Three Kingdoms: Economic mastermind, Cao Cao wins!

"Dianwei"

"Lord, what are your orders?"

Seeing Cao Cao and Xun Yu leaving, Li Mo always felt worried in his heart, but he couldn't explain it, so he simply called Dian Wei over.

"Go keep an eye on Cao Cao and don't cause any trouble."

"Lord, do you want to take action?"

"Don't do anything, just keep an eye on it. As long as they can leave, I don't want to get involved. It's all trouble and delays my business."

""Here" after hearing Li Mo's words, Dian Wei retreated directly after accepting the order, while Li Mo went back to continue preparing his own business plan, while Cao Cao and Xun Yu on the other side were already on the main street of Pingqiu. Start wandering around,

"Wen Ruo, why were you so anxious to let me leave just now? This Li Mo should be a great talent. Wouldn't it be nice if he could do things for me?"

"My lord, I know that you are thirsty for talents, but hasn’t your lord discovered that Li Mo’s city is very deep?"

"Oh, what does Wen Ruo mean?"

When Xun Yu said this, Cao Cao was also stunned. In terms of ability value, Cao Cao could see it, but in terms of the city government, Cao Cao really didn't see it too much.

"It’s not like the lord has never been to other counties. What will be the attitude of the other local officials if they see the lord? Even if they want to flatter the lord, they are doing it for their own future, and generally they will not speak so much. Li Mo was just a county magistrate, but he had provided 10,000 shi of food and grass and 200,000 yuan, and the lord had already given it to him before he even asked for it."

"Well, that's right, I'm surprised by this, and the request is just for the businessmen who go out from Pingqiu to be exempted from some taxes. Speaking of which, this request is not a big request at all."

"According to what Wenruo saw, Li Mo might have already seen the predicament that his lord was in, so he took the initiative to spend money and food to solve his urgent needs. Although it was not much, it was enough to express this. manner"

"If that's the case, then why don't you accept my offer? Si Nong's position is already high. Could it be that he still wants a higher position? Even if I want to give it to him, I have to worry about what other officials think."

"Lord, this is the reason why I let you leave first. Do you still remember what Li Mo said? What he said was that he was not qualified for the position of Sinong. He did not say that he was not qualified for other positions. Lord, it is better. Inviting him to another position, and a second visit can also increase the Lord's sincerity, so why not?"

"this......What if he still doesn't agree?"

"I'm afraid my lord has forgotten that you are now an orthodox Yanzhou shepherd. With the promotion of a county magistrate, as long as you promote Li Mo to an important position beside you, and give more rewards, you are afraid that Li Mo will not return to your heart. To serve the Lord?"

"Wen Ruo, you are indeed my wife, we all depend on you, then we......"

"Don't worry, my lord, since we are already here, why not find out what this Li Mo has done in these years? Seeing is worse than hearing a hundred times."

"Well, Yuan Rang, let the soldiers behind find a place to rest first. You can just change into casual clothes and follow us."

"Lord, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, what if?"

"Stupid, if people really wanted to take action, they would do it outside the city. Why wait until we enter the city? If Li Mo really wants to take action now, is there any difference between one person and a hundred people?"

""Here."

Under Cao Cao's order, Xiahou Dun had no choice but to change his clothes and then followed Cao Cao and Xun Yu around the city. On the other side, Li Mo had already begun to entertain another group of people. They all belong to aristocratic families in Pingqiu County, but Li Mo is not like the other time-travelers who always kill the aristocratic families first when they come up. If he really dares to do this, I am afraid that Li Mo will not survive the next day. The aristocratic family can become the largest in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The disadvantages could not be solved so easily, so Li Mo adopted another method of getting along with the world, using a business model to get along with aristocratic families, and cooperated to a large extent. The first was the issue of land annexation. Land annexation in the Eastern Han Dynasty was very serious. Land annexation was often prominent in the later years of a dynasty. It was the result of the development of the feudal economy and a manifestation of the private ownership of land by landlords and the strengthening of the landlord class. This is what Li Mo changed. On the one hand, of course, Li Mo did not want to directly seize the land from these aristocratic families, but used another method, that is, leasing. The aristocratic family annexed a large amount of land, with the purpose of recruiting tenants and then letting the tenants rent themselves. Farming the land for himself, he can harvest most of the income without doing anything. The tenants can barely maintain food and clothing, which is already very good. There are even many people who cannot even maintain food and clothing, and Li Mo is becoming After becoming the county magistrate, he first accumulated a certain amount of wealth by selling some special items, and then invited all the aristocratic families in Pingqiu County to sign contracts with these aristocratic families at a relatively suitable price, and successfully transferred these lands. Renting it to themselves, these aristocratic families were naturally dissatisfied at first. After all, compared with renting to tenants, the price rented to Li Mo was a bit lower, but Li Mo was very smart. Since ancient times, the land has been divided into three, six, and nine grades. existence, but Li Mo chose a full lease method. Although the single price is less, Li Mo actually rents more land, and these lands are empty, so it is not a bad idea to lease them to Li Mo. , with a win-win attitude, Li Mo obtained almost 90% of the land in Pingqiu, and then recruited refugees and sublet the land to ordinary people or refugees again at a price that only aristocratic families could afford. It seems that

Li Mo is in He suffered a loss, but in fact, what Li Mo planted was not ordinary food, but serious sweet potatoes and high-yielding crops such as potatoes. It seemed that Li Mo suffered a loss, but in fact, Li Mo After making a lot of money and signing the contract, even these wealthy families cannot violate the contract at will, especially when Li Mo is still a county magistrate. At the same time,

Li Mo also strongly encourages business and trade. Normally, It is said that during this period, you had to pay a business fee every time you went to a state or even a county. However, there was no tax burden in this area at all in Li Mo, only a transaction tax was levied. That is to say, the tax will only be levied after the transaction is completed in Pingqiu, and no tax will be levied until the transaction is completed.
