Yanzhou, Chenliu.
Chen Liuzhi area, the inner city soldiers and horses are numerous, scholar-bureaucrats live in large numbers, most of the officials live here.
Tonight, a banquet was held in the government office.
They drank to their heart's content, but Xun Yu was missing.
They drank until the latter half of the night before they gradually dispersed. Cao Cao left Xu Zhen and Zhao Yun behind.
Cao Cao sat in the middle of the hall, and Old Master Cao thanked Xu Zhen. After drinking a few mouthfuls of wine, he went back to sleep.
The old man was frightened and needed time to recover. Fortunately, although the old man was old, he was still very healthy.
He could even take care of his concubine…
"Come, now that there are only the four of us left, Bo Wen, let's have another toast!”
Cao Cao raised his cup, his face full of respect. On the first seat on Cao Cao's left was a scholar who looked casual.
At first, Xu Zhen thought it was Guo Fengxiao.
But it wasn't. This was acting loyalty.
He was also an important strategist for Cao Cao, and he had laid down many of Cao Cao's military strategies in the early stages.
He was an indispensable figure.
There was even a saying,"If one's ambition does not die, one will not be filial."
"Bowen, since you have the talent to be brave, why do you want to be a strategist? Since he wanted to be a strategist, could he solve the big problem at hand?”Xi Zhicai asked sincerely.
He seemed casual, but when he spoke to others, he still placed great importance on benefits. When he raised his hand, he would use the other hand to grab the hem of his falling clothes, and the crown on his head would be placed on the table.
The posture of kneeling was more casual, giving people the feeling that he was shrinking. His eyes were lazy, but there was a sharp sharpness in his eyes.
He was both testing and asking questions.
As the minister who planned the strategy, Xi Zhicai was now no different from Cao Cao's number one strategist.
The position of advisor had always been a general title.
Internal politics and benefiting the people were also strategies.
The military strategy was also a strategy.
Grain and fodder first, no matter how big or small, was also a strategy.
Therefore, the list did not specifically refer to military strategists.
Xi Zhicai was ranked thirteenth.
In front of them were Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xun You, Zhang Zhao, Xu Shou…and other officials.
As for those who had not become officials, they were not on the list for the time being.
After the rankings were displayed, they existed in the Heavenly Dao and could be observed at any time.
13th place was already very impressive.
Of course, Cao Cao treated him as a distinguished guest.
But now, Cao Cao felt that this question was a little abrupt.
" Zhicai, we still have no clue and are worrying about this. Bowen just arrived, don't let him participate in this matter…"
Cao Cao said with a bitter smile. He raised his wine bowl and Xi Zhicai was stunned for a moment.
Then, he immediately raised it back and downed it. He folded his hands in front of his forehead and prostrated himself." My Lord, I have offended you."”
He had almost forgotten that this was not an ordinary adviser, but the savior of the Cao family…He could even be treated as a member of the Cao family.
Aiyo, I overstepped my boundaries…
" No worries, no worries." Cao Cao waved his hand." Hehe, you'd better be more at ease. We're all on the same side, so I'll make it clear."”
Cao Cao glanced at Xu Zhen, Xi Zhicai, and Zhao Yun before continuing,""Bowen is ranked last on the Advisor Board.”
"If he is given a heavy responsibility in the army, it will definitely raise doubts.”
Xu Zhen hurriedly nodded." That makes sense."
Xi Zhicai, on the other hand, was noncommittal and prepared to listen to the rest. He knew that since his lord was so sure, he must have made arrangements.
" As the Lord of Duty, you can go ahead and discuss the matter…" Cao Cao waved his hand happily." As for this matter…Forget it, forget it."”
Cao Cao really felt that he could not trouble Xu Zhen. After all, he had just saved Cao Shi's life.
Forget about such a troublesome matter.
Xu Zhen was unhappy.
This was f * cking scolding, right? How could he just let it go?
"May I ask what it is?"
Xi Zhicai glanced at him. Although he was still unconcerned, he heard Cao Cao say,"Bo Wen……En, if you want to know, I can tell you.”
"Didn't we take in 300,000 people before this? This has already become 300,000 mouths to eat. Now that we don't have enough money and food in the territory, I don't know how to settle them.”
Cao Mengde smiled bitterly. Most of the 300,000 soldiers were fighting alone while their families were eating in the barracks.
Even if they were recruited as soldiers of Qingzhou, there were still many idle mouths. It was not so easy to get them to farm.
For a moment, he didn't know how to settle down.
Even if they wanted to farm, they had to have a suitable system to motivate the families of the Qingzhou soldiers to become rich on their own. They had discussed this for a long time, but it did not come to fruition.
When Xu Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but think about it. At this time, the date hadn't come to offer advice yet?
Wouldn't that just be a credit?
Xu Zhen immediately smiled. As he smiled, he picked up the wine bowl and drank a few mouthfuls of his home-brewed wine before saying,"I thought something was wrong."
"I do have some understanding of this matter.”
Xi Zhicai was suddenly stunned. He immediately sat up straight and stared at Xu Zhen with a sharp gaze.
"Sir, I would like to hear the details."
I've been thinking for three days and nights, but I still can't find a solution. What can you say now?
How could the last place on the Advisor Board far surpass me? If that was really the case, he would probably have to reconsider the conditions for entering the rankings.
"It's nothing more than a change in farming methods. The families of the soldiers of Qingzhou, which are the surrendered soldiers from Qingxu back then, have a total of more than 300,000 people, but all of them are farmers. They may be afraid of death and cunning in war, but they are experts in serving crops.”
When Cao Cao heard this, he frowned. Xi Zhicai also felt that it made sense.
Yes, these people were farmers.
However, Xi Zhicai quickly dismissed the idea." Sir, you don't know that the farm tools in our city are not enough at all. If we want to find someone to invest in building them, I don't know how much it will cost. Moreover, the common people don't dare to take the cattle used to cultivate the land.”
"Sigh, how could you forget that every household has farming tools? Why do they have to forge and distribute them?”
Xu Zhen cupped his hands at Cao Cao and said,""As for the strategy of the army, it is to change from counting cattle into grains to dividing the fields. This way, these surrendered soldiers will definitely fight to plow the fields.”
"Oh?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he was pleasantly surprised!
Interesting, interesting, this last place!!!!
I seem to have picked up a treasure!
