"I renamed the Fengting Pavilion in Xu County to Pingling Pavilion, and made it Liu Qing's food town, as for the people under its rule, it will be under Liu Qing's own jurisdiction."

As soon as Liu Xie's words came out, the ministers of the DPRK and China immediately whispered.

The Han Dynasty was administratively divided, and the parallel system of counties and states was implemented, and the counties were the areas directly under the imperial court, and the country was the feudal state, which was nominally owned by the monarch of the country.

However, in order to prevent the monarch's power from being too great and plotting against him, the imperial court will send ministers from within the court to manage the feudal state on his behalf.

In this way, the monarch has only the right to eat and drink under his rule, and has no jurisdiction.

This is the case with the feudal state, and even more so with the various candidates, which can only ensure that the taxes of the people in the fiefdom belong to you, and it has nothing to do with you how the people govern.

If today's son gives Liu Ping a pavilion of land, this is an extremely generous reward, after all, there is only one county in the hands of the Son of Heaven at this time.

More importantly, the Son of Heaven let Liu Ping manage the people of the feudal province by himself, which was even more of a great trust.

"Minister, thank Your Majesty for your favor," Liu Ping hurriedly bowed down to thank him, and his heart was happy.

You must know that the vast majority of the princes today only have names and no fiefdoms.

Although the land of this pavilion given by the Son of Heaven is not large, it belongs to him even the land and the people.

It's just that he doesn't know where his fief is, whether the land is barren or not, and how many people there are......

……

After seeing the Son of Heaven, the four generals went to see Cao Cao again.

Since Cao Cao was pretending to be sick, he naturally had to pretend to be a little fuller, so he did not participate in the welcoming ceremony.

When they arrived at Sikong Mansion, they saw that the gate was closed.

However, the guards who had blocked the door from letting anyone in, when they saw the four of them, quickly nodded and opened the door.

Cao Sikong's son, son-in-law, and two younger brothers arrived, and they naturally didn't need to communicate with each other, so they hurriedly let them go.

Cao Cao was dressed in civilian clothes, and was practicing the "Five Fowl Opera" in the courtyard, and when he saw them, he immediately stopped, took a cloth towel from the maid next to him, and said to them with a smile: "It is my warrior who has triumphed." ”

"I'm fortunate to live up to my mission!" The four of them hugged their fists in unison.

At this time, they had already transported back the money and grain that had been intercepted from Yuan Shu.

The jade seal can be handed over to the Son of Heaven, but the money and grain harvested are Cao's.

Fifty million yuan is not a small amount for the Cao family.

"Okay, good," Cao Cao said three good words in a row, wiping the sweat on his forehead, "This battle is done in one battle, solving the trouble in the old man's heart, and collecting all the land of the two Huai, and seizing so much money and grain, okay!"

You've done a great job. ”

Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan glanced at each other, and then said: "The reason why this southern expedition is invincible is because Ping'er is strategizing, and Ang'er's command is determined, and I can't wait for a little bit of effort, and I don't dare to be greedy." ”

Although the two of them also fought a lot of battles in this battle, they were no different from the battles they had participated in before.

After coming back, one got the official position of General Pingnan and the other got the official position of General Annan, which was indeed stained with Liu Ping's light.

You must know that when it comes to the battles he has participated in, Xiahoudun has fought more, but at this time he is just a miscellaneous general of Fenwu.

It's no wonder that Xiahoudun didn't follow Liu Ping to fight for the Son of Heaven, nor did he fight this kind of battle to defeat a strong enemy with an absolute disadvantage.

"I naturally know that this battle is all planned by Ping'er, and the contribution is indispensable," Cao Cao smiled and said to Cao Chun: "But you don't have to be too humble, no matter how thoughtful Ping'er's plan is, you need to wait to implement it." ”

He paused, and then said to Liu Ping: "This time it is Ping'er who is turning the tide, and I am very relieved."

However, I have nothing to reward you, and if I reward too much, your eldest brother will not be rewarded in the future......"

When Xiahou Yuan and Cao Chun heard this, they looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Cao Cao has not clarified the issue of heir before, but the sentence just now has already verbally promised Cao Ang the position of the son.

Otherwise, how could it be Cao Ang's turn to reward?

In fact, after this battle, Cao Ang made outstanding achievements and became famous in the world, Cao Cao no longer needed to hide it, and Cao Ang was the best candidate at all.

Cao Ang was a little sluggish, and he didn't react until Liu Ping secretly stabbed him, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "My father is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and my son is willing to be a pioneer for his father all his life, step on the world, and protect the land and the people." ”

"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, and said with relief: "Having said that, after all, my father is old, and his health is not as good as before, and you and Ping'er should take on more responsibilities in the future, and share worries for your father." ”

When he said this, Cao Cao was sad and tired.

People in this era have a short lifespan, and the forty-year-old Cao Cao has begun to enter the last years of his life.

The atmosphere around them suddenly became oppressive.

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Big brother, I heard about this expedition in front of me, and the news was leaked, I don't know if the leaker was caught?" ”

As soon as he said this, Cao Cao began to have a headache again, and snorted: "Recently, Xu Du has made the full pet jump, searched all the mansions, and arrested countless people, but there is no trace of the fine work, which really makes me anxious."

Tomorrow is the deadline I give him to see how he explains it to me. ”

"Search all the mansions?" Cao Chun couldn't help but speak, "Still arresting countless people? ”

"Don't worry," Cao Cao smiled indifferently: "I don't dare to search your mansion and arrest a few of you people."

You wait for a long journey on the saddle horse, and go back to rest early. ”

……

Liu Ping returned to the mansion, and Cao Jie led a group of warblers and warblers to come out to greet him.

