Chapter 479: Cloud Movement (6)

What's going on today?

All the issues seem to be related to Cao Peng!

Xun Yu took out a few volumes of official documents and presented them to Cao Cao, "This is the report I just received from Hexi County, Youxue wants to implement the military system of integrating soldiers and farmers, soldiers and herdsmen in Hexi, and named it Fubing." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAccording to the current situation of the five towns in Hexi, this government soldier is just right. However, changing the military system without authorization is a matter of great importance, and Youxue seems to be a little hesitant. Therefore, he wrote a letter requesting that it be implemented in Hexi...... I didn't dare to make a decision on this matter, so I had to ask Sikong to decide. ”

The government military system?

Cao Cao frowned, and also felt a little embarrassed.

This military system is a charter that has been formulated since the Han Dynasty, and it cannot be changed casually.

If it is not corrected well, it is likely to cause serious consequences.

As Xun Yu said, this is not a trivial matter! But the question is, why did Cao Peng change the military system? There's something weird about it...... If he is ambitious, it seems that such a thing as changing the military system should be carried out secretly in private; If he has no ambitions, why did he implement this military system in Hexi?

The implementation of the government military system in Hexi is not a big problem.

In fact, even though Hexi is now an independent county, many people have the impression that it does not seem to exist. Hexi, which has always been considered to be a wild place. If it weren't for Cao Peng's initiative to ask, I'm afraid even Cao Cao wouldn't have paid attention to this place. In a place where no one is paying attention, the introduction of a new military system is not a big deal. What Cao Cao was puzzled about was not that there was anything wrong with the military system designed by Cao Peng, but that he had the purpose.

Not in a hurry to see the content of the military system, he raised his head and asked, "Is there anything else?"

If it's all about friendship, then tell it all together, don't let me bother to guess anymore, this kid ......"

Xun Yu said: "There is another thing, which is also about friendship. ”

As he spoke, he handed over another official document and said with a wry smile: "When I come into contact with Youxue, I always feel as if I am old. His ideas were so hard for me to keep up. I have been thinking about this report for a long time, although I have not felt the intention of Youxue, but I can faintly feel that it is not simple, and Youxue seems to have a bigger idea. ”

"It's really rare to be able to make Wen Ruo helpless."

As Cao Cao's chief mastermind...... That's right, it's the mastermind.

In history, among Cao Cao's five major masterminds, if the most important thing is not Guo Jia, not Jia Xu, or even Cheng Yu, who supported him first and has always unswervingly supported Cao Cao, but the seemingly weak man in front of him.

Xun Yu rarely had military affairs, and the most exciting battle was probably the battle of Puyang in the first year of Xingping, resisting Lu Bu.

It is said that Zhuge Liang's empty city plan actually originated from Xun Yu's Battle of Puyang.

And Zhuge Liang has never used such a strategy in his life. This seems to be more in line with Zhuge Liang's own personality, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall! Even in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang was forced to use the empty city plan. But after all, it's apocryphal. The person who really uses the empty city plan is none other than Xun Yu, a man with an extremely strong heart......

After the Battle of Puyang, Xun Yu gradually shifted from military affairs to internal affairs.

When Cao Cao conquered the world, Xun Yu often sat in the rear and allocated money and grain to ensure that Cao Cao's grain route would not be cut off.

This is a figure similar to Xiao He, although he has been oscillating between the Han and Wei dynasties, he is Cao Cao's most trusted adviser.

Now, even Xun Yu feels embarrassed, which also makes Cao Cao a little interested.

He opened the document and read it carefully.

After a moment, he couldn't help frowning, revealing a hint of confusion...... The content of this official document is actually very simple: Cao Peng decided to release his share of the silver building and ask Sikong Mansion to take over the affairs of the silver building.

On the basis of maintaining the original business, Cao Peng implored Cao Cao to strengthen currency management.

In the official document, Cao Peng once again expounded the truth of monetary value. He also said that this currency is the face and dignity of the imperial court, and it is a major event in the people's livelihood. After Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, the first thing he did was to unify the currency to facilitate the circulation of goods...... Therefore, this currency is the important weapon of the country, and it must be controlled and regulated by the imperial court!

The central meaning of the song is to ask Cao Cao to change the current situation of monetary chaos in the market.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the court, the currency became chaotic. There was the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which caused the rise of the princes and the power to mint coins; Later, Dong Zhuo's rebellion and the wanton distribution of unpaid money caused further chaos in the currency market, with rising prices and inflation occurring repeatedly. So far, there are many private coins in various places, and the country's fiscal revenue is becoming less and less. Cao Peng's meaning is to carry out unified management of currency through the silver building.

Minted, circulated, and borrowed from the silver building.

In this way, the economic and financial rights of various localities can be slowly gathered......

Cao Peng did not come from an economic background, and the content of the song was also formulated after repeated discussions with many people. Although it adapts to the characteristics of this era to the greatest extent possible, it is inevitably a little jerky and confusing to read.

