Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 221 If you say any name, you are hurting him

"Father has also lost weight." Cao Cao's mood quickly calmed down. "It seems that Weng and Yu (er)...haha, Weng and Lu Si Nong seem to have a very happy conversation!"

Surprised by a slip of the tongue, Cao Cao changed the subject...

Cao Song signaled for Cao Cao to sit down, and said in a serious tone: "Many agricultural and financial methods proposed by Lu Si Nong, even if I listen to them for my father, I think they are deafening. Listen!"

"it is good…"

Cao Cao knelt and sat on one side...

Lu Yu cupped his hands slightly, as a salute to Cao Cao...

Now, around a copy of the copybook, Lu Yu, Cao Cao, and Cao Song sat on their knees.

As for the topic of agricultural administration, the conversation is reaching its climax...

"Just now Lu Si Nong proposed the method of 'Min Tun' and 'Military Tunnel'? Can Meng De hear that?" Cao Song asked proactively.

"I heard." Cao Cao nodded, looking at Lu Yu. "The method of 'Min Tun' is to abolish the 'calculation of cows and transport valleys', and re-divide the distribution ratio between the government and the farmer. Of course... there will be some huge calculations in the middle, and if you don't pay attention, you will make mistakes! There will also be some management cost, and there may be some clever farmers who conceal their harvest...but..."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly.

"These problems can be overcome, all you need is a vigorous grain officer!"

In fact... What surprised Cao Cao the most was the concept of "spread into the mu" proposed by Lu Yu. However, due to the powerful clan, it is still impossible to start.

But... the promotion of Mintun can poach tenants from these clans to the greatest extent, thus... step by step, disintegrate the dependence of farmers on wealthy clans, and maybe... a few years later, it is really possible to realize the real possibility of renting every household into the mu.

"What about the army station?" Cao Song continued to ask...

All of a sudden, the conversation between Cao Song and Cao Cao made Lu Yu feel like his father was testing his son?The old Cao family... still have this tradition?

Sure enough... Cao Cao dared not neglect Cao Song's inquiry.

"As Lu Si Nong said, the core of the method of military settlement is to make full use of the soldiers under his command, so that they are no longer just fighting the enemy alone! It is a combination of killing the enemy and farming, and so on...a military salary To be able to do two tasks, the soldiers can participate in farming and be self-sufficient, no matter how many soldiers are recruited, it doesn’t matter! Such a method of agricultural administration that is beneficial but harmless? Why not do it?”

Cao Cao did not hesitate to praise Lu Yu's "army settlement" method.

Of course, this can also be regarded as a routine question when Cao Song meets Cao Cao...

It's been that way since childhood.

When Cao Cao was in the Imperial Academy, Cao Song would ask questions based on what Cao Cao had learned recently, and Cao Cao could often answer them. Of course, the answers were often wrong.

The answer this time sounds like it can get full marks... But in fact, Cao Song is not satisfied.

really.

Cao Cao blurted out these words, Cao Song shook his head, and he also looked towards Lu Yu. "Lu Si Nong's proposal for military settlements is good, but there is a fatal flaw!"

Well…

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yu's expression did not change, but... Cao Cao's eyes froze.

Before Cao Cao could think about it, Cao Song's words had already spread.

"The core of this military camp is to call on all the soldiers to cultivate food and grass, but...Meng De, have you considered the feelings of the soldiers? Will they willingly put down their spears and horses and go to the fields...with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky? But it has nothing to do with the original intention of being a soldier... to make contributions and to make a name for yourself!"

hiss…

As soon as this remark came out, Cao Cao suddenly figured it out.

Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy!
As expected of his father, who has been in charge of Dahan's agricultural administration for many years, he pointed out the shortcomings of the military settlement right away.

What are soldiers for?It is to establish meritorious deeds on the battlefield... to glorify the lintel, so that the family can live a good life.

But...if they put down their horses and spears, instead they pick up hoes and enter the fields...how can they make contributions?And how to glorify the lintel?
Who would resign from a proud warrior?Became a farmer with a humble status in the mud...

It is true that the implementation of military settlements... only needs a decree. Behind this decree, the morale of the soldiers is difficult to guarantee!
... Their moods are bound to fluctuate, and even... they will have resistance when farming, and they will be perfunctory. How effective can such farming be?
Hit the nail on the head…

Father Cao Song's inquiry can be described as hitting the nail on the head.

