Papadosta immediately bowed to Cao Pi and said, "Governor, thank you for your generosity. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoI just don't know what the governor wants to make this city look like? The craftsmen of our caravan will only repair the cities of the Sabbath country, not yours. ”

"Let's make it the same as the Sabbath country, and I will only send officials and a small number of sergeants to maintain law and order here, and I will also send a tax collector to collect taxes, and of course if they all sell goods to you, and you sell them to others, the tax collector will not have to collect taxes." Cao Pi said.

Papadosta immediately said, "Then ask the Governor to allow me to stay here and repair the city, and ask the Governor to bring Albanda to your Governor's city, and I will send two warriors to accompany Albanda to keep him safe." ”

After Cao Pi agreed, Papadosta immediately retired, and Cao Zhen, who had been listening to the conversation between the two on the side, said: "Brother, if you reduce taxes for their caravans like this, as long as the Hu merchants who do business in my Han Dynasty pass through them, won't they have to collect any taxes at all?" ”

"Brother Wei just said that they don't need to charge taxes to sell things in Junmi, and if their caravan wants to take goods into the customs, they will naturally have to pay taxes, and they will pay heavy taxes." Cao Pi said in a good time.

Cao Zhen suddenly heard this: "It turns out that my brother wants to run Junmi into a place for Hu and Han merchants to buy and sell, and the Han people can only buy the goods of Hu merchants there, needless to say, if they bring goods into or out of the customs, they also need to collect taxes." ”

Cao Pi said with a smile: "For my brother, I also have to set up a cargo colony, only buy and not sell, and the goods are engaged in Youzhou Prefecture, and there is no need to collect taxes to enter the customs." ”

Cao Zhen said with admiration: "In this way, the price of the goods we buy depends on the amount of taxes we pay, and my brother really has a strategy in his chest." ”

"It's not very difficult for the virtuous brother to know these things by looking at them more." Cao Pi said with a smile.

Cao Zhen waved his hand again and again: "As a younger brother, I still like to march and fight, these political affairs are difficult to pay attention to, and my brother spared me." ”

The next day, Papadosta and his caravan stayed in Junmi, with only two warriors of the Sabbatical Kingdom following Arbanda into Youbeiping, and when they arrived at Tuyan Castle, it was already three days later. At this time, it is already the height of summer, along the way you can see that the wheat of Juntun and Mintun has been flowering, and the flowers of rice are the same, and the words of wheat are also extraordinarily much, for such a strange scene, in addition to Cao Zhen and Suo, Yan Rou and other people feel very strange, tsk, and at the same time have more awe of Cao Pi, after all, this kind of yield increase can be said to be the art of ghosts and gods.

After returning to Tuyuan, Cao Pi placed Albanda in a courtyard in his governor's mansion, and asked Wang Dayan to assign ten soldiers to guard his safety. Then immediately summoned Jia Ji.

In the study of the State Pastoral Mansion, Cao Pi sat on a low couch and asked, "Ji Qiao, find you to speculate, how is our harvest this year?" ”

Jia Ji said: "The bumper harvest is enough to feed the army for two years, and it can still be exempted from taxes in Youzhou for one year, if it is planted in a large area in Zhuo County, Yuyang, Guangyang, and the three counties, it will only take three years, and Youzhou grain will be worry-free for ten years, and it can expand the number of soldiers by seventy, if there are enough people." ”

"I asked you to buy rice in Zhuo County before, what is happening now?" Cao Pi asked again.

Jia Ji replied: "Rice is also a bumper harvest, but there are only more than 1,000 acres of land, and the yield per mu is 18 stones, which is twice as much as that of ordinary rice fields, and 18,000 stones can be harvested in autumn." ”

"How many acres of military tun have been reclaimed in Youbeiping?" Cao Pi asked.

"At present, there are 670,000 acres." Jia Ji said.

Cao Pi shook his head secretly in his heart, after all, it is still the era of manpower farming, if in the future, such a large area as Youbeiping, if it can't open up 8 million acres of land, it will be embarrassing to say it. Immediately, Cao Pi asked again: "How much land is available?" ”

Jia Ji replied: "I heard Tian Zhizhong say that these days, many big clans have moved from the Central Plains and asked for a lot of arable land, and now the wasteland that can be reclaimed should be less than 2 million mu. ”

Cao Pi nodded and said, "Continue to take care of farming, don't slack off." ”

After Jia Ji went, Cao Pi called Tian Chou again and said to him: "From today on, if there are any more big clans moving north, don't talk about giving them the land of Youbeiping, the cultivated land of Youbeiping I will first want to be a military tun and a people's tun, and secondly, I want to divide some to the yeoman farmers, so I can't move again, they come again, and give them the land of Liaoxi County." ”

Tian Chou nodded and said: "It should indeed be so, besides, Liaoxi County has been taken into the palm of Cao Beijia's hands, and Liu Ziyang is taking care of political and business affairs, and he needs popularity." ”

Cao Pi continued: "These days, is there any news coming from Yecheng? ”

Tian Chou said: "The plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf and plot to seize Liaodong has been approved, and Xiaguan is waiting for the state pastor to return to Tuyuan to select an envoy to Liaodong to send the Gongsun clan to attack Goguryeo, and restore the country for the proton left in Liaodong County." ”

Cao Pi nodded and said, "The matter of the envoy, Mr. Zitai chooses." ”

Tian Chou immediately retired after receiving the order. After Cao Pi finished dealing with political affairs, he returned to the back house, found Zhen who was enjoying the flowers, saw Cao Pi coming to find, Zhen who was enjoying the flowers in a pavilion in the courtyard came forward to salute Cao Pi, standing next to him was a fair-skinned, wearing a fairy skirt, with a thin figure, but the appearance was very delicate and lovely girl, Cao Pi recognized that people's skills were good, and at a glance he saw that this woman was Xin Xianying who had seen it back then.

When Xin Xianying saw Cao Pi, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and her pretty face turned slightly red between the salutes.

Cao Pi smiled and nodded at it, then pulled Zhen to sit in the court, and found that there was a colorful translucent chessboard on the stone case, which was made of glaze produced by Cao Pi Manor, with black and white flags on it, which were also translucent, and were also made of glaze. The black and white chess pieces on it are holding each other, and they have played sixty or seventy moves.

Zhen saw Cao Pi's gaze fall on the chessboard, and then said softly: "This thing was given by Li Li, the Taishou of Zhuojun." ”

Cao Pi said with a smile: "This thing is not cheap, the price that was sold in Yecheng Restaurant can buy a house." Mrs. Lee is really generous. After speaking, he smiled and said: "Who is white and who is black?" ”

Zhen smiled: "Sister Xianying's white." ”

Cao Pi glanced at it twice, laughed and said: "Madam, your Xianying sister can compete step by step from thirty hands, this is all down to sixty-eight hands, and even thirty-eight hands are faint, which is also embarrassing for her." ”

Zhen sighed and said, "These days, we will only win after a hundred hands!" However, the husband's chess skills are unparalleled in the world, and what he said will not be wrong, Xianying's sister Zhen Xiuwai Huizhong, and several brothers in my chess artist are inferior. ”

Cao Pi also nodded and said: "Xianying's chess skills are really powerful, and she is a few points better than Uncle Ren." (To be continued.) )
