Guo Xiao nodded, bowed to Cao Chong again, and said, "June, this is a gift from the Zhang family and the Cao family."

Giving gifts.

Cao Chong nodded, Zhou Dufu beside him quickly walked to Guo Xiao in two steps and took the two rolls of bamboo slips in front of him to Cao Chong.

Cao Chong unfolded the bamboo slips, and the first one to see was the bamboo slips of the Cao family.

The Cao family itself is not a Han Chinese, but because they have lived with Han Chinese for a long time, they are actually not much different from the Han Chinese.

However, I don’t know if I’m afraid of Cao Chong or what, Cao Chong looked at the gift list given by the Cao family and felt that Cao Song was still very conscious of the times.

Those who know the times are heroes, Cao Song is not simple.

To be honest, Cao Chong's most ideal state is to eliminate all the aristocratic families in Wuwei, and the Jia family, Cao Chong and Cao Chong want to be completely destroyed like them like the Duan family.

Cao Chong has a starting point for doing this. Moreover, doing such a thing will not only save trouble, but also bring a lot of benefits to himself and there will be few troubles in the future.

Just like Cao Chong completely wiped out the Duan family, he obtained all the wealth of the Duan family, and what they had saved over hundreds of years.

Gold, silver and jewelry alone are countless numbers, not to mention their industries in Wuwei and even in Liangzhou.

These industries represent not only the influx of gold, silver and jewelry that can continuously provide Cao Chong with countless gold, silver and jewelry, but more importantly, it can provide Cao Chong with information from all over Liangzhou.

Intelligence is war, the most important thing in gameplay. If you don’t have intelligence, even if your power is ten times the opposite side, you may still fail. But if your intelligence is more than the opponent, and you even know more than the previous year, then you may use half of your people to defeat enemies that are several times more than you.

Know yourself and your enemy and win every battle.

In later generations, Cao Chong knew that the form of war was information war, but in this era, it was not the case.

If Cao Chong could store all the things of the Zhang family, Cao family, and Jia family, Cao Chong's intelligence network would definitely cover the entire Liangzhou, and it could be truly considered invincible to Liangzhou.

Of course, Cao Chong also knew that this was impossible.

The reason is very simple.

Cao Chong cannot do it.

Liangzhou, nowadays, is Liangzhou of aristocratic families, not the Han Dynasty, or Liangzhou of Wei State, and not the Liangzhou of the Marquis of Luoyang.

In Wuwei, Cao Chong directly destroyed the Duan family and seriously injured the Jia family. He could use Jia Quan and Duan Cheng’s rebellion to perfunctorily, but he really couldn’t find a reason to deal with the Cao family and the Zhang family. After all, they were already so sensible about the current affairs.

When destroying the Duan family and seriously injuring the Jia family, Cao Chong knew that he would inevitably get disgusted by the Liangzhou family. If he attacked the Cao family and the Zhang family again, under the tragedy of the rabbit and the fox, Cao Chong was not sure whether these families would make extreme actions.

These are not what Cao Chong wants to see, so even if Cao Chong really wants to attack the Cao family and the Zhang family, he can only stop now.

but...

This is just a temporary stop. It is definitely not a good idea to truly manage Liangzhou well and truly master the land of Liangzhou and compromise with the aristocratic families.

If you want to manage Liangzhou well and truly master Liangzhou, aristocratic families will definitely not be able to avoid it.

But this is all for the future...

Cao Chong projected his eyes on the bamboo slips in his hand.

The Cao family’s gift list is very rich, which is why Cao Chong was surprised.

"One thousand dan of grain, five thousand gold, one hundred silk cars, ten thousand acres of land, one hundred beautiful girls, and one hundred girls. At the same time, the Cao family gave three thousand clan soldiers and came under the jurisdiction of the provincial and pastoral government..."

Cao Chong looked at the next gift of the bamboo slips and found that it was basically gold and silver jewelry.

One plate of coral beads, golden beads, beeswax beads, and agarwood beads.

There are four pieces of green jade, four pieces of white jade, two pieces of crystal, two pieces of gold amber, two pieces of pearl bracelet, jade bracelet, coral bracelet, and agarwood bracelet.

Two pieces of jade, two pieces of ivory, two pieces of deer bones, two pieces of ox horns.

A pair of red gold inlaid treasure buckles, a pair of white jade mandarin duck buckles, a pair of bearded silk bearded silk bearded turquoise gown with four pairs of buttons, and a small knife and sickle with a jade handle.

Four gold collars and six silver collars.

....................................................................................

