Chapter 616: Internal Affairs (1)
In the ninth year of Hongwu, the 200,000 army of Wei, under the leadership of various generals, pacified Liaodong and destroyed Goguryeo.
The Ming Zheng punishment of a country's national army in front of the public was shocking to the people of Wei, but at the same time, it also greatly improved their self-confidence, and some elderly people said to their grandson with emotion that the king of a foreign country was executed for offending the imperial court, and he had not seen it for a long time!
After the pacification of Goguryeo, it is obvious that there will be no peace in Goguryeo itself, which can be seen from the fact that a large number of Jinyi guards lurk in Goguryeo, and at the same time, many Goguryeo people are secretly executed almost every day, which can be seen from the unrest in Goguryeo!
Goguryeo is not calm, Cao Cao thinks it is normal, so he doesn't care, he just tells the people of Jinyi Wei to keep an eye on those restless Goguryeo people, and if there is anything wrong, kill!
Liaodong and Goguryeo were pacified, and the tentacles of Wei finally extended to Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula, and in addition to restoring the four counties of Han and setting up the 21st and 22nd local Gongwei regiments on top of the four counties, Cao Cao also integrated Goguryeo, which had fallen into the White Terror, into a single county, called Haidong County.
For the people of Wei, the excitement and shock, the excitement of the nine years of Hongwu has become a thing of the past, and now it is the ten years of Hongwu of the Great Wei.
In the time and space of the previous life, this year was two hundred and seven years when the war became more and more intense, and in this year, Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang out of the thatched house, in this year. Cao Cao's Chibi was defeated, and the only opportunity to unify the whole country was lost. Since then, the world has been divided into three parts, and the blood of the Han people has been exhausted in the civil war. It has laid the groundwork for the dark era of Wuhu Chaohua in the future!
However, in this time and space, the northern grasslands and the Wei army pacified, the Han people's cities appeared on the grassland for the first time, due to the revitalization of commerce, some extremely rich people, inevitably hooked up with officials, this is inevitable, and there is no way to avoid it!
There are pros and cons to everything, the respect of wealthy businessmen and officials. Although it has brought certain social hidden dangers, it also makes the grassland less easy to separate!
There is only one view of land in successive dynasties, that is, it is usable and unusable, and it is precisely because of this that the truly rich Central Plains and Jiangnan in China have never been abandoned, and the unrich and remote places, such as Liaodong, Tibet, Xinjiang and other places in later generations. If it really comes to the point where you can't hold it, giving up has almost become the mainstream!
The grassland was similar to the Han dynasty before, but now. Due to the revitalization of commerce, merchants poured into the grasslands, cattle, sheep, horses and other things on the grasslands. As long as it is transported to the Central Plains, it can get several times the profit. This made the businessmen like they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they kept pouring into the grassland!
And there are many merchants who flock to the grasslands. Then there are also many people who pay taxes, and the grassland has gradually become a piece of fat in the minds of officials from a dispensable place!
Give up the fat, that's simply self-inflicted!
When Cao Cao held a great court meeting one day, it was not uncommon to receive a recital from the county guards in the north, the words in which were different, but the meaning was the same, that is, to continuously build a city on the grassland, in order to finally incorporate the entire grassland into Zhuxia!
Under the interests of the officials, the action of the northern officials can be said to be beyond Cao Cao's imagination, at least in addition to the city of the northern capital protectorate on the grassland, the other five cities have been gradually built, of course, the labor force is all barbarians of various ethnic groups who have been captured in the northwest!
Fortifications are being built on the grassland, and the four counties of Liaodong are also recovering, of course, there are indispensable merchants who continue to enter and exit Liaodong and the Central Plains and even the northern grasslands, as for Haidong County, under the supervision of Jinyiwei, it has not yet come from the White Terror!
What happened in the ninth year of Hongwu, the common people were bored, but they could also take it out and talk about it, from which they once again felt pride and pride, and they were even more in awe and worship of Cao Cao!
Cao Cao, who was worshiped by the people, was not idle, and convened six ministries in three provinces, no, it should be seven, and the Ministry of Commerce was officially promoted to the same status as the other six ministries at this year's Great Court Meeting.
This person's name is Zhang Xi, he was "graduated" from the Chen Capital Academy, this person's other talents are compared to anyone who left his name in this era, it is simply impossible to see, but the talent above business is beyond most people in this era!
Even Xun Yu once told Cao Cao that in terms of business, he is indeed inferior to Wangjiang, and this Wangjiang is Zhang Xi's word!
Cao Cao summoned these ministers this time for only one reason, and that was about the flying pigeon!
"The use of flying pigeons to convey urgent matters, since the Spring and Autumn Period, however, since the Spring and Autumn Period, the matter of flying pigeons passing on books, seems to only happen on the battlefield, I wondered, can we promote this time, not only for war, but also for other aspects, if it can be successful, I think, then this matter for the country and the people, are of great benefit!"
In this day and age, even in areas where the straight road is completely completed, such as the area of Nichiju and Youzhou, the news conveyed between the two states must take several days through fast horses, and only two days at most through flying pigeons.
Cao Cao's idea is very simple, that is, to treat the flying pigeon as the post station of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and compared with the post station of the Ming Dynasty, the alternative post station of the flying pigeon not only has a smaller probability of trouble, but also can play a greater role!
After Cao Cao said the idea of the flying pigeon-shaped post station, he waited for the reaction of the Wei ministers below!
"Your Majesty, although this post station is good, it is not only that there are few people who can train flying pigeons, but more importantly, if flying pigeons are popularized, in the future war, the flying pigeon transmission issued by our army is likely to be intercepted by the enemy." Xun Yu frowned and said.
Anything, once it is promoted, then there will be no confidentiality, Cao Cao also understands this truth, and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo rest assured, I have already thought of this matter, and I already have a solution to this matter!" ”
Cao Cao's method, in the eyes of later generations, is not worth mentioning, that is, the military password, but in this era, unless it is the same as Cao Cao, otherwise even if the simplest password comes out, even if it is obtained by the enemy, there is no need to worry about being seen by the other party!
