"Two thousand households are enough," Liu Ping said lightly.

"Two thousand?" Zao Yi exclaimed, his face full of surprise: "Isn't Pinggongzi joking, two thousand homeless households, and no more than three thousand young and strong, but how to cultivate 100,000 acres of arable land?"

For a county of this size, we have to recruit 8,000 young people. ”

That is, Liu Ping's status is noble, he doesn't dare to make a mistake, if he changes others, he would have jumped up and scolded the other party for not understanding and fooling around.

He has been studying agriculture for many years.

How many people to use, how much land to cultivate, how to squeeze the displaced people until there is no slag left, and not starve to death, he already has a set of experiences, and he asks himself that no one in the world is more proficient than him.

"Two thousand households, don't have more," Liu Ping insisted.

"However, the cultivation of Prince Ping is the land of the Son of Heaven, and it is also the cultivated land of Xu Capital, and everyone can see it in and out, if there is not enough manpower, resulting in desertion, will the general of the time not blame the lower officials for not guiding the son?"

Zao Yi frowned and continued to express his worries: "I don't know how Gongzi wants to distribute these two thousand people?" How many officers are needed? ”

In his opinion, although Liu Ping has made countless meritorious contributions, he may really not understand the organization of farming.

Although Liu Ping's native land is more productive and less prolific, it has nothing to do with him, but the position is too conspicuous, the native land is barren, and no one looks good on face, and the first person to bear the brunt is him, the person who dominates Tuntian.

Rather than let Cao Cao blame him then, he might as well send his powerful men to assist him now.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ping curled the corners of his mouth and said calmly: "I only need to distribute the land to these two thousand households and let them cultivate it by themselves, why do I need officials to lead it?" ”

"This ......" Zao only opened his mouth, dumbfounded, and couldn't say a word.

What this guy said is getting more and more outrageous, there is no capable official management, let the farmers cultivate by themselves, can those foolish people cultivate well?

There was silence in the hall, and the rest of the officials had never heard of Liu Ping's almost dereliction of duty in arranging Tuntian.

Looking at their dumbfounded looks, Liu Ping ignored them, but asked Zao Yi in turn: "Since the Son of Heaven's "Edict on Encouraging Farmers" was issued, there has been an endless stream of displaced people from all over the world who have come to Xu Du. ”

"Even if it's Tuntian, I naturally only use useful people, old people, and young children, what do I have to do with it?" Jujube is only full of indifferent ways.

"It is against humanity to use its youth and strength to abandon its old and young," Liu Ping was slightly angry in his heart, no wonder some people in later generations jokingly called Cao's Tuntian system "Tuntian serfdom", precisely because of the use of jujubes to kill chickens and take eggs.

He only considers young adults, and in that case, it is enough to give them forty percent of the grain.

But which young man is not old and young, and a family needs to be fed?

How can it be enough to give them that little bit of food to feed a whole family?

Moreover, the practice of leading the displaced people according to the military establishment is really inefficient, and the grain produced is already small, and even less is distributed to the displaced people when the time comes.

"If Zao Gong does this, there will be a big mess in the future." Liu Pingdao.

Seeing that Liu Ping did not follow his advice, Zao Yi blamed himself, stood up and said angrily: "Since Gongzi Ping thinks so, the lower official will go to General Cao to ask for guilt and resign from this position." ”

"Bold!" Liu Ping was angry, slapped the table and stood up, and said loudly: "I persuade you with good words, but you are threatened with resignation, and when something happens, I am afraid that you will not be able to afford it." ”

As soon as he was angry, everyone was so frightened that they were silent, including Zao You's heart.

Everyone knows his status in the Cao family, not only is he deeply trusted by Cao Cao now, but also the talent that Cao Cao will leave to Cao Ang in the future.

"Childe is angry, Childe is angry."

Zao You's subordinate Ren Jun hurriedly stood up and saluted Liu Ping repeatedly, and the rest of the people also came over to make amends for Zao You.

Liu Ping didn't pay attention to these people, waved the sleeves of his robe, walked out, turned his back to them when he arrived at the door, and said coldly: "Two thousand homeless people, one household can't be more, and one household can't be less. ”

After saying that, he slammed the door and went out.

After he left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they were angry and gossiped around Zao:

"Oh, Zao Gong, in the eyes of General Cao, I am afraid that Pinggongzi is on par with the eldest prince, how dare you be angry with him?"

"He wants 2,000 homeless households, you give him 2,000 households, and in the future he really wants to cultivate his native land, that is his business, and it is the Son of Heaven who suffers, what does it have to do with me?"

"Ping Gongzi has made countless contributions, even if he messes one or two things, his status in General Cao's heart will not have the slightest impact, but if we offend him, it will be too worthless."

The one-sided persuasion of everyone, Zao Yi also regretted it in his heart, he shouldn't have retreated just now.

But if he said it and spilled the water, it was useless to regret it, but he was still very confident in his Tun Tian Ce.

He made a circle at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "The matter has come to this, Zao You implore all the public to take your life and handle the affairs of Tuntian properly, so that General Cao can rest assured that there is really going to be a mess, and Zao You may only be able to apologize to the general with this head." ”

"It's not like this, Zao Gong's strategy of Tuntian, thinking about Zhou Xiang, there are many capable officials, and there will be no mistakes."

"At that time, we will have countless grains, the Son of Heaven will be barren, with the wisdom of a general, even if the prince of Ping enters the slander, it will be fine, and the prince of Zao does not have to worry."

……

On this day, Yuan Shao's envoy came and clearly refused to accept the post of lieutenant.

So Cao Cao took the initiative to go to the table, gave the general to Yuan Shao, and he himself changed to Sikong, anyway, Cao Cao didn't value these false names.

This time, Yuan Shao accepted it.

Although he lost his official position as a general, Yuan Shao was so serious, and Cao Cao was even happier.

Previously, although after welcoming the Son of Heaven, literati, doctors and exiles from all over the world came to vote, he was still worried that the princes would not approve of today's son, and now Yuan Shao made such a fuss, at least it shows that the princes are approved.

In this way, he can use the Son of Heaven to do more articles, which shows how wise Liu Ping was to welcome the Son of Heaven at the beginning.

Then it was reported that Liu Ping made a big fuss about the Tuntian official office, so Cao Cao called Zao Yi over.

"I heard that Ping'er lost her temper at you?" Cao Cao knelt in front of the desk and said calmly.

Seeing that Cao Cao was not angry, Zao Yi knew that Cao Sikong was broad-minded, not right to people, and would not be biased towards him because Liu Ping was his son-in-law.

"Back to Cao Sikong, Ping Gongzi had a lot of complaints about Xiaguan Tuntian's policy, and Xiaguan didn't dare to agree, so Ping Gongzi went away in a rage."

Cao Cao snorted, his face suddenly became ugly, and he said sharply: "You can only know what the following offenses are?" ”