Does Cao Song think I don’t have so much gold and silver jewelry, or do I want to please the two women I brought with me?

Wait a moment...

Cao Chong seemed to realize something.

How come these gifts look like wedding gifts, like white jade mandarin ducks, it is obvious that only weddings are gifts given by father-in-law.

Sure enough, Cao Chong saw a name at the end of the gift list.

Cao Qian.

Cao Chong took a photo and thought it was a gift from the Cao family. Well, although it was a gift from the Cao family, how did it look like the dowry prepared by the Cao family for Cao Qian?

Cao Chong picked up the Zhang family's gift bamboo slips, and his face became gloomy in an instant.

At the end of the bamboo slip, there is indeed a name.

Zhang Ming.

What a Cao family, what a Zhang family.

On the surface, I surrendered to myself, but in fact I still have a small plan in my heart.

Treat this gift as their daughter's dowry, so that although these things caused them to bleed, they actually did not lose much in the end.

Because these things are their daughter's dowry.

You should know that in this era, a woman’s dowry is the property of these women and has nothing to do with the man. Unless the woman is consented, the man cannot use this money.

Moreover, it is not a glorious thing for the man to use the woman's dowry.

Of course, a person with the status of Cao Chong cannot touch the dowry of the woman.

These aristocratic families are easy to plot!

But Cao Chong had to accept this.

Even as a dowry, the aristocratic family still gave him these things to Cao Chong. The difference is whether it was to Cao Chong directly, but to Cao Chong's woman.

Cao Chong really can't cause trouble for these aristocratic families.

really...

None of the aristocratic families is simple.

Guo Xiao looked at Cao Chong's face changing, lowered his head, and did not dare to look up at Cao Chong.

As for others, they are also very conscious of this.

Cao Chong put down the bamboo slips and took a deep breath. After calming down, a smile appeared on Cao Chong's face.

"This Cao family and Zhang family are interesting, but let it go aside, after all, they are considered to be bleeding."

Seeing that Cao Chong finally calmed down, Guo Xiao raised his head and continued, "June, in addition to the aristocratic family offering gifts, the provincial and ministerial palace has also been cleaned up. In various locations, they have basically become our people, and we are also receiving the Jia family's industry."

Cao Chong nodded.

"After all there is good news, where are you?"

Deng Ai is responsible for Cao Chong's military farming. Now that Cao Chong has cleared the obstacles for him, he naturally needs to understand his military farming ideas.

"June, in the near future, the Qiang and Hu may come to Wuwei County. In addition, the wheat from Guzang's four encounters is not yet mature. Now Deng Ai just wants to sort out more land suitable for cultivation, and it is best to stay away from Guzang. After all, the land close to the city is left to the local people to cultivate."

In fact, Deng Ai still felt a little slandered about Cao Chong's land for the local people to cultivate.

After all, if this land is handed over to the people, it is equivalent to at least 30% of the food and grass being reduced by military farms, which is definitely not a small amount.

But Deng Ai also understood that he could not affect Cao Chong now, and he could only do his own thing.

Of course, the reason why Deng Ai complained was that he did not see Cao Chong's 30% of the food, which brought the wishes of the entire Wuwei people. For Cao Chong, this deal was so cost-effective that it was no longer cost-effective.

At this point, Guo Xiao, Zhuge Liang and others did not say a word.

In comparison, Deng Ai is still young after all and needs more exercise.

"It's done well, and the real thing is to solve these Qianghu before talking about it."

Deng Ai nodded and bowed back to his position.

Cao Chong put his eyes on Zhuge Liang again.

"Kong Ming, what did that guy do yesterday?"

Zhuge Liang stepped forward and bowed to Cao Chong and said, "That person did nothing, he just cleaned up the Jia family. In addition, he sent 120 people from the Jia family."

One hundred and twenty people from the Jia family?

Cao Chong looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "One hundred and twenty people?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "It's someone related to Jia Quan."

Cao Chong nodded and said, "Since that's the case, we will kill them all."

Zhuge Liang nodded and retreated.

"The matter of talking about Wuwei with you cannot decide anything. So let's come here today. You have completed the matter in your hands. Two days later, we will discuss the matter of Qianghu. According to the information of this marquis on the grassland, the team of the King of Xiqiang came towards Wuwei. It was only five days to reach Wuwei, so it was time to prepare to deal with them."

The person under the seat stood up and saluted Cao Chong. When Cao Chong left the lobby, he slowly withdrew.

Walking out of the lobby, Cao Chong said to Zhou Dufu Wei Yan behind him, "You and I will disguise you and I will dress up in one or two, and I will go on a private visit."