Although Cao Jie has not yet married, Liu Ping is not there, and Liu Mansion has no owner, so she, as the future hostess, naturally has to go to the mansion to take care of it.

It's just that Cao Jie is just a girl who has not changed the world, and she is basically free-range to those women of the same age, and the relationship is extremely harmonious.

Seeing Liu Ping, the head of the family, return safely, all the women were overjoyed, chattering around, shouting and asking for warmth.

"The master led the troops to fight, and he didn't hurt himself, right? Let the slave and maid see ......"

"Let the slave and maid wait for the master to change clothes and bathe, and wash away the dust ......"

"The master sleeps outside in the open air, and he reduces a lot, waits for the slave and maid to cook a few dishes, and waits for the master to drink a cup ......"

One by one, the concern is beyond words.

Liu Ping soaked in the pile of girls, smelled the body fragrance of his daughter emanating from them, and listened to the words of kindness, and couldn't help but be tickled by the coquettishness.

Originally, he believed that he should live in troubled times, and he should enjoy such blessings every day.

Why is it that in the blink of an eye, he is covered with dust, except for a war, he is a war?

This is not in line with his original goal.

However, after so many battles, in exchange for not only having a fiefdom official position, but also the population of Liu Mansion is gradually growing.

Now in Liu's Mansion, there is not only a group of original maids and servants singing and dancing, but also Ling'e, Qin Luofu and others, and there are hundreds of palace concubines in the courtyard over there.

This time he captured Yuan Shu, and arrested hundreds of Yuan Shu's concubines, and after a while, he will be escorted to Xu Du, I don't know if the Son of Heaven will also be handed over to him like those palace concubines.

If that's the case, his harem is almost a thousand.

Headache......

"On this expedition, I also brought you gifts, take it and divide it," Liu Ping smiled slightly and waved his hand, ordering someone to carry the box.

"Brother Liu Ping is out on the expedition and can return safely, we are already satisfied, why bother thinking about bringing me gifts?"

Cao Jieqiao's face was slightly red, slightly shy, and her beautiful eyes were affectionate.

As Liu Ping made more and more meritorious contributions and his official position became higher and higher, Cao Jie, as his fiancée, naturally felt honored.

You must know that in Xudu, even if you look at the whole world, there is no one who is so young and already in such a high position.

And Liu Ping is at the top of Xu Shao's "Yuedan Commentary", I don't know how many noble families in the world like it, but Liu Ping is already her Cao Jie's fiancé, isn't it worth being satisfied?

"Brother Liu Ping doesn't have to worry about this matter in the future, as long as he thinks about Jie'er in his heart, even if he brings back a bag of pastries and a bag of fruits, Jie'er will be very happy."

More than a dozen girls nodded in unison sincerely.

These people, except for Cao Jie, are all from poor backgrounds, and it is a great luck to have such a stable place to live in this troubled era, to be well fed and clothed, how can they ask for any gifts?

As Cao Jie said, even if Liu Ping, the head of the family, brought back a bag of pastries from the place of conquest, they were already satisfied.

At this time, the two soldiers came in with great difficulty carrying a large box, placed it in the center of the hall, and then bowed out.

Looking at the posture of the two soldiers, this box seems to be very heavy.

Cao Jie couldn't help but frown slightly: "Brother Liu Ping, what is this, is it really a box of fruits?"

If it weren't for the common thing like fruit, I wouldn't have packed it in such a big box.

"Open it and take a look," Liu Ping smiled slightly.

The little maidservant Xiao Cheng stepped forward and slowly opened it, and suddenly countless golden lights shot out, almost stabbing the blind eye.

"My mother!"

Little Orange screamed and sat on her ass in fright.

I saw that the box was full of jewels, jade, jade, gold jewelry, and a dazzling array of jewels.

Rao is Cao Jie, a rich lady, was also stunned, not to mention the other women? They had never seen anything so valuable in their lives.

Yuan Shu was extremely poor and extravagant, and supported him with ten counties and one country, how could the treasures he collected be bad?

The women all stood there stunned as if they had been immobilized, looking at the box in a daze.

They never dreamed that the gift Liu Ping brought them would be so valuable.

"These treasures, the slave and maid have never seen them......"

"The slave and maid have a low status, how can they be qualified to wear such precious utensils, I am afraid that these treasures will be ruined......"

"Since the slave and the maid have followed the master, they have lived like a fairy every day, and the master has rewarded them with such treasures, and the slave and maid ...... The slave didn't dare to accept ......"

Even the worst one of them is worth a lot of money, and it is enough to buy ten hundred handmaidens, and their identity is just ordinary handmaidens, how can they be qualified to have this kind of thing?

At this time, Liu Ping smiled lightly and said: "No matter how good the treasure is, in my eyes, it is just a stone and gold artifact, how can a living person be important?"

Let's divide it up. ”

The women were suddenly moved, and they couldn't wait to throw themselves into the arms of their masters immediately, but there were too many of them......

In the end, Cao Jie began to divide, and she didn't take the best or the worst herself, but only took a few medium ornaments.

This is the family tradition of their family, as the hostess, taking the best shows that she is greedy, and taking the worst shows that she is hypocritical.

The medium one is the most suitable.

"By the way, Sanqige has been living in a place where horses are raised, and it is very hard to take care of the horses all day long, so Ling'e will take a few pieces and send them to her," Liu Ping said suddenly.

No one in Liu's house knew that there was such a person as Sang Qige, and after hearing Liu Ping say this, everyone knew that there was such a sister living outside.

"The slave will go tomorrow," Ling'e blinked and smiled, "It's just that sister or sister named Sanqige, why doesn't she come to the mansion?" ”