Cao Cao watched it three times in a row before he roughly understood what Cao Peng meant.

Again, this is a very headache!

Since Cao Cao took control of the court, he also attached great importance to the issue of currency. After years of hard work, the price of goods in Yuzhou and other places, from a liter of hundreds of dollars to more than 100 yuan today, is also controlled through currency adjustment, with good money and eliminating bad money. However, he can eliminate bad money with good money, and the princes can also fight against it by eliminating good money with bad money. As a result, the currency becomes very chaotic, and the market is flooded with both good and bad money.

Fortunately, most of the current actions of the princes are unconsciously self-adjusted, not consciously eliminated.

Otherwise, the pressure on Cao Cao will inevitably be huge.

It was the first time that Cao Peng had put forward the monetary function separately, which undoubtedly made Cao Cao suddenly open up and seemed to open a window.

He looked up at Xun Yu, but saw Xun Yu nodding.

That means that it's not impossible to try......

Changing the currency system is also a complex and slow process, which requires the overall planning and arrangement of all aspects, and it is by no means achieved overnight.

"What does Wen Ruo think?"

"It still needs to be thought through!"

"In that case, I'll leave the matter to you.

Well, you go back and talk to Changwen and tell him that the court wants to take back his share of the silver building to see if he is willing. This matter was originally initiated by Changwen and Youxue, and Changwen was temporarily appointed as Shangshu, Sikong Peng, and participated in the military...... Wen Ruo, do you want to recall Youxue and let him participate in this matter? ”

"This ......"

When Xun Yu heard this, he hesitated, but still shook his head and objected.

"The war in Liangzhou has not yet subsided.

Ma Teng's hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff, may not be willing to stop there. I thought that after autumn at the latest, Ma Teng would start a war and seek greater benefits. After all, if he loses his martial power and his foundation is destroyed, how can he swallow his anger?

Youxue initially decided to be martial arts, and if you change people at this time, I am afraid that it may not be able to deter the northwest...... Moreover, Youxue had already reported before, and he should have gone to Dichi now to meet with Su Wenshi to discuss the affairs of the Western Regions. If he is recalled now, Su Wenshi will definitely have other ideas, wouldn't it be a waste of his previous efforts? I thought that Ma Teng was immortal, and he could not make his friends return. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded again and again to express his praise.

"What Wen Ruo said, it is also my heart, it is just a joke."

He thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "In this case, I was a little stingy with Hexi for ten years before...... Youxue has suffered a lot of losses this time, and the credit is huge. In this way, the tax reduction and exemption of Hexi for 20 years is a reward. ”

Twenty years, it sounds like a good deal.

But in reality?

But it's a blank check.

Who knows what Hexi will look like twenty years from now?

At least in Cao Cao's current thoughts, Hexi is still a poor and white place, a wild place. There is a place where the Xiongnu and Xianbei are in the north, and it is a place where wars are frequent. What is the state of taxation in 20 years? I'm afraid no one can say for sure.

Xun Yu and Cao Cao discussed for a while before taking their leave.

And Guo Jia didn't make a sound, just sat quietly on the side, holding the note about the currency, and checking it over and over again. A strange glint flashed in his eyes, and he secretly nodded his head in praise......

"Bonghyo, what do you think about this?"

Guo Jia raised his head, revealing a look of doubt.

"I mean, you learn to change the military system, and talk about the currency system."

Guo Jia couldn't help but smile, "If the military system is changed, who will be beneficial?" ”

"Huh?"

"And when it spreads, who will bear the reproach?"

Cao Cao was stunned, and then suddenly realized.

The change of military system will further weaken the influence of the Han family, thereby strengthening Cao Cao's own control over the army and the court.

And those who propose to change the military system will definitely encounter the attack of those clear streams.

Cao Peng proposed to revise the military system, and it was Cao Cao who ultimately benefited, and he would bear most of the infamy for Cao Cao......

Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

"Then the currency system ......?"

"Friends learn from the words, bad money eliminates good money.

I can roughly guess what he really meant. I want to come to you to learn this song, and I clearly say that the currency system is really a certain Bashu. He wants the lord to take control of this ...... Oh, the monetary function, I'm afraid, is that he launched an attack on Bashu. ”

Cao Cao's thin eyes couldn't help but narrow into a line.

After a while, he suddenly said: "Fengxiao, you go to Wen Ruo now and tell him that it is best to let Ah Fu recommend the candidate for Wuwei Zhangye official." After all, he is now in the northwest, and I am afraid that he is more familiar with the local situation. ”

Cao Cao inadvertently changed his name for Cao Peng.

From calling Cao Peng's words, he resumed his previous name, and directly called Cao Peng's name.

This is also a change in mentality, indicating that Cao Cao's vigilance towards Cao Peng has decreased a lot. Guo Jia hurriedly surrendered his hand, but secretly said in his heart: Ah Fu, Ah Fu, I hope you are dedicated to the public, otherwise you will really live up to my painstaking persuasion...... No, I have to talk to my uncle and grandson when I go back, and let Ah Fu Shao stir up the storm in Liangzhou.

