Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 756

"If anyone dares to rob me, I will use this pair of iron fists of justice, as well as my 'talented shoulders' and 'virtuous back' to make him understand the true meaning of hearing the Tao in the morning and dying in the evening!"

Cheng Yu shouted loudly!

His whole body shook, and his clothes burst open, revealing his sturdy body.

As soon as the arm was exerted force, the muscles instantly bulged, forming a word of talent.

Turning around again, he swung his shoulders back, and the muscles on his back melted into another word of virtue!

Looking at his muscles, even Cao Chun shrank into a corner, not daring to compete with Cheng Yu.

This bastard got up, even Xu Chu respected him three points!

Cao Cao stretched out his hand to touch Cheng Yu's firm muscles, and smiled with great satisfaction.

"Okay, okay! With Zhongde here, I don't have to worry about my great career!"

One person worked six jobs, and I only paid one salary. Where can I find such an employee?It's so cool!

Cao Cao laughed heartily, turned his head and patted Cheng Yu on the shoulder.

"I'll give you permission later, you go to the barracks to pick people yourself, as long as you don't pick the Phantom and Shenji Camp under my virtuous brother's command, you can pick the others!"

"The current number of people... I'll tentatively set it at [-]. The number of soldiers is not enough. The most important thing is that there is not enough funds to produce too many hot air balloons."

When Cao Cao arranged for the command of the air force, the hot air balloon had already landed slowly.

Everyone got out of the rattan baskets, and after Xia Houzhe put away the hot air balloon, they went back to his prime minister's mansion together.

"Zixiu, let your scientific research institute vigorously produce hot air balloons!"

"I, Cao Cao, not only want to plant flags all over the earth, I don't even want to let go of the sky now!"

Cao Cao confessed in high spirits.

Cao Ang nodded, he prefers to be obsessed with scientific research than to fight for power.

Even his fiancée, Yuan Ji, likes invention very much.

When it comes to happiness, there is nothing more than two people making love together.

"By the way, brother, Zixiao has sent a battle report. Samoke in the southwest of Jingzhou has colluded with the family. Do you have any solution?"

Sitting on the reclining chair, Cao Cao thought of the important things at hand.

Jingzhou is a strategically important place, and it is impossible for him to hand it over.

But if he wanted to use bloody means to quell the family, he was afraid that the foundation would be shaken.

Xia Houzhe made a cup of coffee and talked while drinking.

"Are you talking about solving the family or the barbarians?"

"I want to solve both. In Jingzhou, only the Huang family and the Cai family have the same heart with me. The others... They don't like me, and I don't think they like it either!"

"If it weren't for the fear of violent suppression, it would chill the hearts of my colleagues, I would have done it long ago!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, revealing a fierce look.

Xia Houzhe smacked his lips, put down the mellow coffee, picked up a fried chicken again, and gnawed it with his mouth open!

"Samoke is easy to solve. Barbarians like them just want resources and fame."

"And he has been talking for so long, but he hasn't attacked half of your territory. The purpose is to get your attention."

"If you ask someone to recruit him and give him enough money, he will definitely go down the steps! This is a strong soldier, and it can play a big role in the battlefield."

"You have to remember... money can turn ghosts around, let alone a mere savage!"

Xia Houzhe said disapprovingly that the money ability can solve all difficulties.

After Cao Cao listened, suddenly realized!

But then his brows gradually wrinkled again.

"But I don't have the ability to make money, why don't you lend me some more?"

"You're thinking farts! You owed me hundreds of thousands, and after so many years you paid back three hundred gold, you are already a dishonest person!"

Xia Houzhe rolled his eyes.

This kind of old Lai brother actually wants to cheat him, how can there be such a good thing.

Cao Cao shrugged his shoulders. Although he has a lot of property and a lot of shares, his salary and military pay are also huge.

I didn't save any money at all, basically spent it all.

"The barbarian has a solution, what about the aristocratic family?"

"Aristocratic family... It's not difficult to solve. I just ask you what is the root of the long-term existence of the noble family? Do you understand?"

Xia Houzhe took a bite of the chicken and said lightly, but he didn't think it tasted good, so he pushed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao ate the chicken, and after thinking for a few seconds, he slowly answered. He did not shy away from Cheng Yudianwei's poor family and Xun Yu's confidantes.

"Aristocratic family? The rise of an aristocratic family is nothing more than two points, political power and economy!"

"Since Emperor Wu, the level of productivity has been low. There are very few people who can read and write. The aristocratic families have the knowledge and the right to speak!"

"As time goes on, the aristocratic family has more and more political talents, and more and more officials from the aristocratic family, and they gradually control the power!"

"And those in power can only let the aristocratic family exist for the sake of talent, alas..."

Cao Cao shook his head, feeling powerless for a while.

During the Qin Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, due to the strong central control power of the rulers, the strategy of suppressing and attracting was often adopted.

At that time, the family didn't dare to be too arrogant.

However, after the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the central government declined and local tyrants rose. Even the founding emperors like Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu dared not offend them, let alone other emperors of the Han Dynasty.

In the middle and late period of the Han Dynasty, the local tyrants gradually developed into powerful families, occupying an important position at the political level, and Dong Zhuo's imperial power collapsed when he entered Beijing.

In order to protect themselves, the aristocratic families have armed separatist regimes. If any family does not have 2 or [-] horses, they are ashamed to call themselves a family.

