Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 766
Cao Pi was reflecting on why everything went wrong when he ascended the throne. Could it be that he is really inferior to his father Cao Cao?
Celebrities and generals withered?Why is my father alive like a cloud of wise men and fierce generals? It is impossible for these people to be born together, and when they come to me, they will not be able to produce any capable people.Looking at his territory, Cao Pi sighed helplessly. It was half the size of his father's heyday. The small area caused a shortage of talents and formed a vicious circle. This can only be explained in this way.

Of course, it is not without bright spots. In the battle of Jieting, Jiang Wei rose as a new star, which made Cao Pi see hope again. With Cao Zhen and Jiang Wei in Yongliang, he would not be afraid of Zhuge Liang, but only plotted against Yizhou. Ideas don't know when they will come true.Cao Pi issued an edict to promote Jiang Wei to Pingxi General and Pavilion Hou.

There is Cao Ren in Dongjun, and Xiahou is still in Jingzhou, so you can rest assured.Cao Pi was a little worried about Yuzhou. Lu Qian went to play, Zhang Liao, the general who conquered the East, was ill. Thinking about Zhang Wenyuan's [-] riders defeating Sun Quan's [-] people, and his power in Xiaoyaojin, Cao Pi couldn't hold back his excitement. How did you get sick?Sima Yi recommended Guo Huai to be stationed in Huainan, and Cao Pi thought it was very suitable. Guo Huai showed his military talents in Hanzhong. Zhao Guohuai took Zhang Hu to Huainan to receive defense, and Zhang Liao returned to Luoyang to recuperate.It's just a pity that Cao Pi's edict needs to be sent from Luoyang to Chang'an, and Guo Huai will go to Huainan from Chang'an.

Facing the ever-shrinking chassis, Cao Pi was not reconciled.The terrain in Hanzhong is dangerous, and Zhuge Liang still stays there in person, so it is not easy to take; Zhou Cang's power is too great, and his morale is high, so it is not easy to provoke.After all the calculations, only Sun Quan, who was huddled in Jingnan, was the best bully. I heard that Sun Quan was obsessed with developing southward, and the governor Han Dang did not become old and immortal, and Ling commanded the navy commander.Cao Pi came up with the idea of ​​personally conquering Jingnan and seizing the four counties, and he sent a secret edict to Xia Houshang to build warships and prepare for the southern expedition.

There is another person who really makes it difficult for Cao Pi to choose, the superior Meng Da.Meng Da is talented, he sent troops to Hanzhong to dawdle, Zhuge Liang immediately turned around when he returned to the army, saying that he had colluded with Zhuge Liang, he sent his son to Cao Zhen to express his sincerity; contribute.Putting such a person in Shangyong is really not worrying. Cao Pi is really worried that if Meng Da is transferred away, he refuses to leave and switch to Zhuge Liang, and it is possible that Meng Da will be destroyed.

Sima Yi had this idea and mentioned it several times.This time, Sima Yi said bluntly this time, Cheng Wu had talked to Shen Dan and Shen Yi in Shangyong, but Meng Da couldn't resist.The Nanzheng happened to be short of people, so Cao Pi ordered Jin Mengda to be the Marquis of Xincheng, and he went to Beijing to face the saint, and planned to have a confession with Mengda.

In the Great War in 8, Cao Pi lost a total of [-] people. Despite the suspicion of militarism, Cao Pi ordered [-] soldiers to be recruited from all over the country to make up for the shortfall.For Cao Wei, this is undoubtedly drinking poison to quench thirst. If there is a public opinion poll, Cao Pi's support rate will drop by at least [-] percentage points.But at this time, public opinion was at the level of scholar-bureaucrats, but the support rate rose again by ten percentage points.Just because Zhou Cang is already a scourge and a public enemy of the old forces.For example, Cui Lin represents the Cui family, and Zhou Cang is incompatible even if he sells everything.

It was the middle of winter, but Sun Quan was enjoying the tropical fruits very comfortably.The Western Expedition was simply destructive. The natives had no advantage except relying on the rainforest, so a large number of trees were cut down and sent to Jiangnan Road in exchange for luxury goods. Sun Quan did not forget to develop production and sent people to grow tea. It made Sun Quan smile.If I knew this earlier, why should I fight Cao Cao and Zhou Cang to the death, how free and easy it is to claim the king.

