Cao Cao, who burned the paper in his hand, looked at the dark one kneeling on the ground with complicated eyes, and it was not until the dark one's head was covered with cold sweat that he exhaled and waved him down.

Feeling the dark one of the murderous aura that flashed on Cao Cao's body just now, he quickly retreated with a trembling heart and a sigh of relief, and at the same time made up his mind to forget all the ins and outs of this time!

The day after the Great Purge in the North, Cao Cao once again convened the civil and military officials above the fifth grade in the main hall of Deyang, and held a great court meeting.

On the high royal dragon chair, Cao Cao was dressed in a formal suit, and the sun, moon and stars were embroidered on the dragon robe, which made the majestic aura on Cao Cao's body more and more intense.

After kneeling three times and knocking nine times, Cao Cao stretched out his hand to help him, and the civil and military took his seat, in the past, the hundred officials should have begun to speak, but at this time, there was silence.

At this time, the Great Wei Dynasty was divided into two major factions, namely the Hanmen and the Family, for the Hanmen officials, they were able to go to the court, almost all of them were supported by Cao Cao, so in this case, without Cao Cao's signal, the Hanmen officials were very smart and did not speak out prematurely, to be the first bird.

And for the officials of the family, they are even more daring, after all, they all have the background of the Great Purge in the North and the purge of officials, and they are all from the Northern Family, among which the commercial families in the North account for the majority.

The family of the world is one person, and they are all related to each other, although the northern merchant family. It is generally said to be looked down upon by those families who inherit the fragrance of books, but no matter what, it is the world!

This time they were purged. The scholarly families in the Central Plains and Hebei can be said to be related, and the rabbit and the fox are sad. Just this time the big disaster caused by the family made them dare not say anything!

If he becomes a bird and a thorn in Cao Cao's side because of this, there is really no place to cry!

Cao Cao had already expected such a scene, and he also had a way to deal with it, so he threw out the first mine unhurriedly, that is, the restriction on businessmen!

This time the great earthquake in the north removed Cao Cao's intervention in the later period. In addition to remote control, it can be said that it is entirely because of those merchants who are not restricted, if it weren't for them jumping up and down, it can be said that Cao Cao wants to solve the north, and the time that caused this major earthquake will be postponed for at least two or three years.

For these merchants, the officials of the family above the court can be said to hate it very much, and it was not long before Cao Cao threw out this topic. An official of the family immediately jumped out and said: "Your Majesty, a businessman, a profit-seeker, has no king, no father, no people, and no family in his heart. There is no courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame, and between the ministers, the court should issue a strict order. Put an end to the merchants! ”

There is no father, no people, no family and country, and there is no such short word of courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame. It can be described as very vicious, if these words are really conceded by Cao Cao. And spread the word of the world, from now on, at least for a hundred years, there will never be any businessman!

Just because in this environment, the businessmen who are said on the table are absolutely disgusted by the common people!

Why is this family businessman like this, how can Cao Cao not know in his heart, how can he not be named, what the northern businessman did, although Cao Cao was disgusted in his heart, but Cao Cao will not waste food because of choking, at least, not to mention the merchants, the taxes that can be collected from them, compared to the common people, it is much more!

Cao Cao spent so much effort this time and became a behind-the-scenes villain for a while, not just to clean up the northern officialdom, after all, the northern officialdom is not much far from the ripe fruit, it is more to take this opportunity to issue new policies to restrict businessmen, and at the same time use the topic to collect more taxes from them!

Although the emperor is the supreme ruler of ancient times, the top of the pyramid society, it does not mean that the emperor can do whatever he wants, on the contrary, most of the time, the emperor has to follow the rules more than anyone else, because they are the ones who make the rules, and if even they don't follow them, then others don't have to obey them!

The authority of the Emperor lies in the fact that he is the one who sets the rules, and at the same time holds the loopholes of the rules, so they are supreme!

It's not impossible for an emperor to change the rules, but most of the time, the emperor who changes the rules often becomes the king of the dead country or the faint king!

The successive reforms above history are actually equivalent to the changes to the rules set by the emperor at the beginning, among which there are successes, but more are failures, and after failures, they are often followed by prosperity and decline!

As for imposing heavy taxes on businessmen, causing them not to develop on their own or anything, Cao Cao never took it to heart, the capitalist society or something, it is impossible in this era, and at the same time Cao Cao doesn't want him to appear!

If the monster of capital wants to appear, the soil needed is definitely not what the current Great Wei can have, so allowing businessmen to have too much vitality and development is not a good phenomenon for Cao Cao.

Merchants pursue profits, no king and no country is not just talking, even later generations have such businessmen, not to mention the ancient China that is now more than 190 years before the country!

Therefore, the positioning of the merchant is a card in Cao Cao's hand, a card that is dead, and at the same time can provide a lot of benefits!

Thinking like this, Cao Cao set his eyes on Fu Zhu, he believed that this Hubu Shangshu, who was about to be driven crazy by money, could easily solve this initial problem for himself.

Sure enough, Frustrated, who didn't even see Cao Cao's gaze, immediately jumped out and opened fire on the official!

Frustration is not stupid or stunned, but because he is really about to be driven crazy by money, the current Wei State can be said to use money everywhere, and a large part of the manpower and money are provided through these slave traders, if all the merchants are killed and stopped, where do you let him go to get so much money and people, and build roads, water conservancy facilities, and Chang'an Palace!

Frustrated by this Hubu Shangshu, the family official also reluctantly retreated, but obviously this time the family officials above the court were provoked, just went down, and another came up!

Above the court, gradually from silent to noisy, seeing that the atmosphere above the court is becoming more and more tense, as if to stage a full martial arts, Cao Cao finally moved!

A slight cough sound was not very conspicuous above the Deyang Palace, but it instantly quieted the Deyang Palace, and the eyes of the hundred officials were all on Cao Cao above. (To be continued......)
