Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

The arrival of Mao Jie made the Juancheng family seem to smell something.

However, those gentry from aristocratic families who jumped the most when Lu Bu came, either left with Lu Bu, or went north to join Yuan Shao.

The rest of those who didn't jump so high and were lucky, now, for their own future, they also began to secretly contact each other to discuss countermeasures.

It's just that they didn't expect that the Dongjun family would shamelessly "sell" them!

The rest of the prefectures and counties in Yanzhou will follow the example of Chenliu County, and the news of implementing Lijia and the household registration system spread like wildfire.

The aristocratic family who originally wanted to secretly unite to resist the reform suddenly discovered that the Dongjun group shamelessly stood on Cao Cao's side!

Although the new household registration system will seize the resources of some aristocratic gentry, it will not hurt them fundamentally.

And Cao Cao promised,

As long as they cooperate in promoting household registration reform, everything in the past will be wiped out.As for those collaborating letters and the list given to Tian by Chen Gong, Cao Cao would also personally burn them.

Not only that, but in the future recruitment and employment of officials in Yanzhou, priority will be given to the people they recommend, plus some bits and pieces of benefits, Boss Cao can be said to have used the grace and power to the extreme.

Those aristocratic families in Dongjun who had not had time to start rebelling in the future received promises from Cao Cao.

In this way, as long as they cooperate in the implementation of the household registration system, they can not only avoid punishment and the pain of leaving their hometown, but also regain Cao Cao's trust and gain some real benefits.

This kind of good thing that can return to Boss Cao's arms without hurting his muscles and bones naturally needs strong support!

Therefore, under the leadership of the big family in Dongjun, the family and gentry in Dongjun united and took the lead.

Some people give people, and those who have money give money, and start to spare no effort to promote the household registration system.

During this process, the enthusiasm and enthusiasm they burst out even made Mao Jie and Ren Jun, who had just arrived in Juancheng, stunned.

......

1 Twenty chapters are starting to roll up!

Lu Yan didn't expect Cao Cao's reply to come so quickly, and so simply.

Originally, he thought that he might have to fight with Lao Cao a few times, or even worse, he might have to go to Juancheng himself.

But did not expect,

"Boss Cao agreed so readily? Doesn't this match his suspicious personality?!"

In the county guard's mansion, Lu Yan looked at the reply letter and wondered if Cao Cao changed his temper at some point.

"Did Boss Cao trust me a little too much, that he could agree to cheating my brother so happily?"

You must know that once Cao Hong takes control of the chamber of commerce, he will always be entangled with the merchants in the future, which will have some impact on his future career and reputation.

Lu Yan shook his head, put away the letter, and muttered: "Boss Cao, you sell my brother very well, don't you try to protect my brother?"

Forget it, don't think about it for now.

Lu Yan can't take care of the chamber of commerce for the time being.

Because since Mao Jie left, he has no one who can have an overview of the overall situation.

In the past, I thought that Mao Jie was just wandering around, looking for people to do family affairs, but now Lu Yan found out, "Grandpa Xiaoxian, when will you come back?"

Han Hao and Yi Ji are still rookies in the workplace, and it may take a while before they want to challenge the leaders.

Mao Jie didn't know when he would be able to come back.

So during this period of time, Lu Yan needs to handle many slightly bigger matters in person.

Working overtime in the dark has once again become the norm these days.

Even Cao Ang couldn't help but sigh after seeing it, "Your Majesty, you've worked really hard!"

Cao Ang sighed with emotion, and placed a pile of copybooks beside Lu Yan, saying, "Prefect, these are today's government affairs. You have worked hard..."

Lu Yan said blankly: "Just put it away."

Cao Ang tidied up the files obediently, and said, "General Cao Ren brought over 3000 armors and more than [-] swords and guns..."

"Damn! I was plotted by that bastard Cao Ren!" Lu Yan immediately regretted his negligence at that time, "Next time we must agree on the quantity first, otherwise this guy may even want to bring underwear Refurbished...”

Lu Yan just thought of this,

Cao Ang took a peek at Lu Yan's expressionless face, and after hesitating for a moment, he still dared to say:

"General Cao Ren also sent his armor, weapons and inner lining. If it can be repaired, it will be repaired as much as possible. If it cannot be repaired, it will be replaced with a new one."

"Boom!" Lu Yan slapped the copy suddenly, and shouted in dissatisfaction: "Damn Cao Ren, what does he think of my place?"

