In Jibei, in the shogunate of General Zhengdong, Cao Cao was worrying about a pile of official documents.
"I want money and food!"
"I want money and food!"
"I still need money and food"
Almost all official documents have the same content - money is needed; and it is urgent!
"Hey!" It is said that a penny can stump a heroic man, but these days, even a traitor's family doesn't have enough food left!
Cao Cao knew that the prefects in various counties had no choice. Millions of refugees needed to be resettled, and the daily rations they consumed were an astonishing amount. Spring would begin in more than a month. In order to resume production, they had to provide food to the refugees. Prepare cattle, seeds, and farm tools, even if you don¡¯t have money
But the problem is that there is no money. According to the report of the clerk in charge of the warehouse, the last nest of rats in the warehouse has run away from hunger. If they continue to be hungry, they will eat people!
Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is not completely unfounded. After many years of war, Yanzhou has long been dilapidated. The population is only 23/10 of its original size, and the money and food that can be collected is even more limited. We cannot continue to resettle refugees. Force all the original people to rebel!
But what can Cao Cao do? The county guards under him have tried their best. In order to relieve the people, Xun Yu and others donated all their property, but it is still a drop in the bucket. According to reports from his subordinates, due to lack of money and food, the newly recruited surrendered The 'Qingzhou Soldiers' have shown signs of instability, and deserters have even begun to appear. If this continues, once a large-scale riot breaks out, no one will be able to suppress it!
"What should I do?"
"What to do!"
"Report~~ Shanyang County has sent an urgent envoy from Hong Ling!"
"What? It's Shanyang, pass it on quickly!" Cao Cao was shocked when he heard the report from the subordinate officials. Nowadays, all parts of Yanzhou, including Shanyang County, are relatively peaceful. Not only did Xiao Yi not complain to him, but he was also able to hand over some money and food for emergencies from time to time. , if something happens again here, it will be completely over.
"My subordinates pay homage to Duke Cao!" Xiao Bin walked in with a dusty face, holding a sealed letter bucket tightly in his hand, with three red chicken feathers symbolizing urgency stuck to it.
"Get up quickly, what's going on with Xiao Lang?" Cao Cao knew Xiao Bin, so he was even more surprised. It seemed that something big had happened, otherwise Xiao Yi would never have sent out all his personal soldiers!
The subordinate officer on the side was about to go over to receive the letter bucket, but was stopped by Xiao Bin. At the same time, he touched the waist knife and said, "The general has an order. This letter can only be opened by Mr. Cao himself. Anyone else who tampers with it will be killed without mercy!"
"Give it to me!" Cao Cao took the sealed letter bucket with his own hands, and then pointed the wax seal end to the light on the table and burned it. As the wax slowly melted, the letter bucket finally opened!
The letter was written on a piece of white silk. It only contained a few lines of text, but Cao Cao was stunned when he read it. It took him a long time to spit out a few words from his mouth, "The tomb of King Liang Xiao~ A million-strong army can use money for several years" , dig! Don¡¯t dig?¡±
"Quickly, invite Mr. Guo Jia!" Although it was already late at night, Cao Cao still ordered his top advisers to be invited. The matter was really too big, big enough to break the sky, but if it was done, it would You can get your own world!
The content of Xiao Yixin is very simple. In the process of exterminating mountain bandits, he accidentally discovered the tomb of King Xiao of Liang and Liu Wu. Now he has determined the specific location and found the entrance to the tomb. It is said that there is a large amount of money buried inside. Now Xiao Yi Please tell Cao Cao, should we take this astonishing wealth or not?
"Wuchou, you have put me in a dilemma!" Cao Cao knew that if he could take out the money, the biggest problem he faced would be solved. Not only could the refugees be resettled well, but he would also have the financial resources to continue to expand his army and compete for it. The territory will soar into the sky!
But on the other hand, this matter is too sensitive. Digging up graves is a bad thing, not to mention that the target is Liang Xiaowang Liu Wu, who is the younger brother of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and the uncle of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He had launched an attack on the throne, and almost came to the throne. He was really only half a step away from the throne. If his tomb was dug up, people in the world would talk about it, and the spitting stars would be even more scolded. Indispensable.
In fact, tomb robbing is no longer a secret. Ever since Dong Zhuo dug up the imperial tombs outside Luoyang City, all the princes in the world ostensibly attacked them in unison, but secretly they were all following the same pattern and making a lot of money from the dead. As far as Cao Cao knew Yuan Shao from Hebei Province, Yuan Shu from Huainan Province and others were excavating tombs privately and collecting gold, silver and jewels from them to expand their strength. In troubled times, the living could not live in peace, and the dead could not sleep in peace either!
"Where is Xiao Lang now, and what does he have to say?"
