As usual, after Liu Xie's order to move, half of the civil and military officials in the world were finding their aides around them as much as possible, thinking about the deep meaning of the emperor.

Among them, after Cao Cao finally returned to Yecheng, he heard that the emperor was going to move the capital, and immediately brought a large number of civil and military officials around him, and rushed to Xudu without stopping until he crossed the Yellow River at night and returned to the Guandu area to set up camp and rest, and finally took time to call his staff to chat together. What is the deep meaning of the emperor this time?

Of course, no matter what the deep meaning is, Cao Cao must go back. After all, if a one-and-a-half-year-old prince can be regent, he will be a monster. The so-called prince's regent is not the queen's regent and the ministers are assisting the government.

Cao Xi is regent, so he has to watch anyway; the ministers are in charge of the government, so he must not be away at this time.

However, Cao Cao was already feeling a little panicked even though he was just on the way to Xudu.

"Everyone, what do you mean by saying that the emperor is so anxious to move the capital, and even hesitates to supervise the prince. What is he meant to do? Gongren, please tell me your opinion first."

When Dong Zhao saw Cao Cao clicking his name first, he unconsciously began to feel nervous, and then lowered his head and began to think.

It turns out that Dong Zhao should have been Cao Cao's confidant. Before Liu Xie traveled back, he had already assumed the burden of Luoyang Order. He should have been unlucky. Inexplicably, he lost his position in Liu Xie's slutty operation. When he wanted to please Xiahou Dun and save Xiahou Wei, he accidentally cheated himself. He kicked him to Yanzhou and followed Cheng Yu for several years. As a result, Cheng Yu was unable to take him away when he went to Jingzhou.

Of course, Cao Cao knew that Dong Zhao had previously beaten Xiahou Dun and should be loyal to him. However, the reason why Dong Zhao was able to stand out was because he helped Cao Cao get through Emperor Xian of Han before the time travel.

Back then, Dong Zhao still recommended it to Liu Xie's subordinates. At that time, he hooked up with Cao Cao and invited Cao Cao to Luoyang. After that, Dong Zhao helped him provide advice and successfully welcomed the emperor.

At that time, Cao Cao reported to Liu Xie that Luoyang was short of food, so we went to Luyang for a while to find some food. But when we were halfway, we suddenly ordered the troops to turn around and made both the emperor and the court come.

This strategy was made by Dong Zhao, and most of the tenth was persuaded by Dong Zhao. After all, Dong Zhao was the most loyal and loyal minister in Luoyang who stayed in Luoyang to take care of the emperor's daily life. Who else could Liu Xie believe if he didn't believe it?

Although from the result, you can see that the capital was moved by Xudu for only more than five years, Liu Xie has almost revived the world. Cao Cao has long given an official characterization in the matter of welcoming the emperor, believing that it was a great achievement that had been destroyed, and the emperor could not cause trouble for Cao Cao because of this matter.

But not asking Cao Cao for trouble does not mean not asking Dong Zhao for trouble, and there is no need for Liu Xie to do it himself. If Dong Zhao dares to go back to Xu Du, Zhang Yang would just carry his sword and kill him with a knife. I am afraid no one dares to go to the Tingwei Mansion for him to shout injustice.

Therefore, it is actually risky to Cao Cao re-enable Dong Zhao as his minister and is definitely not a good choice.

But it would not work if it was not enabled. Cui Yan had to stay in Yecheng. The other famous scholars in Jizhou and Qingzhou who were activated were not really trustworthy in terms of ability. Cao Cao felt that it was not reliable in terms of loyalty. After thinking about it, he still re-activated Dong Zhao, who had already offended the emperor.

And this question is naturally Cao Cao's examination of Dong Zhao.

After all, the emperor today is completely different from the emperor who was just welcomed by him. As an aide, the most important task is to help you interpret the profound meaning of the emperor.

Dong Zhao also understood the meaning of the school entrance examination. After pondering for a while, he said: "The emperor's attempt to move the capital so urgently is naturally quite large. Since he took power, the administrative structure of the center seems to be similar, but in fact, compared with before, the inside is already earth-shaking, and it can be said to be a brand new administrative structure."

