Chapter 548 The Politics of the West

Cao Cao loved Pan Feng very much, but he did not give him any gentle means. Pan Feng came to Luoyang. Cao Cao treated him very kindly, with a small banquet for three days and a big banquet for five days. All kinds of means are changing one by one. A few days later, he sent ten beautiful women to serve Pan Feng. Pan Feng was sent to the inner house to serve her second sister-in-law.

Another day, Cao Cao Cao saw that Pan Feng's body was huge and tall, and the black and gold battle robe he wore was mostly sewn to mend, that is, he personally tasted his body and took a different brocade silk combat robe as a collar. Pan Feng didn't dare to say goodbye, so she accepted it, but she put the new robe on the bottom of her clothes, and the old robe was still covered outside.

Cao Cao came to see Pan Feng one day. When he saw that he was still wearing an old robe, his thin eyes couldn't help squinting, and his heart was unhappy again, but on the surface he laughed.

"Why is Wushuang so thrifty?"

"Someone is not frugal. The old robe was given by the righteous brother. He wore it as if he saw his brother. He didn't dare to forget the old gift of his brother with the new gift of the prime minister, so he wore it on top.

Pan Feng's words are like cutting Cao Cao's heart. Cao Cao's stomach was full of anger, but he still suppressed it and sighed.

"Unparalleled is really a righteous man!"

Pan Feng has always adhered to his heart. Although Cao Cao gives gifts to him frequently and treats him kindly, it is still difficult to shake Pan Feng's loyalty. Cao Cao was very helpless. He could only use time to grind. Maybe he expected Liu Bei to be killed by the pursuers he sent. Pan Feng died, and then thought that he would treat him with the courtesy of the national scholar, and he was willing to serve under his command.

But Cao Cao didn't know that Pan Feng had secretly vowed that once she learned the bad news of Liu Bei, she would follow the underworld.

During this year, Cao Cao took Nanyang and Runan, wiped out the southern giant crocodile Yuan Shu, and then attacked the East China Sea, planned to seize Guangling, and won the land of Xuzhou. The power expanded rapidly. Moreover, Yuan Shu and Liu Bei, two confidants, died in ambush and the other fled. Cao Cao's rear was stable. He immediately retired and began to prepare for a shocking battle with Yuan Shao, a giant in the north.

Cao Cao is like the sky, unstoppable, and successive feats have shocked the world. In Anyi, Hedong, it is quite calm.

In the mansion of General Anyi, Wen Hangui is the general of the horse. According to Hanli, he can expand the mansion to show his prestige. At this point, Zhou Long first asked Wen Han to rebuild his old house, expand several courtyards, and build a music garden, martial arts hall and several study rooms. Because Wen Han's capital chain is quite rich, gambling houses, wine industry, etc. can earn countless huge money every year. In addition, Wen Han cooperates with merchants all over Hedong, and there are many stores in the silk and smelting industries. Although the annual income cannot be compared with the income of the gambling house and the liquor industry, it is also considerable. In addition, the strategy of Tuntian is on track in Bingzhou and Hedong, and countless grains are stored at the time of autumn harvest. In troubled times, rice and grain were valuable. Wenhan stored most of them, and sold them in half of them, and he got a lot of gold and silk every year.

At this point, Wen Han can be said to be the most profitable warlords in today's troubled times. I'm afraid that in a few years, Wen Han's financial resources will reach the level of wealth.

However, Wen Han is not a rich and unkind exploiter. He is well aware of the principle of taking it for the people for civilian use. He built colleges and Wutangs in Bingzhou and Hedong, and vigorously cultivated people from the poor families. At the same time, he also sent more food to the people who were exiled by the war on the border of Hedong and Bingzhou. Therefore, more and more people are flocking to Bingzhou and Hedong. Especially in the past two years, the population of both places has risen sharply, and finally every city is overcrowded.

