Zhong Hui's words, of course, were also in Cao Chao's consideration.

In fact, the most important thing in governing the world is finance.

If the temple does not consider the economic income and expenditure, and just buries its head in doing things, it will definitely make the country's economy collapse, and then the situation like Shu will happen.

There are many things that can be done, but before doing them, we must first consider whether the economy can bear them.

Otherwise, good things can easily turn into bad things.

Just like Zhong Hui said.

Cao Chao laughed, "I know what Shi Ji is worried about, but don't forget that last year's grain production was very high, higher than ever, and this year's grain production will be higher than last year." ”

Zhong Hui said solemnly: "Your Majesty, last year's tax revenue was due to the rectification of the rule of officials, even if it can continue to grow this year, after all, the growth is limited, and there will not be much breakthrough." ”

Cao Chao nodded, "Shi Ji is right, but what if I have other ways to continue to raise taxes?" ”

Zhong Hui was a little stunned, "Your Majesty is going to continue to cultivate farmland?" After taking Gangneung and other places? ”

"Of course, this must be done, but what I rely on is the Ministry of Shangshutai."

Cao Chao looked at the rest of the ministers and said seriously: "The original new plough, after being promoted in Yangzhou, has greatly increased Yangzhou's grain output, and now the Ministry of Industry is to promote it in all parts of the world, and the history of thorns in various places has begun to do this." ”

"In addition to the plough, there are also water drum trucks, water mills, grain fan cars, rollers, etc."

"The development situation in various places is different, many tools of the Later Han Dynasty and even the former Han Dynasty, some places do not even know, the Ministry of Industry is to collect the world's famous and ingenious work, and promote it to all places, I believe that this year's grain production will definitely be more than the previous year."

"Therefore, I dare to touch this tuntian system."

Cao Chao said very confidently.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces.

Cao Chao firmly believes that in fact, there are countless new agricultural tools invented in ancient times, but in terms of promotion rate, there is a lag in different regions.

In the Great Wei Dynasty, the agricultural tools in several regions of the Central Plains were often relatively advanced, while the border states were too backward, and some of the inventions of the former Han Dynasty were not promoted in these places, and there were probably many reasons for this.

Even in the Central Plains, there are differences in each region.

Du Yu is now busy liaising with the assassins in various places, so that they can do their best to promote it in the state.

Within the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei is already the most advanced country in agricultural technology, and the agricultural tools and agricultural technology of Shu and Wu are not as good as Cao Wei!

Especially in Wu, agricultural technology is quite backward.

Hearing Cao Chao's words, Zhong Hui pondered again, he was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not something that can be decided in a short period of time, and it can be discussed again."

The bell will speak again.

Cao Chao knew that Zhong Hui was probably going to the Ministry of Industry, or to investigate the situation in Huainan to verify his words.

But Cao Chao was not dissatisfied in his heart, but felt that Zhong Hui was very reliable.

Anyway, he also has times when his head is not hot, and he knows how to analyze calmly.

That's a good thing.

The reason why Cao Chao summoned many ministers was to let them find problems for themselves, and only by finding problems could they solve them.

Cao Chao is not a person who is afraid of trouble.

The ministers soon left, but Zhang Hua stayed.

"Your Majesty, I don't think the courtiers are very interested in discussing this matter."

Cao Chao didn't have any surprises about this.

"That's natural, this matter is not good for them, and in their opinion, it is probably not good for the world, it's just my blind toss."

"It's like the three-old system."

"They all feel that I am only trying to show my benevolence, but in fact I am harming the temple."

Zhang Hua hesitated for a moment, "Then what is Your Majesty for?" ”

"As they say, it is to show their benevolence and righteousness, and to make the farmers of the world more supportive of me."

Cao Chao replied very directly.

"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the hearts of the people are not in the temple, but in the place."

"If I can get the support of the armor soldiers, the praise of the merchants, and the support of the farmers, then no one will be able to shake my position, and I will be able to do more things with more peace of mind."

"This matter may not be good for the temple, but it is good for the community."

Hearing Cao Chao's words, Zhang Hua was stunned for a long time before he reacted, "Chen understands." ”

Cao Chao still likes Zhang Hua very much in his heart, in history, Zhang Hua struggled to support a new dynasty full of problems, and died of exhaustion.

This is actually somewhat similar to Cao Chao's current situation, fortunately, Cao Chao has far more supporters around him than Zhang Hua.

Cao Chao and Zhang Hua did not chat for too long, Cao Chao's time is very precious now, after the end of this meeting of ministers, he followed Zhang Hua out of the temple and went to Taixue.

This time it's still a micro-service.

Sima Yan told him about Taixue several times, but Cao Chao didn't believe it in his heart.

It's not that you don't believe in Anshi's personality, but you don't believe in his ability.

I'm afraid that those old foxes who are too learned will join forces to coax An Shi, play An Shi around, and then give himself wrong information.

