Three Kingdoms: The identity of the financial owner behind the scenes was exposed by Cao Cao

Cao Cao was really shocked.

Thirty million grain and grass.

When the Han Dynasty had not yet collapsed, it was unknown whether it could harvest 30 million grain and grass a year.

With his own strength, Cao Yuan privately stockpiled 30 million Hu.

This can no longer be described as a rich and rival country.

“Yuan’er, how did you get so much grain and grass?”

Cao Cao, who came back to his senses, asked in surprise but confusion.

Of course, Cao Yuan would not tell him that the 30 million grain and grass were obtained by him over the years by taking advantage of his position to increase the grain and grass in the treasury.

“It’s still the old saying, children have their own means, and the father should not ask more.”

He continued to use the old method to prevaricate and perfunctory Cao Cao.

Cao Cao couldn’t help but be stunned.

Cao Yuan did not give him a chance to doubt, and immediately asked, “Father only needs to tell his sons that these 30 million grain and grass can be enough to make up for the loss of the father and king to spare the people. ”

Cao Cao’s suspicions turned into ecstasy, and he nodded heavily: “Of course it’s enough, Mo said it’s enough to reduce taxes for three years, even if it is ten years of tax reduction.” ”

“That’s it.”

Cao Yuan nodded slightly, and said with a smile: “In that case, then the father and king can reduce taxes with peace of mind, collect the hearts of the people, ascend the throne as emperor in a dignified manner, and the children will immediately transfer the grain and grass in the private warehouse to the state treasury.” ”

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry in his heart was one less layer.

But after a little relief, Cao Cao said again: “However, this time for my father to slaughter the Xun clan, the Yang clan many clans, if you want to successfully ascend the throne and become emperor, in addition to appeasing the people, the world’s clans also need to be well pacified.” ”

“This father is wrong.”

Cao Yuan said disapprovingly: “Father King has won the hearts of the people, why should he need the support of the world, what Father King has to do is not to appease them, but to slowly eradicate them.” ”

Cao Cao gasped.

In dealing with the world, the principles he adheres to are nothing more than suppression.

This son of his own wisdom like God actually wanted to eradicate the people’s lineage.

Boy!

That’s too much of an appetite.

“The annexation of land by the clans caused hundreds of people to become landless displaced people, which led to the Yellow Turban Rebellion.”

“In the final analysis, the fall of the Han Dynasty is not rooted in the faintness of the Han Emperor, not in the dictatorship of eunuchs, nor in Zhang Jiao’s chaos, but in the world.”

“If the father cannot get rid of the clan and just wants to suppress them, it is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and to continue to allow them to expand their strength.”

“Once they find an opportunity, I Cao Wei Jiangshan will be in danger of being subverted in a blink of an eye!”

Cao Yuan was also honest with each other and broke the harm of the clan to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked grim and looked at Cao Yuan with amazement.

He obviously did not expect that the harm of his son to the world could be seen so thoroughly and profoundly.

“The calamity of the worldly family, the father will not know it, if it is not for the suppression of the world, the father will not implement the policy of employing people on merit, regardless of the cold family.”

“But suppression is suppression, and it is unrealistic to completely ignore the support of the clan and think it is unrealistic for the father.”

Cao Cao sighed like this, and his eyebrows were quite helpless.

Cao Yuan said, “But the sons and daughters don’t understand, since they are talented, why do they have to have the support of the world? ”

“The clan has a large number of private soldiers, endless wealth, and this is one of them.”

“The most important thing is to govern the country, you must have talent.”

“And the talent to govern the country must first be a reader, not an illiterate white.”

“Although there are no talents in the cold door, most of the talents are monopolized by the family.”

“Isn’t it contradictory for the father to rely on these people to govern my Great Wei, but also to eradicate them?”

Cao Cao pointed out the key to this.

To put it bluntly, it is knowledge.

To govern the country, we must understand the knowledge of governing the country.

And this knowledge, in addition to words and deeds, the most important source of learning is books.

Most of the current books are still bamboo simple, expensive to build, and a “Shiji” may have to be a car of bamboo simplification.

The people face the loess with their backs to the sky, how can they afford to buy bamboo to study.

Even if it is a small rich cold, expensive bamboo Jane is also a big expense.

Only those families who have a good land can support the children of their own clan and read whatever they want.

When the world monopolizes the land, it has wealth, and if it has wealth, it has a monopoly on knowledge.

And monopolizing knowledge is equivalent to indirectly monopolizing the power of officials.

“It turns out that my father’s concern is that there is no one available.”

Cao Yuan smiled disapprovingly, “Father King Mo worry, the sons and daughters have already thought of countermeasures for the father, and they also asked the father to accompany the sons out of the palace.” ”

When Cao Cao heard that his son had a way to govern the country without relying on the world, he couldn’t help but lift his spirits.

He gladly left the palace and left with Cao Yuan.

The father and son left Yecheng and came to a workshop in the eastern suburbs.

Pushing open the door of the workshop, Cao Cao was stunned.

The workshop is full of wood and dozens of pools.

Hundreds of craftsmen are sawing wood, pouring it into a pool to soak and mix it into a pulp.

After one process after another, the wood becomes countless pieces of paper, which are hung on bamboo frames to dry.

“Yuan’er, this is a paper workshop?”

Cao Cao saw the doorway.

“Exactly.”

Cao Cao picked up a piece of paper, handed it to Cao Cao, and asked with a smile: “Father Wang Jue, how does this rice paper compare with Cai Lun?” ”

“Rice paper?”

Cao Cao listened to the unknown name of the paper, held the paper in his hand, and looked at it carefully, and couldn’t help but look happy.

“Yuan’er, what kind of rice paper you have, it is ten times better than Cai Lun paper, and if it is used for writing, it is better to use than handsome.”

Cao Cao looked at Cao Yuan excitedly.

As early as two hundred years ago, Cai Lun invented paper.

It’s just that Cai Lun paper, the process is backward, the paper made can not be used for writing at all, even the hand paper is too rough.

Therefore, although Cai Lun paper has been around for more than two hundred years, books are still mainly bamboo simple, and extremely important messages are written in more expensive books and sheepskin.

“Sonchen felt that bamboo was expensive, and in all his leisure time, he improved the process of Cai Lun paper and created this new type of paper, called rice paper.”

“This Xuan paper is far superior to Cai Lun paper, it is not perishable, it is convenient to write, and the cost is extremely cheap, which is not as good as Cai Lun paper.”

“If the father can promote this rice paper in the name of the imperial court, then it will be said that he is a disciple of the cold family, even ordinary people, they will have the opportunity to afford the books written on this rice paper.”

Cao Yuan gushed endlessly, talking about the benefits of this rice paper.

Cao Cao’s eyes flashed, and he became more and more happy, holding the rice paper like a treasure.

“If ordinary people can afford to read, they will naturally be able to succeed in their studies and serve the Great Wei.”

“In this way, the father and king can continuously get the necessary talents to govern the country from the cold door, and do they need to rely on the talents of the clan to govern the country for the father?”

Cao Yuan finally pointed out the key.

Cao Cao suddenly realized, and in an instant, endless surprise surged on his face.
