Cao Thief

Chapter 149 Boring hair and making a fortune (33) After the third shift, ask for a monthly pass!

Yatang, study.

Pu Yangkai looked at Cao Peng with incredible eyes.

But Bu Zhi sat aside, looking at the stack of regulations in his hand seriously, feeling a little dizzy.

If these were done by an adult, such as myself, such as Deng Ji, Bu Zhi would never feel this way.

The person who did this was Cao Peng.

And the person who planned this matter from beginning to end was also Cao Peng.

One is only 14 years old... oh, well, according to Cao Peng, he will soon be 15 years old!A 15-year-old boy may be able to fight the enemy or fight on the battlefield.But when it comes to negotiating... Bu Zhi is really not at ease with Cao Peng.

After all, this kind of thing is meticulous work, and there is no need to fight.

Cao Peng, on the other hand, looked frustrated, and said with a sad face: "My knife is still light. Those guys didn't discuss it at all, so they agreed to it. If this is the case, I will raise the management tax to [-] guan. Look at those guys. The grandson agreed so happily, eight hundred guan is less!"

Pu Yangkai smiled wryly...

"Youxue, what are you collecting these taxes for?"

Bu Zhi put down those contracts, looked at Cao Peng, and asked softly.

"What's the use, of course it is to raise soldiers."

"what?"

"Otherwise, what's the use of me setting up the Cao Cao Department?"

Puyang Kai couldn't help squinting his eyes, looked at Cao Peng, and asked softly after a while, "Do you want to suppress the bandits?"

Cao Peng stood up, walked out of the study, looked around, and then shouted loudly: "Hu Ban, pass down the order that no one should approach the study for twenty steps."

"Here!"

Hu Ban is now almost the steward of the county government.

With Zhou Cang, Xia Houlan, and Pan Zhang and Feng Chao being appointed one by one, Cao Peng would not be able to call them back and forth like before.

Seeing Hu Ban's response, Cao Peng felt relieved and turned back.

"Mr. Puyang, Mr. Zishan... To tell you the truth, County Magistrate Deng has never stopped thinking of suppressing the pirates. It's just that we all know that those pirates have eyes and ears in the county. Once the Haixi County soldiers added, The thief will inevitably get wind of it, and the first to strike first.

Therefore, Magistrate Deng discussed with me and decided to declare to the outside world that only one hundred patrol soldiers would be recruited and no more troops would be added.

But the number of soldiers must be expanded... As we gain a firm foothold in Haixi County, sooner or later we will violate the interests of some people.Don't think we are living in peace with the pirates now, but I dare say that sooner or later there will be a conflict between us, a life-and-death conflict. "

Pu Yangkai and Bu Zhi were expressionless and silent.

In fact, why don't they understand this truth?

It's just that they know better that the pirates will never allow Deng Ji to grow bigger once they wantonly expand their army.

"You set up the Cao Cao Department..."

"Haixi needs stability, and the market needs stability even more. I used the excuse of rectifying the market to secretly recruit soldiers. The number will not be too many, a hundred is enough. At that time, I will hand over these people to the fifth brother and the seventh brother Come to manage, use the name of the market to secretly train soldiers and horses."

"Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chencang?"

Bu Zhi's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Cao Peng meant.

Cao Peng nodded and sighed softly, "Our strength is still weak after all."

He smiled wryly and said: "If we have enough strength, why bother to sneak around? This is something we can't help. Some things are difficult for Magistrate Deng to come forward, so I simply let me be the villain. Not enough!"

"Youxue, take your time."

Pu Yangkai didn't know how to explain it, so he could only comfort him gently.

"Ha, I'm fine..."

Cao Peng took a deep breath and cheered himself up.

He suddenly asked: "Mr. Zishan, have those properties of Chen Sheng been cleaned up?"

"It has been cleared up in general... The property under this person's name is quite astonishing. Apart from the twelve shops in the North Market, and dabbling in various industries, there are still thousands of hectares of fertile land. He is in a villa outside the city. Thousands of households are all attached to Chen Sheng's name, not in the government's household registration. This is not the case of Chen Sheng's family, including many households, there is a phenomenon of hidden population... I have a headache now, how to deal with these thousands of households ? If Chen Sheng's property is confiscated, how will these people survive?"

Cao Peng thought for a while, "Garn the fields!"

"Ok?"

"Imitate what Duke Cao did in Xudu, let's farm in Haixi."

"Turning the fields... is one way. If we can farm the fields, at least Haixi no longer needs to import grain and rice from outside, and it can also ensure that the warehouses are full. However, our population is not large. Only a few thousand households can It is difficult to become a climate, and it has little effect."

After Cao Peng heard this, he also felt a bit of a headache...

What Bu Zhi said is indeed a real problem.

Over the years, due to repeated raids by bandits, the Haixi people have seldom engaged in farming.This also caused a very serious consequence, that is, Haixi County was seriously affected by foreign influences.Without the people's livelihood industry and relying on imports, it will be difficult to develop for a long time.

