"By the way, what do you think about the matter of Warm Dong?" Wang Yong's eyes were a little pissed, and Cao Cao quickly changed the topic.

"It is actually good to have fewer people frozen to death, in fact, in a sense. Especially during this period, there were many refugees coming from Hebei and Guanzhong. It seems that many people from Jiangdong also went north..." Wang Yong thought for a while.

"I'm not talking about this problem..." Cao Cao pursed his lips, "I mean, there may be a locust plague next year. And because of the weather, it is very likely that the autumn harvest will be reduced to a certain extent in a month."

"Slash production will inevitably lead to production reduction. After all, this year we have invested in rectifying river channels, repairing and expanding water diversion channels, which is ultimately insufficient investment in the irrigation system. This year's funds are largely used as military expenditure." Wang Yong replied.

He paused and continued, "It doesn't matter as for locusts. Some of the guys who were addicted to eating locusts before seem to have begun to consider whether to raise locusts artificially."

This is not a joke. After the locust plague, the price of locusts began to rise. After all, the cost of arresting wild locusts is not very high. Not to mention the difficulty in catching them, the key is not enough to eat. Some people have begun to consider whether to artificially breed locusts to meet the needs of diners.

"The locust vegetables developed to solve the locust plague back then, but I didn't expect that they had developed into a system..." Cao Cao was speechless. Of course, if she fryed the locust, she felt that the taste... seemed to be OK.

During that period, Xiahou Dun's army greatly improved the quality of the soldiers by taking a lot of locust powder. However, the subsequent locust powder could not keep up, so after negotiation, it changed to a cup of soy milk every day. In fact, milk may be better and can supplement some calcium, but the price is obviously too high and is not suitable for purchasing as military supplies.

"By the way... it seems that it was three or four years ago?" Cao Pi interrupted, why did it seem like it was a long-term feeling when things happened three or four years ago?

"The little kid probably doesn't understand such feelings..." Wang Yong joked.

"You seem to be only in your twenties!" Cao Pi turned back, "I can't be a few years older than me!"

"No, no, I suspect that your mental age is only three years old." Wang Yong complained.

"I think you are more like a child! You are like an older person, but you have to be petty with me, a young man!" Cao Pi directly used a killer move.

"Cough... Pi'er... It's afternoon tea time now, I don't want any disputes, as this will make the tea unpalatable." Cao Cao reminded next to him, and then slowly picked up the tea cup.

"Then...Mother, if you have time, please take a look at the documents. I'll go back first." Cao Pi obviously came to submit the documents before, and then came to help. Now there is no reason to stay again, so he just said goodbye and left.

"She is not like this at home and outside. Why do she have to quarrel every time she meets you?" Cao Cao sighed, why is it Wang Yong.

"'Outsiders' and 'mother's remarriage partner' will definitely not be treated the same way." Wang Yong had no choice but to say, "After the tax rate changed, the court's income increased. Perhaps after the autumn harvest, the winter was not yet here, or the land in the warm winter was not so hard, and the corvee service was launched for infrastructure construction..."

"Your proposal is good, and the problem is... Is it okay for you to do this?" Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong.

"I have been able to control my thinking a little recently and prevent it from spreading freely. Now, if you ask me what I want, I will think, instead of thinking aimlessly and casually. Moreover, when I think at most, I won't think too much." Wang Yong replied, his homework to control his emotions was already done well.

"Since you have no problem, I'm relieved." Cao Cao nodded, "What I'm considering now is not an infrastructure issue. There is one thing I really care about about Yuan Shao's idea, that is Hanoi County!"

He paused and said slowly: "If I remember correctly, the prefect of Hanoi County, Wang Kuang, seems to have not surrendered to Yuan Shao yet. If Yuan Shao wants to launch an attack from Hanoi, Wang Kuang probably can't get around."

"According to history, the lord has already led Cao Ren, Cao Hong and Shi Huan to attack Hanoi. But the side effect after I traveled to this world is that Hanoi has not been taken down yet. In fact, considering the safety of Sizhou, it is better to take down Hanoi. As for why Yuan Shao still wanted to launch an attack...they were short of food, probably because of this reason." Wang Yong began to think, and then he looked up and replied shortly afterwards.

"So that's it, so what he said is." Cao Cao understood after he thought for a while. Yuan Shao was short of food, but Wang Kuang probably had food. Yuan Shao attacked Hanoi and happened to get a certain amount of supplies in the local area. Wang Kuang probably wouldn't have thought that Yuan Shao would send troops to Hanoi, and it would be too late to strengthen the walls and clear the fields.

On the contrary, if Yuan Shao went south, then he would definitely be able to keep his walls and clear the country, and she might not be able to get food.

"In this case, it is even more necessary to attack Hanoi... The Yanzhou Army can secretly move to Guandu area to guard the army, and at the same time send Li Dian and Le Jin to command troops, and take Cao Xiu's cavalry troops to attack Hanoi County... If the Nanyang defenders go north to attack Hanoi County, which one do you think is better?" Cao Cao thought for a while.

"Lord, I'm just a cook." Wang Yong felt that the next question was not the question he should answer.

"I'll discuss it with me in private. Ang'er has been stationed in Nanyang for a while, but there is basically no movement on Liu Biao's side. If you continue, he is just waiting for his resume there..." Cao Cao said in a low voice.

The meaning is very clear, that is, she plans to take this opportunity to make Cao Ang make a lot of military achievements. After all, the court is now the court, and Cao Cao is Cao Cao. Even if Cao Ang is Cao Cao's son, he must abide by the rules and cannot be promoted just by promotion.

If you have no military merits, even if you have enough experience, you must be ranked behind the military merits. This is a conclusion drawn after a group of civil servants and generals after a day of discussion. Restore the court's emphasis on military merits and encourage soldiers to fight bravely to the outside world.

"If Cao Ang goes north, then military and political separation will be required..." Wang Yong reminded.

The separation of military and political affairs of the imperial court mainly targeted the existing control scope, but there was one special place, that is, Nanyang County. It belongs to Jingzhou, and Jingzhou is not a test scope, so Cao Ang was in charge of the military and political power of Nanyang as the prefect of Nanyang.

If we go north to attack Wang Kuang, there are risks in the war itself, the key is that Cao Ang will definitely not be able to control the military and political forces.

"That's why I need to discuss it with you." Cao Cao naturally knew this.

"Young people, it's true that they still need to experience more, right? They are always not as good as their mother's wings." Wang Yong replied.

"Okay, let him take charge, after conquering Henei County, he will be incorporated into the Yanzhou Army and guarding the other side. This also means that I will arrange another garrison in Nanyang and the new prefect." Cao Cao made the decision immediately.

"Is the lord going to send troops to Hanoi?" Wang Yong was curious.

"Uh... I won't go, but after the autumn harvest, I can transfer the army to defeat Hanoi first." Cao Cao said with confidence.
