Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 788 Be Lu Buwei!
"Brother-in-law, Xiao Cao is back!"

Chang'an, An Ding Fang is the prime minister's mansion in name, but actually Daxingtai's office, before the door was opened, a burst of rustling sound came in from outside the door, and then, with a red face, the third young master of Wei came strolling outside the door Come in, and immediately after seeing someone, he is full of excitement and enthusiasm to greet him.

Feeling good about himself, Cao Zhang slapped his hands with a smile: "It's only been half a year, brother-in-law doesn't have to miss me so much..., miss me..."

The voice was awkward, because Wang Hou didn't look at him at all, he went straight past the guy, but suddenly hugged Chang Le, who was one step behind, into his arms.

"Stinky girl! How dare you run away secretly! You don't even say hello to Dad, ouch, I miss you so much!"

Now Wang Hou has fully experienced the mentality of being an old father-in-law in later generations. After finally raising potted flowers, watering, fertilizing, and loosening the soil, she was raised and cared for beautifully, but at any time, there might be a guy named son-in-law even The flower took the pot away, and he couldn't chase after it. Looking at Changle now, he obviously has this feeling.

The little mind turned by Wang Hou was completely confused, Chang Le patted him on the shoulder helplessly: "Stop turning, Dad! I'm dizzy!"

"Say hello to you, can you still let me go?"

"Certainly not! Is the battlefield a place where you, a girl, go to every family? This knife and gun has no eyes, let dad see if it is injured, hey! Why did you leave a scar on your face? Who did it? Your dad I'm going to seek revenge on him and destroy his whole family!"

"No need, dad, I've already killed him with my own hands! Don't talk about this, why can't I go to the battlefield? Back then, my mother could run around with grandpa and daddy? Why?"

"Your mother is a female man, can you compare with her!"

Listening to the father and daughter chattering here, Cao Zhang's sad old face became darker and darker, and in the end he also roared helplessly.

"Brother-in-law! Xiao Zhang is back! You should take a look!"

But looking back, Wang Hou rolled his eyes with contempt.

"Who are you?"

…………

To be honest, if he could go back, Wang Hou really wanted to send Cao Zhang back to Yecheng, and let old man Cao take it with him.I finally re-established a good relationship with Cao Wei's successor Cao Pi, but Cao Cao casually ruined it.

And how long Mr. Cao can live, Wang Hou really can't remember!But the last few times we met, it is certain that Cao Cao is getting old!At his age, it is extremely dangerous to try to change the crown prince. If one fails, it may cause a full-scale civil war in the empire. It is impossible for Cao Pi to hand over the power of the crown prince willingly. It has been formed, all kinds of kneeling and licking without limit, unscrupulous collection and elimination of dissidents, and a considerable scale of the Central Plains family has been bought by him.

For example, the Sima family in Hedong, who was born in Sima Yi!

Cao Cao's politics is to promote talents without seeing his background, but Cao Pi is now the spokesperson of a big family. In the past two years, the Central Plains has recognized officials, and more and more children from aristocratic families have held high positions. Now Cao Cao wants to change course and kick Cao Pi Go on, what can the family do?

Wang Hou doubted that even Cao Cao, in the few years before his death, was powerless to control the direction of the court, especially after Cao Pi promised so many benefits, he had not yet fulfilled the counterattack that the Central Plains family would do their best to counterattack.

This is tantamount to placing Cao Zhang and Wang Hou behind him directly on the opposite side of most of the Central Plains families.

Of course, the benefits are not without, just like the sentence at the end of the first paragraph of Jia Xu's secret letter to himself.

You should be Lu Buwei!

Lu Buwei is also a businessman. After seeing Ying Yiren, he felt that strange goods can be lived in. He helped Ying Yiren obtain the position of Prince Qin. , and he is an official and businessman, much more powerful than Lu Buwei. Cao Zhang is the downcast prince. If he can be promoted to the throne of Wei Wang, and even become emperor with Wei Daihan, his political benefits will naturally be much greater than that of Lu Buwei. .

It's just that compared with Lu Buwei, Wang Hou doesn't have such a big desire for power and ambition. Now he is enough to be a Daxingtai in Guanzhong. Set up a small stall to live comfortably.

It's a pity that, like Cao Zhang, the situation does not depend on his will. Cao Cao made a move, and he can only continue to follow the move.

Fortunately, among the messy things that Cao Zhang brought, the pacification of the Western Regions happened to be what he tried his best to do!The only one who catered to the needs of Daxingtai in Guanzhong, and took away Sima Yi, who was an eyesore, by the way.

After being intimate with her precious daughter for a while, Chang Le, whose little face was pinched red by Wang Hou, ran out of the room as if fleeing for his life, but he put Cao Zhang in the leading role again.

Sitting on the other side of the desk, this guy danced with excitement, he didn't look like a son of a clan who had stepped into the vanity fair.

"Brother-in-law, you have to thank me very much this time. Do you know how many people Cao Ziwen brought back from Kanto this time? One hundred thousand! One hundred thousand!!!"

"Yangshan Gold Mine gets [-]% of my shares! Jingshan Iron Mine also wants [-]%! These are the labor force of middle-aged people! My brother-in-law and brother-in-law have to settle accounts! Don't bargain with me!"

It is indeed enough for Cao Zhang to be proud!This time Cao Cao was also generous enough, the [-] rebels who surrendered in Wancheng, and the [-] people who rebelled in Luhun and other places, all of them were brought to Kansai in the name of exile!Wang Houshou Guanxi suffered from either a lack of land or a lack of population.

During the period of Emperor Wei Ming, the number of household registrations in the imperial court was estimated at 300 million, but in fact, nearly twice the population was not on the household registration books, including ethnic minorities who did not belong to the Han people, and servants of major families. According to later generations, Cao Wei The population of China is about 2000 million to 500 million.

But now under Wang Hou's command, the territory even surpasses the Central Plains, but even if the Qiang people, Xianbei people, Wuhuan people, Goguryeo people and Fuyu people are added to the naturalized "Han people", in fact, the population in his hands is only Around 300 million is a little over one-tenth of the Central Plains.

A population of more than [-] young and strong is really a big gift!Enough for Wang Hou to dig out the iron and gold mines hidden in the mountains of Longshang!
It's just that when Cao Zhang was still immersed in exchanging population for money, and then went to Chang'an to spend time, bet on horses and reward anchors to live a prodigal life, Wang Hou shook his head solemnly.

"These are trivial matters. After you go back for a while, you will immediately be dismissed from your position as the general of the Chang'an Corps!"

"No! Brother-in-law, I won the battle! Why did you come back and dismiss me?"

Immediately dumbfounded, the tables were lined up, and the third young master Cao was even more aggrieved and jumped up.

Without answering his dissatisfaction, Wang Hou stared at his handsome old face more seriously, and asked in a very serious manner.

"Ziwen, do you want to be king of Wei?"
