毛玠 / Mao Jie

毛玠 / Mao Jie enters the wiki through Hanji 968 as the 陈留 man 曹操 appoints as 治中从事 after absorbing the Qingzhou Yellow Turban surrender. The source gives him the episode’s central “阳谋”: political legitimacy through “奉天子以令不臣” and material depth through farming, stockpiling, and military supply.

The page keeps Mao Jie’s role source-scoped. Hanji 968 presents him as the early strategic formulator who joins legitimacy to logistics; later sources assign different parts of the execution chain to 荀彧’s welcome-the-emperor argument, 董昭 and 钟繇’s route and court work, and 枣祗 plus 任峻’s formal 屯田制 implementation.

Mao Jie’s importance in this source is structural. He does not merely offer a clever line; he gives Cao Cao a way to make people, food, title, and talent attraction reinforce each other. That places him inside 谋士政权架构 before the later adviser-roundup episodes name the broader Cao-side system.
