Chapter 376: Building a Branch School, Is It a Blessing or a Curse?
In the garden of the Wei Palace, Cao Zhi's words made the smiles on Cao Cao and Cao Pi's faces gradually disappear.
"Since Zijian thinks that the construction of this Hanzhong Vocational College is not conducive to the development of Great Wei, I don't know what basis Zijian has?"
Cao Pi said to Cao Zhi in a deep voice, full of vigilance about what Cao Zhi was about to say next.
Cao Cao didn't expect that Cao Zhi would think that the construction of Hanzhong Vocational Training College might be a bad thing for the development of Great Wei, although he didn't agree with Cao Zhi's statement in his heart, he still wanted to hear why Cao Zhi came to this conclusion.
"There are only three of us father and son here today, and Zijian can speak freely."
When Cao Zhi heard this, he sent his remarks after discussing with Yang Xiu to Cao Cao and Cao Pi one by one.
"Father Wang, elder brother, Zijian believes that if Hanzhong Vocational Training College establishes a large number of branches in Dawei, the harm caused by it may be as follows.
First of all, from ancient times to the present, no matter what country is, it has been based on agriculture.
Zijian acknowledged that the development of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce and production base had indeed made a significant contribution to the enhancement of the national strength of the Great Wei and the better life of the Great Wei people, as well as to strengthen the armed forces of the Great Wei army.
However, Zijian felt that if the development of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce was too rapid, the possible impact would be that more people in the Great Wei Dynasty would be unwilling to engage in farming, and the construction of the production base and the Hanzhong Vocational Training College would also occupy a lot of land!
If there is another natural disaster like the one in the 16th year of Jian'an, it is very likely that it will cause famine again.
Secondly, after the Hanzhong Vocational Training College is built in large numbers in Dawei, the subsequent production base will definitely expand again, and the importance of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce will rise.
Now there is the Marquis of Hanzhong to escort the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce, so that the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce can contribute to the development of the Great Wei.
But once the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce becomes a gold mine in the eyes of everyone, how many scholars and officials can resist it?
At that time, I am afraid that there will be a day when the officials of the entire Great Wei clan will share the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce! ”
After Cao Zhi finished talking about the reasons he had discussed with Yang Xiu in one breath, he didn't say anything more.
Cao Cao and Cao Pi also fell into deep thought after listening to what Cao Zhi said.
Cao Cao knew that Cao Zhi was starting from the Great Wei clan's view of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce, to explain that the large-scale construction of the Hanzhong Vocational Training College in the Great Wei Dynasty may be a seedling promotion for the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce.
But without the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce, wouldn't those Great Wei officials and scholars want to firmly control the land around them?
The Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce is now far more helpful to Cao Cao than it is to the Great Wei clan and officials.
As for the situation mentioned by Cao Zhi, it is indeed possible in the future, but Cao Cao wanted to change the existing official system of the Great Wei during his lifetime.
What Zijian said is indeed very reasonable, the construction of Hanzhong Vocational Training College is to promote the further development of Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce.
The problem of famine was not a problem as long as the Great Wei guaranteed enough land for cultivation, after all, the grain provided by Mr. Lin could reach a yield of 1,000 catties per mu.
However, the development of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce to a certain extent will inevitably be coveted by others, and this problem is really difficult to solve. ”
Cao Cao did not deny Cao Zhi's remarks because Cao Zhi and his own views on the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce and the Hanzhong Vocational Training Institute were different, but Cao Cao affirmed Cao Zhi's words more.
For Cao Cao, the most important thing for Cao Zhi and Cao Pi to see what impact these new things can have on the future development of Great Wei in the construction of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce and the Hanzhong Vocational Training College.
After all, the king of a country does not need to be completely aware of the various details of a chamber of commerce, but he must know what changes this chamber of commerce will bring to the whole country.
Of course, Cao Pi can't look at the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce and the Hanzhong Vocational Training Institute from the perspective of the de facto monarch of a country like Cao Cao, but he can also understand the theory that Cao Zhi said.
However, understanding is understanding, when the prince is the prince, these two issues have little impact on each other for Cao Pi.
Cao Pi now thinks that if he does not hurry up and start the construction of the Hanzhong Vocational Training College in various parts of the Great Wei Dynasty, then the time for Cao Cao to ascend the throne and become emperor again will be delayed, and there will be more variables in his position as the crown prince.
"Zijian's words made my brother suddenly brightened, and my brother was very pleased!"
Cao Pi smiled at Cao Zhi, and the two staged a beautiful scene of brothers, friends and brothers in front of Cao Cao.
"Hahaha, does Zijian know that your brother Ziheng just suggested to his father that he should vigorously build Hanzhong Vocational Training College?"
Cao Cao looked at the harmony between Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, and said to Cao Zhi with a smile.
Cao Zhi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, before his father Cao Cao said that his brother Cao Pi had a lot of ideas about the benefits of building Hanzhong Vocational College, but he didn't expect Cao Pi to support the construction of Hanzhong Vocational Training College now.
"What my brother said must have my brother's truth, Zijian doesn't dare to say it!"
Cao Zhi didn't plan to debate with his brother Cao Pi in front of Cao Cao right now, he wanted to go back and discuss what he saw and happened today with Yang Xiu before making the next decisions and actions.
Cao Pi also didn't want to have a verbal battle with his younger brother Cao Zhi in front of Cao Cao about whether he should vigorously build the Hanzhong Vocational Training College without adequate preparation.
In Cao Pi's opinion, everything he and his younger brother Cao Zhi said may have been considered by his father Cao Cao in his heart.
Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have resolutely set a plan to build Hanzhong Vocational Training College when he convened his ministers to discuss in the palace of the Wei Palace.
It's just that Cao Cao didn't directly express his stance on the speed of building Hanzhong Vocational Training College.
Cao Pi thought that this was his father Cao Cao testing the ability of his younger brother Cao Chong, which was not good news for Cao Pi and Cao Chong.
If Cao Cao had already decided on the candidate for the crown prince in his heart, he would not have had to put the three brothers to any test.
Cao Pi and Cao Zhi saw that although their respective goals were not fully achieved today, they also learned about each other's attitude and plan, so in the next conversation with Cao Cao, they did not mention the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce and Hanzhong Vocational Training College, and both wanted to return to their mansions as soon as possible.
Cao Cao naturally saw that Cao Pi and Cao Zhi wanted to leave, but for the fact that the two brothers did not mention inviting themselves to the throne and become emperor this time, Cao Cao still praised Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's calm mentality in his heart.
Then the father and son drank a few glasses of wine again in the palace garden, and Cao Cao said to Cao Pi and Cao Zhi: "Father is a little tired today, so go back to the palace to rest first, and you two brothers should also go back to the house." ”
"Father, Ziheng retires!"
"Father, Zijian retires!"
When Cao Pi and Cao Zhi heard this, they retired and left the palace of Wei one after another.
Then the two exchanged words at the gate of the palace, and then went straight home.
