    Yanzhou, the Prefectural Mufu.

    Cao Xuan was busy looking through the information about Yuzhou. After all, after Liu Heng surrendered, Yuzhou officials experienced an initial adjustment and a big change.  Cao Xuan was worried about the situation in Yuzhou, so he was very cautious and often paid attention to the local situation in Yuzhou.

    Fortunately, the governors appointed by Cao Xuan to Yuzhou were all capable people and very good at governing the place.  Therefore, under the governance of Cao Xuan's officials, Yuzhou is rapidly changing and becoming Cao Xuan's power.

    While Cao Xuan was looking through the information, the chamberlain came in and reported: "Lord Zhou Mu, the military advisor wants to see you."

    "please!"

    Cao Xuan gave an order.

    The chamberlain turned around to report. Not long after, Cen Wen entered.

    Before Cen Wen could salute after standing still, Cao Xuan waved his hand and said: "Commander, just sit down. I have said that when you come, just enter directly. There is no need to inform, so why bother?"

    Cen Wen said seriously: "The etiquette cannot be abolished, how can I overstep it? What's more, I didn't waste any time."

    Cao Xuan shook his head, and after Cen Wen sat down, he said: "Military advisor, you are here at the right time. I have looked at the governance situation of the entire Yuzhou, and now the county officials we have sent are all very good and have established a firm foothold. However,  In my opinion, it is still not enough. The military adviser thinks, what else do we need to do? Should we follow the example of Qi and allocate some land to the people for farming."

    "My lord, no!"

    As soon as Cen Wen heard this, he quickly answered.

    Cao Xuandao: "Why?"

    Cen Wen explained: "Lord, there are three reasons why I object."

    Cao Xuandao: "I would like to hear the details."

    Cen Wen explained: "First, the situations in Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Qi are different. The foundations of most aristocratic families in Qi have been eradicated. Either because of the Qingzhou bandits or because of Zhang Shiqi's massacre.  Or it¡¯s because of Yuan Wei¡¯s tyranny.¡±

    "In short, the existence of these people has wiped out the influence of the aristocratic family for Wang Qi, causing the aristocratic family to either be destroyed or greatly weakened. Even if the aristocratic family is not willing, it has no power to oppose."

    "Therefore, the aristocratic family can only cooperate with Wang Qi."

    "Secondly, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Yangzhou and other places have become sparsely populated due to lack of population. Many places have become ownerless land and sparsely populated. As soon as Wang Qi arrived, he took advantage of the situation and easily took over these lands.  Gather them up and incorporate them into the Qi court."

    "Wang Qi collected these lands without any influence at all."

    "After all, people are dead and the land is idle."

    "Third, after Wang Qi established his foothold in the Qi State, he formed the most solid foundation and has strong strength. Today, even if Wang Qi continues to pursue this strategy, it will have no impact. This is the general trend."

    Cen Wen said: "Looking at us, Yanzhou and Yuzhou have just stabilized, especially our foothold. Moreover, the master has this foundation now with the help of the Yanzhou family."

    "At this time, if we implement the land reform policy, wouldn't we be digging our own graves? What's more, our overall strength cannot be separated from the family, and there is not so much idle land."

    "So when it comes to land reform, there is no need to think about it again."

    "If my lord really has this idea, he can arrange for people to collect the vacant land in the local area, and take over these lands one by one for the imperial court, and then implement military settlements."

    "The area we are in needs to implement military settlements. We cannot give too much to the people. After all, we must first satisfy ourselves. Only when the army is self-sufficient can we have sufficient supplies."

    Cen Wen said: "Otherwise, if we really start a war with Wang Qi again, it will be detrimental to us."

    After hearing this, Cao Xuan nodded and couldn't help but sigh.

    Although he knew that Wang Qi's development was better, Cao Xuan had no choice.  Because at the moment, he has no way to solve the matter. The power of the family cannot be solved for the time being, so he must rely on the family.

