Chapter 36: Hmph, it's just a sour Confucian

"Lord, since we have talked so much, I still want to say something below," Zhang Han suddenly became serious.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it," Cao Cao did not have any taboos, and was still immersed in the imagination of a whole set of decrees on the improvement of agriculture and mulberry.

Besides, you Uncle Zhang often even said that rowing doesn't need to be pulped and relies on the waves, what else can I say.

"At present, in Yanzhou, we have achieved the first step in the sacrificial wine strategy, taking a foothold in Yanzhou, during which we have received the support of Yuan Jizhou many times, as well as the great help of Bao Xiang. However, with the Confucian scholars in Yanzhou, it has become a situation that is close to 'party struggle', and it is precisely because of this situation that the rest of the princes will not regard the lord as the first enemy, so it is a good thing. ”

"Party strife?" Cao Cao closed his eyes and muttered the word, "Hmph...... They are Confucian scholars, and I, Cao Mengde, am slightly cold and reckless, and there is a difference in class, well, you are right. ”

No, I'm trying to say that they might think of you as a eunuch, and the reckless class won't hate you to the point of that......

Of course, this kind of thing must not be spoken, and after it is said, it will definitely be recorded in a small book by Boss Cao.

"This is also the reason why he is making internal affairs and ignoring these Confucian complaints, because it may not be a good thing for people to feel helpless, and people are lost."

"Well said," Cao Cao's mouth rose at the top of his mouth, he was in a good mood, he was both civil and military, he spoke well, and he also knew how to cast agricultural and mulberry utensils, he was really a talent.

"So, next spring, there are only three things! Internal governance, raising the people, and tuntian! ”

Make money, make money, or make money!

Zhang Han smiled and said: "It's best for the lord to write a few more poems and circulate them to express your talents, feelings and aspirations." ”

"There are many sorrows in late autumn, and there should be good poems." Cao Cao chuckled, and the poem was no longer a word, but it could be circulated in the territory.

"Well-to be pastoral," Zhang Han said seriously, "or to speak of the will, no longer talk about the hardships of the army and the people." I feel that if the people can be grateful for the pastoral peace and the Han Shengping, they will work hard this spring. ”

"When empathy is poor, if I am in troubled times, I will be safe, and I will be angry in Xingping. They have already suffered too much, but they have tasted the sweetness this year, and they might as well give the people more hope in the spring of next year......

The two fell into contemplation at the same time, and at this moment Cao Cao actually felt that Zhang Han's words were very profound, and there was a maturity that did not belong to his age.

Generally, three out of twenty are sharp years, not to mention that Bo Chang is still a person who is killed in the ranks.

I was born in Xingping and was self-resentful.

Yes, whether it is the people of Yanzhou or the people of Qingxutun, if their hearts have been at peace, they will naturally miss the prosperity and peace, and their hearts will be more grateful to the government of Yanzhou, and then they will dedicate.

Instead of waiting for him in a panic Cao Cao to lead someone to take a knife to the neck to persecute him, he was willing to say a sentence: Jun Qingping's capable minister! The traitor of troubled times (crossed out), the hero of troubled times!

In this case, what Bo Chang said is not to let me write poems, but to ask me to use such poems in Yanzhou to become a custom, which can be spread to various states and counties, and some people will follow suit.

"Chicken soup is coming," Dian Wei ran out again, brought the last pot of soup with the cook, and closed the door after coming in, afraid of running away to warm up.

Cao Cao stretched out his hand to invite, and a wave of pride came to his face: "Bo Chang, please drink freely, don't be restrained!" ”

Zhang Han's eyes were stunned for a moment: "What is this my family......"

……

This night, Cao Cao and Zhang Han chatted for a long time, and then a lot of poems came out from the government office, and while there was no ice and snow blocking the road, they were spread to the places of Dongjun.

Many literati, including Xi Zhicai, wrote poems at home, which were widely circulated.