"The emperor reformed and disdained the name of Fa and ancient times. There were always unexpected actions, and everything was unseen. Now it seems that there is no problem with these measures, but this is inseparable from the emperor's prestige. To be honest, with today's prestige, there will be no big problems in the design of the central government."

"However, everyone knows that the emperor is a talented person who wants to create a law for all generations and has always advocated the Legalists' way of governing the country. Naturally, he wants to see if he leaves himself, the Shangshutai, and the Tax Cabinet can still operate normally. If there is any small problem, you can also check for omissions. After all, this time the capital is indeed the best time to adjust the central structure of the court."

Cao Cao nodded without commenting and said, "Yes, I should have such an intention, what else?"

"This... Since our dynasty, most of the monarchs have collapsed early, which has led to the fact that when the new monarch ascended the throne, they are often young and have to rely on the empress dowager to control the government, and then the foreign relatives are dictatorial, Huo Guang Wang Mang, Chen Fan Dou Wu, and even the general He Jin of the late emperor. All of this are the case. The emperor is probably... to prevent problems before they happen."

"Well, let's talk about it specifically, how to prevent problems before they happen?"

"First, I want to see what you will do with Mr. Wei, and secondly, I want to check whether the queen has the means to stabilize the political situation. Thirdly, I want to see whether the newly set tax negotiations, salt and iron, and other measures can block the autocracy of relatives, at least not threaten the imperial power like Huo Guang. The emperor has obviously been in Luoyang for many days. He is still in Luoyang now, and he has not really died. If this is the case, the queen has not yet been able to stabilize the court, this... should be unlikely."

Cao Cao smiled bitterly in his heart. She would probably be in trouble if his daughter didn't come back.

"Of course, maybe this is also the emperor's temptation to you. Now that the emperor has left the center, he only has guards around him. To be honest, there is no better time for mutiny than now."

When Cao Cao heard this, he showed a smile that was even more ugly than crying and said: "The emperor's plan for ghosts and gods is beyond the limits of human power. How can he put himself in danger? If this is really a test, he must have an extremely powerful backhand waiting for me. I can't guess what it is now, and I don't want to guess. I'm crazy and will jump into the trap he set."

After thinking about it, Cao Cao asked again: "Is there any?"

"This... I am a little stupid, and for a moment, I can only think of these."

"Well, it's fine, after all, you've been in the center for a long time. There will definitely be a gap compared to those close ministers who always stay with the emperor. It's already very good to think of these in a hurry."

Then he turned to the others and said, "Everyone, what else do you have?"

Everyone thought for a while, but Guan Ning still said, "I think Mr. Wei shouldn't have come back this time."

"Oh? What are your opinions sir?"

"I think the emperor is really trying to target you this time. It shouldn't be as simple as deliberately luring you into a mutiny. After all, you will definitely want to return to the court when he leaves. Since you have returned to the court, I am afraid that there will be some changes in the three continents of Ji, Qing and Yan."

Dong Zhao frowned and said, "We are in charge of the power of the central government when we return to Beijing. The seal is in our own hands. The emperor is far away in Luoyang. We can't skip the Shangshutai to interfere in local affairs, right? Then isn't the world going to be in chaos?"

Guan Ning shook his head and said, "It is true that this is normal, but now it is about to plow spring. After the plowing spring, the tax conference will be held. The tax collection will be used to summarize and review the taxes that the imperial court has collected in the past six months since the autumn harvest last year, and conduct a large-scale personnel assessment of local officials."

"There will inevitably be large-scale personnel changes after the assessment. If we are in Wei County, the court will worry about us. But since we return to the court, we naturally have to set an example. Moreover, the scale of the tax deliberation meeting is too large and there are too many participants. The main task is to settle accounts. They are all talking with numbers. When encountering officials with poor performance in the assessment, they will naturally have to deal with it with them. If the excellent ones are naturally transferred."

When Cao Cao heard this, he frowned unconsciously.

