Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 166 The reform vanguards from East County
After a day's work, Cao Cao returned home exhausted.

Cao Pi did a good job with his homework today, and Cao Zhi is very cute as he is learning to speak. The harmony and warmth of the family relieved Cao Cao's fatigue a little.

But tiredness slows down and is still tired after all.

Seeing that Cao Cao was a little tired, Mrs. Ding sent someone to send Cao Pi and Cao Zhi away, then knelt down beside Cao Cao, rubbed his temples for him, and said, "Husband, although state affairs are important, you should take care of your body." .”

Cao Cao enjoyed Madam Ding's service, and after a while, he patted Madam Ding's hand and said, "I see, you should go down first."

"Yes" Mrs. Ding didn't say much, and after telling her to back down, she obediently left Cao Cao's bedroom.

After the sound of footsteps disappeared, Cao Cao took out the Diary of Heaven and Destiny from the bedside.

It can be seen from the issuance of the merit-seeking decree that Cao Cao is not a person who sticks to the rules. He has the courage to dare to break the world, which is one of the reasons why Lu Yan takes a fancy to Cao Cao.

Although the Order of Seeking Talents did not attract the kind of high-end rulers for Cao Cao, it did attract a lot of low-level officials.

Most of them come from small down-and-out families and poor families. These people are also one of Cao Cao's confidence to promote reforms.

[Recently, I don’t know if it’s because Diao Chan moved here, but I always feel that my luck has improved. 】

Opening the diary, Lu Yan's first sentence made Boss Cao feel sour, "Huh! It's cheaper for you and Fengxiao."

[The glass formula is available, and now the papermaking technique has been developed, and Lao Cao Xianyu's turnaround is almost just around the corner! 】

"What is glass?" It was another unfamiliar term, and Cao Cao didn't quite understand it.After pondering over the words, Cao Cao secretly guessed, "Could it have something to do with Liuli?"

Glaze and glass are really similar, but the composition of the two is slightly different.

There was colored glaze in the Warring States Period, but unfortunately, as porcelain prospered later, the colored glaze industry gradually declined.

"It's just that what's the use of this glass, it can turn me, uh, salted fish over?" Lao Cao felt a little dissatisfied with Lu Yan's words, "Could it be that I'm not strong enough now, and I'm still just a salted fish?"

Regardless of what the glass is and how much it is worth.

Boss Cao was very confused by Lu Yan's last sentence about papermaking, "Papermaking? Isn't there Caihou paper now?"

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Lun, a member of the Central Committee, improved papermaking.

He used bark, hemp heads, rags, and fishing nets, and through a series of processes such as crushing, pounding, copying, and baking, he made paper, which was also called "Caihou paper".

However, at this time, the paper of Caihou paper was yellowed, rough in texture, easy to damage and not conducive to preservation.

Therefore, although Caihou paper can be written, and the price is not too expensive, people still use bamboo slips and silk to record literary knowledge.

"Could it be 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 expect too much.

It was the chamber of commerce that Lu Yan mentioned later, and Cao Cao showed some interest, "Set up a chamber of commerce by yourself. It looks pretty good."

"I want Zilian to take charge of the chamber of commerce. But he is really greedy for money and old-fashioned. But I am afraid it will be difficult for him to put down his dignity to manage the chamber of commerce." Boss Cao thinks that his younger brother will not be able to take care of himself. Downgrade.

"In history, I would dig graves to raise military funds??" Cao Cao laughed dumbfounded when he saw this, and said to himself happily: "It is conceivable that in a world without Mr. Lu, I, Cao Mengde, would do nothing How miserable is it?"

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing at Lu Yan's words that he wanted to 'fork himself out', "The old man has already seen your sinister intentions."

Want to eat alone?

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 chamber of commerce. As for whether Cao Hong would accept it, that was Lu Yan's concern.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are at the bottom of this era, only a little higher than slaves.

If there is any problem with the chamber of commerce, it will be caught and dealt with. If there is a better reason, maybe some people will praise it. So Cao Cao is not in a hurry, just let Lu Yan rest assured to toss.

After reading today's diary, Cao Cao felt that the hope for the success of the reform was much greater, "Sir's plan is extremely feasible, all I need to do is to fully cooperate with him!"

Cao Cao was lying on the bed with his diary in his arms, thinking about reform plans in his mind.

Suddenly a burst of exhaustion struck. "Huh~huh!"

On the third day after Mao Jie left Chenliu, he finally arrived in Juancheng first.

Ren Jun was slower, because he still led a huge grassroots team of more than 150 people.

The arrival of Mao Jie made the Juancheng family seem to smell something.

However, those gentry from aristocratic families who jumped the most when Lu Bu came, either left with Lu Bu, or went north to join Yuan Shao.

The rest of those who didn't jump so high and were lucky, now, for their own future, they also began to secretly contact each other to discuss countermeasures.

It's just that they didn't expect that the Dongjun family would shamelessly "sell" them!
The rest of the prefectures and counties in Yanzhou will follow the example of Chenliu County, and the news of implementing Lijia and the household registration system spread like wildfire.

The aristocratic family who originally wanted to secretly unite to resist the reform suddenly discovered that the Dongjun group shamelessly stood on Cao Cao's side!
Although the new household registration system will seize the resources of some aristocratic gentry, it will not hurt them fundamentally.

And Cao Cao promised,
As long as they cooperate in promoting household registration reform, everything in the past will be wiped out.As for those collaborating letters and the list given to Tian by Chen Gong, Cao Cao would also personally burn them.

Not only that, but in the future recruitment and employment of officials in Yanzhou, priority will be given to the people they recommend, plus some bits and pieces of benefits, Boss Cao can be said to have used the grace and power to the extreme.

Those aristocratic families in Dongjun who had not had time to start rebelling in the future received promises from Cao Cao.

In this way, as long as they cooperate in the implementation of the household registration system, they can not only avoid punishment and the pain of leaving their hometown, but also regain Cao Cao's trust and gain some real benefits.

This kind of good thing that can return to Boss Cao's arms without hurting his muscles and bones naturally needs strong support!

Therefore, under the leadership of the big family in Dongjun, the family and gentry in Dongjun united and took the lead.

Some people give people, and those who have money give money, and start to spare no effort to promote the household registration system.

During this process, the enthusiasm and enthusiasm they burst out even made Mao Jie and Ren Jun, who had just arrived in Juancheng, stunned.
