As the ministers of the Ministry of Industry considered, in fact, in those areas of Jingnan and Jiaozhou, the economic benefits and other benefits are not great.

Even Lu Kang, an inappropriate person, may send troops to sabotage and delay the construction project from time to time.

However, if this place can really be built well, there will be a big difference between the rule of Wei and the rule of Wu.

That's a lot of fun.

Wang Ji has already played the temple, hoping to exempt the local taxes and use the cultivated land to appease the people, anyway, any good policies will be thrown here.

The main thing is to show benevolence to the people of Wu.

When the forcibly relocated people began to flee back to their places in large numbers, it was time for the state of Wu to fall.

Cao Chao thought for a moment, and then recognized Du Pre's idea.

Some of the construction projects of the temple may not be rewarded at all, and it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources, but it doesn't matter, the temple is not a profit-making organization in the first place, and he is not a businessman.

There are some things that you have to do even if you know you will lose money.

Cao Chao discussed many matters related to the construction of the temple with Du Pre, and in the days after Cao Chao ascended the throne, the construction of the temple was relatively restrained.

It is completely incomparable with Emperor Ming.

Emperor Ming is fond of engineering, to the later several ministers of the era, they do not care much about the people's power, a lot of special activities, to the Cao Chao period, finally converged some, until now, Cao Chao in addition to some necessary road construction and city repair, almost never moved any project, did not send a large levy.

With the size of the Wei State, there is no idea of launching a conscription, but the Wu State is constantly conscripted.

Cao Chao was still quite interested in the lake field in Wu State, and he was even thinking about whether to wait for others to finish building it before attacking

There are still many good people in Wu State, Sun Qi, Pu Yangxing, how good these people are, not like that hateful Lu Kang!

After talking to Du Yu about the construction of Jingnan, Cao Chao left here in a hurry.

He still has a lot to do.

The Ministry of Industry has solved the problem here.

There is another big event next, that is, the restoration in Shudi.

Shu is the country of abundance, since Qin, it has existed as a granary, think about the period of Zhuge Liang, the population of Shu can raise so many soldiers and horses, and they will not feel weak.

Even during Jiang Wei's period, Shu could guarantee an army of about 100,000 people.

There are many places suitable for cultivation in Shudi, but some of them were too squeezed before.

Moreover, there is the moth of the big clan, which embezzles a large amount of land, which greatly reduces the tax of the temple.

After acquiring a large amount of arable land, they usually choose to hide the arable land and tenants, and then give the temple only a small tax.

As a result, there have always been great disappearances and explosions in ancient history.

After the troubled times, in just a few years, the population has skyrocketed several times, and there are also reasons why the birth rate has increased greatly because of social stability, but more often than not, the big clans are so strong that they can't arbitrarily hide the land.

On the other hand, before Cao Cao, the world went to the poll tax, which is often said to be calculated and paid, but at the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and coins were no longer important, and the tax system for paying coins was naturally not good, so Cao Cao began to implement household modulation, that is, paying taxes according to households.

The amount of land rent regulated by rent is relatively low, and it has two characteristics, the first is to increase production without increasing rent, and the second is to increase personnel without increasing taxes.

At the original rate of taxation, you have to pay more taxes as your property increases, and if you have children, you have to pay taxes on your children, which causes the people to be reluctant to cultivate the land, preferring to be tenants, and they are afraid to have children.

One more child means one more burden of paying taxes, where are ordinary people still alive? There have even been a large number of abandoned and dead babies

Cao Wei was the first to change this situation, increasing production without increasing rent, and increasing people without increasing taxes.

Immediately, Shu and Wu began to follow suit.

As a result, the country's population and arable land began to increase in a large area.

But this also created excellent conditions for the great clans, because the new system of taxes was fixed at a fixed value, so they could expand their cultivated land unscrupulously, and the people who paid taxes outside became less and less, and the income of the temples became lower and lower.

It can only be said that no matter what you do, there are still such a group of people who will benefit.

But Shu has a unique farming advantage, if you can farm here well, you can make Shu become the first grain production area in the whole Great Wei in the future.

Therefore, Cao Chao needs someone who is very good at farming.

"Your Majesty!!"

When Cao Chao's car broke directly into the mansion, Deng Ai hurriedly bowed and greeted.

Deng Ai's expression at the moment was really embarrassed.

Because he was not alone in the palace, there was another person beside him, and that person was Shi Bao, who had been deposed from office.

Shi Bao came this time to catch up with Deng Ai in a friendly way.

At the beginning, Deng Ai gave him a lot of instructions, telling him not to be afraid, to attack bravely, and said that he would definitely settle these people, and then, Shi Bao was leveled first.

Shi Bao will not break the defense because of this, and he wants Deng Ai to give an explanation or something.

Didn't the emperor let him go to Biansai in the first place, but also to do something for himself?

He actually wanted to talk to Deng Ai about the future of the two and see if there was any chance to regain momentum.