"My general stationed his troops in Mangdang Mountain. He also said that there is noNo matter what decision Mr. Cao makes, he will fully support it! If it really caused eternal infamy, he would be willing to bear it with Mr. Cao! "
"Xiao Lang is interested!" Nodding, Cao Cao understood that this was giving him the final decision-making power, and Xiao Yi's own attitude was inclined to dig, and he was even prepared to be scolded for tens of thousands of years. The preparation of the living is more important than the dead.
Compared with the tombs of emperors and generals, the common people are more important!
"Why did my lord call me?" Guo Jia came running in his underwear, his hair disheveled, and he smelled strongly of alcohol. It looked like he had drank a lot before going to bed.
"Fengxiao, come and see!" Cao Cao handed over the secret letter, then took out one of his own robes and put it on Guo Jia. It was his consistent style to care for his subordinates, and it was this kind of subtle friendship that , allowed Cao Cao to win over countless people.
"Xiao Lang, you have done a great job!" After reading the letter, Guo Jia's little tongue was hanging out. He was shocked, but after the surprise, the 'ghost''s eyes showed more excitement, secretly Digging graves is so exciting!
After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Guo Jia stepped forward and burned the secret letter to ashes with a light. Then he waved his hand and asked everyone in the lobby to retreat. Only he and Cao Cao were left, and then he looked amused. He said, "If what I expected is true, did the bad boy Xiao Lang's words make the lord tempted?"
"Haha! You two bad boys are really my confidants!" Cao Cao laughed and nodded. There was no need to hide anything in front of his confidants. He was indeed tempted. Such a huge wealth was enough to make his Yanzhou It is no longer an empty talk for the group to overcome the difficulties and then make a qualitative leap to become the world leader!
"My lord is wise! Money hidden underground can only decay with the vegetation. In this case, why don't we use it!" Guo Jia is not a pedantic person, otherwise he would not have become good friends with Xiao Yi, "Furthermore, , We use these money to save the common people of the Han Dynasty, and support the country and the country of the Han Dynasty. Even if Liang Wang Liu Wu knows it underground, he probably will not object!"
Guo Jia is indeed a ¡®ghost¡¯. Not only can he explain a disgraceful thing in a very righteous way, but he can also persuade a dead man to donate all his money. It¡¯s so good! It¡¯s not ordinary!
"Well said, take it from the ground and use it for the country, I have a clear conscience!" With the full support of Guo Jia and Xiao Yi, both civil and military, Cao Cao finally made his final determination - dig!
This is also the reason why Cao Cao left Guo Jia alone by his side. If he was a moral gentleman like Xun Yu, he would probably be kneeling on the ground crying and wiping his tears to persuade him to stop
¡°It¡¯s all about digging, but this matter must be done secretly. It¡¯s best to get benefits without being stigmatized. After all, no one wants to swim in spittle for the rest of their lives!¡±
"Don't worry, my lord, I have a plan that may be able to hide it from the sky!"
"Say it quickly!"
"Didn't Xiao Lang just annihilate a group of bandits in the mountains? We can let these bandits take the gold and then 'annihilate' them. In this way, these properties will be trophies instead of stolen goods. This It¡¯s just like a fish¡¯s eye, it¡¯s hard to tell the truth from the fake!¡± Guo Jia had a ghostly smile on his face, as long as the money was taken out, he couldn¡¯t bury it back again!
"It's a good idea, but I still have a worry in my heart. Once the opportunity to get gold from the mausoleum is opened, I'm afraid that the generals, big and small, will rush to follow suit. Then it will be difficult to control!"
Cao Cao had witnessed Dong Zhuo's excavation of the imperial mausoleum. As soon as he opened his mouth, Xiliang soldiers followed suit. As a result, all the tombs around Luoyang were excavated, and the bones were abandoned in the wilderness and allowed to be eaten by wild dogs. It was so horrific that the public resented boiling over. Dong Zhuo The reason for the failure has nothing to do with this matter!
"This is simple. My lord can form an army and be responsible for collecting gold and wealth to prevent soldiers from digging randomly. In addition, we must set rules to only take the gold, silver and jewelry buried with them, leave the coffins untouched, not disturb the souls of the dead, and not expose the bones. , so that both humans and ghosts can be safe!" Although it may not be as perfect as Guo Jia said, this is already the best way.
"That's what I want. Who doesn't want to sleep more peacefully after death!" Cao Cao nodded. With such an army, he won't have to worry about the cost of the army in the future. He has been led by emperors and generals for thousands of years. There are countless belongings that went underground!
"But, what name should I give it?"
"Specially responsible for touching gold and making money, by the way, he is called 'Gold Touching Captain!'" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
