After the unification was completed, it would be difficult for Dawei to find an opponent of equal strength around him.

The same is true for today's Cao Chao.

There is basically no opponent who can be called by Dawei, and the most powerful one on the bright side is Tuoba, and Tuoba can't withstand the beating at all.

Historically, Wei Qian bribed their ministers, and let them dissolve them directly from the inside, directly letting Tuoba Liwei die.

This kind of institutional flaw is very fatal when it comes to war with the great powers.

And the rest of them, Goguryeo, Buyeo, Samhan, Sushen, Osun, Kangju, Funan

These are the former Han, the Later Han, and the defeated generals of the Wei State.

None of them can fight!

Cao Chao asked about the situation in Jiaozhou at this moment.

After several crusades by Qin, Former Han, Later Han, Wu, etc., the scale of present-day Jiaozhou was extremely large, and the territorial scope included present-day Vietnam.

There is nothing around that can be called a threat.

There is a Funan country, which was originally peaceful, the country and the people are safe, and they don't have contact with the outside world, until they have a general named Fan Man, who has admired the Central Plains culture for a long time.

He began to earnestly and actively study the excellent governance ability of the Central Plains regime.

The good news is that he learned.

The bad news was that the Central Plains regime at that time was usurped by powerful ministers.

Then the general plotted to usurp the throne, and the Funan country was still the same Funan country, but the lineage of the throne changed from the mixed clan to the Fan clan.

Fan Man left the throne to his son, not to tell him not to be a general by outsiders, but his son Fan Jinsheng did it, and served as a general as an elder of the same clan.

Then the fellow Fan Zhan he arranged killed him and set himself up as king.

He even sent an envoy to Eastern Wu, and Sun Quan was very happy and sent people over to educate them.

Their current king is called Fan Xun, yes, he also came up by plotting to usurp the throne

It can only be said that those who come up by such means cannot get a stable dynasty, because the founding king has been headed, and the whole dynasty has fallen into endless civil strife.

Listening to Tao Huang talk about these things, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Cao Chao asked again: "Then how many people do they have?" How many armies are there? ”

"The population will not exceed 150,000, and the army will not exceed 20,000."

Cao Chao shook his head when he heard this.

Jiaozhou, who came out of the state of war, is stronger than them!

In the peaceful era of the Later Han Dynasty, if the temple wanted to send troops to attack the surrounding people, it also needed to launch the northern army and let the northern army go on an expedition.

But now, all places have experienced round after round of war baptism, and the people everywhere are more abundant in martial arts because they have participated in military service many times, and they don't need temples to send troops.

But consider whether the value is not worth it inappropriately.

In the past, the big country of the Later Han Dynasty, with a population of tens of millions, and a population of half a billion at its peak, despised the world, and these more than 100,000 people were mosquito legs in mosquito legs for them, and they were too lazy to look at it.

But Cao Chao is different, such a huge territory has a population of less than 10 million.

The old Wei people are poor and afraid, and they don't dare to waste any population.

Talent is the foundation of everything, no one can't do anything.

It doesn't matter if he is a native of the Central Plains or a Qianghu barbarian, as long as he is caught in the Central Plains, he is a person who can farm and pay taxes.

Cao Chao has not been much of a clan in recent years.

He immediately looked at Tao Huang, "With the current strength of Jiaozhou, can you break through Funan?" ”

Several people in front of them looked at each other.

Huo Yi opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, this time the minister and Shi Gong went out on an expedition and trained an elite, but there are only more than 10,000 people, if you want to be safe, you still need General Wang to send another army, and 20,000 people are enough to kill his country." ”

"However, Your Majesty, there are many mountains and forests outside Jiaozhou, there are not many places suitable for farming, and there are many miasma epidemics, fierce beasts are frequent, and this small country has never been rude to Great Wei, why does Your Majesty want to crusade against them?"

Cao Chao said seriously: "Because they have people." ”

"Jiaozhou has experienced many wars this time, ten rooms and nine empty, and the upper recital of the history of stone thorns says that there are only more than 400,000 people left in Jiaozhou today."

"The same situation is also in Youzhou, Liangzhou, Nanzhong, Western Regions and other places."

"If you want to manage these places well, you need a large number of people, otherwise, even those cities and roads that have been destroyed by the war will not be known how long it will take to build."

When Cao Chao faced his own generals, he didn't say anything righteous and awe-inspiring, and simply stated his purpose.

The land of Funan may be nothing, at most it can only play the role of a maritime communication, but their people can move into Jiaozhou to farm and build.

If the civil officials heard Cao Chao's words, they might pretend to persuade him a few words, saying that they should not take swords lightly and the like, but several people here are all fierce generals in the army.

They don't care about these things at all.

Cao Chao talked with them for a long time and drew up a long-term development idea for Nanzhong and Jiaozhou.

In the evening, several of them left, and Zhong Limu was the last to go.

