"Changwen, this time I want to bother you to go to Chang'an again and congratulate Xiuming." Puyang, Cao Cao's temporary mansion, looking at the list in his hand, Cao Cao sighed and said to Chen Qun beside him.

In fact, Zhong Xuan is more suitable than Chen Qun, but Cao Cao is not sure whether Ye Zhao will directly cut it when he sees Zhong Xuan, after all, he led the Huns to attack before, with Ye Zhao's attitude towards the Hu people, Zhong Xuan undoubtedly committed Ye Zhao's taboo, for Ye Zhao, Cao Cao still understands himself, sometimes he is shrewd like a ghost, but when he recognizes the reason for death, he can make people angry to death.

"Whoa!" Chen Qun bowed down and agreed, and then looked at Cao Cao with some doubts: "Lord, Ye Hou is now in Jinyang, this is going to Chang'an......"

Cao Cao smiled: "Xianbei has been destroyed, what is the use of Xiuming still staying in Jinyang?" Go, when Changwen goes to Chang'an, Xiu Ming should almost go back. ”

Chen Qun nodded and turned to leave.

Xun Yu silently closed a file, looked at Cao Cao and said: "Lord, Ye Zhao's momentum has been achieved, and the minister thinks that within five years, there will be a battle between our two sides, and the lord needs to prepare early." ”

Cao Cao nodded, it was time to prepare, looked at Xun Yu and said, "Before, I said that I would recruit more craftsmen and follow the example of Guanzhong, what does Wen Ruo think?" ”

The changes in Guanzhong over the years, Cao Cao's spies have found out about the same, and the changes brought by encouraging the development of industry to the world can be said to be obvious to all, not to mention anything else, Ye Zhao's flying boat flies around every day, and it is almost impossible to keep it secret from the outside world for a long time, and since Ye Zhao came out of the customs, the various changes brought about by the development of industry are almost obvious to all, as small as a farm tool, as large as siege equipment and flying boats, which Cao Cao can explore.

It is precisely because of the discovery of these things that Cao Cao wants to emulate Ye Zhaoxing Industry, and he mentioned it once before, and was resolutely resisted by many people.

Including Xun Yu, although the opposition is not so resolute, but also disapproves, but from Ye Zhao out of the customs, two years have passed, with those endless industrial achievements, Ye Zhao exterminated the Xiongnu, Guanzhong not only did not appear because of the war and chaos, but there is a great prosperity, in the past two years, Guanzhong almost every year bumper harvest.

This made many people red-eyed, and even many families openly scolded these strange skills and tricks, but secretly began to pay more attention to craftsmen, although because Ye Zhao focused on the importance of craftsmen from the beginning, so that most of the good craftsmen went to Guanzhong, and now there are not many people who can be recruited, but the dismantling of many utensils in Guanzhong has some effect, and the most is the farm tools.

As for weapons such as crossbows, sky-bombing cars, and ladders, it is strictly forbidden to leak them in the army, even if the battle is fought on the battlefield, these advanced equipment will definitely be counted and recovered, and once it is lost, it will be immediately blocked around for investigation and until it is found, so although Cao Cao tried his best to get some advanced weapons in the pass in the past two years, he has gained very little.

Not to mention the flying boat, which can go to the sky, it is impossible to get it, so the main research direction of Cao Cao's private equity craftsmen in the past two years is how to deal with those flying boats, and the existence of this thing really affects the balance too much.

Hearing this, Xun Yu was silent for a moment, then nodded, his nod this time not only represented Xun Yu's own attitude, but also represented the compromise and concession of the entire scholar class under Cao Cao.

Cao Cao saw Xun Yu nodding, but he was not too happy, sat on the Hu bed, turned his head to look at Xun Yu and said, "Wen Ruo, do you know that today's step, as early as Luoyang, Xiu Ming has already begun to plan?" ”

"What do you mean, my lord?" Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao puzzled.

Cao Cao raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the room, as if he was recalling something, and after a long time, he said leisurely: "Xiu Ming said back then, I was just a chess piece in his hand...... At the time, I was not convinced, and I didn't understand why he hurt people with these words, and now ...... Indeed, I understood. ”

Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao, did not speak, and waited for the following.

"Actually, I didn't know what Xiu Ming wanted?" Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and said with a smile: "Back then, by the hands of the first emperor, the implementation of printing technology can be said to shake the status of scholars. ”

For example, the number of readers has increased sharply today, and all kinds of books have emerged in endlessly, for the world, the impact is indeed great, at least now under Cao Cao, although the main officials are still controlled by the family, but extending to the grassroots level, the county officials and even the county orders are mostly from the cold door, it is precisely because Cao Cao vigorously supported these people that Cao Cao killed the border at the beginning, but the rebellion of the counties failed to shake Cao Cao's foundation, but was suppressed by Cao Cao in turn.

Because even if the Taishou in various places is a member of the family, almost all the grassroots officials are on Cao Cao's side, without the support of these grassroots officials, although the family is strong, it is powerless to create Cao Cao's rebellion.

Not only Cao Cao's side, but also Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Liu Biao...... In the whole world, except for Yuan Shu, who only looked at his background, after the leading effect of Li Dao and Guo Yan back then, basically the officials at the grassroots level were selected from those civilians who were studying, such as Lu Bu and Liu Bei were forced to do so, without these people, they would have no one to use, and they lacked sufficient talents, and the great princes such as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao deliberately limited the influence of the family in this way.

