    As time goes by, basically every day means that the economy of the Wei Empire begins to decline on a new slope. Smuggling has not been completely banned, which means that the amount of smuggled goods will expand sharply, even more than the goods declared at customs.  However, behind the smuggled goods, what is involved is the interests of the aristocratic families in the territory. To put it harshly, his three aunts, six wives, and even his brothers are all involved What makes Cao Cao most speechless is that his son Cao Pi is also involved.  Born in itof course it was led to bad things by Cao Hong.  Looking at these guys poaching themselves so viciously, Cao Cao really got so angry.  Even so, he couldn't execute Thunder's Fury immediately. What this thing emphasizes is the concept of suddenness and one-hit success. If the target cannot be killed in the first blow, it will be more difficult to clean up.  In desperation, Cao Cao could only meet Jiang Wan secretly once.  Jiang Wan is one of the few people under his command who can be honest and self-disciplined. It is not that he is so honest that he despises business. The Jiang family behind him actually does business, but his business is conducted in accordance with the laws of the Wei Kingdom. Every item of goods is  They all pay business tax, so they are rarely laughed at by other businesses.  During this period, perhaps everyone knew that this guy was doing everything possible to prevent smuggling, so whether businessmen or colleagues, they were avoiding contact with him intentionally or unintentionally. Even the Jiang family caravan suffered a certain degree of blow, if not  Cao Cao secretly supported it, but he was afraid that the camp would no longer be able to survive.  "Gong Yan, it's not easy for you either." Arriving at Jiang Wan's residence, Cao Cao couldn't help but lament that loyal ministers are rare when he saw that the house and furnishings were at least ten times worse than those of other officials of the same position.  "As an official of the Wei Kingdom, I naturally put the interests of the Wei Empire first. In fact, everyone should understand the principle of 'how can the eggs be intact when the nest is overturned'? Don't they know that if the Wei Empire  If the country is destroyed, how should they live with themselves? You know, Liu Ming hates the family's monopoly on culture and political power." Jiang Wan shook his head and whispered.  It can be heard that he did not go north to join Liu Ming, largely because the family behind him had to stand firmly in the interests of the Wei Kingdom for family purposes, so that the Wei Empire could last forever, so that they  Only then can the family's interests be stabilized.  Cao Cao also knows this, but his rule also requires the help of aristocratic families to a large extent, and if there are more families like Jiang Wan, then he can feel more at ease.  "Let's not talk about this for now. I plan to get rid of these smugglers with lightning power, and at the same time, I will restrict the import of goods from the north to our south. Gongyan, your research on economics is deeper than many of us. I didn't know you had any  How can we make this operation a sure hit?" Cao Cao asked modestly.  "I don't dare to say that I have any good ideas. I can only share my humble opinion." Cao Cao's attitude clearly meant that he wanted to ask for advice. No matter how courageous Jiang Wan was, he would not dare to say that he had the ability to advise Cao Cao, so  A little more modestly.  "But it doesn't matter. There are only you and me here at this moment. What comes out of your mouth and into my ears is no one else." Cao Cao indicated that he could speak freely, and pointed out that at this moment, there is no distinction between the monarch and his ministers.  Jiang Wan was a little moved, so he explained in detail his views on the economy, especially the northern economic issues that he had learned a lot from. Cao Cao did not mean to disturb him at all. At most, he occasionally asked one or two questions that he did not understand. Jiang Wan  Wan was also happy to answer.  When the two sides didn't understand each other, they rarely discussed it with each other. This made Jiang Wan feel like he was back in school when he was a student. Cao Cao was not a king, but his classmate.  Unknowingly, the night passed, and Cao Cao secretly returned to the palace. Today was not the day to go to court. After talking all night, Jiang Wan was not in a state of iron. He simply had breakfast, took a bath and rested.  Three days later, 5,000 elite troops from the Jiangdong Navy were selected. These 5,000 people were secretly taken to Dongting Lake for drill rehearsals. It was said that they had important missions to hand over. After an informed person revealed, it seems that Cao Cao planned to use these 5,000 elite troops to carry out drills and rehearsals.  Form a new team based on thousands of people.  As for what kind of team to form, the officers don't mind. As long as they can have the command of this team, it will be no problem. As long as they are officers, who doesn't want to have thousands more people under their command? Besides, it looks like a team.  