Yecheng, now the economy is also developing rapidly, which makes Cao Cao very pleased.
Sima Yi is now the prime minister's bookkeeper, and Cao Cao gradually noticed that Sima Yi had heroic ambitions, and found that he had a "wolf look", and he was very taboo in his heart.
Therefore, Cao Cao said to Cao Pi, Sima Yi is not a person who is willing to be a subordinate, and he will definitely interfere in the family affairs of my Cao family.
Cao Pi and Sima Yi had a good relationship, and after several times of protection, Sima Yi was able to do nothing, so Sima Yi was diligent in his duties, forgot to sleep and eat, and then calmed Cao Cao's heart.
But Sima Yi is far from being as calm as he seems.
Of course, at this time, Sima Yi did not have any ambition to seize the power of the Cao family, if people must have dreams, Sima Yi could not even dream of seizing the power of the Cao family at this time.
He hasn't reached that perspective yet, and he can't have that kind of thinking.
But he knew the layout, the layout of a situation that would allow the Sima family to gain more power in this era.
Therefore, he suggested that his younger brothers secretly join Chenhe District, and with their talents, they will start from the bottom and will definitely be able to make some achievements.
At that time, whether the Cao family unified the world or the south defeated the north, Sima was invincible.
But Sima Yi never expected that such a major event would happen when the development was at its smoothest.
Judging from the news sent back, the fourth brother Sima Kui and the fifth brother Sima Sui are afraid that their careers in this life have been basically cut off.
Sima Kui was imprisoned for 20 years, Sima Sui was imprisoned for 10 years, and after he came out, the golden age of his life has passed, and the key is that if he has a stain on his life, where can he still engage in politics.
"The fourth brother is still too impatient, Yang Chenhe is tolerant of the world, if the fourth brother follows the normal rules and operates carefully, he will be able to achieve something. The past of the Guanchenhe Chamber of Commerce, the position of governor and minister in the future must also be taken by the will of the people, and the fourth brother has the opportunity to enter the center, but unfortunately he has been cut off from the future. Sima Yi muttered to himself.
"The Chenhe Chamber of Commerce seems to be loose, but in fact, it is becoming more and more solidified day by day, and if it goes on like this, the foundation is becoming more and more solid and unshakable."
Sima Yi thought about it and felt that there was no way to do it for the time being, so he put the matter aside for the time being, and stabilized himself first before talking about anything else.

Since ancient times, there has been a terrifying name in the north, and this name is Xiongnu.
At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a large number of Xiongnu entered the Senei. After the Xiongnu, serious natural disasters occurred in the country, and most of the people and animals died of hunger. The ruling class is divided by the struggle for power and profit.
In 48 years, the eight tribes of the Xiongnu jointly established the grandson of the Huhan evil Shan Yu to chase the king as a single Yu, and the Punu Shan Yu fought against each other, and the Xiongnu was divided into two parts. The day after tomorrow, more than 40,000 people went south to attach the Han Dynasty and called the ministers called the Southern Xiongnu, and settled in the Hetao.
And those who stayed in Mobei were called Northern Xiongnu.
The Northern Xiongnu moved westward after being defeated by the Han Dynasty army, and later became the Huns who invaded Europe. The Northern Xiongnu went far into Europe, partly in the Caucasus, partly in the Middle Volga region, partly on the Danube. The Xiongnu of Central Asia, partly integrated with the lowlands of Turan (Central Asia), partly in the mountains of Afghanistan, and partly in the Indian state of Punjab, i.e. the White Xiongnu.
The Xiongnu in the Don and Danube valleys, based in the steppes of South Russia, waged war against the Roman Empire, which was one of the main reasons for the eventual demise of the Roman Empire.
But today, the steppes of South Russia suddenly came from the north with an unusually powerful army, and the Zov Roman Empire in the west was also unreasonably powerful, and the Huns were defeated in the smoke of muskets with primitive horse warfare.
There is no way, the Huns feel that it is better to be a big man, and the big Han has no muskets.
So the Huns moved along the northern border of the Anxi Empire and all the way east, all the way to the banks of the Yili River.
