Cheng Yu smiled and didn't answer, of course he wanted to do this, but he was embarrassed to say it.

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Ping'er is by no means a person who speaks to me for his own selfish interests, if he doesn't give a penny, he can't justify it." ”

He still remembered that the last time Liu Ping came to beg him when he was raising silkworms, he only rewarded him with 100,000 yuan.

As a result, Liu Ping was forced to borrow money from Cao Ang, and also used Mrs. Ding's own money.

Although the money was later doubled, Liu Ping did it after all to share his worries, and the 100,000 yuan he only gave at the beginning seemed a little stingy.

So much so that when Liu Ping handed over tens of thousands of horses of silk to him later, he felt ashamed to take them.

"Most of the money listed in Ping'er's letter is for employing people, so let him be allowed to apportionment labor in Dongguan County, and another five million yuan will be allocated to him."

Now the people of Dongguan County are eating Yanzhou relief anyway, and now it is not the time for spring ploughing, so many people are all idle, and it does not cost Yanzhou a penny to let Liu Ping go to apportionment labor to the people.

In Cao Cao's opinion, since he is supporting the people of this county, why do they need to pay wages for them to work?

It's just that he needs his approval to apportion labor, so he didn't hesitate to delegate power.

As for the five million dollars, it is not a small amount for the overstretched Yanzhou finances.

This was squeezed out when the salaries of more than 10,000 newly recruited soldiers were not settled.

"No!"

Cheng Yu grinned, as soon as Jun opened his mouth, it was five million money, which was indeed distressing, but he didn't dare to object when Jun had spoken.

……

Liu Ping received Cao Cao's order that he could apportion labor at will, and with the five million money shipped from Yanzhou, it was almost enough.

He originally wanted to pay the recruited workers as he did when he raised silkworms in Shanyang County, which was completely regarded as a commercial activity.

However, at this time, Yanzhou's finances are probably really tight, and it is not easy to allocate five million dollars.

What's more, the situation in Dongguan County is different from that of Shanyang County, and the people of Dongguan County are now dependent on Yanzhou to support them, so it is only natural for them to make some efforts.

If you really want to be kind to the people, so that they can eat enough while working hard.

A few days later, a batch of Xiahou Yuan's grain was also transported, which was about enough for the people of Dongguan County for two months.

These grains were originally meant to be distributed to the people, but now that Liu Ping, the county guard, has to take the initiative to take responsibility, Xiahou Yuan naturally wants to do so.

For the sake of this batch of food security, Xiahou Yuan allocated 500 sergeants to protect it from robbing bandits in case of robbery.

It's just that he didn't know that at this time, Zhou Cang, the biggest bandit leader around Yueshan, was living a miserable life.

Zhou Cang was stared at by Tai Shici every day, serving tea and pouring water, beating and scolding, and he almost wanted to die.

How did a bandit leader who was good at himself become a slave?

The key is that he can't run away, he can't beat Tai Shici, his nose and face are swollen when he resists a little, and he often adds new injuries before the old injuries are healed.

So much so that he felt that he was too pitiful, staring at the beam every day, thinking about whether he should untie his trouser belt and commit suicide by hanging the beam.

Isn't this how all miserable people end?

Liu Ping ordered people to hoard all the grain in the military camp under Lejin, so that Yang Xing's small farm yard became his temporary administrative seat for Dongguan County.

So all the officials of the entire Dongguan County rushed over and waited at the gate of the fence courtyard, waiting to meet them.

In this era, the city changed hands from time to time, and the practice of most princes was to keep all the officials except for the highest officials who were replaced by their own people.

After all, the princes did not have so many officials to appoint.

Although these officials of Dongguan County did not understand why the county guard was not in Dongguan City, waiting for them to be filial, they lived here.

But Dongguan County has just been captured, how can they not come to meet their immediate boss?

What's more, they are all eating Yanzhou relief grain, if they don't show up in front of the county guard, how can they receive food?

As a result, the small courtyard of Yangxing has become a veritable political center of Dongguan County, and the barren mountain village of Yueshan is not lively.

All the people peeked out at the door of their courtyard.

These well-dressed members are usually not easy to see, who would have thought that they would gather in Yueshan Village at this time?

At this time, Liu Ping hid in the firewood room and saw no one.

In fact, you don't need to see Liu Ping to guess that these old fritters in the officialdom will inevitably cry poor after meeting each other, and talk about how difficult it is for them to get more food.

Liu Ping was too lazy to listen to their nonsense.

He hid inside and didn't come out, and the officials didn't know the bottom of their hearts, and they didn't dare to go, and in their eyes, those who could enter and leave the small courtyard guarded by the soldiers became fragrant and sweet.

On this day, Yang Xing came out and handed over an official document to the officials.

All the officials looked at the official document, all dumbfounded, and gathered around the gate of the small courtyard to discuss.

It turned out that the official document said that the officials should send 5,000 young men to come and go up the mountain to dig stones.

"This ...... Why are so many people being recruited to dig stones here? ”

"Our Dongguan County lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of mountains, why do you have to run so far if you want to use stones?"

"Although the people now have relief rations, most of them can't eat enough, so how can they have the strength to dig up stones?"

At this time, there was a household Cao Peng Shi Chong Yang Xing said respectfully: "Little brother is invited, I don't know if the prince of the house has ever said, when will you meet me?" ”

The officials of Hu Cao Peng are the officials in charge of the households, sacrifices, and farmers in the county, and they are usually majestic in front of the people.

But now that the prince of the mansion does not show up, and this official document is so inexplicable, they have no bottom in their hearts, so they can only politely inquire about the news to Yang Xing, a flat-headed commoner.

Yang Xing was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, he couldn't tell what official positions these people in gorgeous clothes in front of him were, he only knew that these were official masters.

Although he lived in a county guard at home, he was just an ordinary person, so although the official in front of him was very polite to him, he still knelt down and answered.

"When the prince will summon him, the little one doesn't know."

All the officials came around and said in a loud voice: "Little brother, please get up quickly, please get up quickly." ”

"It's going to make me wait."

None of them could figure out what the county guard had to do with this young man, and how could he afford to eat when he knelt in front of him?

Seeing that Yang Xing really didn't know, Hu Cao Peng pulled him aside, secretly stuffed a piece of gold cake in his hand, and said in a low voice: "If there is any news in the future, I hope to inform him, I am grateful." ”

Before Yang Xing could react, he had already greeted loudly: "Since the government has an order, let's go down and make arrangements." ”

Yang Xing was stunned for a long time with the piece of gold cake, and then wanted to return it to the official, but all the officials had already left in a crowd, and they couldn't find which one it was.

He had to come back to see Liu Ping with the golden cake: "Someone gave the little one, and told him if there was news, you can see ...... it."

Liu Ping smiled, there has always been no shortage of such clever people in the country, and if he buys off Shangguan's attendants, he can naturally figure out Shangguan's thoughts.

"Just when I live in your house, you can take it, Brother Yang."

"The prince lives in a small house, and the small one can't ask for it, how can he collect the house money? And...... This is too much...... "Yang Xing has never owned such a piece of gold cake in his life, and it was given by an official, and it was a little hot to hold.

"Brother Yang, don't mind, these days, when the five thousand young people arrive, I'm going to let you lead them to work? It can also be used as your salary. ”

"Fu Jun is saying...... Let the little one lead five thousand people? Yang Xing was taken aback: "This ...... The small ones aren't that big. ”
