Chapter 221 Cao Zhi's fear!
Not worth worrying?
Cao Chong looked at Guo Xiao and said word by word: "Why is it not worth worrying? My fourth brother is Pingyuan Marquis, with a fief and many aristocratic families. How could he not even afford to support a few aides?"
Guo Xiao smiled and said, "Give food and drink, Pingyuan Hou can naturally raise it, but my son, why did those scholars go to Pingyuan Hou's Mansion to eat and drink enough?"
Cao Chong was stunned and then suddenly realized.
There are some poor scholars, but there are definitely not many. Some of them travel thousands of miles from Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Liangzhou, and some are descendants of landlords themselves. How could they lack food and clothing? Even those poor families, although they lack food and clothing, may not want to be kept as pigs when they come to Pingyuan Hou Mansion.
They are eager to achieve success and realize their ideals!
And this ideal is somewhat difficult to realize with Cao Zhi.
Because Cao Zhi has already many people who are not strong or weak in their abilities, and their positions are already full and no other positions can be made.
When they arrived at Pingyuan Hou Mansion, they had to sit on the bench and were hidden by snow. Their ambitions were not relaxed. Which ambitious person would go to such a place?
No one!
"The Fenghe means that soon, those scholars will come to my recruiting village?"
Guo Xiao nodded and said, "Those people were selected by Pingyuan Hou, so they naturally cannot be argued, so as not to let our operations be done. What's even better is that those people were fooled by Pingyuan Hou and were afraid of Pingyuan Hou being angry, and this is still worth using for the young master."
Cao Chong nodded, and finally there was a smile on his face.
"There is another point that you need to think about in your heart, that is, when my father regains the world, how should you and I deal with it!"
Lu Song and Guo Xiao looked at each other, and finally Lu Song spoke.
"If the Prime Minister can really unify the world, then the young master needs to be prepared even more!"
Be prepared?
“What preparation?”
"The matter of supporting the Prime Minister!"
When Cao Chong heard this, he couldn't help but look at Lu Song, and he had a little understanding of his own team.
They are only loyal to themselves, and a little more promotion is loyal to Cao Cao.
As for Emperor Xian of Han in the Han Dynasty, it doesn’t matter in their hearts!
Cao Chong's face smiled. This is what Cao Chong wanted most and his greatest advantage over Cao Pi!
Why did Cao Pi implement the nine-rank Zhongzheng system? In the early days of his reign, why did he tolerate the aristocratic families?
The reason is that he was helped by a noble family. While the noble family gave him supreme rights, it also hindered Cao Pi's development.
That's why he chose the Nine-grade Zhongzheng system for the support of the aristocratic family.
But Cao Chong is different. His team, except for the Xin family, are all individuals. Even the gentry is a small gentry. In Cao Cao's eyes, you, Cao Chong, are naturally different from Cao Pi.
And this is different, for Cao Chong, it is of great importance, and of course, this is also a later story.
Cao Chong did not answer Lu Song's words, and there was no way to tell whether he was angry or happy in his eyebrows. Lu Song, Guo Xiao and Zhao Yan looked at each other, and then shook his head at the same time.
This young master is probably ready to find him!
The sky outside the house gradually darkened. At dusk, the sky was half red, and the whole sky seemed to be roasted by fire, looking particularly hot.
On the other side of Xudu, there is a small mansion. This is not big, but it is naturally compared to the Prime Minister's Mansion. In fact, the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion is also extremely large in Xudu.
In the convention hall of Pingyuan Hou Mansion, there were several people standing among them. Kneeling on the main seat was a boy in a black brocade robe. He had long flowing hair and sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, but on this beautiful face, there was a hint of sadness that ordinary people could not see. If it weren't Cao Zhi, who was it?
Under Cao Zhi was Yang Xiu, who was wearing a brocade robe. He held his head up and his chest was raised, but there was a hint of sorrow in his eyes.
On the side of Yang Xiu, there was a man with a cataract on his right eye. He looked quite good. The seven-foot master was quite strong, but there was also a hint of sorrow in his eyes.
"Dezu, those people are still muttering to leave?"
Yang Xiu nodded and said, "Not bad!"
After Yang Xiu said this, his eyes rolled, his right hand slightly raised, and his face was filled with a look of regret.
"Zi Jian, who proposed this plan is just causing trouble for yourself for no reason!"
Yang Xiu's expression was not good, but Cao Zhi had a shame on his face.
"Oh, it's all my fault. I have believed in mediocre words. What should I do at this time?"
what to do?
Yang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "What else can you do at this time? Of course, letting people go!"
Release people?
Cao Zhi's head was shaking like a rattle, and he said: "No, what Cang Shu asked for is a talented person. If these people were given to him, wouldn't he be like a fish in water? This person must not be given to him!"
Yang Xiu frowned and said, "If you don't give this person to Cao Chong, what else can you do?"
Cao Zhi looked at Yang Xiu, swallowed, and said, "Save them to provide delicious food and drink!"
Yang Xiu shook his head, and Ding Yi's eyes also had a hint of contempt.
"Does Zijian know that those scholars stay in the mansion for the sake of just food?"
Cao Zhi paused and said, "Then I will give them gold and silver, and I don't believe that they won't stay!"
Yang Xiu sighed, with a little regret in his tone.
"Gold and silver are common things. Maybe some people can stay, but they cannot keep the real desire to achieve success!"
Yang Xiu glanced at Cao Zhi and continued, "Zi Jian, you have left these scholars in Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion. If they have resentment in their hearts, it will be unfavorable to the prince's reputation!"
Yang Xiu decided to work hard on what Cao Zhi values. What Cao Zhi values most is the evaluation of others, and detaining people in it will naturally affect Cao Zhi's reputation.
"Oh~"
Cao Zhi sighed and stood up from the main seat. He looked at Yang Xiu, and tears gradually overflowed from inside.
"I don't know that this move is wrong, but if I really don't do anything, wouldn't Kurashu be like a tiger with wings?"
Yang Xiu walked up, looked straight into Cao Zhi's eyes, and said word by word: "Is Zijian afraid of Cao Chong?"
Afraid?
Cao Zhi took two steps back, with a panic in his eyes, but he soon covered it up and calmed down, but his hands that trembled from time to time still betrayed Cao Zhi.
"Me, why am I afraid of Kurashu!"
Yang Xiu shook his head, took a step back, bowed to Cao Zhi, but sighed in his heart, and his tone became gentle.
"Since Zijian, you are not afraid of Cao Chong, what can he do to give him these people? You and I have been operating for five or six years, isn't it better for him to operate for less than a year?"
"Yes, but I'm not willing to give up!"
Yang Xiu held Cao Zhi's hand and his eyes were extremely firm.
