He Yan himself taught Yang Xiu how to do things, so he would not be idle here either.
After throwing the manure peaches to Hongnong Yang, He Yan found a few more people——
Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Cao Hong and Zhong Yan.
All four people have one characteristic, that is, they are rich!
And it’s not just ordinary wealth!
Xun Yu and Chen Qun here naturally represent the Xun family of Yingchuan and the Chen family of Yingchuan. Zhong Yan is the younger brother of Zhong Yao, the captain of the Sili school. Behind him is the Zhong family of Changshe. They are all emerging people who have made their fortunes with Cao Cao.
Family.
As for Cao Hong, needless to say, as a super rich man who made Cao Cao sigh, "The family support is as good as the child's integrity." How rich he is is still a mystery.
Counting He Yan, it is no exaggeration to say that these five people occupy almost 30% of the land wealth in the Central Plains!
After gathering them together, He Yan naturally wanted them to work with him to establish a Zhongyuan Grain Store and completely control the grain of the Central Plains into the hands of several families.
Among them, Chen Qun, Cao Hong and Zhong Yan were all moved. Only Xun Yu lost his smile as before: "This move will not benefit the country!"
"Xun Lingjun, is it not beneficial to the country or to the Liu family?"
He Yan was not worried at all that Xun Yu would refuse, he just needed some time to turn this corner.
"Why does Xun Lingjun always think that when aristocratic families become powerful, they will treat the people badly?"
Xun You still has a part of his butt that sits on the side of the imperial power, which has led to him still being poisoned by the idea of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country.
In the eyes of this kind of people, only by following the emperor can the common people enjoy the rich and delicious food, but by following the aristocratic families, they are persecuted and need to be rescued...
As everyone knows, both sides want to eat people, and no one can be said to be nobler than the other.
Even more so, because the imperial power needs to maintain their supreme power, they will only become more ferocious when they eat people!
In addition, because of the special nature of imperial power, its development is destined to become more high-pressure, more terrifying, and more centralized, with no possible trend for the better.
Looking back at the development of the aristocratic family, although it is still a group of wealthy locals with no pursuits grabbing land, its development is more diversified, unlike the imperial power that locks everyone in a cage.
And with the development of new learning, everyone will naturally realize the same as Yang Xiu - "How much money can you make from the land? If you want to make money, make a lot of money."
Now He Yan is gathering the resources in his hands to speed up this process, so that each of those aristocratic families can open their eyes and look forward.
"Xun Lingjun, the price of food will only get lower and lower in the future. It is actually far better for us to control the food in our hands than to control it outside!"
"I know Xun Lingjun wants to say that it is controlled by the government... But Xun Lingjun, do you really think that people in the government are cleaner than our people?"
"I don't believe you don't know how much food is lost in various places every year. It's just that most of the time you turn a blind eye."
He Yan had always scorned the moral quality of the officials in the government.
In other words, it is ridiculous to use moral quality to restrain officials.
Only through the three-pronged approach of supervision, interests, and ethics can it be possible to build an efficient and clean government agency, but the government agency that has been infiltrated by aristocratic families simply cannot do all three well at the same time.
In this case, it would be better to just cut off this part of the Han government and travel lightly!
The ruling machine of the unified dynasty would not be able to control much vast land until its technology had developed to a certain level.
The implementation of the central government's policy of "weakening the cadres and strengthening the branches" and "obsessing the people" is actually closely related to its own inability to control these areas.
If China wants to expand in the future, it must change its current governance model.
That kind of "everything in the world is the king's land" model that wants to control everything is absolutely unworkable!
Only by giving away most of the power and allowing Chinese civilization to undergo a "barbaric expansion" will this be the trend of future development.
By the way...
Cao Cao has always dreamed of letting the family no longer get involved in politics and the military.
Cao Cao often used the "Legal System of a Poor Family" as the criterion for hiring people. This was actually the biggest conflict between Cao Cao and Xun Yu and others.
If the government can cut off some unnecessary things and give them to the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family no longer has what they want from the government, they will naturally withdraw from the government slowly and give Cao Cao the order he has always wanted -
—
The order of "ruling the country according to law and rising of poor families".
From then on, the aristocratic family focused on money and power, while the government focused on supervising development. The two competed with each other but supported each other. They continued to expand during the collision and transformed into a giant beast, roaring in all directions.
"Xun Lingjun..."
He Yan persuaded in a good voice: "This is the best result for you, Sikong, and everyone."
By dismembering the government, the aristocratic family can get what they want, and they no longer need to guard against Cao Cao like a thief, making both parties more harmonious.
On Cao Cao's side, it is a winner-takes-all approach. Not only can he realize his own ideals of governing the country, but the Cao family can also come and share a piece of the family's pie and use the resources in their hands to directly become a super potential stock.
But there is a prerequisite.
The premise is that Cao Cao will not become the second big head Yuan, reverse the course of history, and want to shroud the iron curtain of imperial power over everyone again.
Regarding this point, He Yan still has some confidence in Boss Cao.
If Cao Cao doesn't do it, Cao Pi will beat him up if he wants to... After three generations of this, the Cao family will lose absolute control over the government and the army, and will never have to worry about it again.
Not only Cao Cao, but also Cao Pi.
Anyone who tries to raise the Iron Curtain again will be the enemy of He Yan and all the aristocratic families!
Liu Xie, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Sun... Well, Sun Quan can be fought over, after all, Soochow is somewhat like-minded.
"Marquis Shen, this method is a bit too bold. Have you told Sikong about it?"
"Sikong will agree."
He Yan has confidence in Cao Cao.
"What he pursues is the same thing as us."
"Otherwise, why would Xun Lingjun choose to support Sikong?"
Xun Yu sighed after hearing He Yan's answer: "Marquis Shen... If that's the case, then let's do what you say."
As soon as Xun Yu here agreed, the Zhongyuan Grain Shop over there hurriedly set up a shelf.
The five families established grain shops based on the amount of land they currently owned. Among them, the He Yan, Xun and Chen families all occupied 20%, and the Cao Hong and Zhong families each occupied 10%.
Needless to say, the remaining 20% belongs to Cao Cao.
We all live in China, so we still need to understand these rules...
But we won't give Cao Cao the land in vain, otherwise wouldn't he become a big injustice?
Under He Yan's suggestion, everyone decided to take advantage of the increase in grain production in the next few years to crazily lower grain prices, and then take advantage of this opportunity to purchase grain on a large scale.
As long as the Zhongyuan Grain Store takes up 50% of the Zhongyuan field output, Cao Cao will naturally squeeze out his share.
As for the part that was in deficit before...it's all considered as a cost.
