In December of the ninth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao launched a final attack on Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan retreated to Nanpi.

In the first month of the tenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao marched to Nanpi, Yuan Tan went to battle, Cao's soldiers were killed and wounded, and Cao Cao intended to postpone the attack. Guo Jia, the military advisor, persuaded Cao Cao: "Now that the army is deep, the grain and grass will be exhausted, and it will be difficult to last, so there must be advance and no retreat." If he retreats again, it will be delayed for another year, the lord has no time, the south is urgent, and if the north is not unified again, the lord will lose the hope of dominating the world. ”

Zhijin Wu Jia said: "The lord has already collected the data of the south, since he has decided to reform, it is time to delay, if it is not unified, there is a lot of resistance, please think twice!" ”

Cao Cao thought of his own situation, as well as the legendary genius, he couldn't help but boil his blood, personally beat the drums, commanded the soldiers to attack, and then defeated Yuan Tan and captured Nanpi.

In the first month of 205, Yuan Tan fled, Cao Cao ordered Xu Huang to pursue, Yuan Tan was cornered and killed by Cao's pursuers.

Yuan Tan died, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi fled to Gongsun Kang.

When Yuan Shao occupied the four states, there were still the annexation of the state and Youzhou were not peaceful, Liu Yu's old department occupied Youzhou, and Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan occupied the annexed state.

Cao Cao and Shu Youzhou, Youzhou was attached to Cao Cao, Gao Gan thought that he could not resist Cao Cao, and also asked for surrender, Cao Cao still left the original team to guard Youzhou and the state.

So far, Cao Cao has won the four states of Yuan Shao and shocked the world.

Cao Cao got four states, and the first thing was naturally Anmin, but this Anmin was carried out at the same time as another thing.

Due to Jia Xu's insistence, Guo Jia's affirmation, and after months of information collection, Cao Cao finally decided to persuade the civil and military forces to carry out internal political reforms.

But there are many conditions required for this to convince people, and of course, the most important of them is to present facts and data.

At the end of the first month, 62 people from Cao Cao's civil and military meetings were in Jizhou, and Jia Xu was invited to preside over it, supplemented by Guo Jia, to display facts and data.

Sixty-two civil and military, sit in six rows, the seats are like a ladder, step by step from front to back, there are Xun You, Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Wang Lang, Xu You, Zhong Xuan, Xu Huang, Cao Ren and other eleven people, sit down according to the official rank, next to each person is a stack of seventy or eighty centimeters thick books, and there are two stacks of fifty centimeters thick information, and the other side is a huge stack of newspapers.

In front of each of the sixty-two people, a long table was placed for consultation.

Cao Cao sat on the top, these people sat on the left side, and there were only two cases on the right, and Jia Xu and Guo Jia sat on the end.

Cao Cao's voice began, Jia Xu and Guo Jia stood up, saluted Cao Cao, and then saluted to sixty-two civil and martial arts.

Jia Xu was calm, and to be honest, he was a little nervous.

"Everyone, please open the file on the right-hand side, which records the population development of Chenhe Chamber of Commerce from 21 years ago, that is, from the sixth year of PS-CC to the ninth year of Jian'an, a total of 20 years, from the original family population of five people, to last year's control of the population of 12.87 million, almost every year there are detailed information. If you have any doubts, please check the newspapers next to it and each county, there is a problem in every issue, and there is no shortage of one issue. ”

So the sound of checking and looking at it was endless, and there were questioners in the middle, Guo Jia and Jia Xu answered them one by one, and stated the basis.

This one alone shocked sixty-two people to lie down, Cao Cao now has the land of four states, and the total population is only more than half of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce.

This one is half an hour, and then the number of various economic indicators, the process of site development, the number of railroad tracks and other infrastructure construction, which is very detailed, because these are reported in almost every issue of the Chenhe newspaper.

For example, how many new canals and how many kilometers will be built in Exian County this year, the newspapers will report on them when they are completed.

It is impossible to cheat, for more than ten years, once every ten days, so how difficult it is, everyone present does not think that there is such a ridiculous thing in the world.