In order to relieve the pressure of the counties, Wen Han discussed with his adviser Zhong Yu. Zhong Yu is worthy of Wang Zuozhi's talent. He suggested that Wen Hanshi should go west. First, he persuade the merchants under his jurisdiction to rush to the north and Xinping to start business. Anyone who rushes to the order can be exempted for five years, and he can get a considerable amount of money to do the trial business first.

After listening to this, Wen Han was very surprised. He got along with Zhong Yu and immediately acted according to the plan. He also sent Zhong Yu and Wang Lang to persuade merchants in Hedong and Bingzhou. Although these merchants heard such a good and profit-making policy, their reactions were very different. Some merchants saw the war disasters in Yongzhou, and the forces of all parties were complex and unwilling to let go of the present. The prosperous family went to the north and Xinping to start again. Some businessmen found that this was a good time to make a fortune. In addition, they were convinced that Wenhan, a once-hundred-year-old hero, believed that he would be able to win Yongzhou sooner or later. Just like Bingzhou in the past, they would bring stability to all parts of Yongzhou, so they rushed to the north and Xinping one after another and began to jointly revive the business of the two counties.

And Zhong Yu's plan to go west, business revival is only the first step, and the most important second step is just the beginning. The merchants who came from Bingzhou and Hedong have made a lot of money in the past few years, coupled with the funding of Wen Han, so they don't have to be tied up in using the funds. Under Zhang Xiu's lobby, the rich families and businessmen in Bedi and Xinping are willing to cooperate with these merchants who come to invest in different places. After all, there are these merchants in different places. Jin Investment, their hometown will be prosperous in a few years.

As these people expected, with the heavy investment of these merchants in other places, in just three months, the cities of Beida and Xinping were full of merchants from all walks of life, pubs, grain houses, silk workshops, every street and alley can be seen everywhere. However, because of the two counties of Bedi and Xinping, they have been in chaos for a long time, and the people are shy in their pockets, so each business Jia has rarely made money. If it hadn't been for Wen Han's tax exemption and financial support, I'm afraid these merchants would have given up leaving long ago.

However, Zhong Yao, such a peerless virtuous talent, didn't expect such a situation to happen, and soon came up with a strategy to deal with it. The people in the north and Xinping are poor, but the people in the east of Hedong are rich. Under the dedication of Zhong Yu, Wenhan also implemented policies to make the people of Hedong counties, who are willing to go to the north and Xinping, can get the land according to the population of each household. As soon as this policy came out, there was an uproar all over Hedong. It can be seen that since the Han Dynasty opened, most of the land was in the hands of the imperial court and rich families, and it was impossible for ordinary people to get an inch of land. This is different from the land divided by Tuntian. What Tuntian is divided is all the wasteland outside the city, and what Wenhan now divides is the land in the city. The value of the land inside and outside the city cannot be compared at all. In addition, Wen Han's repeated policies did not send a signal to the people of the world. He had absolute confidence to seize Yongzhou.

Once Wenhan succeeds in winning Yongzhou, with the trend of his policy implementation in recent years, he will also promote farmland in Yongzhou. In this way, the population of Yongzhou will definitely soar sharply. At that time, the land value of Yongzhou City will rise rapidly, and the value will be higher and higher in the future. If you can get the land of Yongzhou City in this way, it can be said that it can be blessed for three generations!

At this point, as soon as Wen Han's policy came out, the people in Hedong almost flocked to it, and the whole family flocked to the north and Xinping. Of course, there are also some people who are used to living in Hedong and don't want to leave their hometown and continue to live in Hedong.

With thousands of people from Hedong rushing into Beit and Xinping, the business in the two counties is fast and smooth. In less than half a year, the two counties of Beit and Xinping are the most populous and commercial counties in Yongzhou.

Subsequently, Wen Han issued the same policy in Bingzhou, and the people of Bingzhou are also rushing to go there. However, compared with the people of Hedong, the wealth of the people of Bingzhou can only be said to be more than enough, but some ordinary livelihood consumption can still be borne. Therefore, Wenhan first let the people of Hedong bring the prosperity of the two counties of Beide and Xinping, and then issued a policy to move the people of Bingzhou to the two counties.

