The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 316: You leave quickly. Prime Minister Cao is helpless. Years have passed. Prefect Luo inspects Jiangling.

"Sir... we should not do anything recently. Let's wait until she leaves!"

"I am sick!"

You will get sick even if you are not sick. If you are sick, you don’t need to care about Cao Ji anymore.

After the people of the Wei family were killed, the gentry in Yecheng had nothing to say. All the people were dead, so what else could they say? Would anything they said be of any use?

Cao Jie and Cao Cao said, "Father, look, this is good. No one will gossip about us anymore. Yecheng is peaceful now."

Obviously everyone is afraid of you, and you call this peace?
Cao Cao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's just like that. I'm afraid it will damage your reputation in the future."

A woman is so cruel, and I don’t know what those people are saying about Cao Jie behind her back!
I definitely wouldn’t dare to do it in person.

Cao Jie smiled and said indifferently: "If you can't even protect yourself from being forced, what's the point of having a reputation?"

Clenching his fist, Cao Jie was extremely practical: "If your fist is big, you can speak louder."

Cao Cao disagreed: "How can we govern a country like this?"

Cao Jie hurriedly promoted the Jiangling model. All the aristocratic families were reformed and those who were unwilling were eliminated. Now the local aristocratic families in Jiangling are very obedient.

There was no sign that the nobles were dissatisfied.

If you are not satisfied, you will die.

Divide the land and population among the gentry, how cool.

"Father, you really should go to Jiangling to take a look. Father is far inferior to husband in governing the country. Once the aristocracy is disintegrated and eliminated, the people will be encouraged and the world will be changed," Cao Jie's tone was full of temptation.

Jiangling is extremely advanced!

A flush toilet is enough to beat everything in the north.

Cao Cao couldn't let Cao Jie continue talking, or he would be tempted. Cao Cao said, "When will Ah Jie go back? If he doesn't keep an eye on Luo Yuan, he might fall out of favor in the future!"

"My husband is not an ordinary person, he is not like my father. I don't rely on appearance, but on the heart," Cao Ji said, "I will stay for a few more days. Hmm, my father seems to want me to leave?"

Cao Jie reacted and looked at Cao Cao with dissatisfaction. What do you mean? I am still your daughter.

Cao Cao quickly said, "I definitely don't mean that!"

I think so. Cao Jie has made the people in Yecheng panic-stricken. Normally, everyone comes to the Prime Minister's Mansion to chat with Cao Cao, but now no one comes.

what reason?
It’s because of Cao Jie!
This has affected Cao Cao's work.

"Didn't Sun Shangxiang come with you? You don't need to accompany him!"

Cao Cao had no idea about Sun Shangxiang. Sun Shangxiang could not represent Jiangdong and she was Luo Yuan's wife. Some people wanted to do something about Sun Shangxiang, but once Cao Jie killed someone, they became afraid.

If Cao Jie could order Xiong Ying to kill someone, why couldn’t Sun Shangxiang?

Luo Yuan is standing behind the two women, and it’s not something that ordinary people can do!
Cao Jie said: "Shangxiang is curious about the north and went out to play."

What the hell?

Going out to play?
What to do? What fun things are there in the north?

Seeing that Cao Jie was not leaving for the time being, Cao Cao stopped talking and quickly listened, "She won't come to spy on our army, will she?"

"What is father thinking? Shangxiang is good at martial arts. There are many masters in the north. They also like weapons, especially fierce horses. She went to look for these. She will also look for some stones and take them away with her when she comes back!"

The weapon, the Fiery Horse, was easy to understand, and Cao Cao didn't care about it, but he heard about the stone.

Cao Cao's face turned unhappy. He was digging up my northern cultural classics again.'

All of you who came from Jiangling are sick. This must be Luo Yuan's idea.

Pointing at me and taking advantage of me? "Father won't mind a few stones, will he?"

