I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 765, Cao Cao's resentment
Cao Cao has indeed had a good time in the past two years. 10,000+ people went to work hard, earning him hundreds of millions of dollars in income every year, and the textile industry took root in the Izumo country, and the income of the Izumo country continued to increase. , especially when the factory owners were vomiting blood one by one at the beginning, Cao Cao bought shares in these textile factories according to Guo Jia's instructions, and occupied a lot of shares.

Then when the Daqian silk industry started to rise, these textile mills switched to making silk. Even though the quality was poor, they still sold very well because of the low price. This made Cao Cao a lot of money. Earn less.

And the profits of the labor industry can be seen at a glance. It is impossible for him to continue to increase the labor force. After all, Izumo also needs labor to develop, and the textile industry is only a few thousand female workers, but the money earned is not much worse than the 10,000+ people. , and more importantly, the potential of the textile industry is unlimited, and it can continue to expand ten times or a hundred times.

Now Cao Cao finally understands his eldest son a little bit, why he said that if a country wants to grow, it must have an industrial industry, and the development of agriculture alone can at most not starve to death.

And now he finally sees the power of industry. The silk industry alone is more profitable than other industries in Izumo, and it has unlimited potential.He has already planned to expand the area of ​​the silkworm garden, continue to expand the production of silk, and take the silk industry as the pillar industry of Izumo.

Seeing that Cao Cao didn't care about the poor reputation of the silk industry, Xun Yu said firmly: "But Minggong can't let the reputation of inferior silk come to our Izumo country. You must know that our silk cannot always be sold at a low price. Now the most high-end Shu brocade A piece of silk can be sold for more than 2 yuan, and we can sell more than a dozen pieces of silk to be worth a piece of Shu brocade. We can get the silk from Izumo to the quality of Shu brocade, and this is what we should do!"

Now that the Izumo Kingdom has established the silk industry as a pillar industry, it must fully support the development of the silk industry. It is absolutely impossible to do things that ruin its reputation like now. Without a reputation, it is impossible to create a company that can prosper for decades or even Hundreds of years of industry!
This made Cao Cao's face turn cold. What he thought of was not the reputation of Izumo Silk, but the fact that Shu Brocade sucked up his hard-earned money.

Shu brocade has been the most popular silk brand since the Han Dynasty. At the time, it could be said that the nobles of the Han Dynasty did not wear Shu brocade, so now Shu brocade is also very popular in Izumo. Imported a thousand horses. To a certain extent, Cao Cao's hard-earned money has all been returned!
He said coldly: "These families don't have much ability, but enjoyment is not lost at all!"

Because Cao Cao controls the port of the Izumo country, he is very familiar with the import and export data of the Izumo country. This year they exported 4 million yuan of goods to Dagan, which has increased by 4% compared to the previous year, but the import amount is also nearly [-] million yuan, which means that Cao Cao and the others have almost done nothing this year!

And Cao Cao would not have such a big opinion on the imported machinery, iron farm tools, etc. After all, these are tools for production and life, but what Izumo imports are high-end silk, high-end pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Fresh fruits from South China Sea, precious wood from South China Sea!There are even Izumo performances by troupes from Jidu. These are all for enjoyment. How can this not annoy Cao Cao? You may have no ambitions, but you can't be like this.

I really regard Luojing as Luoyang City, and I don’t feel bad at all when I spend money. I, Cao Cao, still feel bad. This is what I saved a little by saving money!

When Cao Cao saw the Izumo Kingdom, where fresh fruits from the South China Sea can be found thousands of miles away, Cao Cao was almost mad: "It's so extravagant, Lei Gong is not afraid of Dagan II's death!"

Among the faint kings of all dynasties, there is no one who went as far as Lei Gong did!A lychee is a hundred dollars, a pineapple is a thousand dollars, these two hundred and five are actually willing to accept.And the most unacceptable thing for Cao Cao is that this trend has actually affected the Izumo Kingdom!

Cheng Yu smiled wryly: "But we can't do without them now. Without them, how would we suppress the millions of savages in Izumo? No matter how extravagant they are, they are still our own!"

Xun You said solemnly: "My lord must also find a way to increase the income of migrant workers, otherwise it will be very bad for my Izumo! In the past, these people in Izumo respected the lord like a god, but now they are full of complaints!"

There is a saying that if you have not seen the light, you can still endure the darkness, but when you see the light, the darkness is extremely difficult to accept.

And this sentence is being fulfilled in the Izumo country. The savages in the Izumo country do not have much knowledge, but they will come into contact with the prosperity of the Dagan no matter how passive they go to work in Dagan, and know the prosperity of the people in Dagan.

After being exposed to such a rich world, it is difficult for them to accept a barren country like Izumo, and they also want to live the same life as the people of Dagan.

But even though they are building Dagan, the prosperity of Dagan has nothing to do with them. No matter how hard they work, they can only earn 600 yuan a month, and half of this money has to be handed over to the court of Yunguo!
In the past, their tribe was under public ownership, so they could accept that the money they earned would be taken away by Cao Cao, and then rewarded to them again. After all, their life was like this before.

But after being exposed to the distribution system of Dagan, they were also polluted by private ownership. Now their low income is bearable, but it is unacceptable for half of their income to be looted by Cao Cao.

It's not that Cao Cao didn't notice this trend, but the labor fee is hundreds of millions of dollars a year, which is one of the important incomes of the Izumo court. Cao Cao is reluctant to give up this income, so he thinks of the way to face the grievances of his followers is to make an example. All the people who complained were not allowed to go to work as migrant workers.

And the Izumo country is an out-and-out feudal country, and they cannot work, so they can only work as serfs in the Izumo country. The income is even worse, and they can barely support their families.

Cao Cao used this approach to suppress the idea of ​​​​the people in Izumo who wanted to increase their income, but the people's resentment towards Cao Cao was getting worse every day.

This has created another situation. Many people in Izumo simply escaped from the labor team and wanted to become a common people. Guo Jia also expected this situation when he dispatched the labor team. In order to prevent his family from The labor force was absorbed by Dagan. At the beginning, Izumo Kingdom and Dagan agreed that if an Izumo citizen was lost, Dagan would compensate Izumo Kingdom 20 yuan.

Although Dagan wants labor, it is obviously not worthwhile to pay 20 yuan for a savage!Therefore, even if the savages escape from the construction site, they will soon be caught by the basic officials of Dagan, so there are very few people who flee from the Izumo country every year!