Shi Bao is not very old, and his ability is not bad among many generals, he was originally scheduled to conquer four towns and four towns, but now he has a white body, and his heart is somewhat unwilling.

Sure enough, Cao Chao saw these two people standing together, and his eyes were full of surprise.

Deng Ai hurriedly got up and explained: "Your Majesty, Ai, Ai, Ai is definitely not secretly conspiring with colleagues, we are just discussing politics, politics, government affairs. ”

Shi Bud only felt that it was dark in front of him.

There was nothing going on, but when you said that, the atmosphere suddenly became tense!

Sure enough, looking for this person to talk about the future is the same as looking for Zhong to talk about marriage!

Pure nonsense!

I shouldn't have been here.

Cao Chao couldn't help but laugh when he heard Deng Ai's words.

"Okay, I got it."

He looked at Shi Bao, "Since you're here, don't leave in a hurry, I'll have something to tell you later!" ”

Shi Bao was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted.

He didn't worry that the emperor would settle accounts with him, but he didn't worry that the emperor wouldn't look for him.

Cao Chao took Deng Ai into the study, and Shi Bao didn't dare to go in, so he had to wait at the door.

Deng Ai is now helping in the Ministry of War, although Shangshu has a great opinion of him, but the rest of the people in the Ministry of War still like Deng Ai.

Deng Ai taught them a lot of things, and at the same time helped them ease their work.

Deng Ai is an idle person, in the military department, he participates in the work of these people everywhere, and points fingers at them.

Deng Ai's behavior is annoying in the eyes of Chen Qian and others, but in the eyes of these officials, Deng Ai is a famous general who destroyed a country, and it is a great honor to be pointed at by him.

Besides, you can really learn a lot from Deng Ai.

When Cao Chao followed him into the study, Cao Chao found that his study was extremely cluttered and there was almost no place to stay.

There are a lot of documents placed around the room, these are not the art of war, it looks like Deng Ai himself wrote it, Cao Chao picked up one curiously.

This is not the art of war written by Deng Ai himself, but some records.

The situation in various places was recorded, friend and foe analysis were recorded, and so on.

Cao Chao looked at it seriously for a long time, and then sighed: "General Deng really can't let go of this big thing." ”

When Deng Ai heard this, he immediately bowed down to Cao Chao and saluted.

"Your Majesty, Ai, Ai is wrong, please let me go to Biansai, I am willing to ride for a horse, a horseman"

Deng Ai's life in Luoyang seems to be lively, far better than staying in Biansai, but like Wen Yang, he is also a person with his own ideas.

Deng Ai even enjoyed the pleasure of leading the troops to fight in the border and making contributions.

But Cao Chao didn't have the idea of letting him lead troops in the short term, Wei State vs. Wu State, it was a crushing game, and he didn't need to use a person like Deng Ai who was easy to get out of control, even if this person was indeed a famous general.

After Wu Guo is pacified, maybe he can fight a dozen Hu people who are unwilling to be educated or something, but if he wants to fight Wu Guo, it is a dream!

Cao Chao looked at Deng Ai who was kneeling in front of him, he had a straight face, "I understand the general's thoughts, and I came here this time to ask the general about important matters." ”

"However, on the Wu side, there are many generals who are familiar with Wu Di, so there is no need to bother General Deng to come forward."

Deng Ai hurriedly raised his head, "The temple is using troops against Tuoba, and the minister is willing to be the vanguard!" ”

Cao Chao was stunned for a moment, "When will the temple use troops against Tuoba?" ”

Deng Ai said confidently: "The battle between Great Wei and Tuoba is within these five years. ”

"Oh? How so? ”

Deng Ai said seriously: "If Your Majesty pacifies the State of Wu, the next step will definitely be to make a move against Tuoba, either to educate or destroy the country." ”

"The minister has already met with Desert Khan, judging from this person's words and deeds, I am afraid that Tuoba will not accept it easily, I think His Majesty has already known this, so he let Zhong Hui participate in their affairs, in fact, it is to prepare for the future war!"

"The situation on Tuoba's side, the minister is not very clear, but he sent a proton to come, but he did not ask too much for the matter of being sealed, which is different from the past, which shows that they are not willing to surrender, but are just delaying time, hoping to find an opportunity in the future"

"If Your Majesty Agrees"

When Deng Ai talked about these things, he didn't even stutter and was very fluent.

Cao Chao had no choice but to interrupt him, "These things can be talked about later, I came to you this time to discuss the affairs of Shudi." ”

Hearing Shudi, Deng Ai suddenly didn't dare to speak.

Shu should be Deng Ai's most proud work, but unfortunately his arrogance ruined all this, speaking of Shudi, Deng Ai's heart seems to be clouded, with inexplicable unwillingness and remorse, no one in the house dares to mention these two words again.

If he had been more restrained at that time, perhaps he should have served as the general of the expedition to the west, preparing for the crusade against Wu and serving as a general.
