Luoyang City Gate.

The people of the black oppression gathered around the notices posted next to the city gates.

"Master Jun, what is written on this?"

An old man with gray hair asked curiously.

The soldier who was in charge of guarding the city gate next to him said with a smile,

"Old man, don't call me military master, I can't afford to call me this name."

"If we hear it, I'll be in trouble."

"The notice says that anyone who has no land can apply to the government."

"The government will provide you with seeds, farm tools, and cattle for free, so that you can open up the wasteland."

"But the land that has been cleared belongs to the imperial court."

"You only have the right to use it in perpetuity, and you can't trade or sell it."

After listening to the soldier's explanation, everyone immediately discussed.

"Free seeds, farm implements and cattle? How can there be such a good thing? ”

"But the reclaimed land doesn't belong to us, so what are we busy with?"

"Hey, aren't you stupid? The military master has said that you have the right to use it forever, but you can't trade it, so it is equivalent to belonging to you forever? ”

"When you say that, it seems really good."

"That's pretty good."

The old man hesitated and asked the soldier,

"Is this true? The court won't lie to us, right? ”

"How could the court lie to you? This was a decree issued by the Master himself. ”

The soldier said seriously.

"Ah, it's actually a decree issued by Master Taishi."

"That's definitely right, Master Taishi never lied to us."

"Let's go, go to the government to get something, let's go to the wasteland."

Everyone greeted each other and walked towards the official mansion lively.

Not far away, Cao Cao, Yang Zhan, Huang Wan and others took all this into their eyes.

"What is this Huaxiong planning?"

Yang Zan frowned and said softly.

Although Cao Cao didn't speak, his face was also solemn.

They didn't know what Hua Xiong was planning to do when he suddenly made such a play.

"Gong Cao, why don't you go and ask Wen Ruo?"

Huang Wan asked tentatively,

"After all, he is in the cabinet, and he is better informed than we are."

"Okay."

Cao Cao agreed.

But I was a little worried in my heart.

Since Xun Yu entered the cabinet, the two of them have rarely interacted.

Cao Cao visited several times, but he didn't see Xun Yu.

I don't know if Xun Yu is really busy, or if he deliberately avoided him.

After Cao Cao waved goodbye to Yang Zan and them, he took Cao Ren, Dian Wei and others to Xun Yu's mansion.

This time, Xun Yu happened to be there, and the two were able to meet.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, Wen Ruo, you are becoming more and more outstanding."

Cao Cao said with a smile.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Cao Cao explained his intentions.

"Wen Ruo, what is the intention of the Taishi to allow the people to reclaim wasteland on a large scale this time?"

Hua Xiong's purpose in doing this is, of course, to suppress the elite class.

But Xun Yu can't say that.

He thought for a moment and smiled,

"Master Taishi's move is nothing more than to benefit the people."

Cao Cao frowned and said softly,

"If he does this, it will harm our interests!"

Cao Cao and the other magnates, the least of them, also have hundreds of acres of farmland in their hands.

With the help of these farmlands, they can attract people and drive up the price of food.

Huaxiong, on the other hand, allowed the people to reclaim wasteland on a large scale.

In this way, Cao Cao's interests will also be damaged.

"But for the people, it's a real benefit!"

Xun Yu was a little angry.

He felt that Cao Cao was too selfish and only considered personal interests.

"Wen Ruo, when you say that, you choose to support Huaxiong?"

Cao Cao said unhappily.

"I'm just supporting the good of the country and the people."

Xun Yu said lightly.

Cao Cao never expected that Xun Yu had only joined the cabinet for a few days, and he fell to Huaxiong!

Looking at Xun Yu with an expressionless face, Cao Cao held back a fire in his heart.

"Since that's the case, then Cao will retire!"

Cao Cao waved his hand, turned around and walked away.

Xun Yu looked at his departing back and sighed helplessly.

In the past, he thought that Cao Cao was the master, but in recent years, he has come into contact with Hua Xiong.

He discovered that Hua Xiong's ideological realm and level of governance did not know how higher than Cao Cao!

Cao Cao still cares about these petty profits.

But Hua Xiong has already set his sights on the entire people of the world.

After such a comparison between the two, Xun Yu found out that Hua Xiong is more worthy of following than Cao Cao!

……

Cao Cao left Xun Yu's house and returned to his house in a huff.

Yang Zhan: They are waiting for news.

As soon as he saw him return, he hurriedly greeted him,

"Cao Gong, what's wrong?"

Cao Cao said what had just happened, and said angrily,

"We really misread Xun Yu, I didn't expect this guy to be a villain who sees the wind and rudder!"

Several others also chimed in,

"yes, I really think highly of him!"

"The face of the Yingchuan Xun family has made him lose everything."

Everyone despised Xun Yu.

But then Yang Zan smiled bitterly,

"Gong Cao, we're in trouble."

Cao Cao was slightly stunned, "What's wrong?" ”

"Those wealthy families who follow us...... They also went to the government to apply for the reclamation of wasteland. ”

Everyone present was taken aback.

Especially Cao Cao, his heart suddenly sank.

You know, even if the wasteland is reclaimed, it belongs to the imperial court.

The Imperial Court can recycle them at any time.

If you want to keep your land, you must submit to the rule of the imperial court.

In this way, those wealthy families and the elite class are equivalent to standing on the side of the imperial court.

The reason why Cao Cao and them had the courage to dare to oppose Hua Xiong.

It is these elites who rely on it.

But now that there are no such people, what are they going to do to fight Hua Xiong?

"Cao Gong, how can I do it now?"

"You're going to think of a way!"

Huang Wan and Shi Sun Rui panicked.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said with a smile,

"Don't worry, it's not an easy task to open up the wasteland, and if you want to see results, at least until next autumn."

"We have time, and this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

Under Cao Cao's appeasement, Yang Zan and the others left with concerns.

After they were gone, Cao Cao finally let go of all his disguises.

He slowly sat down against the back of his chair, his face full of sadness.

Xiahoudun and Cao Ren next to them saw it in their eyes and couldn't help but ask,

"Cao Gong, why are you worried?"

Cao Cao smiled bitterly, "Of course it's because of Huaxiong!" ”

"But didn't you just say that reclamation is not an easy task, let's discuss it slowly."

Xiahoudun comforted.

"That's just me placating them." Cao Cao sighed helplessly, "I sent someone to inquire today, and this reclamation was led by Huaxiong. ”

"The farming tools he provided were even better than the ones he had before."

"You don't have to wait until the autumn of the next year, maybe until the beginning of spring, and the reclamation activities will be over."

"At that time, those powerful families, for their own interests, will definitely stand on Huaxiong's side."

"I'm afraid it will be our death when the time comes!"
