Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 847
The era of the Three Kingdoms seems to have ended just at the beginning, but from another perspective, it started again more intensely. After all, Guanxi, which destroyed the Shu Han, carried the banner of the Wei State in name, but it was from top to bottom. It is almost a self-contained country, and the government orders are all issued from the Daxingtai Staff Council, and different from the traditional local government, there are commercial guilds in power in the Western Wei Dynasty, and the guilds composed of big merchants manage their own. The industry and its employees are not affected by Yecheng at all.

Especially after the pacification of Bashu, the open and secret struggle between the Eastern and Western Weis had to be ignited.

The guild system can also be regarded as Wang Hou's political feat. Although these greedy big merchant vampires may not be much better than big landlord vampires, they have broken the old economic blockade of feudal manors after all. The Han family in Wuyang is an example. In the old days, less than half of the land in Wuyang belonged to the Han family. The big manor produced food, cloth, ironware, pottery and other essential products for human survival, and there was very little demand from the outside world.

The local people were bound in the Han family manor, and almost regarded the head of the Han family as the uncrowned king. They only knew that the Han family did not know the big man. Once the country weakened, such a feudal manor wanted to rebel independently, and the country would rebel independently. Binding is too low too low.

But now, except for some self-cultivated farmers who are still under government control and produce grain, guilds have highlighted the commercial attributes of the place, just like Qingzhou, where the cotton production guild, the sugar production guild, and the molasses wine guild prospered to export to the Western Regions. Some rebelled and became independent. Wang Hou strangled the purchase channels of these three places. Hundreds of thousands of boxes of sugar, cloth, and bottles of molasses wine had to rot in warehouses. Follow up and rebel.

Then in Liaodong, don’t look at Zhang Yan’s Heishan country going out independently, but the Liaodong Commodity Grain Guild has a stronger voice than him. The vast Songnen Plain farms provide Wei with [-]% of the commercial grain on the market. Although the grain is special The attributes make this place independent and you can’t starve to death, but you’re used to the luxury of food in exchange for cloth, fish, salt, sugar and tea. Without the Central Plains, Montenegro will have to fall back to primitive society. The tyrants here are naturally not as arrogant as the Eastern Han gentry.

Now that he controls Bashu, Wang Hou still uses this trick. On the first day he entered Bashu, he hung up the signboard of China Merchants.

I have to say that the Land of Abundance is really a treasure of China. Shu brocade and Shu tea, which were in full swing in trade a few days ago, also have a series of spices such as vine pepper, pepper, cinnamon, clove, and angelica. Bashu in the mountains has excellent medicinal materials. There is honey in Nanzhong, and well salt in Zigong. It is easy, and five guilds came out.

The aristocratic family who first took refuge in the Western Wei Dynasty tasted the sweetness. A guild set up five general merchants, and they made plans for annual production, pricing, taxation, and key sales areas, and then organized how the subsequent land merchants joined. How to produce, distribute, Set up shops in other places, and after this network is laid, nearly [-] to [-]% of the population of Bashu will be recruited.

In terms of military affairs, it is modeled after Guanzhong, but the types of soldiers in Guanzhong are reversed. Rich families above small landlords provide one or several infantry soldiers according to their land ownership. The newly established Yizhou Corps was captured in the Battle of Hanzhong and captured by Wang Houkeng. Miserably, in the end Zhang Ni, who was absorbed by the Western Wei Dynasty in a daze, took up the post, and the state recruited [-] professional cavalry under his command.

Politically, Wang Hou is not as dominant as Liu Zhang and Liu Bei's era. He set up county schools in the counties of Yizhou, and county schools were set up in the counties. Those who have excellent academic performance in the school can directly work in Chang'an College, and the graduates will be assigned official positions directly, just like the civil servants in later generations. In this way, whoever is an official and who is not is based on their ability, and there is no need to fight. .

After Liu Bei entered Sichuan, it would take two years for one family to woo another to suppress him, and it would take two years to implement effective rule in Yizhou. All the local aristocratic families in Bashu still hated him, but Wang Hou made a combination of punches, and Xichuan's political context became clear.

Everything is difficult from the beginning, these days Wang Hou is also as busy as a grandson, summoning the general merchant family, explaining the policy of the Western Wei Dynasty, he is so busy all day, his feet hit the back of his head, and he has no time to eat.

At the beginning of November, it was another dull and boring meeting day for the leaders.

On the large long table, Yizhou's newly elected leadership team sits at both ends, listening to Wang "Secretary" Maobi, who has crystal glasses with thick wine bottle bottoms on his eyes, looking at the table, talking about the future prospects, and Sitting under him, Cao's "senior official" was bored, staring greedily at the backs of the heads of the Yizhou family members.

Just when Wang Hou was full of enthusiasm and enjoying the new year, the development of Yizhou Jidipi grew by [-]%, and every family got rid of poverty and became prosperous, the door of the meeting room was knocked hastily, and the new opportunity The secretary, Sun Shangxiang, showed her head in a hurry, lit up the black leather notebook in her hand, her expression tightened, Wang Hou stood up immediately, and said hastily while pressing the table with both hands.

"Everyone, today's meeting will end here first. After you go home, you must thoroughly understand the spirit of the executive meeting and contribute to the early realization of Yizhou's revival!"

"I will obey your orders!"

This is the first experience of this kind of big round table meeting, and the soldiers painted by Wang Hou are really beautiful. Dozens of aristocratic families in Shu and the leaders transferred from Chang'an all pumped their fists in excitement, and immediately left the venue with their faces still With a smile in that kind of majesty, watching the big guys leave one by one, Wang Hou's face suddenly darkened, and he rushed out from the other side of the meeting room hurriedly, pulling Cao Zhang who was still wandering there.

"Hey, old Deng!"

Followed Sun Shangxiang to Wang Hou's own office, and as soon as he entered the door, Cao Zhang yelled out of curiosity, and sat on the sofa brought from Guanzhong. Lao Deng who helped him enter the city, or who?
"Why did you come? And why did you run away last time? My son was still asking for credit for you in front of your father? But when you turned around, you disappeared, which really made me lose face. Do you know that?" Know?"

"Hehe, I'm sorry, Third Young Master!"

He also hugged Cao Zhang with a smile, but his expression became extremely serious again. Deng Chi bowed heavily to Wang Hou.

"My lord, there is confirmed news from the Huainan front!"

"Your Majesty, it's already heaven!"

"what?"

Shocked in a mess, Cao Zhang's eyeballs almost popped out, and Wang Hou couldn't help but gasped when he heard it, his brows were locked on his forehead for a moment, and he couldn't confidently ask.

"How is it possible? Cao Pi is dead!"

"How did you die?"
