Mystery Makes Me Strong

Yizhou.

Cao Cao's palace.

"The Taihang Mountain people have finally dispatched, and when they are dispatched, they will be like thunder."

Cao Cao looked at a very realistic map and sighed.

The opponent has cavalry, food, and talents, and the general trend has been achieved.

Although he has also developed for several years, how can Yizhou be compared with the land of Hebei?

Incomparable.

Hebei has a large population, many talents, and horses.

A few years have passed, and he has just consolidated the entire state and county, and he has not yet been able to expand externally.

And now the Taihang Mountain people have already started to move.

However, Cui Cheng persuaded him: "My lord, don't worry, the Taihang Mountain people's many measures will definitely attract strong and powerful targets. As long as they instigate with heart, it will definitely make his rear unstable."

"Then you go and instigate it." Cao Cao sighed, "Since there is a lot of fun, why come out of the mountain?"

Cui Cheng looked helpless.

Then he asked people to instigate.

But it can't be provoked at all.

Here's what a local tycoon said:

"Taihang Mountain people don't rob us of our land or food, and let our children go to school. Why should we take the risk of being beheaded and turn against him?"

"But he is rebelling, rebelling against a big man."

"The great Han should have died a long time ago. It has long been predicted that the successor of the Han will be Tu Gaoye."

Yuan Shu's rebellion, why everyone turned against him, was mainly because he failed to manage the local area well, appointed thieves, and offended the powerful and everyone around him.

Otherwise, it might not be without foundation for him to claim the title of emperor.

"You, you..."

Cui Cheng failed.

Can't stir it up.

The main thing is that Wen Rensheng took the economic route, drawing the blood of the powerful through the logic of the bottom of the economy.

This is not something the tyrants can fight against.

In short, Wen Rensheng quickly gained a foothold.

Not only that.

And continue to attack south.

Only two years of hard work.

Yan, Xu, Yang, and Jing are all occupied.

Continue to implement new economic strategies.

And then just don't get in.

As long as the Kanto land.

"Master, why don't you go straight to Guanzhong, take Luoyang Chang'an, and change the dynasty in one fell swoop." Xun You was a little puzzled.

He can't wait to be king again.

You must know that he has accomplished the feat of organizing people to go to sea.

No longer afraid of too many people and not enough land.

"Without comparison, people will not know that the new dynasty is good."

"People's happiness comes from comparison."

"We have to build our own land well, and then attract people from the west. Through the comparison, they will gradually strengthen their new beliefs and understand the importance of the new system."

Wen Rensheng said with confidence.

Everyone praised.

"Master said so."

"Yeah, people are like this, no matter how nice you are to them, they will not be satisfied, but if they see others are bad, they will be satisfied."

indeed so.

…………

A town somewhere in Kansai.

Opposite is the land of Kanto.

Although Kansai and Kanto have barriers.

But it is on the avenue where horse-drawn carts and ox-carts can pass, and there are still many small roads connecting each other.

"My son's father, let's go to the east to work, where you will get 5 catties of rice for a day's work."

"Yeah, it's no better than farming. The owner here has worked hard for a year, and they still have to collect 50% of the rent."

"Go, go, go together."

This kind of situation occurs everywhere in the town.

Going to Kanto to work has become the most popular word nowadays.

No one wants to stay in the local area and rent land to grow.

It is tiring and hard work, and you have to pay head tax and various taxes, and what is even more miserable is the free collection of various manpower.

This last project is the bulk of the people fleeing.

Once encountered, it is a sign of family ruin.

In a tavern, several big families were also sighing.

"Patriarch Wang, how many people are there in your field?"

"More than half of the tenant farmers have run away. Why do these damn Guandong Han pay those people such high wages? Five catties of rice a day, this year is 2,000 catties, which is more profitable than farming."

"Yes, and 5 catties of rice can be exchanged for 15 catties of coarse grains, which can feed a family of five."

"That's right, and an 8-year-old child can work with him, and there are two catties of rice."

"Damn it, the Kanto people are so rich, where does their rice come from?"

"I heard that it is some kind of collective planting. The cattle, water and fertilizers are used uniformly. In short, thousands of acres of land are cultivated together. The efficiency is high and the output is average, but only one-third of the original manpower is needed."

"Why do the extra people go?"

"Brew wine, weave cloth, make paper, make porcelain, and then go to sea and farm overseas..."

"This is impossible. There is no land overseas. It is very dangerous."

After much deliberation, several big families couldn't figure out why the people in Kanto had money and food.

In fact, the food in the entire Kanto is enough to eat, but it has not been put into the exchange market.

Wen Rensheng broke their manor economy through wine, cloth, paper, and porcelain, and then exchanged for the food they produced.

At the same time, they use more efficient official land planting and farm-based grain planting to beat the cost of manor planting grain, forcing them to sell at a low price.

Otherwise, just wait for it to rot and no one will buy it.

And overseas also got land to grow rice.

In this way, the two-pronged approach can greatly enrich the materials.

State-run farms produce commercial grain, ensuring that the maximum price of grain will not exceed people's consumption levels, and management issues must also be considered. In short, it depends on the assessment of various management personnel to improve efficiency.

These complicated economic details, how can these old bosses in the feudal era understand?

What they can understand is everything they see with the naked eye.

The people fled.

No sharecroppers.

Had to lower the rent.

Some people also said: "We want the government to issue a decree that fleeing is a crime, and they must be arrested."

Yes, this is also the thinking and practice of most tyrants.

They organized servants themselves to prevent the tenant farmers from fleeing.

But you can stop it for a while, but you can't stop it for a lifetime.

The more you stop, the more everyone wants to escape.

Many people went on the road overnight.

Run away overnight.

And there were also people in Kanto who helped them escape.

In this way, a large number of people in Guanzhong and Kansai were lost.

It solves the robbery problem.

The land was vacated.

As a last resort, many tyrants had to lower land rents.

At the same time increase the employment price.

This is the regulation of the market.

But the premise of market regulation is that the labor force can flow freely, and there is a law to guarantee the personal safety of the labor force.

However, those powerful tyrants can forcibly prevent the people from fleeing.

In fact, it turned the people into serfs.

This is a problem that the market cannot solve.

It cannot resist violence.

The common people can only rely on their feet to fight against it.

Wen Rensheng naturally wants to break this form.

"People have the right to live the life they want."

"If the people have feet, they have the power to go where they want to go."

Then he sent a team to attack the powerful people in Kansai.
