Three Kingdoms: Economic mastermind, Cao Cao wins!

"Report, lord, five hundred meters ahead, you can see Pingqiu County after passing the woods."

Although Cao Cao made a temporary trip this time, he also brought a cavalry force of hundreds of people, and there were already horse scouts who reported the situation in front to Cao Cao

"Okay, Wenruo, let's go".

"Whoa".

Hearing that it was about to arrive, Cao Cao also looked excited, and after the team gradually left the woods, Cao Cao and Xun Wenruo, who were at the front, immediately stopped the horses, and the whole person stood in place in a daze, and even had a shocked look on his expression

At this time, in front of the two of them, there is a straight official road, the official road is made of a large number of gravel and mud and sand, looking at it gives people an inexplicable sense of luxury, this kind of road is rare even in Luoyang at the beginning,

And more importantly, on both sides of the road, the patches of wheat fields, there are at least thousands of acres as far as the eye can see, and it is close to the harvest season, when the rice ears are in yellow and green, it makes people feel a feeling of relaxation and happiness

"Wen Ruo, how many are there?"

"My lord, just a cursory look, at least thousands of acres, at least a few thousand stones, at least can receive a few thousand stones of grain and grass, and maybe there is more than that."

"No, the important thing is not how much can be harvested, but that these lands are obviously owned by the big families, how did Li Mo persuade these people to be willing to take the initiative to give up the land for farming, this is what I am more curious about."

"Lord, this Pingqiu City is already close at hand, let's go directly, and everything will naturally be clear when the time comes."

"Okay, good, good, let's ......

".

Listening to Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao also put away his shock, and at the same time continued to rush towards Pingqiu County, and the closer he got to Pingqiu County, the more and more people came and went, but most of them were on foot, or they were carts, and there were not many people on horseback

And as Cao Cao and his people gradually approached Pingqiu County, just a hundred meters away, hundreds of soldiers with bows and crossbows immediately appeared above the city wall and pointed in the direction of Cao Cao

"Protect the lord".

This Xiahoudun's reaction was still very fast, and he immediately stepped forward to block Cao Cao's body, and the rest of the cavalry also stopped in front of Cao Cao

"You are bold, this is my father-in-law, Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao Cao Mengde, you dare to call for the next offense?"

At this time, Xiahoudun also said angrily, the entire Yanzhou is Cao Cao's, and he was pointed at with a bow and crossbow in his own territory, how could he, a personal general, not be angry, and the defenders on the city wall did not put down the weapons in their hands for the first time after hearing the name reported here, but they were still on guard, and at the gate of the city, a team of cavalry wearing black armor ran in the direction of Cao Cao

Although Xiahoudun looked nervous and cautious, ready to fight back at any time, Cao Cao and Xun Yu on the side couldn't help but show appreciation in their eyes when they saw this scene

"Wen Ruo, do you see, the defenders on this city wall, all the military discipline is strict, and they are full of spirit, and the number of people who rushed out is small, but it is all heroic and extraordinary, especially the man in the lead, looking at this strength is not weak, it should be a strong general, I didn't expect that this small Pingqiu County is actually this kind of Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon."

"Well, lord, it seems that what you said is true, there is such a sentence on the ground of Chenliu County, I thought it was a joke before, but now it seems that there is probably some basis."

"Oh?".

"I'd rather be a small official in Pingqiu, not a big member of other states, this is what I mean that in this Pingqiu county, the officials are clear and clear, the people live and work in peace and contentment, have money to spend, have food to eat, and even the children of the big families can even entertain with the people, and a county town can actually afford to raise 2,000 soldiers, which shows that Li Mo's wealth is thick."

"What, two thousand soldiers, he dared to do this thing that violated the laws of the Han Dynasty, and why didn't anyone report it to me, did Zhang Miao really care about it before?"

"No, the lord misunderstood, it's not that Zhang Taishou didn't care about it before, but that what Li Mo did was in accordance with the rules and regulations, and he didn't violate the regulations, and the two thousand soldiers he had were actually mainly composed of militia."

"Militia?".

Cao Cao, who heard this, was also puzzled, how could there be another militiaman

"The news I heard is that these soldiers, who are ordinary people, are farmers, and are also the owners of the farmland we see, and they will participate in military training when there is no agricultural work, so that even if there is an invasion by foreign enemies, they can take up weapons and equipment to resist at the first time."

"Tuntian, this is a bright spot, take precautions, in case of emergency, this Li Mo really has great talent."

Cao Cao didn't expect that this Li Mo would actually use this method, this was originally an idea that Cao Cao had in his heart before, but now it has been realized by Li, and in fact, these people are indeed still farmers, not soldiers

At this time, a group of cavalry from the Pingqiu City Gate had already come to the position in front of Cao Cao, but they were blocked outside by Xiahoudun and his soldiers

"Pingqiu County Wei Dianwei, visit the state pastor, I don't know what the state pastor is doing here?"

"Bold, where is my lord going, what is going to do, I still need to report to you a county lieutenant, what about your county commander Li Mo, don't ...... quickly

."

"Yuan Rang, don't be rude".

"Ah...... "Whoa".

Before Xiahoudun's words were finished, Cao Cao behind him directly scolded Xiahoudun, which also made Xiahoudun a little unhappy, but he could only nod honestly and said that he had stepped aside

"Lord Governor, Lord Prefectural Commander is working in the government office, today is the monthly office day of Pingqiu County, and Lord Prefectural Commander does not know that Lord Governor is coming."

"What is it?".

Cao Cao heard a new name again, and he was also curious for a while, so he hurriedly asked out loud

"Lord Huizhou, this is a separate decree set by the county magistrate, and he will handle all the affairs related to the people that have been squeezed in the past month alone, and use this method to improve work efficiency."