Cao Ang's eyes widened, he stared at a handprint on the table, couldn't help but swallowed, and then said: "He...he said he could pay...if he can get back Weijun He is willing to pay for armor of that quality no matter how much it costs!"

Hearing this, Lu Yan twitched his mouth and said with a sneer: "The young man is waiting for me here! How dare you count my things, how courageous you are!"

Seeing that Lu Yan was getting angry, Cao Ang thought that Cao Ren's entrustment would fail, but he didn't expect Lu Yan to agree: "Okay, I agree! You go and tell Cao Ren, a simple simple knife, and a General-style iron armor, a total of one hundred gold!"

During this period, the so-called armor on most regular soldiers was actually leather armor.

Most of the Yellow Turban Army wore civilian clothes and went into battle with a hoe.

The real armor is expensive. An ordinary soldier's iron armor may cost tens of thousands of dollars, which is at least one tael of gold, let alone a general's excellent armor.

Lu Yan asked for a hundred gold. Although there was an element of a lion's big mouth in it, the things he gave would definitely not be bad, and at most he would earn half and half.

Cao Ren is now General Pian and Prefect of Yingchuan, with a salary of two thousand shi.

It is said to be two thousand shi, but in fact the monthly salary is 120 hu (one hu = one shi), which means a total of 1440 shi a year.

Based on the current price of about 6 yuan in Chenliu County, it would cost nearly [-] yuan for a year without food or drink.

In other words, Lu Yan ate up Cao Ren's salary for almost ten years (calculated according to the current salary)......

"Hiss!" Cao Ang couldn't help but feel a bit heartbroken for Cao Ren when he heard Lu Yan say that it was a hundred gold, "One hundred gold is almost a million yuan! Uncle Clan will inevitably bleed this time!"

But no matter what, the task Cao Ren entrusted to him was completed.

As for whether he can spend so much money, that is Cao Ren's own business.

Seeing Cao Ang leave, Lu Yan plunged into the business pile again.

Now he can't wait to take the copy home and drag out Guo Fengxiao, who stays at home all day long, to work together.

"Eh? That's a good idea!" So Lu Yan had someone carry a box of copybooks, and went back to his house...

......

A month later, Lu Yan almost straightened out everything in his hands.

The sudden influx of government affairs before was mainly due to a series of changes and work brought about by the expansion of the official workshop.

After being busy for a while, things went smoothly.

Yi Ji and Han Hao are almost mature... oh no, they are proficient.

in the chamber,

From today onwards, Lu Yan has successively assigned the tasks in his hands to Yi Ji, Han Hao, and the eldest son Cao Ang. He called it "grinding!"

After everyone finished assigning tasks and left, Lu Yan thought to himself: "Everything is ready, it's time to start forming the chamber of commerce!"

He found Boss Cao's reply letter from the copybook, and to show his sincerity, he decided to go to Xuchang himself to have a good chat with Cao Hong.

The next day,

Lu Yan came to Xuchang with Xia Houlan.

Anyway, with Zhao Yun commanding the defenders of Chenliu County, and there is no fighting now, bringing Xia Houlan out should be a distraction.

Entering Xuchang City, Xia Houlan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Hey! The changes in Xuchang are really great!"

Looking at the busy street, Lu Yan couldn't help but nodded and replied: "Indeed, when I came here for the first time, it was still in decline. But I don't want to come here again, it has become so bustling and lively."

The rapid recovery of Yingchuan County is actually due to the vitality of Chenliu County.

The two counties are adjacent to each other, and they are each other's lips and teeth.

The vitality of Chenliu County was continuously injected into Yingchuan County, and Cao Ren and Cao Hong, who were in charge of Yingchuan County, copied some of Chenliu County's policies, so Yingchuan County was naturally brought up slowly.

The reason why only part of Chenliu County's policy was copied was because Yingchuan County still had many aristocratic forces occupying it, and the situation was too complicated.

Let's take a look at the wealthy families in Yingchuan County back then!

Yingyin Xun family, Xuxian Chen family, Changshe Zhong family, Xiangcheng Li family, Yangzhai Guo family, Yangzhai Xin family, Wuyang Han family, Dingling Du family, Fucheng Feng family...

However, most of them moved away to avoid disaster, but even so, Yingchuan still left behind many powerful families.