This is a big problem, the Xiongnu entered Lake Balkhash and entered the northern border of the Western Regions of Ma Chao.
So Ma Chao ordered Zhou Budo to continue to sit in the Western Regions Wangcheng, and Ma Chao led his own army and went north out of the Tianshan Mountains to fight the Xiongnu.
Before leaving, Zhou Budo offered Ma Chao and said: "Today, the king Liuma Tie General sits in the national capital, and the center is peaceful, and the people who are lacking are the population." After the arrival of the king, please do less damage and plunder as many people as possible. ”
Ma Chao now admires Zhou Budo so much that he has even produced the steel mill and gunpowder guns for himself, and now his strength has changed dramatically.
If it weren't for Zhou Budo's suggestion not to return to Liangzhou for the time being, he was only afraid that he would have already led the army into the Yumen Pass and then fight Cao Cao.
Ma Chao led an army of 50,000 to attack the north, and Zhou Budo really spared no effort to develop the rear.
Wusun country to the west of the hundred miles, southwest of Lake Balkhash, for the Kangju country, one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, since Ma Chao defeated Wusun, Kangju country will be directly obedient, and recognize Ma Chao's status as the lord.
Kangju has a population of only 30,000 or 40,000, the same species as the Dayue clan, and the west is adjacent to the Anxi Empire.
King Kangju was killed, and the rest were used as slaves, and the Xiongnu were ready to occupy this place as a base and then try to develop.
Taking advantage of Ma Chao's northern expedition, Zhou Budo passed on the situation in the north to Chenhe City, and Yang Xi received the situation and immediately gave deployment suggestions.
Yang Xi suggested that all the Kangju population should be relocated from the mainland and moved to Chigu City in the Tianshan Mountains, which was the capital of the former Wusun Kingdom.
Yang Xi wants to carry out the clear of the wilderness, such a huge area, once other countries attack, there is no way to rescue, and it cannot be developed.
And Yang Xi suggested that Zhou Budo could let Ma Chao go west and go north, constantly plunder the population, tame assimilation, and develop rapidly. The letter emphatically reads, "Save the land and lose people, people and land are lost, people and land are lost, people and land are saved!" "Sixteen words. This is the policy that Yang Xi has always implemented.
With Ma Chao and Pang De here, and Zhou Budo in charge, the Huns are not a problem, they are just here to send labor.
The Xiongnu reappeared in the Western Regions, and what Yang Xi thought of was that the wolf was coming. This wolf is not a Huns, he must be more ruthless than the Huns.
Regardless of whether the wolf comes or not, Yang Xi can do it, this is already the most.
He is busy supervising the highway project from Yiling to Zigui at the moment.
The project of 300,000 people, which dynasty it is placed in, is not a trivial matter.
From Yiling to Zigui, the straight-line distance is 40 kilometers, but from Yiling to the north, you have to bypass many valleys, and when you encounter continuous mountains, you have to take the S-shaped winding mountain up, which is calculated to reach a length of 200 kilometers.
But even 200 kilometers can't sustain the enthusiasm of 300,000 people.
Yang Xi ordered Lai Pi, the governor of Nan County, to set up a cement factory directly in Yiling, and set up a gravel yard in a convenient place in various townships along the way.
With this road, the transportation of materials and grain is already extremely convenient.
In only four months, Yang Xi has built dozens of kilometers of roads in Yiling, and the small pedal tricycles on the roads have become the main force for material transportation.
Yang Xi personally participated in the labor, shirtless, and even taught the workers and soldiers to sing the labor trumpet. The construction site stretched for more than ten kilometers, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
When entering the mountainous area, the winding mountain road is in the form of a ladder, stretches to the top of the mountain, and the twists and turns add up to one or two miles long, but the people who work up and down are only a few zhang apart, this kind of construction wonder should appear more than a thousand years later, but it has become the norm at this time.
The spies in Shuzhong reported the construction situation to Liu Bei, and Shuzhong was shocked.
This Yang Xi actually came to the real thing.
Liu Bei gathered to discuss countermeasures, and most of the surrenderers under Liu Zhang's account suggested peace.
Some senior generals in the army advocate taking the initiative to attack, at least to engage in some sabotage.