When stating about the territory, everyone saw that Yang Xi actually exchanged a railroad track and coarse salt for a huge island, which was also bizarre.

When it came to the army, many people questioned it, first of all, the standing army of 180,000, which was already unacceptable, and as a result, I saw another article, 100,000 new recruits were recruited at the end of last year, what does this mean.

Speaking of this, even Xun Yu stood up and said: "Dare to ask Wenhe, 100,000 recruits at the end of this year, according to the speed of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, at the end of the first month, all 100,000 recruits should be trained, and the newspaper said that it was used to garrison the overseas Wuchang Strait. ”

Jia Xu said: "This point should have been explained from the later university article, but if the text asks, Xu will explain it first." Please open the textbooks of the new courses of the seven universities of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce last year, which is the book called. ”

One after another, everyone found a book called it, and when they opened it, there were some maps, divided into two parts: Chinese geography and world geography.

Jia Xu said: "It is said that this textbook has been obtained by tens of thousands of elites of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, from all over the Han Dynasty, overseas Fanbang, and various places for five years. Please look at the geography of China, there are 132 maps, covering the terrain of all the states and counties in the world, which is more detailed than any known map, and there are unexplored maps called Qinghai-Tibet and so on, which have been explored by the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce. If there is only one book in this book, it should be a treasure of the march, but now the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, printed in batches, and there is no concealment, the bookstore can buy this book, and it only costs one yuan of Chenhe money, which shows how open the culture is. ”

Jia Xu said, the sixty-two people on the other side were extremely serious, and there were exchanges of ears, some civilians, began to consult the generals, because in some places, they had not seen the original topographic map, after some exchanges, they were all amazed.

Yang Xi doesn't know how much work has been put into this geography, tens of thousands of people are a bit exaggerated, and there are 3,000 people, mainly to verify and modify the map of more than 1,000 years ago and the map of later generations that he can consult.

In fact, it is also a matter of some rivers being diverted and the size of lakes changing.

When looking at the world map again, Jia Xu continued to explain: "The second part, the world map, are you shocked, it is said that there are seven continents in the world, and my Han is only in the east of Asia among the seven continents, which is called East Asia. ”

Everyone looked at the map of the world, and their eyes were full of Venus, but fortunately no one drew this map into a map, and then rolled it up and docked on both sides, otherwise, they would find that the two ends of the map were connected and they actually matched.

Connected, the world is round.

Jia Xu continued: "Please see, the twelfth map of the world, here is thousands of miles down from Jiaozhou, Wuchang Island and Wuchang Strait, currently occupied by the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, from the map, known as the South Asian subcontinent on the continent, the formation of an Amir Empire, with a population of eight million, an army of 500,000, is a country of poor soldiers, and knows advanced technology such as shipbuilding, the recruits recruited by the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce are stationed in this strait. ”

Cao Cao is at the top, and he is also flipping through it, like a primary school student.

At this point, Cao Cao nodded and said: "This book, not only with pictures, but also about the climate, products, population, countries and other conditions of various places, can be called a strange book, if this book is really made by Yang Xi alone, it is worthy of being a genius." ”

Xun Yu said: "The Lord Gongwen Taowu is not inferior to him. ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "But there is no time, but since it is public what it has gained, if I follow Wenhe's words, Shiyi's long skills to improve myself, but I can also catch up, I have all the civil and military, work together, why worry about the uncertain world, Wenhe, please continue!" ”

Next, Jia Xu began to explain the achievements of internal affairs, schools, etc., and the discussion took three days, which is known as the northern countermeasures.

On the second day, Guo Jia began to explain, supplemented by Jia Xu, and on the third day, it was Jia Xu's turn.

After the seminar, Cao Cao announced that the reform had begun, and invited the Son of Heaven to set up two new official positions, Jia Xu was the reform order, and Guo Jia was the festival order.

The restructuring order is responsible for the reform of the system with full powers, and the festival order is responsible for docking with the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, and at all costs, purchasing or exchanging technology.
