Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 669

Cao Cao also lost several catties because of this.

Time flies and three months have passed, without Cao Cao and the others coming to eat, Xia Houzhe is eating well.

Today is the tax day after the autumn harvest, and everyone in Cao Ying is busy.

Travel around to count taxes!

Under Cao Cao's command, every locality has a commissioner responsible for supervising taxation, and any officials who increase taxes without permission will be executed immediately.

Under the heavy law, there is no arbitrary tax collection.

Cao Cao loves money, but never exploits the people. He always remembers Xia Houzhe's words.

Water can carry a boat and can also overturn it!

Chenliu prefect's mansion, everyone handed the tax list to Cao Cao.

"My lord! This is the second tax of this year, please have a look!"

Xi Zhicai handed over his hands and reported.

Cao Ying implements a tax twice a year, once in spring and autumn.

However, under Xia Houzhe's argument and hard work with all the counselors, the tax revenue under Cao Ying's command was also reduced to one forty taxes.

This can be said to be the lowest in the entire Chinese dynasties.

All the people are grateful to Cao Cao Xia Houzhe.

Throughout the entire Han Dynasty, the lowest tax was [-] one, and the tax was even more heavy during the Lingdi period.

In such a comparison, Cao Cao directly became the Lord of Benevolence and Righteousness!

However, Cao Ying's tax revenue is not less than before, because many landlords have been defeated because of the division of production into households.

So the land belongs to Cao Cao!

The number of acres of land contracted to the people is recorded in each county government, so there is no such thing as tax evasion, concealment or false reporting of production.

In addition, the sweet potato hybrid rice that the common people grow is high, so they will naturally pay more.

We must know that in the past, those families of landlords generally reported only a hundred acres of land for thousands of acres, so naturally they evaded a lot of taxes.

But now there are no landlords in Chen Liu. After Xia Houzhe dug a hole several times, most of the aristocratic families have gone bankrupt.

Cao Cao glanced at the tax and nodded in satisfaction.

"Good! This year is a bumper harvest, enough for us to go south to fight in Jingzhou!"

"Unexpectedly, Jizhou used to be the richest in the north, but now I, Yanzhou, have replaced it! The output has more than doubled, and everyone owes a lot to it!"

Cao Cao is in a good mood!

Yanzhou is his base, and he values ​​it more than anyone else.

More taxes are collected, which proves that the economy here is high.

The one million yellow scarves in the past can be regarded as giving Yanzhou great productivity.

Yanzhou tax revenue will be higher next year, because hundreds of thousands of people from Wuhuan Xianbei are also arranged near Yanzhou.

Xi Zhicai cupped his hands: "It's all because the lord managed it well, I dare not take credit for it!"

"In addition... the people of Chenliu spontaneously erected a statue in the city for you and Xia Houzhe, the governor of Yanzhou, in order to thank the lord for his lightness and thinness! Do you want to go and see it?"

Hearing that there was a statue, Cao Cao's face became serious!

Act like I'm a saint.

"Cough! If you see this kind of thing in the future, stop it! It's not easy for people to make money!"

"But this time, forget it! Then what... is my statue... handsome?"

The corner of Xi Zhicai's mouth twitched, he knew Cao Cao's character well, he knew that this was a whore and wanted to pay homage...

Obviously very happy, but actually said polite words.

"Handsome! And the statue is so tall!"

Cao Cao coughed lightly with excitement: "Cough! This is all the people's love for me! Looking at the princes of the world, who has such an honor?"

Everyone curled their lips and let Cao Cao boast.

Among so many princes, it is true that only he is the most popular.

"My lord! Last time you announced that you were going to attack Jingzhou, those Jingzhou clans didn't resist and didn't have any opinions."

"But Liu Bei... relied on his Liannu, and said harshly that he wanted to teach the Lord a lesson! He also said that he would beat you into a bereaved dog!"

Guo Jia stood up with a smile on his face, with a relaxed expression.

After Cao Cao heard this, he smiled disdainfully, waved his hands and didn't care at all.

"This Liu Bei... a mouse ate a cow's butt! Rat food is awesome!"

"How dare you speak harsh words to us? Who gave him the courage? Speaking of which...we haven't seen Dabaobei for a long time."

"By the way, Mr. Zhicai, how is my cannon...and steam car modified? The big battle is coming, you need to work harder!"

Cao Cao couldn't wait to take Jingzhou. As long as Jingzhou is settled, half of the world will be in his hands.

By the way, you can also educate and educate Liu Bei!Let him keep a low profile!

Jushou nodded and walked out.

"My lord! There are already a hundred cannons, and they are all mounted on wheels as you ordered!"

"The small one is three meters long, and the big one is about five meters! It can be transported by hundreds of people."

"The six hundred female soldiers... have also put in training, and the training results are very good so far! Under the training of Yuan Yi and Miss Lu, they are no worse than men!"

