Three Kingdoms: Becoming Cao Cao's Chief Adviser at the Start

Chapter 117 The First Autumn Harvest, Like Cao Yang Who Lives in a Saint

in Suga Prefecture.

Cao Cao's expression was a little strange, and most of the Yellow Turbans were unwilling to surrender.

Only about 80,000 people surrendered.

And the Yellow Turbans should have thought of this too.

Among the 80,000 troops, there are old soldiers up to the age of sixty, and there are children who are only about fourteen years old.

All kinds of Yellow Turbans are uneven.

The most troublesome thing for Cao Cao was that most of the Yellow Turbans were unwilling to surrender, and they had no clue after discussing with Guo Jia.

Now we can only wait for Cao Yang to return before we can discuss the matter of recruiting and surrendering the Yellow Turbans.

Because Cao Yang went to Linzi to find Zhang Ning very smoothly, he quickly turned back.

That afternoon, Cao Yang returned with 20,000 light riders.

Cao Cao and the others went to meet them, but when they saw a woman walking down from Cao Yang's carriage.

Everyone's expressions became strange, and they all whispered to the side.

"Is this a military commander kidnapped to be a concubine?"

"I don't know, it's probably so pretty."

.........99

Afterwards, Cao Yang got out of the carriage. Looking at the strange expressions of everyone, Cao Yang didn't know what was going on.

But it is to introduce to you.

"My lord, this woman is the saint of the Yellow Turbans, and the Yellow Turbans all over the world obey her orders."

Originally, everyone was still wondering, this is the woman who Cao Yang captured to be his concubine.

Hearing Cao Yang's introduction, everyone was shocked.

This woman turned out to be the Holy Maiden of the Yellow Turban!

Yellow Turbans all over the world, listen to their orders!

All the millions of yellow scarves obeyed a woman's "Zero Twenty" words.

It was because of the woman's words that attracted millions of Yellow Turbans to gather in Qingzhou?

How lofty is the status of this saint among the Yellow Turbans?

Everyone looked astonished.

Cao Cao thought of something.

Zhang Ning was so influential that he could never let him go.

"Master, let's go in and discuss.

As for the 'captive' Zhang Ning, he took the initiative to follow behind Cao Yang.

And in the eyes of everyone, there was a meaningful smile.

Cao Yang walked in with Zhang Ning's follower, Cao Cao.

However, after entering, Cao Cao and Cao Yang placed Zhang Ning in a room.

Cao Cao negotiated with Cao Yang alone.

"Today, more than half of the prisoners we have taken are unwilling to surrender."

Cao Cao glanced at the room that closed Zhang Ning,

"Can she fix it?"

Hearing this, Cao Yang frowned slightly and shook his head.

"I'm afraid she won't be willing, I'm afraid the lord will persecute it.

"Furthermore, how could such a demon girl let her leave.

For this remark, Cao Cao deeply agreed.

"How to force her?"

Cao Yang said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"She seems to care about the lives of those Yellow Turbans.

"She will certainly plead with the lord to let the Yellow Turbans go."

As long as the lord shows that he doesn't care about the Yellow Turbans, and shows the performance of killing those Yellow Turbans, she will definitely compromise when she puts forward conditions!"

Hearing Cao Yang's words, Cao Cao thought of something and showed a smile.

This saint, with such a beautiful appearance, might as well be given to the military advisor as a concubine, so that not only will she retain the saintess of the Yellow Turbans, but she will also be able to recruit the Yellow Turbans.

He nodded and smiled.

"I understand, leave the strategist to me. 35

Cao Yang also nodded slightly and said, "In this case, Cao Yang will retire first.

Then Cao Cao walked into the room alone.

I saw that Zhang Ning was sitting there calmly.

However, Cao Cao didn't pay any attention and said with a light smile.

"Zhang Ning, you should know that I have 400,000 prisoners of the Yellow Turbans under my command."

For Zhang Ning, Cao Cao even called him by his first name, and his words were not polite at all.

"As long as you help me recruit the 400,000 Yellow Turbans, I will let you leave on your own. 35

Zhang Ning glanced at Cao Cao with a faint smile, not showing any signs of compromise.