Guo Jia, as early as when he identified with Deng Ji, regarded Cao Peng as his own.

He knew Cao Cao's thoughts very well, and he also knew Cao Cao, so he had some concerns about Cao Peng. Therefore, he never spoke for Cao Peng on the surface, but secretly, he was quiet to weaken Cao Cao's suspicion of Cao Peng.

So far, he's been successful.

It's just that can Cao Cao's concerns about Cao Peng be completely dispelled?

Cao Peng himself is also needed to prove it to Cao Cao! Today's two notes are really just right......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

August and autumn are the seasons of high and crisp autumn.

The weak water located in Zhangye County is turbulent and rushing. This weak water, which comes from Heli Mountain, is a major river under the rule of Zhangye County. As early as in "Shangshu-Yu Gong", it was recorded. In "Journey to the West", one of the four famous novels of later generations, there is a place called Liusha River. And this quicksand river is also from weak water......

Cao Peng was invited by Jiuquan Taishou Su Ze to lead the white camel soldiers, and after crossing the weak water in August, he came to Dichi.

Su Ze was already waiting in Dichi, and after seeing Cao Peng, he was also very enthusiastic, and held a banquet in the county party that night.

This Su Ze, a writer of the table, is a native of Fufeng Wugong County.

He was rarely known for his knowledge and talent, so he was recommended as filial piety, and later as Maocai. In the first year of Xingping, he served as the Taishou of Jiuquan until now. Su Ze in history also started in Jiuquan, and later successively served as a stable and military capital Taishou, and the place he ruled had a prestige. When Cao Cao conquered Hanzhong, he passed through Wudu, and was very happy to see Su Zehou, and ordered him to guide the soldiers and horses, attack Hanzhong, and break Zhang Lu. Then he ordered Su Ze to pass through the west road of the river and guard it for entering the city. This Su Zewai has been gentle in the way, recruiting Qianghu, after getting his cattle and sheep, raising the lonely and elderly, and sharing food with the people. In less than ten months, all the displaced people in Liangzhou returned, and thousands of households were obtained, making Jincheng a great rule.

After Longxi rebelled, Su Ze led Qianghu to besiege, and all the rebels surrendered.

After Cao ***, Su Zeyou quelled the rebellion of Kojiyan, was named the captain of Huqiang, and gave him the title of Marquis of Guannei......

During Su Ze's lifetime, most of them were in Liangzhou, and he had pacified countless rebellions, and his reputation in Liangzhou was extremely loud.

After Cao Pi ascended the throne, he once commented that Su Ze was a direct minister.

In the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Su Ze was also passed on independently, calling him: Wei Yi quelled the chaos, was proficient in political affairs, and was upright and upright, and was known as a strong man.

It's just that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Su Ze did not appear.

Therefore, Cao Peng has no impression of Su Ze.

Su is a standard Guanzhong man, tall and strong.

Imagine, in Jiuquan, a place where Qiang Hu is rampant, the environment is difficult, if you don't have a good body, how can you do great things? His speech is also quite straightforward with the Northwest Han, without the slightest twist...... After a wine banquet, Cao Peng had a good impression of Su Ze. As for Su Ze, he also secretly praised Cao Peng.

He invited Cao Peng this time, first, to confirm the matter of Zhangye County.

Zou Qi was killed, and Zhang Ye was left without an owner. According to the agreement between Su Ze and Cao Peng, Cao Peng only went to Rile County, and the soldiers were not weak. The rest of the counties are governed by Su Ze. For Su Ze, this is not a big deal. He just wanted to confirm what Cao Peng's plan was. Faintly, he could sense Cao Peng's attention to the Hexi Corridor. And Su Ze has been in Jiuquan for a long time and knows the Western Regions very well, so he wants to exchange ideas with Cao Peng.

And this second point, Su wants to figure out Cao Peng's next plan.

"The general wants to open the Hexi trade route, and Jincheng is bound to win.

Jincheng is not governed, and the Hexi trade road is restless. I know Gongzi Hexi County, but it is not enough to open the door to the Western Regions. ”

In other words, to open the Silk Road and give full play to the advantages of the Hexi Corridor, Jincheng County is extremely important.

Cao Peng also agrees with Su Ze's point of view. Hexi County alone cannot fully exploit the advantages of the Hexi Corridor. Only by completely controlling Liangzhou and connecting Sili with the Hexi Corridor can the Silk Road be reproduced.

However, it is not easy to connect Sili and the Hexi Corridor into one.

Cao Peng and Su Ze had a good conversation, but when they returned to their residence, they fell into deep thought...... Jincheng County, Ma Teng? He wrote the five words on the paper, his fingers tapping sharply on the table. It looks like it's time to duel it out with Ma Teng!
