But the advantage is that it is located in the Central Plains, with convenient transportation and easy recruitment of talents.

However, the current Shu region is easy to manage, easy to defend, and has abundant wealth, but it is easy for people not to make progress.

Now Cao Cao is beginning to think about the inheritance of the foundation a hundred years from now.

So I instinctively want to suppress businessmen.

This is what any unified monarch wants to do.

Cui Cheng understood this very well, so he said: "In addition to that, they can find ways to buy out the rich people's excess food, and then bring all kinds of novel and necessary things to the rich, such as organizing manpower

Go to the mountains to collect ice, so that countless poor people can have food to eat. These poor people will not rebel."

"And rich people can also enjoy the coolness of autumn on hot days, getting the best of both worlds."

"If there are no businessmen to coordinate the operation, the rich people's food will just rot in the granaries, while the poor people will have no jobs, and they will become thieves and bandits, causing chaos, and then drag the imperial court into collapse."

After Cui Cheng finished speaking, Cao Cao suddenly understood and hurriedly said: "Fortunately, Mr. Cao Cao was able to rein in the situation and make up for it."

"My lord is good at accepting advice, which King Xuan of ancient Qi could not match." Cui Cheng was very happy.

Then Cao Cao ordered that businessmen should be treated equally and could be officials.

However, it is necessary to abide by the laws and regulations and not abuse workers.

Of course, Cao Cao set the rules for others. He built his own tomb and abused the laborers.

In short, fucking adults is a natural double standard.

In the early days, it was said that more than one hundred people would be born, and the thought of it would break people's hearts.

The problem is that not many years after this poem was written, he went on a massacre of Xuzhou and massacred the city.

You say you want to take revenge, but that's all you need to do to take revenge on the nine culprits. Why are you taking revenge on those innocent people in Xuzhou?

And after all, Xuzhou still has a factor, and it will be the same massacre in other places.

The Three Kingdoms already had few people, but you still slaughtered them. Cao Cao has an unshirkable responsibility for Wuhu's destruction of China.

In the north where he unified the Han people, the power of the Han people declined too much, and the population declined too much, so that the Hu people could rebel and suppress the Han people.

It has to be said that it is related to Cao Cao's strategy of massacring the city.

Then came the matter of the Four Books and Five Classics.

Cui Cheng also wanted to open a school to train craftsmen and miscellaneous students. These are the ways to become strong.

Just teaching the Four Books and Five Classics can make people behave in peacetime.

Even the barbarians knew that in the massacre, the blacksmiths, carpenters, cobblers and other craftsmen would be left behind.

But when the city was massacred in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, even these craftsmen could not survive.

why is that?

The Confucian scholars suppressed it day by day, making Tao far superior to art, divorced from the fundamentals and reality, and reduced to metaphysics and famous teachings, rather than true knowledge that can truly change the world.

As a result, those people thought that craftsmen were nothing, so they could just kill them.

Cui Cheng certainly couldn't think like that at this time. If he wanted to defeat the Taihang Mountain people, he had to support the craftsmen.

In this way, sharper weapons and stronger armor can be made.

However, if craftsmen are not given corresponding status, the things they make will be shoddy or hastily made.

Cao Cao was indeed cruel and directly ordered the identity of the manufacturer to be inscribed on the weapons. Anyone who made inferior weapons or armor would be beheaded if he showed up three times.

It's just that this kind of beheading without any reason is obviously intolerable to the craftsmen.

Because we are not in the future, there are no standard measurement tools. Sometimes they are good and sometimes they are not right. This is normal.

And the most important thing is that the craftsmen have lost their enthusiasm.

In order to pursue stable quality, everyone makes the simplest, most commonly used and most adept weapons.

As for innovation?

Invention, transformation?

what is that?

Looking for death.

Those who work know that innovation means bugs and a lot of trouble.

These craftsmen don't want to have too much trouble. Once something happens, they will die.

Someone commented: "This is not as good as before. This Governor Cao is three feet taller than the sky."

"Huh, what he wants is fame and money."

"We craftsmen's life is too hard. I heard that there is Taihang in the north. It is a paradise. It is better to escape."

"Go together, go together."

Under Cao Cao's rule, the people lived in poverty; it was far worse than under Liu Bei's rule.

However, Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei.

It can be seen that public support is relative. It should be said that public support can reduce obstacles in collection and reduce costs.

If this point can be made up for in other ways, there is nothing to worry about if there is no popular support.

The premise is that you must have strong enough force as your base to convince many people to take the initiative to be neutral.

Cao Cao had force, but the craftsmen could not resist.

I don’t want to be killed because of inferior products.

This has resulted in more and more craftsmen fleeing.

And many people actually traveled thousands of miles to the Taihang Mountains and trekked to escape to the Taihang Mountains.

These words were spoken by businessmen.

They say that the Taihang Mountains are the real place for doing business. Everyone is equal, business is harmonious, no one is angry, everyone has work to do, and everyone has food to eat. It is really a paradise.

There are no gangsters nearby, they have all been wiped out.

It's simply unbelievable.

After Cao Cao heard the secret message, he silently thought:

It seems that my future opponent will be that Taihang Mountain man.

What to do with him?

You cannot let the other party develop as they wish.

Although the other party is located in a mountainous area, it is naturally not good at developing the economy.

When it comes to the economy, Shu has more potential.

There are grain, grass, supplies, and soldiers, which is much better than the barren Taihang Mountains.

In the end, Cao Cao chose the method of blocking, and then the escapees were killed.

For a while, the craftsmen didn't dare to run anymore.

Cui Chengze and Cao Cao discussed how to deal with the Taihang Mountain man.

"My lord, you can promote the essence of his doctrine, which is rebellion, expose him to the world, and then gather the power of the world to attack." Cui Cheng said fiercely.

A few days ago, he received a letter from home saying that people from the Taihang Mountains had come out of the mountains.

And build unique military forts on the plains.

The things Wen Rensheng did and the words he said were enough to make everyone from aristocratic families in the world become his enemy.

But Cui Cheng didn't expect that Lin Tiancheng was not in a hurry to expand at this time.

Because he knew that the pace of expansion was too big, which would ultimately be detrimental to the development of this culture.

A unified empire lacks the full nourishment of this economy and culture. The more developed it is, the faster it will decline.

Wen Rensheng wants to turn the entire Taihang Mountain into a very core place.

Always prepare fortifications.

The offensive level of soldiers in this era is simply not enough to defeat them.

Now there is no air force, and without airdrop troops, we simply cannot defeat the Taihang Mountains.

Acting too slowly.

There are various issues to consider. Marching in the mountains is like a death march.

Cui Cheng then launched a debate among scholars from the north and the south.

"They are so rebellious that they dare to oppose what Saint Kong said. This is simply rebellious."

Kong Rong said: "The king, the king, the minister, the father, the son, the son, is this orthodox? Can this make society stable?"

"Although I am a descendant of Saint Kong, this Taihang Mountain man was right. Father and son must be equal, and fathers cannot rely on their father's fists to conquer their children."
