Following the experience of the Huainan area, Cao Ang established a large number of factories in Guanzhong.
During the establishment of these factories, a large number of labors are required to work, and after the factories are completed, a large number of labors are required to work, which can solve the livelihood of many people.
All in all, from land, from production, from industry, from the environment and so on.
In just a few days, Cao Ang worked intensively to formulate a series of plans to revitalize Guanzhong, providing a large number of interest-free leases, tax exemptions and tax reductions, free teaching aid, medical assistance and other welfare policies.
The effect is obvious. Countless refugees were able to settle down again, and thousands of people who hid in the mountains to escape famine and refuge came back.
This data is still increasing. Cao Ang has formulated a set of opportunities for the Guanzhong region for 2-3 years, as long as it can be implemented according to the plan.
In two or three years, not to mention returning to its heyday, at least the former Land of Abundance can reappear.
Send Guan Yu to stay in Hanzhong, Zhao Yun town Guanzhong, and made a production plan.
In order to prevent Sun Ce and Liu Biao from suddenly attacking Xu Du, Cao Ang did not stay here too long.
Instead, he chose to take tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command at the first time, and after leaving Guanzhong from Yanguan, he passed through Luoyang and arrived in Xudu smoothly.
The news that Cao Ang has opened up the two key strategic locations of Guanzhong and Hanzhong in one go has already spread in Xudu, and the newspapers have reported it several times in a row.
The people of the Central Plains were all excited by this. After the two key areas of Hanzhong and Guanzhong were taken down, the entire northern part of the Central Plains was under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court.
Seventy-seven to eighty-eight of the thirteen states in the world are Cao Wei, and most of the population of the Central Plains is in the north. Whether it is the size of the territory, the strategic depth, the number of people, or even the number of troops, Cao Wei is rapidly rising and has an absolute advantage.
Cao Ang is very confident that even if he doesn't do anything in the future, as long as he firmly holds on to the territory and population he already owns, and spends at most three years to integrate porcelain sources and digest resources, he will be able to reach the eve of the Battle of Chibi in history. , the level of strength of Cao Wei in its heyday.
Another time and space.
The reason why the Battle of Chibi was defeated was actually caused by many factors.
In addition to Cao Cao's carelessness, the fact that the Central Plains army is not good at water stations, and the combination of Sun and Liu Qiangqiang, and Zhou Yu's very ingenious tactics, the weather is also an important factor.
For example, when the Battle of Chibi started, Cao Ying was plagued by disease, and tens of thousands of soldiers fell ill, causing the morale of Cao's army to be low. That's why they were defeated in the first battle and were so vulnerable.
However, at this moment, Cao Ang spent more than a year to create the most advanced and advanced medical and health team for Cao Wei in this era, which not only greatly reduces the casualty rate of soldiers on the battlefield, but also effectively prevents and treats the epidemic. Overwhelmed by this surprise.
In addition, Cao Ang is also very clear-headed, not overheated because of the rapid growth of power.
Now is not the best time to send troops south. In the next period of time, Cao Wei should shrink and expand, and gradually turn to defense and consolidation.
Internally train the new army, promote production, boost people's livelihood, restore Guanzhong, eliminate rebel forces, etc., develop ordnance, upgrade equipment, and build a large number of ships to accumulate strength.
Externally, Cao Wei must completely suppress the Huns, eliminate the Wuhuan people, as well as the Liaodong princes, Xiliang warlords, Qiang and barbarians, etc., so as to prevent these foreign aggressors from being stabbed in the back suddenly at a critical moment.
These tasks cannot be completed overnight, but Cao Cao and Cao Ang have developed a tacit understanding. One is in charge of the outside and the other is in charge of the inside. The two fathers and sons act separately and work together. I believe it will not be difficult to do.
"General! There are more than two hundred members of Ma Teng's family! All of them have been imprisoned now, waiting to be released."
After Zhuge Liang returned to Cao Ang, he immediately reported the matter to him.
When Cao Ang sent troops to Hanzhong this time, he only brought Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Pang Tong with him, but left Zhuge Liang and others to guard the rear. After Zhuge Liang learned that Ma Chao and Han Sui had rebelled, he immediately arrested all Ma Teng's clan.
