Chapter 344: Destiny is mine, not Cao
Soon, Cao Ang's actions spread everywhere.
After Yuan Shao learned about this, he didn't take the Cao family's father and son even more seriously.
"Then Cao Mengde and Cao Zixuan, the poorer they are, the more they pretend, they are obviously poor and let the sergeants go to Tuntian, and they are still here to distribute seeds to ordinary people, and even reduce the tax on grain."
"If this continues, within three years, the strength of the Cao family will shrink significantly, and at that time, I have already defeated that guy Gongsun Zhan, and my strength has grown.
At this time, Yuan Shao stood alone in the hall, full of pride.
……
And after Yuan Shu learned about this, he had to hurry up and become emperor.
"Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, you didn't have any food and grass in the first place, and it is really ridiculous to do such a big thing!"
"Destiny is mine, not Cao!"
"It's just that this day of being crowned emperor has been decided a long time ago, and it can't be changed at will, otherwise, I really want to be the emperor in advance!"
At this time, Yuan Shu already thought that he was the son of destiny.
And Gongsun Zhan, who was far away in Youzhou, he had long since stopped giving Cao Cao and Cao Ang any hope, so he didn't have much reaction to this matter, but actively prepared for war, preparing to fight to the death with Yuan Shao.
As for the four in Liangzhou, they are even more confusing.
On Li Dao and Guo Yan's side, Li Dao looked at the information in his hand and kept smacking his lips: "Look, this also distributes seeds to ordinary people, how many reserves do you have to have to withstand such a point?" ”
Hearing this, Guo Yan also echoed: "It seems that this Cao Ang asked the soldiers to open up the barren fields, just to reserve grain and grass, but I don't know what the yield of the new land he has reclaimed." ”
Li Wei nodded, in his impression, the yield of the fields opened up in Liangzhou was not very good, and some fields were even planted for a few years before they became wasteland again.
But if Cao Cao's yield in their tuntian is high, then their Liangzhou will be even more dangerous.
Just when Li Dao and Guo Yan were worried, Ma Teng and Han Sui were also thinking about Cao Cao and Cao Ang's intentions.
"What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the Cao family's father and son, and he actually took the initiative to send seeds to those people?"
Ma Teng frowned, his face full of helplessness.
Han Sui also had a solemn face: "And I also heard that Cao Ang also said that he would send seeds to the people every year." ”
"This Cao family is either a big family, or they are swelling and fat here, just waiting for the autumn harvest, and then you can see it." Ma Teng didn't have any good countermeasures now, so he could only sit and wait.
At this time, they didn't realize the importance of the military division, and they all relied on the three stinkers to stand on it.
……
Luoyang, above the court.
Today, Liu Wei took the initiative to ask Cao Ang: "General Cao, I heard that you took the initiative to distribute seeds to those people and promised to reduce their taxes, is it true?" ”
Cao Ang nodded when he heard this: "That's right, Your Majesty, it was done by the minister, and the minister also plans to ask for credit for the minister's younger brother Cao Shuo." ”
When Liu Wei heard this, he nodded: "Okay, everything is up to the general, it's just a matter of reducing taxes, isn't it a bit hasty, after all, the imperial court seems to have no money now." ”
"Your Majesty can rest assured, the soldiers' salaries, grain and grass can be solved through the minister's policy of tuntian, and as for the emptiness of the treasury, Your Majesty does not need to worry."
"The seeds distributed by the ministers are all high-quality seeds, and the output of the grain planted by the people has increased by at least five times, and the taxes will be less this year, but it will be more and more year by year."
After listening to Cao Cao's explanation, Liu Wei smiled and looked at the little eunuch who was serving him on the side.
"Gonggong Li, you see, I said that General Cao would never do anything that would harm the court."
When Gonggong Li heard this, he couldn't help but change his complexion.
And Cao Ang also frowned, looking at the young father-in-law.
It is taboo for this eunuch to interfere in the affairs of the court.
At this time, Cao Ang's eyes had become very cold.
Something like this kind of eunuch interference in politics should be strangled in the cradle in advance.
Xun Yu also understood why Cao Ang distributed those high-quality seeds, which turned out to be to increase the yield of all the hundred fields.
This is a great move!
Thinking of this, Xun Yu looked at the Gonggong Li again, and couldn't help frowning.
Because this Gonggong Li is very close to a person from a family, he doesn't know if this Gonggong Li was bewitched by that family, so he blew the wind in Liu Wei's ears.
After Liu Wei asked about the matter, he was also generous and directly named Cao Shuo Yongtinghou.
Since then, the three fathers and sons of the Cao family have all had knighthoods.
And Liu Wei also planned to let Cao Ang enter the court as an official.
It's just that Cao Shuo is not very old, and it is a little too early to become an official in the court.
What Cao Ang wanted was to take Cao Shuo with him, let him have a good experience, and let him gain knowledge.
As for the matter of becoming an official in the court, we still have to wait for Cao Shuo to cross the catastrophe of life and death.
And Cao Shuo was named the Marquis of the Pavilion, so he naturally wanted to enter the palace to receive the title.
After Cao Shuo knelt down and thanked Liu Wei, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what the minister actually wants to say is that this matter of improving seeds is something that my elder brother told me to do a long time ago. ”
"This credit should actually be my brother, but now it has fallen on the minister's head, which really makes the minister ashamed."
When everyone heard Cao Shuo's words, they were a little shocked in their hearts.
After all, this Tuntian strategy was just proposed, but Cao Ang asked people to do it early on in this matter of improving seeds.
In this way, isn't this Cao Zixuan already laying out this matter?
Thinking of this, the ministers couldn't help but sigh in their hearts about Cao Ang's calculations.
After Liu Wei learned the truth of the matter, he said with a smile: "Since General Cao wants to give you this credit, then you don't have to shirk, so as not to waste your brother's kindness." ”
When Cao Shuo heard this, he didn't say much, and then obediently thanked him.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, on the way home, the father and son of the Cao family sat in the same carriage.
Cao Cao couldn't help but ask: "Zixuan, why don't you discuss with your father in advance about distributing seeds to the people and lowering taxes?" ”
"It's just such a trivial matter, what are you discussing?" Cao Ang smiled faintly, he didn't think there was any need to say about this matter, just cut it first and then play it.
When Cao Cao heard this, he said with a solemn face: "Ziyu, don't dislike being long-winded for your father, it's better to discuss such things with your father in the future." ”
"After all, such a thing that benefits the people has harmed the interests of those families, and today's Gonggong Li should be sent by a certain family to test you."
