The next day, in the Luoyang Marquis Mansion, Cao Chong walked out of the inner courtyard refreshed, and walked to the lobby of the outer courtyard without stopping.
At this time, in the lobby of the outer courtyard, Zhao Yan and Guo Xiao had been waiting for a long time.
Cao Chong knelt on the wool mat, adjusted his sitting posture, and then took a simple breakfast handed over by a maid.
"Deshui, let's talk about what happened yesterday."
Zhao Yan took the order and said to Cao Chong: "There weren't many things that happened yesterday, mainly two things. ” Cao Chong drank millet porridge and looked at Zhao Yan with his eyes, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
Zhao Yan smiled and continued: "The first thing is that the turmoil caused by the prince yesterday made the family frightened, and even the Zhen family in Hebei, the Fanyang Lu family bowed their heads because of this, and yesterday the children of those families submitted a letter of resignation overnight, and now the fourth camp in Nanying is considered to have no power of the family." ” Cao Chong is still quite satisfied with this result. can achieve this effect, Huan Fan's acting skills are indispensable, and of course, Cao Chong's propaganda organization is also indispensable.
Without Huan Fan's tragic performance, those families would not have felt how serious this matter was, and without the strong publicity ability of Cao Chong's propaganda agency, they would not have known Cao Chong's determination.
The two are indispensable, and together, they can play the role that Zhao Yan presents to Cao Chong now.
Cao Chong was still quite satisfied with this news, and when Cao Chong drank the millet porridge in his hand, Zhao Yan also began to say the second news.
"As for the second thing, it's not much different from yesterday's."
Not much different Cao Chong frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhao Yan also had some puzzlement in his eyes, but the words were also spoken.
"In this matter, it was Jia Xu's resignation, and as it was yesterday, the king did not agree today."
Why did Jia Xu resign?
Cao Chong's heart is also a fog, in Cao Chong's later generations, Jia Xu is an old official, how can there be such a thing as resignation Besides, others may think that Jia Xu is over the age of sixteen and has not many days to live, but Jia Xu himself doesn't know his physical condition With Jia Xu's body and bones that can live for another ten years, it is too hasty to resign at this time Cao Chong was puzzled.
But it's just a puzzle.
Although Jia Xu has some grievances and hatreds with himself, it is not about his own interests now, so there is nothing to say and nothing to pay attention to.
Cao Chong was just afraid that this Jia Xu was going to make some trouble.
After Zhao Yan reported what happened yesterday, Shi Shiran walked out, 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 things arranged in Nanying?"
Guo Xiao smiled and said: "After the people of the four battalions of the southern camp have been arranged, there are nearly three thousand soldiers vacant in the four battalions, and these soldiers can be filled by our people." ” Those soldiers in the fourth battalion of the South Battalion, speaking of which, there are still many private soldiers of the family, and it is impossible for the family to withdraw from these places, and the reason is very simple.
This is all about population, resources, and the meaning of the family, and it is impossible to give up easily.
These private soldiers of the family are the free labor of the family in their spare time, and they can also defend the family in wartime, and when necessary, they can also give the family disciples as the foundation for his achievements.
The family has private soldiers, this is a well-known thing, and Boss Cao naturally knows about it.
On the one hand, this is also Cao Cao's default thing.
Of course, the premise is that there are not too many private soldiers in this family.
The private soldiers of the family are an indispensable part of the family, it is normal, the family business is so large, the population is so large, these family businesses, these people need to be protected, and they need to be served.
Some private soldier slaves are completely understandable.
But when there are too many people, this is not an understandable thing.
Cao Cao has killed many heads in the past few years because of the problem of the family's private soldiers, and I don't know how many families have declined.
There are 3,000 people, more than a dozen or twenty families, and there are several big families, speaking of which, there are a lot of private soldiers of these families.
However, Cao Chong didn't plan to investigate.
Even if you look it up, you probably won't find anything.
Under Boss Cao's crackdown for several years, these families have learned well.
If you go to his house to check, you will find that not only does his family not exceed the standard, but also thinks that his family has too few private soldiers.
The reason for this is, of course, that all the private soldiers have become tenant farmers.
The family owns tenant farmers, which is not a crime.
Of course, in the eyes of Boss Cao and the people of the world, it is not illegal and criminal, but it is a big deal in front of Cao Chong.
Land annexation will inevitably lead to the demise of the dynasty and the change of dynasty.
Only by letting the vast number of peasants control the land can a dynasty prosper for a long time.
This is a lesson learned from China's thousands of years of history.
"Then put those kids in."
Guo Xiao nodded and said to Cao Chong: "No" If you want to turn Nanying into your own Nanying, you must first have your own forces in Nanying.
And these 3,000 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.

Dead soldiers created in batches.
With these dead soldiers, Cao Chong basically mastered the power of the southern camp, and as for the first battalion, it was the object of vigilance.
And it may not be impossible to learn from the Red Party of later generations, and turn some people against it, that is still something that can be done.
After thinking of this, Cao Chong added another sentence.
"After arranging those children in, every month in the future, two hundred people will be drawn from the second, third, and fourth battalions, and they will be transferred to my manor in Yecheng, and then transferred to the Luoyang fiefdom, and the number of people who need to be replenished will be drawn out from the dead in the manor."
Guo Xiao nodded, looking at Guo Xiao's back as he walked down, Cao Chong also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Mastering Nanying is too important for Cao Chong.
Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and while gaining an advantage in the court, you must also have an army.
Otherwise, when the final battle for succession comes, even if you are chosen by Cao Cao, but you have no soldiers in your hands, won't you become a lamb in the hands of others, and let others slaughter Moreover, there are several advantages to arranging the dead soldiers into the South Camp.
One is to let those dead soldiers become the people supported by the imperial court, and Cao Chong also saved a lot of money.
Twelve thousand people is a huge expense, let alone 30,000 Secondly, the 30,000 people who were separated from the southern camp were also a lot of strength for Cao Chong.
Even if these people are not used to fight, they can continue to create wealth for Cao Chong every day.
What a good deal When Cao Chong was sighing, Cao Ba walked in slowly.