    Cen Wen saw Cao Xuan sighing and said: "My lord, in fact, although Wang Qi has weakened the aristocratic family, these aristocratic families still exist. Once one day, the aristocratic family counterattacks, it will be a huge counterattack for Wang Qi. It seems like a huge counterattack.  Wang Qi is in full bloom now, but he is actually in danger. He gets the benefits, and naturally has to bear the risks."

    Cao Xuan nodded, and he couldn't help but sigh.  Cao Xuan changed the subject and said, "Military advisor, let's get down to business. What's the reason for your coming?"

    Cen Wen said: "It's news about Wang Qi."

    Cao Xuandao: "What news?"

    Cen Wen saidIn the future, there will be no way around the king¡¯s Wei State.  "

    "This is the most basic baseline."

    Cen Wen said: "So now, the little emperor directly rewards you and makes you the King of Wei. In the final analysis, the little emperor still has no strength and hopes to use his strength to help you resist Wang Qi."

    Cao Xuan stroked the beard under his chin, laughed suddenly, and said: "That's true, but for us, regardless of whether the little emperor gives benefits or not, we must resist Wang Qi. If we don't resist Wang Qi, we ourselves  It's going to be destroyed. So overall, it's a good thing for us."

    Cen Wen said: "What the king said is true."

    "Report!"

    At this time, another soldier entered and reported: "Master Zhou Mu, there is the latest intelligence sent back, which is about Zhao Li in the south."

    Cao Xuan took it and quickly checked it.  After reading this, he waved his hand and the soldiers retreated. Cao Xuandao said: "Military advisor, Zhao Li has transferred his troops and left. He is quickly heading north along the border and is about to enter the Guanzhong area."

    "Zhao Li's trip north this time was quite unexpected, and he hid his whereabouts, so we didn't notice it at first. We didn't get the news until Zhao Li was already close to Guanzhong and about to enter the vicinity of Luoyang."

    "This time, let Zhao Li run away."

    Cao Xuan sighed: "If I had known this, I would have arranged for Wu Fa to take action, directly enter Zhao Li's army, capture Zhao Li, and let him temporarily stay in the south to defend against Chu."

    Cen Wen said: "We still need to rely on the court before, and even now. If we don't break up, we can still get benefits from the court. Therefore, killing Zhao Li is not very realistic."

    "Now that Zhao Li is gone, let's go. It won't have much impact on us. The most important thing now is that without Zhao Li at the border, the Chu State needs to be appeased and even win over."

    "I suggest that we send an envoy to form an alliance with the Chu State. This is the most suitable arrangement. After all, after forming an alliance with the Chu State, we can help each other in offense and defense, so that we can have greater confidence in resisting Wang Qi."

    Cen Wen said: "Especially at the border, you don't have to worry about Chu's sneak attacks all the time."

    Cao Xuan thought for a while and said: "What the military advisor said is true. Wang Qi's strength has increased, and the pressure on Chu has increased. Furthermore, we are different from before. I am now the king of Wei, and I have jurisdiction over Yuzhou and Yanzhou.  The land also has the capital to negotiate with the Chu State. It¡¯s just a matter of sending an envoy, who does the military advisor think is suitable?"

    Cen Wen thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to personally visit Chu State. It involves a dialogue between the two countries. This is a big matter, and the two parties are united. This national policy is also related to the future of Wei. Therefore, I personally want to visit Chu State.  trip."

    Cao Xuan thought for a while and said, "Thank you for your hard work, military advisor."

    Cen Wen said: "I don't have to work hard."

    After a pause, Cen Wen stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I am going to prepare to go on an envoy. The situation is urgent now. If I go south to reach an alliance earlier, it will be conducive to the union of our two countries."

    Cao Xuandao: "Military advisor, please pay attention to safety."

    Cen Wen bowed to Cao Xuan, stood up and left.  He went straight back to his house, changed his clothes, and then rode south.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
