Cao Pi withdrew from Liaoxi County with his army as scheduled, this place occupied by the Wuhuan people all the year round has actually become their grassland, the galloping road in the Qin and Han dynasties has been almost destroyed by him, whether it is marching or transporting baggage, it is not an overnight thing to connect the cities in the county, so retreat is the best choice.

After the army returned to Tuyuan through Juxian Valley, Cao Pi first rewarded the soldiers of the three armies, and at the same time asked Sima Fu to sort out the list of those who died in battle, calculated the settlement fee and handed it over to Yu Ban, and handed it over to Cao Cao for distribution when he returned to Yecheng, although the settlement fee for these armies should be given by Cao Cao, but Cao Pi still felt that he should bear it, first, to leave a good reputation in the army, and secondly, to make Cao Cao feel that he was a person who loved the sergeants.

After returning to Tuyuan, Cao Pi sent to Xu Du to transport the glaze had returned, and he brought back ten carts of glaze, as well as five carts of five baht. Two of the ten carts of glaze have been carved into a variety of animals, and eight carts are just fired pieces, and the craftsmen who want to come to the manor have not had time to carve these glazes, and Jia Xu also sent twenty carving craftsmen to Cao Pi, who already know the hardness of the glaze in Xudu, so they can process those uncarved raw materials very efficiently.

Cao Pi first placed them in a well-built tuntian outside the city, and then invited Li Li, the Taishou of Zhuo County, to come to the mound, and then used two carts of glass to pay off the debt owed to him, and replaced the five baht coins of 200,000 yuan, plus the five carts and five baht coins shipped, Cao Pi now has 2.7 million five baht coins.

This number seems to be big, in fact, it is equal to 270 catties of gold, the emperor of the Han Dynasty married the queen to give a gift of 20,000 catties of gold, and the concubine asked for 4,000 catties of gold, Cao Pi's money is really nothing compared to this kind of beginning, even if you use this money to buy land, the price of an acre of plastered land in the Central Plains is more than 10,000 yuan, and the land of Yuzhou and Xuzhou is more expensive because of the large population, which can reach 135,000 yuan, so Cao Pi's money to buy land in the Central Plains is only more than 200 acres.

But in Youzhou, the account is not like this, because Youzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and Cao Pi is a state pastor, and the land without a grain can be priced at will, so Cao Pi set the land price of the anointed land at 3,000 yuan, and the land with little water source but can still be planted is priced at 500 yuan, as for the land of the Yanshan Mountains with 200 on the Great Wall, the land with a bit of desert is even cheaper, and the price is 50 yuan.

After setting the price, Cao Pi directly used 2.1 million yuan to buy 700 acres of fertile land before Tu Yin and Xu Wu, and then used the remaining 600,000 yuan to buy out 60 displaced people who voluntarily sold themselves and were displaced by the war, some of these refugees still dragged their families, and only 43 people were able to work. But for Cao Pi, that's enough.

It was summer, and Cao Pi asked these people to transport horse manure to the manor he bought to fertilize the fields, and at the same time used some people to build houses, stables, cowsheds, and donkey pens for his manor.

Everyone was puzzled by Cao Pi's practice of spending money to buy land, you must know that the state pastor is almost equal to the future of this place, has the right to act cheaply, and does not need to give money to ask for land, otherwise the imperial court will not change the state assassin history to the state pastor during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the assassin history is to monitor whether the county Taishou in a state is suspected of corruption, and the Taishou is not a direct subordinate relationship, but the state pastor can appoint and dismiss the Taishou, and the right to mobilize all materials and soldiers in the state, is definitely a hegemon.

Now that Cao Pi is the state pastor but spends money to buy land, everyone is naturally puzzled, but they know that they will buy land in Youzhou in the future, and I am afraid they will have to go to the state pastor to give money, because the state pastor buys land and gives money, how can these subordinate officials be an exception?

Then Cao Pi asked the craftsmen sent by Jia Xu to carve the glaze, and then sold it in Youzhou, the glaze began to sell, many local clans who lent grain to Cao Pi came to the door, asking Cao Pi to use the glaze to offset the grain debt, and even proposed not to interest, originally Cao Pi felt that the glaze is still a strange commodity to live in, and there is no need to mortgage the grain village, but when he heard that the other party did not want interest, he thought about it or felt that he had earned, so he immediately agreed.

Eight cars of glass have already paid off all the debts of the Youzhou clan, after all, a gadget is only 3,000 yuan, and it is nothing to pay off these debts, and even Cao Pi got back 300,000 baht money, Cao Pi used this money to buy fifty farming cattle with those big clans and put them in his newly bought manor.

This time after being busy, it was autumn unconsciously, except for a few big clans in Youbeiping this year, there was a harvest, and those who were divided into tuntian by Cao Pi did not have a harvest, but Zhuo County, Guangyang County, and Yuyang County got a bumper harvest, because they still have local gentry there to organize production, especially Zhuo County, a place that has not been baptized by war, has a more harvest, fortunately, the grain that Cao Pi borrowed from the cultivated land squires is enough for his army and people to spend the winter, otherwise this year's military food can be said to be a grain of no harvest.

Because Cao Pi did not collect taxes from any county in Youzhou at all, these were counted as the benefits of his new office. Tian Chou heard that Cao Pi had paid off the debts of all the squires in Youzhou, and immediately came to see Cao Pi, and said to Cao Pi: "Since the state pastor spends money to buy land, it is a clear distinction between public and private, and the debt of the Youzhou squire is the debt of Youzhou, not the debt of the state pastor. ”

Cao Pi smiled: "But at that time, many squires did not charge interest when they exchanged the debts for the glass." ”

Tian Chou said: "Since there is a written note, the grain returned to the state pastor must naturally be returned according to the interest on the written note. ”

"If that's the case, then next year's 700-acre manor doesn't need to be loaded with anything else, just enough grain." Cao Pi said with a smile.

Tian Chou didn't talk, shorthand saluted and left, Cao Pi thought about it, and then called Su Yan and said to him: "Go to Zhuo County to stabilize Li Li, the craft of firing pottery and copper and iron utensils is good, let him fire some things for me, but I don't have money now, I can use glass to pay off my debts later." ”

He asked; "What utensils does Childe want to fire?"

Cao Pi said: "There are several things, I will draw them and let you bring them to Li Li." ”

He received his orders and then left. In autumn, all parts of the country are busy with a bumper harvest, but Youbeiping is building a tuntian camp and repairing the city, and has been building a lot of construction. By the time all these projects were completed, it was already early winter, and the early winter in Youzhou was already very cold, so Cao Pi ordered the three armies to recuperate, and at this time, a document came from Yecheng: recall the tiger and leopard cavalry, Zhang Liao's infantry and Yu Ban's people's husband.

Yecheng documents were followed by a long convoy of the Sima family. (To be continued.) )