"With so many elite soldiers under Duke Cao, do you still care about the old and weak soldiers of my Yellow Turban Army? 35

"Let them go.

Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed.

"Okay, very good, the saint's words do make sense. 99

"I really can't use these old, weak and remnant soldiers. Since this is the case, I will kill all the Yellow Turbans who will not surrender."

As soon as these words came out, even Zhang Ning's calm expression changed instantly.

"No!"

Looking at Zhang Ning's performance, it was as expected by Cao Yang.

Cao Cao couldn't help but secretly admire him.

"Oh, what do you think of the Virgin? 55

There was a hint of prayer in Zhang Ning's delicate face.

"As long as Duke Cao can treat those Yellow Turbans kindly, I am willing to physically recruit those Yellow Turbans."

Cao Cao showed a slight smile, but did not speak.

On the other hand, Zhang Ning showed a hint of hesitation and bit his lip.

"As long as Duke Cao agrees, I am willing to marry Duke Cao's eldest son!"

"It's a word!"

Cao Cao said immediately.

And the eldest son, isn't it Cao Yang.

Now Cao Yang's identity, he has long been aware of.

Then Cao Cao told the matter to Cao Yang.

Cao Yang was stunned when Zhang Ning was about to marry him.

However, he has always refused to be beautiful, and naturally he did not refuse, so he has another fiancee.

At the same time, with the assistance of Zhang Ning, the recruitment and surrender of the 400,000 Yellow Turbans went very smoothly.

What Cao Yang admired even more was that the Yellow Turbans from all over Qingzhou came one after another, and more than 600,000 people also came to surrender.

And Cao Yang will naturally not live up to Zhang Ning's condition and treat the Yellow Turbans well.

Among the millions of Yellow Turbans, 100,000 elites were selected for training and named Qingzhou Army.

As for the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans who were confiscated as soldiers, they devoted themselves to agricultural production and supplied supplies to the rear.

Cao Yang specially ordered people to reclaim the land for him, and developed a field system in Qingzhou, and gave him cattle, curved ploughs and other agricultural tools.

And they will be provided with food until the crops they have cultivated are harvested.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Ning also breathed a sigh of relief.

The conditions offered by Cao Yang were much better than what she had in mind.

Zhang Ning did not expect to even provide them with cattle and food.

Cao Yang did not panic at all about feeding the 700,000 people, and the autumn harvest will be soon.

It is estimated that the granaries around Chenliuyingchuan will explode.

Cao Yang showed a smile, and he could not help occupying Qingzhou with Yuan Shao's hand.

Moreover, the 100,000 Qingzhou Army can also become elites after training.

At the same time, the hundreds of thousands of iron weapons captured during the battle were all sent to the Chenliu Steelworks, where they were all recast into fine weapons and armor!

As a result, the 200,000 elites in Yanzhou and Qingzhou are all fully armored!

Just after the integration of the Qingzhou Army was completed, it ushered in a bumper harvest.

Chenliu and the surrounding area of ​​Yingchuan are the most important grain harvesting counties!

At the moment around Xudu, there is a golden wave of wheat at a glance.

Countless people began to harvest food, and because of the perfection of the field system, countless people migrated to the territory under Cao Cao's command.

At the same time, it has taken in countless refugees, and the surrounding area of ​​Yingchuan is full of endless golden fields.

There is no end in sight!

It is not only the reason of the farmland system, but also the emergence of the curved plough, which has led to the rapid improvement of the people's agricultural productivity.

"My lord, how much do you think this harvest can be harvested?

At this time, Cao Yang and Cao Cao were walking to the fields to make a private visit to investigate the farming situation of the people.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and glanced at the endless field.

"My granaries in the ten counties of these two states are full!"

He has already overestimated, this time the grain harvest.

Cao Yang smiled slightly.

"Then let me guess, the granaries in the ten counties of the two states are not only full but also have a lot of grain left.

"That's why I think my lord, we can build a few more granaries."

"At that time, the land holding system in Qingzhou will be completely perfected, and when the surrounding population is attracted, the land of Qingzhou will not need to supply food from our side.

Looking at Cao Yang's guess, Cao Cao couldn't help being surprised. Unexpectedly, the military division was even bigger than himself, and even built a few more granaries.

