Chapter 8: Reward
Yanzhou is one of the thirteen states in the late Han Dynasty, between the ancient Yellow River and the ancient Jishui, its territory is equivalent to a province in later generations.
After Cao Cao served as the assassin of Yanzhou, he recruited a large number of displaced people to Tuntian, and at this time hundreds of thousands of displaced people had gathered in the entire jurisdiction.
The displaced people were arranged in an orderly manner and settled down, and the state government provided fields, cattle, and farm tools, and there were special personnel to lead the unified farming.
In this troubled era, it is a great luck for the displaced people to come to the place, have land to plant, have food to eat, and have their lives guaranteed.
After entering the city, Liu Ping found that the whole city was very different from what he imagined.
He originally thought that the war and chaos would inevitably lead to a depression.
But as far as I could see, there were teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, and workshops on both sides of the street, and there were many small vendors with large umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides of the street.
The sparkling carriages and horses on the street, the endless flow of pedestrians, and the indifferent and comfortable smiles all reflect Cao Cao's good governance of the city.
is worthy of being a capable minister who governs the world, Liu Ping sighed, but unfortunately, it is a troubled time now.
They rode on horseback through the streets, and the people on both sides knelt on both sides, praising the kindness of Cao Envoy.
While the team was marching, Cao Cao suddenly stopped, beckoned to Liu Ping, and pointed to the courtyard gate in an alley: "Ping'er, you have just arrived, and it is too late to build a mansion for you, although this house is not big, it is also exquisite, and now no one lives, so I will give it to you first, you can settle here for the time being."
Ang'er sent him over. β
Liu Ping hurriedly thanked him, a house was said to be sent, Cao Cao was really heroic in doing things, no wonder this person had such great achievements later.
He has considered everything for you properly, who can not give him his life?
Liu Ping stopped his horse and watched the team move on.
When Cao Song passed by, he said to Liu Ping: "Ping'er, you haven't rested well in the past few days, go home and rest, if there is anything, come to the Assassin's Mansion at any time to find me." β
"Thank you, Father," Liu Ping hurriedly said politely.
After the whole team passed, Cao Ang jumped off his horse, took the reins and walked into the alley with Liu Ping.
"Brother Xian, although this courtyard is not big, the decoration is quite good, and there are all the maids and servants in it, so it is just right for you to live in." Cao Ang introduced as he walked.
"Big brother, have you been to this courtyard?" Liu Ping was puzzled.
"It's funny, the original owner of this courtyard is our uncle, he is Mrs. Bian's younger brother, three months ago, he was kicked out of the city by his father for deducting military salaries, and this house was naturally confiscated."
Liu Ping nodded, Mrs. Bian is the biological mother of Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang.
Later, because Cao Cao was lustful, the battle of Wancheng was lost, and Cao Ang died in battle.
Mrs. Ding, the original partner who raised Cao Ang single-handedly, regarded Cao Cao as an enemy and resolutely broke with him.
In the end, I had no choice but to support Mrs. Bian as the main room, so that Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's brothers had the identity of sisters-in-law, and they also had the right to compete for the throne.
Therefore, if Cao Ang does not die, the original wife of Mrs. Ding has no children, everyone is a concubine, Cao Ang was born to Mrs. Ding's maid, and Mrs. Ding raised him with her own hands, and his identity is not much different from the eldest son, and the big position is simply nine out of ten.
Naturally, now that Liu Ping is by Cao Ang's side, he will never let him die.
They came to the door while talking, and the door was not big, but it was a good place to be quiet in the middle of the noise.
Cao Ang stepped forward and clicked the knocker a few times, and the door opened.
An old servant came out, and when he saw that it was Cao Ang, he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down.
"Eldest Prince, why are you here?"
"Brother Xian, let's visit your new home, if there is anything missing, send someone directly to my house to pick it up."
Cao Ang stretched out his hand to Liu Ping and made a gesture of invitation, and then said to the old servant kneeling on the ground: "Go and call all the maids and servants." β
treats his subordinates, his tone is very arrogant, and he has the majesty of the eldest prince of the county.
When Liu Ping entered the hospital, he couldn't help but scream in his heart.
Cao Cao just said that this yard is small, where is this small.
The whole courtyard covers an area of several acres, the pavilions and pavilions that are repaired, the pond pavilion and the water pavilion are reflected in the green pines and cypresses, the rockery and strange stones, the flower beds and bonsai, the vines and green bamboos, dotted in the meantime.
This scenery is so beautiful, it is actually a garden-like yard.
After a short time, more than 30 subordinates were called to kneel in the open space.
There were twenty young women, four old servants, and seven or eight male servants of no small age.
"Listen, this courtyard, along with you, my father has already given it to this Liu Gongzi, and he will be your new master in the future." Cao Ang said in a stern tone: "You are careful to serve, if Liu Gongzi is dissatisfied with any of you, I will not spare you, do you hear?" β
"Slaves don't dare!" Everyone bowed their heads in agreement.
