Chapter 812: Developing Jiangnan
Thank you GZ2F22 for a monthly pass!
"There is still such a complicated situation in the eastern part of this little dog slave country!"
Cao Cao couldn't help but say in surprise, "What is the strength of her Python Country and Tiger Country?" โ
Lu Su replied: "She has a population of 300,000 in the Python Country and 250,000 in the Tiger Country, both of which are stronger than the Lie Ce Country, and the Leopard Country has the same population as the Lie Ce Country, 200,000. โ
Cao Cao couldn't help frowning, "In this way, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do anything about the rebellion of Lie Ceguo this time!" โ
Turning his head, he asked Jia Xu, "Wenhe, what do you think?" โ
Cao Cao originally thought that Jia Xu would give up his original idea, but he didn't want him to say categorically: "Your Majesty, Weichen still thinks that he should intervene!" โ
"Oh!?"
Jia Xu explained: "Regarding the reasons for the intervention, Weichen will not repeat it, only talk about the conditions, on the surface, the situation of the Liece country is indeed very unfavorable, but there are a few points to note, first, the policy adopted by the dog slave country in the east is not suitable, and often oppresses these small countries, so the countries and the dog slave country can be said to be inseparable, although the matter of the wife of the king of the Lie Ce country is only the matter of the Lie Ce country, but this matter is afraid that it will also have a great impact on other countries, people will think, today is the wife of the king of the Lie Ce country, And what about tomorrow? โ
Cao Cao and Lu Su couldn't help but nodded.
Jia Xu continued: "Second, she python country and tiger country have never been very obedient to the dog slave country, and now that the two countries are bigger, I am afraid that now I don't want to be controlled by the dog slave country all the time, and third, these two people have always been greedy, and the king is even worse. โ
Jia Xu arched his hand towards Cao Cao, "Your Majesty." We can use these points to make this rebellion in the dog slave country develop in our favor! โ
Cao Cao couldn't help but nodded and glanced at Jia Xu. said: "I generally understand what Wenhe means. โ
Cao Cao turned his head to look at Lu Su, and Lu Su understood. After a little thought, he said: "Weichen thinks that what Wenhe said makes sense, but Weichen thinks that everything should be safer, and this matter seems to be a bit risky!" โ
Cao Cao smiled, and secretly said that this Lu Su seems to be no different from the Lu Su in the book of later generations! Cautious, good at keeping the results, but cunning and enterprising are not enough!
Cao Cao sat down on the dragon chair and pondered, and the two stood quietly respectfully under His Highness, knowing that Cao Cao was weighing the pros and cons.
After a moment, Cao Cao raised his head. He said decisively: "I have decided to intervene in this rebellion in the country of the dog slaves!" โ
"Your Majesty, this ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Lu Su looked a little anxious.
Cao Cao raised his hand to interrupt Lu Su's words and said, "This dog slave country is unusual, and his strength must be weakened as much as possible!" It's impossible not to take risks! Between the pros and cons, I feel that the pros outweigh the disadvantages! โ
Seeing that Cao Cao's determination had been decided, Lu Su arched his hand and said: "Since Your Majesty has made up your mind, Weichen must go all out!" โ
Cao Cao smiled and nodded, "Pass the order." Qingzhou County Shou Zhong Xuan immediately took charge of all the logistics tasks for this matter, and Wen He immediately went to Fusang to take full responsibility for this matter! โ
"Command!" The two agreed together.
"Your Majesty, do you want to discuss this matter with Wen Ru and them?" Lu Su said.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment. "It's still the middle of the night, but it's urgent! Just bother the two of them to visit Wen Ruo and them separately, and Chen said about it! I'll make the final decision tomorrow morning]"
"The minister commands," the two promised. Then he withdrew from the Qianqing Palace.
Early the next morning, Cao Cao, who had hardly slept all night, went to court on time. Cao Cao did not talk about yesterday's decision in the early court, and many of the ministers in this court came from the previous dynasty and the fallen princes. Cao Cao was not at ease with them.
After Cao Cao met with several ministers in the Qianqing Palace, after that, Jia Xu immediately rushed to Qingzhou with Cao Cao's orders and guards, and at the same time, Chang'an's First Army, Fifth Army, Third Army and Xuanjia Cavalry also received Cao Cao's preparation order.
Xun Yu came to the Qianqing Palace with a stack of copywriting, and at this time, Xun Yu was concentrating on reviewing the chapters.
"Your Majesty." Xun Yu called softly.
Cao Cao raised his head, saw Xun Yu, put down the music in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's Wen Ruo." โ
noticed the copywriting in his hand, so he asked, "Wenruo, what is in your hand?" โ
Xun Yu glanced at the copywriting in his hand and replied: "Your Majesty, these are all copywriting that needs to be reviewed, Weichen has been classified, please take a look!" โ
Xun Yu submitted the copy.
Cao Cao opened a piece of copy, looked at it twice, and raised his head, "This is about farming and fortifications?" โ
"Yes." Xun Yu said.
Cao Cao nodded, then looked at it seriously, nodding from time to time, his face sometimes relieved and sometimes contemplative
About half an hour later, Cao Cao put down the chapter, rubbed his slightly swollen temples, and said with some emotion: "I didn't expect that the results in the past half a year would be so outstanding, and the most unexpected thing is that the rice in the south was successfully planted in two seasons and had a bumper harvest, good!" That's great! โ
Last year, when Cao Cao left Chang'an to take up his post in Jiangnan, he told him to pay attention to the matter of late rice, because Cao Cao vaguely remembered that the cultivation of two crops of rice seemed to have appeared very early, but it had not been effectively promoted for more than a thousand years.
Although Tian Feng was erudite, he was also surprised, but he still firmly recorded Cao Cao's words in his heart, and he didn't want to really have a harvest this year.
Xun Yu said: "Rice is suitable for growing in Yangzhou and Jingzhou, if we can promote two-season planting in a large area, then our Dawei is equal to another Bashu land!" โ
Xun Yu looked a little excited when he said this.
Cao Cao smiled and nodded, and thought about it: "Now there are only 100,000 mu, this amount is too small!" โ
Raising his head, he ordered: "Later, send an order to Tian Feng, let him let go and let me do it, it is best to reclaim it in Dongting Lake, Duyang Lake, Taihu Lake, which are rich in water sources and the surrounding terrain is flat!" At the same time, we will promote two crops of rice in the existing paddy fields as much as possible! โ
Xun Yu arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty is wise!" โ
"By the way, I almost forgot one thing, do you know the two of Zao Yu and Han Hao?" Cao Cao asked.
Xun Yu nodded and said, "These two people, Wei Chen has heard of them!" โ
Cao Cao nodded, "These two have already been obedient, they are not only proficient in agricultural affairs, but also seem to be very obsessed with this matter, the reason why they were not allowed to do things before was to let them go to various places to see the characteristics of my Great Wei agricultural land." Now that these two people have returned, hehe, I can't imagine that they have given me a proposal of 10,000 words! โ
Cao Cao took out a letter from the desk and handed it to Xun Yu, and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo can see what they say!" โ
Xun Yu flipped through it carefully, and Cao Cao took a sip of tea and waited.
A quarter of an hour later, Xun Yu returned the letter to Cao Cao and said with some emotion: "Your Majesty, these two people really have unique insights into agricultural affairs!" (To be continued.) )
