What else can it be?

What nature can Cao Hong have?

Isn't this a well-known thing?

Cao Cao took a deep breath.

"Greed, Zi Lian is greedy, Zi Lian likes money, and I like it so much that I feel it is incredible. I don't understand why Zi Lian wants so much money and spends very little money. Not to mention Cheng Gong, no one in the Cao family can understand this behavior."

Cheng Yu nodded.

"This is true. Cao Zilian's greed is rare in the world. I have never seen such a greedy person anyway. Why? Cao Shoushou, do you want to use this to excuse him?"

Cao Cao nodded.

"A person with no desires and no desires is the most scheming person. He does not love money, women, food and exquisite clothes, wine and music, and loves nothing is the hero with deep thoughts. Such a person is the most terrifying, and Zi Lian is not such a person."

What Cao Cao said makes sense, and Cheng Yu has to agree.

"You are right, Cao Zilian is indeed not such a person."

"Yes, even if that's the case, Zi Lian will never be ill-involved, and he will not rebel."

"Even if he doesn't, can't the people around him?"

Cheng Yu sighed: "Shoushou Cao, you still haven't figured it out. The most critical part of this matter is not whether Cao Zilian rebelled or not. Whether he wants to rebel or not, this matter will not end so simply."

"I know, so I come to find Mr. Cheng, hoping that Mr. Cheng can explain to His Majesty on my behalf."

Cao Cao spoke slowly, "If Zi Lian can be safe and sound, I will definitely let Zi Lian return all the land except the ancestral property of Luoyang and Yuzhou to the government, and never leave an inch of it privately."

Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Cao with a little surprise.

"Let's not talk about this thing being weird. Cao Shoufu, can you make the decision for Cao Zilian? You have already separated and are not part of the same branch. It is related to property. Can you make the decision for him?"

"able!"

Cao Cao nodded: "As long as Mr. Cheng can inform Your Majesty of this, I can ask Zi Lian to obediently return the land to the government, and I will never occupy an inch of the official land again! Zi Lian will never do such a thing again."

Cheng Yu pursed his lips and hesitated for a while.

"I will tell Your Majesty about this matter, and there will be no concealment."

"Thank you."

"Also, Cao Shoushou, you should make some psychological preparations in advance if you have something."

Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "There are a large number of private soldiers and complete sets of weapons in Cao Zilian's manor, which is a fact that has been found.

Once the local investigation is implemented, a large amount of weapons will be collected from his manor. I can't predict what will happen at that time. Anyway, Your Majesty will definitely know."

Cao Cao's expression changed drastically.

"really?"

"really."

“…”

Cao Cao took a deep breath, stood up and bowed to Cheng Yu: "Mr. Cheng is so kind and great, Cao cannot repay you, so he must keep it in mind!"

After saying that, he raised his head.

"Mr. Cheng, can you allow me to meet Zi Lian?"

"Can."

Cheng Yu nodded slowly.

Afterwards, Cheng Yu took Cao Cao to see Cao Hong, took him to the house where Cao Hong was under house arrest, and said, "It won't be long. According to the rules, it will only take two incense sticks. Try to implement the matter as much as possible and don't make it difficult for me to do it."

"Thank you."

Cao Cao bows again.

Cheng Yu nodded, turned around and left here, and headed to the palace.

The monk guarding Cao Hong opened the door and signaled Cao Cao to go in. Cao Cao nodded and stepped into Cao Hong's house arrest.

The environment in which Cao Hong was under house arrest was OK, it was not dirty, clean and tidy, and although it was simple, it was not very difficult to live.

Cao Hong was confiscated all his weapons and gorgeous clothes, leaving only a single dress of daily clothes, looking flustered and not in good spirits.

When Cao Hong saw Cao Cao coming, he was stunned at that time, and then tears fell down.

"Brother! Brother, you are here to save me, are you? Can I go out?"

Cao Hong rushed up all of a sudden, while Cao Cao looked fierce and kicked Cao Hong, staggering to the ground.

"Brother! Why are you kicking me?"

Cao Hong shouted loudly.

He has a thick skin and a thick flesh, so it doesn't hurt if he kicks it, mainly because he is confused.

"What am I kicking you? I kicking you with greed! I kick you so hard for money! I'm just trying to make myself so hard that I don't know what mistake I've made! Do you want to die?"

Cao Cao roared loudly, frightening Cao Hong.

"Brother, I..."

"What are you? Do you know your sins? Do you know why you were caught?"

"I just don't know! Brother! I just don't know why I was arrested!"

Cao Hong hugged his head and looked panicked: "I didn't make any mistakes! Your Majesty wants to clear the land, I accept it. Your Majesty wants my caravan, and I accept it too. I give everything, what else do you want me? What else do I want?"

"You're stupid!"

Cao Cao said furiously: "Why does Your Majesty want to clear the land? Why do the powerful rebel? Land! Land! Land!"

In order to show importance, Cao Cao talked about the land three times in a row.

Land is the root of all productivity and the most important foundation of productivity before the industrial age. Without land, there will be no civilization, no country, and nothing.

Guo Peng attaches great importance to agricultural production and attaches great importance to it. He cared about agricultural production is something that many people cannot imagine.

For example, Cao Hong couldn't imagine it.

"So what about the land! Didn't I ask him to pay taxes for him? What else do you want!"

Cao Hong felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke, and he wiped his tears.

"How much land do you have? You say it yourself! How many acres?"

"Twenty-three thousand acres, so what! Isn't it just 230,000 acres!"

"Isn't it just 230,000 acres?"

Cao Pi laughed angry and said, "You will die sooner or later on your character, I will tell you! It's only these 230,000 acres, and the emperor can take your life! Do you believe it if you want your life?"

"Take my life?"

Cao Hong widened his eyes: "What law did I break? What sin do I have? Why did he take my life? Why?"

"He is the emperor! He is the emperor! He is the emperor! He keeps the heavenly constitution in his mouth and follows the law! He says that if you want to die, you will die, and you will not be able to survive! This is the emperor! The emperor!"

Cao Cao roared, "And what are there in your manor? Ah? Ten thousand hidden households, ten thousand households! Ten thousand households are more than ten thousand households, right? At least sixty thousand people! More than ten thousand men are strong, what are you going to do? Will you rebel?!"

Cao Hong was so scared that he stood up all of a sudden.

"What are you going to do? Don't slander me! I have more than 200,000 acres of land, so many people must have to cultivate it? Otherwise, isn't it just wasteland? Do you want me to let those land grow grass?"

"The emperor doesn't think so! The emperor will only think that your ten thousand strong labor is ten thousand troops! It's not about whether you want it or not, but whether you can!"

Cao Cao pointed at Cao Hong: "Tell me honestly, do you know the matter of privately hiding weapons in your manor? Did you do you dominate?"

Cao Hong was stunned.

"Arms? Then...those are all spoils! It is my disciple who cleaned up the spoils after the powerful! Your Majesty hates the powerful, so I will eradicate the powerful. Isn't this what Your Majesty wants to see? What's wrong with me!"

Cao Cao became even more angry.

"I know you still have private arms? What did Your Majesty say? No private arms are allowed! No! After the official camp of salt and iron, private arms are a death sentence! Death crime! How many powerful people did not rebel, but were killed because of the search for weapons? Do you want to drag the entire Cao family to death?"

Cao Hong opened his mouth and was quiet for a long time.

"I am a relative of the Cao family, so it should be a little different, right? Our Cao family is the queen, and the current crown prince has the blood of the Cao family. How could I rebel? I kept that weapon to prevent thieves and thieves. I can't have a knife, right?"
