"Cao Sikong, Xiaguan ......" Zao Yi didn't expect Cao Cao's face to change so quickly, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Xiaguan is guilty." ”

"Liu Ping is the secretary of Guanglu Temple, the most basic official etiquette of the Han Dynasty, have you forgotten it?" Cao Cao spoke sharply.

Everyone knows that Liu Ping is his son-in-law and the person he relies on the most, and if anyone is disrespectful to Liu Ping, it is equivalent to slapping him in the face.

What's more, Liu Ping's talent has been confirmed in the entire Cao Group, and now what Liu Ping says to him, whether he understands it or not, he has to weigh it carefully.

But this jujube is so stubborn, and he can't help but say it, how can he not be angry?

"Why does Ping'er have a complaint about you?"

"Ping Gongzi said that the lower officials only consider the young and strong, and do not take into account their old and young relatives, which is contrary to human ethics and will cause a big mess." Zao only said pitifully, but his heart was full of bitter water, Cao Sikong couldn't help but reprimand himself, isn't this favoring his son-in-law?

"However, if the lower officials take care of all the old and weak women and children, the people will be happy, and the military rations raised will be less."

"Oh? How so? Cao Cao groaned.

I have to say that the share set by Zao Yi is a bit harsh, but everything is for the sake of Cao's military rations, which is no wonder Zaoyi.

After all, there is so much grain produced by one acre of land, and the more it is given to the people, the less the military rations, if he is asked to choose between the military rations and the people, he will not hesitate to choose the military rations.

"Do you think that your strategy will cause chaos?" Cao Cao's tone softened and asked hesitantly.

"The lower officials feel that nothing is wrong," Zao Yi puffed up his chest and said firmly: "Even if the people are a little dissatisfied, but the 50,000 troops of Sikong are on the left, what kind of storm can they make?"

The subordinate felt that if there was a shortage of military rations and the sergeants could not eat enough, there would be a big mess. ”

"That makes sense," Cao Cao nodded, and said to himself: "Ping'er, this kid, is indeed kind to the people, if you want to dominate the world, you can't be ruthless enough." ”

He raised his head and said to Zaoyou: "Just act according to your policy, go back and study the Book of Rites carefully." ”

"No!" Zao only replied with a bitter face.

……

More than a dozen tents were set up on Xudu Street, which were specially prepared for the recruitment of displaced people.

When a homeless person came, he went to the tent to register and make a book, and then divided it into the corresponding Sima to take it away.

In the past, there were miles of queues in front of each tent to sign up, but now the number of people has gradually decreased, and most of the tents have no one in front of them.

It was early afternoon, and the clerks and soldiers in charge of making the books sat on the ground in the tents, drowsy.

"Master Jun, are you recruiting homeless people here?"

One of the soldiers looked up and saw an old man in ragged clothes, carrying a burden on his shoulders, and staggered into the tent.

"How old are you?" One of the captains sitting at the innermost level rolled his eyes.

"Little Lao'er is twenty-two out of fifty," this old man is Qin Luofu's father.

At the beginning, in order to find a way for his daughter to live, he ruthlessly asked Lu Qi to take his daughter to Yanzhou, thinking that even if he was a servant girl for a big family, it would be better than being robbed by the Yellow Turban Army.

But then Cao Jun leveled the Yellow Turban Army north of Xu County, their days settled down, and there were no thieves to harass them, and Father Qin suddenly felt that it was a bit hasty to send his daughter away in the first place.

Besides, if a daughter goes to a big family's house, whether she marries a slave or is taken in by her master, she will eventually get married, how can she have no dowry at all?

Even if the daughter of a poor family marries, she will have to have a dowry after all, otherwise she will be criticized by her husband's family.

His daughter is his only relative in the world, and the more Father Qin thinks about it, the more he feels that it is inappropriate, so he sold everything that can be sold in the family, and finally scraped together two thousand dollars, ready to send it to his daughter as a dowry in the future.

But after he traveled all the way to Yanzhou, he inquired and learned that Liu's Mansion had moved to Xu County.

He couldn't help but complain, obviously Xu County was only a few dozen miles away from his Qin family building, but he ran back and forth and walked hundreds of miles.

Father Qin didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately turned back and went to Xu County again, but after this toss, most of the dowry prepared for his daughter had already been spent.

When he was on the road, he heard the legend of the homeless people that Xu County was recruiting the homeless people to Tuntian.

Father Qin pondered that he would also have a livelihood in the future, although he was older, he was barely able to farm, so as soon as he arrived in Xu County and saw that there was a place for recruitment, he was busy coming over to inquire.

"Don't look at the little old man who looks old, but it's true that he is fifty-two," Father Qin bowed his waist and laughed with him, and said to Na Wu Chang.

"You're blind, aren't you?" Wu Chang pursed his lips and said impatiently: "Look at your appearance, you are almost in your prime, get out, Lao Tzu has no time to grind his teeth with you." ”

They were ordered to recruit only those who were over sixteen years old and under fifty years old, and that no one would be too old or too young.

I have to say that his vision is still quite accurate, Father Qin is indeed sixty years old, but in order to be selected, he concealed that he was ten years old.

He has no other way, everything in the family has been sold, and his daughter has not found it yet, so he has this dowry money left for his daughter, and if he has no livelihood, he will soon eat it up.

"Master Jun, little old man has a lot of strength...... "Father Qin continued to explain.

"Get this old man out of the way," Wu Chang interrupted impatiently and waved his hand.

Immediately, two soldiers with halberds came over from the side, and they couldn't help but push Father Qin out.

However, the two of them had more strength, and they suddenly pushed Father Qin to the ground, and there was a crisp sound from the burden he was carrying.

"Wait! What's in the baggage? The chief Wu had very sensitive ears, and immediately heard that the burden contained money.

There is not much money on the homeless people these days, so he has been sitting here for so long without any oil or water.

The two soldiers didn't care about Father Qin's resistance, so they snatched the burden and put it in front of the captain to open it, and there was still about 1,000 yuan left inside.

"Well, I see that you do look like you are about fifty years old, what is your name, I will register it for you, and you can go to Tuntian Sima to report," Wu Chang said as he picked up his burden and put it at his feet.

His meaning is obvious, as long as Daddy Qin leaves him the money, and his pen is crooked, he can change Daddy Qin's age, and Daddy Qin can go to Tuntian.

Although the money was less, it was better than nothing, and he was just a casual one.

Nowadays, Cao's territory is dominated by Tuntian, so every Tuntian soldier has great power in front of the homeless, and the privateer's property is just a trivial matter, and even the wives and daughters of the homeless people are not a few.

"No, the little old man is not signing up," Father Qin hurriedly rushed over and said, "I beg the military master to return the burden to the little old man, that is the dowry I prepared for my daughter." ”

"Cut, this is a mess, your daughter may have been sold to which courtyard a long time ago, and the dowry?" Wu Chang sneered.