For these forces, Cao Ren and Cao Hong dare not touch them lightly.

Suddenly hearing the news of Lu Yan's visit, Cao Hong, who was patrolling the soldiers in the barracks, hurried back to the county government office.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the county government's meeting hall, Cao Hong immediately showed a bright smile on his face, then rubbed his hands, bowed his waist, and greeted in an unusually enthusiastic tone: "Oh, sir! You should notify in advance if you want to come. One sound! This way I can go out of the city to meet you."

"Zilian, why do I feel that your enthusiasm is a bit too much?" Lu Yan asked Cao Hong, scanning Cao Hong up and down with some sort of scrutinizing gaze.

Cao Hong felt that he had been penetrated by Lu Yan, so he simply said to Lu Yan:

"That...actually...hehe...,

Hong Yezheng wants to ask Mr. to build a pair of armor and a weapon for me too...

It is of the same quality as Zixiao's armor worth hundreds of gold! "

121 Zhang Zilian, you must be the president

Regarding Cao Hong's request to build a pair of armor, Lu Yan asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

"That's why Zixiao came to ask me to borrow money... I asked him why he took so much money."

"Hehe!" Lu Yan immediately looked at Cao Hong with admiration, "Did you lend it to him? How much did you borrow?"

Speaking of borrowing money, a trace of heartache still flashed across Cao Hong's face,

"I borrowed a hundred gold from Zixiao...

You also know that Zixiao's daily salary is used to subsidize the soldiers besides supporting his family.

If I lent it to him, nine times out of ten I would never get it back. "

Then you still borrow it?It seems that the current Cao Hong has not reached the point where he was so desperate for his life in his later years, and he can still be rescued!

"Holy shit! Local tyrant!" Lu Yan was shocked, "That is to say, you borrowed 100 gold to Cao Ren, and then you have to pay another 100 gold to build a pair of armor for yourself?!"

Evil local tyrant!

Cao Ren glanced around and saw that only Xia Houlan was here, then he tilted his head and approached Lu Yan, and said in a low voice, "Sir, if you can make better weapons and armor, I can add 20 more." gold!"

"I'm so good!" Lu Yan looked at Cao Hong, and suddenly felt that his whole body was shining with the light of local tyrant gold, "I really can't see it, Zilian, you have such a rich family background!" Lu Yan sighed.

In fact,

A large part of Cao Hong's fame in later generations comes from the fact that he followed Cao Cao through life and death and experienced so many battles, but from his incomparably rich wealth and his stinginess.

At a certain time, Cao Hong's family wealth was even inferior to Cao Cao's!

But he has not yet reached the level of wealth that can rival a country.

But after all, I have worked with Cao Cao for so many years,

The inheritance from his ancestors, the rewards from Cao Cao, plus the salary and some filial piety received, maybe he is still doing business secretly in private... In short, Cao Hong's net worth is really rich.

Cao Hong smiled a little embarrassedly: "Personal hobbies, personal hobbies, hehe!"

Now that the conversation has reached this point, Lu Yan no longer hides it.

After casting a look at Xia Houlan and telling him to close the door, Lu Yan said to Cao Hong: "Zilian, since you love money so much, I just have a chance to make a lot of money here. Are you interested in knowing more about it?" one time?"

When Cao Hong heard that he could make a lot of money, his expression instantly turned into flattery, "Sir, you know me Cao Hong best!"

After taking half a step closer, Cao Hong came to Lu Yan and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, what kind of opportunity is it?"

Lu Yan took out a piece of silk with the merchant's instructions from his sleeve, handed it to Cao Hong, and said, "Look at it first, and then ask me questions after reading it."

"Oh, ok..." Cao Hong took the silk and began to study it carefully.

"Huh?" After reading it carefully two or three times, Cao Hong raised his head, frowned and asked: "Sir, this chamber of commerce is an interesting thing, but this business tax..."

Lu Yan saw that Cao Hong was hesitant and even resisted, so he said: "Just like farmers pay taxes for farming, commodity transactions should also extract taxes from transaction profits." After a pause, Lu Yan continued: "Being a merchant After becoming a member, in addition to their internal transactions being cheaper, each member can also get a dividend at the end of the year. The source of this part of the dividend is also deducted from the business tax."

Cao Hong glanced at Lu Yan, shook his head and said, "Sir, what I mean is, the business tax is ten and one, is it too low?"
