Chapter 248: The Choice of the Scholars
"My father sent troops to Huguan, who is in Yecheng?" Cao Pi asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info In fact, since he came to Youzhou, he has rarely received news from Yecheng, as if Cao Cao deliberately did not give him news, and Cao Pi did not care about this, although he can't fully guess Cao Cao's thoughts, but how much he also knows a little, it is nothing more than to use himself and Cao Chong to ease the contradiction between the royalists and the pro-Cao faction, so as to continuously increase his authority, as for why Sima Fu was able to get the news of Yecheng Cao Pi was also surprised, Hanoi County, where Sima is located, is not far from Yecheng, and Yecheng is now the center of the north, as the northern clan Sima clan, how can there be no industry in Yecheng?
"Lingshu Pavilion Hou Xun Gongda." Sima Fu said.
Xun Gongda is actually Xun You, who was originally a scholar in Shangshutai, and after the battle with Yuan Shao, Northern Cao Cao was listed as the Marquis of Lingshu Pavilion. Above all, this man was a royalist.
"Xun Gongda? Is the military and political package? There are no generals in Yecheng? Cao Pi asked.
"No, now there are only two thousand soldiers in Yecheng, and Xun Gongda is temporarily controlled." Sima Fu said.
"In this way, Zhang Liao and Brother Wenlie are going back." Cao Pi said with a smile, this is obvious, how can a city be guarded without military generals? Zhang Liao has infantry under his command, but it is not the Cao family's own people, Cao Xiu is a member of the Cao clan, and it is inevitable to return to Yecheng.
But now Cao Pi has dealt a heavy blow to the Wuhuan soldiers, with the troops in his hands and the war horses captured from the Wuhuan, it is enough to select a group of people from the cavalry troops that Cao Zhang did not choose to form a new cavalry, and attack again after a year of recuperation, and still be able to pacify Youzhou, the Wuhuan people without cavalry are nothing in Cao Pi's eyes, let alone the 20,000 troops of the Yuan family, so this news has little impact on Cao Pi.
I only heard Sima Fu continue: "Governor Mu, if Yecheng sends a letter to recall General Zhang, General Yu's thousands of people will naturally have to go back, so that our army will suddenly lose nearly 10,000 people, and General Zhang's garrison will also lose control, which is extremely unfavorable to Jingluyouzhou." ”
"This kind of influence is inevitable, I can only recuperate, with the help of the power of Xiannong, so that the grain production can be increased, and then forcibly move the people outside the Guanxi into Youzhou, enrich the household, and use the Han people to control the Hu people, the more people there are, the more land they need, and gradually they can bring the remote counties into control." Cao Pi said with a smile.
This is the only way Cao Pi can think of, in fact, his idea is simple and crude, cultivate Jia Ji to farm, and then send troops to attack Wuhuan and Yuan, if possible, go to Fuyu and Wofu to rob people, and then use the earth clan to enslave these alien races, reclaim the wasteland, and enrich the households in the land of Youzhou, even if it is a tenant, then let all counties and counties have people, if the remote county clan is unwilling to go, Cao Pi will let the Han small farmers and criminals take the foreigners to reclaim, and then send troops to maintain law and order, Cao Pi didn't believe that those Han people who had farmed all their lives didn't want to become a local clan with land and slaves.
Although this will lead to a surge in the power of the local gentry, and even a strong clan will appear in Youzhou, but now in the face of the current situation of the Han Dynasty, there is only one way to fight poison with poison, and for the trouble of the scholars, that is a matter to consider later.
Sima Fu said with a smile: "It turns out that the state pastor has already had a countermeasure, the Han people control the Hu people, this is a good prescription for passing through Youzhou, in fact, the Central Plains is in turmoil, many local clans are attacked by thieves, tenants rebel, the family is not as good as before, if the state pastor can really take a large number of Hu people as slaves, and Youzhou has a place of ointment, but it can attract many families in the Central Plains to relocate, after all, in the Central Plains many large clans are still this cultivated land for a living, now the Central Plains, Sili, Xuzhou's Tuntian production has increased greatly, and the price of grain is not as good as day by day, The taxes on the small farmers who paid taxes were constantly reduced, and many peasant households did not want to be slaves as long as they could eat enough to eat, so they went out to reclaim wasteland on their own, resulting in the loss of tenants of many large clans, but the imperial court decree protected these peasant households, and those major clans could only rely on firing utensils, making wine, and producing all kinds of goods to survive. If there are no good craftsmen and people who are good at management, there will be no profit at all, and those families with skilled craftsmen such as the Yingchuan Chen family are becoming more and more prosperous, and the people who sit on a large area of arable land are not as good as a year, if the state pastor is willing to open the door of convenience and give them a large piece of land and a group of slaves in Youzhou, they are naturally willing to come here, at least they can avoid the dilemma of selling land for money. ”
Cao Pi listened to Sima Fu's words and immediately understood, his own hybrid rice has led to a great increase in grain production, which has led to the prosperity of the production industry has begun, and the Chen family has begun to monopolize by selling their own wine and getting the recipe of burning knives, I believe that those families with thick foundations and many skilled craftsmen will slowly rely on handicrafts to form an industry oligopoly, the so-called local squires will be less and less in the Central Plains, but the remaining small number of squires will be larger and larger, the Central Plains has many people, and the population will increase faster after small farmers can live. The market for all kinds of daily necessities will also be bigger and bigger, and even the technology will be updated relatively quickly, and the skilled craftsmen have money and hurry, and the potential that can be stimulated is unlimited, after all, the family that can go far in the production industry is the most elite family in the Han Dynasty.
Those who relied on the cultivated land of their ancestors and all kinds of cultivated land obtained by small farmers by cunning and plundering will eventually be finished without the technical support of skilled craftsmen in the case of lower food prices, and their land production will be reduced to the production area of raw materials for big families like the Chen family, and they will be inferior in the biological chain, and they will even be annexed. But Youzhou is different, there are still many Hu people in Youzhou, and the big clan can ease their breath on the premise of coming to Youzhou and getting a large number of Hu people. Because the grain production increase in Youzhou has not yet begun, they can stabilize their families for a period of time after getting a large amount of land and Hu people, without facing the monopoly and merger of the emerging clans in the Central Plains.
Sima Fu's suggestion is indeed feasible, Cao Pi thinks. At the same time, Cao Pi looked up to Sima Fu again in his heart, so he said: "This plan is feasible, but ..... I don't know who to send to persuade those big clans in the Central Plains to move north, after all, they have fields and land there, and Youzhou is still a bitter cold land compared to the Central Plains, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win their trust. ”
"The Hanoi Sima clan is willing to move the clan to Youzhou first!" Sima Fu spoke.
"Oh? Is this true? Cao Pi asked unexpectedly. (To be continued.) )