Of course, the two counties of Beide and Xinping can develop so rapidly, all of which can be obtained from Wenhan's two benevolent policies. These two benevolent policies can be said to be beneficial to business and the people. However, for Wenhan, in the first three years, in addition to alleviating the population pressure of Hedong and Bingzhou, there is also the prosperity of the two counties under its jurisdiction, Wenhan can almost It is said that there is no income from any benefits, and he has no income from taxes, and the government land is completely divided by these people in Hedong and Bingzhou. However, Wen Han has always been a short-sighted person. As long as the north and Xinping are prosperous, the people in various counties in Yongzhou will naturally flock to come. When the population increases sharply, Wen Han can quickly recruit a large number of new soldiers in the north and Xinping.

And what is more important is that Wen Han can bring up the prosperity of Beidi and Xinping, and his reputation will certainly rise rapidly in the hearts of the people of Yongzhou counties. The people of Yongzhou all want to be under the jurisdiction of Wen Han and welcome the Lord. In this way, in the future, if Wenhan wants to fight in all counties of Yongzhou, he will get twice the result with half the effort!

Wen Han vigorously developed the prosperity of the north and Xinping in Yongzhou, which made the forces of Ma Teng and Han Sui uneasy. In addition, a year ago, Wen Han obeyed the imperial edict and won the position of herdsman of Yongzhou, and became the master of Yongzhou. However, Ma Teng and Han Sui turned a deaf ear to this, and did not send a letter of congratulations. At the same time, Ma Teng sent heavy troops to guard the two counties of Feng Yi and Jingzhao. As for Han Sui, he also sent heavy troops to guard the land of Tongguan, and they were wary of Ma Teng and Wen Han.

Ma Teng and Han Sui did not seem to recognize Wen Han, the herdsman of Yongzhou, and Wen Han did not make any movement, let alone send a letter to ask Ma Teng and Han Sui for the territory they occupied in Yongzhou. On the surface, the three forces are at peace with each other for the time being, but in fact, they secretly have their own ghosts and take precautions.

Moreover, although Ma Teng and Han Sui have had frictions because of Li's incident, the two have a tendency to join hands to fight against Wen Han because Wen Han got the position of Yongzhou shepherd.

However, Wen Han did not seem to be in a hurry to break up with these two people. He raised his troops and trained new recruits in Hedong and Bingzhou counties. Then during this year, his energy was almost devoted to the development of Beati and Xinping.

During this year, Wen Han seemed to be busy, but in fact, it was not the case. Almost all the affairs of Beidi and Xinping were handled by Zhong Yu, and Xilong, Wang Lang and Zhang Xiu each complemented each other. On weekdays, Wen Han only needs to make a decision on the direction of some big decisions.

So, what is Wen Han doing for most of the year?

In the mansion of General Anyi, Wen Han's face was full of soft color, and his eyes were full of happiness and satisfaction. He quietly looked at the white and fat baby in his wife Cai Yan's arms, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up again. The baby seemed to feel Wen Han's eyes and giggled, which was very cute.

This white and fat Peng's baby is Wen Han's son, Wen Shun. Wen Han still remembers very clearly the scene of the day his son was born.

A year ago, Anyi City suddenly had red clouds all over the sky. At that time, it was day, but because of the dense red clouds and dark red colors in the city, the people in the city were not shocked.

At that time, Wen Han was just rushing back to Anyi. Under the gate, he heard Zhou Long say in a hurry that Cai Yan was about to give birth. Wen Han was so anxious that his face changed greatly. Without saying a word, he rushed to the mansion in the city.

Wen Han arrived quickly. Outside the dormitory of him and Cai Yan in the house, it was already overcrowded. Horse trapers, Zuo Ci, Tong Yuan, Zhong Yao and others were waiting anxiously outside the door. Wen Han hurried to come, followed by Guan Yu, Xu Huang and Zhou Long.

"You stinky boy, you only care about fighting all day long!! Yan'er will be born. Why did you come back at this time!!"

As soon as the horse tame man saw Wen Han, he opened his mouth and scolded.