This Ma Teng is also unlucky. It has not been two months since he lived a comfortable and peaceful life, and he did not expect his son to deceive him behind his back.
Ma Chao's rebellion is a felony. According to the court law, the Ma family will be executed. However, Zhuge Liang did not do this. He just sent them all to prison first, and then waited for Cao Ang to come back to make preparations.
Cao Ang asked: "How does Kong Ming think these people should be dealt with?"
Zhuge Liang replied: "Ma Chao's rebellion is a fact. Ma Teng's family must be punished. But Ma Teng made great achievements not long ago, and he even published a newspaper to promote it. At this moment, Duke Wei has just ascended the throne. Although Ma Chao rebelled, he did not cause too much loss. Do the act of copying and beheading the whole family."
"You're right, Ma Teng and Zhang Lu, they all turned away from the dark and turned to the bright. They should be publicized positively, and they should not be directly implicated because of the actions of Ma Chao and Zhang Wei, so as to avoid gossip."
Cao Ang thought for a while and then said: "Then let Ma Teng's post of Wei Wei be dismissed, and the food town will be cut in half, allowing his family to serve the court and perform crimes and meritorious deeds."
"Yes!"
Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. Cao Ang's nature is relatively generous, but if it were replaced by Cao Cao, the fate of the Ma Teng family would be hard to say.
Cao Ang confessed to Zhuge Liang: "Zhang Luneng gave up the army and resistance, allowing our army to win Hanzhong County without bloodshed. His meritorious service is not small. I am going to make him a national teacher and allow him to preach in the Central Plains. You will be in charge of coordinating the specific matters. "
National teacher preaching?
Zhuge Liang was a little confused!
Cao Ang then explained: "This matter is settled like this, I have my intentions!"
Zhuge Liang himself is very smart, and he is actually more interested in the study of Huang Lao.
And Taoism is derived from the philosophy of Huang Laozhi. Since the great chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, there have been many gods who beat the people in the name of "Tao" to confuse the people and create chaos.
One of the most representative is Zhang Jiao.
The reason why Zhang Jiao was able to set off the Yellow Turban Rebellion was because his "Taiping Dao" had countless believers and if there was the first Zhang Jiao, there would be a second Zhang Jiao.
Instead of allowing these uncontrolled folk beliefs to be used by people with ulterior motives, it is better to actively formulate and support them from the court and the state, so as to establish a legal official state religion.
...
Chapter 252 The battleship is ready
Zhang Lu's Way of Heavenly Master (Five Dou Rice Religion).
Compared with Zhang Jiao's Taiping Road, it is more orthodox.
Cao Ang personally intervened to formulate the teachings and make magical changes to make them extremely spreadable and avoid interfering in politics. On the contrary, they can become a special weapon of the court and help to appease the people in troubled times.
Cao Ang asked, "During the time I've been away, has there been any major changes?"
Zhuge Liang had already prepared for the work report.
There are too many big changes.
In terms of culture and commerce, printing and publishing in Xudu has become more and more mature. Paper books have completely replaced bamboo slips and the creation style has become very diverse. Especially the creations led by Daqiao Yangxiu are now very popular.
The Xudu Opera House has been fully completed, and singing and dancing, music, opera, drama, and acrobatic performances have begun to fully integrate into people's lives, greatly increasing the proportion of art in people's lives.
In addition, the first batch of patented products have been launched, which has greatly improved people's lives, greatly increased productivity, and created astonishing tax revenue for the court.
The school has also officially started classes. In just a few months, the number of students in Xudu College has exceeded [-], and breakthroughs have been made in other scientific research, technology, production, and manufacturing fields.
"The first batch of steam warships were successfully manufactured. We have undergone secret tests. Although there are some defects, the performance is very good, and the expected results are basically achieved!"
When Zhu Gaoliang said this, even he was full of excitement.
"There is no better warship than this in the whole world! As long as the defects are improved and production is expanded, the Jingwu navy is nothing to worry about!"
Cao Ang is very concerned about the new ship. After more than eight months of construction and preparation, Huainan Shipyard has now formed a relatively complete and efficient production line. There are more than [-] laborers and workers working in the shipyard.
