There seems to be no problem with Cao Rui's edict engraved in a golden book and hidden in the ancestral temple, at least in terms of strengthening Cao Wei's orthodoxy.

After all, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, also made a white horse oath at the beginning of the founding of the country: if he is not Liu, he will not be king, and if he is not meritorious, he will not be marquis.

No matter whether he is Liu or not the king, no matter whether he emphasizes orthodoxy and righteousness, to put it bluntly, it is all so that his father can be the emperor for a long time.

But compared with the White Horse Oath, the aristocratic families naturally want to praise Cao Rui's wisdom.

Because "If you don't have Liu, you won't be a king; if you don't have merit, you won't be a lord", which invisibly puts a restriction on important ministers, that is, those with the surname Liu will always have the highest position.

But the ancestral temple edicts of the Wei Dynasty were different.

It emphasizes that the branches who succeed the great authority must abide by the orthodoxy, which is also expected by the aristocratic families: orthodoxy is orthodoxy, and those common branches should always succumb to orthodoxy.

What's more important is that in order to support royal orthodoxy, powerful ministers can directly kill those sycophants and traitors.

This kind of behavior can really be compared with King Wu of Zhou asking Duke Zhou to assist the government!

Praise, must praise!

Your Majesty is a wise king!

"My lord, my lord, your majesty's imperial edict on the ancestral temple is really like a wise king!"

After reading the official documents sent from Luoyang and the imperial edict specially copied to Sima Yi, Master Sima's face was full of pride.

Sima Yi hummed and sat on the chair passed over from Nanjun, his expression unchanged.

He looked at Master Sima, who was lowering his head and reading the contents of the edict repeatedly, and said: "Zi Yuan, since your Majesty has the style of a wise king, you should not ridicule Your Majesty too much for your flashy meeting."

The so-called glitz and glamour, refers to the fact that the young talents of Wei State, some who are indulged in literature and philosophy, some are good at theory, and some are far-sighted, debate with each other.

They became party friends, commented on characters, and commented on each other, among which Four Cong, Eight Dare, and Three Henan were the most popular.

Take Xiahou Xuan and other four people as Sicong, and Zhuge Dan and other eight people as Bada.

Liu Fangzixi, the Supervisor of the Zhongshu, Sun Zizimi, and Wei Zhenzilie, the Minister of Civil Affairs, were not as good as this. They regarded their father as the powerful one and gave him the title of Sanyu.

There are fifteen people in total.

Among these people, there are those who come from famous families, those who have made meritorious deeds, those who are powerful, and those who are famous scholars.

They influence the entire young generation of Wei State and lead the trend of this generation.

The younger generation of Wei State are all proud to join them.

Because they are young, they are also passionate and dare to criticize things they don't understand.

Especially regarding current affairs, they think they dare to say things that others dare not say.

So when the twenty-one-year-old Sima Master heard his master's words, he looked quite disapproving.

"Sir, the emperor has made mistakes. The important ministers dare not speak out, but we dare to speak out. The bad habits of the imperial court have caused talented people to disappear among the people. We will comment on it. This is for the sake of the world, and our hearts are magnanimous. Why should we be afraid?"

After hearing this, Sima Yi showed a hint of sarcasm on his face: "Are you really for the world? How does it feel to look up to the young talents of the world?"

Master Sima blushed and said with some embarrassment: "Why do you ridicule the child like this?"

"Because you are also mocking others like this." Sima Yi had an indescribable look in his eyes: "You are still too young, there are some things you don't understand..."

When Master Sima heard this, he felt a little unconvinced.

"Didn't your Excellency once be young? When Emperor Cao...Wu first recruited you, didn't you refuse?"

Sima Yi thought that Cao Cao was born "an eunuch with an ugly legacy" and initially disdained to work for him.

Others don't know this secret, but as the eldest son, Sima Shi, he still knows it.

But when Sima Yi heard this, the look on his face was even weirder: "That's why I said, you haven't experienced some things, so you don't understand. You pack up and return to Luoyang in a few days."

"Sir, why is this?" Master Sima finally came to his senses when he heard this: "Could something happen again?"

It's just that Sima Yi is so cunning and calculating, how can he let Master Sima see any clues?

"It's nothing serious, it's just that your mother misses you and wants you to go back and see her."

He looked at his son, pointed at the edict in his hand, and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty also said that important officials in the imperial court have the right to kill sycophants."

"After all, I am also the auxiliary minister appointed by the late emperor. In addition, last year the Shu captives invaded the border areas and all the armies were defeated. I was the only one who killed Mengda and was evenly matched."

"So even if something happens, there is no need to be afraid."

