Chapter 250 System
Zhou Yu then continued: "In fact, it's far more than that. Apart from the weakness of the defense line, there are still many hidden dangers in Hebei, and there are also those rebellious forces!"
"For this reason, Cao Cao had to allocate a large number of troops to contain Gongsun Du in Liaodong, and also need to draw some troops to guard against Wuhuan Xianbei, Weidi Huns and so on."
"Although Cao Wei looks very fierce now, if you look closely, this Cao Wei can be said to have internal and external troubles. Facing such a situation, Cao Wei is just a paper tiger!"
This is indeed the case, then Cao Wei really can't spend too much troops going south.
The expansion of the Cao family's influence in this year is a bit too rapid. In this short year, the scope of the Cao family is not a star and a half!
Such a fast speed is also due to Cao Ang's recipe. Without Cao Ang, Cao Cao would not be in a good mood at this time.
Although the Cao family's military strength is also growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, the upper limit will definitely be several times higher than Yuan Shao's.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, the Cao family's military strength will not be stronger than Yuan Shao in his heyday in the last one or two years.
Even Yuan Shao in his heyday could not cope with the encirclement and suppression of so many enemies.
Therefore, the current Cao family is basically limited to danger.
That's why, Yuan Shao's foreign strategy is to win over the Xiongnu, ally Wuhuan, ease the pressure from the nomads, try his best to make friends with the heroes in Guanzhong, and continue to make diplomacy with Zhang Lu and Liu Biao.
Although Yuan Shao thought of such a thing, he did it almost perfectly.
But he still lost to Cao Cao.
And now Cao Cao has occupied the territory of Aishao.
He represents the imperial court, and it is impossible to slow down the outside world too much, so there are great hidden dangers inside and outside, and it also contributed to the alliance of Jiangdong, Jingzhou, and Yizhou in the south.
So Zhou Yu is right, Cao Wei seems to have become a behemoth.
In fact, the current line of defense is too long, there are still many flaws, and there are simply not enough troops.
Sun Ce asked: "Although this is the case, as far as I know, the Cao Wei camp is full of talented people, such as rain of counselors, famous generals, and even Cao Ang. We must find ways to strengthen our own strength. Gong Jin, do you have a good plan?"
Zhou Yu said: "For the current plan, we can only start from two aspects. We must try our best to promote the military integration of Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Soochow. Only by uniting the front and cooperating with each other can we exert the strongest strength."
"Secondly, we need to strive for more talents. The reason why Cao Wei is strong is because of the abundance of talents. As the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is hard to find a general. But among our five counties in Jiangdong, as well as Yizhou and Jingzhou, the same is true. Lots of talent."
To put it bluntly, it is to integrate resources and promote elites. Only by optimizing the team to the maximum can it be possible to compete with the powerful Cao Wei.
This is not an easy task. After all, there are conflicts among the three families, and there is mutual suspicion. The diplomatic mediation can only be handed over to Lu Su.
There are many talents in Jingzhou, and many heroes in Jiangdong. Even the remote Yizhou has many warriors. Sun Ce knew that his younger brother Sun Quan had talents, so he entrusted him with the task of finding talents.
When determining these thinking strategies.
Sun Ce and his team rushed to the meeting place to meet Liu Biao and Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang is a puffy middle-aged man with a weak aura and submissiveness. At first glance, he is a guy with no opinions.
Liu Biao is an old man with cancer, his eyes are deep-set, gloomy, and faintly revealing the sharpness of an old owl. This person is aging day by day, and his ambitions are no longer there, but he was also a hero when he was young. Zhou, who started from scratch, swept the crowd and gained his current status.
Seeing his enemy Liu Biao, Sun Ce's mood can be imagined.
But thinking of Zhou Yu's instructions, he must behave naturally, and must not give birth to hatred, making Liu Biao feel jealous of him.
the next few days.
Sun Liu completed the alliance, and several bigwigs and their respective teams began to discuss the program of resisting Cao.
And at the same time.
Cao Ang appeased the people in Chang'an City. When the people in Guanzhong learned that the general Cao Ang had arrived, they all burst into tears and felt grateful.
Guanzhong is full of sores, a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity, and it must be revived. Cao Ang decided to start from two aspects.
The first is to start from the military.
There are still many warlords and bandits in the Guanyuan area. From Liangzhou in the west of Hexi, Qiang and Xiliang rebels cross the river to harass. If there is no peace in the Guanzhong area, how can we talk about resuming production and rebuilding?
Then Cao Ang appointed Zhao Yun as General Zuo to guard Guanzhong for the imperial court and lead the army to fight against bandits and rebels to ensure the safety of this place. At the same time, he recruited young people and trained troops.
The second is to change from that production.
Now there is a large amount of abandoned land in Guanzhong, which creates opportunities for Cao Ang to reform the land. The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the land was privatized. The land can be bought and sold freely, which can effectively increase the enthusiasm for production, but the phenomenon of mergers is bound to intensify over time.
If this continues, it will lead to the noble landlords owning countless good fields, but the peasants have no land of their own!
The land privatization in the Han Dynasty has been privatized for hundreds of years. This system has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. There are all private lands in the east, west, north and south, and eventually it becomes a social cancer.
Therefore, Cao Ang planned to take advantage of this opportunity to abolish this system that was not conducive to the development of the country. Cao Ang took all the abandoned good land back to the imperial court, and he concentrated most of the land in the hands of the imperial court. After processing and redistribution to farmers, some farmers can obtain the right to use the land they own after working hard for a certain number of years.
The policy adopted by Cao Ang was exactly the land policy of the Northern Wei Dynasty's land equalization system.
Cao Ang also referred to the Tang Dynasty's "equal land, rent and mediocrity", that is, based on the implementation of the land equalization system, he implemented the tax and service system of "if there is land, there will be rent, if there is a household, there will be adjustment, and if there is a body, there will be mediocrity".
The system does not focus on land, but on people, that is, "recognize people but not land", and it relies more on household registration and population survey management. Ding book), registration (household register) every three years.
Seat renting system can be regarded as the best tax system in Chinese history. In terms of light corvee and low tax, the Tang Dynasty should also be the best.
However, in the long-term implementation, the statistics and inventory of Tian Yu account renewal and household registration cannot keep up, the cost of system implementation is too high, and the increase of cultivated land cannot meet the needs of population growth, the contradiction between man and land has arisen, and land merger is inevitable.
After the "Anshi Rebellion", this system had to be abandoned.

Chapter 251 State Religion
Cao Ang has no worries in this regard.
The most important thing in Guanzhong area now is to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people for production.
Ying Ang plans to plant high-yield food crops and economic crops, so there is no need to worry about the excessive cost of implementation.
In addition, Cao Ang plans to set up several large farming areas.
The land in these areas is owned by the state and private sales are not allowed. Barracks will be set up and a large number of farmers will be recruited for centralized and militarized production.
The ancient production mode in the Central Plains was small-scale peasant production. This efficiency is actually not very high, but if large-scale centralized production and militarized management can be adopted, the production efficiency and management costs will be much lower.
Production resumed in support of Guanzhong.
Cao Ang leased a large amount of seeds, agricultural tools, cattle, and even various basic services to the people of Guanzhong without interest, and even allocated food to solve the problem of food for some refugees.
Other than that.