When Zhang Wen came back from Jinan, the tribute dispute became a joke. The tribute dedicated to the emperor should be separated into the treasury and the national treasury, which is simply laughable.Only Zhang Zhao and Zhuge Jin are heavy-hearted, and the foundation of the big man is getting deeper and deeper, and it will be indestructible if it goes on like this.The affairs of the world are no longer decided by the emperor. Everything is based on state affairs. Even if there is a foolish king, it will not be affected. What's more, Zhou Cang is not in Jinan, even if Zhou Cang will establish this system a hundred years later. Still, the big man will not waver.

"Your Majesty, although we have a ten-year agreement with Zhou Weiguo, we still need to hurry up to immigrate from Jingnan."

"Yeah, I know." Sun Quan nodded, it was too little for a piece of land as big as Myanmar, with only [-] Han people. "Ling Zhongxiang and Zishan moved [-] households to Yuezhou and Mainzhou respectively this year."

Zhang Zhao sighed slightly, [-] households seemed a lot, but after they dispersed, there were still sporadic ones.Zhuge Jin coughed lightly: "Your Majesty, my subject Zhuge Ke followed Wen Zhong and Fan Li's actions, and presented strategies to enrich the country and strengthen the people, please have your Majesty's attention."

Zhuge Ke's eloquence has thousands of words, all of which are aimed at the current situation:

One is to increase the population.All women over the age of 41 should be married, and widows under the age of [-] should remarry for a year.If there are more than two children, they will be raised by the official family.

The second is to open up wasteland and cultivate fields.All the uncultivated land belongs to the pioneers and is exempted from tax for three years. The uncultivated land will be confiscated by the government after one year and redistributed or converted into military settlements.

The third is to change the criminal law.Abolish corporal punishment, depending on the severity of the punishment, the punishment is light and heavy hard labor; those who commit capital crimes will be punished with heavy labor and hard labor for a lifetime.

The fourth is to develop commerce and trade.Follow the example of the Han Dynasty and switch to new currency, open banks, and make new currency by ourselves; expand business exchanges with Jiangnan Road.

The fifth is to recruit wise men.The north is war-torn, and the south is stable. Those who move south to avoid the war will be subsidized by the officials and selected as officials.Those who disagree with the political views of Han and Wei will be given asylum and accepted to avoid disaster.

The sixth is to streamline the administration.Release the old and weak soldiers back to the countryside to serve the people, and train the remaining elite; appropriately decentralize power to the states and counties, and fully develop production.

Sun Quan was delighted after seeing it. "Shu has Kongming, Han has Zhoucang, and Zhuge Ke is alone, and he has a man." This should be regarded as the basic national policy for the past ten years.In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people, this strategy will only be used for ten years at most, and adjustments will be made when everything is on the right track.

Sun Quan started from himself first, reducing the number of maids in the mansion, some were sent home, and the homeless were betrothed to soldiers in the army, so as to give birth to children as soon as possible.Not long after Liu Bei's death, Sun Wen died of illness, and Sun Quan no longer had to think about finding a suitable person to marry.

Zhuge Ke made meritorious contributions and was promoted to the governor of Myanmar. Sun Quan was going to train him well, and he would become a minister of Tuogu in the future.

At the beginning of [-], Sun Quan, the king of Nanyue, formally canonized the eldest son Sun He as his son, Zhang Zhao as his chancellor, Yu Fan, Bu Zhi, Zhuge Jin, Zhang Wen, Xue Zong, and Sun Shao as Liuqing, Zhu Zhi as the governor of Jingnan, Lu Lu Dai was the governor of Yuezhou, and Zhuge Ke was the governor of Myanmar.Similar to Zhou Cang's method, Zhu Huan, Zhu Ran, Zhu Ju, and He Qi were the commanders of the four armies in the southeast and northwest, Ling Tong was the commander of the navy, and Cheng Zi was the commander of the navy.Start your own grand career.
