Chapter 291. The importance of contact

"Zihuan doesn't like you!"

Before Wang Hou could mutter to the blindness of his face, Zihuan was a grandson who had appeared in his eyes, Cao Cao explained again, my two sons, Zihuan, Pier!

Wang Hou really felt depressed and became furious. Later modern enterprises basically couldn't encounter them, but it was a common problem in ancient "startup companies" and he encountered them.

That's the heir issue.

Wang Hou, who was diligent and "busy in work", did not expect that he was targeted by the "Crown Prince" and was not optimistic about that.

Then before Wang Hou asked why, Mr. Cao gave an explanation in advance.

"I am also puzzled. Why are you a gentry and a disciple of a saint who loves to use the means of using pipes and is so willing to do business? Before you were in Rizhao City, you can still understand it as endurance, but you have built Qi land and Ji level. You did not persuade the country and the merchants to teach, raise soldiers and herdsmen, and then ran to Qingdao by the sea to make trouble, and what kind of beets do you build a ship!"

"The people of Qi who were also plundered for this are said to be three feet tall! Not only did Guang Zihuan not stand it, but I also wanted to ask you, what are you trying to do?"

"Prime Minister, then what do you think Shang means to the country?"

"Carry taxes in peacetime! Gather wealth in times of crisis!"

He is really a typical ruler of this era. He has exposed the intention of treating merchants as slaughtering without any concealment. He heard that Wang Hou, the big profiteer, couldn't help but say it in a panic.

"Prime Minister, Tu Qiu believes that merchants can not only make money, but more importantly, the effects they bring! Circulation!"

“Distribution?”

This word seemed to have made Cao Cao catch something, but he didn't understand it for a while and couldn't help but repeat it.

Now it was Wang Hou's turn to fool..., Zheng Zheng, sat on the stool and spread his hands, Wang Hou said seriously.

"Yes, circulation!"

"Tuqiu believes that sometimes circulation is more important than production! For example, this Taishan bandit! Taishan County has many mountains, but the arable land is small and the population is becoming more and more lush, and the land that can be cultivated is becoming more and more barren. In the ordinary season, there are still many thieves, let alone this time of chaos in the world!"

"And the Langya Kingdom, which is not far away, has a flat terrain and rich land, and is rich in wheat and corn. It can't be eaten every autumn harvest. The barn of the Wang family of Langya can last for as many as six or seven years, and even a considerable amount of rotten grain has to be cleaned every year!"

"Then Langya Kingdom is the biggest victim of the Taishan bandits! Every year, the Taishan bandits went south to plunder Langya. For decades, the two sides did not know how many battles they fought and how many people died!"

"So after Tuqiu took office, the first thing he did was to collect money and valleys with the wealthy families of Langya Kingdom, and promised them to solve the threat of Taishan bandits! After the battle of Yikou established his authority in the Taishan bandits, Tuqiu I guided Taishan bandits to log timber, mine coal mines, iron ore and other minerals to transport them to my Rizhao City!"

"In this way, Rizhao City gathered refugees, built steel workshops and shipyards, burned coal from Taishan County, refined iron ore, copper ore, manganese ore produced in Taishan County, built agricultural tools, living equipment, built ships, fish and dried fish, sold them to Langya Kingdom for grain, and paid them to various villages in Taishan County! In this way, in the first two years, relying on this triangular trade, I earned a lot of silver, trained 5,000 soldiers and 10,000 soldiers, and were well-trained and well-equipped, so I had the capital to go north but challenged Jiang Yiqu, went to Zang Ba, Wu Dun and the others!"

"Then Qi land is the same. The major families have developed for more than a hundred years, and almost all the land that can be cultivated on both sides of the Jishui River has been annexed. The land belonging to the small landlords of self-cultivated farmers and small landlords has almost no more than 100%. Economically, these aristocratic families that have developed to the limit attack and annex each other. Politically, the aristocratic families that have developed to the limit require considerable voice. Moreover, the rich are all in the fields and the poor have no place to stand. If they are not careful, these poor people who are so poor that they cannot afford to eat can afford the New Yellow Turban Rebellion and become powder kegs!"

Wang Hou's description obviously touched Cao Cao. He was also a rich man from Qiao County. He had also experienced the intrigue situation in the countryside, and he was still experiencing the fear of being dominated by aristocratic families, so Cao Cao's face became much more serious again.

"So I have to rely on business circulation, but this time I will circulate people! Opening Qingdao City, marine shipyards, land sugar factories, and beets all require a lot of manpower and food! In the early stage, I will start a war with the Qidi family, use the Battle of Le'an to regain the right to speak, and then directly deprive the core of these aristocratic races, the tenant farmers they look down upon the most!"

"In the past, the land of these aristocratic families was the only job opportunity. Once they were exploited and could not afford to eat, they would starve to death. The only chance for the poor farmers to survive was to rebel! But now, they can choose to work in Qingdao City, cultivate beets, or go to sea to be sailors, and they can support themselves. On the other hand, tenants are not so dependent on aristocratic families, and the aristocratic families can no longer form local independent kingdoms, which also taught them to be humble and lower their heads to negotiate labor income with tenants! It not only stabilizes politics, but also eliminates contradictions!"

"More importantly, the establishment of Qingdao City has completed the entire cycle of Qingzhou. The grain produced in Qi is exchanged for the iron and agricultural tools, cloth, wine from Qingdao City, sugar, sea salt and fish from sugar, in the future, after communicating with Wu County, there are also silk, tea, Taishan County, Donghai County where Qingdao City is located, and Chengyang County where Rizhao City is located cannot do without Langya Country. Qi's grain. After eating sugar, wearing Rizhao cloth and using Rizhao toilets, once it is gone, the aristocratic tribes of the Langya Country of Qi can't stand it. They need to restrain each other. As long as they are not forced to the extreme, no county will easily rebel!"

After doing this, Wang Hou's expression suddenly became excited, and even stood up, slapped constantly.

"Prime Minister, why did the Han Empire easily fall apart after the Dong Zhuo Rebellion? It is because there are too many high-ranking families in this aristocratic family! They annexed land and crossed prefectures and counties to form large fields. The fields are self-sufficient, and the tenants have nothing to have anything to eat. This gives local aristocratic families a natural space for separatism and is always the source of chaos! Only by trying every means to connect the prefectures and counties through some means, can the prefectures and counties be inseparable from each other, can China be reunified from the hearts of the people!"

A big spit was spitting on Mr. Cao's forehead by Wang Hou. A word was unprecedented, but it was deafening. Cao Cao was stunned for a moment. For several seconds, he then shook his forehead with a deep resentment and glared at Wang Hou with a fierce look. Wang Hou shivered, and quickly sat back on the fart again with a respectful look.

…………….

It was such a stingy boss. He didn't even give him a tea. After Wang Hou's great discussion on governing the country, he drove Wang Hou out without giving a pertinent evaluation. When he left the large tent of the Central Army, it was dark outside. It was probably because Zhao Yun and the others had a meal. They were so dry that they spoke. After thinking about it, Wang Hou simply slipped to Guo Jia's tent next to him.

But today is probably his unlucky day. Just now, he just opened Guo Jia's tent curtain casually. Suddenly, a pair of dry and fast-pinched hands suddenly grabbed his neck and rolled his eyes when they were pinched. The next second, a pair of blood-red eyes reflected in Wang Hou's eyes!!!
