I've been the Dunqiu County Magistrate for two years. I can't say that he has outstanding achievements, but within my jurisdiction, agriculture, agriculture, fishery, and commerce are all developed simultaneously. This made me feel quite gratified. Thinking that there was such a place in this world where the common people could live and work in peace and contentment, I felt quite good in my heart.
However, if one did not think far ahead, there would be immediate worries. When I think about how the world will be in chaos in a few years, do I have to follow in Old Cao's footsteps with my current state? I'm not willing to live under someone else's roof and be at the mercy of others.
However, this place was only a county after all. If they wanted to conquer the world, they would definitely not be able to rely on. I have to think of a way to solve these problems. I will not change history. The Yellow Turban Uprising was inevitable. If I wanted to gain political capital from the uprising, it was impossible without strength. But where did his strength come from? Right, Lao Mao once said,"Political power comes from the barrel of a gun."
Moreover, during this period, it was possible to build one's own armed forces. These armed forces were personal property, called troops. I also want to build my own troops, but troops need money. Food, equipment, rewards, which one can't be bought without money? If I don't need money to build a useless army, I might as well not build it. Thus, I began to have the idea of accumulating money and storing up food. My Cao Family Courtyard is a profitable manor. I don't earn a lot of money every day, but it's just a drop in the bucket and can't solve the problem. I also thought of asking the old man for money. I'm afraid he doesn't have as much money as I need. Besides, the old man had to enjoy himself. To put it bluntly, he was stingy. Old Cao had borrowed money from others to raise his army.
Only now did I feel that my surroundings were lacking people. If there were even one or two internal affairs experts here, I wouldn't have to use my own brain. If there was no one, then it would be useless even if I, Cao Cao, was a god. However, distant water could not quench the thirst of the present. Someone asked,"What did you do earlier?" Xun's uncle and nephew, Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Tian Feng, and so on, you can go and find them. Let me remind everyone that history has changed. The change is in the arrival of Cao Cao, but the basic pattern has not changed much. Moreover, some of them were still in liquid form, some were not even liquid, and some were still drinking milk. Who told me to be born early? I have no choice, I can only think for myself. After my repeated development, my Cao Family Courtyard still has some assets. However, it is impossible to rely on my small manor to live on nothing. I have to think of something else. I'm the mayor of a county now. This is my capital. What do you mean by you want me to be a corrupt person? I can't do that. I can still use my privileges. It's popular to collude with officials and businessmen. I think this kind of thing still existed in the past. However, no official was willing to do business. This was the work of a servant. Now, the current Spirit Emperor wanted to do some business, so he was treated as evidence of a fatuous ruler. I don't have as many reasons as you. Money is the truth now. I'm so poor that I'm begging for food. I don't care about anyone.
In order to earn money, I took three big steps. The first step was to do the traditional business of adding my thoughts. How should I put it? It means that my county is responsible for handing over money and food to the higher-ups every year. This was the opportunity that I was looking for. Under the escort of the soldiers, some of my precious goods were transported into Luoyang. I was talking about the silk, tea, and salt from the south. These things were simply profitable. The furs and ginseng from the north are all needed by the south. I will interact with the north and the south. The soldiers in the north will transport them. There is no cost and no profit. I can also reimburse the travel expenses of my goods to the south. This was a little embarrassing. However, if he left this money for those corrupt officials to use, wouldn't he be letting down the people who paid taxes? This is my way of making money.
Second, I will use the power of my Cao family and the knowledge I have gained from watching in my spare time to plant grapes on the land I belong to. This is a specialty of the Western Regions that no one knows about. I use the grapes I grow to make wine. This is a profitable business. "I asked my butler Cao An to bring people to conduct research and finally produced a grape wine in my manor. I called this grape wine" Jade Wine "and it was sold for thousands of dollars on the market. This is my money tree.
The third step was to mine gold. I'm very familiar with the gold there now. If you didn't know, you could buy a junior high geography book. It would be clear at a glance. I will use the name of expanding the Cao Family Courtyard to buy a large piece of land in the current Zhaoyuan area of Shandong. There were many gold mines in this place. I ordered people to secretly mine it and then refine it. This is my treasure bowl.
In the development of these three pillar industries, my wallet is rapidly bulging. In just a few years, I, the Dunqiu County Magistrate, will really be rich and imposing. Now that they had money, they lacked power.