All of a sudden, Cao Cao's originally sunny mood was once again covered with a layer of haze...

"What my father said is right... We need to improve this method of military settlement."

This is the art of speaking. At this time, Cao Song and Cao Cao were not optimistic about the military settlement, but because the military settlement was proposed by Lu Yu, the two did not show any blame for Lu Yu...

On the contrary, Cao Song transferred the blame to Cao Cao...

As for the son, it's okay to say a few words, even if it's just a few words of scolding, but grandson...he is not willing to let his grandson be wronged in the slightest.

but…

When Cao Song and Cao Cao chatted up to this point, Lu Yu blinked again and again.

He suddenly couldn't understand, this...contribution?Is this a problem?This is not a problem at all!

Why today?
Lao Cao's IQ has plummeted?

Such an easy-to-understand thing... Didn't he notice it?
It seems... Lao Cao and his father Cao Song will become dependent when they are together, and their clever minds are blocked!

Thinking about this...

Lu Yu immediately said: "Grandpa, Mr. Cao... It doesn't seem like it's a problem to make achievements...?"

uh... this?

Both Cao Cao and Cao Song looked at Lu Yu.

At this time, Lu Yu's eyes must be fixed, and he explained again and again. "The old man also mentioned just now that the purpose of the tens of thousands of soldiers serving in the army is to make meritorious deeds and to glorify the lintel. Then... I dare to ask? Why is it only to make meritorious deeds by killing the enemy on the battlefield? Why can't the garrison be glorified to the lintel?"

hiss…

Lu Yu blurted out these words, Cao Cao seemed to understand something...

Could it be... Yu'er wants to...

On the contrary, Cao Songyou was at a loss, and his inherent experience in agricultural administration constrained his thinking, preventing him from thinking more broadly like Cao Cao.

At this time, Lu Yu's explanation continued.

"The reason why you can make meritorious deeds by killing the enemy in battle is because you can make meritorious deeds by killing the enemy in battle. After making meritorious service, ordinary soldiers can be promoted to captains, captains can be promoted to captains, and chiefs can be promoted to centurions... Centurions can be promoted to Army Sima, promoted to General Yamen!"

"The reason why plowing the field sounds humble is because... no matter how the soldiers plow the field, they are still ordinary soldiers! But... just imagine, if there are field officials in the army? What if the status of the field officials is also high? ?”

"For example... to set up a Diannong Zhonglang general, there is no need to give him too much power, as long as his salary is comparable to that of the prefect, and a lower level is set up to set up Diannong Xiaowei, whose salary is equivalent to the county magistrate, and then down...corresponding to the army Chiefs, chiefs, and centurions...can also set up corresponding field officials!"

"Such a high-ranking official and rich salary, such a generous reward? Which soldier would not be tempted? Would he resist? Besides... killing the enemy and doing meritorious service on the battlefield is a huge risk. If the head falls to the ground accidentally, all the previous rewards will be gone, but...there is no risk in farming in the field. It is nothing more than who is more diligent? Who is more down-to-earth? If the status of the official is raised, then naturally... Duke Cao's food and the state treasury's food will continue to flow!"

Speaking of this, Lu Yu paused, seeing Cao Cao and Cao Song were silently thinking, he continued to add:
"Grandfather, Mr. Cao... Lu Yu boldly asks you, killing the enemy on the battlefield is meritorious service? But... growing enough food so that the soldiers will not starve to death, isn't that a great achievement? In a disaster year, Using food to preserve a soldier is a meritorious service... I think it is no less than killing an enemy before the battle!"

Lu Yu said a lot almost in one breath.

But...every sentence revolves around the strategy implemented by the army, and every word is a pearl, so that the more Cao Cao and Cao Song recollect, the more wonderful they feel.

Huo…

After Lu Yu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the main hall was extremely quiet!

Both Cao Cao and Cao Song held their breath and looked at Lu Yu in disbelief.

Yu'er's thoughts are so meticulous, he can be said to have thoroughly understood the psychology of the soldiers of the three armies.

Most likely, when he proposed the law of military settlements, he had already thought of the promotion of the field officials.