It’s not how serious the problem that Guan Ning analyzed was to him, but Cao Cao really felt that Guan Ning was a little unlucky.

Guan Ning's opinion is mainly focused on the four words "set by example". This is because he is a gentleman, and when he thinks about problems, he unconsciously substituted Cao Cao into a gentleman.

The problem is that no gentleman is there nowadays. If you don’t have thick-skinned faces, what kind of official do you think of? Why is the word official two mouths? Isn’t it just because you have no teeth and you have to chew more food?

This is true of Guan Ning’s talent, and even more morality. However, he obviously does not understand politics enough, or he has read a basket of books by sages, but he has too little experience in doing things.

If Cao Cao wants to be a nepotist, does he still need to use some fraudulent means in the assessment?

Politics is the art of compromise. At present, Xu Du is the biggest, Xun Yue and Xun Yu are not here, Liu Bei is now in a military position, and this time the capital move will definitely involve military system reform. He is at the forefront and he definitely has no time to take care of this matter. His opponent is Yang Biao, and he only needs to use some small means to become an official, and these things are not a problem at all.

When Dong Zhao heard this, he said, "You'an's words reminded me, lord, spring farming is indeed a big deal. I heard that Zhang Yan has been thinking about returning to Jizhou."

"Zhang Yan?"

"If the black bandits led by Zhang Yan add up the men, women, young and old, they will probably be more than two million. After surrendering last year, his young and strong man have been helping build the new palace in Luoyang, digging canals and canals, and when the spring plowing is over, they must be planted in different lands. They can't let them live in the Taihang Mountains."

"Didn't they have allocated a lot of land in Bingzhou?"

"Among the black bandits, Jizhou people are actually much more people than Bingzhou, and Bingzhou has no idle land as much as Jizhou. Of course, the most important thing is, if you can divide the land of Jizhou, who would want Bingzhou?"

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this. Although he had never cultivated the land, he still knew these basic things, but obviously, some people still don’t know them.

Guan Ning asked: "Is there a big difference between Bingzhou and Qingzhou fields?"

"this……"

Cao Cao explained on behalf of Dong Zhao: "It should be said that it is very large. The fields in Jizhou are all mature fields, especially in the southern part of Jizhou. Water conservancy construction has been very developed. Most of them are middle-class fields and high-production fields. In Bingzhou, except for the areas along the river, most of them are low-production fields without water conservancy irrigation facilities."

"Let me put it this way, when the world was stable, the selling price of low-yield fields was about 500 yuan per mu, medium-yield fields were about 2,000 yuan, and high-yield fields cost more than 4,000 yuan. The emperor divided the land and emphasized the per capita amount of land, which was actually ignored. For example, Jizhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Nanyang and other places were mostly medium-quality and high-quality fields, but..."

Dong Zhao continued: "But these places were not fully developed except for Nanyang. Most of the refugees were placed in Nanyang before. At present, Nanyang has almost been fully arranged. However, Zhang Yan's black bandits were organized and had troops, and they made contributions when they recovered Bingzhou. They were originally from Jizhou, but now they have divided the fields in Bingzhou, and they are inevitably dissatisfied. After all, this is the case with people's hearts. Don't worry about the lack of worries but the unevenness."

"The emperor is in Luoyang now, and Zhang Yan is in Luoyang now. With the emperor's usual kindness, the black mountain bandits will definitely take the opportunity to petition the emperor. The emperor will probably agree with the situation and send the imperial edict to the Shangshutai. Can the lord still find excuses to delay? If there is a mistake in this matter, no one can delay the responsibility."

Guan Ning asked again: "At present, except for Wei County, Jizhou is still under Yuan Shang's name. If Jizhou wants to farm, can't he be robbed in Wei County?"

"The people in Taihang Mountain are more familiar than us. They can go to Jizhou to farm from Henan and from Bingzhou to Taihang. Whoever opposes them can go in? The county magistrates and prefects in Zhongshan, Changshan, Hejian and other places can stop Zhang Yan? At that time, even the credit for regaining Jizhou will be counted on them."
