    625. Cao Cao¡¯s dilemma

    In Xudu, Cao Mengde was in high spirits and returned with a great victory in the battle of Guandu, which made his position as prime minister more stable and showed his status as the northern hegemon.

    A letter from Xun You brought Cao Mengde back to reality, and the sorrow hidden deep in his heart was brought to the surface by him.

    Winning the Battle of Guandu, in the final analysis, only blocked Yuan Shao's southern invasion. In addition to gaining a lot of reputation, it can be said that it did not help. Much of the accumulation was lost in this battle. If you want to start the war again, just  Seems powerless.

    In ancient wars, apart from the loss of weapons and armor, the biggest issue was the issue of food and grass;

    The importance of an army is to have two meals a day, which is enough for food and clothing. Once the war starts, not to mention three meals a day, if you eat them openly, the loss will more than double. If you want to make the sergeants work harder, you must have less meat, wine, and rewards.  It takes accumulation, which can be said to be ten times the usual effort, to be able to support the war.

    Cao Mengde in front of him understood that in the next one or two years, small-scale conflicts were feasible, but major wars were almost impossible. Rest and recuperation was the right thing to do.

    ??

    "I don't know, it's better. I know, it's strange that Cao Mengde feels relieved when he can only stare but can't do anything."

    Xun You's letter was written on a stack of paper, with tens of thousands of words written in it. That is to say, Liu Hao provided an unlimited amount of paper so that Xun You could explain everything to Cao Cao in detail.

    In the first ten pages or so, Xun You was describing the changes in Liaodong. In the first sentence, he mentioned Liu Hao¡¯s cancellation of the city gate tax;

    Not only that, a hotel was built two kilometers away from the city to facilitate the residence of merchants who could not reach the city before nightfall. Beacon towers were built and troops were garrisoned, which almost stretched the entire city's defense line, thus ensuring the safety of merchants coming and going.  Convenience and security are brought to everyone.

    Such small reforms can be seen everywhere in Liaodong. When Cao Cao read this, his thoughts began to fly. He had to admit that this was reliable and could kill two birds with one stone. The consumption of merchants in hotels and inns could also support this small-scale  Garrisoning troops can also make merchants more willing to come and go.

    This is an upgraded version of the ancient inn. Liu Hao attaches great importance to the logistics industry. Almost all such inns in Liaodong have been upgraded. Not only have they increased the scale of the inns, they have also built attached warehouses to the inns and rented them to traveling merchants;

    After trading in the trading market, merchants can withdraw goods with vouchers, which greatly eases the situation of merchants tossing goods back and forth. It not only facilitates merchants, but also increases the transaction volume and accelerates the circulation speed of goods.

    These warehouses can also store specialties from Liaodong, such as glass, paper, books, etc. Especially the storage areas planned in the port city have greatly increased the number of maritime merchants. From the beginning, there were only a few agents to build fleets, and now  Seeing the profits in many coastal areas, large and small fleets gradually joined them, selling goods from Liaodong to various parts of the Central Plains, which further strengthened Liu Hao's finances.

    Cao Cao is also a great talent. Xun You's detailed explanation made Cao Cao's heart beat. Before he finished reading the letter, he began to gather his think tanks, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and continued to read Xun You's letter.

    Xun You then talked about the situation of border trade, that is, Liu Hao opened up the cattle, horse and sheep trade with Wuheng, and a large number of cattle and sheep entered Liaodong, even the top horses were no exception;

    This information made Cao Cao frown. He was worried that Liu Hao would continue to grow in Liaodong and threaten himself in the future, but he was also a little happy. After all, there was a gap in the dragon horse transaction blocked by Yuan Shao, and Liu Hao, who had no conflict of interest with him,  Being able to open a gap, not to mention a specific dragon horse, must not be difficult, and the large-scale purchase made him more confident in the next war against Yuan Shao.

    After struggling for a while, Cao Cao made up his mind. Regardless of anything else, the Yuan Benchu ??in front of him is the biggest enemy. If he does not surpass Yuan Benchu, the future will be the future after all. The levels must be passed one by one. What will happen in the future will be discussed in the future.

    With the decision made, Cao Cao wanted to continue reading. Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others announced their entry. Cao Cao stopped his eyes, waved his hand, and passed the part he had read to Xun Yu, allowing them to discuss it first.