Cao Cao was imagining all of a sudden, he can't judge the effect of the military colony, but... back then... the establishment of Captain Mojin really made Cao Cao rich at a time when he was the poorest.

Mojin can still set up "Faqiu Zhonglang General" and "Mojin Xiaowei", so why can't the army station?

It's just a general of Diannong, a lieutenant of Diannong, such an official title... as long as everyone's enthusiasm can be mobilized, Cao Cao can set up a hundred!

The method of making money to get rich is the first, and Yu'er's method of military settlement does not seem to need to be verified at all. This is a feasible strategy that can allow Cao Cao to save a huge amount of food in just a few years!

At this time, blue veins popped out on Cao Cao's forehead...

Because he was so excited, he seemed to have completely forgotten that his father Cao Song was still here. With a "bang...", he slammed the desk case, and the pen holder, inkstone, and tea cup on the copybook flew randomly.

One of the white jade pen holders fell to the ground with a "snap".

This really startled Lu Yu. Looking at Cao Cao's serious expression, Lu Yu wondered, "Old Cao? Do you understand me? It's not like seeing my father today... IQ has dropped so much." Great, right?"

Just now.

Cao Cao and Cao Song looked at each other, and then...

"Hahahaha...hahahaha..." The father and son actually laughed heartily!

The sound of laughter shook the rubble, and the laughter resounded through the sky.

This laugh is in line with Cao Cao's usual style, he just loves to laugh, as long as he encounters happy things or extremely sad things, Cao Cao will definitely laugh, laugh!

At the end of the laugh, Cao Cao squinted his eyes and moved his head closer to Lu Yu's side. "Lu Gongcao, you have solved my Cao Cao's biggest problem. Hahaha, hahahaha..."

In a word, there was another burst of deafening laughter.

Cao Cao is so smart, he couldn't be more clear, what does it mean to solve the food problem under the current situation?
It can be said... After the current drought, all the princes are restricted by food and grass. It is like all the princes are in the water, and whether they can go ashore depends on who can think of a way to store grain!

Exactly... he, Cao Cao, is lucky, because Yu'er has already proposed this method that is bound to be effective at this sensitive time.

"Good, good, good!"

With three good words in a row, Cao Cao did not hesitate to praise Yu'er's military strategy.

Compared with Cao Cao, Cao Song is still pondering carefully. He is a cautious person. Although it sounds foolproof, he still went through the grandson's idea completely in his mind.

He thinks from the perspective of Dasinong, including how to implement it?How to promote?How to mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers of the three armed forces... It can be said that Lu Yu just raised a point, but if it is actually implemented, there are more things to consider.

but…

The more Cao Song thought about it, the more he felt that the strategy of the military colony had no flaws at all, no loopholes, it was perfect!
Just imagine, the identity of the captain of Diannong is equivalent to the county magistrate, and the identity of the general of Diannong Zhonglang is equivalent to the prefect of a county. This is the temptation of Chi Guoguo, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Cao Song is eager to try , I can't wait to take off my shoes immediately, plunge into the pit, and have the urge to cultivate, plow, and farm.

It can be said that grandson's move is really clever!
"Meng De... Do you understand?" Cao Song turned his head to Cao Cao...

Cao Cao nodded. "Tomorrow I will invite the emperor to set up this field official, and the salary will be generous!"

In a word, Cao Cao let out a long breath. Unexpectedly, the biggest obstacle now, the food problem that he had discussed with Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Xun You for many days, was unexpectedly solved today!

After the Diannong Xiaowei and Diannong Zhonglang will be set...

There is no shortage of people to open the wasteland. After the implementation of the military and civilian settlements, the entire Sili, the entire Yanzhou, including Runan County, including the four counties of Xuzhou... Whether it is soldiers or farmers, the enthusiasm for farming must be extremely high!
Ha ha…

Now, at least one or two years, as many as three or four years, Cao Cao will no longer worry about food and grass. Finally... Cao Cao's food problem has been constrained since the beginning of the army. Today... finally has a solution.

Ha ha…

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't stop laughing.

But... the laughter has not yet opened.

Cao Cao suddenly thought of an extra thing...

That's right, the purpose of his coming here was for that matter, that difficult problem concerning the stability of Xu Capital City.

"Ah Weng... I have some important matters to discuss with Lu Sinong!"

