before that there is a way to solve the pressure of the relief government on the treasury, it is not nonsense, he has his own strategy, this is still a proposal given to him by a capable person, he has never forgotten this proposal, he has been thinking, perhaps, should go to that capable man, to listen to his advice, Cao Cao thought in his heart, and soon had attention, he hurriedly ordered the slave, prepare the carriage, and go out by himself.

The carriage and horses rushed all the way to the Sili Captain's Mansion, Cao Cao got out of the car, let the servants wait here, walked to the mansion, walked into the Sili Captain's Mansion, and immediately an official stepped forward, the official still didn't recognize Cao Cao, and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter with you?" Cao Cao said with a smile: "Can your school captain be in the mansion?" I am his old friend, and I have come to meet him. In recent years, many old people have come to visit the captain, and most of them have a grudge against the captain.

The officials didn't dare to speak, so Cao Cao said: "I am Situ Cao Cao." ”

The official hurriedly bowed, and then said, "The captain is in the inner courtyard." He asked Cao Cao to wait for a while, and went in to tell the captain, Cao Cao just waited for a while, and then saw Hua Xiong swaggering out, and when he saw Cao Cao, he smiled and said, "It turned out to be Cao Situ!" When the officials in the mansion heard this, they also got up one after another to meet Cao Cao, Cao Cao asked everyone to get up, and then went up to talk to Huaxiong.

"Hua Gong, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the court is not looking for me... I really miss it, so I came to the house to see you..."Cao Cao said, but Hua Xiong pulled him directly and walked into the study, the two sat down, Hua Xiong then said: "Cao Gong, it's not that I don't go to you, in the court, you are sitting too far forward, I have no way to get close...", Cao Cao was stunned, and did not ask again, and greeted Hua Xiong cordially.

"These days, I have been busy with the important affairs of Sili all day long, many county orders in the Sili area are still good, a few Yin are also sages, and the governance is very good, I have built a few post stations in Sili, and there are a few boat yards along the big river, I am ready to build here and build more boats...."Hua Xiong talked about his actions in these days, proud, and Cao Cao also praised a few words.

"Hua Gong, do you remember... In the past, when we went to conquer Kushan, the prince once said that the great families were divided into ranks, and in turn stipulated that they could own arable land, and the number of slaves should not exceed these..."

Hua Xiong thought for a moment, then remembered and said: "I remember, at that time, Cao Situ praised me for being a talented person in the country!" ”

"I don't know what Hua Jun thinks of this relief house?"

"The relief government is very good, although the relief given to the people is not much, it can keep them alive, especially in disaster years, and it will play a greater role... What does Situ ask for? ”

"On that day, Hua Gong's proposal, I am ready to implement it, divide the family by rank, stipulate the amount of cultivated land and people, and in addition, the relief house, I am ready to let the family do it!"

"Oh? Does Situ want them to contribute money and food? ”

"That's right, this level division can be carried out once every three years, divided by the fame and wealth of the family, etc., and the first-level family can be settled in the relief house, become Zuo Cheng, and be in charge of the relief of the people. After three years of re-election, those who fall in rank are eliminated, and those who rise will be admitted to the relief house.. I thought about it, as long as the temple praised those high-level families and helped them enhance their prestige, they would not object..."

"As for the relief house... They originally wanted to help the people and gain fame among the people, but the Son of Heaven did not allow it, this time, I gave them a righteous reason, to be able to help the people, they will definitely agree... If they really don't agree, then let the northern and southern armies come forward and continue to negotiate with them... If the pressure of money and food from the relief government can be transferred to the family, even if it is a part, the treasury will no longer be troubled by the relief..."

Cao Cao said, sighed again, and said: "But if I behave like this, Your Majesty doesn't know if I can agree, this policy is to restrict the cultivators of the big clans, but it can be regarded as support, helping these big clans, so that they can gain prestige among the people, this is a very dangerous thing, if it is a long time, the people remember their benevolence and righteousness, and the temples are not good to do to them, so I am still a little hesitant..."

"Is Situ afraid that the traitors will use the relief mansion to build fame, incite the people, and resist the temple?"

"That's it."

"This is difficult, but Duke Cao can go to the East Palace, among the ministers in the East Palace, there are many smart people, especially Kong Ming and Zhong Da, although they are also from a family, but if Situ goes to ask, they must have a way, and they will not hide their secrets... Although I am well-read, I haven't come up with a good way to deal with this matter..."Hua Xiong said, Cao Cao nodded, maybe it was the only way.

"That's right!" , Hua Xiong suddenly exclaimed.

Cao Cao's eyes widened and he looked at him.

"Cao Situ can go to these big families, find all the people who are most likely to obtain the highest family, Yuan, Xun, Sima, Yang these families, Situ will tell them the decree he wants to implement, and then ask them, how to prevent traitors from raising fame in the future, agitating the people, and resisting the temple...", Hua Xiong grinned, and said: "They will definitely have very good suggestions, definitely more practical than Zhongda them!! ”

"Hahahaha!!"

Cao Cao laughed.
