Chapter 44 Discussion
Then I talked to Zhao Yu about the past two months.
First, the resettlement of millions of Yellow Turbans was led by Xun Yu and assisted by Chen Gong and others. The resettlement of the elderly and weak, allocated land, and encouraged farming, and now they are on the right track.
Among them, Cheng Yu was responsible for sending him to Taishan County, while Xun Yu was responsible for picking up and allocating food, grass, clothing and food.
The 300,000 young and strong man have officially entered the process of reorganization and elimination. Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, and Yu Jin are all there.
According to Cao Mengde's plan, he chose one of six, that is, from the 300,000 young and strong, he selected the 50,000 most elites to train.
After all, for the time being, Cao Mengde cannot afford to support more soldiers, and 50,000 is already enough. In addition to reorganization and deregulation, there are also abnormal movements in Xuzhou.
Although Tao Gongzu was old, he was still a little ambitious. In the past month, the army had traces of mobilization. According to Cao Mengde's inference, there was a possibility of attacking Yanzhou.
"There are traces of Yuan Highway's means." Cao Mengde said: "The more fierce the battle between Yuan Highway and Yuan Benchu, Yuan Highway connects Gongsun Zan and Tao Gongzu, and they must suppress Yuan Benchu in the situation. I believe that in the future, Tao Gongzu, the old man, will take practical actions. However, Yanzhou was decided, everything started and there was no capital for a big war."
In this year, Yuan Benchu seized Han Fu and Jizhou, and then fought with Gongsun Zan in full swing.
First, there was the Battle of Jieqiao, Gongsun Zan lost, then the Battle of Longcui, and Gongsun Zan was defeated again, but after that, Gongsun Zan won the Battle of Jumashui, and the two were in stalemate.
Yuan Shu also made a lot of fun, and while eroding Yangzhou, they connected Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian. Because Cao Mengde was Yuan Shao's younger brother in terms of situation, he also had a fight. However, Yuan Shao also connected Cao Mengde and Liu Biao. The two sides were intertwined, and the situation was extremely complicated.
In general, Cao Mengde has no capital for a great war. The previous few wars have consumed almost the war potential in Yanzhou. Now he has annexed millions of Yellow Turbans, which is the time when he needs to cultivate and nourish.
"It's okay." Seeing Xun Yu and others looking at him, Zhao Yu had to speak first: "Although Xuzhou is rich and has a lot of soldiers and enough food, Tao Gongzu is old after all, and his mind is not firm in fighting. There are no generals under his command, such as Cao Bao, who are as famous as his name, are not afraid of it. Just send one general and more than ten thousand soldiers to keep the enemy out of the country. Tao Gongzu saw that things were not done, and he would definitely retreat."
When Cao Mengde heard this, he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly: "Sir, what he said is reasonable."
"However." As he said, he changed his voice: "Yuan Benchu is fighting fiercely with Gongsun Zan, Tao Gongzu has no desire to fight hard, Yuan Gonglu and Liu Jingsheng are also restrained, and are eroding Yangzhou. I am afraid that he will fight with the new Yangzhou governor Liu Yao. This is a great opportunity for me. There is a high-yield and good breed of Mr. Liu Yao, and water conservancy of water, but Yanzhou is located on the bank of a big river. If the year is not good today, what should I do if there is a flood? Mr. Can you teach me a plan?"
"Okay, Cao Mengde!"
Zhao Yu couldn't help laughing: "You are still thinking about me!"
Cao Mengde smiled but said nothing.
"Okay, I have a question about this matter." Zhao Yu said seriously: "At most, I will give you a reply."
Cao Mengde smiled relaxed: "I feel relieved if I have this sentence from Mr.."
Then he said: "Just just now, Wen Ruo and others were discussing the matter of rectifying Yanzhou. At the beginning of everything, only talent is rare. I am thinking of changing some of the county magistrates and county magistrates in various places, but there is no one in my hands. I want to set up a recruitment hall and set up a recruitment order. Only talent is the one who raises it. What do you think?"
When Cao Mengde said this, his face felt quite contented.
He came up with this idea himself.
However, after it was raised, the few people present had some objections.
Just before, before Zhao Yu arrived, they were discussing Cao Mengde's idea.
Cao Mengde wanted to be talented. Regardless of his origin, the first half of Xun Yu and the other four agreed with the first half of the sentence. However, the last half of the sentence was questioned.
Now that Zhao Yu is here, Cao Mengde talks about this matter again, Chen Gongtai took the lead and said: "Lord, Mr. Zhao, the lord is a good idea to announce the order to recruit talents. However, regardless of origin, he has some taboos."
He paused and said, "As a matter of folk people, there are few people who read and read, and there is no talent to speak of. No matter what origin is, it is meaningless."
His meaning is very obvious. In this era, knowledge was monopolized by aristocratic families, and the people of the people had no channels and no conditions to learn advanced knowledge. Therefore, he concluded that there were no talents among the people.
So the saying that regardless of origin is meaningless.
"Two... lord, the aristocratic families in various places are looking forward to it, and many heroes are looking forward to serving the lord. Why should the lord go far and wide?"