The two chatted while walking, looking at the smiling people, Cao Cao couldn't help but become interested.

Cao Yang naturally understood what Cao Cao meant and went to ask.

"I don't know how old man's harvest is this year?

The farmer said with a smile.

"Hahaha, big harvest, big harvest!"

"Thanks to this, Cao Gong is virtuous and caring for the people! 35

"Not only did the soldiers go to great lengths to help us mobilize the ditches to irrigate the crops, but they also gave me cattle to farm. Even this land was reclaimed by the soldier."

The more the farmer spoke, the more excited he became, the redder his face became, with this smile on his face.

"If you are farming, you will know, but I don't understand it even when I tell you!"

Cao Cao and Cao Yang looked at each other with a smile.

Then Cao Yang continued to ask.

"And this curved plough, what do you think?"

Originally there was nothing.

As soon as he said the curved plough, the farmer showed a hint of pride.

"Hahaha, I think you don't understand anything, you must be from other places."

Cao Yang nodded.

The farmer said brightly.

"You must know that this curved plough is the exclusive farming tool of our Duke Cao.

"Outlanders, I don't even want to. 35

The farmer is even more proud.

"Originally, the straight-axle plough we used was not flexible enough to turn around when ploughing the land, and it was laborious to lift the soil.

"And this curved plough can not only adjust the depth of the arable land, but can even break the soil!

"I am afraid that the sage who invented this curved plough is alive!"

"After using this curved plough, my farmland has increased by several mu, and the harvest is several times more than before! 35

Watching this farmer speak with rapturous eyebrows, other farmers also come to join in the fun.

Countless people are full of praise for the song Yuanli.

"I never thought that I would have such a high harvest this year."

"If it goes on like this, haha, I can even eat meat. 35

"Don't say it, foreigner, come to us and I'll take you to farm!

"Looking at this endless farmland, I'll take you to farm and make a fortune!

After listening to these farmers' words, Cao Cao couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

Only those who have Xi Zhicai manage the internal affairs, and some details of the farmland system are more perfect.

Now, on the occasion of a bumper harvest, after seeing the harvest, the people's hearts skyrocketed even more, and countless people were full of praise for Cao Cao.

Moreover, because of the farmland system, many people need to contact the soldiers. At the request of Xi Zhicai, these soldiers are even more patient with the people.

Originally, they showed good feelings towards the common people who should be feared by soldiers and soldiers, and they all let their young people go to join the army.

And joining the army not only has military pay, but also tax that can be reduced by 10%.

This has greatly encouraged countless people to come to join the army.

The next day...

In just one day, the granaries around Yingchuan and Chenliu were full!

Countless grains and forages have been transported towards today's Qingzhou.

Originally, Qingzhou should not have much population after a big battle.

But as soon as 5.4 heard that food was provided, countless refugees rushed towards Qingzhou.

Of course, these grains are not provided for nothing.

Those who have received these food aids will receive an extra 20% tax on the first harvest of food.

This is definitely a lucrative business.

Countless people came to Qingzhou to farm!

Under the perfect farmland system, coupled with the existence of the curved plough.

The level of territorial agriculture under Cao Cao has been pushed to the peak!

Every place is promoting the field system, and at the same time large-scale manufacturing of curved ploughs.

It attracted other lords in neighboring counties to follow the tutelary system.

But they not only did not have Cao Cao's current financial resources, but also did not have the most complete system of slaughtering fields.

Most importantly, they have no way to imitate the curved plough!

Although the structure of the curved plough is not particularly complicated, when Cao Yang designed the drawings, eleven parts were handed over to eleven craftsmen to make separately.

The assembly is even more personally assembled by the cronies.

Even if you ask the craftsmen who make these parts, it is estimated that they will not make a curved plough, let alone let others copy it.

But just like this, the agriculture of the surrounding princes has also been improved to some extent.

But without the curved plough, it was doomed that the territory under Cao Cao's command was the most attractive place for the population.

Others simply cannot follow suit.

At least, today's Cao Cao will not worry about food for the time being, and at the same time the excess food and grass can even be used to make distilled wine for profit.

At the same time, these benefits are reinvested in the steelmaking plant, and there is no need to worry about ordnance at all.

This time the big harvest made Cao Cao develop rapidly.