    "This great talent can kill three birds with one stone. Upgrading a mere post station can provide convenience to merchants and bring early warning to the city. More importantly, it can speed up the circulation of goods, save costs for the people, and provide us with  Bring profits and feed more sergeants!¡±

    In a few words, Xun Yu sent LiuIn the hands of military commanders, the addition of the Confucian and Taoist cultivation system will greatly enhance the military power of civil servants, which will inevitably impact the rights of military commanders and promote an imbalance between the two sides.

    Once the civil servants¡¯ military power increases, will they continue to be content with the status quo?

    As a prince, what Cao Cao considers more is his right to rule, or in other words, the right to rule his descendants.

    In the hands of Cao Mengde, he fully believed that he could suppress the civil servants. Even if the military strength of these civil servants increased greatly, he, Cao Mengde, would not be afraid;

    But once the throne is passed to his descendants, a struggle for power between the monarch and his ministers will inevitably occur. As a successor, his prestige is not high, and his power will be limited. Can he still sit on the throne safely?  ?  Will there be powerful officials like Cao Cao?  Holding the emperor hostage to order the princes?

    Cao Cao was very conflicted, but he also knew in his heart that even if he wanted to ban the Confucianism and Taoism practice system, there was nothing he could do. If he really banned it, it would probably have the opposite effect;

    ??Here, the military force of civil servants is improving, but is it not the same for generals?  The military training system alone is enough to change the entire battlefield. Once one's own side fails to practice, if other princes learn it, it is very likely that they will be buried by other princes in the future, not to mention the future.

    Cao Cao had a headache, and his thoughts about Liu Hao became more complicated. He had read two volumes of "Spring and Autumn" written by Liu Hao, one was cold, one was hot, one was serious and one was ridiculing;

    The former is quite good, on par with history books, and Cao Cao has read a lot. The latter makes fun of history, but it is an experience that Cao Cao has never had. When reading, he will always subconsciously put his personal emotions into it, and regard himself as a person.  As a member of the Spring and Autumn Period, I can't stop wanting to play in person.

    After reading it, Cao Cao admired Liu Hao very much and regarded him as a great Confucian. But in a blink of an eye, this Confucian and Taoist practice system told Cao Cao that he was not just a great Confucian. The mere creation of the 'Confucian and Taoist practice system' was enough to make Liu Hao be praised by hundreds of people.  It is only a matter of time to become a 'saint' by worshiping one's family.

    Being an enemy of such a 'sage', no matter whether he wins or loses, Cao Cao will be under a lot of pressure. If he wins, not only will he not gain fame, but it will also make Cao Cao achieve eternal infamy. Hundreds of families in the future will not give the Cao family a good look. Once  After his death, his descendants are likely to be overthrown by hundreds of families.

    If he loses, he, Cao Mengde, will be taken for granted and be laughed at as he deserves it.

    "It's difficult!"

    This is how Cao Cao feels now. He can't wait to meet Liu Hao. He needs to talk to Liu Hao in person, make a detailed assessment of Liu Hao, and prepare for the next plan.

    When the Confucian and Taoist practice system was circulated, everyone in Cao Cao¡¯s think tank was inexplicably excited, even Guo Jia was the same.

    Cao Cao glanced around and sighed in his heart. He was even more determined to meet Liu Hao, and the sooner the better.

    Liu Hao underestimated the power of the 'Confucian and Taoist practice system' in the Three Kingdoms world. He knew that the influence would be great, but he did not expect it to be so great. He had just released it and already established it among the literati in the Three Kingdoms world.  The prototype of a saint, and he is also a 'sage' who has read hundreds of schools of thought. According to the views of local people in the Three Kingdoms, if he cannot read hundreds of schools of thought, how can he create such a practice system?

    In Xudu, the Prime Minister's Mansion, the meeting that was still discussing issues turned into a venue for experiencing the 'Confucianism and Taoism practice system'. The people sitting there were all talented people. It didn't take long for them to enter the stage of being a child one by one.  Soon he entered childhood again, built a statue of himself in his own sea of ??consciousness, developed a literary spirit, and truly entered the practice of 'Confucianism and Taoism'.

    Fortunately, everyone knew that enough was enough, and these people did not continue to practice. They suppressed the excitement and impulse in their hearts and looked at Cao Cao with a red face.

    Cao Mengde sighed in his heart and waved his hand, leaving only Xun Yu, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, while the others couldn't wait to go home and continue practicing.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
