Chapter 100 Nanying Military, Make Big Money! (3/4)
The next day, in the Luoyang Marquis Mansion, Cao Chong walked out of the inner courtyard with a refreshing spirit, and walked to the lobby of the outer courtyard without stopping.
At this time, Zhao Yan and Guo Xiao had been waiting for a long time in the lobby of the outer courtyard.
Cao Chong knelt on the wool mat, adjusted his sitting position, and then took the simple breakfast handed over by a maid.
"Deshui, let's talk about what happened yesterday."
Zhao Yan received the order and said to Cao Chong: "There were not many things that happened yesterday, but there were mainly two things."
Cao Chong drank millet porridge and looked at Zhao Yan with his eyes straight, with the meaning in his eyes self-evident.
Zhao Yan smiled and continued, "The first thing is the storm that Junhou caused yesterday, which scared the aristocratic families. Even the Zhen family and the Fanyang Lu family in Hebei bowed their heads because of this. Yesterday, the children of the family submitted their resignation letter overnight. Now the Fourth Camp of Nanying has no power to the aristocratic families."
Cao Chong was quite satisfied with this result.
Huan Fan's acting skills are indelible for achieving this effect, and of course, Cao Chong's propaganda organization is also indelible.
Without Huan Fan's tragic performance, those aristocratic families would not think how serious this matter was. Without the strong publicity capabilities of Cao Chong's propaganda organization, they would not know Cao Chong's determination.
Both are indispensable, and together, they can play the role that Zhao Yan presents to Cao Chong.
Cao Chong was quite satisfied with this news. When Cao Chong drank the millet porridge in his hand, Zhao Yan also began to tell the second news.
"As for the second thing, it's almost the same as yesterday's."
What's the difference?
Cao Chong frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhao Yan's eyes were also a little confused, but he also said it.
"Jia Xu resigned, just like yesterday, and the king today did not agree."
Why did Jia Xu resign?
Cao Chong's heart was also full of confusion. In Cao Chong's later generations, Jia Xu was a long-lasting official career, so how could he resign?
Besides, others may think that Jia Xu is over 60 years old and there are not many days to live, but doesn’t Jia Xu know his physical condition?
With Jia Xu's body that can live for another ten years, it would be too hasty to resign at this time?
Cao Chong expressed his deep confusion.
But it's just a puzzle.
Although Jia Xu has some grudges and hatred with him, it is not related to his own interests now, so there is nothing to say about this and there is no need to pay attention to.
Cao Chong was just afraid that Jia Xu would make something.
After Zhao Yan reported on what happened yesterday, he walked out in a stern manner, and only Guo Xiao and Cao Chong were left in the lobby.
Cao Chong ate some snacks, took the maid's handkerchief, wiped the porridge stains on his mouth slightly, and said to Guo Xiao: "Yilang, how are the matter in Nanying?"
Guo Xiao smiled and said, "After all the people from the Fourth Battalion of the South Camp were arranged, nearly 3,000 soldiers were vacant in the Fourth Battalion. These soldiers can be filled in by our people."
Many of the soldiers from the Fourth Battalion of the South Camp are private soldiers of aristocratic families. If the aristocratic families withdraw from these places, it is impossible for these aristocratic families to not take away the private soldiers of these aristocratic families, and the reason is very simple.
These are all population, resources, and the meaning of the family, and they cannot be given up easily.
These private soldiers of the aristocratic families are free laborers for the aristocratic families in their spare time. They can also defend their families during wartime, and when necessary, they can also give them to their family disciples as the foundation for their achievements.
It is well known that aristocratic family has private soldiers, so Boss Cao naturally knows this.
On the one hand, this is also Cao Cao's default.
Of course, the premise is that there should be no too many private soldiers from this aristocratic family.
Private soldiers of aristocratic families are an indispensable part of aristocratic families. It is normal that the family business of aristocratic families is so large and the population is so large. These family businesses need protection and service.
Some private slaves are completely understandable.
But once there are too many people, this is not something that is understandable.
In recent years, Cao Cao killed many heads due to the private soldiers of aristocratic families, and he did not know how many aristocratic families fell because of this.
There are three thousand people, more than a dozen or twenty aristocratic families, and there are several large aristocratic families. Speaking of which, there are a lot of private soldiers from these aristocratic families.
However, Cao Chong did not plan to check it out.
Even if I check it, I guess I can't find anything.
Under the years of severe crackdowns by Boss Cao, these families have learned their skills.
If you go to his house to check, you will find that not only does his house have no private soldiers, but you will also feel that there are too few private soldiers in his house.
The reason is naturally that all private soldiers turned into tenant farmers.
The aristocratic family owns tenant farmers, which is not an illegal crime.
Of course, in the eyes of Boss Cao and the people of the world, it is not illegal or criminal. In front of Cao Chong, that's a big deal.
Land annexation will inevitably lead to the demise of the dynasty and the change of dynasties.
Only by allowing the vast majority of farmers to control the land can a dynasty last forever.
This is a lesson learned from the thousands of years of history of China.
"Then let's arrange those children in."
Guo Xiao nodded and said to Cao Chong: "No!"
To turn the Nanying into your own Nanying, you must first have your own power in the Nanying.
And these three thousand people are just the beginning.
In the next few years, Cao Chong will gradually use conventional replacement methods to transform all the soldiers of the Second, Third and Fourth Battalions into his own dead soldiers.
A dead soldier created in batches.
With these dead soldiers here, Cao Chong basically controlled the power of the Southern Camp. As for the first camp, it was the object of being wary of.
Moreover, it may not be impossible to learn from the later Red Party and to instigate some people to rebel. That is what you can do.
After thinking of this, Cao Chong added another sentence.
"After you arrange those children in, every month in the future, two hundred people will be drawn from the Second, Third and Fourth Battalions, and will be transferred to my manor in Yecheng, and then transferred to the fiefdom of Luoyang. The number of people to be replenished will be drawn from the dead soldiers in the manor."
Guo Xiao nodded and looked at Guo Xiao's back as he walked down, Cao Chong also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Mastering the Nanying is really important for Cao Chong.
When power comes out of the gun, you must also have an army while gaining an advantage in the court.
Otherwise, when you are in the final battle for the throne, even if you are chosen by Cao Cao, but you have no soldiers or soldiers in your hands, wouldn’t you become the lamb in your hands and be slaughtered?
Moreover, there are several benefits to arrange the dead soldiers into the Nanying.
First, Cao Chong also saved a lot of money by making those dead soldiers support the court.
One thousand and two thousand people is a huge expense, let alone 30,000 people?
Secondly, the 30,000 people stripped from the southern camp were also quite powerful for Cao Chong.
Even if these people are not used to fight, they can create wealth for Cao Chong continuously every day.
What a good deal!
While Cao Chong was sighing, Cao Ba slowly walked in.