Cao Cao's face turned serious all of a sudden, and he took the initiative to speak...

Cao Song knew this son a lot, so he blurted out his words, and Cao Song immediately understood that it must be a private matter.

He immediately stood up slowly...

"Then let's talk first. It just so happens... I have to think about the specific implementation strategy of the military and civilian settlements."

"Thank you, old lady!"

"Thank you father!"

Lu Yu and Cao Cao spoke almost at the same time...

Cao Song has a beard. "You don't have to be polite to me. I have lived in Taishan County for the past two years, and my body has stiffened a lot, but my brain is still not confused. What else can I do for you!"

In a word...

Cao Song got up and walked away.

And Cao Cao's eyes suddenly became more dignified, and his tone became meticulous. "Lu Si Nong has heard that Zi Lian's retainer fell into the hands of Man Chong!"

This…

Lu Yu's eyes were also slightly narrowed.

Whether this matter is big or small... But since Cao Cao asked, then Cao Hong must have taken action. It's fine if he doesn't take action. Once he does... this guest's life may not be saved.

Hehe, Cao Hong would never have thought that the cruel official he met this time was a stubble harder than steel.

...

...

Xu Ducheng, outside the government office...

On this day, Man Chong went to have a light meal early in the morning, and on the way back, he was surrounded by five big men.

"You are Lord Manfu?" Among the five big men, a rather low voice came out.

Immediately afterwards, with a "whoosh", a saber was placed in front of Man Chong.

The steel knife was pulled out, and the sound of breaking the wind suddenly made the atmosphere here extremely cold and dignified.

"My official is Man Chong, who is your Excellency?"

Facing the siege of five big men, Man Chong didn't panic at all, and even raised the corners of his mouth, showing disdain for the long knife in front of him.

"Does Cao Ning know?" The big man threw out a name. "Is that the one you tried last night?"

While speaking, the five burly men moved their knuckles in unison.

"Crack..."

"Crack..."

The bones collided, and the continuous crisp sound was endless. This was a deterrent, and it also showed that the visitor was not good.

"So it's because of him?"

Man Chong's tone was still very flat, as if the five strong men in front of him were nothing more than... clowns.

"If it's him, I advise everyone to leave as soon as possible! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

Humph…

The big man at the head let out a cold snort, and then placed a bag full of gold in front of Man Chong. He held the gold in one hand and the saber in the other.

"Let Cao Ning go, and the gold will be yours, otherwise... our sword doesn't know Manfu Lord?"

Speaking of this, the big man narrowed his eyes tightly.

"Mr. Manfu, we don't offend the river, the people behind Cao Ning...you can't afford to offend!"

Unexpectedly, when the big man spoke, Man Chong moved, not only he moved, but also the court staff on his waist.

The speed with which he raised his hand was extremely fast, and in a flash, one met five...

And obviously, the reaction of these five strong men was a bit slow, and they were even more apprehensive about their moves...

In the blink of an eye, all five big men fell to their knees, and their leg joints were all seriously injured by Man Chong's imperial staff!

"Clap clap..."

Man Chong clapped his hands, as if after the battle, he clapped the dust on his hands... Similarly, this is also a signal.

All of a sudden, the surrounding yamen servants came out in no time, one by one pulled out their sabers and put them on the necks of these five big men, and there were also a group of ordinary people who walked out!
At the same time, Man Chong's cold voice came out one after another.

"Hmph, I can't rub the sand in my beloved eyes! It's all over now, one becomes six, and the evil is eliminated, and the law will not be merciful!"

As soon as these words came out, the five big men were almost scared to pee.

"...Master Manfu, do you really want to offend... General Li Feng?"

"Could it be... General Li Feng must come over, you... are you going to give in?"

As soon as this statement comes out…

All the yamen servants looked at Man Chong, but Man Chong said unhurriedly:

——"General Li Feng? Hehe, who is it?"

——"Hmph, I'm going to tell you, it doesn't matter who comes. There are so many yamen servants, and the whole city is looking at you. If you say anyone's name, you are harming him!"

——"Hehe, my lord advises you to be honest now, don't name anyone, if you still treat him as your master, just confess your crime honestly!"

With these words blurted out, Man Chong's eyes became even colder, as if they had been quenched in ice for 1 years.
