Chapter 629: Catastrophe
"Cao Cao has been in Tuntian for several months?!" Ma Chao angrily threw the report in his hand to the ground, his face was pale and terrifying.
"Chao'er, you know it too. These days, the shadows of the Ma family are all concentrated in Sili and Yu Yan Erzhou, even if they only learned the news of Cao Cao Tuntian at this time, it has no impact on the Ma family, right? Diao Chan stepped forward and picked up the report on the ground. She couldn't figure out why Ma Chao had such a big reaction after learning the news of Cao Cao's Tuntian.
"Nothing?" Ma Chao smirked twice, and said weakly: "Cicada, you remember, I told you, when did Cao Cao come to Tuntian?" ”
"The first year of Jian'an, according to you, is 196 AD." Diao Chan never forgot it, especially the things she said in the afterlife, she remembered it clearly.
"Yes, but now is the first year of Xingping, and it is still the name of the era that Liu Xie changed indiscriminately. If calculated according to the Common Era, this year is 193, that is, Cao Cao began to implement the Tuntian policy three years in advance. And in three years, it is conceivable how much grain Cao Cao will accumulate! Ma Chao laughed bitterly, and in the end, there was Jin Shi's generous indignation.
Diao Chan didn't know, but Ma Chao definitely knew how important Cao Wei's tuntian system was to Cao Cao. At the end of the Han Dynasty, everything seemed to revolve around only two factors: one was population, and the other was grain and grass. Having a population is nothing, but if a prince has enough food to feed a larger population, then a fool can also think that with enough population and enough food and grass, he can easily form a large and heroic army to crush any opponent.
In the first year of Jian'an in history, Cao Cao adopted the suggestions of his subordinates Zao Qi, Han Hao and others, and used the materials seized from the Yellow Turban to recruit people to Tuntian. Cao Cao tasted the sweetness, so he ordered the establishment of field officials in various prefectures and counties to set up tuntian.
In other words, Cao Cao in history only realized the core problem of the late Han Dynasty in 196 AD. According to the history books, when Cao Cao practiced Tuntian, he said: The art of determining the country lies in strengthening the army and having enough food, and the Qin people are eager to farm and the world; Xiaowu to Tuntian set the Western Regions, this ancestor of the good style also.
And Cao Wei's tuntian did effectively solve the grain problem of Cao Cao's group. In view of the loss of population and the barren fields at that time, Cao Cao successively adopted methods such as recruiting displaced people, migrating the population, persuading farmers to teach mulberry crops, building water conservancy, and checking household registration, so as to enrich the household organization and restore agricultural production. In addition, Cao Cao also issued decrees one after another to restore the normal rent adjustment system to prevent the powerful from annexing small farmers.
In the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao promulgated a new expropriation system, and in the ninth year of Jian'an, he made it clear: "He collects four liters of land rent, and the household produces two horses of silk and two catties of cotton, and he is not allowed to prosper without permission." The series of measures implemented by Cao Cao before and after finally made the yeoman peasant economy on the verge of collapse continue to recover and develop, all of which became the strong economic foundation of Cao Cao's group. Through the above two measures, agricultural production in Cao Cao's ruled area was quickly restored.
But now, Cao Cao implemented the tuntian system three years ahead of schedule, although there must be a shadow of Liu Xie in it. But it is conceivable that three years can make Cao Cao take less detours, save how much war primitive accumulation and the Three Kingdoms cattle belong to Cao Cao, this is an indisputable fact in the world, Ma Chao traveled to the Three Kingdoms era, naturally unwilling and afraid to see Cao Cao's rapid development.
"How did the Shadow find out about Cao Cao's Tuntian?" Ma Chao calmed down and asked.
"Yuan Shu moved his troops to Chen Liu, and the garrison Fengqiu wanted to eat Luyang. From this, the shadow traced all the way, and only then did he find the news that Cao Cao was in Xuchang Tuntian" Diao Chan opened his mouth to reply, but suddenly found that Ma Chao's face suddenly became even paler.