Nowadays, Cao Chao's support among the people is getting higher and higher, and the support among the scholars is divided into two poles.

The scholars from the poor family and the common people were very supportive of Cao Chao.

Because Cao Chao set up libraries in various places, the majority of scholars from poor families got the same opportunity.

These scholars from poor families used to follow the children of the big clan to make trouble, but later they suddenly found that they didn't seem to get any benefit from making trouble like this, and they were the first to be arrested when something happened.

But following the emperor, you can see books that you can't see on weekdays, and you can have the same opportunity to participate in the assessment.

This made them change their minds suddenly, and the voice of praise for the emperor became louder and louder.

And those scholars who were born in big clans and had nothing to do all day long had a very low opinion of the emperor.

How low?

They privately called Cao Chao the Emperor of the Emperor, well, the scholar who said this was quickly imprisoned by He Zeng, but this only made them think of the emperor even lower.

They felt that Cao Chao used money to corrupt the army, so that the army of benevolence and righteousness became the army of interests.

In the country, the cool officials were reused to oppress the loyal and good.

Using Qin's cool methods at the local level, officials were able to compare their political achievements and lose their gentlemanly hearts.

At the same time, he also persecuted celebrities, and Wang Rong and others were arrested, which made the scholars very angry.

They feel that the current emperor is a ruthless and tyrannical lone husband like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Qin Shi Huang.

Cao Chao knew this very well, but he didn't care.

It is because of this trend of thought that Cao Chao feels that Taixue may not be as calm as Sima Yan said, and those scholars will be so well-behaved to obey their orders.

He directly cut off their path to the Five Classics, and forced them to participate in the assessment with those mud-legged people.

Cao Chao decided to see it with his own eyes.

When Cao Chao followed Zhang Hua to Taixue, he noticed the difference at a glance.

In the past, the Taixue Mansion, which was in and out with the door open, became solemn at this moment, and there were more than 20 armor soldiers standing at the door, fully armed, holding strong crossbows, staring around.

Cao Chao was stunned for a moment and looked around again.

Did you come to Taixue or the Chinese military academy??

Cao Chao failed to infiltrate successfully, and was directly intercepted by these armor soldiers.

When the little colonel was about to pull Cao Chao over roughly, Zhang Hua realized that something was wrong and hurriedly revealed the identity of the emperor.

The soldiers were shocked and hurried to salute and greet them.

"Your Majesty!!"

"The minister is rude! The minister is rude!! ”

The soldier looked extremely guilty and at a loss.

"Hahaha, it doesn't have to be like this, how can there be a soldier guarding here?"

The soldier hurriedly said: "It is the Taixue Supervisor who sent us here, let us be responsible for the defense of this place, no one is allowed to make trouble, those who enter and leave must be registered, and those who have nothing to do with it are not allowed to enter."

Hearing the words of the armorer, Cao Chao felt that something was wrong.

What the hell is Nexperia doing?

Immediately, Cao Chao ordered them to continue to stay here, and not to inform others about their arrival, and then led everyone into Taixue.

Taixue has become completely different from the original, and the fierce lectures of teachers can be heard everywhere.

In Taixue, I could see the soldiers patrolling back and forth, and Cao Chao was stopped again as soon as he entered.

At this time, Cao Chao finally couldn't help it and ordered Sima Yan to be found.

Soon, Sima Yan and Zhong Yu appeared in front of Cao Chao.

"Your Majesty!! What are you doing here?! ”

Cao Chao pointed at the armor soldiers, "What's going on?!" ”

Sima Yan glanced at Zhong Yu, "It was Zhong Gong's suggestion, the students were unwilling to come to class, and they openly insulted Your Majesty, didn't Your Majesty give me five hundred armor soldiers before?" I immediately summoned these 500 armor soldiers and asked them to come to Taixue, and I was responsible for urging the students to enter the school."

"Since these five hundred soldiers came, none of the students have skipped school, they are all very happy to study, even the teachers do not dare to delay time, they are working hard every day, there is no more service in the school, drinking, assessment, I just said, they are very happy to accept"

Cao Chao reacted at this time, I said how can these scholars be so well-behaved, co-authored by you, who used armor to force them to attend classes, right?!

Cao Chao took a deep breath.

It was really the first time he had heard of such a governance Taixue, and he looked at Zhong Yu on the side in a complicated manner.

"Zhong Gong, these are scholars, not prisoners, why are they here?!"

Zhong Yu hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the minister is not bullying the scholars, the ministers have words first, if you feel that you can't adapt to Taixue, you can drop out of school and leave, these people who stay want to study, the soldiers are here, just to protect the scholars."

Cao Chao couldn't speak for a long time.

Sima Yan was very proud, "Your Majesty, is the minister meritorious?" ”

"I'll have to ask the gentlemen."