From this point of view, not only Cao Cao is Ye Zhao's pawn, but there are also a few princes in the world who are not, although Ye Zhao has not yet been out of the customs, his influence on Kanto is already very deep

Cao Cao did not stop, but continued: "Guanzhong Xinggong, division of fields, the results are remarkable, Wen Ruo also saw it, if we don't want to be pulled away by Xiuming, we can only learn from him, but in this way, it is bound to touch the interests of the scholars, even if they don't want to, they will be forced to move forward, and together with him, to suppress the entire scholar class, I, Ben Chu, and that Liu Bei, Liu Biao......"

Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, it was just that Xiuming was the enemy of the world's corporals, and at that time, whether it was me or Ben Chu, there were many people who suggested that we give up what we were doing at the time and go all out to attack Guanzhong, but it was not easy to talk about, but now, if we want to work together, I am afraid that Xiuming is helpless~ chess pieces...... Xiu Ming's game of chess, but it is a big spirit, unfortunately, how many years older than the idiot, but it took ten years to see its layout clearly, this world, no matter who loses and who wins in the end, Xiu Ming has actually won, his goal is still achieved. ”

Xun Yu was silent when he heard this, as the main member of a big family like the Xun family, Cao Cao pointed out the topic at this moment, Xun Yu knew what Cao Cao wanted, he wanted to use this to ask the scholars to make further compromises, he wanted to change, just as Ye Zhao hoped, but he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the pressure from the entire scholar class alone, so he hoped that Xun Yu could help him.

So, Xun Yu was silent, he fell into confusion for the first time, Cao Cao opened his heart to him, but Xun Yu preferred that he didn't know anything, Ye Zhao...... The weight of this name is too heavy, so heavy that Xun Yu feels like he can't breathe.

Cao Cao didn't say anything more, now as Ye Zhao's momentum grows louder and louder, if he doesn't change, it will only be a matter of time before he is finally eliminated by Ye Zhao.

Unlike Liu Bei, who only sees the surface situation, Cao Cao has been concerned about how Ye Zhao develops over the years, every step of Ye Zhao, Cao Cao is clear, and he finds Ye Zhao's real road from it, but this road, Ye Zhao can walk, but it is difficult for him Cao Cao to go, so he hopes that the scholars can compromise, not for him Cao Cao, but for the scholars themselves, after all, if Ye Zhao really enters the Central Plains, if it is still the current state, then the most injured is not him Cao Cao, but the entire scholar class.

Therefore, in fact, it should not be Cao Cao who is anxious now, but the entire scholar class, especially in the past two years, a large number of books that have been despised by scholars have been printed in Guanzhong, but they have been widely circulated among the people, and even with it, the people's views on Ye Zhao are gradually no longer affected by the scholar class, which is the horror of Ye Zhao.

If the scholars don't want to be oppressed by Ye Zhao, they must make concessions and compromises, so that he Cao Cao can let go of his hands and feet to reform the current rotten government and people's livelihood, if the scholars are not willing to compromise, then Cao Cao no matter how capable he is, he can't hold a wooden stick to fight with Ye Zhao who is armed with a crossbow and a sharp blade.

……

"So what? Cao Gong has already made his words very clear, what questions does Wen Ruo have? In Xun's house, Xun Yu returned home in a daze, discussed the matter with Guo Jia, and wanted to seek Guo Jia's opinion, but was pushed back by Guo Jia's words.

"What does Feng Xiao mean by this?" Xun Yu looked at Guo Jiadao suspiciously.

"If you don't understand it, you just don't want to understand it." Guo Jia sneered: "Since Wen Ruo asked, Na Jia will help Cao Gong make it clear that Cao Gong wants to follow the example of Guanzhong to reorganize the rule of officials, encourage industry and commerce, promote agriculture and mulberry, and even divide the land, and this will inevitably touch the interests of the family, and Cao Gong now does not want the matter of concession to happen again, so how to choose, Cao Gong will give this right to the scholars to choose." ”

"Divide the field? Is it going to be so? Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia and sighed.

"This is fundamental, Wen Ruo should know how Taiwei has today's momentum, and dividing the field is fundamental, without this, encouraging industry/commerce is just a joke." Guo Jia shook his head and said.

Guanzhong industry/commerce can rise, it is precisely because Ye Zhao gradually turned the field into official land, not allowed to be sold privately, so that the people can not worry about grain and grass, it is precisely because the people do not worry about eating and drinking, there will be today's industry/commerce, if this is not fundamental, the innovation is just a change of rules of the game for the scholar class, and it is impossible to stimulate the creativity of the people.

"Wen Ruo, I have been under house arrest by you for a year, don't you want to keep me here?" Seeing that Xun Yu fell into deep thought, Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu with some dissatisfaction.

"Then Feng Xiao is willing to be the lord?" Xun Yu looked at Guo Jiadao.

"Wen Ruo should know my character, since Wen Ruo has done this, I want Wen Ruo to know that my heart is not here, why force it?" Guo Jia sighed and said.

"Then Fengxiao still stays in Xunfu, you and I comment on the world, it's not bad." Xun Yu smiled and turned around to leave.

"Okay, just follow Wenruo's words."

"Feng Xiao is afraid that at the moment, he only thinks about finding a gap and leaving as soon as he gets out of trouble, right?" Xun Yu sighed, shook his head silently, and turned to leave.

Guo Jia: "......"