Cao Cao has been suppressing the family since the unification of the north, but he can't do too much.

Because even Cao Cao himself has many civil and military generals who come from aristocratic families.

He is like Chen Qun, Yang Biao, Sima Lang, Lu Su, Xun Yu, etc...

Can't count on two hands!

Being too aggressive will cause them to rebel, and then there will be another chaos, and even their vitality will be greatly damaged.

However, there are very few poor families like Dianwei Xu Chu, but in comparison, he is most at ease with the children of the poor family.

So with him, Xu Chu, Wang Yue and Zhao Yun are very trustworthy, because he is not afraid that these people are arranged by the family, and he is not afraid that they will suddenly rebel.

I can gain their loyalty!

"That's right! It's just the political aspect, and the economic aspect...the aristocratic family holds a lot of land and food."

"This is equivalent to controlling the life gate of the people, so if you want to eradicate the family, you can do nothing more than start from these two points!"

Xia Houzhe narrowed his eyes, revealing a fierce light.

But he also understands that no matter how the aristocratic family is eradicated, it will only eradicate dissidents.

Those who stand on the side of Cao Cao can still live well, even... after 2000.

Hearing his words, Cao Cao's expression became serious, and he stood up and bowed his hands seriously.

"Brother! Please enlighten me!"

"For the sake of these aristocratic families in Jingzhou, I haven't slept soundly for many nights, I'm afraid they will make trouble!"

Most of the hundreds of thousands of troops owned by Liu Biao back then were drawn from the aristocratic family.

If the big families in Jingzhou want to rebel, they can organize an army of more than [-] in a very short period of time, and they will hold the people's throats and have the people as their backing.

Then the trouble caused is undoubtedly huge!

Cao Cao understood this, and Xun Yu, Xia Houzhe and the others also understood, so no one in the court dared to make suggestions.

I'm afraid that one mistake will turn the world upside down.

Xia Houzhe put down the food in his hand, and looked at Xun Yu and Pang Tong meaningfully.

"Both of you are my brothers, and they are from aristocratic families! I treat you as my own, so I don't shy away from you."

"However... I hope you don't tell anything about today's conspiracy, otherwise... Jie Jie Jie!"

Xia Houzhe smiled sadly, without any murderous look on his body, but it made Xun Yu and the others feel chills down their backs.

They are very clear about this guy's ability and character. Even a behemoth like Taiyuan Wang's family has been devoured by him, and there is no scum left...

They don't want to be reduced to ashes.

"Look at what you said, we are the master's people in life, and we are the master's ghost in death. Even if we are ghosts, we will not let him go... Bah, we will not betray him!"

The two smiled and waved their hands, grabbed Xia Houzhe's food, and began to feast on it.

Xia Houzhe nodded: "If you want to solve the monopoly of talents in the aristocratic family, you must first change the policy of talent selection."

"I have a method to properly solve this dilemma. It may not be effective for a year or two, but..."

"Five years later! The family's monopoly on talents will be greatly reduced!"

Looking at his confident appearance, everyone was whetted.

Even if they think about it, they can't figure out how to solve it.

Cao Cao even stood up suddenly, and exclaimed in disbelief:

"What! Five years? It only takes five years to see the effect?"

"Brother! You said it, don't be a fool!"

Xia Houzhe smiled lightly: "My new system for selecting talents is called... the imperial examination system!

Chapter 859 Surprise!It turns out that you made the layout a long time ago?

"The imperial examination system? What is the imperial examination system?"

"This changes the talent selection system. Chen Qun wrote me a new policy a few days ago."

"I didn't take a good look at it. It seems to be called an official system. I'll go back and look for it for you, okay?"

Cao Cao frowned and thought of something.

Just when he was about to get up, he was held down by Xia Houzhe's iron palm, unable to move.

Xia Houzhe sneered: "The policy he gave you is the nine-rank official system?"

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows slightly, and nodded thoughtfully.

"It seems to be this! Sure enough, you can't hide anything, even I don't have anything to look at, you will know it if you just say it!"

"What's the matter, brother, is there something wrong with this system?"

Cao Cao knew about Chen Qun. Although his ability was not as good as that of Xun Yu, he was considered top-notch.

On such a big matter, shouldn't you be a moth?

Xia Houzhe laughed contemptuously, and explained to Cao Cao the content of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System.

"Chen Qun's original intention is still good. By letting the aristocratic family inherit heredity, he can gain the support of a large number of aristocratic families. It is a bit like the policy currently used by Sun Quan."

"This will strengthen your power and status, but... this is only temporary!"

"In the long run, the officials still come from that group of aristocratic families. You can still live in the town when you Cao Cao is here, but when you are gone? They are full-fledged. Who of your Cao family's descendants can hold down the aristocratic family?"

"Family inheritance will only make them stronger and stronger!"

Chen Qun's original intention was to strengthen the centralization of power, but Xia Houzhe was not sure whether he had ever thought of profiting for the aristocratic family.

After Cao Cao heard his explanation, he realized it instantly!

His complexion gradually became gloomy, and there was a little murderous look on his body.

"Damn it! I, Cao Cao, have always advocated meritocracy, and have been trying to find ways to promote poor families. How could this Chen Changwen trick me so much?"

"This account, I must settle!"

He doesn't care what Chen Qun's original intention is, as long as it involves the root of his Cao Cao, he would rather kill the wrong than let it go!