"Another one-meter-long cannon has been refitted on your Jie Cao, do you want to take a look at it?"

Although Jushou didn't understand why Cao Cao gave the artifact artillery to the Detachment of Women, he didn't dare to ask.

Only Cao Cao knew... because Xia Houzhe paid for the cannons, and the other party also promised to donate two hundred cannons to support him.

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately turned the Detachment of Women into a regular army, and became Cao Ying's bottom-of-the-box team!

The commander is Xia Houzhe, and the deputy commander is Huang Zhong...

It is true that money can turn ghosts around.

Cao Cao didn't want the Detachment of Women to go to the battlefield, but...the other party gave too much.

"Zhongkang, go and bring that stinky boy Yuanyi to the school yard! Let's go and try my integrity number together!"

"If it's easy to use...mass production in the future!"

Cao Cao waved his hand, and Xu Chu immediately left with his hands in his hands and went to Xia Houzhe's house.

Half an hour later, everyone in Cao Ying had appeared in the school grounds.

In the school grounds, there is a long steam car with three large characters written on the body...the number of integrity!

There is a small golden statue of Cao Cao on the roof, grinning.

There is a cannon on the front of the car, and three large crossbows on each side of the car can be used for shooting.

"Huh? Why hasn't Zhongkang come yet?"

Cao Cao frowned, he wanted Xia Houzhe to give him some pointers to see where there were deficiencies.

As soon as the words were finished, Xu Chu rushed over from a distance carrying a reclining chair.

On the reclining chair, there was a handsome boy wearing sunglasses with a helpless expression on his face.

"Tiger, I can walk by myself...let me down!"

"That can't be done! My lord said, I want me to carry you here!"

Crowd: ...

Chapter 769 Sending troops to Jingzhou

Cao Cao is really at ease when Xu Chu handles affairs. Generally, whatever order he gives, the other party will execute it.

There will never be a situation where the positive is obeying the negative!

Xia Houzhe was put on the ground together with the chair and met Cao Cao's eyes, extremely helpless.

"This tiger is good at everything, it's just too honest!"

"By the way, what do you want me to do? I'm blowing the fan well at home, so come here with you to bask in the sun?"

"Do you think I am white and want to make me as black as you?"

Xia Houzhe complained that the autumn tiger is hotter than the summer.

Cao Cao spread out his hands and pointed at Jiecao.

"I can't help it. You are our military advisor and an expert in arms research. I have to check with you before I can rest assured!"

Hearing this series of titles, Xia Houzhe raised his brows, and his face instantly became serious.

"Cough! The one who knows me is the wife Cao Ye! I am so relieved!"

"In that case, my consultant will help you take a look!"

Xia Houzhe acted like a big brother, patted Cao Cao on the shoulder, and nodded in satisfaction.

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched, but he didn't care about it. This girl is a smooth donkey.

As long as you stroke along the hair, it is still very easy to direct.

With his hands behind his back, Xia Houzhe patted and patted around the Jie Cao Hao like a leader.

He climbed into the car again and started the Jie Cao.

"Old Cao, let's go, brothers! Let's drive to the wild to have a fight together!"

Cao Cao glanced at him shyly: "My dear brother, you are so handsome and playful? So many people are here, isn't it good?"

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, and they pointed to the cannon on the knuckles...

"My lord, Yuan Yi may be talking about cannons. What are you thinking about in your head?"

Cao Cao's face darkened, and he got into the car without saying a word, and a group of people drove the Jie Cao to the suburbs.

"How is it? Brother, can this car...can take me to unify the big man?"

Cao Cao looked at him expectantly.

"It's very good. It's fast when it should be fast, and slow when it should be slow. The power is long-lasting and the rhythm is strong."

"Especially the crackling sound, it sounds great! Anyway, it's very comfortable."

Xia Houzhe nodded, this is simply a low-end tank!

A cannon is equivalent to the main gun of a tank, and a continuous crossbow is equivalent to a machine gun...

For this era, it is completely a dimensionality reduction blow!

Cao Cao rubbed his forehead with his hand, his face was extremely ashamed.

"I'm talking about artillery, not piston engines!"

"Cannon? That must be good! But you must do a good job in prevention and control, and the production method and gunpowder ratio must not be disclosed!"

"Otherwise you can use this thing to hit others, and other people can hit you after they make it!"

Xia Houzhe explained to Cao Cao that he didn't want his corpse to be bombed one day to be incomplete.

So what is he doing with so many daughters-in-law?

Although Cao Cao was happy to help him raise him, he himself was not happy!

Cao Cao nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, they are very loyal! I will give these researchers the highest treatment!"

"And their families are also under our control, including... the lives of the researchers themselves!"

"While enjoying my high salary, I also sent the Tiger Guards to monitor them closely, and I will directly punish the Nine Clans for anyone who disagrees!"

After knowing the power brought by technology, Cao Cao regarded technology as very important.
