"If the market system and curfew are as you say, it can be eliminated, but has the prince ever thought that if the yamen runners are greatly increased, the food and salary will not be a small amount. Moreover, after the prince greatly reduced the tax, the Wei State may not be able to support these people. Dingdian X23US"

When Cao Pi heard this question, he nodded softly.

This is also his doubts.

Cao Chong naturally thought of Cao Cao's problem.

"The world has been through wars for a long time, just like the end of the Qin Dynasty, and everything is in trouble. The people are tired of war and long for peace. At this time, they should be like Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, light taxes and rest with the people. Therefore, the ministers reduce taxes for the people. As for the problem of the number of yamen runners after the curfew is lifted, it is not difficult to solve. Since the abolition of the curfew is a matter of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, after the commercial tax income, it is only a fraction of the money to pay these yamen runners."

Cao Cao nodded.

"I understand this, but why did you create a third hospital in the future?"

Of course, this third hospital is similar to that of Liangzhou.

The Academy of Geju, the Academy of Agricultural College and the Academy of Military College.

The three hospitals each have their own functions.

Among the three colleges, the first result is the best explanation. Cao Chong's eyes rolled and immediately said: "The three colleges are naturally to benefit the people and increase national strength."

"I wonder how this Third House will increase national strength and benefit the people?"

Cao Chong held the wine bottle in his hand and said with a smile: "The first in the Three Courts is to take the meaning of investigating things and to obtain knowledge. The purpose is to understand the laws of all things and then use it for our Wei Kingdom. For example, why gunpowder can explode and why it is so powerful, we must understand it. This is the role of the Three Courts. The second in the Third Courts is the Military Academy. As the name suggests, the Military Academy is to study weapons. At present, the Nine Provinces are pacified and the four seas are peaceful. However, there are not only nine provinces in the world, and there are not only four seas in the world. My ministers are not conservatives, and my ministers also have the ambition of Emperor Wu. They want to expand their territory and open up their territory and lay a foundation for our Great Wei Kingdom. If there are weapons that are more powerful than gunpowder, who will be the opponent of my Great Wei Kingdom?"

"The third of these three colleges is the Agricultural College. The Agricultural College is the things related to the people and agriculture. They mainly study how to get more harvests from crops, how to raise the most chickens, dogs, cattle and sheep with the lowest cost, how to complete the hardest work with the least effort, and do the most things. For example, the curved plow that the Agricultural College just launched before can be said to have greatly benefited the people."

"Quyuan Plough?" Cao Cao frowned, a little confused.

The same is true for Cao Pi.

"It's just a farm tool, how can it be said to be a great benefit to the people?"

"The second brother is wrong. Just imagine, if there is no straight plow and the people can only use their hands to plow the fields when they are farming, how hard will the people work and how slow will the farming speed be?"

Cao Chong changed his breath and continued, "I don't know the benefits of this curved plow, so I will tell you in detail."

"The Classic of Shanhai" originally said, "Rishhujun, the grandson of Houji, began to plow." According to legend, the grandson of Houji, Shujun, invented the plow. The initial plowshares were made of wood, bones, stones, and clams. The iron plow crown was used in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Qin and Han Dynasties had full iron plowshares. The Zhao State invented the coupling plow of two oxen and three people, which was a straight shaft that was first carried, and the components included plowshares, plow arrows, plow beds, plow tips, etc., and the plowshares were characterized by the straight shaft. However, this straight shaft plow has two disadvantages. One is that the plow without a plow wall can only turn over the soil, not break the soil, loosen the soil and ridges, and the other is a long straight shaft plow. When plowing the land, it is not flexible enough to turn around. It is difficult to make the soil and bend the rocker, and the efficiency is not very high."

"Once the people popularized the Quyuan Plow, they could cultivate two acres of land now, three acres, or even more. My second brother thought that this was not to benefit the people, nor was this to force our Wei Kingdom?"

"This, this..."

Even Cao Pi is speechless now.

If it is really as Cao Chong said, then this curved plow is too useful. It is not just to benefit the people. Strengthening the national strength of Wei. This is simply a merit for generations!

The Wei State originally had a small population, so it vigorously promoted fertility, so that people could cultivate the fields that could have been cultivated. Once Cao Chong's Quyuan Plough was invented, it turned out that a commoner could only cultivate ten acres of land, but now he could cultivate twenty acres and thirty acres.

For Wei State, the tax revenue increased by two or three times.

"So, this curved plow is a powerful weapon. Who invented this thing? I want to reward him!"

Cao Chong's lips slit and he said with a smile: "If your father wants to reward you, you will reward the Agricultural College. This is not a merit for one person, but a merit for one person."

Cao Cao nodded.

"With such a powerful weapon, why worry about the rise of Wei State?"

Boss Cao looks in a good mood.

However, Cao Pi felt mixed feelings in his heart, and even if he was bitter, he would be a little discouraged.

Of course, he was unwilling to accept that the position of the prince was now under Cao Chong's butt, and he was discouraged. He suddenly realized that he was in governing the country and seemed to be really inferior to Cao Chong.

This made him feel a little unacceptable for a moment.

If he became the crown prince now, the Wei Kingdom would have never had such a big change.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, Cao Pi had to admit it.

Boss Cao asked Cao Chong these questions, and then looked at Cao Pi's current expression, and then he did not continue to ask.

Boss Cao asked these questions because he didn’t know the effectiveness of these decrees?

Does he not understand?

Of course not!

It should be noted that when Cao Chong issued these decrees, he only implemented them after he received Cao Cao's consent.

Although he was in charge of the state, he did not possess all the power of the State of Wei.

Of course, when handing Cao Cao the bamboo slips, Cao Chong had the possible consequences and benefits of attaching this decree to the back, at least let Cao Cao know why he was doing it.

Since Cao Cao agreed to these decrees, he asked these questions in front of Cao Pi today, of course, to Cao Pi.

The purpose is also very simple, which is to make Cao Pi lose this heart.

Your brother is very suitable to be the prince, more suitable than you. I have not misunderstood the person, so you should not be so unable to let go. It is time to let go. Isn’t it great to be a wealthy marquis?

Cao Cao hoped that Cao Pi would let go of this idea of ​​becoming the prince.

but...

Can Cao Pi let it go?

Cao Chong turned his head to look at Cao Pi. At this time, Cao Pi lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Only Cao Pi knew what he thought at this moment.

What are you thinking about?

Do you have to let go?

Cao Pi's eyes gradually became brighter.

Father, you have the right vision. Cang Shu, your ability to govern the country is indeed more than mine.

but!

But there is only one throne after all, either yours or mine.

Now you are the prince, but I am still unwilling to let this throne be given to you!

Absolutely unwilling to give up!

Why can't I be the King of Wei?

Even if I am not as good as Kurashu!

But I am unwilling to give up. I am the eldest son, and the position of the prince should be mine!

Huh ~

Cao Pi gently exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"Father, are you asking these questions for your sons?"

Cao Pi's cold words made Cao Cao suddenly stop.

Although Cao Chong looked surprised, he was not surprised in his heart.

really...
Chapter completed!