Cao Cao smiled awkwardly. I was very concerned. It was obvious that Cao Jie was looking at him. He didn't want to lose face. "It's just a stone. It's nothing."

"I know that father is generous. That's great. There is black stone in Hedong. Father, please give me a little bit of money next year. A hundred thousand cars a year would be great!"

"Black stone? You mean coal!"

"Does father know too?"

Of course I know that nonsense!
Coal, later called coal, was already being used in the Han Dynasty, but it was only used as fuel. Because it could easily kill people and was said to be poisonous, people did not like to use it.

Cao Cao thought for a moment, his eyes lit up: "Luo Yuan wants coal? He has to pay for it!"

"Why is father so stingy? Those things can be found by just digging in the ground. Why would he need money?"

I could have refused it, but Jiang Ling has earned so much money, is it okay not to pay him?
Cao Cao really wanted money, Cao Jie had no choice but to accept the money.
After waiting for half a month, Sun Shangxiang came back with hundreds of war horses, all of which had very good fur color.

Cao Cao asked curiously, "Sun Ji, where do these war horses come from?"

"Ma Chao gave it to me!"

Cao Cao suddenly didn't want to talk anymore. "Ma Chao? Did you go to find Ma Chao?"
That guy has a good relationship with Luo Yuan?

Cao Cao was very unhappy!
Cao Jie and Sun Shangxiang waited in Yecheng for the entire New Year before leaving Yecheng and returning to Yecheng. The nobles in Yecheng almost cried as they saw them off. This period was very painful for them.

In Jiangling.

After the Chinese New Year, Luo Yuan organized the continued reclamation of wasteland. The temperature is still low now, and spring ploughing can begin in March. Now there are one million acres of land, and it takes two to three hundred thousand people just to farm the land.

There is no need to worry about the large population in Jiangling. If these lands are used to grow crops, even if there are only 300 kilograms of crops per acre, it will be enough for Jiangling to eat for more than a year.

In addition to the grain produced by itself, Luo Yuan can also purchase it from the market. Grain from all over the world is flowing to Jiangling. Jiangling porcelain and white paper are really good.

To buy these things, food is the best currency!

Luo Yuan looked back at Xiahou Dun, who had come to Jiangling during the Chinese New Year. Xiahou Dun grabbed a handful of soil and sighed!

The land in Jiangling is very fertile, especially the Jianghan Plain that Luo Yuan developed. The land is so fertile that oil will ooze out if you grab a handful of it.

No one cultivated it before, but now it has been developed and there is a village of a thousand people not far away!

The roads in the farmland have been repaired since the land was reclaimed. They are paved with stones and compacted with stone rollers. The road quality is still good!
Each piece of land is square, which is convenient for Jiangling to use tools to cultivate.

During the winter, the craftsmen in Jiangling were not idle. They were working hard to produce tools such as earth-moving carts and tractors needed for spring ploughing.

Luo Yuan didn't expect the people to cultivate the land bit by bit, so of course he used machines.

If advanced agricultural tools are not used, they will be forgotten by future generations.

The curved plow was not difficult to make, except that the plowshare needed iron. Luo Yuan simply recycled old weapons and made it. Rows of plowshares were put together, and it took several oxen to pull them. This laid the foundation for large-scale agriculture.

Not surprisingly, Jiangling's agricultural efficiency will be dozens of times higher than other places. Some of the spare land that is not suitable for the large-scale agricultural model will be used by the people to grow medicinal herbs, and Jiangling will purchase them in large quantities.

Especially licorice!
This stuff is so sweet. If the yield comes out this year, Luo Yuan can make sugar.

Xiahou Dun had forgotten the purpose of coming to Jiangling, and was obsessed with the land. He was also cultivating the land in the north, and this old man was also an expert in farming.

"Please, can you sell some of those plows?"

"I still don't have enough, sell it?"

impossible.

Luo Yuan held his hand up: "We won't sell our country's most valuable weapon!"