Cao Peng asked: "Mr. Puyang, how many people do you think will be hiding in those merchants' homes?"

"Oh, I've been sorting out the files during this time, and I've also paid attention to this situation. Haixi's current hiding population is about 8000 to [-] people? Well, almost this number, I guess it will only be more, and it will never be more than this Less. Why, why are you asking this?"

"Can you let them release these hidden people?"

Pu Yangkai and Bu Zhi looked at each other, and shook their heads in unison, "This, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"What if there are benefits?"

"That depends on how big the benefit is... If it's too small, these businessmen will probably not agree."

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, what was the most important?

Answer: Population!

Unlike the era of hot weapons in the later generations, the era of cold weapons is fought by manpower.

Cao Cao pacified Qingzhou, but he refused to kill the millions of yellow scarves, why?For the population!
And in Soochow, the Sun family continued to wage war on Shanyue, encircling and suppressing the aborigines... It was said that it was a dispute between barbarians and barbarians, but what they were looking for was actually population!
With people, you can farm, fight wars, have children, and continue to increase the population.

Speaking of which, in addition to having a prominent family background and inherited family education, those clan lords also control a large amount of land and population resources.

How could these businessmen in Haixi not understand this truth?

As Bu Zhi said, without a huge interest, do you want them to give up their resources?Very difficult, very big!

But the question is, in Cao Peng's hands, what huge benefits are there to sell?

--------------------------

It was late at night, and Cao Peng was sitting in the room, flipping through the boxes in front of him.

Nine chains?
Can this fucking be a gift too?
And this thing, isn't it just a finely carved doll, as if I were a child?
The items placed in the box are all ingenious and obscene objects given to Cao Peng by the Haixi businessman through Wang Cheng.But honestly, it's useless.

Cao Peng is not interested in this thing at all.

However, he was very surprised, how could Wang Cheng think of this?

Is it by chance, or with ulterior motives?

Tonight, Wang Cheng did not appear in Feiyang Pavilion.This is what Cao Peng deliberately did...

He wanted to see how Wang Cheng would react!But according to Hu Ban's report, Wang Cheng was very calm and didn't even respond.

For dinner he dined in a wine shop in Siri.

Then I went home and went to sleep...

This is not the reaction a normal person should have.

If it were Cao Peng, after a busy work, he would not even be qualified to attend, he would definitely be unhappy.

This guy is weird!

Cao Peng picked up the jade ball from the desk and started playing with it.

"Ah Fu, why don't you rest?"

"Brother Tiger Head, I'm thinking about something!"

Wang Mai lived in the wing room next to Cao Peng. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he found that the light in Cao Peng's room was still on.

He rubbed his eyes and said in a daze, "Ah Fu, don't sleep too late. If you can't figure it out, don't think about it first, and talk about it later."

"I see……"

Cao Peng put down the jade balls, but he didn't want the two jade balls to roll over the desk and accidentally knocked over the Yuki copper town on the edge of the desk.

Tongzhenkou fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

Wang Mai hurried up, picked up the copper town, fiddled with it in his hands, and was about to put it on the desk, but suddenly said: "Ah Fu, look at this fish's mouth, it's really interesting."

"Ok?"

Cao Peng reached out to take it, and swept his eyes.

Frowning slightly, he hurriedly took the copper weight in his hand, put it under the light, and observed it carefully.

"This fish mouth is indeed a bit weird. How does it feel..." Cao Peng raised his head, looked at Wang Mai and said, "I can't tell, but it seems to be different. Fish kiss, fish kiss... how do I feel?" , the shape of this fish mouth seems to be a lock cylinder."

"is it?"

Wang Mai took it and stared at it for a long time.

"No way... In my opinion, you are just tired, you should take a rest earlier."

"Um……"

Cao Peng secretly got lucky and nodded.

"Maybe, I'm suspicious!"

"Ah Fu, I think you've been a little crazy recently! Why should you care too much about such ingenious obscene skills?"

"Yeah, I think so too... wait a minute, what did you just say?"

Cao Peng stood up abruptly, his eyes widened.

Startled Wang Mai, he stammered, "I didn't say anything."

"You said it, you said I..."

"Oh, I said you have been a little crazy recently."

"Not this sentence, but the latter sentence."

Wang Mai scratched his head, smiled and said: "I mean, there is no need to be too concerned about this kind of ingenious obscenity."

Kit Kat!

He grabbed the Yukiss copper weight and turned to look at the box next to it.There was a burning light in his eyes, and his mind seemed to become much clearer in an instant.

Fish Kiss Copper Town—Li Guangli’s Treasure—The Death of the Power of Previous County Magistrates—Wang Cheng—The Strange Things in Front of You—Mai Cheng...

Cao Peng seemed to understand, and suddenly felt a hairy feeling, and a layer of goose bumps suddenly appeared on his body.

"Afu, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Cao Peng's ugly face, Wang Mai hurried forward to support Cao Peng.

"Brother Hutou, there is still one link, one link!"

"What link?"

Cao Peng took a deep breath and said softly, "A link that can solve all the mysteries!"
