After three years of development, the economy of Yizhou, especially the Chengdu Plain, has been fully restored and developed, and now the Chengdu Plain has once again restored the status of "the country of abundance", becoming the third grain-producing area in addition to the Jizhou Plain and the Guanzhong Plain in the world, and the harvest is eye-catching.

However, at this time, Cao Pi, the lord of Chu State, did not express too much envy and jealousy for Liu He's economic achievements, and he was also in great joy at this time, which was of course not what height Xuzhou's economy had reached, but he received a great good news, this good news is that after six years of hard fighting, Sima Yi finally completely pacified the Wa State, and now the leaders of all tribes and tribes of the Wa State have all submitted to Da Chu and are completely obedient to Da Chu.

"Haha, Sima Zhongda only used 30,000 remnants of Mount Tai, after six years to completely pacify the Wa Kingdom, obtain thousands of miles of land, millions of people, more than 100,000 capable warriors, although it may not be comparable to Liu He Xiao'er, but such a vast land, so many people, is definitely second to none, and then we only need to follow his requirements, send 100,000 immigrants there, develop the land, spread production technology, I believe that it will be completed in less than ten years, and the population will double or even triple in thirty years, In this way, we can also organize an army of hundreds of thousands of people, and at that time, we can use this army of hundreds of thousands of people to peek into the Central Plains at any time, as long as the Central Plains is in turmoil, that is our opportunity, even if I can't complete the dream of counterattacking the Central Plains in my lifetime, my son, grandson, great-grandson, great-grandson....... Sooner or later, it will help me realize this dream. ”

Cao Pi was extremely happy because of the conquest of the Wa Kingdom, and his confidence was even more sufficient, even if he was usually a little respectful to Liu He, he was now much less, and went straight into the palace to report to the Son of Heaven the great achievements of pacifying the Wa Kingdom.

"The fact that Duke Chu was able to open the country for thousands of miles is really an unprecedented feat." For Cao Pi's great achievements, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, is also extremely pleased, regardless of whether he is a puppet or not, he will definitely write in the history books in the future, during his reign, he will pacify the Wa Kingdom and open the country.

Cao Pi began to say at this time: "Since Your Majesty also thinks that this is an unprecedented great achievement, shouldn't you reward the heroes who have made great achievements?" ”

"This is also true, I don't know who is the main general in the army, I will definitely reward him generously." Liu Xie thought of being canonized as the Marquis of Huating when Lu Xun opened up the frontier before, and felt that it would be almost the same to canonize a Marquis of Pavilion this time, if the leader of the troops was a veteran general, at most he would be promoted by one level and be crowned a marquis, which was already a very high reward for the ministers.

Next, Liu Xie heard that the leader of the troops was a young general named Sima Yi, and he was even more unimpressed, and said to Cao Pi: "Then pay tribute to General Zhengdong and be named the Marquis of Hejin Pavilion, I don't know what happens to the Duke of Chu?" ”

Liu Xie originally thought that Cao Pi would definitely agree, but he didn't expect Cao Pi to say: "Although Sima Yi is young, he is the most capable general under Weichen, and he has already been a Situ in my country before, and he has been worshiped as the general of Zhengdong when he goes on the expedition. ”

"It turns out that he was already a general of Zhengdong before, Situ of Chu State, if this is the case, then he will be promoted to another level, worship as a former general, and be named a countryman of Anguo, this is always okay, right?" Liu Xie saw that with Sima Yi's status, his reward was indeed a little too thin, but his current reward was definitely not low, and he thought that Cao Pi would definitely agree this time.

However, Cao Pi said: "The military position is just that, but the knighthood is still a little bad, Sima Yi has the merit of founding the country, how can a townsman serve the public?" ”

"Huh? In the past, Lu Xun and Tai Shici also had the merit of founding the country, and they were both named pavilion marquis, and now giving Sima Yi a township marquis is enough to open up the gap, and now the Duke of Chu still thinks that the title is low, is it to be a county marquis? This is the top title among the marquises, and my dynasty has never been awarded a title except for the founding heroes......"

"Hmph, what hasn't been sealed again? Isn't there someone under the command of King Qin who has been made a county marquis? Could it be that Bixia thinks that Sima Yi's merits are not comparable to those generals under his command? Cao Pi's voice became very cold, and he said in a deep voice.

Liu Xie was silent when he heard this, although he knew that Liu He was different from others, and with his status, he could easily steal the supreme position of the Han Dynasty, but he never did so, like this, it was nothing to give the generals under his command the titles of marquis of several counties, so as to appease the hearts of those generals, but Cao Pi himself was a minister with a different surname, and his power was so weak that he did not dare to steal the throne, and it was enough to give his ministers a township marquis.

However, Liu Xie didn't dare to say such words, because Cao Pi's eyes were very cold and threatening.

In this case, Liu Xie could only sigh: "Since this is the case, then seal Wenhou." ”

"Your Majesty has such a clear reward and punishment, the soldiers must be grateful for the kindness of the pen and work harder to serve the Son of Heaven." Cao Pi saluted the Son of Heaven, and then said: "It's not a secret, Sima Yizhi can have today's achievements, and Wechen has also made a small contribution in it, although His Majesty's favor has been generous, even if it is a reward, Wechen should also push it away, but if it is not rewarded, I am afraid that others will complain about His Majesty's unfair reward and punishment......"

"This is natural, then reward Chu Gong with 10,000 taels of gold, 10,000 horses of brocade, and add 3,000 households, I don't know what happened to Chu Gong's will?"

"Hehe, isn't Your Majesty joking? Wechen is now favored by His Majesty, and his family is quite rich, how does His Majesty think that adding these possessions can help Wechen? It's just the icing on the cake, not even the icing on the cake. ”

"Huh? So much property Chu Gong is not satisfied? But the treasury in my palace is almost empty, this is already the greatest sincerity I can show, even so, the entire harem will have to cut back on food and clothing for several months. Liu Xie was shocked by this and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, as a courtier, how dare Wei Chen ask for too much from His Majesty? This time, Wechen will never ask His Majesty for financial rewards, but now Wechen can be regarded as the founding of the country, and he has rescued the car several times, even if Han Xin has made a meritorious deed, it is always much stronger than Xiao He, right? Weichen heard that Liu Chan's bloodline has long been thin, in fact, he is no longer my Han clan relative, and he can be crowned the king of the county, and Weichen is not inferior to him at all, even if he is not as good as the King of Qin, is it not as good as a Liu Chan? Therefore, I also ask Your Majesty to reward the land of a county to Weichen. ”

"What? What did you say? The so-called "rewarding the land of a county" means that Liu Xie wants him to make him the king of the county, this request is indeed bold enough, even Liu Xie couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it, and asked in disbelief.