In these few years, due to my ability to operate, I have been able to control my body. The money and food in this house were piled up like mountains. With money, it was easy to do things. With money, there was the capital to start a business. If a person wanted to establish achievements in a chaotic world, the most important thing was to have weapons. I'm now completely capable of building my own armed forces. Thus, I began to choose from within the Cao Clan, in the gold mine, and in the area under my jurisdiction, to establish a private army, the Cao Clan Troop.
I was about 24 or 25 years old then. Xiahou Yuan was seven years younger than Xiahou Yuan. I ordered the two of them to lead my troops and train day and night. I will also choose 100 of them to be my personal guards, the Flying Dragon Guards. I have a special request for the Flying Dragon Guards, which is to be responsible for reconnaissance, spying, surprise attacks, assassinations, and other special tasks. It was equivalent to the current special forces. Because my requirements were relatively high, this unit was covered in a mysterious veil from the beginning, and the number of people was very small. Of course, in the later stages, my intervention might very well cause history to change. Can my subordinates, my enemies, and my allies be relied on? It was up to them to scout.
I finally had my own army. When this army was established, it was just infantry and archers. However, if he wanted to make a name for himself in the future, he was far from it. In order to increase the combat strength of the troops, I first asked the troops to have a fighting spirit. They would rather die in battle than surrender. I gave the troops the principle that they could only charge forward and not retreat.
Thus, on the day of the establishment of the army, I calmly walked to the square where the army was established and gave the entire army a mental education. I first looked around at the people below the stage and said,"Warriors, from today onwards, you are my troops. I ask you to stand in the world like a real man. You must be a hero among men when you are alive, and a hero among ghosts when you die. I request that the entire army be united and follow orders. Even if there was a mountain of blades and a sea of flames in front of them, they had to charge forward bravely when they charged. Even if there were mountains of gold and silver in front of them, they would not hesitate to retreat. Only in this way can we become a team of steel, an invincible iron army. You must firmly believe that no one is our match. We must have such an imposing manner. Even if we face thousands of troops alone, we must take out the sword in your hand and charge forward. We would rather die in battle than retreat. Because you are an invincible army.”I raised my arms and shouted,"Invincible!" The whole army shouted,"Invincible, invincible, invincible!”I'm very satisfied.
However, I'm not done yet. My subordinates had already gained a strong will to fight. This was exactly what I wanted to see. However, as their commander, I couldn't just let them fight with the enemy with fire sticks.
My role is not only to mobilize their fighting spirit, but also to arm them to the teeth. In order to equip my troops with new equipment. I ordered my subordinates to make use of the opportunity of doing business in the Western Regions to start purchasing a large number of good horses. During this period, which was also the ancient times, especially in the plains, the powerful combat power of the cavalry was difficult to express in words. A powerful cavalry unit was the capital to dominate the world in ancient times. For the sake of the world, I did put in a lot of effort. I took advantage of the fact that there weren't too strict regulations on horses and bought horses wantonly. Without an army, prepare the horses first.
With the help of business, I was able to build a cavalry force of 5,000 men in my homeland. In the courtyard, I forged armor, spears, machetes, bows, and crossbows for the troops. When this team assembled on the empty ground, I felt very gratified.
Looking at this newly formed army, I said,"It really is a Tiger Leopard Army!" Thus, this troop was called the Tiger Leopard Cavalry. I'll assign the Xiahou brothers to command the army, each with two thousand five hundred men. They would also hold regular martial arts competitions to increase the combat strength of the troops. In the constant confrontation, the two of them had gained a lot of experience in commanding troops. Their experiences were reflected in the troops 'increasingly powerful combat strength. This made me very happy. But what makes me even happier is that the two young men in my Cao clan are already growing up. Although they were young, with just a glance, anyone with a discerning eye would know that they had obtained the personal teachings of an expert. I was overjoyed and ordered the two of you to assist Brother Xiahou. Xiahou Yuan was paired with Cao Ren, and Xiahou Yuan was paired with Cao Hong. Just like that, the Tiger Leopard Cavalry that terrified all the heroes in the world was born here.
Wei Shu. "Gaozu Benji":"Gaozu was intelligent and knew that the world would be in chaos, so he set up a private army to hoard money and food. Just in case."