I also got some "money and suspension, agricultural harvest accumulation, and anti-brigade reorganization, in order to pass through Jia merchants." The poems depict the peaceful scenery of Yanzhou nowadays, and there are also the wonderful sentences that Zhang Han casually chanted "Singing during the day must be indulged in wine, and youth is a good companion to return to the hometown".

Most of the people are laughing at each other, and the scholars are disdainful of this, and the Yanzhou scholars themselves plan to echo when they hear some songs, but when they hear this wind, they are the first to write by Cao Cao......

scolded on the spot for "not thinking about the suffering of the people", and regarded all this poem as a little harvest this year, and began to whimsically enjoy those unattainable ways.

So they were so angry that they gathered at home again, shouting "born in sorrow and dying in peace", and denounced the officials in the current Yanzhou officialdom who were appointed by Cao Cao, all of whom were short-sighted and did not understand the way of governing the country and the county.

In this situation, Cao Cao ordered Cao Ang to take the lead in himself, and unified the people to irrigate the fields in various places with winter water, so as to ensure that the soil can store sufficient water before the deep winter, and take advantage of the time to raise the soil, and pass these poems on the mountains and wilderness.

In winter, Yanzhou has gained a lot of peace.

In the blink of an eye, the Yanzhou government office sent out another person to build two new agricultural and mulberry tools, "keel waterwheel" and "Xijing", which started from Dongjun and were successively implemented in Jibei, Chenliu and Dongping.

The keel waterwheel is placed obliquely into the water, the body has a wooden plank into a groove, through the pedal at the top, the power of the belt is used to make the wooden groove of the body move upward, each layer of the groove can drive a bucket or several buckets of water, after being transmitted to the shore, it is poured into the dug ditch, and it can flow into the field.

As for the stream well, it is dug in the shade of the river, and the water is stored, and the roof is covered with a canopy, which is simple and easy to do, so as to prevent the river from drying up during the drought. It is also possible to use a keel waterwheel to draw water.

As soon as these two new orders were issued, the neighborhood was much more lively, and the farmers were naturally happy to see the excitement, and whenever someone gathered, there would be spontaneous people to introduce these utensils and inform them of their efficacy.

"Our state pastor's ambition is great."

"I can hum a few words of the songs he wrote, not just casually! This is the time when we will really be able to go back to the time when we planted the soil with peace of mind. ”

"Drought prevention, water intake, and a lot of injuries and fatigue have been reduced, and Cao Gong is really talented."

"Haha, Brother Li doesn't know, Cao Gong doesn't force fame, this strategy of farming, including the creation and design of these two things, is all from the hands of Zhang Han, the chief bookkeeper under his command."

"It's him again! Does Brother Xu know who Zhang Han is? Where did you learn from? I remember that the government of the people also came from his mouth, and this person has a lot of experience in governing politics, and he must have a lot of experience. ”

"I don't know, it is said that Zhang Han did not have a teacher, that is, he was born in a common man, and he had to be promoted because of Princess Cao Zhang Weicai, and his words and deeds were examined."

"Good proposition!" Now that Yuzhou talks about meritocracy, everyone has a new insight, not looking at the reasons and background when the proposition appeared, but only looking at the current results.

At least a few advisors have been able to govern quietly and use their talents to reassure the people; There are several advisors who can march and set up formations, and they have won many victories.

"If the people have long happiness, they will not make my land desolate, and the people will no longer fear harsh taxes, and there will be heavens on the earth. In this way, the people should be 'I love my hometown, I love my county', so how can such a state pastor be the one who says it is a disaster? ”

"They're just sour people."

In the spring, there are more people who come to Cao Cao, including horse merchants, wealthy families and other people with considerable family resources, who sell their family property to fund Cao Cao, and they can also exchange things outside their bodies for other "guarantees" in troubled times, because it is impossible to keep money in troubled times, and Cao Cao is benevolent and righteous not to rob.

It's better to give it to exchange for some contributions, this kind of contribution must be as early as possible, and when Cao Cao occupies the territory of three states or even four or five states in the future, they may not even be able to enter the threshold if they want to go.

So as soon as spring arrived, it was all good news.