Elite ace, which makes them want to have their command even more.  However, the command of this army finally fell into the hands of Cao Ang. This is the current crown prince. When it comes to distance, no one can compare with him. Perhaps many people began to doubt whether Cao Cao planned to  The prince was slowly raised up.  Thinking about it, it is possible that Cao Cao is not young anymore.?You may die from a serious illness at any time. If the prince is useless, then there will be a real problem. If nothing else, the prince's control of the army will be in great danger.  Cao Ang, who accepted the mission, stayed with the army for more than a month. He ate, drank, and had sex inside the team, fully mingling with the officers and soldiers. He used his ability and affinity to tell everyone that he could still do it.  Very good at controlling an army.  A month later, the Wei Empire began to reach its limit. If thunderous measures were not used, the only outcome would be that within half a month, the Wei Empire would go bankrupt, all construction would be interrupted, and all officials would be unable to obtain  Salary, and even no money to mobilize the army to start a war Of course, it doesn't go that far, just talking about local riots, I'm afraid there is no way to mobilize soldiers to suppress them.  At this moment, this mysterious team finally revealed its ferocious face.  Their name is the Maritime Police Force Why is it called the Maritime Police? This is because there is such a police force under Liu Ming. Even if the word "sea" is added, Jiang Wan feels that the functions of the maritime police and the police are similar.  .  Maintaining order at sea and catching smuggling boats is exactly what the maritime police do.  Cao Ang is the direct heir of the Wei Empire, which means that he must take the interests of the Wei Empire as his own responsibility. In other words, in the face of this interest, all personal emotions must be put aside.  Considering this aspect, he is the best commander and leader of this army.  The maritime police began to take action, and on the same day, they captured and arrested more than 3,000 smugglers in various places. It is evident that smuggling is so rampant. All goods were seized and confiscated, and all were sold at 80% of the lowest price, and all the money was paid.  After entering the treasury, the treasury has money and can finally suppress some public security issues.  ¡°These days, it¡¯s not just people from the north who are smuggled, many people from the south are also smuggling. Therefore, after the Coast Guard appeared, these wealthy families moved around and begged each other, but before they had time to jointly submit a letter, Cao Cao launched his second move.  It is not true to say that it is the second move, but it is actually the follow-up to the first move.  To put it bluntly, it is very simple, that is, the promulgation of the import restriction policy. In this policy, all goods are restricted from import. The import quota is calculated by Jiang Wan, a group of people who are good at economics, and then the approximate estimate for this year is calculated.  How many such goods need to be imported.  At the same time, a series of subsidies will be provided to the mainland's industrial and commercial trade, focusing on supporting various livelihood industries. At the same time, we will pay close attention to quality and output, and promote the development of science and technology and technological reform.  Quote the patent law, set up patent bonuses, and establish a research institute to specialize in agricultural and industrial techniques.  Time has to prove the usefulness of the following policies. However, the promulgation of the first two policies directly cost the lives of many aristocratic families.  They had just enjoyed the pleasure of smuggling, but now they have cut off their long stretched claws. This pain is not something that ordinary people can bear, not even aristocratic families can bear it. The most important thing is that since the import of goods is restricted and prohibited  Being smuggled also means that they can only watch the prices of these goods continue to increase, but they are unable to eat them.  It was certain that they would jointly submit a petition. Cao Cao only answered one sentence: "Are all the petitioners suspected of smuggling? In other words, what is smuggling in our country's laws?" Jiang Wan stood up directly at that time, Gao  He shouted: "You must be killed according to the law." Cao Cao nodded, and then asked: "Our country supports industry and commerce, and the wealthy families will have no money to make. If my guess is correct, I should make more than before.  "A lot." Jiang Wan replied very definitely: "Yes, if you can focus on the right path, the profits you make will not be much less than before, or even much more. After all, illegal gains are not visible to the public.  , and now that you have so much money in front of you, why are you still complaining? " When the two of them sing and harmonize, they are completely performing a double act. If you can't see it, there is nothing to say.  So, everyone decisively shut their mouths.