His mood was very excited, but he didn't understand very well that as an outsider, especially an outsider whose status in Wu was not very high, he directly took the Great Wei Jiuqing.

This scared him.

Although he knew that Jiuqing was now a fictitious official in Great Wei, and he only had a name, he felt that he didn't seem to be worthy of this temporary title.

After the other three said goodbye and left, he stepped forward to bow.

"Your Majesty is so fond of the minister, and the minister is grateful in his heart, but the minister is not virtuous and incompetent, and he has never made any meritorious contributions to His Majesty, how can he take on such a great responsibility?"

Cao Chao laughed.

"If you haven't made meritorious contributions in the past, won't you be able to make meritorious contributions to me in the future?"

Seeing that Zhong Limu still refused to get up, Cao Chao said: "Actually, I promoted you this time because there was something important for you to come forward. ”

Only then did Zhong Limu get up, "Please give your Majesty an order!" ”

"Don't do that, just sit down."

Cao Chao smiled and motioned for him to sit beside him, and then he spoke: "Earlier, Chen Tai played a game, saying that he was going to migrate some Wuzhong clans to the Central Plains, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Zhong Limu was born in a big family, but he was not a top family, and he was not up or down in the Wu Kingdom.

Zhong Limu immediately replied: "The Wu land clan is entrenched, raising private soldiers, and secretly hiding armor and strong crossbows, these things are known to everyone in the world, and it is right to move these people out of Wu land so that they can no longer continue to do evil in the local area. ”

Zhong Limu's father was relatively poor, and this habit was passed on to Zhong Limu, who used to farm the land and support himself when he was young.

And historically, when he died, he was destitute and left little for his children

In this world, it is so rare that people of a large clan can be famous for their poverty!

There is also a Hu Wei in the Central Plains, and Wu Guo is also a Zhongli Mu.

Cao Chao said with a smile: "Chen Gong also wrote a special book and talked about the situation of your family. ”

"As a famous family, you don't have much arable land, you rely on your own income to make a living, do everything yourself, do things fairly, whether it is local officials or people, they respect you very much."

"If the great clans of the Wu Kingdom are like this, why do I need to let them migrate?"

Cao Chao said seriously: "Wu Di has been far away from the temple for a while, and the big clans here are too far away from me, and they are rarely kingly transformed and misbehaved, and I am now determined to move them all out of Wu Land." ”

"But what Chen Gong is worried about at present is that these big clans will instigate the local people, deceive them, and distort the good governance of the temple and the local government into a bully of the Wu people, I need a person with great prestige and credibility among the people to complete such a great thing on my behalf."

"In fact, there are not many things for you to do, the order of the migration of the big clans is done by Chen Tai, and the things that transport them are done by Wang Ji, and what you have to do is to hold the festival, go to Wu Land, and prevent them from instigating the people to have Tao Huang to help, this matter should not be difficult."

"This is the first, the second thing, is the many barbarians in Wu Land."

"You pacified these barbarians, and you were very famous among them."

"I am in the Central Plains, what I am implementing is a policy of indoctrination, and Wu Guo is no exception, if there is no person like you to contact, then Chen Tai will venture to contact, I am afraid that they will be bad with each other because of misunderstanding."

"There are few people in the south, and I don't want to see anything like this happen again."

"If you want to keep the festival and complete these things, you must have enough official positions, so I will let you be Jiuqing."

"I remember that you also held festivals in Wu Kingdom, so you should have some experience."

Zhong Limu seemed to understand, and he bowed to Cao Chao again.

"Command!"

The two talked about Wu Guo again, and Cao Chao let him leave.

After he also left, Zhang Huafang walked in, and he knew the results of the canonization very early.

"Your Majesty, did Zhong Limu agree?"

"Yes."

"This person and the rest of the big clans are not all the way, when his father was the captain of the Lou boat, he had to farm and study for a living, and personally went to work in the field, which shows their poverty, this person is good at governance, and knows military strategy, has military merits, and has qualifications, but even if he can't be promoted, he also knows the problem of Wu Di, and he will not shirk."

"It's best to send a Wu person to do it, so that those people won't say that it is the Wei people who bullied the Wu people."

Just as the two were talking, a servant suddenly hurriedly walked in.

"Your Majesty!!"

"What's going on?"

"There are celebrities and scholars debating in Taixue!"

"The Scholar Wounded Six"

Zhang Hua was shocked, "How could such a thing happen?" What about Xiahou and them? Didn't they stop it? ”

He hurriedly looked at Cao Chao on the side.

only to find that Cao Chao had a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, you"

"I've heard people say that in the pre-Qin and pre-Han dynasties, everyone debated, and after the battle of tongues, they would occasionally start a competition!"

"I thought that my Great Wei Shi was a young martial artist, and they all drank alcohol, but I didn't expect that now I also have some former Han style!"

Zhang Hua only felt a headache, "Your Majesty!" That's not a good thing!! ”