After saying that, he glanced at his son meaningfully and emphasized: "Remember, you are my son, Sima Yi. Even if something happens, I will still be there."

When Master Sima heard his master's words, he became more and more suspicious.

It's just that the adults don't want to say it clearly, so it's hard for him to ask any more questions.

Just when Sima Division was rushing back to Luoyang from Jingzhou, Feng Yong was also rushing from Shouyang to Daxia County.

The beautiful spring days are perfect for traveling.

Chen Shi had known Feng Yong's plan early and sent the news to the Bald Hair Tribe who had been huddled in Baishi City in advance: Feng Langjun was going to Daxia County in the near future. He wanted to fight the rebels with the Bald Hair Tribe.

Send someone over to discuss.

Three hundred soldiers protected Feng Yong all the way to the west, constantly receiving battle reports from the front along the way.

Daxia County is a large gathering place for rebels. Rebellious Hus want to occupy the city and defend it, but the short walls of Daxia City cannot give them a sense of security.

However, with the help of the engineering battalion accompanying the Han army, the Hu rebels could not hold on for two days.

Listening to the terrifying sound of rocks breaking through the air like thunder, and then seeing rocks falling continuously from the sky.

The rebels in the city did not have the courage to hold on and fled out of the city one after another.

Jufu, Liu Hun, and Chen Shi met victoriously in Daxia County.

At the same time, they also captured more than 30,000 rebels and tribesmen from Daxia County who had no time to escape, including cattle, sheep, horses, and countless tents and rugs.

Feng Yong got the news halfway, and the gloomy mood caused by his baldness suddenly became clearer.

Although Zhuge Lao Yao planned to regulate the labor market for all Han people, Feng Yong knew rationally that this was a good thing.

But emotionally, and stimulated by profits, he hopes that this day will be as late as possible.

After all...huge profits are indeed addictive, aren't they?

In the past few years, Dahan's financial situation has been good, coupled with the pressure of population demand, the arrangement of household registration has become more and more clear.

People in the Shu plains are generally not willing to go to the plantations in Nanzhong.

But for Yuexun County, which has a direct road to Jincheng, it is a good place worth considering.

Once there, you will have farmland, the government will rent cattle, and you will have the opportunity to send your children to school.

Even the taxes were clearly stated. Whenever it was time to pay taxes, there would be people like the village chief leading people around to announce the amount required by the government.

There won't be any rats stealing food like elsewhere.

In addition, the Ghost King was so famous that the Yi people did not dare to cause trouble.

Isn't this a good place?

If you don’t want to go to Yuexun County to farm, you can still go to Hanzhong.

The booming development of workshops in Nanzheng and Nanxiang, Hanzhong, has created a huge demand for labor.

At the same time, the demand for various positions generated around the workshop is becoming increasingly fierce.

In the past, we could not wait to tie the Guizhou head to the land for farming. Now, due to the increase in the number of cattle, improvements in farming tools and farming technology, grain production has continued to increase.

With the rise of new plantations, the addition of labor from various sources, and the plantation owners' instinct to reduce costs, the constraints on Guizhou have begun to loosen.

As the first place to promote the development of handicraft industry, Nanxiang is the most desirable place in Guizhou.

A skilled female weaver is fully capable of supporting a family of five.

Even if the man in the family works as a laborer to move things, he can still make a small living.

Not to mention entering the various departments of the Xinghanhui system.

Just talking about the engineering team dedicated to working for people is enough to eat up the entire labor force that Nanxiang grows every year.

With the Xinghanhui catfish disrupting the situation, the costs for wealthy families to continue to exploit Guizhou are constantly increasing.

In the past, the only option was dependence, but now there is another way out. Coupled with the clean and upright atmosphere of the Han officialdom led by the Han Prime Minister, the Guizhou leaders can finally relax a little.

The advancement of history has forced wealthy families to find ways to find cheaper labor.

Then they discovered that there was no cheaper labor force, but it was already firmly in people's hands.

This person is none other than King Feng Gui, who is ranked only below Zhuge Villager on the blacklist of aristocratic families in central Shu.

The older generation has Zhuge Villager, and the new generation has Feng Guiwang. This is simply disappointing!

But no matter how desperate you are, you still have to live!

So the faces of the aristocratic families were shy and they asked softly: "Brother Ghost King, do you have a plate... ah, no, do you have any labor?"

King Feng Gui is kind by nature, so of course he wants to pull down those who are lagging behind!

Unexpectedly, the brother next to him suddenly shouted: "No! You are late! If you want to buy labor, please add more money!"

So the aristocratic family trembled with tears in their eyes, slowly stretched their hands to their waists, untied their belts, and took out a large amount of money and food with heartache: "Is it enough?"