Cao Ang changed his smile again, and said to Liu Ping like Mu Chunfeng: "Brother Xian, rest well, my father will probably arrange an official position for you in the next two days, you have made such a great contribution, the official position must not be small." β
Liu Ping smiled, I don't know what kind of official Cao Cao will arrange for himself, if he really arranges a military attache for himself, he will not go into battle to kill the enemy.
It's better to be a civil official.
Cao Ang took his leave after explaining, and as an adult son, he also had a separate mansion.
Liu Ping visited the entire courtyard, and the old official family bowed his head and followed.
The original owner here was a corrupt official, how could he not understand the truth of pleasure?
It seems that there is no less effort in this yard, here is a step by step, all the living utensils are readily available, and the decoration of the house is also extremely luxurious.
Even listening to the housekeeper's introduction, even the singers and dancers here are fully equipped, and they can present a music and dance for Liu Ping at any time.
Liu Ping never dreamed that one day he would live in such a yard, with so many maids to serve and a private singing and dancing girl.
It's a really special day......
However, he was too tired at this time to enjoy the music and dance.
He was in dire need of sleep now.
As soon as he slept until the next day, a herald brought Liu Ping a ribbon official uniform and a letter of appointment.
Liu Ping opened the letter of appointment and learned that he had been appointed by Cao Cao as the general of the Diannong Zhonglang and was in charge of Tuntian in Shanyang County.
At this time, the world was in turmoil, and large areas of land became borderless, Cao Cao accepted the advice of his subordinate Han Hao, and brought all the land in Yanzhou under the jurisdiction of the Assassin Shi Mansion, and recruited displaced people to cultivate in order to accumulate military rations for the army.
The so-called Diannong Zhonglang General and Diannong School Lieutenant were both Cao Cao's improved official positions, specifically responsible for managing the cultivation of the homeless people.
However, Zhonglang's official position was not unique to Cao Cao, and it already existed in the imperial court, which was equivalent to the county guard of a county.
For example, Zhou Yu's official position is Jianwei Zhonglang General, Cao Pi served as the Zhonglang General of the Five Senses after becoming the prince, and Zhuge Liang's official position after entering Shu was the military division Zhonglang General, that is to say, Liu Ping started from the beginning and was comparable to these cattle after they became famous.
It's just that Liu Ping, a general in the middle of the pawn farmer, has only one county under his management, and it seems that his official position is high and his authority is small, so it is obvious that Cao Cao does not believe in his ability.
He couldn't help but smile, he turned out to be the captain of the production team, which was exactly what he wanted.
Although he doesn't know how to farm, he has a full set of agricultural books in his head, although he can't remember them all, but he can always remember a scale and half a claw, which is always more advanced than in the later Han Dynasty.
So he locked himself in his house and prepared to write a book on agriculture, which he named "Cao Min Yaoshu".
Speaking of which, he is also very helpless, it is almost a necessary skill for a traverser to be a copyist, but he just encountered this post-Han era.
In front of Cao Cao, the founder of Jian'an literature, even if he copied the Tang and Song poems of later generations, he may not be able to compare with Cao Cao's poems, not to mention the more terrifying Cao Zhi brothers.
So he could only copy the agricultural book, which corresponded to his official position at this time.
As for writing, this era used official scripts, Liu Ping is a student of history, and has dabbled in ancient characters, although the writing is not very beautiful, but it is no problem for people to know.
β¦β¦
In the study of the Assassin's Mansion, Cao Song knew that after Liu Ping was appointed to manage Tuntian, he came directly to Cao Cao.
"Why did you arrange such an official position for Ping'er? A manly man should go to the battlefield to make a contribution, but you let him farm? Cao Song didn't understand it.
When Cao Cao saw his angry father, he smiled and walked out from behind the bookcase and poured tea for his father personally: "This appointment was made after careful consideration.
The so-called soldiers are in danger, Ping'er saved his father after all, if he is allowed to go to the battlefield, if there is any mistake, won't the world laugh at our Cao family for not caring about the life of Engong?
But let him stay in the rear Tuntian, and there will be no worries about his life. β
"However, what merit can a Tuntian official make? Isn't it true that he can only live a mediocre life in this life? Cao Song still felt that his son's appointment was not appropriate.
Even if the official position of the general is not small, it is difficult to make great achievements in managing Tuntian.
After all, there is a lot of land and grain on how many acres, and as a tuntian official, he is only organizing displaced people to farm, and it is difficult to make a difference.
Cao Cao said with a smile: "The official of Tuntian in Shanyang County is called Han Hao, and this Tuntian strategy is offered by him, this person is good at cultivation and management, and he is his deputy to Ping'er, and Ping'er almost doesn't have to care about anything."
The mansion I gave to Ping'er, the decoration inside is better than this thorn mansion, and even the singing and dancing girls are fully equipped, Ping'er lives in it, listens to music every day, and looks at singing and dancing.
If it weren't for my son's shoulders as a state, I would have wanted to live like this. β
Cao Song thought about it, and what his son said seemed to have some truth, which is equivalent to raising Liu Ping, high-ranking officials to do it, every day, don't worry about anything else, it's too late for others to envy you on such days.
However, it seems that it is too much pity for Liu Ping to live a life of retirement at a young age.