An unexpected look flashed in Cao Mengde's eyes, but he also knew that what Chen Gong said was probably correct.
However, this is not what Cao Mengde wants.
As Zhao Yu thought, Cao Mengde is now a prince and has gradually been distinguished from the class of aristocratic families. As the master, everything must be under control. How could Cao Mengde not know the harm of the aristocratic families?
The world of the Han Dynasty has reached this point, not only because of the foolish emperor and the autocratic power of eunuchs and relatives of the foreign countries. The root of the root is the great family.
Enjoying huge rights but pushing all obligations onto the common people is the fundamental reason that crushes the powerful man.
As a member of the clan, how could Cao Mengde not know?
It is a clan, so naturally he has to protect the rights and interests of the clan, but his current goal is not to be a clan. The rights and interests of the clan are contrary to his goals and imperial power. For example, Chen Gong said that he gave the positions of county magistrates and county magistrates in various places, so what is left of Cao Mengde?
So even though Cao Mengde knew that no matter how talented he was from a background, he would not be too good, and he would not be able to capture many talents from the people, he still had to do this.
This is an outline, just like the Constitution, first put it forward and have a conclusion. You can slowly apply it in the future and gradually reverse it.
Xun Yu didn't say anything, he just smiled gently, but Zhao Yu knew that Xun Yu must have known Cao Mengde's intention.
Zhao Yu smiled and said, "The public station has made a big deal."
He said: "Anyway, the people of the people have no talent. No matter whether they are born or born, it doesn't matter, so it doesn't matter. Meng De likes it, so that's it."
Cao Mengde's lips curled up, and then knocked on the desk: "That's it. Wenruo, you can do the matter of recruiting talents. There is a recruitment hall in each county, and only talent is the only one that can be promoted by civil and military personnel." "Yes, lord."
Xun Yu agreed.
Chen Gong thought about Zhao Yu's words and seemed to be correct. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether it is mentioned or not. So he no longer clings to it. "In addition," Cao Mengde solved the matter and said, "The cement factory has stockpiled countless cement. I want to start with Puyang and renovate the Dongjun. The city and roads are the first."
Xun Yu said: "Lord, farming is the first priority." "I know." Cao Mengde waved his hand: "Wen Ruo, how did it go about sowing winter wheat?"
Xun Yu said: "The entire Dongjun has sown all high-quality wheat, and by next year, it will be popularized throughout Yanzhou."
"Okay." Cao Mengde smiled and said, "Replace the inferior species with good varieties. Eat all the inferior species. Spread the stalls in Yanzhou as soon as possible. Zhaozhuang is a living example. Good species are based on and water conservancy is used. We must spread them one by one, and we cannot neglect them." "Don't worry, lord." Xun Yu said, "Chen Gongtai is responsible for the promotion of good varieties, and only the dates are responsible for the water conservancy construction, and all of them are on the right track."
"Very good." Cao Mengde was very happy: "Go back to the city and renovate the roads. After all, this year's good varieties are not enough to spread the stalls in Yanzhou. Many people are still poor. I rebuild the city and pave the roads, and I need to use labor for relief to stabilize the hearts of the people."
Cao Mengde handled it one by one, and Zhao Yu was leisurely by the side. When the processing was completed, it was already afternoon.
Xun Yu and others did not stay much, and the government affairs were complicated and they could not be neglected. So Zhao Yu was still here.
Cao Mengde ordered the attendant to ask the kitchen to prepare a dinner before he started chatting with Zhao Yu.
"Now, I can't use a lot of foundation in my hands, which makes people feel itchy." Cao Mengde said: "Glass, soap, grabs a lot of money and fills the treasury. I don't know how many large warehouses of cement have been stocked up. I have already understood the papermaking method, and even 20,000 sets of fine steel armor have been stored in the warehouse. If I can use them all, even Yuan Benchu, I, Cao Mengde, dare to hit him immediately."
Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Building high walls, accumulating grain, and making a fortune in silence is the king. You have not yet stabilized your new Yanzhou. The powerful families in various places are not easy to meet, so you must slowly plan. In addition, whether it is glass, soap, cement, papermaking, or steelmaking, you must make a plan in advance."
"oh?"
Cao Mengde was confused.
Zhao Yu said: "These industries are more or less polluted. What is pollution? Thick smoke and sewage are pollution. If they flow into the river and drink river water, they will get sick. If they are immersed in the soil, plants will die and grain production will be reduced. Therefore, a detailed plan must be made before forming a huge scale."
"I hope to hear the details."
When Cao Mengde heard this, he also took it seriously.
Zhao Yu said: "A variety of industries should not only consider pollution, but also raw materials. It is best to set up a large iron ore and carbohydrate mine near to avoid the trouble of transportation. I think Nanyang is good, but Nanyang is not under your control, but it can be used as a set goal."
Cao Mengde nodded in contemplation. "For example, other industries such as papermaking and glass firing are best set up in sparsely populated places to avoid causing harm to the people..."
Zhao Yu counted out a lot of things that needed to be advised. After hearing this, Cao Mengde took out a pen and wrote it down one by one.
After talking about this, Cao Mengde asked what Zhao Yu saw and heard when he went out this time.
Chapter completed!
