Chapter 50: Shooting the Bird in the Head (1)
"My lord, do you really plan to do this three chapters of the covenant?"
In troubled times, the powerful people everywhere are eager to exploit the people, even Cao Cao, who has always been known as a clean government, has not done less to increase donations and taxes, but Gongsun Ming actually dared to say that he would be exempted from taxes by half, and also declared that he would never increase taxes and taxes, which is obviously contrary to the world, at least in Zhao Yun's opinion, earlier in front of hundreds of people, he did not dare to say anything to get to the bottom of the matter, but he had to get off the horse in front of the gate of the Jixian County Guard's Mansion, Zhao Yun finally couldn't hold back, only to see him cautiously come to Gongsun Ming's side, and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, Brother Zilong should know, what a certain person says is the water that is spilled, how can there be a reason to break his promise and enrich himself. ”
Gongsun Ming looked back at Zhao Yun's worried face, and then smiled, and gave a clear and incomparably clear answer.
"The lord is wise, this is indeed good governance, but if the military supplies are insufficient, but I am afraid that the army's heart is turbulent, I really have to guard against it. ”
Since he was determined to assist Gongsun Ming in his career, Zhao Yun was very loyal, and although he strongly agreed with Gongsun Ming's measures to love the people, he couldn't help but feel a little at ease about the huge military spending.
"Brother Zilong doesn't have to worry, the matter of military expenditures has already been arranged, so let's say it, the third uncle is going to Yuyang County on business, and he is busy with this matter, and in two months, Brother Zilong will be able to find out. ”
Gongsun Ming did not tell the matter of the salt field in detail, not because he did not trust Zhao Yun, but because this matter was a long story, it was not good to talk about it in detail in front of the mansion, and he could only sell it ruthlessly.
"The Lord is wise. ”
Although he has only followed Gongsun Ming for more than a month, after seeing Gongsun Ming's brilliant tricks, Zhao Yun has no doubt about Gongsun Ming's ability, even if he doesn't understand what kind of medicine is sold in Gongsun Ming's gourd, he didn't ask any more questions, and after respectfully praising him, he retreated to the side......
"Gongsun Xiao'er is really full of pride, he really gave the old man a big problem, what do you think of the three chapters of the kid's covenant?"
Gongsun Ming's actions were very fast, and he was stationed in Youzhou for only one day, and then he issued an official document in the name of the former general temporarily leading Youzhou Mu, spreading all the cities under his jurisdiction. The people of Boer rejoiced, but also made the world's heroes look sideways, and Cao Cao was the most annoyed, and then he invited many of his advisers to the mansion, specifically to carry out urgent consultations on this matter, no other, Cao Cao in the pacification of Xuzhou, and turned his attention to Qingzhou, in order to prepare for the war, this has just been written to donate, as a result, Gongsun Ming came to such a law three chapters, stunned Cao Cao was caught off guard.
"Ming Gong, I think this move is just grandstanding, but I don't have to worry about it. ”
When it comes to important matters, the strategists didn't dare to speak easily for a while, but Chen Qun, who was unusually invited to attend the meeting because he had seen Gongsun Ming with his own eyes, did not have too many scruples, and the first one stood up and put forward his views aloud.
"Oh?"
Cao Cao also hoped that Gongsun Ming's move was a show, the problem was that the announcements in Youzhou had been pasted all over the cities under his jurisdiction, obviously not cheating, because of this, Cao Cao would suspect the confidence of Gongsun Ming's move, and now when he heard Chen Qun so easily, he came to a conclusion, although he did not directly reprimand, but a light voice was already clearly dissatisfied.
"Ming Gong, the second article of the three chapters of the covenant that Gongsun Xiaoer said, left and right is just picking up people's teeth and wisdom, copying what Gaozu said into Chang'an, the first and third articles are completely contradictory, as we all know, Youzhou is a land of a hundred battles, there is Zhang Yan in the west, Yuan Benchu in the south, Wuheng in the north, Gongsun Du in the east, in addition to Zhang Yan and his appearance, the rest are enemies, if you want to protect the territory and the people, you must expand the army, you must expand the army, you must have a large number of materials, according to the subordinates, if there are no 100,000 soldiers and horses, how to talk about protecting the territory and the people, today, the soldiers that can be called are only more than 40,000 heads, according to this, the gap is huge, to secluded, how can the extremely poor family in Boer be used, so I think that the reason why he dares to speak so loudly is just that he is forced to be helpless, and sooner or later he will go back on his word. ”
Chen Qunsu is good at governance, eloquence is good, and after some analysis, it can be said that he is meticulous, and he can hardly find any flaws, not only Cao Cao is stunned, but most of the heavyweight strategists such as Xun You are also happy.
"Ming Gong, please forgive Jia bluntly, this matter is probably not as simple as it seems on the surface, although the grandson is young, but it is not comparable to idle people, and his ambition is extremely high, I am afraid that he will not do anything that distrusts the people. ”
Seeing that Cao Cao seemed to agree with Chen Qunzhi's analysis, Guo Jiake didn't dare to remain silent anymore, and then interrupted from the side.
"Hmm...... Also, this fang has blatantly annexed Liu He's department, and his ambitions have been fully revealed, and he will not do anything to change the order, but where his confidence is, the old man can't figure it out. ”
Hearing Guo Jia say this, Cao Cao immediately remembered that he decided to use Liu He to test Gongsun Ming's mind, and he also felt that Gongsun Ming should not be reckless, but he couldn't guess where Gongsun Ming's hole cards were.
"Ming Gong Haihan, Jia also can't see the way of this person's calculation clearly, however, he can test his determination to maintain the three chapters, and maybe then he will know what his attitude is. ”
Although Guo Jia is Wang Zuozhi's talent, he is limited to his vision, and he can't calculate what Gongsun Ming's hole cards are, so all he can do is give a cautious proposal.
"Temptation......?
Although Cao Cao's territory is far away from Youzhou, after all, he has the advantage of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so naturally he has already taken advantage of this advantage to plant a hidden pile in Youzhou, and it is not difficult to make a tentative strategy, but whether it is worth using the hidden pile in advance is something that Cao Cao has to consider carefully......
"Bastard grandson, what does he want to do?"
Cao Cao was not the only one who was annoyed by Gongsun Ming's three chapters of the law, Yuan Shao, who had just led the army back to Yecheng not long ago, was also made angry by such three chapters of the law, and there was no side, in order to make up for the losses of the Northern Expedition, Yuan Shao had also just issued an order to increase donations.
Since the failure of the Northern Expedition, Yuan Shao's temper has become worse and worse day by day, even if he is a confidant and a minister, but anyone who goes against his will is not less scolded by him, because of this, at this time, when he saw Yuan Shao was obviously on fire, in order to prevent him from being burned, all the strategists were unwilling to speak in a hurry, and the hall was so quiet that it was strangely quiet......