'In 193 AD, Yuan Shu attacked Cao Cao, is it a historical necessity? Or did Liu Xie let Cao Cao Tuntian change history, which made Yuan Shu covet Yanzhou? Ma Chao didn't dare to think about it, he felt that this history had become more and more detached from its original trajectory. And in addition to knowing some history inexplicably, he Ma Chao is still just an ordinary person, although he is not stupid, but in the world of elites like clouds in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, the gap still seems so big.
Taking the suppression of the Si Li mob two days ago, Ma Chao thought that he had done it to the extreme. But his plan to hide from the world and the sea, still did not completely extinguish the fire of rebellion among the people of Sili, if it were not for Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Fa Zheng, Xun You, Li Ru and others to take action in time and come up with that big plan to steal the sky, the Ma family might have been ruined on their own ignorance and arrogance. Watching those people talking and laughing stirred up the storm outside the Seychelles, hooked the hearts of all the victims in the Sili area, so that those mob rebels could be cleaned up in an orderly manner, and successfully made all the victims in the Sili area return to their hearts. Ma Chao sincerely felt that he was really different from the people of this era.
Even though Ma Chao himself also made a move in the meantime, allowing Yu Fuluo to take advantage of the bewitchment of the glass wolf sculpture, so that both the Qiang and Yu Fuluo benefited greatly, but Guo Jia casually said the elegant demeanor of letting the Qiang people encircle and annihilate the reinforcement strategy, which deeply amazed Ma Chao. There are also Jia Fox's economic success, Fa Zheng's Ren Xia cleverness, Li Ru's one step and three poisons, Xun You's overall planning, and Yang Fu's comprehensive and meticulous work, Ma Chao feels that he is really beyond his reach.
"Chao'er, what's wrong with you?" After seeing Ma Chao listening to his report, Diao Chan walked quickly to Ma Chao and asked with concern, "Why is your face suddenly so ugly?" Could it be that he is sick? As she spoke, Diao Chan stretched out her Qianqianyu hand and touched Ma Chao's forehead.
"Sick?" Ma Chao seems to have suddenly realized this problem: since he has traveled to the present, he Ma Chao has relied on his strong physique, and he has not been invaded by cold and heat, except for the trauma left by several battles, he has really forgotten the illness.
"It's scary!" Diao Chan finished trying Ma Chao's forehead, worried, and opened his mouth to blame himself: "These days, you have been almost endless, worried and overworked, and you have already overdrawn your body. And the concubine, as a wife of the Ma family, didn't even notice that someone was coming, so she quickly took the ice cubes! ”
But under this shouting order, the servants were not summoned to bring ice cubes. saw Chen Haojie running to the lobby sweating profusely, and said with a flustered expression: "Lord! Big things are not good!! ”
Since Chen Haojie got married to Ma Chao that day, Ma Chao has not forgotten Chen Haojie and informed Wusi. And Chen Haojie also lived up to Ma Chao's expectations, passed Ma Jiajun's test in one fell swoop, and became a personal guard by Ma Chao's side. It's just that not long after Chen Haojie entered the Ma family, although the military orders and rules were memorized, he still showed a lack of evidence in a hurry at the moment of panic.
"Presumptuous! Shangshutai is heavy, is it a place for you, a little guard, to roar loudly?! Diao Chan has been leading the shadow for several years, and at this time, under the anxiety, he is even more powerful, so that Chen Haojie fell to his knees at once.
"What?" Ma Chao is almost the person who cares least about etiquette in this era, especially for Chen Haojie, who is simple in nature. After giving Diao Chan a look not to be pursued, he asked in a dry voice.
"Ah, yes, my lord, something is wrong!" Chen Haojie was shocked by the brightness and majesty of Diao Chan, and didn't react for a while, but after hearing Ma Chao's voice, he said loudly and anxiously: "Lord, go outside the city to have a look!" The locusts you are talking about have become a plague!! ”
When Ma Chao heard this, he suddenly felt even more dry and weak, and muttered only one sentence: "Chen Haojie, your name is really worthy of the name."
Then, Ma Chao felt a whirlwind again, and collapsed directly into Diao Chan's arms. And Diao Chan saw Ma Chao like this, the anger in his chest almost burned through the entire Shangshutai, and he shouted: "Someone! Drag this guard who doesn't know the rules out and cut it for me!! ”
"Lord, help!" Chen Haojie was so frightened that he cried and fainted in the lobby
