Gift?

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Liu Ping had sent him a letter nearly a month ago, saying that he would smelt iron in Dongguan County.

For this reason, he also squeezed out 5 million money in the military salary to support.

And the scouts he sent also came back to report that Liu Ping was assigned labor in Dongguan County and took stones on a large scale.

Judging from the situation, Liu Ping was really determined to make iron, so he didn't send scouts to investigate.

Cao Cao was familiar with all kinds of ancient books, according to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas": "Thirty-seven iron-producing places in the world".

In the fourth year of Emperor Wu's Yuanzhan Dynasty, he announced the policy of salt and iron official camps, and placed 49 iron officials in the world, and there was no record that Dongguan County could still produce iron.

However, although he couldn't understand Liu Ping's behavior, Liu Ping's previous piles and piles were vivid, and he was ready to wait and see what happened.

Anyway, the loss is only five million dollars, and no matter how tight the military budget is, he can still afford it.

With Liu Ping's previous achievements, it is worth taking this risk.

At this time, he suddenly heard that Liu Ping had come to give him a gift, and he immediately thought: Isn't that kid really smelting iron?

That guy has made the impossible possible before.

Cao Cao and Cheng Yu glanced at each other: "Go out and have a look!" ”

The two stood up and stepped out.

Xi Zhicai covered his mouth in the room and coughed violently.

When the cough eased slightly, he opened his hand, and there were red blood stains in his palm......

Cao Cao led Cheng Yu to the door of the Assassin's Mansion, and saw dozens of carriages side by side, covered with oilcloth, which seemed to be square things.

Cao Cao's heart was shocked, and at this time, a young man came over and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, trembling and said, "But Cao Envoy Jun is above?"

Yang Xing, a grass citizen, came on the order of Liu Fujun. ”

Liu Ping specially ordered Yang Xing to take the time to come.

For this kind of good news, Cao Cao will most likely be rewarded when he is happy.

Since Liu Ping chose Yang Xing as the leader, he naturally wanted to reward him.

However, Yang Xing didn't know what this meant, he held a letter above his head, and with a wave of his hand, all the coachmen uncovered the oilcloth covered, and saw that each cart was neatly stacked with iron bricks one foot square.

Looking at the swarthy iron bricks, Cao Cao and Cheng Yu both widened their eyes and stood on the spot.

After a while, Cheng Yu stepped forward and touched the iron brick, and wanted to pick up a piece with his hand, but he had to use a lot of strength to pick it up, and he was afraid that a piece weighed fifty pounds.

When it is put down, it makes a crisp and piercing sound of metal impact.

Cheng Yu didn't care about his age, so he trotted from carriage to carriage and took a piece to try, ran until the end, and then ran back.

"Envoy, it's really iron, it's all iron!"

Cao Cao suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and opened Liu Ping's letter to read it.

I saw that the letter was an account calculated by Liu Ping:

Each furnace can produce twenty iron bricks, and four furnaces a day, that is, eighty pieces.

There are ten furnaces in total, which can produce 800 iron bricks per day.

Each iron brick weighs 50 catties and can produce 40,000 catties of iron per day.

According to the calculation of ten cents per catty of iron, it is 400,000 yuan.

Now it's 10 days of production.

Cao Cao looked at this string of numbers, couldn't help but tremble, and then looked at the dozens of carriages in front of him

In this way, isn't there an income of more than 10 million dollars a month?

He knew that iron smelting was different from silkworm raising, but it was not just refining for a month or two months, that is, he would have this income every month in the future.

For him, this is simply a relief in the snow.

Cao Cao couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed: "Ping'er is really my son-in-law, and he can always solve my urgent needs."

He actually has such ability, and he really smelted iron in Dongguan County. ”

With this money, the problem of military pay would be solved, even if the labor not apportioned to the women.

Dongguan County was originally a huge burden to take down, and Cao Cao was ready to move the people of the county to Tuntian in Xu County according to Xi Zhicai's suggestion.

But Liu Ping smelted iron in the place where the birds didn't, and he could hand over 10 million yuan a month in income

Now he has not even half of the money and grain handed over by any county in Yanzhou under his rule.

Is this still a burden? It's a constant stream of money.

When Cheng Yu saw the letter, he couldn't help but sigh: "Pinggongzi's methods are unpredictable, so that you can get such a good son-in-law, it is really a blessing for Yanzhou." ”

As the great butler of Yanzhou, there is nothing more gratifying than finding him a steady stream of income.

After a while, Cheng Yu suddenly looked at Cao Cao with a smile: "In this way, the counties will keep the evaluation, and they can still pull Ping Gongzi down?" ”

An important reason why Cao Cao sealed Liu Ping to the poorest Dongguan County was that he was justifiably pulled down the first place in the evaluation and handed it over to officials with foreign surnames.

However, Liu Ping turned waste into treasure, and in just one month, he turned the poorest county into the richest county.

Officials everywhere are not fools, such an achievement is not the first, who dares to take the first?

Cao Cao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I deserve to be the first to take Ping'er, if I forcibly remove it, I'm afraid that the people of Yanzhou will not agree, so be it." ”

Since it is an official evaluation, it must still have a certain basis, otherwise it is all based on his words, what else is the evaluation?

Liu Ping's exploit made other officials unreachable, this quality is the first, I'm afraid no one will dare to ask for it, Cao Cao naturally gave up the idea of winning.

"You are Yang Xing?" After Cao Cao's mood calmed down a little, he said to Yang Xing.

"Grass People...... It is! Yang Xing replied tremblingly.

A few days ago, Liu Ping gave him a salary of 2,000 yuan as promised, which already made him faint with joy.

When Liu Ping told him to let him go to Yanzhou to meet Cao Yuanjun, he was even more excited and didn't sleep well for several days.

Who is Cao Yuanjun? That is the emperor of Yanzhou, a small man who has risen to the top, and never expected to see such a big man one day.

Cao Cao said casually: "Ping'er, well, your county guard mentioned you in the letter, saying that you have worked hard in ironmaking, and now I will make you the post of captain, and you will serve your county guard in the future." ”

Naturally, he couldn't nail his son-in-law there all the time to make iron, so he rewarded the people mentioned by Liu Ping, so that he could ensure that the ironmaking would continue after Liu Ping left.

Captain?

Yang Xing was stunned, what is Du Wei?

It sounds like an official position, or it's a seal.

Cheng Yu coughed twice and explained: "The lieutenant is about the same as the county order, don't you want to thank you?" ”

"This ...... I ......" Yang Xing muttered, this happiness came too suddenly.

He never dreamed that he would one day become a county magistrate.

At this time, he realized that Liu Fujun let him meet Cao Yuanjun's deep meaning, and it turned out that he had personally written a letter to himself to ask for an official.

How can you repay such kindness?
