After a day's work, Cao Cao returned home a little tired.
Cao Pi did a good job in his homework today, and Cao Zhi was very cute in learning English. The harmony and warmth of the family relieved Cao Cao's fatigue a little.
But after a while, the fatigue is still tired.
Seeing that Cao Cao was a little tired, Mrs. Ding sent Cao Pi and Cao Zhi away. Then she knelt down beside Cao Cao, rubbed his temples, and said, "Husband, although state affairs are important, you should take more care of yourself.
.”
Cao Cao enjoyed Mrs. Ding's service. After a while, he patted Mrs. Ding's hand and said, "I understand. You can go down first."
"Yes..." Mrs. Ding didn't say much. After asking her to step aside, she obediently left Cao Cao's bedroom.
When the footsteps faded away, Cao Cao took out the Diary of Heaven's Destiny from the bedside.
It can be seen from the issuance of the meritocracy order that Cao Cao is not a stickler for rules. He has the courage to break the world. This is one of the reasons why Lu Yan likes Cao Cao.
Although the Qi Xian Ling did not recruit high-end state administrators to Cao Cao, it did recruit a lot of grassroots officials.
Most of them come from small, down-and-out families and poor backgrounds. These people are also one of the reasons why Cao Cao dared to promote reforms.
[I don’t know if it’s because Diao Chan moved here recently, but I always feel that my luck has gotten better. 】
Opening the diary, Lu Yan's first words made Boss Cao feel sour, "Huh! I'm giving you and Fengxiao an advantage."
[The glass formula is now available, and now the paper-making technology has been introduced, Lao Cao’s turnaround is almost around the corner! 】
"What is glass?" It was another unfamiliar term, and Cao Cao was not sure. After thinking about the literal meaning, Cao Cao secretly guessed: "Could it have something to do with Liuli?"
Glaze and glass are really similar, but their compositions are slightly different.
Glaze has been around since the Warring States Period. Unfortunately, with the rise of porcelain, the glaze industry has slowly declined.
"What's the use of this glass? It can actually make me... um... a salted fish stand up?" Lao Cao felt a little dissatisfied with Lu Yan's choice of words, "Maybe I'm not strong enough now and am still just a salted fish.
Well?"
Regardless of what the glass is or how much it is worth.
Lu Yan's words about papermaking made Boss Cao very confused, "Papermaking? Isn't there already Caihou Paper?"
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Lun, a minister in charge of the imperial examination, improved papermaking technology.
He used bark, hemp heads, rags, and fishing nets to make paper through a series of processes such as beating, pounding, copying, and baking. This kind of paper was also called "Cai Hou Paper."
However, at this time, the surface of Caihou paper was yellowed, rough in texture, and easily damaged, which was not conducive to preservation.
Therefore, although Caihou paper can be written on and is not expensive, people still use bamboo slips and silk to record literary knowledge.
"Could it be a better paper than Caihou Paper?" Although Cao Cao was a little curious, he didn't know how good the paper could be, so he didn't have too many expectations.
However, Cao Cao showed some interest in the chamber of commerce that Lu Yan mentioned later, "I want to form my own chamber of commerce... It looks pretty good..."
"I want Zi Lian to take charge of the Chamber of Commerce... But he is indeed greedy for money and stingy. But it might be difficult for him to let go of himself and manage the Chamber of Commerce." Boss Cao thinks that his brother should not
He will degrade himself.
"In history, I actually dig graves in order to raise military funds??" Cao Cao laughed dumbly after seeing this, and said to himself happily: "It is conceivable that in a world without Mr. Lu, I, Cao Mengde, would be the best
How miserable is it?”
Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lu Yan's words about wanting to 'fork him out', "I've already seen through your sinister intentions."
Want to eat alone?
hey-hey!
No way!
Lao Cao had fully understood Lu Yan's plan, and he finally decided to let Lu Yan and Cao Hong deal with the matter of the Chamber of Commerce. As for whether Cao Hong was willing to accept it, that was what Lu Yan should worry about.
Scholars, peasants, industrialists, and merchants were at the lowest level in this era, only slightly higher than slaves.
If there were any problems with the Chamber of Commerce, they would all be caught and dealt with. If he could find a better reason, he might even get praise from some people... So Cao Cao didn't panic and just let Lu Yan worry about it.
After reading today's diary, Cao Cao felt that his hope for the success of the reform was much greater. "Mr.'s plans are extremely feasible. All I have to do is fully cooperate with him!"
Cao Cao lay on the bed with Japan in his arms, thinking about the reform plan in his mind.
Suddenly a wave of exhaustion came over... "Hu~hu!"
...
On the third day after Mao Jie left Chenliu, he finally arrived at Juancheng first.
Ren Jun is slower because he still leads a huge grassroots team of more than 150 people.
Mao Jie's arrival made the Juancheng family seem to have caught wind of something.
However, those nobles from aristocratic families who jumped the most when Lu Bu came have either left with Lu Bu or gone north to join Yuan Shao.
The remaining ones who didn't jump so high and were lucky, now began to communicate with each other secretly to discuss countermeasures for their own future.
But what they didn't expect was that the Dongjun family would shamelessly "betray" them!
News spread like wildfire that other prefectures and counties in Yanzhou would follow Chenliu County and implement Lijia and household registration systems.
The aristocratic families who originally wanted to secretly unite to resist the reform suddenly discovered that the group of people in Dongjun shamelessly sided with Cao Cao!
Although the new household registration system will seize the resources of some wealthy gentry, it will not fundamentally harm them.
And Cao Cao promised,
As long as they cooperate in promoting the household registration reform, everything in the past will be wiped out. As for the letters of collaboration with the enemy and the list of names given by Chen Gong to the Tian family, Cao Cao will also burn them himself.
Not only that, in the future the recruitment and recruitment of Yanzhou officials will give priority to the people they recommend. In addition to some scattered benefits, it can be said that Boss Cao has used the combination of kindness and power to the extreme.
Those aristocratic families in Dongjun who had not yet had time to rebel received promises from Cao Cao.
In this way, as long as they cooperate with the implementation of the household registration system, they can avoid punishment and the pain of leaving their hometown, regain Cao Cao's trust, and get some real benefits.
This kind of good thing that can return to the embrace of Boss Cao without breaking the bones, naturally needs strong support!
Therefore, under the leadership of the Tian family, a wealthy family in East County, the wealthy gentry from East County's aristocratic families united and took the lead.
Those who have money provide people, and those who have money provide money, and they began to spare no effort to promote the household registration system around them.
During this process, the enthusiasm and energy they burst out even made Mao Jie and Ren Jun dumbfounded when they first arrived in Juancheng.
